Buy it from
- Buy the CD
- Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 9 & 21
- Mitsuko Uchida, The Cleveland Orchestra
- Decca (UMO)
- 2012
Mitsuko Uchida's long association with the Cleveland Orchestra dates back to 1990, first as soloist then as conductor. Her relationship with the Mozart concertos goes back further. She began her complete cycle with Jeffrey Tate, still a benchmark, in 1985. Increasingly now she directs from the keyboard, producing a new intimacy to her performances of work she knows so well. The result is joyful, probing and vivacious in the early Jeunehomme in E flat major, K271 and in the grand C major, K467, both of which have famously tender, poetic slow movements. The ensemble between Uchida and the Cleveland is cleanly articulated but always full of wonder and curiosity.

Maitri Five Wisdom Energies practice was first developed by Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche and is based on the principles of the five buddha families of Tibetan tantra. Each buddha family emphasizes a particular aspect ofenlightened energy or enlightened wisdom. These energies also have their confused emotional and environmental aspects, which the practitionerlearns how to recognize and transform into enlightened qualities containing tremendous intelligence, vigor and heart.
The emphasis of the practice is on discovering within these raw and wakeful energies unconditional friendliness towards oneself. This discovery becomes a basis for living one's life more fully, skillfully understanding and relating with others, and establishing a dynamic and healthy relationshipwith one's work, home and natural environments.
You can find more information on Maitri Space Awareness in articles by Chogyam Trungpa and Irini Rockwell by clicking on the links.
The Five Wisdom Energies: A Buddhist Way of Understanding Personalities, Emotions, and Relationship by Irini Rockwell is another resource to find out more about working with the energies of the five buddha families.
In this weekend, we will explore the five Buddha families in an atmosphere of friendliness and curiosity to learn about our habitual styles of relating, as well as the freshness of relating directly with our perceptions and our world. By exposing us to these fundamental styles of relating to the world, Maitri practice cultivates a broader understanding of people and more empathy for their worlds.This program is open to meditators of all levels.
Scott Perkins has been working with the Maitri Five Wisdom Energies since the early 90's. He was introduced to the practice while at Naropa University where he received an MA in Buddhist Studies and Tibetan Language. He has taught the Maitri program in a variety of formats including weekends and longer retreats. Scott is the Director of Development for a non-profit, healthcare policy organization and, along with his partner, has a small business consulting with health care practitioners to generate ancillary income and better meet the patient's needs. In addition to teaching in Shambhala, Scott is also the Chair of the Heart of Recovery Working Group and conducts retreats on mediation and recovery.

We have been having some great discussions with our WD community lately, one of which has to do with the question of can anyone learn to be a web designer? I have to admit that this is a very difficult question which I hope to answer in this post.
How do you define designer?
There are many types of designers — interior designers, graphic designers, website designers, clothing designers, and so on. Each will have their own set of skills or disciplines that they must learn, as well as possible requirements for credibility. For the sake of this conversation I will talk specifically about graphic or web design.
Is being a designer a gift or a learnable skill?
I believe that most people can learn the techniques of an artist or designer. Betty Edwards demonstrated how she discovered a way to teach "non-artists" to draw in her book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. I also know that we can teach students the mechanics of Photoshop and how to create fantastic design elements such as graphical headers or buttons for the web. However, having the "designer's eye" or becoming a top-notch designer is not something that can be learned by most … I think you are either born with this ability or you are not.
Should I just give up?
Absolutely not! Just because you may never be a top-notch designer doesn't mean you should quit. If you can learn some of the design basics and theory, you can do well. You could also work with designers to improve your idea or help you where you are weak (and you could possibly be a strength and help them where they are weak).
Can YOU be a web designer?
I think many people can be a web designer without being born a natural artist, but you must recognize and understand that you may never be the best at what you do. I have seen non-designers make a really good income from their web design business (and ironically really great designers struggle). My encouragement to you is to just try it and see. Once you've knocked out a couple of projects, seek counsel from a reputable and professional designer to get their feedback. Maybe you have a hidden ability you never knew existed or you might improve dramatically with the right teacher or instruction. Either way you have to find out for yourself. Happy designing!

