Woody Allen to Fawn Over Carla Bruni in His Next Film?
Plus: USA and Fox go renewal crazy!
A-Muse-Ing: Move over Scarlett Johansson, Woody Allen has found a new muse. Her name is Carla Bruni, and she's the first lady of France. She's also set to star in Allen's next film. "He offered me a role in his next movie," Bruni told Bloomberg News. "I don't know for what character, but I said yes. I'm not an actress at all. Maybe I will be terrible. But, in my life, I cannot let such a chance go." More than her performance, we're looking forward to the inevitable Allen/Sarko throwdown over Bruni's heart. [Bloomberg]
Quay Cowboys: Invictus scribe Anthony Peckham has signed on to write the script for Deep Sea Cowboys, an adaptation of a Wired article about a salvage crew trying to recover a capsized Japanese cargo ship. The story will take place in real time as the crew fights to salvage the ship's cargo so it can claim the reward, which may or may not be a valuable cache of Japan's favorite commodity — poop hats. [THR]
On Notice: USA Network has renewed Burn Notice for a fourth season. The hourlong drama about a Miami-based spy has been one of the cable channel's biggest shows in 2009. Produced by Fox Television Studios, Burn Notice joins Psych as the second show renewed by USA in as many days, proving that not all of America takes a nap the week before Thanksgiving. [Variety]
Continue Lying: Fox has picked up Lie to Me for a full season, ordering an additional nine episodes of the Tim Roth drama. The show hasn't performed exceptionally well in its post-House slot, but it did enough not to get canceled. And these days, that's success. [Variety]

BEIJING, July 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Apple is planning a third, even larger Shanghai store, as well as dozens of other stores throughout China, to cope with huge crowds at its flagship store and a branch, according to media reports Monday.
Apple says its Chinese outlets -- two in Beijing and two in Shanghai -- are the four most heavily trafficked Apple stores in the world. They also generate the most revenue.
Apple's push into China shows the depth of the country's fast-growing economy, and shows that with products not so easy to counterfeit, Chinese consumers are willing to pay a premium.
For the first three quarters of Apple's fiscal year, revenue in China and its Taiwan, Hong Kong was 8.8 billion dollars -- six times that of a year earlier.
China has become the second-largest market, after the United States, for apps that run on the smartphone and tablet, according to Distimo, a Dutch company that tracks the popularity of apps.
In addition, Apple has been eager to team up with state-run telecom companies, which looks after mobile phone subscriptions.

This species qualifies as Vulnerable because it has a very small range, being confined to one very small island and one tiny islet, and it is therefore susceptible to stochastic events and human impacts.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Pterodroma solandri breeds in the southern section of Lord Howe Island (Australia), and on Phillip Island, Norfolk Island (to Australia). It was exterminated on Norfolk Island itself between 1790 and 1800, where it was once considered numerous. One million adults and young were harvested for food from 1790-1793 and numbers dropped to 15,000 by 1796, with complete extermination by 1800 (Priddel et al. 2010). The population on Lord Howe Island was estimated at 20,000 breeding pairs in the 1970s (Fullagar et al. 1974); however a more comprehensive survey during the 2002 breeding season estimated the population at just over 32,000 breeding pairs (Bester 2003). Surveys also determined that its distribution has likely increased since the eradication of pigs on Lord Howe Island and it appears to be establishing itself in the lower elevations south of Mt Lidgbird (Bester 2003). The Phillip Island population was discovered in 1985 and numbered at least 20 birds, with current estimates of 10-100 pairs (Priddel et al. 2010) with 250 burrows counted in 2011 (N. Carlile unpub. data). Pigs, goats and rabbits all impacted Phillip Island, mainly through removal of vegetation causing large-scale soil erosion, until all were eradicated by the 1980's, since when vegetation has increased (Priddel et al. 2010). Its non-breeding distribution is across the western Tasman Sea with some dispersing to the north and northwest Pacific Ocean perhaps as far north as the Bering Sea (Nakamura and Tanaka 1977, Cheshire and Jenkins 1981, Tanaka 1986, Marchant and Higgins 1990, J. Hobbs in litt. 2009).

|Current Population Trend:

|Habitat and Ecology:
|It nests in burrows or under rock cavities and occasionally between tree buttresses from sea level to 900 m (Bester et al. 2002, Bester 2003). On Lord Howe, it breeds in forest, as once did the population of Norfolk Island, so the Phillip Island population is atypical, burrows being in eroded cliffs of soft volcanic tuff (Priddel et al. 2010). It is a winter breeder, with birds from Phillip Island breeding at the same time as Lord Howe Island (Priddel et al. 2010). Adults arrive at Phillip from mid-April (Priddel et al. 2010), a single egg laid mid- to late May (Bester et al. 2007), hatching starts mid-July (Bester et al. 2007) and chicks near-fledged by early November (Priddel et al. 2010). Adults land during daylight, often about 1530 h (Priddel et al. 2010). A study on Lord Howe Island, 2000-2001, determined 54% breeding success in burrows visited twice and contents not handled, with 34-36% success in burrows repeatedly visited (Bester et al. 2007). Nests closest to burrow entrances had lowest breeding success, with the main causes of failure being flooding and predation of eggs and chicks by the endemic, threatened Lord Howe Rail Gallirallus sylvestris (Bester et al. 2007). From a 2008 study on Lord Howe Island that included breeding success found 3 times the success in a small lowlands population (58%; n = 104) compared to breeding on Mount Gower (15%; n = 33) (Binder unpub. data). Additionally, adult provisioning trips were between 2–12 days (mean 4.8), with no evidence of a bimodal distribution of long and short trips (Binder et al. 2013). The adults feed predominantly on squid and fish with crustaceans less important. The most important prey item is bioluminescent fish from the genus Electrona; maximum diving depths have been recorded at 5 m (Bester 2003). It also scavenges for food taking fish offal and has been recorded scavenging on a Shining Bronze-cuckoo Chrysoccyx basilis (Bester 2003). It only occasionally follows fishing boats (Kuroda 1955, Bester 2003) but some fishing material has been reported in their diet (Bester 2003).

