It actually took me years to get both boys interested in hockey. As a life long hockey fan.....that was frustrating! But worth it! For years we used to go to games alone because Dan hated hockey. It was cool! It was something we could do on our own. They fished with Dan, went railfanning with Dan...finally...something WE could do! Then.....Dan decided to like hockey! Now it's a family affair! That's fine...but I kind of liked it before.
Now, both boys play hockey for the hell of it. It's such a great sport. I just love it!

Type: Y-Chromosome
Haplogroup: R1b (M343)
My STRs
DYS393: 13 DYS439: 11 DYS388: 13 DYS385a: 11
DYS19: 14 DYS389-1: 11 DYS390: 25 DYS385b: 14

The Results
Above are results from the laboratory analysis of my Y-chromosome. My DNA was analyzed for Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), which are repeating segments of my genome that have a high mutation rate. The location on the Y chromosome of each of these markers is depicted in the image, with the number of repeats for each of my STRs presented to the right of the marker. Studying the combination of these STR lengths in my Y Chromosome allows researchers to place me in a haplogroup, which reveals the complex migratory journeys of my ancestors. Y-SNP: In the event that the analysis of my STRs was inconclusive, my Y chromosome was also tested for the presence of an informative Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). These are mutational changes in a single nucleotide base, and allow researchers to definitively place me in the R1b (M343) genetic haplogroup.

Scenes from COSI's "Genetic Counseling: The Faces of Genetic Disease" interactive "Experts" videoconference program for grades 9-12.
Here, Matt Pastore, pediatric genetic counselor at The Regional Genetics Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, discusses with remotely-connecting high school classrooms how genetics affects all of our lives.
In pediatric genetics, children with various birth defects, delays, and/or significant family history are evaluated to determine if they have an underlying genetic cause. Genetic counseling for several common conditions will be presented, including risk assessment, genetic testing, and psychosocial counseling.

Color of Life note Color Conceals:
White alligators are prime example of what happens when color does not conceal. Albinism (total lack of pigment) results from a genetic change which puts the alligators at great risk because they are easy to spot by predators in their environment. Ref. California Academy of Sciences Color of Life Exhibit 2015
TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata (presense of a notochord (an internal skeletal rod that provides support) during some stage of the animal's development).
Class: Reptilia (snakes, worm lizards, lizards, alligators, caimans, crocodiles, tortoises, turtles, and tuataras).
Order: Crocodylia (crocodiles, alligators, caimans and the gharial).
Family: Alligatoridae (Alligators and Caimans).
Genus/species: Alligator mississippiensis
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Alligators have a muscular laterally flattened tails for propulsion and defense. Dorsally their skin is armored bony plates called osteoderms and scutes. They have four short legs with five toes on the front and four on the back. The snout is broad with upper facing nostrils to aide in breathing while major portion of the body is under water.
Differences between alligators and crocodiles:
1. Alligators tend to have wide, U-shaped, rounded snouts, while crocodiles tend to have longer, more pointed, V-shaped snouts.
2. The large lower fourth tooth of an alligator fits into a socket in the upper jaw and is not seen when the mouth is closed, whereas in crocodiles this tooth is visible.
3. Alligators live in freshwater; crocodiles tend to inhabit salt water.
4. On average alligators are smaller than crocodiles.
Alligators have between 74 and 80 teeth, which are replaced as they wear down; an alligator can go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.
The average alligator adult size for a female is 2.6 m (8.2 ft) and for males is 3.4 m (11.2 ft). Exceptionally large males can weigh over 450 kg (1000 pounds).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT; Southeastern United States, from North Carolina to the Rio Grande in Texas. Habitat: Usually found in freshwater, especially in slow-moving rivers. They are also found in swamps, marshes, and lakes. They can tolerate salt water only briefly. They dig gator holes for use during low water periods in the summer.
DIET IN THE WILD: Alligators eat almost anything, but primarily consume fish, birds, turtles, mammals and amphibians.
Alligators spin on their long axis to rip off bite sized portions small enough to swallow when eating large animals such as deer.
Since they are ectothermic their need for food is decreased allowing them to survive without food for up to 3 years.
they are a mild threat to humans with approximately one death every 5 years reported between 1973-1990.
ACADEMY DIET: Claude is generally fed combination of small chickens, large rats, fish and a special micronutrient gel.
He is fed once a week always associated with a training session receiving 1-2 pounds of food per week. 4-14-18
REPRODUCTION: The temperature at which American alligator eggs develop determines their sex. Eggs which are hatched at 90 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit become males, while those at 82 to 86 degrees Fehrenheit become females. Intermediate temperature ranges yield a mix of both male and females. The hatchings grow rapidly, averaging over 1 foot of growth for each year of life. Both sexes reach sexual maturity at around 6 feet in length,
LONGEVITY: Wild: 35 to 50 years, captivity: 65 to 80 years.
CONSERVATION: IUCN Least Concern (LC), Some limited hunting is allowed in some states.
REMARKS: The California Academy of Sciences has one white pink eyed albino alligator born on 9-15-1995.
Recent Claude stats
2010 length 2.6m (8.5 feet), weigh 82 kg (181 pounds).
6-10-12 length 9.0 feet, weight 190 pounds.
6-10-13 length 9.5 feet, weight 222 pounds.
Claud's vision is poor because of lack of pigment which protects the eye from ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Leucistic alligators are are also genetically recessive but often have some dark patches on their white bodies. They have blue or brown eyes color thus are not albinos.

