CraKa delivers high quality, no bullshit event management services. We pride ourselves on our commitment to our clients and the success of their events.
The brand needs to reflect this professionalism and no-nonsense attitude to the way we do business. Please make the brand modern, fresh and fun. It needs to evoke a sense of value, quality and trust in people.
I want CraKa to be the focus of the brand and then Events to sit underneath as a sub heading preferrably in a different font. I was thinking something like the R and K would be long- fall below the other text and that Events would sit between these two elongated letters.
See my very simple hand drawn idea
This brand needs to be fun as most of the events we organise are just that!! I want to see along with the text a graphic element. The name CraKa obviously lends itself to using some sort of cracker image which I dont mind but am also happy to consider other options. I just dont want it to look tacky!

Sunchaser Pictures' Gavin Heffernan is back with another incandescent timelapse, this time of the city of Toronto covered in glistening ice after the arctic vortex passed through.
Writes Heffernan:
I was home over the holidays in Toronto during the epic ice storm of 2013 and I managed to bundle up and face the insanely cold temperatures to get some timelapses and document the damage — including a massive tree that crashed through the fence in our OWN yard (0:28-0:35) and a huge array of destruction unlike anything I've ever witnessed. As documented elsewhere, the ice storm also brought much beauty, with a blue blanket of transparent ice not seen since Schwarzenegger in BATMAN AND ROBIN.
Loving the surreal lighting effect of the ice on the trees, I experimented with utilizing / enhancing this in the second half of the video with a cocktail of Light Rays/Zooms/Rotations/Saturation — creating the kaleidoscopic "ICELIGHTING" effect you see. I imagine it's gonna be a "love it or hate it" effect, but I found it very transfixing, with a similar trippy rotational buzz I get from watching star trails.

AMD's 65nm 'Altair' processor, the first desktop chip to be based on the company's next-generation K8L architecture, will debut Q3 2007, various Asian reports claiming to be derived from the firm's roadmaps allege.
Set to debut at between 2.7GHz and 2.9GHz, Altair will run on a 4GHz HyperTransport bus. Each core will have 512KB of directly connected L2 cache and, as per past reports, each die will have a further 2MB of L3 cache that's shared by the four cores.
The chip's TDP is stated as 125W in both its Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX incarnations - which will connect across updated versions of AMD's Socket AM2 and Socket F, respectively.
Both parts will go head-to-head with Intel's 'Yorkfield', which emerged out of the rumour mill last week as its first monolithic quad-core CPU - the upcoming 'Kentsfield' and 'Clovertown' quadies are assembled from two dual-core dies. ®

Live shows are an opportunity for musicians and music lovers to share an experience together. After all, you're standing in the same room. Brick & Mortar Music Hall is a treasure trove for musicians. The small space offers an intimate setting that gives musicians the chance to embrace their audience.
I stood five feet away from WATERS' lead singer and frontman Van Pierszalowski Monday night and not once did I feel embraced.
Skip the foreplay. WATERS jumped right into a distinctly scruffier and rowdier sound, playing brand-new music from its upcoming album set to be released in April. When two beardy, flannel-sporting men in the audience started running into each other within the first minute of WATERS' set, I was afraid that this wasn't my scene. But the two human pinballs quickly stopped before the end of the first song, after fellow audience members ignored the unwelcome cavorting.
"Thank you everybody. The name is WATERS and we're from San Francisco," Van said apathetically. After the dissolution of indie rock-folk band Port O'Brien, Van created WATERS. But similarities between the two start and end with the vague nautical allusion. Where Port O'Brien sailed toward hazy folk, WATERS capsized into rowdy rock.
The first half of the rambunctious set consisted of unheard songs off the band's noisy sophomore LP while the second half was dedicated to the slightly less loud songs from Out In The Light, the band's debut album; all of it was heavy guitar riffs and booming drums. A somewhat out-of-place female keyboardist played quietly in a dark corner, offering sweet harmonies that added a much-needed contrast to the harshness in Van's voice.
Bangs calculatingly side-swept over his right eye, Van lightly rocked onto his toes when he sang. It was in those moments that I felt the disconnect melt away. But rather than building on that passion, Van would often sever the mood by rocking out alone on stage— creating an awkward feeling of detachment between the band and the crowd. Seemingly unaware of his relatively mellow audience, Van built up on boisterous vocals and turbulent beats as girls wearing black lipstick and acid-wash jeans swayed in the front row and cute boys with beards and suede jackets bobbed their heads up and down.
"I'm in love with every single one of you people," Van admitted mid-set. The false grab at intimacy made me feel like a high school girl cornered at her locker by a boy professing his unrequited love. The singer asked if anyone would be coming to the next shows during his month-long Brick & Mortar residency. A few hands flew up, several pathetic howls echoed in the room. He asked again ("Just put your hands up to make me feel better.") Several additional hands shot into the air.
The best part of the WATERS set was the last song, not only because it indicated the end of a generally lackluster show, but also because the acoustic version of "Mickey Mantle" was Van's first demonstration of genuine emotion. The final song on Out In The Light is a soft, acoustic guitar-driven tune.
Van attempted to quiet the audience and urged us to huddle close to the stage so that he could play without amplification. Welcome to the Van Pierszalowski Show. The other band members sunk into the background as Van balanced on the edge of the stage.
Imploring the audience to shout rather than sing the chorus with him, Van commandeered the audience into enjoying the final song. The lovely female keyboardist chimed in at the chorus and the bassist occasionally strummed his unplugged instrument — two welcome breaks from the shouting. But even Van's attempt at connecting with the audience was interrupted by accidental microphone feedback mid-song.
I promise I wasn't in a bad mood before heading to Brick & Mortar. On the contrary, I was rather excited about WATERS. As a fan of Port O'Brien, I had a lot of hope for the local band. The story of how WATERS was born, in particular, intrigued me: Post-breakup and in search of inspiration, Van traveled the world to decidedly graceful landscapes — the ethereal Alaskan coast, the frigid Norwegian fjords, and his seaside hometown in California. With a beautiful name like WATERS, it's difficult to grasp how such a harsh sound comes out of solitary travels to exquisite coastal settings. Unlike the graceful flow of rushing rivers and crashing waves, WATERS remained detached throughout its first show at Brick & Mortar. Despite the attempt to connect with nature and music, Van just seemed out of place.

