Kevin Fowler - Kevin Fowler describes his own music as country with a bad attitude, with an edge. He delivers one of the most entertaining, high-energy performances you'll witness in country or any other genre. His intensity, subtle humor and storytelling are legendary. Unforgettable numbers like "Beer, Bait and Ammo," "Cheaper to Keep Her," "The Best Mistake I Ever Made," and "Don't Touch My Willie" have put him atop the Texas music charts. Montgomery Gentry and Mark Chesnutt are among those who've recorded classic versions of Fowler songs. An Amarillo native and long-time Austin resident, Fowler's first taste of country music came through his father's vinyl... Johnny Horton, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens and Roy Clark. Young Kevin was drawn to acts like AC/DC, Kiss, The Cars and Metallica. After quitting college and finishing guitar school in Los Angeles, he played with a country group called Rumble Train and rockers Dangerous Toys before striking out on his own. Says Fowler: "I've always liked rock, for the attitude and the energy. But I've always liked the country lyric. It just tells a story. And I try to combine those elements... make it rockin' and fun with a good lyric in there, a good turn of a phrase." With eight albums since the turn of the century and 150-plus shows a year, Fowler stays busy.
Casey Donahew Band - Known for his frenetic on-stage energy and everyman likeability, Donahew grew up in Burleson, south of Fort Worth, where he was active in rodeo (team roping). George Strait, Garth Brooks and Pat Green were among his influences. Self-taught in his college years at Texas A&M and UTA, Donahew started playing local clubs 11 years ago, when he first plugged in at the Thirsty Armadillo in Fort Worth's stockyards. April's Standoff, his latest release, debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart. His fourth studio album, Double Wide Dream, came out on October 25, 2011. Other releases include Lost Days (2005), The Casey Donahew Band (2006), Live-Raw-Real, In the 'Ville (2008) and Moving On (2009). Always popular with the college-age crowd (his corner-turning 2007 show at Billy Bob's Texas drew 3,500 without radio airplay), Donahew and mates perform over 200 shows a year. The Casey Donahew Band is comprised of Donahew (acoustic/electric/ vocals), J.J. Soto (lead guitar), TAZ (drums), Steve Stone (bass), Josh Moore (fiddle) and A.C. Copeland (keyboards).
Reckless Kelly - Two things set Reckless Kelly apart. They straddle the fence between country and rock as if they built it themselves. They are also very generous with their time and talents. Good Luck & True Love (2011) is the ninth album in Reckless Kelly's catalogue, which also includes Somewhere In Time (2009), Bulletproof (2008), Reckless Kelly Was Here (2006), Wicked Twisted Road (2005), Under The Table And Above The Sun (2003), The Day (2000), Acoustic: Live at Stubbs (2000) and Millican (1997). Willy Braun (lead vocals/guitar), Cody Braun (vocals/ fiddle/mandolin/harmonica), David Abeyta (lead guitar/vocals), Jay Nazz (drums) and Joe Miller (bass) are Reckless Kelly. Since 2009, the Reckless Kelly Celebrity Softball Jam at The Dell Diamond in Round Rock has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to benefit baseball and softball facilities in Central and South Texas. Much of the focus has been on special-needs children and the economically underserved.

The piece by Martin Jacques in the Guardian that Trunk linked to below –"The Neocon Revolution" — is less objectionable than I expected. For example, Jacques recognizes that President Bush's foreign policy is not driven by a single-minded ideological commitment either to unilateralism or to regime change. Rather, administration policy, though informed by certain basic principles, is formulated rationally on a case-by-case basis.
I do wonder, though, what Jacques and others mean when they characterize the administration as "neo-conservative." The people in charge — President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Secretaries Rice and Rumsfeld — were not, to my knowledge, considered neo-conservatives in the past. And the administration's emphasis on the pursuit of democracy stands in contrast to the views of original neo-conservatives like Jeanne Kirkpatrick, who vigorously opposed

We've all heard the warnings about obesity and its health risks, yet many of us keep gaining weight. According to the CDC, more than one-third of U.S. adults, or 35.7% are substantially obese. People who are obese have an abnormally high and unhealthy proportion of body fat.
This important public health issue is now epidemic. According to the CDC, the prevalence of obesity in the late 1970s was 15%. By 2004, it had doubled and reached 32.5%.
An adult who is overweight has a body mass index (BMI) of 25.0 to 29.9. An adult who is obese has a BMI of 30.0 or more. (To find your BMI, multiply your weight in pounds by 703. Divide that answer by your height in inches. Divide that answer by your height in inches, again. The resulting number is your BMI.)
You may already know that obesity is linked to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, and harmful cholesterol. Recent research has revealed 6 findings you may not know:
Researchers with the National Cancer Institute have determined that certain cancers of the breast (occurring after menopause), the lining of the uterus (endometrium), colon and rectum, and other cancers of the kidney, esophagus, pancreas, thyroid, and gallbladder, are also increased in obese individuals, and are strongly associated with obesity and physical inactivity.
Obesity has been linked to a rise in fatal heart attacks in young people. According to the American Heart Association, teenagers and young adults who are obese or have type 2 diabetes, show signs of damage to the arteries in the heart (early atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries) that may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke later in life. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes if your child is overweight, he or she is much more likely to become an overweight adult, which can cause a lifetime of very serious health concerns.
For those who are obese, daily life itself is harder, studies show. Simple tasks like carrying groceries, walking up stairs, kneeling, and stooping are more difficult for the obese. Sleep apnea, a condition in which you intermittently stop breathing when asleep, and is more prevalent among obese people, is often a cause of lethargy during the day. Sleep apnea is important because it predisposes people to heart attacks at night when asleep.
According to the CDC, obese people are also more likely to have chronic diseases such as coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. Stroke, dyslipidemia (high levels of cholesterol or triglycerides), osteoarthritis, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux are also more common among obese people.
A study published in the journal Pediatrics found that girls who weigh too much tend to develop breasts and pubic hair earlier than their peers, at age 8 or 9. Early puberty may put girls at risk for behavioral and emotional problems.
Doctors believe increases in childhood obesity have led to the sharp, unprecedented increase in type 2 diabetes among kids. In type 2 diabetes, the body is unable to make enough insulin or use insulin effectively. Experts believe that in the next 10 years, more children will have type 2 diabetes than type 1 diabetes. In the past, type 2 diabetes was almost unheard of in children. In the past, almost all children with diabetes suffered from type 1 diabetes, but now, type 2 diabetes is being seen commonly in obese children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says most children with type 2 diabetes are obese. The disease usually turns up in middle to late puberty. Children who get little exercise, eat too much, and have a family history of diabetes are at highest risk. Type 2 diabetes in children markedly increases their risk of heart disease as they age.
Although studies have linked obesity and diabetes to an increased risk for dementia and diseases such as Alzheimer's, the National Institutes of Health says that researchers still aren't sure whether these conditions actually cause them.

