If you're designing a website aimed at teenagers, you'd better not make the text too small. That's not because teens have bad eyes, but because teenagers tend to lean back in their chairs when they're at their computers. That advice and much more about how websites for teens should be different from those for adults can be found in a study recently completed by Jakob Nielsen, a principal at the Nielsen Norman Group. —Daniel Terdiman —What Websites Do to Turn On Teens (Wired)
Another intersting passage, since students dont' blog anonymously at SHU's site:
Also important, [Susanna Stern] said, is enabling teens to explore their identity by providing them with an environment in which they can experiment with ideas of style, the way they talk, the way they dress and the way they think about the sensitive issues in their lives — all anonymously.

Kriel cleared by SANZAAR hearing
Kriel was cited for a late tackle on Stormers flyhalf Robert du Preez, in the 26th minute of his team's historic win.
Kriel is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4(o): Late-charging the Kicker.
The SANZAAR hearing held via video conference on Wednesday was heard by Andre Oosthuizen (Chairman), David Croft and Eroni Clarke.
In his finding, Oosthuizen ruled the following: "Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including from the player and submissions from his legal representative, Frikkie Erasmus, the judicial committee concluded that the red card threshold had not been met to satisfy the citing and that the on-field yellow card was sufficient.
"The judicial committee found that the player came into contact with the opposing flyhalf in the course of the player attempting to charge down, that his action did not amount to an intentional late charge or obstruction and accordingly had not committed a transgression of Law 10.4(o).
"The player is therefore free to resume playing."
Kriel said he was "very thankful" for the way in which Sanzaar and the panel handled his case.
"I am just focusing on the game at hand against the Jaguares at home at Ellis Park this weekend."

IntroductionIn January 2016, I participated in my second game jam. I attended the Global Game Jam at Northeastern University in Boston. I'm writing this retrospective a bit late, but I wanted to make sure I made one as a follow up to my last one.
Overall, this event was unsuccessful. But nonetheless, it was a learning experience.
What went well?Game design: Once I had found a team, it was full of people who were friends, fairly positive, creative. For most of the days of the jam, we had a sectioned off room that had plenty of whiteboards. We utilized those boards to draft out UI and mechanics. We discussed design and edited to try and account for limited time and resources.
Coordination with other coder: I paired with a coworker (a goal from my last retrospective) with the coding work for this jam. We both had felt the pain of trying to coordinate coding commits on a game built with Unity3D. We did well to split up the tasks and flag when we were making commits to help minimize the weird conflicts that can be encountered when using Unity3D for a time constrained game jam.
What went wrong?Brainstorming: Like the previous GGJ, people were assigned colors to indicate an initial large group. My group initial brainstorming session was led by someone who apparently had game development experience. This leader led us (a very large group) through a sort of rapid fire "say the first word that comes to mind" process. I do not remember my color group was as large as it was this time (easily 50 people). I felt there was no real conversation happening and maybe that was a good thing for 50 people. But I lean towards thinking that the way my brainstorming session went in the previous jam was better, where the group broken in small groups, timeboxed mini brainstorm sessions and rotated groups and repeated; eventually, leading to a entire color group listing and conversation of the best ideas.
Idea submission: After the brainstorming session, everyone was asked to get in a very (too) large group and share each groups best ideas. We did not do this large group discussion last time. I think a big flaw in general with the early part of the jam was a scaling issue--trying to do something with too large of a group without breaking down into reasonable groups. Also, there was some kind of push to use Slack to communicate game ideas and form teams. I think it would have been good had I or most people participating had used Slack before. But when the proverbial gun shot fired and the words "form teams" was declared, people scrambled. I have a sense that most people did not use Slack for this part. I was able to find a team that already had an idea (one which did not really fit the "Ritual" theme for the GGJ), verbally looking for coders.
Team creation: I think the Idea submission and Brainstorming sections more or less express the problem with forming teams.
Wireless connection: I experienced the same network problems I had the previous year. Granted, there is some blame on the configuration of my work laptop, as most people did not have this problem. But again, it was a huge time sink to overcome, both times requiring me to plug into an Ethernet jack. This time an Ethernet jack caused me and my fellow coder to actually base ourselves spatially distant from the rest of our teams--that had a significantly negative effect on communication.
Food: Meals were not provided this year, as opposed to last year. Instead, a bunch of junk food was available at times. I suppose it could have been worse. But it seems in a short amount of time in a place which is far away from home, having quality food around is pretty important, as there is a temptation to ignore this vital human requirement.
Sounds & music integration: Biggest issue here was that we never integrated the sound and music that our musician created. When visual asset integration failed, there was no priority given to audio. It was just a matter of time and resources. The art integration process we used made it appear as though the coders were indeed a bottleneck.
Experiments & goals for next time
- Everyone have a GitHub account: This experiment was one from the last retrospective. I brought up the idea but it seems people who are not coders do not see value in this idea. How do I convince people otherwise? Require that everyone knows how to code? As in, build a team mostly of coders who can create assets--hybrid roles?
- Ask artists to integrate assets: Related to the GitHub account experiment. It would be nice if artists could add their art to the game. Even if this addition is just ensuring that the art is in the game and the game loads it--not necessarily applying it to game elements.
- Integrate assets as soon as possible: From both game jams, I experienced weird chain reaction effects from integrating assets, such as scene scaling and translation problems. It is probably best to plan and deal with such issues earlier than later.
- Distributed & multiple roles: This experiment was one from the last retrospective. I think I have pretty much expressed this idea in the previous experiments.
- Stay away from Unity3D: This experiment was one from the last retrospective. It is also increasingly nearly impossible to do when joining a jam with strangers. I see two ways of supplementing this inevitability: 1) Ensure that a Unity3D based team has lots of coders who know that framework well and way better than me. 2) Only team with people you know personally, who all know an alternate 2D framework (like Phaser).
- Make a simpler game: The game idea was seemingly simple, but it had a lot of elements. In fact, it was pretty much an attempt to make something that could be evolved into a MOBA at a later time. This goal is easier said than done.
I am already seeing patterns in participating in game jams. In order to have a successful game jam, it is clear that repeat problems need to be overcome. I do not think I will be participating in the next GGJ at Northeastern University. If anything, I may pick a different location; hopefully that would solve the network issues.

