To look up into the night sky is to gaze deep, deep into the past. Light moves fast, but not fast enough for us to get an instantaneous peek at the cosmos. So when we look at some of the glowing balls of plasma that light up our sky, we're actually seeing them as they looked thousands of years ago. Even the light from our own sun is eight minutes old before it reaches Earth.
But just because the sky is a glittering time capsule doesn't mean we can't occasionally see something new. Or new to us, anyway. Scientists think a massive star collision occurred about 1,800 years ago, and they're predicting that the resulting red flash will reach our eyeballs sometime around 2022.
"It's a one-in-a-million chance that you can predict an explosion," Calvin College astronomer Larry Molnar said in a statement. "It's never been done before."
For several years now, Molner and his colleagues have been studying the binary star called KIC 9832227, located about 1,276 light-years from Earth. The team bolstered the case for its star-making quality last week at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The two stars that make up this pair in the constellation Cygnus (the swan) are spiraling towards one another, destined to collide. When they do, they're likely to form a red nova—a red-flashing explosion resulting in one new, massive star. If the researchers are correct, their years of observation will have a massive payoff: this would be the first time scientists accurately predicted the collision of two stars ahead of time.
"The project is significant not only because of the scientific results, but also because it is likely to capture the imagination of people on the street," said Matt Walhout, dean for research and scholarship at Calvin College. "If the prediction is correct, then for the first time in history, parents will be able to point to a dark spot in the sky and say, 'Watch, kids, there's a star hiding in there, but soon it's going to light up.'"
Because the flash can't be investigated until it "happens" (even though it actually happened almost 2,000 years ago, if happened at all), we can't be certain we'll get a new star out of the deal. If Molner and co.'s predictions for the binary pair's behavior are correct, we'll likely see something 10,000 times brighter than the stars are now—one of the brightest objects in our night sky, in fact. But it's possible the stars aren't on the exact crash course they've calculated.
"It is not a secure result," Caltech's Shri Kulkarni, who isn't involved in the new research, told National Geographic's Nadia Drake. "But not implausible either."
Luckily, it's not as if we'll need fancy telescopes to fact-check this one. In five or six years, we'll all be able to look up and determine for ourselves whether or not Molner's conclusions were correct.

For many of us, our image of an Italian mother is one of a sweet, petite, slightly rounded woman, apron tied around her waist and flour always under her fingernails. We see her spending most of her day in the kitchen making pasta by hand and cooking up something wonderful for her family and/or guests whom she dotes on endlessly. It is possible that these women exist, but get in mamma's way at the supermarket and you'll see mamma and nonna in a whole new light. The elbow jab to the ribs or rolly-cart to the shins will quickly shake away any misconception you have of a sweet & frail mamma. I met up with Italian mamma, Mariantonietta, for a day of food shopping and a Pugliese cooking lesson.
Now Mariantonietta can cook, and it's clear she knows her way around a kitchen. She owns a seaside restaurant in Salento, is part-owner of a masseria in Puglia and is responsible for organizing many food and wine events in the area and throughout Italy. Obviously, this bustling business woman is too busy to be in the kitchen all day, yet she still insists on eating tasty, nutritious Italian meals. Her motto is that an easy and elegant meal should take no longer than an hour to prepare. After a day "out in the fields" meeting local farmers, olive oil producers and visiting a wine cooperative, we cooked up a delicious four-course dinner full of the flavors of Puglia. And we did it in less than an hour.
Quintessential Italian Table - Perfectly set with tablecloth and flowers
That morning we spent exploring Leverano, an area in Salento rich in agriculture. We visited a tomato grower who grows 150 varieties of tomatoes, tasted olive oil from a olive oil cooperative and saw wine being made at a cooperative where around 1200 small producers combine their resources to make wine and olive oil. Talk about fresh, the produce we purchased had just been harvested that morning. We even met with a flower grower in the area and picked up flowers for the table.
We brought our purchases back to Mariantonietta's kitchen. Not only is her kitchen spacious and colorful, decorated with all sorts of photos, tiles and ceramics, but it's also modern and well-equipped. At first look it might seem that the pots and kitchen utensils were only for decoration, but they were hung strategically, which allowed for quick and easy retrieval when cooking. It wasn't all work in the kitchen either. In between chatter, photo breaks, and plenty of wine (the wine was a Negroamaro from the Leverano Wine Coopertive), we put together a fabulous meal, where local vegetables and ingredients were the stars.
Although she never seemed rushed, Mariantonietta was swift in the kitchen. She moved from sink to prep area to stove like a ballerina, each motion seemingly choreographed and practiced many times before. Local and seasonal vegetables were key to making this meal. Mariantonietta pointed out that the fresher the vegetables are, the quicker they cook and the tastier they are. And if you use dried pasta, which we did, most Italian pasta dishes are quite quick and easy to make. With five ingredients or less, you can make a wonderful dish. Our meal was the essence of Italian cooking, simple yet so full of flavor because Mariantonietta let the unadulterated quality and freshness of the ingredients shine.
We started with antipasti of local salumi and cheese. We also had bruschetta made with local tomatoes, the famous bread from Altamura and olive oil from the Leverano Oil Cooperative.
The primo piatto was a gorgeous plate of orecchiette with cauliflower, sausage and cheese. The mild flavor of the cauliflower blended well with the bold taste of the sausage, and the cheese, not too much, brought a perfect creaminess to the entire dish.
Using extras from the pasta dish, we made a secondo of grilled sausage links and a contorno (side dish) of cauliflower gratin. That wasn't all. Two more contorni rounded out the meal: the classic dish peperonata, bell peppers, tomatoes and garlic slowly cooked in olive oil. We also had the famous Pugliese vegetable cime di rapa (broccoli rabe), again boiled and dressed with olive oil.
Dried figs with an almond inside (a Salento specialty), walnuts and limoncello were dessert.
Mariantonietta and I taking a cafe break in Porto Cesareo, near Leverano
The day was much more than a cooking lesson. I was able to see exactly from where the produce we purchased came, meet those producers - the many that get their hands dirty so we can eat well, and learn a little about agricultural life in Salento. Not only that, I made a new friend in Mariantonietta. Whenever I make this dish (which I have many times because it's so easy to make), I think of her, cooking and eating together, and the people of Leverano. (More on Leverano and its producers coming in another post.) Below is the recipe for orecchiette with cauliflower,sausage and cheese based on Mariantonietta's recipe. She used cacioricotta cheese, which is hard for me to find in California, but any semi-soft, not too strong cheese will do.

