(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a seven-part series of articles. Read the rest of the "My Mother's House" series here: Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7.)
As regular readers of this magazine know, there's been a team of alternative-construction specialists working on a variety of innovative buildings at MOTHER EARTH NEWS' Eco-Village property—and gaining expertise as they do so—for the past few years. Under the direction of Jack Henstridge and Rob Roy, the crew (often with assistance from seminar attendees) built three cordwood structures including a stackwood dome. Furthermore, two of Bill Coperthwaite's wooden interpretations of the Mongolian yurt now grace the property.
Until recently, however, our team hadn't gotten the opportunity to put their experience to the test by building a full-scale, energy-efficient dwelling. But in the early part of this past April—with the summer's open houses and seminars rolling rapidly toward us—we finally started our earth-sheltered house construction project!
In this issue we'll describe the initial phases of the undertaking. For the benefit of folks who might use our successes (and mistakes!) to get through the building of their own energy-efficient homes, other articles in the series report on subsequent stages of construction.
Western North Carolina's topography and climate lend themselves quite well to the earth-sheltering approach. Our area is blessed with an abundance of rolling hills—which provide plenty of sites where a home can be backed into a slope without the need for any particularly difficult excavation—and soils that have little expansive (prone to slippage) clay. Therefore, although drainage needs to be carefully considered, actual earth movement isn't often a problem hereabouts.
The region experiences approximately 4,000 heating degree-days annually, and can encounter seasonal extremes of 10° and 95° F. A glance over a local monthly temperature profile chart indicates that some source of home heat may be required from September through May, and that cooling would often be pleasant in July and August. However, even during the hottest and coldest times of the year, the temperature will change significantly from day to night.
Consequently, MOTHER EARTH NEWS' house-planning crew decided that the inclusion of a large amount of thermal mass—along with the added "flywheel" effect of earth berming—would essentially eliminate the need for conventional heating and cooling. And we went on to take a few additional steps to tailor the solar-heated house to our particular climate.
We elected to build the structure on a 6"-thick, 25' X 60' concrete pad that's oriented just 50 to the east of due south. The site has some other excellent qualifications for passive solar heating, too. The open eastern exposure will allow the living area to begin warming soon after sunrise. To the west, however, dense deciduous woods will provide late afternoon shade during the warmer months.
The excavation into the hillside left the rear of the cut 13 1/2 feet below grade. Since that depth is too great for a "to grade" fill on a single-story earth shelter (such a design would have had to support an incredibly thick and heavy layer of earth), we decided to build the back retaining wall to 14 feet and opt for a split-level dwelling. The front half of the house will be only one story and will have a sod-covered roof, while the floor of much of the rear half will be set 63 inches above that of the front.
Therefore, the profile of the back section of the dwelling will protrude above grade, be heavily insulated, and be topped with a "shed" roof. The center section of that rear half, however, will maintain the same floor level as the front of the building ... and have a cathedral ceiling to provide illumination and to serve as a thermal chimney for summer cooling. Below the floors of the two raised bedrooms, we plan to enclose rock solar storage—which will be fed by ductwork from the peak of the cathedral ceiling—and a holding tank for solar-heated domestic water.
The incorporation of an above-grade second story into our design should provide several other benefits as well. The rear bedrooms will receive direct sun for both lighting and heating, and the upstairs view across the Eco-Village valley—of planted bottomland, a lake, and distant mountains—will be delightful. In addition, the operable windows and the exit to the veranda satisfy most regions' building code requirements for egress from sleeping areas.
With those basic concepts in mind, our design committee began to add detail to the roughed-out plans. A root cellar—with access from the kitchen—was situated outside the main walls, requiring a minor addition to the slab. Everyone agreed that the sunspace/greenhouse along the front should be completely glassed, and that a rammed earth floor (treated with linseed oil) in that area would be a good addition to the thermal mass provided by the 12"-thick wall separating the living area from the solarium. Furthermore, for backup heat, we decided to install another massive element: a high efficiency Russian fireplace.
The remainder of the floor plan was left relatively open—with the obvious exception of such spaces as the bathrooms—since our residence is likely to serve as a meeting place for large seminar groups studying earth sheltering and passive solar techniques.
Finally, the innumerable small (but vital) considerations that complete a house—from a gray-water handling system to electrical outlets to washer/dryer placement—were mulled over, and construction was ready to begin.
The Walls Go Up
To counter the combined forces of hydrostatic (water drainage) pressure and earth berming, we opted for a three-way network of redundant wall-reinforcement techniques. The necessary strength was achieved by fitting the courses and cells of 12" retaining-wall block with rebar, filling the cavities with concrete, and then covering the three block walls—inside and out—with a 1/8"-thick layer of Surewall surface-bonding cement. An expansion joint was positioned midway in the rear wall (to prevent cracking), and for waterproofing protection, an area for a drainage pipe and gravel seepage field was planned (to conduct water away from the uphill side of the building).
Before we could begin the wall construction, 3/4" holes had to be bored into the slab, and 36" lengths of 7/8" (No. 7) rebar pounded into the openings. Then a single course of block was laid over the reinforcing rod, with mortar beneath to level out the undulations in the concrete pad. From that point on, the wall was dry-stacked (with no mortar between the tiers), and a section of 5/8" rebar was laid horizontally in each groove in the block as we went along.
Now laying a wall without mortar does allow the work to go quite a bit more quickly than would be possible when mortaring each piece, but the method turned out to have a disadvantage as well. Because common block is often uneven by as much as 1/4 inch, irregularities tend to develop as the courses pile up, and each layer seems to magnify the problems of the one beneath it. [EDITOR'S NOTE: "Trued" block can be acquired in many areas, but it's fairly expensive.] By the time we reached the eight-foot level, there were noticeable bows (or "hogs") in the walls, despite our attempts to level each course as it was laid.
Hence, we decided to pour a lintel to even out the irregularities. Before doing so, though, we dropped two lengths of 5/8" rebar into each cell, built the forms for the root cellar entrance, and then poured the cavities, lintel, and door frame at the same time. To be sure that the concrete would penetrate to the bottom of the blocks' interiors, we ordered it mixed thin and used the rebar to stir the "mud" during filling.
As we were finishing off the last few of the 22 courses required to reach 14 feet, a representative from Bonsal (the company that makes Surewall surface-bonding compound) arrived with some wedges specifically designed to level dry-stacked block. Those plastic implements considerably speeded up the process of truing the wall. Then the remaining cavities were poured and reinforced down to the level of the lintel, and we were ready to apply the Surewall.
We found the material to be similar in many ways to stucco, except that it has fiberglass threads to help add tremendous strength to dry-stacked wall. (Bonsal claims that its product is superior to mortared block walls in withstanding bending, shear, and impact stresses.) One 50-pound bag of Surewall—which must be mixed with 1 1/2 gallons of water—will cover approximately 40 square feet (when spread to a 1/8" thickness), and the current cost is around $10 per bag. Furthermore, it's available in white, gray, and six pastel colors and thus can serve as a finish coat.
The paste was easy enough to apply with a hawk and trowel, although the representative did recommend wetting the walls lightly on hot days to prevent premature drying. We opted for the white surface-bonding cement, but plan to add a layer of Bonsal's light brown finish coat later to produce a smooth surface.
It's difficult to reach a firm conclusion about the economics of using Surewall. The materials cost does exceed that of a simple mortared masonry wall, but—according to the manufacturer—labor time can be reduced by as much as 30% when the product is used. Thus the price of the components used in each method must be weighed against the time needed to apply them.
We do think, however, that people who decide to build a house similar to ours should at least consider opting for continuous-pour concrete walls. Our calculations indicate that filling the cells and lintels for the 12" block wall used up enough concrete—about 70 cubic yards—to pour an identical length of 8"-thick wall, which would be the structural equivalent of our block bulkheads. If an individual were able to re-use the required forming plywood later in the construction process—for roof decking or flooring, for example—the economics of poured concrete could be quite attractive.
A Thermal Mass Wall
The clay content of our western North Carolina soil—while tricky to work with for drainage—happens to help support a thriving brick industry. Consequently, we decided to build the mass wall at the front of the living area from locally fired high-magnesium brick. (The magnesium darkens the material and improves its thermal properties.) Our custom-ordered batch—it was the first of this type that our local plant had ever produced—cost $114 per 1,000 (compared to standard brick at $85 per 1,000).
We laid up the wall three bricks (12") thick to provide a thermal lag time of between six and eight hours. Of course, the partition was tied into the slab with rebar at the bottom. Alternating corner blocks left in the side retaining walls allowed us to key the brick to the rest of the structure.
Since our brick bulkhead needed to be terminated at a height of 7 1/2 feet—to allow space to fit the beams for the sod roof—the use of poured concrete lintels for the tops of the doors and windows proved to be impractical. Instead, we simply welded together two sections of 1/4" X 6" angle iron for each application, bridged the window and door openings, and laid brick directly on top of the metal. At the same time, allowances were made, at the top of the wall, for ducts to transport greenhouse-heated air to the roof peak. There it will be picked up and delivered to the rock storage.
Above-Grade Earth Berming
In order to supplement the structure's thermal mass, we elected to build wing walls that angle out from the front of the building to hold backfill and to allow for some above-grade earth berming. The wing walls were built the same way as the main retaining walls—adding an inch of styrofoam to separate them thermally from the rest of the structure—but have been left bare for the time being, pending a decision on which covering method to use.
So, as this segment of the story closes, all the exterior walls of our earth shelter are up. In the next issue, we'll discuss the post-and-beam structural elements which must withstand the weight of the sod roof , move on to describe the roofing itself, and go into more detail about the various waterproofing techniques that we've chosen.

