It's been more than a decade since the plushest couch at Central Perk was occupied, but I still consider the Friends cast the comic ensemble that dreams are made of. Whether they were all together or paired off, the chemistry never stopped. Some Friends duos have their immediate and obvious list of greatest hits, and I'm talking, of course, about bromance pioneers Joey and Chandler, plus ultimate will-they-won't-they couple Ross and Rachel. But in rewatching the series over and over (and over) throughout the years, there's one Friends tag-team that I don't think gets the respect and adoration it deserves: Chandler and Rachel.
Now, the math has been done. Slate worked out how many scenes each grouping of Friends shared across the show's 10 seasons and by the numbers, Chandler and Rachel are the most infrequent scene partners. Screen time inhabited by just the two of them only makes up 0.7 percent of the show. But can a friendship truly be measured by something as cold and clinical as a mathematical calculation? Nay, my friends. Nay. Chandler and Rachel are so much more than that measly 0.7 percent would have you believe. To prove it, here are the unsung duo's greatest hits; the moments that proved just how ride or die of a pair they really were.
1) The One When They Stole The Cheesecakes
Chandler and Rachel broke bad — real bad — when cheesecakes started mysteriously showing up in the building. They eventually included Joey in their plan to not seek out the desserts' actual owner, but their sweet rebellion came first.
2) The One When Chandler Missed Joey & Rachel Comforted Him
I still feel vaguely traumatized when I remember the rift between Chandler and Joey from Season 2. But when Joey found success and left his roommate and bracelet buddy behind, Rachel was there to pick up the pieces.
3) The One When Rachel Helped Chandler Become James Bond
OK, so the 007 tux didn't fit. But Chandler eventually married Monica in another suit with a starry past and Rachel was a good enough friend to not tell him that it once belonged to Diane Keaton.
4) The One When They Had A Treat Yo Self Day
Because everyone deserves to be pampered once in a while. Even transponsters.
5) The One When They Hooked Up... In A Dream
In "The One With The Flashback," a very bored and still engaged Rachel meets Chandler... and then has a steamy daydream about him. I'm not saying they should have been a thing, but they totally should have been a thing. Also, how did Rachel forget meeting and making out with him at a college party?
6) The One When They Were Pathetic Losers Together
No one should be treasured more than that friend you call when you need a good wallow...
7) The One When They Said Goodbye
There's always that one friend who'll miss you the most when you're gone. Almost as much as I miss all of the duos from Friends.

Red Bull Racing and Renaultsport F1 have extended their successful partnership for a further five years. The new fuel-efficient 1.6-liter V6 turbo engine that will be introduced from 2014 will be incorporated into the framework of an enhanced collaboration.
Building on the existing championship-winning partnership, Renaultsport F1 will continue to supply V8 engines and KERS Motor Generator Units to Red Bull Racing for 2012 and 2013, with the new agreement repositioning the relationship between Red Bull Racing and Renault to a premium technical co-operation.
Within the new agreement, a joint technical venture will be set up, in which Red Bull Technology and Renaultsport F1 will collaborate to develop innovative technical solutions for the V6-based unit that will be introduced from 2014.
Red Bull Technology and Renaultsport F1 will contribute their respective know-how, experience and specialist personnel to the project to achieve a competitive and reliable powertrain to be used by Red Bull Racing and customer teams.
Jean-Francois Caubet, Managing Director of Renaultsport F1, said, "The V6 power units due to be introduced from 2014 represent a huge undertaking and to have the input, resources and vast in-house F1 expertise of Red Bull Technology will help the team at Renaultsport F1 specify, design and develop a competitive unit from the start of the new regulations and optimize its structural integration into the chassis. Having this particular support will, of course, be to the advantage of our other team partners, who will indirectly benefit from the joint expertise of the Red Bull Racing and Renaultsport F1."
Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing Team Principal, said: "We're obviously thrilled to announce this significantly enhanced agreement with the Renault-Nissan Alliance, who we have enjoyed a close working relationship with since 2007. Renaultsport F1 has always been very straight-forward to work with, which has been a contributing factor to the on-going success of the Red Bull Racing-Renault partnership. Together we have so far achieved 22 wins, 32 pole positions, 1130.5 World Championship points and two World Championships. As the relationship moves forward, we intend to build on this and look forward to working with the Renault-Nissan Alliance during future Formula One World Championship campaigns."

