Serves 4
The bitter, peppery taste of watercress combined with rich salmon poached in milk makes for an exact balance of flavors on your plate. This quiche is simply exquisite—and can always be made ahead of time!
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle blade, combine the flours, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Add the butter and mix on medium speed until crumbles form. Add the egg and mix again. Add the water gradually and continue mixing until the dough detaches from the bowl and forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour before using. If it's in the fridge for a few hours or overnight, take out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before using.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and butter a 10-inch quiche mold (quiche molds have higher sides than regular tart molds).
To prepare the watercress, start by cutting off the leaves and discarding the longer stems. Make sure to wash it a few times until the water is clear to completely remove the dirt. Dry the cleaned watercress in a salad spinner.
In a sauté pan, heat 2 Tbs. of the oil over medium heat. Add the watercress and sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring, until soft. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out the excess water between your fingers. Set the pan aside to use later. Finely chop the watercress and set aside.
In a pot, heat 3/4 cup of the milk with the bay leaf and a pinch of sea salt and pepper. When just beginning to simmer, add the salmon and poach it for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let infuse for 10 minutes. Remove the salmon and crumble it into a bowl, making sure to discard the bones; set aside.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cream and the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Season with sea salt and pepper and add the nutmeg, dill, and sage; set aside.
In the same sauté pan you used for the watercress, heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and shallot and cook for about 5 minutes without browning, stirring, until soft. Remove from the heat and stir in the watercress; set aside.
Roll and cut the dough to fit inside the mold. Arrange the dough inside
the mold and using a fork, make small holes at the bottom.
Prebake for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights and brush
the crust with the egg white. Return to the oven and bake for 5 more
minutes. Add the vegetables and crumbled salmon to the crust and pour
the egg batter over the top.
Bake the quiche for 30 to 35 minutes (20 minutes if you're making
individual quiches), or until the top is golden and the egg flan is set.
Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting; serve with a green salad.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
This year's World Series was more fun than usual for former Mississippi State University baseball standout Chris Stratton.
The Tupelo native, who was a first-round draft pick by the San Francisco Giants last June, watched with interest as his new franchise won its second title in the last three years.
"It was definitely a lot different," the right-handed pitcher said. "In the past, I'd just be watching to watch baseball. Now I was actually rooting for a team."
Although Stratton said he followed the Braves and the Cardinals some while he was growing up, he said he's never had a true favorite team.
"My dad was a basketball coach, so I was mostly in the gym," he said. "It was good to have someone to cheer for. It made it more interesting and fun."
Stratton watched the World Series from Northeast Mississippi, where he has returned for the off-season. He recently bought a house in Starkville and also will spend time in Tupelo visiting his family and high school friends.
The right-hander pitched eight games for the Giants' rookie league team in Salem-Keizer, Ore., last fall before he was struck in the head by a ball during batting practice, an incident that caused him to be hospitalized and ended his season prematurely.
Stratton said he has no ill effects from it and that it actually came at a time when the Giants were about to shut him down for the season anyway since he had thrown so many innings that spring, his junior year at MSU.
It was a collegiate season that saw him log an 11-2 record with a 2.38 ERA with 127 strikeouts and 25 walks in 1092⁄3 innings.
Good start
During his brief minor league stint, he struck out 16 more and had a 2.76 ERA in 161⁄3 innings. He's currently ranked San Francisco's third overall prospect, according to the team's official website, sfgiants.com.
When he signed with the Giants, they told him he would probably start the 2013 season in either low- or high-Class A, either Augusta, Ga., or San Jose, Calif. However, he doesn't know for certain where he will be.
"You go to spring training to try to make it to the highest team I possibly can," he said.
He'll spend that offseason working on MSU's campus with former college teammates Nick Routt and Connor Powers. Most of his work will involve running and lifting weights. He doesn't plan to pick up a baseball to throw until after Christmas.
"The offseason is a time to get your feet back under you and get some rest," he said.
In January, he'll also marry his high school sweetheart, Martha Kate Buskirk of Tupelo, who is studying educational psychology at MSU. The two have dated for nearly five years, since Stratton was a high school junior and Buskirk was a freshman.
While he watched the Giants' in the World Series, he saw an organization that rode a stellar pitching staff to a championship, just as it had done two years ago. That can be both exciting and daunting to a young arm trying to earn a spot in that talented group.
"They have an extremely young pitching staff," he said. "Just being in an organization where they develop pitchers like they have makes you feel better. You know you are in the best hands to make it to the big leagues."

