The world faces many challenges, and we increasingly recognize that research into these challenges and their solutions can benefit from greater public engagement. ReCCES works to increase engagement between academic and community members that results in benefits for both.
Science and technology have revolutionized the way that people live. While technology has, for the most part, been embraced globally (for example, there are now well over 1 billion users of mobile telephones and over 100 million users of VoIP) most people still find science inaccessible and daunting. Why is there such a difference when science and technology are two sides of the same coin? Perhaps because people see the relevance of technology to their lives while science remains largely isolated in universities, labs, and other areas out of sight from the public domain. Technology has been sold to the public, science generally has not.
The principal marketplace for science is school, college, and university. Education is the advertising. If the students don't see a product they like, it will never be bought. If it isn't bought, it will not be used; if it isn't used, it will go to waste. It is the responsibility of scientists and educators to provide people from all walks of life (including other scientists and educators) with lessons that are useful to them. This means spending time designing a range of products for different target groups, trying them out, getting feedback, modifying them, and trying again. This does not mean that students will necessarily get everything that they want (anybody for a straight-A without any work?), but it does mean they will get something that is interesting and useful, that they want to have and use, for a lifetime. Once the 'software' is in place, free upgrades are available on the internet and TV, in books and magazines, at the local museum, national park, and zoo (to name but a few).

Beyond four walls: treating a neighborhood as work infrastructure.
By Melissa Tapper Goldman, co-founder, The Village Works
Editor's note: Melissa Tapper Goldman is a Think Tank member for the Boston and San Francisco Workplace Innovation Summits on October 27th and November 17th.
When co-founding The Village Works, a coworking space four blocks from the Boston city line in Brookline, Massachusetts, I set out to build a neighborhood workspace. This was a model that centers a neighborhood—rather than a specific industry or company—as our constituency. Startup-centric coworking is now a multi-billion dollar global industry, but the space of neighborhood office infrastructure is relatively less explored. As a team of designers ourselves, we knew that much of the value we could provide was in infusing design thinking into both our space planning and our business decisions, making every square foot of our space work triple time for us and our community. We took immense care with the details: sights, sounds, smells, programming, human-scale design. And we collaborated closely with a talented architect and design-build fabricator.
But there was a key element to our process as designer-developers that preceded the planning and reuse of our 19th century hardware store. Site selection was as integral as any choice we made in the buildout process or in launching our community. By the nature of our model, we're small. But this tactic of urban acupuncture is potentially scalable in the right neighborhoods and with a sensitive approach.
From urban design and planning perspectives, where a workplace lives has impact well beyond what happens inside. When we launched, we knew that we were entering a local business ecosystem and that our infusion of 50+ workers and visitors every day to our village square could impact the direction of other local development. We also designed for whole-life solutions to address people's rapidly shifting work and home obligations. This "work near home" setup provides the fluidity, comfort, and professional infrastructure necessary for a generation of workers to "redesign" their own lives (hint: it's not so easy). Near home means that the location is intrinsic to the space and community. The neighborhood is both a part of our members' sense of home—and the neighborhood is an extension of our space itself.
We asked questions about our neighborhood and our site. Would there be childcare within walking distance, with options for nursing mothers? Would there be a place to buy a loaf of bread, or get dry cleaning done? What about a post office, a barber shop, a notary, bank, gym, or dentist? Was it at the nexus of different neighborhoods, bringing multiple forms of diversity to support a robust community? Was it commutable by foot and bike as well as public transit and car, fostering low-emissions commutes while remaining resilient to inevitable interruptions in access? These are elements that we can't provide independently, but we can create proximity and real relationships with other local offerings including small businesses.
We know that physical design of a workplace has cascading impacts on both user experience and corporate bottom line, from health and job satisfaction to productivity and space utilization. We've seen this embraced and explored in the past decade, particularly in the tech industry, as companies like Google, Facebook and Apple have invested in massive campuses, reinventing the physical office and reimagining the what an office can be. This exploration is as true in the physical design as the temporal, while the workday is overhauled and reprogrammed through shifting norms of how we work, where we work, and the commingling of work, play, and personal obligations (yes, Google has an on-site dentist). It's an exciting time in workplace design.
At The Village Works, we wanted to provide a platform for our community to address their whole-life needs. Rather than build an inward-facing campus, we looked for ways to plug into (and support) a living local economy. It turns out that to find workplace amenities, you don't need to build them from scratch within fortified walls. They're right here in our own towns and cities. We were committed to supporting local enterprise and entrepreneurs—inside and outside of our walls—knowing that the campus model not only fails to support the local business ecosystem, it can actually drain away both customers and resources. Our choice of site would mean investing more vibrancy into our neighborhood—or siphoning it away.
Actually, the choice is not so easy, since amenities like parking are cheaper and more plentiful outside the city center, and leasing retail storefront is a significant expense. In the end, we found a three-story building, a mix of storefront and back office, located next to major rail and bus lines and a bike share hub. We're in a village center with its own small gravitational pull, near the city but not in the city center.
We are an office during the day and an event space at night, but our storefront is part of our contribution to the urban design of the neighborhood 24/7. It's both attractive and active, showcasing more kinds of activity than the shopping and banking that are largely front and center. For us, storefront is both marketing and visual contribution, inviting the public in and sparking curiosity about our space, while reinforcing to our members a feeling of connectedness to sidewalk life all day long. We worked with service designer Andrew Shea of MANY Design on a logo and visual presence that's both fresh and solid, a modern anchor in a historic district, while we highlight the personality of our 19th-century building. The Town of Brookline's facade review required us to formalize and solidify our vision, opening us up to community input in a productive process. And our synergistic collaboration with the town's economic development planners and Economic Development Advisory Board began years before we launched, with goodwill and a desire on both sides to work toward common goals.
Nationwide, we're now seeing large companies inside and outside of tech move to the city, availing themselves of shifting rental markets and perhaps realizing the value of the investments already made in cities: through government, zoning and existing businesses.
Recently, Boston has been involved with a bid to attract Amazon's campus to the northeast. Joe Curtatone, the progressive mayor of adjoining city Somerville, has added a vision not of an isolated, fortified compound, but a distributed network of offices, warehouses, and work centers expanding along train lines, filling transit-adjacent vacancies and supporting a dense city community that already exists. The dentists are already there, as are the workforce and plans for infrastructure. Popular urbanists like Richard Florida are beginning to talk about major companies' responsibilities to the city.
The truth is that no company will be the city's savior. The goals of the city and of private enterprise aren't always aligned. But as we continue to reformulate the places that work happens—both inside our buildings and within our cities–we can make smart decisions and embody design leadership as citizens and small entities as well as major players. We can build well in smart, multi-beneficial locales and support the public square when we have opportunities. We can treat neighborhoods as the tremendous assets they already are.

