{Flashback}: Day 3
Trying to be savvy tourists and avoid being pickpocketed or messed with, we never stood around and watched the street performers or paid any attention to the whistling sounds of the Arabs who had various gadgets in their hands to show off.
Side note: One scam pickpocketers will do is have these very small whistles between their lips and tongue and whistle this high pitch noises to distract you. It is so small you can barely see it in their mouths. The Arabs had these while trying to get you to buy something or just plain distract you. Tourists will then look around and ask, "What is that? Where is that noise coming from?" And then before you know it, you are pickpocketed! My girls kept asking, "What's that noise?" and stop in the middle of the walk to look around. I very quickly said, "Nevermind, I'll tell you later, let's keep going!"
With street performers, same thing. There are a group of men usually waiting around to see you get distracted and then get you while you are watching the performance.
Anyways, after taking in all of the scenary of the busy street we continued to walk to Barri Gotic. This was one of Tim's favourite spots. It is exactly how you picture a European country to be like. Cobblestone road, pigeons mingled together all over the plaza, shops within colorful buildings lining the narrow streets...very fun atmosphere.
There we saw the Catedral de Barcelona...
Then stopped to take a picture of Carrer del Bisbe Irurita...
Our tummies were then beginning to grumble so we decided to check out the shops down the narrow roads toward lunch. On the way we bought the girls these darling flamenco dresses. I took these pictures today. Aren't they so cute?!
They love them. Natalie calls it her "red tutu" and is pretty protective of it. (She even insisted on taking a nap with it later on while we were in Andorra.)
For lunch we ate La Boqueria, which is an outdoor market that sells anything from, meat, to seafood, to sweets, to pizza. I love markets. Total eye-candy.
It started to get really warm during lunch so we went back to the apartment to get ready to go to Barceloneta beach.
According to wikipedia, "Barceloneta beach gained status as the best urban beach in the World and total third best beach in the World, according the documentary film 'Worlds Best Beaches' produced by Discovery Channel in 2005."
I didn't take my camera because first, I didn't want it stolen while I tried to bask in the Spanish sun and second, I didn't want sand in it. We took our iphones instead to capture pictures and video, but we all know what happened with those....
If you were to ask Marisa her favourite part about the trip she always cheerfully says, "The beach!" I have always said before that Marisa is 100% beach bum. Doesn't matter how cold the water is she will go in it. The girls loved playing on the sand and it was so fun to seem them so happy on a beach in Spain! I hope they always remember that moment because it was such a great afternoon. So instead of looking fondly at pictures and videos of us on the beach I'm just going to have to keep the images in my mind and in my heart of my two little girls' laughter and pure delight on the sand...
For dinner we headed back to Plaza Catalunya to eat at Hard Rock Cafe. Tim and I are very against eating American chain restaurants when you are visiting another country. I mean, really, that doesn't make sense! But, in Spain, local restaurants don't open until around 9 for dinner! Even the restaurant we had gone to the night before didn't serve certain items while we were there because the meat they serve for the night doesn't arrive until 7 at night. And we were obviously there before 7. 9 o'clock is my girls' bed time while on holiday and there is no way my children can wait until then for dinner after exhausting them the whole day.
Hard Rock doesn't even have good food and it is totally over priced, but I must say, we really enjoyed sitting in a place that was familiar, listening to American music, and giving our mind a break from Spanish and everything Spanish. My children didn't mind at all tasting American food either. They literally devoured, I mean devoured, their mac n' cheese...:)

Loving the blog Tanya. Glad to hear you have turned a corner in London. FYI...I've been to a lot of countries in Europe & I have to say that Spain has the worst food & rudest people. Beautiful country though. God Save the Queen!!! (Is that how I'm suppose to close out all my correspondence to you now? No? Well, I'm going to anyway :)

Save big on airfare by flying these dates this summer
FOX NEWS - Let's face it, summer will never be a dirt cheap time to fly. You knew that but you may not know there are certain dates that are less expensive days to fly than others.
The following cheaper dates are based on an analysis of FareCompare's airfare data of average ticket prices for popular itineraries. You may see slight variations – cheaper fares within a day or so of these dates - depending on your departure city and route.
Flights within the U.S.
--May 21: This is the start of the pre-summer season, and prices are on the rise. If you can depart on May 20 (or earlier), you'll see a bit of a price break.
--June 15: This is when peak summer travel season begins, and we won't see prices this high again until Thanksgiving. To save some money, you don't have to fit your entire trip into the first two weeks of June, but those who can depart before this date are likely to save.
--August 30: In the airline world, Aug. 30 is the start of the cheaper fall season because many kids are going back to school and demand for travel drops. If autumn travel sounds good to you, consider waiting until mid to late October when fares drop even more.
Flights to Europe
--May 12: Prices rise for the summer season on this date. The good news is, we've seen a number of historical lows for fares to popular European cities in the past year, including deals to Paris, Copenhagen and even London.
--Aug. 30: Prices drop for Europe, just as they do domestically, and generally continue to go down until the winter holidays. Fly in fall, beat the crowds and save on hotels, too.

