The History of Atomic Chemistry: Crash Course Chemistry #37
How did we get here? Well, in terms of Atomic Chemistry, Hank takes us on a tour of the folks that were part of the long chain of other folks who helped us get to these deeper understandings of the world. From Leucippus to Heisenberg to you - yes, YOU - the story of Atomic Chemistry is all wibbly-wobbly… and amazing.
CRASH COURSE HAS A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! Congratulation!
Woohoo! Thank you! -Meredith
Congratulations to Crash Course and welcome to the Million Subscribers Club! We'll see you at the club house later, right?
Want to know more about her? Yeah you do.
Hank talked a little bit about Ms Franklin in this episode of Crash Course Biology, but we are also planning a whole Great Minds episode about her for SciShow!
The Nucleus: Crash Course Chemistry #1
Hank does his best to convince us that chemistry is not torture, but is instead the amazing and beautiful science of stuff. Chemistry can tell us how three tiny particles - the proton, neutron and electron - come together in trillions of combinations to form … everything. In this inaugural episode of Crash Course Chemistry, we start out with one of the biggest ideas in chemistry ever - stuff is made from atoms. More specifically, we learn about the properties of the nucleus and why they are important to defining what an atom actually is.
If you like SciShow and you like Hank, maybe you will like this other channel he participates in: last year he taught biology and ecology - this year, he's tackling chemistry. First episode went up on Monday - check it out!
Hank Green! + Crash Course!
Hey fellow nerds and NerdFighters! Today was really exciting for us in the UMZM, because Hank Green of the extremely popular YouTube channels Vlogbrothers, Crash Course, SciShow, and a variety of other Internet- and real-world famous educational endeavors visited our collection! For his next episode in Crash Course Hank will be discussing the vertebrate skeleton, so what better place to do off-site filming than our museum?! Here are some photos I snapped during the shoot. I'm so excited to post the video next week so, as always, stay tuned!

Palace Cinema
The Square,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Treharris Workmen's Hall was built in 1894 and opened in 1895. The funding of the building being paid by subscriptions from the miners employed at the nearby Deep Navigation and Ocean Collieries.
Located in Treharris, near to Merthyr Tydfil, the building was a typical Workmens' Hall design with two shops at its base, either side of the entrance and facing the square. In 1920 one shop unit was a grocery store and the other housed a branch of Barclays Bank.
By 1937 it was the Palace Theatre, and had a 28 feet wide proscenium and a 20 feet depp stage. There were three dressing rooms. At that time the Palace Theatre was equipped with a Klang-Tobis sound sytem. By 1954, an RCA sound system had been fitted.
By 1963, Cinemascope had been installed, with a screen within the original 28 feet wide proscenium. There were now four dressing rooms. The Palace Cinema was still open in 1966, but had closed by 1980.

The demolition of the Palace Cinema commenced on the 25th of January 2000. The site has been acquired by the Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association who are proposing to construct flats on the site.

Where are you from? Texas
Where are you going?
Heading to the garment district to source fabric.
How do you define style?
Style is a boring thing done interesting. A different way of doing… A cat has style. I've seen men in jail with more style than most. Jesus had style, John the Baptist, Caesar. Not many have style and even fewer can keep it.
Describe your personal style.
Classic, American man, circa '62
What men's fashion trends will stand the test of time?
Navy blazers, grey trousers, suede tasseled loafers, cashmere, chalk stripes, seersucker, Levis 501s, pocket squares, manners, the written word, letters (getting and giving) and a damn good tailor.
Men's fashion trends you wish would disappear?
What are your must-have accessories?
A good watch, a white linen pocket square, a tie clip, a watch fob, a good bag, well-worn Levi's that you bought new.
What style advice do you have for men?
Be present. Look around, explore, get local. Chose the difficult over the safe. Don't give a damn what people think, but be aware there are consequences.

Smith: 'Doctor Prefers Chess to Sex'
Matt Smith has revealed that rather than letting the Queen take his Bishop the Doctor would much rather play chess.
Smith was asked on fingers down the blackboard of your soul, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, whether the Doctor had ever had a night of passion on board the TARDIS , to which he joked:
"No. The Doc's idea of an orgy is playing chess with an ostrich. His brain doesn't work in that way. He would find it weird and peculiar. He finds women peculiar. He is quite asexual."
Well that and the fact that he's not human which raised the question: does the doctor have a 'universal adaptor' or an anatomical Sonic Screwdriver?
The answer to which is: who cares?
Anyway Carr found time to ask Smith about the 'resting' of the Daleks and also Matt's wishes for the 50thAnniversary in 2013 where he hopes to see past doctors like David Tennant, Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston (as if!) pop their heads around the TARDIS door one last time.
If you're a glutton for punishment you can view the whole thing on YouTube, or skip to around 27:30 for Matt's appearance.
4 Responses to Smith: 'Doctor Prefers Chess to Sex'
I rather like that the 11th Doctor is asexual-it strays from the norm in a pleasant way. It is clear however, that The Doctor hasnt always been asexual such as how the 10th Doctor hinted at taking Queen Elizabeth I's virginity, among other examples.
So I find it an interesting and very refreshing development that the 11th Doctor is asexual. Its always very funny to see him get so flustered in romantic situations. Its definetally clear that he'd much rather be fighting aliens than dealing with romance. XD
I am asexual also so its very nice to see asexuality get some visibility-even if it isnt amazingly obvious. ^_^

