They meet every Tuesday at noon for lunch at the Mt. Vernon Restaurant, Lower Broadway. This great organization has been around here in Somerville for over 60 years now. It gives scholarships, grants and aide to various charities in Somerville. Ever wonder what they are all about? Come and join them Thursday evening at the Chamber and you're welcome to attend the luncheon as well every Tuesday at noon.
The Somerville Rotary is also excited to participate in the Annual Polio Plunge, February 9, at Long Beach in Gloucester. Kara Dardeno Mathieu and Frank Scarpa will plunge to help Rotary International eradicate polio in the world. This has been a major goal of Rotary's international work for years and, while there are only three countries left that still have a few cases, Rotary seeks everyone's help to finish the job. To support the plunge please go to the Somerville club's plunge page: https://www.fundraise.com/activity/the-rotary-foundation-of-rotary-international/rotary7930-polar-plunge/team?show=somerville.

Happy Birthday to the following here in the Ville and elsewhere: Eleanor Pye is celebrating and we wish her the best. She comes from a great Somerville family for generations. Another favorite daughter of Somerville celebrates this week, Barbara Snow of the famous Snow family. Brian Murphy, who works for the city at the Highway Department, is enjoying his day as well. Also celebrating this week is Diane Barbosa, another familiar name, or perhaps her last name is Mellissa Oppedisano. We wonder if she's related to Somerville's finest waitresses? Also, Happy Birthday to Patti Foscarota.

Yao Ming … sore foot?
This is not a player the Rockets can afford to lose. This is not an injury this player can take lightly.
Worse yet, this is not the time.
"Anytime you have anything come up like that, especially at this time of the year, I'm concerned," Rockets coach Rick Adelman told Jonathan Feigen before last night's game at Golden State. "He's had problems with his feet. Now is a tough time to come up with something. So we're hoping it's something that will just be a one-game thing and he'll be back on Monday. You're always concerned when you're in this time of year and a player like that can't play. Luckily, we have two days off."
Rockets fans ought to be very worried.
More tests will be done today, but trainer Keith Jones said there is not a bone issue from what they have seen so far.
The guess here is the Rockets will rest Yao for either Monday's game against New Orleans or Wednesday at Dallas — perhaps both — so he will be better heading into the playoffs. That way he'll start the postseason rested, but will his timing be where it will need to be to make sure the Rockets win those first two home games to maintain their home-court edge?
Depending on how Yao feels this weekend, this could be an interesting decision.
Tyson Chandler said via twitter yesterday (sign up and follow me) that he ran more and was jumping a little at practice on Friday. But Chandler, who has been out since mid-March with an ankle injury is unlikely to play this weekend against Dallas or Monday against the Rockets.
Nothing is more frustrating for a baseball team than to leave runners left on base in a winnable game.
Last night — a 5-3 loss to St. Louis — was a frustrating one for the Astros, and especially Hunter Pence.
Pence, moved to No. 2 in the order, left six men on base while striking out twice in a 1-for-5 night.
Today's birthday:
Janeth Arcain (1969): the former Comet was a key member of the now-defunct franchise' four championship squads. A Brazilian National Team star, Arcain could score with the best of them, and was a joy to watch.
Joke of the Day
After reading this piece from the Onion, we have a better understanding of why the Spurs' Manu Ginobili is out for the season. After returning from injury, he wasn't the player he is used to being.
Having returned Tuesday after missing 19 games with an ankle injury, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili expressed frustration with his level of play, saying that his ability to draw offensive fouls by flopping to the floor with little or no provocation was still only at "about 85 percent." … "The ankle is healthy, but my flailing and splaying still aren't where they need to be," said Ginobili, who has begun to practice windmilling his arms and falling backward during shoot-arounds. "I'm used to throwing myself 10, sometimes 12 feet down court. At this point, I'm lucky if I'm getting 8 on a good flop. My wailing is good, but I need to be hitting the floor a lot harder than the guy hit me, if I was hit. I can't catch myself with my hands like I did in the second quarter tonight. That was bush league." .. Ginobili then flung himself out of the locker room, slid backward onto a bus, and tumbled wildly into his suburban home.

Graduates of Arkansas State University's
Master of Education Online Academic Partnership program:
It is a very big day. I'm so excited, my brain is jumping all over the place.
It just had always been a personal goal of mine to go back and get a master's degree, and so this online program gave me that opportunity.
President of ASU:
"I confer upon each of you this Master's Degree, and I declare upon you all the rights and privileges…"
It was directed towards to what I was doing in my own classroom at that time and that makes a huge difference. It wasn't trying to fit a mold. It was what we needed as educators.
I was a little intimidated at first because I'm not that good with computers, but I had some co-workers who encouraged me, and it turned out to be a great experience…a wonderful experience.
I started 20 years ago on my Master's, and then I decided it's time to do it. My kids are in college, so…time to go.
I love the flexibility of setting my own schedule, being able to spend time with my kids in the evening, put them in bed, and then get started on my work. That was the best part, but the clarity of the instruction—I could go back and play the video back again and pause, write down notes, and things like that made it really easier.
I feel like a lot of things I was doing for the classes would actually transfer over immediately into my classroom. It's not something where I had to wait for a degree before I could use it in class.
I had the opportunity to hear about Academic Partnerships, and once I went ot a meeting and looked at it, I said, "this seems to be doable."
I'm an art teacher. I really don't receive that much professional development, so I love how ASU let me step into the role of becoming a principal. I got to see what a principal does every single day, and how much responsibility [they have], and how they handle emergency situations. I got to be in the role of a curriculum coach. I didn't realize how much research was involved—always analyzing data and making sure when you start with a brand new curriculum, how intensive it is.
I teach third grade, and my students are very inspired, "You're in college!" And even my son, he goes around and tells everybody that his mom is in college and he's always encouraging me to continue. He wants me to get my doctorate so he can call me Dr. Mom.
I had always intended to get a Master's, and maybe even a Doctorate, but I thought I would have to wait until my kids finished college, and then I would have to take a leave of absence from school. I haven't had to wait for either of those things in order to get my Master's.
If I had to choose between an on-campus and an online course, I would definitely pick online because it would allow me to continue my outside activities besides work, and I could do it on my own schedule.
One of the main things that this program taught was how to reflect on your lessons. That's not something that I was taught in my undergraduate studies, and that's been a big plus for me.
This was the first time I had ever attempted anything like this, especially online. I'm just amazed that it all happened online, so it was a good experience. It was a wonderful experience. I wouldn't change a thing!

