I'm not sure how or why, but the Universe has been mocking me. For the past couple of months I've been battling against various skin problems as you have probably heard about from my previous blog post. And since then and until a week ago it was getting back to normal slowly but surely. Last Saturday I came back home late at night and noticed how much better it got. Little did I know that the next morning I would wake up to a face that looked like the one from EVERY PERSON's NIGHTMARE.
[Trying] to keep the story short, apparently I had an allergic reaction for the first time in my life. Or not. The three doctors I visited never knew what the heck happened to me exactly. I went to bed with a normal skin at 1am and woke up with a face that is even hardly enough comparable to acne problems coupled with a fever. The crap on my face spread further down my neck and shoulders the following day. It happened violently (in 24-hours), but disappeared quite quickly as well to my sincere surprise, leaving me with huge discolourations as if someone put some blush instead of contouring. One thing I'm sure of 100% is that it was not any of my skin care products. So, it's safe to share the ones that helped me to tame the beast and finally make it go away.
Thermal Spring Water by Avène
When I woke up and saw the face that wasn't mine on Sunday morning, I quickly jumped into my jeans, grabbed my bag and sprinted to the only pharmacy I knew was open on Sundays in Paris [because it's France, dah]. First things first, I asked something for allergy. And as my face would definitely not tolerate any tap water I picked up Thermal Spring Water from Avène to help soothe my itchy skin that was on fire. I ended up using it for the whole week even to cleanse my skin by just spraying the product all over my face and softly swiping the rest of it after a minute or two with a clean cloth or a cotton.
About 6.5 € for 300 ml
Cicalfate by Avène
NOT SPONSORED,although would love to, especially, since how much I've talked about this product in this blog post and just on social media. The only thing I would love to add is that it was a part of my prescription from a dermatologist who told me that Cicalfate Repair Cream already contained some amount of antiseptic that would help to soothe, repair and clean out my pores. That's my must-have-product.
About 8 € for 40ml
Last but not least, I did a lot of antiseptic compress using a similar product you see on the photo. The one I used is over but the composition and the principe is similar and the same. I would take a cotton, damp it in the product and apply on affected zones [aka my whole freaking face] for 15 minutes, repeating the procedure three times a day. It helped me tremendously since the crap was on the surface of my face. Unfortunately, it is not as helpful if you have an under skin pimple. But if you have a general white thingy poking out and saying "hello", then try applying it locally for 5 minutes. It was recommended to me by one of the doctors I actually know and trust.
So, here are the 3 products that basically saved my face. I still have no idea what happened exactly and why it was so brutal. Since then, I have a serious skin care obsession and think that it is something I am going to be investing in. After all, I have only one face for who the hack knows how many years.
Have anything like this happened to you? Please, feel free to leave a skin care product recommandation in the comments below. I would love to hear all about it!

Oil water mix in the radiator
I purchsed few days ago. suddently msg came on the panel board that coolant level is low and switch off the engine.
I check with one mechanic, he said radiator is to be changed. I do not understand the problem and how much cost of repair for the same.
4 Answers
That sounds like a blown head gasket, worst case scenario would be a crack in the block between an oil passage and coolant passage. Absolutely nothing to do with the radiator.
Yes you are correct. coolant pipe is burst. But if Head gasket is blown off then do I need to open the engine head and replace the gasket. But Audi mechnic is saying oil cooler valve integral part of this Audi S8 raditor is blown off. and hence raditor needs to be changed. Is it correct. waiting for reply ASAP.
That makes sense, I was just going off general engine info, the Audi tech. has info specific to that vehicle that I don't have.
With that information I don't think the head gasket would be blown in this case.

