TORONTO — Former Sportsnet broadcaster Gregg Zaun is apologizing for "any harm or distress" his comments may have caused his female colleagues.
The "absolute apology" — issued today by his Toronto-based lawyer Stuart Ducoffe — comes four days after he was fired for what Sportsnet called "inappropriate behaviour and comments."
Sportsnet says it received complaints about Zaun's behaviour from female employees.
Zaun says he has done a lot of "soul searching" and accepts responsibility for "the harm caused by my language."
Zaun's dismissal comes at a time when allegations of sexual harassment are widespread in the film industry, politics and the newsroom with prominent figures such as producer Harvey Weinstein, broadcaster Charlie Rose and "Today" show host Matt Lauer among those accused.
The former Toronto Blue Jays catcher began a part-time broadcasting career with Sportsnet following the 2006 season. He initially signed a two-year deal as a MLB studio analyst with Sportsnet in 2011 and continued working with the network until his termination.
Without any exception whatsoever, I want to issue an absolute apology for any harm or distress which may have been caused by my comments with any female colleagues over the recent past. It has never been my intention to give offense to anyone.
I have done a lot of soul searching over the last few days and know that my ignorance of the harm caused by my language does not excuse it – for which I accept responsibility. While I am well recognized for my unfiltered criticism of others within the sports world, which has made many critics and enemies – in ignorance I allowed a similar attitude to influence all aspects of my lifestyle, causing distress for female colleagues.
For more than ten years now, I have had the privilege of working with the most amazing and talented people and I am agonized to learn that they were affected negatively by me. I apologize deeply to all my colleagues and friends for any offense. I cherish and am proud of our achievements working together.
In the past, when brought to my attention that I demonstrated poor judgement or language and gave offence, I sought to change my behaviour and apologize for any hurt caused. My remorse in the activities drawn to my attention by Rogers this week affecting unnamed individuals, is that it was never raised before and I naively believed that my language and behaviour were not considered offensive. I regret my blindness to the impact of my actions that I would have corrected at the time, rather than allowing the harm felt to continue to fester.
I have been blindsided and emotionally gutted by the allegations and will continue to be regretful.
As I look to the future, I am fortunate enough to be surrounded and supported by family, close friends, and colleagues on whom I will continue to rely and thank for their support.

You don't have to hold a doctorate to visit Göttingen, but it could come in handy in a city that seems to pulsate with a thirst for knowledge, and that is dominated by students and academic life more than anywhere else in Germany. A total of 44 Nobel laureates are associated with Göttingen. Some were born in the town, others came here to study, teach or carry out research.
The university, with its neo-classical main building in the city centre, dominates the townscape and is a source of local pride. It was founded in 1737 by Elector Georg II of Hannover, perhaps better known as King George II of Great Britain. Throughout the city there are memorial plaques in white marble that commemorate more than 300 of Göttingen's celebrated scholars – a journey through Europe's intellectual history. The old quarter, surrounded by medieval ramparts, contains a number of historical buildings. It also features the city's emblem in the form of the Goose Girl, an art nouveau figure located in front of the Old Town Hall. This lowly girl herding her geese is the darling of the doctoral students. By tradition, they have to kiss the statue on the cheek when they receive their degree, making her the most-kissed girl in the world – or at least in Göttingen.
Besides a rich intellectual life, Göttingen also offers culture of the highest degree. Favourites on the cultural calendar include the International Händel Festival in early summer and the Dance & Culture Festival in the autumn. Then there's the brand-new Clavier Salon, where acclaimed young international musicians appear in solo and chamber concerts. Since 1978, Göttingen Jazz Festival has been taking place in the first weekend of November, and 2006 saw the city celebrate its first Indoor Old Town Festival. And local bands give it their all nearly every night at Nörgelbuff – Göttingen's most popular live music venue. In the autumn, the focus shifts to literature. Since 1992, the ten-day Göttingen Literature Festival has been held every autumn at the Old Town Hall and the German Theatre. Göttingen also hosts other literary events throughout the year, featuring not only writers but also artists from related spheres. You'll soon discover that there's always something going on in Göttingen. Those looking for something a bit quieter, however, can visit the ethnological collection or any of the city's other major museums. Wherever your visit takes you, one thing's for certain: Göttingen is the place to be, with or without a PhD.

knock (one's) head against a/the wall
To attempt continuously and fruitlessly to accomplish some task or achieve some goal that is or seems ultimately hopeless. I feel like I've been knocking my head against the wall trying to understand this math equation. Some people are never going to agree with you on this, so it's no use knocking your head against a wall trying to convince everyone.

Clash of Clans is one of the most successful video games of all time. So, as you can probably guess, it has clones. Lots of clones.
Reddit user sonuvagun06 took some grabs of various App Store games. You'll notice first that Clash of Clans'success has generated...competition. And not only is Clash of Clans getting ripped off, but there are "tributes" to Borderlands, Portal and Team Fortress as well.
Suggestion, lazy devs: stop ripping off Clash of Clans and start ripping off Civilization instead. The lack of a proper Civ game on the App Store is killing me.