Thus far in his administration, President Trump's economic agenda has focused on tax reform and deregulation. Those efforts have doubtless helped keep the fire of job creation burning brightly.
But filling these newly created jobs is a different matter altogether, and some workers have been left behind. For tax and regulatory reform to produce equitable economic growth, we need a robust domestic policy agenda where worker supply and demand go hand in hand.
Unfortunately, this administration has not been able to establish that coherent, focused agenda. There are several ways this can be addressed.
First of all, the president's personnel should be aligned to current needs. A good place to start: Adjust White House staff portfolio assignments to better leverage the agencies' resources. For example, the Domestic Policy Council is relatively small, and a disproportionate number of its staff are assigned to health policy.
Health policy is important; however, the Domestic Policy Council needs to address a broader range of goals, while the Department of Health and Human Services is better placed to continue the important work of reducing the cost of health care and improving choices in the delivery of care.
Second, domestic policy agenda-setting is spread thin through the White House. The Office of Economic Initiatives, headed by Ivanka Trump, has been working on workforce development reforms, as well as a proposal to provide paid family leave to new parents. The president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has been thinking through prison reforms through his Office of American Innovation. The president's senior policy adviser, Stephen Miller, has been point on immigration policy. For the most part, division of labor drives the process, with no unified strategy for tying it all together.
Third, it is difficult to ascertain any semblance of a coherent domestic policy by analyzing Trump's budgets. The blame should not fall on the Office of Management and Budget. The budget preparers do what they do best: align programmatic reforms with overarching fiscal goals. But given the absence of domestic policy goal-setting, the OMB's fiscal documents can't help but send Congress mixed messages. This result: formal policy positions that are wholly inconsistent with the budget.
Perhaps ambiguity is Trump's objective. That way the administration can wait until Congress delivers on a domestic policy accomplishment and then take some of the credit. However, having served as deputy director of this president's Domestic Policy Council, I can honestly say that I would be surprised if that were the strategy. Rather, the main problem is that the president has too many head chefs in the policy kitchen, not enough staff, and no concrete vision of where he wants to go or how to get there.
"Make America Great Again" may be a fine campaign slogan, but it needs to be supported by a robust agenda. The president has an opportunity to demonstrate leadership, by helping to create an environment that not only encourages and enables American entrepreneurs to create jobs but also encourages people to realize their own potential by entering the workforce.
To do this, the president should retool his domestic policy team and give it a new focus that supports the success of the economic agenda. This team should put all of its energies into developing ways to lift up people who have been left behind, helping them participate in the growing economy and receive the benefits of that participation.
This does not require a new set of federal programs or the expansion of current failed programs (as many federal job training programs tend to be). But it will require reforms to the existing system to remove barriers to work, as well as access to job and capital markets. For instance, overhauling occupational licensing restrictions is long overdue. Additionally, the agencies and Congress need to reform welfare programs so they help — not hurt — the people they serve by encouraging work and institutions that promote economic mobility.
At the Heritage Foundation, we have convened a series of workforce development panels, talking with large and small entrepreneurs from all regions of the country. These discussions indicate that employers would quickly raise wages to at least $15 an hour for even low-skilled jobs if only they could find people who could fulfill basic requirements, such as drug tests, and stay on the job for a significant period of time. In fact, to overcome the first obstacle, many employers report that they have already dropped marijuana drug tests as a requirement for employment.
Helping those left behind may not be easy. But the president needs an invigorated domestic policy agenda to get the job done. Without a focused agenda to connect the United States' potential workforce with its entrepreneurs, the economic successes will fall short of their full potential.

1. Best Cup Of Coffee Of The Decade.
( I've helpfully posted a photo of two cups of coffee above, just in case. ) :-)
OK, Paris , April 2007. Sarah and I were having a long weekend, staying in Pigalle - near the burlesque theatres and the Sex Museum! - and enjoying some fantastic Spring weather. One evening we walked into Montmartre and had an espresso outside a little cafe, at the foot of the hill below Sacre Coeur ( see below ). The combination of the surroundings, the beautiful weather, the lovely company and the industrial-strength espresso made this my Cup Of The Decade. Sorry Starbucks, you just can't compete with that!
2. Movie Series Of The Decade.
The so-called Noughties has been a great decade for movies, from Bourne and Bond, to Shaun and Hot Fuzz, to Eternal Sunshine and Atonement. But for sheer spectacle, for intelligence and emotion, for beautiful landscapes and ugly Orcs, for hairy Hobbits and flawed humans, for all these and more..... Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is The One Series To Rule Them All.
3. Local News Of The Decade.
This is quite a self-indulgent one ( And the others aren't? ) 'cos it relates to my home town of Gloucester. Like a lot of people, I imagine, I have a love/hate relationship with my local area. It's easy to feel bored and stifled by familiar surroundings and to only see the negative side of things. Also, as I've lived in the country and the suburbs ( did I mention that? ) and not actually in the city, I often feel disconnected from Gloucester itself, and possibly think of it like this:
The above is a view of the arse-end of Gloucester docks; not very pretty is it? Luckily, the city has received a multi-million-pound regeneration package and the docks area is first to benefit.
The above is a view of the new building-work going on. New shops, restaurants and hotels are revitalising this part of the city and hopefully bringing in more tourist-trade. The bloody recession can't have helped but it seems like a first step in dragging Gloucester into the 21st century, with more to follow for the city-centre, and not before time!
So, that's my extremely random contribution to this meme. I'm sure other bloggers can produce much more interesting work than me, so I'm laying down the gauntlet to the following good people:
Edward @ http://lostinbarnwood.blogspot.com/
Mickey @ http://www.my-silvermac.com/
Let's see what you can do, guys!