Name: Becky
Age: 23
Question: I've never had a relationship longer than 2 months. When I was younger it wasn't big deal to me, but now it's getting frustrating. About myself, looks wise I want to say I'm higher than average, I'm in shape, very feminine, and I have a great job in sales, this translates me to having great communication skills and can carry on a conversation with anyone without dominating the conversation. I typically never have a problem getting a first date, second date or even third. However getting past that is hard with someone I genuinely think I could see myself with. Obviously, I realize I'm the common factor here. I've thought of 3 things I'm thinking could be the issue, but I'm wondering if there is something you can give me insight in that I'm not seeing.
1. I'm terrible at the playing hard to get. When I think someone is equally interested in me I get really excited and start to text them as much as I would a good friend and I text a lot. I think this over eagerness sometimes might be scaring guys off.
2. I'm really bad about jumping into bed with people on the 2nd or 3rd date. Sometimes I wonder if I had waited longer and made sure there was a deeper connection maybe they would have respected me more to want to develop a relationship with me.
3. I'm not sure I'm dating the right type of guys. I usually date guys much older than myself. The youngest guy I've dated in awhile is 30, but usually they are in their mid-30s. I like to think I'm attracted to the older guys because they are more stable and in a place I don't feel like many people my age are, but I am. I also pick guys who I don't feel like would be up to my standards (intellectually, education, job, multiple kids), but I like to give them a chance. I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt and usually my gut about those guys was correct to begin with.
Are any of these a giant red flag that I shouldn't be doing? Or maybe you've picked up on it being something completely different I haven't even figured out yet. I just want to start dating again, but I want to do it better and more successfully. Thank you.
Before I answer your questions, I wanted to include a posting in a list serv I belong to called Help a Reporter. The gist of the list serv is that writers post story and article ideas and ask for feedback and contributions from writers, experts and lay people. Here's one post that was in yesterday's newsletter:
I'm writing an article for Match.com's Happen mag about the
two-month mark as a relationship milestone that many
relationships just can't make it past. What is it about the
8-week point that can bring on the fizzling of interest?
The first thing you should know is that your experience is not atypical. The two-month mark appears to be the norm nowadays. With all the options out there, people don't have to commit as quickly, if at all. Many men and women actually like dating multiple people and casually dating. It works for them. The simple reason why it's harder to find a man to commit is because there are fewer men willing to or interested in committing. If women continue to look for those needles in the haystack, they need to understand that that search is going to take much, much longer than they originally expected. If it's commitment they want, and they're dating on a schedule, they best get comfortable with the idea of "settling."
Now, as for the three points you mentioned might be working against you.
Whether you text "too much" is subjective. I don't know how these men are responding or the frequency of their responses. As a general rule of thumb, I don't prolong text conversations and pay attention to cues. If his responses are clipped or delayed, I keep the conversation short and sweet. If he seems as engaged as I do, then I just enjoy the back and forth. Typically, though, I save most communication for when we're together or on the phone. I do think it's wise to be a little less available. There's no harm in maintaining some mystery. Don't let the guy know you're hooked. You can let him know you're interested. Just don't play your hand too soon and let him know you're ga ga.
As for the sex….that's probably not an issue either. The idea that a man likes a challenge and will lose interest if you sleep with him too soon is a fallacy developed by women and insecure men. The more accessible women make sex, the less valuable it becomes in the dating market place. That means that sex is no longer the bargaining chip or "prize" that can be used to get certain behavior from men. Hence why so many women are trying to poison the well by telling women they need to keep their legs closed or risk never finding a manz. The idea of a "deep connection" and wanting to be recognized for "sharing your body" are romantic notions also manufactured by women. In other words, most men don't think like that. So unless you're attaching inordinate expectations to the sex, the sex itself isn't the problem either. As long as you're not romanticizing the act of having sex with a man and aren't using it to gain something other than pleasure, you're fine.
Your third point is more troubling. You're admitting that you choose inappropriate men, yet you're confused as to why these men aren't sticking around. They're not sticking around because they aren't appropriate for you. Sure, you might think that they are more on your level in terms of stability and education. But they likely don't feel the same about you. If anything, they're dating you because you're not mature enough. We've discussed this before. Men don't look too closely at a woman's earning potential or education level when trying to determine compatibility. Those things fall pretty low on the list of priorities. You're fun to hang out with and bang for a few months. Ultimately, the difference in maturity levels and lifestyles become too apparent to them. If they're looking for someone to be the mother to their children, that driven career woman side of you is a negative. They'd rather find someone who wouldn't mind putting their career on hold for a few years. So they'll settle down with a woman who has already achieved a certain level of professional success or someone with no real career aspirations.
I think you're biggest challenge is your ego and what you think you deserve. I think you tend to see yourself with a specific type of person. Someone who you feel is on your level. The problem is that most of the men you appear to pursue don't find any of the things you find important as important. To them, you're pretty much just a hot 23 year old. You're fun for awhile, but then they find someone they can take seriously.
My advice is to start dating men who are more appropriate for you and get a clear understanding of what men consider important and attractive. Your diploma, job, apartment, etc are pretty much irrelevant to these men. You also need to understand, especially amongst the men you tend to gravitate towards, that commitment isn't a priority. Either accept the fact that you're going to be part of a harem or readjust your expectations as to what you "deserve." And PS? You can develop your own harem, you know. Men did not corner the market on that idea. You're 23 and really attractive. Jesus. Work it. Enjoy it. You can date a handful of guys that each meet a specific need. Just understand that if settling down and having kids is a priority, you're going to have to make some sacrifices and compromises eventually.

Patrick Dowd expects different dynamic in his district
As he prepares to take a job leading a nonprofit organization focused on advocating for children, Patrick Dowd sees a job serving on City Council for a large and varied District 7 that will remain unfinished in one form or another.
"There's always going to be work to be done," he said. "I'm never going to finish everything that I started."
That's especially true now. Dowd announced he is leaving his seat to become executive director of Allied for Children, a new child advocacy nonprofit launched with the support of the Heinz Endowments, the Pittsburgh and Grable Foundations, and the United Way.
Dowd sees the new post as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead an organization he believes will have a powerful voice in working to influence policy deliberations over children.
"For me, it's something that I care about," he said. "There's a real urgency to this work."
Dowd expects to step down in July, followed by a special election to replace him in November.
He's been on the council since January 2008, representing a district that includes much of Lawrenceville out to Larimer and up through Stanton Heights to Morningside and Highland Park, where he lives. It's a district that has now been redrawn to include all of the Strip District, Bloomfield and Friendship, a territory for which a new council member will find themselves in the middle of three major redevelopment plans involving the Buncher Co., the Pittsburgh Brewing Co. property and the Don Allen car dealership redevelopment near Baum and Liberty.
Dowd expects Bill Peduto, the new Democratic nominee for mayor, to play a much larger role in steering such major development projects, taking pressure off whoever is to replace him.
In assessing the achievements of his time on the council, Dowd highlighted his work with Connect, an ad-hoc group that works to better coordinate action between the city and its surrounding municipalities; being part of a coalition to stop the city's parking assets to be privatized to help meet pension obligations; the library referendum; and working to make sure new bars and restaurants operate in relative balance with the community in Lawrenceville.
The "demographics and the voting patterns have really changed" in his district, he said, as newcomers to the city and young people have established themselves in much of his East End district.
Expressing no plans or interest in backing a replacement for him, Dowd said the race for his seat could be wide open.
"I've run mostly from the outside and wouldn't rule out a candidate doing that same thing here," he said.