SEROUS RETINAL DETACHMENT(4 year old German Shepherd)
Acute blindness had been present 24 hours prior to presentation. A mild conjunctival hyperemia and aqueous flare were present in both eyes. Both pupils were dilated and each had a poor PLR. This photograph through a 28 diopter lens shows a swollen optic disc and dilated retinal vessels that go in and out of focus. The retina is elevated due to subretinal fluid. Vision returned following treatment of this presumed immune mediated disease.

Hey all,
The Arte em Peças is currently underway in Portugal. I looks like there are some great displays. If you're in that part of the world, public displays continue today and tomorrow (June 8 and 9). Anyway, here's a gallery from Rupi with setup photos. In addition to a walled medieval city, dominated by Romas' cathedral, there's a big pirate layout, a microscale WWII naval battle, a big modern city, space display etc.

Further Consideration of the Islamic Message
In the same way that God's creation has placed a particular kind of material life within the reach of mankind and has not discriminated among men but has equipped each of them with equal means, it has also placed the spiritual life, which is hidden behind the veil of material life, within the reach of all men.
And in the same way that the perfection of the material life of man lies in the manifestation and actualization of all his positive and negative actions and deeds-which he performs by means of his body-so also creation has extended the perfection of the spiritual life to include all of those actions and deeds.
In harmony with creation, Islam has considered the spiritual life to belong to all men and has made no distinction between them, and likewise it has extended the spiritual life to all the positive and negative aspects of men's lives. It invites men to accept the ties of social life and to act in a positive manner in traversing a determined path. In teaching this way it has had recourse to indications enclosed in the covering of normal and every-day expressions.
This is because our verbal formulations are in case born of the thoughts of the generality of men. We use them in our social and material life in order to facilitate mutual understanding, and by means of them we exchange thoughts and mental concepts. Now mystical and contemplative comprehension, which is rarer than the elixir of life and which throughout history has never found general acceptance, is something completely different from normal human expression.
The person who wants to formulate into concepts the knowledge gained through intuitive and mystical comprehension is like the person who tries to describe by means of words the colors of the rainbow to one blind from birth. And the person who puts contemplative and mystical insights into the mold of words is exactly like the person who carries water from place to place with a sieve.
It is for this reason that Islam has had recourse to symbols and intimations in expressing mystical truths, and has thus remained untouched by the misfortunes which have overtaken other religions.

50%fundraising.com brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 77 Designs von 27 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
POPCORN FROM MARS is a wholesaler and retailer of the best gourmet popcorn on Planet Earth. Our look is futuristic and would like a logo that compliments this and can use on our website, business cards, clothing, marketing materials, advertisement media, store fronts, and product packaging.
Popcorn From Mars
We are a new gourmet popcorn company with a Futuristic look and feel. So, the logo must not be stuffy or corporate, but rather clean, readable, sleek, fun, unique, and creative. We would like the logo to have a white background; no black or space backgrounds.
We also would like the name POPCORN FROM MARS to be part of the logo. Not too many colors, maybe two (2). Show us the word "MARS" in red and the words "POPCORN FROM" another color. Let's see some variations on the colors for "Popcorn from." Please no black letters. The second color I will leave up to your imagination but it must be complimentary. (not blue because it would look too patriotic, i.e. red, white & blue.)
I would also like to see how the logo would look on our bags like these:

An abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia) is any variation in the normal
heartbeat. Abnormal heartbeats occur when the heart has an irregular heart
rhythm, beats too fast (tachycardia), or beats too slow (bradycardia).
The electrical system of the heart creates signals that trigger the
heart to pump. These electrical signals control the heart rate and rhythm.
Normally, the heart beats in a regular rhythm and at a rate that is appropriate
for the work the body is doing. An arrhythmia results from a problem in the
electrical system of the heart. Things that can cause the heart to beat
abnormally include heavy smoking, alcohol use, excess caffeine or other
stimulants, stress, thyroid disease, and fever.
Many arrhythmias are minor, causing only occasional abnormal
heartbeats and requiring no treatment. Others, such as atrial fibrillation, can
be life-threatening because they increase the risk of blood clots and strokes.
Arrhythmias are of special concern in people who also have heart disease or
heart failure. Some arrhythmias can be treated with medicine. Others may
require an electrical shock (cardioversion), surgery, or a pacemaker.

