One thing that's been lost in the translation from away messages to Facebook statuses and Twitter, though, is the art of the song lyric message. Most song lyrics are too long to sum up our deepest feelings in 140 characters, but that wasn't a problem with the AIM away message! No, we didn't have to come right out and say what we were feeling because an artist we liked had done it for us, leaving us with cryptic lyrics to provide our friends, hoping that they'd decipher our mood. And there were truly lyrics for every emotion.
I too have lamented this loss. Song lyrics just don't work on Facebook, just another post on a feed. With AIM, we got the added bonus of fonts and colors, all designs to prove how precious or earnest we were through what we listened to.
Katie nails down many of the categories the songs fell in, although her personal references do not mesh with mine (or my friends), since that is based partly upon taste. But no one who went to college in 2004 will forget the ubiquity of Garden State (I'm pretty sure everyone on my buddy list used "There's beauty in the breakdown" from "Let Go"). She misses the overused "We're so in love" lyrics from "Such Great Heights"—to this day I groan when seeing "I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles/In our eyes are mirror images and when/We kiss they're perfectly aligned". It's not original or cute anymore, it's hackneyed and trite.
Away messages were a code. Not always, and obviously, sometimes they were perfectly explicit, even when in song lyrics. I knew what certain lyrics "meant": trouble, or heartbreak, even if I didn't know specifics or if the specifics didn't line up exactly with the song. I just knew it was bad news.
Of course, away messages were also misinterpreted, sometimes causing lots of offense and drama. That was all part of college, as was the timing of certain remarks (whether intentional or not), or the inability to update the away messages either out of sheer laziness or because people were plumb not there to do so.
I suspect AIM is not held in the same regard now among this demographic, not with Twitter and Facebook and cell phones and text messaging all overtaking the importance of the away message. Plus everything can be integrated, so there really is no excuse for not updating. But I do miss crafting my away messages, thinking of the audience to read them. Now, out of college, most of my buddies have gravitated away, and like most social services, the fun is in who you know and how many people in your network are in, so the reason for going on has diminished, and with that the motivation to put up an away message. Now, the same people are on, usually at the same time—the evening.
Instant Messages have gravitated toward the workplace, as a way of connecting to far-flung colleagues, or to those in a big organization where picking up the phone is pure avoidance or laziness. Katie does nail some of the problems inherent with talking via this means: the inability to detect tone (sarcasm often falls flat), causing confusion; and how to squeeze in this activity while doing other things (also a mainstay in college). It always seemed dishonest to ghost in order to talk to only one or two people, or to put up an away message in order to avoid those you don't want to talk to while engaging others. AIM also foreshadowed the "digital autism" of today, the inability to have a conversation or pay attention to those you're physically with, preferring to spend energy through technological means.
I still go on AIM, but it's a different experience; it's to talk to specific people. I rarely have away messages up now—what's the point? Who's going to see? And with all the new features, it's no longer the service of yore, but an entirely new beast, one that's trying to still be as old-school but playing catch-up with the new kids on the block. AIM's heyday was rooted very much in its time, a benefit of a confluence of factors that was victim to technology and time: growing up.

Role in MMO
I would much rather write about player character's role in MMORPG, but it has come obvious from several instances – not least from my earlier posts – that the RPG part of the current MMO's is non-existing. They are MMO games, almost having "stress on the games". But I have started to wonder about the role a typical player wants her/his character to be, and the recent blog entries on WAR have given me more ground to this.
Up until late I have been advocating my 'perfect MMO', which would have quests and NPC interaction which would affect the outcome of the character's personal development. Multiple choice interaction, in which your decisions would change the outcome of the 'discussion'. Railroaded quests in which your input would change the outcome of the quest, even turn the quest the other way around (Save the princess – encounter the princesses mother – kill the questgiver – be crowned as king). Well, railroaded would be too strongly put, but you get the idea.
Now however I have come to the conclusion that it's all depending on the participation and role which the player wants to take. I'm a sucker for stories with strong hero's and anti-hero's. And as a human assumption I have thought that so are others, too. But the recent WAR outrage has started to make me doubt this assumption.
In EQ2 and WoW (which I have played), the player is lead to believe that the character is bound for great deeds and is the hero: the quests are posed to the character as the main hero and protagonist, the praise is given to the particular character for accomplishing a deed and so on. The player gets the zest that 'I am The Hero of this story' and starts to act like one. That is the assumption of the game developer at least in the Old World content. The content driven part of the game.
If there was an all and out war in WoW, each and every player participating the foray would depict a hero in the legend. At least that's how I would depict the incident. And because of that it's impossible to launch all the player characters out against the Scourge, for example, because there would be no armies to command. Like Heroes usually do.
In WAR (which I haven't played so far), where the war is everywhere, the presumption is completely different: the characters are soldiers fighting for their faction. And this is where it becomes a different bowl of porridge. The players assume their role as warriors for a cause, and are not in fact expecting to be the heroes or the protagonists of the great storyline. Of course there are the PQ's and Lairs and all, but as far as I have understood, the original position of the character is that of a warrior.
And it seems that a good lot of the players prefer to be fighting as footsoldiers against other footsoldiers in a large army instead of competing to grow up as a hero.
All this being said, I doubt that the player enjoying the status of a soldier would enjoy my perfect MMORPG. It would be too much to ask for a person preferring to be ordered and fighting to take the position of a hero in training and make decisions that would later on prove that s/he might not be suitable to be the warrior, but a healer instead.
Roles and role models are difficult. What is your role and who is your role model?
That is a tricky question, I think.

