Chimpanzee Art Contest Winners Announced
Renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall and public voted on favorite artwork to benefit sanctuaries
Brent, a 37-year-old retired chimpanzee from Chimp Haven in Keithville, La., has won first place in The Humane Society of the United States' Chimpanzee Art Contest, which featured paintings created by chimpanzees living in sanctuaries throughout the United States and generated more than 27,000 votes. Famed primatologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall reviewed the entries and selected a painting by Cheetah as the best in a judged prize category.
The following sanctuaries with the winning chimpanzees will receive grants from The HSUS to help care for chimpanzees retired from research, entertainment and the pet trade:
- Online voting:
- 1st place public voting ($10,000): Brent from Chimp Haven in Keithville, La.
- 2nd place public voting ($5,000): Cheetah from Save the Chimps, Fort Pierce, Fla.
- 3rd place public voting ($2,500): Ripley from Center for Great Apes, Wauchula, Fla.
- Dr. Jane Goodall's selection ($5,000): Cheetah from Save the Chimps, Fort Pierce, Fla.
Other entries included artwork by Jamie from Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest in Cle Elum, Wash., Jenny from Primate Rescue Center in Nicholasville, Ky., and Patti from Chimps, Inc. in Bend, Ore. All six sanctuaries will each receive a $500 grant from The HSUS for participating.
Kathleen Conlee, vice president of animal research issues at The HSUS said: "We cannot thank these sanctuaries enough for providing their chimpanzee residents with such peaceful and enriching lives. They deserve the public's support for the amazing work they are doing and will continue to do as hundreds more chimpanzees make their way to retirement after decades in laboratories."
For the contest, six sanctuary members of the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance submitted an original piece of artwork created by one of their resident chimpanzees. Creating artwork is one of many enrichment activities sanctuaries can offer captive chimpanzees. The contest was designed to bring attention to both the great abilities of these chimpanzees and the sanctuaries that care for them.
Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace said: "All of the art was beautiful and unique, just like chimpanzees! It was difficult to choose. It's so important that the public support all of these sanctuaries in their mission to provide exceptional care to chimpanzees, and other primates, who have suffered through so much."
Dr. Goodall made her selection prior to the online voting. She was provided only with the photos of the paintings and received no identifying information such as the information about the chimpanzee artists or sanctuaries where they reside.
To see all six of the submissions and to learn more about the chimpanzee artists, visit humanesociety.org/chimpart. The paintings will be auctioned on eBay later this year and the proceeds will benefit the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance.
- The North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance currently has eight member sanctuaries, which are all accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, and collectively provide excellent, lifetime care for nearly 500 chimpanzees retired from research, entertainment and the pet trade. NAPSA's mission is "to advance the welfare of captive primates through exceptional sanctuary care, collaboration and outreach." Member sanctuaries include the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch, which is operated by The Fund for Animals, an affiliate of The HSUS.
- It is estimated that there are more than 1,100 chimpanzees in the United States who currently reside in laboratories, entertainment facilities, private residences, and unaccredited facilities.
- In June, the National Institutes of Health announced plans to retire nearly 90 percent of the 360 government-owned chimpanzees to sanctuary and significantly decrease chimpanzee research grants.
- Also in June, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed a rule to list all chimpanzees as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. If finalized, that proposal is expected to significantly impact the use of chimps for harmful biomedical research, entertainment, and interstate trade as pets. Any use of chimpanzees that would cause harm to the animals would require a permit and FWS would evaluate each permit application individually to determine whether the proposed action would promote conservation of the species, as required by the ESA.

Why use diamond for tweeter domes? It may seem extravagant, but the move is simply an extension of Bowers & Wilkins's pursuit of the perfect loudspeaker.
One element of our quest for the best is the development of drive units that neither add nor subtract from the signal. In a tweeter, that means creating a dome that remains rigid, exhibiting perfectly piston-like behaviour, as far up the frequency scale as possible. Best for this are materials with a high stiffness to density ratio – which is where diamond comes in.
In the below video, Bowers & Wilkins Head of Research, Gary Geaves, explains the science behind diamond tweeters.
You can read more about our Diamond Tweeters and 800 Series Diamond on our website.

