On the AMC crime drama The Killing (premiering April 3), actress Mireille Enos (Big Love) plays Sarah Linden, a single mom and homicide detective with the Seattle Police Department, who is ready to walk away, marry her fiancé and move her life to Sonoma, Calif. But, when local teenager Rosie Larsen is found murdered, her determination to solve the crime and catch the killer becomes a compulsion, no matter the cost to herself and her family.
In this exclusive interview with Collider, show star Mireille Enos talked about what drew her to The Killing, taking on such a complex leading role, juggling new motherhood with a drama series, the excitement of getting the new scripts each week and learning what secrets are revealed, and her decision not to watch the original Danish series, Forbrydelsen, so as not to compare the two. Check out what she had to say after the jump:
Question: How did this show come about for you? Did you audition for it?
MIREILLE ENOS: Yeah, I auditioned for it. The casting directors for this had cast me in Big Love, so they knew me. When they got the script, they brought me in. I auditioned for (executive producer) Veena [Sud] and Patty Jenkins, who directed the pilot, twice. It went well, but it was the lead of a big show, so they needed to see everyone. They saw people in New York and London and L.A., so there was a big gap where I thought, "Well, maybe that went away." I was doing other auditions. There was nothing I liked nearly as much. They were stumped and had gotten to a stalemate and they thought, "Let's bring Mireille back in, one more time." And then, they offered me the part.
Had you been actively looking to do another series?
ENOS: I knew my storyline at Big Love was petering off, so I thought it would be great to find something. But, I also was pregnant, so I was fine with the possibility that I was going to take some time off. And then, when this script came, it was so gorgeous and exciting that I really hoped it would happen. I wouldn't have taken just anything, just to have work, because I was expecting. But, this was really a chance of a lifetime.
Did the work you did on Big Love really help prepare you to take on the lead role on a series?
ENOS: Oh, sure. Yeah, definitely. Getting to be part of an ensemble like that, with such wonderful actors and great writing, it all helped build to this.
What can you say about The Killing and how it is different from other crime shows?
ENOS: Crime shows are really popular, in general, but usually, at the end of every episode, you have to let go of the people that you've invested in and then, the next week, get somebody else. With this show, you have an entire season with this one case. You get to know the people so intimately that it's more like reading a novel, rather than a short story. These people become your friends and companions.
Did you watch any of the original series, Forbrydelsen, at all?
ENOS: No. From everything I've heard, the actress that plays Sarah (Sofie Gråbøl), in the original, is so wonderful. I didn't want to be comparing myself with her.
Was part of the appeal of this the fact that this show is equally about the characters and their lives as it is the crime itself?
ENOS: Yeah, you can explore a lot more. Every one of the storylines is multi-faceted, so there are so many directions that it can go. It makes each episode so interesting.
Who is Sarah Linden to you? What kind of woman is she?
ENOS: We're all really complex, as people, and she is many different things. She's a mother. Sometimes she's a bad mother, and sometimes she's a good mother. She's a professional who's incredibly good at her job. She's trying to be a partner. She's a fiancée. Sometimes she's more or less successful at that. She's deeply private. But, she's also a really normal girl, too. That's what makes it so fun to play. She's a lot of different things, and she's struggling to figure out which one of her facets is going to define her, in this new stage of her life. It's really hard to let go of the cop part of her because she's so good at it, but there's a limit to how fulfilling it can be. It doesn't allow her to be a good mother and a good partner, so she has to make a decision.
Do you feel like you get to know these characters better, with each episode only being a day of the story?
ENOS: Absolutely. You get to move so slow. You don't have to make any leaps. It's like, "Okay, I show up today and it's just the next day I'm playing Sarah." I get to learn about her, a day at a time, just like I'm living, a day at a time.
How much did they tell you about her, when you were cast, and how much have you learned along the way?
ENOS: Everything in the future, I learn as I get the scripts. (Executive producer) Veena [Sud] and I sat down, during the pilot, and talked about Sarah's past and the things that are going to be revealed and character things that are important while building her. So, I knew some about her past, but everything else, I learn basically at the same time the audience does.
Are you excited to get the scripts each week then?
ENOS: Oh, my goodness, yes. It's so exciting!
In this show, it seems that everybody has secrets. Do you feel that those secrets will surprise viewers?
ENOS: I think some of them will come out of left field and be very surprising reveals, and I think some of them will be things that the audience will intuitively know. There's something so satisfying, as an audience member, about learning that what you were thinking is true.
Are there questions that get answered every week, and then new questions that arise? Do things get carried over multiple episodes?
ENOS: Yeah, there are things that definitely carry for several episodes. There are new leads that get followed, and then end up dying. There are new things that happen. Relationships between people get revealed that suddenly make something that seemed innocent, not innocent at all. It's a mystery.
Were you told up front how that mystery would be resolved, at the end of the series?
ENOS: No, we don't know. It's really fun.
How have these actors been to work with?
ENOS: It's an amazing ensemble of the best actors. We all make each other better, and that extends to all of the writers and directors that are coming in. Every piece of the puzzle is so carefully chosen that it just elevates the whole thing. It's really a joy to show up to work.
How has it been to develop the relationships between Sarah and the two men in her life – her partner at work and her partner at home?
ENOS: They are really different guys, and they're both awesome actors. What's written are these really complicated relationships. Holder and Sarah don't like each other very much, at the beginning, although they do have mutual respect. And, Rick is Sarah's fiancé. They're really complex relationships.
This show is so visual and atmospheric. Has the location of Vancouver really helped add to that?
ENOS: Well, sure. The backdrop does most of the work for you, and then we have the most awesome D.P., Peter Wunstorf. He is so brilliant, the way that he lights. Every image is like a painting. I don't have to actually think about that at all. Everybody else is doing that part for me.
Is it more difficult to work with this kind of subject matter and be able to just leave that at work before you go home to your family? Does it tend to live with you more?
ENOS: It's been fine because when you shoot, you're breaking it all up in pieces and you've got the crew around you and there's so much life on the set that it's pretty easy, so far, anyway. Even with the hard scenes, you just go in, and then you get to step out. Two hours later, you're shooting something where you're acting like a dork. It helps to not have it go in as much, in your normal life.
Will viewers get to see some lighter moments with these characters?
ENOS: Yeah, totally. Otherwise, it would just be unwatchable. I mean, really. There's all kinds of different stuff. It definitely stays heavy, but there are glimmers.
Are there going to be any flashbacks to see who these people were before they all got to this point?
ENOS: I don't know. Not so far, but I have no idea. Maybe. They have big histories.
What have been the biggest challenges in developing a character like this?
ENOS: Right now, because I have an infant daughter, the biggest challenge is doing both of those things, at the same time, and doing a good job of both of those things. Because so much of my time, when I'm not on the set, is given to my daughter, the process gets condensed, which has actually been really interesting, as an actor. I've learned that I can actually get the same thing done, in less time. You just have to show up and crack yourself open. You can't spend a lot of time deciding what's going to happen. You just show up and be alive. So far, I'm really liking working that way. And then, I have to trust that (executive producer) Veena [Sud] and the directors will let me know if there's something that I'm missing, and then we'll fix it.
Is it fun to work on a television series where you're constantly working with different directors and having to keep adapting your style?
ENOS: It is really interesting. We, as human beings, are different people, depending on who we're with. It's easy, with a character, to get narrow and to go back to the same familiar ways of being. When you have a different director, they're going to have a different perspective and they're going to pull different sides of that character out. It ends up helping you to have a more flushed out performance.
Does it create any pressure to know all of the success that AMC has been having with their original programming, and this being their first crime drama? Does that also give you more confidence, in knowing that's behind the show?
ENOS: Yeah. To step into a world where people have such creative insight and they're doing such a good job, it just gives you that much more confidence in what you're doing.
Do you worry about the attention span of viewers, with a series that's structured like this?
ENOS: I'm not worried, no. Every script I get is so compelling that I'm not worried.
THE KILLING premieres on AMC on April 3rd