Sadly, I think quite a lot of MMO players don't assume a role in the first place. Skipped quest text and all.
Their avatar is just an extension of themselves, a paper doll to be dressed up in the coolest (and numerically best) look possible, so that they can feel good about themselves. And be so-called FIRST and BEST.
Mainstream MMOs like WoW and WAR that cater to the achievement need are rather prone to this.
Fortunately there are other slightly more story driven niche MMOs around, and there you might find people who do buy into the stated roles and settings. Eg. Eve - traders, pirates, etc. City of Heroes - being a hero saving people and so on.
Those sorts of games would probably be the best target for decision tree questlines and immersion into a story setting.
Maybe the KOTOR MMO will light the way. Who knows.

That is actually more what I mean when I talk about player's role in MMO: The role they assume as themselves. In the case of WoW it's clear that the game imposes the 'hero in training' role on everyone, because of the setting. In WAR it imposes clearly the role of a warrior with a cause, not that of a hero.
And yes, even the people in RP servers are not really roleplaying their characters most of the time, but are playing the game to gain more abilities, stats and gear for their character. Not exactly trying to create a story for the character in any way.
Technically this shouldn't be too difficult to apply, but it would require pretty much from the development team.

It is of course questionable whether the footsoldier type of player would enjoy a game where he has to actually think for himself in order to get all the best stats. However, I do think that there is more to it.
Eventhough a footsoldier likes to get ordered he will always have a certain goal in mind. Eventhough this is often the goal of "I want to have all the best gear" it can often be translated to a child-like goal of "I want to be just like that high ranking player". (Could that be some sort of hero idolization?)
As such, a player not that much interested in complicated storylines, would still have to make choices to achieve his goal to become like the previously mentioned 'hero'. That would bring some spice to the game...
I don't think that the main problem with your 'perfect MMO' would be that people wouldnt find it entertaining. I think people would not like the fact that once they pick something, they are stuck with it. A good example of this is all the build changes in WoW. One moment a player wants to be a healer, and when he's done with that he wants to be a DPSer. If that means you have to return to the storyline and redo it all, then not many people would be interested.

Japan-based Suppose Design Office built this brilliant family home that allows residents to be as close to nature as possible. Surrounded by a tranquil rural environment, the Hiroshima Hut features sunken rooms and see-through skin under its distinctive flat roof. Its unique transparency not only allows plenty of natural light to flood in, but also lets inhabitants to observe and interact with local wildlife.
Measuring 260-square-foot, this humble Japanese home features transparent walls and partitions. While the external walls are made from acrylic rather than glass — for its high thermal insulation properties — the curved interior partitions are metal mesh. This unique see-through quality not only welcomes plenty of daylight, but also allows inhabitants to see all around them, and also to be seen.

In response to its see-through design, the architects had to slightly raise the property on a gravel hill, to sink some of the rooms for privacy. This resulted in a partially submerged bathroom and kitchen with plenty of storage tucked away beneath the floor and a blurred line between furniture and the floor that is typically Japanese, but with a modern twist.
Thanks to this home's wonderful design, it is "possible for a deer to stare at the residents preparing meals," affirmed the architects.