Derek Holland struck out seven and pitched into the eighth inning and the Texas Rangers took advantage of a couple of wild throws by Josh Beckett to score the go-ahead run in a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.
Elvis Andrus was hit on the left forearm by a pitch to reach with one out in the seventh. He got to third on a single by Adrian Beltre and scored to break a 3-all tie when Beckett (5-9) threw a wild pitch that bounced several feet wide of the plate.
Holland (7-5) allowed three runs and five hits in 7 2-3 innings, and came out of the game soon after a stretch when he retired 20 of 22 batters.
Nelson Cruz led off the eighth with his 13th homer, to greet Red Sox reliever Matt Albers.
Beltre was back in the lineup a day after being hit by a pitch thrown by Vicente Padilla that knocked off his helmet and sent him to the ground. Beltre, who insisted again before Wednesday's game that he didn't think that 0-2 pitch was purposely thrown at him, had a bruise but no concussion.
In what may have been a bit of retaliation with two outs in the first, Red Sox cleanup hitter Adrian Gonzalez was hit in the buttocks by a pitch. Home plate umpire Tim Tschida, the crew chief, pointed Gonzalez to first base and didn't issue any warnings.
There were no further issues, and it was clear by Beckett's reaction when he hit Andrus in the seventh that it was just a pitch that got away.
While retiring 20 of 22 batters, Holland gave up solo homers to Will Middlebrooks and Dustin Pedroia. He struck out the side in the seventh. The impressive stretch ended when Pedro Giriaco had a two-out single in the eighth with Pedroia on deck.
Mike Adams retired Pedroia on a running catch by left fielder David Murphy. Joe Nathan worked a perfect ninth for his 20th save in 21 chances a day after allowing consecutive two-out walks and then giving up a run in a 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.
Beckett allowed nine hits and walked two in his seven innings.
Jacoby Ellsbury drew a walk to start the game and eventually scored when Pedroia grounded into a double play. Gonzalez was then plunked before Cody Ross' inning-ending strikeout.
Holland began his impressive streak after Middlebrooks led off the second with a single. Middlebrooks hit his 12th homer in the fourth, and Pedroia went deep in the sixth.
The Rangers scored three times in the fourth, when they got started with doubles by Michael Young and Murphy. It was Young's first extra-base hit in 11 games since the All-Star break, and Murphy's first RBI since June 28.
Murphy scored on Craig Gentry's perfectly executed suicide squeeze bunt to tie the game at 2. Ian Kinsler followed with an RBI bloop single that dropped after glancing off the heel of sliding right fielder Cody Ross' glove.

