Wine Spectator
"The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva shows quite a bit of warmth and spiciness in its dark red fruit. This is an attractive, mid-weight Chianti but the vintage doesn't seem to have produced fruit with enough depth to stand up to the French oak, which overpowers the wine and contributes to the dry tannins. Overall, I expected more from the 2007 Riserva. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019."

Jeffrey C. Mazanec, Special Agent in Charge of the Richmond Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Colonel David R. Hines of the Hanover County Sheriff's Office are announcing the arrest of Jeremy Evans of Carol Stream, Illinois. Evans, aka the "Ray-Bandit", is thought to be responsible for at least 17 bank robberies in seven states, including two in Virginia.
Evans was arrested by officers from the Elgin, Illinois Police Department on January 15, 2013 following the report of an armed robbery that had just occurred at the Old Second National Bank in Elgin. Evans was arrested after officers spotted and stopped a vehicle matching the description of the getaway car. In earlier robberies, the "Ray-Bandit" would pass a note indicating he had a gun and demanded money, in the California robberies a bomb threat was verbalized, and in the Elgin robbery a gun was displayed.
The FBI utilized a multi-media campaign in an effort to enhance the investigative efforts of all agencies involved. The "Ray-Bandit" was featured on the FBI.gov website, via the Unknown Bank Robbers link and a podcast, digital billboards, America's Most Wanted, and on local media. After Evans was arrested for the Elgin robbery, a tip was received indicating that Evans may be the "Ray-Bandit" and through investigative measures this has been confirmed.
Investigation is continuing to determine if Evans may be responsible for any additional unsolved robberies in other states.

From the Kitchen of Leah Stacey, Montgomery, AL
"I borrowed the recipe name from a former First Lady of Alabama who claimed her fried chicken had such powers."
Southern Living SEPTEMBER 2012
Place chicken pieces in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Whisk together buttermilk and egg until blended; pour over chicken. Cover and chill 1 to 8 hours, turning chicken after 30 minutes. Pour vegetable oil to depth of 1 1/2 inches into a cast-iron Dutch oven; heat over medium heat to 340°. Whisk together flour, salt, ground red pepper, garlic powder, and ground black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry chicken, in 2 batches, in hot oil 20 to 22 minutes or until done, turning occasionally. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Place on a wire rack in a jelly-roll pan, and keep warm in a 200° oven. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk in honey until blended. Stir in pecans; bring mixture to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Drizzle over chicken, and serve immediately.

Since sloths are my shameful secret fear, I am quite pleased to see it get fucked up.
The little known American Bear Aeronautics Program, codenamed Project Ursa, ended in bloodshed before the bears ever reached space after a project scientist forgot to tie his food to a tree. There were no survivors.
Though Monroe was actually killed only moments after this photo was taken, the Kennedys though it best to popularize the story of her death to a barbiturate overdose so as not to embroil cousin James "Grizzly" Kennedy in what they saw as an unnecessary scandal.
I guess you need opposable thumbs for real world-domination. Meanwhile, knocking will have to do.

