Which will unravel the Republican Party faster: Donald Trump as its presidential candidate, or a contested convention that chooses someone else? That's what everyone is talking about. And everyone is wrong.
You've heard the predictions…
- If Trump is the candidate: He gets shellacked in the general election, tarnishes the GOP brand for a decade, and dooms Congressional and even state candidates who are on the ballot with him.
- If Trump isn't the candidate: Should Trump arrive in Cleveland in July without the necessary 1,237 delegates, the Republican establishment chooses someone else and infuriates at least a third of its base.
Both are bad. But not as bad as this.
Trump comes close
The GOP will be DOA for a generation if Trump loses to Hillary Clinton by less than Mitt Romney and John McCain lost to Barack Obama.
Let's break that down: In 2012, Obama crushed Romney. As U.S. News reported back then…
Obama got 51.1 percent of the popular vote to Mitt Romney's 47.2 percent, a four point margin. That's a wider margin than George W. Bush won by in 2004 (51-48). Ronald Reagan only reached 50.75 percent in 1980.
In 2008, it was even worse. Obama got 52.9 percent of the vote, while McCain got just 45.7 percent.
If Trump can lose by less than Romney and McCain, two things will surely happen…
- Trump will be the GOP's front-runner for 2020: He'll expose the GOP's strategy that only "moderates" are electable.
- Trump supporters will be even more pissed off: They'll believe the only reason Trump didn't close that smaller gap was the Republican establishment's early attacks and later ambivalence.
This is much worse than the other scenarios. Here's why.
Quick recovery vs. slow death
If Trump is the GOP nominee and loses in a historic landslide, even his most ardent supporters can't explain that away. A reluctant establishment? A biased media? Elitist conspiracy? A wide enough margin defies those excuses. And moderate Republicans get to say, "Told you so."
Yes, the GOP suffers now. Other Republican candidates get swept away in the landslide loss. But the Trump experiment ends so badly, few will have the heart (or stomach) for a repeat.
If a contested convention disses Trump and chooses, say, Marco Rubio or John Kasich, the GOP surely loses to Hillary Clinton in November. But Clinton is such an object of scorn to Republicans, they'll coalesce into a weakened but laser-focused opposition party. By 2020, old wounds will ache much less than the fresh pain of facing a fourth term for a Clinton.
If Trump loses by less than his predecessors, that's four more years of metaphysical infighting. The GOP's economic populists, social conservatives, and business moderates will each struggle for the soul and control of the party. The longer that lasts, the less likely they join forces ever again. They'll become strangers.
Thus, the death of the Republican Party won't be a bullet to the head. It'll be a stab in the gut, and a slow bleeding out.
As a bonus prediction…
If Hillary Clinton wins a second term, Chelsea Clinton will start positioning herself as a future president. If that happens, expect Canada to build a border wall — to keep all the Republicans from fleeing there.

I didn't really eat much since I didn't have much of an appetite. (It tends to happen everytime I'm in that bad time of the month if you get what I'm sayin' ..If not, nevermind!) I saw my little cousin whom I havn't seen in MONTHS. Even my other cousins havn't seen him in a long time so thankfully I took photos/videos of him to show them. Weee! There were sooo many ASIANS! (Well DUH! ..It's a CHINESE restaurant after all ..) But still! The whole place was packed and I saw loads more people standing on the stairs waiting for everyone else to finish eating so they can finally go in and eat. Awwww~ It's a shame that I eat so slow lol. My brother told me that my little cousin accidentally dropped his food on the floor, picked it up and left it on the table. We all go through it ;) Or maybe that's just us. Whilst waiting for everyone to order dessert, I was watching him play a game on his phone. Then ..Tada! My chocolate ice cream has arrived! As I breathed in, the cocoa powder went down my throat and I choked/coughed for abit XD I'm fine now but thinking back ..That was hella funny! Besides that, the ice cream was also "nommy!" Oh Oh! The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is on TV! Imma go watch it now. Catch you guys next time!

Those of you waiting to Jailbreak your iPad 2... looks like you can keep waiting for now as, according to the Dev Team's updated this morning, the search for an exploit continues!
The iPad2 jailbreak remains under development. As you may know, the original exploit @comex developed in the first week of the iPad2 release was mysteriously fixed by Apple within days of its development. Partly because of this, don't expect much public discussion of the iPad2 jailbreak until it's actually finished and ready for release (and please avoid asking about it). In all liklihood, it will be a userland exploit like the first (unreleased) one, not dependent on bootrom dumps. The first one can't be released even for those with the original 4.3 firmware due to legal (distribution) reasons.
Geohot has reportedly accepted p0xisninja's challenge to see who can be the first to dump the bootrom, so hopefully some progress is being made.
Speaking of which, MyGreatFest is trying to raise money to help bring p0sixninja over to the UK for the big show, so if you're looking for something to do while you wait on the iPad 2 Jailbreak, head on over and help them out!