Kevin Mounce of "Brews Brothers" sat down with us today at Suzanne DeLaurentiis Productions in Hollywood to discuss his upcoming film:
1. Did you have a particular role model or famous producer that inspired you to write your own film? Not really. I watched Good Will Hunting one night, read the script online and naively thought, "I can do that." Sometimes my ignorance is dazzling.
2. What do you look for in a screenplay or story you're producing? I love simple stories with characters I can identify with. If the plot is too complicated, I get lost, and if there's not at least one character I can relate to I'd rather just go listen to some Tupac.
3. What advice can you give someone who is just starting out in the film business and interested in becoming a writer or producer? Move to L.A. Go to events to make friends, not to "network." Write every day. And when you're ready to send out your script, write a killer query letter - short, sweet and make sure it matches the genre of your script. In other words, if you write a comedy, make sure your query letter is funny. If you can't write a funny query letter why should a producer believe you can write a funny script? Lastly, be patient. The anticipation and the journey is often more fun than the destination; especially if your destination is failure.
4. Tell me about your activities outside of filmmaking? Outside of filmmaking, my activities revolve around family, friends and frolic. Sometimes I do push-ups.
5. What was one of the most interesting surprises that you've discovered about Brian during making this film that you didn't know before? Brian is fearless. He can rattle off twenty horrible ideas or lines and have me shoot them all down, but he will continue undeterred. He will keep laying himself out there until he comes up with something great. I was also surprised by the firmness of his hugs. He's a hugger... and a writer.
6. What got you interested in becoming a writer and what steps did you take to make that happen? Like I said, it was naïveté that got me into writing. As far as steps that I took, I got the Movie Magic software, read everything I could get my hands on that related to screenwriting and watched a lot of movies. After that, Brian and I wrote several bad scripts (mostly Brian's fault) and then we wrote Brews. A couple years ago I moved to L.A. - honestly, that was probably the most important step out of all of them.
7. What are common mistakes young filmmakers make? Trying to pattern themselves after someone else. Find your own voice. If you can't do that, however, then by all means, use someone else's.
8. Can you talk us through how you will go about selecting your next project? Our next project will be the one that moves us in a primal way. Or the one we think we can make the most money on. Probably, the latter. Yeah, the latter.
9. When can we expect "Brews Brothers" on the big screen? 2014. Bring your grandma.

What does limited action mean?
Julianne Malveaux | 9/12/2013, midnight
President Barack Obama stepped on a big limb when he threatened "limited action" against Syria because the country allegedly used chemical weapons against their own people. There are international bans against the use of chemical weapons, with Syria one of few countries not supporting the ban.
Chemical weapons allegedly killed more than 1,400 Syrians, and the ongoing civil war may have killed as many as 100,000. President Obama announced his willingness to act on Syria's domestic chemical intrusion before Labor Day, but he has now backpedaled and asked for Congressional input in his decision. What will he do if Congress says no? Will he face the international community conceding that he has less power than he thought, or will he go ahead and take military action without congressional approval?
Reportedly, U.S. troops in the Middle East were ready to follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief before they got orders to slow down any action. Perhaps President Obama is finally listening to the sentiment of the American people, who, according to several polls, do not support action against Syria. Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) and dozens of other members of Congress sent the president a letter urging debate on any military action against Syria. Does the urgency of a strike against Syria recede over time?
Have we learned the lessons of Iran, Afghanistan, and, yes, Vietnam? In the last case, "simple" military action led us into a war that lasted for nearly a decade, and the loss of tens of thousands of lives. The "end" of that war was hardly decisive, with a withdrawal that didn't so much save the day as salvage the our nation's bruised ego.
If allegations against Syria are true, they have clearly crossed a line. Still, it is not clear that unilateral action from the United States is the solution. While the United Nations is not always as effective as it might be, I'd prefer United Nations concurrence to United States leadership in this matter.
From Iraq, we must remember that verification of the use of chemical weapons is key to any action. I'll never forget Secretary of State Colin Powell holding up a small container and saying, "this could be anthrax." Turns out, it wasn't. Based on that vivid display, we stepped up our action against Iraq, and a decade later we are still there.
General Powell said that if we broke it, we have to fix it. We've not fixed it—we are withdrawing, and billions of dollars and thousands of lives later, the situation is almost as murky as it was when we entered that country.
What will we do if Syria chooses to respond to our "limited" military action? Action and counteraction are the first steps to war. We aren't ready for that! We've got existing military commitments, and an already-challenged budget, something not often mentioned in the face of this impending crisis. Military experts say Syrian action could cost "about" $100 million. Depending on escalation, we could easily end up in billion-dollar territory.

The people who collect your vehicle taxes every year try their hardest to get your money.
Sometimes it�s a futile effort, as car and truck owners find creative ways to dodge the bullet.
But this summer the state will roll out a new system, aimed at ensuring no tax bill on a car or truck goes unpaid.
The change will likely confuse residents in Gaston County and across North Carolina at the outset. But officials hope it will pay off, literally, by bringing in more revenue and getting each vehicle owner to shell out their share.
Here�s a series of questions and answers summing up what�s coming:
How are vehicle taxes paid now?
Counties collect the taxes. The Gaston County Tax Office, for example, mails bills to vehicle owners once a year.
Payments may be made by mail, online, or in person at the Gaston County Administration Building in downtown Gastonia.
If the owner fails to pay, the county issues a �tag block� notification to the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles. The DMV will then refuse to renew the license plate and registration until the taxes are paid.
The DMV collects license plate registration fees, sending out its own annual bills.
What�s wrong with that system?
Many drivers find ways around the tag block. One strategy is to report a stolen license plate and get a new one for a fee, without having to pay the tax that would have blocked renewal of the old one.
Compared to property taxes, vehicle taxes are also more challenging to collect and keep up with because of people moving out of state, cars being totaled in wrecks, and other factors, said Gaston County Tax Director Jimmy Tanner.
Gaston County only succeeds in collecting about 85 percent of the vehicle taxes it is owed each year, compared to 99 percent of real estate taxes. The statewide average is similar, meaning about $80 million a year in vehicle taxes goes uncollected, state leaders say.
What�s changing?
The DMV is taking charge of vehicle tax collection. The bill you get from the DMV will include the amount you owe for both your vehicle tag fee, and your vehicle property taxes.
Vehicle owners will get the new, combined bill six to eight weeks before their registration is set to expire. People whose registration renewal date comes in July, for example, will get the combined bill in May.
The DMV will collect the combined payment and send the tax share to each respective county.
Counties will pay the DMV a base cost of $1.69 per bill collected.
How will you be able to pay?
As in the past, several options will be available.
The DMV will continue to allow vehicle owners to pay by mail after they get their bill, at a local DMV license and registration office, or online.
What problems could lie ahead?
The frustrating thing for some drivers could be shouldering a bigger bill at one time.
The amount of vehicle tax bills vary, but the state average is about $100. In most counties, including Gaston, the DMV tag renewal fee is $28.
There could also be problems with the data that is being converted from each tax office to the DMV, Tanner said. A faulty code, for example, could result in a $500 utility trailer being an excessive valuation, he said.
Vehicle owners who see any problems with the valuation of their cars, trucks or trailers are urged to contact the Gaston County Tax Office as soon as possible. Working out the problem before July will be easier than paying the bill and then having to pursue a refund later, Tanner said.
�We know there are going to be some things in here that are going to make taxpayers very frustrated,� he said. �If people get something that�s wrong, let us know, and we�ll see if we can�t resolve the issue.�

