crossed Green Bay and successfully navigated Death's
Door, a notoriously dangerous passage at the tip
of Door County,
the Nilsson turned south and headed for Chicago,
while sailing just off the Door County Peninsula's
eastern shore. By the time she passed the Sturgeon Bay ship
canal, the weather had deteriorated into a blinding snowstorm
-force winds and high seas.
Unable to enter the
canal due to the storm, Captain Hammer decided to turn north
and run before the storm. His intention was to retrace his
course 20 miles back up the Door County coastline to the
protective shelter of Baileys Harbor.
Preparing for a desperate run to safety, Captain Hammer ordered
all sails single reefed (partially lowered to prevent storm
damage) and turned the Nilsson north.
the schooner fought her way toward relative safety, the force
of the gale and the blinding blizzard caused the Nilsson's
course to be too far to the west and dangerously close
to the east shore of Baileys Harbor. Finally discerning his
vessel's perilous position, Captain Hammer attempted to sail
eastward to avoid the Outer Reef at Baileys Harbor and gain
adequate "sea room" to maneuver.
His effort failed, however, and at 8:30 a.m. on 24 October
1884, the Christina Nilsson struck hard upon Outer
Reef and began to founder.
anchor was quickly dropped, causing the vessel's
swing around and strike hard on the reef a second time. The
Nilsson sank immediately in 15 feet of water. Due
to the relatively shallow depth, the vessel literally pounded
to pieces.
Without any possessions and with no assistance
from shore (the Baileys Harbor life-saving station would not
be built for another 13 years), all eight crew abandoned the
stricken vessel and made their way in the Nilsson's
-boat to a small
island where they obtained refuge. No lives were lost.

NFL Fines Seahawks, Coach For violating Offseason Workout Rules
The Seattle Seahawks have been fined $300,000 and forced to forfeit two days of 2015 offseason practice for allowing too much contact during workouts earlier this year.
The Many Highs, Few Lows Of 2013 Seattle Seahawks
When you win the Super Bowl, there isn't much to complain about as far as overall team performance is concerned. But here is a look back at what the Seahawks excelled at and aspects of their game that they will need to tighten up next season.
Bay Area Native Carroll Basking In Super Bowl Win, Expecting Repeat
Lost amid the escalating rivalry between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers is the fact that the man who guided the Seahawks to their first Super Bowl crown was born right here in the city by the bay. If his postgame comments are any indication, he doesn't plan on taking it easy on the hometown team in the near future.
Seahawks Beat Broncos 43-8 In Super Bowl
Defense wins championships, and the NFL has not seen a defense like Seattle's in a long time.
Seahawks Rout Broncos 43-8 In Super Bowl XLVIII
The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl title Sunday night in overpowering fashion, punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8.
Keidel: Manning's Manifest Destiny?
What will matter most? The fact that Seattle has no players with Super Bowl experience, or their youth and speed and top-ranked defense? Or will the game be won by Denver's suddenly stout rush defense and Peyton Manning's blessed right arm?
Daily Madden: It's Hard To Beat The 49ers-Seahawks Rivalry
The Seahawks-49ers rivalry might just be the best in the country as the teams prepare for Sunday's NFC Championship game in Seattle. "They play every year, and they play every year two times, at home and home, and you develop history," John Madden told the KCBS Radio morning crew.
49ers-Seahawks Is NFL's Most Heated Rivalry, But How Did We Get Here?
If you've taken a moment to browse online comments related to this weekend's San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks NFC Championship matchup you know one thing, this is very personal for fans of on both sides. Unlike the Giants-Dodgers rivalry, which has aged like a fine wine over decades of competition and the move west from New York, this rivalry's origins are far less apparent.
Daily Madden: Will Harvin Play Against 49ers?
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he won't know Harvin's status for the NFC Championship game against the 49ers until Wednesday or Thursday.

