Call it a pacifier. Call it a binky. Just don't call it gone.
That's pretty much my munchkin's attitude as we approach the age when it's time to separate him from his favorite nighttime companion.
This day has been a long time in coming. Elijah, who will turn 2 next month, has had something in his month since the moment he was born. I meant this literally — the doctor delivered him with his hand in his mouth.
It wasn't long before a nurse took that tiny hand and replaced it with a bright blue binky. Contrary to what I'd read, she advised us that there's no crime in letting an orally fixated kid have a pacifier, especially if you want to get some sleep.
Fast forward to now, when a pacifier regularly eases the little guy to sleep. Of course, Elijah is convinced he can't live without it. At least, I think that's the argument he's making when he cries, screams, and calls out my name any time I try to put him to bed without one.
I've seen many kids older than Elijah walking around with pacifiers — even when they're awake — and so it's easy to wonder: What's the harm? But according to an expert quoted in Time magazine, pacifier use during these early years can lead to dental issues, speech problems, and middle-ear infections. Plus, it seems very childish, no?
My wife and I have thought about making Elijah stop cold turkey, but that would require willpower. So I started looking into other strategies.
Some people tell their kids that a fairy collects children's pacifiers and gives them to other babies in need. Actually, it seems that a lot of people try this method. There are at least two authoritative books on the subject — The Binky Fairy and Goodbye Binky: The Binky Fairy Story — and a website, www.nomorebinky.com, where your child can watch a video of the fairy.
This website offers 10 ideas to help your baby break the habit, including the suggestion of making the binky undesirable by dipping it in coffee. Normally this might have some potential, but given Elijah's mom's unnatural love for coffee, this could just be transitioning him from one addiction to another.
Perhaps the most common suggestion is to cut a hole in the pacifier, making it no fun to suck on anymore. Theoretically, this will lead children to reject the binky on their own.
My wife's strategy has been more subtle and unscientific. She slowly has been encouraging Elijah to build up a cohort of pals that he brings to bed with him. First there was Bear, a soft teddy that has been around since Day One but which received little love until recently.
Now there's a slumber party every night. Bear is joined by Mickey Mouse, Halloween Dog, Yellow Duck, Snuggle Puppy, Zebra, and Furry Red Monkey. I like to think that this will be an example of peer pressure at work, since none of his cribmates have pacifiers. More realistically, the hope is that he'll forget about the binky while he's got his arms around these little guys and finding a different sort of comfort at bedtime.
It's completely untested, but it provides a positive approach that doesn't involve lying to my son or messing with his taste buds. I just hope this works. Otherwise, I may have to start looking for adult-sized binkies.

Creating Vision Gran Turismo concept cars has become quite the habit among automakers, as they rushed to showcase their design skills and advanced powertrains in the latest iteration of the franchise. This year's Goodwood Festival of Speed brought yet another futuristic supercar to the game, this time from British-based company Aston Martin .
Dubbed DP-100 and developed in-house by a team led by Design Director Marek Reichman, the concept car highlights a brand-new approach for the company, as its engine is mounted behind the seats. The Brits have yet to build sports cars in this configuration, except for the B09/60 Le Mans prototype co-developed with Lola, and the DP-100 comes to put an end to that. At least in the virtual world.
The DP-100 joins a large batch of virtual supercars created for Gran Turismo 6 this year, and will be available for gamers to download starting July 2014. There are no production plans waiting to turn this virtual racer into a vehicle for the real world, but the DP-100 is a concept worth looking into from a design and technological point of view.
Click past the jump to read more about the Aston Martin DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo.