Fires/Smoke shifts - Skies are blue again
The vista at the Vista Motel was much clearer this morning.
We could make out the color and shape of trees on the mountains.
The sky was blue once again.
The wind over the fires must have shifted away from us.
Algae that Changed Our World - Avalanche Lake Hike
We made a 7:00 AM start to get breakfast and arrive at the Avalanche Lake trailhead well before the Ranger led geology walk at 09:00.
We encountered a large group of cyclists being shepherded over the Logan Pass by some energy food sponsor. It looked like fun.
Ranger Megan knew her geology and introduced us to stromatolites, the algae that changed the world. Stromatolites are the first to release oxygen into the air - enabling life as we know it to evolve.
The specimen in question had been placed on the trail by a long gone naturalist for discussion purposes. Something the Park Service would probably no longer do.
The hiker's guide warned us that the trail we were taking was not to be used by anyone expecting solitude and it was absolutely correct. By later in the day the area was no more crowded that Butchart Gardens.
The walk did have plenty of scenery and points for Ranger Megan to talk about how the mountains were created and then worn down.
Glacier has some of the oldest rocks anywhere.
The Avalanche Lake trail goes through the only forest in Glacier that is anything like the rain forests we saw in Washington.
We got to Avalanche Lake and were left to our own devices.
Chere sketched.
Rory hiked around the lake a bit and took some pictures.
This heavily used area shows some wear on the trail which has grown wide from overuse. 'Social trails' have made unnecessary scars in the landscape.
We packed up to head back after a family decided to plunk themselves down right in front of where we were viewing the lake.
Keep in mind, the lake is huge.
There is an easy path all the way around the lake.
There is no unique feature about our view vs. another view of the lake.
Why would anyone park themselves right in front of another group of people when there is sooo much open space from which to choose?
The walk was a success overall.
We learned and refreshed our geology.
We got some fresh air and exercise (500ft gain over 2 miles)
The Magic of Big Trees
We were back in the parking lot about 3:00 PM after taking the Trail of the Cedars on the way out.
They billed it as an ancient forest of cedars - which it was- but we'd just been along the Pacific Coast weeks back seeing Big Basin and Avenue of the Giant trees that simply take your breath away.
Still, the big, tall trees create a darkness, sound absorbing quiet, and coolness like no other.
It is truly magical to walk among them.
This really isn't Disney World ...
Many people do not seem to understand that when there is a big red "Cougar Alert" sign at the trail head they are supposed to keep their fair haired little children from running on ahead.
Rory would remind people by hollering after the running children - "you run ahead and get caught by the cougars the park warned us about ..." ...leaving the next step to the parents to take.
Planning for more fun .. boat cruise ... dinosaurs
Stopped at McDonald Lodge and booked a sunset cruise.
Ate early dinner, late lunch.
Pie was involved.
Went to Canada. Well, an Alberta visitors center conveniently located in the East Glacier center, anyway.
We've talked ourselves into staying more days in the Glacier Waterton Peace Park and wanted more info on the Waterton side.
The lobby has a full sized T.Rex skeleton greeting you as you walk in.
You are stopped dead in your tracks.
Quite the WOW factor.
Must have internet ...must have cellphone...(pant, pant)
With a little time to kill we did some more futile WiFi searching with no result.
We are forgetting to plug in our cell phones since they have no reach either.
Are we going cold turkey?
Can we live without?
How can it be summer when I am wearing four layers of clothing?
Back at the Vista we took a dip in the motel pool and chatted with a British motorcyclist traveling from Halifax to VanCouver Island. I can't think about riding a motorcycle for that many miles without wincing.
This hotel is a throwback to an earlier era of rows of concrete rooms looking out to the mountains but still kept up nicely.
No air conditioning which is not a problem even if the days are in the 90s.
We are up in the mountains.
The nights here are in the 50s so except for some road and railroad noise, open windows are OK.
The pool water is also plenty cold enough to chill you out if you are sticking around during the day.
Other oddities: asbestos siding, 'leave the key in the lock when you check out', wonderful sitting porch or balcony overlooking the mountains as a common area for all to enjoy.
Eerie Yellow Skies
Then back into the park for the cruise.
At 07:00 PM smoke clouds were again appearing between us and the sun.
They imparted an eerie yellow cast to everything.
If you cannot have clear air at least have interesting air.
The one hour cruise was on a Lake Boat built locally in 1928 for service on Lake McDonald.
Glacier National Park is being Loved-to-Death
After the cruise we went to another ranger talk.
Did not get her name but she was from Salisbury, PA, a rival school district where Rory grew up.
The talk was about how the Going to the Sun Road was created 1920s and the dilemmas it creates when it is heavily used.
To date, there are no restrictions on how many people are let into the park - or how many cars can be on that road.
The ranger mentioned yesterday the line to enter the park was backed up to US Rt2 - quite a distance from the entrance - and creating a traffic hazard.
At that point they were just waving people into the park without stopping them for standard $20 entry fees.
If you haven't been to Glacier, this road takes you from either side of the park via vehicle past the most glorious scenery ever seen on any road.
You see it all - huge mountains, giant waterfalls, rocky cliffs, bears, moose, sheep, glaciers - amazing vistas.
If you are anywhere near Glacier and in a car, you should make arrangements to drive this incredible highway. You don't have to be psychic to know they will be searching for a way to make order out of their current chaos.
Things change - this one is ripe for improvements. Limiting access is needed to prevent Glacier from being loved-to-death.
Admittedly, we will be some of those heavy users tomorrow when we use it to reach East Glacier.

My Fry jacket came a few days ago but was too small, so I ordered another one. The style was perfect, though.
The friend I wanted to be Zapp is now gonna do some stupid Pac-Man thing, but another is going to be Farnsworth and another is either going to be Bender or Scruffy (the latter is more feasible but less awesome). We'll see.

I was able to use my Atticus Finch costume at the Kickoff Event to our city's Big Read program (the novel chosen was To Kill a Mockingbird), where they asked me to just walk around as him for a while. Here's me with some of my "friends" from the story:
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Cool! Very, very close to the original.
Great book. Great movie.

I'm dressing as mabs. I know my costume is going to be cool. When I was in line buying the stuff, the cashier said, "Oooh, you're going to be mabudonicus for Halloween, aren't you? That's totally gnarly!"
That's my jacket!
My department at work is doing a pirate theme. I don't always go along with the theme, but didn't have anything better prepared, so I just bought a pirate costume and pirate wig.
you charlatan Chux!!!
I bet you bought one o them knock-off "mabuDOONicus" costumes that are clogging dollar store shelves, denying me my royalties.
Maybe I'll just get a bunch of mismatched drapes and a mixed drink of malibu rum, beer and tequila and go as the official Chuxter, likely resulting in a 4 hour stream of steadily detiorating posts on 2 separate forums

Where was the protection before 9/11? quote from roger perry.
Why don't you ask the dems who were in office at the time this was being planned? Surely you don't think this was planned after GWB took office. But not once did he try to put the blame on the previous admin. He sucked it up, played the hand he was dealt. I might could respect your man more if he would follow suit and man up, quit whining about "what he inherited". Last time I checked, he decided to run for pres, no one asked him to. You know what, I really wouldn't respect him more.