The placement exam in French is an online multiple-choice format exam; it consists of questions on vocabulary, grammar and reading comprehension. There is no oral or listening part to the exam. Since it is a computer-adaptive test, the length varies from one individual to another, with the average time being 20 minutes. Please supply all the required information. Your score and placement will become available immediately upon completion of the exam. A copy of your score along with a placement determination will be sent by email to you as well as to the French Language Program at Penn. You must print out your results as well. After receipt of this report, you may then register in the appropriate course by following the instructions you have received to that effect.
Since you are taking the exam on your own, the exam must represent your own work; it is also in your interest to work to the best of your ability. By taking this test you are bound by the terms of the University's Code of Student Conduct and Code of Academic Integrity. Please familiarize yourself with both of these documents before taking the exam.
Only your first score will be considered valid for placement purposes.
Should you have any concerns, please contact the proper course coordinator or the Undergraduate Coordinator.

Music & Tech Conference. 01/2011 - 12/2011.

...I was wondering if after all these months you'd like to see...
...Two really mediocre pictures from Christmas Eve. (Womp womp.)
I had to pull out my SD card for another project this morning, and found it really funny and sad at the same time that there were only 10 pictures on the card, all from Christmas Eve, which means:
1. I didn't take any pictures of Christmas Day, or Matt's birthday, or Oona's second birthday.
2. I haven't picked up my camera in a really long time.
3. I haven't touched this blog in a really long time.
Life got really busy after Christmas. The biggest change is that I just got a part time job! I'm not quite ready to talk about it on here, but it's an exciting turn of events for me. My life is not at all like I imagined it would be as a kid, and that's something I sometimes get anxious about. However, I have to say I'm kind of enjoying being surprised by each unexpected twist of the road.
I think things will be quiet here for the rest of winter. Matt and I have an exciting trip planned for April which I'm excited to document here, and with the return of spring and summer always comes a renewed interest in taking photos so I don't think this is the end of blogging for me, just a short hiatus as I get adjusted to some big changes in life.

Rottnest Island Tours
Fringed with rocky coves, white sandy beaches, and sun-soaked shores, Rottnest Island's natural pleasures are numerous—whale-watching, snorkeling, hiking and wildlife spotting along the coast, and taking in the ocean sunsets. At less than an hour from Perth, Rottnest Island, or "Rotto," makes for an idyllic retreat from the city.
The Basics
The car-free shores of Rottnest Island lend themselves well to a guided island tour, and it's possible to check off the highlights on a day trip from Perth. Pedal your way around the shores on a bike tour, stopping at attractions such as Wadjemup Lighthouse, Henrietta Rocks, Oliver Hill, and Cathedral Rocks; or set sail around the island on a snorkeling or whale-watching cruise.
Things to Know Before You Go
- There is no public transport on the island, and the only way to get around is by tour bus or rental bike.
- Cell phone coverage can vary throughout Rottnest Island, but free Wi-Fi hotspots are dotted around the island.
- Kayak, paddleboard, and bike hire is available at the Rottnest Island Visitor Centre.
- Most boat cruises, accommodation options, and ferries on the island are wheelchair accessible, but it's best to confirm in advance.
How to Get There
Rottnest Island is located off the coast of Western Australia, 11 miles (18 kilometers) from Perth in the Indian Ocean. Ferries run from Hillarys Boat Harbour north of Perth (around a 45-minute journey), from Fremantle to the south (25 minutes), or from the Barrack Street Jetty in the city center (90 minutes). The closest airport is Perth, which offers regular flights to Sydney, Melbourne, and other Australian cities.
When to Get There
Blessed with a Mediterranean-style climate, Rottnest Island has sunshine and warm waters year-round. The most popular time to visit is during Australia's summer (December-February), when tours, ferries, and accommodation can be more expensive and advance bookings are advised. Alternatively, a winter (June-November) visit can save money and avoid crowds; it's also the best time to spot humpback whales on their annual migration.
Wildlife Watching on Rottnest Island
Look out for Rottnest's famous quokkas on a guided wildlife-watching tour, spot humpback and southern right whales during their annual migration, or look out for wedge-tailed shearwaters and ospreys along the West End boardwalk. Other common sightings include New Zealand fur seals, white-striped freetail bats, marbled geckos, green turtles, and numerous exotic birds, including banded stilts, crested terns, and red-capped plovers.

