Antmanbee! I had one of those! It was called something like SixFinger, but it was in the spy genre, I think a take off from Goldfinger. You held it like a gun but the barrel looked like a finger. It had several different projectiles that you inserted into the end and were spring-loaded so that the trigger shot them with some force.
One recent Saturday, I put my younger son down for a nap and had just sat down on the couch with a book and a cup of tea when my 5yo came into the room. "I'm bored, Mom. What can we do?"
We? I thought. I don't know about you, but I'M enjoying a nice quiet moment to myself.
What I said was: "Buddy, we just got back from the school fair. I'm going to relax for an hour. You go find something to do by yourself. You can color, read your new magazine, do whatever you want as long as it's quiet."
"Okaaayyy," he sighed, slumping away.
I am happy to say that in our house, the B word is used infrequently. "This is boring, I'm bored," are relatively new phrases around here. Partly, I blame kindergarten. After five jam-packed days of fun and learning and snacks and gym and friends, it IS pretty underwhelming to sit at home while your little brother sleeps and your mom reads.
SAN FRANCISCO — Warming temperatures are having a significant impact on the distribution and health of plants in arctic and tropical regions, according to recent studies that rely on long-term satellite records to study the changes.
Researchers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., used Landsat Earth imaging satellite data to determine how plants in Northern Quebec were responding to warming temperatures.
"Most of the landscape showed an increase in greening, but that increase was not uniform across different types of land cover," said Doug Morton, principal investigator of the study and a NASA Goddard researcher.
Grasses and shrubs exhibited the greatest gains overall, but only about half of the specific types of grasses and one-third of the shrubs showed positive results, Morton said.
The results of the NASA study offer evidence of the complex job facing scientists trying to understand how various ecosystems are responding to climate change. "Not only are different types of plants responding to the recent increase in summer temperatures in different ways, but not all shrubs and grasses are responding the same way," Morton said.

Speech therapy is a vitally important service in the lives of many people. Communication is such a key factor in being able to get by in everyday life and have real independence. When someone has serious speech problems that make basic communication difficult or even impossible, it can cause a good deal of frustration and take away much of their freedom. Speech therapy jobs consist of teaching people with speech problems how to communicate to the best of their ability. The problem may be developmental or due to an accident or health issue like a stroke, and it is the speech therapist's job to set out a treatment plan and implement it. Some people with swallowing problems may also benefit from the care of a good speech therapist.

We have been working on a simple Valentine's Day parent gift this week and have it pretty much all wrapped up and ready to go…
I just love puzzles and when I found these large 12 piece puzzles over at United Arts and Education, I decided to pick up a set and hold on to them until I could decide what to do with them…
I gave each child their own puzzle and set out lots of different colors of paint…
Before going to the table, I showed the children how they could use the paint to color each piece of their puzzle a different color. Then I invited the children to the table to give this painting process a try…
The children shared the paint colors with each other. I always enjoy hearing, "Can you pass me the blue paint please?"…

The Illinois Math and Science Academy, a residential high school for gifted kids in Aurora, IL is now 20 years old. It appears to be well-established. The newly appointed school president is actually the former Illinois state superintendent of schools. But none of this could have been predicted when Stephanie Pace Marshall, IMSA's first president, helped establish the school. She recently decided to step down, and this article from the Chicago Tribune talks about her legacy.
1. My best clients are people who work for their money, like teachers, bartenders and cops. Rich people think they're doing you a favor by allowing you to scrub their toilets. Working people understand you are doing them a service by making their lives easier.
2. I wish you wouldn't insist on bleach and other harsh cleaners. For almost every situation, there's an eco-friendly option that's just as effective.
3. After I leave, check the base of the toilet and the top of the fridge. If they're clean, you know I'm thorough.
4. Many cleaning companies do not run any sort of background check or even check references. I answered an ad, I was on time and presentable, and I was willing to take the job. That is all most companies care about.
5. Even though I smile and act interested, don't use me as your therapist, gossip buddy or friend. Frankly, most of us have a lot less than you, and we can't fathom why you're complaining. Plus, you slow me down.

With theatrical makeup, especially prosthetics, removal can be as intensive as application. The brief time spent in a makeup removal chair—dousing the afflicted areas with thinning agents and chemicals—is often merely phase one of what is days of picking glue and paint chips from your skin and hair. Although sometimes irritating, I find this stretch of character shedding enjoyable: uncovering hidden gobs of glue lurking behind an earlobe, or impressive, florescent stowaways up a nose hole, is akin to finding money under a sofa cushion. These finds should be shared and treasured with family and friends.
Years ago, I acted in a play that ran on weekends. Every Saturday, I'd be lacquered with facial prosthetics for the role. By Friday of each week, I'd finally have picked off all the sticky scraps and residual bits from the former week's show only to have the process repeated for curtain.