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico is expanding its ability to tap telephone calls and e-mail using money from the US government, a move that underlines how the country's conservative government is increasingly willing to cooperate with United States on law enforcement.
The expansion comes as President Felipe Calderon is pushing to amend Mexico's constitution to allow officials to tap phones without a judge's approval in some cases.
Mexican authorities for years have been able to wiretap most telephone conversations and tap into e-mail, but the new $3 million Communications Intercept System being installed by Mexico's Federal Investigative Agency would expand its reach.
The system would allow authorities to track cellphone users as they travel, according to the contract specifications.
It would include extensive storage capacity and allow authorities to identify callers by voice. The system, scheduled to begin operation within the next month, was paid for by the State Department and sold by
Documents describing the upgrade suggest that the US government could have access to information derived from the surveillance.
Officials of both governments declined to comment on that possibility.
"It is a government of Mexico operation, funded by the US," said Susan Pittman, of the US State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. Questions over its use should be directed to Mexico, she said.
Calderon's office declined comment.
But the US government's contract specifications say the system is designed to allow both governments to "disseminate timely and accurate, actionable information to each country's respective federal, state, local, private and international partners."
Calderon has been lobbying for more authority to use electronic surveillance against drug smuggling.
Already this year, drug wars have cost hundreds of lives and threatened Calderon's ability to govern.
Despite federal troops posted in nine Mexican states, the violence continues as smugglers fight over shipping routes to the US-Mexico border, as well as for control of Mexican port cities and marijuana- and poppy-growing regions inland.

Vladimir Petkovic felt Lazio did well to "grind out the result" against Legia Warsaw, but criticised the fans.
The Biancocelesti opened their Europa League campaign with a 1-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico [12], decided by a Hernanes header.
In the other Group J game, Trabzonspor scraped a last-gasp 2-1 win away to Apollon Limassol.
"Winning a game with the mind more than the quality of our play is very important, as during a season you must learn to hang on tight under pressure to grind out a result," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
"It's certainly good to keep two consecutive clean sheets. I was not worried when we made certain individual errors against Juventus, as aside from those meetings we conceded one goal in four games.
"Other clubs have taken players whose names make more noise, but we have a good squad and I was able to rest several of our internationals today. They are doing specific fitness training that we hope can bring us results.
"It was a shame that there were so few people today, as the team deserves a bigger crowd for its Europa League debut."
This evening Lazio gave teenage talent Keita his full debut and the former Barcelona youth team prodigy provided the decisive assist.
"An 18-year-old can be a little nervous at the start of the game, but as time went on he gained in confidence and I am pleased he ran all the way up the field to set up the goal.
"Konko has tactical intelligence, while Cavanda is improving and slowly getting back on form after missing a few games. Everyone needs to keep on improving and doing better each time."
Lazio face Roma in the Derby della Capitale on Sunday afternoon and Petkovic urged calm.
"We must all help calm the situation around the Derby by focusing on positives and trying to ignore the more negative sides of the build-up."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – A popular BBQ restaurant is closing down in the Smoketown neighborhood.
Smoketown USA announced on their Facebook page that they are closing down their doors.
Below is the statement that they released on Facebook:
"In the fall of 2002, Eric David Gould had a crazy idea. He thought he could buy and renovate the civil war era building at the corner of Logan and Oak Streets and open a business that would help rejuvenate the neighborhood.
Everyone he know told him it was a terrible idea and that it would never work. But, Eric is an entrepreneur and a person who believes that hard work and dedication will bring results. He and his wife spent the next four years renovating the building and in May of 2007 Smoketown USA opened its doors.
Almost a decade later, we are proud to be able to say that Smoketown USA has been a success and that his goal has been achieved.
Eric, who most of you know as "The Redneck Jew", has a mind that constantly churns out ideas and inventions. He has decided to close the restaurant in order to pursue new adventures. (of course, it is now bow season so he will likely spend the rest of the year hunting and fishing, lol)
We want to express our gratitude to everyone who helped in making this venture a success. Our families and friends have given us unconditional and invaluable support. We are so grateful to our wonderful and loyal customers. We have met many interesting and awesome people and so many of you have become friends. We thank the local media for their continuous support through these years and thank Food Network for featuring Smoketown USA on two of their shows, Southern Fried Road Trip and Guilty Pleasures.
It has been a wild ride!!We never could have made it without all of your help.
Thank you, thank you so very much.
And, don't despair! Eric has plans in 2017 that will local events that feature Smoketown USA so you will have plenty of opportunities to get your Smoketown fix!! And who knows what Eric will bring us next?
With love and gratitude, we bid you farewell for now.
ShalomEric and Lynn"