5 Great Ways to Finance Your Small Business
Sun, 11/11/2012 - 9:02pm | by Guest Contributor
Getting a small business off the ground is never an easy undertaking, but with our current economy continuing to circle the drain, this might be the most difficult time in decades to launch a new business (or keep one afloat). So if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of trying to secure the funds needed to start up, expand, or simply hold steady, you may be tempted to hit up any port in a storm. This, however, is a terrible idea. There are a lot of good ways to get the funding you need for your small business, but there are just as many bad ones.
If you're short on capital and you need a boost, here are a few great ways to get the financing you need without selling your stake (or your soul) to do it.
1. Use your own money.
This is a pretty risky way to start a business since you stand to lose everything, but at least you won't end up in debt with no means of paying should your business fail. And if you succeed, of course, everything comes back to you. Of course, most people don't have the cash on hand to support the financial needs of a business, so you will likely have to make a trade of some sort (as in, sell your house or take out a second mortgage to start your business).
2. Bank loan.
This is the most common way to secure the funds needed to start a small business, but these days it is no easy task. Since the mortgage lending crisis tanked the economy, lenders have gotten a bit twitchy about handing out loans (especially to anyone considered high risk). However, there are advantages to this type of loan, not the least of which is a low, stable interest rate.
3. Family loan.
Mixing business and family is something that most people like to avoid, but if you believe in your business and your family (or friends) believe in you, then you may be able to get the funding you need without involving banks or other strangers. Just write up an agreement for repayment (including any interest to be paid as well as deadlines for payment) so that all parties are protected. The benefit of this type of loan is that your loved ones are likely to be a bit more lenient with the payment plan. The obvious drawback is the potential to ruin a close relationship, but as long as you repay their kindness, there shouldn't be any problem.
4. Venture capitalists.
It takes a certain type of business to grab the interest of a venture capitalist (or more likely, a group of them). But if your business is growing in leaps and bounds with no sign of slowing and you're ready to take it to the next level, then you may be able to secure thousands (or even millions) of dollars to do just that. Of course, they may want a say in how you ramp up your operation, and you will have to pay the loan back with interest (and venture capitalists often seek a swift return on investment), but if your projections are solid, you stand to gain a lot from this line of credit.
5. Government grants.
Depending on who you are and the type of business you're starting, you could be eligible for government small business grants at the federal, state, or local level. Look on Grants.gov to see if there are any you can apply for or check with your local Chamber of Commerce.

Atletico go top of La Liga
Madrid, Jan 5 (IANS) Atletico Madrid went top of Spain's BBVA Primera Liga following a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Malaga.
Jorge Resurrecion's goal 20 minutes from time following good work by Diego Costa made the difference between the two sides Saturday night and was also the first goal scored in the Liga in 2014, reports Xinhua.
The fact that FC Barcelona don't play their game at home to Elche until Sunday night means the win lifts Atletico three points clear at the top of the table, although goal difference means that a win for Barca will lift them back on top.
On the second anniversary of taking over at Atletico Madrid, Atletico coach Diego Simeone praised the effort of his entire squad saying the win had been "really hard work and very difficult."
"If it had not been for the substitutes who came into the game, maybe we would not have taken the points," said the coach, who added that he expected Barcelona to win their match against the Primera Liga strugglers.

