Not saying goodbye: I am moving away, and he just turned his back on me?
Should woman give gift to a man on first date
Question Posted Thursday August 11 2011, 11:33 pm
I'm a young 50 and he's 44. It's our first date and he's cooking dinner for me at his place. I would like to take something to him like flowers or small plant for his place. Are any of these an appropriate gift for a woman to give a man on a first date?
Thank you.

answered Friday August 12 2011, 2:12 pm:
I like DangerNerds suggestion about first date safety. People our age didn't have to worry as much about first date safety as one needs too today. Please follow his advise.
As to what is appropriate to bring as a gift. Host/Hostess gifts are always appropriate. Depending on how well you know this gentleman the gift can range from a bottle of wine to go with dinner, an offer to bring dessert or something appropriate for a hobby of his.
As Dangernerd suggested other than something to add to a hobby collection/activity, I would stay away from anything that would need constant attention. When you know him better and gift exchange becomes appropriate then you can choose more appropriate gifts.

If you are 100% certain he is ok with alcohol, then a bottle of wine is a customary gift for someone who is cooking you a nice meal. Dating or otherwise, the wine is a pretty standard gift of re-payment for the meal.
As for the flowers, well that depends on the man. If it were between flowers and plant, I would say flowers.
Would you give someone a puppy for your first date? Why not? Because it is a burden of sorts to look after it, and you can't go out of town without arranging a babysitter, right? Same with the plant.
Wine, flowers, or something for desert. Desert is tricky, if he is planning to serve you some, so you could offer to take him out for desert once the meal is complete, if that feels like the right thing to do at the time.
One unrelated note, if you will allow me: You may be an adult, but I will ask you to use the same rules you would give a teenager on a first date:
Make sure at least one person knows where you are, and any places you are aware you may be going as part of the date.
Leave his address with the people you choose to look out for you.
Set up a phone call for a given time, so someone can call and check to see how your date is going.
You may not think any of this is needed, and the odds are that you are right... however, the one time you don't do things properly is the time things go wrong. Know what I mean?
Good luck to you, and enjoy your date.
P.S. If you don't know anything about wine, it is ok to ask him what he thinks would go best with the meal.

Climate Change and Threatened Communities
This book argues that planners and researchers of climate change mitigation and adaptation must take into account the knowledge and capacity of rural people, and engage them as active participants in the design and governance of interventions, not as a matter of courtesy, but because it is their right.
Indigenous Knowledge Development in Bangladesh
Indigenous knowledge in development is one of the new approaches being pioneered: If development is to continue to involve outside mediated interventions, in the belief that foreigners have knowledge and resources that can assist in relieving the degrading poverty endured by millions, the policymakers, scientists and bureaucrats need better to appreciate the indigenous view and practices both before and while intervening locally.

I'm about to lose my fucking cool.. I need to say this one thing.. and Ima take a little break after I'm done and gather my cool back up.
PREAAAACH!Would it be appropriate for me to add that the main benefactors of affirmative action are white women? Yes/yes?
Ima White woman or man and I've been passed over for jobs/colleges because of affirmative action…..
BULL-FUCKING-SHIT!!!!! You lame excuse for a human being… name ONE motherfucking job or college that told you that they passed over you because of affirmative action!!!!???!
White people.. You can't fucking on one hand say that Black people want free shit from the government and don't want to work and also act like Black people are stealing my employment/education opportunities!! It's completely contradictory and on top of it all, it's bullshit! Pure, simple bullshit.
And, I'm sorry to curse this much, but that's the only word to describe it. Utter bullshit. You're full of shit and it's leaking out and spilling everywhere.
You live in a shit-ful dream world. Here's reality:
And you want to talk about discrimination? Talk about this shit….
- "Are Emily and Brendan More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal?: A Field Experiment on Labor Market Discrimination"
Study which found that "White names elicit about 50% more callbacks than African-American names" with the same credentials. And even when the credentials were made better on the Black resumes, it didn't significantly improve the callback rate.
This study sought to understand how the mass incarceration of Blacks effected Black employment. What they found was that "Blacks with criminal records are less than half as likely to receive consideration by employers, relative to their White counterparts with criminal records. The study also found that even Blacks with no criminal record were least likely to be employed than Whites with prior felony convictions.Based on 78 interviews with White employers in Atlanta, this study reveals that many White employers use a complex but widely shared stereotype of Black working-class women as single mothers to typify members of this group in order to explain their lack of Black women in their workplaces.
- Pew Research: Blacks and Hispanics Laid off/Fired at Double the Rate of Whites (2008)
- Economic Mobility of Black and White FamiliesBlack children are less likely to be able to maximize the wealth of their parents.Not even a college degree helps Blacks with employment during the recession.This is a compilation of random studies about the discrimination practices of White employers, compiled by the Clinton administration. Here's the full report.Talk about stealing opportunities?….. FUCK YOU you privileged slime. You think you're so fucking great so everyone must want something from you. But, I don't want a damn thing that you have because obviously everything that you have hasn't benefited you at all since you're completely self unaware and totally ignorant of the world around you.So, just to reiterate… fuck you and fuck every person on this planet who cries these White and empty tears.
Don't you just love that white women don't realize they've been the primary beneficiaries of Affirmative Action! But yeah, that's cool heux, just burn down the ladder once you and yours have reached the top. smh.
I also love the logic that assumes if ANY POC got into a job or a school it was THIS PARTICULAR white person who got passed over.
Because if:
3000 people applied
2600 of them were white
500 people got accepted
15 of those people were POC
"BUT OMG I SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN ONE OF THOSE 15 SPACES, because clearly I'm better than the other 2,114 other white people who didn't make it and ALL 400 POC who regardless of whether they made it or not."
If the only reason you can imagine POC getting into school, or a job, is affirmative action, maybe you need to consider cutting your subscription to Mein Kampf magazine for a few months or something.
White narcissism is a HELL OF A DRUG.