You can do so much with fruits for more value
Friday March 11 2016
The fresh fruit business is high-risk and unstable because of the seasonality and perishability of the produce.
Therefore, post-harvest losses are normally high, especially during transport, when off-loading and when the produce fails to get market.
Majority of farmers sell their produce either on the farm or through local markets, exposing themselves to exploitation by middlemen due to perishability of their fruits.
But such losses can be minimised if farmers embraced value addition.
Fruit jams are a major way farmers can add value to their produce and earn more money.
The jam is a thick puree mixture of fruit, sugar and often pectin.
The process starts with one selecting fresh ripe fruits followed by washing and drying before removing the seeds. Then add equal amounts of sugar to the fruit pulp.
Add lemon seeds and boil until it passes the 'setting test', which proves the jam is ready.
Process of making fruit jam
In jam making, the 'setting test' is where a teaspoon of jam is dripped onto a clean glass plate. The jam is then cooled before the plate is lifted and slanted.
If the jam slides down the plate, then it is not ready. If it moves slowly and is jelly like and sticky, it is ready.
To make the jam reach the 'setting' stage, one can add a handful of citrus fruit seeds to the boiling pulp in a small cotton or net bag. The pectin from the seeds helps the jam set.
After the boiling, the seeds should be removed and thrown away. Modern jam making recipes regularly require one to add a commercially available setting agent, normally natural pectin.
The more pectin one adds, the faster a jam should set thus the shorter the 'cooking time'. A jam that has set is ready for packaging.
Jam jars and lids should be sterilised by boiling in water for five minutes and leaving to drip dry.
Fill the jam in the jars when it is still hot, thereafter, immerse the container into boiling water for 10 minutes to ensure pasteurisation.
Remove the jars from the boiling water and allow it to cool before labelling. Jams should be stored in a cool place before transportation to market.
Fruits with less acid require pectin
Different fruits have different sugar and acidity levels. Fruits with less acid require pectin to set whereas jams from acidic citrus fruits generally do not require it.
Jams from citrus fruits are referred to as marmalades and can be made inclusive or exclusive of the fruit peels.
Marmalades that combine the skins of the fruits have to some extent bitter taste due to the citrus oils in the skin. This can be avoided by peeling the fruit. Jams can be made from the following fruits; plums, apples, pineapples, guavas, strawberries, raspberries, mulberries, papaya and mangoes.
On the other hand, marmalades can be made from the following citrus fruits; limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruit. Jams are normally used as bread or toast spreads and dessert sweeteners.
However, it has many other uses including acting as a great pancake topping. It could also be used as a sweetener in hot tea.
A mixture of one tablespoon of jam to one tablespoon vinegar and three tablespoons oil makes a good salad dressing. Jams are also used to make simple syrup for cocktails whereby a tablespoon is placed in a shot glass and covered with vodka or rum.
The writer is based at the Department of Dairy and Food Science, Egerton University.

Ever since android made its debut in the smartphone industry and tablet industry, it was only a matter of time before it became the leading player. Back in March 2011, android commanded a huge percentage of 29% of the market share of smartphones in the US. Although this is not quite as much as being the majority, it was way ahead of its competitors in the market. The previous leader BlackBerry toppled to 27% and Apple remained at 27% still during that time. The rise of the market share for android has been similar worldwide and it has been gaining growth continuously.
A month later it was witnessed that android was steadily gaining so much growth and being not only the dominant player in the market but almost reaching the 50% market share mark. Analysts forecasted that in all the more than 400 million smart phones going to be shipped by the end of the year, android will own a significant 49% of the market share easily with other players following behind it; iOS with around 18% and RIM by BlackBerry 12%. There are other players in the smartphone industry but the mentioned ones are the strongest ones with Microsoft Windows and Symbian by Nokia lagging behind.
For ever smart phone bought by consumers two were running on android OS for the best part of this year. This trend was witnessed in many parts of the global market. That fact that android is an open source operating system with many developers creating apps for the android devices has catapulted the sales of the android devices. Anyone who is knowledgeable on how to create application software for the android devices can easily do that which is another factor that has increased the market share of the devices. The recent study shows that android market share is almost taking the 50% share lead.
The research shows that out of all smart phones shipped in the second quarter of the year; almost 52 million of them were android devices which accounted for 49% of all smart phones sold that time. one major factor that makes android the most promising software in the smartphone market is the fact that it is able to run on multiple vendor devices compared to the second leading market player iOS from Apple. The growth of android in the market has exceeded expectations by far for many other industry watchers. It is expected that although still iOS is the leading player in the smartphone and mobile device market, with time and a short time for that matter, android is going to catch up and become the leading market player that is if things continue as they have been witnessed in the last two years.
Many people have now turned to smart phones and devices for their communication and other functions at home and in the office or school. All market players have to keep getting innovative to give the consumer what they really want in their smart phones and devices.

