Choujuu Sentai Liveman (超獣戦隊ライブマン Chōjū Sentai Raibuman?, [Note 1]) is the twelfth entry of Toei Company's Super Sentai television series. The last Super Sentai title of the Shōwa period, it aired on TV Asahi from February 26, 1988 to February 17, 1989. It is the first Sentai with three members at the start, with two others joining up later in the series. In addition, it was also the first series to have animal-themed mecha. Its international English title as listed by Toei is simply Liveman.[1] The series was broadcast in France as Bioman 3, being marketed as the direct sequels to Choudenshi Bioman and Bioman 2 (Hikari Sentai Maskman).
Red Falcon
Yusuke Amamiya (天宮 勇介 Amamiya Yūsuke?)/Red Falcon (レッドファルコン Reddo Farukon?): A poor student at Academia, but a strong leader and quick at thinking under pressure. He is a brave hard worker and enjoys rock music and work outs. Initially starts as a hot-headed and sarcastic rebel, but grows into the role of dependable leader as the series progresses. Yusuke was once in love with Rui Senda, but she did not return his love. He was good friends with Kenji during their first year or so at Academia until things went sour between them once Kenji started down a dark path. In the 2001 Sentai direct-to-DVD crossover film Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai, Yusuke is found visiting the graves of Takuji Yano, Rui Senda, Kenji Tsukigara, and Mari Aikawa. He briefly dueled Gaku Washio (Gao Yellow) in a swordfight and then lectured Gaku on the many sword-wielding warriors of the Super Sentai franchise, and introduced the Gaorangers to all the 23 other Red Warriors. Interestingly, he performed his roll call twice in that special, one along with the Dream Sentai and Gaorangers and then again with the other Red Warriors.
Weapons: Falcon Sword (ファルコンソード Farukon Sōdo?), Falcon Saber (ファルコンセイバー Farukon Seibā?).

Monkey Mind Musings About Community
As the holidays become a distant memory and we get back to the reality of more typical regimes, I've been reflecting about the upcoming year.
Rather than making resolutions which my monkey mind doesn't always allow me to keep, I thought it might be an idea to focus on the community building work that continues to absorb so much of my energy. Here are five key learnings that have evolved for ensuring active, creative, and engaged communities. While they aren't resolutions, they hopefully will provide direction for those wanting to make…

According to the latest report from a research firm Mixpanel, the iOS 10 adoption rate has reached 48.16%. Even though the latest firmware version has overtaken iOS 9 as the operating system installed on most active devices, 47.79% of users still utilize the previous version on their devices.
Security Researchers Find New Security Flaw in iOS 10
A new security flaw in iOS 10 has been recently found by a firm called Elcomsoft.

According to Apple, iTunes 12.4.3 brings a long-awaited fix for the issue causing changes made in the playlists on other devices not appearing in iTunes on a computer. If you have a large music library and often use playlists, you should definitely update to 12.4.3.

Top 10 Stories of the Week
It is Sunday today, which means it's high time I told you about the most interesting posts of the last couple of days.

Ten years after the publication of ''A Nation At Risk,'' public education has made many changes and some improvements. By calling attention to perceived problems within American education, the report heightened public interest and raised the importance of public education in the political debate. Unfortunately, the premise of the report, I believe, is flawed.
The thesis of the report is that by allowing educational standards to drop, the nation was placing itself in an untenable economic situation. While I strongly agree that the public school system is the key to U.S. eco- nomic competitiveness, it was not the decline in standards that was the problem, but rather education's inability to adjust to an information age.
The committee which wrote ''A Nation At Risk'' (composed, I must add, of very able people) failed to see that improving the current system was not the answer -- rather the means to educational improvement would be a different system to address the needs of students who must adjust to an information age.

Encode Quotes
This pattern is not merely about new applications. It's about a revolution in how we create, share and refine anything that can be digitally encoded--be it news and information, artistic forms, scientific breakthroughs, personal communications, economic transactions, and, yes, even software. This is not Web 2.0. It's World 2.0. - Gary Flake
The increasing demand for smart media reflects the growing acceptance of RFID applications in business today. In all these applications, it is critical that smart media transmit data reliably. Zebra's strategy is to offer a broad selection of high quality, tested media, so that customers can rely on us to not only provide reliable and robust printer/encoder hardware, but also equally dependable smart media that matches the performance of our hardware. - Bob Cornick
Say the FPGA chip counted 180 steps between encoder increments. Dividing 180 by four yields 45, so between the next two decoder valve changes, we waited 45 cycles and incremented a 2-bit count, waited another 45 cycles and incremented the count again, and so on. We reset the 2-bit counter and performed the division again after each encoder increment to keep the piston synchronized with any change in the valve's speed. - Eric Lyness
Of the more than 5,500 mammals living today, dogs are arguably the most remarkable. The incredible physical and behavioral diversity of dogs -- from Chihuahuas to Great Danes -- is encoded in their genomes. It can uniquely help us understand embryonic development, neurobiology, human disease and the basis of evolution. - Eric Lander