Global Warming Dissent Continues
From APS on the need to slow down the climate change discussion, so that we can have an actual scientific debate. Many of these folks are mainstream scientists. Of course, I'd expect that the politicized Global Warming! crowd will find a way to suggest that their mamas are whores. Excuse my language.

Bourbon police department receives grant for defibrillator
BOURBON— It was police chief William Martin's goal to have a defibrillator in every Bourbon squad car. He was pursing getting a grant for the funds when Officer Ben McIntire found a grant application on the Lifepack Defibrillator website. "We were on the website, checking out prices, and Officer McIntire found the information about their grant," said Martin. Within a month of filling out the application online, the Bourbon police department was approved for the funds to purchase a third defibrillator, providing one for every squad car. The grant they received from Lifepack Defibrillator paid for half of the new defibrillator, and the police department paid for the other half. Martin anticipates ordering the new defibrillator soon. "It's a good cause for our community," said Martin. "It could save someone's life." Chief Martin plans on offering a CPR class for his police force through the Bourbon EMS. The class will cover training on using the A.E.D. device. Eventually, Martin hopes to use all three of their newer defibrillators in squad cars and place older units in town buildings for use in case of an emergency

If you've never eaten cactus fruit (prickly pear)before, you must have a try. I must admit, it is an acquired taste but not unpleasant. In my opinion, it is a mix of melon and pineapple. The fruit is as big as a duck egg with thick coarse skin with tiny prickly spines which can be very irritating when stuck in bare hands. The fruit flesh ranges in colour from yellow to orange, or dark burgundy which makes it good for cocktails.
What is even better is to make jam !
Here is what I did with 10 pcs of fruit (country of origin : Spain) from the local market.
You need :
10 pcs cactus fruit (500ml fruit puree)
500g jelly sugar (2: 1)
Juice from 2 lemons
a pair of gloves
Put on gloves.
Slice off both ends of fruit and peel skin off.
Place peeled fruits into a pan and slow cook (without adding any water or liquid)
till fruits are soft.
Strain through a sieve to remove the nasty black seeds.
Cook liquid again, adding lemon juice and jelly sugar.
Cook a further 10 minutes and bottle immediately.
Note: This jam taste totally different from the fresh fruit. It is pineapple and pomegrate with a touch of caramel. The colour is rich golden amber.

MEEKER | Conservation populations of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout (cutthroat) in Colorado have been reduced to about 7 percent of their historic range. This reduction makes projects that enhance native fisheries in local rivers increasingly important. Conservation projects that improve cutthroat trout populations are priority partner projects with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and Trout Unlimited.
The Blanco Ranger District on the White River National Forest is seeking comments on its proposal to install a barrier to upstream fish passage in North Elk Creek, a tributary to the White River, east of Meeker, Colo. The North Elk Creek watershed is occupied by a conservation population of blue lineage cutthroat. The genetics of this population are slightly different from other blue lineage populations in the state making this population unique.
"We have an opportunity to protect and enhance the unique blue lineage cutthroat population in the North Elk Creek through this partner-project," stated Curtis Keetch, district ranger. "The barrier will promote a healthy and viable population in the future."
This unique species of blue lineage cutthroat are at risk of hybridization and competition from other species of non-native fish. The barrier installation will help to reclaim the North Elk headwaters and increase the likelihood that blue lineage cutthroat have the genetic capacity to sustain themselves indefinitely in their native habitat.
"This project is a unique opportunity to protect a long stretch of connected habitat, including several tributaries, which will greatly increase the likelihood of the population persisting into the future, as well as help us meet our conservation goals for native trout across Colorado," stated Tory Eyre, Colorado Parks and Wildlife aquatic biologist.
The process to grow a healthy population will take several years. After construction of the barrier, CPW will remove fish from the watershed above the barrier using several treatments of Rotenone or a similar chemical. The watershed above the barrier will be left fishless for two to three years post-treatment in an effort to break the life cycle of Whirling disease and reduce or eliminate it from the watershed above the barrier. Once it has been determined that non-native fish have been removed above the barrier, CPW will reintroduce North Elk cutthroat above the barrier.

Savelugu (N/R), Feb
22, GNA – A group of Dutch students, teachers and volunteers have begun a
week-long exchange programme at Yoo Roman Catholic (R/C) Junior High School
(JHS) at Savelugu in the Northern Region to learn more about the culture of the
The exchange programme dubbed "Going Global" was to enable the v Dutch numbering 31 to learn more about educational, cultural, social, economic and political systems of the country.
The programme was organised by Savana Signatures, an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Tamale in partnership with Edukans Foundation, a Dutch organization.
As part of the programme, Dutch students, teachers and volunteers will sit through classroom lessons at the host school (Yoo R/C JHS) as well as interact with members of the Yoo community to learn more about their social and cultural set up.
Mr Abdulai Alhassan Red, Savelugu/Nanton Municipal Chief Executive, who spoke at the ceremony at Yoo R/C JHS at Savelugu on Monday to welcome the Dutch to the school lauded the initiative and advised pupils of Yoo R/C JHS to learn more about each other's culture.
Mr Red assured them of the Dutch of the Ghanaian hospitality at Savelugu urging them to be ambassadors for the Savelugu/Nanton Municipality (S/NM).
Mr Abdul Rashid, Assistant Director of Education in-charge of NGOs at S/NM commended the Dutch team for coming to experience Ghanaian culture saying this would go a long way to establish good relations between the two countries.
Mr Rashid commended Savana Signatures for resourcing some schools in the S/NM with computers to enhance ICT education as well as implementing projects that helped to empower the girl-child.
Mr John Stephen Agbenyo, Executive Director of Savana Signatures said Yoo R/C JHS was selected as the host of the exchange programme because it had been a beneficiary of some of its projects and urged pupils of the schools to do well to learn about dutch culture.
Mr Frits Kruiswijk, Senior Programme Advisor of Edukans Foundation spoke about the importance of the exchange programme and lauded Christians and Muslims in the country (Ghana) for their peaceful coexistence.
Madam Patricia Dumbah, Headmistress of Yoo R/C JHS commended Savana Signatures for its initiatives at helping to improve the capacity of teachers of the school in ICT as well as implementing programmes to empower the girl-child at the school.