Oregon Marriage and Family Therapy Graduate Schools & Programs
Marriage and family therapy graduate schools aim to help prepare you to provide therapy services to families and couples in a convenient local program. As a marriage and family therapist, you may work with a variety of types of families within your community, helping to strengthen relationships and solve problems within family groups. As such, whether you're earning your masters degree in pursuit of a new career, or want to bolster your expertise with a graduate certificate or doctorate, the knowledge and experience you gain in marriage and family therapy programs may be invaluable. Studying in marriage and family therapy schools, you may even have the support of your professors and advisors in person, as well as other valuable resources you may find on a local campus.
Basics of Marriage and Family Therapy Graduate Schools
Marriage and family counseling, sometimes referred to as marriage and family therapy or MFT, focuses on how people interact within their family groups and relationships. That might include parents and children, married couples, siblings, and other similar family units. In the field, you might work in a variety of settings, ranging from private offices and practices to nonprofits, hospitals, and social services agencies. Similarly, graduate programs and professional practices may also focus on the needs of certain populations (such as LGBT, urban populations, or specific cultural minorities) or life events (such as grief counseling).
When evaluating which programs to attend, you may want to consider programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP) or the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE), as some employers may prioritize graduates of these programs.i You might also consider programs that support your efforts to earn licensure, if you are not already a licensed professional.
Benefits of Marriage and Family Therapy Graduate Schools
The personal nature of MFT work may make in person, on campus learning a great option. Marriage and family therapy graduate schools might support you in several unique ways. Studying on campus may grant you access to physical resources like a library, research support, technology labs, and academic and career counseling. You may also have the opportunity to get involved with fascinating research, under your professors and alongside your peers. Finally, you could also utilize the support of a local program when organizing practical experiences and observations.
If you choose a graduate school in your local community, you might balance your education with your life, potentially allowing you to continue working in your current position. That may be an important factor in funding your graduate education. And if you choose to attend a marriage and family therapy graduate program further afield, you might not only get to know people in your new city, but also establish a valuable professional network through your experience in the classroom and in the field.
The education you're looking for, with the resources of a graduate school. Sound like something you may be interested in? Great marriage and family therapy graduate programs may be open for consideration at a variety of program levels.
Types of Programs Offered at Marriage and Family Therapy Graduate Schools
Marriage and family therapist graduate schools may provide programs at the graduate certificate, masters and doctorate levels. One useful qualification for selecting programs is the accreditation status. Employers may opt to seek out candidates who graduated from programs accredited by CACREP, so you may want to narrow your search criteria accordingly. This may have the additional benefit of helping you choose programs that might offer a quality education, and prepare you for licensure if that is a concern. Other issues that may influence your decision may include the treatment model espoused by the program in question, the program's philosophy and values, and other details. Contact schools directly to learn more or continue reading to learn a bit more about your potential MFT degree options.
Earn a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy
Marriage and family therapy graduate schools might award a few different types of masters degrees upon completion of a program, including Master of Arts (MA), and Master of Science (MS). As earning your masters in marriage and family counseling may be a primary requirement for working in the field as a counselor, licensure is likely to be a major consideration for many. Because of this, you may wish to earn your masters in family counseling at a graduate school in the state where you mean to work. Review licensure requirements to ensure preferred programs support your career goals.
Marriage and Family Therapy Doctoral Programs
Depending on your career goals, you might choose one of several marriage and family therapy doctoral programs, such as a Ph.D., Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) or Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT). While many Ph.D. programs tend to focus on performing and evaluating research, some options may be more focused on clinical application in the field. You may be interested in performing psychology research to help learn more about healthy relationship and family dynamics. Or perhaps you seek an administrative, leadership role within social services organizations. Read MFT doctorate program listings carefully and contact programs directly through their listing to find great matches for you.
Marriage and Family Counseling Graduate Certificate Programs
Family and marriage counseling schools may offer graduate certificate programs at the masters or post-masters level. Whether earning a graduate certificate is your first potential foray into graduate school, or you've already earned your masters, these programs may be a valuable consideration. If you're already a licensed professional with your masters, earning a graduate certificate may be a great way to bolster your expertise in a certain area, or pursue a new career specialization, without necessarily enrolling in a doctoral program. MFT graduate certificate programs may also be a way to earn those post-graduate credits you may need to maintain your license. New to the field? Graduate certificate programs could be a great way to test the waters and see what a MFT graduate program might be like!

This week, there's an interview in New York's Village Voice with the company's CEO, Noel Biderman. He says when an Ashley Madison billboard was removed from NYC's Times Square after numerous complaints, he was "disappointed, but not deterred." Biderman notes, "There's absolutely nothing illegal in what we do. We offer freedom of choice. I don't think a billboard is going to convince you to commit adultery. It just makes you aware of our service. People come to us because we offer them a lack of judgment. Step back and look at marriage and divorce rates. Monogamy is obviously up for debate."

CHAMPAIGN – One day after thrashing rival Batavia by 21 points, the Geneva boys basketball team looked flat against Bloomington.
Down by 13 points midway through the third quarter, Geneva junior Nate Navigato wouldn't allow his team to lose.
Navigato put the team on his back in the second half and finished with a career-high 41 points in a 61-57 win against the Purple Raiders at the Country Financial Centennial Shootout at the University of Illinois on Saturday.
Navigato was an efficient 10 for 12 from the floor, but made an equal impact from the charity free-throw line hitting 19 of 23 attempts. Navigato scored 33 of his points after halftime.
"He played a whale of a game," Geneva head coach Phil Ralston said. "He's already got three offers and close to 20 schools looking at him. Anyone who saw him tonight knows why; he pretty much has the whole game."
The Purple Raiders looked as though they might run away with the game, pushing their lead to 39-26 early in the third quarter. But Bloomington had no answer for Navigato, and he brought Geneva (6-1) back into the game.
"Coach always tells me that if you're not shooting when you're open, you're being selfish by passing," Navigato said. "I take that to heart, and if I'm open, I have confidence that I can score."
The junior earned a layup and the foul to bring the lead to 39-28 and an ensuing technical foul on Bloomington's Jacob Romani gave the Vikings two additional free throws and the ball.
From that point on, Navigato went on a personal 15-2 run to put the Vikings ahead, 43-41. The two teams traded blows down the stretch, but a technical on Bloomington head coach Michael Mosley gave Geneva the lead to end the game.
The Vikings jumped out to a quick 12-5 lead behind six points from Navigato, though the Purple Raiders would respond in the second quarter and make a run to take the lead before halftime. Bloomington went on a 17-7 run in the second quarter and was fueled by Geneva turnovers against the Purple Raiders' full-court press.
But there was too much Navigato down the stretch, and the Vikings pulled out a win after not playing up to Ralston's standards for much of the game.
"We took a timeout and I told the kids we've abandoned everything we said we were going to do in this game," Ralston said. "We said one of our keys was to get the ball inside on them, and Nate took over from there."
Antonio Sims led Bloomington with 20 points and four steals.

Blinged Out Justin Bieber Talks Grammy Snub + More Backstage at Z100 Jingle Ball
Backstage at the Z100 Jingle Ball on Friday (Dec. 7), the dissed-by-the-Grammys Justin Bieber chatted with JJ from the radio station, wearing more gold chains than Mr. T. or Ricky Rozay. Again, there will be no Grammy gold for the Biebs in 2013, but he is making up for it with the bling.
Check out those studs in his ears. That ice ain't cheap. We can tell that Biebs is sporting several bills in jewelry.
His manager Scooter Braun popped into the interview -- he's a mini celeb himself -- to address the hoopla over his Twitter rant regarding Bieber walking away from the Grammy nominations with a big, fat goose egg earlier this week.
When asked "How burnt up are you?" about the snub, Braun took the lead and answered. "Honestly, I really wasn't," he said, in a move that felt a bit like backpedaling since his tweets seemed genuinely bummed about his client's exclusion from what is touted as "Music's Biggest Night."
Braun continued, "It wasn't a burnt up thing. It was very simple. I stated my opinion. People were writing and asking. I said what I thought. The headlines in the press were about this 'fury.' I think he is very talented and in years to come, we will win many Grammys."
That's what we said!
The Biebs ain't going anywhere, and he has plenty of Grammy gold on the horizon. You can bank on that.