The software is Evidentia. It is designed to help you organize and analyze your research in such a way that it is easier to reach a "soundly reasoned, coherently written conclusion."
One thing that drew me to this software was the fact that it supported the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS). This happens in several ways:
1. You cannot enter a claim without a source.
2. You cannot reach a conclusion without fully analyzing all of the evidence.
3. Provides an overview of all sources consulted for a particular claim, to determine if a reasonably exhaustive search has indeed been accomplished.
4. Complete and consistent source citations.
First Impressions:
I like the look and feel of it. The colors are subtle (read: not annoying). The layout itself is pretty simple, but in my opinion, it should be. When you're working on proof arguments, the last thing you want is to be distracted by all the bells and whistles of your software.
Data Entry:
This is pretty intuitive, and there are plenty of tool tips to guide you if you need it.
When you begin working with the program, the first thing you'll do is enter your sources. Evidence Explained-based templates are provided for most common sources (I think there are around 170 templates). You can also add your own customized source templates as well.
After you enter your source, you will add a citation with the details of your source (page number, etc.). Then you begin adding "claims." These are the assertions made by the particular source ("John Brown was age 22 in 1887"). You will attach the claim to a subject - your ancestor - and the claim type (birth, death, occupation, etc.). Then you will select the quality of the information (primary, secondary, unknown). (You will be amazed at the number of claims ONE source can make - I think I had around 35 claims for one census record).
Once you have your sources and claims entered, you can analyze your evidence by clicking on (appropriately named) "Analyze Evidence." You are then asked to choose a subject and a claim type. You do this by selecting from the drop-down menus.
All claims related to that subject and claim type are presented so they can be analyzed, which encourages you to weigh the evidence (or lack thereof), and identify and resolve any conflicts. In some cases, it could lead you to realize that you've been looking at your data all wrong (I wouldn't know anything about this at all) and lead you in a completely different direction altogether.
After you have analyzed your claims, the summary window will unlock and allow you to write your evidence-based conclusion.
Now your proof report is ready to print. Just select "Reports," choose which report you want to print, select your font, and click OK. Voila! The reports are consistent in their formatting and easy to read. (This is not an actual proof report - it's just an example)
You can only print your reports in HTML. That means you need to take the extra step to print to PDF in order to save it. I'm hoping that sometime in the (very) near future, there will be other options for the reports.
You have to manually enter your sources. The "clone" option is helpful, but ultimately it would be nice to just import them. You can, however, copy/paste your source information directly from your genealogy program (as I do from RootsMagic).
The only other major issue I have with the sources at this time is that once you enter a source, then make a citation for it, any future citations for that source will not auto-fill the citation information (for example, if you have individuals listed in the 1880 Census in the same enumeration district but on several different pages). You have to copy/paste and then edit. I have logged this as an ongoing issue, and hopefully it will be addressed soon.
After playing around with pretend data for a week or so, I started inputting my data for real (which led to a couple of pretty good blog posts). It has been so much easier for me to see that I really haven't done a reasonably exhaustive search, but more importantly it has shown me how to really "listen" to my sources. Turns out, they have quite a bit to say - and a lot that they don't say. So, in my opinion, drawbacks aside, it is worth checking out.
Bottom Line:
Retail price is $24.99. However, a little birdie told me that Evidentia will be released tomorrow (Monday, December 17) for download at an introductory price of $19.99. So you'll want to get it before the price goes up. If you're interested in purchasing it, you can get it here (affiliate link).
More Info:
The Evidentia website has a lot of videos and tutorials available to help you navigate through the program and answers some questions that are likely not addressed in this post.
**In the interest of full disclosure, I was provided a free license for the software in return for beta testing like a boss! (which means I broke it ... a lot)**
**no puppies were harmed in the writing of this post**