Creativity. The thinking process. Where ideas come from. These are things that fascinate me. I'm naturally drawn to articles, books, websites, speeches, and conversations that touch on the concept of creative thinking. I find it amazing how many people start off with a statement like, "I'm not very creative." You know what? They're right!
The biggest measurable difference between creative people and non-creative people is whether they define themselves as creative or not. That observation often takes me on the quantum physics tangent and discussions of Schrodinger's cat. I'll save that tangent for another time. My (admittedly short) attention is on creative thinking right now. It has been sneaking into my world from all sides lately.
Back in the late 80s, I put together a workshop on creativity and presented it to my work group. It went over well enough that I was asked to present it to a few other groups over the course of the next year. It was some of the most fulfilling work I've ever done. People started believing they were more creative, and then, they started being more creative. I felt like an evangelist doing revival meetings. What I learned from that is the secret to teaching: Help people realize what they already know.
Many people believe that creativity is some kind of special power, akin to magic. Really it's nothing more than seeing ordinary things in different, extraordinary ways. Once you get past everything else about it, that's all there is. The essence of creativity. It's not scary when you use that definition.
More to come….

The Himalayan Swiftlet is brown-gray overall with a pale gray rump and a squared-off tail. It belongs to a diverse and confusing group of swifts in the genus Aerodramaus. It is the easternmost ranging species in the genus and the only member throughout much of its range. Smaller than most other swifts in range except for House Swift, which is black overall with a sharp white rump and throat. Tends to travel in small to medium-sized flocks, often swooping low over bodies of water.

GELFAND'S WORLD--Over the past year, Kaiser Health News and National Public Radio (NPR) have been exposing the scourge of surprise billing by emergency rooms and other medical providers.
One woman was bitten by a stray cat and ended up with a bill for $48,512 for her treatment. A girl bitten by a snake at summer camp got treatment that was billed at $142,938. A man who fainted after a flu shot was billed $4700 for his emergency room visit.
The extreme costs of emergency room billing in the United States haven't really been a secret, but the advent of NPR's Bill of the Month series has put a spotlight on the issue, and that in turn has put pressure on legislators. Even the president got involved briefly a few days ago when he appeared at a meeting of people who had been trying to deal with such bills.
The news media that are covering this story have all sorts of well-intentioned advice, ranging from the obvious -- if you have an immediate life threatening event such as that cat bite, seek treatment and don't think about the bill at the time -- but then, instead of demanding a radical restructuring of a harmful system, they try to teach you how to maneuver within the system. For example, they tell you to start by asking for an itemized bill. Then they teach you that sometimes you can get a hospital to negotiate its charges. In the most extreme cases that are publicly exposed on the radio under the Bill of the Month program, the public embarrassment to the hospital seems to be enough to get some of these charges waived or vastly reduced.
I would like to suggest that NPR is overly complicating things. There is of course a workable, long-term fix which would be to institute some sort of universal coverage that has the authority to negotiate billings. Even something as simple as giving Medicare the authority to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs would have gone a long way towards reducing the cat bite and snake bite charges mentioned above.
But for us run-of-the-mill patients who don't have the benefit of a nationally broadcast radio program, there is a simpler way still. The secret lies in reversing the balance of power between the hospital billing office and you, the patient.
We should start with the unexamined assumption that the news media and the law bring to this discussion. It's that medical bills are legitimate charges unless and until the hospital or doctor reduces them. But there is a different way of looking at things. Suppose the patient with the forty-eight-thousand-dollar bill could file a legally binding appeal through the courts? Let's force the hospital to justify the bill and let's put the burden of proof on the medical provider instead of on the patient. That forty-eight-thousand-dollar emergency room charge included $46,422 for anti-rabies immune globulin that wholesales for $4334. What judge would find that reasonable?
The cat bite billing should never have been allowed to go as far as it did, but under our system, there wasn't a solution. Kevin Drum once pointed out that hospitals overcharge because they can.
It's time to reverse that power imbalance. Give the patients (and the health insurance companies) the legal power to question medical billings. Give courts or some designated administrative body the authority to make unreasonable bills go away.
The legislature can back up this plan with laws that forbid bill collectors and credit reporting agencies from taking any action against patients who have suffered from unreasonable billings. Make it so that unpaid medical bills don't count against your credit score, and forbid courts from rendering judgments against patients for their emergency room bills unless the court finds that the bill is reasonable and customary. Whether a bill is reasonable or unreasonable should be something that is subject to judicial review. Such reviews shouldn't be left to the hospital itself. We know how that works out.
There is a lot more to the story than immediate respite from a few cases of total craziness. A system of universal access to health care is far preferable -- a system that puts limits on patient costs while being able to negotiate with providers, pharmaceutical companies, and ambulance services. But in the meanwhile, reversing the balance of power in billing disputes would provide some immediate relief and would create an incentive to the providers to start negotiating in good faith.