What Are Coilovers?
When first glancing through the Performance Coilover Kits section of our website, you may be put off by some of the prices you see. After all, what are you buying other than a combo set of springs and shocks under some fancy name? Certainly, you ask yourself, can't you purchase springs and shocks separately and monetarily come out ahead?
Before you make that decision, read on to learn that sometimes, the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts. Such is the case with coilovers. We'll show you that they are more than "just springs and shocks", and once the added value is recognized, the price actually becomes reasonable.
A coilover combines a coil spring and shock absorber into one integrated assembly. The coil spring is seated around a specially designed shock housing that mounts in place where OEM coil springs or MacPherson struts would be. Like any spring, coilovers serve to support the weight of a car or truck's body. However, it's important to note that even though a coilover's housing plays an integral role in supporting vehicle weight the same way a strut does, coilovers are not technically struts. The reason for this is because coilovers are not structural suspension members, which struts are.
Thanks to built-in adjustability, coilovers offer the ability to be shortened or lengthened - lowering or raising the ride height of your vehicle through manual adjustment, without complex electronics or hydraulics. As they compress, ride quality becomes firmer and more buttoned-down without the harshness of shortened coil springs.
Methods used to change height vary according to design. Some use a threaded collar at the base of the spring, while others use a knob at the bottom to vary the length of the shock body. Thus, any corner of your vehicle can be dropped from factory ride height to a setting that's up to 3 or 4 inches lower - reducing or eliminating the gap between the top of tires and fenders to create a desirable "flush stance". This makes them an economical alternative to air suspension kits. Most coilover kits include the wrench or similar tool needed to make adjustments, and almost all these kits allow the adjustments with the units mounted on the car.
Lower stance also lowers your vehicle's center of gravity which, in turn, reduces body roll while improving cornering, braking and acceleration. And unlike traditional lowering coil springs that reduce ride height by a fixed, predetermined amount, coilovers can be fine-tuned to a different height at each wheel, especially useful when racing. That's something air suspension kits can't do. Because coilovers are designed to provide height changes at a physical point that doesn't reduce suspension travel so much, it's easier to race or drive at a lowered ride height without you, your suspension components, and sensitive vehicle electronics taking a pounding. The value of coilovers is found in this greater level of adjustability.
If you prefer, there are coilovers that offer power adjustment for ride height. Like air springs, they're designed to provide soft ride comfort at full extension and firm handling with minimal body roll when lowered. Compare these to the cost of air suspension systems, and you'll find power coilovers still have a price advantage as well. Many coilovers are made largely out of aluminum, which removes unsprung weight from your vehicle. That's worth a price, no matter what kind of driving you do.
Coilovers designed primarily for street use will come with pre-set rates for shock absorber compression and rebound, while those for more aggressive street use or racing will allow additional adjustments for each. A firmer compression setting means the piston inside the shock has greater resistance to moving downward and the ride will have less give. A firmer rebound setting translates to a shock absorber that will bounce back up less eagerly during its extension. For example, on the drag strip, you want the front end of a rear-wheel-drive car to quickly rise on takeoff then slowly drop to ensure more weight stays over the drive wheels for grip. For best results, rebound (extension) would be set to soft, and compression would be set to firm.
With these types of coilovers, it's easy to dial in the amount of firmness you need for hard cornering, then select more give when you're loaded down with a carful of friends and gear on a road trip. The wrong rebound and compression settings can lead to an unnecessarily harsh ride, a reduced tire contact patch on the road, compromised grip, and the costly expense of accelerated tire wear. When wheels hop excessively from shocks that aren't pressurized correctly for the ride or handling you want, you're not getting the full benefits that adjustable coilovers offer.
Racing-oriented coilovers are designed with higher strength and heat reduction in mind. Inside the shock absorber, a "mono-tube" layout (see our related article on mono-tube vs. twin-tube shock designs) keeps hydraulic oil and nitrogen in separate chambers separated by a floating piston. As a result, there's no aerating of fluid within the shock body and no wasted time adapting to irregular surfaces. Some shock absorber elements are even mounted in an inverted position to position the hydraulic fluid chamber further away from brake rotor heat. To hold more fluid and maintain cooler operating temperatures, racing shock bodies are usually larger in diameter - or, they may be equipped with additional external fluid reservoirs. For heavy-duty strength that's invaluable on racetracks, lower mounts on racing-oriented coilovers may be crafted from steel rather than aluminum.
Coilovers For Street Driving
For those interested in improving handling and performance during street driving, Belltech's Coilover Lowering Kit offers a choice of three different setups which feature manual height adjustability (choices will vary depending on make and model). For drivers who want performance and ride comfort but don't want to manually adjust shock damping rates after changing the ride height, Variant 1 coilovers take the worry and guesswork out of it. Pre-set by the factory, Variant 1 will automatically achieve an optimum balance between sport handling, comfort, and safety at any ride height.
Belltech Variant 2 coilovers are designed for the more experienced drivers who prefer to set their own damper rebound rates when changing ride height. This set of four coilovers offer infinite adjustment of shock rebound damper rates to regulate vehicle pitch and roll behavior for ride comfort, rather than a fixed number of choices. For the expert driver and tuner, Variant 3 coilovers feature two-stage valves that allow an infinite level of rebound damping adjustment (comfort) and adjustable settings for compression adjustment (driving dynamics) in the low-speed range. Variant 3 settings for high-speed range (driving safety) are fixed. For the pickup truck owner who wishes to lower their vehicle in the front without giving up ride comfort or handling, Belltech also has a selection of coilovers for 4x4s that allow 3" of drop.
KW Suspensions also offers street-use Inox-Line Lowering Coilovers in three basic variations. For simple, no-muss operation choose the V1 Inox coilovers with pre-set damper settings. V2 Inox coilovers add rebound adjustment, and V3 Inox coilovers also allow compression rates to be adjusted to regulate driving dynamics. For higher-speed highway driving and everyday comfort, there's the KSport Kontrol Pro Coilover Kit (includes rebound and compression adjustment), KW Suspensions Street Comfort Coilover Lowering Kit (height and rebound adjustment), and Eibach's Pro Street Lowering Coilover Kit (height adjustment only).
Automatic Ride Height Adjustment
KW Suspensions offers several street-use-only coilover kits that provide automatic ride height adjustment at the touch of a button. For vehicles already equipped with electronically activated dampening control, the DDC Coilover Lowering Kit (Dynamic Damping Control) features a soft-riding "comfort" mode, firmer "normal" mode, and "sport" mode with minimal body roll. If your vehicle came from the factory with an electronically adjustable suspension already, the "Plug & Play" kit provides just the coilover springs - as replacement parts or as an upgrade. Wire connectors attached to each coilover plug directly in and work with your vehicle's existing wiring, factory control module, and interior switchgear. If your vehicle came with traditional coil springs and shocks and has no components of an electronically adjustable suspension system, an "ECU" kit will be included that provides everything needed to retrofit your vehicle.
KW's Hydraulic Coilover Lift System is a set of 4 normally-functioning coilovers that feature an additional hydraulic cylinder unit mounted between the spring perch and spring. These expand to provide 1.8 inches of front and rear lift when lowered vehicles need extra clearance for speed bumps, shop lifts, and more. For vehicles already equipped with OEM electronically controlled leveling shocks or factory air springs, the conversion kit includes just the hardware needed to add KW coilovers.
Drag Racing & Short Duration Track Racing
Drag Version Coilover kits make it easy to transfer or keep vehicle weight over drive wheels where it will ensure the back end stays planted for a quicker launch. We've got the KONI Universal Drag Racing Coilovers and the KSport Drag Race Version Coilover Kit. For those who are involved in a more serious level of drag racing, Eibach's Drag Launch Kit is a not a coilover kit, but a set of very stiff springs and adjustable air bladders that can be fitted to Eibach Multi-Pro-R1 Drag Launch coilover kits to virtually eliminate all body roll, squat, and dive.
Eibach's Multi-Pro kits are designed for the modern car performance enthusiast who drives their racer on the street to work every day, then takes it to the track or drag strip on weekends. In Product Options, choose R1 series coilovers for street driving with a small amount of club racing, or R2 series coilovers for a more aggressive level of racetrack driving as well as street use. There's also the Bilstein B16 Series Coilover Kits - available for a wide range of makes and models. If you prefer an emphasis on shorter duration track use, consider the KSport GT Pro or the Bilstein Clubsport Series Lowering Coilover Kit. KSport also offers the Race Version Coilover Kit tuned to offer consistent performance during shorter races where fast, sudden speed and directional changes are the norm.
If you've got a Chevy Corvette C5 (or newer), aFe's PFADT Series Featheright Single Adjustable Street and Track Coilover System is a coilover kit specifically designed to install in place of the Vette's OEM transverse leaf springs and shocks. Once installed, you'll see a more comfortable street ride without the harshness those leaf springs are known for, and you'll see better performance on the track. These Featheright coil springs are also available for other makes and models in street/track and drag strip applications as well.
And if you're into drifting, check out KSport's Slide Kontrol with spring rates and shock valving specially tuned for easier drifting launches.
Extended Track Racing
If you're planning on doing a more serious level of racing, KSport offers the Circuit Pro Coilover Kit with external fluid reservoirs to keep hydraulic fluid cool for steady, fade-free shock performance during long periods of endurance racing.
Gravel & Unpaved Roads Rallye Racing
KSport offers the Rallye Spec Coilover Kit for optimum control over uneven dirt trails. In the Product Options fields, you can choose Asphalt Rally coilovers that allow ride height drops up to 3 inches for pavement, or Gravel Rally coilovers for ride height increases up to 2 inches for clearance on uneven trails.
Coilovers For Lifted Trucks
While coilovers are thought of by many only as lowering devices, we also offer several kits designed to provide ride height lift for trucks. Skyjacker's Platinum Coil-Over Lift Kit provides lift on all 4 wheels of your vehicle with coilovers for the front and replacement coil or leaf springs for the rear. Because this kit is set up for permanent height increase, front coilovers are not height adjustable, and twin-tube shock absorbers are designed with emphasis on maintaining stock ride comfort.
For those interested in more serious off-roading where pounding can cause normal shock absorbers to overheat and fade, the ReadyLIFT Fox Front Coilover Kit provides two coilovers for the front of your vehicle only. Unlike the Skyjacker kit, these are height adjustable from the vehicle's stock ride height up to 3" of lift. Built-in monotube shock absorbers enhance stability, and external hydraulic fluid reservoirs provide better endurance thanks to a larger amount of fluid that disperses heat more effectively.
As you can see in the picture below, it's possible to enter the year, make, and model of your vehicle in the beginning of your search so that our website automatically does the work of narrowing down which coilover kits are offered for your specific car or truck. When looking through our selection, you'll notice each kit features one main lead picture. These pictures are not fully indicative of all the variations you'll find for each kit, because components vary from vehicle to vehicle. For example, a kit with a main picture of two coilovers may also be available as a set of four, and offer additional choices not shown.
Once you've gotten your coilovers installed, you'll appreciate the high degree of customization you can literally dial into your suspension. Performance will be enhanced, and you'll have features you never thought you could have for the amount of money spent. At this point, we trust we've convinced you that coilovers are great value for the money, and are really not "pricey" at all.