Update: Since a few months ago, Geiser has its own home in the interwebs.
I hope you'll pardon a shameless plug of one of my latest hacks, Geiser, a new Emacs-Scheme interaction mode.
After having lots of fun implementing Fuel, i was left with a lot of Elisp code that, i realized, could be easily reused for languages other than Factor. I also decided that it was high time to stop whining about Scheme environments not being dynamic enough and do something about it. As they say, talk is cheap.
Thusly, Geiser was born, and today it came of
0.0.1 0.0.2 age, as per the git tag in its repository.
If you know Slime or Fuel, you know what Geiser aims at: a pleasant, live interaction with Scheme without leaving Emacs. This first release is by no means there yet, but you'll already find some joy using it: module-aware and incremental evaluation, jumping to definitions, dynamic symbol completion and automatic signature display in the echo area are the highlights.
Currently, Geiser supports two Scheme implementations: Guile and PLT. Yeah, i like both (and several others). It's been really fun discovering how to tweak them to obtain the metadata i wanted, and their developers and users have been helpful, kind and patient to no end. A big thanks to them (you know who you are), and my promise that i'll keep nagging.
Both Guile and PLT have given me many pleasant surprises. Guile is the most common-lispy Scheme around, and the recent hard work and improvements by the likes of Andy Wingo is making much of the criticism it memetically receives just moot. And PLT is by no means the rigid system i thought it was, while retaining all the great features i knew it had. Try any of them, with or without Geiser: they're real fun.
Back to Geiser, this being an alpha release, there's no screencasts or real documentation… the code just escaped leaving a blood trail, you know. Maybe one day it'll have a webpage, a mailing list and even users. In the meantime, if you're brave enough, the README will hopefully do; and, of course, the code:
git clone git://gitorious.org/geiser/mainline.git
(If you're not brave enough, but curious, the code is browsable here.)
Needless to say, all kinds of comments, criticisms and laundry lists are welcome and, actually, encouraged.
Happy scheming!

mean,in statistics, a type of averageaverage,
number used to represent or characterize a group of numbers. The most common type of average is the arithmetic mean. See median; mode.
..... Click the link for more information. . The arithmetic mean of a group of numbers is found by dividing their sum by the number of members in the group; e.g., the sum of the seven numbers 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, and 19 is 70 so their mean is 70 divided by 7, or 10. Less often used is the geometric mean (for two quantities, the square root of their product; for n quantities, the nth root of their product).

The Masters tee off today. What won't be any different this year from the last decade or so of The Masters is that the media's stories will all be about Tiger Woods. What will be different from the last decade or so of The Masters is that the media's stories are all about Tiger but not about how well he swings the sticks. No, it's still about the "scandal" from half of a year ago. I feel like this has gotten more attention than Michael Vick's dog fighting ring. My opinion on this has already been documented though. The reason I'm going to be willing to put up with all the questions surrounding this is because I love watching Tiger Woods. The man is simply phenomenal. I hope he makes his return and just flat out stomps the competition. I don't want it to even be close. I want him to make the non-verbal statement of "I'm back. I'm the best. Deal with it."