I had a good week although it was not without it's pitfalls. My main focus was completing Domenica's skirts as she wanted them for a vacation this week. The first skirt came together well: straightforward fitting and no sewing mishaps. Domenica chose a fun print from Sherri Berry Designs called Mod Tod Gears in Green. The shorter length and flirty ruffle work well with this fun print:
The second skirt should have been easy as it was almost the same style as the first; I just wanted to move the zipper from the center back to the side and add a lining. Easy peasy. But you know when you are trying to parallel park your car into an easy spot but you just can't seem to get the angle right? That's how I felt mid-way through making this skirt. I felt like the skirt was cursed. (Sorry Domenica, it really isn't.) At almost every step I made some dumb mistake that was completely fixable but still annoying and time-consuming. Like: I almost ran out of fabric while cutting it out (I had to piece together the inside back waistband), I sewed my label onto the front of the waistband instead of the back, I completely sewed up (and SERGED) both side seams of the lining so there was no opening to put it on, I turned around one part of the waistband while sewing it together. My seam ripper got a good workout on this skirt as did my patience. I finally walked away and came back to it later in the evening after relaxing for a bit. The last few steps went smoothly so I guess the poltergeist had moved on from my sewing room. I hope she didn't come to yours.
Here is the cursed skirt, looking very cheerful and obedient:
Domenica chose Happy Mochi Yum Yum India in Lemon (isn't that a lovely name?) for the main fabric. I added teal topstitching to the pockets and waistband and a teal button for the closure. And please notice how I matched the print on the pocket and pocket facing - nice, huh?! I'll be making a reversible wrap skirt for Domenica a little later this summer. She even found the tutorial for me!
Cora, my 4.5-year-old, has been practicing her hand sewing with a plastic needle and felt (little holes punched out). I decided that it was time for her to try the real thing (thread, sharp needle). This decision was mostly based on need - I wanted to keep working on something and needed to give Cora something novel to do. And it turns out that she's ready! Here's what she made:
If you can't tell, it's a Tooth Fairy pillow. She wanted to put the eye drops in the pocket for the picture so that everyone could tell that the pillow has a pocket. And she's super happy that she now has a handmade creation on my blog. Ah, kids!
And speaking of kids, I think I can now say that I have taught sewing. Teaching is not new for me - I spent 13 years as a teacher and teacher supervisor at a supplementary reading program - but I haven't yet taught sewing. Liita, who runs Little Bits Workshop, invited me to come work with one of her students who was having trouble with a pleated skirt. I jumped at the chance and had a lot of fun. It was rewarding to work with someone new to sewing and L, the student, did a great job. She got frustrated/bored/tired of the skirt at one point but pushed through until she got to a good stopping point. So now she's got one more experience with the rewards of perserverance under her belt. And Liita offered me a more regular teaching job going forward. You can't see my smile but I hope you can feel it coming through the screen!
I decided to try to produce 4-5 clutch wallets for the Urban Trunk Show at Little Bits Workshop on May 12. This item fits best with the upcycling/recycling emphasis at Little Bits and Liita thinks that they will sell well. It usually takes me about 4 hours to make one, so I'll need to find a way to shave off some time. One way to do this is to go into factory line mode, as I'm often faster when I am doing the same thing over and over again. This weekend I did the work of selecting about 70 swatches to use for the wallets and then removed all of their backings. I had to stop a couple of times to wash my hands as they kept getting sticky from the backing and the residue left on the fabric. But here are 6 (including one for Jen) packs of wallet fabric, all ready for the cutting table (I'll try to squeeze that in somehow this week).
And, finally, I managed to find a small amount of time to sew some tops. I fixed the Dolman Sleeve top (tutorial from Make It Love It) from last week by cutting 6 inches off the length and attaching a 5 inch band at the bottom. I used the too-small version of the top to make the band so I still have a bit of fabric left (maybe a little shirt for Cora or Maisey or their bears?). I also re-did the neck band and I'm much happier with it. I don't know that this is ever going to be my favorite top, but I like it more. And surprisingly, Devon went out of his way to say that he liked it and his usual response is a perfunctory "nice, good work," when I beg for a compliment on something that I've made.
Oh! And check out the chevron on the sleeves. This was a bit of a happy accident. I wanted to make sure that the stripes matched at the side seams so I laid the cut-out front on the fabric so that I could match the stripes before cutting out the back. I didn't even think about the fact that this would make a chevron along the shoulder seam, but it did!
I was feeling a little unfulfilled on Sunday afternoon because all I'd managed to do sewing-wise was getting all that backing off the swatches. So while Devon took Cora to the store and Maisey was still napping, I whipped up another cowl neck top. I wanted to try putting a short sleeve on it so I flipped through my patterns to find one that I liked. I stole the cap sleeve from Vogue 8787 (which is a great dress - I need to make this soon!):
|Vogue 8787
I didn't really spend much time thinking about how this would work. I cut out a size and pulled the armsyce while I sewed in the sleeve to give it a curve. And it worked! Have I said yet how much I love sewing with jersey? So in less than an hour I had this new top:
So this week I will finish Bryn's skirts and start working on Marides' skirts. And then there's all that cutting to do. Maybe I can borrow some of L's perseverance.
Have a great week!