Numerical Simulation of the Transition Region in Hypersonic Flow
McKeel, Scott Andrew
MetadataShow full item record
The current state of transition region modeling is investigated through a literature search. The six most promising transition region models from the literature search were implemented in the Navier-Stokes code GASP. Baldwin-Lomax is an algebraic turbulence model in which the authors discuss how it can be used to simulate the transition region. Wilcox developed a procedure to use the low-Reynolds number k - w model as a transition region model where a roughness strip is used to fix the transition point. Schmidt and Patankar developed production term modifications for low-Reynolds number k - e models to correct for the problems these models have in simulating the transition region. Warren, Harris and Hassan developed a one equation turbulence model that accounts for the first and second mode disturbances in the transition region. The algebraic transition region model of ONERA/CERT controls the amount of eddy viscosity added to the molecular viscosity. The linear combination model of Dey and Narasimha combines a fully laminar and fully turbulent flow field through the indeterminacy to form the transitional flow field. GASP is a compressible Navier-Stokes code which has a practical lower working limit of M = .1. The majority of experimental data for transitional flow exists below this limit. The test cases found above this limit and used here were all in the hypersonic regime. The results from the six transition region models were compared against the experimental test cases found for a variety of cones and ramps. Two models produced inadequate results on these test cases. The Wilcox model did not function as it was intended. The algebraic transition region model overpredicted the heat transfer in the turbulent region for several cases and did not transition in regions of large adverse pressure gradients. Several models performed adequately. The Baldwin and Lomax model provide fast estimates of the transition region. The Warren, Harris and Hassan model, the Schmidt and Patankar model, and the linear combination model produced adequate results on the test cases for this work and are worthy of attention on other test cases. Modifications were made to the Schmidt and Patankar model and the algebraic transition region model to improve their predictions on the current test cases. A turbulent spot was introduced into the boundary layer for the Schmidt and Patankar model which facilitated in the use of the model. Also, the maximum production allowed was recalibrated and allowed to grow exponentially to improve transition region simulating for the test cases presented here. The empirical transition function from the algebraic transition region model was recalibrated for the hypersonic test cases used in this work.

GIGABYTE Z68X-UD3H-B3 (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review (Page 13)
Final Thoughts
At $169.99 US the Z68X-UD3H-B3 is just under half the price of the Z68X-UD7-B3 which comes in at $349.99 US. This really paints a picture to what GIGABYTE have done with the Z68 platform. With 10 different models listed on the Newegg site starting at $119.99 US and going up to $349.99 US, they've really covered every budget and user.
This compares to companies like ASUS who have two boards at $199.99 US and $209.99 US, or someone like ASRock on the other end of the scale who have three boards with the most expensive being $189.99 US and the cheapest being $114.99 US.
With so many boards, though, it can be a little confusing as to what is what. There are only really a few things you need to know when it comes to the naming. If the model number carries a H then you're looking at a board with onboard video, exactly like the Z68X-UD3H-B3 we looked at today. If a board carries the UD label instead of just the D label then it's an Ultra Durable board and carries all those yummy features associated with the UD label. Then there's just the numbers after the UD or D. As you climb up in numbers you're looking at higher end boards, UD2, UD4, UD5 and UD7.
GIGABYTE has got a Microsite for the Z68 platform and if you want to find out which model is exactly for you based on features, I'd highly recommend you look at the page which compares all the models; it will really help when deciding which board to buy.
The Z68X-UD3H-B3 brings with it some great features. The big thing is from an aesthetics point of view, the all black design looks great and while the UD3H doesn't carry as large a setup when it comes to the heatsink, it still looks great. You've then also got the advantages of the Touch BIOS system which bridges the gap for people who want to become a bit adventurous.
Alongside those shared features, the UD3H carries with it onboard video which means Lucid Virtu can be used and also means you don't need a video card to get up and running. I'd love to see this board in an mATX version; a nice mATX case with a window looking into an all-black mATX board with no video card would look fantastic.
The UD3H sounds so wonderful, though. Why bother with the UD7 at twice the price? The same reason you'd choose the UD3H over the Z68A-D3-B3 at $119.99 US. More features, stronger overclocking and just overall, you're getting a board that's designed for a higher end user who has some more cash to splash.
The GIGABYTE Z68X-UD3H-B3 carries with it a look that is better than more expensive options including easy overclocking via EasyTune6 and the latest BIOS editing software, Touch BIOS. This is a great option for people who want a great looking board that carries onboard video and won't break the bank.