For a long time, I shuddered at the thought of a bath in the bedroom. It conjured up images of an over-pouffed B & B with a tub stuck at the end of a bed. I am not sure where this image came from, but the recent spate of well designed bedrooms with tub on full display has me rethinking. Here's a roundup of some of our favorite finds:

I thought it was amzing
I thought it was amzing seeing someone being face to face with a tiger shark
Sharks are one of nature's most beautiful—and misunderstood—creatures. When most people think of sharks, they think of unexpecting swimmers being attacked and eaten by a nightmarish creature. But what they don't know is that many sharks are more afraid of us than we are of them. The sharks that come close are probably curious about why such a long-finned animal—a person—that they've never seen before is splashing around in their ocean. Wouldn't you want to check it out too? Go ahead and check out these sharks in this slideshow of some of the best photographs of these amazing animals. Then read 5 Reasons to Revere, Not Fear, the Shark and learn more about shark diversity, biology and evolution.
The oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) is usually observed offshore in deep, warm waters throughout the world. The common length is about 270 cm (approximately 9 ft), but much larger oceanic whitetips have been recorded, one measuring 396 cm (approximately 13 ft). This once abundant and widespread shark faces serious population declines, due to fishing pressures. They are particularly sought after for their large fins which are used in shark fin soup.

What would you do if you came face to face with a shark? Brian Skerry lives for these moments and is ready with his camera. Here he is seen photographing a large tiger shark on the seafloor near the Bahamas. Read more about Life in the Field with Brian Skerry.

Named for the radiant blue color on its back and sides, the blue shark (Prionace glauca) traverses the world's temperate and tropical seas. Known for traveling great distances and being a swift predator, blue sharks feed on squid, bony fish, and marine mammal carrion . However fast the blue shark may be, its numbers are declining due to bycatch, sport and commercial fisheries, and illegal poaching.

Gray reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) are known for being active at night. They are considered Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List due to fishing and the loss of their coral reef habitat. The sinister animal, with its sleek body, can be quite aggressive when directly threatened.
Tobias Friedrich/Nature's Best Photography
Like other catsharks, the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) is named for the elongated, cat-like shape of its eyes. But all sharks have cat-like eyes—in a different way. Like cats, sharks have a layer of reflective cells behind their retina called the tapetum lucidum. This layer allows them to see better in dark and cloudy waters, in the deep sea or at night. (The small hole behind its eye is a spiracle, through which water passes to the shark's gills to allow it to breathe.)

The shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) is found offshore in tropical and warm temperate waters of all oceans, but has been known to travel to cooler waters at times. It is very strong and the fastest known species of shark. These qualities make the shortfin mako a prized catch among recreational fisherman. The mako is also sought by commercial fisheries for the production of shark fin soup, leather, and oils, and is often caught unintentionally as bycatch.

This hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) swims through the Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary site in Colombia, which was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2006. The marine park surrounding Malpelo Island is the largest no-fishing zone in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, providing critical refuge for threatened and endangered marine mammals, fish, and turtles. The nutrient-loaded waters support rich aggregations of biodiversity, including populations of large predators like this hammerhead shark, and is an important source of fish and invertebrate larvae to surrounding waters.
I want snack, so give me cookie! The cookie cutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) is as fearless as they come! This small, 20-inch shark can take on giants like whales and larger sharks, and have even been known to mistakenly try to bite submarines. They dwell in the deep warm ocean and come closer to the surface as the sun sets to grab a quick snack off their unsuspecting prey. Cookie cutter sharks approach their victims from below, latch on with their suction cup style lips, bite and then twist. A nice, round hole is left as a souvenir. They get this easy meal by tricking other ocean residents with their distinctive brown collar, which may act as a lure that allows the cookie cutter shark to be seen as a smaller, not-so-scary fish. As frightening as they seem, they do not pose a threat to humans.

Due to its large size, adaptability in captivity, and once abundant populations, the lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris) has been the subject of extensive laboratory and field studies. Female sharks deposit their pups in shallow, coastal waters, and they live in these reef and mangrove nurseries for up to four years. As adults, they move to deeper waters of up to about 90 meters (295 feet) deep. Habitat destruction and loss in the coastal nurseries pose a serious threat to the sharks, in addition to commercial and recreational fisheries and mortality from bycatch.

Not all sharks are a dull gray: the coral catshark (Atelomycterus marmoratus), for example, is vibrantly colored. These sharks, which reach more than 2 feet long, live among coral reefs, eating invertebrates and small fish. Their leopard-like pattern provides camouflage as they swim through their reef habitat. Due to habitat destruction and overfishing, the coral catshark is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

As of Wednesday, Los Angeles reformulated gasoline wholesale prices were $1.20 lower that the current Los Angeles average price. Normally the margin between wholesale prices and prices at the pump is much lower.''

The moment we found out that we were having a girl we instantly knew that her name will be Athena. The middle name on the other hand has been a bit tricky for us. Even though Athena is a Greek name we don't necessarily feel that her middle needs to be Greek too. The only real requirment is that is does not being with the letter "A". Her first and last name already begin with an "A" & we really do not want her initals to be AAA.
I really need some ideas.
How about
I just want to say that I think Athena is a lovely classic name and I am so happy you are going to be using it.
Athena Louise
Athena Lee
Athena Jane
Athena Mae
It seems like after a pretty and unique name like Athena, the middle name should be simple to give it a nice ring. Way to agree on the first name already! That's the biggest challenge. When you think about it, most people probably won't ever know her middle name.