Syphilis and hair loss
Hair loss can happen to people infected with syphilis. It usually occurs once the patient enters the second stage of syphilis.
At first, there will be rashes and lesions that. Then, these rashes can spread up to the scalp and result to inflammations on the hair follicles. This can trigger itchiness and a patient will have a hard time controlling the urge to scratch out the hairs. These syphilis rashes can also damage hair follicles and affect the stability of the hair shafts, and thus leads to hair loss.
Hair loss due to syphilis appears as patches and has no particular pattern. The moment you notice something like this happening to you, you have to get tested for syphilis right away.
Diagnosis and treatment
Syphilis can be diagnosed by examining your bodily fluid sample. If you are indeed positive, you will be prescribed antibiotic treatment to fight off the infection.
Once you start the treatment, the damaged hair follicles will be able to recover and those bald hair patches will start growing back hair. But, if the damage to the hair follicles is so extreme, stronger treatment has to be administered for their recovery.
Common treatments for hair loss as a result of syphilis include drugs like finasteride and minoxidil. These medications FDA approved and have been proven to be effective. They come in the form of topical creams and capsules, so there really is no need to undergo surgery.
Test for syphilis at the earliest chance to avoid hair loss. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are very important to minimize the damages syphilis can cause.

Michael Whaite, an artist for the British comedy quiz show QI (Quite Interesting), has created 13 animals gifs that highlight some fascinating and bizarre facts about animals. The gifs are created in a child-like, easy-to-understand fashion, making the facts seem that much more befuddling that they are true.
One animal gif highlights that a domestic cat can outrun the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, while another makes mention of the fact that if a shark is flipped over so its stomach is facing upwards, it goes into a trance.
Many of the questions asked on QI are extremely obscure, lessening the likelihood that a participant will get the answer right. In anticipation, QI awards points to participants if they get an answer right, but also on how interesting their answers are regardless of whether they relate to the original question.

I've tried the usual things like playing only when they are out of the house...putting a pillow case down my tuba or playing trombone with the 'practice mute that came with it when purchased (the said practice mute was a moot point of the sellers description) only it reduces volume by about a quarter of unmuted volume.....makes more blowing resistance.....and makes playing any of the higher notes near on impossible. I would like to have the occasional tootle in the evenings......and still remain on friendly terms with the neighbours.

Does the pursuit of happiness justify cheating, lying and taking advantage of your partner?
I would not be happy knowing that, to be happy, I hurt someone else... My conscience would haunt me if I did any of the above. What if I was the one being hurt? Would I be OK if someone did that to me? I feel that those that justify any mean to pursue their happiness are incapable of empathy, superficial and cynic.

It was modelled after the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London.