This Sabbath the reading of the Torah is called "Shemini" – that is the eight day because the beginning of the reading: "It came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel." (Leviticus 9:1 NKJV)
However the most famous part of this week's Parasha is the first half of chapter 10. It is the story of Aaron's two elder sons, Nadab and Abihu who brought "strange fire" to the altar and fire came down from Heaven and devoured them instantly. The questions that everyone is dealing with is – What is the strange fire? Why did Aaron's sons Nadab and Avihu bring the strange fire? Why did Moses not intercede for his nephews? Some traditional Christian commentators use this story to show the harshness of God's judgment in the so called "Old Testament."
If however the readers would continue reading the rest of the chapter may be he would gain some insight or answers to the above questions. There is a second story in chapter 10 of Leviticus. Yes, Nadab and Abihu sinned with the strange fire, but their other two brothers Eleazar and Ithamar who were also priests and sons of Aaron sinned in a much more serious way and yet nothing happened to them. Aaron pleaded for himself and his sons and Moses heard his brother's plea and approved it. These two children of Aaron, Priests, Eleazar and Ithamar were given instruction by Moses and Aaron: "Take the grain offering that remains of the offerings made by fire to the LORD, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy. You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your due and your sons' due, of the sacrifices made by fire to the LORD; for so I have been commanded. The breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering you shall eat in a clean place, you, your sons, and your daughters with you; for they are your due and your sons' due, which are given from the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. The thigh of the heave offering and the breast of the wave offering they shall bring with the offerings of fat made by fire, to offer as a wave offering before the LORD. And it shall be yours and your sons with you, by a statute forever, as the LORD has commanded." (Leviticus 10:12–15 NKJV)
The first command for these two sons of Aaron was: Eat the grain offering beside the altar without leaven in a holy place. The second command: The breast of the wave offering shall be eaten in a clean place. The third command: The thigh of the heave offering and the breast of the wave offering with the fat made by fire to offer as a wave offering before the LORD.
These three commands were not kept by the two lasts sons of Aaron: "Why have you not eaten the sin offering in a holy place, since it is most holy, and God has given it to you to bear the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? See! Its blood was not brought inside the holy place; indeed, you should have eaten it in a holy place, as I commanded." (Leviticus 10:17–18 NKJV) These sins of the Eleazar and Ithamar sons of Aaron were much more serious than the strange fire that Nadab and Abihu brought to the altar, but they did not die or even did not get punished. Aaron and Moses interceded for these sons of Aaron and in the end Moses heard Aaron's pleading and it is said: Moses heard and was content. In other words, the Lord did not punish these two sons of Aaron and Aaron himself – because Moses understood and Aaron's explanation was satisfactory for Moses.
We have read two stories in the same chapter: In the first story there is a very quick and harsh judgement and both sons of Aaron die by divine fire from heaven. Even Aaron is not allowed to morn for his two sons. God had no mercy for these two sons of Aaron. In the second story, there are the two last sons of Aaron Ithamar and Eleazar. They sin in three things and God accepts Moses and Aaron's understanding of the very difficult circumstances and if the last two sons of Aaron and Aaron himself die – there would be no priests in Israel. The house of Aaron would be decimated. For this reason, God's relativity in judgment and provision of Grace and Loving kindness – wins over HIS judgment. Don't say that the Torah has no mercy and grace – or no grace and truth. Read the whole chapter 10 of Leviticus.

A Novel
A Novel
Young and pregnant, Cerise and Anna make very different decisions about how to direct their lives. While teenaged Cerise struggles to support herself and her young daughter, Anna finishes college, marries, and later gives birth to two daughters of her own. After the birth of her second child, a tragic accident tears Cerise's life apart, and she loses her already tenuous position in society. As the story progresses--and Cerise's and Anna's lives interweave and inexorably approach each other--both women are dramatically, forever changed. Unforgettable, awe-inspiring, and grippingly honest, Windfalls is a daring and mesmerizing tale.

1. Why do you think Jean Hegland chose to call her novel Windfalls? Do you think it is a good title for the book? Why or why not?
2. The novel opens with a lyrical description of one of Anna's photographs -- of a lone tree on a barren windswept hillside beneath a stormy sky, its trunk split almost in two. What purpose do the tree and its photograph serve in the novel and in the lives of the two main characters?
3. Both Anna and Cerise find themselves facing unplanned pregnancies, but they make very different decisions about their lives. Were the choices they made the right ones for them at the time? Do they turn out to be wise decisions as their lives unfold?
4. Windfalls has been described as a deeply stirring novel about the choices that every woman faces. Discuss the ways that life circumstances either force choices on us or take them away from us.
5. Joelle Fraser, author of The Territory of Men, describes Windfalls as "an elegy to motherhood in all its painful, beautiful complexity." Talk about the rapturous joys and heartbreaking sorrows and terrors of motherhood depicted in Windfalls. What other novels have you read or movies have you seen that deal with the theme of motherhood and its rewards and costs? How do they compare with Windfalls?