Asian stocks have had a stellar year, but you wouldn't guess it from the sour tang of flop sweat wafting from its markets. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, home to big Chinese stocks available to global investors, is up 22% this year, while Indian stocks are up 25%. Smaller markets boast gains of 27% in Thailand and 35% in the Philippines. Even the Nikkei is up 18%. The worst laggards are Chinese stocks restricted to locals, but even the Shanghai Composite Index has rebounded 10% in December and could end 2012 flat—not bad after double-digit-percentage declines over each of the past two years.
So why the long faces? With Europe and the U.S. stalling, Asia is losing its export growth engine. Indian government reform aimed at boosting investment and agriculture, and Beijing's first new leaders in a decade, both promise change. But transformation takes time. Asia wants to become less reliant on belt-tightening Westerners, but until its consumers can afford to spend more, its markets are still ruled by outside forces. And this year showed that the Pacific Ocean, time zones, and cultural differences are no barrier to the same risk-on, risk-off impulses afflicting the U.S.
You can easily mistake the 2012 charts of many Asian markets for the Standard & Poor's 500: There's the same steep first-quarter rally and the same second-quarter flight, as global-growth concerns grew, before synchronized money-printing by global central banks eked out a jagged second-half recovery. About the only difference: Asia, with no fiscal cliff, was spared November's bout of selling.
Still, all of our printed money has to go somewhere, and in a world of drab growth, emerging Asia expanded 6.1% this year, outpacing 2.7% for Latin America, and 2.6% for emerging Europe. China has slowed after years of rabid growth, but the new normal of near 8% may prove more sustainable. Asian governments still have tools for goosing their economies, which is one reason that its central banks aren't cutting rates further, and strengthening currencies support buying power.
Meanwhile, I'm happy to note that my bullish 2012 picks are up an average 13.9%, three times better than the 4.2% benchmark average. Gains were counted from Mondays after publication through Dec. 14, and compared with the MSCI Asia index in the period. Dividends were excluded, even though I tended toward safer dividend payers in my first year of covering Asia.
I had fewer bearish pans, and two-thirds of these—like Li & Fung (ticker: 494.Hong Kong) and Apple supplier Catcher Technology 2474.Tw 2.154398563734291% Catcher Technology Co. Ltd.

The problem with helpdesk ticketing systems is there's rarely anywhere to file a ticket about them, but that didn't stop the users of WTF U's incident management system from raising hell when their new staff cellphone numbers caused this error:
Like all diligent university procurement departments, WTF U's had carefully considered their approved list of Highly Paid Consultants and then hired two of their own Computing Science majors to develop the Integrated Departmental Incident Outcome Tracker, rolled out with slight customizations to all university departments. Being in Greater London, the values entered in the phone number field had always been ten digits long and in the 020 local exchange — the leading zero being dropped when interpreting the number as an integer. The campus IT department, pursuing their mandate of never leaving anything bloody well alone, had recently rolled out mobile phones to their technicians so they could be harassed by professors whilst on vacation. UK mobile numbers begin with 07 followed by nine digits, and as soon as a tech tried to enter his new number in the tracker, he was confronted by the foregoing error.
The original developers of the incident tracker were long gone: one had graduated and become a Highly Paid Consultant, the other was now an adjunct professor at U of WTF away in Northumberland. Ebony was the new student hired to maintain the incident tracker, and she hadn't been on the job long when the screenshot arrived, attached to a nasty email from the IT department. After staring at the screenshot for a while and wishing for something stronger in her mug than coffee, she dove into the application.
The code behind the offending phone number field didn't disappoint. It featured a somewhat defensively-toned comment explaining the convenience of representing phone numbers as ten-digit integers, and she couldn't disagree: while all the traditional typographical conventions of phone numbers were rebuffed, the system was ready if people one day decided to prefix them with a minus sign. Nonetheless, the system as written wouldn't tolerate a mobile number, since even without the conventional whitespace entered by the screenshot's submitter, any mobile number in the UK would still exceed the 32-bit integer limit... even if she simply made the field unsigned int.
Ebony made the argument to her manager that phone numbers were essentially character and not numerical data, even though most of their contents were digits. Storing them in a numeric data type didn't make sense as you couldn't logically perform any numeric computations on them. While consistency was important, she argued, they should (carefully) validate entries in the application layer and store the phone numbers as character data. Her manager, a senior developer, was sympathetic but not hopeful: he explained that the university's procurement department technically owned internal systems like the tracker, and they were very conservative about changes.
"After all," he said, "in their minds, this system has worked rather well for years. Why change it now?"
"Because its users have changed!" Ebony said. "Mobile-number use is only going to increase. Would it suffice if I merely changed the existing field to a 64-bit integer? It's still stupid, but at least it would hold a mobile number."
"I hate to say it," her manager said, "but they're less likely to approve even that change than to argue that mobiles are a passing fad."
So it was that Ebony learned what "maintaining" the Integrated Departmental Incident Outcome Tracker really meant: she closed her IDE, opened her email client, and apologetically suggested that the technician enter the number for his desk line instead. Without spaces.
We were maintaining an elderly FORTRAN app some years ago, which queued entries onto a print queue. All went well till our new printer software suddenly decided that all files would be printed in size order. So all the front pages came out, then all the back pages, then the report content, thereby causing a colossal manual overhead in collating the damn things, which previously had been printed envelope-perfect.
The solution of course was to concatenate the complete report into one file before printing: front page, body, back page in that order, so that they would be directly ready once more for mailing.
The next problem concerned how to uniquely create a report file. This was done by means of a timestamp, consisting of day, month, hour, minute, second, all in 2-digit format, concatenated into one integer.
Suddenly, on the 22nd of October, all the print jobs failed.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) - The Conservation Congress is thanking Wisconsin for keeping public lands open while the government shutdown was underway.
The group especially thanked the Department of Natural Resources for pointing out which portions of public land were open while federally managed properties were closed. WCC chair Rob Bohmann says, "The Department has also done a great job of identifying public land and water accesses that are owned or managed by state or local municipalities which are still available for the public to use. DNR officials have gone the extra mile trying to get the word out about that."
The federal shutdown closed off the Apostle Islands Lakeshore and the Chequamegon and Nicolet National Forests. Federal officials were also calling for the closure of lands managed through federal funding, but the DNR declined to close any of those regions where they have control.
"I respect the gravity of the situation the federal government is dealing with, but there are a lot of Wisconsinites that wait all year for the fall season to come around--for hunting, bird watching, and viewing the spectacular foliage," Bohmann said. "It would be really unfortunate if they were unable to participate in these activities because they were denied access to public land."
State, local and county properties remained open through the shutdown.