I keep falling victim to the "you're either EXACTLY like us, or your against us" attitude of the new republican party.

God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
I think we call him "YOUR GUY" cause you voted for HIM!!
In regards to being "exactly like us," that would mean respecting life, smaller Govt, less taxes, fiscal responsibility, economic recovery, gun owners rights, liberty & freedom, do the right thing for us in Washington etc.
The things "your guy" is doing run contrary to the things that matter to us.
You...not so much.
I think the reason some voted for "your guy" is because President Bush went outside many of the tenants the "New Republican Party" has held for decades.
Nice effort though.......

First, I have only called him your guy once.( Refer to above post). Second, you seem to have a great disdain for everything GWB did or, in your eyes, failed to do. I guess that is why.

When even CNN reports that CFC cost taxpayers $24,000 for each car purchased, do you really want to keep bragging about it.
Then, the most common reported swap is an old Ford F-150 @ 15 mpg for a NEW F-150 @ 17. That's really going to save the planet!
And then the DOT's list of top sales had to do some fancy footwork to come up w/ the numbers they wanted. Sounds kind of like all the new Congressional districts created by the "stimulus" reporting group.

Ok Ya'll....This question is directed to the Folks that choose one Hunt Test Venue (AKC or HRC ) over another. I personally run both , and cant say I have a preference. I just like to hit the highway and run my dogs. I'd run Nahra if they had a test nearby. I'm just a wacked out Hunt Test running machine I guess.
But I notice a lot of people that are strictly AKC and not HRC (and vice versa). Please....If you decide to post, lets keep it civil and professional. This is a question , NOT a debate nor should this thread turn into that. No need to defend or become insulted. I think a lot can be learned from peoples answers to benefit both sides. Soooo, my question is:
1. Why do you prefer to not run in the other Venue?
2. What would make the other Venue more attractive to you?
Thanks in Advance....and Ill hopefully see a lot of you this Summer!!

TheDailyBeast: Stars Who Gained Weight for Roles

|Rob McElhenney, the creator and a star of the FX series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," decided to pack on 50 pounds to make his character funnier this season, which premieres Sept. 14. From Christian Bale's 99-pound Batman gain to the 60-pound addition that got Ryan Gosling fired from a movie, see photos of actors who gained the most weight for roles.

|The dedicated Welsh actor slimmed down to a downright frightening 121 pounds—by starving himself on a four-month diet of coffee and an apple (or can of tuna) each day, totaling about 275 calories—to play Trevor Reznik, an industrial worker who hasn't slept for more than a year and begins having bizarre visions, in 2004's "The Machinist." And just after Bale wrapped filming, director Christopher Nolan informed him that he had been cast as the Caped Crusader in "Batman Begins." In just two months, Bale packed on 60 pounds for his Batman screen test through a high-carb diet of bread and pasta. He then packed on an additional 39 pounds for the role in the next three months, bringing his weight to 220 pounds, by following a strict diet of chicken, tuna, and steamed vegetables, and daily three-hour running and weight-training sessions. "He worked harder than anyone I've ever trained," Bale's trainer, Efua Baker, told People. "Every morning he would look different from the day before."

|Talk about earning your stripes. For his Hollywood debut in Stanley Kubrick's 1987 Vietnam War film "Full Metal Jacket," actor Vincent D'Onofrio gained 70 pounds—breaking Robert De Niro's then-record weight gain of 60 pounds for "Raging Bull"—for his role as the tormented recruit, Pvt. Gomer Pyle. The gain, which took him seven months on a diet of greasy foods, brought D'Onofrio's weight to 280 pounds. D'Onofrio would later gain 45 pounds for his role as Pooh-Bear, a noseless meth dealer in the 2002 film "The Salton Sea."

|He ain't Jordan Catalano no more. To play John Lennon's pudgy assassin, Mark David Chapman, in the 2007 film "Chapter 27," the usually svelte Jared Leto gained an impressive 67 pounds through a diet that was just, well, gross. "[I did it by] eating everything you think you're not supposed to—pizza, pasta, ice cream, but my little trick was I would take pints of chocolate Häagen Dazs and put them in the microwave and drink them," Leto told Starpulse. But the grossest part? "The sick thing is, I would actually pour olive oil and soy sauce into the mixture as well—to get me bloated even more," said Leto. Sadly, it was mostly for naught—the film grossed only $56,215 in North America, and received mostly negative reviews.

|In order to play a CIA agent who's let himself go in Ridley Scott's 2008 espionage film "Body of Lies," Russell Crowe gained a whopping 63 pounds, doing away once and for all with his toned, Maximus physique in "Gladiator." Crowe said he delighted in his weight gain, telling Extra, "I'll have that cheeseburger for breakfast, thank you!" However, the Aussie didn't turn to booze as a way of gaining weight because of his kids. "There are a whole lot of things I don't do anymore because it affects my level of patience," said Crowe. "I don't want to be in that place where I'm exasperated with these beautiful children."