Die- Namics Lets Toast
It's our friend Rose's 50th Birthday soon, we are seeing them on Monday before they fly to Egypt for 2 weeks. Rose is very pretty and so young looking and slim you'd never believe she was 50. She loves red wine, don't we all, so I thought a card with roses and wine and a bottle of wine with a fancy label will be much appreciated. She often buys my cards for friends and family so will love the handmade gifts.
I was hoping this set of stamps and dies by Die -Namics called "Lets Toast " would arrive in good time to make these for Monday, quick email to Tracy at dies to die for , and they where in the post.
The paper used is first edition j'adore. I've added paper roses and tiny bows from my local cake shop and touches of gold trim from the hobby house. The border punch used is friscars treading water.
challenges entered :
the sweet stop : followed the sketch above
love to create : lets celebrate
the crazy challenge : :for a Birthday
spend so much time crafting , no housework or ironing done, craft room looks like a bomb site ...why am I only creative in a mess ?

Hahahahahahah nice find!
I don't get the Denzel Washington reference.
Has he become the new "Matt Damon"?
Regardless I'm sharing this with a few friends.

Heavy smoke hangs on the horizon as droves of refugees seek passage on ships leaving for the Crimson Coast city of Skyview. Fear has gripped the locals causing many to leave everything behind. Rumors have spread about Orcs haven taken up arms under the banner of Grumesh lead by one called Murm Goatjaw. Local militia has done all it can to keep order while the noble houses like that of Roaringhorn, make the hard decision to abandon their northern holdings to fortify the south.
You have managed to book passage on one of these ships, The Blue Barnacle. A rather unsavory crew of sailors maintain the ship. The journey to Sunewell is 3 weeks and every day on board has been more uncomfortable than the last. As one would expect everyone is on edge as more rumors spread through the ship like a fever. You decide to talk to some of the people on board since the ship came out of that storm.