Traveler #1: Harry T. Reynolds, III
Harry has just received a fabulous, well-deserved promotion to a highly placed position in Italy. He will to need comprehensive, sophisticated, complete, polished communications skills to hit the ground running. Speaking Italian at the typical pace with an unobtrusive accent will, of course, be basic. Understanding the language when spoken at both a normal and fast pace could be critical.
Writing a cogent business letter with a command of spelling, idiomatic expressions and a clear grasp of the use of subtleties such as subjunctive case and familiar and formal terms of address can either seal or kill a deal. And reading is a must to put him in touch with his surroundings. What did that newspaper say about our company yesterday? What does that sign mean?
This is a tall order. Here's how TOTALe meets it.
Learning a language the Rosetta Stone TOTALe way is probably the closest thing there is to being there because TOTALe is on-line and, therefore, accessible to you 24/7, wherever you are.
Harry will have complete flexibility over the time, place, and frequency of his Italian lessons without sacrificing conversation skills practice. He can study at home, after the children have gone to bed, get into the office early and log on before the hubbub begins.
He can even practice off-line on a plane. Harry will create his own tailor-made immersion program including live, interactive conversations with native speakers, ingenious group games and even a language learning exchange with a native speaker who wants to learn English.
When he arrives in Italy, he'll be ready. Bravo!
Traveler #2: Patricia Simms
That, of course, is me. My reasons for taking Italian were far lower key than Harry's. Unlike our high-power businessman above, my career success did not hang in the balance if I didn't master Italian. My reasons could hardly have been more different (I'll get to them in a minute) but TOTALe is flexible enough so that I could create my own tailor-made immersion program, too, even though my goals and drive were entirely different.
For starters, we were planning a vacation to Florence, Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance, soon. I speak French and assumed that the better I could speak Italian, the more it would enhance our trip. (Wow, was I ever right!) And since I already speak French, I thought it would be easy. (Wow, was I ever wrong!) We arrived in Italy just in time to experience the confusion created by the volcanic ash storm from Iceland. Speaking Italian was invaluable!
When we returned from that wonderful trip, I was still drawn to continue my Italian lessons. The methodology is so charming, elegant and ingenious, I wanted to continue. Why? I am an instructional designer and was absolutely fascinated by the methodology. Even though I found it much more difficult than I expected, when I concentrated and really worked at it, I learned plenty.
I also learned more about myself. I really was not and would not become the serious, all encompassing student of Italian that Harry needed to be. I really just wanted to learn some conversational Italian.
And Rosetta Stone had a provision for that, too. I just turned off reading and writing and writing and moved on.
What did I move on to? Learning Italian was a rich cultural experience that has opened many doors for me in little and big ways. One big way is my understanding and appreciation of Renaissance art and the natural beauty of Italy. One little way is intellectual curiosity about all things Italian. For example, Chicago's Art Institute just added a magnificent Modern Wing designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano. The new restaurant on the third floor of the Modern Wing is called Terzo Piano. Before I studied Italian I thought it had something to do with Renzo's last name. Now I'm in on the little linguist joke: Terzo Piano means "third floor."
I saved the biggest, best, most surprising and possibly most important for last. I hope you've read this far. I'm a baby boomer with a new-fangled profession, a Brain Fitness Coach. I help seniors with a fascinating, scientifically-proven computer program from Posit Science. In addition, I encourage my student/friends (we're ALL in this together), to make life style changes that will complement and enhance their efforts. Because it requires such concentration, the study of a foreign language is nearly universally considered to be an excellent brain exercise. I'm proof. I took the program before I took Italian. When I went back for maintenance, I was much better than I had been. I was astonished and so grateful. Thank you, Rosetta Stone!
What kind of traveler are you? I say even if you're an armchair traveler, the satisfaction and benefits make it a worthy investment of your time. Not incidentally, it would make a terrific, unique holiday gift to yourself or someone else.

Emmanuel Mudiay Turns Pro: What It Means For SMUPosted by Mike Lemaire on July 15th, 2014
Six months of commendation for SMU coach Larry Brown and optimism about the Mustangs' 2014-15 season went out the window yesterday morning when superstar recruit Emmanuel Mudiay somewhat surprisingly made it known that he would be pursuing a professional career overseas instead of heading to campus next season.
For Mudiay, the decision makes sense on a number of levels. Although he claims that the decision is motivated by financial issues rather than eligibility concerns, there are plenty of pundits who wonder whether Mudiay would have been allowed to play as a collegian at all. Speculation aside, a financial motive is a legitimate one. Mudiay can make a lot of money playing professionally, even for one season — certainly more than he would have seen while suiting up as a freshman for the Mustangs. And while he may struggle to adjust to the professional ranks in a different country, he will still likely end up as a lottery pick based on his upside alone, so why not earn a very large paycheck in between? There aren't many players who have an opportunity like this, especially American high school players, so it's hard to find fault in Mudiay's logic.

Beautiful and functional!. . . . .
My mother sent me these goblets as a Christmas gift, and we now want to order another set or two so that we have enough to use with company! They are really exquisite and unique, and all slightly different--which makes them particularly suited for entertaining, because you can tell the glasses apart! I'm glad to support these artisans and glad to use their beautiful creations!
Gorgeous piece of work!. . . . .
I bought a set of these goblets to match the Phoenician carafe that was purchased previously. They will look so lovely together. I am amazed at the handiwork of these artisans and am happy to support the ongoing tradition of this glass-blowing technique.
Function & Form: A Radiant Piece of Art. . . . .
I thought about this goblet for months before actually purchasing it- every time I saw one in a store, I marveled at it's glasswork and how the light plays on it from within. It's really a functional work of art. So, I went ahead and purchased it. Every time I use it- at least one meal a day- I feel like royalty for a meal in my humble apartment. We ought all to have our radiant fairly traded goblets to hold. Good job, Hebron Glass & Ceramic Factory, good job.

