Rutger has recently taken part in the FishLove campaign, an internet initiative aiming at 'saving our oceans from overfishing, one photograph at a time'. Fishlove is a series of striking images which is now at the heart of a global movement to protect our seas from destructive fishing practices. The portraits, featuring celebrated individuals with fish, have succeeded in raising significant awareness for campaigns such as Marine Conservation Society, OCEAN2012, Deep Sea Coalition, The End of the Line, and Blue Marine Foundation. The collapse of fish stocks is an environmental catastrophe that is seen by scientists as being as important as climate change. But the good news is that with the right political measures over the next five years, our seas can survive for generations to come. More info on the FishLove website.

It tells the story of Bianca, a young woman who must face her parents' death and start a long and dark voyage through poverty and prostitution. But this downfall into the lumpen becomes a trip to adulthood, a clumsy and dangerous way to mourn, to accept death and face the future'.

Meet Jimmy Smith From 'American Idol' Season 12
Nashville's own Jimmy Smith is rumored to be one of the hopefuls traveling to Hollywood for his big break in the upcoming Season 12 of 'American Idol,' which is set to debut on Wednesday, Jan. 16.

Smith's music is already available on iTunes, but was released on his own independent label.
Nothing has been confirmed, but its been speculated that Smith is one of the Top 20 male finalists who will compete in front of Keith Urban and his fellow 'American Idol' judges during the Hollywood rounds. Does Smith have what it takes to be the next country music superstar? Tune in on Jan. 16 to find out!

Memory Cloud Trafalgar Square
Memory Cloud is a participatory ephemeral light environment that was commissioned by the London Institute of Contemporary Arts and was named one of the top ten international public art projects by the Daily Telegraph. Installed in the city's Trafalgar Square in October 2008, Memory Cloud was based on smoke signals – one of the oldest forms of visual communication – and for three nights the public was invited to participate by sending text messages that were grafted onto plumes of smoke. Fusing ancient and contemporary forms of communication, Memory Cloud created a dynamic hybrid space that projected personal statements as part of an evolving text, animating the built environment through conversation.
Interaction was facilitated through mobile phones allowing for an open, personal and easily accessible medium for collective participation. This means of communication allowed for conversational forms of interaction
to evolve, transforming the space of Trafalgar Square into an active stage for observation and participation. Over three nights, a total of 1,500 messages were publicly projected.
Memory Cloud examines the systemic interplay between participants, context (Trafalgar Square) and the environment. A network of seven smoke signals created an arena of airborne projection fog that was in a constant state of formation. The materialisation of the project was formed through light as the principal inscription device, articulating infinite variability and seamless transformations in an evolving typographic construction. Messages were continually re-formed as the space of projection was grafted onto atmospheres of shape-shifting volumes of fog. This fog allowed the text to change scales and incarnations along the driftscape of projected light. Accelerating air flow increased rates of dissipation further by transforming the volume and density of the space of projection. The observers' spatial perception continually pursued dynamic stability through forms of legibility in motion perception.
Memory Cloud evolved following other prototypes installed as public interventions under the name Smoke Signals. The first of these took place in Bentwaters airbase in Suffolk as part of the Faster than Sound festival in 2006. The second, a year later in Bristol, stimulated communication through two distinct spaces – in a public plaza outside the Watershed Media Centre in the heart of the harbour and in the Pro-Cathedral (a derelict parish church), accompanying a performance of Pendulum Music by composer Steve Reich.