Tonight on Theme of the Week, will see a reunion of Educating Will & Matt as Mathew Morris will be making a special guest appearance, it's my birthday see so need to do something special!
Tune in at 9pm for a show featuring birthday songs, Irish music (what a coincidence) and telling of the times since our last show together in 2012.
Educating Will is returning, with a new name, a new theme, on a new station.
Wednesdays - 5-6pm - Loughborough Campus Radio..
You know when we said on the previous show on Mon that it was the last chance to hear us? We were wrong - you can listen to us again today at 3.40pm on The Final Countdown (Livewire's end of the year day-long show featuring various of many of its shows from throughout the year)!
Listen in on www.livewire1350.com at 3.40pm to hear us sign off properly for the year, along with a few songs - also listen in throughout the rest of the day to check out some of Livewire's many other entertaining shows!
Tomorrow's show is the last show of this year.
So listen to it - 10.30am-12.00pm Monday 14th May 2012.
There will be new suggestions, old suggestions, highlights of the show, topics, excitement, fun and games, fabulous prizes - and fruitcake to whichever listener comes up to the studio first (no, the cake is ours)! To everyone else, please please listen in for some last minute education/write in/visit the studio/do something that is vaguely connected in some way!
So yeah, be there and be something: www.livewire1350.com
Hello Educatees, it's been too long! Matt and I have been 'enjoying' the slightly irritating time in the year when coursework/exam preparations take priority over the time that is usually dedicated to radio broadcasting/blog writing, which is why there hasn't been a post in a while - however, this quick one should keep you all up to date!
Mondays 23rd + 30th April were our 'best-of' shows parts 1 and 2, because we just had so many favourites from the past series that we wanted to play again - aren't we appreciative! These are just some of the ones we got through:
Also on the 23rd, we got to enjoy Jerusalem as covered by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (you can work out the theme for that day)! But yeah, looking back I think we had a pretty successful series (or maybe just a couple of very disorganised weeks) considering the struggle we had of sorting out a playlist that covered everything we liked - so many thanks to all our suggestees!
Mon 7th May - Of course, this is not the end by any means, oh no! As today, me and Matt have been recording our classical music special podcast, 'All The Classics,' which was meant to be broadcast live today on Livewire but due to the cruelty that is May Day (we're students, we don't follow these sorts of holidays), we were unable to get into the studio. So we decided out of keenness, to record the show and release it as a podcast in the near future. Will keep you updated on the location of such a thing - if you've requested any classical music for that show/just interested to hear something a bit different from us, check it out!
And of course, don't forget to tune in next week on 14th May@ 10.30am on Livewire 1350AM for what may be our final show this year, unless we find a different station to broadcast us/do it as a podcast/etc etc…
Do send us your suggestions of absolutely any music (fb/email/'ask page' on tumblr/text us or the studio) - we want to get as much in our last show as is physically/mentally possible!
Just to let you all know, Matt and I are back on the air later this morning - for our highlights of Series 2 show, 10.30-11.30am BST (finishing up early - we both have lots of work to do, don't tell the boss…), on Livewire 1350AM.
(There's a link somewhere on this page, go find it).
If you've requested a song some point in the last series, tune in - you may hear it again! If you haven't, tune in anyway and hear what great songs people had the wisdom to suggest!
See you later,
Another hot week in the studio - Matt and I finished the penultimate show of Series 2 knowing we now have a diverse collection of songs, many of which will be played again in the next show on the 23rd of April, our best-of this series show! Thanks to everyone who has suggested songs this series, hope we'll hear from you again next series!
My favourite song this week was Hands Away by Interpol (although I was particularly keen on It's Like That by Run-DMC also) - having heard much about Interpol for a few weeks it was nice to finally hear something by them with a recommendation and also to enjoy it - I will be listening to more in the future! Of course, it was also nice to do the same with Bob Dylan, I Want You being suggested as a song to help improve my opinion. Unfortunately, as nice a try as it was, I'm still mostly unmoved on my Bob Dylan views (not keen on voice/music but lyrics are pretty good - a very unoriginal view but there we go) but I appreciate everyone trying to help me out their so cheers! Matt will inform you of his favourite in due course. Also, I've been hearing a lot of suggestions for Neil Young, maybe you will all be hearing him sometime soon…
Many thanks to this week's suggestees: Dan M, Josh B, Sean O and once again, the general public, here are your suggestions listed beneath if you wish to check them out again:
Here are our picks:
And 1001 Songs To Hear Before You Die suggested from 1983:
So for this series, that's it for suggestions - next time we'll be playing a large amount of the songs we've heard in the past seven weeks, if you requested a song, tune in again to see if we play it again (it's highly likely)! Thanks for listening to Series 2, after the best-of we'll be continuing into Series 3 for a few weeks in May-June, we'll be following your ears for a bit longer yet!
Remember: head over to Livewire 1350AM on Monday 23rd April 10.30am-12 for the final show of Series 2 - see you in four weeks!
As the sun shone, and the heat began to well up in the studio, all was looking hopeful for another show - certainly in terms of suggestions, all were enjoyable once again. After Radiohead's Pyramid Song, I decided to get hold of not one, but TWO albums of theirs in the forms of Kid A and Pablo Honey (I've been advised to listen to Pablo Honey first, no sure why though…) However, what may be worrying is that we're starting to run out of of songs for our features; we've got through all the decades for the random song so we'll be going back to being properly random by its definition again as in Series 1 - and for the Leicestershire song, the more vague of the selection is coming out, this week was John Deacon (bassist from Queen, a lad of Leicester) - see what I mean? But all ok in timing for next week will be the penultimate show of this series, the final show being a best-of (sorry).