April 3, 1998
Given the average American eats nearly 1,500 pounds of food annually, Schnucks' donation fed approximately 2,500 St. Louisans last year.
"We are pleased to support Operation Food Search because they are an excellent organization providing safe and nutritional food to needy people in our community," said Nancy Diemer, Schnucks director of community affairs.
Schnucks' contribution enabled Operation Food Search to reach its highest annual collection total ever of $12.8 million worth of food. Operation Food Search, founded in 1981, is the largest distributor of free food in the area and distributes canned foods, surplus perishables and prepared foods to 200 emergency food pantries in 19 counties in Missouri and Illinois.
Schnucks contributes bakery, dairy, deli, frozen food, grocery and produce items from its stores that are no longer saleable for a variety of reasons. The food item might be approaching a freshness expiration date or be mislabeled or mispackaged. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report in fall 1997 that stated 96 billion pounds of food are discarded annually.
"We put a great deal of effort into being good caretakers of food," said Diemer. "No one wants to see good food wasted. Thanks to the efforts of all our associates throughout our organization, good food does not go to waste."
Schnucks also donates food from its advertising department, bakery department, corporate cafeteria, grocery warehouse, Mid States Dairy, perishable warehouse, Schnucks Kitchen and reclamation center.
Operation Food Search Director Sunny Schaefer says a $27 billion drop in available food stamps over the next five years will probably increase the number of people seeking help from pantries. Increasing numbers of people who are working but not earning enough to make ends meet also are looking to emergency food pantries for help.
"The need for food donations continues to increase. The grocery industry as a whole is very supportive and we appreciate Schnucks' outstanding support and leadership. We hope other organizations who are not already donating will do so," says Schaeffer.
Operation Food Search works with Schnucks' individual stores, facilities and departments to educate Schnucks associates on what to save and to establish pickup schedules with Operation Food Search agencies. By adding more stores to the program, Schnucks' donations increased from $2.9 million worth of groceries in 1996 to $4.1 million in 1997.
Schnucks' customers also have helped Operation Food Search reach its record total. For six weeks a year, Schnucks customers and other grocery store shoppers donate to Operation Food Search and the St. Louis Area Food Bank in the Hunger Never Takes a Vacation program held each summer. In 1997, generous Schnucks customers donated close to $40,000.
Operation Food Search pantries and agencies pass a rigorous annual certification program and receive sanitation training to ensure food safety.

How can one help prevent others from becoming misinformed?
Mark Twain once said "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed."
In my IB English Lang&Lit course, I have realized the true power and dangers of language. Nothing is 100% objective, everything has bias in it. A lot of media companies uses language to distort and falsify facts. With the uprise of technology, news (or rumors) spread like wildfire to every corner or the world. The most dangerous part is the people who believe in such news or stories, even in the most absurd of stories! In the fear of being misinformed myself, I've developed an habit of questioning every news article I read. Thinking about the logic behind it and conduct further research about it with a variety of sources.
So I was wondering what would people do help reduce the misinformation of others. Is there an example, story or activity that would allow people to see the dangers of language? Or perhaps even reduce the level of bias within people?

May 28 2013: NPR is a wonderful way to get the other side of a story.
I don't know how many times I will hear a news piece on tv, and then hear about it on the radio, and get a totally different side of the story.....making for a well rounded report.
I think that reading reader's comments is also a wonderful tool.
I will share this example: There is a site where you can go and look up any city you want to travel to. The site will give you a list of hotels, restaurants, and attractions you can visit in that city. And individually, you can read first person accounts of each of the places you may be interested in.
It would behoove anyone, wanting information "before" venturing into the unknown, to visit these types of sites.
I think technology is making it easier for people to get these kinds of first person accounts of, not only travel information, but news items as well.

Changhe Completes First S-76C++
China's Aviation Industry Corporation's (Avic) Changhe subsidiary has completed its first Sikorsky S-76C++ airframe at its plant near Shanghai. It will now be shipped to Sikorsky's Coatesville, Pa. facility for completion. Changhe will manufacture more S-76 airframes this year. Avic and Sikorsky signed an agreement in 2006 that led to the production of S-76 airframes and components for several other Sikorsky aircraft, including the tail pylons for the S-92 and airframe components and assemblies for the 300CBi.
Aero Vodochody in the Czech Republic also manufactures the S-76 airframe, including those for the S-76D, currently undergoing certification flight testing at Sikorsky's West Palm Beach, Fla. site. The third test aircraft was recently added to that program and Sikorsky is predicting certification after the middle of this year, with customer deliveries beginning next year. Sikorsky recently announced that Falcon Aviation would be the S-76D launch customer. The S-76D program was announced in 2005 and certification was originally pegged for last year.