A number of RG32 4x4 Light Armoured Vehicle is now complemented with the weapon station Protector. FMV, which runs the project, recently submitted the first vehicle to the Armed Forces.
With the weapon station mounted the RG32 has an advanced self-protection. Weapon station is mounted on the roof while the operator sits inside the vehicle. From here he can scout the surrounding area by using the camera, both in daylight and also in the dark. An infrared camera increases ability to operate in the dark. There is also a laser rangefinder.
- Those who patrol with the Light Armoured Vehicle equipped with weapons station, has a very good protection. Just that the operator can sit inside the vehicle enhances safety, says Lena Jansson, who is project manager at FMV. The opportunities to scout also increases significantly.
On the weapon station, which is gyro stabilized, the arms of four different calibers can be mounted, both machine guns and grenade gun. They are controlled from inside the vehicle.
Army Inspector Berndt Grundevik, sees it as an important contribution to increasing the safety for Swedish soldiers where FS22, the 22 Swedish force that now is turning to Afghanistan will have access to the vehicle.
- Using the right equipment, we can increase the security of our soldiers. Recently, both combat vest and tactical UAVs and now Light Armoured Vehicle RG 32 with weapon station. A close cooperation between the Armed Forces and FMV led to these new additions in a short time, says the Army Inspector Grundevik.
Protector, which is developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg, has been produced for ten years in different varieties. Cooperation between the countries of the Swedish-developed Archer artillery system has led to the conclusion that FMV procure Protector not only for the Light Armoured Vehicle RG 32, but also for Archer, Armoured Off-road 203 and Armoured Wheeled Vehicle 360.
Weapons Station 01, which is the Swedish name, is an improved version. The supplier calls it Protector Nordic, and will in its final version meet the Swedish requirements.

Slayer of Atwater and Kennedy
I'm sure Allan Friedman MD, Guy L. Odom Professor of Neurological Surgery, in the School of Medicine, Chief, Division of Neurosurgery in the Department of Surgery, Co-Director, Neuro-Oncology Program at Duke University ... I'm sure he's a capable guy, but I'm just as sure he knows he made only a gesture today. Nobody has the delusion that they can divert the juggernaut deathgrip Glioblastoma; not even, it is notable, any neurosurgeon. He must have been aware that he was participating in Kennedy myth-building. The patriarch must be seen as fighting to the last. All of the reports I'm seeing on Cablenews about "successful" surgery just indicate the patient survived surgery perhaps without new neurological deficits.
Unlike more well-behaved tumors, Glioblastoma has no definable plane between itself and normal brain tissue. Even with image-guidance, even with large margins taken around any obviously necrotic mass, macro- or microscopic tumor infiltrates and evades. After surgery, after radiation and chemotherapy, these little islands of viable tumor show up bad as ever as malignant little deathblossoms that are sadly never going to go away.

10 Best Robin Williams Movie Dialogues of all Time
1/1110 Best Robin Williams Movie Dialogues of all Time
We can't think of a single actor who has played the range of characters that Robin Williams has with half the success or acclaim! From comedy and drama to fantasy and thrillers, Williams did it all in his lustrous career in Hollywood. As the actor breathed his last on Monday, August 11 at his home in California, we take a look back at some of the the most memorable dialogues he immortalised in cinema.
2/11As Adrian Cronauer in Good Morning Vietnam (1987)
"Here's a news flash: Today President Lyndon Johnson passed a highway beautification bill. The bill basically said that his daughters could not drive in a convertible on public highways."
3/11As John Keatings Dead Poets Society (1989)
"O Captain, my Captain. Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me Mr. Keating, or if you're slightly more daring, O Captain my Captain."
4/11As Genie in Aladdin (1992)
"But oh, to be free. Not to have to go "Poof! What do you need, "Poof! What do you need, Poof! What do you need?". To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world. But what am I talking about? Let's get real here, that's never gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus."
5/11As Daniel Hillard/Mrs Doubtfire in Mrs Doubtfire (1993)
"Did you ever wish you could sometimes freeze frame a moment in your day, look at it and say 'this is not my life'?"

An Encounter with the Green Man: Three Lessons to Inspire Your Beltane Magic
Here is my latest SageWoman blog post. The "read more" link below will take you to the SageWoman blog page.
Twenty years ago on a Beltane Eve, I did my first ritual after moving to a rural home. In a secluded spot, surrounded by seven acres of undomesticated forest with only the stars and a single candle for illumination, I cast a circle and then called to the Green Man to come be with me in my Beltane magic. There was just me and my overpowering yearning to connect with the wild God energy of Nature. Sitting cross-legged with the moss-covered earth beneath me, I rocked back and forth, putting every ounce of my longings and love into my prayer and invocation, speaking out loud to the listening wilderness.
When you do magic in ritual space, the extraordinary and inexplicable can happen. This was one of those experiences. To my utter shock, a man-sized being of light appeared between the trees and walked toward me. His inner core was a warm, golden white, with diffused beams extending outward, like moving, radiant candlelight. I don't have words to describe His beauty and power. Even as I write this many years later, I feel the intensity of His stunning, delicious presence pushing against my flesh, both from the inside and the outside at once.
Yet, I am sorry to say, this spontaneous, magical appearance in physical reality terrified me. Although I had been working with spiritual beings through my dreams, ritual and channeling for a number of years, my contact had always been through inner images and voices, not direct, physical communion.
I closed my eyes and asked the Green Man to forgive me my limitations and fears, and to come to me in the way I was used to, through visualization and words. And there He was inside of me, speaking to me, and gifting me with the information and insights that I needed at the time on my long journey of healing my relationship with God and men, and blossoming into my true, deep Self.
This Beltane experience has left an indelible imprint on me, with lessons that helped me truly understand and embrace the Green Man's presence and gifts. Here are three of these lessons to inspire your Beltane magic with the Green Man.
1. The Green Man isn't just a mythic being, a psychological construct or something we humans have made up. He is real, substantive and most accessible to us at Beltane when the veil between the worlds is thin.
This lesson brings up an important point of divergence in the pagan world. Some see the Gods and Goddesses as purely human creations that are the products of myths and reflections of our human psyche. Others understand these Divine beings as immense spiritual entities that we can encounter and come to know through our spiritual practices, dreams and human creative and mythic works.
Consider how you conceive the Green Man. What do you already know about Him through myth and story? How do you understand and engage the Gods and Goddesses in your personal and ritual work? How open are you to direct communion with the Green Man? Your answers to these questions will impact how you can experience and work with the Green Man in your Beltane magic.
2. The Green Man is the lover God who gives us whatever we need, in whatever form to help us grow and blossom as our true, deep Self.