With the holiday season upon us, ensure a safe and trouble-free holiday road trip by inspecting your family sleigh using Maplewood Meineke's Road Trip Checklist before you hit the road. If you're unusure how to do-it-yourself, bring it to Maplewood Meineke. With every Preferred Oil Change we will check many of these things for free, plus, if you give us your email with the Preferred Oil Change you receive 4 Months FREE Roadside Assistance! Come in today and get yourself road ready for the holidays.
Tires: Check tire pressure and tread wear. Improperly inflated tires can cause unsafe handling and braking. Also consider all season snow tires if you're likely to encounter a winter storm on your travels.
Battery: At 0° F, your battery has only half of the cranking power it has at 80 degrees. And all batteries lose strength as they age, so don't take any chances. Ensure the battery cable connections are tight, and the terminals are free from corrosion. If the battery is more than 3 years old, it's a good idea to have it tested to determine how much life it has left. We will check yours for free & recommend a new battery if it need replacing.
Fluids: Checking these six fluid levels before leaving home for the holidays can save you stress and repair bills. In no particular order, check the:
- windshield wiper fluid.
- oil level
- transmission fluid
- car's coolant (antifreeze) level
- brake fluid
- power-steering fluid
Belts and Hoses: Also take a look at the belts and hoses and look for any signs of cracking. A failure there can leave you stranded without warning.
Wiper Blades: Eventually, the rubber blades of your windshield wipers will begin to degrade. When that happens, it's time for new ones. Don't forget the rear wiper blade for wagons, minivans and SUVs. Cleaning your glass and side mirrors before traveling is also wise. Good visibility improves safety.
Lights: With a friend, walk around your vehicle and be sure your headlights, high beams, front parking lamps and front turn signals, taillights and rear turn signals, brake lights (including center-mounted brake light), reverse lights and license plate lights are all functional.
Brake Inspection: Brakes are essential to safety, so it's wise to be sure they're in good condition. With every Preferred Oil Change will we check your brakes for free.
Prepare an emergency kit: Keep a well-stocked emergency kit inside the vehicle. This kit should include: a flashlight, blanket, first aid supplies, common tools and emergency flares, cell phone and charger, jumper cables, extra water and snacks. Be sure to have a spare tire on hand as well as a tire jack.
Call us at 973-762-2525 or come in today to look over your car & we can have you ready for your holidays road trip!

Read Luke 2:1–17.
Our Savior, Jesus, today is your day. We cannot sing enough carols, hymns, and songs of praise! The angels spoke words of awestruck praise, amazed at your love and the ways you were demonstrating that love. A Savior, born on earth, God become man, lying in a manger in Bethlehem! Who could comprehend it? God in man, leaving the glory of heaven to rescue his rebellious human creatures from sin's curse!
Lord Jesus, you came to earth to make us worthy to live in heaven, to find eternal joy in your presence. Lord, it overwhelms us. It moves us to tears that you could love us that much!
Holy Spirit, we thank you for breathing peace and comfort into our hearts through faith in Jesus. Teach us to celebrate Christmas truly, authentically, as we reach out to others with your own unselfish love.
Hallelujah, Christ is born! Hallelujah! We pray in our blessed Savior's name. Amen.
Editor's note: This prayer was written by faithful pastor Walter E. Schuette, who has since gone to be with the Lord.

Love Notes
Linda was absolutely superb! Linda was so nice and easy to work with and had all her bases covered. It's the little details where she shines: from the pre-wedding consultation, to the big day itself, to the personalized notes included in our photo package, Linda brings it all. Her photos are absolutely incredible and completely captured our wedding and special day! We cannot recommend Awesomesauce Photography enough! - Heather and Kevin
On our wedding day, Linda
literally stopped traffic to get a
stunning photo of me in my
wedding dress! We admired that
she was willing to take risks to
capture the special moments of
our day, while still remaining
laid back and fun to work with.
Her work is beautiful, unique
and full of personality. We are
very happy with our decision to
work with Linda and will
definitely be calling her again as
we reach more milestones!"
– Jenna and Dave
Linda, we do not have the words
to express our gratitude for the
PHENOMENAL photos of our
wedding that you created.
THANK YOU!!! You captured the
essence of our wedding, and the
ENERGY of our wedding party and our guests! We are
eternally grateful. They were
intimate and beautiful and very
"us". We could NOT be
–Claire and Kevin
From our engagement pictures in
Richmond, to our destination
wedding in Punta Cana, Linda was
there every step of the way. She is
creative, awesome to work with,
and flexible. Linda's pictures are
well planned and she delivers
perfection. If you want it done
right, she is your only choice.
- Erica and Josh
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her! She is the best photographer we met with,
and captures the most amazing photos! She is a STEAL at her price, and
she will make sure she has everything you thought you needed for shots
plus some. She gets the artistic shots, the posed shots, and the candid
shots. She is absolutely amazing! – Hillary and Brett
Linda is very professional,
organized and timely…but also
brings a laid back and fun vibe to
all interactions. She will help you
plan the entire wedding day to
maximize the best pictures. As
much as you plan together, she
also surprises you with great
candids that really capture the
emotion of the day. My pictures
help me relive my day and I
couldn't be happier!
- Kaylan and Bryan
We feel so blessed Linda was able
to shoot our wedding. She was
completely invested in capturing
every detail at every angle from start
to finish – even if she had to lie on
the ground, deal with a fussy bride,
or sweat her butt off!!! Her
photographs captured everything;
from the intricate details we spent
years planning, to all the special
moments and heart felt facial
expressions that made our day
special to us! There are no words for
how much I love you pictures Linda!
- Brittney and Billy
It was such a pleasure to have
Linda take our engagement and
wedding photos. She came to
our shoot with fantastic ideas
but always made sure we were
comfortable and our thoughts
were heard. She was extremely
professional and did a fantastic
job herding our extending
family on the wedding day as
well. She made a tough job look
like a breeze and the pictures
were GREAT! We would highly
recommend Linda for any of
your photography needs.
- Derrick and Grace
Having Linda as our
photographer was like
having a best friend with
me all day on the day of
my wedding. She was
always at the right place at
the right time with exactly
what we needed. Our
pictures are a perfect mix
of memories and art. Every
little detail that I put into
planning was captured in a
shot worth framing.
– Shelby and Andy
Linda is great to work with. As a fellow vendor, she makes everyone's
job easier by the way she works well with others. She's extremely
talented, very considerate, and I always look forward to working with
Linda.- Ivan, Alzuro Video Production