DuPont™ Stone Care Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I keep my stone clean?
We recommend using a cleaner specially formulated for natural stone. Improperly formulated cleaners, or those with acids (such as some porcelain or tile cleaners), may etch the surface of the stone. General purpose cleaning products can damage natural stone, or the sealer applied, so don't select just any product on the shelf at the grocery store. Make sure that you select a cleaner specially formulated for natural stone care.
Can I use your products designed for stone on my other surfaces?
We do not recommend our products to be used on anything other than their intended use.
Why does my granite stain?
Granite is like any other natural stone; it can be porous, and is absorbent to some degree. Stones that have more swirls or veins tend to be more porous and absorbent. These swirls and veins show the movement of the stone's active molten history. Generally, granites with smaller crystals are more absorbent than granites that have large crystals.
Why does stone porosity differ by stone?
Stones have different porosity because of their mineral composition and geological formation. The process by which the stones were formed, and where in the world they were formed, affects the porosity of the stone.
Why should I seal my natural stone?
A protected stone, or tile and grout, will be easier to clean and resist staining. Considering the investment, why wouldn't you provide the surface with the maximum protection possible?
How can I tell if my stone has already been sealed?
Apply a drop of water at least 1/2-inch in diameter to the top of the stone and let stand for at least 15 minutes. Cover with a glass to inhibit evaporation. If the stone did not darken then your stone is probably sealed against water-based stains. Testing for oil repellency is not as simple because if your stone is not sealed, you will have an oil stain.
Is one coat of sealer enough for natural stone?
When sealing a very dense stone, one coat will be sufficient. Most stones and grout will require two coats. A few of the more absorbent stones may need additional coats to be properly sealed.
How often do I need to seal my stone?
If you sealed your stone with DuPont™ Granite & Marble Countertop Sealer and have maintained it with DuPont™ Granite & Marble Countertop Cleaner your sealer should last up to 3-5 years. Use and ongoing maintenance greatly affect sealer durability. As a result, heavily used surfaces should be sealed annually for optimal protection.
I like the specific look and feel of my countertop. Will treatment with the sealer change the look or feel of my countertop?
DuPont™ Granite & Marble Countertop Sealer provides maximum "natural look" protection. It creates an invisible barrier against water- and oil-based stains without darkening or changing the stone's appearance.

May 17, 2012 - Transcript – Anderson Cooper Attorneys General Call for Backpage.com to End Adult Services Ads -
COOPER: The most popular Internet site for escorts is called BackPage.com. And in recent weeks we've reported on growing pressure by law enforcement officials and anti-sex trafficking groups for BackPage to shut down its adult services section, the section where authorities say underage girls are sometimes sold for sex.
Minneapolis Police sergeant Grant Snyder arguably has made more Village Voice Backpage pimp arrests than any law enforcement officer in the country.
If any law enforcement agency could let us know of any officer anywhere who has made close to the number of Sergeant Snyder's arrests, we would appreciate it. Otherwise, until notified, Sergeant Snyder is the unofficial, undisputed champion of Backpage.com arrests.
The state Attorneys General investigating Backpage.com's adult services advertisements have rejected a demand by Backpage.com that the attorneys general stop asking for the site's adult services sections to be taken down.
In a recent letter, Backpage.com's general counsel, Liz McDougall indicated that the company would not agree to further conversations with attorneys general unless officials agreed in advance that they would not call for the elimination of adult ads on the site.
Backpage.com is accused of being a marketplace for pimps to peddle prostitution and exploit young women. The company says there's nothing illegal about it, though 51 attorneys general want to shut it down.

Moebius (Jean Giraud)
Moebius-Transe-Forme is the first major exhibition of the work of Jean Giraud, known by his pseudonyms Gir and Moebius. The two characterisations of the artist have different styles – Gir is the author of classic Westerns, revolving around the character Blueberry (sounds like a kids' TV character but is actually a swarthy US Army Lieutenant) and Moebius is the author of a more fantastical sci-fi universe. The scenography of the show reflects the comic strip form upstairs, while downstairs the dark twinkly atmosphere is designed to complement the artist's explorations of dreams and the mystery of existence.

What is a Cyclorama?
- A raised speaker's platform
- Type of lectern
- Platforms of varying heights used together to create a stage
The answer is c. The varying heights allow the audience to see certain actions on the stage. Depending on the event or meeting but the use of this type of set up could make an event or meeting either a success or a big failure.
While using a stage as part of your event or meeting it is important to understand stage directions. Where is down stage left?
- Left rear stage as you face the stage
- Right rear stage as you face the audience
- Left front stage as you face the audience
The answer is c. It can get complicated pretty quickly if everyone does not know the directions. Make sure all are on the same page when working with a stage or things could get really complicated quickly!