The Ute Mountain Ute tribe has secured $45,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency to install an air-quality and meteorological station in Towoac.
Two coal-fired power plants in New Mexico are within 100 miles of the reservation and bring pollution to the area, especially visible in winter months.
"The tribe has a vision of monitoring their air shed so assessments can be made on development and community health," said Mike King, an air-quality specialist recently hired by the Ute Mountain Tribe.
King, who is Navajo, worked for five years at the nearby Southern Ute tribe setting up and managing its air-monitoring program. He recently earned a master's degree in atmospheric science from Purdue University.
"We will be monitoring for particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur and lead," King said Wednesday during a public meeting on environmental issues in Towaoc.
"It's important to understand air-quality status because pollutants have health impacts to the community when toxins are inhaled. Pollution also inhibits visibility," he said.
The exact location of the air-monitoring station is being determined. For effective readings, stations need to be located in remote areas, have 270-degree unobstructed air flow and be a certain distance from roads and development.
In 2012, the Ute Mountain tribe also installed an air-quality monitoring station in White Mesa, a satellite reservation community in southeastern Utah.
The unit is unique because it is designed to collect radionuclide material, and was installed to monitor air quality coming from the White Mesa uranium mill located nearby.
The tribe has filed protests critical of the mill's operations and claims it has uncontrolled environmental hazards. It is the only operating uranium mill in the country and is regulated by the Utah Department of Health and Environment.
"The tribe decided to take it upon themselves to develop our own methods of monitoring air quality and pollutants in the White Mesa community," said Scott Clow, environmental programs director for the Ute Mountain Tribe.
The specialized unit is situated south of the uranium mill and acts like a precisely calibrated vacuum, Clow said. It triggers on once a week to collect a certain volume of air that passes through several filters.
The filters are sent off to a lab to detect radioactive substances, and the data is returned to the tribe for analysis. So far, 60 filters have been sent back from the lab and are being reviewed, but results have not been made public.
"We worked very hard to gain approval from the EPA for this type of air-quality monitor, and it is the only radionuclide air monitor on Indian Country in the nation," Clow said.

Toys, gifts, being donated to 3-year-old burned boy from Plaistow
PLAISTOW, N.H. (AP) � People have been dropping off toys and gifts at a New Hampshire police department for a 3-year-old boy at the center of a child endangerment case.
James Nicholson of Plaistow was recently released from the hospital. He is recovering from brain injuries, bruises and burns to his wrist and fingers. Police said a fund for financial donations is being set up for him.
WMUR-TV reports (http://bit.ly/TTAreu) the boy is living with his grandmother in Kingston. His mother, Jessica Linscott, and her boyfriend, Roland Dow, remain jailed on multiple charges of child endangerment. Dow also has been charged with first- and second-degree assault.
Both have been ordered not to have contact with each other or with James. The couple had said his injuries were self-inflicted; doctors disagreed.

hello all,
well since I finally got a working dialog box with the API, today I figured I'd try adding a listview control to it.
first of all let me tell you how I created the listview control. I created it in my dialog with the Visual C++ visual resource editor (APSTUDIO I believe its called, I am sure you know what I mean). I am using the Win32 API, but instead of hardcoding my resource files, I prefer to use the built in tool in Visual C++.
I tried adding a column based on code I seen posted here:
here is my dialog callback:
I know its very simple code, I am just trying to see if I can get something looking the way I want it. hwndList is an HWND global, and lvCol is an LVCOLUMN global. it compiles fine, but when I run it, the column does not get added.Code:BOOL CALLBACK DialogProc(HWND hwndDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(uMsg) { case WM_INITDIALOG: hwndList = GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, IDC_LIST); ListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle(hwndList, LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP); lvCol.mask = LVCF_TEXT | LVCF_SUBITEM | LVCF_WIDTH | LVCF_FMT; lvCol.fmt = LVCFMT_LEFT; lvCol.iSubItem = 0; lvCol.cx = 200; lvCol.pszText = "File"; ListView_InsertColumn(hwndList, 0, &lvCol); return TRUE; case WM_COMMAND: switch(LOWORD(wParam)) { default: return DefWindowProc(hwndDlg, uMsg, wParam, lParam); } break; case WM_CLOSE: EndDialog(hwndDlg, 0); return TRUE; } return FALSE; }
would anyone here be able to tell me why this isn't working? I realize the listview control in the above link I posted was created with CreateWindow(), but I don't see why that would matter here (or maybe it does?). using CreateWindow() would make this harder, since I would need to set the dimensions to properly display it in the dialog.
any help is greatly appreciated as always.
thank you in advance!

A MORE consistent and co-ordinated effort is required as an estimated 1000 people affected by continuous acid rain on Ambae Island have moved to Santo and Port Vila, a spokesperson for the Ambae disaster committee has revealed. Ambae was under threat from the Manaro volcano eruption last October, and while the threat has dropped back to level two, acid rain and ash that continued to affect the island has affected more than 5000 people, destroying their crops and fields.
Henry Vira, in an interview with Islands Business, said people were moving away at their own costs and trying their best to be resilient in the face of such hardships. He said while the government and civil society organisations continued to support communities with food, the assistance has been irregular. "Individual families in acid affected areas have moved to less affected areas along the coast of west Ambae and families need...

WATER and sanitation testing is on the priority agenda for Ambae Island as it recovers from mass evacuation amid fears of the imminent eruption of Manaro volcano last month. Around 11000 people were evacuated to neighboring islands last October for safety as volcano alert levels was raised to four – the highest in Vanuatu's alert matrix. Late last month, the Vanuatu government lifted the state of emergency and Ambae Islanders were allowed to return. According to an account of the Ambae situation reported on November 15 by Vanuatu's disaster officer, Manson Taridenga, the country's water and sanitation cluster was now cleaning and testing water quality in wells and tanks, while at the ssame time carriny out water and sanitation awareness.
Acid rain is a new thing to live with for the people of Ambae, and its negative impact can already be seen in the growth of vegtables like cabbages thus forcing some to move further north to the coastal areas....

ant invasive iguana (GII), also known as American iguana, in Vanua Levu, Fiji's second biggest island. Last week villagers living near Viani Village, on the south coast of Natewa Bay, caught a male GII, a reptile that could grow to two metres long.
Nearby resident Jay Browning said while the male GII was killed, it was unfortunate that a female was also spotted but it escaped into the forest. Biosecurity Authority of Fiji (BAF) had declared American iguanas as pests and they are working closely with villagers to find others believed to be in the forest. According to BAF the pests were brought illegally into the country some 10-plus years ago and released on Qamea Island.
They have since spread to neighbouring Laucala, Taveuni and Matagi islands and now to their nearest main island, Vanua Levu. American iguanas breed rapidly and a female can lay 50 to 80 eggs. As herbivores they pose immediate threats to food security, eating plants such as dalo leaves and cassava tops, bele, tomatoes, cabbage, beans and yam vines. The last sighting on Vanua Levu was in 2014, when Tawake villagers on the west coast of Natewa Bay, found and killed one on their shores. The scenic Natewa Bay is the biggest bay in the South Pacific.