Las Cruces, NM – New Mexico Spaceport Authority (NMSA) officials announced today that a site for the Sierra County Spaceport Welcome Center in Truth or Consequences, NM (T or C) has been chosen by the NMSA Welcome Center Site Source Selection Committee and approved by the NMSA Board. Meanwhile, the committee opted against selecting the only proposed location for the Welcome Center in Hatch, NM for not adequately meeting the criteria of the Welcome Center Site Selection Request for Proposals (RFP).
The NMSA Welcome Center Source Selection Committee recommended that the NMSA Board select a 6.254 acre parcel about half a mile off Interstate 25 Exit 75, offered by the City of T or C. The site was selected based on its close proximity to and visibility from Interstate 25, low cost and strong value to the State of New Mexico. The location was selected from six sites that were submitted to the Source Selection Committee through a RFP issued by the NMSA on May 17, 2012. Two of the proposals received were not evaluated due to their locations outside the perimeters of the city – a requirement of both the RFP and an MOU between NMSA and Sierra County. The purchase price of the land from the City of T or C was $151,195.
"This site, located just off of I-25 on the way into the T or C downtown area, is a win – win for the whole community," said T or C Mayor John Mulcahy.
The NMSA Welcome Center Source Selection Committee only received and reviewed one proposal for a six-acre site in Hatch and recommended no contract award at this time due to the low score the site received. Shortcomings include a lack of access roads, utilities and other infrastructure to the site, the low visibility from I-25 going north, and the site's location in a flood plain. The NMSA board approved the recommendation to make no awards for a Hatch site at this time.
"The NMSA will continue to work with the Village of Hatch to identify a suitable Spaceport America Welcome Center site," said NMSA Executive Director Christine Anderson.
About Spaceport America:
Spaceport America is the first purpose-built commercial spaceport in the world. The launch complex has been providing commercial vertical launch services since 2006, and is situated on 18,000 acres adjacent to the U.S. Army White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico.

New Watch Lets Parents Track Their Kids
September 21, 2009 | Posted in Geospatial, Handy Tools | By Wally Atkins
From Slashdot:
A company called Lok8u ("Locate You") has come up with a clever watch that serves as a GPS tracking device for your kids. Now, we can quickly ask the question of "how paranoid are we as a society?" but at the same time we can say, "Man, I wish I had something like this in my watch whenever I misplace the darn thing!" I have little ones and ponder over whether investing in something like this makes sense or not. I probably won't wind up getting any of these but it's neat to see ideas like these come along … I'm sure they will do well in the market.
Funny excerpt from the Slashdot forum on this topic:
Personally I wouldn't use this for teenagers because at that age, they have matured enough that they deserve a little privacy
Exactly – if you put the wristwatch on a teenage boy, all they'll find is that he's spending most of his time in the bathroom rapidly jumping back and forth about 4″ at a time.
Ahh, nothing like a little potty humor on a Monday morning.

IU Student Among Dead In Malaysian Airlines Flight 17
By Mike Perleberg
(Bloomington, Ind.) – There is an Indiana connection to the tragedy of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in eastern Ukraine.
One of the victims was a 25-year-old doctoral student at Indiana University and a former member of the women's rowing team.
Karlin Keijzer was an Amsterdam native who had gone home for a brief vacation from her pursuit of a doctorate in chemistry. She was scheduled to take classes in Bloomington this Fall.
IU President, Michael McRobbie called her an outstanding student and a talented athlete and said her passing is a loss to the campus and the university.
"On behalf of the entire Indiana University community, I want to express my deepest sympathies to Karlijn's family and friends over her tragic death," McRobbie said.
Keijzer's professors called her a bright star in the IU constellation and a diligent researcher.
"She was a kind, happy young woman full of ideas about the future. She inspired us all with her optimism about how science will make Earth a better place," said her doctoral advisor, Mu-Hyun Baik, associate professor of chemistry and informatics.
As an athlete, Keijzer participated with the Varsity 8 womens rowing team for IU in 2011, a season in which the Hoosiers compiled a 14-5 record. A talented rower in the Netherlands, she was recruited to row at IU even though she had only one year of eligibility.
"Karlijn was the 'stroke' of the Varsity 8 boat for us," said coach Stever Peterson. "That is the person who sets the rhythm for the boat and everyone follows her. She was unquestionably the leader of the best boat we had that year. It was the first boat that got us into the national rankings and had a great season. It also helped propel our program towards the success that we had this past season, and we all know that we can trace it back to that boat that was led by Karlijn."
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is pushing for an immediate ceasefire in the region of Ukraine where the Malaysia Airlines jet crashed Thursday. Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby remarked that it's the only way to guarantee the safety of inspectors and recover the bodies of nearly 300 people who died in the tragedy.
Kirby said the best evidence seems to show that the jet was shot down by a surface-to-air missile.