Apple pudding with milk, and international tongue twisters
When you move to a new country and learn a new language, the locals inevitably present you with various tongue-twisters. Something difficult and tricky, so they could have a laugh when you say that. In Estonia, foreigners are often asked to say 'Jüriöö ülestõus' - scarily confusing when you look at the words (what's with all those dots and tildes and long vowels and diphthongs?), but not so difficult to pronounce, actually, as long as you know how each of the letters is to sound. Jüriöö ülestõus, by the way, means St George's night uprising - something that happened way back in 1343 here in Estonia.
In Denmark, they've got a much trickier tongue twister: rødgrød med fløde - a name of a lovely Danish red berry pudding with cream. That, let me tell you, is much more difficult to pronounce than 'Jüriöö ülestõus'. I know, as I spent a year in Denmark as an exchange student in 1992-1993 and was asked to say those three words more than once. And the term is not just used to make fun of innocent exchange students - apparently it was used to tell German infiltrators posing as Danes during the Second World War - not even the most talented inflitrators could pronounce this one correct, you see.
And how is all that related to this post? Well, there's a much easier-sounding alternative to rødgrød med fløde, and that's æblegrød. Æblegrød, of course, is apple pudding. I used some beautiful local sõstraroosa or "redcurrant pink" apples (see photo here) that we had picked up at the farm last weekend. They were a bit underripe, so not so good for eating, but they did make a most beautiful and delicious apple pudding..
Apple pudding with milk
Serves 4, can be easily doubled or tripled
Recipe adapted from an old issue of Nõukogude Naine or Soviet Woman:)
500 grams apples (cored weight), cubed
100 grams sugar
100 ml water
a cinnamon stick or some vanilla extract (optional)
Peel* and core the apples, cut into chunks. Place apple chunks, sugar and water into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, stirring regularly, until apples have turned opaque and you've got a thick mush.
Season with cinnamon (adding the stick in the beginning) or vanilla extract (adding it at the end).
Cool, serve with cold milk. Or with vanilla custard, if you insist.
* I never peel apples from our own garden, as they're 'uncertified organic'. If you use supermarket-bought apples, I'd definitely peel them first.

our favourite austrian tongue twister is oachkatzlschwaof or squirrel's tail. not something i'd necessarily cook for you, though!

I can do Rodgrod med flode! Now the other ones....mmm
In Holland we used our guttural G to trick German infiltrators with something like: "gerookte vis met graten in Scheveningen"...
Your applepudding has the most gorgeous color!

Hmm...these sound like our pink lady apples, which I just adore. I've never made apple pudding, but I know I'd love it based on your recipe and photo. Thanks for introducing me to it.

Ha! My apples are 'uncertified organic' too! I just don't know when they're ready to pick. It's the old taste and pucker method right now.
Your pudding looks lovely!
I'm very good with American tounge-twisters, have caused great laughter here in France. I entertained the neighborhood one day saying 'ordinateur' (computer) I still don't know what I was doing wrong, but they thought it was hilarious! "Say it again"...

how did you get that beautiful pink colour? is it from the apple peel?

The colour is soo beautiful! Really lovely way to prepare those apples.

Meeta & Joey - thank you for your sweet words!
DaviMack - thank you:) Do you or your wife have any Estonian connections? Just curious:)
Lydia - would õunapuder be easier? That's the Estonian word:)
Johanna - I definitely cannot pronounce that one!!! Oachkatzlschwaof?!? I doesn't sound edible indeed:)
Baking Soda - and what does gerookte vis met graten in Scheveningen stands for?
Susan - they're not as crisp as "Pink Lady" apples, but the colour is similar indeed. I'm sure Pink Ladies would make a good apple pudding, however, so hopefully you give this dessert recipe a go!
Katie - for cooking and baking, I use always 'fallen' apples. It's only for storing in the cellar, that we 'pick' them off the branches.. And sorry to hear you they give you hard time over 'ordinateur' :)
Garrett - thank you, and welcome! Hope you'll come back soon!
Paz - I'm glad to hear that:)
Anna- yes, you're right - the colour must be because I didn't peel the apples, as the apple flesh is rather pale on its own.
Valentina - I loved the colour, too!
- 7:43 pm, August 19, 2007
- DaviMack said...
I'm afraid that you're our only connection to Estonia, Pille. But so far it's a good one. :)

Hi Pille,
Great cultural history about the tongue twisters. In the States, we often get folks to say, "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers."
- 3:01 pm, August 20, 2007
- Pille said...
DaviMack - thank you for the compliment:)
ScienceMel - our equivalent for that would be pisikesed punase peaga poisid põrutasid piritale purjetama. Or something like that..

If you are faced with the decision of whether to rescue a person from impending danger or take a photo of him in his final moments, the choice for most of us should be clearly easy. But the controversy surrounding the New York Post cover photo of a man about to be struck by an oncoming subway train and the Post photographer who took the photo suggests the decision may not have been as clear-cut. The photographer, R. Umar Abbasi, said he snapped the photos in order to use his camera's flash to alert the train operator, but now has been forced to explain his actions.
Gawker reached out to several experts to ask what they would have done had they been on the scene, and their answers show it's not an easy question to answer. The panel includes photographer and Pulitzer Prize winner Vincent Laforet, University of Maryland lecturer and National Press Photographers Association board of directors member Bethany Swain, and Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalism professor at University of Florida, John Kaplan. Some of the commenters placed the responsibility on the New York Post and would not have ran the photo if it was up to them, while some ponder if a photojournalist should be an impartial reporter or become part of the story.
Check out Gawker's story for the experts' full comments.

It might not happen again for awhile – they have done it only three times in 50 years – but the Mets' starting lineup yesterday was comprised solely of products from the farm system. Elias reported it as the first time in 41 years.
Of course, that will change when Johan Santana and others start, and Andres Torres and Jason Bay return. Nonetheless, it is a positive sign,
In this era of spiraling salaries and considering their financial situation, homegrown talent is the surest form of cost certainty. As the Mets continue to improve, both on the field and in the standings, they'll go to the outside more in the forms of free-agent signings and trades. But, the core has to be the farm system.
The Mets will soon have a decision to make in extending David Wright, which I believe they will. Two, three years down the road if they pan out as expected, the Mets will consider signing guys like Ike Davis, Josh Thole, Lucas Duda and Ruben Tejada to long-term deals as to avoid arbitration and free-agency. This is what they did with Jon Niese.
Building from within is not a new theory and some of the premier examples is what the Yankees did during their run, adding a key homegrown player nearly every year. There was Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada.
Most of the great franchises have a core group from the farm system and this is what the Mets need to do to become an elite team. Now that they appear to have a foundation is why I think they'll keep Wright, who is leading the team in every major offensive category.