My favourite of the week was Pyramid Song by Radiohead as you probably guessed from my earlier mention - I'm very aware of Radiohead, know they're popular - only ever listened to Creep,so this suggestion came from the general public - thank you world! Matt's favourite was Cello Wars by The Piano Guys (my suggestion again this week, how interesting), which is a mash-up of themes from Star Wars performed on electric cellos along with relevant sound effects - glad you enjoyed it Matt!
Suggestees this week: Jon M, Sharon M, Kate H and the world, thanks to all of you - here are their suggestions below, check them out:
Our picks of the week:
And 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die suggested from 2010:
Got a couple so far for next week but do let us know if you have any suggestions - it'll be your last chance for this series as we're off air for three weeks across Easter then we'll be back for the best of show so let us know! Text, call, facebook, email us and if you're on Tumblr write on our ask page: http://educatewillandmatt.tumblr.com/ask and write in to the studio http://www.livewire1350.com/ - tune in to Livewire, Monday 26th March 2012 for the penultimate show this series - it's going to be good!
Thanks for listening again (if you did) and thanks for reading this (which you clearly are)! This week the show started out pretty smoothly you may agree, Baker Street definitely being a good place to start - then it all started to get chaotic due to internet instability. However, none of this meant a thing compared to the fact that we received once again a fine range of suggestions, so many in fact that some are still to be played on next week's show - do look out for those if yours wasn't played the other day! Third week in a row now with a Home-Nations-patron-saint-day-theme-of-the-week - we'll try something new next week - of course St. Patrick's Day coming up on Saturday, so it was nice to hear a punk rendition of The Rocky Road To Dublin by The Young Dubliners - do have a listen, fairly different to Wolfe Tones/Pogues/Sherlock Homes versions!
My favourite this week was definitely Santeria by Sublime, always on the lookout for more ska-based songs so this was welcomed - thank you Joe! Matt once again was overwhelmed by the selection, but decided to go for the El Nombre Theme (everyone's favourite maths-solving-gerbil), my choice of the week - picked in connection with World Maths Day last week, unexpectedly convenient!
This week's suggestees: Clare D, Dan M, Joe and Laura B, thanks again very enjoyable selection listed below as always…
Our picks:
Thank you Matt, nice to have you back on the show! I suppose the main thing to comment on about Monday's (05/03) show was though there was once again a very nice but tough variety of tracks (in terms of stringing them together appropriately, though we have now discovered playing Bjork followed by Pearl Jam isn't actually a bad mix at all), this was not the challenge - the challenge was: finding a song for Saint Piran's Day (the patron saint of Cornwall) - a song to be relevant to St. Piran/Cornwall or indeed artists from Cornwall proved to be hard to find. Options included Roger Taylor of Queen, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac or Cornwall by Dutch pagan-folk band, Omnia. But in the end, we were pleased with what we got in the form of Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends (nice village), we'll get to that later…
I have to say my favourite track this week was Joga by Bjork - Bjork being one of those artists who's always been there but It's Oh So Quiet was the only song by her I really knew. And so I did enjoy the second track off Homogenic (1997) to the extent where I immediately went and listened to the full album - a good sign! I'm sure Matt will provide us with his insight soon enough, my guess is it'll be Pearl Jam/Crowded House (Blue Horizon's too obvious (as he's in it (and brackets inside brackets are acceptable)!
This weeks suggestees: Craig T, Annabel B, Jon M and (hi!) Mum for your suggestions - many thanks to you all, check out their suggestions below:
Our picks this week:
And the 1001 Songs To Hear Before You Die book suggested from 1991 (which we already knew but who cares):
So far, no suggestions for Episode #7 so get suggesting (the deadline for suggesting is pretty much five minutes before we go on air) - if you're on Tumblr, write to us on our 'ask page': http://educatewillandmatt.tumblr.com/ask and write in to the studio: http://www.livewire1350.com/
Tune in on Monday 12th March 10.30am-midday, and to quote David R: 'let the educating continue!'
There's no reason to panic everyone. It turns out the guys in Whitehall were, in fact, looking at undated documents from 1963. So there is no imminent threat of nuclear war. Phew.
I'd just like to thank Jon for filling in on Monday and I will be back this Monday to provide my usual strangeness and content-lacking conversational points. Hurrah!
Something was very unusual about Educating Will & Matt the other day, as it took on the form of 'Educating Will & … Jon?' Indeed, Matt was sadly unable to make the show on Monday because the government called him in urgently as they needed consultation on the approaching nuclear war that is apparently well on its way it turns out - and Matt is the man to sort it out! Fortunately, and very kindly of him, Jon, on loan from the 'Jonno and Jimbo Show' - Livewire 1350AM, Fridays @10.30am (check it out) and one of our most committed suggestees, was able to step in and fill the challenging post that is, Matt's chair - thanks very much Jon, it was nice to have you on the show!
I think my favourite track this week was Hexed All by Russian Circles (requested by James, also of the 'Jonno and Jimbo Show'), really getting into that kind of soundscape/ambience at the moment - whereas Jon went for Lovecats of The Cure, as he put it, 'he is a massive The Cure fan!' So it all worked out!
Thank you to our suggestees this week: Mark BS, Annabel B, James H and Vanessa U for your suggestions, a nice variety as always - check them out, they're listed beneath:
Mine and Jon's picks this week:
And the 1001 Songs To Hear Before You Die book suggested from 1985:
Got a couple of suggestions for Episode #6 already but do let us know if you have any more, we'll be interested to hear them even if we don't get round to playing them this time - if you're on Tumblr, write to us on our 'ask page': http://educatewillandmatt.tumblr.com/ask and write in to the studio: http://www.livewire1350.com/
So tune in on Monday 5th March 10.30am-midday, Matt should be back (hopefully he'll solved the end-of-the-world-problem by then)!
Hello everyone!
As promised I thought I'd share my thoughts on Monday's requests. It was a tough one because, as usual, the song requests were all most enjoyable! I must say that my favourite was Lou Reed, though it was all very close. Thanks to those that requested songs and please continue to do so!
I also thought I'd mention that I won't be present on the show on Monday, but I'm sure Will will have some exciting songs, sounds and conversational topics to grace your ears with!