He's been trying to get this off the ground for years now, but last week PayPal founder Peter Thiel took one step closer to his dream of building an aquatic utopia populated solely by rich/smart/weird folks "who wish to demonstrate new ways of living together". So, yeah, Rapture.
And we all know how well that worked.
Thiel's Seasteading Institute ran an IndieGogo campaign that closed last Friday, raising funds for a design for their planned floating city, which would be parked somewhere off the coast of San Francisco.
Before you get too concerned, this is a long way from getting done. Like, it'll never happen. The amount of money they'd need to build something like this is astronomical - it's why floating cities don't, you know, already exist somewhere - and crowdsourcing campaigns coupled with diplomacy aren't going to get anywhere near the needed amount.

Billy Ray Tweets His Reaction To Miley's Bong Video: 'I'm So Sad'
Almost an entire day after video leaked online of Miley Cyrus smoking out of a bong, Billy Ray takes to his Twitter to express his disappointment and sadness — and says he didn't know
Billy Ray Cyrus, 49, is not a proud papa. The country music star who, along with the rest of the world, watched his daughter, 18-year-old Miley Cyrus take a bong rip of Salvia on a homemade video, shot five days after her Nov. 23 birthday, expressed a sincere apology via his Twitter account for being unaware of his daughter's outlandish actions.
"Sorry guys. I had no idea. Just saw this stuff for the first time myself. Im so sad. There is much beyond my control right now," he tweeted.
It's no secret Miley has always gotten her way being a daddy's girl, but her smoking experimentation is a big wake-up call that things need to change. Her behavior has continually gotten worse. In an effort to connect with an older audience, she has done everything from dressing provocatively to dating older guys, while ramping up the maturity of her music to rid herself of her good-girl Disney persona.
The Cyrus family, who were firmly planted in Hollywood's golden spotlight as a perfect celebrity family, was recently knocked off their pedestal. News that Billy Ray and wife, Tish Cyrus were ending their 17-year marriage due to rumored infidelity on Tish's part with Poison lead singer and reality show star, Bret Michaels, sent shock waves though Hollywood.
Her troubled family life has pushed Miley to new extremes and her bong smoking video is clear cut evidence that she is not receiving the parental guidance and attention she so desperately needs.
Maybe now Billy Ray and Tish will open their eyes and help their daughter before it's too late.

Winner of The World's Best Bar at the 2011, Employees Only ("EO") - Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards - took over New Orleans' One Eyed Jacks for one night of debauchery during the 10th Anniversary of Tales of the Cocktail.
It was for one night only that the gang behind this internationally renowned bar recreated the EO experience and brought to life our favorite West Village haven.
From the delicious cocktails and risqué party favors to the NASTY Bar upstairs it was an evening to remember.
Our favorite moments of the night were: The EO Tattoo Parlor: Over 36 industry professionals received n EO tattoo ( one girl got two!) which guarantees them a free first drink for life at the New York establishment and not to mention a badass looking tat!
Calamity Chang: EO flew down the illustrious sexy Calamity for an exciting and sultry cabaret show - bringing her NY style to the historical streets of the French Quarter.
NASTY Bar: When or where else would you get all the owners of EO behind the stick for one night? Billy Gilroy, Henry LaFargue, Jason Kosmas, Dushan Zaric and Igor Hadzismajlovic served up their favorite shots to close friends all night long.
Henry leading the funeral procession: As a New Orleans native, this night meant more to Henry than anything else. It was his chance to bring his two homes together. He led the funeral procession with a heaping pot of Chef Julia Jaksic's signature Chicken Soup - which if you happen to be at EO after 4 am - guests are served a complementary bowl of this soul-warming stew before heading home.
The EO team was humbled to be a part of this great cocktail festival and hope this night was their chance to give back to all those in the industry who supported them and a night to honor the staff and the entire spirits community as a whole.
It was an unforgettable evening (although I am sure for few it might be blurry) and an event that will go down in Tales History!