The abandoned Ford pickup sat on a prominent commercial lot in Chelsea for so long that a mature pine tree was growing through its roof. For decades, the tree was about the only thing rising in this struggling industrial city, a place that seemed perpetually stuck in the shadows of the Tobin Bridge and unable to attract significant private investment.
But a starkly different mood is starting to prevail in Chelsea. The tree and the pickup truck are gone, replaced by a Wyndham Hotel. Next door is a new Marriott Residence Inn, and the FBI will soon start construction across the street on a 250,000-square-foot local headquarters. Citywide, hundreds of new residences have been built in recent years, and thousands more are planned.
"Not only are we hungry for development here, but the City Council has become addicted to it," said City Manager Jay Ash. "As a result, we've been able to go out to the marketplace and attract quality developers."
The city is benefiting from public investment in transportation and new open space, as well as from an influx of young professionals and other newcomers who are moving into loft-style apartments and frequenting new ethnic restaurants, arts festivals, and retail stores. Last year, Chelsea welcomed its first Starbucks.
"What we're selling in Chelsea is proximity to Boston at a reduced cost," said Ash, noting that the city now has more than 750,000 square feet of office space along the formerly industrial Everett Avenue.
One of the most prominent examples of the changes is a 230-unit apartment development under construction along Route 1. The five-story complex, called One North of Boston, will have a yoga studio, outdoor pool and fire pit, full-service dog day care, and a cavernous two-story lobby with custom light fixtures and a sleek fireplace.
"We wanted to make some loud statements with this project," said Damian Szary, a principal of the joint-venture development group Gate Residential and Transdel Corp.
Gate Residential recently completed construction of a similar development, Maxwell's Green in Somerville. Its principals see Chelsea as another magnet for young people who want to live in the city, but can't afford $3,000-a-month rents to be downtown.
"This location is just too close to Boston for them to pass up," said Szary, who added that apartments will rent for roughly half of downtown Boston prices. "We're one mile as the bird flies from Boston, one commuter rail stop from North Station, and this project has so many features that will make it attractive."
Chelsea has struggled to attract development for decades, due to a toxic mix of financial mismanagement, crime, and blight that left it teetering on the verge of bankruptcy in the early 1990s. It is also saddled with decaying industrial properties that are costly to clean up and redevelop as housing or attractive commercial space.
To be sure, Chelsea is still battling to escape its troubled reputation. But its finances have recovered — the city's bond rating was recently upgraded by Standard & Poor's — and it is attracting millions of dollars' worth of state and federal investment in transportation upgrades and other improvements.
On Tuesday, the Environmental Protection Agency began a $3.1 million cleanup of a contaminated site off Route 1 that will become home to a Holiday Inn.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is contributing land to support the redevelopment project and has begun consideration of a much bigger project: extending the Silver Line bus service to Chelsea. The Silver Line would speed the commute into Boston and open up new development opportunities.
Ash, the city manager, said officials are pushing to have the Mystic Mall redeveloped into a large-scale housing, office, and retail complex.
"The potential exists for the Mystic Mall to turn into 1,000 units or more of residential, along with potential for back-office" businesses supporting Boston's Seaport District, which is already served by the Silver Line.
Since 2005, that dynamic has also spurred construction of more than 1,200 homes in the city, mostly loft-style apartments and condominiums suitable for small families or young professionals.
Among the new developments is the so-called Box District, an area of former warehouses. State and city investments spawned construction of several apartment buildings.
Fitted with classic street lamps and a mix of brick buildings and more modern homes, the neighborhood is a window into the city's redevelopment potential. It is a short walk from the Broadway commercial district and commuter rail stop and includes a new playground and other open spaces. A developer recently started construction of dozens of additional residences at 44 Gerrish Ave.
The developers of the nearby One North of Boston project are also planning a second phase that would include 242 housing units, more than doubling the size of the complex along Route 1.
"I used to have to go knock on doors to get developers to come here," Ash said. "I'm getting calls from developers every day because of the success of the residential development. We're a community a lot of people will have to rediscover again before they believe it's changing, but it's developments like these that are making that happen."Casey Ross can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do To Hair In The Morning
Most morning routines consist of pressing Snooze one-too-many times, frantic searches for clean clothes and a quick wash followed by a comb through the hair.
However apparently that last step is one we should be avoiding at all costs.
Hairdresser to the stars, George Northwood, says under no circumstances should we be brushing our hair in the morning.
George counts Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as one of his clients, and if his advice is good enough for Rosie it's good enough for us!
George says, "Never, ever brush in the morning. For one thing it leads to frizz, and secondly there's always an element of mechanical damage. Use your fingers and you'll be able to feel out any tangles."
George also says the best way to combat any flatness is by applying some dry shampoo and working it into the scalp with your fingertips.
Just think of all that extra time you get to spend in bed every morning by styling your barnet this way.
We will take it!!

Hey guys I'm looking to get back into Tennis. I used to be decent (level 3, 4). I think I can get back into it after some practice. Just looking for some people to hit with locally, all levels are fine. I find that I play better when I play better people so I should be able to hang.