IN the South China Sea, the Chinese Government has now built up a string of artificial islands that are robust enough to hold aircraft bases and give their regional neighbours a serious case of the jitters. Millions of tonnes of rock and sand have been dredged up from the sea floor and pumped into reefs to suddenly create 800 hectares of pristine Chinese territory.
Thousands of miles away in the tiny South Pacific nation of Tuvalu, the New Zealand Government has also been quietly engaging its own form of island reconstruction. Much to the delight of the Tuvaluan people New Zealand recently spent around $NZ10 million to fill in the "borrow pits" that were created when the United States effectively turned the capital atoll of Funafuti into a giant aircraft carrier during the later stages of WWII.
These open borrow pits which have blighted the atoll of Funafuti for decades were created when the United States started building a new runway as a launch pad for the bloody battle to reclaim Tarawa Atoll from the Japanese in November 1943. This runway now accounts for approximately 14 per cent of the total land area of 14300 hectares on Fongafale, the main islet of Funafuti. At only 26 square kilometres Tuvalu is the fourth smallest country in the world and 6000 of its 10,000 inhabitants live on Funafuti.

THE "Nuku'alofa Declaration for Sustainable Weather and Climate Services for a Resilient Pacific" was endorsed by the first ever Pacific Ministers of Meteorology in Tonga in July. This is the first historic step towards strengthening Meteorological Services across the Pacific island region at such a high level and now that the winds of support have propelled the Meteorological Services this far, it is hoped the momentum will continue.
It has been estimated that since 1950, extreme events including events that are non weather related such as tsunami, have affected approximately 9.2 million people in the Pacific, with close to 10,000 reported deaths and damage to the value of US$ 3.2 billion. Over the last decade some Pacific islands have experienced natural disaster losses that have approached and in some cases, exceeded their Gross Domestic Product over a single year. For example, losses in Niue due to Cyclone Heta in Niue in 2004 amounted to over five times the 2003 GDP.
The vast majority of the 284 recorded disasters that occurred in the Pacific island region between 1950 and 2013 were caused by weather related events, especially severe storms. Both individually and collectively, these disasters have had enormous social, economic and environmental consequences. For those that experience them however, these extreme events are more than just statistics. This is at the core of work by the Pacific Meteorological Desk Partnership based at the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) - to help promote the role of the National Meteorological Services and their responsibility in saving lives during severe weather events.

When it comes to trees, a decision in haste can lead to a lifetime of regret. Many trees grow more beautiful generation after generation. Others have the potential to create decades of trouble, dropping messy fruit or bothersome sticks. So take your time when selecting a tree to plant and choose one that offers the best combination of qualities you will enjoy.
Begin your selection process by asking: Why do I want a tree? For shade? Privacy? Something to look pretty? Or to block the view of the neighbor's less-than-lovely backyard?
A tree's growth rate also may have a bearing on your choice. The slower growers are hardwoods and tend to live longer. If it's important to establish shade or have flowers relatively quickly, choose a fast-growing tree. Typically, they're smaller, have soft wood, and don't live as long. Scale trees to their surroundings. Use small- or medium-size varieties for smaller houses and yards. On any site, put smaller trees near the house and taller ones farther out in the yard or near its edge.
Trees and shrubs are either deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall and are bare all winter, though the leaves often give a final show of beautiful colors before they drop. Evergreen trees and shrubs retain their foliage year-round. Some, such as southern magnolia, feature broad leaves. Others, such as pines, have needlelike foliage.
What to Consider When Selecting Trees
Every kind of cultivated tree has assets that suit it for some landscape use. Each also has certain requirements critical to its survival in the yard. Some are more cold-hardy than others, so check their zone rating for hardiness. Many do best in rich, moist, woodsy soil that's on the acid side. Others prefer more alkaline soil that tends to be dry because it's not as rich in moisture-holding organic matter. Some trees, like swamp red maples and bald cypress, can handle truly wet soil.
Trees also have their liabilities. Some have thorns that make them unsuitable for homes with children. Others are weedy. Some are messy—sycamores and relatives of the London plane tree drip fuzzy balls, bark, and twigs all over the place. The spiked balls from sweet gum trees and the runaway roots of willows present challenges as well. However, if you choose the right place for some of these less-desirable varieties, you often can overlook their faults and enjoy their virtues instead.
A small tree is not always a young tree. If it's small from lack of vigor, the condition of its bark will give it away. A weak one will have thicker bark that's textured with ridges, furrows, or flakes, rather than the smooth, tender bark of youth.
Certain trees are more tolerant of typical urban conditions, such as atmospheric pollutants from industry and cars, compacted soil, poor drainage, night lighting, and salt spray from snow plows. Typically, city trees have much shorter lifespans than their suburban or country counterparts. Those that do best are Norway maple, oak, Washington hawthorn, ginkgo, honey locust, sweet gum, crabapple, linden, and zelkova.
Ornamental Trees
For small spaces that need a little height, look to ornamental trees with blooms, berries, or colorful foliage. These species are beneficial for pollinators and birds, and you may get the added bonus of edible fruit!
Japanese maples (Acer palmatum) grow 3 to 20 feet tall and offer fine-texture foliage, rich color, interesting shapes, and a tolerance for some shade. Use them to adorn beds, pools, and lawns. Zones 5-8.
Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is fast-growing and has small, white flowers in the spring and colorful foliage in the fall. Its pyramidal canopy reaches 30 to 45 feet at maturity. Early versions such as the 'Bradford' pear, tend to split in storms, so choose 'Aristocrat' or 'Chanticleer'. Zones 5-8.
Crabapple (Malus) grows 15 to 25 feet tall and is covered in spring with deep pink flower buds that become white blossoms. In turn, the flowers give way to small red or yellow apples that birds love. The tree spreads to an irregular shape. Zones 3-8.
Chinese dogwood (Cornus kousa chinensis) has white spring flowers with pointed petals. Dangling, fleshy red fruits hang from its distinctly horizontal branches in fall. Zones 3-8.
Redbud (Cercis canadensis) bears tiny pinkish-purple flowers along its stems and bare branches in early spring. They give way to rows of wide heart-shape leaves. Pods become visible as leaves turn yellow in fall. Mature trees grow 25 to 30 feet tall. Zones 5-9.
Saucer magnolia (Magnolia soulangeana) is deciduous and grows up to 30 feet tall. It bears 6-inch-long, pale pink flowers early in spring. Zone 5-9.
Serviceberry (Amelanchier) is a tough and adaptable large shrub or small tree at 6 to 20 feet tall. Its early-spring clouds of white flowers become edible dark fruits by June. Yellowish-pink fall foliage entertains in a woodland setting or near a patio. Zones 2-9.
Weeping cherry (Prunus) varieties typically grow 15 to 25 feet tall and can spread up to 25 feet wide. They bear a blizzard of single or double flowers in pink or white. Zones 5-8.
Citrus trees bear lovely, fragrant, white flowers and edible fruits. These small trees easily deteriorate if not sprayed properly. Zones 8-11.
Shade Trees
Get the shady canopy in your backyard that you've always dreamed of. Although they take years to fill in and require maintenance like staking and pruning, shade trees are worth it.
Honey locust is tough and adaptable, grows 30 to 50 feet tall, and drops pods. Its foliage turns yellow in the fall. Choose the thornless variety (Gleditsia triacanthos f. inermis). Zones 3-9.
Tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipfera) grows quickly to its 25-foot height. Beautiful tulip flowers with orange centers snuggle among interesting leaves. Zone 5-9.
Willow oak (Quercus phellos) has narrow, pointed foliage and forms a fine-texture, dense conical canopy, rising to about 50 feet at maturity. It makes a good street and shade tree and is easy to transplant. Foliage turns yellow before it drops in the fall. Zones 6-9.
Sorrel, or sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), grows to 75 feet tall and is a multi-season beauty. Its July flowers are drooping strands of tiny white urns among slightly leathery and glossy, medium green leaves that turn to a brilliant red early in the fall. Zones 5-9.
If you're looking for privacy from nearby neighbors, conifers are your best bet. Some are more compact and act as a privacy screen, while taller varieties offer a bit of shade and can be used as windbreaks in rural areas.
Arborvitae (Thuja) grows to a narrow, conical 40 to 50 feet tall. It begins with a slender shape, then turns spirelike upon maturity. Many varieties exist that grow in various heights and widths. Zones 2-7.
Pine (Pinus) foliage is evergreen for year-round beauty and is composed of bundles of soft, long needles. Though some pines are a bit brittle in harsh weather, they're often used for wind and privacy screening. Hardy in various zones, depending on the variety of tree.
Spruce (Picea) trees are fragrant needled evergreens—perhaps the ultimate Christmas tree. They range in height from dwarfs less than 5 feet tall to giants that tower more than 100 feet high. Depending on the variety, their hardiness range extends as cold as Zone 3.