It is 11:30 pm and I should be sleeping but yet again I am wide awake thinking about 100 different things at the same time.
I used to have an online diary many moons ago but stopped using it as I honestly thought that it was a waste of time after a while. Now I know that I was wrong as I have soo many things running through my head and with no one around who can relate or understand, I needed to get it out somehow.
The past year has been a huge roller coaster in every aspect, physically, mentally and emotionally. I moved to a new area to start afresh thinking it would help me. Leaving behind memories both good and bad, friends and moving further away from family.
The decision to move happened really quickly. During a roadtrip in the USA, I was sat next to Niagra Falls and it just popped into my head. Crazily enough the move was very quick indeed and I actually felt more happy during the planning phase, more than being anxious.
I chose an area which I was sort of familiar with, basically an ex gf lived in the area and it seemed to be okay. House prices were not bad and I made a plan to pay off the mortgage faster. Something else was also pulling me to the area but I had no idea what that was at the time. Finding a place only took a week. I stumbled across this particular property by mistake. It was over the budget I set but I arranged a viewing. As soon as I walked into the place I knew it was the one and placed an offer there and then which was accepted. Why it was the one, I had no idea at the time.
Move in was great, worked almost like a military operation albeit an hour behind. Moving was not stressful for me at all. I was in my element, making sure all services were set up the same day I moved in as well as lots of bits and pieces being delivered on time. Had a close friend/old flatmate come over after work to help me unpack. We completed the unpacking by the end of the weekend which was great.
I met my neighbours who seemed nice. At the time I didnt really notice them as much as I was focused on unpacking and making sure my cat was okay as it was her first move.
However over time I started talking to the neighbour over the fence. It made me laugh at first, something like out of the 80's. In my last place I hardly spoke to any of my neighbours. I suppose living in a busy built up area, people do not really have time for each other. It was summer time and we would spend hours chatting away about any and everything. She was probably easier to talk to because she did like to drink, bless she was soo funny.
What was crazy is that we became very close within a very short period of time. I felt that I could tell her things and she would listen. It was also weird initially that her husband didnt have an issue with me talking to his wife all night long. Turns out he was over the moon as it meant that he could play video games and not have to worry about sharing the TV or having to talk to her.
Moving to an area of which I knew no one, well I knew my ex gf but we had not seen or spoken to each other for years, I thought was going to be a tad daunting. To my surprise, I felt at ease very quickly which I put down to my neighbours friendliness and interactions. It really did help me, much more than the broken promises of 'friends' who said that they were going to visit and then cancelled at the last minute. You certainly realise who your friends are when you make a big change in your life. I wasnt very surprised to be honest, just really disappointed.
I suppose that it is partly my fault, as I have spent all my life helping others and not thinking about myself. Thinking about how the people I have helped has been uplifting and rewarding in soo many ways. But I knew that I would only be a blip in their lives, helping them in times of need and letting them flourish and move on. It has put a great smile on my face to see them live happier lives now. I rarely stay in contact with those I have helped now as I want them to move on rather then linking me to a dark time of there lives.
Rarely do or have I opened myself up to someone. Being a helper, I am not used too receiving help myself.