Historically, the pet name for the PGA Championship is "Glory's Last Shot." The major championship taking place this week at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisc. proposes a slightly different twist.
This is Tiger's Last Shot.
Last shot to salvage something meaningful from the depths of a troubled season. Last shot to show he's willing and worthy to be a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Last shot to secure his spot in the top 125 that qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. Last shot to demonstrate he is still some facsimile of the world's best player. Last shot, that is, if Tiger Woods has any shots remaining in his bag.
He certainly had none last week at the Bridgestone Invitational, no game to even suggest he could be competitive in a major championship. On a golf course where he had won seven times, where he had never finished worse than fourth, he finished tied for 78th.
If not for Henrik Stenson playing two shots worse, the Sultan of Swoosh would have finished DFL — i.e. demoralized, frustrated, lost.
"I don't see how it can be fun shooting 18-over par," said Woods, whose score of 298 was the worst he has ever posted in a PGA Tour event.
Frankly, it's difficult to see how it will get much better this week on Pete Dye's "links on steroids" golf course that exposes weaknesses like a black light exposes lint. Even when he was shooting a pedestrian 75 at Pebble Beach in the final round of the U.S. Open — tying for fourth in a championship that was there for the taking — Woods could see "positives."
"I feel like I can play now," Woods said then. "I've got a feel for my game, the shape of my shots, what I'm working on … I feel like I put some pieces together this week."
After he tied for 46th at the AT&T, and then tied for 23rd in the British Open at St. Andrews — where had dominated two previous times — Woods assured us there were "positives."
"The last few weeks, I've been a lot better, but I just need to get where my pace is good and start seeing some putts go in," he said on his way out of Scotland.
There were no positives, in Akron, Ohio, in quote marks or otherwise. There was 74-72-75-77, four rounds above par for the first time on a Woods scorecard since the 2003 PGA. There were no pieces put together, no pleasant pacing, no shots shaping, no putts going in.
The only positive might be that Woods did not cut himself shaving, choosing instead to grow a goatee. You know what they say, if can't find a fairway, grow one.
Here were are in mid-August, heading into the last major of the season, and Woods has yet to top the $1 million mark in earnings. He is 85th on the money list, behind someone named D. A. Points. Woods is 163rd on the PGA Tour in fairways hit, 166th in Greens in Regulation and 129th in putts per round. He is missing fairways, missing greens, missing putts, missing in action.
Woods isn't just human right now, he's a human who doesn't play especially dynamic golf. Jack Nicklaus' 18 professional major championships, a bar that seemed so reachable just a few months ago, no longer seems like a lay-up. Woods will need to find himself before he finds five more majors. Curiously enough, the slide didn't begin in his driveway last November, it began on the back nine of the 2009 PGA Championship.
Since he was overtaken by Y.E. Yang that Sunday at Hazeltine, he lost a major, a wife, a family, a swing coach, a few sponsors, any semblance of a private life and a good deal of dignity.
A year later, for the first time in this decade, it is hard to consider him a favorite coming into a major. Officially, the sports betting books have Phil Mickelson as a 10-to-1 favorites, Woods is next at 12-to-1.
But given the state of his game, if not the state of his mind, he's a sucker's bet. Consider that the last time the PGA was played at Whistling Straits (2004) Woods didn't have nearly as much drama surrounding him, and he was not a factor. He opened that championship with a 75, survived the cut with 69 on Friday, stayed within nine shots of eventual winner Vijay Singh with a Saturday 69, but stumbled in with a Sunday 73. He finished at two-under and tied for 24th.
Woods's scoring average in 2004 was 69.04, a stroke and a-half better than it will be (70.58) as he returns this week. Woods is 119th in the FedEx Cup rankings and ninth in the Ryder Cup standings.
Who would have thought Corey Pavin would be in a position where he would need to spend one of his captain's picks on Woods? Who would have thought Pavin (81st) would be higher than Woods on the PGA Tour money list when team-building time came around? Even Woods appreciates the absurdity.
When asked is he thought he should be added to the U.S. Ryder Cup team, Woods answered, "Not playing like this, definitely not," he said. "I wouldn't help the team if I'm playing like this."
One might argue Woods is not helping himself playing like this. Winning might be the springboard that turns things around for Woods, but losing, and looking ordinary doing it, can't be good for an already battered psyche. There has been enough embarrassment off the golf course, no reason to rub bunker sand in the wound.
Things change in a hurry in golf, sometimes dramatically so. Phil Mickelson tied for 35th the week before the Masters, then captured another green jacket. Graeme McDowell missed the cut at Augusta, then won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. It can happen one month to the next, one day to the next, one round to the next.
But as things stand three days before a ball goes in the freshwater air at Whistling Straits, Woods would do well to pull the plug. He has no business being in the field on a Ryder Cup team, or any other team, and he shouldn't be put Pavin in the difficult position of making that call.
Who wants to be known at the Ryder Cup captain who left Tiger Woods off the team? If Pavin does, and the U.S. wins he will be a genius. But if they lose, he will never hear the end of it. That's a lot of pressure to on Pavin and the U.S. team.
Bottom line is Woods shouldn't be working right now, no matter how large the divorce settlement is. He needs to get his head straight, needs to work on his game, needs to re-invent his brand. All of that will take time.
This week's PGA Championship is Tiger's Last Shot to prove otherwise.

Calendars: It's a great idea to have children keep a calendar to record when and where they saw the first oak leaf, the first tadpole, the first primrose, the first ripe blackberries. Then next year they can pull out the calendar and know when to anticipate seeing these things again, and they can note new discoveries. Imagine how this will add enthusiasm for daily walks and nature hikes! A day won't go by when something isn't seen to excite them.
There are so many ways you can incorporate calendars in your nature study in your homeschool. Here are just a few I came up with.
- Record an observation about "firsts" like Charlotte Mason suggests. (This time of year it could be first red leaf, first yellow leaf or first acorn on the ground, etc.)
- Record the weather. (Is it sunny? Cloudy? Rainy? How much has it rained? What's the temperature?)
- Record the animals you see in your backyard.
- Record how many birds you can spot on your nature walk.
- Record a new plant or animal you identified.
- Record your favorite thing you saw on your nature walk.
- A young child could draw a picture in the square for the day to record something he saw.
In my blog sidebar I have had a Blank Nature Study Calendar for you to download. If you haven't already taken a look at it and used it in your nature study, feel free to do so now. Or you can easily print blank calendar pages using your word processor or by searching for them online.
(PLEASE NOTE: I have changed the link to the calendar to dropbox, and now everyone should be able to get it free with no problems. Thanks!)
Do you use calendars in your nature study?
Do you find this idea helpful?
I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments section.

Lady Gaga Launches Born This Way Foundation, Says She Always Has Empathy
Lady Gaga launched her Born This Way Foundation with her mother Cynthia Germanotta (pictured above -isn't she cute?) at Harvard today (Feb. 29.) Dressed in a chocolate brown, sleeveless dress and a shimmery net hat, Gaga livestreamed the press conference, where she discussed the foundations aims, goals and benefits for the youth.
Essentially, the Mother Monster wants the Born This Way Foundation to enable and empower the youth of today to support one another and to not tolerate things like bullying. It is also Mama G and Mama Monster's first collabo! What a team.
About empowering the youth, Gaga said, "If I can get them to eat hamburgers and talk about it outside of my show, I know it sounds small, but over time, I feel it will be very big." She said that her foundation wants to partner with other organizations with similar initiatives. She doesn't want to exclude anyone, on any level.
The singer also addressed how she herself is the recipient of "hateful messages" via social media outlets, on which she is incredibly active. "I don't talk about it," Gaga said regarding the not-so-nice messages. "Why give it energy?" Perhaps that's why she has not addressed Madonna's somewhat negative statements about her.
Gaga also stated that when she receives a nasty message, she takes a moment to consider the source and feel for them. "I always have a moment of empathy," she said. "I think, 'They must be going through something today.' That is coming from a place of mental turmoil or a psychological challenge. I am not the answer to that, by writing, 'Be a nice person.' That is not going to do anything. Me as a person or you or you or you or anyone, what we can do, is to ignore the negativity and stay positive."
She continued, "If you see someone being negative to someone else, it's okay to intervene. It's all about being a support system. I don't believe one person changes the world. Humankind as a whole can change the world."
The Born This Way Foundation is off to a running start… In six inch heels, of course.