'The Bachelorette' Season 10 Finale: Andi Dorfman Gets Engaged, Faces Awkward Confrontationby Maggie Malach | PopCrush
It's tough to follow the dramatic finale of season 18 of 'The Bachelor,' but last night's ending to season 10 of 'The Bachelorette' came pretty close. Andi Dorfman declared her love … and drama ensued.
Warning: Lots of spoilers from 'The Bachelorette' finale are ahead!
'The Bachelorette' fans saw Andi finally find true love in former baseball player Josh Murray. However, rejected suitor Nick Viall didn't take the breakup lightly. In fact, during the show's finale, host Chris Harrison revealed video footage of Nick trying to make contact with Andi after she became engaged to Josh.
Last night, the two finally met face-to-face last night — and that's when things got a little awkward. Andi and Nick had the opportunity to talk in a conversation on live television moderated by Chris Harrison. During the tension-filled exchange, Nick explained he was caught off-guard by the breakup, especially because he thought Andi's feelings for him were as strong as his were for her.
"If you knew how in love with you I was, why did you make love with me?" Nick asked (quotes via Us Weekly), triggering an audible gasp from the audience.
"That's below the belt," she replied, clearly taken aback by his openness.
The mood was elevated considerably elevated when Andi and Josh were publicly reunited for the first time. The two were clearly in love — even Chris noticed they couldn't keep their hands off each other! Andi told viewers that she's looking forward to enjoying their engagement, while Josh joked that he's trying to get her pregnant.
Of course, fans are excited for the reveal of the next bachelor. Chris Harrison told the live studio audience that the lucky gentleman wouldn't be identified until a later date, but that didn't stop the crowd from chanting the name of one of Andi's former suitors, Chris Soules. When the camera panned to the former contestant, he blushed, leading some fans to believe he might be the next man to start a quest for love.
Who do you think should be the next bachelor, PopCrushers? Do you agree with Andi's decision?