On Wednesday night, the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission threw a little thank-you party for members of an advisory committee.
It was at the clubhouse at Bella Collina, the swanky subdivision that is the poster child for everything that went wrong in the land boom-and-bust in Lake County. The most egregious property-flipping started there, and the amount of delinquent taxes on lots in the upscale Montverde development is outrageous.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Tuesday it is transferring 169 missionaries serving in Nicaragua because of "growing political instability" in the country.
Thirty-seven missionaries from the Nicaragua Managua North Mission and 20 from the Nicaragua South Mission, all of whom were close to the end of their missionary service, will return home, while 112 other missionaries will be temporarily reassigned to other missionary zones in North America, South America and the Caribbean, LDS Church spokesman Daniel Woodruff said in a statement.
Another 158 missionaries are being moved to safer areas in Nicaragua, the church added.
"The church will continue to closely monitor conditions and developments in Nicaragua. We pray for the people there as they navigate this difficult time in their country," Woodruff said in the statement.
Tuesday marked the latest in large groups missionaries being reassigned in recent history.
In October 2017, the LDS Church moved 69 of its missionaries out of Madagascar because of a plague outbreak. More than 150 missionaries were evacuated out of Puerto Rico in September 2017 because of hurricane damage in the U.S. territory, as well. Some missionaries returned to the island in December.
In addition, 67 missionaries were transferred out of Ukraine in 2014 after "ongoing uncertainty" in the country at the time.

The Museum and Fort Hayes are worth visiting as they afford visitors insight into Ascension's abundant heritage. There are also many fantastic walks to do on the Island and a guide can be bought from the Conservation Office. Ascension is great for scuba diving and snorkelling with wrecks and a huge variety of marine life found in the waters surrounding the Island. Other sports on offer include fishing and golf. The infamous One Boat Golf Club even held the title of the "World's Worst Golf Course" for a few years!
Additional information on activities and sights can be found on the Ascension Island Government What to See and What to Do pages. A guide can also be bought from the AIG Conservation Department, Heritage Museum and Obsidian Hotel.

Decisions to be made are the size of each room, the number of rooms and the number of floors to be built. Will there be a basement or a fireplace, and where is the house going to sit on the lot. You could have a front yard or the house could be in the front of the lot with a yard in the back.
There are some things to consider when creating plans for your home. There are two situations that call for plans or blue prints, either you are building a new home or decorating your present home. The types of plans required for either situation will vary depending on the extent of your project.

This week's Noice-ities is a piece of cake. I drove out west to become Eliza's godmother.
Henceforth known as her Fairygodmother:
How lucky am I to get to be fairygodmother to the most adorable kid I know (except her two big sisters, of course).
Now I just have to learn how to be a Fairygodmother. I left a set of fairy wings on the farm for her to wear, so that's a good start, right?

This article on The Atlantic and this New York Times one give a grim look of Venezuela today:
- Children are being robbed.
- Courts are closed on most days.
- Lufthansa just announced that it's cancelling all flights to the country.
- Lack of medicines is causing people with curable illnesses like epilepsy to die.
- Entrepreneurs are being threatened with jail because of toilet paper.
- The government says it can no longer fund school lunch programs.
- Burglars have assaulted 11 times in the last year the university where all the country's response to tropical epidemics comes from leaving them with no equipment to do anything.
- Low oil prices (the country's main export).
- Oh, and there is a drought on a country with crumbling water infrastructure and one of the worst Zika epidemics.
The article's reasons for how things got this bad? Corruption and Chavism mixed with major bad decisions and bad luck. Example of bad decision making: the government fixed prices on basic goods with the goal of ensuring that everyone would have access to them. Sounds reasonable but the problem is that once you fix prices if costs go up for the producers they will stop those basic goods and you won't be able to buy them anywhere.