yeah, thats what we are studyng in bio.
genetic mutation.
i found a duck with 3 feet!
hahaha.
it was weird.
C:
This is the rarest color variant they can be. Dark Orangish Tan wings/body & bright green eyes. They don't change later into these color variations because of environmental factors or sex type, they are born with them. I posted some juveniles previously this year as well. I'm so fortunate to see these two years in a row now!
Juvenile I saw earlier in the year:

The Oblong-Winged katydid (Amblycorypha oblongifolia) is a species of katydid, or bush-cricket, of the family Tettigoniidae (long-horned grasshoppers).
The color of the Oblong-Winged katydid is either green, tan, pink, or a dark tan or orange. Green is the most common amongst this species of katydid. Pink and tan are rare, but dark tan or orange is very rare. The origin of the unusual color stem from genetics, not from gender, age, or environment. The color is apparent from birth, and throughout their life.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblycorypha_oblongifolia
Yellow color variant at Bug Guide - bugguide.net/node/view/139882
Many more color variations:
Oblong-winged katydids (Amblycorypha oblongifolia) at the Insectarium in New Orleans. These color variants are found in nature, though anything but green is usually eaten by predators immediately. The Insectarium has been a leader in breeding these color variants for display in the zoo community.

www.justgiving.com/fundraising/BarefootAcrossBritain
I had the pleasure of joining Chris and his companions for the day, from Paxton to RAF Wyton in Cambridgeshire.
Please consider donating to such a worthy cause, and supporting Chris' stoic efforts.
Thank you.
Greenpeace activists dressed as GMO "monster crops" accompanied by "mad scientists" storm the Department of Agriculture. Greenpeace together with other concerned organizations are demanding the Philippine government to "stop GMO invasion" by cancelling all commercialization and field trials of genetically-modified organisms in the country.
The Department of Agriculture, responsible for regulating GMOs, has never denied approval for any GMO crop. Greenpeace contends that GMOs are dangerous to human health, biodiversity and farmers’ livelihoods.

Was experimenting with some 2 month old seedlings this year and my purpose was to try to get a seedling to flower under 6 months..
My next door neighbor - he is 94 years old,
live alone in his big house - walks back and forth to the shopping senter - about half an hour, twice a day.
Hope I have som of his genes.....
