It should be added to standard genetic tests used to guide treatment, experts say
SATURDAY, Dec. 1 (HealthDay News) -- One in 10 HIV-infected people receiving drug treatment harbors a hidden genetic mutation that renders certain strains of the virus more resistant to antiretroviral medications, researchers say.
Their study suggests that the N3481 mutation should now be added to standard HIV gene tests that AIDS specialists use as they decide which cocktail of drugs a patient should receive.
"The importance of N3481 is also underscored by the fact that it appears relatively early after starting drug therapy," noted study senior author Gilda Tachedjian, head of the Molecular Interactions Group at the Macfarlane Burnet Institute for Medical Research and Public Health, in Melbourne, Australia.
The mutation, largely overlooked by researchers, appears to confer resistance to zidovudine (AZT or Retrovir), the first drug ever approved to fight HIV; and nevirapine (Viramune), one of a group of powerful antiretroviral medications.
Both medicines fall into a broad category of drugs called reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs), so named because they target a key enzyme on HIV called reverse transcriptase.
Tachedjian's group published its findings late Friday in the December issue of PLoS Medicine on the eve of World AIDS Day.
Gene tests aimed at gauging a particular strain of HIV's resistance to common AIDS drugs are routine in clinical practice, noted Mattias Gotte, an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at McGill University in Montreal. Gotte is also the author of an accompanying commentary in the journal.
"You go as an infected person to a clinician, and you get a certain regimen. Most of the time the clinician uses genotyping [gene tests] to see whether certain preexisting mutations may compromise therapy," he explained. "The other thing that happens is when

A motorcycle collided with a moose on the Parks Highway Wednesday afternoon, seriously injuring the motorcycle rider, according to Alaska State Troopers.
The first 911 call about the crash came in just after 3:30 p.m.
Scott Smith, 44, of Georgia, was riding a BMW 800cc adventure bike northbound when a cow moose ran in front of him at Mile 147, near the Alaska Veterans Memorial, said trooper spokeswoman Beth Ipsen. Smith was third in a line of three motorcyclists from Georgia touring Alaska on bikes rented from a Palmer shop. He was wearing a helmet.
"The motorcycle hit the moose dead center in the body," Ipsen said in an email. "The mama moose ran off the road and into the woods where she was found dead."
The calf hasn't been found.
Troopers called a charity to process and salvage the meat.
An air ambulance helicopter flew Smith to a hospital. He was conscious and talking at the scene.
The highway was closed for about one and a half hours.

My colleague James O'Neill beat me to this one. SP1 for Office is finally here, and none the sooner as I was ready to destroy my laptop and beat it with a sledgehammer because of the stability issues with Outlook.
Funny story, a lot of the bad rap that Vista has been getting has actually been due to poor performance with Office 2007, specifically Outlook 2007. This is not to say that Vista is perfect, but I just like to give credit where credit is due.
download it SP1 (KB 936982)
Unfortunately it looks like Office 2007 SP1 causes connectivity problems in SQL Server Management Studio 2005 (SP2)... Just installed and rebooted, opened studio to carry on working and now getting connection issues with servers I've used for 2 years :-|
That and JIT compiler warnings when I first opened SSMS may lead to a quick uninstall of SP1...