Mumbai, Apr 2 (PTI) Multiplex operator Miraj Cinemas plans to add 35 new screens to its network by October this year taking the total count to 100, a top company official said.
"We have a target to have 100 screens by October this year. By 2020, we want to reach 200 screens. We will be adding on an average 30-35 screens every year," Miraj Cinemas Managing Director Amit Sharma told PTI here.
At present, the company operates 65 screens.
He also added that the company invests Rs 1.5-2 crore to set up a screen. Of the 100 screens, which the company aims to have by October, Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad would have 50 screens and the rest will be in the non-metros.
The company has infused close to Rs 100 crore so far and for the next 100 screens the total investment might scale up to Rs 150-200 crore, Sharma said.
Started in 2012, Miraj Cinemas operates 65 screens in 25 multiplexes across the country at present.
It is expecting to clock a revenue of Rs 125 crore in financial year 2016-17 and in the current fiscal, it is aiming to touch Rs 200 crore.
Online ticket sales for the company has seen a spike post demonetisation accounting for almost 45-50 per cent of the total ticket sales from 30 per cent earlier.
Miraj Cinemas enjoys an occupancy rate of 28-30 per cent at present, while the food and beverages account for 23 per cent of topline. Advertising revenue contributes around 7.5-8 per cent at present, which the company aims to increase to 10-12 per cent in the next couple of years.
The company, which has had an organic growth so far, is also eyeing acquisitions, once it reaches the 100 screen mark.
"We want to have a base of at least 100 screens before we go inorganic," Sharma said.
With few malls being developed due to real estate slow down, the multiplex operators are converting the single screen theatres into multiple screens.
"Single screen conversion is because of less supply of real estate for multiplexes. Malls are not there and that is one of the reason single screen conversion has started," he said. PTI DS ARS ADI ABI ABI

NONREPAIRABLE MOTOR VEHICLE: A "nonrepairable motor vehicle" is a motor vehicle that: is damaged, wrecked, or burned to the extent that the only residual value of the vehicle is as a source of parts or scrap metal; or comes into this state under a title or other ownership document that indicates that the vehicle is nonrepairable, junked, or for parts or dismantling only.

Hello All,
We had a wonderful weekend and can not say enough thanks to Hole in the Wall. I have attached some pictures and I can take you through them. Our camera battery died right at the Mother's day breakfast and for some reason the pictures are out of order. I thought I was more digital inclined, but I guess not.
The first picture is coming into camp. The white building on the right is the administration building. We stopped their first and were greeted by Beth. Beth was our 'Family Pal' for the weekend and specifically there to take care of Tom for us. She was awesome and so good with Tom. He took right to her. It was kind of different to have someone carry your baby around while you had time to run after the boys and just relax. We also met Eric, another 'Family Pal' for us. He was great with the boys and Colby really took to him. The big building is the dining Hall. Greg and I can both say the food was great. Even though you have a camp style feel to the whole place, the food tasted homemade. The next pictures are of Sunday morning, Mother's Day. The councilors decorated the dining hall and all the kids gave their moms presents. We sang songs and all the Mother's received roses. This was definitely one of the best Mother's Day I have ever had, especially with Tom this year. J
Let's back up to Friday night. We had dinner and then headed over to the bon fire. The gang introduced themselves and Bruce kicked off the night with flame throwing. You can see Colby enjoyed the Smores. (Eric is behind them) We stayed in LuLu's Lodge. It had the ski lodge feel but very clean and warm feeling. We had two rooms (2 bunks in each) with a joining bathroom/shower. You can see the boys getting ready for bed. On Saturday morning Beth was waiting for us in the Lounge area of the Lodge. She was ready to take the boys to the gym before breakfast. The gym was huge and a great place for all the kids to hang out. Saturday they had a bunch of activities for the families to do. We headed over to the boat dock for some fishing and you can see Colby caught a fish, although he refused to 'kiss the fish'. We stopped in at the huge tree house and then the boys went to woodworking and each made an Army tank. After lunch Greg and I had time to ourselves. Beth and Eric played with the boys back at the lodge while Greg and I walked around the lake. We really enjoyed the time to ourselves and catching up with each other. After rest time we headed over to the rock climbing wall. We could not convince Colby to try, but they both decided to be spotters for us. The zip line was not working, so Greg and I repelled down the wall. The camp had stage night after dinner. The kids were so cute and most of them, not shy at all. Colby eventually got up and played the drums for the crowd. Sunday we were up bright and early and of course Beth was waiting for us. She took the boys (in the limo as they call it) to the gym, while Greg and I sadly packed up. After breakfast we headed back down to the boat dock for more fishing. And wouldn't you know it, Colby caught the first fish of the day. He was so excited. The we headed over to Archery. The boys really loved it and I think Greg is getting some ideas for home. We ended the day after lunch and thanking our family pals.
We (I am sure greg agrees) can not put into words how wonderful this place was. The staff really made you feel at home and such a positive vibe throughout the place. We hope Colby will go to camp to next year, you have to be 7. Enjoy the pictures and we hope EVERYONE had a wonderful Mother's Day. Take care.
Nick is an amazing 6 year old fighting T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was diagnosed at 4 years old on Oct. 15, 2008 and here is the story of his courageous battle. This day changed our lives forever. Nick seemed very healthy at the time and the only signs we noticed were swollen lymph nodes on his neck. At first, we thought it could be a virus, but after 2 rounds of blood tests, the doctors confirmed our worst fear, cancer. This site is to show how strong our little boy is.