Ralph Nader, in a recent public meeting in Washington D.C, including, among his audience, a surprising number of very similar-to-himself past agitators, started his contribution with a liberal criticism of the current American political and corporate systems, basically from the standpoint of the US Constitution, and the Rights with which it had "endowed The People", and, by means of which, only a tiny fraction of the population could (and, indeed, in the past did) right the wrongs, first by concerted agitation, and, thereafter, via the usual legal systems of democracy, to get laws changed to complete the job.
It was an echo from the past, and an inaccurate one too! For, it effectively gave all the credit to small groups of people, like himself, who stood up and fought politically for Justice. But, that wasn't the full story at all!
He never mentioned the Socialist and Communist parties, who, along with the vastly growing Trade Unions, had forced Roosevelt to concede to their demands "OR ELSE!"in the depth of the 1930s Depression. That alone set the tone in which the small groups of liberal "do gooders" could then, for a time, effectively "act for the people". It had never before been the case, before that near-revolution, nor was it the case since that justified "Fear-of-the-People" had subsided, following the Second World War, and the gradual re-establishment of the total dominance of Corporate Capitalism.
Nader didn't mention Capitalism once!
No, it was never liberals like Nader who re-established our rights, but the Working Class in conscious political action, and with a Socialist leadership who knew what they had to do and why! And, it was that leadership that had been attacked and destroyed in the McCarthyite Witch-Hunts that had deprived the Working Class of that vital guidance, and which instead allowed the re-establishment of their own dominance, as of old.
So, Nader's admonishment of the Middle Class liberals for their reticence in fighting injustices was a sure revelation that he would never fight the real enemy and cause of both inequality and environmental destruction - The Capitalist System - in its unavoidable lunge to the Right in response to the major and still unresolved recession of 2008.
Once again it could only be addressed by a dedicated Socialist and genuinely anti-Capitalist leadership of an increasingly rebellious Working Class.

Sea Kayak Routes is a podcast (downloadable audio show) from journalist and Sea Kayak fanatic Simon Willis.
Covering a range of topics, such as equipment, routes and history this is a must listen for all Sea Kayakers. Shows can be subscribed to via iTunes or listened to on the actual pages of the website.
The Sea Kayak Routes website also has a range of useful links to other projects Simon is involved in and is a great resource, particularly for Scottish paddling routes.
As an example, one podcast interviews an expert from Werner paddles and would be worth downloading if you are in the market for some new blades. Possibly a must listen for all Sea Paddlers is the episode interviewing the Coastguard which provides an insight into how they work and how we, as responsible paddlers, can best help the coastguard should we need to call upon their services.
Look out for information on Simon's latest project in a future article.

Remember Myspace Tom? You know, the guy who automatically became your first friend when you signed up for the social-media site way back in 2003? Turns out the Myspace founder, whose real name is Tom Anderson, retired back in 2009 and has dedicated his time off to traveling the world and becoming an amazing photographer.
Anderson posts his travel photos to Instagram under the handle @myspacetom (natch), where his profile reads, "Former 1st friend, enjoying being retired." He's accumulated an impressive 284,000 followers, despite only taking up photography as a hobby four years ago.
Check out some of these shots. Incredible, right?
Anderson says he was inspired to get into photography after taking photos on a trip to Burning Man. "When I looked at some of the shots I got, I couldn't believe they had come from my camera. I was immediately hooked."
Of all the places he's been so far, he says his favorite spot to shoot is Myanmar.
"The place is so wonderfully romantic — an old culture, traditional dress, amazing temples," Anderson says. "I like finding places that feel untouched by the modern world."
He has no plans to slow down, either. His itinerary for the next month includes China, Budapest, and Moscow, and he ranks Africa high on his travel bucket list.
"I'd like to try my hand at photographing the wildlife there," he says. "I have only been to Morocco, never to the Savanna, Namibia, or any of the places with wildlife."
When he's not traveling, Anderson divides his time between Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Hawaii, a place often featured in his photography. He's even sponsoring a contest on Instagram for one of his followers to win a trip to Oahu.
And in case you were wondering: Yes, he's still using the same lo-res pixelated profile picture that he did back in 2003 when he created Myspace.
Never change, Tom.

Working in groups of two, students covered 1/2 of their partner's hand working in plaster gauze.The next day the second partner completed the first partner's hand. The third day they stuffed their own hand with newspaper, shaped the missing side, and plastered the remaining parts. A 2" cuff was added to allow the hand to stand as a sculpture on it own.
Thumbnail sketches were drawn to allow for conceptual thinking processes until the student had decided on his/her own direction for their hand and also maintain a 3-dimentional quality while looking interesting from all sides. Items were brought in from home to add to their sculpture.
Even though each student used the same basic form of the hand, it was exciting to see the creativity and uniqueness of each individual sculpture.