I so enjoyed creating the previous small 10*10 "Rainy night in the city" that decided to try something very similar but on a bigger canvas. Every single moment of the process was filled with appreciation of the oil paints! It felt like creating a sculpture (I should try that for real) in terms of the paint's elasticity and ability to create sharp edges and smooth silhouettes when needed. Here you can find all the details on how i created the painting:http://alina-madan-art.com/my-own-projects/rainy-night-in-the-city-version-ii/The original painting is on 3/4 inch wrapped canvas (back stapled). The sides are painted so it doesn't technically need a frame and ready to be hung as is.Some of my paintings are in private collections throughout the US .MATERIALS used to create this artwork are of the highest professional grade and archival quality.DESPITE the major advances in digital photography and high-definition monitors, there might be discrepancy between the color schemes on your monitor and actual painting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept commissions?
Unfortunately, I cannot accept commissions at this time. This includes tattoo and logo designs, as well as art prints and papercuttings. I love working with clients, but right now I need to focus on my original work and planned projects.
What are prints and papercuttings?
Prints are made through a process known as relief printing. Using special tools, I carve away parts of a rubber or linoleum block, creating an image or design. The portion of the block left uncarved is inked using a brayer, while the areas that have been carved away will be ink-free (and therefore white space). When the block is pressed against the paper, it leaves an image. This is also known as blockprinting, linoprinting, or linocut printing. Each print for sale is an original (not a digital reproduction), with its own individual characteristics.
To read about the process and tools in further detail, please check out this blog post.
Papercuttings are pictures created by layering multiple colors and textures of cut paper to create the larger image. Unlike many historical traditions of papercutting, my images are not cut from one single piece of paper; instead, each element of the image is individually cut in a different color, layered, and affixed to a base background sheet. I love to create multiple layers of an image by covering a smaller background image with an outline or silhouette.
What materials do you use?
If you're interested in the specific details around block printing materials, please see the Tools & Materials page.
For block printing, I use archival quality water-soluble relief ink on a variety of papers, depending on the project. I draw, carve, and print by hand, with each print pressed individually and having its own unique character.
For papercutting, the type of paper changes based on the design, but generally the largest portion consists of some kind of acid-free cardstock. For some projects, lighter or heavier paper is required, so it's subject to change.
How long before I receive my artwork?
If it's already in stock, a print will ship within a few days of purchase, and US shipments generally take 1-3 days to get through the mail system. Prints are often made-to-order, though, so please allow 7-10 days for printing and full drying before it's ready to ship.
Papercuttings are no longer made-to-order, so if one is available it will ship out 2-3 days after purchase.
My shipment day is generally Friday or Saturday, and I mail out everything that's ready to go. If I have quite a few orders ready before that, I'll ship earlier in the week, as well. You'll receive a shipping confirmation when your order ships.
For more information about shipping, please see the shipping page.
Can I request an alteration?
While I don't offer custom commissions at this time, I can potentially provide alterations if they are around ink or paper color changes, depending on availability. If you have something else in mind, please ask and we can discuss. Alterations will typically be at no or minimal additional cost; if there is an additional cost, I will inform you up-front and explain why.
What if my art arrives damaged?
I take great care in packing each piece for shipment, but if your artwork arrives damaged please contact me immediately. I will create a replacement at no cost and ship it out as soon as it's ready (after drying time, etc.). I kindly request that you email me a photo or detail of the damage for my records.