OXYMAT 64 can control the measurement of oxygen concentration in the smallest tracks, even down to the smallest measuring area of 0…10 ppm. This is for special interests in arrangements for the aerial decomposition, in the technical gas production and with the welding from high-alloy steel, titanium and others under protective atmosphere. Other application possiblilities come up in hardening shops, in the chemical industry and the food industry.
OXYMAT 64 works with ZrO2 sensors, which is measuring gas with steady flow through a 650°C heated, pipe-shaped sensor. The outside of the sensor is put out in ambient air and works as an authoritative electrode. By the concentration differences on both sides rules a different partial pressure. Since ZrO2 is led electrically with 650°C, an ion wandering occurs in the direction of the lower partial pressure. A potential difference arises between both electrodes where a measurement of the oxygen concentration in the measuring gas is achieved.
Depending on the application a catalytic inactive ZrO2 sensor and a catalytic active ZrO2 sensor are both available and operation is intutive with menu-driven operation.

8. Johnny Unitas, Colts, Chargers, 1956-73
When he first came into the league, people didn't know how to pronounce his name. But by the time Johnny Unitas retired from the league, he became the guy that future quarterback legends were compared to. Between 1955 and 1973, Unitas was named to 10 Pro Bowls and seven All-Pro teams. He's one of only four players to win the NFL's MVP award three times. For all his career accolades, Unitas is probably best known for leading the Baltimore Colts over the New York Giants in the NFL Championship game in 1958, which is often referred to as "the "greatest game ever played" and credited with sparking the interest in professional football in the United States.

Friends, in an effort to ward off the chill of March and April, as well as conquer many of the projects that I've been admiring on Pinterest/cutting out and leaving in dusty piles/dreaming of for months, I'm bringing back my 30:60 challenge starting March 1. 30 projects, 60 days. This time, I'm not just limiting myself to scraps. I plan on mostly working from my stash, aside from a few projects that call for fabric shopping (and minimal shopping at that).
I decided to revist the challenge after noticing how many projects still get used regularly. It was definitely a good motivator to get things done, and I reflect on it often when I use/wear these favorites:
The lavender sachets (these still smell fantastic!)
I've already got a list going of projects that I definitely want to tackle in the next 60 days, but I think I am most excited about the first one. Stay tuned for 30:60 starting March 1 and lasting through April 30!

Kanye West angered fans at a U.K. music festival on Saturday (06Aug11) after he arrived late, suffered from voice problems and ranted onstage.
The Stronger hitmaker headlined The Big Chill event in Herefordshire, England, but his set was marred by a series of mishaps.
According to Britain's The Sun, the hip-hop star was late to arrive and struggled with a sore throat, before launching into rants about the music industry, claiming critics have treated him like he's "insane".
He told the crowd, "This is my most important gig of the summer but I'm really frustrated. I only have half of my voice. I just want things to be right. This is the reason we started half an hour late.
"There is so much bulls**t going on in the music industry right now. Someone needs to make a difference... People treat me like I'm insane."
Fans grew angry over Kanye West's behaviour, but he managed to win them over with a tribute to Amy Winehouse, branding the tragic British soul star a "beautiful queen" and singing her hits Back To Black and Tears Dry On Their Own.

I have heard that it is parents obligation
to arrange for marraige of adult children and if they fail to do so, punishment for any
sin committed by children is given to the parents.
Secondly, if anyone indulges in sex (not intercourse) with honest intentions to marry that person later, then is the sin committed by them forgiven? How bad is it for a muslim to do so?
Praise be to Allaah.
In answer to your second question, to say that it is permissible for a man to engage in a premarital physical relationship (even if it does not include intercourse) with a woman who is not permissible for him, claiming that he intends to marry her in the future, is total and utter nonsense. This can never be allowed by sharee'ah, and there can be no legitimate relationship until after the completion of a legal marriage contract according to Islamic law (i.e., nikaah).
I sent your first question to Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abd al-Rahmaan al-Jibreen, and he wrote back to me with the following answer:
Yes, it is a duty on the father to keep his children chaste by arranging their marriages, and spending on them and clothing them, if he is able to do so. If he is not able to, but the mother, grandfather or grandmother is able, it becomes that person's duty to arrange the marriage. If the son cannot afford it but he has the ability to earn a living, it is his obligation to do so, in order to keep himself chaste. And Allaah knows best.

Eliza Coupe is an American actress probably best known for her role on the series "Happy Endings." She is set to star next in the USA Network pilot "Benched" as a corporate attorney who has a nervous breakdown and ends up working as a public defender.
Eliza Coupe grew up in New Hampshire and suffers from dyslexia. She is of French heritage. She described herself as a tomboy. "I was pretty brutally picked on for a while growing up. It was always the really pretty girls, the hot girls and then there was me. So I had to do something to get any sort of attention. I became like the 'best friend' to the guys."
In 2003, she toured France playing a soldier in an all-female version of King Lear.
Eliza Coupe made a name for herself with her one-woman sketch show "The Patriots" which won her the breakout performer award in 2006 at HBO's U.S. Comedy Festival (dailymail.co.uk). "It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I did five characters and each of them were about five minutes long."
She earned an undergraduate degree from the California Institute of Arts. She has her State's motto "Live Free or Die" tattooed on her arm, as well as a feather on the inside of her arm and clock gears on the backside of her arm.
Related: The 30 Hottest Women From California.
She also performed as part of the Upright Citizen Brigade Theatre in New York along with "Happy Endings" co-star Casey Wilson. Her other roles include parts in "Royal Pains," "Scrubs," "Samantha Who?" and "Community," among others. She has appeared on Funny or Die in "Frenemies." Her role on "Scrubs" was only supposed to be a four-episode guest spot, but it grew into a regular, and nearly a spin-off.
For her role in the film "Shanghai Calling," Eliza had to learn Chinese. She said, "I'm pretty fearless when it comes to roles…but I had no idea how hard Chinese is. I'm not a mathematical person and it's a very mathematical language."
In 2013, she was served with divorce papers from her husband since 2007, Randall Whittinghill. Around the same time, Eliza deleted her Twitter account. On Twitter she had admitted to a stalker-ish fondness for actor Michael Fassbender.
In real life, she says "I'd say I'm a pretty intense person….I really feel that I'm kind of every character that I've ever played; it's just a part of me. And I am a bit of a control freak."
Eliza Coupe resides in Los Angeles.