The Simple Maths post seems to be the most popular article in the so-far short life of this blog.
It's also something that I have received a few emails about recently, so I feel like posting a bit more on the subject.
I think that the code can speak for itself… We implement a loop, which calls the builtin
read function (I'm not sure the "-p" flag, to provide a prompt, is universal. It does work with the Bash builtin. If it doesn't work on your *nix, it's really only for show, so you can live without it.
read works on standard input (aka "stdin"), it will work interactively from the keyboard, or direct from a file (one number per line).
We use two methods of doing maths in the shell:
expr, because it's a simple and easily-read way to do simple maths:
n=`expr $n + 1`
bc, because it is more powerful. Do have a play with
bcinteractively, it can do a lot... see below.
So, we can write a fairly simple script (read down, it's only actually 11 lines of code without the comments), which is actually quite versatile - it can do running averages, it can be interactive or run from cron, called from another script, even used as a function.
So, here's the code. It should be fairly self-explanatory, but do have a look at the interactive
bc sample session below, to see what we are doing with
bc. Also, do play with
bc (some Linux distros have dropped it from the default install recently, so you'll have to
yast -i bc, or equivalent)
The Script - Calculate Averages
#!/bin/sh # Calculate mean (average) of integer data # Initialise the variables n=0 # n being the number of (valid) data provided sum=0 # sum being the running total of all data # Note that by using ^D (aka "EOF") to quit, this # script will work just as well interactively, as # when provided with a file containing the data. while read -p "Enter a number (^D to quit): " x do # expr is useful for simple maths sum=`expr $sum + $x` # If this fails, it was non-numeric input if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then # Okay, it was valid input. n=`expr $n + 1` # We can provide a "running average" here; # I'll comment it out for now. # echo "Running Average:" # echo "scale=2;$sum/$n" | bc # echo fi done # Okay, we've done the loop. # Present the data. echo "Overall Average:" # bc is more useful than expr for # more involved maths, though its # syntax, particularly in a script, # is possibly less obvious. # Using bc interactively is easier # than using it in a shell script echo "scale=2;$sum/$n" | bc
Interactive bc
The bold text is user input. The rest is from
$ bc

|I'll be entering base2 (binary)
|So, I enter 1001001 (73)
|And it replies with the answer in base 10
|Does this set the input base back to 10?
|Let's input "10", it should reply "10"
|No, we entered "10" in base 2, which is 2!
|So, 10 in binary is 1010 (8+2)
|We say 10
|And bc says 10. Good, we're back to normal
|And the same for 11
|Good, it works. Now for some maths..
|1 + 2
|(tricky stuff!)
|Yes, that's good, 1+2=3
|23 + 34 + 45 + 56
|We're not limited to x+y
|So we can build up our sums
|10/3 = 3 and a third, right?
|Not to 0 decimal places.
|Okay, let's have 2 decimal places
|Now ask again
|That's better
|Or to 5 points?
|Ask again...
|And it works!
|One point:
|And ask again
|As we expected.
|So, scale=0 means 0 places
|Should say 3
|Yes, we're back to where we started.
Back to the Script
That made a nice break. Now we'll go back to the script... it's only actually 11 lines long:
#!/bin/sh n=0 sum=0 while read x do sum=`expr $sum + $x` if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then n=`expr $n + 1` fi done echo "scale=2;$sum/$n" | bc
And as I said, we can use it interactively, or with a file of data:
$ cat data.txt 4 5 6 $ average.sh 5.00
Because, under *nix, EVERYTHING IS A FILE, even the keyboard!

Though he was criticized for problems such as an ever-increasing national debt and the illegal selling of arms to Nicaragua, prosperity soared during his terms. The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union eased as Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed a series of arms reduction treaties. Reagan also nominated the first woman to the Supreme Court. When he left the White House in 1989, he commanded a popularity that few other outgoing presidents have enjoyed.

Mongolian Triathlon Union announces new composition

The Mongolian Triathlon Union (MTrU) held its biennial congress on October 8th in Ulaanbaatar. The agenda comprised the report presentations from the secretariat, event planning for 2012 as well as the election of president, vice presidents and board members.
In his remarks to the congress delegates, re-elected MTrU President Ts.Sandui said, "Since its creation in 2004, the MTrU has joined ITU and ASTC and our athletes regularly competed at the World and Asian Championships / Events organized by the two organizations. As a result, number of triathletes in the country has grown, consistently.
Now, it is time to aim at the higher level of development. Only those triathletes with adequate financial support and improved training facility are well suited to compete at the regional level" he said.
The congress also unanimously appointed T.Nasankhuu as First Vice President, D.Dashdavaa, T.Chuluunkhuu, G.Dorjpalam, D.Batjargal, D.Jargalsaikhan, O.Nooj as Vice Presidents and named B.Bayarkhuu as new Chairman of the Audit Committee. B.Tsagaanbaatar was re-appointed as MTrU Secretary General.
In addition to swearing in its newest executives, the Board welcomed 18 new members including: S.Bayartsogt, Member of the Parliament and Minister of Finance, N.Naranbat, Country Representative of Intel Co., D.Dashzeveg, Vice Chairman of the National Security Council's Secretariat, and B.Tsogtbaatar, PhD Candidate of Simon Fraser University.

Won't somebody think of the coaches?
The quiet process of whittling down the list of possible candidates has chugged along, with young Mr. Anthopoulos narrowing his gaze from from 200 persons to 40 to 9 (allegedly, if an off-handed remark from Beeston on PTS is to be believed). There have been many names tossed around by those of us on the outside, generally with our own particular take on what the team needs (Fredi! Bobby V! LaRussa! A big name! A development guy! Canadian Guy! Joe Maddon!)
And while we're rather enthusiastic about a new face at the helm of the on-field management, we've been really quite happy with the state of the coaching staff, to the point where we've made comments along the lines that the entire group should be retained. Which seemed in our own head to be eminently reasonable.
Of course, we're not one of those coaches.
Full credit to CP's Shi Davidi (who is in a neck-and-neck race with NatPost's John Lott for Beat Writer of the Year, so far as we are concerned) for shaking us out of our comfy doldrums, and pointing out in an excellent piece yesterday the degree to which there is uncertainty amongst that group of esteemed gentlemen.
It might have crossed our mind that Brian Butterfield might walk if he weren't given the opportunity to do more than coach Adam Lind's happy feet and fist bump players as they conclude their home run trots. But what we really hadn't played through in our mind was what might happen with Dwayne Murphy or Bruce Walton, who've both contributed significantly to the team's relative success this year.
(And really: Given the relationship that Pappy Walton seems to have developed with his crew of pitchers, does anyone want to see a brand new face come in next year to try moulding those throwers in his own image? That seems like a disaster waiting to happen.)
What we might want to happen to this team might seem like the most reasonable scenario: Keep all the good guys, get rid of the dead wood and bring in someone to lead the rest of them. But given that pride and personality tend to intercede in these times, we're not sure that such a simple solution is likely.