Foreo Luna Mini 2 Review! A Magic Cleansing Device?
WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MINNEE TESTED!! ☺ ☺ In this video, you will find me doing Foreo Luna Mini 2 review. I tested the device while trying wash off my makeup, YOU WILL BE SURPRISED BY THE RESULTS AT THE END OF THIS CLEANSING TEST! Keep on watching to find out if the Foreo Mini Luna actually cleanse like magic! Is it the best face cleanser brush ever?
Let me know what you think in the comments! xx
Foreo Luna Mini 2 Review Test
I will demonstrate using my favourite cleanser Senka Perfect Whip and the Foreo Luna Mini 2. On the left side of my face I will be using both Cleanser and Foreo while on the right side of my face, I'm only using the Senka Perfect Whip. After that, I will test out the cleansing effect by applying my makeup cleansing water/remover with a cotton pad on both sides of my face, to see if there's any makeup residue after the cleanse.
My Final Verdict – 4.5/5.0
As you can see from the test, the left side of my face where I use both cleanser and Foreo Luna Mini 2, has no makeup residue at all. While on the right side of my face where I use only the cleanser itself, has some makeup residue on the cotton pad. This definitely proves that the Foreo Luna Mini 2 cleanse thoroughly even when you have makeup on. I am so surprised to see this result and will definitely recommend the Foreo Luna Mini 2 to those who have sensitive skin as it is very gentle.
Other than the price (which may be quite high for some of you), I have nothing to complain about the device. You only need to charge it fully once, and it can last you for at least 6 months even if you use it every day. I got the Mini size instead of the regular Foreo device so it is travel-friendly. I love the fact that it is so gentle on the skin, unlike some cleansing device where you can actually feel the bristle moving around on the skin, this one uses vibration and super soft rubber-like bristle.
I hope you guys find this helpful and do remember to subscribe and support my new Youtube channel! Love y'all <3

We consider a dynamical system, possibly infinite dimensional or non-autonomous, with fast and slow time scales which is oscillatory with high frequencies in the fast directions. We first derive and justify the limit system of the slow variables. Assuming a steady state persists, we construct the stable, unstable, center-stable, center-unstable, and center manifolds of the steady state of a size of order $O(1)$ and give their leading order approximations. Finally, using these tools, we study the persistence of homoclinic solutions in this type of normally elliptic singular perturbation problems.

Answer: Deciding between a standard module and a class module is not a decision based on performance, but one of design. The main difference between the two is in the way that they handle data. A standard module stores only one copy of the data. A class module encapsulates the data within each instance of the class. That is, for each instance of the class, the data exists separately.
The other main difference is the scope of variables and procedures within the module. In general, any variables and procedures declared as Public within a standard module are visible anywhere in the project or external programs if the standard module is in a component. Variables and procedures declared as Public within a class module can only be seen through a reference to an instance of the class module.
The lifetime of data and procedures stored within a module is affected by which type of module is used. The lifetime of the data and procedures in a class module is defined by the lifetime of the object. So data and procedures are available only if a reference to the object exists. Data and procedures declared within standard modules are available for the lifetime of the program.
Therefore, to answer your question, if you are writing a function that you want available throughout the lifetime of the program and visible to all code in the application, then place the function within a standard module.