I only started raiding in ICC. It seems I have issues with "raid awareness" and am on probation as mentioned in the article. It hurts to feel like a second class citizen; I guess that's the way it is with little to no experience. I like my guild and the people in it but maybe I do need to find something a little less hard core. Either way, its a game folks, its supposed to be fun, not a f**king job for crying out loud.

Quinoa Pilaf with Seared Scallops
From EatingWell: January/February 2014
Make whole grains the center of your dinner plate with this citrus-studded quinoa pilaf recipe topped with sweet seared sea scallops. Be sure to buy "dry" sea scallops (scallops that have not been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate, or STP). Scallops treated with STP ("wet" scallops) are higher in sodium, have a mushy texture and do not brown properly.
Makes: 4 servings, about 3 scallops & 3/4 cup salad each
Serving Size: about 3 scallops & 3/4 cup salad

- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 3 scallions, sliced, greens and whites separated
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 cup water
- 2 medium blood oranges or navel oranges
- 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds (see Tip), divided
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound dry sea scallops
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add quinoa; cook, stirring until toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice ends off oranges. With a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith; discard. Working over a large bowl, cut the orange segments from their surrounding membranes. Squeeze juice from the membranes into the bowl before discarding them, if desired. Add the scallion greens, almonds, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon coriander and salt to the bowl; gently stir to combine.
- Pat scallops dry and sprinkle both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 teaspoon coriander. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (To prevent overcooking, transfer the scallops to a plate as soon as they are done.)
- Add the quinoa to the bowl with the orange mixture and gently stir to combine. Serve the scallops over the warm quinoa salad.
Tips & Notes
- Tip: For the best flavor, toast chopped nuts or seeds: Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts or seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers pulled himself out of the NFL Pro Bowl due to his wife having a baby. He was replaced on the AFC roster by Titans QB Vince Young.
Pyro's Take:
No argument here. What Young did for the Titans once he replaced Kerry Collins was nothing short of Pro Bowl-worthy. After starting off 0-6, Young was finally inserted into the starting lineup and led the team to an 8-2 record down the stretch while just barely missing the playoffs. If there's anything that can be said about Vinsanity, it's that he's a winner, plain and simple.

Chicago, Illinois 60657-2414
Vegetarian and Vegan food in a diner setting
Restaurant, Coffee/Tea/Juice
This Chicago institution has been open since 1983. While the interior may look like a diner, the menu goes beyond this, though people looking for typical diner food, especially breakfast, won't be disappointed.
Offers an extensive line of vegan baked goods, such as cakes, cookies and famous cheesecakes in addition to their eclectic American and world food menu.

Oh. My. Goodness. I cannot say enough good things about my one-and-only experience at the Chicago Diner. Every single thing was out of this world. So much delicious vegan food!
Tony and I started with the poutine which was on special in June (I think?). If you're unfamiliar with poutine it's Canada's national dish. It's basically french fries with gravy and melted cheese. Chicago Diner did it with a pepper gravy over waffle fries. There was melted cheese and we added jalapenos, vegan bacon, and sour cream.
I had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with a side salad with vegan ranch. It was insane. After the poutine and the salad I was only able to eat a few bites of my sandwich but it was just as good (if not better) the next morning as we were getting back on the road.
Tony had the Reuben with a side of mac and cheese. I can't believe it, but I didn't even taste it. He says the Reuben was amazing and everything one would expect from a Reuben. He also says the mac and cheese was 'Okay'.
I had a strawberry shake with whipped 'cream'. Best vegan shake I've had (in five years).
The dessert menu looked absolutely insane but we didn't order anything because we were so stuffed! We thought we'd get something the next morning. And here comes my only complaint. We wanted to go in for breakfast but we were getting on the road at ten and they don't open until eleven. I was really really bummed about that. I seriously hope I get to go back, preferably sooner rather than later.

