Cauliflower Bride
This bridal beauty will catch everyone's attention! "She's fun to make," says Sue Bowler of Simi Valley, California. "I used her as a centerpiece at a shower, and the guests loved her."
Total TimePrep: 45 min.
Makes1 centerpiece
- 3 green onions
- 3 medium carrots
- Toothpicks
- 1 Styrofoam cone (9 inches x 4 inches)
- 1 to 2 medium parsnips
- 1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
- 1 Styrofoam egg (about 4 inches)
- 2 frozen peas, thawed
- 1 small sweet red pepper
- Tulle
- MAKING GREEN ONION FLOWERS: Cut the root end from green onions, reserving one root end and discarding the other two. Cut a 2-1/2-in. piece from the white portion of each onion; discard the remaining portion of onion. Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut onions lengthwise into thin strips to within 1/2-in. of one end. Fill a large bowl with ice water; add onions and refrigerate until curled.
- MAKING CARROT HAIR AND FLOWERS: Peel the carrots. Set one aside for flowers. Trim ends from remaining carrots. Using a vegetable peeler or metal cheese slicer, cut carrots into very thin lengthwise strips. Roll into curls; secure with toothpicks. Place in ice water for 30 minutes.
- Use reserved carrot to make three flowers. Hold a tender medium carrot with the tip pointed down. Using a small sharp knife, make a rounded cut at an angle toward the tip of the carrot, forming a petal. Do not slice all the way through. Rotate the carrot a quarter turn and make another petal. Repeat two more times. Twist carrot to snap off flower.
- MAKING BOUQUET: Break a toothpick in half; attach to a carrot flower. Attach flower about 3-1/2 in. down from the peak of the cone. Repeat with the remaining carrot flowers and green onion flowers.
- MAKING BODY: Use toothpicks to attach vegetables to each other and to cone. For arms, peel the parsnips. From the stem end, cut two 1-1/4-in. pieces and two 3/4-in. pieces. Set aside remaining parsnip. Attach one longer piece to a shorter one to form an arm as shown in photo. Repeat with remaining two pieces; attach to the cone for arms. Cover cone with caulifloweretes to form dress.
- MAKING HEAD: Attach Styrofoam egg to top of cone using two toothpicks. Attach peas for eyes. Cut reserved onion root end in half; attach above peas for eyebrows. Trim a piece of parsnip for nose. Cut red pepper to form lips.
- Carefully remove toothpicks from carrot curls. Attach to head with toothpicks to form the hair. Attach tulle for veil. Store in the refrigerator.

Kale Ingram has gone from a guy I couldn't give less of a shit about to one of the best characters on TV. It's not really fair to the other characters on Rubicon to hold him up as a sign of all of the things the show has been doing well for the past few episodes, but I do. The reason it's not fair is because Kale is the character on the show who's automatically the most interesting to the audience. He's the guy that has the most information we want, but he's also the guy who doesn't have all of it. What knowledge he has is patchy, and he has to make a few leaps to cover over the gaps in his information, but he's the one holding the most cards. Is he playing Will? Is Truxton his true boss? Is he trying to play all sides at once, the better to come out of all of this alive? What do we really know about Kale Ingram?
The "Benjamin Linus role" (just to use the most recent take on the man who doesn't know everything but knows just enough to make himself valuable to all players) is a meaty one for an actor who can offer up an air that oozes menace yet somehow remain just friendly enough to make sure that he wouldn't be taken off the board entirely. There's always a sense in the show that Kale is dancing around the edges of things, that he doesn't know nearly enough to be as valuable as he seems to be, but that he's figured out a way to make himself seem like a good asset to all sides. Arliss Howard is having the time of his life with this part, and he perks up even poor Maggie, who remains the show's least defined character. What is this man's game plan? Is he using Will as a pawn? Or is he actually the guardian angel Will probably needs?
What sets Rubicon apart from many other shows of this type that have failed is the fact that we're asking these questions about the characters, rather than about the grand conspiracy. For as much as viewers complained about Lost and Battlestar Galactica's finales, both shows offered up conspiracies that had just as many character-based questions as plot-based ones. After a while, the question stopped being, why does the Island think John Locke is special? and became, is John Locke special? What's weird about Rubicon is that I'm not sure the plot end has entirely held up, but I also completely don't care. What we've learned about the grand, Atlas McDowell conspiracy is that, well, it's not all that exciting. Lots of people - lots of powerful people, in fact - are involved, and the group has a pretty sweet office suite, but the nature of what they're doing, the nature of their evil, seems pretty banal.
But, in many ways, that's shaping up to be the central theme of Rubicon: The things that seem most banal and ordinary to us in the States (or any Western capitalist democracy, really) are the things that are capable of the most evil. There's an intoxicating quality to evil, toward being on the side that will always be torturers, not the tortured, but the show makes no bones about the fact that very, very terrible things are being done in all of our names. Sure, we don't torture anymore, but that doesn't mean we're not comfortable with outsourcing our torturing to Jordanians. There's a matter-of-factness to the world presented in Rubicon, a sense that no matter what happens, these evils will continue. Atlas McDowell could be taken down, maybe, but something else would just spring up in its place. That chilling world-weariness is what keeps the show's inner thematic wheels turning.
What keeps us engaged, though, is increasingly the characters, who are becoming sharply defined as the show goes on. Tonight's episode tossed in a B-story that was, essentially, a sequel to the B-story in "The Outsider," where the team decided that, yeah, it was a good idea to call in an air strike to take out a terrorist. At that time, these ideas were purely theoretical, and even as the show strained to show how those ideas shouldn't be so purely theoretical, there was always a sense of the decision being made based on abstract data. Here, Miles and Tanya travel to an undisclosed location and see some of the offshoots of the decision they made, a man being beaten and tortured to be asked whether or not the terrorist is still alive somewhere. There's some talk from Miles about how the information that the tortured man provides is useless, but the best thing about the episode is that the spies who took them here basically know this and are fishing for information they already know they want. To a degree, Miles and Tanya know this is going on, but not thinking about it is easier than realizing this is being done in their names, based on information they provided. That close-up on Tanya's face, the soundtrack getting lost in distorted noise, as she watches is one of the more powerful moments of the show so far.
I've always thought that a conspiracy show about the people involved in the conspiracy, without really knowing that they're involved in it, would be crackerjack TV. It's The X-Files told from the point of view of low-level workers in the Syndicate, basically. What's interesting about this episode is that we get ever more of a sense of how API, just a tiny part of the Atlas McDowell octopus (I assume), is like any other office. It's just involved in morally questionable activities some of the time and not really sure of its affiliations. But Truxton helps get Tanya into a good rehab program, and Kale makes sure that Maggie lands on her feet after Will fires her. These are people who really believe, on some level, that they're doing the right things, that when the dust clears, they'll be cheered as heroes. No matter what side Kale Ingram is on, and no matter the extent of what Truxton has done, both believe themselves to be angels. And that makes the show all the more fascinating.
Stray observations:
- Great scenes involving Ed tonight. First, his chess match with Will was so well-filmed and choreographed, with the constant close-ups to his finger tap-tapping on the table and his taunts to Will about how he couldn't see the patterns. Second, his meeting with Kale was just the right level of terrifying, and Kale leaving that folded paper on the bench was like leaving a nice, big bag of cocaine next to a junkie. And, finally, the sad climax, with Ed lost back up inside of his head.
- I like the extended look we get into the world of the conspiracy members tonight as they meet up to talk about what they're up to in re: Katherine Rhumor (and I like the hints we're getting that James is protecting her because of his personal attachment to her). I just wish that Katherine herself wasn't trapped so thoroughly in a storyline that is clearly just marking time until she can meet up with Will and the rest of the gang at API.
- Grant is probably pretty happy about getting that compliment, particularly since he didn't get to go along to Torture Central.
- I do not get AMC HD, so I could not make out the text on those documents Will was riffling through. Did I miss anything incredibly important?
- "With too much free time, I become a sort of pajama disaster."