The item was a signet ring, one of several items found in a pouch on the body of a murdered man (check out what Lucy is holding on the cover). This ring, along with a hodgpodge of other eclectic items, will help identify the victim, as well as his killer.
The signet ring I describe in the book was unusual because it swiveled to allow the wearer to display one of two different images.
I had come across this interesting ring style when I was prowling about on the British Museum's website. The ring featured here is from the early 17th century, and was made in either France or Germany.
When you really think about it, what would be the reason to have a ring with two faces? Boredom? Perhaps. Cost? Unlikely, since a swivel ring might be very expensive to create. Or perhaps, there is something about who you are that you wish at times to keep private, and other times, make public. It is not surprising that certain organizations, like the Freemasons, have used such rings since the early modern era.
This particular ring was probably more ornamental than practical, but I liked the idea that there could be a secret hidden beneath its surface.
This ring is a little more elaborate than I was envisioning though. Not, perhaps, as simple as these more simple masonic rings (a style also found in the 17th century), but somewhere in between.

In mid-November, 1st Battalion the Royal Fusiliers (1RF) was at Paglieta, a few miles inland from Italy's Adriatic coastline. They were using mule transport because autumnal rain had turned the fields into mud and the roads had crumbled under the unaccustomed traffic. In front of them was the Sangro river, 300 yards wide, 5ft deep, turbulent and flooded. Beyond the river were the German defences, a series of heavily-fortified hilltop villages ringed with minefields.
Sappers struggled to span the river as mountain cloudbursts produced a torrent which almost swept the bridges away. As soon as they were repaired, tanks and anti-tank guns were rushed across. On the night of November 27 Warner, then a major, led "C" Company 1RF, supporting 1st/5th Royal Gurkha Rifles, in an attack on the village of Mozzagrogna.
Their way was lit by artificial moonlight and by Bofors firing tracer to mark out the flanks. Mules brought up the 3-inch mortars, reserve ammunition and other heavy equipment. To avoid the minefields, they kept to the track winding up the hillside, but as they approached the village they were halted by a blown culvert impassable to man, mule or tank.
At 1am, while the companies were feeling their way round it, an Allied artillery concentration began, many shells falling short and among the Fusiliers. Warner's company made slow progress, and it was another four hours before it made contact with the Gurkhas who were clearing the village, house by house, and involved in a battle of murderous intensity.
The Gurkhas' HQ was set up at the church in the square, but as Warner led the way there a Mark IV tank and a flame-thrower rumbled into view, the latter showing every intention of setting the church ablaze. A Piat, an anti-tank weapon, was hoisted to an upper window of the church on a piece of string. Only two projectiles were available, but the first hit the turret of the flame-thrower.
When the commander scrambled out, Warner shot him from the belfry. The Mark IV then opened fire, missing Warner but setting the bells clanging. The second shot from the Piat hit the flame-thrower and blew it up. The Mark IV then pulled back.
In a battle fought in cellars, on roof tops, in narrow alleys and behind the angles of broken walls, Warner accounted for three more enemy. When ordered to withdraw, he skilfully extricated his men. Monty met them at the bottom of the hill and said: "Well done, chaps."
During the hours of darkness the sappers worked frantically to repair the culvert, and at daybreak on November 29 Warner led "A" and "C" Companies, supported by 1st/12th Frontier Force Rifles and armour, in a second attack. After more bitter fighting they took the village. By its capture, albeit at a heavy cost, the flank of the German position on the heights above the Sangro was turned. Monty awarded Warner an immediate MC.
Peter Eric Henry Warner was born in London on March 30 1915 and educated at Oundle, where he excelled at cricket and rugby. After Sandhurst, in 1936 he was commissioned into the RF and joined the 1st Battalion in India. After 1RF moved to Egypt, he went to Alexandria to help with the air defences. A bomb once fell on the outskirts and the bomb disposal officer said that it should be left for 48 hours. A senior officer overruled him and Warner, accompanied by two bomb disposal officers, walked towards the bomb.
As they approached it, the bomb exploded. Warner was thrown into the air; when the smoke cleared he found both his companions dead. He was given the afternoon off and told to report the next morning. Warner was appointed MBE for his work in Alexandria, and was later given the job of reconnoitring possible retreat routes across the Sinai desert. He never forgot the look on the quartermaster's face when he turned up with an expense claim for two camels.
He was a company commander with 1RF in September 1943 when it landed at Taranto and he took part in the hard slog up the eastern side of Italy. Shortly after the action at Mozzagrogna, he was wounded by mortar fire and sent to hospital. Later in the war, he received his MBE and MC from King George VI at Buckingham Palace.
After attending Staff College and a spell at the War Office, in 1952 Warner rejoined 1RF as a company commander in Korea. He had seen enough of warfare to realise that he must look after his own creature comforts, and arranged for Fortnum & Mason to send him hampers, which he shared with his comrades.
Warner served as second-in-command of 1RF in Egypt before taking command of the battalion in Bahrain. There they lived in tents in an abandoned oil camp in temperatures that reached well above 100 degrees F. Subsequently half the battalion went to Kenya, leaving a company in the Gulf and a small Tactical HQ in Bahrain.
On retiring from the Army in 1959 Warner became a theatre critic for the Kensington Evening Telegraph, but his parents were elderly and it was difficult to find people to help them; so he moved to Winchester and looked after them for the next 18 years.
He was fortified in this task by his fine sense of humour and, on one occasion, when he was reprimanded by his mother for some minor oversight, he was heard to say quietly: "You would not think that I was recently in command of 1,000 men."
An enthusiastic skier, Peter Warner also took up a number of hobbies, including clock restoration, painting, gardening and photography.
He was unmarried.