State of the Franchise
It's only second year on the Toronto beat, but I'm already getting used to the signs of spring. The annual State of the Franchise event took place on Thursday night downtown. After the function concluded, the reality that Spring Training is practically here hit me. I get on a plane on Wednesday morning, land in Tampa that afternoon, and the marathon that is the 2007 season will begin.
First things first, though, I'll fill you all in on some things that came up tonight. As usual, there were some minor tidbits that didn't make it into the general story.
ZAMBRANO WATCH: Maybe the biggest "news" of the night, which wasn't earth-shattering by any means, was that Victor Zambrano could be available sooner than expected. This doesn't mean that he'll be ready to jump into the mix for a rotation spot this spring, but Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi did indicate that the righty could potentially be ready by May.
"I think Zambrano's a little further ahead than maybe even we thought," Ricciardi said. "I'm not saying he's going to make the team in April, but he may be closer to pitching in May than we thought. He's got great work ethic and he's really pushing himself. We're probably going to have to pull the reigns on him a little bit."
If healthy, Ricciardi said Zambrano could be the guy they've been looking for to replace the 180-odd innings that Ted Lilly provided out of the No. 3 spot of the rotation. Consider that Zambrano is 45-41 with a 4.45 ERA in his career, and won 12 games for the '03 Devil Rays team that finished with 99 losses. Lilly is 59-58 with a 4.60 ERA in his career.
ROGER THAT: One season-ticket holder at tonight's event asked Ricciardi if the Jays had any interest in Roger Clemens. Here's what the GM had to say on the subject:
"He's 44 years old. At some point, the train comes to a stop," Ricciardi said to a mixed reaction from the crowd. "He's a great pitcher, and could he help us? Definitely. There's no doubt about it. But I don't think Toronto is on his map. I think he wants to go to either New York or stay in Houston, where he lives.
"The other thing is it'd be really hard for us, with the good young players that we have, to bring a player in and allow him to go home on weekends and not travel with the team. Not that he hasn't earned that, but I think in our environment, it wouldn't set the greatest example. And I dont think he's as interested in us as maybe we would be in him."
2B OR NOT 2B: Just because Toronto found a temporary way to keep Aaron Hill at second base this season — signing shortstop Royce Clayton to a one-year deal — doesn't mean playing short is out of the young infielder's future. Ricciardi said that it's not out of the realm of possibility that Russ Adams could become Toronto's second baseman in 2008, moving Hill back over to shortstop.
Adams was Ricciardi's first pick as Toronto's GM during the First-Year Player Draft in 2002. So, when Adams became the Jays' starting shortstop in 2005, he was in his fourth professional season. Ricciardi said on Thursday that, if they had been more conservative with Adams, this year might've been his first in the Majors. So while Toronto believes Hill is a better defender at second, he might have another position switch in store come next season.
MINOR MATTERS: Casey Janssen and Dustin McGowan have an outside shot at starting jobs with the Jays this spring, but Toronto's plans are for both pitchers to be in the rotation at Triple-A. Joining them should be right-hander Ty Taubenheim, who Ricciardi said could be a long reliever/spot starter in the future.
The Jays also plan on having catching prospect Curtis Thigpen start at Triple-A, and Ricciardi noted that the club hopes to have him team with Zaun at some point in the Majors. Consider that Zaun is under contract for the next two seasons.
FEELING A DRAFT: Toronto has 10 of the first 150 picks in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft.
–The Globe and Mail's Jeff Blair touches on Toronto manager John Gibbons' current contract situation. Gibbons' contract expires after this season.
That's all for now. I'll probably be wearing shorts and enjoying some Florida sunshine when I post next. I'll catch you all down in Dunedin. Stay tuned for more…
6 Comments
Jordan, you mentioned that Toronto has 10 of the top 115 drafts. How many of these come in the first couple of rounds. Also, can you comment on the ability of a team like the yankees to draft some of the best pitching and position prospects in the game, despite drafting so high? Why has JP and others been able to spot these talented players?
Toronto has two picks in the first round of the First-Year Player Draft in June. Obviously, the Jays have their own pick, and they received another first-round pick from the Rangers when Texas signed Frank Catalanotto.
Toronto then has three sandwich picks in the first round — one each for losing Catalanotto, Justin Speier, and Ted Lilly to free agency.
In the second round, the Jays have their regular pick, plus they picked up an additional second-round selection from the Angels due to the Speier signing.
The 2007 draft is projected to be a very deep and talented pool of players. So it's a great year for Toronto to have seven picks in the opening two rounds.
Also, I edited it in the post, I meant to type that Toronto has 10 of the top 150 picks. 7 in the first two rounds and one each in rounds three, four and five.
JP having lots of draft picks is good to restock the farm system. JP has said he can be more inclined to draft high school players (like Snider last year) with a higher potential ceiling.
Jays really need to some young stud prospects when the big backloaded contracts in the later years come into play for the core. This draft might be make or break in defining if JP is extended after 2010.
I do not like to play the 'IF' game but I must. If 2 out of 3 newly aquired pitchers hold up, can we discuss this being the year of the Bluejays? Going back to last year before injuries took Johnson and Rios, we had 4 players in the low .300 and all but the ss in the high .270's. 4 players with 30+ home run ability hitting in a row. Seems the Yanks and the R-sox need to go across seas to slow us down. I think it is time for some respect.
I think the team has done a remarkable job in putting together a team that can contend without trading away any of our assets. Can we win 95 games? Time will tell, but if we don't this year, we have a slew of young arms that will be ready next year, plus a lineup with the major pieces locked in. Panic in the streets of Boston? Bring it on!

I'm trying to see the local storage databases on my iPhone.
A variety of Google searches made this clear - if you go to "Settings", then "Safari" - you'll see a "Database" panel (just under "Accept Cookies...")
However, on MY iPhone - "Databases" is not listed.
I'm 99.9% sure that I HAVE databases on my phone:
- I'm testing an HTML5 application that uses a database. According to the app, the database exists, and I can write to and read from it
- I use Gmail through Safari - I'm virtually certain that it uses a database
I'm also virtually certain that I recall seeing the "Database" options in the past.
I just upgraded to iOS 4.3.5 - is it possible that this version moved the function to view the databases to someplace besides Settings > Safari? If so, where?
Or, is it a bug that the databases aren't getting displayed?
Thanks in advance!

Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry signed book giveaway!June 20, 2012, 15:06 pm Posted by Lark Jewelry & Beading
Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry promises to be one of the fall's most sought after gems. In this beautiful gallery book, nearly 300 bead artists present exquisite, innovative, and often fun and surprising works in bead weaving, embroidery, stringing, handmade beads, and more.
Color proofs of the book were sent to Publishers Weekly, the leading trade magazine for the book publishing industry, and here's an excerpt from the very enthusiastic review that just released: "Opening this gorgeous hunk of a book is like walking into a high-end jewelry gallery. There are 500 full-color photographs of beaded jewelry — necklaces, rings, bracelets, pins and earrings — created by 275 artists with beads, wire, filament, and fiber. Some of the artists are well-known to beaders, like Carol Wilcox Wells and Diane Fitzgerald, and some not-so-well-known, with their work published for the first time. This makes for a heady blend of inspiration, ideas, and expression. Editor Hemachandra selected the 500 beaded objects from submissions by 360 artists from 30 countries. To his credit, no single style — bead weaving, bead embroidery, bead stringing — gets short shrift. The photography is of high professional standards, no Instagram shots by amateurs posted to Facebook, and is also instructively illustrative of the beadwork, offering closeup shots that will help the aspiring bead worker reproduce some of the techniques." (You can read the full review — including two debatable criticisms! — online here.)
Our advance copies are in, and I'm going to give away one advance copy of the book signed by me. The winner will be the first person outside the company and book industry to see the book.
How can you enter for a chance to win? Leave a comment on this blog post by 9 p.m. EST on Wednesday, June 27. Any comment counts as an entry, but why don't you let us know which bead designer inspires you the very most (tough question!). One winner will be selected at random and announced on Tuesday, July 5. Click here for the official rules.
The book is available for preorder at your local bead store or bookstore, or online at BN.com or Amazon.com (go over, take a look, and please give the book's page a "Like"). Be sure to join Lark Jewelry & Beading on Facebook for book and community news, as well as images of beautiful jewelry. And good luck!
UPDATE: Congratulations to Adele Recklies of Brooklyn, New York. Adele was randomly selected as the winner of the signed advance copy of Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry. Our thanks to everyone who participated … and we hope you love the book!

First Body Identified From Florida Reform School Graves
Researchers Excavate 55 Graves at Now-Closed Dozier School for Boys
Researchers excavating 55 unmarked graves at a closed reform school in the Florida Panhandle said Thursday that they have made the first DNA identification of a boy who died there.
George Owen Smith was sent to the state-run Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Fla., in 1940 at the age of 14, for his alleged role in stealing a car with an older teen. His family received word less than a year later that he had disappeared and was later found dead of pneumonia, according to his sister, Ovell Krell....

SEATTLE (AP) -- The CEO of electric car company Tesla says a battery in a Model S that caught fire this week was apparently impaled by a metal object.
Elon Musk gave more detail in a blog post Friday about the fire that became an Internet sensation and unsettled Tesla investors. He also defended the car's battery technology.
Musk wrote in a blog post Friday that fires are more common in conventional gas-powered vehicles.
"For consumers concerned about fire risk, there should be absolutely zero doubt that it is safer to power a car with a battery than a large tank of highly flammable liquid," Musk wrote.
The CEO said a curved metal component was apparently the culprit in causing a Tesla to catch on fire Tuesday. He says the object's shape led to a powerful hit on the underside of the vehicle, punching a 3-inch hole through an armor plate that protects the car's bottom.
The company said the car properly contained the blaze. The driver was able to exit the highway in the Seattle suburb of Kent before flames engulfed the front of the vehicle.
Of the estimated 194,000 vehicle fires in the U.S. each year, the vast majority are in cars and trucks with gasoline or diesel engines. Electric vehicles make up less than 1% of the cars sold in the U.S.
Firefighters struggled to extinguish the Tesla fire, finding that the flames reignited. Crews found that water seemed to intensify the fire, so they began using a dry chemical extinguisher.
After dismantling the front end of the vehicle and puncturing holes in the battery pack, responders used a circular saw to cut an access hole in the front section to apply water to the battery, according to documents. Only then was the fire extinguished.
Tesla shares fell sharply Wednesday and Thursday after a video of the car fire circulated on the Internet. The shares recovered somewhat Friday, rising $7.67, or 4.4%, to $180.98. They still finished the week with a loss of $9.92, or 5.2%. The shares are still up more about 400%.

Reader Question: Brightly Colored Bankers Boxes?
I was looking at your web site about bankers boxes, and wondered if you knew of a source for non-commercial looking boxes. I'm looking for some brightly colored ones, if they are available. I just put shelves in our bedroom closet (we have 9 foot ceilings, and all the upper space was going to waste) and I want to use bankers boxes to store "stuff" like sweaters and clothes that we only wear part of the year. My wife doesn't want it to look like office storage though.
I had gone into The Container Store and asked about "bankers boxes" and the salesperson didn't know what a bankers box was. It turns out they have solid white ones, but no colored ones.
Well, there are a few colored bankers boxes available from Fellowes - they don't seem "brightly colored," though. There's one in red, and one in cornflower blue.
Another product that's an exact match is the MeBox, which I've written about before, but Design Within Reach doesn't carry that product any more. There are other distributors listed, though, so hopefully you can still buy them, if not as easily. (Update on Oct. 24, 2012: It seems the MeBox is not available at this time.) However, I did find some other storage boxes that are somewhat similar in size, and might work for you.
West Elm's canvas file boxes could possibly work. Update on July 15, 2011: West Elm no longer sells these boxes.
While IKEA stores drive me crazy, IKEA does have some boxes that could work. Here is the Kassett box; there's also Strikt. Update on Oct. 24, 2012: I'm no longer finding the Strikt boxes.
Finally, these colorful cardboard boxes come from Kid-Eco the U.K., but it appears the company ships around the world. The boxes are available in a number of sizes. Kid-Eco calls them toy storage boxes, but there's no reason they couldn't store any number of things.