Special to MSN Movies
Once upon a time in the movies, when sex came seductively colored in shades of sin and salvation, women who burned too avidly were called nymphomaniacs, and filmmakers treated them as crazies, monsters, spiritually bankrupt and probably frigid. Often, directors bluffed the censors by obediently punishing their wild women, but only after they -- and the audience -- had a real good time!
Back in the 18th century, when simply being interested in fornication could get a girl locked up in Bedlam, a helpful French physician identified some of the most telling symptoms of nymphomania: "dwelling on impure thoughts, reading novels and eating too much chocolate." Who knew you could catch nymphomania from Harlequin Romances, Godiva candies and "Sex and the City" reruns!?
Nowadays, movie-sex frequently looks like a fitness video, and heavy-duty hooking up -- often instigated by the fairer, but hardly frailer, sex -- has become the norm. If nymphomania is defined as "excessive sexual desire in the female," then gender equality seems to have deep-sixed the stigma of "crazy" and turned lusty ladies such as Pamela Anderson and Trump's Miss USA into distaff versions of horndogs and Don Juans.
So maybe famous sex researcher Alfred Kinsey had the right of it when he noted that a nymphomaniac is just "someone who has more sex than you do"!
So why nymphos, you ask? Why now? Well, the recently released "Black Snake Moan" stars Samuel L. Jackson as a Good Samaritan who takes on the righteous task of taming a rabid nymphomaniac (Christina Ricci). Join us for a stroll through sin cinema where we'll cross paths with some past and present champs of concupiscence -- research to help us judge how the nympho of "Black Snake Moan" measures up!
The Rich, Bored and "Sick" Set
"The Big Sleep" (1946)
The weak, wheelchair-bound old general who's just hired a hard-boiled shamus (Humphrey Bogart) unashamedly confesses he's enjoyed a "gaudy life" and that his wild daughters have inherited his "corrupt blood ... all the usual vices, plus the ones they've invented for themselves." His baddest seed, Carmen (Martha Vickers), prances down a curving staircase in short shorts, slants a considering baby-doll glance at the P.I. in the foyer, then pouts provocatively, "You're not very tall, are you?" Ripostes Bogart, "I try to be." Slack-mouthed, sucking on her thumb as though it were candy, this nymphet decides Bogart's "cute" after all and "tries to sit in his lap while he's standing up." Posed in front of a blackmailer's camera, hiding behind her peekaboo page-boy, Carmen giggles vacuously, tracing aimless patterns on her dress, "high as a kite." Think Paris Hilton playing Lolita, her zombie face locked into an expression of infantile appetite. Early on, Bogart snipes, "Oughta wean her ... she's old enough," but by the end of this most stylish and convoluted of detective tales, the shamus advises the Sternwood daughter that he's fallen for (Lauren Bacall) to send Carmen away: "They have places for that ... maybe they can cure her."
"La Dolce Vita" (1960)
Coolest of the cool, Marcello Mastroianni drifts through decadent, turn-of-the-'60s Rome, savoring the "sweet life" while suffering terribly from angst and disillusionment. At one upscale watering hole, he ankles over to the bar to join a gorgeous socialite, Maddalena (Anouk Aimee). Her artlessly tousled hair frames her elegant face, graced with cheekbones to die for and a lovely mouth thinned by spoiled appetites. All in black, masking a shiner with cat's-eye shades, she's ultra-soignée as she leans back against the bar to sweep a jaded eye over the somnolent dancers. As she and Mastroianni drive through the Eternal City in a big American convertible, pursued by paparazzi, Maddalena confesses that only sex still jolts her into something like feeling. Soon, she's picked up a vulgar, good-hearted hooker, so she can feed on some morsels of hot-blooded reality from the woman's sordid life. In the streetwalker's basement digs, Maddalena lies down on the much-used bed, begging Mastroianni for the connection that tricks this dead soul into believing she's still alive.
Nymphos Over the Top
"Shock Corridor" (1963)
Former newspaperman Sam Fuller (a Tarantino fave) made movies that slammed you like front-page tabloid headlines. In "Shock Corridor," a journalist (Peter Breck), hungry for a Pulitzer Prize, goes underground in a mental institution to research an exposé. In real life, our hero's hot for a stripper (Constance Towers), a dish who looks and talks like an upper-class socialite. He scams the shrinks by convincing them that he sees her as his sister, going berserk when she tries to kiss him. Given our reporter's complicated love life, it's cruel irony that he should find himself in a locked ward populated by sexed-up dames his stream-of-consciousness voiceover identifies as "nymphos!" One stalks him while singing a suggestively nasty version of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"; another embellishes the lascivious graffiti on the walls. Soon the hard-eyed coven moves in to surround their prey, who completely disappears under the writhing heap of voracious women. His anguished howls are so like nightmare, our horrified imagination of what's happening to him far exceeds any reality.
"Supervixens" (1975)
If Sam Fuller went for the emotional jugular, Russ Meyer ("Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"), maestro of '60 and '70s exploitation flicks, aimed to fire up more primal -- and physical -- responses. Credited as writer, cinematographer, editor, producer and director of "Supervixens," Meyer is totally responsible for this insane symphony of oversexed, big-bosomed babes, all of whom are instantly in lust with a baby-faced stud. The female endowments of SuperAngel, SuperCherry, black SuperEula and SuperVixen are as exaggerated as the faceless fertility goddesses -- all breasts and bottoms -- that prehistoric man used to carry around for good luck. The world of these supernymphos is supersexualized; everything -- from pumping gas to jack-hammering post holes to sticks of dynamite -- invokes schtupping, and Meyer cuts like nobody's business, wittily connecting his dynamically suggestive images. Short on the erotic, Meyer's world is strangely innocent and slyly funny, populated by folks who act like overgrown kids who've strapped on big rubber appendages to play bumper cars
Avant-Garde Nymphos
"Women in Revolt" (1971)
Andy Warhol's in-house filmmaker, Paul Morrissey directed, wrote, shot, edited and produced "Women in Revolt," an improvised send-up of women's lib starring three transvestites who were the bee's knees back in the day: Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis and Holly Woodlawn. Meant to outrage prudes and delight the avant-garde, this tacky celebration of unattractive men dressed up as women, given to practicing free love at every turn, now looks dated and sad. The most mindlessly inflamed of the trio, Woodlawn, mostly writhes around on the floor -- or anywhere else -- often screeching "I hate men!" while humping anything that moves. Shot through with ugly misogyny, "Revolt" makes nymphomania revolting.
"A Dirty Shame" (2004)
Dubbed the Sultan of Sleaze, John Waters learned sexual shock tactics from Warhol and Morrissey movies, famously featuring drag-queen Divine in classics such as "Pink Flamingos." In "A Dirty Shame," Waters once again belabors juiceless prudes who hate gays, strip clubs and sex. Turns out a hard bump on the head can make sluts and satyrs of even the most repressed souls, and sexual messiah Johnny Knoxville "heals" Tracey Ullman's drab, libido-less housewife into full-fledged nymphomania. Even trees and shrubbery get in on the carnal act as the whole town goes hypersexual. Time was when these shenanigans might have convulsed us in liberating laughter, but in today's no-holds-barred sexual climate, Waters' satire looks old-fashioned and pointless.
Hell Hath No Fury Like a Nympho Scorned
"The Music Lovers" (1970)
Whether chronicling "Tommy's" bizarre sexual odyssey, D.H. Lawrence's libidinous frenzies ("Women in Love") or the conflicted lives of composers like Liszt and Mahler, outlaw director Ken Russell always saw sex and art as creative acts plugged into the same overheated circuit. At the beginning of "The Music Lovers," his Tchaikovsky biopic, the composer (Richard Chamberlain) rolls happily around in snowdrifts with a peroxide-blond aristocrat he's bedding. But tortured Chamberlain (an oxymoron?!) dreams of a pure, white swan-girl -- like Odile in his "Swan Lake." When a local roundheels (Glenda Jackson), driven by idealistic fantasies of her own, visits the great composer, he imagines her as a virginal muse and marries her. Bad move! Every time Nina comes at him, he recoils in horror, repulsed by her naked body. Pretty soon, Tchaikovsky's bugged out and Nina's gone bonkers, servicing any guy who calls himself Rimsky-Korsakov or Bartok. Locked up in a nightmarish loony bin, Nina continues to practice her nymphomaniacal ways -- a-sprawl over a grating that keeps the male crazies down.
"Written on the Wind" (1956)
A trashy masterpiece supersaturated with Photoplay color, Douglas Sirk's "Wind" blows all the competition away as a prototypical '50s fable about undersexed but righteous folk (Lauren Bacall and Rock Hudson) going up against rich neurotics (Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone) driven to booze, lust and violence. The well-behaved types prevail, of course, but what down-and-dirty fun we have with the vice-ridden duo along the way! Malone is so hot for Hudson (no accounting for taste) that her heavily mascaraed, big blue eyes go all wonky, her impossibly crimson lips swell and the lacquered blonde looks as if she might literally collapse in a carnal swoon. You wouldn't be surprised if steam rose from Malone's curvaceous body. When lumpen Rock spurns her -- "I love you like a sister!" -- Malone fires up her bright-red sports car and lays rubber to pick up any stud who'll scratch her itch. Rubbing up against a hard case in a low-class dive or dancing wildly around her bedroom in a scarlet negligee, Malone's Marylee is as single-minded as a cat in heat. (Her consolation prize: the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.)
Grief Goes Wild
"Under the Skin" (1997)
The death of Iris' beloved mother propels the child-woman into an odyssey of the flesh, fueled by grief and the desire to bury death in sexual acting-out. Tricked out in mom's bedraggled page-boy wig, her clingy slip and ratty fur jacket, Iris smears her eyes with black mascara and her mouth with blood-red lipstick. This carnal Candide (Samantha Morton, burning up the screen in her first feature film) embraces strangers in bars, alleys, offices, sinking ever deeper into sexual degradation. It's unlikely anyone could forget Morton's a capella performance of "Alone Again (Naturally)" at a rest-stop during her descent into hell. In this cinematic rite-of-passage, nymphomania counters the unbearable knowledge that everyone dies, and works as a catalyst for finding one's truest self, under the skin.
David Cronenberg Does Nymphomania
"They Came From Within" (aka
"Shivers") (1975)
A silky-voiced real estate agent strokes a nice young couple, assuring them that Starliner Island Apartments, a totally self-sufficient housing complex, will allow them to "sail through life in perfect comfort and quiet." From the outside, the Starliner looks like a stack of identical boxes, each lighted window marking a container for bloodless relations. Its pastel hallways are like environmental Valium; all of the tenants seem to be pursuing lives of quiet desperation -- in which any sexual excitement would be considered noisy and unnatural. Then a repulsive parasite, a scientific experiment gone wrong, gets loose in the pipes, popping into mouths and other orifices all over the building. Cronenberg's bug looks like a cross between Mr. Hankey and a bloody piece of meat, and when this disgusting aphrodisiac gets into Starliner's ladies and gentlemen, they metamorphose into raving sex maniacs. Even old ladies get hungry for love, and any gender will do. An image that can never be expunged from your mind's eye: horror movie goddess Barbara Steele ("Black Sunday") soaping up in her bathtub, as one of the "things" crawls out of the drain and creeps slowly upward, toward her privy parts. Look for one of William Blake's radical adages, prominently displayed on a lab wall: "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom." Blake's slantwise endorsement of nymphomania and other intemperate behavior stands as Cronenberg's mantra in this creepy indictment of conformity and repression.