Truth to Executive Power
A fairly reliable rule of thumb when it comes to books on history and politics is that whatever Publishers Weekly advises you to do, spare no expense in doing the exact opposite.
An excellent case in point is Jim Powell's new book, Bully Boy: The Truth About Theodore Roosevelt's Legacy. Its author, Publishers Weekly informs us, "sees Roosevelt as a dangerous tyrant who sought to expand the power of the executive office in order to promote his own interests." Powell's book is "irresponsible revisionism at its worst."
Now you might think Publishers Weekly, in the Age of Bush, would be more inclined than usual to look with sympathy on a book that holds the executive branch, and those who contributed to its expansion, up to fresh scrutiny, but being a 21st-century liberal means attributing all government wickedness to the uniquely perverse George W. Bush. The possibility that the Source of All Iniquity may be building upon precedents set by his predecessors, including those who our intellectual class has told us belong to the ranks of our "great presidents," is to be rejected with a kind of indignant horror.
Powell's study of TR is truly withering. It's one thing to argue that taxes are too high, that eminent domain has been abused, or that maybe Bill Clinton shouldn't have bombed that pharmaceutical plant in Sudan. What's so "irresponsible" about Powell's book is that it goes well beyond obvious cases like these and looks critically even at those government initiatives that everyone knows are indispensable and wonderful and that are taught to schoolchildren as evidence of the marvels of democracy.
Responsible people stick to the script: the state protects you, the state fosters prosperity, the state pursues justice, and without the state every one of you would revert instantly to barbarism. The cartoon version of TR's presidency that Powell seeks to overturn reinforces these civic myths, which is why our betters so often trot him out as a "great" or "near-great" president.
Thus the very accomplishments that the standard text cites on behalf of TR's greatness are what Powell uses to hang him. It hasn't exactly hurt TR's reputation that arguments on his behalf fit neatly into the space of a bumper sticker ("He made our food safe!" "He tamed big business!" "He protected the environment!"), while the inevitably more nuanced and accurate rendition of these historical episodes requires many pages of explanation. That, at last, is what Jim Powell has done in Bully Boy.
Decades before Powell's book there was Henry Pringle's unflattering study, Theodore Roosevelt: A Biography, but Pringle's analysis was uneven, and in any case his book is long out of print. Powell's book differs from Pringle's in that, rather than being merely an unfavorable biography, it is a self-conscious critique of Roosevelt and his legacy.
That critique is especially refreshing given the cross-ideological adulation that TR has enjoyed for a full century. The neoconservative Right loves him because in TR's rhetoric and leadership style they perceive the birth pangs of "national greatness conservatism," while the hopeless Left, which weeps over the Bush administration's lawlessness, can be counted on to cheer the lawlessness of TR because, well, his target was big business.
With certain New Left exceptions, moreover, the Left typically celebrates TR's contributions to the federal regulatory apparatus, quaintly taking the comic-book version of the story—why, these agencies were established by disinterested public-sector crusaders to protect the public from unscrupulous businessmen!—at face value. (Why the Left can be withering on the official rationales given for American foreign policy but views domestic policy with an almost childlike confidence in paternal government is a good question.)
Bill Clinton once referred to Theodore Roosevelt as his favorite Republican president. And no wonder: TR's presidential activism, his frequent use of executive orders to effect policy, and his loathing of nonintervention make him appealing to present-day Democrats and Republicans alike. Clinton went so far as to award TR a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor, a prize for which TR had unsuccessfully lobbied during his lifetime. ("I am entitled to the Medal of Honor and I want it," he wrote to a friend upon his return from the Spanish-American War.) It was thought at the time that since he had served in the war for a mere two weeks and his exploits had been confined to a single day, he came up short of the requirements for the medal.
Although his writing style can be rather bland, Powell is to be congratulated for carrying out a task that for many years has awaited a capable historian. Powell also acquits himself as a man of principle and courage: at a time when criticism of foreign intervention isn't especially welcome in some conservative and even libertarian circles—where this book is almost certainly being pitched—Powell refuses to shy away from the subject, criticizing both TR's interventionist philosophy as well as the interventions themselves. ("No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war," TR said, characteristically, in 1897.)
TR demanded American entry into World War I—as catastrophic a foreign-policy blunder as any American president has ever made—long before Woodrow Wilson made his fateful decision. He inserted into American political discourse the standard platitudes about world leadership: "A nation's first duty is within its own borders, but it is not thereby absolved from facing its duties in the world as a whole; and if it refuses to do so, it merely forfeits its right to struggle for a place among the peoples that shape the destiny of mankind." War, he believed, could be a positive good, since it encouraged the manly and martial virtues over the flabbiness that besets a nation at peace. Yes, he really said things like that, repeatedly.
Nothing is left standing in the traditional story of TR once Powell completes his careful and relentless study. TR the great trustbuster becomes TR the knave whose arbitrary assaults on business made consumers undoubtedly worse off. TR the great regulator of the railroads becomes TR the destroyer of the railroads through ill-conceived regulation. (If TR really opposed monopoly he would have looked more kindly on the railroads, which undermined many a local monopoly by making products produced elsewhere locally available—and cut land transportation costs in half while doing so.)
To my knowledge, prior to Powell's work there was no systematic overview of TR's environmental policies from the point of view of a supporter of property rights and the market. TR has long been assumed to have had the moral high ground here, and his programs have carelessly been considered beyond reproach. Powell will have none of it.
For instance, Roosevelt lent federal support to reclamation work—irrigation projects and dam construction—in the West, which meant subsidies were being given to make it possible to farm arid land. These projects had the intended effect of encouraging the settlement of the West, though at the cost of an obviously inefficient use of labor and resources. "Large numbers of farmers poured their life savings into irrigation farming," Powell reports, "only to find that it made no sense. They went bankrupt." Even in the face of a dramatic increase in California's population, subsidized irrigation still consumes some 80 percent of the state's water.
The foolishness of these projects, which had bankrupted many a private firm that tried them and gave countless headaches to the states that did likewise, became even clearer in the decade that followed World War I. With agricultural production normalized in Western Europe, demand for American agricultural products declined dramatically. American farmers began to complain of crop surpluses. Meanwhile, Roosevelt had used federal resources to encourage American farming in obviously unsuitable regions. For this we are expected to stand up and cheer?
One way to mollify Midwesterners angry that their tax dollars were going to subsidize the irrigation projects of their western competitors would be to subsidize something of theirs as well. That came in the form of subsidies to improve waterways—which, incidentally, were being used less and less since people typically preferred to use the railroads instead.
The legacy of TR's programs is very much with us today. The Bureau of Reclamation "has built more than six hundred dams around the United States, destroying beautiful valleys, building up salinity in irrigated soil, and drying up rivers. … The bureau also wastes stupendous amounts of water by building reservoirs in hot, arid regions, where water standing out in the sun simply evaporates." Sierra Club president Adam Werbach told a House subcommittee in 1997 that Arizona's Lake Powell reservoir loses nearly 1 million acre-feet of water every year, enough "for a city the size of Los Angeles."
Powell carries the TR conservation story up to the present in other ways, recording little-known facts about the National Park Service's administration of the national parks and the federal government's unimpressive stewardship of the national forests compared to that of privately owned and managed forests.
Jim Powell's important book confirms that if the American people are ever to emerge from the propaganda fog that surrounds them, a first step must involve the merciless smashing of the icon of Teddy Roosevelt. Then it's on to the rest of the, ahem, great presidents.

"Interior was carrying out a policy decision made by the President. On display throughout was the 'decision, activity . . . and dispatch' that the Framers envisioned for the Executive Department of government. THE FEDERALIST NO. 70, at 423 (Alexander Hamilton) (Clinton Rossiter ed., 1961). Litigation was not able to keep pace with these developments. See id. (discussing the Executive's unique role 'in the most critical emergencies of the state'). The national importance of this case weakens, not strengthens, the propriety of the court's contempt finding. The controversial policy decisions that the May and July Directives reflected were made at the highest level of government. In implementing those decisions, we do not discern a violation of a clear provision of the district court's order by the words expressed or actions taken by the Secretary."The district court dealt expeditiously and forcefully with extremely significant litigation. The potential APA violations that led to the initial injunction are not at issue today, but such violations, if significant, would justify a district court's consideration of an injunction. Our decision is a narrow one. We conclude that there is no clear and convincing evidence that Interior's actions after the injunction violated the clear terms of the injunction as drafted. Therefore, there was no civil contempt."

Looks sharp, neat and has some sort of logo involving a house.
Refer to some professional sites such as http://www.realestate.com.au or http://www.domain.com.au http://www.byumyplace.com.au http://www.remoov.com.au
google will provide the rest. Obviously we dont want to blatantly copy any of their designs but hopefully that will help with some ideas - i'll leave the rest to you!
Our current website is http://www.mhifs.com.au and the logo will need to fit in the same location. Color wise we would like it to follow the theme of our website mostly, but some individual colors will be ok if it's for the house.
We will also need to have the logo fit into a 160x40 space for the agency listings on the industry sites.