Williams wins 2nd straight Family CircleBy PETE IACOBELLI
The Associated Press | April 08,2013AP Photo
Serena Williams celebrates with the ball boys and ball girls after winning the Family Circle Cup against Jelena Jankovic in Charleston, S.C., Sunday.CHARLESTON, S.C. Serena Williams rallied past Jelena Jankovic 3-6, 6-0, 6-2 on Sunday to win her 15th straight match and second consecutive title at the Family Circle Cup.
It was the second straight tournament where the top-ranked Williams dropped the opening set in the final before digging in for victory. A week ago, she lost 6-4 to Maria Sharapova and then won 12 of the next 15 games to win the Sony Open.
This time, Williams had her serve broken twice and lost her first set of the match. Things turned at the start of the second set with a testy exchange between the competitors as Williams complained about Jankovic serving before she was ready. Williams used the dispute to fire up her play, winning six straight games and 12 of the final 14.
Williams earned $125,000 for her third Family Circle Cup crown, also winning here in 2008 and 2012.
She had hoped last years clay-court victory on Billie Jean King Court would spur a big run to a second French Open crown. Instead, Williams was stunningly knocked out at Roland Garros in the opening round by then 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano.
This year, my goal is to win a match at the French Open, she joked after the match.
Williams should be favored whenever she plays, especially when provoked like it looked against Jankovic.
The 28-year-old former No. 1 served to open the second set while Williams held her racquet in front to signal she wasnt ready. During the next changeover, Jankovic asked chair umpire Kader Nouni how long she needed to wait before serving.
Until Im ready, Williams shot back.
The exchange seemed to fire up the 31-year-old Willams, who had looked sluggish and off her game in losing the first set. She broke Jankovic to start the second set, then won her service game at love to start things rolling.
Before Jankovic could regain her footing, Williams rolled to a 6-0 victory.
Jankovic said the dispute took away her focus.
I gave her wins. I let her back in the match, Jankovic said. That was my mistake.
Jankovic led 1-0 in the third set, but Williams took the next three games to regain control.
Williams pounded in a 110 mph serve that drove Jankovic wide and then put away the ball near the net to take the match.
Any hard feelings didnt seem to last.
Jankovic met Williams with a big smile at the net as the two exchanged good wishes. When the stadium announcer asked the crowd to acknowledge Jankovics strong play as she left, Williams joined fans in applauding.
For Williams, it was her 49th career singles title, moving within four of Monica Seles for ninth place on the WTAs all-time list. It wasnt the easiest run to the top, though. Midweek rain wiped out much of Thursdays schedule, meaning Williams had to win twice on Friday to make to the semifinals.
Once there, Williams had to face big sister Venus and responded with a 6-1, 6-2 victory, the most one-sided match in the siblings long rivalry.MORE IN Wire SportsBOSTON The Boston Bruins have some lineup questions entering training camp after a...

Uttar Pradesh 392 (Murtaza 106, Kaif 68, Rangarajan 4-107) and 207 (Dagar 65, Sharma 41, Srinivas 4-37) beat Tamil Nadu 179 (Vijay 42, Murtaza 7-80) and 225 (A Karthik 70, Abhinav 54, Praveen 4-95) by 195 runs
Uttar Pradesh consolidated their position at the top of the table with a comfortable 195-run win over Tamil Nadu in Chennai after bowling them out for 225 on the final day. Chasing 421, Tamil Nadu made a solid start, with the openers adding 67 runs, before Ali Murtaza claimed M Vijay's wicket. Two quick wickets followed, and from then on Tamil Nadu slid out of control.
Wickets kept falling regularly and only Arun Karthik provided some resistance with a doughty 70. He was the final batsmen to be dismissed, in the 65th over. Ali Murtaza, who claimed his second ten-wicket match haul in first-class cricket, and Praveen Gupta did most of the damage, taking seven of the ten wickets. Tamil Nadu are now effectively out of the race for the knockout stages.
Baroda 362 (Waghmode 113, Devdhar 104, Mundhe 4-72) and 225 for 1 (Chauhan 105*, Wakaskar 98*) drew with Maharashtra 449 for 8 dec (Khadiwale 168, Motwani 91, Mundhe 46)
Maharashtra and Baroda played out a boring draw on the final day, after Maharashtra had already gained the valuable first-innings lead on the third day. Baroda, despite gaining only one point out of the fixture, sit second in the points table and remain likely to qualify through to the knockout stages. Maharashtra built on the lead by scoring a further 73 runs before declaring, and Baroda replied confidently by scoring 225 for 1, thanks to two centuries, before the game was called off.
Resuming at 376 for 7, Shrikant Mundhe added a couple of productive partnerships, with Akshay Darekar, and later No. 10 Nikit Dhumal, who scored 27. After declaring the innings at 449 for 8, they picked up an early wicket, that of opener Anupam Gupta. But a 217-run stand between Saurabh Wakaskar, who scored 100, and Abhimanyu Chauhan (109), steadied Baroda and forced a draw.
Haryana 587 for 9 dec (Yadav 211, Mishra 202*, Sunny 56) drew with Karnataka 272 (Kapoor 106, Harshal 5-79) and 330 for 2 (Uthappa 137, Kapoor 100*)
It is not often in sport that a team completely dominates the final quarter of a match but still ends up distinctly second best. In Hubli, Karnataka's batsmen looked in terrific touch as they piled up 330 for 2 on the final day against Haryana, but the massive first-innings lead they conceded left their side with only one point from the match.