Helping watch aficionados get through what can seem like an interminably long wait before the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie sets the year off to a magnificent start, the exhibiting brands have traditionally used the month of December to offer a taste of the new releases that will be revealed a few weeks later. While it's impossible to detect any kind of trend from the selection shown here, these models will leave fans in no doubt as to the fabulous creativity they can expect from this year's fair. Here's your starter for ten.
Cartier Privé
Recent years have seen Cartier return to some of its most iconic styles and, after the Crash in 2015 and the Tank Cintrée in 2017, it's now the Tonneau's turn. Introduced in 1906, two years after the Santos, it too broke the mould in an era of pocket watches. The skeleton dual time model shown here is pure Cartier style.
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Perpetual Calendar
Designed by a Milanese architect, the Laureato certainly has pedigree. After imposing its mark on the 1970s, it launched a remarked-upon comeback, in 2016, as the trend for vintage-inspired designs raged. Since then, the Laureato has become a flagship collection which Girard-Perregaux is now expanding with a perpetual calendar in steel.
Hermès Cape Cod Chaine d'Ancre
Imagined by Henri d'Origny in 1991 as "a square inside a rectangle", the Cape Cod is written into the Hermès watch story. After lending itself to double-wrap straps, to hardstone dials and to a mat black DLC case, this year sees the arrival of a fresh interpretation. The anchor chain link has been transposed to the dial where black spinels and aventurine interweave, highlighted by a diamond-set bezel.
IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Spitfire Edition "The Longest Flight"
2019 is the year of the Pilot's watch at IWC, a field in which the brand excels since 1936. This Timezoner Spitfire Edition "The Longest Flight" — named after and dedicated to a project that will see a restored Spitfire complete a round-the-world flight — combines IWC's patented Timezoner mechanism into a new in-house automatic movement. Time zones are set simply by rotating the bezel.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel
A white gold case, a midnight blue guilloché enamel dial and the 925 automatic calibre with date and moon phases, a mere 4.90mm high: this 100-piece limited edition is the epitome of elegance. Pride of place goes to the hand-executed guillochage, a craft which Jaeger-LeCoultre has been keeping alive for decades. Enamelling is another technique that now thrives within the Manufacture, where it was reinstated in 1996.
Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph
The Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph returns at Montblanc as two new versions, including this one in steel with an anthracite dial. In honour of the first inking chronograph, invented by the French watchmaker, Nicolas Rieussec, and patented in 1821, both watches display chronograph seconds and minutes on twin discs that rotate under a fixed hand.
Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Néry
Deep-sea diving and exploration are the leitmotivs of 2019 at Panerai, as shown by this Submersible Chrono with flyback function; a professional dive watch in titanium, water-resistant to 300 metres and inspired by French free-diving champion Guillaume Néry. Performance, power and reliability define this ocean-defying watch, which features Panerai's signature crown guard.
RJ Arraw Two-Face
Batman may be every kid's hero, for adults it's the villains that really appeal. Or so it would seem for RJ which is devoting its talents to bringing their twisted souls to life in new releases for 2019. This Two-Face watch is a fabulously convincing rendition of the DC Comics character's dual nature.
Roger Dubuis Excalibur Huracán Performante
Since teaming up with Pirelli and Lamborghini Squadra Corse, Roger Dubuis watches have become race cars for the wrist, with movements inspired by the engine blocks of the legendary Italian automaker's cars and cases styled like bodywork, mounted on Pirelli straps. This Excalibur Huracán Performante is a prime example, with its RD630 automatic skeleton movement revealing an inclined balance wheel.
Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Mécaniques Sauvages Mysterious Animals Tiger
Every watch to come out of Vacheron Constantin's Les Cabinotiers department is unique, the only one of its kind and a masterpiece of craftsmanship and technical skill. Fine line engraving brings stunning realism to the tiger that peers from the dial of this piece, which is powered by the famous 2460 G4 movement. Hours, minutes, day and date are shown on peripheral discs, leaving the dial wide-open to the artist's expertise.

Brittania has a built in 36 note Reuge movement that plays "A Whole New World." She may remind you of Mary Poppins.
There is magic in the Beauty of these dolls and this doll will truly capture your heart. The Xenis Collection dolls symbolize great joy, sadness, love, compassion or merriment. The song in their hearts sing from finely crafted Reuge Musical Movements from Switzerland. Each doll is hand painted and signed by the British Columbia West Coast artist.
Please Scroll down for more information!
Individually crafted by a Canadian West Coast Mother and Daughter team, the Xenis Collection dolls are designed and painted with exquisite detail. There were nine designs in the range and the artists' unique styles captured all of these charismatic expressions. Each doll is dressed in superior velvets and silks. Colors range from soft jewel tones to vibrant red, fuchsia and royal blue.
Musical components are the finest Swiss made 18 Note Reuge movements. (Brittania is one of the few that has a 36 note movement.) Each doll is registered, comes with an Authenticity Certificate and is individually named after a geographical location in Canada (no name is ever used twice) and the British Columbia artist signs and dates each doll on the back of the wood head.
We hope you enjoy these creations as much as we have enjoyed carrying them.
Note: Was nominated to receive the 1996 International Gift of the Year Award in Birmingham, England (Collectibles Category)