The effective number of neutrino species in our universe, Neff, is capable of probing the presence of new light or massless species in our universe. I will first review relevant facts about both CMB measurements of new light species and thermodynamics in the early universe. Then, I will present the effects of many models of BSM physics containing new light species on the CMB, including models containing eV-scale sterile neutrinos compatible with anomalies in neutrino experiments, and interpret the compatibility of the parameter space of these models in terms of the recent results from the Planck satellite. I will argue that the bounds on couplings obtained from the Planck measurement of the CMB are competitive with bounds coming from other areas of physics.

★★★★★ - "Our whole house was flooded in April of last year, everything had to be gutted and ripped out, found these guys and gave them a call, they came right out, gave us an estimate and a price and walked us through the process of what they were gonna be doing! From start to finish they did an awesome job with the tile floors, sheetrock, installing bathtubs, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and painting, I mean they do it all. These guys are awesome. Very friendly and professional. We will definitely be using them again! Thanks, Toby and Jonathan!"

Anonymous in Gulfport, MS2019-01-24
★★★★★ - "I have dealt with many contractors, both personally and in my business. Ambrose is one of the most professional and quality minded contractors I have ever worked with. Parts of my project proved very difficult and frustrating for us both. They responded immediately whenever I called them and took care of every single issue I had, even when I changed my mind. They were patient and gave me a very fair price. I used them for a complete exterior remodel and roof repairs. They were so easy to work with and they demand perfection from themselves and their crew. I will be using their services again, many times I am sure. I found them through The Porch and they were the only contractor to respond to my request. Great guys!!!"

We would recommend this company to anyone and will be rehiring again for future jobs"
Terri Redding, Siding2019-01-07
★★★★★ - "I can promise anyone who wants a job done right and in a hurry while receiving great quality work, it is these gentlemen. A couple days after Christmas my family and I went out to a camp on the river and damaged a roof with a storm approaching. I didn't know who to call at the time but google brought me to the right guys without a doubt. They literally got on a boat with me and drove out in the rain to help fix this camp. Quality was perfect and the price was right. If it had not of been for Ambrose Construction I would have been in some deep trouble with the rain and flooding coming. I highly recommend Ambrose for any type of work."

At the end of January, Constantine Karayannopolous, vice chairman and acting CEO of Molycorp (MCP), bought $100,000 worth of the company's stock on the open market, part of a cluster of insider purchases at the Greenwood Village, Colo., company in the past few months.
Mark Smith spent $120,000 in November to beef up his holdings before stepping down as CEO and now owns more than a million shares. Charles Henry, a director, spent more than $300,000 in November to increase his holding in the rare-earths producer to 110,593 shares. Two more directors also purchased shares. Molibdenos y Metales SA, a Chilean company that already owned about 10% of Molycorp, spent $110 million in January to increase its stake to 18%.
These buyers are increasing their holdings in a company that I regard as an intriguing speculation. It owns the Mountain Pass rare-earths mine in California's Mohave Desert, believed to be the richest deposit of rare earths outside of China, which produces more than 90% of the world's rare earths -- 17 scarce substances used in aerospace products, wind turbines and hybrid cars. The world's second-largest economy has lately become stingier about exporting the substances.
That doesn't make Molycorp a safe bet. The company said in November that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the accuracy of its financial statements. That's a huge risk factor.
Also significant, the company issued a lot of debt and stock recently to fund the development of its mine. Long-term debt stood at $1.18 billion as of Sept. 30, up from less than $200 million six months earlier. To feed the hungry mine, the company also issued more than 37 million common shares in January at $6 a share, only a few months after its previous share offering of about 14 million shares at $10 in August 2012.
One more risk factor: Though the company was profitable in 2011, it wasn't in 2012.
These risks deserve to be taken seriously; however, the insider purchases give me some confidence that the company now has the capital it needs and that its prospects are good. Meanwhile, revenue is ramping up. In 2012, Molycorp booked about $561 million in revenue, compared with about $397 million the year before.
A safe stock? No. A good speculation? Probably so.