Johnny Fearless created the animated film, called "flight of the stories", which was posted online today and will also air in cinemas.
The ad shows quotation marks growing out the ground and then taking flight across northern France to London, before coming to rest at the Imperial War Museum. The message is that although many soldiers never returned from the war, their stories did.
IWM is also running press, radio and online ads as part of the campaign to promote the new gallery, which opens on 19 July and coincides with the centenary of the start of the First World War.
The campaign was written by Paul Domenet, art directed by Pia Knight and directed by Darren Dubicki through Aardman. Total Media handled the media planning and buying for the press, outdoor, cinema and radio ads, while AKA did the same for the digital display ads.
Penny Hamilton, the head of brand and marketing at IWM, said: "The film is both beautiful and poignant. I think it captures exactly what we were trying to convey – for while it is true that some of the people never made it back from the fighting front, their stories have, and it is our duty at IWM to ensure that they continue to be told. This is what we will be doing in our new First World War Galleries."
This is the first campaign by Johnny Fearless for Imperial War Museums. The agency won a contested pitch to create the advertising for the launch of the WWI gallery in April 2013.

Just like the rest of America, we watched in great amazement last Sunday as Richard Sherman ruined his moment in the sun, seemingly terrified Fox television reporter Erin Andrews and had broadcast producers quickly move their fingers above the kill button in anticipation of a coarse curse word.
In retrospect, Sherman committed no crime in the interview designed for social media eternity, nor did he cross any lines, real or imagined. Egoistical for sure, but the Stanford graduate didn't break new ground for professional athletes.
It didn't take along for Sherman to understand he might have been offensive in his action and he spent this week on an apology tour of sorts. Seattle head coach Pete Carroll did speak with Sherman about the situation, no doubt explaining the post-game tirade overshadowed some fine contributions by teammates.
Carroll might have also reminded Sherman about the financial ramifications (endorsements) the brief burst might have cost him.
But remember, Carroll is somewhat handicapped dealing with an athlete with a multimillion dollar contract. The head coach would have reacted much differently had the incident occurred during his USC tenure, as Carroll would have had more options. Thusly, had Sherman popped off as such after a high school game, the coach's reaction would have taken an altogether different direction.
What flies on the Nasty Fightin' Language level has no place in high school. However, as we've witnessed over the years, what the pro players get away with has a tendency to trickle down to high schools, at least the latest moves. It's at that point head coaches and their assistants, at least those involved with solid programs, take over.
That's why there's much less prancin', dancin' and woffin' on Friday nights than there is on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
While NFL and high-profile collegiate programs provide media training sessions on what to say and how to act, there aren't similar classes in high school. Players are guided by their coaches on the basic premises: Don't disrespect yourself, your team, your school, your town. What goes without saying is a failure to do so is showing disrespect for the coaching staff.
"Basically, the difference is development versus winning," said Bill Zernickow, who guided San Dimas High School to the CIF-SS Mid-Valley Division last fall. "I think, to a degree, those (NFL) coaches are held hostage by players. We work hard on developing our student-athletes on and off the field."
And it shows.
"You've covered lots of high school games," Kaiser head coach Phil Zelaya pointed out. "Seriously, have you ever heard any football player go off like that to a reporter?
"I would be very disappointed if our players acted that way."
And players know what that disppointment would entail. Zelaya wouldn't suspend a player for such conduct; that would be the easy way out. Instead, there are other ways to remind a player on how to behave.
San Gorgonio's Ron Gueringer, whose Spartans reached the CIF-SS Eastern Division semifinals in 2013, has a case in point.
"This past season, we had a player 'raise the roof' after a play," Gueringer said, referring to the practice of pumping the arms toward the sky. "We took him out, explained we didn't do that in our program. He did it again the following week, but we didn't respond.
"On the Monday after the second time, at practice, he spent about two hours 'raising the roof' while the team practiced. After he was finished, he came over and said, 'Those 15 seconds weren't worth two hours.' "
It's doubtful the young man will ever repeat the action during a football game, limiting it to the dance floor.
Gueringer is a 30-year veteran of coaching the sport and has quite a background. He, like Sherman, has inner-city roots, played and graduated from a Pac-12 school. He understands what happened Sunday and works to make sure, just like the majority of his colleagues, not to let his players drop to that level.
Each fall, many former players return to these coaches to reconnect. It's not quite the same with college coaches and rare in the pros.
These men are regarded as father figures by many, and their players don't want to disappoint them. Their lessons are more than just about football, they are carried on through life.
So Sherman gets fined $7,875 for his actions, although the taunting had nothing to do with the televised outburst but rather the choke sign. He can afford it.
Writing a check is much easier than trying to explain it to his high school coaches.

I am an Apple Keynote/Aperture user who desires to create multi image illustrations using a grid in which individual smaller scaned photos are deposited into cells like picture frames - sort of like a school yearbook layout. I have experimented with Master Slides and Tables within Keynote to create these grids but find that they have limitations. My desire is to have a variety of these grids stored and available for use again and again. I am guessing that some software manufacturer makes a variety of template type grids - like the type graphic artists must use - that can be employed within the Apple system. If these do exist it would make my job a lot simpler. So my question is: If this type of software does exist, can someone identify a few examples I might try that would be compatible with the Apple system?

It's a kind of node-based visual compositor/ coding tool, and it's free for OS X, being part of Apple's XCode tools: http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/quartz/quartzcomposer.html I think it should be relatively simple to do what you want to do with it, but depending on your background the learning curve may or may not be too much to be worth it.

Is This the Bloodiest SNL Sketch Ever?
Although SNL is known for frequently pushing the boundaries of good taste, it tends to favor comedy of the sexual and political nature above anything else. That's why a certain sketch on last night's Kristen Wiig-hosted episode proved to be a massive shock -- it's not every day that the longrunning comedy variety show gets violent.
The scene plays more like something out of Monty Python than a traditional SNL scene. Jason Sudeikis plays a man trying out acupuncture for the first time. Wiig and Aidy Bryant play the therapists helping him through the procedure. The gallons and gallons of blood that emerge from Sudeikis' back when everything goes wrong plays itself.
It's a simple and downright disgusting joke that works because everyone involved takes it to such extreme and big places. "Acupuncture therapy goes wrong!" sounds like a pretty typical SNL skit, but "acupuncture therapy goes wrong and drenches the entire set and every actor in the scene with an absurd amount of blood" is actually downright shocking. It's hard to remember the last time SNL did something this disgusting.
It's scenes like this that make us wish SNL would take more bizarre chances.