Mark Bennett's delightful story of how his son acquired Barry Larkin's autograph reminded me of how Number Two son scored the signature of Mike Ditka.
It was back in the days before sports stars began charging kids who wanted them to sign a program. Number Two was 9 years old and our Number One Bears fan in training. My Best Friend's colleague had a student from Rensselaer where the Bears held pre-season training.
Making good on a promise, the student phoned to alert colleague Harry to the date the Bears would scrimmage the College All Stars. Harry called my BF and there was no way they could leave Number Two son behind — especially not when there was a chance he might see his hero, Ditka.
By Frank Car: Okay, okay. Just… okay. Enough. Now it looks like Mayweather vs Pacquiao will not be happening anytime soon unless things change quite quick, and it seems like Cotto is going to be in the mix somewhere, against either Mayweather or Pacquiao. But still no Mega-Fight. So… this is the effort that was put into "giving the fans what they want."
Negotiations were ongoing then things in a snag and "Money" May went to work even to do so much as to personally call Pacquiao on the phone. Well, that got the job done right? Probably would have except for Mayweather somehow, thinks he deserves more than 50%. In fact the deal rumored that he offered to Pacquiao was a straight 40M (million) cut. Estimates say it could generate another 150M on top of that. So more than 50% is putting it lightly. Bob Arum — pacquiao's promoter, who has been no angel in his constant variation, of quite honestly, bs stories — came back with a clever counter offer than would give Mayweather a 45M guaranteed straight cut. Which of course is more a joking ploy then it is a counter offer, because Mayweather knows he could make much more than that.

Grow in your surroundings
If you are like most folks around, if you think of somebody changing the numbers on a car or truck odometer or what's frequently referred to as roll back you picture somebody truly rolling back the numbers. Now this may possibly have been the case in decades long past but times and technology have changed given that then simply because for one thing now there is digital odometers. Digital signifies that the numbers cannot be rolled back.
The field of optometry is growing rapidly due to modern advances in ophthalmology. Therefore, whether one is considering the position as a first career or wishes to change careers, the possibility of becoming an optometrist is worthy of serious consideration. The optometrist salary range will vary from state to state, but the overall job outlook for the position is positive in most areas of the country.
An optometrist is a skilled health care professional who examines patients' eyes, diagnoses vision problems, and recommends the appropriate corrective devices for those with poor eyesight. However, such professionals are not general health care practitioners and therefore do not treat serious illnesses. Rather, their scope of practice is limited to the aforementioned functions as well as the treatment of minor conditions of the eye. Should a serious eye disorder occur, an ophthalmologist must be consulted.
Optometrists primarily evaluate patients for the presence of presbyopia, astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness. In addition, they determine if the person has adequate depth perception, and if his or her eyes have the ability to coordinate and focus as they should. Optometrists also screen for color-blindness.
The habit of cigarette smoking is a harmful practice to a consumer, to the people around you and most importantly to the surroundings. It has been reported that, very soon the tight laws of banning smoking will become harder than they are now because the majority of the tobacco companies have already lost the fight against the individuals who support the banning act. The only remaining hope is thus for the consumers who will switch to the habit of the smokeless cigarettes. This is so because the electronic cigarettes do away with the strong scent emitted during the act of smoking making it possible for the consumers to smoke anywhere and anytime they feel like.
Of all the food and beverage choices you face every day, what's calorie-free, virtually cost-free, and, oh yes, essential to keeping you alive? Plain water. But those aren't the only reasons to drink it.
"Water drives basic body performance," says Beth Reardon, director of nutrition for Duke Integrative Medicine, part of the Duke University Health System. "All of the systems in the body require water for proper functioning, and so do 90 percent of all chemical reactions in the body."
Here are the top five reasons to quench your thirst with water.
It will help you de-stress
Why: Being sure to sip water throughout a stressful day can soothe stress-induced symptoms as diverse as headaches, tense muscles, fuzzy thinking, a pounding heart, and low energy. That's because stress taxes all your basic body systems -- and when you're dehydrated, the effects are magnified.
Given that more than half your body weight is water, Reardon says, "just a 2-percent reduction in hydration has a dramatic impact on energy levels and cognitive function." And dehydration further raises levels of cortisol -- the "stress hormone."
Water won't wash your stressors away. But it can provide you with more energy, ease tension, slow breathing, and reduce the strain on your heart.
I just got an e-mail from Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington. Mr. Hillier is one of the MPPs trying to get Ontario's anti-Pit Bull legislation repealed. He's asking for supporters to submit positive Pit Bull stories to his site, Bring Back the Bulls.
From Mr. Hillier:
Dear friend,
Pit bulls are not only some of our best friends, but they are saviours of some of us as well.
Norton the pit bull from Waterloo loved his "mum". When his owner was bit by a spider, causing her to go into anaphylactic shock, he frantically woke up his "dad", saving his "mum". For his heroism, he was inducted into the Purina Animal Hall of Fame.