Colombia's president spoke to a packed room of University of Virginia students and faculty Wednesday evening.
Juan Manuel Santos talked about Colombia's improved security and economy since he took office. For the past year, Santos has also been in peace talks with Colombia's biggest rebel group to stop the drug trade. He said that continued conflict is harmful.
"I say that the conflict is like a dead mule in the road, which is an obstacle for Colombian progress. When you take out that dead mule we can take off much faster," Santos said.
Santos also had the chance to meet with President Obama Tuesday and said they agreed on virtually everything. He plans to run for re-election next year.

Ghostly Face Appears on Restaurant Menu (Photo)Bizarre, X-files — By Goran on 2011/09/06 8:32 PM
If this is just another case of pareidolia, then it is one of the best we have ever seen. Take a look at this spooky photo.
It was taken by one of the most talented Croatian screen writers and directors Nebojša Slijepčević about ten days ago in Cista Provo, district near Split, while he was on lunch break with his girlfriend Vanja.
"I wanted to take a picture of her, but she hid her face behind the restaurant's menu. I was about to delete the image, but then I saw something that reminded me of human face", Nebojša told Daily Picks and Flicks.
He confirmed there was nothing in between him and Vanja at the time he took the photo and that image was not digitally manipulated in any way.
"What you see is what instantly appeared on the screen of my camera," he said.
To be honest, we are not experts on paranormal phenomena or on photography, but like any of you we can see a chin, mouth, teeth, nose, nostrils and eyes.
Of course, it could be a coincidence, but we can't explain what the grey area on the front side of the menu is. Can you?

Case Organization and Presentation Workshop / In-Service
This three day program is designed to teach investigators and others how to organize complex and document intensive cases, utilizing various computer software programs.
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center has been actively monitoring the development of computer software that can assist criminal investigators to electronically organize and manage complex cases. Over the past few years, incredible strides have been made which allow the investigator to collect, store and retrieve information and evidence electronically through the use of specialized computer applications originally designed for the business community. This same digitized data can be used to create visually informative records and charts for use in investigative team briefings and/or presentations to a prosecutor or jury.
More importantly, the gradual transformation of the courtroom from traditional to high-tech is changing the way cases are presented. The new electronic environment in the courtroom permits judicial participants to electronically present their evidence in a more efficient and expedient manner through the use of computers, monitors, and document cameras. Evidence presented at trial or to a grand jury can now be highlighted or enlarged for a more thorough review by the jury or adjudicating official. Criminal investigators must stay abreast of these changes in order to remain at the forefront in the fight against crime.
This course will continue to change and evolve with new computer technology trends. The goal of this program is to provide students with the ability to identify and select the case organizational tools best suited for their particular needs and to be skillful in successfully presenting their findings in an effective and professional manner.

"Healing Touch is now trained at level 78, up from level 3."
Please tell me this is a typo? This makes druid healing at low levels almost impossible...
This is an absolute blessing. HT's mana efficiency is abysmal and it made levelling a druid through healing awkward and difficult. All you have are expensive heals: Rejuv costed 26% of your base, Regrowth costed a whopping 35% of base, and HT costed a third of your base.
Nourish costs a mere 10%.
This will make low level druid healing a LOT easier, especially if you're not decked out in heirlooms and have minimal int. This is the best levelling druid buff since making cat form level 8 and Mangle level 10.
telltalehart said...
That makes sense. I'm just starting to play a druid, so I've never had the ability to us Nourish. But that does make more sense spelled out that way. I haven't had an issue mana wise with it, but again, I'm just starting out. I'll have to wait and see how it plays out when the patch is dropped.
Thanks for downgrading me though. It's much appreciated.