George Zimmerman, the man acquitted in the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin will step in the ring for a Celebrity Boxing match and is looking for an opponent. In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com he says it's a hobby he had "prior to the incident." "It was my idea," Zimmerman, 30, says of the match that will be run by the event's founder, Damon Feldman. "Prior to the incident I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss and a mutual friend put me in contact with Damon and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out." While Zimmerman didn't confirm or deny if he was getting paid to put on the boxing gloves, he did tell Radar that some of the proceeds will go to a charity. The March 1, 2014 match, which will air only online and Pay Per View, is still searching for a Zimmerman opponent. "I don't have a preference [on opponent] as long as it goes to charity, doesn't matter to me. Hopefully someone that won't hurt me too bad!" Zimmerman said, but after thinking about it a minute told Radar, "If I had my top three I'd say Papa Smurf, the Easter Bunny and maybe the Michelin Man." Zimmerman tells Radar he wants a good fight, but will he return to the ring if he loses? "Obviously if I get my butt kicked around, then no!" he said. Those interested in entering the ring with Zimmerman should email firstname.lastname@example.com.

On Monday, the Mid-American Conference named Northern Illinois running back Cameron Stingily its West Division Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Huskies' 38-24 win at Kent State on Saturday.
Stingily rushed 37 times for 266 yards and two touchdowns against the Golden Flashes' defense.
"I thought my teammates were lying," Stingily said after the game. "It's my birthday, so I wanted to celebrate with a win and play as best as I could. I wasn't expecting to touch the ball that much, and I couldn't imagine gaining over 260 yards."
In five games this season, Stingily has rushed 98 times for 576 yards and five scores.
"He's a good running back," Kent State coach Paul Haynes said after the game. "He's a big guy. The thing that makes them so effective running the ball is that you've got to account for the quarterback, and when you compensate for one guy and you've got great wide receivers on the outside, that's why they've got a good offense. They've got so many playmakers to get it done."
No. 23 Northern Illinois (5-0, 1-0 MAC) hosts Akron for its homecoming game at 5 p.m. Saturday at Huskie Stadium. ESPN3 will broadcast the game.