If the reader can't find suitable pre-colored boxes, a can of spray-paint can do wonders to making the boxes colorful and attractive

As always, Jeri, you are a credit to our profession. The big advantage of Bankers Boxes is that no glue is used, so it doesn't unduly attract insects, but I've often bemoaned the lack of colorful alternatives. Thanks so much for pointing these out.

My solution?
Plain white banker's boxes and acrylic paint. Took me just an afternoon to paint a ten-pack of boxes.
Then I used paint chips in complementary colors to create labels.
Awesome, and all for under $15

Jessica and Kate, thanks for pointing out the "paint it yourself, whatever color you want" option!
Julie, as always, I'm delighted when you find my posts to be useful!

I painted 6 bankers boxes and lids with black acrylic and pasted some gorgeous photos I cut from "W" magazine in one afternoon. Next: A little fabric for color, some modge podge and sealer, and I'll have one of a kind boxes for my bedroom. I also use rubber dishpans to hold the items under the sink in kitchen and bath. It makes it so easy to find things when you can pull out the whol dishpan.

do the boxes warp or bend after being painted? or spray painted?
- January 30, 2010 at 1:32:00 PM PST
- Kate the Great said...
I painted mine back in July and they are still holding their shape and have not warped or bent at all.
The one thing I have noticed is the paint on the bottom of the boxes rubs off onto shelves. Nothing a few black felt rounds couldn't solve.

I bought 2 really cute, colorful bankers boxes from Target sometime last year or the year before, and of course, now that I need more they apparently aren't selling them anymore. I'm still keeping my eye on Target's stock though...

Resolute batting by Sri Lanka and wet weather frustrated Pakistan's bid to drive home their advantage on the third day of the second Test in Colombo, Sri Lanka, yesterday.
The tourists, who declared their first innings on 551-6, dismissed opener Tharanga Paranavitana for a duck, before the hosts recovered to post 70-1 by stumps at the Sinhalese Sports Club.
The experienced duo of Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara led the revival by adding 59 runs for the second wicket on a pitch that continued to assist the batsmen.
Dilshan was unbeaten on 46 with nine hits to the fence, while Sangakkara was on 22.
Just 27 overs of the stipulated 90 were bowled during the day as rain washed out play in the last two sessions. The second day had also seen only 44 overs sent down.
With more rain forecast over the next two days, the match appeared headed for a draw, with Sri Lanka set to retain their lead in the three-match series after winning the first Test in Galle, Sri Lanka, by 209 runs.
A fired-up Pakistan attack were rewarded with the breakthrough in the fourth over when left-handed Paranavitana was snapped up at short-leg by Azhar Ali off Junaid Khan, but Dilshan and Sangakkara, who both scored centuries in Galle, settled down to deny the tourists further success.
Pakistan, who resumed on the overnight score of 488-4, batted for an hour, before skipper Misbah-ul-Haq declared the innings.
Misbah himself remained unbeaten on 66 after Asad Shafiq was run out for 2 and Adnan Akmal was caught in the covers to give left-arm spinner Rangana Herath his third wicket in the innings.
Pakistan's innings had revolved around a second-wicket stand of 287 between Mohammad Hafeez (196) and Azhar Ali (157), the highest partnership by a visiting team on Sri Lankan soil.
The third Test is scheduled for Pallekele, Sri Lanka, from Sunday.

CARSON, Calif., March 3 (UPI) -- Mike Magee scored three times and fellow Irishman Robbie Keane also found the net Sunday in the Los Angeles Galaxy's 4-0 rout of Chicago.
Magee put the Galaxy ahead to stay in the 38th minute when he blasted a cross from Todd Dunivant past Chicago goalkeeper Sean Johnson with on a left-footed shot.
Magee also scored in the 68th and 74th minutes while Keane tallied in the 80th as the two-time defending MLS champion Galaxy (1-0-0) rolled in their season opener.
Los Angeles didn't seem to miss superstars David Beckham -- who left the squad in the offseason -- or Landon Donovan, who is taking personal time off.
The Fire (0-1-0) had their best chance in the first half when Chris Rolfe fired a left-footed shot that just rolled past the far post.