Now, to illustrate this, imagine we just found a trillion barrels 40,000 feet down. Yeah, that would awesome, right? No more peak oil, at least for a long time, right? Well, what if due to technological considerations, we could only get a few wells installed, and the max flow rate we could get from that reservoir was 100,000 barrels per day. Oh, that's it? Well, that's nice, but it doesn't really help the overall situation, where we're experiencing roughly 4,000,000 barrels per day,per year declines in existing conventional crude oil fields. That is, reservoir size and flow rates were well-correlated several decades ago, because the stuff just flowed out of the ground so easily, but now that we have to drill tens of thousands of feet to achieve a single well flow rate on the order of 100 barrels per day/per well in the shale plays, or we even have to scoop up tarry sand in giant machines and then power wash the bitumen off of it, oil just don't quite flow quite like it used to.Part 2: Conservation Not Technology will be our Saviour - Chris Martenson
There's a new relationship between reserves and flow rates, and it's a fraction of the old rate. And it's an entirely new world, and this has been missed by the less insightful analysts and commentators out there. I am optimistic about the new reserves and flows but not because I happen to think they allow us to forget about the challenges and snap back to 'how things used to be.' We're in a new regime of higher oil prices and that alone sets today well apart from the past.
We don't need any new technologies, we have everything we need right here on the shelf now to begin living a very different life. It begins with, I believe, the most fundamentally important thing we can do, conservation, at this stage.posted by notyou at 9:27 AM on December 21, 2012 [8 favorites]
If you look at a nighttime satellite photo, you can see that there are probably a few lights we could turn off and save a bit of electricity. There's technology on the shelf right now enabling homes, either residential or commercial buildings, to be built that use a fraction of the energy they currently use, just by tilting them south and putting windows on the right side and ventilating them. Very simple things like that that can be done. All we have to do is decide that we're going to use them, and that's missing still.
So, yes, I am very optimistic about technologies and processes and understandings that already exist. The mystery to me is why they are not being deployed. They make complete sense from economic, political, national security, ecological and social justice standpoints yet we don't use them at scale. That's not a technology problem, that's a narrative problem. Another way of saying that is I am very optimistic about technology but decidedly less optimistic that we will use it intelligently and rationally.
we'reDon't let economist propaganda cloud our thinking please.
producingextracting so much domestically.
Natural gas is the safest carbon based fuel we have. Count me as another lefty who thinks hydrofracking still bests coal, undersea oil drilling, and nuclear. I love solar and wind and geothermal and hydro and conservation too. But natural gas gets us there with less damage than coal for sure.I don't understand how you can say natural gas is better than nuclear, given the fact that natural gas still emits CO2 and is a much more potent (but short term) greenhouse gas itself if any of it ever leaks out.
If you are writing on an ac-powered computer while sitting in a carbon-based heated home with a gas or electric car in the driveway, decrying fossil fuels is hypocrisy.No it's not. Hypocrisy means saying one thing and doing another. No one is saying people should go without cars or heat or electricity. We are saying that electricity should come from solar or other renewables, heat should come primarily from insulation and secondarily from electricity and car should also be powered by electricity.
(some environmental and ethical/political issues in the extraction of rare earth elements used in solar-electric panels)OMG. Why do people keep saying that rare earth elements are used in solar panels? There are a few experimental types that do use some rare earth metals, but for the most part the ones that are really cheap these days are made from plain old silicon - The same element used to make computer chips. And windows. You can get it from sand, which there's no shortage of. It's one of the most common elements in the earth's crust.
wanted to be completely, pedantically factually correct in my statements. Kind of like saying "safer sex" instead of "safe sex" when referring to condom use, even though I'm pretty pro-sex-between-consenting-adults.Well, the problem is in trying to be "pedantic" and "completely correct" you ended up being less accurate. Most solar panels do not use rare earth elements. Some thin film solar panels do use rare earth elements, and for a time people thought they might end up cheaper then polysilicon PV panels. But what's happened is that the price of silicon panels has dropped really, really fast.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) irreversibly encoded. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Peter Dunkley, Technical Director at Acision, will look at how this identity problem can be solved and discuss ways to use existing web identities for real-time communication.

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehension and conference efficiency.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, will discuss single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example to explain some of these concepts including when to use different storage models.

Over the summer Gartner released its much anticipated annual Hype Cycle report and the big news is that Internet of Things has now replaced Big Data as the most hyped technology. Indeed, we're hearing more and more about this fascinating new technological paradigm. Every other IT news item seems to be about IoT and its implications on the future of digital business.