As a new home for the hashtag #SoftwareÜberfordertDieMenschheit (German, lit. software is over-challenging mankind) which I have been using for quite a while on Google+ to tag stories about software-related issues that are just not supposed to happen (but obviously do), I wanted to quickly find a new suitable story.

Ken was influenced early in life by his father, a talented designer in advertising and a skilled woodworker. As a teen, Ken was employed in a sign shop and, related to his love of cars, became well-known for his ability to do pin-striping and flame painting on customized cars and motorcycles.
After attending Ball State (at the time "Teachers' College") as an Industrial Arts major and Art minor, he was hired by a Muncie corrugated container company as a package designer. He retired in 2003, after 37 years in the packaging business, as a Senior Designer for Inland Container Company in Indianapolis.
Joyce, a retired high school art educator, considers herself an artist/designer. She embraces the challenge of using post-consumer waste (used, discarded and found objects) as her medium to create witty and somewhat provocative works of art in both two and three dimensions. Her assemblages, collages, and mixed-media drawings reflect her sense of humor as well as her multi-media background as an art educator.
Active in historic preservation, Joyce and her husband, Ken, have restored two nineteenth-century houses in National Register Historic Districts. In retirement they "reinvented" themselves as "Sam and Izzy", dealers in antiques and uniques. The "Uniques" are one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture or accessories which they restore and repurpose from curbside discards and thrift store finds. Ken, a retired package designer, also creates twig furniture and garden accessories from yard waste trimmings.
Joyce and Ken are the parents of son Cary Benbow who has a fine arts degree in photography and daughter Kyle Benbow Miller who is a middle school art educator.
The Benbows' Market Street studio "Green Gate" is so named for their efforts to reuse, recycle, repurpose, restore and live "green".

Sir Alex Ferguson has always been one to strictly adhere to the tired old football maxim of taking one game at a time.
But the mouth-watering visit of Internazionale and the return of Jose Mourinho next Wednesday in the Champions League may have some bearing on his team selection for the FA Cup quarter-final clash at Fulham on Saturday.
Darron Gibson is expected to be given another chance to enhance his credentials as a vital future cog in the Old Trafford engine room, while Carling Cup man of the match Ben Foster and Tomasz Kuszczak will again compete for Edwin van der Sar's shirt if the veteran is denied an appearance against his old club.
Cristiano Ronaldo may be taken out of the firing line at the end of a turbulent week in which he was wrongly booked for diving on Sunday against Tottenham before being almost put into Row Z by the over-zealous Steven Taylor at Newcastle on Wednesday.
Ferguson has since complained that his star winger is fair game for referees and there is a suggestion that the Portugal international will be removed from the spotlight at Craven Cottage so that his batteries are recharged for the resumption of Europe's prestigious club competition.
Ferguson has led Manchester United to a record five FA Cup wins and he will not entertain the idea that this is a fixture he would rather do without, but privately he will be yearning to bring a halt to a disappointing head-to-head record with Mourinho which has brought him just one win in 13 meetings - and his starting line-up against Roy Hodgson's men may reflect that.
The wily Scot has already promised his new best friend and, according to reports, potential future successor a bottle of vintage red wine to share at Old Trafford next week.
Ferguson will be hoping there is no sour after-taste if the holders are sent packing.

Jeezy Gives Away Air Yeezy's to One Lucky Kid
Since I might get a headache trying to put Jeezy, Yeezy, and OMGeezy all in one sentence, just watch the video…
Mr. Jeezy was kind enough to hand out a pair of Air Yeezy's to a camper who came away empty handed after the drop in Atlanta. So he does actually Put On for his city you see??

I'm so used to seeing beauty/skin care products with super expensive price tags, that I sometimes forget that few people would actually pay $100 for a jar of moisturizer. The most I ever paid for a skin care item was about $100 for something by Dr. Perricone. It was a total waste of money, because the product did nothing. After that I've become much more frugal with my purchases, although I would still pay $100, or even $500, if a product really did make my all wrinkles go away!! I used to purchase $50 moisturizers all the time, without thinking anything about the price.
I was initially alarmed when I went into Walgreens last week and saw that several moisturizers and skin creams were locked up! These are not "expensive" items, and nothing in the cage was more than $20 or so. But then I realized that almost every beauty product I now use costs less than $20, and $20 is a lot to me, as it probably is to a lot of people. So maybe it's not crazy that Walgreens is locking up their most expensive items.
In the past several years Coach purses and Tiffany jewelry and Dior sunglasses have become so mainstream, that spending $500 on these items seems "normal" and not extravagant at all. So seeing Walgreens telling me that $20 is a lot to spend on moisturizer was sort of a reality check. What's the most that you would spend on skin care products?