Early Man, 'Death Potion' — New Album
Thrash revivalists Early Man will release their second album, 'Death Potion,' on July 20. The album was recorded in Seattle at Soundhouse Recording with producer Jack Endino (High on Fire, Skeletonwitch, 3 Inches of Blood).
Like the band's 2005 debut, 'Closing In,' the new album is rooted in the rapid-fire riffs and crushing rhythms of bands like Exodus, Overkill, Testament and Trouble. But this time, Early Man are digging a little deeper under the skin.
"There's a lot of angst and urgency that comes out in this record, musically, vocally, lyrically and creatively," said Early Man vocalist and guitarist Mike Conte. "It's a very raw, honest record, which I think sadly has become extremely rare within heavy metal. It means something. It stands for something. I don't like making records just for the sake of making records. For me, the songs have to come from somewhere real artistically, and that is very much the case with 'Death Potion.'"
While Early Man spent ample time writing new songs for the album, Endino helped them fine tune the material and mold it into a sonically lethal brew. "Working with Jack Endino was great," said guitarist Pete Macy. "If something was good, he was
happy, but if something sucked, he let you know. Once we got everything sounding right, he was really good at bringing out the best in us, helping us find the extra touches each song needed to take it to the next level. This record has the best songwriting and the best playing from Early Man yet. It's really killer, and I'm stoked for everyone to hear it."
"Anyone that has liked us live in the past few years is going to be psyched on 'Death Potion,'" added drummer Adam Bennati. "People are saying the songs are heavier and faster, but I think you're going to have to just check it out yourself. I can't wait for people to hear this record."
The 'Death Potion' track 'Someone Else's Nightmare' is now streaming on Early Man's MySpace.
'Death Potion' track list
1. 'Death Potion'
2. 'Brainwash at Birth'
3. 'Someone Else's Nightmare'
4. 'Nine Riders'
5. 'Fight'
6. 'Unseen Tormentor'
7. 'Through Chemtrails'
8. 'The Undertaker is Calling You'
9. 'Killdrone'
10. 'I Am the Child of Evil'
11. 'By the Serpents Breath You Seeth'
12. 'Six Mothers of the War God'

We were only planning on spending a couple of weeks surfing Baja, but its mystery and magic lured us in for almost two months.
What was so great about it? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, here are our twenty favorite moments in Baja as seen through our lens.
#20: The Tides of Punta Banda
Allowing your time to be dictated by nature's breath instead of a clock. 'Nough said. But if you want to know more about it, you can check out the story of how we thought we were pregnant for a few days.
#19: Pelicans at Shipwreck
They lined themselves up on the rocky shore every morning for sunrise. A social ritual of sorts, where they groomed themselves,yawned, and mostly stayed completely silent while tolerating the presence of a few stray Cormorants crashing the party.
#18: Random Finds in the Desert
There's a lot of desert, and a lot of failed or abandoned projects. You'll never know what you'll run into. Elaborate motorway altars, dead cows seemingly months into their decomposition, and the occasional, completely abandoned structure with a mysterious history.
#17: Bonfires Under Scorpion Bay's Full Moon
The swell lit up almost as clear as in the day, the surfboard taking a temporary rest, the cow skull decoration, the Mexican blankets for a midnight yoga session. Sure burning driftwood is technically carcinogenic, but from time to time, it's just necessary.
#16: Scorpion Bay's Endless Waves
Scorpion bay lives up to its legend. The locals complained because a recent hurricane has swept out the sand bottom and left holes in the wave, and sure, it was tricky, but if what we saw was a "bad day" at Scorpion Bay, we can only imagine….
#15: Sharing the Beaches Only With Birds
It's hard to deny that one of Baja's major draws is its complete solitude. How many beaches did we drift into where our only neighbors were birds? So many we can't recall. This specific moment was captured at Punta Conejo. The surf was no good while we were there, but the swirling gull flocks made us feel like wizards
#14: The Ever-Changing Landscape
Always changing and somehow always the same, the longer you stay here the more your perception gets acquainted to the subtleties that make Baja California such an incredible place to witness.
#13: Hunting for Shooting Stars
The most incredible skies I've seen personally out of the New Mexico altiplane, when you look at a nighttime satellite image of the region you realize there's just no light pollution, and rain here is infrequent. The conditions in Baja are perfect for stargazing, well, almost every single night.
#12: The Incredible Sunsets
We're used to sunrises, but when you're on the West Coast, you have to go with the flow and start admiring the sunsets over the ocean instead. Baja's intricate weather patterns never fail to disappoint with its cloud formations and colors. Just wow.
#11: The Bird Refuge of Guererro Negro
Most people come here for whale watching, and the town itself might be the least interesting of all of Baja, but if you look a little deeper, and away from the salt flats, you'll find one of the most refreshing landscapes in all of Baja in Guererro Negro, the bird refuge and its hectares of unspoiled grassy marshes. We could have spent months just here observing all the bird species going about their daily lives in this unusually wet part of the peninsula.
#10: The Golden Beach of Punta Banda
The only people who seem to know about this beach are the gringos who've claimed the land to line up their mansions along the shore like birds on a wire. But the homes remain vacant most of the year, leaving this beach with unusually warm waters due to thermal springs and its shimmery golden sand completely deserted for the enjoyment of anyone smart enough to steer clear of Papas & Beer and venture south a bit.
#9: The Flaming Sunrises
While the sunsets on the west coast drop into the ocean, the sunrises come up over the jagged hills and highlight intricate details in depth and intense shades of crimson. We can't get enough of them.
#8: The Shipwreck in the Lineup
Not only is the wave here particularly good for anyone looking for a chill long wave, but how awesome is it to have this unique sculpture right in the lineup? You'll find no services here at Shipwreck, but it's all the better for it.
#7: Golden Birds with Funny Beaks
They're called Long-Billed Curlews and they fly in graceful flocks. When the sun is behind them, the light glows golden through their intricate wings. They have the cutest chirps and are as agile with their beaks as a kungfu master with chop sticks. We're in love.
#6: The Shallow Bay of Balandra
Tourists are brought here in bus loads to go gawk at an upside downstone that fell over a while back and was propped back up with some rebar and concrete. We're sure it was impressive once, but what we loved about Balandra Bay was, get this, the bay itself. Noseeums make this place impossible to bear past sunset, but during the day, you can just walk across the bay in the waist-deep waters. Do shuffle your feet and keep you eyes peeled for stingrays hiding under the sand.
#5: The Magnificent Drives
There was a time when driving Baja was an expedition, and while you still need to be well prepared, the mostly well-kept highway one which spans the length of the peninsula includes some of the most beautiful drives we've experienced so far.
#4: The Untamed and Unafraid Wildlife
A lot of the animals in Baja have never experienced our destructive force. It's incredibly rewarding to be able to come so close to animals so wild and exotic in nature one would normally have to hike for days to find in other parts of the world. How Majestic is this Northern Crested Caracara?
#3: Nine Palms' Perfect Swell
The whole west coast has perfect surf, just not necessarily when you decide to pull up to it. Well, we got to Nine Palms in East Cape at just the right time. The waves were a long, peeling, almost head high lovelies that we just couldn't stop riding. Stoked to have experienced this magnificent wave at such a perfect time.
#2: Swimming with Sea Lions
Bahia de Los Angeles was really special to us. The bay is full of wildlife, and my personal favorite part of the time we spent there was paddling out on my longboard and sitting really still while Sea Lions went about catching their dinner all around me. I mean literally ALL around me. Once in a lifetime.
#1: Whale Watching in San Ignacio
It's the stuff legends are made of. With our terrible track record as a species, who knows how long we'll be able to keep San Ignacio a refuge for these incredible creatures, but whale watching here is incredible, responsible, and absolutely worth every penny. Hundreds of whales reside in these waters, and some just love to come right up to your boat to say Hi! Don't miss it for any reason in the world.