I have recently discovered the "Hey! It's ok" column in Glamour magazine, which is also conveniently located on their web site. I think it's genius that someone decided to take every woman's guilty pleasures-who hasn't eaten an entire bag of Oreos in one sitting-and make it into a feature, with the premise of it being totally normal and okay. For some reason, there are things that everyone thinks but no one wants to admit and there's no reason for that. Next time you, even for a second, do or think something and then feel the tiniest bit of guilt, just remember-hey, it's ok!
I was sorting through some of the classic books today for my internship, and I began to mentally make a list of all the classics I have yet to read. There should definitely be a list that every person should be required to read since some of these classics are so much a part of our culture.
Check them out yourself, www.dailylit.com/tags/classics
As the news editor of my school's student newspaper, I have been kept busy this week with the announcement last Friday that one of the University's alum and former commencement speaker, Doug Perlitz, has been indicted with charges of sexually abusing children in Haiti. He had started a school in Haiti to help the kids there, and received almost $2 million in donations from the University community over the past years. Several key members of the University were on the board and the former director of campus ministry was closely tied to the school. Now, the University has no direct involvement in the Haitian school or the Haiti Fund, which was set up to support the school. Nor are they currently willing to speak about anything that they may know.
Members of our staff have worked hard this past week to speak to administration and find out what is exactly going on and what the University knows about the situation. They will only comment off the record. Father Carrier, the former director of campus ministry, is currently mia..no one knows where he is. Or, no one will say where he is. It is being speculated that the University is trying to cover up his whereabouts. At mass this upcoming Sunday, the University plans on speaking to the students about the situation. No press allowed. So where does that leave me?
As a student, I have a right to attend this mass and find out more about the University's stance on this matter. As an editor for the paper, I also have the right and they duty to report the story as it is, not as how the University wants people to see it. The president of the University issued a statement on Wednesday, the day after the paper goes to print.
This whole ordeal, plus a conversation I had with one of my friends last week, has made me think a lot about the notion of freedom of the press. My friend and I got into an argument about the American press versus European, specifically British, press considering we both studied abroad in Europe. British press is very much to the point whereas American press is sometimes very biased and very controlled. As consumers, the media often directs us towards a certain type of news or story-consider the entertainment industry.
I am intrigued to see how this will all play out in the coming weeks and whether or not our roles as students and reporters will somehow be compromised or questioned.