Investigating Affective Mechanisms of Behavioral Sleep Treatment
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Insomnia is a highly prevalent condition and costly national public health problem and a transdiagnostic risk factor for the development of a number of internalizing/emotional disorders, as well as associated functional impairment. Interestingly, sleep treatments appear to reduce anxiety and depression in addition to improving sleep. Given the substantial individual and societal costs of insomnia and associated mental illness, there is an urgent need to better understand the mechanism through which sleep treatments improve daytime symptoms of depression and anxiety in order to enhance the efficacy of sleep treatments and ultimately prevent the development of depression and anxiety disorders following the onset of insomnia. Research suggests that sleep disruptions lead to emotional dysregulation, including increased negative affectivity and decreased positive affectivity. This affective reactivity may ultimately be related to the development of depression and anxiety. Despite the apparent link between sleep and emotion regulation, studies have not investigated the influence of sleep treatment on these affective dimensions. The investigators long term goal is to increase understanding of the mechanism of action in sleep treatments in relation to changes in positive and negative valence systems. The investigators immediate objective is to conduct a pilot study investigating changes in mean levels and day-to-day instability of affective dimensions following a brief behavioral intervention for insomnia tailored for veterans (Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia-Military Version. The specific aims include developing a deeper understanding of the effects of behavioral sleep treatment on positive and negative valence systems and testing a model in which affective reactivity modulates the relation between sleep and internalizing symptoms. Both objective and subjective sleep data, as well as measures of affective states and depression/anxiety symptoms, will be collected pre and post-treatment in order to examine changes in sleep, affect and daytime symptoms over the course of treatment and to test a model in which affective changes mediate the relation between improvements in sleep and improvements in depression and anxiety. The investigators hypothesize that sleep treatment will improve sleep, daytime symptoms and affective reactivity and that changes in affect will mediate the relation between sleep and internalizing symptoms.

Attracting the good bugs
Growing certain plants in the garden can attract good bugs, who in turn eat the bad bugs. I don't spray anything in the garden and nature does a great job of dealing with pests and diseases.
Planting dill is one of the best ways to bring in the good guys. Most small flowering herbs like oregano, basil and thyme will atrract good bugs. By not using systemic pesticides of any time, you let nature do the work for you and you'll be surprised how well the garden can take care of itself.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, letting a corner of the garden grow wild offers habitat for beneficials. Cover crops planted at the end of the season, like winter rye will also attract good bugs. The cover crop will also add fertility to the soil the next season when it's dug under as a green manure.

Yes it does — There are two stats for method time: "Self" [time in method] – [time spent in called children]), "total" [total time in method]. The second should include time spent in the C code

Characterization of subcellular localization and stability of a splice variant of G alphai2
Department of Microbiology and Immunology Kimmel Cancer Institute Thomas Jefferson University 233 S. 10th St., 839 BLSB Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA
BMC Cell Biology 2002, 3:12 doi:10.1186/1471-2121-3-12Published: 31 May 2002
Alternative mRNA splicing of αi2, a heterotrimeric G protein α subunit, has been shown to produce an additional protein, termed sαi2. In the sαi2 splice variant, 35 novel amino acids replace the normal C-terminal 24 amino acids of αi2. Whereas αi2 is found predominantly at cellular plasma membranes, sαi2 has been localized to intracellular Golgi membranes, and the unique 35 amino acids of sαi2 have been suggested to constitute a specific targeting signal.
This paper proposes and examines an alternative hypothesis: disruption of the normal C-terminus of αi2 produces an unstable protein that fails to localize to plasma membranes. sαi2 is poorly expressed upon transfection of cultured cells; however, radiolabeling indicated that αi2 and sαi2 undergo myristoylation, a co-translational modification, equally well suggesting that protein stability rather than translation is affected. Indeed, pulse-chase analysis indicates that sαi2 is more rapidly degraded compared to αi2. Co-expression of βγ rescues PM localization and increases expression of sαi2. In addition, αi2A327S, a mutant previously shown to be unstable and defective in guanine-nucleotide binding, and αi2(1–331), in which the C-terminal 24 amino acids of αi2 are deleted, show a similar pattern of subcellular localization as sαi2 (i.e., intracellular membranes rather than plasma membranes). Finally, sαi2 displays a propensity to localize to potential aggresome-like structures.
Thus, instead of the novel C-terminus of sαi2 functioning as a specific Golgi targeting signal, the results presented here indicate that the disruption of the normal C-terminus of αi2 causes mislocalization and rapid degradation of sαi2.