Michigan mother of 4 shoots and wounds armed intruder; handcuffs him until the police arrive
This is an incredible story, both because of how a mother protected her four children from an armed intruder and also because of the aftermath.
Here's video of the local news report:
The story doesn't end there, however. It gets crazier. After the police arrested the intruder, they found 57 marijuana plants in the basement of the home he was invading.
from MLive:
"It's movie-like, almost," Sheriff Gene Wrigglesworth said. "How often do you go to a scene and the intruder's been shot by the homeowners, and he's lying there handcuffed, ready to go?"
The woman and a man who lived at the home are going to face criminal charges, however, not because of the shooting. Police found 57 marijuana plants in the basement and several six guns that they seized.
Police are stil investigating, and the case will be turned over ultimately to the county prosecutor. Meanwhile, Wrigglesworth was not sure Thursday if the still-unnamed intruder will survive.
So now, this woman's guns have been confiscated by the police, along with her marijuana plants, and she and her husband are themselves facing charges.
There's enough here to make a libertarian's head explode!

The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
1. Weather: Please note that as a desert country, Morocco can be be cold at times. Summers - April to September are VERY HOT through out Morocco.
Winter - November to March can be cool to freezing cold - especially in the Atlas mountains, with the possibility of snow. Please bring appropriate clothing for these months.
2. Drinking water: It is advisable to drink bottled water in Morocco.
3. Depending on the lunar cycle, Ramadan will fall between July 10 to August 10, 2013. Please note that Ramadan is a month of fasting observed by Muslims throughout the world, during which time the followers of Islam should not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. There may be some limitations to services and disruptions to schedules during Ramadan, but generally our tours still operate effectively during this period and food is available to non-muslims throughout the day.
4. Discovery Adventures is operated in conjunction with G Adventures, the world leader in sustainable adventure travel. An award winning company with over 800 employees and 17 operational offices worldwide, G Adventures has 20 years experience in creating culturally interactive travel experiences. G Adventures advocates a triple bottom line business philosophy where equal attention is given to the environmental, social and economic impact of tourism to achieve long-term environmentally responsible growth whilst protecting destinations & cultural heritage for future generations.
Weather: Please note that the climate in Morocco can be both very hot during the day in summer months (up to 50°C) and cold at night in the mountains in autumn, early spring and winter (down to -6°C). Summer months, from April to September are very hot throughout Morocco. Winter months November to March can be cool to cold, especially in the Atlas Mountains, with high probability of snowfall. Most Moroccan buildings are not equipped with heating, so without proper layers you will be cold at night. Please bring appropriate clothing for the months in which you are travelling and check temperatures before you leave. Bedding is provided in the desert camp, but in winter months if you feel the cold you may wish to bring a sleeping bag too.
All Discovery Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our expert CEOs (Chief Experience Officers). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible.

CEOs are experts in their region with a broad, general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.

Your baggage should be clearly labeled and restricted to one soft compact suitcase or sports bag on wheels, maximum 15kg, plus a daypack. Luggage limits on airlines are strictly enforced and space on vehicles is limited. Porters are not often available, so be prepared to carry your own bags. It is important to pack clothes for warm days and cool evenings, as well as a warm jacket for early morning game drives. A set of smart casual clothes is also advisable.

All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE CORRECT TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION.
Most nationalities receive a free visa, valid for a period of 90 days on arrival in Morocco. There are exceptions to this (including Israeli and South African passport holders) and it is essential that you contact your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements for your nationality before departure.
The winter months in Morocco are from October to March and are characterized by cold nights and pleasant days. Summer is from April to September and starts off with moderate temperatures until mid-June when temperatures get into the 90s (Fahrenheit), returning to more moderate heat in September. However, the inland climate is very dry and high temperatures very bearable. It rains generally only in short downpour bursts in the period from the beginning of November until March.
Local Currency
The official unit of currency in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham, MAD or MDH.
Morocco uses 220V, 50Hz. and plugs are two prong rounded.
Arabic (in Moroccan dialect) and Berber are the official languages of Morocco, but French is very widely spoken, as well as English also in tourist resorts.
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
The local currency in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD).
ATMs are very common in Morocco with Cirrus and Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. .While ATMs are commonly available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work - it is important you check with your bank before departure and advisable to travel with more than one type of card.
Visa cards are the most widely accepted credit cards, but are generally only useful for larger/expensive purchases. You should be aware when purchasing products or services on a credit card, that a fee usually applies.
The foreign currency most commonly accepted in Morocco is the Euro. You will be able to exchange Euros, as well as GBP and USD at money exchange offices in major cities.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of cash (Euro/GBP or USD) and cards is best.
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Tipping is expected - though not compulsory - and shows an expression of satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $1-$2 USD per person per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture. Also at the end of each trip if you felt your Discovery Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $10-15 USD per person, per week can be used.
Your CEO will recommend different optional activities, feel free to ask him/her for more information.
Please note that prices are approximate and are quoted in Moroccan Dirham (Dh)
Traditional Hammam (steam bath) including massage – Dh 300
Moroccan 3 course dinner and folklore entertainment in a traditional restaurant overlooking the famous Djemma el Fna Square - Dh400