Ever since I participated in a debate on the death penalty in high school, in 1963, I have opposed it for all the reasons articulated by Sunil Dutta in "Kill the Death Penalty" [Feb. 26]. I appreciated his juxtaposing total homicides–and the appallingly high rate of unsolved homicides–with the number of executions, showing the arbitrary nature of the imposition of the death penalty.
PETER McKIMMIN
Franklin, Mass.
Death penalty opponents should focus on what it does to the soul of the nation that engages in the death penalty. Isn't it a mark of our failure that we even engage in such a barbaric practice? Isn't the most powerful democracy in the history of the world simply better than this?
Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.
Sunil Dutta states that the most moral and legal argument against capital punishment is that it leads to execution of the innocent. The simple answer to that is that only indisputably guilty criminals should be given capital sentences. No person of questionable guilt should be executed. In a just and humane society, the death penalty should be carried out as comfortably as possible with no animosity or emotion other than sorrow that the enormity of the criminality made it necessary.
Dutta's arguments against capital punishment are primarily criticisms of an error-prone judicial system. But they have nothing to do with capital punishment. It can stand on its own merits. Going to medically induced sleep is far less barbaric than spending the remaining years of life in a cramped prison cell. It is only fair that capital punishment should get a hearing on its own merits.
WILLIAM N. McNAIRN
Buffalo Grove, Ill.
For me, the most compelling arguments against the death penalty include a discussion of the history of punishment. Just a few hundred years ago punishments were unimaginably cruel and very public. As human society continues to evolve, I hope we will see crime for the social illness that it is and treat it as we should be treating drug addiction.
Life in prison without parole is not, as Sunil Dutta argues, "an effective alternative," and it is not "moral." Life without parole is not moral because it strips those sentenced to that fate of all hope and greatly reduces the chances that public interest lawyers will take the cases of those who maintain their innocence. Judges also do not give the cases the same care on postconviction appeals, because they need not worry about upholding a death sentence. And many corrections officers detest the sentence, because it takes away the carrot of possible freedom for good behavior and reduces the stick of additional punishment. Nor does life without parole reduce murder rates. It insures that murderers remain incarcerated long after they could hurt society again–at great expense to the public. Life sentences with the possibility of parole after long years in prison are far more effective and far more humane to both the convicted and those who guard them. Yes, life without parole makes it easier for jurors to oppose death. But maximum security prisons are often hellholes. Progressives should oppose both the death penalty and life without parole. Neither killing nor throwing away the key is the answer, especially when we know that at least some of those sentenced are innocent.