On our club e-mail list, we've been doing a post-mortem on our Field Day operations. One of the cooler things was our "Get On The Air" (GOTA) station. At the GOTA station, a dozen different people made their first HF contacts, including a number of Technicians. It has spurred several of them to start working on their code so that they can upgrade to General.
Another thing that we noted is that while we made many more contacts this year, we scored just a few more points than last year. The reason, of course, is that all those extra contacts were SSB contacts, not CW contacts. We ran two phone stations, but only one CW station.
Next year, I'm proposing that we go to 4A and run two CW stations. I'm going to call the second CW station the "Get On CW" (GOCW) station. At this station, we're not going to care how fast someone operates or how many contacts he or she makes. Instead, the idea is to show them how much fun it can be to work CW. I plan to be around as much as possible to demonstrate CW, coach those that want to operate, and help them make contacts (by logging for them and helping them copy the fast stations).
In addition, I'm going to talk to the guys in the club who keep talking about working CW, but never seem to find the time or the energy to do so and encourage them strongly (i.e. twist arms, if necessary) to operate for an hour or two. The idea being to get them over the hump as far as CW goes. I might even give out awards to the operator who made the most contacts, the operator who showed the most courage in sitting down and operating, etc.
I'd like to see this become a nation-wide FISTS effort. The GOCW stations could even congregate around the Fists frequencies–or designate some other frequencies around which to find one another–so that we can work one another without having to deal with the contest twits who are rude to slower operators.
You can participate in the Get On CW effort even if your Field Day operations don't allow for a separate station. My suggestion would be to designate some time period at one of your stations for GOCW operation. If you do this, realize that you're going to have to steal some prime time from the "real contesters," though. You're not going to have a successful effort if you schedule the GOCW operation from 2 am to 4 am Sunday morning.
Let me know what you think of this idea, and please e-mail me if you plan on participating. Also e-mail me if you have an idea of how to make the GOCW effort more effective.

Our regulars know a thing or two about enjoying themselves when it is winter in the lakes so we have combined their requests and favourite things to come up with the Ultimate Winter Weekend!
Arrive in time for Afternoon Tea; this is a warming, winter affair taken beside one of our large, crackling log fires – with toasted marshmallow and buttered crumpets, cream-topped hot chocolate spiced up with a shot of rum and time to catch up on a few chapters from your favourite book.
Winter time can produce a magical landscape, the mountains take on a Narnia-like feel, capped with snow, glistening under bright blue skies, jack frost and crisp air. Perfect for a stroll along the river at Skelwith Bridge; take an hour's walk among some spectacular winter scenery with a flask of homemade soup. We have fur-lined Welly Boot Warmers to ensure your toes stay toasty and then on your return, snuggle in by our fire, wrapping your hands around a warming glass of our homemade Mulled Wine, flavoured with cinnamon, oranges and spices. If you have been out for a little too long – our sauna and steam room await, ready to warm you right through to the cockles of your heart.
Dinner time is our usual Michelin starred winter menu – drawing on seasonal produce such as local venison and beef. Our restaurant team can recommend some big, bold red wines such as the Meerlust Rubicon to compliment your dinner. Our pastry kitchen puts such winter delights on the menu as the ever popular Cherry Clafoutis or the Chocolate plate.
The morning is the time for a lazy lie-in. Order breakfast in bed before you luxuriate in a bath full of bubbles. Our late –checkout means you have plenty of time to relax, just sit out on our terrace, borrow a pair of our ear-muffs and mittens and admire the fabulous view, wrapped up snugly with one of our woollen wraps made from the wool of local Herdwick Sheep enjoying a glass of Winter Pimms. The daring take a plunge, sinking low into our outdoor hot tub to enjoy temperatures of over 40 degrees and the stunning view over the fells while their partner enjoys their hours treatment in our ESPA spa.
Our Ultimate Winter Weekend is available from November through to March and is available Monday to Sunday. Saturday nights are subject to a minimum of a two night stay. The package per night includes luxury accommodation in the room catergory of your choice, dinner for two in our Michelin Starred restaurant, breakfast for two the following morning, crumpets and marshmallows with a Liqueur Hot Chocolate per person, a half hour spa treatment per person, a reserved one hour in the outdoor Hot Tub, a Winter Pimms per person, a flask of hot soup between two people, walking routes, access to ear muffs, mittens and wraps (these do need to be returned though).

Consumer sentiment: its causes and effects
AbstractThis paper finds that consumer attitudes, as reflected in surveys of consumer sentiment, have a significant influence on household purchases of durable goods. Normally, consumer sentiment moves with current economic conditions and bears a stable relationship to a few economic variables. At times of a major economic or political event like the Gulf War, however, consumer sentiment can move independently from current economic conditions. At such times it provides useful information about future consumer expenditures that is not otherwise available.