Such a solution seems bloody unlikely. If Butter walks, I'll get over it. But Walton must stay. HE MUST. Then again, I was head over heels enamored with Brad Arnsberg, and his departure worked out rather nicely. This is shaping up to be the best off-season ever!!!1

I want Bobby V, but only so a Canadian station will play "The Zen of Bobby V". Does anyone know where I can download/purchase that?

I want no part of any of this fantasy Joe Maddon talk - fuck 'em! - who started this nonsense anyway? But, I am warming to Griff's push for Rays bench coach Dave Martinez.
I kind of like the idea of an up and comer, and a guy serving under Maddon would be well-versed in game management without the folksy bullshit Maddon brings (which irritates me - hey, personal prewference man).
Retaining Walton is crucial. He's the inspiration behind the cohesive group of SP. How can you knock the results (and relative health)?
You gotta think Butter goes if he doesn't get the job (though it warmed my heart to read his quote..."I want to be a Blue Jay". Fuck yes, Butter).
Murph....ah, I dunno. How much of the mashing is Murph magic vs Cito magic? And I can't get past an interview I saw with him during the season (on Jays Connected, I think) where he derided the importance of things like "OBP" and taking a walk. Because taters are where it's at, baby. Do both have to be mutually exclusive?
- September 23, 2010 at 10:22 AM
The only coach I hope stays is Walton because I think he's done a great job.I think Butter is stale and it bugs me Wilner pushing him 10 times a day as manager-which I think would be a huge mistake...Murphy is too focused on just hitting the long ball and forget about walks. I could be happy with Dave Martinez as well.

Funny, Ack, that your heart warmed at that thought. Because I read "I want to be a Blue Jay" as "I want to be here, but fuck you jokers if you don't do right by me."

Tao, I do know this - I want to be a weekend contributor at ToS.
Seriously though, I kinda read it as a plea to keep his job in the event he doesn't get the Big Chair. Y'know, in case things don't work out with his pal Bucky Showalter in Baltimore.

We outsiders don't know the dynamics of the relationship(s) between the "coaches" - IF that relationship is good then Butter HAS to be the new manager with Murph and Bruce back.
IF their relationship is NOT SO HOT - then hire outside and give that guy carte blanche to bring in his guys. A new head coach needs guys loyal to him.
Personally - I like Butter on my toast with Murph and Bruce as a side dish.
- September 23, 2010 at 1:06 PM
Coaches have to have a different look at stuff like OBP than a GM does. You don't necessarily want a player trying to change his approach in order to get more walks because that may be counterproductive.
- September 23, 2010 at 3:21 PM
I think the Grip-N-Rip approach has really got the most out of this group of players. Is it likely that we can teach Vernon and Hill and the like to start walking 80 times a year? This team doesn't have too many patient eyes, and the last time we saw a hacker double his walk total, he was suddenly hitting 66, 64, and 65 home runs (a la the Vitiligeous One). Can you teach patience without enduring the effects of the '08 season? (or '07, or whatever nightmare that was...)

It's that time again - the April sketch is up at Sarah's Cards for your chance to win a £10 e-voucher. All you have to do is hop on over to the blog to get details of the sketch and then post a link to your page in the comments by May 2nd.
Here is my page - I wanted to document the fact that Benjamin loves to put everything in his mouth - it's one part of the 'Benjamin test' - is it chewable? (along with is it bashable?). I like the coordinated feel that using papers from one range gives on my pages, but I also like to mix things up a bit now & then! This page is a middle ground, because I used three different ranges from the same manufacturer - Echo Park 'Springtime', 'Little Boy' & 'Playground' - so the styles are similar and perfect for mixing & matching.
Still managing to stamp on every layout right now - this time 'you make me happy' from an American Crafts stamp set. I also love misting at the moment - this time I created a mask by cutting out a big circle from cardstock & placing it in the middle of my page with repositionable herma so I could remove it again easily, but it didn't move whilst misting!