Boys always teased Lily in that hair-pulling-you-can't-catch-me way that little boys will. She suspected it was her hair, which was very long and very red and quite pretty, if she did say so herself.
But she wasn't up for teasing on her first day at Hogwarts. There had been some nasty boys on the train and Severus was in another house and she had never been away from home for longer than a night. Her dormmates, three other girls who seemed nice enough but weren't nervous at all, were already asleep. Lily had tried all sorts of positions in an attempt to do the same, but it just wasn't working. With a sigh, she dug her tape player out of her trunk, trying to muffle the noise as much as possible. She pulled on her quilted dressing gown, the one whose pockets her mother had embroidered with her name, and went down to the room at the bottom of the stairs, the one they called the common room. A fire was still burning in the hearth and she wondered if it was a magical fire. Did it stay lit all the time? She supposed she would wait and see.
Everything seemed calmer and less scary down here. She picked the cushiest looking chair and tucked herself into it. She put in the headphones and turned on the tape, ready for Rod Stewart to soothe her to sleep.
Nothing happened.
Perhaps it needed new batteries. That would be disappointing because she didn't know where you could buy batteries at Hogwarts. Perhaps she could ask Sev in the morning, whenever she saw him. The thought depressed her. She focused on fiddling with the tape, the headphones, the batteries, hoping that her music would start.
"It won't work."
Lily looked up at the pale, handsome, slightly snotty face of one of the boys from the train.
"It's Muggle stuff. Won't work at Hogwarts."
Lily recalled dimly the professor who had come to explain to her and her parents about magic and Hogwarts. She had said something about this, but Lily had forgotten in the excitement that Severus had not been lying, that she no longer had to worry about turning her nasty history teacher's hair blue, that she was not a freak.
The boy, who she remembered was called James Potter at the Sorting, was tapping her tape player with his finger.
"What does this do?"
A more objective observer would probably have seen James's comment as simple curiosity, but the tired, lonely eleven-year-old girl was sure she heard condescension in his voice.
"Give it back." She made a grab for it but he held it out of her reach and took out his wand.
"No, what does it do? I'll fix it. I'll make it magic."
"It doesn't want to be magic," she hissed furiously and pushed him. He fell, losing his hold on the tape player. Lily picked it up, flicked her long hair over her shoulder and stormed back up to her dormitory.
The next morning James Potter and his friends snickered as she sat down in a bowl of oatmeal that they had placed on her seat. Her face burned, but she ignored them. In later years, she would be glad that they hadn't yet learned enough magic to make her the target of one of their soon to be famous pranks.
Lily had assumed that the piano in the common room of the Heads' quarters was decorative. It was a week past New Year's when she found out otherwise.
Lily was a night owl, but she had learned early on that James was not. She would come down at half nine to find the Head Boy dead to the world on the sofa while his friends returned to Gryffindor Tower, Sirius complaining loudly that his best friend was such a lightweight.
So she was surprised to hear music coming from the common room at midnight. Looking over the railing, she saw James gently making his way through a Beethoven sonata. Lily had grown up listening to her mother's music students crashing or tinkling their way through various pieces and she could tell that James was good. Not stunning, but definitely solid with the Muggle classics in a way that most wizards she knew wouldn't be. She ignored the oddness that it was James Potter playing and just listened to the music.
He finished the piece and in the silence, she heard a sniff. It struck her as bizarre and impossible. James didn't cry, not even when he fell off his broom and broke half the bones in his body.
She crept down the stairs hoping to see that he was laughing over some joke from one of his mates. But he heard her step and looked up at her, his neck craned at an odd angle. The tears on his face broke her heart. She climbed down the rest of the way and slid in beside him.
She didn't recognize this person who was being nice to James "Toerag" Potter. She had hated him since first year, although she could no longer clearly remember why. But he was crying, something she never thought she'd see, so she rubbed her hand up and down his arm.
"My grandad died."
"I'm so sorry, James." It sounded overly formal, not like something a teenager would say, but James nodded, accepting.
"I just got the owl that he was sick. I didn't even know. They didn't think it was serious enough to tell me. He wasn't even that old, at least not for a wizard." He wiped a hand across his eyes. "He would have hated that, going down in his bed, not fighting anyone, not dying for a purpose. He was a complicated man, my grandad. He used to tell me stories about fighting Grindlewald," James ran a hand over the piano, "But then he would sit down and teach me to play, always classical Muggle music."
"Was he a muggleborn?"
"Yeah, from Canada. He had this bizarre accent and would spend hours tapping the wireless with his wand, trying to get it to play his hockey games."
"Field hockey?"
"Nah, ice hockey. They're mad about it in Canada. Grandad was always trying to explain the rules about skating and hitting a ball with sticks, but it always seemed like they just liked to make each other bleed." He grinned. "It's great."
Lily was glad to see James looking more like himself. Things felt like they were righting themselves. "Is your grandmother still alive?"
His grin grew. "Yeah, Grandmum'll probably outlive us all. Grandad always said she was a pistol. She's got the loudest voice I've ever heard, even louder than Molly Prewett- remember her, a couple years above us?- and they always have her send me Howlers when I need them."
"So nearly every day, then?" The comment had none of her usual bite, just gentle teasing. He looked directly at her and smiled and she suddenly understood why he had the reputation he did. It wasn't that he was attractive. He was too messy and Quidditch player thin to be handsome, but when he smiled, something in her stomach swooped.
"Grandmum calls my hair 'that horrid mop' or 'The Beast.'"
"Sounds like your grandmum and I would agree on a lot of things."
"You should meet her some time." He snapped his mouth shut as he finished but the words had escaped already. For the first time in the encounter, he looked awkward. "I didn't mean-"
"It's alright," she said, but knew that the moment was over. She wondered if there would be more of them and surprised herself by hoping so. Strangely, she liked this James who could be serious and still find humor, who could make fun of himself, who cared for others. For the first time, she didn't question Dumbledore's decision to make James Head Boy.
She stood. "I'm off to bed. Charms first thing tomorrow."
"Not like you couldn't do that half asleep and still get a gold star."
"Well, not without the practice that some of us have."
He smiled again and she backed towards the stairs. "Good night, James."
"Good night, Lily."
As she went to her room and he returned to playing quietly along the keys, she wondered how one night could make them from "Evans and Potter, Mortal Enemies" to "Lily and James, Something Like Friends."
Lily listens to the Beatles while she washes the dishes. She sings along, loudly. James has learned the words and sings a passable tenor alongside Lily's horrible voice.
But that is in the quiet moments between the war that seems to be slowly infecting their whole lives.
Things with Voldemort are getting worse. They've already lost friends- Mary MacDonald, a school friend of Lily's (she cried for days), and Kevin Jenks, a chaser rival of James's- and they cling to the ones they have left.
In their house, just down the road from James's parents, things feel safe. Outside, when they go to fight for the Order, to go to work or even to do some shopping, every moment feels rushed and worried. The two of them escaped Voldemort again last night, apparating out at the last minute. Lily caresses the small bump just now becoming visible against her shirt, and knows it's too dangerous.
When she tells James that she will no longer be going to fight, he looks relieved, like he was putting off asking her to do it.
She doesn't want to stay home, hates it when James comes home bloody and shaken and she has just been pacing around the house. But she needs her baby to be safe, so she curls around her own growing abdomen, waiting.
It hurts a little that Harry looks so much like James. She tries not to feel it, but when she sees them bent together, identical, she feels like yelling, "I was the one who carried you for nine months!"
But then he looks up at her with her own eyes and she thinks, "There I am." Those eyes are laughing now as he tracks a blue puff of smoke shaped like a duck and pokes a finger through it. He chuckles and claps.
"James, don't get him worked up right before bed." She smiles down at them from the doorway.
"I'll put him down, Lil," James promises, looking up at her winningly. He's restless here and she can't blame him.
"No, I'll do it." She wants some time alone with her boy, just a lullaby and a cuddle at the end of the day. She wants to tell him about Hogwarts and his Marauder uncles. She wants to promise that she'll take care of him, fight to the death for him.
She sees the full October moon out the sitting room window and picks one of the stars beside it to wish on. A simple wish for the baby she loves so completely, just that he will grow up safe and happy and loved. In the growing darkness, surrounded by the giggles of her son, Lily closes her eyes and hopes.