If your driver's license was revoked because you accumulated 12 or more points on your driving record, or because you violated an alcohol restriction, you may be eligible to have your license reinstated after a specified period of time.
The minimum amount of time you must wait before requesting reinstatement of your license after it was revoked depends upon the number of times you have had your Maryland driver's license revoked:
- One revocation
6 month waiting period
- Two revocations
12 month waiting period
- Three revocations
18 month waiting period
- Four or more revocations
24 month waiting period
The waiting period starts on the day that you turn in your driver's license after it has been revoked, or the date of revocation, whichever is later. You must turn in your most recently issued license.
What do I need to do?
If you believe that you meet the criteria to reinstate your license, you may call or visit the MVA's Driver Wellness and Safety Division (DW&S) and request to have your driver's license reinstated. You will be asked for your full name, address, date of birth and driver's license number, if you know it.
The MVA will review your driving record for insurance violations, child support violations and any other problems that may disqualify you from reinstatement. If we discover a problem in your driving record, we will send you a letter explaining why you are not eligible for reinstatement. If there are no apparent problems, we will mail or hand to you an application form.
After you have completed the application for driver's license reinstatement, return it to the MVA's Driver Wellness and Safety Division along with the appropriate application fee. Upon receipt of the application and fee, there will be a final ruling on the reinstatement of your driver's license and you will be sent a letter either granting or denying reinstatement. If you are granted reinstatement of your driver's license, take the letter to any full service MVA branch office and apply for a new license. You may be required to take the law, vision and/or driving skills tests again. In addition, you will be subject to all MVA eligibility requirements.
If the reinstatement of your driver's license is denied, you do have the right to appeal the decision of the MVA to the office of administrative hearings. Contact the MVA's Driver Wellness and Safety Division for details about the appeal process.
- There is a fee for reinstating a driver's license that was revoked because of an alcohol-related offense.
- There is a fee for reinstating a driver's license that was revoked for other reasons.

Brandeis got great production from the middle of their lineup as their third through sixth hitters combined to go 9-for-19 with eight runs scored, five RBI and three doubles. Senior catcher Chris Ferro (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) had a game-high three hits out of the three hole. Junior DH Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield) and sophomore 1B Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter Marian) each had two hits, two runs, two RBI and a two-bagger out of the cleanup and five spots, respectively, while sophomore 2B Tom McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School) was 2-5 with his team-leading sixth double of the season.
Senior lefty Mike Swerdloff (Scarsdale, N.Y./Ardsley) was the beneficiary of the second-highest run total and fourth-most hits of the season for the Judges. Swerdloff tossed 7.1 innings – his third outing of at least seven innings this season – allowing nine hits and four runs, all earned. He struck out four and did not walk a batter, throwing 107 pitches, 71 for strikes. Swerdloff improved to 2-2 this season, earning his 10th collegiate win in the process.
The Judges scored twice in the first inning against Endicott senior righty Michael Griffin (Arlington, Mass./Arlington) on RBI singles by Gad and Brenner, but broke the game open in the third. In that frame, the Judges scored five times, their second-biggest inning of the season, sending 10 hitters to the plate. Gad opened the scoring with an RBI double. The Judges went on to score three more of their runs on EC errors, with rookie CF Liam O'Connor (Avon, Conn./Avon) singling to give Brandeis a 7-2 lead.
The Judges put the game out of reach in the fourth with four more runs as the Gulls committed another costly error, rendering three more unearned runs. McCarthy had an RBI double in the frame, with Brenner, junior 3B Dominic Schwartz (San Francisco, Calif./Lowell) and sophomore SS Brian Allen (Salem, N.H./Central Catholic) also knocking home runs.
Endicott scored single runs in four different innings as the Gulls picked up 10 hits on the day. Senior 1B Brett Holmgren (Middleboro, Mass./Coyle Cassidy) was 2-4 with two RBI and a run scored, while junior RF Connor Ressel (Rockport, Mass./Gloucester) was 2-3 with two RBI, a double - the Gulls' only extra-base hit – and a sacrifice fly. Rookie Davarn Nova (Wareham, Mass/Coyle Cassidy) had a fine outing in relief, keeping the Judges scoreless with four innings of two-hit ball. He fanned two and walked just one. Griffin suffered the loss, his first decision of the season.
Brandeis is back in action tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. when they host Rhode Island College, while Endicott travels to Bates College tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.

Taylor Swift Suffers From An Extreme Case Of Wardrobe Malfunction!
We see London, we see France, now we see YOUR underpants, Taylor! The country diva joins Selena, Justin, Duchess Kate, and more — is Hollywood becoming infected by a plague of indecent exposure?
Taylor Swift acted anything but 'swift' when her dress flew up in concert yesterday, giving fans more of a show than they paid for. The pop-country starlet is one of many celebrities who have experienced the 'wardrobe malfunction' epidemic — some side effects may include up-skirts, nip-slips, and side-boobs.
Taylor joins the likes of those recently infected by this widespread outbreak from Selena Gomez, who let her lady-parts get some fresh air on the beach, to Duchess Kate Middleton, who unsuspectingly revealed her royal rump. Justin Bieber has had the fever countless times — causing parents to confront their children's curiosity about his aerated-anatomy.
Do you HollywoodLifers think the private parts of Hollywood's hottest celebrities are becoming public domain?

What began as a singular sovereign debt problem in Greece in 2009 quickly spread to the rest of Europe. First Ireland; then Portugal and Spain and Italy. Today—only three years after the first signs of trouble—virtually all Europeans have felt the destructive effects of the euro zone turmoil, and its impact is being felt around the world.
Contagion, a phenomenon where financial tumult in one country or region spreads to another country, is now a fact of life. The globalization of finance has, in many ways, made contagion inevitable. The world has become much more integrated through trade, investors, and banks, and these ties have caused countries' financial markets to move together more closely during good times and bad.