Editor's Note: This years elections are very important and there is a lot of competition for spots on the party tickets. It is very important to get a full picture of who is running. Susan Bruce originally wrote this editorial for the Conway Sun Times, and she has granted us permission to republish it here. If you like this post, you can also follow Susan on here own blog "SUSAN THE BRUCE," which is very straight forward and edgy.
Most of all, do not forget to Vote tomorrow!
Know Your Candidates
By Susan Bruce.
The midterm primary elections are coming up on September 9. In a state where most of the media skews to the right, getting an accurate picture of candidates can be challenging. One must go beyond the conventional (newspaper and TV) sources and dig a little deeper. Candidate research is crucial in order to avoid electing people who will be a huge embarrassment right out of the gate. With a 400 member House, there will be others who will require more time to maximize their embarrassment potential.
The highest profile primary contest is for the GOP nominee for US Senate. The winner will go on to face popular Senator Jeanne Shaheen in November. The three top candidates are Scott Brown, Jim Rubens, and Bob Smith. Brown and Smith are both former US Senators, Smith from NH and Brown from MA. Brown's campaign has been strange. In Colebrook he knocked on the doors of supporters and called that "campaigning." In N. Conway he ran away from a reporter and hid in the bathroom. Days ago on the radio in Massachusetts, he urged folks to come to NH and use our same day registration policy to vote for him. He has a lot of money, the party establishment has lined up behind him, and he looks pretty. Will that carry the day?
Rubens is a Dartmouth grad who has made a boatload of money. He once had a public blog called oversuccess.com. When some of the content from that blog went public, the blog went private. No longer can we peons read about the perils of being wealthy: "I have bathed in camera light during press conferences, political opponents skulking in the rear of ballrooms, forced to tolerate my applause lines, sycophants and well-wishers beaming and waiting in line to shake my hand or offer their help." Rubens also ran afoul on that same blog by suggesting that the increasing number of women in the workplace has resulted in mass shootings. The implication being, of course, that those women are taking men's jobs away from them. Rubens signed on to the campaign finance reform bandwagon and won the support of Lawrence Lessig and his MayDay PAC. He's also jumped on the libertea bandwagon, and has attempted to be photographed in every gun store in NH.
Former Senator Bob Smith lost his bad toupee in Florida. He may have updated his hair, but not his ideology. Smith is working overtime to appeal to the farthest right fringe, but they seem more interested in Rubens. He's unlikely to do well in the primary.
In the GOP primary for governor, the contest comes down to Walt Havenstein and Andrew Hemingway. Havenstein was the CEO at BAE Systems. BAE is a defense contractor. Walt boasts about the jobs he created there. He may have hired people, but those jobs were actually created by US taxpayers. The obscene US military spending is made possible by folks like you and me. Without the public teat to suckle from, Walt wouldn't have been hiring.
Havenstein also entered the race with some confusion about his residency. He claimed that he's always lived in NH, but he signed a homestead deduction in Maryland that stipulated he lived there in order to save a few thousand a year. The NH ballot commission ruled that he is a NH resident, and Maryland sent him a bill for the tax money he defrauded them for. He's "considering" whether or not to pay it, a luxury not available to the rest of us.
Andrew Hemingway is the darling of the libertea crowd. A look at his website reveals he's promoting the same old "solutions" that have been failing NH for decades. Neither Havenstein nor Hemingway mentions the word "infrastructure" on their campaign websites.
In Congressional District 1, the race comes down to former Congressman Frank Guinta and former Dean of the former Whittemore School of Business at UNH, now renamed the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics.