Extreme Luxury Homes For Sale in SandtonVilla for Sale in Goa
Long before Isprava was interested in property in Goa, we were interested in Goa. Goa has been the backdrop for countless memories, stories and celebrations for almost all of us. Popularized by travelling Europeans and hippies in the 60s and glamourized by the rich and famous of today, Goa has something for everyone.
Finding Fanny
A new age romance, Finding Fanny is set in traditional Goa among catholic characters and lots of floral print dresses. The movie follows the journey of five oddball friends who are looking for 'Fanny', Naseerudin Shah's love interest. The movie is set in a sleepy Goan village and really brings to life the vibrancy and tranquility of Goa. The director actually stayed in a Goan village for a month and that's where he got the inspiration for the movie.
Released in 1985, Trikal was selected for the Indian Film Retrospective is Lisbon in 1986 and invited to the London Film Festival in that same year. The movie studies the lives of a Christian family in Goa during the shift of the Portuguese to Indian administration. A fast-paced comedy, Trikal shows us the handover from the Portuguese to Indians through the Souza Soares family and is loosely inspired by cartoonist Mario Miranda's family.
Go Goa Gone
Go Goa Gone shows us another side of Goa that remains popular with many visitors. Although a zombie flick, this comedy also touches upon the Russian influence of Goa, drug use and irreverent appeal of Goa. Saif Ali Khan thoroughly entertains as madcap, Russian Mafioso Boris and shows us some spectacular scenes of Goa.
We can't share which movie the house we saw for sale was from however let it be known that no matter where you are in Goa, chances are that location has been scouted and possibly even showcased in a film like one of these three! What's your favourite Bollywood representation of Goa?
Canturion Property for Sale
Despite the hype that surrounds the idea of holding an open house, Boca Raton houses for sale are vastly underrepresented in that particular area.
According to the MLS, within the next seven days there are 23 open houses scheduled in Boca Raton. That's out of 2,709 current properties for sale.
That means fewer than 1% of homes for sale hold themselves open. So for prospective sellers of homes in Boca– or anywhere else — who are wondering if holding an open house is a vital part of the sales process, the answer appears to be a resounding, "Probably not."
Open houses used to be an important sales tool
Once upon a time in the land of real estate, open houses were considered an essential selling tool. People came from miles around to visit homes for sale because there was no other way to see what was inside.
The listing broker and the mortgage broker used the occasion to meet people and add to their customer lists. And sometimes they were even able to sell the house to one of those visitors.
Today, however, the Internet has obviated the need for open houses. Why drive 30 miles to visit a property that you can look at while sitting around in your underwear at home?
Nonetheless, if you are planning to run an open house — or if you're just planning to sell your home — here are 8 suggestions that will improve the open house experience of those who attend. They'll also help your Boca Raton real estate agent to acquire some additional customers.
Clean up your kitchen.
As we all know, the kitchen is the showplace of a home. It's the first and last place buyers look. But they don't just look at the kitchen. They look in the kitchen. Everywhere. Cabinets, drawers, oven, and even in the refrigerator.
Remember, they will be buying those appliances, as well as the cabinets, sinks, and counter tops.
So make sure all of these places look (and smell) as clean as is humanly possible. A gross kitchen is a huge turn-off.
Clean up your bathrooms
You have to clean the sinks and the showers and the bathtubs and the toilets. You also need to vacuum up the stray hairs on the floor that we all leave behind.
Sure you're only human, but not when you're trying to sell your home. That's when you're forced to become a lean, mean, cleaning machine.
So remove your bath towels and put out fresh hand towels every day. First, because the appearance of clean, fluffy towels is more appealing. And second, because many of the people coming through your house will use your bathrooms. Unless you want to use the same towels they do, change them each day.
Clean out your medicine cabinets.
Doesn't anyone respect privacy anymore? No, especially not when your house is for sale. So take anything that is private out of your medicine cabinets and your bathroom drawers. Your medical information is displayed on our prescriptions and identity theft is an unfortunate fact of life today. Don't make it easy for someone to make your life much harder. Put your medications away somewhere safe.
Remove any valuables
You may keep your jewelry in the dresser so that it's handy for your own use. But you don't want it handy for the occasional light-fingered visitor who may see your open house as an opportunity to enhance their own collection.
Similarly, if you have collectibles that are small and valuable financially, or just important to you, remove them and place them somewhere relatively inaccessible and out of sight.
Take your pets for a walk
Leaving your pets in the house is a huge no-no. Many people are not pet lovers, so they will not appreciate the fact that your pooch is just being friendly.
Also, even though you may not notice it, pets leave their own odors behind. It's a fact of pet life. You are inured to them because you live in the house.
People who don't live in your house and who do not have pets — but do have noses — will notice those aromas. Clean up around your pet areas and spray around the house and use common sense to minimize pet scents.
Don't leave your pet in the crate
Some animal lovers may feel this is cruel. Non-pet owners may feel the same way. Even if they don't, the barking may unnerve them. Don't take a chance on creating any kind of negative feelings during a potential buyer's visit to your home.
Ask a friend to do a white glove test.
And a sniff test. If cleaning the house has not been your strong suit previously, it won't be when it's time to show off your home.
If you're not sure, bring in a couple of friends and ask them to give you an opinion. If they say the place looks great, give yourself a round of applause and know you've done a good job.
If they say something like, "Well, it's not so bad…" then hire a cleaning service. It's worth the small cost to get your home sold.
Clean up the outside.
The old cliché about judging a book by its cover applies to the curb appeal of your home. If potential buyers don't find the appearance of the front of your house inviting, they are likely to turn around before they get to the front door.