He has spent two years researching Grant's life in order to portray the part of the General at many festivals and historical Civil War re-enactments throughout Ohio.
He recently showed us a photo taken of him in character.
Unfortunately the photo brings his character to the 21st century.
So Norman took on the task of putting Grant back into his own century. Norm illustrated Ken's Grant with a look of a nineteenth century painting. Norm researched painting techniques and color palettes used during that time period and came up with the painting below.
Norm also took the liberty of redesigning the photo for a more historical flavor with that aged looked of being stored in someone's attic after being passed down from one generation to another.
It was fun to do as well as a different kind of challenge. Ken's Grant is now back in the nineteenth century where he belongs.

I just finished editing Kai & Lauren's G2KU session images. What a blast it was spending time with this couple. We met at their wedding venue Village Baptist Church to scout before the ceremony and I must say .. It's fabulous! Recently redecorated with awesome vantage points to capture the most amazing wedding. I hope the A/C works for this August wedding 'cause it's going to be one to be remembered. Afterwards we ventured to Norman for a few shots with a casual break at Starbucks to fill up on caffeine. Well, I did anyway. They had some fru-fru cold drink fraps something. Then we spend time at Celebration station playing putt-putt. It was so funny watching them act casual, but I could seriously see these two getting into a little "friendly" competition! I think Lauren won, but Kai ~ may~ have let a few strokes slide by.
The afternoon went by so fast between a few shots, many giggles and lots of laughs. Can't wait for the wedding, but I'm still thinking of a bowling night soon with all my wonderful brides. Their smiles makes my heart leap with joy. I hope we captured a few of those moments.
Here's a little video of the session. Enjoy!