Frank Guinta slid into Congress during the red tide of 2010. He stayed for one term. Guinta "found" a bank account that provided his campaign with a $350,000 infusion of cash in 2010. That "find" didn't match up with his income. The FEC investigation appears to be moving at the speed of the tectonic plates. Frank also distinguished himself by campaigning loudly about Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter's alleged abuses of the Congressional franking system. In 2011, he spent more on franked mail than any other Congressperson. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) rated him one of the most corrupt legislators.
Dan Innis became the Dean of the business school at UNH in 2007. In 2008, the business school received a big wad of cash ($25 million) from alumnus Peter T. Paul. The school built what his now known as the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics. Peter T. Paul amassed a fortune selling subprime mortgages, and later devising ways to package and sell mortgage debt to investors – a practice that has been cited as a key factor in the economic meltdown of 2008. In 2013, Innis stepped down from his position as Dean to explore a run for Congress. In 2014, Peter T. Paul created a Super Pac to help his friend Dan Innis beat Guinta in the primary. If Innis gets to Washington what kind of regulatory oversight will he be providing? Will he protect voters or his benefactor?
This is why it's important to know the candidates. Do they already have a record of corruption? Where do their loyalties lie? Are they bought and paid for?
On the local level, we'll also be electing House and Senate candidates, and various county positions. Last biennium, the House and Senate were both filled with rabid ideologues and obstructionists who did their best to subvert the process. Anyone who tells you that cutting taxes and eliminating regulations is the key to job growth in NH is lying. NH has failed for decades to invest in our state and the results of that failure are now hobbling our economy. The GOP inability to be honest about that is a shameful and deliberate failure.
In order for the NH legislature to accomplish anything, there has to be some bipartisan cooperation and compromise. Electing people who claim government is bad and broken leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's up to voters to decide whether they want to elect serious people who are interested in working to fix some of NH's very real problems, or if they want bellicose obstructionists trumpeting the usual slogans.
* * *
This was written as my regular column in the Conway Daily Sun newspaper, in NH's First Congressional District, which is why I didn't include the CD 2 race.
I've been encouraged to add in information about the GOP primary in CD 2, to determine who will run against Congresswoman Ann Kuster.
There are 3 Republicans in the race.
Marilinda Garcia is a former state representative. She was one of former Speaker Bill O'Brien's acolytes. She's also distinguished herself by being heavily funded by the Koch brothers. A young attractive woman with a Latino surname who espouses the beliefs of the far right libertea fringe doesn't come along every day for the GOP. She wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with the same GOP plan that has failed us all for decades – the marketplace! She mentions Bowles Simpson which is a coy way of saying she wants to privatize Social Security. She wants to cut gummint spending.
Garcia's inexperience showed at the debate last week when she refused to shake opponent Gary Lambert's hand, because he "lied about her positions." Time to toughen up Buttercup. This isn't the 400 member NH House, this is hardball.
She's also made the classic rookie mistake of airing all this on her campaign blog. Repeating what he's said in his ads is giving him double the advertisement space. Former Rep. Garcia is not ready for prime time.
Gary Lambert wants to force women to serve as involuntary incubators, secure our borders, repeal Obama care, and give us MOAR GUNZ! He has a Wake Up Washington Pledge on his campaign website, full of promises of term limits and not taking a pension or a pay raise! Funny how these guys who claim to hate career politicians are desperate to become career politicians.
Jim Lawrence promises to Win Back NH for NH. He's going to repeal Obamacare and replace it with the same old market "solutions." He's going to secure our border! He's going to fix the IRS! He's going to give us a strong foreign policy! He's going to prevent NH from having wind turbines! He's going to eliminate regulations and give everyone MOAR GUNZ!
Three far right fringe candidates with no new ideas. Welcome to today's GOP.