|While most actors gain kudos or awards in recognition for gaining extreme amounts of weight for a role, Ryan Gosling got fired. Yes, the Oscar-nominated actor with the pinup looks put on 60 pounds after he was cast in Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones," because he thought it would service his character, grieving dad Jack Salmon. "We had a different idea of how the character should look," Gosling told The Hollywood Reporter. "I really believed he should be 210 pounds." To accomplish this task, Gosling drank melted cartons of Häagen Dazs ice cream, but when he showed up on set, Jackson was unimpressed and ultimately replaced Gosling with Mark Wahlberg. "Then I was fat and unemployed," said Gosling.

|While most movie actors gain weight to disappear into their roles, Rob McElhenney, the creator and one of the stars of the FX TV series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", just did it for fun. The actor gained 52 pounds, going from 160 to 212, by consuming five 1,000-calorie meals a day. "As I started off I was doing it with chicken breast and rice and vegetables," McElhenney told The Wrap. "But when you're four months in it and you have to muscle down 1,000 calories for the third time or fourth time in a day and you have to either eat three chicken breasts, two cups of rice and two cups of vegetables—or one Big Mac—you start to see the Big Mac and realize it's a lot easier to get down ... And then every once in a while I would eat three doughnuts. And every day one of my meals was a high-calorie protein shake." While McElhenney didn't feel lethargic at all, there was one tiny downside. "My legs and my gut got so big that my penis looked even smaller," said McElhenney.

|Undergoing a radical body transformation often spells Oscar, and it did in George Clooney's case for his role as CIA agent Robert Baer in the 2005 film "Syriana." Fitness freak Clooney put on 30 pounds in 30 days, feasting on bowl after bowl of pasta (and grew a beard) to portray the real-life Baer. "The truth is, it's not nearly as fun as it sounds, the idea of putting on that kind of weight, but at the end of the day, in general, that's what we do for a living," Clooney told The Tech. "So my job was just to eat as fast as I could, as much as I could … But mostly you just ate until you wanted to throw up, and made sure you didn't throw up. So that was my job for a month, was eating." The gorging on food paid off, as Clooney was awarded the best-supporting-actor Oscar for his performance—his only Academy Award to date.

|In addition to shaving off her eyebrows, donning prosthetic teeth and tons of blotchy makeup, former model Charlize Theron packed on 30 pounds to portray real-life serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the 2003 film "Monster." "I first began stuffing myself with Krispy Kreme doughnuts, but after a while I got sick of them," Theron told Guerrilla Traveler. "I love potato chips, so that was a good thing for me. I'm a salty girl so I had my secret stash with me of potato chips at all times." Theron, who was completely unrecognizable in the role, won the best-actress Oscar for her performance.

Cambridge University, inStem and NCBS collaboration to get $17.29 million funding
Bangalore: The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, will fund a new initiative for chemical biology and molecular therapeutics in Bangalore at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) in collaboration with the National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). Support from multiple sources including the DBT will provide close to $17.29 million (Rs940 million) to establish the initiative.
Researchers in the initiative will combine methods from genetics, chemistry, cell biology, biochemistry and imaging to understand the alterations in cellular systems that underlie human diseases, and identify ways to correct them using drugs.
The initiative is expected to develop powerful new scientific approaches for the treatment of diseases like cancer, integrating expertise from the basic and clinical sciences in India. It will create a multidisciplinary environment for training young researchers and physicians in the translation of fundamental research to clinical application.
The new initiative is the result of a collaboration that links Professors S Ramaswamy, K VijayRaghavan, Satyajit Mayor and colleagues at inStem and NCBS in Bangalore, with Professor Ashok Venkitaraman at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The initiative began in September 2011 when Cambridge University's vice chancellor Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with inStem and NCBS. The inStem governing council is chaired by Dr M K Bhan, secretary, Department of Biotechnology, Government of India.
Sir Leszek pointed out that "Cambridge and the Tata Institute, of which NCBS is a part, have a long history of connections. TIFR's founder Dr Homi Bhabha studied and worked in Cambridge as have many NCBS and inStem faculty. We view this very important collaboration as mutually beneficial and an example of how the best in basic research can address important biomedical questions."