Orecchiette with Cauliflower, Sausage and Cheese
(Serves 4 as a main course, 6 as a primo piatto)
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
About 1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup olive oil
12 ounces of Italian sausage (3-4 links)*
1 pound orecchiette or other small dried pasta (i.e. mezzi rigatoni or conchiglie/small shells)
About 8 ounces cheese, grated or diced (cacioricotta, pecorino)
Freshly grated black pepper, to taste
Place the cauliflower florets in a large pot and add water about half way up the pot and the salt. Bring the water to boil and cook just until the cauliflower are al dente. Remove the cauliflower and drain. Use this water to cook the pasta, adding more water and salt if necessary.
In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and sausage, and cook the sausauge.
When the sausage is almost done, cook the pasta for only four minutes, then drain. Save the pasta water. Add the drained pasta to the sausage and stir through to coat the pasta with the olive oil and "toast" it, for 2-3 minutes. Add the cauliflower and 2 or 3 ladles of pasta water. Cook a few minutes more until pasta is al dente. Remove from the heat, add the cheese and stir in until the cheese has melted creating a creamy finish. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and serve. Buon Appetito!
*Note: When I recreate this dish, I use 12 ounces of sausage out of the casing, using 6 ounces of sweet/mild sausage and 6 ounces of spicy sausage.