As they introduced former Huskers' and Chiefs' great Will Shields at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln this past Saturday night, I stood up and cheered. Not that I have liked any particular Husker, but I had to pay my respects to a great person and a great athlete. As I looked up and cheered I noticed an interesting sign in the background. A sign that said "The Power of Red."
The Power of Red?
My immediate thought that evening as my Tigers humiliated the Huskers was that this phrase was a misnomer. This was further confirmed on Sunday with the complete and utter humiliation of the Chiefs.
OH MY the mighty have fallen!!!! Teams like the Raiders now invade Arrowhead and run roughshod over the Chiefs. A Mizzou team which had never really even been competitive in Lincoln over the decades rolls into Nebraska and pummels the Huskers. How does this happen?
It all goes back to Will Shields. Yes, Will Shields. You see, Nebraska lacks its usual dominating line, led by the likes of Shields, Dave Remmington, etc. All much in the same way the Chiefs lack quality lineman like Shields, Willie Roaf, John Alt, Tim Grunhardt, etc. Whether you like it or not, it all starts up front. Why can Larry Johnson rip off 200 yards one week and run for a paltry seven the next? Poor line play. Why are our QB's terrified in the pocket, especially gun-shy Damon Huard? Poor protection by the line.
To further emphasize this point look at the game Saturday. Chase Daniel had time to make and eat a sandwich, while Derrick Washington had gaping holes in amassing his 139 yards on 14 carries. On the other hand, Joe Ganz was forced to roll out to buy time, while the Husker backs only totaled only 79 yards on 35 carries. The end result, well, we all saw the scoreboard. Unfortunately, we can't really evaluate any QB accurately with such miserable line play. It's no surprise that Damon and LJ can't get it going back there, because even Dan Marino and Jim Brown couldn't make it happen behind this patchwork line.
Lost in the afterglow of these disasters were two coaches with markedly different responses. Bo Pelini's response was "Its my fault–I DIDN'T DO A GOOD ENOUGH JOB IN COACHING." Herm Edward's response was "I can't explain it–I will have to look at the film."
Such is the state of the Power of Red.

What's New? Farm Building!
Our staff are hard at work on building projects for both of our farms. At the Bladensburg farm, we have completed some essential water line installation, ground preparation and placed a new container on the site for a secondary kitchen and food prep area. We are currently constructing the roof between the tool shed/kitchen shed complex. We've also created temporary kitchen setup using our new trailer and tent space for the Summer Youth Program Students. All this, and creating more beds for healthy food growing at the farm.
To view a gallery of photos, click here.
Farm Planning
With the recent passage of the Prince George's County text amendment allowing urban farming in residential areas, ECO is now going full steam ahead in the building of its farm in Bladensburg. We've recently completed an initial site plan for physical elements of the farm and finalized crop planning which will allow local residents access to fresh food from the farm through a planned market stand and farm share. Critical design services were provided by The Neighborhood Design Center.
Additional components include worm composting area, two hoophouses, a nursery, a produce cleaning station, and an outdoor kitchen/community gathering space. Construction of these amenities is made possible through a grant from the Prince George's County Redevelopment Authority.
On the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, the farm is open to volunteering. Show up ready to work and connect with others around food.
For more details, visit our Volunteering page. Check out our Volunteer Flyer at right!
Farm Stand!
We have fresh locally grown produce every Satuday morning from 9-12 at our Bladensburg farm stand at 6100 Emerson Street, Bladensburg, MD. Stand open from June to October. You can also pick up a Eat Local Farm Share there.