Illinois Well being Issues Weblog
Use this record of mental health group subjects that will help you plan groups or create a whole program. My personal introduction to well being care dysfunction was the case of my very own supervisor and buddy, Dr David G Kern, who finally lost his tutorial place because he refused to associate with the suppression of analysis he had performed on a brand new occupational illness, research that offended the company at whose website the illness occurred (look here ).
State and local well being departments have the authorized authority to shut public locations, such as a lake, to protect the well being of the general public. By distributing funds on a per capita basis and permitting sickness funds to supply rebates and charge premiums, (relying on their expenditures compared to the money they obtain on that per capita foundation), German health care coverage is designed to increase effectivity as the funds compete for members" (Orvis and Drogus 604).
It was a system that left tens of hundreds of thousands without protection, pushed well being care prices to develop far sooner than our economic system, and resulted in hundreds of lives lost from avoidable errors. This settlement marks the conclusion of probably the most comprehensive health care fraud investigation ever undertaken by the Justice Department, working with the Departments of Well being and Human Services and Protection, the Office of Personnel Administration and the states. Whichever apps you select, Well being adds up the numbers to indicate you ways a lot time you've got spent being conscious.
Congress can think about laws on suggestions that President Obama laid out in the August 2016 article within the Journal of the American Medical Affiliation, including enhancing monetary help, creating a fallback public possibility to ensure strong competitors in insurance coverage markets around the country, and giving the federal government the authority to negotiate costs for certain high-priced medicine.
MedSolis pairs a easy, intuitive and scalable care management system with a simple-to-use hand-held affected person app." This cloud-based mostly expertise could be integrated into virtually any workforce-primarily based care setting, including medical properties, specialty clinics, put up-acute care, readmission reduction programs, ACOs and health plans. Dr. Michael Carome, director of Public Citizen's well being research group, stated he was 'just stunned' when he heard 'Neill's title reported to be in consideration for FDA. KK Trainor: I am trying to say that non-residents get away without paying for no matter well being care they recieve in the usA. however the residents who even have lived right here their complete lives are billed till the day they die.

A Philly Tradition Gets New Followers
A Philly Tradition Gets New Followers
A century-old New Year's Day tradition in Philadelphia is starting to get hip. The Mummers Parade has always been a day when mostly working-class men don elaborate dresses and dance down Broad Street with parasols. It has historically been an enclave of families with deep labor-union ties. But now young artists are adopting the tradition as a creative vehicle.
AUDIE CORNISH, host:
You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.
Tomorrow, for the 111th time, the Mummers will strut up Broad Street in Philadelphia to celebrate the New Year. The annual parade of extravagant costumes is as much a part of the city as cheese steaks and the Liberty Bell, a time-honored tradition.
From member station WHYY, Peter Crimmins reports.
PETER CRIMMINS: The Mummers are a little like Mardi Gras, a little like the Macy's Parade, and a little like a morning-after walk of shame. Brigades of clowns, banjo string bands and decorated floats are conceived, constructed and performed by the city's working class.
Rich Porco has been involved for 55 years and he says it's not cheap.
Mr. RICHARD PORCO (President, Comic Association, The Mummers): In the Comic Brigades, you could have somebody spending $5,000. A string band, you can have somebody spending a hundred thousand dollars and have to raise that money in various ways, you know, some people have raffles, some people run beef and beer parties.
CRIMMINS: Brigades are anywhere from 25 to a hundred people performing a single routine. Fifteen brigades form a club. Four clubs form a division. So there are tens of thousands of people involved with this. Porco says some groups drop out because of the cost, which leaves space for new groups to come in.
(Soundbite of cutting fabric)
CRIMMINS: Aryon Hoselton, who is 32 years old, is at the helm of one of the newer clowning groups. He's cutting up salvaged hospital curtains to sew them into Mummer costumes. It's not unlike a scene from "The Sound Of Music."
Two days before the parade, he is still hustling volunteers, silk-screening 80 costumes by hand and working out the choreography.
Mr. ARYON HOSELTON (Costumer): Because you never stop. You know, it's like an art project that you never - you're never finished.
CRIMMINS: Hoselton is cutting costumes for people to dress as hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes.
Mr. HOSELTON: In a fun way, you know?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. HOSELTON: You know, because these - hurricanes can be funny.
CRIMMINS: Absurdity is part and parcel of the Mummer tradition. Every year thousands of guys, big union guys - like pipefitters and dockworkers - they don fancy dresses and they call themselves wenches. Sometimes, the absurdity goes too far.
The city of Philadelphia once had to proactively ban the use of blackface in the parade, because there was a time when that was the norm.
Hoselton says some people see the parade as an embarrassment to the city.
Mr. HOSELTON: I think, you know, it's a hundred-year-old parade. It's a great folk art tradition that has some bad history, but it's like - it's evolving.
CRIMMINS: Hoselton is an outsider - he didn't grow up a Mummer; his father didn't grow up a Mummer. There is a cultural divide between the working-class families in South Philly row houses and fringe artists living in North Philly in retrofitted industrial warehouses.
Elisa Ruse is of the latter. She has always lived in or around Philadelphia but never bothered to watch a Mummers parade.
Ms. ELISA RUSE: It didn't seem like something that was like for me. It seemed like a lot of like, you know, people who have been, like, living or from Philly, living in South Philly forever who were part of the clubs and everything. It sounded like there's all these clubs that, like, it was hard to get into.
CRIMMINS: This year Ruse is one of Hoselton's tornados.
Mr. HOSELTON: Everybody line up in the back. We're going to run through it.
CRIMMINS: Hoselton is readying Ruse to twirl like a dervish.
(Soundbite of music)
Mr. HOSELTON: You know, when you hear the air horn, dance with other disasters. Do a disaster dance-off.
CRIMMINS: Hoselton wants to get as many people like himself involved in what he calls the biggest art-making community in the city.