My first "real" SLR was a K1000, bought shortly before I got my entry-level EOS Rebel X. I've gotten some pretty nice pics out of both of 'em, but the Pentax took more care and thought, and I ended up getting some of my more memorable shots from it.
That camera was stolen out of my van a few years later, and about a year ago I picked up a replacement. IIRC, I paid about $17 for it... and the only problem was a dying battery (replaced) and some poorly re-applied leather on the right front of the body. I fixed that too, and it's just as nice now as the one I lost.
...come to think of it... there's one more thing I need... the wind lever cover.

Ever since Jack Lew was tapped by President Obama to be the next U.S. Treasury Secretary last week, the media has been fascinated by his loopy signature that looks more like the swirls on a cupcake than an actual signature. Obama himself even joked about it and handwriting expert Donald Trump says he considers it "extremely secretive."
The Internet has already turned it into a meme. As Forbes notes, one Reddit post has soared on the site. "Someone should teach Jack Lew cursive. This abomination of a signature is about to grace every dollar bill. FIXED," the poster wrote, linking to an image of a Hostess cupcake.
BuzzFeed also listed 14 things that look like Lew's signature.
Yahoo! News even created a Lew signature generator, in case you wanted to see what it would look like if Lew wrote your name.
"I had never noticed Jack's signature" until the media pointed it out, Obama noted when he made Lew's nomination official, reports Politico. "I considered rescinding my offer to appoint him," the president joked.
The president added that he will ask Lew to "make at least one letter legible in order to not debase our currency should he be confirmed as secretary of the Treasury."
Trump even had to comment on the signature when he was on Fox News' Fox & Friends Monday morning, notes Politico.
"You know, I really actually do analyze handwriting," the Celebrity Apprentice host explained. "I think you can tell a lot about a person by their handwriting and his handwriting is not quite as bad as people think. It's extremely secretive, and it shows he's a very, very secretive person, unbelievably secretive, which of itself is interesting."
He added, "I think he has to develop a new signature, that's one thing I can tell you, because that signature is amazing when you look at it."

Lower in fat
Omit extra egg yolk, replace double cream with low-fat crème fraîche.
Chilli chicken
Fry chunks of chicken and a finely chopped deseeded chilli with the pancetta for a meatier version with a kick.
- Cook the spaghetti. Bring a large, deep pan of salted water to the boil. Plunge spaghetti into the water, stir well and cook, following pack instructions. Aim for 'al dente': cooked, but retaining some bite in the middle. Take a few strands out of the water with a spaghetti spoon or tongs 1-2 mins before the end of the cooking time and bite into it. Repeat until you think it is properly cooked.
- Fry the pancetta. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan. When hot, tip in the pancetta or streaky bacon. Fry over a medium heat until the fat in the meat has melted down into the pan and the meat has turned lightly golden. Be careful not to crisp the pancetta too much; it will be cooked a little bit more later on in the recipe. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce. Crack 2 of the eggs into a mixing bowl. Separate the yolk from the third egg: gently crack the side of the shell and, using both hands, slowly open it into two halves over a separate bowl - you want to keep the yolk in one of the halves. Tip the yolk from one shell half to the other and repeat until all the egg white has fallen into the bowl below, taking care not to crack the yolk on any rough shell edges. Tip the yolk in with the other eggs and beat together, along with the cream, the cheese and some seasoning.
- Combine the dish. Add garlic to the pancetta and return frying pan to hob. Fry over high heat for 1 min or until garlic is cooked and pancetta warmed through. Meanwhile, drain spaghetti. Tip back into the hot saucepan off the heat. Pour egg mixture over pasta, followed by hot pancetta, garlic, any fat and oils. Toss quickly and thoroughly with spaghetti spoon or tongs. Mix until it has thickened to a smooth, creamy sauce. Serve with extra cheese and freshly ground pepper.