All they do is lose lose lose???
A mere 4 days ago, I was bragging about my first place Milwaukee Brewers.
It seemed, at the time, that they could do no wrong.
Of course, they had just swept the Cubs, who we all know suck. They split a 4-game series with the Pirates, who we all know try really hard not to suck, but still do. They swept the Mets, who we all know don't suck as badly as Chicago or Pittsburgh, but still suck in their own right.
The Brewers were winning left and right, turning triple plays, hitting monster bombs — basically just backing up their awesome starting rotation with stellar defense and bursting offense.
Soooooooo when the Cardinals come to town 10 1/2 games back in the NL Central, you'd think the Crew would be able to keep the momentum alive and at least win one.
You know. Or not. Whatever.
Shaun Marcum's loss Tuesday wasn't his fault. A couple unearned runs was all it took to lessen the gap. Thank you, errors. Brewers lose, 2-1.
Last night was entirely RAAAAANDY's fault. (RAAAAANDY may or may not be trademarked by Aziz Ansari. Regardless, I use it. Constantly.) Leadoff home run for Rafael Furcal, one out, follow up dinger from Albert Pujols, settled down, GRAND SLAM FROM PITCHER JAKE WESTBROOK. All pretty standard, no? Oh, not, actually. Somewhere in there the Brewers scored 3 runs, Ryan Braun's trademark hustle became his downfall while attempting an inside-the-park home run (HILARIOUS, btw!) and, just as RB went down, so did the Crew. 8-3. Boo.
So, today. Nearly a carbon copy of last night, except for Yovani Gallardo was the one giving up 1st inning homers to Furcal and Pujols, and a subsequent grand slam to Prince Albert, which is when I turned off the game to catch up on DVR and pack for the first round of moving to MN. Yo surrendered a career high 4 HRs in a single outing. An outing that lasted less than 5 innings. Evidently, Jonathan Lucroy, Corey Hart and Prince Fielder answered with some too-little-too-late homers but alas, 8-4. Donezo.
And the Brewers were swept for the first time in Milwaukee all season.
The comfortable LoveSac lead has dwindled: 7 1/2 games over STL.
Thankfully, the baseball gods were smiling on My Boys when the 2011 schedule was made and they should be able to rebound nicely, facing the already eliminated Houston Astros over the weekend, while St. Louis takes on the Cincinnati Reds.
Now's the time to gain back the 3 games lost. As they say, there's no time like the present.
But don't think I'm at all discouraged by this sweep. It was bound to happen and quite honestly, I'm surprised it hadn't already.
I will say this, though: Even though the rest of the month seems like a cakewalk (half of the remaining 24 games are against the NL Central, and Chicago and Pittsburgh will very likely be officially out of the running by the time they face Milwaukee again), the Brewers need to bring their A-game now more than ever. I know they're not a team that would ever rest on their laurels, and I'm certainly not accusing them of that for this series, but this is crunch time, no matter how big the lead.
I still have faith in you, Brewers. I mean, why wouldn't I? I'm convinced it's your year every year, going back pretty much for forever. And I'm sure you won't prove me wrong this season. Because you wouldn't do that to me, right?
Go Brewers!
PS, don't forget to tune in to the Energy Sports Zone on mnenergy.com this Sunday morning from 9-11! College football, NFL, baseball, BREWERS!!! What more do you need?
Brewers sweep the Pirates–And there was much rejoicing
First of all, hello again, after a lovely vacation from my normal, boring, mundane (redundant?) life.
I spent a big chunk of it driving through some of the most boring landscape all by my lonesome, some of it on a boat, some in the water, eating and drinking a ton and, yes, even a week in the land of the Viqueens. And it couldn't have possibly been any better.
I came back to Wisconsin ready for back-to-back tailgates and Brewers games, but not quite ready for the inevitable return to work. Boo.
So, there's lots to cover, no?
Let's first talk about Christopher and his inability to properly handle a scissors. Or his inability to let an equipment person fix his glove. I mean, what an idiot. Even if you think you're completely capable of fixing your glove, you should probably let someone else do it. You know, just in case a sharp object has it out for your thumb. If anyone's gonna suffer the wrath of a vengeful pair of scissors, I'd rather it not be a starting pitcher. Seriously. Dumb.
Because of Narv Dog's stitches and subsequent DL stint, the Brewers called up Frankie De La Cruz to fill the spot in the bullpen formerly occupied by spot-starter Marco Estrada and Zack Greinke's scheduled start was pushed up to the opener against Pittsburgh Friday night. Greinke absolutely killed it. So did the Crew's offense. Brewers win 7-2. No surprise.
Saturday was my first game at Miller Park in, I'm almost ashamed to say, over a month. I was not looking forward to Estrada pitching. I was, however, looking forward to the inaugural lighting of my new blue grill and pretty much just being at a Brewers game. Well, Estrada pretty much put me in my place, pitching 5 scoreless innings before letting the bullpen protect his 1-0 lead. If you would've told me at the beginning of the game that Estrada would have a 1-hit shutout thru 5, with 5 Ks, and oh yeah, hit a double and that Yuniesky Betancourt's solo homer would be the only run on the board, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Thankfully, my doubts were for naught and Milwaukee came out on top over Pitt. Shocking.
So Sunday's game was Leff's monthly tailgate, Craig Counsell bobblehead and Bierbrauer day. Excited, kinda excited, could care less. The Pirates already had a run on the board by the time I got my Long Island and pulled pork parfait and I was definitely not in any mood for extras once Ryan Braun tied the game at 1-all in the 9th. But alas, George, Casey and T-Plush all came through quickly in the 10th–single, double, sac fly. Boom. Done. Pirates suck.
After the weekend, Milwaukee has become just the 3rd team in the NL to 70 wins and is still holding onto a 5-game lead over St. Louis in the Central. The Cardinals head to Pittsburgh for a 3-game series and I hate to say it, but if the Pirates play even remotely close to how they played this weekend, they could have a chance to win a couple. I know I wouldn't be too disappointed with that. The Brewers welcome the 3rd place, sub-.500 Dodgers to MP for 4 games and, you know, I think they'll be just fine.
And, unrelated, but my mom just walked in and handed me a Hot Dog bobblehead. Awesome.
Tonight's game: Randy Wolf (9-8, 3.48 ERA) has won his last 3 starts, including an 8-inning, 1-run outing in STL last week. Dodgers starter Ted Lilly (7-12, 4.71 ERA) has a 2.37 ERA in his last 3 starts but has had 2 tough-luck losses. He'd only given up 2 runs in each of those 3 games.
And since Randy's on the bump, George is behind the plate. Yay!
Go Brewers!
White Trash Wednesdays
So apparently, other than my job interfering, there is a new reason for me to avoid Wednesday day games at Miller Park.
Children under the age of 14 are half-price. Cheap people take advantage. Thus, droves of barely supervised kids run amok, ruining my day.
Okay, so today, the Brewers losing their 3rd series in a row kinda ruined my day, too. But still. The kids didn't help.