this school is horrible! it miss treats its students and parents! they have no values! they would be better off closing this school period!! I say this because my children went there and I had to change schools! this school needs a whole staff wipe-out!! WHATEVER YOU DO KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY FROM HERE!!!
Don't know why people seem to be having troubles. In my opinion, Vamderbilt area school is a great school.
This is one of the worst schools that I have ever taken my children to. My son was bullied on a daily basis and nothing was done about it by the staff who work there. The disciplinarian is a joke. She should be working at McDonalds instead of working as a teacher. She is very unproffessional and does not address the problems at hand. I actually had to call the State police in to get the school to inforce the no bully policy. This school is a huge waste of taxpayer money. Evidently I am not the only one who thinks so since the enrollment numbers continually go way down every year. Parents are driving their kids miles away to go to a better school.
This school is the best ever it has so many great students and such great teachers GO TO VANDERBILT FOR A GOOD EDUCATION serouisly..)
As a former student at vanderbilt area school from K-12. I graduated on June 5, 2004. I had alot of knowledge of the subjects that i was studing. The teachers there were amazing they helped out whenever they could as in tests and NOT giving us the answers but helping us to figure it out ourselves. I have to say that vanderbilt is a great school.
Vanderbilt Area School gives our children a high quality education with smaller class sizes, they can work one of one with my child. Their technology is awesome. The overall atmosphere has improved greatly since the new principal. All staff are respectful towards me as a parent and are willing to work together with me in my child's education.
I do believe the change in principal's has made a huge difference, Mr. Leidel is absolutely what we needed. And the rest of the staff at VAS are very supportive as well. Thanks for doing such a great job VAS Staff.
Vanderbilt School is a wonderful place to learn, with a safe environment. The building was just renovated and is fully technoligized.

Although 63-year old Grace Gateria has no formal training, she is a teacher in her own right. She teaches her neighbours how to improve their agricultural production. Grace is a beneficiary of a World Food Programme (WFP) Cash-for-Assets project in the marginal agricultural county of Tharaka in Eastern Kenya.
"Before the project was introduced here, I always planted maize and because the rainfall was not sufficient, I harvested very little," says the mother of ten. "Now I plant crops that don't need much rainfall such as green grams or sorghum and, in this way, I'm able to harvest much more".
Grace has also implemented the new soil and water conservation technologies that she has learnt. These include constructing negarims and zai pits* at her mango and pawpaw farm. These are simple water harvesting structures used by communities in arid and semi-arid areas to collect rain for improved crop production.
"I've decided to share what I've learnt with my neighbours who are not beneficiaries of the WFP project and many of them are applying these very simple techniques to improve their own crops", says Grace.
In the cash-for-assets programme, Grace and others like her work with WFP on projects involving rainwater harvesting for human and livestock use, soil and water conservation, rehabilitation of degraded land and the production of drought-tolerant crops. These assets and the development of the people's skills enable communities to improve their resilience and increase food sufficiency.
"My mangoes and pawpaws have improved so much and I get good harvests. I no longer have to sell the grains that I grow as I sell the fruits to meet my family's daily needs," she says.
*Negarims are diamond-shaped basins surrounded by small earth embankments that help trap water. They are suitable for growing fruit trees in dry areas. Zai pits are boxlike pits used to enhance soil fertility as well as retain water. They are suitable for crops such as sorghum, millet, beans and others.

Cecilia Bengolea crabwalking in a flesh-colored bodysuit and red stiletto heels. François Chaignaud, in a feather headpiece, fake plastic breasts, and very little else, presenting the ancient Greek athlete as a Playboy pinup. Marlene Monteiro Freitas, in black gloves, tights, boots, and nothing else, tying her hair into a babushka and playing Rachmaninoff's C-sharp-minor Prelude. And Trajal Harrell, in ordinary street clothes, being Trajal Harrell. Those were the creators and performers of "(M)imosa/Twenty Looks or Paris Is Burning at the Judson Church (M)" Thursday at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Not your ordinary dance evening.
It all started with Harrell's question, "What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the voguing ball scene in Harlem had come downtown to perform at the Judson Church with the early postmodern choreographers?" His answer is the multi-part work "Twenty Looks or Paris Is Burning at the Judson Church," which so far has appeared in sizes XS, S, M, M2M (for "made to measure"), and L. Harrell brought the solo S version to the ICA in 2010; he debuted XS and M in 2011 and M2M (in which the Judson dancers go uptown to Harlem) and L (a riff on Sophocles's "Antigone") last year.