In July, Uma Thurman and her French financier beau, Arpad Busson, welcomed a baby girlinto the world. While the couple was happy to announce the birth, they kept quiet on their daughter's name. Until now.
Yesterday, a rep for the Kill Bill star shared the news with People magazine, announcing that the couple named their daughter Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson. Or as the family calls her, Luna. The couple hasn't revealed the meaning behind the names, but the rep says that "each name has a special reason and meaning to her mother and father."
Luna is the first child for the couple, but each have two children from previous relationships.
Do you think Uma chose too many names for Luna? What do you think of multiple names for a baby?

avocados, cherries, kohlrabi, market, peaches, salad, vegetables, Vegetarian
Though still a bit frazzled having arrived just over a week ago, I'm back in California for an extended visit (sissy getting married!) and finding myself assuredly falling back into old habits. The commute to work first veers towards grabbing a convenient cup of coffee for the drive; gym clothes, work shoes, and all other essentials now reside in my (borrowed) car; and I thoroughly enjoy being able to order things such as soy lattes or buckwheat organic spinach crepes at the farmers' market.
Memorial Day weekend brought about a mini reunion – old friends, new friends, crisscrossing circles, kiddies, babies, and adults alike. Best of all, Sandra and Lolo made the drive up to Norcal to partake in the weekend festivities.
We first drew ambitious plans of cooking up a storm at a friend's backyard BBQ. However, as the weekend and time quickly passed us by, Sandra and I settled to raid the Campbell Farmers' Market for the freshest of veggies and the sweetest of fruits in order to toss together a few simple but tasty salads for our party contribution.
I defaulted to creating a super-sized version of kohlrabi slaw, but substituted sesame seed oil and a touch of olive oil for the fish sauce to accommodate the vegans, and added just a splash of rice wine vinegar (3:1 ratio of oil to vinegar). Of course, some extra found goodies were also added: chopped green onion, cilantro, rainbow carrots, cucumber, and pickled ginger/beets (found at a kraut stand that additionally offered kimchi and pickled jalapenos). The ginger/beets painted my originally color diversified salad with a uniform shade of magenta, but nonetheless added great crunch with just a hint of "sauer."
Sandra and Lolo endeavored together on a beautiful chopped veggie salad and an additional fruit salad. The chopped salad, lightly tossed in a lemon and olive oil, with a pinch of salt and pepper included a variety of mixed greens, cherry heirloom tomatoes, oven roasted baby beets, half a pound worth of shaved parmesan, and a Sandra-requirement… two jumbo Haas avocados. We desperately searched the market for perfectly ripened avocados, and next a Trader Joe's, but finally sped into trusty Whole Foods as the last resort. Not the first time a Whole Foods has saved the day!
The fruit salad nicely balanced out our array. The farmers market yielded wonderfully sweet and seasonal fruits that filled two big bowls with strawberries, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and juicy white and yellow peaches (plus a squeeze of lime juice to macerate everything).
Yes, we know – it's been a while since Sandra and I have made a squeak in the blog-o-sphere. But hopefully the days of being MIA are behind us as the fantastic weekend together brought about a few new ideas and delicious inspirations… stay tuned!

Case Number: 5-106-003(B), Year Published: 2006
HBS Number: KEL201
Economies of Scale, Consolidation, Demand with Strong Taste for Variety
Demand in some markets displays a strong taste for variety. This means that the market consists of small niches, each with strong preference for a distinct version of the basic product. Examples include markets with strong local character (local video stores, dry cleaning, etc.), products appealing to specialized tastes (micro-brewed beer, specialty restaurants), and markets for entertainment content. Car retailing falls into this category because demand is fundamentally local in nature. A key strategy in such industry is consolidation. This case studies attempts at consolidating automobile retailing, emphasizing their pitfalls and showing that they were based on overly optimistic assessment of the potential economies of scale and creation of customer value. The learning objectives are to introduce the concept of demand with strong taste for variety, as well as economies of scale and consolidation strategies.

Turning around I saw a long line of buffalo, the first few were approaching the top of the bluff and were just a few feet away! They extended for quite a distance down the hill. I immediately got back into the van and put the windows down so I could take pictures.
The vast majority of the buffalo came up on the passenger side of the van but the one above and below came up on the drivers side, and oh, so close!
I think this one must have been the calf of the one above. They stuck pretty close to each other the entire time I saw them.
I thought this was the last of them...
So after they passed by, I gathered some nerve and stood up outside the van and saw more of them coming.
Others that had already come up moved slowly through the parking lot, some continuing on across the road. But some of them stopped to browse or scratch their bellies on the posts that delineated the parking lot.
They were of all different ages and sizes and colors. Just like people, bison have distinguishing characteristics too.
For about 15 minutes I was entirely alone with this herd of bison. It was incredible. The sounds they made were like nothing I had ever heard before – growling, grunting, snorting. This car was stopped in the road waiting for the buffalo to pass – it took about 30 minutes from the time I first saw them for all of them to get to the top of the bluff and across the highway. This one lone bison lingered for quite some time scratching his belly on the post then he (or she) too moved on. And all I could do was shake my head and say Wow! again and again.

Your questions — and your chance to win!

Good morning Ozzie.Happy new year.all the best !
we all know that a world series is not such.
It shoud have been called USA series instead.
1.Don't you think that it's about time that baseball organizations of Japan,Taiwan,Italy,Netherlands,Venezuela,Dominican Republic,Pto Rico,Nicaragua,Colombia,Panama etc etc
start thinking of a real world series in the near future?
2.If soccer has a real world championship every 4 years why baseball hasn't been able to organize one so far?
Thanks and good luck this coming season.Hopefully we'll see you as a Marlins manager next year.