lemme talk to you real brief a minute here about cyberbullying.
it's come to my attention that the authors of a certain comic are throwing the term around rather loosely in connection to literally anyone who posts public criticism of their comic. as in, omg you said this character design is cluttered! CYBERBULLY!!!
lemme tell you real swift here
real swift
i got hardcore cyberstalked. back in the 90s that's what we called "cyberbullying" so that's the phrase i'm still gonna use. and i think i have to call bullshit on their accusations of 'cyberbullies.'
this is going to get intense, and so yeah. trigger warnings left right and center here.
when i got cyberstalked/bullied? i had my e-mail hacked. i had my bank account accessed. i had my MUD hacked, and deleted. i had my sites (all of them) hacked and taken down. my livejournal password, along with my instant messenger passwords were all ganked. my art galleries were hacked. i was subjected to 'anonymous' text messages (there is a service for this kind of thing) harassing me all day er'ry day at work. i had all kinds of crazy rumors spread about me - they tried to tell my best friend i'd molested her in her sleep. fortunately being my best friend she just laughed herself silly at that but seriously. seriously. they fired someone for talking to me. they told people i'd killed my cat. you know, that same cat i still have? they found someone who sexually assaulted me, buddied up to them, and then posted transcripts of them describing the assault around the internet.
that is cyberbullying. that is the kind of thing which these bills refer to when they're trying to make it illegal. it's to stop that kind of shit, the shit that makes children kill themselves and adults go totally quackers. it is a real problem, and it does need some kind of action taken. however…
someone saying they dislike your comic, your art, or that they think you are a lame person is not cyberbullying. that's called OPINIONS. that's called CRITIQUE. that's called not everyone will love everything you do. and it's a large part of why the free and open exchange of ideas via the internet even works. PEOPLE DISAGREE. if every time someone critiques your comic or says your art is ugly you make an enormous WAAA PITY ME I WAS A PICKED ON HIGHSCHOOL GIRL AND NO SUPERHEROS EVER HAVE GAY SEX post, you are what we call a fucking wuss. knock that shit off.
if someone says your writing is vapid and your character design is horrible, that's not cyberbullying. that's them expressing their feelings on your comic. IT SUCKS. THEY DONT LIKE IT. THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DISLIKE IT. sending your fucking brigade of minions to harass them and call them cyberbullies and try to get their websites and blogs pulled from the internet? is actually kind of cyberbullying them.
in conclusion?
fuck you, teahouse.
this is why people dislike you, okay? it's not that you're great and popular and they so jelly and haters gonna hate. this is why. you trivialize the horrors of being a sex worker. you trivialize rape. you go so far as to imply that because a man had an orgasm, it's okay that he was raped because he "enjoyed" it. YOU DO REALIZE THAT PEOPLE CAN HAVE ORGASMS WHILE THEY ARE BEING RAPED, RIGHT? THAT ISN'T A VOLUNTARY REACTION, YOU DO KNOW THIS RIGHT. IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY LIKED IT. you are horrifically offensive to any man or woman who's ever had to endure sexual assault. you're vaguely racist (the only people who aren't whiteywhitewhite are servants in your comic - with no character, they're just background add-ins. furniture, essentially.) your character designs are hideously cluttered. you have maybe the VAGUEST concept of colour theory because you constantly break it horrifically. your characterization leaves much to be desired. you have serious sameface syndrome. you glorify abusive relationships. you encourage your fans to accept abusive relationships and sexual assault as GOOD THINGS. you tell them that these are 'sexy' and they in turn tell you they wish they had people treat them that way.
and when people tell you that's fucked up you turn around and try to make them into villians. you make no effort to actually refute these points or try to discuss how best to improve. you try to undermine their message by picking on them for their grammar. for their spelling. for their own art styles. what's next, their user icons? LOL ICARUS YOU USE LOWERCASE LETTERS AND YOUR ICON HAS A HEAD IN A JAR, I CAN'T POSSIBLY TAKE *YOUR* OPINION SERIOUSLY.
i'd be a little more understanding of your god awful "storytelling" and god awful glorification of sexual abuse if you were just open and up front like 'hey we have a fetish for non-consentual sex' because whatever, people have fetishes. but i don't think you do. i think you are just idiots. and that is my opinion as someone who actually was cyberbullied.
so buck the fuck up, teahouse.
welcome to the fucking internet, welcome to posting fucking webcomics. don't like it? then quit, or man the fuck up. if you actually think your story is worth telling in spite of all the "bullies" giving you negative feedback (note: i don't think it's worth telling, let me just add that in there) then keep going and stop fucking flouncing around like idiots every god damn time someone speaks ill of you. you don't need to grind the entire fucking production line to a halt and publicly post some crocodile tears every goddamn time someone says they dislike your extremely niche appeal comic about gay anime prostitutes.
no fucking love,
A fresh primer on why Teahouse and everything surrounding it (barring the fantastic riffs) fucking sucks, and why...
For people who think my fans, me, or other people involved in teahouse drama are cyberbullies. I could not say it better...