PIANY announces 2010 legislative agenda
Coastal insurance availability, fighting insurance fraud among priorities
GLENMONT, N.Y.–The Professional Insurance Agents of New York State Inc. has announced its legislative agenda for 2010. PIANYs comprehensive agenda, as identified by its member agents, is of importance to consumers and businesses statewide, and includes: coastal homeowners insurance availability, producer compensation disclosure, fighting auto insurance fraud and a number of other key issues.
"This years legislative priorities are of utmost importance to not only independent agents, but also their clients, the insurance-buying public of New York state," said Kevin M. Ryan, CIC, president of PIANY. "PIANY will continue to fight for legislation that will ensure that New Yorks businesses and homeowners are able to obtain appropriate, affordable insurance."
PIANYs 2010 Legislative Agenda
Coastal homeowners insurance. Among the issues important to our members this year is coastal homeowners insurance affordability and availability. PIANY plans to reissue its survey of coastal homeowners insurance to provide real market data to policymakers as they tackle this issue. The survey was last completed in 2007 and found that downstate insurance agents were seeking alternative sources of coverage, as many of their regular homeowners insurance companies continued steps to reduce exposure in downstate New York. The survey found that use of the states official last-resort market to insure coastal homes was climbing, with 51 percent of agents saying they sometimes use the New York Property Insurance Underwriting Association in 2007, compared to 47 percent in 2006, and 41 percent in February 2006.
Producer compensation disclosure. The NYSIDs draft regulation on producer compensation disclosure, published in the New York State Register on Dec. 2, though superior to prior iterations, still presents concerns for professional independent insurance agents, especially in the area of compliance. Accordingly, PIANY will continue to work throughout the public comment period with other producer and carrier associations toward further modification of the draft with the goal of eliminating compliance difficulties for its members. PIANY also will continue to reiterate its objections regarding the lack of any documented need for the imposition of the regulation on independent producers and has considered legal action at the appropriate time.
Continue fighting auto insurance fraud. A recent Insurance Information Institute analysis found that New Yorks automobile insurers saw their typical no-fault payment for the medical care of accident victims rise by 56 percent in the second quarter of 2009. The I.I.I. study went on to endorse a number of legislative changes that PIANY is pursuing as part of the NY First automobile fraud coalition, including: mandatory arbitration of no-fault claims; a repeal of the case law established by the Presbyterian Hospital case; increasing penalties for "runners;" and implementation of medical protocols for no-fault injuries.
Consumer issues. PIANY also plans to continue to work on issues associated with New Yorks out-of-state workers compensation requirements created by the 2007 workers compensation reform law; raising the current statutory threshold that enables carriers to surcharge policyholders for "fender-bender" automobile accidents; repealing the mandatory photo inspection requirements under Regulation 79; adding workers compensation to the type of insurance protected under Section 3426 of the Insurance Law; and reversing the departments position regarding the ability of agents to request cancellation of policies where a policyholders check has been returned for insufficient funds.
PIANY is a trade association representing professional, independent insurance agencies, brokerages and their employees throughout the state.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — They took Mike Weir in for drug-testing after he shot 72 Thursday at Augusta National to open the 10th anniversary of his 2003 Masters victory.
He joked earlier in the week that he was in the clear unless they're banning Advil — and he certainly popped a couple of those after his tee shot at the eighth hole left him clutching his ribs and gritting his teeth in pain — but the good stuff the 42-year-old Canadian had in him this day wasn't pharmaceutical in nature.
It came from memory, and guts, and discipline.
Maybe this is the new formula. Swing at 80 per cent, hit the centre of the club face, and to heck with worrying about the guys who hit it 50 yards farther, in the rough.
Weir, labouring with a rib cartilage injury that limited him to nine holes of practice for the Masters after almost total inactivity for two weeks since withdrawing from the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, swung easy and was rarely out of position all day.
He hit all but four fairways, barely missing two of those, and 15 of 18 greens in regulation.
"Yeah, maybe that's kind of a nice recipe," he said. "The temptation is there, because the golf course is so long, to go after it. But I had to reel that in today. But the ball is still getting out there a decent distance. It's amazing, when you find the centre of the face with a slower swing ..."
With three birdies on the back nine, gaining freedom in his swing as the round wore on and the day grew warmer, Weir — who'd been two-over-par after six holes — capped off his comeback by rolling a 12-foot putt for birdie, dead centre into the cup, at the 18th hole.
"Yeah, the tee shot at No. 8 gave me a nice little jolt, that's for sure, but luckily there weren't too many more," he said. "There was one on the back side, I think it was 13 tee, but other than that, it wasn't too bad.
"It grabs me, right when I'm coming to impact is when I feel it, and it grabs me and I can't extend through. It's like an interruption in mid-swing. But it's way better compared to Bay Hill, where it would double me over."
He was in a comfortable pairing with Lee Westwood and Jim Furyk, both of whom played well, Furyk shooting 69 and Westwood 70.
"I saw him in the trailer this morning, I know he was struggling, and early on it probably did look a little that way with the longer clubs, the driver, he was hitting the ball kinda low and flat," said Furyk, "but as the day went on he seemed to loosen up and he drove the ball really well for the second half of the day. And he picked up a lot of distance."
"I'm pleased," said Weir, who wasn't even sure he could play this week until Wednesday.
"I guess my expectations weren't real high, but something in my gut told me I was going to find a way to score out here. I've played this golf course so much, if I could just get that thing in the fairway, I know the right angles and the right spots to be on the greens, which I did a really good job of today.
"To finish that well was nice. It was a little frustrating, because I felt I left some out there, so to finish with a birdie — it's what I wanted to do: finish somewhere around par. A couple under would have been nice, but I got it back to par, and I'm in a good position."
He hit the ball so well, in fact, that with just an ordinary putting day (he had 33 putts) he might well have been three or four under par and right in the hunt.
"I mean, No. 1, No. 2, 7, 8, 9, hit it close on 10 (for a tap-in birdie), 12, 13 ...," he chuckled. "So yeah, I guess there were a lot. They weren't five feet, but they were 15 feet in the right spot. I was just a little off with pace on one, or line on another, just didn't quite get them together. But it was nice to get that last one."
With rain, perhaps heavy rain and hail, forecast for Thursday night and more unsettled weather Friday, Weir may have gotten the better half of the draw, playing early-late.

Together with IBM, New Pig is leading the way as more manufacturers move from the role of traditional suppliers to direct-to-consumer sellers. New Pig is using IBM Websphere Commerce, a key component of its IBM Smarter Commerce initiative, to put the customer at the center of decisions and actions. For example, the solution's community marketing capabilities enable New Pig to reach its customers through social media tools, such as the company's corporate blog, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, with tailored promotions and personalized offerings.
According to a recent report from Gartner, "e-commerce is no longer just for retailers and pure-play online sellers. E-commerce interest and hype have moved into new markets, such as manufacturing, wholesale/distribution, telecommunication, entertainment, software developers/publishers, media/publishing, healthcare, transportation and financial services."(1) Some examples of this are branded manufacturers launching their own e-commerce sites to develop customer intimacy and generate incremental revenue with improved margins.
WebSphere Commerce streamlines the customer ordering process by integrating marketing and shopping across all channels, including the company's website, catalog and call center. For example, the software has enabled New Pig to take into account how customers would want to purchase its products and create:
- Five e-site stores that personalize the shopping experience with tailored catalogs that display special pricing and benefits for select buyers.
- New distributor sites that provide the resources New Pig partners need to better serve their customers.
- Community marketing capabilities that use social media tools such as the company's blog, Twitter, Facebook and product reviews to help customers make a better purchase decision.
"At New Pig, we take our mission to better serve our customers to the extreme, from ensuring a 98 percent success rate of getting orders on the road within 24 business hours to free tech support and easy returns," said Tammie Shoop, e-commerce marketing director at New Pig Corporation. "Working with IBM software, we can deliver a world-class multi-channel shopping experience for our customers that is easier, faster and more personal."
New Pig is using the newest version of IBM WebSphere Commerce to enhance its e-commerce operations. This version offers improved search capabilities that make it faster for New Pig customers to find the products they want. In addition, New Pig can now segment its customer base for marketing purposes and target offers that will strengthen its customer relationships. These capabilities also will improve conversion rates and average order size at its five e-site stores. For example, New Pig can segment U.S. customers and provide product positioning based on Occupational Safety & Health Administration as well as Environmental Protection Agency regulations without confusing the customers in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Also this Fall, New Pig will launch a unique site for each of its major distribution partners, such as Motion Industries and NAPA Auto Parts. These sites, built with WebSphere Commerce, will enable partners to view their specialty items and access additional information to help sell their products together with associated leak and spill supplies from New Pig.
About IBM Smarter Commerce