Last night I watched the new extended trailer for "New Moon," the movie based on the second book in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight saga. It looks great, and seems to be loads better from the first movie. Now, I've read the entire series twice, all four books once before even the first movie came out. I'm a huge Twilight fan and am anxiously awaiting the new movie. It made me wonder, though, if the movie would even come close to the book, no matter how good it is.
I've always maintained that when movies are made based on books, the movie can never be as good as its novel counterpart. Take Harry Potter for instance. The movies are terrific, especially with all the graphics and animation. Sometimes it's pretty amazing to see how they can transform Rowling's world onscreen. However, unless the movies were 7 hours long (and it still wouldn't cover everything), the books could never be perfectly transpired onscreen. Rowling has too many minute details that end up being so significant in the end. Although the movies do stick relatively close to the books, parts of the plot and some of the characters are not seen onscreen at all, simply due to the limitations the theater puts on the story.
The same with Twilight. I must say, as much as I love Robert Pattinson's interpretation of Edward Cullen, the first movie did not capture the lore and center of Meyer's story. I remember being extremely hyped as I walked into the theater and then as I was watching the movie, I was thinking to myself how different and unparallel it was to the book. I'm glad I read the books first because it enabled me to see the Twilight world in my own eyes rather than in Summit Entertainment's eyes. But isn't it funny how that always works out? That the movie, no matter what, is never as good as the book it is based on. Could be I'm just partial to reading.
This is a Wall Street Journal article about how the generation of 9/11 is now on the brink of adulthood. Since it's the 8th anniversary of 9/11 today and since I'm a New Yorker who is a part of the 9/11 generation (I was 13 at the time), I thought it would be appropriate.

Retired nightclub performer/computer technician, I now teach hula and ukulele to seniors, and record Hawaiian music for my halau!
"Well, okay, so...!"
A riveting historical mystery set amid the exquisite ritual and refined treachery of 11th-century Japan...NOT! It seems to me that the timeline works best in the late 19th century after the samurai era ended. Taken in that context, it feels better. I can certainly then wrap myself around such phrases "make book on the results", "football", and some guy named "Spike".
The author did an exceptionally poor job of placing the reader in the ancient Japanese setting. I felt that more could have been done, such as calling a kimono a kimono instead of a "robe", referring to roads as roads rather than "avenues". Proper cultural terminology is essential to keeping the listener imbedded in the time period.
As for the narrator, Seibei talks like Jar Jar Binks after one or two speech therapy sessions. It is also surprising that some of the characters spoke with a pseudo Japanese accent, while the main character spoke like Mickey Spillane. Bad pronounciation of Japanese names was off-putting. My daughter, hearing my constant mutterings as I audibly corrected the narrator, kept telling me to "shut up", she was so annoyed.
Since I bought the book, I was determined to listen as though it were just a regular old mystery novel. Having done so, I am not compelled to purchase another of I.J. Parker's books of Japan.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –During this freezing weather, you're no doubt focused on keeping yourself warm, but auto mechanics say you also need to focus on protecting our vehicles.
Mechanics say even if you aren't experiencing any noticeable problems with your vehicle, the cold weather could cause it to fail you.
Technicians at Premier Autoworks have seen a 25 percent increase in business due to the cold weather.
Wednesday morning when Pete Kamishlian went to start his car he noticed something wasn't right.
"I turned the key and it just kind of dragged trying to start," said Pete.
He got it started but didn't get too far before his car died.
"The battery was low it just wasn't up to snuff and a lot of it was because of the cold weather," said Pete.
Technicians say the cold weather brings a host of problems, many of which can be prevented.
"The main thing we see when the weather starts dropping down is battery issues," said James Stalvey, Owner of Premier Autoworks.
Even if you think your battery is fine, technicians say get it checked.
"A lot of times it may be fine during the warmer days but when it starts to get cold a lot of times that battery will fail you," said Stalvey.
The cold weather may also leave you with a deflated tire.
"The colder it is the less pressure you are going to have in the tire," said Stalvey.
And If you wake up to a frozen windshield do not pour hot water over it, you may turn a small crack into a much larger problem.
"If your window is frozen I recommend turning your car on and turning the defroster on," said Stalvey.
Sometimes, proper windshield solvent will help defrost a frozen window but the wrong type could cause problems.
"Your windshield washer fluid will freeze if you don't have the proper mixture inside," said Stalvey.
Make sure you have proper anti freeze mixture because it may freeze and cause damage to radiator
Pete advices others not to follow his lead, and learn the hard way.
"Go into a good mechanic and let them check the battery and make sure you don't have a dead cell," said Pete.
Because there is nothing more frustrating than being stranded on the side of the road.
Mechanics at some shops, like this one here will actually test and recharge your battery for free.
They will also test your Anti-freeze mixture at no cost. It takes just a matter of minutes so you could even stop by on your lunch break so like they say its better to be safe than sorry.
Mechanics also say you shouldn't leave cell phones, IPODS, GPS devices or any other electronics in your car because the extreme cold would cause them to malfunction.