The non-partisan Next Generation Democracy Project has been formed with the goal of increasing civic engagement of Next Generation Americans, and motivating them to make sustained progress on the economic, environmental, security, and social challenges that will define their time.
The Project will convene national leaders in politics, academia, entertainment, technology, business, and philanthropy who are expert at developing creative and novel ideas for civic engagement. The task force will frame a nuanced definition of "next generation democracy" — an age cohort with unique values, diversity and social norms; a class of technologies and media with civic import; civic activities that include volunteerism, advocacy, voting and more; and a collection of issues that are particularly salient and motivating to young Americans.
The Next Generation Democracy Project is a joint effort of Next Generation and SS+K. Read more about the project

Measuring cell viability and death mechanisms is indispensable for testing new compounds, treatment regiments and other toxicological questions. Since cell-culture experiments are cost- and time-consuming the combination of assays is desirable to maximize data output of an experiment. Here, we present the multiplexing of cell viability with either apoptosis assays or with a reporter system indicating living cells, to obtain cell number-corrected viability values.
Using the fluorescent CellTiter-Blue™ assay which measures the cellular redox potential with the luminescent Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay indicated the loss of viability and induction of apoptosis in Jurkat cellsupon addition of the Fas-Ligand, an apoptosis-inducer. Similar results were obtained using CellTier-Blue® with Apo-ONE, a substrate cleaved by caspases to a fluorescent molecule.
Relating viability measured by CellTiter-Glo® to a live cell reporter luciferase assay resulted in a stable viability signal in undisturbed cells irrespective of cell proliferation.
BMG LABTECH multi-mode plate readers offer the required sensitivity and flexibility to read multiple assays in one well.

Mequon fire crews rescue two girls from floodwaters
Firefighters in Mequon helped two girls who were trapped in floodwaters Thursday.
The girls were trapped in their car with floodwaters on the road quickly rising.
"The girls drove around the high-water sign," said Mequon Fire Chief David Bialk. "It got a little too high, the water. The car turned off, they called 911. We came here, got a boat out so they didn't have to get wet, and we brought them back."
Bialk said the water on a side road off Highland Avenue was blocked. It was up to knee level Thursday night and continued to rise.
Firefighters gave the girls a life boat to get on and they eventually pulled them to safety.
"They were just concerned that the car had stopped and it was moving underneath them, so that's why they called 911," Bialk said.
The girls were given some warm clothes and were sent into a waiting ambulance to be checked out. Bialk said they were OK, but getting a tow truck to the car would be a challenge.
Signs blocking off roads with water on them are there for a reason, Bialk said, and should be obeyed.
"Don't drive around the high-water signs," he said.
This car was the only one Mequon firefighters responded to since the floodwaters started to seep into neighborhoods. He said most residents and local business owners have been taking advantage of sandbagging in the Mequon and Thiensville area and have been using sump pumps.

It's yet another Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? post from me, myself and I. This lazy and nearly moronic post is brought you by: Spongubobuu!! Yes, I pass the blame on him.
Episode 4 was pretty much a great episode and thus I'll start with the bad point. Hmmm wait; there is a lack of transition between the scene where Yuu cries and the one with the megallo fight. Even though it looked more on purpose, I thought it wasn't well done. In addition, the masou shoujo transformation from Ayumu remains a burn to my eyes.
In this episode, we get the most touching moment of the series where Yuu cried after explaining her situation to Ayumu. She can't speak because her magic powers are too strong for her to control. Poor Yuu ❤
Oh yeah did I say Masou Shoujo Ayumu turned into a Super Masoujin? It was funny to see Ayumu do a pink power up and upgrade to an even cuter suit (lol). Plus, the masou shoujo finally did a KICK!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, Twin Tail Girl is dead (lol). Was it murder or was it suicide? Who knows…not that it matters to me considering I don't have a twin tail fetish :p The one character I didn't expect to die was the newly introduced Doberman, Cerberus!! WHY?!?! A talking demon dog is what I wanted on this show!!
BTW, I've been wondering about this:
I give this episode a 8/10. Now I need some Morning Rescue!!