International Law Firm Bingham McCutchen Opens at UK's Coldstream Research Campus
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 18, 2013) — Governor Steve Beshear today joined local leaders and officials from Bingham McCutchen LLP for a ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony at the 'Bingham Building' in the University of Kentucky's Coldstream Research Campus Business Park in Lexington.
"Bingham McCutchen is a company with a rich history and a promising future," said Gov. Beshear. "Today's ribbon-cutting represents the unlimited potential for Bingham's success in Lexington, and we know this will be a perfect fit for the Commonwealth and the firm."
Bingham handles various legal issues for Fortune 100 companies and financial service firms. The global company has 1,000 lawyers and 900 staff employees in 14 major offices across the world.
"The winner's circle is more crowded here today than it will be in a couple of weeks at the Derby," said Lexington Mayor Jim Gray. "But just as we are known as the Horse Capital of the World, we will now also be known as the place Bingham McCutchen chose over 300 other cities. We've crossed the finish line first in this race, and we're ready to race again, and always to go the extra mile."
University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto joined the governor and mayor in welcoming Bingham to Lexington.
"The University of Kentucky was excited to be a part of the attractive package that brought Bingham McCutchen to the Bluegrass," Capilouto said. "We look forward to further developing fruitful partnerships between the people at Bingham and UK's faculty, staff and students across several colleges and departments."
Bingham's 45,000-square-foot global services center in Lexington will house approximately 250 administrative support staff positions, including finance and accounting, human resources, information technology, marketing, operations, and risk management. The building includes redundant power and communications systems, multiple collaboration zones in an open-plan concept, as well as a micro-market offering fresh food and beverages.
"As of today, Bingham's Global Services Center is officially up and running in the Bluegrass," said Bingham Chairman Jay Zimmerman, noting that the center will eventually house approximately 250 Bingham employees. "We look forward to being an active member of the Lexington business community."
Bingham Chief Operating Officer L. Tracee Whitley added that the major drivers in securing the on-time opening of the Global Services Center were the strong collaboration between Bingham and Lexington and the dedication of Bingham's employees.
"In addition, the significant amount of work and care invested by our employees during this transitional time has been exceptional," said Whitley, noting that their dedication enabled the firm support operations to function seamlessly during the months while establishing the center.
"This grand opening for the 'Bingham Building' at UK's Coldstream Research Campus is good news for central Kentucky," said Sen. Julian M. Carroll, of Frankfort. "We are thrilled to have the center for the more than 250 administrative support staff positions in Lexington and to have these offices in the Coldstream Research Campus Business Park. Gov. Beshear shows his continued leadership in job creation to seek out and support this excellent industry expansion."
"Today is a momentous day as we celebrate not only the grand opening of Bingham McCutchen's Lexington office, but also in the effort to develop Coldstream Research Campus into an economic hub for Lexington and the Commonwealth," said Rep. Ryan Quarles, of Georgetown. "It is through working in a bipartisan fashion that business growth has taken place in Coldstream, and it is that renewed commitment of working together which will lead to continued growth in the business park."
"Last September, during the official project announcement at city hall, Bingham Chairman Jay Zimmerman mentioned a strong bond between its firm and the people in our community," said Bob Quick, CCE, president & CEO, Commerce Lexington Inc. "We have enjoyed getting to know the Bingham McCutchen team during the economic development process, and we're excited for the opening of the firm's new facility in Coldstream. When an international firm like Bingham McCutchen chooses Lexington, it certainly tells us that we have something very special going on right here in the Bluegrass. We look forward to working with the Bingham staff for many years to come."

Beyond Here, Lay Dragons (GCH52C) – GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – January 17, 2013
Southshore Park, also known as Dragon Park, is a popular community park in The Woodlands, Texas. Fishing is one attraction. The park is also a great place for romantic picnics and for soaking in a beautiful sunset. For geocachers, it is popular for all those reasons and more. That's because Southshore Park is home to Beyond Here, Lay Dragons (GCH52C), a difficulty 5, terrain 5 geocache whose size has not been revealed.
According to the cache page, "On old marine charts, they would record what they knew, and on the edges of the known world, they would write 'beyond here, lay dragons.'" In this case, just beyond Southshore Park is a lake with a famous dragon sculpture.
And what a dragon sculpture it is. While the geocache's size has not been identified, the sculpture is sure to be noticed, even from a distance. It is normal to see birds on the head of the dragon or kayaks floating alongside the long, green creature. The dragon is so popular that a three-day long Dragon Boat Challenge is held each year at the park. One of the events includes a "best dragon-like" boat competition.
To log a smiley, geocachers have to paddle their way to the dragon and follow the directions outlined on the geocache page. Over 125 geocachers have done exactly that. They also awarded this geocache 41 Favorite Points since it was hidden in October of 2003.
A group of geocachers who logged this find wrote, "LOVE THIS CACHE! It was just fun all around for us! We purchased an inflatable boat and borrowed some paddles instead of renting a kayak on the lake… We took 2 trips to the dragon: sureman & mr turdhustler were trip 1, and myself & mrs turdhustler were trip 2.
We grabbed the dragon by the tail, stared him in the face and battled him in an effort to get this cache! We did not want to leave defeated! We felt like we were in the stone-age! We made a special tool from various items we had in our vehicle. As my caching group knows, I am a picture freak, so this one was worthy of lots of pictures. Sureman (my dad) and me completed our first 5/5 cache! Turdhustlers completed another 5/5 cache to add to their list! Thank you for the milestone! What a fun cache for a Texas summer day!!!"