As our bee populations dwindle, could we also be facing down the prospect of a honey shortage? »
Entomologist May Berenbaum is here today to take our questions about bees, their recent decline, and what we can expect from our pollinators in the future. »
For over a decade, a disease called colony collapse disorder has been destroying bee populations worldwide. Because bees pollinate many of our staple crops, their deaths threaten our food supplies. Now, new evidence is solidifying a case against the likely culprit in their deaths. »
We know that honeybee dieoffs have been a problem in America, but what about their European cousins? A new report takes the first comprehensive look at just what is happening to the bee colonies in Europe — and the news is very bad indeed. »
Glued to the back of this Australian bee is an RFID chip that can track where it goes, what it eats, and when. But this bug won't be tracking you — instead, it just might save the planet. »
Right now, bee colonies are suffering dramatic die-offs. This has implications for food security, since we need bees to fertilize a lot of our staple fruit crops, including apples. Now a new scientific study suggests one way to ensure the health of a hive is to make sure its queen is promiscuous. »
We've suspected for quite some time now that cutting-edge insecticides were responsible for the catastrophic hive crashes that are inflicting honey bee populations. But recent evidence suggests that this may not be the case — instead, Colony Collapse Disorder is the result of a highly contagious virus that's being… »
Something is very wrong with the bees. Since 2006, the mysterious phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder has wiped out countless honeybee colonies throughout Europe and North America, and nobody knows why. But a weird parasite may hold the answer. »
For reasons that aren't fully understood, bees are dying off. That could mean disaster for us, since we depend on bees to pollinate crops. The solution? To create disease- and pest-resistant super-bees. What could possibly go wrong? »
Many people don't think that the collapse of bee populations is as big a mystery as it's made out to be. An EPA memo, leaked last month, reveals that a commonly used pest-control chemical can disrupt bee colonies. »
If you ever get into a tense confrontation with a bee, and then you have to back down for whatever reason, don't try to salvage it by saying "Remember the face." Because it turns out bees can do that. »
With the number of beehives in the US reduced to nearly a third of what they were 50 years ago, scientists say we can't wait any longer to deal with honeybee mass deaths. The future of farming depends on it. »

Not having good feelings about this. Ran it 5 times on horde and 3 times as alliance and that stupid ass coaster trinket dropped every single time. Didn't see the egg, watch, remote, mount, some sort of dumb toy dropped no one wanted, and my hunter took the broken bottle dagger since no one wanted that either.

Choosing the Right Trip
We work hard to help you choose the right trip for you, paying attention to your individual interests, abilities, and needs. If you have questions about the level of comfort or any of the activities described in this itinerary, please contact us.
We are proud to have an exceptionally high rate of repeat travelers. For more information, we would be happy to put you in touch with a client who has traveled with us.
Departure Notes
Once you have signed up on the trip, we send a complete packing list, relevant health information, and required travel documents.
The snow-dusted peaks of the Spanish Pyrenees soar above a bucolic realm of oak and fir forests, ancient stone bridges, and villages linked by age-old shepherds' paths. Our exploration of this beckoning world brings you from Pamplona to Barcelona, and combines breathtaking day hikes with forays into the diversity of cultures that makes northern Spain so intriguing. Our hikes bring you to green valleys where the ancient Aragonese dialect is still spoken, up to craggy alpine heights where mountain goats scramble, and along the back lanes of stone-built Pyrenean towns. Along the way, you'll meet the Basque and Catalan people, sample sheep cheeses and hearty wines, and enjoy charming lodgings.

Days 1-3
Pamplona / Ordesa National Park
From Pamplona, head right into the Pyrenees for a hike offering views of snow-capped peaks. In Ordesa National Park, a glacier-carved valley flanked by 10,000-foot mountains, our hike brings you to a breathtaking waterfall below the face of Monte Perdido (11,000').
Days 4-6

What the Trip is Like
This trip is rated Level 4, Moderate to Strenuous. It features very active hikes and accommodations in small hotels and inns. The hikes range from three to seven hours and take place on trails at altitudes of around 4,500 to 8,000 feet. You carry only a daypack on the hikes. However, there are steep ascents and descents and there are some sections that cross rough or rocky trails. For your own enjoyment, we recommend you make a special effort to be in good physical condition for the trip. Daily brisk walking and/or regular hiking (or using a stair-climbing machine at your gym) are excellent preparatory exercises. You should wear sturdy, well-broken-in hiking boots for maximum comfort on the trail.
On our picnic lunches, we feature cheese, fresh vegetables, salamis, copa, ham, fresh fruit, Spanish chocolate, and the local breads. Our lunches and dinners in local taverns and restaurants give us the opportunity to sample the best local dishes and wines. Please note that in Spain, the dinner hour is considerably later than what it is in the US. We do our best to secure early reservations for our groups, but most often the evening meal will be at 9:00 p.m.
When we transfer from our hotel to the trailhead and back without changing hotels, our average driving time is 15-20 minutes. When we transfer from one valley to another and/or from one hotel to the next, driving time is approximately two hours. The driving distances on these days are no longer than 50 miles, but the mountain roads are narrow and winding, so the driver proceeds slowly as a safety precaution.