So I took my very well-behaved niece to the game instead of just having a boring day babysitting her at my house. We sat in Bernie's Terrace (soooooo basically the last section, the most obstructions, overall terrible seats) because it wasn't until yesterday afternoon I even decided going to the game would be a good idea.
My bad.
I realize now that the cheapest seat in the house is not a place I ever want to be again.
Call me a snob. Call me….whatever you'd like. I don't really care. But I'm sorry, I cannot be around that many unruly children at one time.
Oh, you don't see a problem with your kids climbing up and down the seats? It's totally acceptable for them to throw peanuts to get each other's attention? Is that because you're the only adult presence for the 9 kids you brought with you? Yes, why don't you send the 10 year old to take the three 4 year olds to the bathroom–that seems responsible. And don't forget to have a beer or two while you're not paying attention to the kids you probably volunteered to take.
Meanwhile, little Piper watched the game (and cheered very loudly for her favorite Brewer Ryan Braun), asked politely for a snack, WALKED to and from our seats and when I told her she may pick out a souvenir from the Team Store, she didn't get whiny or pout or cry when I told her she had to keep it under $20. She stayed out of other people's ways, said please and thank you when she bought her soda and held my hand when she thought I was getting too far ahead of her.
Such a good little girl.
And I'm sure there were other obedient kids at the game. But I honestly did not encounter any of them. Which is a total shame. Because after 7 years of working at the zoo (and one bad day at Miller Park), I loathe being around other people's children. Especially on days with discounts. It's like bad parents come out of the woodwork and bring their equally bad, if not worse, children with them. And, hell, bring the neighbor's horrible kiddies, too! Why not?
Sorry, I just had to get that out.
So the game. What's there to say, really? Shaun Marcum pitched 3 innings, Brewers and Rays were tied at 2 for awhile and Marco Estrada gave up a 3 run homer or something? I don't know. I had to pay attention to the kid I had in tow. We were shopping at the Team Store. I honestly wasn't paying much attention after the 5th inning. Regardless of how it happened, the Brewers eventually lost 6-3. Piper and I were at Gillie's getting custard when the game-ending text came my way.
Milwaukee has an off-day tomorrow to regroup. Or something. I don't know. The Twins come to town Friday and, unfortunately, after that, the Brewers still have two more interleague series. On the road. In NYC. And Minnesota.
Probables for the weekend are Randy Wolf (5-4, 3.15) v. Scott Baker (5-4, 3.24), Yovani Gallardo (8-4, 4.11) v. Francisco Liriano (4-6, 4.59) and Chris "Narv Dog" Narveson (4-5, 4.55) v. Carl Pavano (5-5, 4.05). I'll be going to Sunday's game and as luck would have it, Narv Dog has won every game I've seen him start going back to September of 2009. At least I can't remember him losing any. I could be totally glamorizing that statistic. (And I probably am.)
And, totally unrelated, but Albert Pujols is out for at least 4-6 weeks.
You mean…no! Prince Albert? Broken bones?? It can't be! He's infallible! Whatever will the Cardinals do? They can't possibly have a replacement first baseman!
Oh. Wait. They have Lance Berkman. All-Star first baseman. Not too shabby of a hitter, either.
Yeah, great. Pujols got hurt. Can we PLEASE sto talking about it already???
So, anyway…
Go Brewers!
That series was wicked bad
Why does it seem, every season, the Brewers have to face the oft-dominating teams of the AL in interleague play?
Two months ago, I wouldn't have been to bothered to face Boston. They started the season 0-6 and slid uncomfortably into last place in the AL East, all the while the Brewers held themselves up towards the top of the standings in the NL Central. And, despite a bit of a tailspin, Milwaukee has finally begun to establish themselves as a team to be reckoned with, but they were thrust into their first interleague series after a dismal showing at Wrigley. And, as luck would have it, the first series was on the road at Fenway Park.
After finally posting a W on the third try in a 4 game series in Chicago, I thought maybe the Brewers could split the series and swoop into Boston with a little bit of momentum. Instead, Thursday's game at the hole that is Wrigley proved to be disastrous and the Crew fell to the Cubs 12-7, handing Zack Greinke his second loss of the season. So any hope of an upswing to start the series in Boston was long gone.
It's not that the Brewers didn't try. They just ran into a couple of insurmountable issues from their starting pitchers.
Friday night Milwaukee held a brief 2-0 lead, but starter Shaun Marcum left the game after a 44-pitch first inning with a hip injury. Even after a 2 more RBIs, Marco Estrada took the loss after giving up 3 more ERs, but Boston kept plugging away for an eventual 10-4 win.
Game 1 = crap on a spatula.
Last night's game handed Randy Wolf an early 2-0 lead after back-to-back homeruns for DH Rickie Weeks and Corey Hart. Ryan Braun followed with a line-drive double but was unable to cross the plate and the Red Sox tied it up at 2 in the second. My favorite (almost) MLB beard George Kottaras had a solo homer in the 3rd, followed by a Casey McGehee RBI single to give the lead back to Milwaukee. Wolf went 7 innings and Kameron Loe held the game at 4-2 for John Axford to come in for the save.
Game 2 = barely squeaking by, but I'll take it.
So today…
Today was horrendous. Yovani Gallardo somehow managed to go 3 full innings, despite basically serving Boston a 6-0 lead on a silver freaking platter in the first. (Yo left with no outs in the 4th and an 8-2 deficit.) Nyjer Morgan hit his 2nd homerun of the season just barely over the right field wall to give the Brewers a couple runs but the bullpen failed to hold the Sox at bay. Sergio Mitre and Mark DiFelice combined for 4 innings and 4 runs. The only pitcher that didn't allow a run to score was LaTroy Hawkins.
Game 3 = bad. Wicked bad.
The Brewers may have only been on the road for 7 games, but the home confines of Miller Park are going to be a very welcome sight. Tampa Bay comes into town first. The Rays just swept the Marlins in 3 games and if the Brewers are going to put a halt to TBs momentum, they need to shake off the horrid roadtrip. The fact that Marcum's scheduled start for Wednesday is up in the air could put a damper on things, too. Chris "Narv Dog" Narveson (4-4, 4.48 ERA) gets the nod in game 1 tomorrow. Narv is coming off a good start in Chicago, taking home the only win of the series. He faces Jeff Niemann (1-4, 4.74 ERA), a tall righty who hasn't won a game since April 28th.
After Tampa, the Brewers have to face the Minnesota Twins, who have been knocking so hard at the basement door, someone finally let them out. Minnesota has won their last 3 series, including a sweep of the Padres. The Twins have always been a tough opponent for Milwaukee but you have to hope with the way the Brewers have been able to play at home that they may have better luck this season. Plus, I'm going on Sunday and the Brewers have yet to lose a Sunday game that I'm at. (Knock on wood.)
So anyway, I'm gonna try to forget the last week's worth of games and I suggest the Brewers do the same. They're really gonna need to pick themselves up soon if they're gonna get out of interleague play alive.
Go Brewers!
Let's celebrate!