text: The National Aquarium Animal Rescue team has been very active with sea turtle rescues this year, and their work is not finished just yet. In late October a new green sea turtle patient was submitted to the National Aquarium Animal Rescue hospital. The turtle was found cold stunned in New Jersey and transported to the National Aquarium for rehabilitation. "Cold stunning" occurs when sea turtles are exposed to prolonged cold water temperatures. Initial symptoms can include a decreased heart rate, decreased circulation, and lethargy, followed by shock, pneumonia and possibly death. Sea turtles are cold-blooded reptiles that depend on external sources of heat to determine their body temperature. In cold water they do not have the ability to warm themselves, and must instead migrate to warmer waters. Sea turtles are commonly found in waters off the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. during the summer and early fall. They typically begin to migrate south by late October. It is thought that animals foraging in shallow bays and inlets become susceptible to cold stunning because the temperatures in these areas can drop quite rapidly and unexpectedly. Ideal body temperature for sea turtles is 80 F but upon arrival to the Aquarium the animal's body temperature was just 72 F. After an initial examination the turtle was admitted to a pool with a water temperature of 73 F. The temperature was slowly increased to the ideal 78-80 range over the span of a few days. Our veterinarians believe the turtle is about 2-3 years of age. Its current weight is just 6 pounds, which is fairly consistent for a turtle of that age class. The turtle is adjusting well to the water temperature and has been chowing down on brussel sprouts, romaine lettuce, and dandelion greens! The National Aquarium Animal Rescue team expects to release the turtle back into warmer waters in the few months.

Update 21st May 8am: both chicks visible while doing a Radio Derby interview about them this morning - and both adults sunning themselves on the gargoyles above the nest too!
The three peregrine chicks on the nest platform at Derby Cathedral are still alive at the time of writing. Many of you have been watching closely since a second chick became ill on Tuesday morning. Despite all our predictions, it is still alive and has received much careful attention and protection from the Falcon (adult female). Despite its tenacity, it does seems highly unlikely to survive for much longer.
Not surprisingly there have been many comments left on this blog discussing possible causes and the appropriateness or otherwise of any intervention by the Project Team. It has been a pleasure to read all these views and to appreciate the different perspectives on the subject, even if seeing the chick via our webcams has not recently been so pleasant. Just as with the injured bird last year, we have had to think most carefully about what action we would like to take (and indeed what action we are legally permitted to take.)
The bottom line is that we shall not be intervening nor, unfortunately, shall we be ringing the chicks this year. Read on for further explanation . ..
Despite appearances (and some illness amongst the Project Team and families) we have not been idle these last few days. We share many of the concerns expressed on this blog and in deciding what course of action to take we have consulted with many people: local falconry experts, local veterinary experts, a national urban peregrine expert, DEFRA, Natural England and even Derbyshire police.
So, taking the advice of DEFRA and Natural England's Licensing Unit in Bristol, we applied late on Monday night for special permission to remove what we thought would, by now, be a dead chick, and had planned on arranging for post-mortem analysis to be carried out for toxins and parasites. One local veterinary expert suggested that, if parasites were proven, treatment could be offered to the other chicks at the time of ringing later this week, and he even offered to attend. Not unreasonably, our application to Natural England was rejected today on two grounds:
a) that any intervention or treatment to the other chicks is considered to be inappropriate, and
b) that any corpse could be retrieved at the time of ringing, meaning only one short period of disturbance, rather than two.
As with all other aspects of this project, we rely very heavily on volunteer input, and this includes ringing. Yesterday we realised that for the first time since peregrines started breeding here in 2006 our two bird-ringers would be unable to find a mutually convenient evening during the very short window of opportunity available for this task. So we have regrettably had to cancel our plans to ring (or "band") the chicks in 2010.
So late this afternoon we resubmitted our licence request simply to retrieve the chick should it die, without offering any other intervention to the other chicks, and we now await a second response. For a department normally offering a 15-30 day response to licensing applications, Natural England has been brilliantly efficient, and we will fully support whatever decision the national experts make. As a Project Team consisting of three respected organisations we need to show that we uphold the law at all times in relation to UK wild bird protection, even if it differs from that in other countries. Yes, we realise it is unpleasant to see another creature suffer - be they predator or prey, but our hands are tied in what must be regarded as being in the best interests of wildlife conservation. And even if they were not tied, we would still be making roughly similar decisions, possibly going down only to shorten its anguish if we could, as it will clearly not survive to adulthood.
We have always said how Derby's peregrine webcams have made us all fortunate observers of wild creatures, and not wildlife managers. We hope this explanation does clarify the situation in which we find ourselves, and we recognise that some of you will feel very differently. Meanwhile, despite the chick's obvious anguish, many of us have surely been impressed to discover just how much care and attention a falcon can give to a chick when it is poorly in some way and is calling out in distress..

10 Must Have Apps for the new Apple iPhone 5
The all new iPhone 5 was launched on September 12, 2012 (watch the keynote here). With a better processor and a bigger screen, iPhone 5 offers few more opportunities to app developers to harness the new hardware features. Although the iPhone 5 (which comes with the new iOS6) has a native integration with Facebook and Twitter, there are a host of other apps (free + paid) that are definitely a must have for the iPhone 5. This article lists out ten must have apps for the iPhone 5. Although the article is particularly directed towards the new iPhone, all of these apps are also compatible with iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S. Please keep in mind that in order for these apps to properly work you'll need a good phone service provider. Visit https://www.eatel.com/residential/phone to get more information!

Hi guys.
I wanted to create a quiz for my website. I have found some code from a website called (getcode.org) (prev world of webcraft).
The quiz now works as it should and I'm very happy it does. There is one problem I have adapited it to the needs of my website. The website is an learning aid for people like myself who suffer from Dyscaculia and its foucing on Fractions. I have added in 80 question into the database and at the moment the PHP/SQL code is selecting all of the question from the database.
I only want each quiz to contain 20 questions per quiz.
$singleSQL = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM questions WHERE id='$question' LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($singleSQL)){
$id = $row['id'];
$thisQuestion = $row['question'];
$type = $row['type'];
$question_id = $row['question_id'];
$q = '
'.$thisQuestion.'
';
$sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM answers WHERE question_id='$question' ORDER BY rand()");
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)){
$answer = $row2['answer'];
$correct = $row2['correct'];
$answers .= '<input type="radio" name="rads" value="'.$correct.'">'.$answer.'
<input type="hidden" id="qid" value="'.$id.'" name="qid">

Is there anyway, how I can just state in the SQL code to only select 20 questions from the "questions" table and to have them in a random order so each quiz will contain 20 different questions each time a user takes the quiz?
Here is the specific line of code that is the concern
This is taking the questions from the questions table
$singleSQL = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM questions WHERE id='$question' LIMIT 1");
And this is the code that is taking the answers from the answers table and putting the answers in a ramdom order each time the questions are displayed
$sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM answers WHERE question_id='$question' ORDER BY rand()");
Any help would be much appreciated