The artist Gerald Laing has died at his home, Kinkell Castle on the Black Isle, aged 75.
Laing was best known for his iconic images, which included as the remarkable 1962 portrait of French film star Brigitte Bardot and, more recently, his paintings of Amy Winehouse, who herself died earlier this year.
Always operating on the pulse of modernity, Laing's early talent was recognised by both his contemporaries and the art establishment whilst he was a student at St Martin's College of Art in London. He painted many of his memorable images there, including the one of Bardot, which went on to become a bestselling Habitat poster and highly collectable screenprint.
Laing was invited along with other British Pop artists, notably Richard Smith, Peter Blake and Joe Tilson, to attend weekly discussions about the "New Idea", and at about the same time in New York he was accepted on the art scene in America.
He spent some time living with Robert Indiana and worked in the same circles as the still to become famous Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Jim Rosenquist, among others.
Laing was at the centre of the American Pop Art movement. Before graduating, he had been taken on by a leading American gallery, after which he then moved his young family to New York, where he made a successful name for himself as an "American" artist.
He showed his work at the American Pavilion at São Paulo Biennale in 1966 and his paintings were acquired by leading American museums and institutions. The subjects of his work during this period were mainly based around four themes: the novelty of space travel; the modern and dangerous pursuit of dragster racing; sport parachuting; and his infamous Starlets, the bikini-clad "ideal" women.
Laing had a dedicated passion and appreciation for machinery and young women that lasted throughout his lifetime.
Friends describe him as "a bold and political thinker", and Laing was also known for using the Pop idiom as reportage to confront controversial issues throughout his career, often provoking strong reactions.
For example, his commemorative work Lincoln convertible, believed to be the only painted record of President John F Kennedy's assassination by a living artist of significance, was deemed too controversial to display.
It was hidden away from view by his art dealer in a shed for almost 30 years. Again according to friends, so profound was the impact of this on Laing, and such was his disappointment, that it contributed towards shattering his faith in the American Dream.
Similarly, the body of work he produced in response to the wars in Iraq and the 7/7 London bombings are later examples of Laing using his art as a platform on which to confront contemporary values and the establishment.
In this case, despite making highly uncomfortable viewing, Laing achieved immediate success with them and as they have been widely publicised and exhibited as some of the most significant and incisive commentaries on these matters.
Laing, whom friends say was disillusioned with the American politic, moved to the Highlands to fulfil a childhood dream of rebuilding a castle ruin and he purchased ailing but beautiful Kinkell Castle, near Inverness.
Newly married to his beloved muse and second wife, Galina, they departed New York together and returned to the United Kingdom on the QE2. The happy couple were treated to a send-off party on board the ship with a cake Lichtenstein had decorated with the saltire to celebrate the occasion.
Laing was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1936, the son of a soldier from the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers and Enid Foster, originally from Newcastle. Laing's relationship with his father was absent and his childhood even with his mother was unhappy, but his response to this was to embark on life from scratch with tremendous energy and zeal.
As head of an extensive family, what he achieved in his lifetime is both inspiring and admirable. After training at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, Laing joined his father's regiment in 1955 as a young officer.
He soon discovered, however, that the life of a soldier was not for him – and, after a brief flirtation with the idea of becoming a ballet dancer, Laing left the Fusiliers in 1960. After taking art lessons in secret, he enrolled to become an art student at St Martin's.
After gradual success and finally eminence in America, and a grand retrospective at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art on his return to the UK, he treated the ruin of Kinkell Castle like a giant work of sculpture, lovingly hand-crafting and repairing it with great expertise and newly acquired skills.
Laing also found time during this period to set up a tapestry workshop, where he taught himself the traditional skills of tapestry weaving. Once content that he had acquired sufficient skills himself, he trained and employed a team of weavers who ran a successful enterprise, and Henry Moore was among a number of famous people who had tapestries made there.
Laing also set up a bronze foundry at Kinkell Castle after experiencing an epiphany at the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner.
He sought out and worked under the expert guidance of George Mancini, a retired Italian master in bronze whose family used traditional methods passed down from Roman times.
It was from this particular venture that Laing built an incredible body of sculptural work comprising of both personal and public commissions over a period of 30 years.
His earliest surviving examples of working in bronze can be seen in the Galina Series, a group of portrait bronzes depicting the love of his life. Further significant sculptures include: Four Rugby Players and The Line-out at Twickenham, the home of English rugby.
His frieze of The Wise and Foolish Virgins adorns the Standard Life building in George Street, Edinburgh. Axis Mundi, again for Standard Life, and a memorial to Sir Arthur Conan are also in Edinburgh and there are two editions of The Highlanders at Helmsdale in Sutherland.
Notable portrait commissions carried out by Laing include Sir Paul Getty, Sam Wanamaker, Luciano Pavarotti, Johnny Johnson and Siaka Stevens.
Laing's work is collected all over the world. Examples can be found in the collections of the National Gallery, the Tate and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; in the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art; in the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum in New York; and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC; and in the Indianapolis Museum.
Other examples of Laing's work are known to be in the private collections of some of the world's most famous women, including the supermodels Jerry Hall and Kate Moss, the designer Sadie Frost and the late singer Amy Winehouse.
Laing's decision to divide his time between London and Kinkell Castle in the last decade of his life created a huge stir in the art world and affected a renaissance period for him that lasted right up to his death.
Friends say this makes the loss of his battle with his illness even more tragic, as the true extent of his renown was just being realised and re-addressed.
Laing died of cancer, and worked right up until his death. He leaves three ex-wives and six much-loved children.
– Gerald Laing, artist, 11 November 1936 – 23 November 2011.

First popularized by the comical sidekick Timon in Disney's "The Lion King," and then celebrated in the Animal Planet television series "Meerkat Manor" (2005-2009), meerkats are members of the mongoose family that live in social "mobs" or "gangs" of up to 30 members in burrows in the Kalahari Desert, in the southern African nations of Botswana and South Africa.
No mere cats, meerkats (Suricata suricatta) are fascinating for living in structured but cooperative societies, including a foraging strategy where adults take turns standing guard upright on their hind feet, watching for predators, while the others eat. As the popular "Meerkat Manor" television series showed, the family-based "mobs" are not lacking in daily drama – from internal relationship issues to battles with other "mobs" encroaching on their territory to the ever-present fear of jackals and eagles.
The exhibit features six sibling meerkats – three males, three females – born in the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their Maritime Aquarium habitat offers windows into their underground burrows, so all meerkat activity is within view. And there is a viewing bubble, so visitors can stand up right among the meerkats.