UK ebay. It only has two days left at the time of posting. This is what the seller says...
I bought this bike approximately 18 months ago from Chichester Honda. I was told that the one previous owner owned a motocross school and he'd only used it during lessons.
I converted it for flat track using a 19 inch SM Pro front wheel and hub. The rear wheel on this 2009 model is also 19 inch. Suspension was prepared by Woody at JWR in Lincolnshire. All the other relevant mods have been applied, for example, a speedway kill switch. The tyres are dtr1 medium compound as you would expect if you race flat track. I only raced this bike 3 times during the last event of the 2015 season but have arttended several (about 10) practice sessions. I'm a qualified motorcycle mechanic, and during all this she's had more than enough oil / filter changes. The only reason I'm selling is due to bigger commitments at work making it difficult to devote the time to racing that I would have wished.

As I've mentioned in previous blog posts, foundation is the final step to any good skin care routine. After washing and moisturizing your skin you have to protect it from all of the dirt, dust, pollen, etc that the world brings to us at the moment we stepped out of the door. It's also important that we are wearing the right type of foundation for our skin whether it be the type (liquid, powder, creme, etc), the formula (for oily or dry skin), or the undertone (warm, cool, or neutral). And it is said that about 95% of women aren't wearing the right shade. If all these factors are correct then your skin should look smooth, flawless, and healthy. Mary Kay just came out with a new foundation line which fits all of these categories so I'm excited to share it with the world!
The Mary Kay Timewise 3D Foundation:
1. Provides 12 hours of coverage
2. Has IntelliMatch technology to properly match your shade
3. Includes the Age Minimize 3D complex to help with youthful looking skin
These three facts mean so much to me as it pertains to this foundation. We all have busy lives and to know that my makeup will stay on my face for 12 hours without having to constantly touch it up. That's one less thing to have to worry about! And the IntelliMatch technology is cool because it "captured the authentic, true skin tones of thousands of women from around the world. Three areas were scanned (forehead, cheek and décolleté) to capture over 3,000 variations of tone for more accurate data." Through all this research the foundation shades now match more perfectly. And I love when I product is doing more than one thing at a time so I'm glad it also had the Age Minimize 3D complex as well. This is the same formula they have in the skin care so it's also providing help with keeping or getting younger looking skin.
Here are some other facts:
Comes in matte formula for oily skin and luminous formula for dry skin
Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy
Suitable for sensitive skin
Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
Fragrance-free and oil-free
What I love about it
This product is very rich and pigmented so you don't need a lot to get full coverage. Plus we have a new blending brush which helps with the full coverage look. It also goes on so creamy and leaves my skin looking smooth. Also, I used to have a lot of issues with having to touch up my makeup throughout the day because my face was so oily but this formula keeps the matte look going all day! I would recommend everyone give this a try and right now Mary Kay has a contest going where you can win a trip for two to California!
This contest is only for US citizens. If you have a Mary Kay Consulant, please contact them to enter. If you do not, you can contact me and I can either send a sample of if you live in the DC, MD, VA area I could meet up with you to try it on.
This foundation cost $25 and has an average use-up rate of 1.1 months. To order this foundation, click here.

Enhancing the Halo
Morgan Foundation
'Enhancing the Halo' is an initiative started by the Morgan Foundation to help make the city safe for native wildlife, one backyard at a time. We helped out with this worthy cause by providing designs for the campaign.
Visit the Halo website
Enhancing the Halo logo
The logo we designed is simple, casual and fun. We've used the fantail as it's well known and loved by Kiwis for it's unique plumage and playfulness.
Billboard skin
The mobile billboard has been all around Wellington promoting the Halo campaign. It features some of our region's famous native birds and illustrates the purpose of the campaign in a simple, clear style. We hope it will help to increase exposure and get more Wellingtonians onboard with this great project.
Letterbox drop
The Morgan Foundation also started a competition to win a $5,000 backyard makeover to help encourage Wellingtonians to get started on making their backyards safer. They had to get the message out somehow, that's where we came in!
"Zing Design have put together more website conversion strategies than most people have even started to think about. They are an expert team with an obvious passion for their craft. We have worked with Zing Design for a number of years and I have no hesitation in recommending them 'Äì they are indispensible. Long may our association continue!"

I was introduced to House Music in the early 90's in LA Ca. U.S.A. My early inspirations were local Dj's at the time, Like Barry Weaver, Doc Martin, and Steve Loria. After countless parties and watching them I felt the calling to give Dj'ing a try and starting my quest.
I have to thank my good friend Rudy Artavia for letting me practice and play with his equipment. After countless hours of practice and learning the ropes I was hooked.
I always told myself that I wanted to continue to learn and understand this music well enough to make it, and that still is my goal today. I also have aspirations of starting my own label, and building my own club one day.
I have played many clubs, and places over the years and had a great time doing it, but as soon as my son Nikko was born I had to get serious, with work and my career. I started online Dj'ing 7 years ago and absolutely love it. I have made House freaks my home for the past 5 years on Sundays and maintained my commitment to be 1 of the longest Dj's playing on the site.
I have also worked with Spence Chicago to hold down a Thursday Night show on undergroundhouse.tv
I look forward to sharing my love for this music on House Heads with my show Sound Therapy Sessions... every Sunday 8-10 PM GMT, 12-2 PM PST
Here are some links to me and my mixes-

Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelsmann warned after throwing bottle at fan
The German Football Association (DFB) has warned Hoffenheim head coach Julian Nagelsmann after he threw a bottle at a supporter during the 3-1 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.
Nagelsmann threw a bottle into the stands and struck the fan on his head after Thorgan Hazard had pulled level for Monchengladbach near the hour-mark.
Nagelsmann, who said he had meant to hit a wall, apologised to the 61-year-old Hoffenheim supporter.
The DFB chose not to open an investigation into the incident and instead submitted a written warning to the Hoffenheim boss.
"He did not intend to hit the spectator with the plastic bottle," the DFB said in a statement. "And the coach personally apologised to the spectator and in public."
However, the DFB warned Nagelsmann "to refrain from throwing such objects in the future."
Following the incident, Nagelsmann said he was sorry and that this "must not happen and will not happen again."