ISO quercus alba
White Oak is a long-lived, slow-growing tree, reaching 60 to 100 feet in height with a spread of 50 to 90 feet in its native bottomland soil. Old specimens can be massive, growing to be several hundred years old. The red fall color is fairly reliable year to year and is outstanding among the oaks in USDA hardiness zones 8a and colder areas. Brown leaves may be held on the tree into the early part of the winter.–Gilman and Watson
According to the USDA's Woody Plant Seed Manual, quercus is the largest genus of trees native to the United States and was designated as the "national tree" by the National Arbor Day Foundation in 2004. White oaks typically don't bear acorns until their twentieth year. The large seedcrop years are spaced out, every four to ten years.
Nurseries don't do much of a job propagating these.
This time last year I had twenty of these juveniles in pots; this year I haven't been able to find a single acorn. I've checked in four counties and bicycled to neighborhoods in Charlottesville looking for acorns where they are typically plentiful. No joy. The New York Times has story noting the smallest acorn crop in 20 years.

Story highlights
- Dean Obeidallah: Leaders of many faiths to speak at RNC, except, glaringly, an imam
- Some Republicans spread hate against Muslims and immigrants for political gain, he says
- Obeidallah: This fear-mongering creates an environment that inspires violence
- He says RNC Chairman Reince Priebus should ask a Muslim-American imam to speak
A Catholic priest, a rabbi, an evangelical minister, a Sikh, a Greek Orthodox archbishop and two Mormon leaders walk into the Republican National Convention.
It sounds like the beginning of a joke. But the Republican Party's decision to invite representatives from all of these faiths to speak at this week's convention, but to exclude a Muslim-American imam, is anything but funny.
The Republican Party has a problem with Muslims. Of course, American Muslims can take some solace in the fact that we are not the only minority group that the Republican Party hardly welcomes.
Let's be honest, if you don't like Muslims, blacks, gays, immigrants or other minorities, which political party would make you feel most comfortable? Sure, some Republican officials are minorities, but a recent Galllup survey found that 89% of the Republican Party is white.
To be clear, I don't believe that most rank-and-file members of the Republican Party hate Muslims. The problem is that certain Republican leaders have stoked the flames of hate toward American Muslims, and other minorities, as a political tool to motivate people to support their cause.
For example, recently Rep. Michele Bachmann -- along with four other Republican House members -- asserted that the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated the U.S. government. Bachmann, who is in a tough re-election battle in her redrawn congressional district, even "named names" by claiming that Secretary Hillary Clinton's top aide, Huma Abedin, and Rep. Keith Ellison were connected to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Although Republican Sen. John McCain publicly denounced Bachmann's baseless allegations, just a few weeks later, Republican Rep. Joe Walsh escalated the fear-mongering. Walsh, who is in a tight race with Democratic opponent Tammy Duckworth, told constituents at a town hall meeting in the Chicago suburbs that there are radical Muslims living among them who are plotting to kill them: "One thing I'm sure of is that there are people in this country -- there is a radical strain of Islam in this country -- it's not just over there -- trying to kill Americans every week." Walsh even claimed that this Muslim radical was in his district: "It's in Elk Grove. It's in Addison. It's in Elgin. It's here."
And let's not forget that during this year's Republican presidential primaries, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain told voters that American Muslims want to impose Islamic law in America. It's a truly astounding task when you consider that this would require the 2.6 million Muslims in the U.S. to overpower the other 300 million Americans and implement an Islamic legal system. Obviously, this assertion is not based on facts, but to politicians desperate for votes, facts don't matter.
This type of rhetoric has yielded two distinct consequences. First, it can be seen in the attitudes of Republicans who have been poisoned by the anti-Muslim voices in their party. A recent poll found that 62% of Obama voters view American Muslims favorably, but only 34% of Romney voters shared that positive outlook.
Even more alarming is that fear-mongering by politicians can create an environment that inspires violence against the people being demonized. It sends a message that these people are "others" and not truly Americans like the rest of us.
For example, within a few weeks of Bachmann's comments, a suspicious fire destroyed a mosque in Missouri. And days after Walsh's warnings that Muslim terrorists were living in the Chicago suburbs, a homemade acid bomb was thrown at an Islamic school, pellet gunshots were fired at a mosque, and Muslim headstones at a cemetery were defaced with anti-Muslim graffiti, all in the Chicago area. It's impossible to know whether these hateful acts were related to the remarks, but the climate created by fear-mongering does not encourage tolerance.
Getting back to this week's Republican Convention: The Republican Party should be applauded for including so many faiths, especially the Sikhs, who number about 200,000 Americans and whose community was targeted by a hate-filled gunman who killed six people in a place of worship. But excluding Muslims sends a message that American Muslims are not part of the fabric of this country. That is wrong.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus still has time to correct this mistake. He could invite a Muslim-American imam to be a part of this week's convention. That would send a clear message that the Republican Party is truly welcoming of all major religions practiced in the U.S.
It also would send a message that there is no place for hate in the GOP against any American minority group. It's now up to Preibus to show whether the Republican Party stands for inclusiveness or division.

While prevention of neural tube defect — birth defects of the brain and spinal cord — is perhaps the most widely known reason for taking folic acid before and during pregnancy, recent research brings additional benefits of prenatal folic acid supplementation to light. A study published in the October issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that use of folic acid supplements in early pregnancy significantly reduces the risk of severe language delay in children at 3 years of age [1].