- Location: Seattle, WA and online

Flowers die, chocolates melt, glassybaby forever. That is the compelling concept behind this Seattle-based hand-blown glass vessel business, which grew out of founder Lee Rhodes' garage into something Oprah and Martha Stewart talk about.
The old store, still operating in the Madrona neighborhood, is attached to the glassblowing studio where glassybaby are made. Projections on the white walls of the U Village location bring scenes from the studio in order to maintain that workshop feel.
During the past three holiday seasons, glassybaby has done a brisk business at a temporary stand they set up in U Village for the Christmas shoppers — we have no reason to believe that the new brick-and-mortar won't be every bit as successful.

Wait...they sell identical glass votive holders? In different colors?
Is this some kind of art project?
Apparently they sell 70 different colors of the same votive, for $40 a pop. Yikes. At first I was thinking I was glad I didn't live in SF, because I'd be there all the time, but with the merch being limited in style and so expensive, yeah, not so much with the regret anymore!
They do look cute, though.
Erm, Seattle. The SF tag at the bottom threw me off. Glad I'm not in SEATTLE. Sorry.
They are incredible in person. Once you see one, you want one. The amount of work that goes into them = the price tag.
I got a set of these for Christmas and they're really pretty. $40-worth of pretty? I don't know about that...
OMG - these are just gorgeous. I wish I could see them in person - I'm sure the website is not doing them justice!
wow. gorgeous. wish they were priced lower if you bought them in sets...or had a frequent shopper program. :) would make a really lovely mother's day gift.
yeah i've live in seattle, they are lovely... but not $40 lovely IMHO
I walked by the store the other day and, um, yeah, I was confused how they could sell nothing but different colored otherwise identical glasses. At $40, I really don't get it. They don't look at all impressive to me.
I guess this must be the fashionista equivalent of beanie babies.
I grew up a few blocks from their Madrona studio and my mom has a few of them. They are absolutely beautiful.
For those of you concerned about the $40.00 price tag...they are hand made in the United States by skilled crafts people. I don't know where your morals lay, but I have such a hard time with the fact that we are constantly buying things that support sweat shops, the loss of American jobs, child labor, etc because we all want things cheap. cheap. cheap. Buy quality and less quantity and put your dollar where ethics are. (Of course, if your ethics are not the same as mine, look at Walmart instead...or Crate and Barrel who have a long history of mass producing popular independent designs without paying licensing fees. Which, in fact, they did to Glass Babies a few years ago.)
These look so beautiful. I am amazed that some people can spend the money on multiples of them, though. The founder says she wants to try to sell them like flowers, send a box of glassybabies instead of flowers. She was quoted as saying she just wants 1 billion of the 16 billion dollar flower market. But isn't there a limit to how many people will buy? There is certainly a limit to how many can afford to buy ONE $40 candle holder, beautiful and made by skilled artisans or not. Unfortunately her dream of a Glassybaby in every household just can't happen I'm afraid. Must be one of Oprah's favorite things.

By convention physical quantities are organized in a system of dimensions. Each of the seven base quantities used in the SI is regarded as having its own dimension, which is symbolically represented by a single sans serif roman capital letter. The symbols used for the base quantities, and the symbols used to denote their dimension, are given as follows.
All other quantities are derived quantities, which may be written in terms of the base quantities by the equations of physics. The dimensions of the derived quantities are written as products of powers of the dimensions of the base quantities using the equations that relate the derived quantities to the base quantities. In general the dimension of any quantity Q is written in the form of a dimensional product,
where the exponents , , , , , , and , which are generally small integers which can be positive, negative or zero, are called the dimensional exponents. The dimension of a derived quantity provides the same information about the relation of that quantity to the base quantities as is provided by the SI unit of the derived quantity as a product of powers of the SI base units.
There are some derived quantities Q for which the defining equation is such that all of the dimensional exponents in the expression for the dimension of Q are zero. This is true, in particular, for any quantity that is defined as the ratio of two quantities of the same kind. Such quantities are described as being dimensionless, or alternatively as being of dimension one. The coherent derived unit for such dimensionless quantities is always the number one, 1, since it is the ratio of two identical units for two quantities of the same kind.
There are also some quantities that cannot be described in terms of the seven base quantities of the SI at all, but have the nature of a count. Examples are number of molecules, degeneracy in quantum mechanics (the number of independent states of the same energy), and the partition function in statistical thermodynamics (the number of thermally accessible states). Such counting quantities are also usually regarded as dimensionless quantities, or quantities of dimension one, with the unit one, 1.

Oil on canvas
Dubbed 'the father of the Newlyn School', Forbes's painting 'A Fish Sale on a Cornish Beach', 1885, brought national recognition to the art colony and the school of painting he founded with his wife Elizabeth kept Newlyn at the forefront of British art well into the 20th century.
In 1881, Forbes went to Brittany with fellow artist La Thangue. His time in France brought him into contact with the new plein air painters, which was to influence his style dramatically.
He arrived in Newlyn in 1884 and soon became a leading figure in the growing colony of artists. His national reputation was established with the acceptance of his 'A Fish Sale on a Cornish Beach' in 1885 at the Royal Academy, London (now owned by Plymouth City Art Gallery) and the purchase of The Health of the Bride in 1889 by Henry Tate, now at Tate Britain, London.
As the number of artists in Newlyn dwindled, Stanhope and his wife Elizabeth Forbes founded their School of Painting in 1899. This was to attract a whole new generation of artists to the area, including Ernest Procter and his future wife Doris Dod Shaw.
Throughout his life, Forbes was a familiar and popular figure in West Cornwall. Well into the 1930s, he was still often to be seen painting en plein air, surrounded by curious local children. He died in 1947, a few months short of his ninetieth birthday.

Very tasty and moist. Added 1 c. fresh blueberries, a half cup dates, and omitted the pineapple because that was what I had. I think I'd stick with all dried fruit, though- the blueberries were a bit wet in the muffins. I love that the fat in this recipe comes only from the flaxseed and the egg, both healthy sources. I might try toasting the walnuts before adding, too. My family all said they were tasty. Great, healthy breakfast muffins!

Militant killed in siege was former driver at BP facility
Latest update : 2013-01-23
One of the Islamist militants behind a hostage-taking at a BP gas facility in Algeria last week that left at least one Algerian and 37 foreign workers dead was a former driver at the plant, a security source told AFP on Wednesday.
An Islamist militant killed by special forces during the siege of Algeria's In Amenas gas complex used to be a driver at the desert facility, a security source told AFP on Wednesday.
"One of the killed assailants had worked as a driver for one of the companies operating within the complex," the source said, adding that "he had resigned a year ago."
The source was unable to specify who the slain militant had worked for, but indicated that his corpse was recognised by employees at the remote facility deep in the Sahara where a four-day siege last week ended in a bloodbath.
Special forces launched two assaults aimed at freeing both foreigners and Algerians taken hostage inside the complex -- one on Thursday a day after the deadly drama unfolded and then in a final raid on Saturday.
Hostage crisis in Algeria
- Algerian diplomats held by Islamists are freed in Mali
- Ukrainian plane with seven on board crashes in Algeria
- Hundreds of Nigerian soldiers flee Boko Haram into Cameroon
- Algeria suspends league matches after footballer killed by projectile
- Cameroon's Ebossé killed by projectile at Algerian stadium
- More of this year's best Observers stories
- Confusion online over Air Algérie flight
- Muslims and Christians clean up Bangui, and violence spirals out of control in Algeria's Gardaia
On Monday, Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal said that 37 foreign hostages and 29 militants were killed. Another three gunmen were found alive.
Five foreigners are still missing and seven burned bodies remain unidentified.
Sellal said that most of the dead hostages were killed execution-style with a single bullet to the head.
A security source said two more of the attackers, known as "the Canadians," were Arabs with joint nationality.
Official sources in Algeria have said the militant squad included three Algerians and men from six other nationalities. In addition to "the Canadians," there were men from Egypt, Mali, Niger, Mauritania and 11 from Tunisia.
The group's head Mohamed Amine Bencheneb, who was killed by the military, was behind the October 2011 kidnapping of two Spaniards in southwest Algeria, the security source said. They were both released in July last year.