California, arguably the primary source of fruits and vegetables for most of us living up and down the West Coast, is in its fourth consecutive year of severe drought with no end in sight. As California's farmers have to cut back on production in order to meet mandatory water use restrictions, the cheap plenty of broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, carrots and strawberries we have enjoyed in our supermarkets could be coming to an end.
Already food costs are on the rise and we're seeing more agricultural imports from China and South America on the shelves. Water shortages are the new norm in many parts of the world, not just in California. It all adds up to a growing awareness that there are some real threats to food security for us looming on the near horizon.
Short of taking to social media and signing yet another petition to do something about global climate change (well, I might be doing that too), the best response to the rising costs of fruit and vegetables may just lie in supporting local food systems and growing your own food with neighbors and friends.
In that vein I stopped by the Point Roberts Homegrown Food Cooperative on Benson Road recently to find out how their community supported agriculture (CSA) program is doing and when they would be opening their farm stand for the summer.
The CSA movement has grown like a wildfire on a drought-ridden prairie in recent years as communities search for ways to support small local, largely organic, farming ventures. Members pay up front for a season's worth of a weekly box of vegetables and fruit, enabling farmers to buy seeds, equipment and make advance growing plans in the early spring for the community they serve.
The good news at the Point Roberts coop is that they have filled all but one CSA spot for the year and the farm stand opens the first weekend in June for the summer. Sign up for the coop's weekly post about what's available at the stand and their weekend hours of operation by visiting their website: prhomegrowncoop.com.
Growing your own food also has huge rewards, and you may find you never want to go back to a box of lettuce that's traveled to you by plane for four days after you've tasted your own fresh-picked salad greens.
Growing leafy greens from seed is as easy as gardening gets. A couple of my favorites are the soft little butter head lettuces like Buttercrunch and the quick-to-mature John Scheepers Lovely Lettuce Mesclun Blend kitchengardenseeds.com. Tuscan lacinato kale is also getting rave reviews.
If you're new to gardening, start with just 3–4 different vegetable types and learn how they grow. If you can get a friend's family to grow a few different types and you share with each other, you'll both be getting enough variety that the novelty of having 20 zucchinis a week to eat won't lose its charm.
Growing for winter keeping is a great way to save on the fall grocery bills. Fall- harvest carrots, beets, parsnips and squash will all keep well in cool storage for weeks. Look for varieties that are bred for winter keeping, like the Autumn King carrot from West Coast Seeds (WCS) in Ladner. WCS also has an online planting guide for late harvest planting times and over wintering veggie types at their website: westcoastseeds.com/garden-resources.
Good old-fashioned "putting by" or canning is also the old-is-new-again way to extend your harvest – or the bounty from the farmers market – and keep the pantry full for the winter months. Must-haves at my house include peaches, tomatoes, caramelized onions in balsamic vinegar and a summer chutney packed full of apricots, raisins, roasted garlic and apple.
For canning good quality low sugar berry and fruit jams, I rely on an apple pectin called Ponoma Pectin that allows me to use almost no sugar, replacing its preservative qualities with the acid found in lemon juice. The company's website at ponomapectin.com has a full line of excellent recipes and is worth a visit.
When canning up a whole case of 12 jars of something takes almost as much time as making just a few jars, the process cries out for getting a group of friends together to do a couple of sessions over the summer where everyone gets to take home several jars.
The only cautions for canning with a crowd is to use professionally tested recipes designed for canning, be food safe and don't open the wine until the jars are out of the canner!

PHOENIXVILLE - The Colonial Theatre will screen a restored 35mm print of 'Sparrows,' a 1926 film starring Mary Pickford.
Organist Ben Model will provide live accompaniment, and Pickford historian Christel Schmidt will introduce the film. The screening will take place on April 28, 2013 at 4 p.m.
'Sparrows' is a Dickensian tale of orphans living on a baby farm run by an evil caretaker. The movie boasts highly stylized sets, including an ominous-looking swamp, and atmospheric cinematography that illustrates the growing influence of German expressionist cinema on American filmmakers in the 1920s.
Though one of Pickford's darker themed pictures, it is considered by many to be her best, including her business partner and onscreen rival Charlie Chaplin. The feature will be preceded by the 'Sparrows' trailer and outtakes. The 35mm restorations of 'Sparrows,' trailers and outtakes are by the Library of Congress.
Schmidt is the leading expert on the films of Mary Pickford and the editor of 'Mary Pickford: Queen of the Movies.' She will sign copies of her book after the screening.
Schmidt was awarded two fellowships, in 2000 and 2004, from the National Endowment for the Humanities for her research in locating and identifying Pickford films in US and European film archives. Her work has been used by the Women Film Pioneers Project and the Mary Pickford Foundation.
Model is one of the country's leading silent film accompanists, and has been playing piano and organ for silents at the Museum of Modern Art in New York for the past 28 years.
A five-time recipient of the Meet The Composer grant, Model is a regular accompanist at classic film festivals around the U.S. and in Norway, and performs at universities, museums, and historic theaters. Model has composed ensemble scores for films by Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd that are performed around the U.S. every year by orchestras and by concert bands.
The Colonial Theatre's programming includes art and independent films seven days a week, in addition to classic films, children's programs, and live concerts. It was reopened in 1999 by the Association for the Colonial Theatre. More information about the Colonial is available at www.thecolonialtheatre.com, or by phone, at 610-917-1228.
More about The Colonial Theatre
The Colonial Theatre is located in the heart of downtown Phoenixville, Pennsylvania at 227 Bridge Street. Opened in 1903, the Colonial is the last surviving of four theatres once existing in the borough and is the only theatre of its kind in Chester County. In its early days, the Colonial was home to live stage shows, vaudeville acts and musicals including appearances by Harry Houdini and Mary Pickford. Real movie buffs know that the Colonial was featured in the 1958 science fiction classic, The Blob, starring Steve McQueen and filmed in and around Phoenixville.
The theatre is owned and operated by the Association for the Colonial Theatre (ACT), a nonprofit corporation, which re-opened the theatre in 1999. The Colonial's programming includes art and independent films seven nights a week, classic films, children's programs, live concerts, and community events. ACT is committed to the full restoration of the Colonial as a cultural arts center. Find out more about the Colonial at www.thecolonialtheatre.com. The mission of the Association for the Colonial Theatre is to enhance the collective well-being of our region by restoring the landmark Colonial Theatre and promoting cultural, economic and civic life. To that end, ACT presents film, live theatre, music, dance and other community events in the heart of Phoenixville's historic business district.