You are here
Finding Partners in Your Community
When looking for partners, start with your patrons. Your best allies are the people who are most enthusiastic about your poetry programs. Enlist them in whatever way you can. Of course, every librarian dreams of the patron who will run all over town posting flyers, or produce full funding for an event via their employer. But even a small commitment to take flyers to three locations for every program you offer represents a task you can take off your list. Ask your regulars to be creative – you might be surprised at their connections.
- Look into business leaders in your community. Can any of them be enlisted to support your programs? Perhaps they can give money directly, or perhaps they sit on the board of a local foundation. Maybe they could help by lending their name or their time – by introducing a poet, for instance or choosing a poetry book to be placed within a larger display as their recommendation. Maybe they have connections with the press, or are able to get the word out about the event to their employees. Perhaps they can leverage a reduced price ad in the paper they advertise in most, or perhaps they would even pay for an ad directly. Once they're on board with your programming, they may come up with ways to support you that you didn't even think of.
- What about clergy? Like librarians, clergy people have unique access to the ears of their constituencies. Can they announce the event to their congregation? Put it in their newsletter? Can they connect you to groups within the congregation that might be able to support you?
- What about local shopkeepers, hotel owners, and restaurateurs? Can they think of an innovative way to get the word out to their clientele? Can they offer gift certificates in lieu of honoraria? Can they offer accommodations for out of town readers? Can they sell your readers' books in their store to promote the reading? Can they donate refreshments for the reception? As you put together your event, these kinds of non-cash donations can make all the difference.
- What about local social service providers? The women's shelter may not be able to donate money, but they could very well show up with a group of 10 people for your audience. Can you partner with your local community center to offer a series of poetry readings relevant to the different support groups they provide?
- Local poetry venues may be interested in hosting a reading at your library, to help spread the word about their own programs and diversify its audiences. These venues usually have regular customers, just as the library does, many of whom will follow their favorite poets to your library.
- Are there journals and/or small presses in your area that would be interested in hosting a reading or book launch at your library? These publishing ventures are also good sources of information about poets for other programs as well. Check the web or contact a literary organization to find out. Colleges and Universities often publish literary journals. Sometimes reading series curators put out a magazine with the work of poets they've featured. Look in your newspaper listings for reading series in your area. Or, check out the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses. Their member directory is searchable by region. You might be surprised at what's being published in your neighborhood.
- Check out the Poets and Writers website and its searchable database of published poets and writers. Find out who the published authors are in your area.
- Do area schools, colleges and universities have student journals, English or writing programs? They also may be interested in the increased publicity for their students' work a reading at the library will provide. With these programs your audience may include not only your already growing poetry-loving audience, but also the friends and proud parents of the students as well.
- Make friends with the other arts groups in town. Each time you offer a cross-disciplinary event, you expose a whole new audience to poetry. If you're fortunate enough to have a museum in your town, try getting their help to connect a reading with a visual arts exhibit with their help. The participation of the museum will draw their support in publicizing your event, and might even present a joint fundraising opportunity. The collaboration also creates a context for sharing audiences, and an opening for art lovers to embrace poetry and vice versa. If you don't have a museum, do you have an amateur painting group or an especially active individual artist? The same principle holds true for other art forms – music, dance, theater, film – all these disciplines hold crossover possibilities.

Around 10 a.m. EDT a magnitude 4.4 earthquake shook 43 miles northwest of Ottawa, Canada. No damage has been reported at this time.
The quake occurred in the Western Quebec seismic zone. The effects were reported felt from London, Canada, to Montreal, even going into New York and Vermont.
According to Natural Resources Canada, about 450 earthquakes occur in eastern Canada every year. Magnitudes are rarely high, with only an average of four of these quakes exceeding a magnitude of 4. According to AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Jim Andrews, earthquakes have been recorded in this zone as high as a 6.1 recorded in 1935.
"While the quake was unusual, it was by no means unprecedented," he said.

Kimberley Locke is Dating Harvey E. Walden IVMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Kimberley Locke has a new man in her life. Except he isn't that new.
The former American Idol singer and Celebrity Fit Club trainer Harvey E. Walden IV are dating. But he isn't her boyfriend yet, Locke insists.
"He's not officially my boyfriend,†Locke said of Walden IV, who is currently in the midst of a divorce. "[His divorce] is why we're not a couple yet. That is my rule. Whether you're separated or married — whatever — I would like it to be cleared up. Until then we can hang out together and have fun together.â€
Locke also says the romance didn't begin until after the reality TV cameras stopped rolling.
"We worked out on the show together for four months and never even said anything to each other,†she explained. "I thought he was mean. I didn't want him to be mean to me, but then after the show was over and I saw him outside of work, he was really nice.â€