|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Movement patterns:
|Full Migrant
|Congregatory (and dispersive)
|Major Threat(s):
|On Norfolk Island, its demise was due to hunting and introduced species (Whitley 1934, Marchant and Higgins 1990). The presence of cats and rats on Norfolk Island continues to limit re-establishment (Holdaway 1999, S. Garnett in litt. 2006). On Lord Howe Island, it has withstood the introductions of pigs, cats, goats, black rat Rattus rattus and Masked Owl Tyto novaehollandiae castaneothorax, the latter introduced in the 1920s in an attempt to control rats (Bester et al. 2007). Pigs were eradicated from Lord Howe in 1981, where they had greatly reduced the lowland colonies (Bester et al. 2007). The extent of impact of the remaining introduced species is unknown, although rat predation did account for a small proportion of breeding failures on Lord Howe (Bester et al. 2007). The low scale of impact may result from rountine rat control on parts of Lord Howe, reducing their potential impact (Bester et al. 2007). Support for this theory comes from the high rates of rat predation on Whale Island, New Zealand in years when no control was done (Bester et al. 2007). The main causes of death on Lord Howe Island are predation by the threatened Lord Howe Rail Hypotaenidia sylvestris and flooding of burrows (Bester et al. 2007). The endemic Lord How pied currawong Strepera graculina crissalis is also known to kill chicks (Bester et al. 2007). On Phillip Island, competition for burrows from Wedge-tailed Shearwaters Ardenna pacifica poses a serious threat, with chicks being killed or ejected from burrows (Priddel et al. 2010). Rat predation of eggs and chicks was not considered a problem during the 2001 and 2002 breeding seasons (Bester 2003). It also risks death from drowning in longline fishing gear, but this cause of mortality is unlikely to be significant (Bester 2003). Diet samples have contained traces of plastic; however, no obvious adverse affects have been detected (Bester 2003).
|Conservation Actions:
Conservation Actions Underway
The Lord Howe Island group was designated a World Heritage Site in 1982. The control of rats has been taking place on Norfolk Island, however in 2006, the control measures were noted to be budget-constrained and limited in effectiveness (S. Garnett in litt. 2006). While a rat control program is also ongoing on parts of Lord Howe Island (Bester et al. 2007) an eradication of all rodents is planned (Lord Howe Island Board 2009). In 2006, a proposal was submitted to eradicate all mammalian predators from all, or at least a significant part, of Norfolk Island (Holdaway 1999). Such measures might involve the establishment of an exclosure in the National Park in which all mammals are eliminated, and where chicks are translocated (Holdaway 1999, S. Garnett in litt. 2006). Conservation Actions Proposed
Census the Lord Howe Island population at least once every five years, and the Phillip Island population every three years. Monitor breeding success on a 1-3 year basis. Eradicate cats and rat species from Norfolk Island (Holdaway 1999), or at least establish an exclusion area (Holdaway 1999, S. Garnett in litt. 2006). Consider translocation of chicks (Holdaway 1999, S. Garnett in litt. 2006). Implement bird-safe fishing practices in the Pacific Ocean fleet. Impose strict quarantine procedures on any vessels visiting Phillip Island and Lord Howe Island.