Larsens Tented Camp
Within a gated and fenced compound, Larsen's Tented Camp opened in 1987 and was taken over in 2003 by Wilderness Lodges. It offers comfortable tented accommodation under shady trees, to visitors who like to be under canvas but with the security of a more hotel-like set up.
Continue reading our full report on Larsens Tented Camp
Our view of Larsens Tented Camp
We have slightly mixed feelings about Larsen's Camp. The team was one of the most friendly and efficient that we have met in Kenya, the atmosphere very laid-back and unpretentious. However, though spotlessly clean, the camp is dated and a little scruffy, and appears to have lacked any real investment for many years. If you are not too bothered about aesthetics, and the generator's rumble, then the warm welcome and fantastic staff will undoubtedly win you over. We found the guiding here superb, and the riverine forest location, with abundant birdlife, monkeys and large mammal visitors, is very appealing.
Larsen's pool is unusual at a tented camp, but in this climate it's a welcome asset.

Ford Aspire
Measured against other cars in this class, it's reasonably roomy and does have its appeal. It's well-suited for use as a second or third family car, with safety features that take some of the worry out of handing it over to younger drivers. And it's an excellent commuter vehicle - comfortable, durable and cheap to operate. Production: 1994 - 1997

Diagnosing Klinefelter Syndrome
Diagnosing Klinefelter syndrome can be difficult, because not all males carrying the extra chromosome show symptoms. In order to diagnose Klinefelter syndrome, a doctor will perform certain tests. A diagnosis can be made at any time, but the optimal times are shortly after birth or in early childhood. Prenatal testing can also be performed if there is a family history of genetic defects.
Because they often don't appear any different from anyone else, many males with the XXY chromosome arrangement probably never learn of their extra chromosome. However, if a Klinefelter diagnosis is to be made, chances are greatest that it will be made at one of the following times in life:
- Before or shortly after birth
- Early childhood
- Adolescence
- Adulthood.
For males in which Klinefelter syndrome is suspected, a special blood test is recommended to confirm the Klinefelter syndrome diagnosis.
When the doctor suspects that a person has Klinefelter syndrome, he or she may order a special blood test called a karyotype. This test looks at a person's chromosomes and is used to confirm a Klinefelter syndrome diagnosis. The karyotype of a person with Klinefelter syndrome is usually 47,XXY, meaning that an individual has 47 autosomes, two X chromosomes, and a Y chromosome. The usual male karyotype is 46,XY.
In recent years, many males have been diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome before birth, through amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). In amniocentesis, a sample of the fluid surrounding the fetus is withdrawn. Fetal cells in the fluid are then examined for chromosomal abnormalities. CVS is similar to amniocentesis, except that the procedure is done in the first trimester and the fetal cells needed for examination are taken from the placenta.
Neither procedure is used routinely, except when there is a family history of genetic defects, the pregnant woman is older than 35, or when other medical indications are present.

|Cavalia tent, partial view
I'm getting a little more used to life as a widow. It's been a little over two weeks since Stan died and I'm trying to come to terms with all I've been through these past months and weeks -- the whole medical ordeal, the visitation and memorial service, the legal stuff, and carrying on with the house and animals. I've got tons of thank you notes to write and the last of the funeral flowers are fading. But I feel so blessed that I still have project ideas bubbling around in my head that I want to do. Stay tuned as I try to refine them in my mind and make them presentable to the public. I really miss having Stan here to give me honest, man-on-the-street feedback and keep me grounded.
I have lots of widowed role models to inspire me and offer advice. One told me that she still talks to her late husband, so that's what I'm doing. I talk to Stan and it feels more like normal. He very seldom answered me anyway. :-)
I got so teary washing his clothes for the last time and putting them in his drawer knowing I would never do it again. But when I told a friend about it she said, "You can wash those clothes as many times as you want dear." And I guess I can!
I took off my wedding ring, the indentation is still on my finger. Thirty-six years of wearing it doesn't disappear all that quickly. Stan hadn't worn his wedding ring for several years, so now the two of them sit together in the drawer.
Breeding season is here for the sheep. I could tell that Hattie was cycling last week, so I let her in with Hansel. The two of them were inseparable for a couple days and then it was Heddy's turn. I marked the calendar for March 19th for Hattie's lambs. I can't wait to see what she produces! I'm not certain that Heddy was bred, but she would be due a few days after Hattie.
I still have Camille to get bred and then Hansel is free to leave. He's in with Socks, our wether, but they share a fenceline with the ewes so I'll know when Camille cycles and I can just let her in with Hansel. Also if Hattie and Heddy didn't take, I can put them in if they cycle again in the next week or two.
Lots to do today including my annual physical and a meeting with a lawyer. It's finally starting to get light outside so time to get busy.