James Phillip McAuley
Biography of James Phillip McAuley
James Phillip McAuley was an Australian academic, poet, journalist, literary critic and a prominent convert to Roman Catholicism.
Life and career
McAuley was born in Lakemba, a suburb of Sydney. He was educated at Fort Street High School and then attended Sydney University where he majored in English, Latin and philosophy. In 1937 he edited Hermes, the annual literary journal of the University of Sydney Union, in which many of his early poems were published until 1941.
He began his life as an Anglican and was sometime organist and choirmaster at Holy Trinity Church, Dulwich Hill in Sydney. McAuley lost his Christian faith as a younger man.
In 1943 McAuley was commissioned as a lieutenant in the militia for the Australian Army, and served in Melbourne (DORCA) and Canberra. After the war he also spent time in New Guinea, which he regarded as his second "spiritual home".
McAuley came to prominence in the wake of the 1945 Ern Malley hoax. With fellow poet, Harold Stewart, McAuley concocted sixteen nonsense poems in a pseudo-experimental modernist style. These were then sent to the young editor of the literary magazine Angry Penguins, Max Harris. The poems were raced to publication by Harris and Australia's most celebrated literary hoax was set in motion.
In 1952 he converted to Roman Catholicism, the faith his own father had abandoned. This was in the parish of St Charles at Ryde. He was later introduced to Australian musician Richard Connolly by a priest, Ted Kennedy, at the Holy Spirit parish at North Ryde and the two subsequently collaborated to produce between them the most significant collection of Australian Catholic hymnody to date, titled "Hymns for the Year of Grace". Connolly was McAuley's sponsor for his confirmation into the Roman Catholic Church. In his undergraduate years McAuley was influenced by both communism and anarchism, but although a man of the left, McAuley remained staunchly anti-communist throughout his later life. In 1956 he and Richard Krygier founded the literary and cultural journal, Quadrant and was chief editor until 1963. From 1961 he was professor of English at the University of Tasmania.
A portrait of McAuley by Jack Carington Smith won the 1963 Archibald prize.
James McAuley died of cancer in 1976, at the age of 59, in Hobart.

Durer: Innsbruck, 1495
I had often, cowled in the slumbrous heavy air,
Closed my inanimate lids to find it real,
As I knew it would be, the colourful spires
And painted roofs, the high snows glimpsed at the back
All reversed in the quiet reflecting waters –
Not knowing than that Durer perceived it too.
Now I find that once more I have shrunk
To an interloper, robber of dead men's dreams,
I had read in books that art is not easy

- The Real Housewives of New Jersey Dina Calls Out Melissa Special Time Sunday 9/8c
I have had the pleasure of spending time with Rachel's family and they are all really terrific people. I met her sister Pamela a couple of weeks after I started working for Rachel. Pamela is amazing - she has an infectious laugh, she is an incredible mom to her two kids, and she's very supportive of Rachel. I could see right off the bat how close they are and how much they rely on each other. I think Pamela really helps to keep Rachel grounded in the same way that Rodger does. I also had the pleasure of going out with Pamela at the after party for the Webby awards in NY, and let me tell you, girl can dance. We had sooo much fun!
Rachel's father is the epitome of a gentleman. He is amazingly sophisticated and impeccably dressed at all times. I would say his signature is a pocket square - he is never with out one. And Rachel's mother (who you do not get to see in this episode) is divine - elegance and grace personified. I believe that she is Rachel's style icon. The vintage costume jewelry she has would make your head spin. But aside from appearances and style, it is obvious that their sense of family and their love for each other is so strong. Not a day goes by that her parents or her sister or her nieces and nephew don't call to check in on her or just to say they love her.

Nuclear fusion has always been the dream of scientists as an ideal energy source, but has so far been elusive after many decades of work. However, two days ago, Lockheed Martin reported that it would have successful nuclear fusion available in a small-sized unit platform about ten years from now.
• Skunk Works Compact Fusion Site at Lockheed Martin
• Reuters Article on Scientific American: Lockheed Claims Breakthrough on Fusion Energy
• Forbes: Lockheed Martin Claims Fusion Breakthrough That Could Change World Forever
If this is true it will change the world as we know it. On the other hand, claims of fusion have always existed somewhere off in the distant future. Is this time any different? We don't know, but it's worth considering how it could change the world if this announcement becomes the real deal.
Here are twelve likelihood's.
1. Desalinated water would become cheap. The deserts of the world could become the farm regions for the world – if located near the sea. Warm regions could grow food year-round. Water woes would be mostly forgotten about and more people could locate in climates which are desirable but currently restricted by water supply. California's water woes would be gone. So would the Middle East's.
2. This would be a totally disruptive technology. We would no longer need the grid and would instead have distributed power. Transportation would go fuel cell, electric, and hybrid. We'd have much less need for today's fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas and could greatly reduce human induced CO2 emissions. We wouldn't need wind generators, either. Some solar photovoltaic might still be useful. Buildings which are heated with natural gas could be heated with electricity instead. Air conditioning and refrigeration would become cheap.
3. There would be no need for biofuels. Ships would be powered with fusion units. There is speculation that we could have unlimited flight time for airplanes, too.
4. Regions which are currently being farmed could be returned to the wild.
5. Urbanization could continue with much greater confidence. Today's ideas of city greenhouses and hydroponic growing centers would be far more feasible with cheap available water and energy, especially along the coastlines.
6. Farms would continue to industrialize, but in modern technical ways, as opposed to today's political-corporate ways. Tractors and combines would be powered by fuel cells. Fusion could be the energy source for producing nitrogen fertilizer.
7. Most of the developing world could advance far more rapidly if fusion becomes available. Computers, robots and technology would continue to advance at an unprecedented pace. Medical advances and longevity advances would be included.
8. Leisure time for humans would become a greater reality. Some economists already believe that it will become necessary to pay people to "exist" because jobs are not available as we become more efficient, as we use more and more robots, and as computers and communications continue to eliminate jobs. We'd need even fewer people to produce food and basic goods. New models would be needed which would pay people to be artists and service workers and other types of meaningful contributors to society. Economies should do well if cheap energy is available reliably since expensive energy is akin to a tax on industrialized nations, though they'd need to adjust to this disruption.
9. Population would continue to grow and grow with fewer limits to growth. Would we finally have the political will to place a value on the natural world and on biodiversity? Would pollution become our greatest problem, then, or could fusion help us to get rid of pollution? Perhaps it could.
10. We wouldn't need hydropower anymore, so rivers could be undammed.
11. Perhaps every region or nation could become food secure.
12. Increased globalization: The world would become even smaller. So might the Universe. There would be a greater chance for peace. So be it.
What DO YOU think would happen?