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes, as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that sometimes we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings for trip specific information. For travelers over 70 years a completed Medical Form is required. Discovery Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home - you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Protests and Demonstrations- Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk.
We take all prudent measures in relation to your safety. For ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling, please visit:
Like anywhere in the world, major cities have areas safer than others, use common sense, be aware of your surroundings and mind your personal belongings.
Our small group adventures bring together people of all ages. It is very important you are aware that, as a minimum, an average level of fitness and mobility' is required to undertake our easiest programs. Travellers must be able to walk without the aid of another person, climb 3-4 flights of stairs, step on and off small boats, and carry their own luggage at a minimum. Travellers with a pre-existing medical condition are required to complete a short medical questionnaire, which must be signed by their physician. This is to ensure that travellers have the necessary fitness and mobility to comfortably complete their chosen trip. While our CEOs work hard to ensure that all our travellers are catered for equally, it is not their responsibility to help individuals who cannot complete the day's activities unaided. Please refer to the physical ratings in this Trip Details document for more information.
Please note that all passengers traveling to Antarctica are required to fill out this questionnaire.
The medical questionnaire can be found online at:
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.
Through our commitment to responsible tourism we have developed the Planeterra Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of people and communities around the world through support of international charities, local organizations and community projects in the places that we visit on our tours.

Tea Time: The Quickest Way To Make a Guest Feel Welcome
Last month I had the pleasure of spending two days with my friend and colleague Faith Durand at her home in Columbus, Ohio. I landed in Columbus at the beginning of what would end up being one of the coldest weekends of the season thus far, and as I waited for Faith outside the airport terminal, the snow was just beginning to fall.
Faith and I were about to start a two-day editorial retreat. (One of the perks of this job: brainstorming fun ideas for The Kitchn!) It was mid-afternoon by the time we arrived back at her house (and still a work day), so after dropping my suitcase upstairs in the guest bedroom I set up shop in her dining room—laptop, Google reader, Twitter, posts that just went up, posts due in 15 minutes—and soon we were both in "editing and writing" mode.
After a few quiet minutes of working, and with the wind gathering strength outside, Faith declared it was time for tea. She disappeared into the kitchen and within a few moments brought out a pot of black tea and a plate of snacks, beautifully arranged: orange slices, almond biscotti, dates, and something chocolate-filled and delicious from Trader Joe's. The house was chilly (as most charming older homes are), but nothing the wool blanket I snagged from the reading chair in the living room couldn't cure.
Suddenly I realized: even though I'd only been there for an hour at most, I found myself feeling completely at home. Was it the tea? The snacks? The wool blanket wrapped around my shoulders? The accumulating snow outside? I guess true hospitality is like that: it's subtle. It's seamless. You don't realize you're getting it until after you're already comfortable.
How do you welcome guests into your home? Do you have a go-to way of making your guests feel comfortable and cozy?