So, in an effort to use up as much of it as possible and make some great summer clothes for Olivia, I've started cranking out some fun new things. Yesterday's projects: jeans, bucket hat, skorts. (Yes, spell check and Bryan, skorts is a real word.)
Flat Front Pants tutorial and pattern. I shortened the length a little, but left everything else the same. I love the way these turned out. Such a quick, simple sew.
You can find my tutorial for how to make your own stamps and printed labels HERE.
this awesome book. (Which, by the way, cost me something like $16.50 when I bought it. Not sure why it's up to $40 now. I'm sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere.) I basically want to make every single thing in the book.
Last up are these super-easy little skorts.
Skirt on top (inspired by this easy skirt)...
...shorts underneath!
There's no way Olivia's going to keep her skirt nicely in place, so this will keep her from being inapropos all summer.
No, I'm not going to write a whole tutorial. It's so easy.
Just do this:
- Cut off the bottom of a shirt or tank top. (This will be your skirt piece.)
- Fold the top (raw) edge over about an 1" and iron.
- Use Rae's (free) Newborn Pants pattern and tutorial (but don't cut the full length of the pants--make them shorter so they'll be shorts) to make your little shorts, but DON'T finish off the top of the shorts.
- Stuff the top (raw) edge of your shorts under the fold at the top of your skirt piece and pin in place.
- Sew a zigzag stitch around the top to keep that folded edge (and the top of the shorts) in place, but leave an opening about an 1" wide.
- Thread your elastic through the casing and sew the elastic ends together.
- Sew the opening shut.
- And you're done! You now have skorts. Ta-da! Congratulations. :)
They're so fast and easy (not to mention made of free materials) I think I might have to make twelve more. And I think they should be pretty fun and comfy for Olivia.
So... that's what I made for Olivia yesterday!
We'll see what today brings!

British Columbians will ring in 2014 facing higher MSP premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions and Employment Insurance premiums to the tune of $85 per year for a single earner or $73 per year for a family of four where both parents work, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
And that is aside from expected increases in BC Hydro electricity rates or ICBC auto insurance premiums.
"Anyone making more than $25,000 a year in B.C. will lose ground in 2014, thanks mainly to the province's continued MSP tax grab," said Jordan Bateman, the CTF's B.C. director said in a press release.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation compiled figures for changes in fees, premiums and taxes among the provinces and in B.C. the totals range from $7 per year (which includes no increase in MSP premiums) for a single earner at the $25,000 per year salary level to $1,078 per year for a single earner at the $200,000 or more salary level.
At the maximum rate, MSP premiums increase by $33 per individual or $66 per family of four.
And for B.C.'s high-income earners, the provincial tax increase to 16.8 per cent from 15.7 per cent will take hold in 2014.
In his blog, Bateman also notes that those higher BC Hydro electricity rates, at about $96 per year for the average household will also kick in during the year as well as a $10 per year hike in ICBC premiums and for Lower Mainland drivers, a doubling of the Port Mann Bridge toll to $3 from an inaugural $1.50 per crossing.
The burden of payments on very low income earners, however, does decrease by $41 for those at the $15,000 or less level. And also for Lower Mainland drivers, there is a small saving in AirCare vehicle testing fees, which drop to $36 from $45 for those vehicles that need the test, which will drop $2 per month until the program's elimination at the end of the year.
The results of the CTF's calculations for the tax changes taking effect for 26 income and family scenarios can be found at: http://www.taxpayer.com/media/2014_New_Years_Tax_Changes_Backgrounder.pdf.

"If we are going to bring the Republican Party back to its glory, it is going to take a leader who understands the diversity and demographics of this country and is willing to show the leadership to stand up to the extremes of the party," said Texas-based bundler Fred Zeidman, one of his party's major donors, without referring specifically to Bush.
But following a traumatic White House loss and the restoration of a firm Democratic Senate majority, other Republicans are at the very least hesitant about a coronation of a man whose brother has inflicted significant political damage on the GOP in recent years. Conservatives, especially, are uneasy about running another Bush.
"There was a little Bush on the ticket last night," said one top Washington Republican, referring to exit polls showing that a majority of Americans still blame George W. Bush for the state of the economy. Romney was loath to mention Bush in the 2012 race, and basically ran away from his policies.
Castellanos said he thinks Bush would "be very attractive if he wants it. You know, there are gonna be some questions about Jeb, one of which is he's got a little Chris Christie in him too; he kind of does things his way. Does he run or does [Marco] Rubio support him or does a Rubio run [and Jeb support him] … does he sit on a throne or is he a power behind a lot of thrones? [But] right now he is kind of the king in waiting, the prince in waiting for the Republican Party."

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to indulge in Disney's International Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT Center. This marks the 14th year of an event that promises the chance to eat and drink your way around the world without ever having to break out your passport.
After attending this event for the past few years, I was pleasantly surprised to see that a majority of the regional menus had changed (after being exactly the same for the past few go-arounds) and that they'd added a few new cuisines, now up to 25 different international marketplaces. There were also more culinary classes and wine tastings to attend this year, many involving well-known food and wine celebrities like Iron Chef Cat Cora (who has a new restaurant, Kouzzina, that just opened at Disney's Boardwalk), Andrew Zimmern (host of Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel), the Deen Brothers (yes, Paula's boys) and lying TV chef Robert Irvine.