The coalition forces allied against ISIS claim they are trying to destroy the jihadist pseudo-state but in reality they are merely hoping to contain it. A policy of total victory utilizing many more troops and a sustained bombing campaign is being advocated for by some hardliners in the United States. Those tactics will almost certainly bring about the downfall of the Islamic State but what comes after remains very much an open question. As political scientist and author Stephen Biddle recently argued in The Atlantic:
"The real problem, however, runs much deeper than just the Islamic State. The war in Iraq and Syria pits a host of groups against one another, many of whom are almost as dangerous to U.S. interests as the Islamic State, and many of whom seek the same status of jihadi vanguard against the West that ISIS now enjoys. ISIS itself achieved this position at the expense of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra, with whom it competes actively for recruits and resources. Even if some U.S.-allied proxy succeeds in conquering the nominal Islamic State capital of Raqqa and pulling down the ISIS flag from its citadel, this is unlikely to end the war, stabilize Syria, or even remove the threat of jihadi terrorism against the United States from Syrian (or Iraqi) soil—it would just open the war to its next phase, in which Islamic State's rivals compete for the status that group had enjoyed before them."
I spoke with Biddle about what options are left in this war here:

For Dinosaur Extinction Theory, A 'Smoking Gun'
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
Published: February 7, 1991
After more than a decade of global searching and spirited debate, geologists say they have found the clearest evidence yet that a massive object from outer space smashed into Earth 65 million years ago, at the time of the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and many other forms of life.
Analysis of tiny glass fragments from Haiti, presumably produced in the extreme heat of an asteroid or comet impact, has encouraged geologists to proclaim the issue all but settled. An extraterrestrial impact, not widespread volcanic eruptions as others have hypthesized, must have left the telltale geochemical traces in 65-million-year-old sediments, the geologists conclude, and so could have caused or at least contributed to the ecological catastrophe at the time.
A team of geologists led by Dr. Haraldur Sigurdsson of the University of Rhode Island is reporting today in the journal Nature that the glass particles are completely free of small crystals and almost free of gas or water, characteristics that virtually ruled out volcanic origin. Their chemical composition also reflected nonvolcanic origin. Significance Is Stressed
In an accompanying commentary, Dr. Jan Smit, a geologist at the Free University in Amsterdam who is a strong proponent of the impact hypothesis, said the new findings were significant because, despite growing circumstantial evidence that a cosmic impact was associated with the extinctions, there was "no 'smoking gun' in the form of a crater or of products formed by an impact."
The glass drops, called tektites, "supply the missing evidence," Dr. Smit said, and "seem to provide the final riposte to the volcanic eruption mechanism."
The new evidence has enabled geologists to fix their sights on the most probable location of ground-zero, the point of impact. They think the impact very likely occurred in the area of the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea, probably on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. A crater there long since covered by sediment may be the place where the object hit and scattered glassy debris at least as far as Haiti.
But other geologists and many paleontologists complain that proponents of the impact hypothesis are jumping to unwarranted conclusions. Opponents Unconvinced
"I concede them no victory whatsoever," Dr. Charles B. Officer, a geologist at Dartmouth College and a leading advocate of the volcanic hypothesis, said yesterday in an interview.
Like many paleontologists, Dr. Robert Bakker of the University of Colorado Museum in Boulder said the evidence might favor an impact by an asteroid or comet at the end of the Cretaceous period of geologic time, when the mass extinction occurred, but it has not been proved that this was primarily responsible for the extinctions.
"I'm still an agnostic about the cosmic event being so decisive," Dr. Bakker said in an interview. "There could have been an impact, but the terrestrial victim profile is totally wrong. If the extinctions were instantaneous, from acid rain and global cooling due to a dust cloud, then the frogs and salamanders in the tropics should have been the first to die off. They survived, and so did the tropical and temperature turtles. The least vulnerable should have been the big land animals, but they were the hardest hit."
The idea that an asteroid impact could have killed off the dinosuars followed the discovery of an unusual abundance of the rare element iridium in sediments deposited worldwide at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago. The iridium, more common in meteorites, was found in clay that was virtually free of fossils and marked the boundary between the last dinosaurs of the Cretaceous and the proliferation of mammals in the Tertiary period that followed.
The first discovery was made in 1978 by Dr. Walter Alvarez, a geologist at the University of California at Berkeley. He and his father, Dr. Luis Alvarez, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Berkeley, deduced that the iridium was the residue of an impacting asteroid that created a worldwide cloud of dust that blocked out sunlight, causing temperatures to plummet and more than half the Earth's species to die off. Geologists Search for Crater
Strong support for the impact hypothesis came when geologists began finding glassy particles that appeared to have been formed in the heat of impact, and minerals of that time that seemed to have been shattered by such an impact. The distribution of such clues suggested that the impact, if indeed there was one, had occurred somewhere in the Americas. But where was the crater?
Several prospects have been examined and rejected. Another site, underwater off the coast of Colombia, is being investigated.
Dr. Sigurdsson's team, which included other scientists from the universities of Rhode Island, North Carolina, Michigan and Florida, found that the chemical composition of the glass found at Beloc, Haiti, suggests the melting of continental crustal rocks and limestone sediments. The large size of the fragments and their occurrence in a relatively thick deposit may indicate "close proximity of this outcrop to the source region," the researchers wrote.
Scientists from the University of Arizona and Intera Technologies Inc., an oil exploration company in Houston, have identified a buried crater near Merida, Yucatan, that is more than 100 miles wide, extending out under the Gulf of Mexico.