The disappearance of thousands of birds from an active nest colony at Seahorse Key has been reported by numerous professional and amateur media outlets (including one that qualifies as international). Some of these reports are factual and some are more speculative, but nearly all of them were produced by people who don't know much about Seahorse Key or about natural history. So I thought I'd bring you a few facts, a little context, and a possible solution to the mystery.
To begin with, there are two parts to this story: (1.) the birds, and (2.) the snakes. We'll start with the birds.
According to Vic Doig, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist with the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, Seahorse Key's breeding birds – Brown Pelicans, Double-crested Cormorants, White Ibises, and four species of herons and egrets – nested in normal numbers in 2014. Listed in order from most to least common (and these are estimates based on flight-line counts), these numbers were:
White Ibis: 3,000-5,000 nests
Double-crested Cormorant: 1,500-2,500
Snowy Egret: 600-1,200
Brown Pelican: 500-1,000
Great Egret: 400-800
Cattle Egret: 300-500
Tricolored Heron: 100-200 (fewer than previous years because the majority of the Tricoloreds moved over to Snake Key in 2014)
That's a total of 6,400 to 11,200 nests. In addition to these species, all of which had nested at Seahorse for years, Doig said there were 15-30 nests of Roseate Spoonbills and, he suspected, 5-8 nests of Reddish Egrets. Both species had expanded their ranges to the north from the Tampa Bay region during the two previous years.
The 2015 breeding season started out with a difference. According to Doig, the White Ibises – the most abundant nesting species on the island – "only showed up in the dozens; or maybe a hundred or so, rather than the thousands that normally show up. This may have been a precursor to the main abandonment, or completely unrelated. White Ibis, in general, are less faithful to nesting sites than the other species." Dr. Peter Frederick, a research professor in the University of Florida's Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, thinks that the ibis no-show was unconnected to the later abandonment. He wrote, "Ibises are highly nomadic in the southeast, and they rarely stick with any colony in large numbers for more than 10 years. The lack this year could be due as much to poor conditions here as to good conditions elsewhere. Ibises are generally driven to nest by food availability – we may have had food this year but my hunch is the forests were actually too deeply flooded for them to forage early in the season."
Anyway, all the other species were present, and except for the ibises everything seemed to be normal through the beginning of April.
The abandonment of the island by the rest of the birds happened very quickly, in the eight days between April 11th and April 18th (not in May, as you've read elsewhere). On April 20th Vic Doig reported in an email that the birds seemed to be gone, and five days later Dr. Frederick visited the island's main nesting site and confirmed it: "The Seahorse Key trip, in which we walked over large portions of Gardners Point, revealed no active nesting of any species aside from Ospreys on their platforms. Cormorants, pelicans, ibises, egrets, herons, spoonbills – all are gone. Vic had recorded very typical flight line counts only two weeks ago and I had heard that Larry Woodward may have seen evidence of nesting even more recently. We found nests that were falling apart with no eggs or chicks, and hundreds of eggs on the ground, nearly all of which had been opened by Fish Crows. The characteristic marks of avian egg puncture (shell edge pushed inwards, intact hemispheres of eggs) are easy to tell from raccoon marks (crushed eggs, teeth marks) and we only found one or two eggs that might have been handled by a raccoon. All of this could well have been scavenging rather than direct egg predation. We also saw the remains of up to 15 dead cormorants, five dead pelicans, two dead ibises, three dead black-crowned night herons, and one dead fish crow. We estimate that there must have been many more dead birds – we did not cover the entire island or the entirety of Gardners Point." You can read more of Dr. Frederick's April 25th email in this Alachua Audubon Society birding report.
Some of the dead birds were autopsied. In late June I inquired whether Dr. Frederick had heard the results and he replied that "both necropsy reports could find no consistent cause of death, which is not very surprising since they were given only bones and feathers. No other potential leads have come up either."
Where did the thousands of birds go, and why? The first half of the question we can answer in part. Some of the birds – fewer than half, but a large number – moved one and a half miles away to neighboring Snake Key. Here are the present numbers of nests at Snake Key, again estimated by flight-line counts, and again listed in order from the most common to the least:
Great Egret: 300-600 nests
Snowy Egret: 300-600
Tricolored Heron: 300-600
Double-crested Cormorant: 250-500
Brown Pelican: 200-400
Cattle Egret: 100-200
White Ibis: 50-100
That's a total of 1,500 to 3,000 nests, compared with a 2014 count of 6,400 to 11,200 on Seahorse Key. Percentage-wise, then, Snake Key has somewhere between 13% and 48% of the nests that were found on Seahorse Key last year.
In addition, according to Doig, the 15-30 pairs of Roseate Spoonbills that nested last year on Seahorse "all seem to have relocated successfully from Seahorse – [they] nest in one general wad." And of the 5-8 pairs of Reddish Egrets suspected to have nested at Seahorse last year, they have "confirmed 2 nests this summer at Snake Key."
So the nesting colony, though reduced in number, is largely intact. But what caused the nest abandonment at Seahorse Key? I've seen a number of rumors – military exercises, tourist helicopters, research drones, disruption of the food supply – and I've seen most of them dispelled. One question that most of these rumors can't answer is why the same thing that moved the birds off Seahorse Key didn't discourage them from nesting at Snake Key. University of Florida researchers think they have the answer, which is surprising enough that I'll wait to explain it in my next blog post.
So much for the birds. What about the snakes?
Seahorse Key is home to an estimated 600 Florida Cottonmouths, concentrated in the mangrove swamp at Gardners Point. Like all snakes, they can go for long periods of time without food. During a normal spring and summer they will gorge themselves on fish that fall from the nests of the pelicans, cormorants, herons, and egrets in the trees above. They'll also prey opportunistically on the Black Rats (AKA Roof Rats, Rattus rattus) that live on the island in fair numbers, but the rats are not abundant enough to sustain them all. Their survival is dependent on the waterbirds' nesting season.
So what happens to them if there is no nesting season? University of Florida herpetologists Coleman Sheehy and Mark Sandfoss have regularly sampled the cottonmouth population at Seahorse Key by walking the beach at evening and looking for cottonmouths coiled at the edge of the woods. In the past their count has averaged about 30 snakes. Presently it averages about 10, but whether the missing snakes are dead or just wandering in search of food is unknown. Sheehy has observed that those he encounters now are notably thinner, and he recently witnessed something he'd never seen before, one cottonmouth eating another.
The University of Florida's long-term cottonmouth study at Seahorse Key obviously depends on the snakes continuing to exist, so Dr. Lillywhite has contemplated going out with a cast net and catching fish to distribute at Gardners Point for the snakes to eat. This should keep them alive until next spring. But if the birds don't return to Seahorse next spring, he'll stop feeding the snakes and let nature take its course.