'The Core'
Written by Joé McKen on Saturday, March 07, 2009
Major Rebecca Childs (Hilary Swank) learns there are some obstacles you just can't beat (though not many) in Jon Amiel's 2003 The Core.
(NOTE – This is a special review that I've divided in two parts: the actual film review, detailing and reviewing the film itself, the characters, plot, etc.; and the scientific aspects of the film, detailing what's acceptable and what's just ludicrous to the point of hysterical laughter. I've made a separate page for each section.)
Section II/II: Scientific Review of The Core
SPOILER WARNING – This section is a full description of much of the film's more important points, so if you don't want some things to be spoiled for you, read no further!
This is a scientific dissection of the film and it's ups and downs, so if you don't bother to read moderately long texts or don't really care for science, this isn't for you. Also, I'll only detail the minimum, so if you don't understand something you're welcome to do your own research. Wikipedia's always a good place to start. ;) Much if the information in this section is a combination of my own findings, and mostly what I learned from Astronomer Phil Plait's own wonderful scientific dissection of The Core over at his site/blog, BadAstronomy.com.
This film contains both adequate and acceptable bits of science, and other (more) bits that just seem rather off-putting in terms of accuracy, so in that spirit I've separated this dissection into three parts: the Good, the Uncertain, and the Bad.
Color-code key:
Green = Entirely/mostly accurate and acceptable
Blue = Borderline accurate/false (has some truth and some inaccuracy to it)
Red = False & inaccurate
The Good
Earth's moving molten iron outer core can change and lead to the collapse, temporary or permanent, of the electromagnetic field
The film states that the Earth's outer liquid spinning core can change or stop in one way or another, which could trigger the Earth's EM field to collapse, either temporarily or permanently.
• This is actually (mostly) true, and in fact, the Earth's magnetic poles (which are of course governed by the EM field) have actually suddenly reversed several times in the planet's history. This is not well understood, and it seems to happen every few hundred thousand years or so.
• Note that life still exists on Earth though, so obviously cosmic radiation didn't kill the Earth's life systems during any of these 'frequent' reversals.
• In fact, this scenario is a large part of the popular 'Doomsday 2012' hype that states the end of the world will occur at the Winter Solstice of 2012 (December 21, 2012, to be precise). One of the more popular scenarios is another sudden pole reversal; in fact, this is founded in scientific fact, as many scientists do indeed estimate that a polar reversal could quite possibly occur in that timeframe. Considering we don't yet know the true effects of pole reversals, this could be either ineffective, or catastrophic (though not an extinction-level event).
Current deepest hole ever dug was 7 miles deep
In the movie, Dr. Keys argues against the idea of travelling to the Earth's core, saying the deepest humans had ever gotten through the crust was about seven miles, with a two-inch drill bit.
• I don't know about the 'two-inch drill bit', but the seven miles bit is entirely accurate. He's undoubtedly referring to the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a Russian project that was to dig the deepest hole they could (I can't find any website listing their potential motivations for doing so).
Using a peach as a model of the Earth's interior design
In his explanation of how bad the Earth's electromagnetic field disintegrating would be for the Earth and anything on it, Dr. Keys illustrates the Earth's interior with a peach he cuts in half: the skin is the crust, the meat is the mantle, and the pit is the core.
• This is actually a very accurate representation of the Earth's interior compared to scale. The skin is about as thick as the crust would be for an Earth that size, and so is the mantle, and the core (the outer core in this case). (Not sure the Earth would be as tasty, though.)
The Uncertain
Space Shuttle rotation
In an early scene, we see a NASA Space Shuttle in orbit quickly flip rightside-up from upside-down relative to the Earth with its little jets, in about 10 seconds.
• The jets ('reaction control systems') aren't that powerful in real life, and it takes quite a while longer for a Space Shuttle to flip a whole 180 degrees, somewhere in the range of between 20 seconds and nearly two minutes.
• However, this is a movie with an audience after all, so it's understandable that even if the writers knew this, they could've just sped it up somewhat so we don't spend over a minute slowly watching the Space Shuttle right itself.
Earth's collapsing electromagnetic field opens door to deadly cosmic rays
As the Earth's electromagnetic field slowly but surely becomes unstable and eventually collapses, deadly cosmic rays will reach the Earth and kill everyone.
• 'Cosmic rays' is a very general term used to designate everything that's whizzing around in Space, from protons (light) to helium (mostly-harmless gas). Most of these are actually quite inoffensive to humans and the Earth and probably wouldn't even be noticed should they hit.
• There are some cosmic rays that are actually dangerous or lethal to life, but even without the electromagnetic field, most would be stopped by the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in low damage, if any.
• There are, however, extremely powerful Gamma Ray bursts that occasionally go off in Space, shooting horrendously massive amounts of cosmic rays that would completely wipe away the Earth's electromagnetic field and part of its atmosphere, and, indeed, kill much of life on Earth, depending on the proximity to the Gamma Ray blast. This scenario is suspected of being responsible for one of Earth's largest-ever mass extinctions, the Ordovician-Silurian extinction event. Thankfully, these are extremely rare, as demonstrated that only one has ever hit the Earth in the planet's existence, so it's safe to assume we won't have to worry about another one anytime soon.
Earth's spinning molten iron outer core moves at '1,000 miles per hour'
The film states that the Earth's spinning molten iron outer core rotates at about '1,000 miles per hour'.
• No, it's slower by about half. It's actually estimated at about 550 mph, considering it takes about 24 for the mass to do a full rotation across the outer core's roughly 2,200-mile-wide radius.
• It's possible the line was just used as a hyperbole meaning 'high speed', such as when one would say 'I broke the sound barrier getting here!' to mean they just drove really fast.
Super-suits that can withstand the mantle's heat and pressure inside a geode
The Terranauts' suits can withstand the incredible pressures (estimated in the film as roughly 800,000 pounds per square inch) and temperatures (roughly 5,000 degrees, in the film), yet still allow the crew a fair amount of agility and flexibility.
• Of course, realistically this is simply ludicrous. Any suit built to withstand those sorts of pressures and temperatures would a) be impossible with today's materials and technology, and b) even if they were built, they'd be incredibly tough and thick with insulation, rendering flexibility virtually nonexistent. You'd be in a sarcophagus. Conversely, any suit allowing you to bend and move would be too thin to provide any sort of insulation or protection against the heat or pressures.
• But of course, this is Sci-Fi, and naturally we had to see the Terranauts get out of the ship at least once or twice while they're inside the Earth, so of course some leniency can be expected.
A gigantic geode deep in the Earth's mantle
Deep in the mantle, the crew fall into a gigantic geode, thousands of feet across.
• How could such a large empty space survive, or even form to begin with, in a place as extreme as the mantle?
• HOWEVER, the writer of The Core himself states that scientists have once found a mile-long geode in the shallow depths of the mantle, which, if true, would certainly prove this as possible and imply that perhaps even larger geodes could be possible. However, there are no other links or mentions of this find anywhere else I could find, so one should perhaps take this statement with a grain of salt until it's confirmed. Read this interview here. (Warning: lots of explicit language that may offend certain folks.)
Bodies float on magma
In the geode scene, when Commander Iverson is killed by a falling rock through his helmet, he falls into the magma and is sinks into it.
• The human body is roughly the same density as water, whereas magma, being molten rock, is roughly the same density as, well, rock. Rock being denser than water, Iverson's body should've floated on top of the magma instead of sinking into it, like a cork would float in water while a rock would sink. Density matters.
• However, it was possible that Iverson's body actually burned and melted away by the magma, in which case what we see isn't actually the body sinking into the molten rock, but burning away until there's nothing left. It's hard/impossible to tell which for now, so I'm labelling this as 'uncertain'.
How the Golden Gate collapsed after melting under a microwave beam
In the movie, a sudden ray of microwave radiation hits San Francisco through a hole in the Earth's EM shield, cutting right across the Golden Gate Bridge's central span, melting the deck and the cables until it collapses, the towers leading into the span.
• This contradicts how a suspension bridge actually works. The cables and their supporting pylons are continually under an immense amount of load-bearing stress as they carry the entire weight of the deck below. If the deck suddenly collapses and the supporting cables suddenly snapped, the cables would violently recoil outwards, towards the shores where they're anchored at, which would pull at the towers to bend towards the shores instead of into the gap. Imagine you playing Tug-o'-War against a tree. If the rope suddenly snapped, would you be sent flying towards the tree, or in the direction you were pulling?