The 20-year tradition that is Gainesville's "Fanfares & Fireworks" returns Saturday with the patriotic pomp of years past.
The family-friendly event held the night before Independence Day will be free as always and offer concessions for those who don't want to lug coolers out to the University of Florida's Flavet Field. There also will be plenty of live music and visits from UF mascots Albert and Alberta and Clifford the Big Red Dog.
"Fanfares & Fireworks" returns after being canceled last year due to budget cuts.
Sue Wagner, director of communications for WUFT, which is presenting the event along with WLUF-TV, said the station received complaints after the last year's cancellation. People "missed the tradition," so she said she is glad to bring it back.
What makes this year's celebration even more memorable is UF's renovated bandshell.
"The venue has changed dramatically," Wagner said. "It's much more modern with better sound presentation."
While "Fanfares & Fireworks" has always been held at Flavet Field, the bandshell was remodeled last summer, offering this year's celebration a "whole lot better" look.
Another new feature this year: Anyone who wants to hear the patriotic music performed by the Gainesville Community Band that accompanies the fireworks display at 9:40 p.m. can tune in to WUFT 89.1 FM.
"You can see the fireworks almost anywhere on campus," Wagner says. "They're shot from Hume Field, so you can see them from any parking garage, some of the hotels open their roofs, so we made the option to be able to listen on the radio while watching."
Musical groups, including the 6th Street Rhythm and Blues Review, and Hartley Leacock and the Collect Format Band, will play for about 45 minutes each, beginning at 7:45 p.m. until the fireworks begin. The Gainesville Community Band, under the direction of Gerald Poe, will play patriotic songs such as "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" during the fireworks display until the finale hits the skies at around 10 p.m.
WRUF/WUFT Sports Director Steve Russell and Friends of Five Board Member Ilene Silverman-Budd will serve as emcees for the evening. The nearly $30,000 "Fanfares & Fireworks" celebration is sponsored by the University of Florida and its public radio and television stations, as well as the City of Gainesville, AvMed Health Plans and the University Athletic Association.
Though Saturday's celebration officially starts at 7 p.m., some people arrive earlier to get their blankets and picnics set up, Wagner says. Another reason to arrive early: LifeSouth Blood Center will be on site accepting donations.
For safety reason, no alcohol or sparklers are allowed at the celebration, and dogs are asked to be left at home as they are easily spooked by the fireworks.
'Fanfares & Fireworks' returns Saturday to Gainesville's Flavet Field
The 20-year tradition that is Gainesville's "Fanfares & Fireworks" returns Saturday with the patriotic pomp of years past.

We spent summers on the Cape as children, and hope to spend more time there in retirement! We enjoy spending time at the beach with our two children.
Hopper Real Estate purchased this house in 2013
We adore the openness and feel of this house, along with the proximity to and views of the beach. It's also a quiet area, but yet still close to all of the Cape classics!
We rented in Eastham for many years. We had some good and bad experiences. We have vowed to learn from the bad experiences to make your stay the best possible. Tenant feedback is critical to the process. We will continue to invest in this house to make your stay the best possible. Since purchasing our home in May of 2013, we've made the following improvements:
2013: new electronics, kitchen equipment, artwork
2014: renovated and expanded both full bathrooms; new living room furniture
2014 (post rental season): new and larger deck
2015: renovated 1st floor bedrooms, with new furniture and porelain tile floors. New deck furniture.
This house is amazing! We had a great week in Eastham with great weather allowing us to spend most days at the beach. Our group included children ages 5-12 and there was plenty for everyone. The house was clean and organized. Amazing sunsets!! We will be back!!
This house is clean, comfortable, regularly updated/maintained, equipped with all the modern conveniences and had plenty of room for my family of 8. Being directly across from the beach made it easy to go back and forth all day, and also provided wonderful views of the bay, including beautiful sunsets. New bedroom furniture, new mattresses, recently remodeled large bathrooms, brand new wrap-around deck and central AC are just some of the aspects of this house, which made it such a comfortable, relaxing, perfect vacation for our family.
This house is the perfect house for a large family. There were 8 adults and we
never got in each other's way. The sleeping arrangements were great as well.
Having the large room downstairs was the perfect place for my son and his
family. The crib is a great bonus, no need to pack the Pack 'N Play! The house
was very well equipped and everything in the kitchen was labeled, which made it
easy to find things. The location is great, right across the street from a
private association beach. Great view from the living area of the house,
including those beautiful bay sunsets. We have been renting in Eastham for over
20 years and this house is our favorite!