BREAKING REPORT : DOJ Believes there are Ample Grounds for Prosecuting Hillary
Newsmax is reporting that the DOJ believes there are ample grounds to prosecute Hillary.
They are also considering offering Hillary a Plea Bargain in exchange for confessing multiple crimes.
If they know she is guilty of multiple crimes, why let her off the hook like this?
Seems there are still one set of rules for the Clintons, another for everyone else.
From NewsMax
The discussion of a plea bargain took place late last month and was offered by a high-ranking Justice Department official to the Clinton lawyer.
During the exploratory talks with the prosecutor, the Clinton attorney was told that despite former FBI Director James Comey's decision last July not to prosecute Hillary, the Justice Department has reexamined the email case and believes there are ample grounds for prosecuting Hillary on a number of counts.
Under the Justice Department's plea offer, Hillary would be required to sign a document admitting that she committed a prosecutable crime. In return, the DOJ would agree not to bring charges against Hillary in connection with the email probe.
Also as part of the agreement, the Justice Department would not proceed with an investigation of Hillary's pay to play deals with foreign governments and businessmen who contributed to the Clinton Foundation or who paid Bill Clinton exorbitant speaking fees.
The Clinton attorney cautioned that normally a plea is offered by a prosecutor only upon arraignment, and Hillary has not yet been charged with any crime.

BOSTON (AP) — The head of a Massachusetts prep school says the former medical director was reprimanded for using a school computer to access adult pornography, one of the many reasons he was not rehired.
But Phillips Academy's John Palfrey stressed in a Friday email to students, parents, staff and faculty that the academy's concerns with Dr. Richard Keller are unrelated to a federal child pornography charge against him. Palfrey said he does not believe any of the students were the subject of Keller's alleged crime.
Keller, 56, a pediatric endocrinologist, was arrested at his Andover home Thursday. He remained in custody Friday and has a Monday bail hearing. Both Children's Hospital in Boston, where he works, and Harvard Medical School, where he is a pediatrics instructor, say they have placed him on leave.
Federal prosecutors allege that Keller purchased and ordered more than 50 DVDs of child pornography online. During a search of his home, authorities found more than 500 photographs and 60 to 100 DVDs of child pornography, according to an affidavit filed in court.
Keller was the medical director at Phillips Academy in Andover for 19 years before stepping down.
Palfrey said in the email that the school told Keller in April of last year that his contract would not be renewed. Palfrey said Keller resigned and left that same month.
Palfrey said the school did not renew Keller's contract because of "professional misconduct" unrelated to the federal charge. He said the reasons included the reprimand in 1999, "an inappropriate cartoon" Keller showed students in 2002, and "an inappropriate voice-mail message to a colleague at the school" in 2010.
Children's Hospital has said no complaints or concerns have been expressed by any patients or family members about the care Keller provided to them at Children's.