I woke up that morning. I opened the door to my room. In stead of the passageway of my house, I stepped on to a beach. I heard the sound of the waves. I saw a beautiful sun rise, but the breeze from the
Just before I had gone to sleep the previous night, I was sitting on the beach, alone, staring into the vast expanse of darkness that the ocean had become. Barring the sound of waves breaking on the shore and the hymn of the insects, it was silent. After a while, I could hear my heart beat too, as if it was playing along in harmony with the sounds of nature.
I didn't notice the blanket of stars that shrouded the ocean until I decide to lie down on my back. The stars were infinite in number, unmatched in their luminosity and set up a great contrast with the emptiness of the night. The sky itself felt like an endless black velvet cloth studded with radiant diamonds.
Actually, any attempt to describe what I saw in words that night is in vain. Words can't give you the high which you get when you are drunk on nature's glory. You must experience it to realize how beautiful the creation of god is, both in grandeur and scale.
I could have spent the night spotting shapes by joining the twinkling dots of light. But I wanted to sleep so that I could etch the sight in my memory. Nostalgia would allow me to feel insignificant, bringing with it the realization that I am only a tiny part of His magnum opus.
I dreamt of what I had seen and then saw what I had dreamt of. I guess He knew my plan.

Pliers. Like most tools, pliers are good for something (even many things). You may have used pliers to open a bottle, pick up something hot, tighten a bolt, or one of a hundred other things, all of them handy. If you know me very well, you know that no one would call me handy. I have some tools. I know how to use them. But I'm not gifted at using them and I don't really care to do things around the house. Know what I mean? I admire handy people (remember Tim the Tool Man?). My dad is handy. So was his dad, my grandfather (and my mom's dad too). They could make things with their tools (by the way, their hands were part of their toolbox). They built houses and cars. Fixed tractors and lawnmowers. Built furniture and skateboards. In sum, they were handy. My dad is still good with his hands and his tools.
I'm not a complete tool failure. I built a chess-set in 8th grade. I build a couple award-winning Pine Box cars for the kids (oops, I mean I helped them build the cars; it was against the rules for the parents to build the cars, remember?). I built a tree house once. I even designed an award-winning boat for my daughter's science project last year (oops, I mean HER science project). Yet, in the end, I'd rather pay someone to do the handy work around the house.
Some of you may be able to sew, but you'd rather buy your clothes. I know some great cooks who rarely cook. Many people have a skill at using a tool, but they don't enjoy using it. They use it if they "have to", but they don't often "want to." Does that describe you? Be honest. If so, it's ok. Not everyone likes the same things. Some people like using a screwdriver, but not a hammer, while some people don't like using tools at all (even if they have a degree of competence in their usage).
What got me thinking about tools was a conversation I had with a user of tools. In fact, he was considered by many as an expert user of a particular tool. For the sake of our discussion, let's say he was an expert user of pliers. He used pliers on a regular basis and many argued he was an expert plier user (is plierman a word?; it is now). In fact, he was such a good plierman, that he was promoted to a general management position. Surely if he were such a good plierman, he would make a good tool shop owner (a general management role). Right?
Sad to say, the answer is "no." At least in his case and up to this point in time. People can, and do, change. He can improve. He can become a good general manager. In fact, he might one day become a world-class general manager. But only if he stops overusing his pliers, takes inventory of the other tools in his toolbox and learns to use them appropriately. Or better, learns when they certain tools need to be used by others (those he leads). I hope he does become a world-class general manager. It was why we had the conversation. He was seeking advice and counsel. He recognizes he has a problem but couldn't pinpoint the cause. I did. Pinpointing root-causes (and cutting through the chaff or crap) is a tool in which I'm an expert.
Being a general manager isn't' for everyone (the same as being a principal isn't for every teacher, or a sales manager for every salesman). However, if you're one of those called to be in general (or executive) management, take a moment to see if you still have your pliers in your hand instead of your toolbox. If you want to be an effective general manager, you must set the vision, develop goals, build the team, and reinforce appropriate behavior. You are, ultimately, the owner of the toolbox. You might even use one or more of the tools within from time to time, yet don't overuse the pliers. Please! Don't because overly dependent on one tool. Specialists have their place and their value, but not in general management (unless they can put aside their old ways and move on).
Are you an expert at something? Do you overuse that skill? That tool? If you're in a position of general (or executive) management, are you carrying a toolbox full of tools or your favorite old tool from your days as an individual contributor, as a specialist?
As always, the floor is open to your comments, suggestions, thoughts, and feedback.