If you have decided to backpack India solo, cheers to you girl!
You must understand first, that travelling alone is different, in many ways from traveling in a group, or as a couple. when alone, the level of caution and defense goes up, and the subtle art of knowing where to draw the line and where you may be getting too defensive, is something that travelling alone will teach you.
India is a tricky ballgame. The big cities are more accepting of foreigners and their ways, while smaller towns are trying to catch up.
For Western women, the abundance of attention from local men can prove to be an irritant. Being constantly stared at and requested to pose for photos by random strangers can get a bit much.
Here are a few tips to help you make smart choices along your journey.
Rules regarding the opposite sex
Although, in a vast country as India, it is difficult to generalize; In smaller towns and villages, watch your physical space well. Observing physical distance from opposite gender is customary. A relaxed attitude toward physical proximity could be viewed as an invitation for sex; and get you struck with the promiscuous label. Handshakes are fine; hugs only okay when you have known the guy for a while. There are many villages where a brother has never hugged his sister.
Appropriate clothing in India
While it may be okay for you to wear shorts and show a bit of harmless cleavage in your homeland, India is a different story. Here, dress with a lot of skin covered. Long pants or three fourths with a t shirt that covers cleavage should be fine. In religious places like Pushkar and Rishikesh you may attract lesser unwanted attention if covered your head with a scarf.
As is stereotypical, Western women with blond hair get more stares & attention than ones with brunette hair.
Stay Safe
Bon Voyage!
And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
Hi! I'm Shubha, an Indian backpacker with a dream to travel forever.

Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD): A pain in the jaw
TMD: A pain in the jaw
We often forget that our jaws function like any other joint. They have a ball and a socket, and a disc in between. They have ligaments and muscles which work together to open and close our mouths when we chew, yawn, speak, laugh and even kiss.
And, just like any other joint, our jaws can experience problems. Much like our hips, our jaws can get rickety, clicking and popping when they move, causing extreme discomfort.
This degeneration has a name: Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD).
What is TMD?
Some patients experience pain or discomfort in their jaw, and come up with their own diagnosis of TMD. As well as causing discomfort, TMD limits the range of motion in our jaw. Our ability to open, close and move our mouths sideways is regulated by how far our muscles can stretch. The tighter the muscles, the tighter the joint and the less movement we have.
What are the symptoms of TMD?
The symptoms and severity of TMD vary from person to person. Some people's jaws will lock open every time they yawn: they'll come racing in as an emergency because they have to have their jaw relocated into its socket.
Others may have limited movement due to tightness in their jaw or teeth overcrowding. This has a lot to do with the 'relationship' between the top jaw and bottom jaw: if your bite forms unsymmetrically, you inevitably suffer for it.
It's just like any bad relationship: disharmony causes problems.
As teeth are brought together, the lower jaw closes very tightly against the top teeth, leaving very little room for movement at the front of the mouth. Overcrowding exacerbates the issue, limiting movement even more and placing increased pressure on our jaw joints.
How is TMD diagnosed and treated?
Despite being aware they have TMD, very few patients actually understand what it is and that it can, in most cases, be corrected.
In the case of jaw tightness and overcrowding, a multidisciplinary treatment is commonly suggested. An orthodontist is used to assess a patient's bite and determine if teeth can successfully be straightened and rearranged, relieving pressure between the upper and lower jaw.
In some cases an oral surgeon may also need to be visited. Surgery is used to re-align the entire jaw and ensure all muscles start working in unison. This will stop any muscles spasms as teeth will no longer be at odd positions.
Letting the dominos fall
Our muscles are commonly treated as isolated entities when, in reality, they all work together. Like dominos, if the back or shoulder muscle is injured, then the neck and facial muscles also feel the strain. This can lead to the development of TMD, causing acute jaw pain and stiffness.
Patients who suffer from muscular spasms, such as athletes or individuals with a history of muscular trauma, are recommended physiotherapy treatment.
The treatment, known as trigger point therapy, works by the same logic: by relaxing back, shoulder and neck muscles, facial muscles are also eventually relaxed.
One domino falls, then the next and the next.
What do we look for?
The same metaphor can be applied to the diagnosis of TMD. As the symptoms and cause of TMD vary from case to case, the disorder is notoriously difficult to diagnose. But, by using a process of elimination, an answer can be found.
I always make sure to do a good medical and dental history check and ask all possible questions:
- Have you had undergone orthodontic procedures?
- Have you experienced any trauma or injury? A car accident? Whiplash?
- Do you have any persistent pains?
Often TMD exists as a chronic background issue which goes relatively unnoticed. The symptoms are annoying at most, but they do exist.
It's simply about finding the clues bit by bit and letting the dominos fall.