Puppy Mills
Two years ago, I was asked by my vet tech to foster an 11 year old puppy mill surrender named Teddy. He arrived with a harness and leash attached and I soon learned why. He never, ever left his crate and the only way to get him out of it was by pulling on the leash. He was afraid of everything, especially people. He clearly had been abused. I always made sure to pet my other Poms within Teddy's view so he could see that they were getting affection. Finally, after close to six months, Teddy approached me for a pet, shaking like a leaf. He had finally decided that he wanted one of those pets! It was very brave of him. In time he learned to play with my other Pomeranians and he became very protective of them. He got so attached that I decided that his senior years would be happy and I adopted him. I've never regretted it. Teddy is a gentle, happy little dog now with a soul that never quit. I finally threw his crate away because he didn't go into it anymore - he sleeps curled up to his Pomeranian friends.
U.S. animal shelters euthanize 3 million to 4 million cats and dogs every year, and yet pet industry statistics show that about one third of the nation's 11,000 pet stores continue to sell puppies. Many of these dogs come from puppie mills—mass commercial breeding operations that put profit above the health and welfare of the puppies and their parents. More...
Worlds oldest dog..... The oldest dog that has been reliably documented was an Australian cattle-dog named Bluey. He was put to sleep at the age of 29 years and 5 months!

I just received my Debian 2.2 CDs from Cheapbytes
I decided to run `md5sum' on each file on the CD-ROM, and compare its output with the file /cdrom/md5sum.txt. I was surprised to find that they differed.
(there are many other such files):
I'm really not surprised. I had CheapBytes RH and had all sorts of problems with the CDs. It was these problems that convinced me that I needed to get some new Linux CDs, from there it was a small matter to decide to move everything to Debian (rather than just have it on my laptop). CheapBytes have guaranteed no repeat business from this quarter. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Auckland Council is being prosecuted over the death of a 19-year-old woman.
Refuse worker Jane Devonshire was killed in August last year when a rubbish truck, owned by Auckland Council contractor Onyx, went over a cliff in Birkenhead on the North Shore.
Devonshire, of West Harbour, was crushed in the incident which happened on her fifth week in the job.
A council spokeswoman confirmed to the Herald that a single charge has been laid against them and council will not comment on the issue while the case is before the courts.
It's understood the charge laid by Worksafe New Zealand is under the Health and Safety Act for failing to take all practicable steps to ensure contracted workers are not harmed and council are due to appear in North Shore District Court on March 18.
The legal action comes after Devonshire's family called for council to be held responsible and for barriers, fences or a roading mirror to be erected so no one else's life is cut short by a similar tragedy.
Shortly after the tragedy, Jane Devonshire's father, Philip Devonshire, said:
"Too young, far too young. She was a fun-loving, outgoing person.. They need to do something about it. We need to know something will be done about it. This can't happen again."
Her sister, Maria Douglas, also said at the time she was dreading seeing the place where her baby sister took her last breaths.
"When we started coming down the hill [to the crash site], I thought: 'I don't want to go any further'. But I had to. She was my sister," she said.
"Rest in peace, I love you so much in my heart."
Residents spoke of three other vehicles - including a concrete mixer, car and another truck carrying a digger - that have careened over the edge of the same bank in the last 30 years.
However, told the Herald an Auckland Transport spokesman said there had been no crashes reported within a 50m radius of the Hebe Place and Kauri Road intersection in the past 20 years.
An Onyx driver died when his rubbish truck crashed into a house in the same North Shore suburb. Avondale man Patrick Harrison, 51, died in the July 2007 crash in Radiata Lane, only a few streets away from the incident involving Devonshire.

If you drive in California – with two exceptions – never, ever blow into a breathalyzer or any breath testing device if a police officer is investigating you for DUI. The two exceptions are:
- If you are under the age of 21, you must blow into a breath testing device if a police officer requests it, or you could lose your driver's license for a year.
- If you are on probation for a prior DUI conviction, you must also blow into a breath testing device if a police officer requests it. One term of probation is that you may not drive with any measurable amount of alcohol in your blood. If you refuse to submit to a breath test, you could lose your driver's license for a year along with a penalty for violating the terms of your probation.
Unless one of these two exceptions applies to you, never blow into an alcohol breath testing device when asked to do so by a police officer. If you're accused of DUI in southern California, now or in the future, get the help you need and speak at once with an experienced Orange County DUI lawyer. When you're stopped by a police officer who conducts a DUI investigation, the officer may ask you to blow into a Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) Machine. You have the right to decline this test. California Law requires the officer to advise you that the PAS test is voluntary and that you have the right to decline it. Sometimes officers neglect to advise drivers of this right.
Perhaps the most important reason that you should never blow into an alcohol breath testing device is a recent ruling from the California Supreme Court. In People v. Vangelder, the court decided that defendants accused of driving with a blood alcohol content level above 0.08 percent (the "legal limit") cannot challenge the science and overall reliability of breath testing devices. The Vangelder ruling does not eliminate your right to challenge the accuracy of a particular breath test result, but it prevents defendants from challenging the "science" of alcohol breath testing.
Decline the breath test, but be polite. You'll probably be arrested after declining, but don't panic. Make the call at once and put your DUI case in the hands of a trustworthy, experienced Orange County DUI lawyer as quickly as possible.