If you've been waiting to get your hands on a paperback copy of The Scribbling Sea Serpent then I'm delighted to be able to tell you that now you can.
Yes – the paperback edition is now available both from Amazon (UK) and Amazon (US)
However, if you prefer the electronic format then I'm afraid you are going to have to wait a few weeks.
I'm planning a number of exciting launch events to coincide with the Kindle edition coming online – I'll be hosting a facebook party and you can expect there to be a giveaway too!
I will also be appearing at the Yeovil Literary Festival at the end of October to launch it to the physical world – so if you are in the vicinity I hope to see you there!
But more on all this nearer the time…
In the meantime, if you want to know a bit more about CFZ Publishing and maybe check out some of the other titles available under the Fortean Fiction imprint then do visit their website.

From Suburbs to "Urban Burbs"
A major shift is occurring in suburban and urban environments, highlighted by recent studies on population growth in city centers, shifting attitudes about driving, and rapidly increasing urban home values.
During an interview with Eric Jaffe of The Atlantic Cities, Leigh Gallagher states that although these recent trends are accelerating, it is unrealistic and impractical to assume everyone will want to migrate to an urban setting, but that a "big part of the future will be 'urban burbs.' Suburbs that are adapting or already exist in this fashion. Where they have a walkable downtown, a pleasant place to take a stroll and bump into people, and where it's possible to live in closer proximity to the things you need to do everyday."
Gallagher's new book, The End of the Suburbs: Where the American Dream Is Moving, asserts that there are several reasons why the suburbs were poorly designed, and why they are currently making millions of people people really unhappy. She notes that "somewhere along the way the American Dream morphed from being a dream, an opportunity, to being a house," but that is no longer the case.
She concludes the interview by stating how far we actually are from this idealized "urban burb" style of living, and that the most important thing for us to do is to follow what current market demand is telling us, and recognize that we can't continue doing what we've been doing.

What you have to realize is that for a site as large as Michael's, a VPS won't do. Plausibly, one dedicated server might not even do, unless it's a quad-CPU second-gen Nehalem Xeon system with 128GB of RAM and an iSCSI attached SAS 10krpm disk array.... Yeah, that hardware is freaking expensive no matter where you rent it from (or buy it, or whatever). So people usually end up buying a cluster of servers instead. Fairly high-end servers. Like, 24GB of RAM, one or two Nehalem-ish Xeons, and either capacious or fast HDDs depending on their storage needs. Those type of servers cost about $250 a pop, even in Germany. In the US, you don't even wanna know.
Michael's site is not juts about FOSS news. It's about that and benchmarking. Benchmarking costs money, because a large percentage of the hardware he uses, he has to buy. If he's lucky he occasionally gets a CPU from Intel or a GPU from AMD. But he has to buy system chassis, power supplies, motherboards, RAM, disks, keyboards mice and monitors, and all that other jazz. These are business expenses for him, on top of his server expenses and travel.
If you discard even all the stuff he spends money on "for fun" (e.g. lederhosens and German beer), he's still got quite a burn rate as far as operational expenses. Hardware for benchmarking, large-scale dedicated hosting (much larger than you're aware is even possible if you are thinking in terms of VPSes), and travel to important FOSS events. It's a lot of money, I'm sure.
You can't just take one part of Michael and just pay for that. If he can't fund his entire business, the whole thing will sink. You could wish all day long that he only do one particular thing and stop benchmarking or stop traveling, but that's not how his business is run, so it's too bad for you.
He has to pay for his business somehow, and while I don't think ads are the best way, I think there's a way to attain a happy medium by having ads that aren't irritating, and are as relevant as possible to the people viewing them. Maybe static banner ads (no animated GIFs, no flash) along the top and bottom that advertise Linux vendor things? Maybe Red Hat and Novell could pay for ads advertising their enterprise offerings. Oracle too.
A donation model of business will never work if that's your only source of income, especially not for a for-profit company. People talk a lot about donating on the internet, but in reality, people donate a lot less money (and a lot less often) than they say they will. Trust me, I run a site that gets donations, and I can't tell you how many times I've gone and spent a lot of time to do something to make someone happy, then let them see it, because they said they'd donate if I did it... well, I did it, and they didn't donate. Instead they just complained about the next thing that came to their mind, as if to string me along from one issue to the next like a fool, hoping they'll drop a pittance in my lap.
No thanks.

If Michael Jackson hadn't been there, I don't know if I would have been a dancer. He was the first person I connected with. I remember when I saw Thriller, I was terrified. I'd never seen anything so frightening in my life, but it was also incredibly exciting. It had everything – music, storytelling, dance. I would watch it for hours, memorising the choreography and practising.
Being a young boy interested in dance was difficult then. It probably still is. But Jackson changed that for me. I was bullied when I was young, but that stopped when I started winning competitions at discos with my Thriller routine. I remember being at dances and commanding people to watch me do my Jackson solos. He wasn't the first person to do the moonwalk, but he was the one who made it memorable – and he was the first to create that marriage between pop and dance. It changed everything.
Great dance – as opposed to learning a set of moves – can only come from within. Jackson never looked choreographed, or clinical, or like he did "moves": it always seemed as if he was creating it in the moment, responding to the music and his feeling in that instant.
As a teenager, I didn't have a lot of confidence in myself, but seeing the inner confidence in him was inspiring. He had such absolute belief in what he was doing. That was what made you believe in him. As a dancer, he wasn't technically brilliant; he was never trained, but that was what was so beautiful. He created his own techniques and had his own language of movement. That is what I have always tried to achieve in my career.
When I was 14, my mother bought me the same red leather jacket that Jackson wore in the Thriller video. I remember how special it made me feel. I still have it. Looking back, I must have looked ridiculous but I still remember the sensation of feeling closer to him. He was like a light or a star in the sky – very far away but something to look to, and to follow.