Who needs Merge when you can pick up hot, DTF chicks (that don't charge by the hour) in dark parking lots? That's exactly what Vinny was thinking on tonight's "Jersey Shore," when TWO golden tickets magically fell from the sky and landed smack dab in the middle of his lap. Thank you, Canada! That's right, it was a pair of eager canucks that appeared to Vinny "like a diamond in the rough," "Jersey Shore Hook-up" host Kenny Santucci muses in the clip below in response to Vin waxing poetic about the discovery: "I swear to God, I seen this girl's silhouette…I seen her fat ass right in front of the house."
Sadly, Murphy's law quickly went into effect as soon as Vinny lured the girls inside. Jenni and Roger had uncharacteristically taken over the Smush Room (to do "dinosaur sex," Snooki calls it), which meant that Vin's impending ménage à trois had no other place to land but his twin bed…inside a room with two other dudes pretending to sleep. Inevitably, one of the ladies got fed up with the frat house vibe and bolted, but don't you cry for Vinny. Watch the video and you'll find that he's now in a committed relationship with the woman he almostmanaged to save himself for.

With just about a couple of weeks to go before the new Bond saga, Spectre, is shot in Rome by director Sam Mendes (best known for American Beauty and an earlier Bond thriller, Skyfall), the city -- which, as the legend says, was built by the Wolf children, Romulus and Remus -- is garbage-ridden and graffiti- splattered.
What a contrast to the picture-postcard imagery of Rome with its majestically tall structures which seem to disappear into the clouds, its ornate squares and lush gardens!
If Mendes and his men had imagined getting the dashing Bond in Saville Row suits to chase villains through the grand streets of Rome, the production team could be sorely disillusioned.
A number of sequences are to be filmed in Rome, and these include night-time car chases through historic centres and on the famous Corso Vittorio Emanuele II thoroughfare. Also, there is a much-talked about parachute drop of 007 from a helicopter on the 15th-century Ponte Sisto Bridge.
The Bridge has been in a state of dilapidation with garbage strewn all over, while the neighbouring Tiber Farnesia Street – scene of the car chase – looks equally pathetic.
Spectre will have Daniel Craig returning on his fourth outing as the secret agent, and Mendes will be directing him the second time. Double Oscar clincher Christoph Waltz, French star Léa Seydoux and Italy's Monica Bellucci will essay important roles.
Spectre will open in the UK on October 23 and in the US on November 6.

Beacon Community Program to fund digital health record adoption in 15 communities
The Health and Human Services Department is starting a new grant program to distribute $235 million to communities that can serve as models for use of electronic health records (EHRs).
Through the Beacon Communites Program, HHS will be awarding $220 million to 15 communities that have demonstrated high levels of digital health record usage, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said today in a news release. Another $15 million will go for technical assistance and independent evaluation services to those areas.
"These communities are best-positioned to lead the way in accomplishing meaningful use of electronic health record systems, and to provide valuable lessons to other localities on the preferred approaches to elevating the performance of local health systems using health [information technology]," David Blumenthal, HHS' Health IT National Coordinator said.
The grants will pay for building and strengthening health IT infrastructures and health information exchange, including privacy and security measures. The goal is to use digital records to improve health care quality and efficiency while reducing costs.
HHS officials said applications for the Beacon Communities Program grants will be available in the near future. The program is funded under the economic stimulus law.
In a related effort to advance health IT, the stimulus law provided $20 billion in incentives to providers who purchase and "meaningfully use" certified EHR systems. HHS is preparing rulemaking by year's end to specify standards for the certifications and meaningful use, along with privacy and security rules and quality measurements.