Michelle Dockery Hits Two Spring Trends in One
Bright lips and white eye shadow are two very intimidating trends that proved ever popular on spring's runways last September. And sure, not everything's meant for real life interpretation, but Michelle Dockery's look, at an event in Los Angeles, proves that anyone can pull these off with just a few tricks and the right shades. We grilled the Downton Abbey star's glam team—makeup artist Jordan Bree Long and hairstylist Sascha Breuer—for their secrets.
Skincare's the first step to any great look, so try a de-puffing, dark circle-minimizing eye roller or cream. Long used La Mer's The Eye Concentrate ($185), then the brand's The Moisturizing Soft Cream ($155) for a hit of moisture pre-makeup.
Try Long's trick for undetectable foundation, even in bright light: she applied Armani's Maestro Foundation ($64) with a foundation brush, then pressed it into Dockery's skin with a sponge sprayed with toner. "It helps the foundation to blend into the skin better," Long says.
Long used Beautyblender's Sponge ($20) and Amorepacific's Time Response Skin Renewal Toner ($180).
For a flawless, natural-looking flush, Long dabbed Chanel's Le Blush Crème de Chanel ($38) in Revelation onto the apples of Dockery's cheeks, then blended with the same beautyBlender. "This will give you a sheer tint," Long says.
Groomed, perfectly-defined brows help frame your face and make you look more put together. Long brushed Dockery's arches in place, filled them in with Anastasia Beverly Hills' Duo Brow Powder ($23), and locked them in place with Maybelline's Great Lash Clear Mascara ($5). (Try a stronger brow gel if your arches are unruly.)
The best part about using light shadow? It makes your lashes seriously pop. Long used the palest shade from Tom Ford Eyeshadow Quad in Cocoa Mirage ($78), or try Sephora's Colorful Eyeshadow ($13) in No. 75 Sandcastle.
The trick to making such pale shadow work? Define the lashline. Long reached for Loreal Paris' Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner ?($8) in Black . "It has such a fine tip that you can apply the thinnest line to plump up the top lashes, without making it look liner," she says. "And it's great for day because it dries matte!"
No need to go overboard with mascara! A single coat of Dior's Diorshow Mascara ?($25) in Black will do.
Sure orange was the big color story for spring, but it's not for everyone. Choose the bright that best suits you and try something with a sheen this season, instead of last spring's ubiquitous matte. "This formula is incredibly creamy and stays on really well," Long says about Armani's Lip Maestro ($33) in Red Fuschia. "Plus, it won't make your lips dry."
To create texture, but still have a polished finish, Breuer sprayed Dockery's wet roots with Davines' This Is A Sea Salt Spray ($27), then blow-dried with a large round brush to create "loose volume."
Next, Breuer wrapped small sections of Dockery's hair around a one-inch curling iron. The trick to making barrel curls look young and fresh? Alternate directions: "If you curl all your hair in the same direction you'll get a '40s look," Breuer says. "This is more modern, and the hair looks fuller because the curls are pressing on each other, making more volume."
Try Hot Tools Professional Spring 1 Inch Curling Iron ($32).
To lock your style in place, but not disrupt the curls, try Breuer's tip. "Tilt your head to the side to fan out your hair, then spray with hairspray from underneath," he says. Repeat on the other side, and voila!
Try Pantene Pro-V's Fine Hair Style Lasting Volume Hairspray ($5).

A chronic illness such as Crohn's disease can affect your sexuality. The disease not only alters your body, it also may change how you feel about your body. (Read more about your body image and Crohn's in the Spring 2011 issue of Crohn'sAdvocate magazine.) As someone living with Crohn's, sexuality may feel especially important because it affirms feeling normal and capable—2 senses of the self that can feel threatened as you work to control your symptoms.
Of course everyone has insecurities, but Crohn's disease may amplify the normal insecurities you have. It may make you more susceptible to feelings of depression and anxiety, both of which can affect sexual health and well-being. When your Crohn's is active, pain and fatigue may also interfere with your sexual desire and function. What's more, Crohn's can affect your partner, who may also be struggling with fears, fatigue, or managing the new role of caregiver.
But there are ways to manage all of these issues. You are not doomed to a life of celibacy, or even a life of bad sex! Crohn's disease and sex can go together. Here are some helpful ideas to keep in mind.
The first step is to work to understand how Crohn's affects your sexuality. The next step is to find ways to manage any problems. Regular exercise is a tremendous boon to your sexual self overall. Local or online support groups are also a great source of validation and comfort, as they offer an opportunity to discuss your worries with others who understand. Finally, always remember that your partner and your physician are both there to help you. Communicating with them is a vital part of finding a solution to any sexual issue.
Your sexual desire may ebb and flow according to the progress of your Crohn's disease. That's why it's important to let your partner know that you're still open to nonsexual physical affection. When you aren't feeling well, this affection may help support you and your partner. And it can be an opportunity to cultivate and deepen the emotional intimacy within your relationship.
Your physician doesn't have to be an expert in sex therapy to help you address these issues. Often just having another person to talk to is an enormous help. Many of us simply need reassurance that it's normal to worry about sexuality in the face of Crohn's disease. Because these topics are difficult to discuss, it would be helpful if physicians took the first step; however, asking patients about sexual concerns is rarely part of a regular evaluation.
By starting the conversation yourself, you can open a collaborative discussion of these sensitive concerns. Even if you don't have any worries at the moment, once you've broached the subject, you can feel more comfortable mentioning any issues in the future. (Read more about talking with your doctor about Crohn's in the Winter 2010 issue of Crohn'sAdvocate magazine.)
Sexuality reminds us that we are healthy and alive. Sexuality also reinforces confidence and makes us feel attractive. And for those of us living with Crohn's disease, it gives us pleasure when pleasures in general may be missing. Don't shy away from talking about sexuality, so you can start enjoying it.

Security vendor Trend Micro has named BlackBerry 7.0 the most secure mobile operating system for enterprise use, above Apple iOS, Windows and Android platforms.
Researchers from Altimeter Group, Bloor Research and Trend Micro assessed built-in security, application security, authentication, device wipe, device firewall and virtualisation features of BlackBerry 7.0, iOS 5, Windows Phone 7.5 and Android 2.3.
BlackBerry gained the highest average score (2.89), followed by iOS (1.7), Windows Phone (1.61) and Android (1.37).
According to the report, published by Trend Micro this week (pdf), the corporate-grade security and manageability of BlackBerry made it the best option for the most stringent mobile roles.
It rated higher than Apple iOS due to the administrator's complete control over the device through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), but features need to be managed for there to be a benefit to the business, researchers said.
The report praised the sandboxing of the iOS application architecture and there being no options for adding removable storage.
It also praised the "reasonably robust and secure" smartphone operating system in Windows Phone, with the OS using privileges and isolation techniques to create sandbox processes based on a policy system that defines which features the processes operating in a chamber can access.
Although more up-to-date versions of Android are available, the researchers said version 2.x was still the most widely deployed on existing and new handsets, creating a security risk in itself. Apps also run in a sandboxed environment and they cannot access the network without prior consent.
"Against the growing, unstoppable backdrop of consumerisation and BYOD, every mobile device is a risk to business," said Raimund Genes, CTO of Trend Micro.
"What is interesting in these results is that, whilst some mobile platforms have evolved very noticeably along enterprise lines, there is still a strong 'consumer marketing' legacy in some quarters and this is negating some of the progress made on the enterprise front.
"Indeed, some of the attributes we have examined in the report are still firmly 'enterprise-unready'."
Nigel Stanley, security practice leader at Bloor Research, said: "Security people I work with are scared witless by consumerisation and the rapid adoption of these devices.
"Aside from the technical challenges, organisations need to understand the importance of a decent mobile device security policy and supporting user education."