Tipping in Sint Maarten | Tips in Saint Martin | Should I tip the dive crew?
A lot of people ask me what is the etiquette for tipping here. Not only at Octopus Diving, but also all over the island.
What do you tip in restaurants? Do you tip the taxi drivers? Do you tip the gas attendant? Do you tip the Dive crew?
After all, one side of the island is technically part of Europe and the other side of the island used to be European (or did it?) and now is just it's own country and it who really knows which culture to follow and how to tip anyway? We all know that Europeans aren't big on the whole tipping thing. I know, I am married to one!
This is what I do…. I tip just like I would if I were in the US. However, I do have some extra little niggles and suggestions that you can follow so that you don't offend anyone, but also I want you to get ripped off either.
Why do people tip?
I don't know why you tip, but I believe that people who work hard and offer great service should get a tip. It is an exchange. Great service for money. Sounds obvious, and sometimes it is someone's job to give you great service, but tipping seriously helps (in my opinion). It also means that perhaps people treat me a little better with the promise of money!
"If you treat me well and nicely and do a great job, I will give you extra money for it."
Let me give you an example; When I go to a bar and order some drinks I normally tip big on the first round. Then, when the bar staff sees me the next time, they will give me fast and efficient service and I don't have to wait so long to get served. I am willing to pay extra for this, wouldn't you? At some places the staff never know how much they are going to get tipped until the end of whatever it is they are offering (like restaurants, or the dive staff), so they just give either good or bad service depending on what they are like and then the customer decides at the end.
First of all, let's address the dive crew. Should you tip your dive crew, and if yes… how much?
YES!!! It is typically industry standard that you do tip your crew, especially your dive guide or diving instructor. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes here to make sure that your experience with us goes as smoothly as possible and that you enjoy your dives as much as possible. For example, lugging all those tanks to and from the boat is not easy. Making sure that they are full, and really full, (so 3,100 PSI and not just 2,900 PSI) is going above and beyond. If this gives you 2 minutes extra on the dives then it is worth the 2 minutes that the crew takes in the morning to check the air pressure in your tank and top it off if necessary. They carry all your equipment, they set it up, they defog your masks, the list just goes on and on. Although we instill in the dive staff the training that this is their job to offer this excellent service (and this is what distinguished us from other centers), they don't HAVE TO really go that extra extra mile. But they do, and they do it with pleasure, and to be honest, they would do it even if you didn't tip them. You should still tip them, though. Most people tip between $10 and $20 for a two tank dive. So, a two tank dive with us is between $110 and $120 so this is about a 9% – 17% spread. Of course, just like with anything, some customers tip well and some don't tip at all. When people ask me if they should tip the crew, I say "if you had a great experience then yes, it is customary to tip the crew."
How do our staff split the tips?
Our crew collect all the tips from the week and then split them evenly based on how many days each person worked on a Friday. Then they all go out to dinner together in Grand Case. At other diving centers that I have worked the tips are split between the particular crew on that day (so mostly between the captain and the dive guide), but here we feel like it is a real team effort. "Even if you aren't on my boat, I am still helping you make it a great experience." So they share tips evenly.
Here is a tip about tipping… Please bring cash to tip the staff. If you want to leave a tip on a credit card for the dive staff, it not only really messes up my accounting, but I get charged credit card fees and turnover tax on it, plus profit tax. This really adds up, so we can not accept tips on the credit card.
What about the restaurants?
I tip in most restaurants here on island (on both the French side and the Dutch side), however, I do look at the bill before I leave a tip. Many places include a 15% service charge already (which I really don't agree with). This is especially true in Sint Maarten, on the Dutch Side. So, I have found in the past that if I'm not paying attention, I leave a 15% tip on the bill when a 15% tip has already been added in which case it means that I am actually leaving more than a 30% trip. Sneaky! Apparently this isn't legal (according to a totally unreliable source whom I can't remember). However, is common practice on the Dutch Side. At these places, I never leave extra. In fact, I will sometimes wait for my exact change because, for me, a mandatory tip goes against the entire reason for tipping in the first place.
On the French side, I don't see this very much, but I still look out for it just in case. You also need to be careful about leaving a tip on a credit card. I have had friends working as wait staff in some restaurants on island and they tell me that they do not really get the full tip if it is left on a credit card. The owner will sometimes take out a percentage of that amount, which isn't what you (as the tipper) are intending for that money. So, if I am paying with a credit card, I often leave the tip in cash. Of course, this isn't true at most restaurants, but it is some. I will not name them here.
Who else do I tip?
I tip the gas attendants. Usually just a dollar or something. Why? I do it because they remember me next time I am there. On the French side the gas attendants automatically pump the gas for you, however, on the Dutch side you have to choose full service vs self service, just like in the USA. If you aren't going back to get gas, as you don't live here, then you may not want to. Maybe I tip for selfish reasons, because it makes me feel good to tip the gas attendant a buck. They always seem a little surprised and happy about it, so I like it.
I tip the bag boys at the supermarket. When I get a big load of groceries (I mostly shop at Le Grand Marche, but where to shop is an entire separate blog), there are always friendly "bag boys" that will pack up all my groceries. I really don't know what I would do with out them. Chris and I normally shop once every ten to 14 days, so it always a big shop. They pack everything up and then take it to the car for me. When I am alone with Keiran, it is especially helpful. I normally tip them about 1%. So, for a $300 shop, I give them $3, $400 I tip $4 and so on. There is a big sign outside that says that they work solely for tips. I do not know if it is true, but I always tip them as they really do help me out.
Sometimes I tip in beer!
I have found that sometimes beer goes a long way. One example is when we get the boats pulled out of the water because of a storm or a hurricane, we will tip the staff at the boat yard with a crate of beer to say thanks. Why? They are more likely to take better care of our boat and get us back in the water after the storm as soon as possible so we can start diving again. Does it always work? No. Sometimes it does though, and that makes it worth it.
Another example is on Tuesday Nights in Grand Case. Every Tuesday, (for about 3 months in the high season) the entire road in Grand Case is closed to traffic from the Bridge to the very end of the Boulevard and there are street vendors, bands, and the restaurants are packed! They close down traffic into Grand Case at 6 PM and create a one way system which takes FOREVER to get through. At any rate, it is always inevitable that I will forget it is a Tuesday and find that I need to run to the supermarket for something. The problem is, I can get out of Grand Case… but they won't let me back in. I say "No, I live here. I live on Rue Petite Plage! I just want to go home! I am not going into town, I am taking a right hand turn to where I live." They always give me such a hard time and won't let me pass. In the past I have taken utility bills (doesn't work). I have called Chris, and he comes out and quietly persuades them to let his wife pass. It is literally just a few seconds from my house where they stay. However, I find now that the best way is to ask each security guard on the way out (there are about 4 at two stops) what they want at the supermarket. Then, on the way back, I just hand them a bag of chips and a couple beers (sometimes they want cookies) and then they happily let me pass with out a problem!
You can also tip the guys and girls at Octopus Diving with beer, they appreciate that too!
I hope all this helps! Any questions, please just ask.