"Our junior officers in particular join the Navy to be warfighters, and we must provide them a culture where tactical excellence is developed and maintained throughout a career, and where tactical excellence is an explicit discriminator for promotion. Nothing else we can do will have a more positive impact on the Surface Warfare ethos."
Emerging threats and advances in Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) technology require a new approach to the development of warfighting expertise. Shipboard operators and tacticians must be properly trained to maximize the effectiveness of combat systems against emerging adversary technologies. Navy Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA), SM-6, the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) equipped E2-D, and the emergence of the F-35 fifth generation fighter aircraft demand a re-evaluation of how the Navy trains, maintains, and employ IAMD forces.
In late 2012, the Surface Warfare community began an initiative to develop expertise in IAMD. Navy Air and Missile Defense Command (NAMDC), in conjunction with Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC) and the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS), began developing a course intended to produce a cadre of IAMD subject matter experts to the Fleet. The pilot course graduated in November of 2013 with seven IAMD Weapons and Tactics Instructors (WTI), and Class 14-0010 delivered four WTI's to the Fleet on 16 May 2014.
The nineteen week IAMD WTI curriculum consists of seven weeks in advanced AEGIS and SSDS technical and tactical instruction (CIN: A-2F-0020), and is taught by ATRC staff. This course is designed provide a foundation of knowledge required by our cadre of tactical experts. It is followed by 12 weeks of subject matter expertise (SME) immersions led by NAMDC (CIN: A-121-0097). SME Immersions include C4I, space operations, Area of Responsibility (AoR) specific defense design analysis, electronic warfare, joint theater air and missile defense, ground based mid-course defense (GMD), joint ballistic missile defense planning and employment, and two weeks of Hawkeye WTI academics at Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) in Fallon, NV. At all stages of the curriculum, candidates are trained in advanced instructional techniques and are required to demonstrate proficiency in those techniques prior to graduation. The culminating event for the WTI candidates is training and evaluating prospective Commanding Officers and Department Heads during the week-long Air and Missile Defense Commander's Course.
As IAMD WTIs arrive on the waterfront, their influence will extend beyond the lifelines and will impact all levels of operations. LT Chris Murphy is a WTI student who is slated to CSCS Det Norfolk. Murphy most recently served as fire control officer (FCO) in USS RAMAGE (DDG 61), and completed his first division officer tour aboard USS JOHN S. MCCAIN (DDG-56). He served as AAW and BMD mission leads, and Air Warfare Coordinator and BMD Watch Officer during RAMAGE's recent Mediterranean deployment.
"On deployment I was exposed to the full range of IAMD missions, and realized the need for advanced tactical training and TTP development in the surface community," says Murphy. "I'm really excited to be a member of this WTI class, and am looking forward taking what I learn here to the Fleet. I'm glad to see the SWO community commit to advanced tactical training."
Class 14-0020 convened on 27 May 14 and will graduate on 03 October 14. Class 14-0020 is filled to capacity with twelve Surface Line officers (1110). Five candidates will form the initial cadre of Force Air Defense Officer (FADO) Instructors at Center for Surface Combat Systems waterfront detachments. Three candidates are expected to fill IAMD training positions at Afloat Training Group commands. Two candidates are assigned to SWOS awaiting Department Head training and one candidate is assigned to NAMDC. The remaining candidate will be assigned to the Naval Surface Warfare Development Command in San Diego, CA. These students represent a wide range of IAMD expertise and experiences that greatly benefit the interaction and learning in both the classroom and the laboratory. Fiscal Year 2015 course convenings are scheduled for October 2014, March 2015 and August 2015.
IAMD WTI candidates will be post-division Officers (SWOs and Surface LDO/CWOs) who have been recommended by their Commanding Officers, completed the application process, screened by Navy Personnel Command, and approved by NAMDC. Selectees who successfully complete the curriculum will be designated as an IAMD WTI and will receive the KB1 additional qualification designator. Pre-requisites for submitting and application are TS/SCI clearance, SWO qualification, Aegis and-or SSDS tactical shipboard experience, acceptance of the Junior SWO Critical Skills Bonus, Air Warfare Coordinator and-or Tactical Action Officer Qualification, and Commanding Officer's recommendation. Interested Officers should contact their detailers and-or NAMDC at email@example.com.
Each IAMD WTI will depart Dahlgren with a level of IAMD subject matter expertise that is unmatched. The IAMD WTI will develop a level of confidence that allows them to deliver a standardized level of advanced tactical training to junior and senior members of watch teams, including Commanding Officers. Ultimately, the IAMD WTI's will arrive in ships, staffs and training commands across the entire fleet and directly influence fleet IAMD readiness.
Commanding Officers are encouraged to promote this program with all members of the wardroom. The IAMD mission is complex and a significant investment in education, training, and experience is required to produce the warfighters of tomorrow.
"Like other specialties, the IAMD mission is so incredibly broad, deep and complex, that it takes a significant amount of education, training, and experience for any officer to master. This is a professional commitment to which young officers must commit and senior officers must foster. The Weapons Tactics Instructor program initiated by NAMDC is a step in the right direction."