It's muscadine season. Muscadines have long been a favorite of mine. As a child, I spent many afternoons running through a tangle of grape-studded vines chasing cousins and devising my own seed-spitting games in my grandmother's yard.
And despite the yearly ritual of eating handfuls of muscadines until my belly ached, I'd never eaten muscadine ice cream until I was a teenager. My first taste of this sublime treat was at Callaway Gardens.
Last week when I smelled the heady fragrance of muscadines wafting from my CSA bag, I knew it was ice cream time — one last treat to celebrate the fleeting summer.
Here's my recipe. I include the skins in my ice cream for a little texture and added color. (The skins also contain high amounts of resveratrol, which is believed to lower the risk of heart disease.) They do soften slightly in the cooking process, but remain toothsome. If you prefer, strain the skins out just before placing the mixture in your ice cream freezer.

Like Rodney, have never had muscadine ice cream, but it sounds great..Will have to try it..
@Rodney..I have a bottle of muscadine wine in my fridge that is about 8 yrs. old..Was given to me by my cousin just about the time that I quit drinking..Am thinking about opening it this year at Christmas..Wanna glass?

I had a muscadine granita last week that was wonderful – I was not a fan of muscadines until that scoop!

Becky – what you have now (after 8 years fermeting in the fridge) is probably radioactive! But I'll bet we could have one heck of a hoot-nanny with it.

No leak
from Western NY
on 3/24/2014
I ordered three different makes of goggles a while ago - these were the only ones that did not leak. So, I recently ordered two more.

I use these goggles while training for my next TRI. I love the straps on these. They stay put and don't come loose.
Comfortable practice goggles, not great for meets
from Grand Junction, CO
on 7/18/2014
My daughter likes these as practice goggles because they're a bit larger and more comfortable than her meet goggles. But the larger profile makes them leak or fall off when doing starts.

The best goggles ever
from ABQ NM
on 3/9/2014
These are the only goggles I use, and the only ones I have used since I started swimming 25 years ago. I've tried many others that don't seal or are uncomfortable. These are very adjustable and stay in place without hurting.
Best goggles I've found
Paul G.
from Philadelphia, PA
on 2/19/2014
These are the only goggles that have fit me consistently and comfortably over many years. I just wish they would bring back the amber color for use in poor seeing conditions!
Perfect if you like panda eyes!
from Syracuse, NY
on 1/26/2014
I was looking for a goggle that is soft round the eye sockets and doesn't leave deep red circles after an hour swim, but this model is useless. Not only does it leave deep indents around the eyes, but because the lens are larger, the circles around the eyes are even more pronounced. Thumbs down if you're looking to avoid what some call panda eyes. The suction is not good and water also infiltrated despite that I tried several attempts at various tightness degrees with the straps, etc.
Just didn't meet her needs
from Greenwood IN
on 1/19/2014
If your face is narrow, this product may not work. We bought it with a few others to see which fit best. Didn't use them. There was problems with her other goggles causing constant bruising and swelling under her eyes and cheek bone curvature. Did some research and learned that fitting is everything. They are now only her race goggles, so looking for something for daily practice wear.

Hot or Not: Swing With the Plants
This is taking "green" a bit literally. Those are actual living vines growing on this swing, designed by Marcel Wanders. The idea is that you fill the seat with soil and seeds, and the vines grow up the ropes, making the swing "a poetic resting place for either your garden or your living room."
Hot or not? Cast your vote below the jump.
2 Comments
As pretty as it is, if I have a swing in my house I'm definitely going to plant my butt on it.
you can still sit in it. the soil is contained. i don't know that i'd want it in my house or not though. maybe on an screened in porch or sunroom.

Series of Storms Hitting New York Region Leaves Power Outages, Uninhabitable Homes
The series of storms hitting the New York region this past weekend left destruction in its wake, causing at least one fatality and wreaking havoc on trees and residents' power. Approximately 20,000 people lost power in the northern part of the state, reported WABC, while New York City and Long Island reported fewer outages, most of which had already been restored by Friday.
New Jersey experienced 25,770 power outages from the storm, and as of Monday morning, NBC reported hundreds still did not have power in central New Jersey from a Saturday night reprise. For many in the region, it could be days still before power is restored.
As of Sunday evening, Chemung County in New York reported a number of uninhabitable homes, according to WETM. A state of emergency was still in effect at that time.
Governor Andrew Cuomo said of his decision to declare a state of emergency in the area: "There were reports of isolated fires, and roofs torn off small structures, and people trapped in vehicles because of downed power lines."