• However, it's possible the destroyed bridge shot was meant to imply that the towers themselves had also partially melted and weakened, causing them to lean in one direction or another without just snapping off.
Multiple bombs would create a ripple effect in a single direction, pushing the outer core liquid to rotate again
The crew's 'Plan D[1]' (long story) ends with them leaving behind five individual 250-megaton bombs (which, combined, formed the original 1,000-megaton bomb) which, detonated at precise intervals, would create a converging ripple effect through the core and restart the spinning motion.
• I'm no genius in physics, but this seems faulty to me. I'm marking this as 'uncertain' for now because I simply don't know if this could work and I don't really have a model of the core to test it on, but my guess would be it would just be like 5 cases of the original bomb: the ripples, even from 5 separate bombs, would just bleed away in all directions inconsequentially.
The Bad
Space Shuttle sonic boom
In the Space Shuttle off-course scene early in the movie, as the shuttle roars over a baseball match in downtown L.A., a sonic boom is heard.
• Sonic booms only occur when an object surpasses the speed of sound. That Shuttle was going much slower than Mach 1, so no sonic boom would've been heard.
Space Shuttle off-course
In the Space Shuttle scene early in the movie, a momentary glitch in the Shuttle's navigation and positioning systems (GPS on overdrive) result in the shuttle being off-course by 130 miles.
• There are numerous tracking methods employed to locate a Space Shuttle, far more than a single transponder on the Shuttle itself. If the glitch only occurred on the Shuttle to the Shuttle's systems but not to Ground Control, Ground Control should still have kept a location on the Shuttle quite accurately, and it would've never gone off-course.
Earth's molten iron outer core has stopped rotating
The cause for the movie's scenario of the Earth's EM field to start to collapse is that the Earth's outer core, which is a ball of molten iron the size of Mars spinning at 1,000 miles an hour, somehow stopped spinning, all of a sudden.
• This is simply impossible. The amount of energy held in such a vast moving body as the outer core is equal to roughly five trillion megaton nuclear bombs. Logically, it would require the energy of five trillion nuclear bombs to stop the core completely in its tracks – and probably five more trillion bombs to start it all moving again as before.
• Also, even if it did happen, all that energy would have to go somewhere (basic physics: energy never 'disappears', it just goes elsewhere, changes form). If the core suddenly stopped spinning, the 5 trillion megatons of energy would logically go into the Earth's crust, likely obliterating it into shreds, vaporizing all the oceans on Earth ten times over, etc. Cosmic radiation would be the very least of our problems.
Earth's electromagnetic field is created by a spinning molten iron outer core
The movie states that the Earth's EM field is created as a result of the liquid outer core spinning in one direction at roughly equal and constant velocity all over.
• Yes, magnetism is caused by moving charges. In that sense, a spinning ball of molten iron the size of Mars would indeed create a massive electromagnetic field, but that's not how it's done in Earth's case.
• The Earth's outer core isn't spinning in a single direction; it's actually extremely complicated, with currents and counter-currents of ionized iron and other materials all interacting together to create Earth's EM field. It's less like a fluid highway, more like Rush Hour in Mexico City with cars zipping everywhere in 'controlled chaos'.
• If the writers had tried to be more accurate, they could've simply imagined a scenario where these currents had somehow been destabilized greatly, causing the imminent disruption and collapse of the EM field. This would've been far more plausible.
Earth's electromagnetic field shields us from deadly microwave radiation
In the film, even worse than cosmic rays would be microwave radiation, which would literally 'cook' the planet, killing all life and destroying the atmosphere for good.
• Microwaves aren't actually dangerous at all; they're basically light. In extremely concentrated doses they can cause damage (such as sticking one's hand in a microwave like a friggin' idiot), but microwave radiation from the Sun or from space is extremely diluted and low-intensity, as it makes up very little of the Sun's output. Even if all microwave radiation in nearby Space were to hit us, we'd likely never even notice.
• Also, the Earth's electromagnetic field, being electric and magnetic, only affects rays and matter made from charged particles. Microwaves have absolutely no charge, so they aren't even slowed down by the EM field. It's as though it weren't even there.
A single 1,000-megaton nuclear bomb could push the outer core liquid in one direction and start it spinning again
The original plan was to detonate a single thousand-megaton nuclear bomb in the outer core, which would give just enough push to start the core rotating again in one direction.
• This is utterly ridiculous. Anyone who's ever thrown a rock into a swimming pool knows the water didn't suddenly start rotating in one direction, but that the ripples went out in all directions at equal speed. No single/simple impact, bomb or otherwise, could made a liquid spin in a single direction without sending equally-powerful counter-shockwaves in all other directions. This would just create ripples an waves in the outer core (not necessarily a good thing) and that's it.
• Even if it was possible to push a liquid in a circular container to move in one direction, how could they possibly choose which way the bomb would result in the liquid turning?
Virgil's emergency compartment ejection mechanism
The Virgil is designed so that if a compartment is damaged, it can be automatically jettisoned via an emergency ejection mechanism, preventing damage to the remaining compartments, 'sorta like the keys on a key-ring'.
• This seems very poorly thought-out to me. Okay, so a compartment is damaged. Who's to say it would always be the last compartment? If a central compartment was damaged and was ejected, seeing as the ship is essentially a long cigar tube, any other compartments behind it would also be ejected, damaged or not. They would lose the entire ship for one single compartment being ejected, so this seems like a huge shortsighted error.
The Coliseum (and other structures) explodes after being supercharged by lightening
When Rome is hit by a supercharged lightening storm, the Coliseum is rapidly hit by many jolts of lightening until it 'overcharges' and finally explodes violently into rubble.
• The writer himself admitted, in the interview posted earlier, that this was just for the sake of special effects, and that a more realistic result would be the structure cracking and shattering and merely crumbling instead of actually exploding. Same goes for all those other buidings and statues shown exploding in this scene.
After being punctured, the geode slowly fills with magma
When the Virgil broke through the massive geode's protective cobalt cocoon, the exterior magma slowly opened a relatively small hole through which magma simply poured, slowly filling the geode.
• I very highly doubt the plausibility of this. If they'd punctured an opening large enough for that sort of flow, the integrity of the entire cocoon would've been compromised and it would've all just completely shattered and disappeared under the immense pressures of the mantle magma outside. Same thing as striking a small hole in a window: instead of a small hole, the whole thing cracks and weakens, and eventually shatters.
• Of course, one can understand this was done simply for time restraints; the characters needed enough time to start the ship so they could escape.
Virgil crew communicating with Mission Control through mantle and crust
Throughout much of their subterannean adventure, the Virgil crew are able to communicate with Mission Control on the surface with crystal clarity in transmission and reception.
• Again, this is just Hollywood distorting what in reality would be simply impossible for the sake of the movie's needs. Characters need to communicatem, after all.
The Virgil emerging at Hawaii between two tectonic plates
After finally restarting the core, the Virgil makes it out through an opening between two tectonic plates somewhere near Hawaii.
• Basic geography: Hawaii is located in the center of a tectonic oceanic plate, over a thousand miles away from any faultlines. Its volcanoes are caused by a constant mantle plume, a giant magmatic pocket of sorts that spawns and feeds the islands' volcanoes. There is no way the Virgil could've made it through miles of solid crust rock without its lasers, unless it somehow found a magma chamber and got 'erupted' out of a volcano, which wasn't the case.
• Incorrectly regarded as a goof: many criticize the Virgil making it through the mantle and crust without its lasers functioning (it was running on limited power after Dr. Keys had rigged the ship to be powered solely from its Unobtanium shell). Again in the interview linked previously, the writer explains the ship actually followed magmatic flows through the crust, which were more intense than previously due to the core suddenly spinning again. They just 'went with the flow', thereby not requiring their lasers.
If anyone finds a problem with the movie I forgot to mention or didn't find myself, or if something I 'corrected' here is actually wrong, do let me know, will you? Thanks. :)
Return to Part I/II: Film review of The Core
Edit – thanks to Aimee for a quick correction.
* * * * *
[1] Plan A: use the single 1,000-megaton bomb to restart the core (failed). Plan B: trigger Destiny (Deep Earth Seismic Trigger Initiative – DESTINI) to try and restart the core's spinning (sabotaged by 'Rat' the cracker). Plan C: 'Restart the core somehow' = using the multiple-bomb scenario. Plan D: same as C, but sabotaging Virgil's emergency ejection mechanisms to eject individual compartments with the bombs in them (success!).