In a statement posted today on its official American site, Nintendo issued an apology regarding the upcoming Western debut of its quirky life-sim series Tomodachi Life. The Nintendo DS and 3DS series puts imported Mii characters from gamers' consoles into a mix of ordinary and oddball situations, and while some of those situations include relationships and marriages, the game defaults into only allowing male-female unions.
Campaigns such as Miiquality rose up seeking a response (or action) on Nintendo's part, saying that the game's focus on personalization would be disrupted when gay players are not given the option to have gay characters. Nintendo's response to those campaigns, titled "We are committed to fun and entertainment for everyone," was direct: the company wishes it could fix it, but it can't.
"We apologize for disappointing many people by failing to include same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life," Nintendo wrote. "Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to change this game's design, and such a significant development change can't be accomplished with a post-ship patch."
Nintendo seemed to cement this "unpatchable" conclusion by offering a far-off hope for consolation: Any sequels or other stand-alone follow-ups might see an update to the series' relationship system. Nintendo has yet to officially announce a Tomodachi sequel in Japan or any other territory.
The statement comes one day after a GLAAD representative spoke out against Nintendo's design decision. "In purposefully limiting players' relationship options, Nintendo is not only sending a hurtful message to many of its fans and consumers by excluding them, but also setting itself way behind the times," the gay-rights advocacy organization said to VentureBeat.

What is the worst automotive sin? Stancing? Rolling Coal? I think around these parts we can all agree that asshat parking, especially in handicapped spaces ranks pretty high on the list.
I take this stuff kind of personal because I have a wife who is a wheelchair user and has a ramp-van. She is dependent upon those spots to be able to actually go out and do things. So when people park inside the lines or take up handicapped spots illegally it gets to me, especially when we have to park elsewhere and this happens . I know it gets to most of you as well regardless of whether or not you are disabled or know someone with a disability.
But what is to be done about it? We could get revenge (no recommended). We could call the police and hope they get a ticket or towed (not likely to happen). We could post their picture on the internet and shame them (makes us feel good, but doesn't seem to be terribly effective). Or we could look a little deeper at the root cause.
While I was holiday shopping this weekend I had 3 separate encounters with people who attempted to park in the lines too close to our van. I was fortunate enough to catch them and say something like, "Excuse me mam/sir...you see we have van with a ramp and when you park in the lines the ramp can't open without hitting your car. And then my wife can't get out." What surprised me is that all three encounters were with nice folks who responded with, "Oh I'm sorry I had no idea that is what those lines where for." They promptly moved their vehicle. Now perhaps I just encountered a special population this time of year who is both nice and clueless. But it got me thinking...what if some asshat parking did not arise out of arrogance but rather ignorance? What if most people honestly had no clue that those blue lines had a specific purpose? I like to believe in the good in people (again maybe it's the time of year) and I want to believe that if more people understood why those blue lines where there, maybe we could cut down on the incidents of asshatery.
I propose we do a little informal survey this holiday season when we are talking with family and friends (or strangers). I need your help to ask folks-
"Hey do you know what those blue lines in the parking lots are for?"
I am genuinely curious how many people really know. Report back here with your findings.
-Tell me how many people you asked
-Tell me how many of them were not aware of the purpose of those blue lines
-What state you live in
Do I think our efforts will put a stop to this behavior? Probably not. But the conversations you have with people will increase awareness and if it turns out that most people are truly clueless perhaps we can take it to another level. We could proposition state governments to add a question or two to the driver's test (at least we could make the next generation a little smarter) or maybe some kind of PSA could be in order.
The Jalopnik community has had a great history of getting behind some good causes. This is something that we all get fired up about, maybe it is time we take some positive action.

CALGARY — Researchers at the University of Calgary have made a breakthrough that could offer hope for people suffering from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, conditions such as Crohn's and ulcerative colitis affect over 200,000 Canadians. Characterized by inflammation in the gastro-intestinal tract, these diseases can be extremely debilitating and cause symptoms like abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and weight loss.
Currently, diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis are chronic, lifelong conditions. However, researchers with the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and the Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases at the U of C's Faculty of Medicine have made a discovery they hope will pave the way for the development of new drugs to be used in treatment.
"I think this type of research gives patients considerable hope," said Keith Sharkey, senior author of the study published in the April edition of the journal Nature Medicine.
Sharkey said while scientists have long known that inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by the damage or death of neurons within a patient's gut, they have not known the cause. What the researchers discovered is the mechanism through which that cell death happens, aided by proteins called "pannexins." They also discovered that when drugs are used to block the pannexins, cell death in the gastrointestinal tract can be prevented.
The research, which took two years to complete, was tested on lab mice suffering from chemically induced "colitis."
Roger Thompson, another of the study's authors, said the "eureka" moment came when the researchers realized that — in the cases where pannexin had been blocked — the mice had considerably lower incidences of cell death.
"From that we were able to make the prediction that the animals themselves should have less severe disease, and sure enough, that turned out to be the case," Thompson said.
Brian Gulbransen, the study's lead author, said the pannexins involved in the death of neurons inside the guts of mice are also present in humans. That means the results of the research could be used to develop new drug therapies, sparing patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease from the distress of chronic gastrointestinal dysfunction.
"I think this whole study is just the beginning of our understanding of how this works in humans," Gulbransen said. "I think once we begin to understand better how this works in humans, we'll be able to target it better."