Anemia is a low level of healthy red blood cells (RBC). RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. When red blood cells are low the body does not get enough oxygen. This can cause symptoms such as fatigue, pale skin, or irregular heartbeat.
There are several specific types of anemia, including:
- Anemia of chronic disease —chronic diseases can slow the production of RBCs
- Aplastic anemia —bone marrow is not able to produce enough RBCs
- Iron-deficiency anemia —iron is a building block of hemoglobin
- Macrocytic B12 deficient anemia and pernicious anemia —B12 is a building block of RBCs
- Sickle cell anemia —RBCs have an abnormal shape that causes destruction of RBCs and low levels of hemoglobin
The main causes of anemia are:
- Blood loss, such as that caused by:
- Heavy menstrual periods
- Bleeding in the digestive tract
- Bleeding in the urinary tract
- Surgery
- Trauma
- Cancer
- Abnormally low RBC production, due to:
- Kidney disease
- Cancer
- Infection
- Medication
- Radiation
- Pregnancy
- Lead intoxication
- Abnormally high RBC destruction, caused by inherited disorders such as:
- Sickle cell anemia
- Thalassemia —difficulty in manufacturing hemoglobin
- Enzyme deficiencies
Risk Factors
Risk factors that may increase your chances of anemia include:
- Women of childbearing age
- Pregnancy
- Older adults with other medical condition
- Infants younger than two years
- Poor diet low in iron, vitamins, and minerals
- Blood loss (eg, due to surgery or injury)
- Chronic or serious illness
- Chronic infections
- Family history of inherited anemia (eg, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia)
Symptoms of anemia may include:
- Tiredness
- Feeling faint
- Paleness
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Coldness in the hands and feet
- Pale skin
- Chest pain
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Other tests may include:
- Tests of your blood:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Other blood tests
- Blood smear
- Stool sample
- Bone marrow aspiration or biopsy
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include:
Your doctor may suggest changes to your diet. The diet may include foods rich in iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and folate. Vitamins or iron supplements may be added.
To help treat your anemia or your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe:
- Antibiotics
- Hormone treatment
- Epoetin
- Medications that act on the immune system
- Chelation therapy (for lead poisoning)
Blood Transfusions
A blood transfusion delivers blood cells from healthy donor blood.
Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplant
This procedure places healthy bone marrow or stem cells in the body. The goal is for the new tissue to produce healthy blood cells. This procedure carries risk. It is only done in severe cases of anemia.
Critical bleeding may be treated with surgery. In cases of very high RBC destruction, your spleen may need to be surgically removed.
Most inherited forms of anemia cannot be prevented. But the following steps may be taken to prevent certain types of anemia:
- Eat a diet rich in iron and vitamins
- Take iron or vitamin supplements, as recommended by your doctor
- Treat underlying causes of anemia
- Report signs and symptoms, especially chronic fatigue, to your doctor

Naruto Shippūden the Movie (劇場版 NARUTO -ナルト- 疾風伝, Gekijōban Naruto Shippūden) is a 2007 film directed by Hajime Kamegaki and written by Junki Takegami. It is the fourth movie in the Naruto movie series. It debuted in Japanese theatres on August 4, 2007. The US DVD release was officially released on November 10, 2009. Before its release, it was announced that the Dubbed DVD can be pre-ordered along with the limited edition of Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. Disney XD aired the movie on Sunday, May 15, 2011. The ending theme song to the movie is Lie-Lie-Lie by DJ OZMA.
The opening scene of the movie showed Naruto fighting a monster, only to be killed by it. The setting then went back to a few days previous, where a man named Yomi (the word literally means "Underworld" in Japanese culture) attacked a shrine, to retrieve the spirit of Mōryō, a demon who attempted to take over the world and create his "Thousand Year Kingdom". Since he was lacking a body, Yomi offered his as a temporary substitute, until they could retrieve Mōryō's original one sealed in a different shrine.
The only threat to Mōryō's plan was a priestess known as Shion, who could seal his spirit away once more. He raised a stone army from their slumber, to attack the rest of the world, while his four subordinates went to murder Shion. They were given special chakra creatures to enhance their strength.
To deal with the threat, Konohagakure sent out many advance teams to stall the stone army. Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Neji Hyūga and Rock Lee were sent to guard Shion, and deliver her to the shrine where Mōryō's body was sealed. They fended off her four would-be assassins, who exhausted themselves in a failed attempt to kill Naruto. Shion told Naruto of his upcoming death; while initially sceptical, her assistant, Taruho, explained that Shion could see the future, and all 100 predictions she had made had come true. As they headed for the shrine, the group was ambushed once again by Yomi's four subordinates, and split into two teams. Lee killed his opponent by eating an alcoholic candy to get him into Drunken Fist, while Naruto was kept busy by his. Neji told Sakura to escape with Shion, unaware that his two opponents were actually just one man and a puppet, to distract him and let the remaining ninja catch up to Sakura and Shion, Sakura was then disabled by the remaining ninja, and Shion was killed.
This turned out to be a ruse: the dead "Shion" was actually Taruho, who transformed himself into a copy of Shion to trick them into thinking they had killed the real one. Shion explained that her power worked by allowing her spirit to jump back in time at the moment of her death, thereby allowing her to avoid it by having someone die in her place. Naruto insisted that he would not die, and likewise would keep Shion safe.
Thanks to Lee, Neji realised that the remaining three ninja must keep replenishing their chakra to battle effectively. Naruto was sent on ahead with Shion, while Sakura and Lee tricked their opponents into wasting their chakra on futile attacks. When they ran out of chakra and they had to replenish it, Neji disabled the final ninja, who was providing the chakra, leaving the other two powerless against Lee and Sakura.
At the mountain temple where Mōryō's body was kept, Naruto and Shion found the stone army waiting. On the first attempt to get pass the army, both Naruto and Shion fell off a cliff. Afterwards, Naruto came up with a plan and promised Shion that he would protect her. Naruto then held the army back using Shadow Clones while Shion headed inside the temple to begin the sealing ritual. Yomi was already inside, and tricked Shion into beginning the technique with him inside the barrier, allowing Mōryō's spirit to reunite with his body. Naruto came to rescue her. About to see her prediction of his death come true, she used her power to change Naruto's fate, intending to kill herself and Mōryō in order to save him. Naruto stopped her seconds before her death, saying that he promised to protect her and used Naruto and Shion's Super Chakra Rasengan, with both their chakra, to destroy Mōryō, creating a volcano where the shrine used to be in the process.
With Mōryō gone, Naruto asked Shion what she intended to do now. She replied that Mōryō was a demon caused by the evil thoughts, and that there was bound to be another Mōryō someday. Because of this, she said that she must continue the line of priestesses, that would suppress demons like Mōryō. Then she asked Naruto if he would help (indirectly asking if he will father her child) to everyone's shock, which a misunderstanding Naruto, happily agreed to.
In its opening weekend, Naruto Shippūden the Movie came in at number six.[1] In its second week the movie dropped to number eight and stayed there in its third week.[2][3]

Asus XG27VQ; 27" of curved Freesync
Subject: Displays | September 22, 2017 - 05:25 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: 27, freesync, Asus ROG Strix XG27VQ, asus, XG27VQ, 1080p, va lcd
To start with the particular specification which will upset some people, the ASUS XG37VQ is a 1080p monitor; so if life starts at 1440p then feel free to move on. For those still reading, this Freesync monitor supports refresh rates from 48 to 144Hz and can display 95% sRGB coverage. Techgage were impressed with the quality of the display but when it came to the RGBs present on the monitor they had some questions; the ROG logo that is projected from the bottom of the monitor only comes in red, while the glowing circle on the back of the display supports a full gamut of colours which no one will ever see. Pop over for the full review.
"Let's cut right to the chase. The Asus ROG Strix XG27VQ is a $350 gaming monitor, 27 inches in size, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. We're looking at a VA LCD panel here with FreeSync support, sporting an 1800R curvature."