Can anyone share with me what they think of the Canon XSI..is it a great investment. I was thinking of purchasing it and the one con I have learned is the live view .. is that the only major con. I can live without the live view as long as the camera is worth the investment.
Dawn Michlle
I cant think why the live view would be a con, it is very good on the 40D so wouldnt think it is vastly different.
EOS 450D/Rebel SXi review on EPZ
Is it a good investment, depends on what you are already using, from your Kodack easyshare I would think it is a very worthy upgrade.
Quote: Quote:I cant think why the live view would be a conI assume as in pros & cons, rather than a rip off type con.
Thats how I understood it too, but still dont see it as a negative either, its there if you want to use it, and if you dont want to use it you dont have to.
Sure it has limited uses.
Thank you all for your advice.. I went and looked at the camera and over all it seems to be worth the investment.. the live view isn't that big a deal. It is just a add bonus that is nice to have if you need it..
I didn't purchase it yet.. since I wrote to get your comments I wanted to see what you have to say and trust in your all's advice.
So this maybe what I upgrade to..
Simon thank you so much for the site..It was very helpful..
That camera has a lot going for it as well... there are so many out there to pick from.

Its the same camera, Rebel SXi USA/450D UK, dont you just love the way the Atlantic gap (AKA the Pond) makes things so simple
You can autofucus when using live view, you just won't be able to see anything on the LCD screen as the mirror will lock up to enable autofocus.
So, what you need is select your focus point first, then activate liveview, then autofocus, then take the shot. Of course it is only possible for still life or landscape as they aren't moving.
Live view is superb, especially with landscape, and use it with the live histogram.
I've just looked at your portfolio, brilliant!! You have a great photographic eye.
I believe the Rebel XSi would be a good buy for you.
I've recently bought the 450D version and although I haven't used it too much, due to work, I'm very pleased with it.
just read your post.
Er, idiot's question. I haven't used live view yet, so don't know how it works, how do I get the live histogram? I'm assuming you can use the histogram information by using exposure compensation?
Excuse me for being dim, 2 months ago I was still a slide film user!
Thanks Simon and Frank... and Simon lol on the same camera me and my husband was thinking how they had same features loll duhhh on my part loll... after looking at so many and many with a lot of the same things I was getting lost... that's why I came to those like yourself that can tell me what I am doing loll
Frank thank you for the lovely comment on my PF.. and for your advice on the camera it is looking more like the one I will get..
Cole thank you the wonderful info.. that was something I didn't know at all.. and was a great help !
Frank, I think while on live view, you press display to display the histogram.
If you go into custom function, you can set up a few options for the live view For example on the 40D, I can go to:
C.Fn IV -7 Live View exposure simulation
0: Disable (LCD auto adjust)
1: Enable (simulates exposure)
During Live View shooting, the real-time image shows the brightness
corresponding to the exposure setting. This enables you to check the images exposure right before you take the picture.

Live at the Gentlemen Of The Road Stopover in Lewes [Videos] ]
From the Mumford & Sons Official Website:
Friday 6, September 2013
Earlier on in this summer of 2013, Mumford & Sons rounded up some of their favourite bands and headed down to the United Kingdom's southern town of Lewes to set up camp for a two day celebration of music, community and local life.
Basking in the rays of some truly glorious English sunshine, the Gentlemen Of The Road Stopover in Lewes marked yet another extremely special moment in what, it's fair to say, has been an almost unbelievable summer.
It was just so. much. fun; with an overwhelming number of ladies, gentlemen and children, nay to mention one magical dragon (aka 'Piff The…'), in attendance to catch performances by Vampire Weekend, The Vaccines, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit and many more, as well as sample a taste of Lewes life.
Whether you were there or not, we are pleased to say that you can now catch a glimpse of the band's live performance at the Stopover via this new series of videos.
Much love,

Pittsburgh, Pa.- A Pennsylvania hospital patient lands in hot water after being accused of selling heroin from her hospital room.
The woman, who has not been identified, was staying at Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital.
Workers there noticed the heavy traffic going in and out of her room.
She had numerous visitors in the intensive care unit, but they would only stay a little while before leaving.
Hospital staff contacted police who placed surveillance in her room.
After investigating, authorities say they found more than 350 bags of heroin in the room.
"What the staff was noticing in our Intensive Care Unit, was that many visitors were coming and going. the foot traffic was extreme, but they weren't staying. Instead of staying for 20 minutes, they were staying for two minutes and leaving," Excela's VP of Marketing Jennifer Miele said. "The security is constantly on the move in the hospital. And so they were able to find out what was going on and hand it over to police."
According to police, they found more than $1,000 in her room and several cellphones.
Charges have been filed against the patient.

I used to, I was in the beta for Cataclysm too and that's why I probably won't again. The forums for the beta were full of posts regarding bugs and balance issues (actual issues not 'omg my class sux buff plz!'). It was disheartening to see how many of these oft reported issues remained in the game for launch and are still there. I love the game and am not hanging up my mace and shield anytime soon, but it seems pointless to test the content only to see the problems found make it live. I may as well report the bugs in game and save myself the time.