Worlds roster announced
Media release:
CALGARY, Alta. – Mark Messier, Team Canada general manager for the 2010 IIHF World Championship, has announced a first group of 15 players that will represent Canada at the world championship, which runs May 7-23 in Cologne and Mannheim, Germany.
"Our philosophy going into the World Championship this year was to build a young talented team that is excited to have a chance to represent their country," said Messier. "We are very proud of the enthusiasm and excitement that the players have shown when informed of their selection. The World Championship is a tremendous opportunity for these young players to gain experience at the international level."
Messier and the management staff, comprised of Scott Salmond, Hockey Canada's director of men's national teams, Doug Risebrough, Michel Goulet and Doug Messier, has been scouting NHL teams and monitoring the playoff situation. Messier is expected to fill out the roster once the first round of the NHL playoffs comes to an end.
Canada's preliminary roster includes one goaltender, five defencemen and nine forwards. The roster is highlighted by a member of Canada's gold medal-winning team at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (Perry), and 12 players with international experience. Eight of these 12 players with international experience have won gold medals with Canada at previous international competitions. Only Francois Beauchemin, Rene Bourque and Rich Peverley will be representing Canada in international competition for the first time. Seven players (Downie, Kane, Ott, Perry, Russell, Staal, Tavares) have represented Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championship, but will be taking part in their first IIHF World Championship.
G Chris Mason Red Deer, Alta. St. Louis Blues (NHL)
D Francois Beauchemin Sorel, Que. Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL)
D Brent Burns Barrie, Ont. Minnesota Wild (NHL)
D Mark Giordano Toronto, Ont. Calgary Flames (NHL)
D Kris Russell Caroline, Alta. Columbus Blue Jackets (NHL)
D Marc Staal Thunder Bay, Ont. New York Rangers (NHL)
F Rene Bourque Lac La Biche, Alta. Calgary Flames (NHL)
F Steve Downie Queensville, Ont. Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL)
F Evander Kane Vancouver, B.C. Atlanta Thrashers (NHL)
F Steve Ott Stoney Point, Ont. Dallas Stars (NHL)
F Corey Perry Peterborough, Ont. Anaheim Ducks (NHL)
F Rich Peverley Guelph, Ont. Atlanta Thrashers (NHL)
F Steven Stamkos Unionville, Ont. Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL)
F John Tavares Oakville, Ont. New York Islanders (NHL)
F Ray Whitney Ft. Saskatchewan, Alta. Carolina Hurricanes (NHL)
In addition, Messier announced that forward Jordan Eberle (Regina, Sask./Regina, WHL) has been invited to attend the team's pre-competition camp from May 2-6 in Hamburg, Germany. Eberle played for Canada at the two past IIHF World Junior Championships, and just completed his season with Springfield, the AHL affiliate of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers.
Canada can register up to 25 players on its final roster at the world championship, but only 22 players, including two goaltenders, can be dressed for each game.
Canada's coaching staff is comprised of head coach Craig MacTavish (London, Ont.), associate coach Peter DeBoer (Dunnville, Ont./Florida Panthers, NHL) and assistant coach Billy Moores (Edmonton, Alta./Edmonton Oilers, NHL).
The team will convene in Hamburg, Germany on May 2 for a four-day pre-competition camp that will include one exhibition game, on May 4 against Germany. Canada's first game at the 2010 IIHF World Championship is on May 8 vs. Norway in Mannheim. An official roster does not have to be submitted to the IIHF by Hockey Canada until May 7, and players can be added after the preliminary round up to a maximum of 25 players.

Which of the Five Senses Can You Blame for Buyer's Remorse?
We've all been there. We see something online that we want, we hit the "purchase" button — and then wish we hadn't. Why are we so fickle?
With the explosion in e-commerce, more and more of us are doing our shopping online, and shipping companies like UPS say returns of those items are at an all-time high.
And while such buyer's remorse might have been triggered simply because people made bad buying decisions, experts think there's something more primitive at work — namely, we're less connected to items bought online because we can't touch them first.
A recent study by Bangor University found that messages delivered via snail-mail leave a deeper and longer-lasting impression than when that same message is received online. Brain imaging showed that just touching the paper triggered an emotional response that led to a stronger bond, and researchers feel that could in turn lead to a sense of possession.
In other words, touching an item first makes us feel more strongly about owning it. And since we can't do that when we're shopping online (well, yet anyway), we don't feel as connected to the things we buy that way — and are more likely to regret those purchases later on.

Part of the signature of the 2006 Mets was their ability to strike quickly and a reliance to go deep into their bullpen.
The Mets scored four runs in the first inning, tacked on a couple of more and hung on for a 6-5 victory over the Florida Marlins in Miami.
Run-scoring hits by Paul Lo Duca, Cliff Floyd and Endy Chavez off Ricky Nolasco staked Steve Trachsel to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Trachsel, as was his reputation let the Marlins get back into the game.
Trachsel gave up three runs on two homers and didn't make it out of the sixth before turning the game over to Roberto Hernandez, who worked one inning before the parade of relievers – Pedro Feliciano, Chad Bradford, Aaron Heilman and Billy Wagner – shut down the Marlins.
The Mets did not have an extraordinarily deep rotation that summer and manager Willie Randolph adeptly used match-ups over the last three innings.
General manager Omar Minaya did not keep the bullpen intact in the offseason – he let Darren Oliver and Bradford get away – which contributed to the dramatic collapse in the final weeks of the 2007 season.

Making ConnectionsBy Eileen Feretic | Posted 2009-06-01 Print
At Los Angeles World Airports, the IT organization is laying the groundwork to become the world's most technologically advanced airport.
LAWA utilizes a combination of equipment in its 10 Gigabit Ethernet network. "We use mostly Cisco equipment, as Cisco is our network standard, but we also use Extreme Networks equipment at the Tom Bradley terminal," Nessi says.
Currently, the network connects LAX with LAWA's other airports. However, management is considering making this network available to the 70 or so airlines that use the airports.
"This is not a technology issue, it's a business-model issue," Nessi explains. "What would the airlines like to get from us, how much can we charge them, what will it cost to share the bandwidth that we have and do we even have excess capacity? We're looking at all these issues right now.
"There are some really interesting things happening in the airport industry. A lot of wireless is being deployed, particularly in baggage-handling areas, and a lot of handheld devices are being used to monitor and check bags. In fact, some planes are their own network. When they come into a gate, the planes can make a wireless connection and order parts. They can even remind the maintenance folks what maintenance is required and whether parts are on the way."
LAWA is relying more and more on technology for virtually everything, and a wireless network is going to be critical, according to Nessi, who offered this example of what's being done today at the Bradley terminal: "We have devices we call COWs, or common use on wheels. If a ticket line is too long, an available ticket agent can wheel a wireless COW right to the passengers who haven't made it to the desk area yet. The COWs tie into our common-use systems and have the flight information display screen right on top."
Currently, the COWs are used only in the Bradley terminal, but LAWA is planning to expand their use. "We're basically going to go through the four terminals we own," Nessi says. "The other five terminals are owned by airlines or airline cooperative associations. We'll extend common use where it makes sense, and, little by little, we'll be migrating COWs and other technologies throughout the terminals that we own, as well as to any that we reacquire."
These technologies are—and will continue to be—billed back to the airlines on a utility basis.