Newly escaped from his cramped, low-ceilinged enclosure in the zoo for strange human/animal hybrids (where he subsisted on tasteless fodder, dispensed three times daily, and was prodded and laughed at by his visitors and keepers alike), Giraffe Boy looks to the trees of the English countryside for fleshy, succulent leaves, longing to stretch his long, slender neck up into the tall canopies and feast on the tastes and textures of his idealised motherland.
Well, he doesn't mind starting out a little lower to the ground. Here he gets his teeth into the miniature jungle of Lime leaves, suckering from the base of a tall tree at the entrance to a local graveyard:
Mmm, soft and flannelly and soothing to the mouth and throat, only just emerged from their red buds. The Southern lowlands used to be full of Lime woods until they were cleared by the first farmers or herdsmen. Now they are nearly all planted specimens of the small-leaved, large-leaved or hybrid varieties. Later on in Summer the leaves get all sticky and sweet from aphids sucking on the sap and pooing out the sugary excess. Yum!
A little further on he finds a rare Wych Elm which he recognises from the thousands of small, flat-winged seeds (also edible) he saw earlier in the year:
A deeper, richer, more mealy flavour. Thought to be the first elm to establish itself in the primeval woodland, and, like Lime, a large component of that 'wildwood'. Beloved by livestock and susceptible to disease, so it has suffered and dwindled long in this land. Giraffe Boy grazes only where he can reach and leaves the rest of the tree to drink in light and air and produce its vital pollen and seeds.
Mmm, let's try some more Lime. Higher up this time:
And now a venerable Silver Birch:
A bit more bitter, but refreshing, and it's lovely to see the the slender tree sway and shiver in the wind. If he gets really hungry, Giraffe Boy can nibble through to the inner bark. The yellow catkins also have an interesting, polleny flavour. And if he gets cold he has heard that the flaky outer bark is really good for lighting fires (though his hooves make it difficult to make a friction ember). Here's another one he found later on that day:
Ah, Beech. Some beautiful, tall specimens occasionally generous enough to lower branches down to a young Giraffe Boy's height:
Best when young, soft and slightly hairy (older they get more tough and papery), the leaves have a delicious lemony tang, leaving the mouth feeling wonderful. Giraffe Boy likes to reach down and feast on the small, pointy brown nuts in the Autumn.
A little further on, Giraffe Boy finds a hedge of Hornbeam. He tastes the leaves, which have a rather strong, not entirely pleasant flavour. It looks similar to Beech, but the leaves have deeper grooves, more like the Wych Elm. Hmm, not sure about this one…
Later on he finds a full-grown tree with its curious knarly bark:
Ooh boy, here's a lovely Hawthorn!
Both the flowers and the leaves taste delicious. Heady & aromatic, and sweet & nutty. 'Bread and Cheese' as the country children used to call them. Mind the thorns Giraffe Boy! They start out soft but toughen up to a sharp point later in the season, and you wouldn't want to impale your tongue on one! Don't eat too many of the flowers, either – you know how much you like to eat the sweet, red berries they turn into by Autumn-time!
Oh dear, Giraffe Boy seems to be suffering from a headache. No fear! Someone has been good enough to plant an ornamental Weeping Willow by the lake. A brief nibble releases the salicylic acid – present in all Willow species, and a precursor to aspirin – into Giraffe Boy's body. In a little while he feels as right as rain (and appears to have discovered that he has thumbs):
Giraffe Boy doesn't care if a tree isn't 'native' to Britain. If it feeds or heals him well then he will accept it joyfully. After all, he and his long-necked, rough-tongued ancestors came to these shores in exactly the same way. Likewise, for obvious reasons, he doesn't get all pompous about the genetic 'purity' of any weird or wonderful varieties, noticed and propagated by human individuals. Speaking of which, oh my goodness, would you look at this glorious Copper Beech – what a luscious feast for the senses (taste included)!
All the same, Giraffe Boy feels at most at home among the trees in English woodland.
But, oh no! What has happened here?
Our story ends in tragedy, for Giraffe Boy has eaten the deadly foliage of the Yew tree! Oh Giraffe Boy, you felt your freedom so sweetly, but you didn't know that some plants refuse to be eaten by curious human/animal hybrids, and instead of sustaining life they bring death. Oh the high price of wisdom! What a sad fate befalls the wide-eyed and innocent!
I bid you all to learn from Giraffe Boy's example. Stretch your necks high and escape into the wonderful wildness of trees, but take care not to dive too deeply or too quickly without reasonable confidence in your knowledge, and keep a gentle, loving regard for your own safety and well-being.

I got that thing that's going around and I'm staying in bed today.
This illustration is in the newest issue of VINE LINE, done a couple days after he took over.
And it reminds me that including today there are only 4 days left to enter the "Guess The New Cub Manager and his Press Conference Quote" contest.
If you haven't entered, here are the rules, and here are the entries so far.
Ryno's in the lead with 6 guesses, Girardi with 3, and Quade, Torre, and Brenly with one apiece.
Nobody's even guessed Bob Melvin.
Right now, if Quade gets the nod then Bud wins with no competition, and that would be BORING (not your entry, Bud, the competition would be boring because I want to compare the quotes, dammit!).
So right now, guess a manager and what he'll say at his introductory press conference and put it in comments or email me AND YOU MIGHT WIN AN ORIGINAL PAINTING!
Cubs lost to the Pads last night 0-3.

Ephedrine Sulfate Oral Uses
Ma huang ephedra and ephedrine have been used for breathing problems, asthma, and nasal swelling/congestion caused by a cold or allergies.
Ephedrine is available in the US as a nonprescription medication for relief of breathing problems. Ma huang/ephedra is an herbal/dietary supplement. Ephedrine is the active ingredient in ephedra ma huang. It belongs to a class of medications called sympathomimetics. It works like a naturally occurring substance (adrenaline) that your body makes when it thinks it is in danger. It is a central nervous system stimulant that increases your heart rate/blood pressure, narrows your blood vessels (vasoconstriction), and opens up the lungs (bronchodilation).
Some herbal/diet supplement products have been found to contain possibly harmful impurities/additives. The amount of medication may be very different between products. Check with your pharmacist for more details about the particular brand you use. How to use ephedrine sulfate Oral If you are using the nonprescription product/supplement, read all directions on the product package before taking this medication.