Used homemade veg broth and leftover ham bone that we had smoked...tried to cut as much fat off as possible. Cooked on the stovetop instead of slow cooker. Brought to boil, reduce to simmer and cooked for 2 hrs. Probably didn't need to cook that long, but it was still great for a rainy evening.

The FBI is currently investigating an incident that took place at the VA Medical Center in Indianapolis on Friday.
It's been reported that someone left a suspicious package at the VA Hospital which turned out to be a fake bomb.
More than 1,000 people were evacuated from the hospital.
Hospital security was informed of the suspicious package at around 8 am on Friday morning.
Bomb squad workers found the package was not explosive.
Federal agents are still investigating who left the package and why.
No one was injured but hundreds of patients experienced delays in what was a very disruptive morning at the Indianapolis VA Medical Center.

Boeing and Airbus have both arrived at the Farnborough International 2012 show under new leadership, but don't expect any cooling in the hostility between the world's top-two airliner manufacturers. The U.S. airframer is expected to draw the first blood in the orders battle today if, as is expected, Air Lease Corp. confirms an anticipated order for 50 or more of Boeing's new 737 MAX narrowbodies.
Boeing 787
A specially configured Boeing 737-800 meant to test some of the airframe maker's most promising new technologies now sits at Boeing Field in Seattle, where crews prepare to install experimental systems that could appear in service as early as 2017 on the 737 MAX.
Operators of Boeing 787s powered by the latest-standard GEnx-1Bs are promised real fuel savings over similar aircraft with competing engines, according to engine maker General Electric. The powerplants also will be more durable and remain "on wing" longer if equipped with two performance improvement packages: PIPs I and II.
Hamilton Sundstrand has ramped up its operations and supply chain to support Boeing 787 production, the company announced here on the eve of the show. It has already delivered some 85 shipsets. The 787 contains nine major Hamilton Sundstrand systems, one of them being the electric starter/generators. They start the engines and provide a total 1.5 megawatts–five times the electric power on a Boeing 767.
In addition, Hamilton Sundstrand's network of field representatives and customer response center is now providing support to 787 operators.
Norwegian Air Shuttle has selected Messier-Bugatti-Dowty wheels and electric brakes for its new Boeing 787s, the equipment manufacturer announced here at the show. Deliveries of the new airliner are scheduled to begin in 2013. The Safran company's electric brakes have been designed to reduce weight while improving service availability, simplifying maintenance and increasing durability.
Where are the great aviation clusters in the United States? Seattle? Wichita? Los Angeles? Yes, all of the above, and in Charlotte? Where?
Charlotte USA, an economic development organization representing 16 counties in both North and South Carolina, is here at the Farnborough International Airshow (Hall 2 Stand B23) to convince the world that it has the right ingredients to make it a hotbed of aerospace enterprise.
As Boeing designers work toward firm configuration of the new 737 MAX narrowbody airliner next year, improvements to the current 737 family continue apace, while program v-p and general manager Beverly Wyse oversees preparations for the next production rate break.
Rolls-Royce will not be rushing to spend the proceeds from selling its 32.5-percent equity and program shares in International Aero Engines (IAE) to Pratt & Whitney (P&W), according to civil aerospace president Mark King. The $1.5 billion cash sum will be retained for general corporate purposes, said the company, which is making a "modest" financial investment in P&W's PW1100G-JM geared turbofan (GTF) powerplant offered for the re-engined Airbus A320neo program.
Rolls-Royce was close to reaching an agreement with Boeing on the requirements for a Trent 1000-powered 787-10X just ahead of the Farnborough International Airshow. The planned new version of the Dreamliner widebody could become a formal program later this year, possibly linked to the prospective launch of an upgraded 777.
A rather brief, trying but largely proud chapter in the rich history of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) came to an end last week, when Jim Albaugh announced he would leave the company, three years before its mandatory retirement age.

As Hurricane Sandy clearly demonstrated, there is a woeful lack of redundancy in the nation's health care facilities. However, take solace in knowing there are no lack of choices in those things the advertisers convince us should matter more. For example, right now, you can purchase at least FIVE different varieties of perfume by Paris Hilton at your local mall so, even if you can no longer find a single hospital anywhere nearby, the good news is we live in a society where you'll never lack for options to smell good while you suffer in pain.