Movie Props from '42' Arrive in Cooperstown
Exhibit to Open for Special Recognition of Film Over Hall of Fame Weekend 2013
April 15, 2013
(COOPERSTOWN, NY) – Several artifacts featured in the new motion picture release '42' have arrived in Cooperstown and will be featured in a new exhibit to open in July to pay tribute to the film's portrayal of Jackie Robinson in breaking baseball's color barrier in 1947.
The film '42' opened nationwide on Friday and follows the story of Robinson and Dodgers executive Branch Rickey, both members of the Hall of Fame, as Robinson is signed from the Kansas City Monarchs, through the end of the 1947 regular season, his first in the major leagues.
Artifacts now in Cooperstown from the film include: Brooklyn Dodgers jersey, pants, stirrups and cap worn by Chadwick Boseman, who played Jackie Robinson; the jersey worn by Toby Huss, who played scout and coach Clyde Sukeforth; and a faux "Sporting Life" magazine featuring Robinson and Phillies manager Ben Chapman.
The exhibit will open adjacent to the Museum's "Pride and Passion" exhibit in July, in time for Hall of Fame Weekend 2013, July 26-29, when the Hall of Fame will hold a special recognition for '42' and the film's producer Thomas Tull, the Chairman and CEO of Legendary Entertainment, as part of the Saturday Awards Presentation.
"Thomas Tull's donation of these artifacts to Cooperstown continues the rich history of Hollywood's love affair with baseball, and will preserve the legacy of this spectacular picture documenting the courageous integration of baseball by Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey," said Jeff Idelson, President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. "The movie furthers the appreciation of present and future generations of a story that can never be forgotten. Through the cinematic excellence of '42,' the film honors baseball's history while paying tribute to two of the most influential figures in our game's history."
Last week in Los Angeles, seven Hall of Famers attended the Hollywood premiere of '42' in support of the film, which featured the appearance of Jackie Robinson's Hall of Fame Plaque on the Red Carpet prior to the premiere at TCL Chinese Theater. Hall of Famers in attendance included Henry Aaron, Orlando Cepeda, Pat Gillick, Goose Gossage, Tony Gwynn, Joe Morgan and Dave Winfield.
The artifacts will be featured in a year-long exhibit at the Museum and will remain a permanent addition to the Museum's collections.

Session Descriptions
Global/Cultural Competencies (Morning Session)
Provocateur: Andrew Ranson, Executive Partner/Strategist of Giant Partners, L.L.C.
Moderator: Ruki Ravikumar (CFAD)
Writer: Dr. Susie Popplewell (CEPS)
The first challenge to becoming globally competent is to understand your own biases and cultural assumptions. What techniques might you use to help students uncover their biases? What exercise might you do to get students to observe carefully their surroundings in a culturally sensitive context? Even the way questions are asked can be culturally competent or not. What basic questions, or types of questions should be asked? Explore how asking questions and listening carefully to the answers can help avoid judgments that can get you into cultural trouble. How can the principle of seeking common ground be applied to situations requiring global competency?
Health/Wellness (Morning Session)
Provocateur: Dr. Patricia A. LaGrow, Vice Provost and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs
Moderator: Dr. James Allen (Wellness Center)
Writer: Dr. Bill Pink (CEPS)
There are two challenges to becoming competent in the health/wellness tenet of transformative learning. The first challenge is defining health and wellness itself. The second more difficult challenge it to help students connect health and wellness to their own capacity to meet personal, academic, and long-term goals. How are health and wellness best defined? What strategies might the university create to assist students in overcoming barriers to living a healthy lifestyle? What curricular and co-curricular activities might faculty and staff create to help students become more observant of how factors such as peer influence, policy, and the environment impact the development of a healthy lifestyle? How specifically can the university empower students in fostering a sense of community as an approach to improving public health?
Leadership (Morning Session)
Provocateur: Dr. Brian Bush, Executive Director of Oklahoma Christian University's Academy of Leadership & Liberty
Moderator: Dr. Rozilyn Miller (CLA)
Writer: Dr. Gayle Kearns (CFAD) & Amanda Horton (CFAD)
The difficulties for teaching leadership in higher education are connecting the theoretical understanding of leadership to the daily practice and development of leadership in a student. By bridging the gap between theory and practice educators can provide academic programs and courses that not only measure the intellectual understanding of leadership but also promote individual leadership development. This is often easier said than done. The challenge for teaching leadership and developing leadership is twofold: Is it possible to measure the development of a student's capacity to lead and what methods and practices afford an institution the ability to examine students in a leadership role? Our conversation will center on ways to facilitate both of these issues.
Provocateur: Dr. Cathy Webster, Assistant Professor of Modern Languages, UCO
Moderator: Beth Adele (Career Services)
Writer: Dr. Jill Devenport (CEPS)
For an undergraduate, what is the purpose of discipline knowledge, commonly found in the form of a major? At some colleges, the role of any one specific major is greatly de-emphasized; the goal is to gain skills in critical thinking, analysis, argumentation, speaking and writing. The content, in many cases, is irrelevant. This session asks the following questions: How far into a discipline can we expect a student to go? Who defines a discipline? What of a combined or independent major? Does student preparedness play a role in our teaching students content? Does delivery make a difference? Will discipline knowledge be better learned, understood, and applied if it is transmitted in ways that today's students find appealing and attractive? Do we expect students to learn facts, to manipulate these facts, to interpret them? Is discipline knowledge strictly informational? How can it be transformational?
Provocateur: Dr. John Mateja, Director of the Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity Office and the McNair Scholars Program at Murray State
Moderator: Dr. Luis Montes (CMS)
Writer: Amy Johnson (CFAD)
The presentation will focus on the question "why change?" Change requires an investment of time, effort and resources. Is this investment needed to maintain the U.S.'s global influence and competitiveness? To answer this question, Dr. Mateja looks at the challenges the U.S. and the world are facing, discusses the skill areas needed to meet these challenges and then will look to see how well the next generation of students is being prepared to solve problems. Finally, a snapshot look at today's U.S. workforce is taken to see what the composition of the workforce portends for the future of the United States.