First (and this shouldn't even have to be said), leaders from both parties have to come together. Democrats blamed Republicans for killing the Lighthouse project. Republicans blamed Democrats for getting last year's vote shot down. Neither side is entirely wrong, but the blame game has resulted in nothing, unless you consider the Islanders' departure an accomplishment. Democrats and Republicans at all levels of government should sit down together and keep talking until meaningful progress is made. This shouldn't be about one party ensuring that it gets all the credit.
Second, the Town of Hempstead created a zoning plan for the Coliseum property. Unfortunately, it was drafted well after the Lighthouse plan was proposed, which essentially doomed that project because there was no guidance for developers. Now there is. We know what kind of development the town is willing to accept. Any plan should meet its requirements so the process can be completed as quickly as possible.
Finally, our elected leaders should find out what the people want. Is there a need for affordable housing? What kind of shops do they want to see? What attraction should the Hub be built around? Do they want to see the existing Coliseum replaced or refurbished? The county should host numerous public hearings to gauge what residents want.
We're glad that, despite the Islanders' announcement that they are leaving, development of the Hub hasn't been forgotten. But if the past is any indication, it's hard to be optimistic that this time will be any different. Politicians must step up and prove they are serious about building a bigger, better Hub. That means working together. Imagine how great a vital Hub would be for Nassau County.

Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell is the United Nation Foundation's first Global Advocate for Entrepreneurship. In this role, he set the sustaining mission of the Global Advocate – to pave the way for the next billion jobs by advocating for the No. 1 creator of jobs: entrepreneurs.
At the Social Good Summit 2014, Michael unveiled his term agenda, which is to ensure job creation and entrepreneurs, also known as Goal 8, to make the final list of 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is important because the SDGs, which were voted on by the UN General Assembly in September 2015, are defining the top development priorities of the UN member nations through the year 2030. They effectively set international norms that impact policy decisions at the country level and drive trillions of dollars in domestic spending, private investment, and public and private procurement.
The overarching goal of the SDGs is to end absolute poverty by 2030. How is that possible without new and better jobs? And who is creating those jobs? Entrepreneurs. Startups and fast-growing, new businesses create 70 percent of the net new jobs in the world (up to 90 percent in some emerging economies).
Job creation and the entrepreneurs who drive it must be a global priority. This is why we started the #EntrepreneursUNite initiative and Michael Dell called up everyone to support:

We need a pretty simple design that is eyecatching and can associate with what we sell (furniture). It also needs to be functional where we can use it on our letterhead, busines cards, catalog and of course T shirts. We need help in knowing if a lot of color is good or keep it to a couple (for printing purposes). We have had our current logo for about 5 years. In the beginning we had just a few lines of furniture (folding chairs, folding tables, desks etc) but if you visit our website you will see a lot more of what we do now. You basically have a blank slate.

When I think of summer, images of light blue swimming pools, colorful swimsuits and tall glasses of iced tea pop into my mind. During the summer iced tea is my beverage of choice. Although I like plain iced tea, I also enjoy experimenting with different flavors. Try these three herbal iced tea recipes to add some zest to this summer drink.
For an especially refreshing taste, try this mint iced tea.

Mint Iced Tea
• 5 cups water
• 1 teaspoon comfrey
• 1 teaspoon rose petals
• 1 teaspoon uva ursi
• 1 teaspoon spearmint
• 1 teaspoon peppermint
1. Bring water to a simmer and stir in herbs, either loose or in a reusable tea bag. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, no longer than 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the tea becomes bitter.
2. Strain and chill the tea until cool. Serve over ice with a sprig of mint.
For a tart, flavorful drink try this ruby iced tea.
Ruby Iced Tea
• 1 cup lemon balm
• 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
• ½ cup spearmint leaves
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Maple syrup (to taste)
1. Place the herbs, lemon juice and maple syrup into a gallon jar. Fill with boiling water and let steep for 10 minutes.
2. Strain and discard the herbs. Serve over ice garnished with lemon slices.
For a lightly sweetened, tangy taste, try this lemongrass ginger iced tea.

Lemongrass Ginger Iced Tea
• ½ cup sugar
• 7 ½ cups water
• 1 large stalk lemongrass, dry tops and tough outer leaves removed, stalk cut into small rounds (about ¼ cup)
• 1-inch by 2-inch knob of ginger, peeled and chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
• 4 mild black teabags, such as Darjeeling or Assam
• Ice for serving
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, 1/2 cup water, lemongrass and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to the dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the lemongrass and ginger to steep in the sugar syrup for at least half an hour. For more pronounced flavor, place in the refrigerator and allow to steep several hours or overnight.
2. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the teabags, turn off the heat, and allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the teabags and discard. Pour the brewed tea into a heat-proof pitcher.
3. Strain the lemongrass ginger syrup through a small sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard the solids, and add the syrup to the pitcher of tea. Add three cups of cold water to the tea, and stir well. Serve over ice.
The combinations of flavors of iced tea are endless. Do you have a great herbal iced tea recipe? Feel free to share it with me in the comment section!

Tis the season for top 10 mania
It's that "top 10" time of year, a brief temporal news hole filled with over-the-top-10 copy attempting to capture the top something or other of the departing annum. In between perusing top 10 embarrassing celebity or presidential moments (I'm the shoe dodger!"), don't miss a more sobering list, The top 10 stories you missed in 2008, offered by Foreign Policy . For all the vast apparatus at work covering the news-ish world, it's amazing how much actual news goes unreported, including: a stealth surge in Afgahnistan, solar panel cleaning fluid a potent source of greenhouse gases, the remarkably futile, if frequently touted, war on drugs in Colombia; the unsafe at any speed Shanghai steel industry; and more.
And for a little fun (fun that is assuming you are an international relations geek), take a look at their Top 10 Worst Predictions for 2008. My fav? Gotta be the cassandraish William "WMD" Kristol asserting that the neophyte Barack Obama would not take a single primary from the unstoppable Hillary Clinton. Also don't missing Henry Paulson's reassurance regarding our stabilized banking system.
Briefly noted:
Our favorite fundraising pitch of the season comes courtesy of Foreign Policy in Focus, which begins their appeal with a sadly too-close-to-reality-for-comfort riff off our recent troubles here in Illinois.
"Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is accused of seeking $2.5 million in campaign contributions in exchange for state contracts and most notoriously, for Senator Obama's vacant Senate seat.
"Inspired by his brash willingness to break the law, ignore common decency and fight to stay in office against all odds, FPIF is asking for a kickback of our own-a small donation from each of you.
"While we can't offer you a cabinet post or place you on a corporate board in exchange, your tax-exempt contribution will ensure that we can continue to offer you some of the best cutting-edge analysis on U.S. foreign policy . . . "