The museum has several exhibition spaces
- the central patio of 1200 square metres (13,000 sq ft) is home to three exhibitions annually
- the chapelle de l'Oratoire, a splendid Baroque space of 450 square metres (5000 sq ft), hosts three exhibitions per year
- the blanche Room, of 70 square metres (750 sq ft), hosts six presentations by contemporary artists each year.
- En 2017, the museum will reopen with a new building The Cube. The Cube will offer 2000 square metres for the contemporary collection
The Nantes Museum of Fine Arts pursues a bold, ambitious policy of temporary exhibitions, each of which is accompanied by a publication containing photos of the works and specially-written texts. With a view to highlighting all the periods represented in the collection, this carefully balanced programme covers the gamut from pre-modern to contemporary art.
Sometimes tying in with the permanent collection, the temporary exhibitions provide a fresh look at a given period or artist. Devoted to specific themes, artists or movements, they often feature loans from other museums in France or abroad, and from private collectors.
In addition, special "spotlight" exhibitions are organised within the permanent collection.
The museum also has spaces that lend themselves to the creation of site-specific installations: the Patio, for example, has seen truly remarkable works by Anish Kapoor, François Morellet and Ernesto Neto.

The award recognizes excellence in research that is aimed at curing intractable diseases and extending human life. The prize will be administered by the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to advancing breakthrough research, celebrating scientists and generating excitement about the pursuit of science as a career.
The first 11 recipients of the Breakthrough Prize have been decided as Dr Cornelia I Bargmann (for the genetics of neural circuits and behavior, and synaptic guidepost molecules), Dr David Botstein (for linkage mapping of Mendelian disease in humans using DNA polymorphisms), Dr Lewis C Cantley (for the discovery of PI 3-Kinase and its role in cancer metabolism), Dr Hans Clevers (for describing the role of Wnt signaling in tissue stem cells and cancer), Dr Napoleone Ferrara (for discoveries in the mechanisms of angiogenesis that led to therapies for cancer and eye diseases).
The other recipients include, Dr Titia de Lange (for research on telomeres, illuminating how they protect chromosome ends and their role in genome instability in cancer), Dr Eric S Lander (for the discovery of general principles for identifying human disease genes), Dr Charles L Sawyers (for cancer genes and targeted therapy), Mr Bert Vogelstein (for cancer genomics and tumor suppressor genes), Dr Robert A Weinberg (for characterization of human cancer genes), Dr Shinya Yamanaka (Nobel Laureate known for his work on induced pluripotent stem cells). All prize winners have agreed to serve on the Selection Committee of the Foundation to choose recipients of future prizes.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the prize will be that anyone will be able to nominate a candidate online for consideration. Also, the prize can be shared between any number of deserving scientists and can be received more than once. In addition, there are no age restrictions for nominees. All Breakthrough Prize recipients will be invited to present public talks targeting a general audience. These lectures, together with supporting materials, will be made available to the public, allowing everyone to keep abreast of the latest developments in life sciences, guided by contemporary masters of the field.

Well Fellas,
Was opening morning here in Ontario yesterday now that our Thanksgiving is over. Went to my usual spot to chase old Tom again for the fall season and didn't even get to see a turkey, much less play any kind of game with them. Didn't see any sign at any of the usual roosts that I know of, so not sure where they've all gone. I do know we've had a bumper crop of coyotes here in Ontario this year, so maybe they've been doing well at the turkey's expense. I did find out after that the neighbouring farm had taken their soy beans off and that the day before, the farmer whose property I was on, saw a flock of 60 over there. I do hope it's just a case of short term food chasing and not coyotes decimating the flocks, but we'll see.
As such, I do have another farm that I'm planning on visiting maybe tomorrow that doesn't have any cash crops right close and consistently has turks, so maybe I'll have better luck there .
I'll keep everyone posted on how I make out, good or bad and hope everyone else is having a great fall hunt.
Bad day in the woods beats a great day in the office,

When today's musical magpies look back to the '80s to steal the sonic shiny items that catch their ears' fancy, they gravitate toward the Day-Glo sheen of that era's false promise and anthemic vacuousness. Thieves Like Us, however, are not that breed of pilferer.
Although they steal from the past (shamelessly! gratuitously!), their music is about creating an alternate '80s that captures the bottomed-out loneliness born of excess and restless indulgence. Their debut, last year's Play Music, still fooled you into waltzing onto the dance floor, with 808-pounders like "Drugs in My Body."
Again and Again is a beast of a different color, the sound of a classic New Order or Pet Shop Boys track — if someone had first sunk his incisors in and drained the blood from it. Death dirges like "Forget Me Not," "Mercy," and "Silence" manage to be funereal and joyless without appropriating goth tropes. Instead, the way these young Europeans utilize cascading synth figures — which loop and descend like a dying message in the farthest reaches of outer space — suggests a final sad request for one last dance before the inevitable apocalypse. Boredom and forlorn ennui have never sounded so charmingly chipper.

Mingle with the monarchsButterfly lollipops are a hot item at the Pennsylvania Farm Show this year. They are not something new on the menu at the food court, but an essential part of the Folk's Butterfly Farm exhibit in the Main Hall.
Everyone who enters the greenhouse that contains thousands of butterflies is given a butterfly lollipop — a cotton Q-tip swab dipped in grape Gatorade.
David Folk, who runs the butterfly farm with his family, instructs each person to hold out the lollipop to a butterfly until it latches on and rests there.
Hands-on: Inside the 75-degree greenhouse, cameras click away, capturing awe on the faces of children and parents alike as butterflies land on the "lollipops" and on their clothing. The butterfly house has live butterflies, caterpillars and chrysalises, and the stand owners encourage close interaction between people and the butterflies.
This is the second year that Folk's Butterfly Farm, which is in Columbia County, has set up at the farm show, and they estimate that around 2,000 people stopped in each day over opening weekend. That figure is slightly higher than last year, said Kristie Good, David Folk's daughter.
"Now people come back and say they're glad to see us again," Kristie Good said.
Good originally raised and sold butterflies for an FFA project when she was in high school. Her first attempt was a flop because the temperatures were too cool, but her second attempt was a success, and she began selling butterflies she raised for weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.
It grew into a family endeavor with her parents and her husband, Eugene Good. They travel to events throughout the state, give educational presentations and welcome field trips to their farm. The butterfly lollipops work well as long as they use "high test" Gatorade and not a low-calorie version, said Kristie Good. In the beginning she tried sugar water, but someone recommended Gatorade and that seems to work even better, she said.
It's OK: Some visitors worry that touching the butterflies will cause them to become injured and unable to fly, but butterflies are resilient. Their wings are made of scales like fish, so the worst thing that could happen is for their coloring to rub off, said Eugene Good. Moths, however, have wings made of powder, and touching their wings does cause permanent damage.
The four species of butterflies native to Pennsylvania in the butterfly house are the Painted Lady, Buckeye, Monarch and Eastern Black Swallowtail. Other types inside are the Zebra Longwing, Julia, Great Southern White and Giant Swallowtails.
Butterflies generally do not fly in weather below 55 degrees, and they do not fly when it's raining, said Eugene Good.
Admission to the butterfly house is $2. For more information, visit www.folksbutterflyfarm.com.