I'm tempted to like Ingenium's creativity, and I feel it does good at what it says it's trying to do. I do, however, have some gripes.
Characters can almost always be custom tailored for any purpose, but it's also very easy to create a very, very powerful mage quickly (admittedly, he'd get no more than five shots, and most likely just one right off the bat), which seems a little dangerous.
A d10 is very, very easy to have result in an almost guaranteed outcome, and somewhat imprecise, but in a game meant for heroic fantasy, that can be excused.
There is a mix of information overload and not terribly much in some parts. The section on casting magic takes about five pages, but the actual lists of spells go 21 pages, meaning that over a quarter of the book is devoted to magic alone (though, admittedly, the lists are nice to give diversity, and it beats a d6-style system in terms of how much math you have to do for the result).
There's almost no setting information, but this is not plain negative, since there is some merit in having the setting open to players and game masters, but the creativity elsewhere paints this in a bad light.
All in all, I like it, but instead of just leaving me wanting more, it leaves me hungry for more, which is probably not desired.

Sophomore Success & Opinions on Grinderman
After every successful debut comes the dreaded"Sophomore Slump."This week Jim and Greg highlight artists that managed to defeat this streak and release a "Sophomore Success". Then it's time to review Grinderman's sophomore album, Grinderman 2.Subscribe via iTunesDownload This Episode
Music News
Jim and Greg have talked on the show before about France's"3 Strikes"downloading law before on the show, and they've been wondering when the US will present its own anti-piracy initiative. Well, the Senate just did. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont introduced the "Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act", a bipartisan bill that would allow the D.O.J. to shut down websites with pirated content. Record labels and Hollywood studios have been waiting for this for some time. Jim points out that a similar bill was introduced during the Bush administration, but, perhaps rightly so, some lawmakers didn't feel the government should be footing the bill for these legal actions. With President Obama's appointment of an Intellectual Property Czar, Greg sees a trend toward supporting corporate copyright holders in this administration.
In related news, U2's manager Paul McGuinness recently published his own manifesto about the future of the music industry as it relates to downloading. There are few men as powerful in music today, so his words carry a lot of weight, but Jim and Greg aren't sure McGuinness is being very forward thinking. He feels that internet service providers are not doing enough to catch pirates, and that the solution is to bundle royalty costs into your internet fee. U2 is one of the few bands, like Radiohead, who could choose to revolutionize their business model. But, disappointingly, it's business as usual for them.
Sophomore Success
They say that it takes a lifetime to make your first record and only a few months to make your second. If that's true, then it's no surprise that most artists face the dreaded"sophomore slump."But, a rare few second albums meet or even exceed the first effort. Here are Jim & Greg's picks for Sophomore Success Stories:
Grinderman Grinderman 2
Now it comes time to look at a new sophomore effort: Grinderman 2. Nick Cave's blues punk side project wowed Jim and Greg with its debut. And with this one, they've proved they can do more than just pure, raw energy. Jim hears a lot more experimentation, but also a lot more melody. Greg even found some songs just plain creepy. He calls Cave a wonderful"nasty rock and roll machine."Grinderman 2 gets a double Buy It.