It's hard to ignore the political campaigning crossing social media, and declaring oneself as a republican or democrat can make tensions run high.
This may be the reason why many country artists are avoiding sharing their political opinions with fans.
American Idol winner Taylor Hicks is one of a handful of artists who performed at the republican convention this past summer, but this doesn't necessarily make him a republican.
"I don't really talk about my party or political affiliations," said Hicks, according to PBS. "I'm an entertainer; that's what I was invited to do. Seeing everyone being excited about American political process is great."
Similarly, Taylor Swift also recently indicated she would not publicize her political beliefs out of fear of influencing her fans' opinions.
A handful of artists have come out in public support of the republican ticket, at least if their appearances at Romney-Ryan events is any indication. These include Big & Rich, Donny & Marie, Kid Rock, Rodney Atkins, the Oak Ridge Boys, Sara Evans, Trace Adkins, Meat Loaf, Cowboy Troy, Lee Greenwood, Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Daniels, Lorrie Morgan, JoDee Messina, and Jeff Foxworthy.
And of course we all know how Hank Williams, Jr. feels about the current administration.
Well-known democratic supporters in the past have included Kris Kristofferson, Tom T. Hall, and the Dixie Chicks. Garth Brooks has publicly stated his support of Obama ("I love him to death and I fully support him," he said last year). And list of artists who have contributed to the democratic party in previous years also includes Tim McGraw and Faith Hill (they vocally supported Obama in 2008). Brad Paisley performed at the White House this summer (which also happened to be Malia Obama's birthday), though that of course isn't the same as an official 2012 election endorsement. And Willie Nelson? He's allegedly supporting libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
Still more artists are listed as republicans by Ranker, including Carrie Underwood (who has spoken out in support of gay rights), LeAnn Rimes, Kellie Pickler, Billy Ray Cyrus and Martina McBride to name a few. But this doesn't mean they will necessarily vote for Romney.
The Inquisitr learned, for example, that Kelly Clarkson is a registered republican, but the singer vowed to vote for President Obama this election ("I'm not a hardcore feminist," she said, "but we can't be going back to the '50s"). And registered Democrat Toby Keith reportedly contributed money to Republican Rick Perry in 2011, after praising Obama in 2008.
"So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it's really important that those things have to take place," said Keith regarding Obama in 2008. "And I think he's the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton. And that's coming from a Democrat."
Will Keith continue to support Republicans or will he vote for Obama like he did in 2008? This democrat is the perfect example of the inconsistency and ambiguity regarding voting opinions for this election.
One site is clear who they want for President this year and it's not Obama or Romney. It's Blake Shelton!
Would you vote for Blake Shelton?

African American Beauticians in Fourways?
How many times have you wondered what it would be like to be carefree and have low maintenance hair? You comb the pages of the latest black hair care magazines looking for African American hair dos and see others going the curly perm route. If you are stressed out and would rather concentrate on living life to the fullest instead of being in your hair salon every week, the curly perm may be the choice for you.
If you decide to go with a curly perm, you should be prepared for the following:
State of Hair: The act of putting chemicals in your hair to achieve the long-lasting curls of a curly perm involves using chemicals that some black hair experts say are harsh to the hair (but not as harsh as chemical relaxers). Let's face it, you are dealing with harsh chemicals either way, and if you do not have someone who is experienced with putting in these chemicals, you are headed for disaster.
Convenience: If you are in a high humidity situation, get caught in the rain or go swimming, all you have to do is apply extra doses of the moisturizing product, and the slight frizz you have will turn right back into the lush soft curls you had before. You will also spend less time in the salon and more time with family and friends.
Whichever way you choose, be sure you consider all of the pros and cons. Like I said before, I proudly wear a curly perm that is low maintenance and works out perfectly for me as I am at a busy time in my life. Perhaps when my children grow up and move out of the house, I will go natural as I will have more time on my hands to maintain my hair in a long chemical-free style.
African American Healthy Hair Care: The Basics
With the pace of the modern world and the ease of instant gratification, African American Hair Braiding styles seem to be an excellent option for a stylish and low maintenance hair-do. Perhaps the reason that so many youths flock to hair braiding as their favorite style option is due to the fact that it's easy to manage and it comes in great styles.
On almost every corner you can find Hair Salons, and whether they look like they cater for a 'white' clientele or not you can bet they do braiding there. The popularity of African American Hair Braiding styles has surpassed race. In other words people other than those of African American descent also try these Hair Braiding styles. There are several types of Hair Braiding styles to choose from. Some include: Goddess Braids, Micro Braids, Pixie Braids, French Inverted Braids, Pixi Pin Curls, Candy Curls, Bantu Knots, Fishtail Braids, Flat Twist, Locks and Undetectable braid and Cornrow Extensions, Invisible Braids, Tree braids, Senegalese Twist, Silky Locks, Interlock Weaving, Latch Hook Weaving, Silky Corkscrew, African Twist, Kinky Twist, Two-Strand Twist, Nubian Corkscrew, and Cobra Stitch. Perhaps the most difficult part of braiding is learning to keep the tension on the strands as evenly balanced as possible. However, this only comes with practice and in due time.
Cornrows is perhaps one of the most popular types of African American Hair Braiding Styles. It is a traditional style of hair grooming which requires that the hair is tightly braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. Cornrows can be formed, as the name implies, in simple, straight lines; or, in complicated geometric or curvilinear designs. The attraction to this style of braiding is the easy maintenance it offers. Cornrows can be left in for weeks at a time simply by carefully washing the hair using a stocking cap or hair net and then regularly oiling the scalp and hair.