of work: Chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) pose a significant and immediate danger to genome integrity and cell survival. DSBs can arise through the action of exogenous agents (radiation and chemicals), endogenous causes (e.g., collapsed replication forks) and in the course of developmental programs (Ig recombination and class switching, and meiosis). DSBs are repaired by either nonhomologous end joining or homologous recombination (HR). Both pathways are equally important in most organisms, including mammals (reviewed in Sonoda et al. (2006) DNA Repair 5, 1021)). HR is common to all forms of life and is a multistep process involving many gene products. In eukaryotes, the biologically most important form of recombination is the exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes (homologs) in meiosis (reviewed in Gerton and Hawley (2005) Nature Rev. Genet. 6, 477). Meiotic recombination is the central phenomenon in the genetics of eukaryotes, ensures the proper segregation of chromosomes at the first division of meiosis (prevents non-disjunction) and is the main force shaping the evolution of genomes. In all organisms, homologous recombination is inextricably related to DNA repair and replication. Rad51 and the meiosis-specific Dmc1 protein, both homologues of bacterial RecA (the prototypical homologous recombination protein), have been identified in most eukaryotes including man and mouse, and homozygous Rad51 -/- mouse ES cells are not viable. Thus, the study of RecA homologues should yield insights into not only homologous recombination but also the regulation of gene stability and cell proliferation. In meiosis in all organisms, including mammals (Romanienko and Camerini-Otero (2000) Mol. Cell 6, 975), Spo11, a type II-like topoisomerase, cleaves the chromosomal DNA at many sites (a couple of hundred or more in mammals) in each and every nucleus (reviewed in Keeney and Neale (2006) Biochem. Soc. Trans. 34, 523). In mammals there are more endogenous DSBs in meiotic nuclei than in any somatic nuclei in the life of an organism, by a factor of at least 100. Hence the entire arsenal of the HR machinery invoked in somatic cells plus additional meiosis-specific proteins are required for the efficient repair of DSBs in meiosis. These include p53, Brca1, Brca2, Rad51, Dmc1, Atm, Atr, DNA-PKcs, Chk2, Nbsl, Mre11, Rpa, Blm, etc. Spo11 is required for meiotic chromosomal synapsis in S. cerevisae. Surprisingly, Spo11 homologues are dispensable for synapsis in C. elegans and D. melanogaster yet required for meiotic recombination. We have generated a SPO11 mouse knock-out to investigate the biological function of this gene in mammals. Disruption of mouse SPO11 results in infertility. Spermatocytes arrest prior to pachytene with little or no homologous synapsis and undergo apoptosis (Romanienko and Camerini-Otero (2000) Mol. Cell 6, 975). Surprisingly, Spo11 heterozygosity rescues the meiotic prophase arrest seen in mice lacking the Atm (ataxia telangiectasia, mutated ) double-strand break signaling protein (Bellani, Romanienko, Cairatti and Camerini-Otero (2005) J. Cell Science 118, 3233). Most recently, we have used a rabbit monoclonal antibody to the Spo11 protein to confirm that in fact most of the Spo11 protein is expressed late in prophase I and is found in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, we have been able to show that it is the alpha-isoform that is most abudantly expressed and that is expressed late. Finally, we have reexamined the expression profiles of the two major splicing isoforms of Spo11, Spo11alpha (exon 2 skipped) and Spo11beta found in both mice and humans. Our data argues for a major role for Spo11beta in introducing the breaks that initiate meiotic recombination. Furthermore, we find that Spo11alpha is the form that is most expressed but mainly after the DSBs are introduced and this expression is seen in both spermatocytes and oocytes. We propose a role for Spo11alpha in mid- to late prophase, presumably acting as a topoisomerase, in both male and female meiocytes. In order to understand the role of SPO11 α, we have generated a transgenic mouse carrying a BAC with a modified Spo11 locus inserted ectopically into the genome. We were able to detect over-expression of SPO11 αin a wild type mouse carrying the transgene and found that over-expression of SPO11 αdoes not affect meiotic progression. We found that even though SPO11 αis expressed early in a Spo11-/- Spo11α+/- transgenic mouse, it fails to rescue the meiotic arrest characteristic of the Spo11 knockout mouse. This supports the notion that the SPO11 βisoform is responsible for introducing the breaks. At the moment we are trying to address whether SPO11αis able to rescue the KO phenotype after introducing DSBs exogenously. We plan to generate a knock-in mouse where the endogenous Spo11 locus would be replaced by the construction expressing only SPO11 α.

Just in time for Mother's Day, The Ultimate PC Primer is a newly released resource for those who have struggled to get their mother, father, or other older relatives and friends to consistently understand personal computers. Using analogies, stories, and illustrations that compare core computing concepts to real-world things, the book is intended to bring both new and existing PC users to a baseline of knowledge and understanding so that family, friends, and tech support can at least have a "same language" dialog. It's not a miracle fix — no computer book can be — but it's a starting point that everyone needs. With its reasonable price, it can easily be purchased along with one of the thick, traditional "how-to" computer reference books.
If you're one of those people who have struggled to get mom or dad to understand computing, and you've found other resources to be too complicated or too technical, give it a try. While it's largely written for those who are newer to managing their own computing experience — retirees from non-technology-centric fields, senior citizens, etc. — it would probably also be a great help to those needing to come out of retirement into the workforce again who might never have needed to depend on PC skills before.
It is available via Amazon or the publisher today, and within a month it should be able to be ordered through any major U.S. bookseller.