A beautifully supple blue leather cat collar hand made using the finest vegetable tanned Italian leather. The luxurious leather cat collar features a breakaway clip for your cat's safety, is lined with soft baby blue nappa leather for the most comfortable fit and stitched with matching baby blue thread.
Petiquette leather cat collars will fit a cat with a neck size between 20cm and 25cm. In order to ensure the collar will fit your cat, wrap a soft tape measure loosely around the middle of the neck allowing enough room for 1 finger and take that measurement.
We use a high quality breakaway clip which will come apart when a medium amount of pressure is exerted on it. The collars are not recommended for use on cats weighing under 2.5kg as there will not be enough weight to break the clip open if they become caught.

Indore mayor Malini Gaud of the BJP has landed herself in thick soup after she inadvertently paid floral tributes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
According to reports, Gaud, spouse of late Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister late Laxman Singh Gaud, was participating in a function at her residence in Indore.
After placing a garland on her late husband's picture, she went to on to garland the picture of PM and Chouhan.
Meanwhile, Congress MLA Jitu Patwari has slammed the mayor and said the concerned person should be punished.
This was not the first incident that such a gaffe has happened. A Jharkhand minister had drawn flak for offering floral tribute to former President APJ Abdul Kalam when he was still alive.

In a new research led by UC San Francisco, scientists find that mutations in a gene (DIXDC1) can change the way brain cells communicate and may dispose people to psychiatric diseases.
The finding is newly published in Molecular Psychiatry. Researchers conducted genetic analysis of more than 9,000 human psychiatric patients and mutant mice. They find that mutations in the gene DIXDC1 may act as a general risk factor for psychiatric disease.
Gene DIXDC1 is involved in brain development, and its mutation can interfere with the way the brain regulates connections between neurons.
Researchers find that this gene is a key piece of the WNT signaling pathway, which is active in tissues of the brain and interacts with gene DISC1.
Gene DISC1 has been implicated in schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorders.
Researchers first analyzed genomic data from 6,000 patients with autism spectrum disorders, 1,000 patients with bipolar disorder, and 2,500 patients with schizophrenia.
They found that disruptive mutations in the main neuronal form of DIXDC1 were present about 80% more often in psychiatric patients compared to healthy controls.
To understand how gene DIXDC1 mutations put normal brain function at risk, researchers then turned to mutant mice that lacked a functioning copy of the gene.
They found that though the mutant mice were normal in many ways, they exhibited heightened anxiety, loss of motivation, and reduced interest in social interactions. All of these were similar to symptoms in human psychiatric disorders.
Further analysis showed that neurons in the mutant mice had lower numbers of dendritic spines, an important part of the synapses that neurons use to communicate with one another.
Researchers suggest that WNT signaling can play a key role in driving psychiatric disease, and that it works through changes in synaptic communication between neurons.
This study is one key step towards a precision medicine understanding of what drives psychiatric disorders.

Nextbit Robin Review – design statement of former HTC-designer
In summary
The Nextbit Robin is above all a design statement. The specs for 2016 midrange and if he performs well. The cameras are slow and there are alternatives with much better cameras. The screen is adequate, but no more than that and the battery life is about the same level as that of many competitors. The modifications to Android tackle not so positive and Nexbit mainly devised something complicated with Smart Storage, which would be easily solved with a SD card slot. That leaves the draft notice; it is totally original, well thought out and without a doubt the strongest point of this device.

Stereo speakers at the front
Taking pictures is slow and camera could be better

You see them rarely or never at parties or on the train, they are not high in PriceWatch and there are no major discussions on the forum, but they are there: smaller manufacturers who are trying to do innovative things in the smartphone market. They put themselves in various ways against the established order.
Some of these manufacturers make products stand out more than others, and one of the most striking new star in the firmament is the Robin Nextbit. First, the company itself: there are three founders on the site. Two of them worked at Google on Android; the third is Scott Croyle, former chief designer of HTC. At HTC, he was among other known devices like the Touch Diamond, HTC One X, One M7 and M8 One.
That's what you call a promising team and Robin has become a striking device. In this review we discuss Next Bits first smartphone.Viewing:-379

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Neymar scored the winning penalty in a shoot-out to give Brazil the SuperClassico crown over Argentina. Having won the first leg 2-1 in Brazil last month, the Seleção lost by the same scoreline in Buenos Aires' La Bombonera Stadium late Wednesday night.
Yet a 4-3 victory on spot-kicks gave Brazil the title for the second consecutive year. With a lead to defend, Mano Menezes did not send his side out in the most creative way he could, instead striving to shut out the opposition.
Two goals from Scocco however, either side of a strike from Fred, left an aggregate score of 3-3 before the Brazilians emerged victorious. The Seleção will now only return to the field in 2013, on February 6th.
Their first game of the year is against England in London's Wembley stadium. the 2013 main challenge will be the Confederations Cup, hosted in Brazil from June 15th-30th, with the final to be held at Rio's renovated Maracanã Stadium.

Applying the findings of clinical trials to individual patients
ACP J Club. 1995 July-Aug;123:26. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-1995-123-1-026
To the Editor
The editorial by Guyatt and colleagues (1) contained an incongruity as glaring as a cubist figure squatting on a Monet water lily.
The statement was made that because the confidence interval of a relative risk reduction (RRR) includes zero, "the results are compatible with no treatment effect." This sounds like radiology-speak—a bland, noncommittal structure free of information. Blue skies are "compatible with no treatment effect." So is rain.
I consider your journal to be a leader in making words mean something. This jars.
Thomas E. Finucane, MD
Johns Hopkins University
Baltimore, Maryland
In response
In our editorial, we described a randomized trial of low-dose amiodarone in patients with heart failure in which 87 of 260 patients and 106 of 256 control patients died (RRR, 19% [95% CI, 11% to 36%]). This indicates that our best estimate (or point estimate) of the true underlying treatment effect is an RRR of 19%. That 19%, however, is just an estimate, and the true treatment effect may be greater or smaller. The further from the point estimate of 19%, the less likely it is that a particular RRR represents the true underlying effect. An RRR > 36% or a detrimental treatment effect with increases in relative risk > 1% are very unlikely. Thus, although the treatment may appreciably reduce the risk for death, if asked whether we have excluded a treatment effect of 0, we must answer "no, we have not."
Dr. Finucane considers our statement that the results are compatible with a treatment effect of 0 to be free of information. We can understand his frustration, but the limitation of information is in the trial rather than in our statement.
Because of the limited sample size and the resulting width of the CI, we must conclude that, although blue skies (an appreciable treatment effect) are most likely, there remains an outside chance of rain (a treatment effect of 0). Until we have sufficiently large methodologically rigorous trials of our therapies, or meta-analyses combining the results of several of these trials, we will have to accept the same uncertainty with our treatments as we do when we listen to the weather report.