Russian Family And Marriage: Marry Beautiful Russian Brides
Many gentlemen have married their perfect beautiful young Russian brides while some are still in their love hunt journey. If you belong to the latter group, this article can be of great help to you.
Russian Family And Marriage
When we mention "Russia", one thing comes to the minds of many people: family value. Russian people love and cherish their family and would protect their family members in difficult times. The tradition is instilled into Russian people since they are very young. Family is viewed as the most important institution in Russian society and many Russian people regard children as the essential element of a good marriage. Most of them rely heavily on the family as a source of personal satisfaction.
Many Russians lived in large extended families. Men work and provide for the family while women take care of and raise the children. Family usually lived with one of the spouses parents. The family power and authority went to the person that is working which is usually the man.
Over the years, with the voice of freedom and society changes, a lot of changes has taken place such as family dissolution, cohabitation, divorce and remarriage.
Compared to people in other countries, Russians get married at a very young age. Most of Russian women married before age 20 and men before 23. However, many conditions led to divorce and in the 1980s, the divorce rate in the Soviet Union was second in the world only to that of the United States. Moreover, separations and "unofficial divorces" were common and mother was usually awarded custody of the children. The divorce procedures were relatively simple. The conditions were crowed housing, lack of privacy, drunk-ness, infidelity, etc. With the development of society Russians become open-minded and divorce rate increases. Many think that people should not prolong a bad marriage. It is better to terminated and Russian people think divorce more positively than it was in the Soviet era.
In recent years cohabitation is more tolerated by public opinion and it is more and more frequent. Russians with a higher education are more tolerant of unregistered unions. The proportion of women living in cohabitation is lower than that of men. Surveys also show that Russian single women below age 25 are more likely to cohabit that men.
With the rapidly growing divorce rate, extended families disappear and remarriage is growing. A majority of young married couples desire to live apart from their parents and have an independent budget. At the same time, many men and women have been remarried and there is a higher probability of remarriage for men (one of conditions for many young Russian brides for marriage on international dating service). Children are no less an obstacle either for divorce or for remarriage.

Hey all, just thought I'd do a quick note to let you know that I'm around, and so is the blog.
Things have gotten busy lately, as is normal, plus it's summer. Therefore, not a lot of time in front of the computer - for extended periods of time. Sadly that means not much writing - tho as the weather chills in the coming autumn months, I hope to go on a roll.
I've been powering through Spartacus in spurts on Netflix, and will have a (complete) review up for that....as well as for Vikings: Season 3 as well....perhaps. I've also been steadily re-reading to Kill a Mockingbird, chapter-by-chapter, and will follow with Go Set a Watchman. currently, also steadily working through Red Rising and may pick up The Winter King following that [and Watchman.] On the bus I'm going through the anthology called Warriors.
So yeah - just checking in. Not much worth of update at this point of time, but letting you all know that I'm still around, as is the blog.
I hope to return with a few more entries next week [2-3...?]
So yeah - all in all not too much to report, blog-wise.

So I thought some of you might like to have a little update on how things have been since the big drama with our dear little Gracie's accident that resulted in this gap-toothed smile you see above.
I was pretty messed up about the whole incident for a while after it happened. I thought ahead of all the photos we'd be taking of her for the next few years… and that sad little gap in her smile.
But like most things, we soon settled into the new normal.
I read on a few forums of parents who had gone through the same thing that they eventually grew to like their child's new gappy smile, that it gave their face a bit of an edgy character.
Grace's has a pretty edgy character anyway. So she has been carrying off her new look pretty well.
There are a few other apparent changes in habits and lifestyle for Grace that came with this new look. For one thing, she has been doing drastically less of this. Some of her favourite foods like corn-on-the-cob are now a lot trickier to manage. And she's learning to break or tear off her food into smaller pieces before putting into her mouth (albeit to previously stuffing down the entire thing in one go)…. most of the time anyway.
But she's still a foodie at heart.
Still my little 'Chomperella'.
And still is and always will be…
P.S. A song by Steven Curtis Chapman that really spoke to me about the grace and goodness of God.
"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
that I would see the goodness of the Lord""
in the land of the living"
Psalm 27:13

That`s a glaucous shears all right....lucky blighter! I was after that species with my `moth-flop` outing to that bog at Llwyn-teg N of Llanelli last night, but did n`t get one (or hardly anything else!). Well done and nice pic too! I`ve previously had the species though, at Palycwrt, which is not far from your place.ReplyDelete
Keep up the good work Steve.
The weather looks ok tonight and more so on Sunday night (though, as always, the forecast may change). I may try the `wait-with-trap` method on Sunday night at a Llanelli urban-edge site.