Happy Birthday Timothy
Today is the birthday of Timothy Treadwell, grizzly bear expert, wildlife preservationist and documentary filmmaker. He would have been 53 years old. Treadwell lived unarmed among the bears in Alaska's Katmai National Park and Reserve for 13 summers and filmed his adventures in the wild during his final five seasons. Tragically, he and his girlfriend were killed by a rogue bear in October 2003.
Treadwell was obsessed with the natural world, and especially with grizzly bears and red foxes. But it was a magnificent obsession and he left a legacy that will stand the test of time. He was a true environmentalist and champion for wildlife and wrestled with what he knew to be an uneasy future for our planet.
He devoted years of his life to the study of grizzlies, knowing full well that he was engaged in a life and death occupation. His intention was to live a freer, fuller and more purposeful life even if that meant living a shorter life. Unfortunately, he paid the ultimate price but his death was not in vain. His many important findings will help environmentalists preserve wild habitat and protect wildlife, just as Treadwell wanted.
Though I have watched The Grizzly Man Diaries (actually, I study them) many times over, I have yet to grow tired of them. Each viewing brings new insight into Treadwell, his fantastic sense of humor and eloquent writing. He had many idiosyncrasies and one that I am particularly fond of was his habit of repeating a sentence three times if he was very excited or upset. I feel a kinship with this man and wish I had been fortunate enough to meet him. The fact that he cherished his freedom resonates deeply with me.
To learn more about Treadwell and the incredible work he did, I recommend The Grizzly Man Diaries, which often airs on Animal Planet and Planet Green as well as Grizzly Man, a documentary by Werner Herzog. Though Herzog's portrayal of Treadwell is too dark, it's still a compelling film and well worth watching. And, while it's impossible to watch The Diaries (8 episodes in all) or the documentary film without a growing sense of impending doom, this somehow underscores the significance of Treadwell's great work.
If Treadwell were still alive, the world would be a better place and not just for grizzly bears and red foxes. His poignant, tender and protective feelings for Timmy the Fox and his other wild brethren, his celebratory songs and boyish laughter will live on. He continues to be one of my heroes in a world where heroes are harder to find.
May he rest in peace.

Into the Woods
The woods are greening up ─ and fast. The rate of growth is about three weeks ahead of schedule with lilacs ready to bloom any day now (they normally bloom here around mid-May). All this accelerated growth has been accompanied by sky-high pollen levels, but cooler weather has brought a much needed respite for the allergy-afflicted, myself included. For me, there is no better tonic than a walk in the woods.

Faithful Writing Companion
Some of us who always wanted children but were not lucky enough to have them sometimes get lucky in other ways. When my Maine Coon cat kitten Rachmaninoff came along he turned out to be very much like the little boy I always wanted. He liked to stay out all day and play, he had a habit of bringing snakes and frogs and toads into the house, and he loved to get muddy. He came into my life and filled an empty place, and then he filled it to overflowing.
I have been fortunate to share my life with many animals, but the bond I had with this particular cat was incredibly strong from the very beginning. It was as though we had known each other in a past life.
Some people cannot possibly understand that a person can feel this way about a cat, or a dog, or any animal for that matter. However, I have since discovered that many others can and do.
Rock's life force was ebbing around this time last year and I knew it. My little boy had become a tired and sick old man, and I had grown to love him even more.
Now I try to remember him as healthy and happy. He was so sweet natured and dog-like (the bowl in the photo was his preferred dinner bowl), and he was my faithful writing companion. Though I have two sister cats now, the chair where he sat while I wrote remains empty.
It has been nearly ten months since Rock died and, though I have tried several times, I still cannot bring myself to remove his collar from beneath my pillow. I miss him so much.

Plant a tree for Earth Day
I was just a kid when the first Earth Day was celebrated 40 years ago, but I remember the nascent ecology movement well. In fact, it made an indelible impression on me and has had a profound influence on nearly every aspect of my life.
I choose to live on land completely surrounded by trees. I leave many dead and dying trees standing to provide homes for bats, Northern Flickers, Downy Woodpeckers and other wildlife. It pains me to see majestic and mature trees cut down for "home improvement" projects, and I regard it as a selfish act that deprives future generations of something we have had the great privilege to enjoy. Trees, like most things, live as long as they're permitted to live. More often than not in the suburb where I live their deaths are unnecessarily premature.
Trees may be the ultimate Earth Day mascot. Besides acting as the lungs of our planet and providing habitat for wildlife, trees reduce noise, provide shade (as global warming progresses their role as shade givers will become essential), beauty and privacy. Plant a tree today and you plant the future ─ doing so is an act of faith.
According to the National Arbor Day Foundation the Eastern Redbud, first cultivated in 1811, is native to North America and Canada with cousins in Europe and Asia. The Spaniards noted Redbuds and made distinctions between the New World species and their cousins in the Mediterranean region in 1571. George Washington reported in his diary on many occasions about the beauty of the tree and spent many hours in his garden transplanting seedlings obtained from the nearby forest.
According to the Peterson Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants, the flowerbuds can be pickled and the flowers added to salads. The buds, flowers and tender young pods can be sauteed in butter for 10 minutes.