New Hampshire state rules for solar are about to change—lock in favorable rates now!
It's a hot day in New England, with temperatures as I write over 90°F. Air conditioners are running hard, and the regional grid is at full tilt.
To supply the needed electricity, utilities and independent power producers are turning on their "peaker" power plants—facilities that sit idle most of the time, and only get used during periods of high demand. These power plants are extremely expensive, and when they are called into action regional spot-market wholesale electricity prices skyrocket.
I checked the wholesale prices five minutes ago. The screen grab below shows that the current price is over 87 cents per kWh!
(Source: ISO-NE. It shows prices in dollars per MWh. There are 1,000 kWhs in each MWh, so divide the cost shown by 1,000 to get the cost per kWh.)
That's what the utilities are paying right now for the extra energy they need. So while they pay over 87 cents/kWh, they sell it to us at between 10 and 20 cents/kWh, depending on the utility and the rate plan. In other words, at a time like this, utilities are losing money hand over fist. And they will need to make it back up the rest of the year.
If utilities can buy less of this super-expensive power, then rates all year round can stay lower. Alongside efficiency and conservation (if you have A/C, turn your thermostat up a few degrees!), one of the best ways to avoid this high-cost power is with solar. Here's a screen grab of solar production from one of our customer's trackers, taken a few minutes before the cost image above.
This is typical of days with high-cost electricity. Electricity is expensive right now because it's a hot day and so much is being used for air conditioning. It's a hot day because it is summer and sunny. What do solar panels do on sunny days? They make electricity! So this tracker—and all the other Solaflect trackers out there—are producing lots of electricity at a far, far lower cost than grid wholesale. Every kWh coming out of the trackers is a kWh that the utilities don't have to get from the wholesale spot market. That saves the utility a lot of money, and helps keep all of our rates low.
This Solaflect customer is both saving money for directly with their solar production, and helping their neighbors save money in the long run by keeping rates lower. You can do the same.
UPDATE: ten minutes after writing the above, New England wholesale electricity has gone up above $1 per kWh!
UPDATE #2. I checked in again at 5:30 pm. The cost for spot market electricity has been over $1 per kWh for about two and a half hours, so far. At shortly before 3 pm, it peaked out at a whopping $2.69 per kWh!
Governor Hassan signed the net-metering cap increase bill into law on Monday, May 2. Customers of Eversource, Liberty Utility, and Unitil can once again go solar. (Those with New Hampshire Electric Coop were not limited by the state's previous cap, and continue to be able to go solar.)
The new limit on net metering is supposed to provide enough capacity for those who want to go solar this year. However, as happened in both NH and Vermont last year, the available cap easily could be hit sooner than expected. In other words, if you put off your decision to go solar until late in the year, you may find yourself out of luck and prevented from doing so by the new limit. Don't delay! Contact us for a site visit today.
If you are in New Hampshire with Liberty, Eversource (formerly PSNH) or Unitil as your utility and have been waiting to go solar, you don't need to wait hardly any longer. A friend in Concord writes, "The House just passed HB 1116 to expand net metering and to transfer regulation of the solar energy contribution to our state's energy resources to the PUC. It was a strong voice vote. The same language has now been passed in the House and the Senate. Soon the House bill or the Senate bill will be passed through both houses and go to the governor for signing."
You can track the bill's status here, and read the text here.
Net metering in Vermont faces major challenges. If you care about the future of distributed, renewable energy in Vermont, please read on.
Vermont law (Act 99) requires net metering regulations to be revised as of January 1, 2017. The state's Public Service Board (PSB) is charged with establishing these regulations. The PSB has released its draft of the new regulations. See http://psb.vermont.gov/statutesrulesandguidelines/proposedrules/rule5100 for the draft document and other details.
While subject to change between now and implementation, as written the draft regulations contain numerous problems. First and foremost is that the value of net metering for Vermonters will be significantly reduced once the new regulations go into effect in 2017. The silver lining is that the draft regulations grandfather current net metering values for any tracker installed in 2016. Additionally, the draft regulations hugely undermine the development of community solar. I'll address that further down. Read more
We are part of change rapidly progressing across the world, as seen in a sample of the news from just the past day:
NPR: China Plans To Create A Nationwide Carbon Market By 2017
Christian Science Monitor: What a Rwandan solar plant is teaching Africa about clean energy
The Guardian: Most of Britain's major cities pledge to run on green energy by 2050
The solar energy rules are about to change – much sooner than previously expected. We've put together this brief "Solar 101: What you need to know IMMEDIATELY" so as not to miss this brief window to save thousands of dollars in solar incentives. A fuller explanation is below the bullet points.