Siskok turned 2 today!
(Source: assets)
Halo everyone!
as usual, before leaving for an international adventure I always create a blog where lately I should post pics and comments (yee, fb wasn't that developed in Iceland still). Anyway, ofcoursely there has never been any upload is such websites, as for Iceland as for Evilburg, tales from tilburg. And this is not a different case!! So siskok (fusion of sisco and bangkok come on captain obvious) is just born!
This time I'm exploring asia, so everything is gonna be a little more complicated and it won't be possible to use the usual format. Also, I'll have to work, so less time for real missions. But I'm gonna make it hopefully and also coming back at the end in January would be nice..let's try.
Well, after this little introduction of the situation (nothing such an introduction to me here, fortunately), it's still necessary to wait a coupple of weeks to leave for Bangkok stopping in magic Abu dhabi. Exactly 11 days to go!
What else…it's gonna be cu …wait for it…. te!!
More excitement!!!
All videos and great charts and playlist of my little brain

HOUSTON -- Well, at least BYU receiver Cody Hoffman will never forget the game in which he passed Dennis Pitta for the most receptions in school history and tied Austin Collie for the most touchdown receptions at a school that has thrown the football around a little bit in the last half-century.
In BYU's 47-46 win over Houston on Saturday at Reliant Stadium, Hoffman caught seven passes for 156 yards and a touchdown, extending his streak to 37 games in which the senior has caught at least one pass.
The Del Norte High (Crescent City) product is now BYU's all-time receptions leader with 228.
"It feels good, being able to pass a great receiver like Pitta for catches," Hoffman said. "I am not going to slow down, though. I am going to keep going and set the record even higher."
His fourth-quarter touchdown catch of 25 yards, the second straight game in which he's hauled in a long TD pass while being interfered with in the end zone, was the 30th of his career.
"That seems to be the story of the year," Hoffman said. "I don't mind it. A touchdown is a touchdown whether they are draped all over me or not. I will take them however I get them."

(nyse: CCE - news - people ), will have rights to distribute Honest Tea and Honest Ade in Northern California, Arizona, Las Vegas, Washington and Oregon. It will begin in late September.Honest Tea co-founder Seth Goldman had built a patchwork of distributors for the brand, even sending out tea through distributors of cheese, corned beef and charcoal, before being able to tap into Coca-Cola's valuable distribution network.Coca-Cola's investment in Honest Tea is part of an overall strategy by the world's biggest soft drink maker to sell more non-cola drinks such as enhanced or sparkling water and energy drinks to appeal to consumers looking for healthier drinks. Coca-Cola's $4.1 billion purchase of Glaceau's VitaminWater in June 2007 sent ripples throughout the industry.Rival PepsiCo Inc. (nyse: PEP - news - people ), based in Purchase, N.Y., has brands such as Gatorade, SoBe Life Water and Lipton-brand ready-to-drink teas.Copyright 2008 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

This dress was based on the Louisa Drop-Waist Dress pattern. Before I start sewing I found a lot of information about the 20's. It was an amazing time. It was a time of cutting loose and having fun. I just fell in love with this period of history.
I decided to change the bottom of the dress and made bias cut asymmetrical skirt and inserted godet into the right seam. In addition to the style I made a fabric flower.
I used a silk satin fabric for the dress. For the flower – silk satin and chiffon.

High tides in South Florida raise climate concerns
Send this story to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Another high tide hit eroded areas of Fort Lauderdale Beach in Florida this week, officials hope it will be the last major high tide event of 2012.
Local and state officials scrambled to deal with erosion that threatened to undermine Highway A1A over the weekend. Underlying the entire crisis has been growing fear the rising sea levels would have a permanent impact on the beach.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler said the crisis presented "a unique opportunity to bring governmental and climate experts together to develop a long-term restoration and renourishment plan that will enable us to adapt to changing climate conditions, protect our region's economy and great quality of life, and continue to build strong, livable and sustainable communities."
Fort Lauderdale public affairs manager Chaz Adams wrote in an email, "We are also trying to emphasize that the erosion is only impacting a small, four-block portion of the beach and that access to hotels, restaurants and other areas of the beach are not affected. As you know, the erosion story has made national news and we want to reassure tourists and visitors that our beaches are still beautiful and accessible."
Fort Lauderdale, Broward County and the Florida Department of Transportation were scrambling to develop plans to prevent further erosion and eventually rebuild the beach.
The ocean removed parking meters and traffic signals along A1A, just north of Sunrise Boulevard Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.
Local governments will work together to come up with a plan to deal with erosion concerns.