Delicate and Fine
and the letter that you sent.
I was so straight back then
now I'm twisted and I'm bent.
The blossoms in the trees
they're so delicate and fine,
but when they fall from the branch
they just wither down in time.

text: By Scott Waltman American News Writer A Bath man convicted of assaulting two law enforcers wants his sentenced reduced. Michael R. Larson, 25, was found guilty at a 2005 jury trial of two counts of aggravated assault. Each is a felony punishable by as much as 15 years in state prison and a $15,000 fine. He was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison on each count, and the terms must run consecutively. Wednesday, Larson's attorney, Al Arndt, said that Larson now takes responsibility for his actions and would like a lesser sentence. Larson shouldn't be in his 40s before he's given a chance for parole, Arndt said.

I guess I can try to write a really letter to all of you now. I guess I may wanna write a letter to the world. Yeah, I guess this are the perfect words for my intention.
I`m staying in front of a blank page and I am thinking that like many of you, I am a girl with some dreams. I am a girl with imperfections, a girl who wears glasses because she stayed too much in the books world, a girl who listen music because she doesn`t wanna feel alone, a girl who have friends only they need her but in the same time a girl who have to most amazing people in her life: my mom, my brothers and the few true friends. And I`m so lucky to have them near me. Also I am a girl who likes to help. A lot. I love to make people happy even if sometimes I don`t even know them so well, I just love being happy and making someone happy. Yeah, this is me, or at least what I think of me.
And this girl, decide that she can do something about the world she lives in, because she know that she can. So, let me start my letter.
Dear world,
It`s me, Allee again. Thank you for being so nice for me and teaching me how to make the good choices, thank you for showing me every day how blessed I am, thank you for teaching me how to see the beauty under all the imperfection. Thank you for knowing what I need and when I need something. God knew how to make you full of wonders.
Every time I feel like I need more than I have it just happens to be reminded that are people there who have less than me. Every time I feel like I`m not loved enough some terrifying news about beaten children reminds me that I have more love than them. Every time I feel like something is wrong with my life, you, world, remind me that I have more than almost half of the globe.
It is amazing how I can see in you all the life lesson I need. On the same newspaper page I can see some famous star spending their money and near some child who just died because he didn`t have what to eat. On the same page I can see some famous romance and near a not so romantic girl being forced to marry or being sold by her own family. On the same page I can see how many people are interested in how purple someone hair is and how no one cares about some homeless child.
It is almost painful to read that we live in a new world with human rights, to even majoring in this at University and in the same time knowing that the rules of the world didn`t change, only how people see them did.
Maybe, dear world, you won`t understand this letter but I hope you`ll find it true `cause I feel like you become a shallow one, that you only care about superficial things like appereance and not about human feelings. And sadly, I know that I am guilty of this too. No matter how hard I try to be different sometimes I am just a shallow one who reads gossip, who doesn`t care and who doesn`t understand.
I am sure my letter will reach only 0,00001 % of you, dear world, but I hope the ones who read this letter will understand that we can only start changing if we start with us .
So, world, leave the famous ones live their life. I can assure you their fans will be happy if you only talk about their successes and every single fact about their life. Focus on what makes you happy more than money because sometimes you will succeed in finding your happiness but you`ll never have enough money to be pleased. Stop being so selfish and find people who love staying near you, love laughing with you and let the network life take a break. You will be surprised.
Connection can be made with words outside the internet too, it worked so well before I can assure you it still does.
I know that the way you will get to this letter of mine it will be on internet too, and this will make me shallow too but I`m sorry for this. I only want to use the power of internet for sharing my heart with the ones who care enough to read.
In the end, dear world, I hope you`ll write me back, telling what do you think about my observations and letting me know if I`m a freak or not.
With love, Allee