I wanted to take a quick second too and mention that I'll be guest posting over at Simply Klassic Home today for her BBC series (Beginner Blogger Club) about the how to - and why to - of buying your own domain.
Teaching is just one of the many professions where you are overworked and underpaid. If you are a GOOD teacher, this is true.
Teaching is more of a life than a job. Those that really love the life of teaching, will stick with it and make sure their students love to learn just as much as they love to teach.

1.06 Cowboys – CB Morris Claiborne, Louisiana State
The first defender selected in the 2012 draft will quickly push Mike Jenkins for a starting job and likely kicks the quicker, faster Jenkins in on the slot when their top three corners are all on the field. Playing opposite an exceptional Brandon Carr and a sporadic playmaker in Jenkins should mean Claiborne is tested early and help his numbers. He has great ball skills, but eventually should see less his way as he develops in to a shutdown corner. Not a fundamentally strong tackler, but not afraid to stick his helmet in there. One of the top returners in the draft, but the Cowboys are loaded with outstanding returners and after getting burned with a broken ankle by Dez Bryant on a return two years ago, have been more reticent to use their stars in the role, so don't expect him to add much more value in leagues that count return stats.
1.07 Buccaneers – S Mark Barron, Alabama
Barron should step right in as the starting SS and his primary responsibility will be to improve a run defense that was last in the league. He isn't great in coverage, but makes great reads and has an outstanding great nose for the ball, contributing to his 12 career interceptions. He has the talent and opportunity to be a top fantasy producer at DB.
1.09 Panthers – LB Luke Kuechly, Boston College
Despite their need at DT, the selection of Kuechly by the Panthers isn't a surprise. The team has their top two linebackers coming off major surgery after significant injuries last season in Jon Beason (Achilles) and Thomas Davis (ACL). Assuming all are healthy, Kuechly will have a challenge early for playing time, as James Anderson has really emerged the last two years after injuries gave him opportunity. However, that seems unlikely. It would be surprising if Davis, a converted safety, remains the outstanding athlete he was after three ACL surgeries in less than two years. The Achilles is also a scary injury, there is no guarantee Beason will remain the beast he was before the injury. If I had to bet now how the Panthers field their linebackers for most of the season, it would be Beason in the middle, Anderson at SLB and Kuechly at WLB, with Davis in a swing role. For dynasty purposes, the sky is the limit for Kuechly, a tackle machine who displayed Urlacheresque athleticism at the Combine. Sooner than later he will be one of the top Mike's in the league.
1.10 Bills – CB Stephon Gilmore, South Carolina
Similar to Morris, he immediately becomes one of the top 3 corners and should push for a starting job in camp. Nice size/speed guy with loads of potential who could also contribute as a returner with the departure of Roscoe Parrish.
1.11 Chiefs – DT Dontari Poe, Memphis
One of the picks I nailed in my final mock, while everyone else had him dropping. GM Scott Pioli and HC Romeo Crennel envisioning him as the next coming of Vince Wilfork. Not a fantasy factor himself, but the attention he draws should help the numbers of those around him.
1.12 Eagles – DL Fletcher Cox, Mississippi State
The reported pre-draft love the team had for him was accurate as the Eagles joined the trade parade last night to move up to secure him. The versatile Cox is a great fit for the active rotation in Philly's front four. An ideal penetrating three-technique, he should be the rare DT (in leagues that don't segregate between DL positions) who offers consistent fantasy value, because of his ability to get to the QB.
1.14 Rams – DT Michael Brockers, Louisiana State
I think he would have been better off as a five-technique in a 3-4 defense, but 21 year-old is a just tapping his potential as he learns the tricks of the trade, coming out as a redshirt sophomore. New HC Jeff Fisher is hoping he landed another Albert Haynesworth in the equally super-sized Brockers to anchor his defense.
1.15 Seahawks – DE/OLB Bruce Irvin, West Virginia
GM John Schneider and HC Pete Carroll now rival Bill Belichick when it comes to taking the (pundit) path less traveled in their evaluations and decisions. Looking for help for their pass rush was no surprise, but tapping the undersized Irvin to do it with this pick was the biggest shock of the night. There is no doubt Irvin can get to the QB, with 22.5 sacks in 26 college games, but I don't know if he'll be able to do it against pro linemen. Irvin bulked up to 245 for the Combine and still ran a 4.45, but he has a very narrow and angular frame, I don't think he can carry much more weight well. His ceiling is a situational pass rusher and was definitely better suited to do it as a 3-4 edge rusher where linemen can't immediately get their hands on him.
1.16 Jets – OLB/DL Quinton Coples, North Carolina
Landing in a 3-4 as an OLB would not have been a great fantasy situation for the player who has the most potential as a 4-3 DE in this class, but it's even worse for his fantasy value if he's going to see work as a five-technique DE too. Expect Rex Ryan to move him around and the challenges of learning multiple positions in a new defense are even more of a concern for a player whose dedication and work ethic are already questioned.
1.17 Bengals – CB Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama
The position choice was no surprise after an aging Nate Clements was a downgrade last season after being brought in to fill the hole left by the departure of Johnathan Joseph and having Leon Hall is coming off a torn Achilles' tendon. Not surprisingly, the dismissed marijuana charge that might have been a red flag for some teams didn't faze the Bengals, which I agree with. I'm more concerned that he lacks the foot speed to be the shutdown corner he was in college at this level on deep threats. He will have opportunity and be tested frequently, both translated well for his fantasy value.
1.18 Chargers – OLB Melvin Ingram, South Carolina
Plenty of discussion on where the versatile Ingram, who started as a DT, was best suited to play, but this is a great fit in a good place. I think his fantasy production will surprise some people.
1.19 Bears – DE/LB Shea McClellin, Boise State
Are we sure Jerry Angelo was fired? This pick by new GM Phil Emery reeks of Angelo's very own self-deluded "smartest guy in the room" aura. Commenting to the Chicago media that he was happy McClellin was used as an OLB in the Senior Bowl so other teams wouldn't see him as a pass rusher ranges from insulting his own intelligence to that of his counterparts – someone needs to let Emery know other teams employ scouts and watch film too. McClellin was a late riser, rumored to be of interest to such teams with recently better track records like the Packers and Patriots, but that was as a 3-4 OLB. It remains to be seen if he can carry the weight to be effective with his hand on the ground full time. DC Rod Martinelli moves his linemen all around the front four, but doesn't employ exotic schemes that could have the McClellin bouncing around from side-to-side with his hand off the ground, so I'm not sure his versatility is more valuable than if they had gone with a full-fledged edge rusher.
1.21 Patriots – DE/OLB Chandler Jones, Syracuse
Yesterday's sign of the apocalypse – Bill Belichick trading UP in the first round, not once, but twice. Great athletic genes in the Jones' family, his brother Arthur is a DT on Baltimore and brother Jon is a UFC fighter. Jones was off the first-round radar early in the process after a knee injury cost him almost half of last season, but was a late riser who some, including such respectable evaluators as NFL Network's Mike Mayock, believe he may be the best pure pass rusher in this class. The pass rush has lost Mark Anderson and Andre Carter hasn't been resigned, so there is opportunity in the Elephant role for him, but Jones needs to bulk up and add some strength. I expect them to resign Carter or bring in another vet and look at Jones as more of a long-term solution who will see spot duty and get after the QB next year.
1.25 Patriots – LB Don'ta Hightower
Love the player, love the fit. Fantasy gold, I don't care if he and Jerod Mayo will cannibalize some of each other's tackle numbers, he will also get to the QB a few times and make other big plays.
1.26 Texans – OLB Whitney Mercilus, Illinois
After the loss of Mario Williams, despite the emergence of Brooks Reed and Connor Barwin last year, I was pretty confident DC Wade Phillips would want another elite pass rusher for his rotation – I had Nick Perry going here in my final mock. Instead Phillips got, statistically, the best pass rusher in college last year. Mercilus led FCS with 16 sacks and 9 forced fumble, also totaling 22.5 TFL. There's concern Mercilus is a one-year wonder, but a solid Combine affirmed the athleticism is there, and elite collegiate sack production tends to translate well. His ceiling is Terrell Suggs to me.
1.28 Packers – OLB Nick Perry, Southern California
I was higher on Perry that most, consistently mocking him in the first, and like him even more landing in a great situation in Green Bay. The team has struggled to find a partner opposite Clay Matthews at OLB and Perry should have no problem winning the starting job as a rookie. He should be used as the primary for pass rusher, freeing Matthews up to freelance more. With DC Dom Capers and OLB coach Kevin Greene, as well as former collegiate teammate Matthews as a role model, Green Bay is right up there with Pittsburgh as the best environment to learn to how to play the edges in a 3-4.
1.29 Vikings – S Harrison Smith, Notre Dame
While most have Smith as the second-best safety in this class, most also had him after the first round. I snuck him in with the Patriots' last pick in the first in my final mock because of need and he seems like a Belichick guy. The Vikings have even more need at the position, which is clearly the primary motivator with this pick. Smith succeeds with smarts and size over talent and speed. Great fantasy potential for next year, but I don't believe he's the next John Lynch.