Mass extinction's cause: 'Sick Earth'
USC earth scientists turn up clues to explain disappearance of 90 percent of ancient species
What really caused the largest mass extinction in Earth's history?
USC earth scientists will reveal new clues at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Philadelphia Oct. 22-25.
The Permian-Triassic extinction, as it is called, is not the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. Nor does the cause appear to have been a meteorite strike, as in that famous event.
The most likely explanation for the disappearance of up to 90 percent of species 250 million years ago, said David Bottjer, is that "the earth got sick."
Bottjer, professor of earth sciences in the USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, leads a research group presenting several new pieces of the P-T extinction puzzle.
Matthew Clapham, a recent Ph.D. graduate of Bottjer's laboratory, has found that species diversity and environmental changes were "decoupled" long before the extinction. Conditions on the planet were deteriorating long before species began to die off, Bottjer said, casting doubt on the meteorite strike theory.
"People in the past used to think this big mass extinction was like a car hitting a wall," he said. Instead, Clapham's interpretation of the geological record shows "millions of years of environmental stress."
Pedro Marenco, a doctoral student in Bottjer's lab, has been testing a leading theory for the P-T extinction: that a warming of the earth and a slowdown in ocean circulation made it harder to replace the oxygen sucked out of the water by marine organisms. According to the theory, microbes would have saturated the water with hydrogen sulfide, a highly toxic chemical.

FK – This is about the last 'financial' warning/advisor/the end is coming soon thing I waste, uh, spend any time on. I got tired of hearing Celente et al say 'April' or 'next year.' I expected 2008 fallout to be far worse.
The next one, uh big one, whatever, will feature high ammo and cheap slaves. Food will be whatever you can catch. But then I've been hearing that most of my adult life from the 'The Day After' to 'The Road.' My fav was 'A Boy and hIs Dog.'He kept his priorities straight.
And I have no respect for those who profit from others' misery. A few years back a 'friend' made an offhand comment that buying people's property on the courthouse steps because they couldn't pay their property taxes would be a good way to make money.
"People who do that deserve to be shot," was my answer to him. He gave me a look and shut up.

Mets News:
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN, "Since John Lannan already has more than five years of MLB service. And that normally would mean Lannan cannot be sent to the minors without his consent. But before Lannan was added to the Opening Day roster, the Mets had Lannan sign an "advance consent" waiver. That means Lannan preauthorized the Mets to send him to the minors at any point during the first 45 days of the season -- which also would negate receiving his full $1.5 million big-league salary, which otherwise would have been guaranteed."
He may be seeing the minor league pastures soon as his relief woes continue...as Adam Rubin describes it..
Lannan has been converted to relief for the first time in his career this season, has struggled in the role.
Lannan now has allowed four runs, four hits and a walk while recording only three outs this season. He allowed a Freddie Freeman single Wednesday Night in the 4-3 Loss, It was his only batter he faced... His ERA is now 36.00