It can make you feel terrible when your man isn't paying enough attention to you. Often times, you will want to do things either to or for him so that he will stop what he's doing and put his attention back on you. Unfortunately, sometimes doing this will make you look needy or controlling. Neither of these things are going to work to your favor. Instead of begging your man to pay attention to you, you should make him WANT to pay attention to you (see video instructions), by simply paying less attention to him.
Pay Less Attention to Him
When you notice he's been paying less attention to you, one of the things you can do is give him a taste of his own medicine. Don't whine or complain to him that you're lonely or bored. This will only annoy him, and will probably lead to the two of you arguing. Instead, you should about your hobbies. Figure out things that you like to do, or things that you've been interested in and haven't tried out yet. Focus your attention on those things. When you do, the fact that he isn't paying much attention to you won't be as obvious.
Eventually, he will notice that you aren't paying as much attention to him either. He will then try to pull your focus away on what you're doing, so that you will focus on him. Don't allow him to do this. Give him attention on your time. If you stop what you're doing to give him attention when he wants, he will start to believe that he has control over you. Make him realize what he's doing by doing the same thing to him. The best part is that he will be a total hypocrite if he complains about it.
Show Him that Other People Value You
Another thing you can consider when your man isn't paying enough attention to you is to show him that other people value you, and your attention. If you've slacked off on hanging out with friends, now would be the perfect time to pick it back up again. Join a group or a club, and make an effort to make it to the meetings. Make a tradition of having lunch with a former co-worker (Learn How to get out of lunch with co-workers Here) that you got along well with. When men see that there are other people out there who value you, and your time, they either become possessive, jealous, or envious. Each of these things should draw their focus back to you. But be careful if they're going about it the wrong way. Sometimes men don't always respond to jealously in ways that we'd hope.
Getting your man to put his attention back on you isn't difficult. You simply need to make him come to the realization that you deserve his attention. Don't nag him about paying attention to you. Usually it just backfires and causes arguments. Instead, make him realize how lonely he is when you're not paying attention to him.

A couple of times lately I've decided to stray from my usual healthy breakfast. First, on day one of vacation I found some Pizza Rolls in the freezer and said, "Why not?" Let me tell you, there were soooo many reasons why not. Sodium, preservatives, calories galore…..but I did it anyway much to my own discomfort. As the day proceeded, I found myself feeling very lethargic and asking myself why I had no energy.
Then early in the week I decided to mix up the menu. I substituted my planned breakfast of CarbMaster Yogurt, Fruit, and Multigrain Waffles with a serving of frozen hashbrown casserole. It was available, looked yummy, and I could make it fit the calorie goals for the day. It seemed like a reasonable thing to do, but afterward I felt icky, fatigued, and bloated.
I'm a slow learner sometimes but I finally caught on. When I fill my body with healthy nutrient rich foods I feel energetic and happy. When I put artificial foods with empty carbs and preservatives in my system it sludges my system up and makes me feel yucky. Why don't I retain this? Why am I surprized after I eat something "junky" that I feel bad? I wouldn't put bad fuel or foreign substances in my vehicle and expect it to run well. The same should be true with my body. Each morning I need to be intentional and think about how good (or bad) breakfast can make me feel. perhaps my wake up prayer each morning needs to include thanks for the day and the food I am about to receive along with a request for mindfulness to make the choices that will benefit me.
Time to fuel up! I'm thinking fresh, light, and healthy foods will make me feel fresh, light and healthy! Are you looking for foods that make you feel great but can be prepared in a hurry? Check out the Women's Health Magazine Article "Your Groceries Are About To Get A Whole Lot Healthier" for their list of the healthiest pre packaged foods to chose for your wellness and convenience.

in my bigger aquarium. I had to rub brown algae off many leaves again. Removed a few more crypt wendtii leaves and pulled out quite a few vallisneria that had black tufts appearing.
Pulled out a bunch more thread algae this week, too. I can't quite see it in the lower areas of the rotala indica, but I can feel it- so I run my fingers gently pinching between the stems and even though I can't feel the algae threads between my fingers, I can feel and see the resistance when I pull and disentangle it from the rotalas. It's an odd sensation, fishing blind for it like that.

should have had a magnetic clamp to get on and off, need 2 people to put on and take off, would like to send it back for a different style attachment

I did much research on the magnetic phenomena before I decided to try it. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in neck and shoulder, TMJ, and migraine like headaches. I was floored when after just 4 days of wear the pain had dulled, no headaches for over a week now, and my activity level has improved to the point I can return to some activities I thought I would have to give up. I admit I did not expect this degree of effect. The necklace has gotten sooo many compliments and everyone is awed when I tell them it is a magnetic piece. There is still a great deal of bogus magnetic jewelry out there, but Superior Magnetics manufactures the REAL DEAL.