Practical Ruby Projects
Chapter 2: Making Music with RubyBy
Learn advanced programming techniques and explore Ruby's full potential through a varied series of exciting projects
In this chapter, you're going to build a music system from the ground up in Ruby. The goals are (of course) to use Ruby, make getting started easy, and keep it simple enough for users to extend. Music theory is, alas, beyond the scope of this chapter (and I'm not the guy to teach it anyway). But hopefully this will be enough to make you dangerous. You can always learn the rest later.

what is mutation?
isn't mutation a mistake in dna copying mutation rate is 0.04 ie 4 mistakes in every copying of dna between parent and child.
so how come a combination of mistakes makes something good or beneficial?
since mutation do exist, then there must be a creator who fix the mistakes every now and then.
other wise accumulating of mutations in dna copying will in no time cause ending of a species like the linski experiment.
every thing in time degrades.
if you leave a fine chair in a room and comes to see it after 2000 years you find it dust!

In June, when Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) first announced its intentions to acquire Alltel (NYSE: AT) to form the largest U.S. carrier, I asked the question: Is Verizon buying Alltel for its subscribers, or also for its scrappy approach to the market? Of course, the jury is still out, but if Verizon's announcement today is any indication, the wireless behemoth is going through Alltel's services one-by-one and smartly picking out the ones that make the most sense. Making the cut today was My Circle, Alltel's service that allowed subscribers to get unlimited calls to either five or 10 phone numbers of their choice. Verizon Wireless has renamed the service "Friends & Family," but it will similarly give customers the option of identifying five or 10 landline or wireless numbers that won't count against their plan minutes. T-Mobile has a competing service called My Faves. Verizon's service will start Feb. 15, and will be free as long as you have a qualifying plan (For five numbers, a single line must have at least 900 minutes, while a family plan must have 1,400). Release.

From the 1st visit with the realtor to our new home, I KNEW the garden around the house would be gravel with meandering paths & terraces of gravel further from the house. And, siting of large pots with HYDRANGEA, drip irrigation of course, were paramount.
Leaving a cottage garden of 3 decades, our new garden is American Farmhouse, ca. 1900. More importantly, its design will be for our 80 year old selves. I must be 80 years old, have a gorgeous garden with zero worries about maintaining it. A garden must leverage life, not the reverse.
This garden, above/below, I shot late last summer. Limelight hydrangeas in the same situation as my new garden. Loving, to the center of my DNA, this garden, I had zero clue I would soon be owning similar. Alas, it's owned by a man, greatly talented, and strong. My garden must be smarter, my strength not as great. Game on.
Fearless, gravel will go to the house, similarly, below.
Not wanting formality, gravel will lap at our century old pecan trees, Tara Turf will lap at some pecan trees too.
As time passes, stone will be added to the gravel as needed. Stone, below, added for rain issues. And, I will site wisteria 'Amethyst Falls' at my front porch. Vines or espaliered trees/shrubs add lush without space.
Knowing gravel terraces will be included, below, great anticipation in wondering 'exactly' where.
Transitioning to meadow, I will add checkerboard squares, below.
Furlow Gatewood has smashed a bottle of champagne upon thousands of ships, below, with his allee of hydrangeas in pots. Copy, it's the 1st rule of garden design.
Wildly, without knowing the deeper truths of our new garden, my initial thoughts for design are more than suitable at age 80. Even life saving, for any age. Snakes, the indigenous timber rattler. Luckily have already interrupted a long king snake under the house. Lucky, yet totally scared when I saw him.
Gravel is the best solution, trying to be safe, in defense of snakes near the house. I got the memo, go me.
Sourcing pots now, I think I've found them !