I think this is really sweet. Faith seems to be such a thoughtful woman and this little tribute piece about her is very nice. What a great group!
This is sweet. I've found that as I've gotten older (and I'm not old at all) and become more comfortable in my own skin and asking for what I want (like a blanket) it's much easier to adapt and be content with where you are. Loving your job and being happy in general helps too! That said, this is a lovely touch!
This is really wonderful. Lately I've been appreciating the power of a good pot of tea, especially as a tool to connect with another person and make them feel at ease and cozy. Some recipes for tea time (including some gluten-free, please) would be really wonderful, too!
One of the ways I make people feel welcome is just letting them know where everything is and to help themselves to whatever they need, whether it's a blanket or beer. I want them to feel free to open any cupboards, etc. And it works both ways...while staying at a friend's house, I noticed that I got up much earlier than she did so I made a pot of coffee with extra for when she was ready for it.
I really like how your host offered whatever snacks she had on hand, rather than feel like she had to have the most impressive tea service around. When I think about it, I am always the most charmed by hosts who offer something unusual, like sliced oranges, or homemade chutney with crackers, whatever they happen to have.
Love it. Tea is underrated in the U.S. and simple snacks like sliced and/or dried fruit, crackers with cheese, and/or cookies are perfect with a pot of hot tea.
On my first day of sixth-form, a girl introduced herself and invited me back to her house for "tea." I was 15 and had been in the UK for a week (living with people I'd just met) and was still unfamiliar with the new lingo and customs. We ended up walking to her house where (to my surprise) we had Coke and Kit-kats.
It wasn't the 'tea' I was expecting, but being invited to someone's house and being served something small... in retrospect, was a great way to start feeling at home where I was.
Offer something yummy straight away, and for impromptu guests, invite them to stay for dinner (or lunch, depending on the time of day).
After spending a few months in the UK, it suddenly seems so ridiculous to NOT have tea time, or at least some other ritual like this.
I try to be very hospitable. Make sure they are warm or cool. Offer a blanket or turn on a fan. Offer drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or something cold if it's warm out. I want to make them comfortable. I will go to any lengths to make my guests feel welcome. I can't help it! The only downside is that usually having people over is not "relaxing" for me although I love people in our home.
"Suddenly I realized: even though I'd only been there for an hour at most, I found myself feeling completely at home. Was it the tea? The snacks? The wool blanket wrapped around my shoulders? The accumulating snow outside? I guess true hospitality is like that: it's subtle. It's seamless. You don't realize you're getting it until after you're already comfortable."
Lovely prose, perfectly describing true hospitality! It's really the quiet, natural, little things, isn't it?
I think that, maybe, it's being with someone who wants the same thing that you want at that moment. Coziness, tea, snacks, a blanket, and a creative atmosphere in a lovely vintage home is what you both cherished. It's conducive to work and kinship. I agree totally. I also agree that perhaps a beer and some boxed cheese crackers are also appropriate for someone who isn't used to a proper tea, right? My very best friend introduced me to canned oysters with saltines and hot sauce the other day and that was probably the most endearing and interesting 'tea' I'd ever had. We proceeded to drink sweet tea vodka with club soda and watch reality television. It was totally perfect and made me feel at home, even though I never do those things in my own home. It's camaraderie distilled with nuance introduced as flavor. OK, i'm rambling.
This looks so inviti g and at the same time homely too,..
I frequently invite friends over for tea instead of lunch or dinner. I normally serve dried fruit, some kind of cookies or loaf and nuts. I find that just snacking lightly and drinking tea gives you more time to pay attention to each other than when you're filling up on food :)
@Kiana. So true -- hosting a dinner party sometimes leaves you more preoccupied on the meal than on the company!