Samsung's off kilter 27" LED LCD
Subject: Displays | November 29, 2012 - 01:56 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: T27B750, Samsung, led lcd, 27, 1080p
The look of the Samsung T27B750 is certainly unique, though the size and shape of the footprint may turn out to be inconvenient for some desks. On the other hand it does more than you would expect from your monitor, it has integrated WiFi, internet apps, a built-in browser as well as speakers and it even comes with a remote control. The connectivity is a little questionable as well, there are HDMI, DisplayPort and DSub but it lacks a DVI input which seems odd, though it can be worked around. It is too bad that the display is only 1080p and Tweaknews would have preferred that it be a 120Hz display to support 3D, however it does make a decent jack of all trades.
"With the line between monitors and fully functional TVs becoming blurred with every model release and the ever expanding size of mainstream monitors for home consumers, your average household is rapidly turning to an all in one solution to save space and increase the overall value of their single purchase."

ASUS, please offer us an alternative to IPS displays

Before they even turned the ASUS PB278Q on, Hardware Canucks had formed several opinions about the monitor; on the positive side the stand was very versatile and more stable than other 27" displays but on the negative side was the complete lack of an anti-glare coating. The OSD was quite comprehensive, especially if you contrast it with some of the high definition displays from Korea we have seen recently. The overall performance of monitor was not quite up to the Samsung SyncMaster 27A850 which is another PLS display on the market, however you can get the ASUS display for at least $100 less which may make it the preferred choice of those needing something better than a TN display but can't afford the top model.
"PLS panel technology hasn't been around for all that long but it has already made a lasting mark upon the display market. ASUS' new PB278Q puts this technology to good use in a 27" 2560 x 1440 WQHD monitor that is targeted towards gamers and professionals alike."

The Dell All-in-One
Reviewers, at times, can be somewhat myopic. I speak for myself in this particular instance. My job as a writer is to test hardware on a daily basis, and as such I have a very keen understanding (or so I hope) of the intricacies of computer design. If I need to build a machine, whether for test purposes or something that my wife can play Song Pop on, I have a near infinite variety of components that I can choose from to fit the needs of the project. As such, we often forget that not everyone has that level of expertise. Most people, in fact, just want to be able to buy something that not only fits their needs, but also simply just has to work.
Dog is unimpressed with packaging. UPS complained profusely though.
This is the reason why we have the Dells, HPs, and Lenovos of the world. The vast majority of people out there are unwilling to build their own machine and support it themselves. They neither have the time nor patience to dive in and learn the ins and outs of a modern PC and the software that runs them. This is not a bad thing. Just as I do not have the patience to learn how to sew, I still like wearing clothes. At least during our podcasts. For the most part.
We must also admit that we are moving well away from the typical beige box that dominated the 90s and early 2000s. Manufacturers have a much better eye for not only functionality, but also aesthetics. No longer do we have the hulking CRTs of yesteryear, and neither do we have the large boxes that are nearly indistinguishable from one or another. Multiple form factors abound and these large manufacturers have design teams that pay very close attention to things like compatibility, power consumption, and thermal dissipation. With these things in mind, they are able to create unique devices that not just serve the needs of consumers, but also just simply work.
Apple has been at the forefront of this type of design for quite some time. This is a company that has prized fit, finish, and functionality far more than they have pursued cost cutting and homogenization. This has lead to much higher margins for the company, and a nearly rabid following by the people buying their platforms. We certainly can argue that they probably perfected the "all-in-one" machine back in the Macintosh days, and since that time they have not stood still. The iMac was a further advancement in that field, but the introduction of relatively inexpensive and large LCD panels allowed them to further shrink the all-in-one. It also allowed them to further sculpt the design into what we see today.
Everything is nicely supported in the box.
Obviously people around the industry have noticed this trend, and noticed the devoted following of the Apple consumers. It is hard to miss. The world is a big place though, and surely there are people who crave the type of design that Apple pushes, but do not necessarily want to jump on that particular bandwagon. Dell has recognized this and created their XPS One lineup of products. Not everyone wants to run OSX and pay the Apple tax. If this is the case for a reader, then this might be the product that catches their attention.

Super Plane-to-Line Switching from Samsung

Tagged: Samsung, S27B970D, Super IPS, 2560x1440, 27
Super PLS is Samsung's attempt to improve IPS displays, they suggest that this technology will provide better brightness and viewing angles as well as lowering production costs, the latter benefit perhaps being the most attractive. At a selling price of $1000 this might be hard to believe as is the 4th most expensive 27" on NewEgg right now. ModSynergy also ran into issues trying to use the onboard speakers as HDMI cannot provide the maximum resolution of 2560x1440 and while using Dual-DVI you can get sound because there is no dedicated sound input jack. See if it is worth the investment by checking out their full review.
"Today we look at Samsung's second integration of Super PLS technology in their lineup with this time the Series 9 S27B970D. What a great follow-up to the Series 8 S27A850D we had for you one month ago. It will be interesting to see and pinpoint the differences between both models aside from the higher price tag. One of the key differences being pushed off the bat by Samsung is the built-in calibration engine and factory professional tuning that the Series 9 S27B970D offers out of the box for unmatched visual experience, according to Samsung."