Garden Design: Hydrangeas in Pots
Notice, below, the color echo? Wonder where the axis leads from the paired entry? Garden design tenants are rife: spikes with rounds, all layers accounted for sky-canopy-walls-floor, contrasting textures, mystery, repetition, copied, color theme, change thru the seasons, low maintenance, maximum pollinator habitat, no chemicals needed, a historical template.
Does your garden tell me who you are? This one does, as all good gardens must.
Under the Tuscan Sun, Frances Mayes, her sister asked, "Have you seen her house." Frances knew, she's asking, "Who is she, what is she like?"
Hydrangeas do great in pots. Choose mopheads, PeeGee, Tardiva, Limelight, etc.
Worried about hydrangea's brown sticks in winter? Move on from that chapter, it's too shallow for you. Good Garden Design backdrops normal changes thru the seasons in beauty.
Focal points change by the day.
Tara Turf, above/below. Garden Design is fierce in this garden.
Fierce? Simplicity is hard, keeping elements of the poverty cycle is hard, good Garden Design is hard.
Getting to this iteration of his garden, I know the gardener grew through, and blew through, many life chapters. Many.
Self -will ended. Gardenese is spoken here. A life language. More, the language of Providence.
Garden Design's status symbols, above, are now gravel drives, no edging. Tara Turf.
At the front end of studying the best historic Garden Design across Europe I 'got' that.
If you want this type of Garden Design, I can do that for you.
If you want a Garden Design to meet HOA requirements, and no more, I will not do that, anymore.
If you wish to push your HOA rules to the max, and have to ask for approval, I will be happy to do your Garden Design.
Understand, I've blown thru chapters and books, and continents, to get here with Garden Design.

Three Best Mistakes to Make in Your Landscape
Choose to make garden mistakes on the side of too simple, too little, too plain.
Better to want more later than dig-up, move plantings, replace a now-thought-cheap/tacky-bench, regret the shape-style-color-of.....
Long term, cute in a garden grates. Whimsy is better.
Be wary of 'words' in a garden. They hold thoughts hostage that should flow randomly, Cole Porter's, Don't Fence Me In.
Of course there are exceptions to all of the above. Indeed.
This morning, above/below, Tomato & Hydrangea. Perfect name for a spiked tea & scones cafe.
Feeding cats & chickens, assessing what the night wrought & will it rain today.
Tomato still in its peat pot with cellophane wrap & tags. Awaiting a much larger pot & bamboo cane trellis. Perhaps this weekend? Hydrangea blossoms hanging lower, petal margins crispier, will I cut to dry or leave to enjoy from the windows?
Calm. Boring is good. Idle chit-chat in the head.
Something new to learn about Social Media. Facebook cannot control pictures during war. Images seen cannot be unseen, merely absorbed into a safe, prayerful, place.
Again, my Garden working for me.
Have you watched the award winning foreign film, Burnt by the Sun ? "The film depicts the story of a senior Red Army officer and his family during the Great Purge of the late 1930s in the Stalinist Soviet Union. Like a tragedy bySophocles, Burnt by the Sun takes place over the course of one day." Wikipedia
Oddly, it's beautiful.
Glad it taught my heart to assimilate what I saw yesterday within mundane ubiquity of beauty in a tomato & hydrangea. The gift of choices, health to act upon them, perhaps a dinner party in late summer honoring the last of the tomatoes. With dried hydrangeas in a vase.
This is freedom.

Design: Know Where Important Views Begin
The most important views of your garden are from inside.
Kitchen views into the garden are imperative.
Make a choice, it's that simple.
Continue with your life accepting garden views harmful to your spirit or make the choice to create garden views joyful to your heart.
Too busy? No Money? Life issues?
Then, those views are essential.
I know from whence I speak. With zero need to relay any of it here.
No matter where you start, your garden can take you (if needed) from victim to survivor to thriver.
Each of us is all of the above, excepting, too often, thriver.
When you make a choice for your garden, you indeed make a choice to thrive.
Standing at the kitchen sink this morning eating yogurt I see, above, to my left, Torte de Shelle, resting on the table Beloved commissioned for me as a birthday gift.
The mophead hydrangeas starting to color, above, a gift from my bosom friend Penny McHenry, who died several years ago.
Without moving my feet, and looking right, above, another hydrangea from Penny causing a great stir in my heart as it approaches peak.
The teak bench was a 40th birthday present to myself. It arrived with a surprise, it needed assembly. I adore that type of chore !
The variegated Boxwood was bought on a whim, not knowing if it would do well in this zone. It does well.
Is it any wonder I stand at the kitchen sink & eat breakfast? Literally, the energy & joy filling into my spirit is felt. Pure atonement.
2+ decades ago I named my business, A Garden View, Inc. Obvious, now, where I was headed though zero clue at the time.