AMC announced in a joint statement with Sony Pictures TV on Wednesday that they are moving forward with "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul." The network and studio have so far reached a licensing agreement for the hourlong drama.
Bob Odenkirk, who plays Goodman on the parent series, will star in the spinoff, with "Breaking Bad" vet Peter Gould spearheading the project.
Program will hail from Sony Pictures TV, the studio behind "Breaking Bad," and Vince Gilligan will remain involved in the creative process of the spinoff.
The path to striking the "Better Call Saul" deal was rocky for Sony Pictures TV and AMC. Sony TV had leverage with Netflix waiting just off stage ready to pounce on the Goodman spinoff if AMC passed, as "Breaking Bad" reruns are said to be a big draw for the Netcaster.
But AMC and Sony had differences of opinion on the time frame of AMC's negotiating window, among other conflicts that added to the tension and dragged out the negotiations. Those close to the project were frustrated at the fact that both camps were eager to get a deal done yet fought so strenuously over the smallest details.
The series finale of "Breaking Bad" will air Sept. 29 on AMC.

These were completely simple and a perfect option when you are craving mashed potatoes! I do, however, recommend not going by cooking time and instead checking to be sure that they are done. (I didn't do this and they were just a touch undercooked). I also added about 1/8 tsp of salt. They was just a touch too much liquid, but otherwise they were great!

9 Questions with Philmont
- Thursday, July 30, 2009
As a band, we strive to bring as many people to Christ through our music and our ministry [as possible]. We feel like God has given us this gift of music and songwriting, and we just hope we can use it to glorify Him and help bring some lost sheep home.
Ben: What three CDs can continually be found in the CD player of the van?
Scott: We actually don't have a CD player-just a tape player! It's janky, I know! The music all depends on the driver though. If I'm driving, you'll probably hear Motion City Soundtrack. If it's Todd's shift, we just may listen to his four-hour-long '90s mix. Justin would be playing Jimmy Eat World, and Josiah's on a Shiny Toy Guns kick! You'd never guess we all play in the same band!
Ben: What is the coolest thing you've been able to do/see as a band while touring?
Scott: The coolest thing we've done as a band is fly! For real! We made some friends in Raeford, N.C., during a show in the area, and their parents own Paraclete XP SkyVenture which is the world's largest indoor skydiving facility! They suited us all up and spent the next hour teaching us to fly. It was amazing!

Shock, disbelief and jaw drop. These are all things that describe my reaction to the DXG-125V (pictured above), a tiny waterproof camcorder that can record 720p video (h.264 encoding) and costs just $100! It will hit this July and come in red, military olive and winter camouflage. As for storage you'll have to pick up an SD card, but come on, those are so cheap it don't matter.
DXG also has plans to release the Luxe Collection, a $130 camcorder that is geared towards women, hence the funky purse like finish and pink, black and white colors. This bad girl will include a flip out 3-inch LCD, record 720p video, 2x optical zoom and capture 5mp stills.

Hood Canal Bridge closure clock gets ticking
SHINE — It is time for Hood Canal Bridge drivers to choose their May-June 2009 bridge closure "get around" option.
Numbers started whirling Monday, showing the countdown to the May-June 2009 closure when the Washington State Department of Transportation and contractor Kiewit-General installed an electronic countdown clock along SR 104 on the Kitsap County side of the bridge.
As the sign said, in 150 days, 8 hours, 6 minutes and 33 seconds, the way people get to and from the Olympic Peninsula will change for approximately six weeks. Travel options during the closure include crossing Hood Canal by using a water shuttle, transit connections and park and rides, driving around, taking a nearby car ferry or flying from Port Angeles.
"This sign is a great visual reminder to help drivers get ready for the closure," said Paula Hammond, Secretary of Transportation. "We have worked with local citizens, Jefferson, Kitsap and Clallam counties and local transit agencies to develop travel options during the upcoming closure."
WSDOT will reset the clock on May 1, 2009 and start its official six-week closure countdown, providing drivers a look at when they can cross the Hood Canal Bridge again.
The Hood Canal Bridge Project is on schedule and currently 86 percent complete. The Hood Canal Bridge retrofit and replacement project will improve the existing structure, making it wider, safer and more reliable. For more information, visit www.HoodCanalBridge.com.