Carbon emissions fall in 11 of G20 members, in turning point
Greenhouse gas emissions per capita are falling in 11 of the Group of 20 major economies, a turning point for tackling climate change, a study showed on Tuesday.
The report, by a new organization of scientists and other experts called Climate Transparency, also said 15 of the G20 members has seen strong growth in renewable energy in recent years.
"Climate action by the G20 has reached a turning point, with per capita emissions falling in 11 members, and renewable energy growing strongly," the group said in a statement. The G20 accounts for about three-quarters of world greenhouse gases.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are an accounting mechanism to make it possible to keep track of responsibility for bringing renewable energy to the grid. When one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity is generated from a renewable energy facility that is registered with the grid operator, a REC is issued to represent the renewable aspect of that energy.
Electricity on the grid is identical, whether it comes from a solar array or a coal-fired power plant. But we all know that energy from the sun has a different impact on the world than energy from burning coal. The REC represents that difference. It represents the reduction in soot, mercury, smog, acid rain, radiation, and carbon dioxide that we get from solar (or other renewable) energy as compared to traditional sources. Because we want a cleaner, healthier world, there is social value in the difference represented by the REC. Read more

Dear Paul F. Tompkins, Please Come to Dallas
Apparently, somebody -- make that quite a few somebodies -- wants VH1 talking head and master of the bizarre tweet, Paul F. Tompkins, to come to Dallas. So much so there's a Facebook group specifically for that purpose. Just today I've gotten three e-mails and two suggestions to join the group, started by Shannon Albert, and support the mass persuasion efforts to get Tompkins' comedic ass to Big D.
What gives? Why a Facebook page and not just traditional letters of longing, lust and begging? Well, the page reads: "Paul F. Tompkins has said if a city gets up to 300 people that he'll come to that city to perform. Let's find 300 North Texas fans and get PFT to Dallas!" That's pretty clear, I suppose. And based on a recent tweet, it appears that Tompkins is aware of the demand: "Dallas the American city! I would like to meet you."
So far, 110 members. Wait, make it 111. I couldn't help myself.

I checked and checked then I asked and asked again on when will the chicks arrive, no one never had an answer then Saturday afternoon I'm pasts by the store and see a bunch of cars and a sign saying chicks are here, so I go in and guess what, I'm disappointed again no chicks all sold out. So now I start with the questions again, when are the chicks coming in, and again lack of communication and mixed answers, maybe today could be tomorrow might be Wednesday, just call us everyday.... Who does business like this. I only want 10 chicks, and you can't do a order unless you get 25 or more...

Photo Tip:
I've gotten some great questions from several of you about how to take certain pictures or how achieve a particular effect. And many of you are interested in how to take pictures indoors, without a flash. SO here are some tips on taking indoor pictures...
1- turn off all of the overhead lights as it will make for a funky color situation. Only rely on light coming from the windows. see examples below.
photo taken with the overhead light on causing an orange hue.
The lights were turned off using only the light coming in from the window behind me.
2- If it's nighttime, there are no windows or it's just plain cloudy and dreary outside then of course keep the overhead lights on but make sure your white balance is set on incandescent or fluorescent lighting. Or if you use a manual white balance put the number very low such as 2700K.
3- Use a lens with a very low aperture (f/1.4, 1.8 ...) in order to let in as much as possible.
4- If needed, (as in you are not getting a fast enough shutter speed even though your aperture is very low) start to increase your ISO until you gain a sufficient shutter speed.
5- If all else fails, try to hold VERY STILL while you take the picture to reduce camera shake causing blurriness.
And a few more pics just to finish it off!

Impact of social value orientation on energy conservation in different behavioral domains
- This study was funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) and constitutes a part of the Energy Policy Fundamentals research program.
Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Bernadette Sütterlin, Institute for Environmental Decisions (IED), Consumer Behavior, ETH Zurich, Universitaetstrasse 22, CHN J 75.3, CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland. E-mail: email@example.com
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social value orientation and energy conservation over different energy consumption domains. Additionally, the impact of type of energy conservation measure (curtailment vs. energy efficiency) was investigated. Data were derived from a mail survey of Swiss households (N = 1,209). It was expected that social value orientation and type of conservation measure affect conservation behavior. Confirming our hypotheses, prosocials reported more energy conservation—in the housing, mobility, and food domain—compared with individualists and competitors. As assumed, the difference in energy conservation between the three social value orientations was found for curtailment behaviors, but not for energy efficiency behaviors requiring no change in habits. Results and implications are discussed.

The powerful motivation of a before shot
At the beginning of January, I did something I had never done before. I put on my workout clothes. I stood awkwardly in front of a blank wall, and I asked my daughter to take a photo of me. It was weird. I don't love having my photo taken in general. But when I do, I make sure to at least wear a cute outfit. My tightest workout clothes definitely don't qualify as cute! But more than that, it was scary. Taking that "before" shot was a vulnerable moment for me, not just because I hope no one stumbles across... Read More