Conservatory in a Tiny Garden Rustique
This week in my garden, below. Small, less than 8500sf, it never bores.
Potted hydrangea setting bud, below, blooms all summer. Behind the hydrangea camellia sasanqua blooms all fall. Left of the hydrangea a camellia japonica blooms all winter. Hellebores in stone terrace, bloomed all winter, pruned down for summer.
Behind this curtain are a stone terrace set in dirt, tea olives, azaleas, daphne, crape myrtles, red buds, sarcococca, roses, viburnum, aucuba, liriope & etc....
Not a day in the year does my garden lack blooms, structure or beauty.
However, those are not salient facts.
Maximum pollinator habitat is the most important detail. Which includes subsidiary effects.
No fertilizer to kill mycorrhizal fungi, earthworms or poison groundwater. No need to even mention insecticides. And, a potager producing 80% more produce with the increased pollinators. In addition, no lawn to mow-water-feed. Picking up on the time-effort-money this type of garden saves?
Shade during summer cuts electric bills by 40% with leaves dropping allowing the sun to help heat my house. Aside from mental health this little garden has given me a career. Very nice, but more greatly, purpose backed with passion.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Conservatory is rescued doors/windows with siding from a century old fishing cabin torn down at Lake Burton. Chandelier, wood stove, antiques, gravel floor, lamps-more-lamps, and my wireless reaches to the Conservatory. Go me ! For a decade my garage held the gathering storm of this Conservatory.

Subsidiary Focal Point
Tucked in 'as if' it were being worked.
Subsidiary focal point.
Yes, this client is waltzing with her garden now. Leading too.
She surprised me with this little cart. And was correct, never seen one before. Years of fun ahead with this cutie.

Pics taken this month in client garden. We've worked almost 3 years to get to this point. Pure play. Of course plantings still arriving in layers too.

Driveway Planting
This was lawn, below, with a view down the cul-de-sac & myriad houses.
"I want a better view than this", was my thought a decade ago.
And, I want hydrangeas decadently gracing the side of my car as I pull into the garage.
Everything shown was planted as 1 gallons.
.Desire on a tight budget, just add patience.

Checkerboard Square with Circle
Untrained, unschooled & perfect.
Viewed from deck & house the existing lower garden, above, leads to their wild wood.
They hired me to design their landscape. Of course I left this alone! Tweaks could be made but out goes THEIR charm.
And, they built this DIY !

Penny McHenry's Quotes To Live By
Penny McHenry, founder American Hydrangea Society, had 2 newspaper clippings on her bathroom mirror.
Below, is one.
The 2nd said, "It is more important to be kind than to be right."
She was in her 70's when they were taped to her mirror.
Active, Penny was forever getting into 'pickles'. At least once a year she forgot these quotes, thoroughly.
Her charm lay in immediate repentance & contrition. I drove Penny a lot of places thru the years & it was always a thrill when she would begin, "Perhaps I shouldn't have told....."

Hydrangeas On Speed
At my back door, below, this week.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Pics from my garden during days of great drought, heat, humidity & zero maintenance or watering. This is why I've taken you around my garden the past few days. You must know how easy it is to have a garden.

Front Door: Curb Appeal
Yesterday, at my front door.
Espalier Oakleaf hydrangea, discovered studying historic landscapes in Italy. (Irony, Italy teaching a USA southerner how to prune hydrangea.)
Plaque is a Christine Sibley piece & I don't like 'words' in a garden. (Great profession, exceptions to EVERYTHING.)
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Epiphany yesterday. With heat-humidity-droughts my garden is gorgeous from every window view. And I haven't done any gardening for weeks. Groundcovers, flowering shrubs, flowering trees, a few perennials & self-seeding annuals, focal points on axis. No accidents. I paid attention studying across Europe AND have a mission statement for my garden.
More correctly, my garden is a metaphor for what I want in my life.