Just Delivered: Achieva Shimian 27" 2560x1440p Display
Subject: Displays | June 27, 2012 - 06:15 PM | Ken Addison
Tagged: yamakasi, shimian, korean, just delivered, catleap, achieva, 27, 1440p
If you've been paying attention to either the PC Perspective Podcast or This Week in Computer Hardware for the past few weeks, our talk of a new crop of low cost, 2560x1600, 27" monitors rising out of South Korea has been unavoidable.
Well, late last week I decided that it was time I get out of the 1080p era, and into the world of higher resolution displays.
After an impressive shipment time of only 3 days, I recieved a package directly from Seoul this afternoon, and rushed straight to the office to open it and inform PC Perspective readers.
For those of you not in the know, we recieved a tip a few weeks back from a reader about inexpensive 2560x1440 displays popping up on eBay for around $350. Of course this excited the staff at PC Perspective, and we immediately went into research mode, looking for all of the information we could find about these displays. While the initial impressions we saw all over forums were generally positive, we decided to give these displays the real PC Perpsective review treatment.
While the Yamakasi Catleap is the most well known of these monitors, I decided to go with the $315 (Shipped!) Achieva Shiminan, for reasons to be expanded upon later in the full review.
However, before we began our strenuous testing process, I wanted to give the dedicated PC Per readers a sneak peak of such an interesting product. Out of the box, we hooked it up an AMD Radeon 7950 on our GPU testbed, which had no issues at all.
Also, just because the poorly translated eBay listings said it would not work, despite our best inclinations, I plugged this display into my Late 2011 MacBook Air with Intel HD 3000 graphics. Even using the not so reliable Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI adapter, my MacBook detected the display with no issue. While I certainly won't be gaming on this machine, the display has been working flawlessly so far.
I know readers must have a million questions about these displays, so feel free to leave them in the comments of this post, and I will try to address them all in the full review coming soon!
HP's inexpensive high resolution 27" display
Subject: Displays | April 5, 2012 - 03:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: hp, 27, ZR2740w, ips display, led backlight
It may seem odd to refer to a $680 monitor as a really great deal but that is exactly what the HP ZR2740w is. Finding a new 27" 2560x1440 IPS display with LED backlighting for under $1000 is well nigh impossible, even finding a used one for around $700 is a rare find. HP has done what no other company has though, cutting costs by removing HDMI and speakers as well as not including an OSD. They did not skimp on the quality of the display however, with a very good response rate for an IPS display as well as a very good colour gamut. AnandTech does warn you that the lack of OSD controls, having a colourometer to calibrate the monitor properly is very important.
"We finally have our first real affordable 27", high resolution display on the market now, and it comes courtesy of HP. The HP ZR2740w is a 27" IPS panel with 2560x1440 resolution (16:9 aspect ratio) and an LED backlighting system. With a street price that comes in at $700 or below, what has HP done to be able to bring a high resolution display to the masses at a price well below other vendors? Thankfully, they provided me with a unit so I could evaluate it and see."

ASUS offers an all in one NVIDIA 3D display package
Subject: Displays | March 13, 2012 - 12:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: VG278H, tn lcd, asus, 3d display, 27
For those who would like to take advantage of NVIDIA's 3D gaming technology, a good place to start is the ASUS VG278H 27" 3D display. While it is $650 it comes with NVIDIA's 3D Vision 2 glasses and 3D LightBoost thanks to the LED back lighting. In this case a TN monitor makes sense as it gives a quick response rate and the viewing angle matters less as your 3D glasses also have a very limited sweet spot. Hardware Canucks did feel that 27" is a bit large for 1080p resolution but that is part of what keeps the price low compared to other 3D displays and they did notice crosstalk, a problem which plagues many 3D displays. If you feel the need to game in 3D you could do worse than the ASUS VG278H.
"Being one of the first 120Hz capable 27" monitors, the ASUS VG278H caused a stir when it was first announced alongside NVIDIA's 3D Vision 2. Even though it incorporates a TN panel and a resolution of only 1920 x 1080, its price is low enough to be tempting for anyone that wants stereoscopic capabilities without breaking the bank."

More than just a monitor, Samsung's C27A750 27" LCD is a wireless station

Tagged: wireless, tn lcd, samsung C27A750, Samsung, 27
The Samsung C27A750 27" Central Station Wireless Monitor is a 27" 1080p TN LCD monitor which is intended to solve your wiring problems. It sports HDMI and D-sub for video, along with a wireless USB 2.0 dongle but there are also a pair of USB 3.0 ports, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, a 3.5mm jack for speakers and a network port. Essentially it mimics a multifunctional dock while also being a 27" monitor which can be connected wirelessly to a PC. As positive as this multi-functional base sounds, Hardware Canucks were disappointed with its physical stability as the base is the same size as the 24" model. Their testing revealed good points and bad points about the display and dock, perhaps the biggest being that you should not even consider gaming over the wireless connection. As well, a 27" display at 1080p is not optimal but for use as a secondary display with a laptop, netbook or even smart phone the dock and wireless capabilities are impressive.
"During this year's CES, Samsung debuted their Central Station technology which promised to combine an all in one connectivity and networking hub into a high performance monitor. This centralized approach will surely appeal to notebook, tablet and netbook users since it can expand screen real estate while eliminating the need to attach unwanted wires to an otherwise quick setup. One of the first products to feature Central Station technology is the C27A750 27" monitor."

My mom just lost her cat a few months ago, and is starting to think about possibly adopting a dog. She's definitely not in any rush right now, we're just starting to talk about it. In the past, we'd toyed with the idea of her adopting an older adult or senior dog -- male/female, doesn't matter -- but healthy. My mom is in her 50's, my grandma (who lives with her) is in her 80's. They both WALK. They love to walk, walk, walk! So an older, but calmer dog, who can still walk longer distances is preferred.
While my mom does have some experience with a highly DA dog, having been Kane's "dogwalker" back in the day when I was single and had to work long hours (poor lady), she'd definitely prefer a dog who is tolerant of others. Only to avoid problems on walks -- I highly doubt my mom would ever have/want a multiple dog household. She just comes over to our house and visits/spoils all her "granddogs" when she needs a fix!
Basically, I've browsed some of the rescue section, and it seems most dogs in our area advertised are always puppies. I kinda just wanted to put this out there in the event a rescue had an older dog they were looking to place. My mom may just be looking for her perfect fit soon!
Possibly ISO Adult/Senior APBT -- VA
Why buy from a breeder when there are plenty of homeless pups in shelters???

Re: Possibly ISO Adult/Senior APBT -- VA
Darn it! Jelly Belly/Ellie would have been awesome.... but we found a pretty amazing family for her. I will keep on the lookout!
Re: Possibly ISO Adult/Senior APBT -- VA
There are two seniors at the shelter down here (I'm just a little ways over the bay bridge on the eastern shore) who have been there for awhile. I have not met these dogs personally, but if they look interesting to you I'd be glad to stop by and check them out for you! Transport help always available too, I make frequent trips to Baltimore.

Re: Possibly ISO Adult/Senior APBT -- VA
If she's willing to medicate Maggie's ears once a week she's a wonderful candidate. She is really really sweet, great with all people, good with other dogs. Doesn't care for cats but isn't out for blood. She just gives them dirty looks and growls if they come up to her crate. She's having surgery this week to remove some lumps and bumps but she's otherwise healthy. She's about 5 or 6. I thought there was something up with her hips but the vet said she was just "pregnancy loose" and should tighten back up, her rib cage was really spread but that's already gone down. She was a late spay so.... no negative comments please, it was for the best.
She's Steele's mother (at least I think), Steele from the "Fathead anyone" thread. They were found running loose together.
She's being fostered in Richmond VA in a home with 4 other dogs and two cats.

Wow, I didn't expect results so fast! Thanks, everyone -- we will definitely keep everyone updated on my mom's progress with possible adoption. She's one of those people who wants/needs to make sure everything is in order before bringing a dog home. I commend her for it.