Yes, I'm aware that this is Joe Flacco's third season taking the Baltimore Ravens to the NFL playoffs. Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs was the first time though that Joe Flacco had a big hand in winning the game. Joe threw for over 250 yards and two touchdowns helping the Ravens defeat the Chiefs 30-7. He found Todd Heap 10 times. Helped Anquan Boldin reappear in the offense, and also threw a nice checkdown TD to Ray Rice. If only he could find a way to get Donte Stallworth some touches. Unfortunately, Flacco is just a good NFL QB not a miracle worker

This morning I collected my solar plates and prints, which had been beautifully wrapped for me by Craig. The wrapping is a work of art in itself!
Unfortunately I have found that scanning the prints takes so much away from their quality in real life. Their pixellated quality is emphasised far too much by the scrutiny of the scanner, so I am trying to find a way to represent them here, on my blog, whilst still conveying their real-life charm.

Developing an Ethical Code of ConductWhy Labs Should Seek Solutions from Big Business
By Sarah Watts-Justice, MHA, MPA
In healthcare settings, conflict often exists between business and patient needs. Clinical laboratories are no different. When labs put profits ahead of patient safety, quality and efficiency are frequently put in jeopardy. This is unfortunate, as well as unnecessary. But laboratorians can learn to avoid this pitfall by looking for examples in other types of businesses.
Where can laboratorians find some good examples of patient/business conflicts? The biotech and pharmaceutical industries provide some examples of what not to do—putting business profits before patient needs. Examples include marketing the use of drugs for off-label purposes, misleading doctors and the public about safety concerns for certain drugs, and falsifying evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of drugs. The healthcare system ends up bearing the financial burden for these actions, while patients suffer the consequences of inappropriate and excessive therapies.
Similar examples of questionable behavior are seen in some diagnostic services in hospitals. For example, large medical studies have not proven computed tomography angiograms to be better than older or cheaper tests that expose patients to large doses of radiation. Yet these tests have made their way into everyday medicine thanks in part to heavy lobbying by cardiologists and radiologists.
Other examples of business/patient conflicts come straight from the lab. Most clinical labs manage their send out tests and associated costs, but they do not aggressively manage the use of tests that are highly profitable, even if there is indication that the test is being overused. Some labs promote proprietary tests and panels that have not undergone adequate clinical validation. In some cases, the local lab benefits financially, but in other instances the lab is producing a profit for the license holder.
Promoting Ethical Business Behaviors
What can the clinical laboratory industry do to promote ethical business behaviors? To begin with, laboratory professionals could learn some valuable lessons from companies and institutions outside of the healthcare industry. Many companies now embrace societal goals and long-term sustainability strategies without hurting the bottom line (See Box, below). Not only have these companies realized that putting consumers' needs first can be good for the bottom line, but they also are leading the way towards achieving a strategic balance among ethical, social, environmental, and commercial goals. Once considered to be detrimental to the bottom line, many companies today consider such goals essential to long-term survival of the business. With a little innovation, incorporating these types of goals into a business also can help the bottom line.
Examples of Business Practices from Other Industries
These companies have shown that foregoing certain short-term opportunities and profits in exchange for larger societal goals and long-term sustainability can be done without hurting the bottom line.
Nestlé—Invested in local farmers by sharing new farming practices, guaranteeing bank loans, and helping secure inputs, which ultimately increased quality production, decreased environmental impact, insured Nestlé's long-term supply, and improved the lives of many farmers.
Patagonia—Created the Common Threads Garment Recycling Program, a partnership with the Teijin Company, that recycles certain Patagonia clothing into second-generation polyester fibers that Patagonia then reuses in the following season's clothing. Patagonia's energy costs to recycle the materials are 76% below those for virgin sourcing.
iTunes, Kindle, and Google Scholar—Created profitable distribution models that also dramatically reduce paper and plastic usage.
Chiquita—Forged a partnership with the Rainforest Alliance to develop sustainability standards for rain forest banana farms. By implementing these standards, Chiquita increased farm productivity by 27% and reduced costs by 12%. In addition, the company also improved employee satisfaction and, in 2004, received the Trust for the Americas Corporate Citizen of the Americas Award.
Hyundai—Experienced quality problems in the late 1990s but made a comeback by re-engineering its cars for long-term value and offered an unprecedented 10-year car warranty. Three years later, Hyundai had quadrupled sales in the U.S. and was able to enter the luxury car market.
Verizon—Developed a phone and calling plan specifically designed to meet the needs of seniors and the disabled. The company sold 400,000 of the new phones and doubled senior customers' wireless spending.
Nike—Redesigned its shoes so that they were free of harmful chemicals instead of requiring overseas workers to wear facial masks. Nike also has increased the number of shoes that contain recycled material.
Take, for example, the retail giant Walmart. This company may seem an unlikely model given some of the bad press it receives, but Walmart has recently emerged as a leader in green supply chain movements. During the past few years, the company has launched a variety of initiatives that promote green-friendly corporate practices. Walmart established tough new rules for reducing suppliers' waste by trimming packaging 5% from 2008–2013. This move is estimated to generate $12 billion in savings across the retailer's global supply chain.
Walmart also created a worldwide sustainable product index for its suppliers, which measures product-related energy use and waste and evaluates impact on natural resources and communities. If companies do not adjust their supply chains and operations, they face losing Walmart as a distributor of their products. The Fishin' Company quickly adopted Walmart's standards and in doing so won unprecedented purchase orders and long-term contracts.
Starting Out
One area that could produce an immediate return for clinical labs and other parts of healthcare institutions is the bidding process. When a hospital, lab, or other entity participating in healthcare services goes out to bid for suppliers or vendors, incorporating a set of standards in the bidding proposal process based on your values represents just one way to influence positive change. Implementing this process puts pressure on other entities to be accountable and work towards your standards. Furthermore, holding current and potential vendors accountable for more than just their prices is one way of assuring that an organization is equally interested in producing valuable services and products to patients and generating profits for its shareholders.
By adhering to an ethical code of conduct (See Box, left), clinical labs can internally prioritize their values, welcome innovation, and change to better meet the needs of their patients.

In that case, though it's not a period recipe, I'd probably just sear it with a sesame seed crust. You can make a marinade for the tuna out of soy, and rice wine vinegar. then take the fish out of the marinade after a few minutes and crust it with the seeds.

My thought was that you could freeze it at home, keep it in a place in a cooler that doesn't get opened very often. If you freeze an entire loin it'll probably have enough mass to stay frozen for several days. Hope this helps... Kiri

