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.

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 14, 2012 [Christian Newswire] — An amazing passage concerning the universe recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls has been confirmed by the Hubble Telescope, according to a new book being released at New York City's BookExpo America this summer.
The book retraces the history of the telescope, and is based on Hubble's discoveries made over the past two decades. It reveals how Hubble has photographed the greatest cinematic drama in human history, while at the same time confirming what the ancient prophet Isaiah recorded over two millennia ago about the unimaginable energy source behind the universe.