The grate outdoors: For backyard kitchens, the sky's the limit – LA Daily News
Mary and Michael Fry redid their entire outdoor kitchen when they moved in and have used it extensively throughout the years. (Photo by Nick Agro, Orange County Register/SCNG)
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet has a section on its website, kalamazoogourmet.com, that details how to create an outdoor kitchen. Under the Design Resources tab, look for Outdoor Kitchens 101.
Whether you grill, barbecue, smoke or saute, cooking outdoors seems to add a special flavor to whatever is being served.
With the summer grilling season here (July is National Grilling Month, after all) consider the options, such as taking your backyard entertaining space up a notch with an outdoor kitchen. According to the Hearth Patio and Barbecue Association, 10 percent of grill owners have an outdoor kitchen, and among those outdoor kitchen fanciers, one-third are likely to be upgrading within the next three years.
Before getting started, find out what permits are needed, how will it be connected to your indoor version and whether home utilities can be easily used.
Are you going to want hot and cold water? Make sure natural gas can be connected. Think function. To maximize space for cooking and entertaining, consider spots for hot zones (grills, pizza ovens), dry zones (food prep and storage), wet zones (sink) and cold zones (refrigerators and freezers).
Decide how you want to use the outdoor kitchen. Do you want just the basics or are you interested in more specialty equipment pieces such as tandoors, wet bars and blender stations? List what you want and divide it into "musts" and "extras" as your budget allows. Call on contractors when needed, but also consider prefabricated modular kits that can be easily put together.
And, since the whole idea is to entertain — either your family or others — don't forget about seating.
Learning from experience
When Mary and Michael Fry of Yorba Linda bought their house 15 years ago, it came with an outdoor barbecue, but one ill-placed and not very functional. When the wind blew, so did the smoke — right back in the cook's face. Since the family enjoys spending as much time outside as possible, they decided to upgrade. A lot.
"We actually have pictures of friends barbecuing in goggles, so we decided to redesign, reconfigure and elaborate on just an outdoor barbecue, with the addition of an outdoor refrigerator, ice maker, warming drawer, side burners, lighting, storage, trash storage, serving, dining and barbecue counters including a sink and remotely expandable awning," Mary Fry said in an email. "We also added an outdoor fireplace for the adults and an outdoor fire ring for the kids."
Outdoor living has been important to her family. The investment has paid dividends throughout the years with the outdoor space being used for client appreciation and charity events, neighborhood gatherings, their son's college graduation party and even a wedding. More recently, it served as a lovely party venue for Michael Fry's Harley-Davidson buddies and their significant others.
The Frys had the fun catered by Jonathan Duffy Davis and Jonathan Dye.
"I am entirely enthusiastic about outdoor kitchens," said Davis, owner of Tule Peak Farm in rural Aguanga, south of Hemet in Riverside County. "Jonathan Dye and I have conducted cooking classes for the last five years. As a farmer on brand-new/raw land, I've spent the last two years planning my incredible 1,000- to 1,500-square-foot outdoor kitchen and event space complete with a 100-year-old wood stove, clay pizza oven, bar and plenty of counter space and seating for guests."
Materials have been purchased and permits are being filed with the county so, hopefully, the outdoor kitchen will soon become a reality for the Toronto native. Tule Peak Farm is a rustic place, and his outdoor kitchen will reflect that.
"We have an incredibly small home but we moved here so we could grow and cook food," he said. "We want to teach cooking, have canning workshops and provide an outdoor venue."
It encompasses 20 acres with vegetables, stone fruits, apple orchards and honey.
"I like hosting different events at different spots on the property," he added.
Eventually, the farm will be home to the event company Table and Field.
"The outdoors has really become a great extension especially here in Southern California," Davis said. "It's a great place to entertain and to escape the heat of the summer. Outdoor cooking is part of the culture here."
Part of a way of life, maybe, but a few instructions wouldn't hurt.
"We see no end in sight for the growing popularity of outdoor kitchens," Russ Faulk, chief designer and head of product for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, said in an email. "Throughout the last decade, we've been fortunate enough to see a drastic evolution in the space, and it's been truly exciting to continue to be at the forefront."
It's pretty simple. Homeowners want to spend more time outside eating and entertaining with friends and family.
"For many of our clients, their outdoor kitchen is their favorite part of their home — and it's easy to see why," Faulk said. "Over time, this desire to create a special place in the home has influenced outdoor kitchen designs to become more refined. They're no longer an afterthought."
The increasingly popular choice also isn't exclusive to the upscale market.
"Over the next three years, I expect to continue to see more outdoor kitchens becoming better integrated with the architecture of the home," he added.
Well-suited for SoCal
Southern California is a hot bed for outdoor kitchens because of the climate. Many are installed in warm cities near the coast. For those clients, Kalamazoo offers appliances and cabinetry that come in a marine-grade stainless steel that helps guard against corrosion.
"Once you've developed a clear vision for the space, the next step is to select the grill," Faulk said. "It's really the heart of the outdoor kitchen. Search for one that really empowers you to be the cook you aspire to be. There are no uniform depths, heights or widths for grills, so upgrading down the road might be a challenge."
Like its indoor cousin, outdoor kitchens vary in size, basics and extras, along with the cost of providing for all of that.
"Our essentials include a grill for cooking, a sink for washing your hands, a refrigerator large enough to support a single meal, enough storage for the essentials, and as much counter-top space as you can fit into the plan," he added. "Focus on the quality, performance and versatility of each product to ensure the greatest enjoyment."

After years, Spring Creek High School grads say goodbye
By Steve Herring
Published in News on June 10, 2012 1:50 AM
News-Argus/TROY HERRING
Spring Creek High School senior Janna Price smiles as she accepts her diploma from Principal Stephen Clingan during the graduation ceremony Saturday morning.
MOUNT OLIVE -- Four-year-old Aiden Howell buried his face in his mother's graduation gown, too shy and too tired to face the crowd.
"He has told me, 'I am so proud of you, Mama," said Brenda Carrillo of Seven Springs, who just minutes earlier had walked across the stage to receive her diploma from Spring Creek High School.
Ms. Carrillo was among the 123 seniors to graduate Saturday morning during a 45-minute ceremony held at Kornegay Arena on the campus of Mount Olive College.
Afterward, the graduates gathered outside for hugs and congratulations from family and friends. Many posed for photos, while others couldn't wait to shed their shoes and hot gowns.
"It feels like it is not real -- like I shouldn't be here," said Ms. Carrillo, who has attended Spring Creek since sixth grade. "It is completely, I don't know, not real. I am so proud of myself though. I plan to go to (Wayne Community) college for cosmetology and then something bigger in the nursing area. I am not sure what yet though."
But first she plans to get a full-time job this summer.
"We have a couple of graduation parties to attend and family suppers, so we have a busy day ahead of us," she said.
Graduate Donnie Rowe of Dudley has attended Spring Creek since kindergarten and has known most of his classmates since he was about 5 years old.
Rowe, who plans to go to ECU to study accounting in the fall, was surrounded by his parents, sisters, uncle, aunt, grandmother and cousins with two reasons to celebrate this weekend.
"I tried to bring the whole family," he said. "Tomorrow is my birthday. I am happy. I was nervous. When I got up there I forgot what I was supposed to do. We were supposed to shake hands with the principal and then smile into the camera. I almost forgot to smile into the camera, I was that nervous. Man, I am a loss for words. This is unbelievable."
For valedictorian Sara Boltinhouse it has all been a matter of time -- time spent in many different ways in school.
"In kindergarten, we used our time to take naps, field trips, and participate in field days," she told her classmates. "As high school students, the majority of our time was used to study for tests, finish projects and complete homework.
"Through it all we somehow found the time to make lifelong friends, participate in various clubs, and join different athletic teams."
Miss Boltinhouse asked her classmates what they would spend their time doing for the rest of their lives.
"Keep in mind that the average lifespan of an American is 77 and a half years," she said. "Thirty of these years you will be fast asleep, three of these years you will be on the toilet, one and a half years you will search for things you can't find, half a year your eyes will be glued to the TV watching commercials, nine and a half weeks you will be heartbroken, seven and a quarter weeks you will be deciding what to wear, six weeks you will be waiting at traffic lights, two weeks you will be wondering what happens after death, and two weeks you will be looking inside the fridge.
"If we do the math, as most of us are already 18, that only leaves us about 22 and a quarter years to do something worthwhile with our time. Use the 22 and quarter years you have left to do something positive for your family, your community, or even to better yourself."
Salutatorian and class vice president Zachary Price said it was time to honor the Class of 2012, marking the end of one journey, and the start of the next.
"We have each been given the tools needed to venture out into this world and go where we want to go and be what we want to be," he said. "The challenge is this -- will we use them? We cannot be afraid to take on new and bold challenges; we must have the courage to chase after our dreams no matter what obstacles we encounter."
Price said he and his classmates have been asked their entire lives what they wanted to be when they grew up.
"We always set the goal for ourselves high, not concerned with challenges that we may have to face," he said. "That is the same mind-set we should still have now. We need to set our future goals high and strive to become whatever it is we desire."