Sick Days Are for Wimps!
momlogic's Vivian: Remember sick days? You know, when feeling like utter doo-doo meant the main obligation of the day was to mumble a brief message of misery into your boss's voicemail? And after a furtive pee and double shot of NyQuil, you could collapse back into a Technicolor slumber to shake the discomfort of horse testicles throbbing away in your throat, regaining consciousness only to glean five-minute pearls of wisdom from "Oprah" and "Extra" from the comfort of the space between your covers?
Only after two full days of lolling about in this fugue state with no time zone would you scrape your butt out of bed, choke down tea, a bagel and half a dozen Sudafed and bravely venture back into the workplace. You'd then emerge to spend eight hours trying to comprehend the marching orders issued by your professional superior through eardrums awash with fluid, while deep in a manic pseudoephedrine high that inspires you to gnaw through ten pencils.
For me and every other mom in the universe without help in-house or a partner with the spare day to stay home and assume the parenting position, the sick day has been reduced to an urban myth, an elusive reverie of my pre-production days when I could take a lengthy, luxurious dump with the door closed or actually have ten minutes to try on clothes when shopping for them.
Sigh. Those were the days. How I miss those days.
But if you're sick as a dog like me, you've no recourse but to buck up, buttercup, and get on with the diaper-changing and nose-wiping (yours -- soon to be theirs). Because as any mom on the planet will tell you, sick days are for wimps.
If you are a sick-day-taking wimp, please forgive my diatribe. I don't hate you. I'm just jealous as all living hell.
Thanks a ton for being my mentor on this topic. We enjoyed the article quite definitely and most of all liked how you really handled the issues I regarded as controversial. You are always extremely kind to readers really like me and assist me to in my living. Thank you.
Thanks so much for writing all of the excellent information! Looking forward to checking out more posts!
I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.
Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It truly useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and aid others like you helped me.
Hey, I simply hopped over in your website by way of StumbleUpon. No longer one thing I'd usually learn, but I favored your feelings none the less. Thanks for making something worth reading.
Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.
This web site can be a stroll-via for all of the information you wished about this and didnât know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and youâll undoubtedly uncover it.
Just right issues?I might observe that as any person who truly doesn't write on blogs much (actually, this can be my first post), I don't assume the term 'lurker' may be very turning into to a non-posting reader. It's now not your fault the least bit , but in all probability the blogosphere may just get a hold of a greater, non-creepy title for the ninety% of us that revel in studying the content .
I certainly did not know that. Learnt a thing new right now! Thanks for that.
Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally â taking time and actual effort to make a very good article⦠but what can I say⦠I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get something done.
You need to participate in a contest for probably the greatest blogs on the web. I will suggest this web site!
Yups, this is a problem that most people today face.Thanks for your great post.
I love the look of your website. I recently built mine and I was looking for some design ideas and you gave me a few. Can I ask you whether you developed the website by youself?
You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
Hello - I must say, Iâm impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and information was very easy to access. I found what I wanted in no time at all. Pretty awesome. Would appreciate it if you add forums or something, it would be a perfect way for your clients to interact. Great job
Terrific post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this topic? I'd be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Many thanks!
Have you given any kind of consideration at all with translating your main web site into French? I know a few of translaters here that might help you do it for no cost if you wanna get in touch with me.
I believe that one of your current advertisements caused my web browser to resize, you may well need to get that on your blacklist.
With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