Concert review and set list: Dum Dum Girls (with the Yowl) find the groove at Off Broadway, Monday, August 6
Even as the openers took the stage shortly after the posted show time, Off Broadway was still a venue half-empty. Not that that mattered to Springfield, Mo.'s the Yowl, as the band served up its punk-influenced rock as a primer for Dum Dum Girls.
When the buzz of the Yowl's amplifiers died down, a different buzz of anticipation and slight impatience from the crowd grew over the next hour or so while waiting for the headliners.
With each member wearing black attire, Dum Dum Girls took the stage around 10 p.m. and plunged into their 17-song set with "Mine Tonight" and "He Gets Me High," shifting the ambience from idle to active. Hailing from Los Angeles, Dum Dum Girls brought the frayed, whammy-heavy guitar riffs, breathy vocals and leading bass and drum beats that make their dreamy noise pop so memorable.
Dum Dum Girls shined when they played "Bhang, Bhang, I'm a Burnout," a song that's practically made to be sung and danced along to. As guitarist and lead singer Dee Dee sang, "Are you dead? In your head?" and "I'm a burnout, you're a burnout too" the syncopated apathy seemed to connect with the audience.
The band made little time for banter in between songs, perhaps to make up for the lengthier than usual time lag between them and the openers. No matter the circumstances, once the songs got rolling no one seemed to mind the clock. Songs like "Heartbeat (Take It Away)" and "I Will Be" served as perfect opportunities for the audience to admire drummer Sandy's backbeats, which blend perfectly with bassist Malia's sweet and low bass riffs.
Standing onstage, Dee Dee's black dress and black, patterned tights contrasted with the red curtain behind her and the dreamy vocals she projected to the 120-something bobbing heads staring up at her and the rest of the band.
The girls took a few breaks from their more energized songs to play some slower tunes. "Coming Down" is hauntingly down-tempo throughout the six-and-a-half-minute length and leaves room for Dee Dee's vocals to stand out against the frazzled guitar melodies and soft bass-drum kicks. She exuded the feeling of a defeating crash: "I close my eyes to conjure up something/but it's just a faint taste in my mouth/I think I'm coming down."
Picking up the momentum and lightening the mood once again, the band churned out "Wasted Away," which, like most of the set, came off of the 2011 album, "Only in Dreams." The band did play songs from past albums, including "I Will Be" and "Jail La La" among others, making the set well-rounded in terms of discography.
After doing a splendid cover of the Pale Saints' "Sight of You," the girls came back for an encore of "Coming Down," ending their performance and, in a way, leaving the audience gently, if not reluctantly.
Set list:
Mine Tonight
He Gets Me High
I Will Be
Bhang Bhang, I'm a Burnout
Heartbeat (Take It Away)
Always Looking

Book at Bedtime, A Commonplace Killing Episode 5 of 10
Harriet Walter reads Part Five of a dark and mysterious thriller by Sian Busby.Lillian is pleasantly distracted by a well- dressed stranger, and the pathologist comes up with some new evidence.
Lillian and her young friend Evelyn (who lives rent free in Lillian's attic) have gone to a café where they meet a fat and vulgar woman called Nesta, but also a cocky young man called Dennis who calls her 'Blondie'. She notices the quality of his green jacket and his fancy tie - they make him stand out a bit. And his sneer gives him an air of contempt which gives her a queer sort of thrill.
Meanwhile DDI Cooper is becoming increasingly frustrated with the case, when a break comes along. The mackintosh they found at the murder site has been identified as a Westmoreland which Cooper knows is stocked at the exclusive Gamages department store. And the pathologist finds evidence that makes Cooper question if this woman was raped at all.
A Commonplace Killing by Sian Busby is abridged by Lauris Morgan Griffiths.
The producer is Sarah Langan.