The branded service that we currently have is called RevON Remote Network Management. This is a part of our IT support division.
The Manufacturing Services division of our company offers Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation services as well as development and optimization services. Our customers are mostly automotive manufacturers with some food and beverage manufacturers mixed in. Within those organizations, we work with Plant Managers, IT Directors and a variety of C-level players. Our consultants use a specific implementation methodology when working with customers on their implementations. Manufacturing Services also has a maturity model that they use to help manufacturers know how they compare to other manufacturers. These are the two service offerings that we would like to brand. We are calling them RevEdge (implementation methodology) and RevEdge+ (maturity model) because we believe that these services give our clients and edge over their competitors.
We want a logo that is clean and crisp, something that says we are a technology company. But also something friendly... because building extraordinary relationships is what we are really all about. We have not decided if we prefer RevEdge or revEdge or any other combination of letters with italics or bold lettering - that will be contingent upon the design that we ultimately choose.
I have attached our corporate logo, the logo of our RevON service offering and our company brand colors for you to see what our corporate look is at this point. We of course, want to stay in those color schemes. We have just recently re-designed our corporate logo, but the RevON logo was done several years ago. We will likely want to have it re-designed in the near future, based upon the look and feel of the new RevEdge logos.

Breaking AwayDVD - 2002
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
It was great to see the movie again for the first time in decades. The story still brings laughs and appreciation of the lives of the characters, and even forty years later, many of the themes of the story are still relevant.
Breaking Away is a wonderfully sunny, funny, goofy, intelligent movie that makes you feel about as good as any movie in a long time. It is, in fact, a treasure.
A more accurate description would be "four teenage friends from working class backgrounds, recently graduated from high school, find an unlikely source of direction in the form of a collegiate bicycle race."
It's worth it just to see very young versions of actors Dennis Quaid and Daniel Stern. Sweet movie that is super for college-town viewers. A must-see!
A timeless bicycle film from 1979. This movie of summer angst has a lot of heart and real insight into ordinary people struggling in the divide of town vs 'gown' -- in the college town of Bloomington, Indiana.
Fun light hearted movie!
Close to a perfect movie. Great script, interesting plot, believably presented. Pretty good acting too, from a young cast. Most viewers will relate to this universal story, about that brief time in life, the months following high school graduation, where everything seems possible. And things about life begin to change. The 'Sugar Mountain' life slowly, inexorably, dissolves. Pursuits which were at best games and hobbies before, now become obsessions. And the subsequent problems of obsessed youth follow. Highly recommended.
I really enjoyed this. The characters are endearing, especially the main character Dave. A story from a different time that's for sure - a more innocent age. Lots of cycling - it probably helps if you like cycling, but worth watching for everyone - cover says it won loads of awards. Sunny.

How to Live the Christian LifeQUESTION: What does the Bible say about how to live the Christian life?
How to live the Christian life is a topic that is discussed in many Bible passages. One of the most notable discourses was between Jesus and Nicodemus. Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish council, went to Jesus during the night to discover how to live the Christian life. Jesus explains to Nicodemus that he must be born again: "…I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again" (John 3:3). Salvation is the beginning step in living a Christian life. In John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Jesus encourages all believers to grow in relationship, commitment, and obedience to Him. This is the essence of how to live a Christian life. Our relationship, commitment, and obedience are done out of love, not constraint. John 14:21 says, "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
Living the Christian life is not abiding by an agenda or following a set of strict rules. Instead, the Christian life is characterized by:
- Understanding that you are a new creation! 2 Corinthians 5:17 declares: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
- Transforming and renewing your mind. Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."
- Treating others with love. Philippians 2:3-4 says, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
- Living out the teachings of Christ. Jesus taught: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3-10).
- Sharing your faith. Matthew 5:14-16 says, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
No matter what opposition you face, living the Christian life is worth it! Enjoying a relationship with God and His Son Jesus, being confident of where you will spend eternity, and living in day-to-day fellowship with Him is far greater than any opposition you may face.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? - We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus
Yes, I am already a follower of Jesus
I still have questions