Today I made another step into the world of adulthood: I bought a set of dishes.
Though I've been in my own apartment for nigh six months now, I've been using my roommate's dishes. Now that she's trotting off to Hungary, I decided it was time. So I shopped. I started online, but was quickly overwhelmed by all the colors. I wondered back and forth and back and forth through the Target aisles. I looked and looked through World Market, sad at the small number of options. Despairing of ever eating on anything nicer than a paper plate again, I asked my mom.
She told me to choose wisely, since dishes could follow a person around for many years. Consider the blue fruit plates from my early years that still sit in our cabinet today. (Thanks for the added pressure.) She then told me to go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and handed me a coupon.
Then I found them.
The dishes.
I know that I am now well on my way to growing up because of the giddiness I felt as the cashier wrapped up my plates. (I used to feel this way about plastic ponies… What happened?!) I drove them carefully home, avoiding bumps and going quite slow.
My mother's words and my girlish giddiness combined to form a (somewhat silly) sentimental ode. An ode to my new dishes. (I've got to get out more.)
An Ode to Thee, Dishes
You sit in tissue paper, so polished and new
I can't help but wonder, What fate awaits you?
You will be there, for sure, for my senior spring:
Quick dinners and sleepy breakfasts
A great soapy monsoon, cleaned by Myrtle's moaning, rumbly tune
At parties, charades nouns will rest in your bright green bowl
Will you go with me to Austin, Houston, or Dallas?
We'll take the hospitality of RMR into graduate school
And then, someday, will my children be enthralled by your delicate patterns?
Or will they laugh that your beauty is "so the two-thousands"?
Oh, dishes, to the food you will serve:
Salad and steak and potatoes and pie
Chicken and soup and broccoli and cake
To the underdone and burnt food you will certainly hold:
I'm sorry, I must try to learn!
And then I'll revert to hot pockets-
I hope you look good in slightly burnt cheese.
The Lord uses mysterious tools.
I thus ask, Lord, with a smile, that you bless these dishes:
To the conversations held over hot apple cider
To the burnt tongues and laughter
To the comfort of mashed potatoes
To families of friends around a table
To a summer watermelon and a winter turkey
To the nourishment of bodies and souls
Use them to teach me hospitality
And to welcome a Stranger, amen.
Oh dishes, it must, but how will it end?
After many years of faithful service,
or moving into your first home?
Will it be the terrors of many moves
or arms laden with too much
or left in a scorching oven
or at the hands of a careless child
or subject to some experiment…
Smashed into two
or two thousand pieces
To become just a memory
(And a blog entry)
Forever in my heart.

I made this serving tray/drink tray for a fundraiser that we are having tonight for my wife, Lisa. She will be walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure, in San Diego, in the middle of November. It is a 3-day walk that spans 60-miles (20-miles/day).
She has participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in one facet or another since 1999. If you'd like to read the story of why she is doing this, please go here (this is an older photo, but she is the one in the pink t-shirt):
Each participant is responsible for raising $2300, minimum, in order to participate in the 3-Day Walk for the Cure. So this tray was made to help garner some donations. I have also made several other projects for this fundraiser, and began blogging about them here: http://lumberjocks.com/JonathanG/blog/16300
Tray Details:
Wood Species: Curly/Tiger Maple, Walnut, Pink Lyptus (all started out as 4/4)
Joinery: Titebond III and lots of clamps
Hardware: Metal handles from Lowes that are 9-7/8" long drawer pulls, with the holes being 7-1/2" apart from screw holes predrilled 7/8" in from the side, 3/8" countersink holes drilled to sink screw tops. I also added 3/4" self-adhesive cork dots/feet from Rockler to the bottom corners to cover up the screws and to provide bumpers for the bottom of the tray. I thought about glueing them on, but decided against it, reasoning that it'd be really difficult to get them off if you ever needed to tighten one of the handles.
Finish: 5-coats of Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish (First 4-coats were handrubbed, with the last coat being brushed on rather thickly. Buffed with a brown paper bag in between each coat).
Overall Dimensions: 11-3/4"deep, 16-3/16" wide, 25/32" final thickness
Individual Wood Dimensions: Curly maple: 4-3/16" (times 2-boards), Walnut: 1-9/32" (times 2-boards), Pink Lyptus: 5-1/4" wide (center board).
Tools Used: tablesaw, drill press, router, cove bit, roundover bit, forstner bit, drum sander, clamps, handsanded up to 220-grit
New things to me on this project:
Waterlox. I had not used this finish before this project. I think I'm going to experiment with this a bit more. It does produce a very nice finish. I think with a bit more use of this product and maybe a little deeper topcoat, it'll look like a pane of glass on top of the wood. I handrubbed the first 4-coats and it seemed like it was going to take another 4-coats to really start building some depth. So on the 5th-coat, I really loaded it on with a sponge brush. It leveled itself out nicely!
Pink Lyptus. I glued-up several things all within a day or two that had pink lyptus in them. This wood is a bit finicky at the edges and does tend to splinter out. You have to be very careful in general. I noticed that when sanding and edge of this stuff, start on the long, flat face grain, then go towards the edge. Don't go from the edge inward, or it will more than likely splinter on you (more than I've experienced with any other wood)!
I typed up a little informational sheet that I'll be giving to the recipient of this tray, as well as the other items that I made for the fundraiser. The informational sheet includes the woods used, the finish applied, and care instructions for the item.
I'll post back after the fundraiser takes place and let everybody know how it went.