Deeplinks Blog posts about File Sharing
EFF, Public Knowledge, and the Center for Democracy and Technology Urge The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to Protect Internet Subscribers in BMG v. Cox.
No one should have to fear losing their Internet connection because of unfounded accusations. But some rights holders want to use copyright law to force your Internet service provider (ISP) to cut off your access whenever they say so, and in a case the Washington Post called "the copyright case that should worry all Internet providers," they're hoping the courts will help them.
If you only listened to entertainment industry lobbyists, you'd think that music and film studios are fighting a losing battle against copyright infringement over the Internet. Hollywood representatives routinely tell policymakers that the only response to the barrage of online infringement is to expand copyright or even create new copyright-adjacent rights.
Copyright Lawsuits Won't Stop People from Sharing Research
In principle, everyone in the world should have access to the same body of knowledge. The UN Declaration of Human Rights says that everyone deserves the right "to share in scientific advancement and its benefits."
The reality is a bit messier. Institutional subscriptions to academic databases don't cover every article someone would ever need. When scholars and professors find a reference to an article that they don't have access to, they'll often turn to less orthodox approaches: asking for the paper on Twitter or Facebook, emailing a friend at another institution, or even asking the author directly. For a lot of people, research amounts to a patchwork of sources culled together through authorized and unauthorized methods.
Right now the FCC is considering a set of rules that would allow Internet providers to offer faster access to some websites that can afford to pay. We need to stop them.
Let's start with the obvious: The Internet is how we communicate and how we work, learn new things, and find out where to go and how to get there. It keeps us connected to those we love and informed of political events that affect our everyday lives.
The content lobby's narrative about the Internet's impact on the creative industry has grown all too familiar. According to this tiresome story, Hollywood is doing everything it can to prevent unauthorized downloading, but people—enabled by peer-to-peer technologies, "rogue" websites, search engines, or whatever the bogeyman of the moment is—keep doing it anyway. As a result, say groups like the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), creators are deprived of their hard-earned and well-deserved profits and have little incentive to keep creating.
There's a lot that's wrong with this story (like the assumption that most copyright royalties actual end up in the pockets of the artists). But one of the most pernicious aspects is the idea that Hollywood is actually making a sincere effort to meet user demand.

Marvell Technology (MRVL) was up more than 3% after reporting second-quarter earnings of 23 cents a share on revenue of $807.1 million.
Analysts expected the company to earn 19 cents a share on revenue of $791.3 million.
For the third quarter, Marvel guided for EPS between 23 cents and 27 cents a share, above the 24-cent consensus. Revenue of $850 million to $890 million also came in ahead of the $845.23 million the Street was expecting.
Last week, B. Riley & Co. boosted the stock to Buy, in part on a potential second-quarter beat.

7) He bought glasses from the Salvation Army thrift store for like $0.25 or something ridiculous and got his prescription lenses put in at the glasses store. These glasses were PROFOUNDLY UNATTRACTIVE, and yet, he pulled them off. (He used them just for using the computer, though. Not in public).

Nah. Thought about it, though. I heard the voice of Palpy... "you want, this, don't you?" But then I heard him again... "you no longer have any need for those. Guards; leave us." :thereisnoconflict:
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Wouldn't it be cool if he were still there until clearance time? : pieinthesky :

Just got around to picking up the 2 decent-sized Hallmark ships from this year's offerings... skipped the minis again.
The Imp Shuttle is awesome... wings fold completely up and down and the paint and detailing are very nice. It loudly plays The Imperial March and it lights up the engines in blue when you hit the button.
One thing... ignore the "instructions"... you'll need a micro Phillips screwdriver to put the batteries into it. Also, there's no landing gear on this one, for those who want the wings displayed up... but it is nice. It's well scaled to go with the original Hallmark Falcon (a personal fave).
Admiral? Admiral!
The Reliant is also excellent... quite similar to the Furuta. Pushing the button lights up the insides of the nacelles (and a light on the top at the front of each nacelle). The impulse section has brightly lit blue domes on the top and bottom of the saucer, and the impulse engines light up red, too. Could really have used a stand, though.
Strange that there's no voice of Khan, though. So many funny Khan lines are missed here.
It's nice not to have wires hanging out of these ships, but I do prefer ships that stay lit all of the time, rather than 30 seconds after a button is pushed...
All-in-all though, they're very nice indeed.