Yep, it's that time again... Now we know that Fun & Fancy Free, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Hercules, Tarzan and Mickey, Donald and Goofy: The Three Musketeers will hit Blu-ray on August 12th...
Here we go again!
Blue titles are CONFIRMED titles...
Muppets Most Wanted - June 24, 2014 - REAL DATE: August 12, 2014 (announced 5/16/14)
- Still sticking with this prediction. Heck, it didn't do so well at the box office so I'm surprised the release date hasn't been mentioned yet. It's most likely going to come out some time next month, if not then July...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - July 22, 2014 - REAL DATE: September 9, 2014 (announced 5/30/2014)
- This one has always been tricky for me to predict. Typically, the May Marvel movies get a late September release. This has been a thing since Iron Man came out in 2008, but with this film being an April release, will they release it in August instead? Well, I think they'll release it before that... Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1st, and maybe Marvel might want to release this film before that opens... Maybe include an exclusive sneak peek, or have a movie ticket coupon come with the Blu-ray. (Similar to the Pixar Blu-rays that came out months before the year's new Pixar film opened.
Fun & Fancy Free / The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad 2-Movie Collection - August 12, 2014
The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad - August 12, 2014
Bedknobs and Broomsticks - August 12, 2014
Hercules - August 12, 2014
Tarzan - August 12, 2014
Mickey, Donald & Goofy: The Three Musketeers - August 12, 2014
Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition - October 7, 2014
Maleficent - October 7, 2014 - REAL DATE: November 4, 2014 (announced 8/2/2014)
Saludos Amigos / The Three Caballeros 2-Movie Collection - October 14, 2014
Make Mine Music / Melody Time - October 14, 2014
The Black Cauldron - October 14, 2014
Still sticking with October predictions as well... I can't see Disney waiting too long to belt out the rest of the package features, since they have been so trigger-happy with releases these days. (Just look at last year, and this coming August.) The Black Cauldron, again, is long overdue and a Halloween release is perfect for this film. I can see Maleficent being released the same day as Sleeping Beauty, probably going for the Halloween angle.
Ratatouille 3D - November 4, 2014
WALL-E 3D - November 4, 2014
Frozen 3D - November 4, 2014
My earlier predictions had The Incredibles sitting right alongside Ratatouille for the 3D Blu-ray treatment, not WALL-E, but I'm thinking that Disney might hold off on putting out the 3D version of that film... Why's that? Well, with the confirmation of an Incredibles 2 coming, Disney might want to re-release Pixar's film the year before the next one comes out. Superheroes are big at the moment, and if they vault the current Blu-ray now, and then when it comes back around 2017/2018, the re-release could actually do well.
I think the 3D re-releases of Beauty and the Beast, Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo couldn't make Lion King 3D numbers because they were either A) available on home media at the time or B) they went in the vault not too long before the re-releases. The Lion King hit the vault in 2005, the re-release appeared in 2011, that was more than enough time. Monsters, Inc., which hit Blu-ray in 2009, vaulted in sometime in 2012 - mere months before the late 2012 re-release. Finding Nemo's DVD vaulted in 2010, two years before the release. Everyone and their brother owns Finding Nemo or has seen it on television, since Starz shows it like all the time.
Long story short, Disney shot the re-release plan in the foot. That being said, they could try again and give The Incredibles a re-release to hype up the second one, whenever it comes out. (I'm thinking 2018 at the moment.) Right now, they'd have to vault the current Blu-ray, they still have time.
Anyways, Ratatouille 3D is being released in Europe this summer so a North American release is probably right around the corner. WALL-E 3D is also long overdue, so I can see those two hitting this fall.
Frozen 3D is also indeed coming, as all signs point to it happening some time this fall. Wait for it, wait for it...
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas / Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas 2-Movie Collection - November 11, 2014 - REAL DATE: November 4, 2014 (announced 8/5/2014)
Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House and Mouse - November 11, 2014
- Again, Disney is content with releasing TV and direct-to-video fodder like this to Blu-ray. Last holiday season, they did it with A Very Merry Pooh Year and this year, Springtime for Roo and The Jungle Book 2. I can expect them to release these three specials/DTV films next holiday season.
Planes: Fire & Rescue - November 18, 2014
- Unlike the first Planes, this is a mid-July release. Because of that, I can see this hitting Blu-ray sometime before Thanksgiving. Planes hit Blu-ray in December of last year...
Guardians of the Galaxy - November 25, 2014
- Just in time for Thanksgiving, but yes, since it's an August release, I can see it coming out around this time.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - December 9, 2014
It turns 60, and Disney needs to get the ball rolling when it comes to their live action classics. Mary Poppins got a mid-December release (though it was of course released during that time to promote Saving Mr. Banks), so this could too.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - January 13, 2015
Small-scale October release, out-of-the-way January Blu-ray release.
Aladdin Diamond Edition - February 10, 2015
The demand is high for it, plus they wouldn't have One Hundred and One Dalmatians come out first because this film's Blu-ray release would be further distanced from Aladdin Broadway play. This should be the 2015 Diamond Edition, no two ways about it. I'm surprised that the Blu-rays for The Little Mermaid and The Jungle Book ignored the tradition of listing the next 2 Diamonds on the leaflet inside. Mermaid's Blu-ray only announced The Jungle Book, Jungle Book's Blu only announced Sleeping Beauty… We have to wait till fall to find out, I guess.
(Unless some info gets leaked, which it most likely will.)
(Unless some info gets leaked, which it most likely will.)
Big Hero 6 - March 3, 2015
A Goofy Movie / An Extremely Goofy Movie 2-Movie Collection - March 10, 2015
The Return of Jafar / Aladdin and the King of Thieves 2-Movie Collection - March 10, 2015
A Goofy Movie turns 10 in early 2015, plus it has a following. Disney would be unwise to not release it. Aladdin's 2 and 3? This release will coincide with the Aladdin Diamond Edition, of course. The sequels always arrive a month after the original's Diamonds.
Into The Woods - April 28, 2015
Also self-explanatory.
Cinderella (2015) - June 16, 2015
- Kenneth Branagh's live-action Cinderella, which is hitting theaters March 13, 2015.
Avengers: Age of Ultron - September 22, 2015
Marvel films released in May always come out in late September.
One Hundred and One Dalmatians Diamond Edition - October 6, 2015
Tomorrowland - October 20, 2015
Inside Out - November 3, 2015
A Bug's Life 3D - November 3, 2015
- In this scenario, A Bug's Life is the last Pixar title that doesn't have a 3D Blu-ray release. What better way to release it than with the year's new Pixar film?
Ant-Man - November 10, 2015
Getting it out before the holidays, plus the film is a July release.101 Dalmatians / 102 Dalmatians 2-Movie Collection - November 17, 2015
101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure - November 17, 2015
- I wouldn't be surprised if Disney released the two live action films to cash in on the Blu-ray debut of the original classic. As for the sequel, this is a given since Diamond Edition films' DTV sequels always come out a month after the original (i.e. Cinderella in Oct. 2012, Cinderella II & III combo pack in Nov. 2012)…
Pinocchio - February 9, 2016
The remaining Diamond title. 2015 would be it's 75th Anniversary though, but Disney tends to slap dates onto films, even in the wrong year. (Pinocchio's 70th Anniversary Edition came out in 2009, 69 years after it debuted in theaters!)
The Jungle Book (2015) - February 23, 2016
The Jungle Book (2015) - February 23, 2016
- Set for release in October 2015 (the cast is a little bigger now, it's going full steam ahead soon), this should be a February release since it's a tentpole and not a small scale film a la Alexander and the Terrible Extremely-Long-Titled Movie.