Great info on the build! Thank you! Your selection of wood and the grain direction looks really nice!

Kindlingmaker, thank you for the feedback. I know I always appreciate reading a detailed write-up, so I try to provide as much information as I can.
I did specifically choose that section within the pink lyptus I had to work with, cutting a bit away from the sides to try and center that chunk of grain close to the middle of the tray.

Very nice work on this beautiful project Jonathan. I love your solution to the handle problem. It just keeps getting better all the time.

Is that a question, Jordan, or a statement? ;-)
It's my work, so I don't want to be the judge on that one. I certainly put a bit more effort into this than the cutting board, but the cutting board was talked about the most.
Mike, I tried to imagine myself as the user and having a problem with one of the handles. And if I didn't know what I was doing, or was not being careful, I'd probably take a chunk out of the bottom of the tray, or at least scratch it up good, trying to get through the glue. Sometimes, simpler is better!
Thanks guys!

I forgot to post back on this, but my wife received some very positive feedback on this tray from a few people that she works with that attended the fundraiser.
So, I know I initally said that the cutting board received more attention and positive comments than this tray did, but that was apparently only from what I heard, as my wife said several people really admired this tray. And one of the people that particularly liked it is really into interior design, decoration, etc.
I just initially found it odd that I didn't really hear anybody say anything about the tray… they were just talking about the cutting board. I guess this is a bit "showier" piece than the cutting/serving board, especially considering the Waterlox finish… much glossier than the matte/wax finish on the cutting board/serving tray.
Just an update after the event, nothing more.

100,000 Poets for Change Santa Maria Valley
A gathering of poets celebrating and promoting social, environmental and political change through the arts and creating a safe space for expression
Eduardo C. Corral
Blessed our 2016 100,000 Poets for Change Event
Poetry is one way to bridge the distance between us. It allows us to enter thoughts and experiences that are different from ours. It sparks empathy and compassion. We're surrounded by poetry. A single word can be a poem. Your name is a poem. So is the name of the person who disagrees with you. Let's pledge to work harder to comfort those in need, to extend a hand to those who disagree with us. Let's move through the world singing each other's names.
To a Mojado Who Died Crossing the Desert
After a storm saguaros glisten
like mint trombones.
Sometimes a coyote leaps
over creosote.
The sand calls out for more footprints.
A crack in a boulder
can never be an entrance
to a cathedral
but a mouse can be torn open
like an orange.
The arroyo is the color of rust.
Sometimes a gust of snow
floats across the water
as gracefully as a bride.
Blessed our 2015 100,000 Poets for Change Event
In this moment of fracture in our country and our world, when people seem apt to allow difference to be a wedge rather than a source of strength, I am inspired by your willingness to stand up and stand together. As Sam Cooke told us in song, "a change has gotta come." And I take heart that, for all the strife and violence of the past several years, gatherings such as yours will make that a positive, humane change.
Listen to his poem of blessing here:
Chorus of X, the Rescuers' Mark
Blessed our 2014 100,000 Poets for Change Event
Alabanza: In Praise of Local 100
for the 43 members of
Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees
Local 100, working at the Windows on the World restaurant,
who lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Center
. Praise the cook with a shaven head
and a tattoo on his shoulder that said Oye,
a blue-eyed Puerto Rican with people from Fajardo,
the harbor of pirates centuries ago.
Praise the lighthouse in Fajardo, candle
glimmering white to worship the dark saint of the sea.
Alabanza. Praise the cook's yellow Pirates cap
worn in the name of Roberto Clemente, his plane
that flamed into the ocean loaded with cans for Nicaragua,
for all the mouths chewing the ash of earthquakes.
. Praise the kitchen radio, dial clicked
even before the dial on the oven, so that music and Spanish
rose before bread. Praise the bread. Alabanza.
Praise Manhattan from a hundred and seven flights up,
like Atlantis glimpsed through the windows of an ancient aquarium.
Praise the great windows where immigrants from the kitchen
could squint and almost see their world, hear the chant of nations:
Ecuador, México, Republica Dominicana,
Haiti, Yemen, Ghana, Bangladesh.
Alabanza. Praise the kitchen in the morning,
where the gas burned blue on every stove
and exhaust fans fired their diminutive propellers,
hands cracked eggs with quick thumbs
or sliced open cartons to build an altar of cans.
. Praise the busboy's music, the chime-chime
of his dishes and silverware in the tub.
. Praise the dish-dog, the dishwasher
who worked that morning because another dishwasher
could not stop coughing, or because he needed overtime
to pile the sacks of rice and beans for a family
floating away on some Caribbean island plagued by frogs.
. Praise the waitress who heard the radio in the kitchen
and sang to herself about a man gone. Alabanza.
After the thunder wilder than thunder,
after the shudder deep in the glass of the great windows,
after the radio stopped singing like a tree full of terrified frogs,
after night burst the dam of day and flooded the kitchen,
for a time the stoves glowed in darkness like the lighthouse in Fajardo,
like a cook's soul. Soul I say, even if the dead cannot tell us
about the bristles of God's beard because God has no face,
soul I say, to name the smoke-beings flung in constellations
across the night sky of this city and cities to come.
I say, even if God has no face.
. When the war began, from Manhattan and Kabul
two constellations of smoke rose and drifted to each other,
mingling in icy air, and one said with an Afghan tongue:
Teach me to dance. We have no music here.
And the other said with a Spanish tongue:
I will teach you. Music is all we have.