HAVANA – Cuba on Monday accused America's top diplomat in Havana of carrying mail to dissidents that contained private funds from an organization run by the benefactor of an alleged terrorist.
Authorities presented e-mails and other correspondence they say back their claim against Michael Parmly, chief of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana. But while the evidence referred to "letters," it included no direct proof there was money involved.
Nevertheless, Cuba claimed the funds were sent to political opposition leaders Martha Beatriz Roque and Laura Pollan from a Miami-based organization called Fundacion Rescate Juridica, which is headed by Santiago Alvarez — a benefactor of Luis Posada Carriles, accused by Cuba of masterminding bombings of a jetliner and hotels and other terrorist acts. Posada has denied the allegations.
"This reveals the connection between the counterrevolutionaries in Cuba with the terrorists," said Josefina Vidal Ferreira, director of the Foreign Ministry's North American Department.
Roque heads the Assembly for Civil Society while Pollan is a member of the Ladies in White group of political prisoners' wives. Neither was immediately available for comment Monday.
Cuba has accused officials at the American mission of providing U.S. government funds and material support to the island's tiny opposition for years.
U.S. officials have acknowledged sending books, radios, tape recorders and other items purchased through the U.S. Agency for International Development, which receives government funding, but they have always adamantly denied giving dissidents cash.
During a 2003 crackdown, Cuba charged 75 opposition members with being "mercenaries" working with U.S. officials to overthrow the communist system and sentenced them to long prison terms. Twenty of the original 75 have been released — 16 on medical parole and four into forced exile in Spain.
U.S. officials and dissidents denied those charges.

Justin Bieber was disappointed when he missed out on a Grammy Award nomination for the 2013 prizegiving, but is confident "it will happen one day".
The pop star, who previously scored two nods at the 2011 ceremony, was overlooked when the categories were announced last week (05Dec12), prompting his manager Scooter Braun and music mogul Simon Cowell to slam bosses for the snub.
But while Justin Bieber admits he had been hoping to be shortlisted, he is sure he will one day take home a Grammy.
He tells talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, "(It was) a big bummer... I was looking forward to (possible Grammy nominations), but I know it will happen one day. I'm so young, I'm only 18. I'm just blessed to be able to do what I love every day. And the AMAs was a lot of fun for me so... Hopefully, one day."
Bieber scooped three trophies at the American Music Awards last month (Nov12), including Artist of the Year.

`But, doctor,`` the client sobbed, ``how could this happen to my Pudding? She`s an AKC registered dog!``
The fact that a puppy is AKC (American Kennel Club) registered only means it`s a pure breed; it doesn`t mean that it`s well-bred. And it certainly doesn`t mean that it is guaranteed to be a well animal. That`s the first thing you ought to know before you pick a pup. The second thing to know is that each breed is prone to certain genetic problems, some breeds more than others.

We've started our guide to getting the best out of stopovers in Hong Kong here already. The previous post list included some iconic spots and must-sees and dos. This post is for when you have a little bit more time on your hands in Hong Kong. Let's start!
6. Cruise the harbour
The best way to enjoy the skyline is to go on the harbour on one of the harbour cruises or ferries. Go on a junk boat like the Aqua Luna boat (and enjoy an hour-long ride on the harbour) or take one of the ferries going from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon. It's also the perfect way to escape the heat from the city!
7. visit cultural sites and temples
…and light some incense sticks for good luck. The last time we visited Hong Kong, we went to the Man Mo temple in Sheung Wan. This time we decided to visit the highly popular Wong Tai Sin temple in Kowloon. Get here early as it tends to get crowded when the big tourist groups arrive! For other cultural sites, I highly recommend the Nan Lian Garden (see here).
8. freeze time
Hong Kong is a crowded place. With over 7 million people living in Hong Kong currently, it'll be hard for you to find a quiet spot. We stood still at a crossing at one of the busiest crossings in Causeway Bay. The hustle and bustle of city life is nowhere as evident as on the streets.
9. discover urban and historical sites
One of my favorites parts of Hong Kong is Wanchai and it is home to many historical buildings that have been revitalized over the years. From the Blue House to the many other tong laus, the many markets, art shops, food stalls and secret bars, there could not be a more interesting urban mix than in Hong Kong. My tip is to take one of the historical trams and ride from east to west to see the contrast of new and old.
10. enjoy the hong kong night life
And by that I mean the various shops and restaurants that are open until late. Hit up the many local restaurants on-the-go or make reservations at foodie hotspots. Afterwards, you'll want to stop by Temple Street Market or any other food market / stand open.

Chilly Little Penguin
5x7 oil available at my Etsy shop
This is an African Penguin, also known as a (Blackfooted or Jackass penguin), I know, weird, right?
There are 17 - 20 different kinds of penguins, apparently there's a debate on exactly how many. Penguins are non flying, aquatic birds and spend half of their life in the ocean. They use their 'wings' as flippers and usually live on uninhabited islands where there are no predators, at least that's what one site said. Penguins feed on krill, squid, fish and other forms of sealife that they catch while they are swimming. Yum!
I just think they're cute.
Have a great day,