Model: Masuimi Max
Wardrobe by Lory Sun
Shannon Brooke is primarily a Northern Cali based photographer focusing on commercial portraiture. Shooting everything from fashion to portraiture to music and advertising, her diversity is endless. For over a decade, she has worked with some of the most talented models, celebrities, and designers in the alternative industry. Her images have been published internationally on the covers of over 100 publications, and she recently started an office out of Sacramento, California. Previously a lead photographer at West Coast Choppers and Hot Topic, Inc., she is now a full time freelancer working on her own publications.
Sinical Magazine: Can you talk about your collaboration with Working Class Publishing on the book "Girls"?
Shannon Brooke: My most cherished collaboration in my career so far has been with WCP. They have made my lifetime goal a reality, and "Girls" was just as important to them as it was to me. It was my first solo publication, and I was their first signed author. Together, we obsessed over the details and we learned so much about making a beautiful picture book. They treat me like an artist they truly care about, not just another artist to make money off of. (If that makes sense!) They are loyal, honest, and extremely patient. I tend to be very picky about details and final picture output quality, and WCP was willing to work with me through all my crazy choices. So much that we will be collaborating again on a book this year!
Sinical Magazine: What type of equipment are you currently working with? Have you experimented with any new technology?
Shannon Brooke: Actually, I have been taking away more and more technical, and adding more natural light. If I can light with anything but strobes at the moment, I am jumping on the opportunity. I just lit the new Pleaser Pinup Couture Shoe campaign with old hollywood style hot lights. (actually a single powerful hot light) The campaign should be released this month starring models Gia Genevieve and Vintage Vandal.
Model: Bo Vixxen
Makeup and hair by Jasmine Cardenas
Wardrobe by Dainty Rascal
Sinical Magazine: Have you come across any art or movies that have inspired you recently?
Shannon Brooke: Movies always inspire me! I love a good glamour image mixed with some gore or horror, so Neon Demon was a great new movie to get inspired from...visually. Also, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. (Yes, I just watched that movie for the first time this year. What an amateur!) I also just did a shoot inspired by Beyonce's music video "Why Don't You Love Me?" Which was heavily inspired by Bettie Page.
Sinical Magazine: How much preparation goes into your shoots?
Shannon Brooke: It depends. Sometimes I storyboard an entire shoot: poses, wardrobe, makeup and hair, composition...it could take a week! Other times I show up and know exactly what I wanna shoot when I get there and see the setting and natural light. I work very well both ways. Prepared and on the fly.
Model: Ginny Rosewater
Make up by Maddie Groshek
Hair by Tiffany Raelene\
Sinical Magazine: How do you approach a black and white photo set as opposed to an indoor/color set?
Shannon Brooke: It depends on the tone separation in the actual setting. Sometimes shooting black and white is a better bet if I'm at a higher ISO or if the colors are not popping enough. I can always add black and white filters to add tonal range. I love infrared filters and red/green filters to add tonal range.
Sinical Magazine: What are the stories behind some of the photos in this layout?
Shannon Brooke: Bo Vixxen's shoot was shot way late in the day, and I only had maybe 30 minutes to get the few shots you see here. Totally worth it, because the light was so pretty before sunset. All natural. The Pontiac in the photo was perfect, except for the fact that we couldn't close the hood properly! haha, the joy of shooting old cars...
Twistin' Bangs shot in the mid century modern home with the dramatic cry makeup was inspired by the Beyonce video "Why Don't You Love Me?" Also, that home was perfectly styled, one of the most beautiful MCM homes I have ever seen and shot in. Huge thanks to Katie Monachos for letting us shoot in her stellar home.
Model: Jenna Sue
Makeup & Hair by Bonnie Holly
Sinical Magazine: Can you talk about your other favorite camera subject: hot rods?
Shannon Brooke: Honestly, I don't know anything about hot rods. But I can light and shoot them with a girl like nobodies business! There is just something sexy about the lines of a car matching the curvy lines of a woman's body that just speaks to me. Also, I love vintage styling, and what could be a better prop than a vintage classic in the background?
Sinical Magazine: What projects are you working on for 2017?
Shannon Brooke: My next book will be released this April at Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender #20. Hot Rod and Moto- inspired work! Also, I ended my 2016 with a huge bang! After years of being inspired by pinup and burlesque queen, Dita Von Teese, I got to shoot her in her lovely home December 30th, 2016. Definitely a milestone, and I can't wait to share what this "glamour mission" entailed.

Custody dispute arising from a civil union breakup an early test of some of the legal ramifications of Vermont's civil unions law
MONTPELIER, Vt. A woman embroiled in a child custody battle with her former civil union partner said Sunday, Jan. 14 she would ask a judge to order that she be given "full physical custody" of a child born to the other woman.
Janet Jenkins of Fair Haven also said she had obeyed a child support order issued last month and had just arranged her second $240 monthly payment to Lisa Miller of Winchester, Va., for the care of Isabella, the now 4-year-old girl born during the women's civil union.
Jenkins said she sent the first check by certified mail, only to have it returned, and tried to make the second payment through an Internet bill-paying service.
Jenkins said she expected that the dissolution of her civil union with Miller will be made final in April. As part of the final order, she said, she planned to ask for full custody, allowing for supervised visits between Miller and Isabella.
She said she would tell the court "that [Miller has] kidnapped and blocked me for two years from my child."
They were the latest developments in a long-running legal battle that at times had pitted courts in Vermont and Virginia against one another and which has gained national attention as an early test of some of the legal ramifications of Vermont's civil unions law.
Vermont in 2000 became the first state in the nation to offer legal recognition to same-sex relationships when it passed a law allowing civil unions. At the same time, it set up a process called dissolution similar to divorce when such unions are ended.
Jenkins and Miller, then living in Virginia, which does not recognize civil unions, traveled to Vermont and entered a civil union in 2001. In April 2002, Miller gave birth to Isabella by artificial insemination.
The women moved to Vermont but their relationship foundered. Miller filed for a dissolution of the civil union in the Rutland Family Court and returned to Virginia with Isabella. She blocked Jenkins' efforts to see Isabella.
Since then, the legal battle has played out on parallel tracks in the two states.
Miller won a Virginia court order declaring her Isabella's sole parent and that, because Virginia doesn't recognize civil unions, Jenkins had no legal relationship with the child.
But Jenkins won a favorable ruling in Virginia Nov. 28, when an appeals court ruled that Vermont courts hold sway under the principle that states honor one another's custody orders.
Vermont has treated the case much like a standard divorce and custody battle. Rutland Family Court Judge William Cohen in November found Miller in contempt of court for failing to allow Jenkins to visit the girl, ordering Miller to pay more than $9,000 in fines and costs.
That order has been stayed while further appeals are pending in Virginia.