Under the Sea with Ocean Promotion
By Lenette Marie
been an avid snorkeler for many years, I didn't imagine the transition
to scuba diving to be much of a change. Fortunately, I was wrong
I've never enjoyed the beauty beneath the sea so much! And the staff
from Ocean Promotion, my conscientious guides on this spectacular
adventure, were the best!Matt Brown, who runs Ocean Promotion Scuba
and Snorkel Adventures, Inc., made sure I knew what to expect and
ensured I was properly prepared before my first lesson. His attention
to detail was important, to coordinate both the instructor and the
other students. We arrived at Villas by the Sea, in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea,
Florida, to meet our instructor under the resort's shady palms.
The location is convenient and easy to find; close to the ocean
and main arteries of Ft. Lauderdale. We met Kenny Jones, our instructor,
and began learning the basics of scuba safety right away. He quickly
got our group, a mixed bag of young and old, locals and tourists,
from the United States and Europe into the pool. Here we practiced
getting into and out of our gear, and learned how to handle emergency
situations underwater. Kenny was very thorough and competent and
created a relaxed atmosphere where we could learn, ask questions,
and have fun.
hours later we were ready to try our new skills beneath the turquoise
water. Ocean Promotion offers this accelerated Resort Course as
an opportunity to discover the thrill of diving in a day. Full certification
is also available in a three day course at very reasonable rates.
As we left the dock, and floated down the intercoastal waterway,
the charismatic captain of Aqua view welcomed us aboard. Both divers
and snorkelers were anticipating the beauty of the only living coral
reef in North America. Ocean Promotion provided all the gear we
needed including air tanks, masks, fins, and the buoyancy control
device. Snacks and beverages were served on board, too, all we had
to do was show up at the dock!
first dive included an interesting and educational shark feed. After
a brief workshop on the boat, we all met on the ocean floor to watch
nurse sharks in their natural habitat. I was able to feel the sharks'
shimmery reptilian-like skin. Being among four, live, full grown
sharks, without fear, was an unforgettable experience. The snorkelers,
too, were able to view the feeding from the surface. And even those
stuck on board the boat got a treat through the vessel's glass bottom.
Next, we explored the nearby reef and viewed many of the 650 species
of tropical fish that live there. The underwater landscape is lined
with ledges, crevices, and tunnels, perfect for small fish and lobster
to hide from their prey. The variety of sponges, corals, sea fans,
and other plant life is amazing. The endless number of colors, shapes,
and sizes oftentimes delayed me in one fascinating spot.Our
second dive that day was to the shipwreck Copenhagen, located in
a marine preserve. While still a novice, I felt very comfortable
underwater knowing that instructor Kenny was nearby at all times.
We swam along the wreck and the reef for 58 minutes at depths between
20 and 30 feet and never ran out of things to see. I have spent
much time in the water at reefs in the Florida Keys and Virgin Islands,
and this was by far my favorite! The sea life is in its natural
condition, with very little evidence of man's frequent visits. The
undersea world is so amazing!Spying
a turtle, swimming along, was the highlight of my dive, although
the very large southern sting rays were a close second. We also
spotted another nurse shark, barracuda, and many of the crustaceans
usually seen only at a seafood buffet; lobster, crab, and shrimp.
They were certainly more interesting to observe in their natural
habitat. And, of course, the reef was teeming with fish. I enjoyed
the bright yellows and vast shades of blues. Some fish were in large
schools and others seemed to exist as loners. Being inside their
aquarium was a special treat.Heading back on the boat, our group
compared notes of what we had seen in the water. Not a diver in
the bunch was disappointed. The open water provided a scenic backdrop
for the tall and short buildings of Ft. Lauderdale and Pompano Beach.Ocean
Promotion also offers a snorkeling adventure for children. Matt's
sister, Sarah, provides both full and half day Funky Fish programs.
Visit them at their quaint European style resort setting.

Pregnant supermodel Marisa Miller had no qualms baring all for a new magazine shoot because she is proud of her baby belly.
The former Victoria's Secret regular agreed to pose nude for the new issue of Allure, in which the 33 year old reveals she is nine months pregnant and due any day.
She says, "A lot of women try to tuck their butt in or kind of slouch because they're trying to hide. Obviously, you can't suck it (belly) in, but it's important to really show off the belly."
The model admits the most challenging thing about pregnancy has been the weight she has piled on.
She explains, "I had never even owned a scale before... I was seeing numbers I'd never seen before, but I let go of that because I had a new goal and focus. It's an adjustment, but it helps having a lot of positive support."
The California beauty and her music producer husband Griffin Guess revealed they were set to become first-time parents in June (12). The couple wed in 2006.