Bellator bantamweight champ Zach Makovsky isn't exactly a stranger to training with bigger guys.
Unless you're a regular with the Urijah Faber-led Team Alpha Male, a fighter of his stature can bet on rolling at a weight disadvantage for much of his training.
On Saturday at Bellator 54, Makovsky (13-2 MMA, 5-0 BFC) meets Ryan Roberts (16-9-1 MMA, 0-1 BFC) in his second non-title bout since winning the bantamweight strap in season three.
Roberts makes his debut at bantamweight after several appearances at lightweight, and Makovsky knows the fight is no walk in the park.
Makovsky vs. Roberts airs live on MTV2 as part of the main card for Bellator 54, which takes place at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. Preliminary action streams live on Spike.com.
"He's fought some very tough competition," Makovsky told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "He's fought Duane Ludwig, Marcus Aurelio, (Donald) 'Cowboy' Cerrone. He's lost to all those guys, but this is his first time at 135, so I think he's going to be pretty big and strong."
Makovsky hasn't been deterred much by challenges since he began his Bellator career. Thus far he's racked up a five-win streak in the promotion and hasn't lost since August 2009.
And as Makovsky noted in an earlier radio appearance, he is used to fighting taller opponents. That, of course, means that he's frequently required to take them down in order to negate a reach advantage, but he's not sure how the fight with Roberts will play out.
"I like to feel out the beginning of the round and kind of see how they're attacking me and what kind of pressure they're bringing," Makovsky said of his strategy. "I definitely want to keep him off guard from the beginning. (I want to) start that wearing him down process immediately if I can."
Thus far, he's worn out countless opponents on the mat, and Roberts' inexperience with the grind of a grappling match at 135 pounds may aid Makovsky if the fight goes into deep waters.
"We'll see," he said. "I don't know how he's going to handle the weight cut."
With Bellator's next bantamweight tournament currently unscheduled, the champ is more focused on keeping himself sharp for the next challenger to his title. That isn't Roberts, but it is a chance to stay in limelight.
"I'm expecting a tough fight," Makovsky said.

MMAjunkie.com Radio broadcasts Monday-Friday at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) live from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino's Race & Sports Book.

Justin Bieber Gets Tattoo Representing Mom's Eye
Justin Bieber has paid tribute to his mom with his latest tattoo. On Wednesday, Justin posted a photo to Instagram of his new ink: an eyeball on his left arm, just above another tattoo of the word "believe."
Justin wrote, "@bangbangnyc did this art. Moms always watching ;)" In the photo, next to Justin's arm, there is a black-and-white picture of an eyeball, presumably that of Justin's mom, Pattie Mallette, for the tattoo artist at the Bang Bang tattoo parlor in New York City to use as a reference.

Bold Cameroon pay dearly for profligacy against Denmark
Cameroon went out of the World Cup after losing 2-1 to Denmark in a thrilling match in Pretoria. Three enduring images from Saturday night. First, Cameroon's players flopping towards the turf at the final whistle, as if felled by buckshot.sports Updated: Jun 21, 2010 14:23 IST
Cameroon went out of the World Cup after losing 2-1 to Denmark in a thrilling match in Pretoria.
Three enduring images from Saturday night. First, Cameroon's players flopping towards the turf at the final whistle, as if felled by buckshot.
Then, shortly afterwards, their coach, Paul Le Guen, parrying and obfuscating when asked about the uncivil war in his camp before stubbornly proclaiming: "Je ne regrette rien". And, finally, the pained anguish on Samuel Eto'o's face as he contemplated the end of Cameroon's World Cup hopes.
"It's my greatest disappointment," he said. "All my season had been focused on this. I wanted to have a great tournament, I really wanted to go far. The adventure's ending with a lot of regrets. I gave everything that I had in my legs and in my heart."
The same could be said for Cameroon's players. In their opener against Japan their football was sallow and uninspired, but against Denmark they warmed the Loftus Versfeld Stadium with their consequences-be-damned directness. Eto'o deservedly put them ahead early in the game after a blunder from Christian Poulsen but from then on they squandered opportunities with the carelessness of a billionaire playing the slots.
Eventually they suffered for it. Denmark's equaliser came when Benot Assou-Ekotto watched Simon Kjaer's 70yard diagonal pass spear over his head to the excellent Dennis Rommedahl, who set up Nicklas Bendtner to slot home. Then, just past the hour, Bendtner returned the favour for Rommedahl, who cut inside before curling his shot into the far corner.
A frantic and thrilling game ended with Cameroon throwing bodies into the box, desperately trying to pull themselves away from tournament oblivion. But it was all to no avail. "We could have killed off the match in the first half but fate decided otherwise," said Eto'o. "But when you lose it's because mistakes have been made. We made them in the first game and on Saturday night. This was a great opportunity to do something big but it wasn't to be. Now we've got to finish off the group with dignity for the people of Cameroon."
Dignity has been in short supply in the Cameroon camp during this World Cup, especially after the hastily arranged marriage between LeGuen and his fractious squad broke down. But they surely had the armoury to have achieved something tangible in South Africa. Certainly they scared the Danes half to death.
"We wanted to control the game but we didn't show the quality we have, we didn't show anything," said Daniel Agger. "We just defended. On the positive side we got three points, but we played a really bad game and had a lot of luck. The mistakes we made shouldn't be possible in a World Cup. But sometimes it happens. If Cameroon had been more clinical they would have scored maybe three goals in the first half. That was our luck."
Denmark now face Japan in a winner-takes-all match in Rustenburg on Thursday but Agger has warned his teammates: "We have to improve or we won't progress." It will not be easy. Kjaer, who picked up a second yellow card, will be missing and several key players are nursing minor knocks.
The Danes still have plenty of fight in them judging by their performance on Saturday and the growling stares of their coach, Morten Olsen, afterwards.
When it was suggested to Olsen that his team were too old, he snapped back: "That's not our problem. Our problem is we have too many injuries.
"We are going into the game with Jon Dahl Tomasson injured, Bendtner injured, Daniel Jensen injured," he said. "We cannot change tactically, that's the big problem. I hope during the next four or five days that these kind of players will be 100% fit."
How LeGuen must wish he faced such piddling concerns. The Frenchman almost certainly faces the sack after failing to steer Cameroon out of Group E but insists he will not fall until he is pushed. "No, I will not resign we managed to get to the World Cup, there have been some difficulties but after July my bosses will decide," he said. "I
have no regrets. It is not my way of coaching."
When asked about whether he would have changed anything with hindsight, it was as if he was biting his tongue. "I try to work for the best of the Cameroon national team, so either you trust me or you don't.
I tried my best. I have certain information that you don't have." Sadly, Le Guen, perhaps mindful of jeopardising a future pay-off, would not elaborate further. But when the dust has settled on Cameroon's exit, and he is back home in France, he will surely be much more eager to do so.