Kitchen Before & After: A Palm Springs Kitchen Gets a Luxury Makeover
Kitchen Remodel
Keith spent a over a year remodeling his 1959 Mid-Century home in Palm Springs. A big part of the remodel was completely gutting and transforming the 1980s kitchen. The result? A gourmet kitchen with all the bells and whistles:
So stunning, right? Here's what Keith says about his home, and the incredible kitchen redesign:
We recently renovated and installed a new kitchen in a Palm Springs Mid-century home. The 1959 home was bought from the original owners and had been neglected over the years. We spent over a year remodeling and renovating the entire house, ending up with a stunning 6 bedroom, 5 bath home. (We also offer the house as a vacation rental and it's been very, very popular.)
We ripped out the existing 1980s kitchen and installed a new gourmet kitchen with ebony macassar and white lacquer cabinets, Carrara marble counters, terrazzo floors and Viking/Bosch appliances. We created working zones for prep, cook and clean, while dual sinks and dual dishwashers make cooking and clean-up a snap!
The cabinets were ready-to-assemble that we bought online and had shipped to the house. This saved us a ton of money while still giving a custom look. We used mirror back splash to bounce light and visually expand the space, and put LED strip lighting under cabinets, in the soffit and over the island.
Thanks for sharing, Keith!

nice job
That is stunning.
You know, I've never been a big fan of white cabinetry. But these cabinets just seem to melt into the walls, making the kitchen feel so much more spacious.
This is not a make-over. This is all new (and fabulous!). But it's not a make-over---which implies that at least part of something has been repurposed, and I don't see that here.
That fridge is frickin" huge!!
Wow that fridge.
I have never been a fan of marble, but that is just personal preference. I love the feel of this kitchen and layout. It goes well with the mid-century modern feel. I would die for all of that counter space too!
LOL, yeah its looks a little monstrous! Its a 36" all fridge and a 30" all freezer that are installed to look like one big fridge. Because its counter depth/built-in the interior space is not really as big as you'd think.
The first thing you think is "I'll never fill that up". Then after a couple of days with 12-14 people in the house you realize you've filled it up and are using the back-up fridge in the second kitchen.
You can never have too much fridge space or ice in Palm Springs!
It is beautiful but can't imagine renting this out. I have seen to many nasty things done to rentals. Hope you do a good job of vetting the renters. But I do love the frig and freeer.
Absolutely stunning. I just want to sit down and sip Campari-Soda ;-) What an amazing job you have done.
I was lucky enough to stay in this house for a week last month, and I have to say that in person, this kitchen is even more beautiful than in these pictures. And more importantly (to me, at least), it's thoughtfully planned and perfectly equipped -- a true joy to cook in, which is extremely rare for a vacation rental home.
*Jaw drops to the floor. Drool all over my keyboard.
Congratulations on your space! Great pool, as well.
I will echo ccp mmb... I'm fearful of your renters. I can just imagine what a spilled Campari and Soda would do to Carrara! It would just kill me, all those etches on such a pristine, modern looking kitchen.
Am I the only one who doesn't really like it? Will I sound bitter if I say the after is too fancy and cold? No, I'll say nothing bad, instead I wish you to enjoy your new kitchen made the way you dreamt.
Nice job, not sure I would like to keep a mirror back splash clean.
That's a very interesting light over the island. The kitchen was so dark before, but new lighting has made a definite improvement.
I didn't love it until I read that it was in Palm Springs. Then it all clicked, and I LOVE it.
I love the open layout and the fridge and the cabinet placement and the light feeling...I'm just not digging the juxtaposition of the wood grain and the marble together.
The marble looks nice but the wood grain seems a little too dark. But it is definitely, definitely an improvement over the old kitchen.
I thought the exact same thing.
oh, it's fantastic. The marble gives it such great visual texture.