Take a look at Beyoncé. Does she look, um, different to you?
Yeah, something is not quite right. Something like, oh I don't know, the fact that her skin is a good two to three shades lighter than it appears in real life. Last week Beyoncé Knowles' new L'Oréal Paris ads for hair coloring have caused quite a controversy over the apparent lightening of her skin.
Of course L'Oréal spokespeople denied the claim, saying: "We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L'Oréal Paris altered Ms. Knowles' features or skin-tone in the campaign for Feria's hair color." Beyoncé's endorsement deal with L'Oréal started in 2001.
Look, L'Oréal, we all have eyes in our heads. Even if your ad designers didn't intend to make Beyoncé a whiter shade of pale, there is categorically no way Photoshop was not opened and employed here. And it's not even the first time there has been a public dust-up about the possible lightening of her skin in print. In 2005, Vanity Fair was accused of the same digital trickery on its cover.
While I'm not 100 percent convinced in Vanity Fair's case, I'm floored by the L'Oréal ad. And it's not just her skin tone that seems manipulated by the cosmetic giant. I mean, I can't be the only one who looked at the picture and thought, "Dang, is that really B's nose?" Somehow — either through lightening her skin or futzing with her features — they made her nose seem more prominent. Trust me, this is the first and more than likely only time I've looked at lovely and talented Ms. Knowles and been preoccupied by anything other than her bootyliciousness.
The moral of this story: Don't Photoshop what ain't broke.

Life seems to be about change every day.
Some days I can go with the flow and allow the changes to be absorbed into my plans and most of the time, I look back and I like what I see. Yet, other times I look around and see the changes that happen, and I wonder ... what is going on here, what was I thinking, was I sleeping when that happened?
Other days I resist the changes and insist on the original plan to go right on track ... which can cause frustration or can cause me to appear stubborn. Yet, if 'I know that I know' the change shouldn't happen, how can I go along with it? I look back at those days with mixed reviews also ... sometimes it was good that I stood my ground, other times I realize my reasons for not changing weren't justified and I was just being stubborn.
So ... where is the balance?
I can't just lay down and allow all changes to happen ... I need to be aware and process my choices before I decide to go with them or not. Since I believe in the one and only God ... taking time to talk to him needs to be a part of my process ... after all He is the source of wisdom.
As I wrote that I realize that someone else struggled with the same problem a few decades ago and he penned a excellent prayer for his dilemma ...
God grant me the serenity to accept the things
I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

SPME and GC-AED-Olfactometry for the detection of trace odorants in essential oils
Document Type
Book chapter
Publication details
Wyllie, SG, Leach, DN & Merry, KA 2001, 'SPME and GC-AED-Olfactometry for the detection of trace odorants in essential oils', in JV Leland, P Scheiberle, A Buettner & TE Acree (eds), Gas chromatography-olfactometry: the state of the art, ACS symposium series, vol. 782, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, pp. 222-234. ISBN: 0841237131
Published version available from:
The presence of odor active trace components in essential oils obtained from Melaleuca alternifolia have been investigated using gas chromatography atomic emission detection (GC-AED) and gas chromatography olfactometry techniques (GC-O) in combination with solid phase microextraction (SPME). Distinct qualitative and quantitative differences were found in front of the terpenoid region of both the aromagrams and the chromatograms obtained from four samples of high quality tea tree oil from different sources. These results suggest that the subtle differences observed in the aromas of the sample oils could be caused by the variability of the occurrence of these trace volatiles. The combination of SPME, GC-AED and GC-O is a useful method for studying such problems.

With all the news about legal television show downloads, I thought it was interesting that there were two ads on TVGude.com for companies that appear to help you download tv shows illegally (I was searching for "E.R.").
The MPAA recently pursuaded a California court to force MP3downloadcity.com to stop advertising because they "alleging that the website fooled consumers into believing that a $24.95 subscription to the service allowed for legal peer to peer file swapping." Six additional sites have been targeted by the MPAA.
"These kinds of scam websites are not only hurting the entertainment industry, they also jeopardize the safety of consumers," said MPAA Chairman and CEO Dan Glickman. "I am heartened by today's ruling and am hopeful that the Court will issue a permanent ban on such false advertisements. There are plenty of legal ways to download movies and we will not stand by and let consumers be duped into paying for illegal services."
If there were download services that offered more than a few thousand movies or a select number of tv shows for a reasonable price, I don't think that these sites would exist.
The MPAA is suing people for illegally downloading movies, so there is a risk to using these services (they have been able to track downloads for a long time).
I haven't tried any of these services, but they appear to teach you how to use BitTorrent, a free program that has many legal uses (but can also be used to quickly download music or movies).