I am at a loss of words, I don't know what to write. I do know I don't feel right posting a recipe and writing a fun blog post right now. I feel shitty. I am not that articulate (go figure... blog writer and all HA!) to explain to you all how I as a mom am handling the thoughts of having your child ripped from your life. I just can't.
We all have different ways of expressing our feelings and coping with a tragic event. I for one can't get the images out of my head. I want to do anything and everything I can do, to prevent this type of senseless act from happening again.... I have been in touch with my local legislation, I have written letters and drawn pictures to the victims families in CT, and I want to do more..... That could have been one of children's names on the list of the 26 killed on Friday.
So in my day of silence (partial day... I cheated a couple times!) I came to some conclusions.
1) I am addicted to my smart phone. This is not a funny addiction, one that I can poke fun at like my addiction to baking... hence the blog name. This is a real addiction. I have my phone in my hand at all times. I am constantly on twitter, facebook, and instagram. You all know it... you see me there. You might be on it as much.... I don't know. But What I do know is that I don't like it.... I don't want to be connected all the time.
2) I watch the news TOO much! I have been crying for 4 days. I'm not joking. I can't tear my eyes away from ABC or CNN. When the news isn't on in the house... I'm reading it on my damn phone or listening to it on NPR!
3) I had so much more fun yesterday NOT blogging than I had in a long time. I took time to appreciate every aspect of my life. I counted my blessings and I am vowing to not take my time for granted with my family.
4) Blogging is burning me out. The community that exists amongst you all is great. I have made a ton of friends. But I find the drama, the constant worry about stats, PR, monetizing my blog.... utterly exhausting.
I have blogger burn out my friends. And honestly... I just want to sit on the floor and play Lego's with my kids.
How do you battle blogger burnout? And how are you coping with the Newtown tragedy?

Random thoughts about living in Israel, books, and anything else that strikes my fancy
Friday, March 7, 2008
Mishenichnas Adar...משנכנס אדר
And then, I saw the news that 2 terrorists entered Yeshivat Merkaz Harav in Yerushalayim, killed 8 students, and wounded 10 others. Seven of the dead are teenagers, ranging in age from 15-19; the oldest casualty was 26. Suddenly, I don't feel like laughing anymore.
For most of us, life will go on as usual. We'll rant for a while, complain about the uselessness of the government, shed a tear at the heartbreaking pictures of funerals and choke up when we hear the hespedim. But eventually we'll continue to live our lives because what else can we do? Life goes on. Except for those 8 families. And ten others in limbo.
I feel like anything I say will be trite but I just felt the need to reach out.
May we know better days than these.

I, too, was grieved by the bad news from Jerusalem. But now several days have gone by, and it's time for us to get in the Adar mood (Adar II, I might add). So I hope your readers will now feel the urge to watch those Purim videos and have just as good a laugh as you had. You'll find them (in order) here (Chap. 1 & 2), here (Chap. 3 & 4), here (Chap. 5 & 6), and here (Chap. 7-10). Enjoy!

Where are Tadpoles found?
Tadpole care offers a unique experience to witness their metamorphosis – a physical development that occurs three times in the frog's life cycle: eggs, larvae, and adulthood. Within three weeks of the female frog laying her eggs they hatch and the larvae break free. They can be gathered from a local pond as eggs or as fledgling Tadpoles or purchased in captivity. Raising and caring for Tadpoles as they grow is both a fascinating and educational process but be sure that where you get your Tadpoles from, they must be a species native to your local area.
Tadpoles are found in many places such as streams, ponds or lakes. Sometimes frogs will even lay eggs in swimming pools, or a garden container (ie bird bath).
Not only is it fascinating to watch your Tadpoles grow into frogs, but collecting your Tadpoles from the wild has genuine conservation benefits including:
- Tadpoles will survive better in captivity with the right care as they won't be subject to weather or falling prey to other animals. More of the captive Tadpoles will reach maturity compared to their wild counterparts.
- It's fun and educational for both children and adults alike and gives us a better understanding of the wonder of nature.
- It's a great way to teach your kids to have respect for nature and the environment.
Tadpole Eggs
If you are thinking about raising your Tadpoles from eggs (the eggs will be in a gelatinous state for up to 48 hours after they are laid) there are a few things to consider. Set up your container as you would for the Tadpoles, though they are small now, they will grow rather quickly, so resist putting them in a smaller container and moving them later. Research has shown that eggs will die if they are in a small body of water and moving them around may harm them, so it's best to put them right into container ready for their life as Tadpoles.
Getting Ready
As with anything preparation is the key. Remember before you undertake the responsibility of raising Tadpoles, make sure you have the time to care for them properly, it may take weeks or even months for them to grow into frogs. You will need to think what equipment you will need and what food to feed them. Let's look at each of these in more detail.
The Container
The first step in Tadpole care is obtaining a suitably sized container to house them, such as a garden pond, child's swimming pool or a large aquarium. Though your choices are many, the single most important factor is that the container be free of any chemicals or cleaning products. For more information on how to house your Tadpoles click here.
The Water
Tadpoles have gills just like fish and they need clean water to thrive. Whatever type of water you choose to use, the most important factor is that it's clean. Rainwater is best and is relatively easy to collect by putting out clean buckets in your garden to catch it. For more information how how to fill your Tadpole's new home, click here.
The Food
Tadpoles are herbivores and eat many different types of food but seem to love algae and vegetation. Read more here about what to feed your little friends here.
As the babies continue to grow and develop, their dietary requirements change. Their legs form and their tails are digested as a food source as it shrinks. The Tadpole care changes from a totally plant based diet to one inclusive of live protein, with crickets being their favorite. Other choices are aphids, fruit flies, bloodworms, or meal worms. These can be purchased at a pet store.
An important aspect of Tadpole care is keeping their water clean. The developing frogs release pheromones into their water supply to restrict the development of other Tadpoles and reduce their competition. Regularly one third of their water should be scooped out and replaced with dechlorinated water to reduce pollution and concentrations of this chemical. Allow a small amount of feces to remain in the water as the babies eat them.
As your little Tadpoles grow and develop you will need lower the water level and place partially submerged rocks or wood in the water to allow them to climb out and breathe. Alternatively add some gravel that slopes down into the water, creating a dry land area for them to climb up to.
Release into the wild
Your little Tadpoles have gone through so many changes and are now full fledged frogs ready to be released back to nature. The question is where to release them? If you have collected your tiny Tadpoles or eggs from a stream or a river, it's best to release them back where you originally found them. If however you found them from a swimming pool or garden container it would obviously be better not to put them back there. The species of frog will also have some bearing on the best place to release them, so it's best to check on the best habitat for that particular species.
It's best to release them on a cloudy or rainy day, avoid doing so when the sun is very hot and keep in mind the environment where you release them as they will need to be able to find a cool spot to hide.