WFP is providing highly fortified biscuits to 6,000 children and pregnant women in displaced people's camps in and around the capital, Dili, to complement the government's relief rations. That number is expected to rise in the coming days.
WFP has also distributed emergency rations to women, children and in-patients in the National Hospital in Dili.
In the eastern region of Lospalos, rice and fortified biscuits will be distributed to over 1,000 displaced people in the coming two days.
WFP has re-started operations for children and new mothers in the Oecussi region in the east, where 50 metric tonnes of rice had been pre-positioned as an emergency reserve.
WFP is working closely with authorities in Timor Leste to increase food distributions to displaced people in the coming days.
Insecurity complicates operations
WFP and the government have agreed to provide food to 30,000 people in the countryside who have been affected by the recent fighting.
Plans are also being made for assistance to 1,500 families in Liquica district, west of Dili, as well as for deliveries of rice to communities affected by the fighting in Maubara, Alieu, Baucau and Atauro districts.
However, insecurity continues to make operations difficult, particularly the loading, transport and distribution of food in the capital.

Carling slams Cipriani's lack of focus
February 12, 2010
Wasps fly-half Danny Cipriani has been linked with a move the newly-formed Melbourne Rebels in Australia © Getty Images
Former England captain Will Carling has abandoned plans to manage Danny Cipriani because he believes the Wasps fly-half lacks the focus required to excel on the international stage.
Carling, who led England to three Grand Slams during the 1990s, had wanted to help the 22-year-old Cipriani get his career back on track after falling out of favour with current England manager Martin Johnson. But, after spending the last six weeks talking to Cipriani, Carling has concluded that his desire to reclaim the England No.10 jersey "is not as strong as it needs to be" and fears he could become one of English rugby's great wasted talents.
"The reason the whole concept appealed to me was that I believed here was a guy with a special talent, who desperately wanted to play for England, and maybe I could help him work things through with Wasps and England, as I know the key personnel in both camps," Carling told his website Rucku.com. "I have spent the last six weeks trying to focus Danny and, without laying the blame at anyone's door, the main reason that I have decided not to go ahead is that I do not believe that Danny's focus is on playing for England.
"That and that alone was my main motivation for getting involved with him. It is not about money and certainly not about profile, it was about helping him earn the England number 10 shirt. And, rightly or wrongly, I have concluded that his desire to earn that shirt is not as strong as I want it to be and as strong as it needs to be."
Carling consulted England manager Martin Johnson, Wasps head coach Shaun Edwards and former internationals Josh Lewsey and Matt Dawson during the process. Johnson told Carling that, despite speculation of a fall-out, he had not written Cipriani off.
The consensus of opinion Carling gathered was Cipriani is a "great talent" but with an "ability to alienate team-mates".
"I sincerely hope that it is not a talent that is never fulfilled in an England shirt but I worry that might be the case and I just hope that sometime soon Danny focuses on England and the hard work that will be necessary to earn his place in the team," added Carling.
Cipriani won his last England cap off the bench against New Zealand in the 2008 autumn internationals, since when his representative appearances have been restricted to the second-string Saxons.
Cipriani's Wasps contract expires in the summer and the club will announce next week whether he features in their plans for next season. He has been in contact with the new Super 15 franchise Melbourne Rebels, a move that would halt his international career.

Hi and Welcome to My Page
I'm a Fourth year graduate student in the Physics and Astronomy Department of University of California Riverside.I work with Professor Brian Siana.
I have been interested in looking at night sky from when I remember! The dark sky has always been exciting for me. Being an astronomy student in an awesome academic environment like UC Riverside and access to large telescopes like Hubble Space Telescope and W. M. Keck Observatory, provides an incredible situation for me to learn more and more about everything that I had dream about.