Beauty parade could turn ugly as Galileo consortium unravels

Linklaters, Allens and Squire Sanders lead on Myanmar telecoms investment
29 July 2014
The biggest project in the European market is proving to be one massive headache for the lawyers. The Galileo satellite navigation project, designed to rival the US global positioning system (GPS) network, is a much-lauded, much-publicised pan-European operation that is meant to be the showcase of EU public and private sector cooperation.
But all it has done so far is highlight the political divisions in Europe, cause delays and bring the project's future into question.
A September deadline has been set for the commercial make-up project documentation to be finalised, but there is plenty of water yet to go under the bridge.
Eight companies make up the combined private sector consortium charged with making the Galileo project a reality. They include Aena (Spain), Alcatel (France), EADS Space Services (France/Germany), Finme-ccanica (Italy), Hispasat (Spain/Portugal), Inmarsat (UK), Thales (France) and TeleOp (Germany).
The head lawyers, each charged with protecting their respective company's interests and maximising profitability during the negotiations, include Aena's Jesus Fernandez Rodriguez, Pascal Durand-Barthez of Alcatel, Finmeccanica's Luciano Acciari, Pedro Ramón and Cajal Agüeras of Hispasat, Inmarsat's Rupert Pearce and Patrice Durand of Thales.
Inmarsat, represented by Pearce, is leading the consortium, but sources suggest that the role "is like getting two magnets of the same polarity together".
The divisions between the consortium members run deep. Three separate consortia were at one stage vying for the mandate to be the private sector backers to the project. When one consortium failed in 2005, the other two merged and the Galileo Operating Company (GOC) was born.
The GOC will take on responsibility for the financing, deployment and operational phases of the whole programme.
Of the eight GOC members, EADS, Inmarsat and Thales are known to favour Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, which was appointed by the consortium iNavSat. The Eurely consortium of Alcatel, Finmeccanica and Vinci appointed Clifford Chance.
When the two consortia merged, it was agreed that both Freshfields and Clifford Chance would go head-to-head in a beauty parade for the much-coveted role of external legal adviser.
A third consortium, Eutelsat, advised by Allen & Overy (A&O), pulled out of the running in August 2004. Two member companies, Aena and Hispasat, have made the jump into the GOC, but the move failed to open the door for A&O to compete with Freshfields and Clifford Chance.
The Lawyer understands that Freshfields was favoured following that beauty parade, but there has been no official word, and crucially no instruction, for the firm yet from the GOC as yet.
"The decision to pick legal counsel for the consortium is fraught with all the usual issues faced when eight large European companies try to come to a common decision," said a source from within the GOC following the beauty parade.
What price a fly-on-the-wall ticket for that discussion between eight leading European general counsel?
The GOC went into the first round of negotiations with its public sector counterpart, the Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU), in February without legal counsel. The GJU is a joint venture between the EU and the European Space Agency (ESA) to oversee the development phase of the Galileo programme. In contrast to the GOC, at the first trip to the negotiating table the GJU had a stacked team involving senior figures from within the EU and ESA, as well as Lovells project finance partners Charles Robson and Mike Matheou.
Privately, the GJU is worried about the GOC's apparent bickering and infighting and where that leaves the timetable for the project. The Lawyer understands that discussions have been held at the highest levels of the EU regarding the matter. Although the first stages of negotiations have now been completed and there is an agreement of principles in place, things are going to ramp up in the very near future.
"Negotiations up to this point have not been as fruitful as we would like them to be," said a GJU source. "There's a certain degree of dysfunctionality between consortium members."
Indeed, The Lawyer understands that the GOC has yet to produce a consortium agreement. And while the GOC exists in name, it has also failed to finalise the documentation making it a legal entity to negotiate.
"There's no tangible evidence that the consortium has got its act together and organised itself," said the source. "It's surprising, and very frustrating, from everyone's point of view. For the lawyers they appoint, they'll have their work cut out."
Lovells, which benefited from more bungling to swoop in and score the mandate to advise the GJU, has been on board with the public sector since the third quarter of 2004, and has been racking up the hours.
The Lawyer reported (27 September 2004) on the "farcical" situation that saw Linklaters shunted out of the role after the EU revised its procurement amount for legal services.
Linklaters has not managed to get a look back in and has been left to fight against A&O for a lender's role. Nice work if you can get it, with a swathe of banks expected to want in for the E3.3bn (£1.85bn) project.
Robson and Matheou admit that achieving the commitment between the GOC and GJU ahead of the September deadline for a heads of terms agreement is "a challenge".
"For us, we have all of May to develop the first draft of the heads of terms, which will be the subject of very detailed negotiations with the GOC in June and July," said Robson.
That leaves Pearce with a month to get his European colleagues to agree on the choice of Freshfields and bring the firm up to speed ahead of the knuckles-down horn-locking that is going to ruin its lawyers' plans for summer tans.
Freshfields, Clifford Chance and GOC members declined to comment for this article.