Could the government shutdown affect the campaign for the Jackson County research tax?
TheFederal Communication Commission
maintains a website that links to the public files of television stations, including those in Kansas City. Among other things, those files contain records of political advertising.
Normally, supporters and opponents of the tax could visit the website and determine how much air time the other side has bought, when, and what they paid for it. Reporters could also see how much of the campaign budget is going for TV time.
But the FCC website is down — a victim of the government shutdown. So the ad buys won't be listed until the site comes back on line.
In the old days, political consultants would travel from station to station to obtain the sales information, and they can presumably do that again.
By the way —Freedom, Inc., has issued a press release opposing the half-cent, 20-year, Jackson County sales tax.

The success of many far-right parties is predicated on a significant public distrust of Muslims. Over half of Danes believe that Islam hinders social harmony; three-quarters of citizens from the former East Germany want to 'seriously limit' the practice of Islam; half of Britons associate Islam with terrorism; four in ten French people see Muslims living in their country as a 'threat' to their national identity; more than half of Austrians believe that 'Islam poses a threat to the West and our familiar lifestyle'.
The populist press has played its role in generating public fears of Muslims. In Britain, which has elected no far-right representatives into its national parliament, the Daily Express and Daily Star blare out hate-filled statements from their front pages on an almost daily basis, characterizing Muslims as a homogenous group hell-bent on undermining the British way of life. 'Muslim Schools ban our culture,' 'Muslims get their own laws in Britain,' 'Sniffer dogs offend Muslims,' 'Muslims tell British – Go to Hell'.
'The media have uncritically incorporated the idea that "Islam equals threat", therefore Muslims are a threat,' according to Liz Fekete, the Chair of Britain's Institute of Race Relations. The media are 'constantly looking for the extreme voice within the Muslim community, because it's an easy peg to hang a story on. So if a small extremist sect that doesn't have any legitimacy within the Muslim community is organizing a protest, it becomes the major framework for any public discussion on Muslims.'
A 'poppy-burning' demonstration on Remembrance Day by the little-known group Muslims Against Crusades attracted a handful of extremists to Kensington in West London, yet made the front page of many national newspapers.

This month I got to interview another one of my favourite bloggers THE PINK THREAD. I have been following Lana Cruz's blog for years now and when I asked her to anwser a couple of question for my blog she was MORE than happy to do it (not only is she an AMAZING dresser, super beautiful and has a SUPER cute husband but she is also sweet and nice)
Here is how our interview went.
Lana:Sorry for the delayed response!! Thank you so much for your interest in my blog and style. It is always so encouraging to hear that I can be an inspiration to people!!
1. What your favourite fashion trend this spring1. My favorite fashion trends for this spring/summer are a lot of basics, simple silhouette's and monochromatic's! On my shopping list is, white skinnies, nude heels, simple stripe sweater, black cami, black maxi dress, white embroidered tops, white blazer, etc. Another trend that I am loving for this season is overalls. I recently picked up a pair of short overalls, but I am also on the look out for a long pant overall as well.
2. how would you describe your style
2.I would describe my style as simple/classic. I feel my best when I have a simple, no fuss outfit on. whether that is dressed up or down, that is when I feel most stylish. Only when I am in the right mood will I adventure out for something eclectic, when I know that I can accurately display a fashion trend with the right items. Otherwise I stay simple, because I know that it will always work.
3. Do you have any bad habits when it comes to fashion ( like being over matchy)
3. I think my bad habit when it comes to fashion is that I "try" too hard sometimes. I need to trust my own sense of style and mood. It's when I try to be something that I'm not, that I always end up feeling uncomfortable. So if I'm feeling simple I need to keep it simple, if I'm feeling adventurous and bold then I need to try something adventurous and bold. I need to pay attention to my moods.
4. what country best suits your style
4. I think the best country that suits me is Europe! I have been to Croatia and the whole time that I was there I was staring at the women passing by me on the street. They know how to wear something simple (there I am again) but make it look as if it is the most glamourous thing you have ever seen. It's also about quality for them, they have simple, few pieces, but they are high quality which makes them look so put together.
5 . and do you think style in europe has improved
5. I haven't been to Europe since 2009 so I'm not sure if I can accurately answer that. But one thing that I can say is that some of my favorite fashion blogs are from Europe and the similar thread that I find between all of them is that simple, classic style that is so fashion forward in my opinion. So I think that Europe is doing amazing things when it comes to fashion.
6. who is your celeb girl crush
6. My celebrity crush is probably Gweneth Paltrow. She is so classy and her style is so easy. I love her cool laid back look and also her stunning statuesque red carpet style. She plays things simple and elegant, which I love!!
Thank you so much lana . Make sure to check out The Pink Thread.

SANTA CRUZ >> The empirical strikes back.
So read one of thousands of witty signs displayed during the March for Science, which had its local version that started at Santa Cruz City hall and poured into San Lorenzo Park on Saturday morning. The march was one of hundreds nationwide.
The area's gathering of roughly 4,000 people was part of a national event with protesters donning lab coats on city streets in the nation's capital, New York City and other metro areas, The New York Times reported.
The protests decry what some consider to be a war on science since the election of President Donald Trump.
"There's a paradigm shift at the national level. There is a lack of respect for facts," Bob Harper of Felton said as he walked from the gathering outside City Hall early Saturday, which was Earth Day. "Our Earth Day needs to be louder than ever."
There were many young people — some scientists and some somewhat mad — at Saturday's gathering and march.
"Today's event for the science community shows that, throughout the Bay Area, we support each other," said Danny Ibarra, a doctoral candidate at Stanford who lives in Scotts Valley. Ibarra, who studies climate change, was dressed in a tyrannosaurus costume. He held a sign showing how the animal's extinction and age is something science explained. He also posed for photos with other marchers.
"I'm sorry. My fingers don't fit for taking selfies," Ibarra told a woman posing with him as he clutched her phone but couldn't get the photograph because of the puffy costume.
Sarah Lummis, a doctoral candidate in marine biology at UC Santa Cruz, said the March for Science provided a public forum for people often confined to their labs and workspaces.
"We really want to get out of our bubble," she said. Lummis, married to Ibarra, wore a tie-dyed lab coat for the occasion.
Science teacher Wayne Thompson, who wore a lab coat at the march, teaches science at C.T. English Middle School in Los Gatos. Thompson said teenagers are too impressionable for there to be a formal opposition to science in the U.S.
"This is unprecedented across the United States: people standing up for critical thinking and reasoning," Thompson said.
The event, which was co-sponsored by activism group Santa Cruz Indivisible, tapped a younger crowd, organization founder Carson Kelly said.
"I've heard things like 'I should've brought my lab coat,'" Kelly said in the crowd before the march. "This is a very different demographic."
It was a group with many dressed in coats and goggles and safari hats.
For Chris Berry of Santa Cruz, the event had a local thread.
"If we talk about the water temperatures and instreams flows, we're talking about the extinction of coho salmon," Berry said. "That's as local as it gets."
Science has been a staple in the home of Laurie Mount of Santa Cruz. Mount's daughter is a herpatologist and doctoral candidate doing research at Louisiana State University. Her daughter attended Santa Cruz High School. She carried a sign, "My daughter is a scientist."
Carol Campbell of Scotts Valley said science is behind the technology most humans use every day.
"It's what allows you to pick up the damn phone," Campbell said.