Paradise Tattoo Gathering Redux
View from the Keystone Lodge, and Johnny of 13 Roses Tattoo, Atlanta.
My trip to the Paradise Tattoo Gathering began even before my bags were packed. The party kicked off in beautiful Keystone, Colorado last Thursday, and I followed along in real time on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Most posted their images with #paradisetattoogathering so it was easy to follow. Check them here.
The photos highlighted the tattoos being created on the convention floor but also what was going on behind the doors of the many seminars -- like 3D works from Chet Zar's sculpture workshop, and portraits in progress from those lucky enough to get into Shawn Barber's sold-out painting class. And naturally there were VIP party pix. Horns-high group photos in various Instagram filters.
I flew out of NYC Friday afternoon. With enough frequent flyer miles, I scored a roomy business class seat. Once settled in for the flight, the grey-haired grandfather sitting next to me smiled and said, "I love your sleeves." Turns out his kids have sleeves of their own. We spent a good portion of our flight making fun of the freaks: the tattoo-free suits getting drunk off the free booze soon after take-off. But I guess I was the freak to some. Heavy tattoo work is not as common outside of coach, and I found myself having to answer (again) the question: What band are you in? Because, ya know, hot towelettes are only for tattooed hands with record deals.
But within hours, I was amongst our people at the Keystone Lodge, with tattoo's rock stars like Bob Tyrrell, Nick Baxter, Durb Morrison, Nikko, Noon, Jeff Gogue, Damon Conklin ... the list goes on. Check the full artist line-up.
Jeremiah Barba tattoo on Mr. Scary.
Throat tattoo by Tim Pangburn on the wonderful tattoo journalist Mary D'Aloisio.
The big buzz Friday afternoon was Adrian Lee's "Bloodwork: Bodies" exhibit. It is a stunning collection of backpieces and bodysuits created by 53 tattooers around the world and documented in meticulous detail. Adrian gave a talk about the work with a slideshow presentation and also signed copies of his must-have book.
The evening closed with a Drink and Draw party, compliments of Graceland Tattoo. Considering how Keystone's high elevation [9,280 feet] was messing with us, I gave props to those who could manage more than a couple of drinks. Lack of oxygen makes for lower bar tabs. I did find myself surrounded by three tattooists taking full advantage of altitude inebriation, and they suckered me in to judging a napkin art contest. There were a lot of animated penis drawings -- all artfully done of course.
Ashley's neck and backpiece by James Kern. Fantastic cover-up work.
Saturday was another full day of tattooing and seminars. One seminar that I found particularly interesting was "The not so secret secrets of the tattoo world" by Kris Richter of Beyond the Ink. The seminar (free to all with admission passes) focused on how to choose the right work and artist, and while beneficial to even long-time collectors, it was really a great primer for those new to the art and especially those trying to navigate the whole convention scene. One of the most popular seminars that day was James Kern's Advanced Cover-Ups For Tattooists. Artists completely packed the room to learn from and get critiqued by the cover-up guru himself. My Copyright, Trademark, and Licensing Seminar with John Kastelic followed James's class, and while far from packed, I had a blast talking tattoo law with a fabulous group of artists. [I was also honored to be included on the tattoo business panel Sunday night.]
Sunday rounded out with the completion of some large-scale tattoo works going on that weekend -- with so many fantastic artists from around the world, attendees took full advantage of the opportunity. But whether local or international, all tattoo artists working there had a reputation for excellence. This curating of tattoo talent is a key component of Gabe Ripley's events. You can't get a bad tattoo at Paradise.
Another component is community -- that friendly, laid-back vibe throughout the show where you feel you are a part of something, kinda like the Island of Misfit Toys except on a mountain and the dolls all look like Tim Burton creations.
We all closed down the lounge of the Keystone Lodge that Sunday night/Monday morning. It was filled with hugs and hook-ups, booming laughs (including my own notorious cackle), and wholehearted promises to connect before the next show. It was a tattoo Shangri-la. Paradise, even.
Gabe's next event is the tattooer-only Paradise Artist Retreat in New Mexico, March 25-28.

Thigh tattoo by Gene Coffey.

Early registration: April 15
Abstract submission (oral): March 15
Abstract submission (poster): May 1
Presenter notification: March 27
Registration for presenters: April 15
Proceedings contributions: June 15
Forests are a unique component of the Biosphere from a historical, environmental, social, economical, and political perspective. Forest sector issues and concerns about the environment and the economy have sparked a renewed interest at local, national and international levels. Given the importance of forests to human well-being and their sensitivity to economic development and to global climate change, it is imperative to establish an inventory of forest resources and monitor their status and trends in order to observe and understand the array of processes taking place and to provide information to the decision-makers responsible for their protection and management. Forest inventory and monitoring programs are challenged to produce unbiased, precise, timely, and cost-efficient estimates of forest attributes and their trends with complementary spatial products from local to global scales. Earth Observation (EO) satellites are important tools to accomplish these tasks.
This conference will serves as an international forum for academic, government, non-governmental, and industrial organizations. Particular emphasis will be on those needs and challenges that can be satisfied or addressed, in whole or in part, by EO data.
Remote sensing satellites can provide a cost-effective means of obtaining EO information in vast, barren, and often inaccessible forested areas. To this end, the American Society of American Foresters, American Statistical Association, Canadian Space Agency, ISPRS, IUFRO, Natural Resource Canada, Natural Resource & Fauna Quebec, NCSI, University of Sherbrooke, and the US Forestry Service have initiated an international conference in Quebec City to discuss, develop, and demonstrate the use of EO data for forest inventory and monitoring.
The strategic objectives of this international forum include:
This exciting conference will be held in beautiful Quebec City, Canada. Please see the accomodations page for details.
* IUFRO: The International Union of Forest Research Organizations is an international network of forest scientists that promotes global cooperation in forest-related research. IUFRO Division 4 includes studies of growth and yield, forest inventory, remote sensing, statistical methods, mathematics, and information technologies.

Just watched a short video produced in the USA about kosher catering that had me guffawing aloud because of its errors. I suppose the goof that had me most heartily chuckling was the statement that the kashrut supervisor is known as the "Mashiach". Last I heard in both Hebrew and Aramaic a kashrut supervisor is a "mashgiach". The "g" (or gimmel if one prefers) is rather critical for kashrut supervisors are far from being the Messiah.

I know (and am able to prove via Stone-Čech compactification) that the following is correct:
Theorem: A metric space is compact if and only if its space of bounded, continuous, real-valued functions is separable in the uniform topology.
I use it in a paper for readers who are presumably not familiar with this kind of topology, so I cannot call it "obvious" or "well-known". I would be thankful for a name and/or good reference to cite this theorem!

If you want comfort and relaxation then a Lazyboy chair is certainly one piece of furniture that you should invest in. Often regarded as the ultimate lads chair, the Lazyboy is a highly comfortable chair that is available for both indoor and outdoor. Consider the body type of the person who will use the chair. If you are buying for a good number of employees, make it a point to choose chairs that you think can accommodate most body types even if you are only planning to purchase standard office chairs.