This just in: The Knicks insisted on Wednesday that Raymond Felton's arrest Tuesday morning on gun charges is not a distraction. Therefore it's safe to assume their free fall into NBA oblivion won't be interrupted.
This news is sure to disappoint Knicks fans, who thought Felton's legal troubles might serve to galvanize a team in need of a mission. Instead, the Knicks have vowed to act like the arrest of their starting point guard for illegal weapon possession never happened.
"The bottom line is Ray is a part of our team, and as his coach I'm going to support him," Mike Woodson said, "and make sure he's doing everything the right way from here on out."
Felton, out on bail until his June hearing, declared, "This is not a distraction to the team."
Too bad. Sometimes distractions can be positive. They can create unity, breed defiance or take the focus off misery. They can also make or break a fragile team. That's why the Knicks face their Armageddon against the Heat at Miami on Thursday. Will they stand united and fight? Or are they broken?
It's perhaps the last chance for the Knicks (21-36) to show they haven't given up hope of making the playoffs. It's a chance to show their ultimate support for Felton.
"We understand the task at hand," Tyson Chandler said Wednesday. "We understand we have to get out there and approach this game as do-or-die."
Five games out of the East's eighth playoff spot with 25 games to play, the Knicks have their heels on the edge of the cliff. They've lost nine of their past 11 games and are 1-4 since the All-Star break.
Woodson tried to paint an optimistic picture by saying, "We've been playing pretty good basketball. Unfortunately we haven't won games." But the reality is the season has been a disaster.
The roster is in disarray. The contracts of Beno Udrih and Metta World Peace were bought out, and we probably won't see much more of Andrea Bargnani, Iman Shumpert and Kenyon Martin for the rest of the season. J.R. Smith has been a huge disappointment, and Felton's performance already was under scrutiny before his soon-to-be ex-wife mounted her own run-and-gun offense.
Now the Knicks must face the Heat, who have sustained their swagger while the Knicks have fallen apart. Dwyane Wade admitted, "It's a shock" to see the Knicks struggling the season. But don't expect Miami to show any sympathy.
It's a long shot, but the two teams could meet in the first round of the playoffs, and the last thing Miami wants is for the Knicks to have any kind of psychological edge should that happen. The Knicks beat Miami, 102-92, in January, but lost, 106-91, Feb. 1. Both games were at the Garden.
"We always see a different Knicks team," Wade said.
But this Knicks team is running on fumes. A hard-fought effort was wasted against the Mavericks on Monday night at the Garden when Dirk Nowitzki hit a difficult game-winning shot — the ball bouncing off the glass then high off the rim before dropping through the net at the buzzer. If losing in heartbreaking fashion wasn't taxing enough, the sun wasn't up before news spread Felton had been arrested.
Of course, Felton's situation is a distraction. Anytime players and coaches are talking about anything other than the next opponent or the next game, it's a distraction. When it involves an off-the-court criminal matter with a high-profile player, it's a bigger distraction.
The Knicks are in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons: a bad season, a bad decision by Felton. There are plenty of excuses for them to pack it in. We'll find out against the Heat whether they have.

Noah Webster Quotes About CountryQuotes about: Country
But while property is considered as the basis of the freedom of the American yeomanry, there are other auxiliary supports; among which is the information of the people. In no country, is education so general - in no country, have the body of the people such a knowledge of the rights of men and the principles of government. This knowledge, joined with a keen sense of liberty and a watchful jealousy, will guard our constitutions and awaken the people to an instantaneous resistance of encroachments.
It is an object of vast magnitude that systems of education should be adopted and pursued which may not only diffuse a knowledge of the sciences but may implant in the minds of the American youth the principles of virtue and of liberty and inspire them with just and liberal ideas of government and with an inviolable attachment to their own country.
The freedom of the press is a valuable privilege; but the abuse of it, in this country, is a frightful evil. The licentiousness of the press is a deep stain upon the character of the country; & in addition to the evil of calumniating good men, & giving a wrong direction to public measures, it corrupts the people by rendering them insensible to the value of truth & of reputation. The ecclesiastical establishments of Europe which serve to support tyrannical governments are not the Christian religion but abuses and corruptions of it.
It is alleged by men of loose principles , or defective views of the subject, that religion and morality are not necessary or important qualifications for political station. When a citizen gives his vote to a man of immorality , he abuses his civic responsibilty. He sacrifices not only his own interest but that of his neighbor, and he betrays the interest of his country.
In the formation of such a government, it is not only the right, but the indispensable duty of every citizen to examine the principles of it, to compare them with the principles of other governments, with a constant eye to our particular situation and circumstances, and thus endeavor to foresee the future operations of our own system, and its effects upon human happiness. Convinced of this truth, I have no apology to offer for the following remarks, but an earnest desire to be useful to my country.

Overall,I am pleased with the Longview mirrors. The fit and finish of the mirrors are quite good and they attach solidly to the OEM mirrors. There is very minimal vibration while driving and the additional coverage they provide is good. To get a secure attachment the plastic "adapters" have to be really tightened, which being plastic makes me nervous. The instructions are not well-written and they were minimally helpful; watching the installation video at "www.longviewtm.com" was helpful.