Have not had a headache or pains in the am since started wearing Sept 16th, used to get at least 4 or 5 per week, except for two nights I forgot to put it on after getting out of hot tub or shower.

'Stun Fone' iPhone Stun Gun Exposed as Fake
If you thought the "Stun Fone" was a fake, congratulations.
A device that apparently turned the Apple iPhone into a stun gun turned out to be the latest viral hoax instigated by the ad agency that helped launch the Conan O' Brien show on TBS.
Mention of the video appeared on the LA Times, CBS News, and Wall Street Journal Web sites, among others.
The video purported to be the creation of one Jeff Esteghlalian, who claimed that an attachment turned the battery-powered Apple Phone into a 90,000-volt stun gun, completely ignoring the laws of physics.
Stun Creative, which helped the "Conan" launch, and led by founders Mark Feldstein and Brad Roth, said in a statement Friday that they launched the video in part to promote their own "Stun" brand, but also to develop their own viral campaign.
"We implemented this campaign solely to illustrate the power of a great idea," Roth said in a statement. In today's universe, you don't have to be heavily funded to present a new idea through social media; you just need to be highly inventive. In less than one week, we've actually received over 20,000 requests for orders for the 'Stun Fone' product from every corner of the globe."
At press time, the L.A. Times merely updated their post to acknowledge the fake, while CBS and the Journal hadn't yet reacted. At least Stun Creative has come forward and acknowledged the hoax, unlike the numerous fakes that surface around the time of each Apple product launch.
We've included the video below, for whatever comments you want to attach to it.

I have to admit that finding some signature boy clothes has been somewhat of a challenge for us. We're not sports enthusiasts, or the typical blue onsie with animal prints all over it. We like to be different and the best way to do that is with a few handmade gifts. I'm on the look out for some good stuff to screen print so this morning I asked Brett who his favorite super hero was. He chose Wolverine:
I think I'll probably use the middle silhouette!
Brett is also a MASSIVE Star Wars geek! I'm talking about the man who bought a specially made light saber which is filled with a special polycarbonate & LED laser pointer so if you want to use it to fight you can.(And Yes, I do know all about this stuff, I watched many a light saber duel with him!) You can also add the fact that rather than a wedding march, I walked down the isle to the Star Wars title music! And We are huge fans of that VW commerical with the little boy dressed as Darth Vader, I admit that commerical alone made me want a Volkswagon! Well done VW, well done! So it seems only fitting that Adrian should have at least one onsie with the iconic Vader Mask, minus the light sabers.
I think I'll put Brett to work making these, he'll enjoy it.
We are getting very excited about this little guy, Even Adelle is starting to become more interested in all the Adrian stuff being brought up! I'm also in the process of making a floor pouf to use as an ottoman while breastfeeding. I will definitely share all these crafts as soon as they're finished! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'm off to build a Lego tower with Adelle who's been waiting so patiently!

Unfortunately, I didn't read a lot of children's poetry this year. Not sure how that happened, but it's something that I want to remedy in 2013. At any rate, here are the top five poetry books that I loved this year with links to my full reviews:
I, Too, Am America by Langston Hughes – Hughe's gorgeous poem is married with the story of the African-American Pullman porters in Bryan Collier's extraordinary illustrations.
Last Laughs by J. Patrick Lewis – Dark and fiercely funny about dead animals, perfect for Halloween but worthy of reading all year round.
North: the Amazing Story of Arctic Migration by Nick Dowson – A striking mix of poetry, art and science tells the story of this unique ecosystem.
Outside Your Window by Nicola Davies – Explore nature through the seasons in this vibrant book of poetry illustrated with collage art that speaks to the beauty of nature.
A Strange Place to Call Home by Marilyn Singer – Another wonderful combination of poetry, science and art, this book explores habitats that are dangerous and unusual.

The Commonsense Cookery Book, 1959 edition. Also a thrift shop find, this edition has the quirky addition of clipped and hand written recipes carefully stapled over food specked pages. This was a book that someone loved, and used – a lot. Who would part with such a gem? One of the things I love about vintage recipes is the quirkiness of the measurements. In the absence of exact science and precise measurements bakers call for today, there's often reference to a bit of this, a dash of that, or a …