GAZA (Reuters) - Two rockets fired from the Gaza Strip targeted Tel Aviv on Thursday in the first attack on Israel's commercial capital in 20 years, raising the stakes in a showdown between Israel and the Palestinians that is moving towards all-out war.
Earlier, a Hamas rocket killed three Israelis north of the Gaza Strip, drawing the first blood from Israel as the Palestinian death toll rose to 19, six of them children.
Israeli warplanes bombed targets in and around Gaza city for a second day, shaking tall buildings. In a sign of possible escalation, the armed forces spokesman said the military had received the green light to call in up to 30,000 reserve troops.
Plumes of smoke and dust furled into a sky laced with the vapour trails of outgoing rockets over the crowded city, where four young children killed on Wednesday were buried.
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said Palestinian militants would pay a price for firing the missiles.
In the latest air strikes, three people were killed when a missile hit their car in the northern Gaza Strip. The Israeli military also said it had carried out aerial attacks and had destroyed 70 unmanned missile launch sites.
An electricity generator supplying the home of Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh by the Gaza shore was one of the sites hit by Israeli missiles.
The conflict, launched by Israel with the killing of Hamas's military chief, pours oil on the fire of a Middle East already ablaze with two years of revolution and an out-of-control civil war in Syria.
Israel says its attack is in response to escalating missile strikes from Gaza. Israel's bombing has not yet reached the saturation level seen before it last invaded Gaza in 2008, but Israeli officials have said a ground assault is still possible.
Egypt's new Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, viewed by Hamas as an ally, led a chorus of denunciation of the Israeli strikes by Palestinian allies.
Mursi's prime minister, Hisham Kandil, will visit Gaza on Friday with other Egyptian officials in a show of support for the enclave, an Egyptian cabinet official said. Israel promised that the delegation would come to no harm.
Israeli police said three Israelis died when a rocket hit a four-story building in the town of Kiryat Malachi, 25 km (15 miles) north of Gaza, the first Israeli fatalities of the latest conflict to hit the coastal region.
Air raid sirens sent residents running for shelter in Tel Aviv, a Mediterranean city that has not been hit by a rocket since the 1991 Gulf War. Israeli sources said one rocket landed in the sea, while another landed in an uninhabited area of the Tel Aviv suburbs.
The Tel Aviv metropolitan area holds more than 3 million people, more than 40 percent of Israel's population.
"This escalation will exact a price that the other side will have to pay," Barak said in a television broadcast shortly after the strike.
Speaking at the same time in Gaza, Hamas leader Haniyeh urged Egypt to do more to help the Palestinians.
"We call upon the brothers in Egypt to take the measures that will deter this enemy," the Hamas prime minister said.
After watching powerlessly from the sidelines of the Arab Spring, Israel has been thrust to the centre of a volatile new world in which Islamist Hamas hopes that Mursi and his newly dominant Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt will be its protectors.
"The Israelis must realise that this aggression is unacceptable and would only lead to instability in the region and would negatively and greatly impact the security of the region," Mursi said.
The new conflict will be the biggest test yet of Mursi's commitment to Egypt's 1979 peace treaty with Israel, which the West views as the bedrock of Middle East peace.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which brought Mursi to power in an election after the downfall of Hosni Mubarak, has called for a "Day of Rage" in Arab capitals on Friday.
The Gaza offensive began on Wednesday when a precision Israeli air strike killed Hamas military mastermind Ahmed Al-Jaabari. Israel then began shelling the enclave from land, air and sea.
At Jaabari's funeral on Thursday, supporters fired guns in the air celebrating news of the Israeli deaths, to chants for Jaabari of "You have won."
His corpse was borne through the streets wrapped in a bloodied white sheet. But senior Hamas figures were not in evidence, wary of Israel's warning they are in its crosshairs.
The Israeli army said 250 targets were hit in Gaza, including more than 130 rocket launchers. It said more than 270 rockets had struck Israel since the start of the operation, with its Iron Dome interceptor system shooting down more than 105 rockets headed for residential areas.
Expecting days or more of fighting and almost inevitable civilian casualties, Israeli warplanes dropped leaflets in Gaza telling residents to stay away from Hamas and other militants.
The United States has asked countries that have contact with Hamas to urge the group to stop its rocket attacks from Gaza, a White House adviser said.
"We've ... urged those that have a degree of influence with Hamas such as Turkey, and Egypt and some of our European partners to use that influence to urge Hamas to de-escalate," said Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, in a conference call with reporters.
French President Francois Hollande has begun talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other world leaders in an attempt to avert an escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Jean-Francois Ayrault said.
British Prime Minister David Cameron also spoke to Netanyahu, saying Hamas bore the principal responsibility for the crisis.
Israel's sworn enemy Iran, which supports and arms Hamas, condemned the Israeli offensive as "organised terrorism". Lebanon's Iranian-backed Shi'ite militia Hezbollah, which has its own rockets aimed at the Jewish state, denounced strikes on Gaza as "criminal aggression", but held its fire. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation condemned Israel's action.
Oil prices rose more than $1 (63 pence) as the crisis grew. Israeli shares and bonds fell, while Israel's currency rose off Wednesday's lows, when the shekel slid more than 1 percent to a two-month low against the dollar.
A second Gaza war has loomed on the horizon for months as waves of Palestinian rocket attacks and Israeli strikes grew increasingly intense and frequent. Netanyahu, favoured in polls to win a January 22 general election, said the Gaza operation could be stepped up.
Hamas has said the killing of its top commander in a precise, death-from-above air strike, would "open the gates of hell" for Israel.