There's another special weekend coming up, October 11, with just one SW ornament: a small Death Star II and Star Destroyer (not Executor, though). I noticed a Star Trek communicator as well, and thought that'd been made already.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
my wife bought me the Imperial Shuttle and Luke vs Vader the other day. she got them for 30% off at Kohl's
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I was in Hallmark yesterday, and they had several Royal Guards on the shelf. Bought one so that now I can put Palpy with a guard on either side of him.
While it's possible these were leftovers from July (they did have at least a dozen that day), I'm guessing they got a second shipment in to coincide with the October 11th release. Much better than last year, when the stores only got in 6 Tusken Raiders, and never got a second case.
"I take orders from just one person - ME!"
I just saw these pics... thought some of youzes might be interested, too. Count me in for Old Pikey as well as the vehicles.... wonder if we'll see him or Cap't April in the new flick?
I'd imagine that there are more SW ornaments to come, but I think that this covers all of the Trek ones. Yay... K'T'inga! Nice choice!
More info:
"Two of the remaining ornaments for 2009 will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Hallmark will offer ornaments of the K't'inga-class Klingon battle cruiser (complete with incredible detail of the hull plating and glowing torpedo launchers) and the Ilia probe (sporting her white outfit and neck jewel - pheromone glands sold separately). Ilia will be a limited-quantity ornament, as was the one of Lt. Uhura in 2007, so be prepared to hit your Hallmark Gold Crown store the day it goes on sale.
The last ornament for 2009 will be a TOS hand phaser that lights and plays sound effects as well as lines of dialogue just as this year's TOS communicator ornament does. The line choices are very cool (I got to help pick 'em) and this ornament is one we've wanted to do for a long time. If you like the communicator (and people who saw it and played with it this weekend sure did), then you'll love the phaser."

We got a good long look at the second-term edition of Barack Obama last week, and he's sounding more like Bill Clinton every day.
It's not all that surprising. Over the last two years, Obama has turned repeatedly to Clinton for counsel. And Obama was a target of Clinton's advice even before he asked for it. In a 2011 book and a series of public appearances, the former president laid out a polite but biting critique of Obama's first-term stumbles. Warning No. 1, coming from the man who proclaimed (in his 1996 State of the Union message) that "the era of big government is over," was that Obama shouldn't fall into the trap of defending big government. Sure enough, in Obama's State of the Union speech last week, we heard this: "It's not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government."
Obama's rhetoric still aims high; he hasn't given up all hope of transforming American politics. But his concrete proposals these days are smaller and more Clintonian, a necessary adjustment in the face of entrenched Republican opposition.
In his State of the Union address, Obama promised to revive manufacturing jobs, but the major details turned out to be modest: long-proposed tax changes to make "offshoring" more expensive and $1 billion to create "innovation institutes." He called for universal preschool education, but the programs he offered turned out to be not quite universal and mostly aimed at spurring states to act. In a sense, we're seeing the third version of the Obama presidency. Obama 1.0 was the ambitious Obama of 2009, swept into office in a landslide amid economic crisis. That expansive Obama tackled everything at once – a giant economic stimulus program, a healthcare law and financial reform – and intended to pass immigration reform and climate-change legislation too.
But that agenda turned out to be too ambitious, even with both houses of Congress in Democratic hands. Obama 2.0 tried to draw lessons from those setbacks.
So, by the end of 2011, we began to see Obama 3.0: a more confrontational president bent on reestablishing a popular mandate for his core policies, beginning with tax hikes on the wealthy. That Obama turned out to be pretty skilled at his job, winning convincingly in November. Does the president really expect to win a $9 minimum wage, universal preschool education and a ban on assault weapons despite the GOP-held House? No. But those are proposals that please not only confirmed Democrats but many swing voters as well. Provoking Republicans into opposing them helps Obama cast the GOP as a party of cranky conservatives – another tactic at which Clinton excelled. There's an irony, of course, in the echoes of Bill Clinton that turn up in Obama's strategy today. In the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, Obama not only ran against Hillary Clinton; he dismissed her husband's tenure in the White House as unimpressive.
But Obama 3.0 is a more practical man. Bill Clinton's second term wasn't an unqualified success; he spent much of his tenure battling personal scandals and impeachment. (Somehow, Obama appears unlikely to follow that pattern.) But Clinton left office with a solid list of accomplishments, high popularity and a healthy economy. That kind of legacy is another thing Obama would like to emulate.

Car prowlings on the rise near Centennial Trail
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Centennial Trail is a popular spot for people all over the Inland Northwest but if you use the trail, be extra cautious. Car prowlings are on the rise along the trail-head parking lots.
The Sheriff's Department says that in a little over a month, there's been 20 car-breaks along the trail.
"It's happening all the way from the West Plains all the way out to the State Line. At all the trail heads we have had incidents," Craig Chamberlin with the Spokane Sheriff's Department said.Car prowlings on the rise near Centennial Trail
Chamberlin says trail users should be smart! This means not leaving valuables, like purses, iPads and GPS systems, in plain sight inside your car.
"If you are leaving something out in the open, the criminal element is going to walk by and then are going to victimize your vehicle and take your personal belongings," Chamberlin said.
If you can't leave your valuables at home, Chamberlin says to lock them in your trunk.
"It's sad, no matter where you are you shouldn't have to think about that or be concerned but the reality is that it happens so just using wisdom," trail user Brenda Day said.
Trail users like Brenda Day say the recent break-ins won't break her trail using habits.
"I hope it won't keep other people either, just out of the potential of fear, I wouldn't want that to stop somebody from seeing the great outdoors," she said.
If you ever witness any suspicious activity at these trail-heads, please call 911 or Crime Check at 456-2233.