Partial Dentures
Tooth loss can impact your dental function and your self-esteem, leaving noticeable gaps in your smile. If you lose several teeth in more than one area, a partial denture can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease. Partial dentures can either be removable or implant-retained. Removable restorations consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, as well as small metal clasps that grip adjacent teeth. Implant-supported restorations are affixed to dental implants embedded in the jawbone and offer superior stability and aesthetics.
Determining Candidacy
With several types of partial dentures available, these restorations offer patients with varying needs the ability to restore their smile.
You may be a candidate for a partial denture if you have extensive tooth loss, but still have one or more healthy teeth remaining in the upper or lower jaw. To qualify for implant-retained restorations, you must have sufficient bone density and volume to support implant posts. In the case that your bone has degenerated at the site of a missing tooth, you may require a preliminary bone graft or sinus lift to restore your candidacy.
Partial Dentures vs. Complete Dentures
Whereas partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth, full dentures can restore an entire dental arch. Full dentures can be removable or fixed. They can either be supported by dental implants or secured to the gums using suction or adhesion.

To bring Wild West week to a close (so far I've made wagon wheel pasta and wagon wheel cookies), I bring you Wild West cupcakes. These aren't poser cupcakes. No, no. The recipe for these sorghum cupcakes comes from a newspaper in the 1800's (it was for cake, not cupcakes, but close enough). I found the cake recipe (I invented the frosting recipe) on Chronicle of the Old West where they report that, "This was a dessert made either at the ranch or restaurants in town. It couldn't be made on the cattle drive because of the need for butter and eggs, two items that would not remain fresh during a two to three month cattle drive."
For the Sorghum Virgins
Not a sorghum virgin
Sorghum is very similar in texture to molasses (in fact, it's sometimes called sorghum molasses), but it is made from sorghum cane rather than sugar cane. You can read all about the history and the making of sorghum on a wonderful website devoted to sorghum.
You could use another type of molasses for these cupcakes, but the flavor wouldn't be quite the same. Sorghum is a bit sweeter and unlike other types of molasses, it doesn't leave you with that a strong aftertaste.
I had sorghum for the first time at Lambert's – The Only Home of Throwed Rolls (yes, they actually throw rolls at you). They serve their rolls with sweet, delicious sorghum. If you are ever within a few hour drive of a Lambert's, it's worth the trip.
Sorghum Cupcake Recipe
Again, this recipe came from a newspaper in the 1800's (I found it on Chronicle of the Old West). I am reprinting it with my adaptation to cupcakes below:
Sorghum Cupcakes with Orange Whiskey Whipped Cream
Cupcake Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter room temperature
- 1/2 C sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 C sorghum molasses
- 1/2 C water
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 C flour
Orange Whiskey Whipped Cream Ingredients
- 1 C heavy whipping cream cold
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp whiskey
- 1/4 tsp orange zest or dried orange powder
Cupcake Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
- Mix in the eggs.
- In another medium-sized bowl, mix the molasses, water, baking soda, and flour.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until the cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
Orange Whiskey Whipped Cream Instructions
- Whip heavy whipping cream until it looks like whipped cream.
- Add in the other ingredients.
- Spread on the cupcakes (piping seemed too froufrou and girly for the Wild West).
Costume Notes
In case anyone is on the market for a Halloween costume and wants this one, you should know that my costume is actually a pirate wench costume. I figured that it was close enough to the Wild West to do the trick. My flapper headband was also a huge anachronism.
Our Little Cowboy
I had to end the week with a photo of our little cowboy. This photo was taken when we he was three months old. He's now 13 months and he looks so different!


text: The Unconsolable States of America must bid a teary farewell to the Lotus Elise and Exige. They were both on borrowed time anyway, because the feds had granted a waiver for not having "smart" airbags until the end of 2011. But their demise has been hastened by Toyota's decision to discontinue the engine normally found behind the Lotus cars' front seats. It's the end of an era as Lotus in general moves into being more of a lifestyle brand than an enthusiast's. That's the trouble with enthusiasts; not enough of them are rich.

In His Own Words
Thank you for offering this program. Not to gush over it too much, but it truly has changed my perspective on learning from one that confines learning to a finite classroom experience to one that opens learning up to an endless list of opportunities in all areas of life, which really enriches life, especially for a curious, eclectic person such as myself. Even if I never master the reflection parts of learning or the different styles of learning, I hope I continue to keep this perspective of learning not only through the end of the semester and my career at UIS, but through the rest of my life, so thank you!