There is a conjecture by Birkhoff which claims that for a simple closed $C^2$ plane curve $C$, if the billiard ball map is integrable then the curve is an ellipse.
Integrability here might be formulated as follows: there exists a neighbourhood of $C$ in the interior $Int(C)$ that is foliated by caustics (caustics being curves that are everywhere tangent to a given trajectory of the billiard ball).
I would be interested to know the current status (and progresses, if there are) of this conjecture.

Keep the shiney side up!
Keep the shiney side up!
Hi Ladies,
I've been reading this thread with interest. When my Pop bought me my first two-wheeled vehicle (1959 Lambretta) in 1963, I had no idea that bikes would be such a huge part of my life. I haven't been without one since, and they run the gamut from a 1948 UL Harley flathead to a 1949 BSA Bantam to a 1962 Norton 650SS cafe bike. I "graduated to a BMW" late in life, stumbling cross Millie, my 1980 R80/7 in the Fall of 2009. She was in small pieces and I got her for $500.00, and have LOTS of sweat and scraped knuckle equity in her. That same Fall I joined a local women's group, which was very loose and didn't last long, but I met a friend and she and I shared a campsite one weekend and came up with W.O.M.E.N.---"Women On Motorcycles Enjoying Nature". Some of the gals ride big honkin' V-twins (Harley's and clones) and I giggle and tell them they have to let me fire Millie up first so I can hear if she is running or not.
I've been across the country and back several times, and up and around the western States many times over the years---always alone, or perhaps with one gentleman friend. I've found riding with women a delightful experience, and our camp-and-ride group has six or seven campouts each summer. (And yes, several of the women are, as it was so delicately put, "masculine"....but we are there to ride and camp and laugh and have fun and that's all.)
I still love riding alone, and quite often do just that. I very much enjoy our little group outings. And I wave and get return waves from everyone from "outlaw" patch-holders to on-duty motorcycle cops. Over the years I've found that projecting a friendly, interested attitude will do wonders when meeting strangers, and it's *so* easy when you all share a love of two wheels. I suppose the one thing I enjoy most about a women's group is the lack of competitiveness----no one wants to be top dog. We all get along and we all have loads of fun!
Ranging far afield and at great length, I apologize for the size of the post.....honestly, I don't get paid by the word....
A bunch of Brits
What a wonderfulful story you tell! Thanks so much for sharing it. If I can ever get out to the west coast on two wheels I just might try to get in touch with you. I'm just back from a great ride and I enjoyed the heck out of my wandering ride through the hills of southern NH and VT.

It started very innocently. I was just trying to take a self portrait, and when I saw what my face looked like I said to myself (out loud) "I don't like my face today." So I grabbed a sharpie and scribbled it out. "There, much better. Hmmmmm. This feels kind of good." Ok, let me stop you right there. I don't hate myself, or my face for that matter, I just didn't like it yesterday. It happens, right? Then I remembered that I had another photo of myself where I didn't like the way my mouth looked, so I scribbled on that one, too. And then it hit me. Finally, something to do with all those "reject" polaroids I've been holding onto for years. The ones that got jammed in the camera, or yellowed in certain places, or the ones where I just didn't like my face. So I dug them up and just started writing the first thing that came to my mind. As if I was explaining the photo to someone else. Well, I couldn't stop. I even dipped into a couple of non-rejects. And, since I wasn't liking my face, I took some more self portraits and scribbled on them. Defacing is fun, and it brings some emotion to photos that weren't very, well, emotional. I hope you like what I have done so far.
When Andrew came home last night and saw what I was doing he said,
"Why did you draw all over your face?"
I said,
"I didn't like, uh, you wouldn't understand."
He probably would understand, but I think he likes my face everyday (as husbands should), so maybe he wouldn't.
My friend Chris emailed me. I think he thought I might be suicidal because of how blue I have been feeling. I told him that wasn't the case, I was just inspired. He's a good friend.
You can decide for yourself.
There are more here. And there will be more after that. I can't stop. Really, I can't. I'll keep you posted.