Amazing ideas for creating a vintage bathroom strive to incorporate a soft, retro look in your bathroom as a way to add glamour in the room.
In this regard, changes like using tiles with layering over marbles can make a huge difference in the overall feel and appearance.
Moreover, ambient light and bathroom fixtures with curves help achieve the perfect vintage bathroom décor. Thus, vintage-inspired details play an important role in adding a touch of elegance in such bathrooms.
Fascinating Ideas for Having a Vintage-Inspired Bathroom
- When planning to create or remodel a vintage bathroom, begin by picking a theme that suits your style. Thus, choose an appropriate color scheme.
For instance, during the 1930s, bright and bold colors like pink, blue, green and yellow were immensely popular. On the other hand, people preferred pale and neutral colors during 1960s.
- Coming to the tiles, more often than not, white and black pattern porcelain tiles enhance the beauty of vintage bathrooms. You can go for polished stone tiles as well. As for walls, you can choose white subway tiles and beadboard wainscoting.
- In terms of lighting, consider using Victorian style lighting fixtures. Wall sconces (frosted glass), Apothecary style lamps and small-scale chandeliers look charming.
- Adorning your bathroom with vintage bath décor items as per the theme or era you have chosen is one of the most thoughtful ideas that focus on develpoing a classic vintage bathroom.
Flip through numerous images of vintage-style bathrooms featured in magazines and online stores to get inspiration. Plus, visit antique stores, flea markets and garage sales to find something interesting. For instance, you can get the Taymor Antique Oval Mirror Tray (shown above) from Amazon at a price of $34.99.
It has a 10 by 7-inch metal surface and available in gold or silver finish. The tray can be used for keeping perfume bottles and guest-size toiletries.
Here's another interesting accessory, that is, Vintage Metal Rose Style Wall Hook available at a price of $12.95, again at Amazon. It is a nice item, particularly for a pink bathroom.
- Gold, antique brass and nickel plated hardwares are highly beneficial in accentuating the beauty of a vintage bathroom. Furthermore, you can consider using salvaged wood shelves, metal medicine cabinets, antique chest, and so on for storage option.
- Opting for an awesome antique bathroom mirror is another interesting idea for enhancing the appearance of a vintage-style bathroom. Besides, you can opt for retro bath rugs, waste baskets, beautiful dusky mauve colored towels, bathroom sign, vintage perfume bottles, etc.
For example, you can find a set of three assorted decorative guest soaps on Amazon at a price of $7.50. These gorgeous seashell soaps (30 g) from the South of France have a light and pleasing marine aroma.
Those who are fond of plants can also get vintage planters for plants. Do not include too many decorative items, though as the room may look crowded and cluttered.
- Including a single-post pedestal sink and a clawfoot bath tub with decorative feet that are available in various finishes is a wonderful idea that can help create a vintage charm in the bathroom. You can purchase a luxurious cast-iron or acrylic clawfoot tub.
- Consider getting a wooden toilet seat and lid. As for faucets, look for gorgeous yet old-fashioned whimsical taps.
- Geometric patterns are usually associated with contemporary bathrooms. Nevertheless, you can incorporate this style, to some extent, in order to create a modern vintage bathroom. Clean lines of 1920s style are also fabulous.
- Interesting ideas for a nice retro bath inspired by 1960s can include fixtures in cream color and a dark shade for flooring. For the rest of the décor, you can incorporate hints of brown, grey, green and yellow.

Ever wondered how some people seem to possess leadership qualities to charm people under their wing? Well, it may be a gift from their genetics, according to a report in Healthline.
The study, carried out by researchers based at University College London, discovered a gene which was significantly associated with those who occupied supervisory roles in the workplace. This gene has the potential to play a "role in predicting who is more likely to occupy leadership roles", mentioned lead author Dr Jan-Emmanuel De Neve of the University College London's School of Public Policy.
Despite this finding, "leadership should still be thought of predominantly as a skill to be developed", reiterated De Neve in the report. Parents may pass down this gene to children, but it is ultimately their lifestyle and actions which influence their children. For parents who are CEOs or doctors, children observe their time schedules, their focus on work and whether they lead by example, stated the report.
"We think this research is useful for understanding how leadership emerges and how we might be able to adapt environmental factors to improve leadership ability," the researchers noted.
The study, published in Leadership Quarterly, examined genetic samples and information about jobs and relationships from about 4,000 individuals.

1. I'd heard some news about a shooting in Connecticut just before leaving to go get Leah as her half-day kindergarten was ending. At that point, they said two dead, sounded like probably a domestic dispute. Tragic, horrible, too common, really bad that it was at a school. It was only a little on my mind as I stood and talked to Natalie's mom, whose house has just been ravaged by a stomach virus. The bell rang. The teacher stands at the door and only lets the kindergartners out when she sees an adult they belong to. It's a small class, this is a small town. She let Leah go and waved at me. Nora stood there waiting, didn't see her mom. Natalie's mom said she'd watch Nora until her mom got there, but I said no, I got her, she was scheduled to come over to play with Leah at our house. Another wave from the teacher, all good—it's a community. We all know each other and each other's kids. I walked the two of them back to our house and listened to them talk about how Mrs. Claus makes clothes for kids because boys like Santa don't know how to sew.

Jasmine White of Lathrop would close out this game scoring a game high 20 points and dished out 7 assists. Lathrop wins 57-42. The Malemutes will play Dimond in their next game.

Parenting with Bipolar Disorder
Elizabeth Lindell: I am a mom with bipolar disorder -- and my daughter has bipolar disorder, too.
When Ayelet Waldman speaks of parenting with bipolar disorder this week on "The Takeaway," I am left with no doubt that she is a healthy mom who makes mistakes (as we all do). I believe that that is what we should strive to be, instead of concerning ourselves with who is a "good mom" and who is a "bad mom." All any of us needs to be is a healthy mom.
Waldman wrote a book entitled "Bad Mother" after the media labeled her one for saying that she was more in love with her husband than she was with her children. In my opinion, that is a healthy statement that promotes a healthy family climate. I applaud her for having the bravery to say that out loud.
Parenting with bipolar disorder can be a challenge. Ayelet told Time: "Because of my bipolar disorder, I tend to these mixed states, which are depressed but loud and agitated. So I can be terribly irritable. I go to cognitive behavioral therapy in order not to yell at my children." But she then concedes that everyone yells at their children.
Ayelet tells "The Takeaway" that her kids can go to her husband, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon, and say, "Mommy's being mean" or "Mommy's being crazy" or "Mommy's in a terrible mood." Chabon tells "The Takeaway" that Ayelet is good about being forthcoming and forthright, and acknowledging afterward and apologizing.
I have bipolar disorder, too, and there was probably a point in my journey where I would have thought that being present, feeling free to discuss emotion and apologizing when you're wrong was enough when it came to parenting with this illness. That's when I had a psychiatrist. Now, I also have a family therapist who has made me realize that yelling of any kind -- whether it's directed at a child or is simply done around them -- has a serious impact on how they both live in and view the world.
Yes, the apology is reassuring; feeling like you can talk to Mom about what happened is comforting ... but nothing can erase the wild sound of Mom's voice or the look in her eyes while she was verbally purging. The right thing to do is the last thing a bipolar person wants to do in a manic or mixed state (i.e., disengage, don't indulge and isolate yourself until the wave passes).
There is a level of control with bipolar disorder, especially when a person is medicated. My daughter also has bipolar disorder, and when she's been manic, she has thrown things. But she doesn't break her television. She doesn't throw her Nintendo Wii. She throws things like her American Girl doll clothes that she hasn't played with since she was 7, because she doesn't want the things she cares about to be damaged.
Bipolar parents need to exercise the same control. We can't damage the things we care about most.
I'm a mom with Bipolar as well. Saying someone with Bipolar needs to exercise more control is fine and dandy but if that person is really manic, it' just not going to happen.