Did A Volcanic Eruption Inspire Munch's 'The Scream?'
In May 1883, the volcano on the tiny, uninhabited island Krakatoa, in what today is Indonesia, showed signs of activity. By summer, loud noises and glowing clouds were reported. On August 26, the volcano began to erupt, and the next day it exploded in one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions in modern history.

Slow cookers are among the most useful kitchen tools out there. They're perfect for big batches of soups and stews; just set 'em and forget 'em. But did you know you can also use your Crock Pot to make low-calorie macaroni and cheese? Here's our slow-cooker mac 'n cheese that won't weigh you down.

Step 1: Pick the Right Pasta

My go-to pasta for mac 'n cheese is high-fiber elbow macaroni. You get that classic shape with the added bonus of filling fiber. Look for brands with 2 grams of fiber or more per serving. Even better if it's made with healthy whole grains. Five ounces (about 1 1/2 cups) is a good amount for a 5-serving slow-cooker meal. Don't worry if that doesn't seem like enough pasta... We'll supersize this dish with other ingredients!

Step 2: Boil the Macaroni, but Only Halfway

The trick to tasty slow-cooker mac 'n cheese is to partly precook the pasta. You want it very al dente before it goes into the slow cooker. About 4 minutes in a pot of boiling water will do the trick. Drain it thoroughly, so you don't water down the cheese sauce.

Step 3: Select Your Supersizer

One of my top tricks for making guilt-free mac 'n cheese is to supersize the portion with veggies. But not just any veggies! You want ones that blend into the dish and don't have any distracting flavors. Cubed butternut squash has a slightly sweet taste and velvety texture that works really well in mac 'n cheese. But my favorite vegetable to use in mac 'n cheese is definitely cauliflower. The taste is mild, and the texture is similar to the pasta! Four cups of small cauliflower florets is the perfect amount to balance out that macaroni.

By the way, cauliflower is also a great supersizer for mashed potatoes, and it makes the perfect rice swap!

Step 4: Craft Your Cheese Sauce

Now that we have the mac part taken care of, let's move on to cheese! I'm a fan of The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese. It's low in calories and the perfect base for a creamy cheese sauce. Five wedges will do the trick. Reduced-fat cheddar (3 slices) and grated Parmesan (just a tablespoon or so) are also good additions. Next, add a little milk, about 1/2 cup. Go for fat-free skim milk to keep the calories low. Then add a couple of tablespoons of light sour cream for creaminess, and some seasonings for flavor. We like to keep it simple with salt, pepper, and a little bit of chopped garlic.

If you can't get enough of cheese, try healthy snacks that cheese lovers will flip for.

Step 5: Slow Cook It!

Add the al dente pasta, veggie supersizers, and cheese sauce to your slow cooker, then give it a gentle stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours, until veggies are tender and pasta is fully cooked.

Now you have a complete recipe for Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese, made with both cauliflower and butternut squash!

More Recipe Ideas

Spice it up. If you like a little kick, add some thinly sliced jalapeño peppers (seeds removed) to your mac 'n cheese.

Make it veggie-rific. In addition to that cauliflower and/or butternut squash, roast up some broccoli or Brussels sprouts to add to your mac 'n cheese. It'll be super supersized, and the roasted veggies will add more flavor!

Make mac 'n cheeseburger. Add raw lean ground turkey or raw extra-lean ground beef to the slow cooker before you cook it up. It's like a cross between mac 'n cheese and a juicy burger!

Just what you've bean waiting for...
I've just finished working on a logo and branding for a new fruit and veg shop called Dig-in on Church Road in St George, Bristol. It's been really fun and I'm very pleased with the result!
Alex and Chloe wanted a logo that was fresh and lively which incorporated an illustrated vegetable and would be suited to their interior which is decked out with reclaimed wood and lovely bits.
In a couple of weeks I'll be heading down to paint the sign for the front of the shop. Pretty excited about that...and tasting their new crunchy apples from Taunton.

This is another guest post from my friend Seana Turner of the Seana Method. Seana is a Professional Organizer – she's actually the President of the Connecticut Chapter of NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers).
She has guest posted for me before – a while back she helped us out with a post on managing the mail. now she is back with some new tips. Digital life is complicated – so Seana has a great 30-day challenge to help you get your devices and your entire digital life under control! This is a great theme for Spring. Let's do a bit of Spring cleaning and clear out those old photos, unused apps, and all those obsolete charges hanging around your house.
30 Day Digital De-Clutter Challenge
Modern life is complicated. The advent of digital technology has brought wonderful capabilities, but also created new time and organizing challenges. In addition to physical clutter, we now face a build up of digital debris. Since much of this doesn't take up visible space, we tend to ignore it.
However, having an organized digital life is important: it keeps your devices running efficiently, and enables you to effectively access and backup your digital information.
Many clients have expressed frustration with getting their digital lives in order. In response, I created this 30-day challenge to ease the process. Each day describes one small project to move you toward digital clarity. I've added in links for helpful tools along the way. The challenge was originally designed to start on a Monday, but you can begin whenever it is convenient for you.
I hope you find this process both rewarding and empowering.
Day 5: Clear "Downloads" Folder
Day 17: Gaming & Entertainment
Day 20: Computers & Monitors
I wish you joy as you work toward bringing order to your digital life!