"Vagrant" by The North Sea. From the new album "Grandeur & Weakness" out now on Rubber City Noise. Video by Jeremy Bible.
The North Sea
Grandeur & Weakness
Rubber City Noise
Grandeur & Weakness is the final album from Brad Rose's The North Sea, a project that has traversed a wide range of phenomenal sound territories, and it is an sublimely uncanny farewell from one of experimental music's most ambitious names.
Rose (best known as the polymath mastermind behind Digitalis and scores of projects) oversees an assemblage of sound sources evoking the history of electric music. From synthesizer soundscapes that seek to reconcile the limits of timbre to concrete sampling and collage, G&W plays a crash course in sonic evocation. Clearly in control of The North Sea sound, Rose notes that he has "never spent more time on any solo project than on this record," and this is apparent throughout the scale of sound and emotion of G&W. There's a sense of the uncanny, a mysterious unsettling, throughout the album and this is directly attributable to G&W's aesthetic basis in Franz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth, African percussion, and progressive drone. The "psychology of colonization … and all the awfulness that entails" is viewed both literally and figuratively through an aura of uncanny unease, and this aura becomes a metaphor for both internal psychological states as well as external manifestations of oppression, despair, and release.
Grandeur & Weakness is a final album monumental to both the worldwide experimental music community (in which Rose is an essential player) as well as on a larger scale, addressing the overall human condition where heavy, ineffable emotions and essences swirl intangible and the most clairvoyant understanding comes from the act of listening.
Rubber City Noise is honored to present this limited edition vinyl release of Grandeur & Weakness with full color artwork by Tiny Little Hammers and mastering by John Twells (Type) and James Plotkin. Distribution by Experimedia.
The North Sea
Tacazze Sunbirds
Crazy Iris
An epic new missive from the ever-prolific Brad Rose under his increasingly less prolific North Sea moniker, "Tacazze Sunbird" comes to us via the somewhat mysterious Crazy Iris label (who are responsible for issuing a superlative KPLR record a couple years ago), and is unique in his repertoire as it's comprised of two side-length pieces and focuses on the harsher end of the sound spectrum. Opener "Suicide Spin" is as bleak as the title implies, with seething electronic drones set against negative space and otherworldly oscillations. "Over Under" is even more punishing and stark, with a caustic cycling tone beginning the side slowly evolving into a miasma of crumbling noise. This is the bleakest and most noise-oriented material I've heard from Brad to date, and it's also some of his strongest. Brad recently told me that he was finally putting the North Sea to bed, and if this is that project's swan song, it's one hell of an exit. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia

Q: I have goldenrod growing at the back of my garden and I'm worried about what my neighbors might say because of its bad reputation. Should I pull it out?
A: Definitely not. I too have goldenrod (solidago) growing and blooming. It is not the culprit for hay fever. The cause of hay fever is ragweed which is also growing and blooming right now. I am really fond of goldenrod and use it in floral arrangements, both fresh and dried. I also used it to naturally dye some white wool yarn I spun. It came out a really pretty golden yellow. Parents might want to try this project with their children or grandchildren. I collected my plants from a ditch line along my road. The ground was hard and I only got a little of the root, but it grew and is spreading (hopefully not too much).
Q: It has been so dry that some of my trees already are losing leaves. I know you say not to throw them in the trash. What can I do with them?
A: If you don't have many leaves, just leave them on the lawn and run over them with your mulching mower. If you have a lot, spread them between the rows of your vegetable plants, under your shrubs, in your flower beds, or put them in your compost bin. Remember, according to Doug Welsh in his Texas Garden Almanac, fallen leaves contain 50 to 80 percent of the nutrients a plant extracts from the soil and air during the growing season, so you definitely do not want to throw this free fertilizer away. If you really don't want to have anything to do with your leaves, you can bag them and take them to the Master Gardener community garden in Schertz or one of the several community gardens in Seguin. I know that many of my friends are always on the lookout for bags of leaves for their compost bins.
Q: How do I know when it is time to fertilize?
A: The rule of thumb is that when you don't need to mow for two weeks, then it is time to fertilize. In our area, it is somewhere around October 15. Going with Doug Welsh's recommendation, use a 2-1-1 or a 1-0-1 ratio. Your nitrogen should include both quick and slow release forms to encourage production of carbohydrates. (If you are like me, you want to know why the grass wants carbohydrates. Welsh says it is stored in the roots for earlier spring greening and as an energy source during winter stress.) Apply one pound of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. Remember, if you have wildflowers that come up in your lawn in the spring, you do not want to use a pre-emergent weed killer. Your wildflower seeds won't come up either.
FYI: My American beautyberry is gorgeous this year, and I am anxiously waiting for my Gulf muhly grass to send up bloom spikes.