Set Goals based on Elevation gained
I'd love to be able to set a weekly elevation goal. Possible?
Keep up the great work,
I'd love to be able to set a weekly elevation goal. Possible?
Keep up the great work,
Using the Strava mobile app you can now set goals for distance, time, or elevation. For more information on recent updates to Strava Goals please see our help article: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918687-Goals-on-Strava
Totally agree. 100 flat miles is a lot different than 100 miles with lots of climbing. It would be really cool if I could create a goal that was based on some formula that included both miles and feet climbed. Or suffer points, or...
I would like to set a goal for the entire year. Like I would to hit 200,000 feet of climbing in 2014. Watch it tick away through the days and weeks toward my goal.
I agree with the Elevation gained. A challenge similar to prove it. Or festive 500. but for climbing meters. A set total elevation goal in a month or 2 weeks ect. it would inspire the mountain goats to come out and graze more.
Yes would be good to add elevation gain goal to the current weekly distance or time goal option. Would be better to not have to choose just one for your weekly goal but have the option of choosing the whole three if you want. You can then set your weekly distance, time and elevation goal.
And please add the possibility to manually enter distance for stationary. You still don't need to include those metrics in the Challenges.
It's not a goal, but the new Training Log feature goes a long way to fulfilling my needs for elevation tracking. In fact, it's much more comprehensive than a goal. Nice job Strava. :-)
The training log is good for distance and time as if you achieve your weekly goal the log will have the goal highlighted in red for the week displayed which you can see at a glance and you can change the view to see how far you went over/under for that week.
Depending on the time of year/season and my other commitments outside cycling my weekly goals will change regularly so when it appears red on the training log I have achieved my set goal for that week. Just a pity I can not set an elevation goal or combination or goals.
Andrew I also use VeloVeiwer.com which will on the summary page gives you a more deeper breakdown log of you activities. If you ride a number of bikes can display log for all or individual bikes. Also option of displaying day/week/month and can compare e.g. Jan 2014 to Jan in previous years for your for your time/distance/elevation/speed/PRs
It would be great to be able to set long term goals and track them. Also would be great to set elevation goals.
I would love an elevation-based goal as well. While the training log lets you see your weekly achievement, it would be nice to be able to set a goal and easily check your progress. Sometimes it's best to just go out attacking hills and you end up with next to no miles completed but your ascent figure is what you aim for.
YES please include climbing goals!
How about a score: the more climbing metres per kilometre the bigger the score ?
Add my vote in favor of climbing goals. I care a lot more about vertical than miles or time.
Yes, exactly what I am looking for, weekly climbing goals, which is also the theme of this thread too...
Climbing Goals would be awesome. Even a weekly tracker would be nice. Please put it up Strava.
Add my vote in favor of climbing goals.
Yes please!
YES PLEASE! Seems straight-forward to add this type of goal but I'm not a developer for Strava ;-). Liking the concept of an annual or otherwise long term goal too. I'm working on a long term goal myself and have resorted to maintaining a spreadsheet manually. Considering writing an app for this given my own needs. Should I bother or is there any life coming to this idea from Strava?
I'd love to see elevation goals, surely can't be that difficult to implement.
Would also like to be able to set monthly and annual goals.
How about a custom goal where you set the metric and time period yourself?
I would also love to be able to set elevation goals. Surely this would be pretty easy to implement?
In fact, elevation is the most important goal for me and my friends - as our training focuses on hill climbing. I would like to use metres (metric) but the option to have either metres or feet would be useful. It would be great if we could set elevation goals and time period (I prefer weekly and monthly) - especially as there is now a Strava hill climbing challenge.
I've just started using Strava and find it great so far. Thanks! It would be almost perfect if I could set elevation goals ... :-)
I would also love to have this feature implemented.
I'm training for TNF100 and some of my weekly training sessions are more focused on meters climbed rather than distance, so a goal focused on elevation would be awesome!!
I agree, an elevation target would be a huge training tool. Using Strava as an analysis tool I know I can do the miles but need to work on the climbing, a visual target each week would help with the motivation to get off the 'usual' routes and find more hills.
My vote - yes please to elevation goal
Strava - Seeing as many of your 'Challenges' are elevation based, including an elevation goal function would help keep track of progress toward achieving the challenge. Please add this.
Please add this feature - so many of us in mountain biking only care about elevation feet for goal....
unreal that this can't be done.
also, no way to set a TIME (eg, hours biked) goal for a year or month
and no way to track monthly or year climbing, time or mileage.
all these things already exist somewhere in Strava just turn them on -- how hard can that be?
Agreed. With the monthly climbing challenges, it would make sense to be able to set elevation as a weekly goal.
Also, monthly goals would be useful.
Coming up on the two year anniversary of this thread... sigh.
I see Strava is now pushing annual goals - my only annual goals are elevation based - can we please have elevation goals??