Sir Cecil Beaton In Reddish
"Cecil was actually the first person ever to walk me round a garden, which he regularly did at his house in Reddish.This seemingly simple act, like so many in one's life, was seminal in opening up to me the very idea that one could actually make a garden at all." Sir Roy Strong, about his friend Sir Cecil Beaton.

Pics taken in my garden last week. FYI, zero watering for these plants. Beauty Without Effort; great mantra to me. Just another little detail why "sustainable" is such a COS. (Does this show Puppet Barbuda's age?) Sustainable? Why accept sooooooo little? FTS.

Pic from the same garden as yesterday's post. My client made these tuteurs. Notice the drama of tuteurs in pots. The Anna Belle hydrangeas are a victory in this drought & hi temps & sun.

Hydrangea Drying Now
Hydrangeas, too many weeks, have spilled into my paths. (These are EXACTLY the type of problems I want in life!) Finally, edges of their blossoms feel 'papery'. Time to dry. Drought & hi temps are the obvious diary entries upon each petal.
Cut the stems, peel off the foliage. Voila, ready to dry.

Details of a Garden Room
Rescued sink, "champagne is on ice in the conservatory", & stand made from leftover structural pieces, century old rescued pine. Rescued culvert, above, has a new life, & the rescued chest, windows, shutter.
How calm the shutter looks, above, hiding the sink. Carpet, #89 granite gravel.
Nap, above, on the daybed in the Garden Room? Notice its pot feet? Having a chandelier & lamps is of utter importance.
Chandelier, for sale, alas borrowed from Le Jardin Blanc, hanging from the tin roof. Ugh, we had to buy the roof. Curtains? Jute erosion control fabric. Bedding borrowed from Susanne Hudson's home, & mine.
Hydrangea welcome, above. After all it's the garden Susanne Hudson & I created for the Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival on the grounds of Le Jardin Blanc.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
You will not believe what this Garden Room looks like. Can't wait to show you the money shot, soon poppets ! Alert, this garden room built solely with the labor of 1 man & 2 women. None labeled 'young' in contemporary culture. Ha, young in what we create. Please, let us create a Garden Room for YOU. It's all we wanna do. Oh dear, this snippet is turning into the lines of a country song......... ta-ta before it gets worse.

Got the Mamiya!
My new Mamiya 645 was delivered this afternoon, and I've just been having a bit of a play - taking bits off, putting them back on, working out how it all works. Everything looks great, and I can't wait to take some photos with it! I can't believe how bright the waist level finder is! Hats off t...
Got the Job!
Just been told by the guy who interviewed me (the guy who will be my new boss!) that they are going to offer me the job! Just have to wait for the HR department to sort out the paperwork and make the official offer! Woo-Hoo!
Mamiya 645
Just bought a Mamiya 645 Pro TL, 80mm lens, 120 Back and hood from MXV for £195 + P&P. Seriously thinking about taking this to Brighton for 1 camera, 1 Lens on Saturday! Guess where most of my disposable income is going for the next few months? ;)
Busy week (for me!)
Got a job interview tomorrow, walk round Battersea Power Station on Thursday, possible trip to Cambridge for work on Friday, and the Brighton 'One Camera, One Lens' meeting on Saturday! I'm tired just thinking about it!
Bunch of Muppets!
Finally - three weeks later - got my B&W photos back from Jessops after the London One Camera, One Lens meet. Popped the CDs in the PC to take a quick look, and every single shot on three CDs has been scanned upside-down! I'd complain, but I don't want them taking ANOTHER 3 weeks to correct ...
Just been round to Jessops to collect my B&W films from Saturdays 1 Camera 1 Lens meet, only to find that they've been sent back, unprocessed, because the shop assistant had put all 3 films in one envelope, instead of one per envelope....
Got a blogged nose and a sore throat! ;) Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3....