Your feet work hard during hiking adventures, pushing you up steep mountainsides, scrambling over loose rocks, trudging through swift rivers and dance with elation when you finally reach an epic panoramic viewpoint. Choosing the best hiking boots to complement your foot and stride is a virtual necessity to ensure a fun and successful hiking adventure.
This best list examines some of the best hiking boots based on support, comfort, attention to detail such as toe guards, ankle support and traction as well as overall performance. Positive consumer reviews were also taken into consideration to further validate manufacturer's claims.
Don't rely solely on the words of others; what may be the most wondrous shoe for one person may hardly be suited for your foot width and natural stride. Do your research, test out boot options on varied surfaces, and leave ample time to break in boots in before venturing out on any hikes.
Asolo Power Matic 200 GV Gore-Tex Hiking Boots
These boots are arguably among the best and most comfortable hiking boots on the market. Their design and advanced supportive technology make them ideal for backpacking and arduous hiking adventures in any weather. Read Full Review
Although a pricey option, these Asolo boots are widely reputed to be worth every penny. The Power Matic in the name refers to the boot's insanely advanced midsole which contains triple-density polyurethane in specific areas to provide maximal support and stability while absorbing shock from trail rocks and uneven ground. Try walking over a riverbed of rocks and loose debris in your sneakers and then doing the same thing in these boots, the difference is insane.
These boots prevent ankles from rolling and glide over uneven surfaces like they were perfectly flat and paved. Gore-Tex liners in the boots provide full waterproof protection and Vibram outsoles tackle the toughest terrain. There's killer midsole technology and full-grain leather uppers which make these boots pretty heavy (close to four pounds depending on shoe size).
Salomon Quest 4D GTX Men's Hiking Boots
This hiking boot is tough, offers excellent traction, and provides incredible support and protection on intense terrain. This boot will carry you through everything from an easy day hike to a long-term backpacking trip. Read Full Review
The Quest 4D GTX is an excellent all-around hiking boot. This top-performing boot is incredibly comfortable with users mentioning it required no break-in prior to their first hike, offers stellar ankle support, and provides great traction for wet or slick surfaces. Waterproof Gore-Tex membranes keep your feet nice and dry while providing ventilation to keep them cool.
A combination of mesh nylon and split suede leather helps this shoe weigh less without compromising strength or durability. The removable foot beds add further comfort and shock absorption as well as treated with an antimicrobial agent to minimize foot odors.
Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Shoes
This boot is a definitive top pick for women's hiking boots. It's ideally suited for practically any purpose you may need a hiking boot for, whether long day hikes to intense winter backpacking trips. Read Full Review
The Renegade is the best pick for women's hiking boots with hundreds of positive user reviews raving about this boot's insane level of support and comfort. Nubuck leather and Cordura nylon ankle straps work together to create a reinforced fortress of protection and stability for your foot. The seamless Gore-Tex lining offers excellent and reliable waterproofing while polyurethane monowrap frame construction is extremely supportive and cuts back on overall boot weight.
This boot is available in narrow and wide fits and comes in 11 different colors; just because it's the wilderness doesn't mean you can't express your unique personality. If you typically require extra arch support, consider adding an insert to this boot for additional comfort.
Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots
The Targhee II Mid is waterproof, sturdy and offers extremely good traction, all at a affordable price point. This hiking boot is ideal for backpacking, canyoneering and day hiking. Read Full Review
The Targhee II Mid is another super comfortable, top performing women's hiking boot and a more cost effective option than the Renegade. This boot is an excellent choice for day hikes in addition to canyoneering or light backpacking trips. Flip this shoe upside down and you'll see some hard core 4mm lugs to anchor you to your trail when necessary like wet slippery rocks or black ice.
The KEEN.DRY lining offers great waterproof protection and breathable enough to keep excess heat away from your foot. The boot height and nylon shanks provide ample ankle support and help keep your footing secure while crossing over rugged terrain and uneven areas. Don't worry about accidentally kicking a small cactus or gnarly rock, the rubber toe guards on this boot shield tootsies like a solid brick house.
Hi-Tec Men's Altitude IV WP Hiking Boot
The Altitude IV hiking boots are a great pick for hiking and pretty much every other outdoor activity. These boots are absurdly waterproof, durable, and include a tough outsole to carry you over jagged rock and other hiking mainstays. Read Full Review
These boots are phenomenal when it comes to waterproof reliability and overall versatility. While they will serve you well on any epic hiking adventure, they also transition to pretty much any other activity you want to take them on. The outsole is very durable, the lightweight midsole adds welcome cushion, and the waterproof leather upper adds simple yet rugged flair. As an added bonus, the manufacturer offers a one-year warranty and a 60-day Comfort Guarantee.

Consumer journalist, Wendy Knowler says although it is becoming a cliche, consumers will have to tighten their belts even more.
She says salaries have not increased to meet the rising costs of food, fuel, and municipal bills, leaving those who are feeling poor even poorer.
Now people have to cut back and cut back on expenditure...— Wendy Knowler, Consumer Journalist
She says sometimes people go to the extent of cancelling things that they shouldn't, like car insurance and medical aid, just to avoid defaulting on home loans or car payments.
People certainly can't afford to have luxuries anymore, says Knowler.
What we need to do now is to sit down and separate our wants from our needs...— Wendy Knowler, Consumer Journalist
For example you are not going to die if you don't have DSTV.— Wendy Knowler, Consumer Journalist

Dance music today. KIDS today. It's all Skrillex [wub wub wub]. Or it's that awful song about the guy who "w-w-w-w-work[s] OUT" that's supposed to sound "tongue-in-cheek" but is just an endless blitz of douchebombs. People, we all know this schlock isn't the future of dance music. So, what is? Could it be… new wave electronic dabke?
What's a new wave electronic dabke, you ask? Well, envision Omar Souleyman locked in a recording studio with Duran Duran. Nah, scratch that. Just imagine Omar Souleyman-style jams, as he's the maestro with whom most Westerners are probably familiar. And if that's not working for you, imagine this: a synth-infused take on the hypnotic, special-occasion party music (think weddings, etc.) traditional to the Levantine Middle East. Dabke is characterized by the use of the mejwiz (a double-reed bamboo flute), hand percussion, and vocal chants, and it's the jam du jour of for Syrians, Bedouins, Palestinians, Jordanians, and Druze in the Houran region in the south of Syria and the northwest of Jordan. And now the good people at Sham Palace have compiled their favorite dabke tracks culled from cassettes and discs recorded during the 90s-00s and sold throughout the Houran region, putting them all onto a nice, shiny new LP called Dabke: Sounds of the Syrian Houran that's sure to rock your socks off and tie up your dancin' shoes.
Dabke is the second release (after a Souleyman 2xLP) for Sham Palace, the label run by Mark Gergis, the man behind several Middle Eastern/Southeast Asian collections for the always amazing Sublime Frequencies label. Fun fact: Gergis is the man who introduced the much-ballyhooed Omar Souleyman to the West after seeing him perform in Syria in 1997. He arranged/produced Souleyman's collabos with Icelandic pixie genius Björk last year. Dabke: Sounds of the Syrian Houran hits stores on June 19 and is limited to a pressing of 1,000 copies.
Dabke tracklisting:
A1. Ahmad Al Kosem, "Love Is Not a Joke"
A2. Mohamed Al Ali, "Mili Alay (Sway to Me)"
A3. Abu Sultan, "Your Love Made My Head Hurt"
B1. Ahmad Al Kosem, "Ma Dal Anouh (I Will Grieve Until I See Her Again)"
B2. Abu Wafsi, "Deg Deg Dagdeglo"
B3. Obeid Al Jum'aa, " Instrumental Mejwiz"
B4. Faraj Kadah/Ashraf Abu Leil, "Afrah Houran (Houran Weddings)"