When facts take a licking, the latest Vikings stadium video, the heart of a racer, dreams denied and dreams fulfilled, and Oklahoma's seismic mystery.
The Monday Morning Rouser:
"Are you scared enough of vaccines to give your kid a lollipop that's supposedly been licked by another child with chicken pox?" the Los Angeles Times asks. Apparently, plenty of people are and it's not a good idea. But this is one area of health care where facts don't seem to matter.
People are selling lollipops allegedly licked by their infected kids to people who think they can be used to give their own kids chicken pox, and get an immunity that lasts longer than that provided by vaccines. It's being organized on Facebook. The problem is it also makes kids more susceptible to complications, the paper says.
Thirty years ago, it was common for parents to bring their kids over to a sick friend's house to get exposed to chickenpox — maybe that's why today's "pox parties" seem like a good option to parents put off by vaccines. Mason likened the practice to playing roulette. "It was not a good idea then, and it's still not a good idea," he said.
UCLA infectious disease expert Dr. Peter Katona was even more blunt: "I'd like to see charges pressed here," he said, referring to the practice of sending the virus through the mail.
Why would parents do such a thing? Getting something from a complete stranger in the mail and asking your kid to lick it?
"If you are engaged in this type of behavior, you're not only potentially exposing innocent people to dangerous viruses and illnesses and diseases, you're also exposing yourself potentially to federal criminal prosecution," the U.S. Attorney in Tennessee is warning.
How'd you survive yesterday without the Minnesota Vikings playing on a Sunday in the fall? You did survive, right?
Another pro-stadium video has surfaced — it came from the Vikings — to remind you what you might have missed… or not.
The Vikings haven't actually said they'd move if taxpayers don't pony up for a new stadium. But the latest video confirms the threat.
"It's one thing if someone believes that the presence of an NFL team isn't worth the cost of a new stadium," the Pioneer Press' Tom Powers writes today. "You can disagree, but you have to respect an honest opinion. It's quite another to simply stand idly by and intentionally do nothing – have no position, no ideas, no desire to be bothered."
Joao Silva, the New York Times photographer who lost his legs when he stepped on a land mine in Afghanistan, ran the New York Marathon yesterday and finished 52nd in the handcycle division. He had originally intended to stop along the way to take pictures, but after he crossed the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from Staten Island, he stopped taking pictures.
"I realized that if I was going to take more pictures, I was never going to finish this race," he said. "It felt good. I'm a racer at heart. I wanted to race."
His pictures and story are available on the New York Times' Lens blog.
Related: Cartoonist sketches while running marathon.
Nathan Nerland, of St. Paul, says he and his sixth-grade pal had dreams of growing up to be teachers. "We hoped we could find a school where we'd have neighboring classrooms and work together for the rest of our lives and share the gift of learning," he says on his website. But his friend died and Nerland went into advertising. Now he's paying for building a school in his friend's memory.
Rare earthquakes hit Oklahoma over the weekend. When it did, National Weather Service radar picked up bugs and birds heading for the sky to get away from the rumbling ground.
It's not entirely comforting that scientists reportedly are "puzzled' by the increase in seismic activity in the area, according to the New York Daily News.
Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes a year until 2009. Then the number spiked, and 1,047 quakes shook the state last year, the paper says.
Bonus: A former colleague who works for CBS News, snapped this picture of Andy Rooney's office on Saturday, the day Rooney died. Note the presence of a computer and the absence of a typewriter.
Around Minnesota, local officials and the citizens they represent are grappling with hard choices involving public services and shrinking budgets. Today's Question: If your local government has to make severe cuts in services, where should it start?
Midmorning (9-11 a.m.) – First hour: Campaign managers and consultants spend a lot of time trying figure out the traits that will help sell their candidate. But research shows that in many cases those traits aren't what voters consider important. A political scientist wonders if this suggests a fundamental problem with our modern electoral system.
Second hour: Author Colson Whitehead joined Kerri Miller to discuss zombies, Twitter, his childhood journal and his new book, Zone One. Recorded at the Fitzgerald Theater on November 2nd.
Midday (11 a.m. – 1 p.m.) – First hour: Rep. Pat Garofalo and Rep. Mindy Greiling discuss Tuesday's elections to raise taxes for schools.
Second hour: A debate from NPR's "Intelligence Squared" series: Do Grandma's Benefits Imperil Junior's Future?
Talk of the Nation (1-3 p.m.) – First hour: The new politics of race.
Second hour: War correspondent P.J. O'Rourke thought he was too old "too keep being scared stiff." So he retired and decided to travel for fun.