Air Force wants to train in state forest
CARRABELLE — The Air Force is planning to ask the Florida Forest Service to allow special operation troops to train in a Panhandle forest.
The Air Force wants to use Tate's Hell State Forest in Franklin County to train troops stationed at Eglin Air Force Base.
According to The Tallahassee Democrat, officials say such plans are from final.
The training may never be allowed if it will harm the environment or compromise forest management plans. A draft environmental impact statement is in the works.

implications of this research are that future energy-conservation campaigns should stress the comfort-related benefits of home insulation as well as energy savings rather than focusing solely on the cost-effectiveness of insulation. It is concluded that consumers are making rational choices but ones that go beyond a straightforward tradeoff between financial costs and benefits.
Since 1977 a major energy efficiency program for the domestic sector in Britain has been the promotion of basic insulation in homes. The program has two components: a grant scheme for approved insulation measures including attic and hot water tank insulation, and campaigns in the mass media with the general themes that energy should not be wasted and that insulation is cost-effective in terms of energy-cost savings against capital outlay.
Such an energy efficiency program, which is typical of many countries (cf. Joerges and Mueller 1984) carries certain assumptions about the way consumers manage their household energy budgets. Consumers, it is assumed, could be rational economic actors and use less energy if only they knew "what to do" about their energy use and found that "what to do" was in their economic interest.
Thus, on the one hand, media campaigns improve the flow of information and advice, thereby providing the knowledge for rational choices, while on the other hand energy price rises or subsidies for insulation make energy-saving investments more attractive because both act to make such investments more economically advantageous by reducing the payback period. During the period of this energy efficiency program the penetration of insulation measures in the housing stock has increased. In 1977, 56 percent of homes where attics could be insulated were: by 1982 the figure was 83 percent. Similarly, hot water tank insulation has increased from 75 to 90 percent. For other insulation measures that have not been grant-aided the participation rate is lower: cavity wall infill stands at 10 percent and double-glazing 20 percent. These measures are not only ineligible for grants but also entail both higher capital costs and longer payback periods. There is no available evidence on the extent to which the increases in attic and hot water tank insulation can be attributed directly to the government program. However it is possible to assess whether the implicit model of consumer rationality