Islamic leaders in Missouri and New Jersey are calling for lawmakers to limit free speech after an anti-Muslim film sparked outrage across the world.
The Islamic Society of Greater Kansas City has launched a petition calling on Congress to "establish a law against insulting one's religion."
"We understand the First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights and, as such, prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, etc., but when the allowance of "free" speech incites violence it should be banned," read a statement from the Islamic Society.
While condemning the violence that was originally blamed on the film, the Muslim group said ti would "be in everyone's interest to ban such actions from reoccurring."
"We condemn the violence and feel that, in spite of the First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution, action may be necessary to pass such a bill or, at least, censure such actions in order to calm the current situation as well as prevent future re-occurrences," the statement read.
The Islamic Society in Kansas City is not alone in their calls for limiting free speech.
"We, as Americans, have to put limits and borders [on[ freedom of speech," Imam Mohammad Qatanani told The Blaze.
He leads the Islamic Center of Passaic County, one of the largest mosques in New Jersey.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American Islamic Relations, told Fox News that he doesn't believe the calls for speech restrictions will go anywhere.
"I think it's just an expression of frustration at the insults directed at the Prophet Mohammed," he said. "It's really a non-starter. The First Amendment protects freedom of expression – – even hate speech."
Hooper said mainstream Americans should be promoting mutual understanding.
"The real answer is to promote more speech – but speech directed at promoting mutual understanding and not interfaith hostility," he said.
And Hooper said in this day and age it's nearly impossible to limit speech.
"Even if one wanted to put limitations on any type of speech – in the Internet era – it's just impossible," he said. 'no matter what anyone would try and censor there would always be a way around it."
Paul Kengor, a professor of political science at Grove City College, told Fox News he is not surprised at the calls to limit free speech.
"This is America," Kengor said. "You have the right to be critical and even insulting of other religious beliefs – so long as you do it in a peaceful and nonviolent way. That's what makes us different from the Muslim world – where you generally don't have those same rights."
Kengor said he is interested to see how liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union responds to the petition.
"Are they going to stay true to their convictions of freedom of expression or are they going to hold a double standard here and accommodate Muslims?"
The ACLU did not return calls seeking comment.

Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are life-threatening mental illnesses characterized by an obsession with food and weight. Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and related eating disorders are more common in women than men and typically start in adolescence, though their effects can be seen across all ages, races and genders.
Genetics and emotional and psychological issues are at the root of many eating disorders. In addition, our society's thirst for thinness and unrealistic ideals of beauty, which are communicated in various forms of media, lead many to develop low self-esteem and a negative body image.
Eating disorders can affect functioning in every system of the body, especially the heart and kidneys, and may cause lasting damage and even death. Because of the urgency of the risks associated with eating disorders, getting high-quality eating disorder treatment early on is the best way to combat the mental and physical consequences of these devastating mental illnesses.
Because eating disorders impact the whole person – mind, body and spirit – treatment must be comprehensive and individualized. The best eating disorder treatment programs combine medical care, individual, group and family therapy, nutrition education, and other interventions tailored to the specific needs of each individual.