is a credible and charismatic lead actor. I doubt many people outside the US can name anything that Taylor Kitsch has been in. He does a reasonable job in the role, but I think he was miscast.
UK resident says, "Wolverine" and "Friday Night Lights"
- terrible film and I don't recall Kitsch being at all notable in it at all although he certainly was in it.
Friday Night Lights
- never watched by more than 26,000 people on ITV4 and also some fraction of those rich enough to be able to afford Sky Atlantic. Probably not enough people to make him recognisable to the vast proportion of the UK public who might be inclined to go to the cinema.
As someone else said, it was a bit like they cast Derek Zoolander for the role.

Barbecued Chicken with Papaya Salsa and Corn Pancakes
- Active Time 30m
- Total Time 35m
Makes 4 servings
- For the Stuffing:
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon minced hot chili pepper
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 boneless half chicken breasts, skin on
- For the Barbecue Sauce:
- 1 cup tomato ketchup
- 1/4 cup dry mustard
- For the Papaya Relish:
- 1 cup papaya, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red onion, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon minced hot chili pepper
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Pancakes:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pureed frozen or canned corn
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 red bell pepper, minced
- 2 tablespoons corn oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F or prepare a grill.
FOR THE STUFFING: In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the chicken into a paste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the mixture between the skin and the meat of the chicken breast.
FOR THE SAUCE: Combine the ingredients in a bowl and coat the chicken on all sides. Bake the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes, or on the grill, until fully cooked. The skin should be crispy.
FOR THE RELISH: While the chicken is cooking, combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
FOR THE PANCAKES: In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the corn oil. Heat the corn oil in a nonstick frying pan. Pour 1/2 cup of the pancake batter into the center of the pan and spread it out to a diameter of about 6 inches. As soon as the surface of the pancake looks dry, turn the pancake over and cook it for an additional 2 minutes. Use this technique to make 4 pancakes.
TO SERVE: Place 1 pancake on each of 4 plates. Place a chicken breast onto half of the pancake and fold the other half of the pancake over the chicken to make a sandwich. Serve the papaya relish on the side.

text: IN THE FIRST DECADE of the twentieth century when the deterministic philosophy of William Graham Sumner was crystallizing into Folkways, Josiah Royce walked quietly each day across the Harvard Yard to his office to pursue further that ethical investigation which resulted in 1908 in a little book, The Philosophy of Loyalty. It contained a reasoned rejection of the pessimistic outlook. It provided new philosophic foundations for the American democratic faith. Royce saw that that faith, in spite of the hopeful conclusions of Morgan and of Powell, was threatened. Its enemy was Darwinism. Sumner was an illustration of the social thinker who, too much persuaded by the evolutionary doctrine, saw in man only an intelligent animal engaged in a struggle for existence, and democracy with all that it implied as to the freedom and the development of the individual moving toward extinction. Royce did not believe that democracy was about to die. Those creeds which Sumner called phantasms Royce made the cornerstones of his philosophical edifice. To a materialistic and money-mad generation he proclaimed again the importance of ideals. "We want not less talk about evolution," he said, as he stood at the threshold of a long professional career, "but more study of human life and destiny, of the nature of men's thought, and the true goal of men's actions. Send us the thinker who can show us just what in life is most worthy of our toil, just what makes man's destiny more than poor and comic, just what is the ideal that we ought to serve; let such a thinker point out to us plainly that ideal, and then say, in a voice that we must hear, 'Work, work for that; it is the highest'--then such a thinker will have saved our age from one-sidedness, and have given it eternal significance."1 In such phrases Royce announced his own aspira-

The finished icon To illustrate the design process I created the icon for a fictitious iPhone app named It's a search engine for recipes with additional social functionalities: you can turn the ingredient list into a shopping list, share pictures of your dish and suggest modifications to the cooking process.
The icon depicts a typical gas range, a graphic metaphor that fits both the app and the rounded square format. If you'd like to know how I created the icon I wrote a tutorial to share my workflow.