IMPORTANT: This is a downloadable product. Upon payment, you will be sent a download link and code via email. If you don't receive this email within a few minutes of ordering, please check your spam folder. If you still don't get the email, let us know, and we'll get you sorted out manually. Also, please note that this set DOES NOT include any material from any of the brand new Optigan/Orchestron discs we've created in recent years. Only material from the original/vintage 1970s discs is included here.
Please note that there are two options for purchasing this set. You can purchase it by itself from this page, but you can also purchase it in a discount bundle with my original Optigan/Orchestron/Talentmaker set.
The Optigan Archives Vol. 1 is an exclusive set of loops and keyboard samples culled from the original Optigan/Orchestron studio master reels. These samples are provided in .wav format, along with associated Native Instruments Kontakt programs.
While the Optigan itself always sounded very lo-fi due to the limitations of its optical-soundtrack technology, the original master tapes retain their hi-fi sound quality.
The Optigan master reels are a vast archive of early 1970s era musical building blocks, covering a wide range of popular styles from the period. Ultimately, only a small portion of this material ever made it onto production Optigan discs. For this initial collection of samples, I'm focusing on that small portion and related out-takes. Future volumes in this series will comprise entirely unfamiliar material- out-takes which never saw the light of day on any Optigan disc.
To answer an obvious question right off the bat: does this sample set make the original Optigan/Orchestron/Talentmaker sample collection obsolete? Well, I suppose that depends on your musical needs, but in my opinion, both sets complement each other. For one thing, as far as we know, the Talentmaker master tapes are lost forever, so if you're after that material, the original sample set is your only option. But as far as sound quality is concerned, the main thing that makes the original instruments attractive in the first place IS their hauntingly lo-fi sound. While it's true that you could approximate this sound by filtering samples from the master tapes, in reality it's simply never going to sound the same. There are just too many quirks about the instruments that make them sound special. So, if you're looking for quirky/haunting sounds, stick with the original sample set. But if you're looking for sounds that have a much wider range of possibilities, this new set may interest you.
In addition to the sounds themselves and their related Kontakt programs, I've also included a folder of scans of all the tracking sheets from the master reels. These sheets are the sole remaining reference material for these tapes. By studying them, you can find out more about the sounds themselves, and also whet your appetite for all the out-takes that will appear on future volumes of this series.
Our dear friend Mike Le Doux, who was Optigan's music director and the source of these tapes, lost his 2-year struggle with cancer shortly after I began editing the material for this collection. In honor of Mike's work and in the spirit of his generosity, 10% of the proceeds from the sale of this disc will be donated to cancer research.
It should be noted that, if you're used to modern sample loop libraries, where rhythmic and tuning precision are prioritized at every stage of the production, these sounds may take a bit of getting used to in terms of their quirks and imperfections. Everything's in mono, and some of the early sessions in particular have a degree of tape hiss, mild distortion or other audible flaws. While click tracks were used for every session, it seems that studio musicians in the early 70s weren't quite used to the concept, and very often things were played quite loosely in defiance of the click. I've chosen to present these sounds as-is: I did not attempt to correct any of these deficiencies; only to listen carefully and select the best-sounding iteration of each given loop.
LEGAL STUFF: You are free to use these samples in your own musical creations for commercial and/or personal use, without any additional license fee to me, but I maintain the copyright on the samples themselves, and any redistribution of the samples in any form outside your own original musical creations is strictly forbidden. As far as is known, all original recordings were made on a work-for-hire basis, but since the actual contracts no longer exist, and most of the original artists are unknown, I cannot be held responsible for any residual payments owed to any artists who may step forward with a legitimate and verifiable claim to them. To date, this has never happened, and I don't expect it to, but in theory it could, in which case the end user will be liable for such fees/payments. Note that this would only be an issue in cases where the samples are used commercially. Please respect the amount of work that went into creating this archive, and don't put this stuff up on a torrent! Any use of this product constitutes agreement to these terms in their entirety.
Included Sounds:
[...] guy responsible for making all those Optigan discs in the early 70s. 10% of the proceeds from our Optigan Archives Vol. 1 sample set goes to cancer research, and this year $220.00 goes to the Jimmy Fund. Please consider [...]

I am a big proponent of talking about sex in an age-appropriate way with your children. My son knows that he can ask me questions and he will get honest explanations. He knows the correct anatomical names for body parts, he understands how babies are born and he even understands the basics of how breast milk is made. As he gets older, we will continue to have frank conversations about sex.
We will also continue to have conversations about love.
My husband is a good, kind man who treats me with love and respect. We are partners in this world. And while our relationship is a wonderful model for our son to have, it may not be enough. Because, the truth is that parents sometimes get so concerned around having "the sex talk" they forget to discuss other important topics including how to have healthy relationships, respect and love.
I can understand how parents would be so focused on getting through the anatomy of sex that they forget to discuss all the other parts of a relationship, but they are also important topics of conversation: Children need to know what a healthy, loving partnership looks like and the way to maintain it.
And, just like talks about sex, that is not a one-and-done conversation either.
Which do you find easier: Talking to your children about sex or talking to them about healthy relationships? Tell me in the comments.