I've been wondering why all morning. Now it makes sense. But it is strong. I was not liking my thighs and butt yesterday because they weren't fitting into pants. I think it helps when you have a creative outlet to almost explode onto. I didn't and just decided to eat dark chocolate.

Hi. Found your "defaced" polaroids on flickr and they caught my attention. Made me wonder about them, so thanks for the blog entry with background info. You're on to something here. It takes courage to deviate from the "normal" and "accepted" ways of communicating and follow your intuition into uncharted territories. That's art. Being an artist takes you to unexpected places and sometimes results in work that others will not understand and even find scary. That's okay. I especially like that you've written the first thing that comes to mind. That spontaneity comes across in the image. Nice work.

visually your defaced images are very strong.
the one on flickr where your eyes are scribbled out reminded me of the work of makeup artist inge grognard for martin margiela.

In his new role, Richards will have primary responsibility for systemwide financial planning and administrative services, including the university's budget and appropriations requests; management of its endowment, retirement trust funds and debt; as well as the university's treasury, accounting and financial systems, procurement, risk management, and facilities planning and development functions. The vice president also serves as a key university spokesperson to internal and external constituencies on financial and business matters.
Richards has more than 20 years of experience in the financial sector, serving as an audit manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and as chief financial officer and senior vice president for Landmark Bank N.A. in Columbia.

Besides the fact that I just have to walk 400m down the hill from my house to the lake side and the run course for IRONMAN New Zealand, it really is THE BEST IRONMAN event in the world for a number of reasons!
Taupo-nui-a tia (the original name for Taupo) is such a cool little town and the week of IRONMAN it just gets even better, the buzz that builds is electric. Lake Taupo is beautiful to swim in, you can see the bottom of the lake for the entire duration of the 3.8km swim. This years new addition of finishing up the mouth of the river will be an amazing adition and the current will be a welcome relief for some I'm sure!
I have only raced IRONMAN New Zealand once, back in 2011, and I was lucky enough to win overall that year and secure a spot in Kona. I started my build up in December and the very first thing I did upon arriving here in Taupo was to hire a kayak, paddle out to the Maori carvings on the lake, and pay my respects to the local Taniwha! The IRONMAN Gods really did smile on me on race day and I'm sure that kayak trip played a small part of that victory.
I'd had heart surgery at the beginning of December 2010, so nobodys money was on me even competing in Taupo let alone winning, but I've always liked a good challenge. It was my very first IRONMAN and I was intent on enjoying myself throughout the build up. We were living in Whangarei at the time, but would travel down every 3rd weekend and stay in Taupo and practice on the course.
Race day was one of the worst in recent years, it bucketed down with rain all day long. The race turned into one of attrition, the World Champion Mirinda Carfrae had been flown over, and the great Jo Lawn - 7 time winner was also in the field. But that's the thing with IRONMAN – you can't get caught up in anyone elses BS – you just have to race your race, focus on yourself and execute YOUR plan - nobody elses.
Once you're out onto the bike you'll start to realise one of the big things that makes IRONMAN New Zealand voted the best IRONMAN in the world – it's the people!
The volunteers in Taupo are amazing, no where in the world have I experienced the level of support they give, from the moment you check in at rego until the 'Vollies' party on Monday night, the town does everything it can to support the experience of EVERY SINGLE ATHLETE.
Since winning the event in 2011 we have returned every year, but in a different capacity. My husband and I run the largest aid station on the course, at Rainbow Point. It's the only 2-way aid station on the course and the families of all the athletes I coach pitch in and run the aid station. It is a phenomenal experience, being on the road side and supporting athletes late into the night in the hope they'll get in before that cut off – being a tiny part of them becoming an IRONMAN never ceases to send a tingle down your spine!
The run in Taupo is amazing, there isn't a spot on the 42km Lake front course that isn't lined with people cheering you on. The feedback I get from all the athletes I coach through the event is that they don't feel their feet on the 3rd lap – the crowd and it's atmosphere carries you from 35-42km on the run back into town when you'd think you're at your absolute worst!
And if all that isn't enough the after party would have to be the best in the world too – I have never been to an event where the sponsors get behind the every day athletes so much and there are SO MANY spot prizes! Then it's into Taupo and being such a small town the party is compact and goes on all night long!!! (well it did the year I won anyway!)
If you're a first timer thinking about entering IRONMAN New Zealand I would encourage you to be brave and accept the challenge. It is a life changing experience. I've been so lucky to coach around 100 athletes over the finish line of IRONMAN New Zealand so far. They may not think they're athletes, and may infact feel uncomfortable calling themselves just that to begin with, but they are ALL athletes when they cross that finish line – as Mike Reilly will tell them infact – they're an IRONMAN.
It's a long day, and it isn't won in the first hour of the swim, the best advice I can give to you is to be patient. There will be 100 times throughout the day that 'IRONMAN' will jump on your back and try and crush you, but you just have to be patient, ask yourself "what can I do NOW to get to that 30km mark on the run" and then DO IT – it may be you need to take some fluid in, or fuel, or just get out of the saddle and stretch your legs, but keep asking yourself "what can I do now?" IRONMAN is 60% physical, 40% mental, and 10% sheer bloody stubborness!