The Home Duvet Cover is now starring in the UK's Big Brother house.
The Big Brother house mates will sleep under these high quality duvet covers featuring a photographic print of a cardboard box.
Part of the proceeds are donated to the Big Issue, the charity that helps homeless and vulnerably housed people.
Our fabulous Leitmotiv's Milkbottle chandeliers are going to be featured in ITV2's Models, Misfits & Mayhem.
The program starts this Tuesday, it is on from 22.00-23.00 on ITV2.
We're chuffed to bits our chandeliers are going to be 'famous'.
I am not the tidiest person in the world, much to the frustration of Mr Venka.
However, I think this clever felted magazine bag will be my saviour! It is roomy enough to keep all those loose magazine that are lying around the house in it, there will even be space left for any small items cluttering up the dining table. Now if I can only convince Ms Venka Junior to tidy up after herself (wonder where she gets that from - ah)
Some emergencies call for an instant chocolate treat. On those rare occassions I can't find any chocolate in the house, I rustle up this Cheat Chocolate Treat.
It takes about 4 minutes to make.
Serves 1
You need
2 table spoons of plain flour
2 table spoons of sugar
1 table spoon of unsweetened cocoa
1 table spoon of vegetable oil
1 table spoon of water
Pinch of salt
Very small splash of vanilla essence (I use a smear of vanilla paste)
This is how you make it
1. Place all ingredients in a pretty mug.
2. Stir thoroughly.
3. Put in microwave and set to somewhere between 1 and 2 minutes at highest heat.
This depends on your microwave - My chocolate treat is perfect at 1 minute 40 seconds
I am a tiny bit in love with the fabulous Karlsson Woodpecker clock.
Stylish, witty and whimsical, it is bound to cheer you up on a rainy day like this.
I can see it hanging in my kitchen, after I finish painting it that is.
I am still torn what colour to pick, my builders had a great laugh at the patchwork of sample colours on the kitchen wall when they installed the new units.
I quite like this Dulux colour scheme the Orchid Opera is a gorgeous pinky off-white which would look great with some fabulous bright green and pink accent colours.
It seems a bit frivolous to write about things pretty and new when people have died in the recent riots. The UK spirit has been very uplifting though, with people from all walks of life, ages and religions mucking in to protect communities, cleaning up the streets and giving out tea to the police who have been on 12 hours shifts.
So if you see any police, fireman or ambulance staff out on the streets doing their job under very difficult circumstances, ask them if they would like a nice cup of tea. It shows appreciation, solidarity and above all humanity.
Make Tea, Not War.
The last few days have been incredibly scary due to the riots.
Yesterday we had to evacuate our offices on order of the police, if you tried to telephone us, sorry!
I love London and I think London Rocks. Why? Because there is an incredible spirit, Londoners took to the street armed with brooms and buckets and helped clean up. The same spirit that was there the day after the London bombings, the spirit that says' You may scare us but you will not beat us'.
I am very excited to find out the Dutch Gazelle bikes are now available in the UK.
I LOVE this bike with its simple lines, I like the splashes of orange and the 3 or 7 gears which are perfect for hilly Greenwich. The only thing that is missing is a basket at the front to put your shopping in.
I wonder if they need a certain Dutch girl (hint,hint) to 'test-ride' it. I can ride a bike Amsterdam-style, dressed in a skirt and high heels, with an umbrella in one hand whilst steering with two kids in bike seats and a load of grocery shopping in bags.
I feel home sick, I miss my beautiful home town Amsterdam, the cycling, the canals, the people, my loved ones and liquorice. I love living in London, there is just something incredibly romantic and dreamy about Amsterdam.
Maybe I should get some of these gorgeous print made by Miss Laura to cheer myself up. The fact that she is an English lady now living in Amsterdam seems strangely appropiate.

Smart Uses for Smart Cards
Tim McKnight and Russell Koste of Northrop Grumman take an award-winning approach to high assurance credentialing
So how did Northrop Grumman manage to issue more than 100,000 smart cards in an award-winning, 18-month program? According to Tim McKnight, Northrop Grumman's Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, and Russell Koste, Director of Identity and Access Management for Northrop Grumman Information Systems, the following four factors were key elements of their approach:
- Leveraging the smart card project experience of government agencies.
- Using a pilot project for hands-on experience and to assess future resources that may be needed.
- Fully committing to the rollout effort, and updating the execution plan to apply sufficient resources in the most effective manner.
- Educating employees, addressing technology and privacy concerns in advance.
To accomplish these factors, first, Northrop Grumman was able to build on its experience with Department of Defense (DoD) and Government Services Administration (GSA) smart card programs, where it played an integral role.
With that knowledge, and having 120,000 employees to issue smart credentials to, Northrop Grumman leadership decided to take an approach that they recommend to any organization considering a smart credential - start with a small scope for credential issuance and then proceed to the larger program with much more knowledge, experience and resources at hand.
"We started in 2006 looking first to privileged users (those with administrative privileges) as an example of high-value targets to protect," McKnight says. "This took place over a 12-month period of time. We were then able to take what would otherwise have been a 3- to 4-year program and implement it in 18 months."
McKnight also explains that one major change from other projects they had seen was to combine the enrollment and registration with the card activation into a single step. This enabled the company to achieve its time frame and schedule. Northrop still maintained two-person control over the issuance process - that is, a separation of the roles so that the enrollment officer is not also the issuer.
To accelerate the larger rollout, Northrop performed a 3- to 4-month surge, issuing 10,000 cards per month using more than 100 operators. "We determined that we needed mobile capability to get to remote and small sites," says Koste, "so, we put together a mobile issuance platform."
When asked about employee response to the program, McKnight said, "We did a lot of education about privacy and the strategic imperatives of this security program. As a result less than two dozen employees raised concerns during the issuance process."
Koste says that single sign-on, remote access, secure e-mail and access to DoD Web applications were important processes enabled by the use of the card's authentication functions for information systems.
"Our privileged users' pilot had 300 internal applications to support," he says. "The enterprise has thousands of applications, such as our ERP instances, time entry systems and even federated access to our externally hosted travel system. The systems that Northrop has in place now allow for governance related to applications, where that did not exist in the past."
The success of the Northrop Grumman project shows that the combination of existing standards and guidance, current-day technology, and lessons learned from the increasing number of smart credential programs provide organizations with the materials they need to achieve success with their own Identity, Credential and Access Management programs.