Just 14% of UK online retailers offer live chat as a customer service channel.
In a recent survey by idealo, only a small number of UK retailers offered live chat as a customer service channel, and in the rest of Europe, an average of 18% of retailers offered access to live chat.
Live chat is the online support service that provides instant help for consumers who are seeking immediate help from a customer service assistant in real time. It normally appears on ecommerce sites or service providers in the form of a little text box that says "how can I help you?"
As you would expect, the most popular method of contact from the survey is by writing, with an average of 91% of all online shops offering contact via email or contact form. Although I'm surprised this figure isn't even higher.
Perhaps this is down to many European retailers preferring customers to pick up the phone. Italy for example goes heavily against the email trend, with 98% of their online retailers offering phone contact, but only 56% offering email contact.
This leaves live chat somewhat in the doldrums.
How important is live chat to ecommerce? Would customers prefer this method over others if it was more readily available? Let's take a look at some other studies to find out.
According to eDigital's customer service benchmark, live chat has the highest satisfaction levels for any customer service channel, with 73%, compared with 61% for email and 44% for phone.
Even though just 24% of customers actually used this method, the satisfaction levels far outstrip other customer service channels. More information can be discovered in our latest Internet Statistics Compendium.
In another study, BoldChat found that in the USA, 21% of online shoppers prefer live chat, which is only slightly less than those who favour using the telephone (23%) and far ahead of social media (2%).
The same study reveals why those respondents prefer live chat.
79% claim that it's the immediacy of the response that makes live chat the preferred method. The ability to multitask also figures highly, with more than half (51%) saying this is the reason they use live chat.
Good and bad practice
In my experience, I've found live chat to be a highly efficient customer service channel. Outside of ecommerce, I've used Bluehost's live chat to help with the transferring of a domain, a technical nightmare that at the time I was far out of my depth in.
I had minimal wait time, friendly customer service, and even though the problem was fairly complicated and I struggled to explain myself brilliantly because I was a novice, everything was fixed in a speedy fashion.
Live chat is the ideal channel for dealing with a company in a different country. Phone calls can be prohibitively expensive, especially with the high liklihood you'll be kept waiting on the line. You also don't have the frustration of waiting for a reply to an email, with the added hurdle of being in a different timezone causing a delay.
I would however suggest that the live chat option is rather hidden within the Bluehost help section.
This is a shame, as it was an effective service and much more preferabe to a similarly lengthed phone call.
Other companies I've experienced sit at the other end of the spectrum.
I completed a user experience comparison of the Sky and Virgin Media websites last year and found both of their live chat services to be fairly obtrusive.
Sky's live chat option appears immediately when you've clicked through to the bundle option page.
Virgin Media is similarly eager to help. Even though I didn't need it, I almost feel pushed into using the service with its full page takeover.
At the time I found these to be as annoying as any pop-up. However Sky has seen an increase in both sales and customer service satisfaction after implementing its live chat service so it's certainly nothing to be sniffed at.
The problem I had with Sky at the time was that at various points a link to the live chat wasn't provided when I could have possibly needed it.
Best practice would be to have a constant link to live chat at every step of the journey, but without quite so much obstruction for the customer who wishes for a fast transaction.
In conclusion…
The positives of live chat are many.
- Live chat provides immediate contact with a company in a way that can be ambiguous with a prospective email.
- It removes the frustration of using a telephone, waiting in a queue and the subsequent costs/anger/time wasted.
- The customer can do other things while using live chat, making multi-tasking an actual realistic proposition.
- If a problem is particularly technical, it's sometime easier to explain things in writing.
- Let us not underestimate how much some people just don't like using a phone and talking to a 'live' person.
If those customer service wins haven't convinced you, then how about this final stat from BoldChat:
- 31% of online shoppers from both the US and UK say they would be more likely to purchase after a live chat.

Monday on ABC's "The View," network senior legal correspondent Sunny Hostin argued there no difference between Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's tough tack on immigration and border security and Adolf Hitler's extermination of the Jews in Nazi Germany.
Partial transcript as follows:
PAULA FARIS: I spoke with the campaign last week I covered him on Super Tuesday this of the big take away. He's a attracting first time voters the crossover voters. And there's a lot of Democrats that are voting for him, and I think you guys we have to be reflective of this country there are a lot of people that do support him to make a gross generalization that if you're voting for him here racist, I don't necessarily think that that's fair as well.
SUNNY HOSTIN: That is a generalization I don't think any of us are saying that every single Trump supporter is racist … but I don't think we can deny the fact is there are a group of people that his message is resonating with, and that is a message of discrimination and bigotry and misogyny and it's there.
JOY BEHAR: Demonizing the other. That's what his message is.
JEDEDIAH BILA: When you're talking about Hitler though. I mean, that is like equating Donald Trump to someone who wants to exterminate a whole race of people. Or a whole religion. He didn't say anything like that.
HOSTIN: He wants to build a wall, he wants to send millions and millions of Latinos from this country. He wants to torture people, how is it different?
BILA: You can't equate border security with the extermination of the Jewish people.
HOSTIN: How is it different? I just did.
BILA: You can't though. You can't.

But despite a tough economy and rising airfares, some people are doing just that. Matt Kepnes is one example. In 2004, he decided to quit his job to travel around the world. The trip eventually turned into a career. For the last five years, Kepnes has been writing about travel and sharing tips with other would-be globe trekkers on his blog, nomadicmatt.com.

Parody Analysis
Lesson 4 of 13
Objective: SWBAT analyze a parody and determine the connotative meaning and effect of figurative language upon the text.
Selecting a Parody
I provided several parodies by Roald Dahl for the students to analyze in small groups. Yesterday, we practiced analyzing a parody as a whole class.
Students could choose from: Cinderella, Three Little Pigs, or Jack and the Beanstalk.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Poetic Device Analysis
Next students wrote a Poetic Device Analysis, explaining how two devices were used and impacted the parody. They used the Poetic Device Analysis template, previously glued in their notebooks, as a guide.
In order to ensure that rigor was addressed in this lesson, the template provided a guide for students to include details about the impact of figurative language within the parodies. In alignment with Common Core Writing Standards, as students used the analysis template as a guide, they intentionally incorporated details, textual evidence, and examples to convey ideas.
