Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

Based on defensive rating and PPP, Sefolosha ain't **** on defense.
The reason he is considered an elite defender is because he's elite at defending the P&R Ball Handler. The most used play in basketball. It's a staple you need defensively.
Tony Allen. He's on another level. He's very good.
Ok. So in terms of Pick and roll ball handler, Sefolosha gives us .82 PPP. Nicolas Batum gives up .8 PPP on Pick and roll ball hander. So Nicolas Batum is an elite defender too?
Nicolas Batum is really badass. So yes.
So I made a better pick than you?

We are in awe of Maybelline's new One by One Volum' Express Mascara. All it took to sell me a tube of this mascara was this tweet from Erika at Makeup Bag. Her daughter's lashes look fantastic, do they not? It always bugs me how shady Maybelline can be by using fake lashes in their commercials but this is the first Maybelline mascara I've seen that actually produces similar results.
The product name is very indicative of its performance, as it does a superb job at separating lashes and giving a full look. It lengthens and volumizes along the way too, and the wand stays unbelievably clean. This is as no-mess as it gets. Both Laurie and I have been test-driving this all week and are happily ignoring any other mascara currently in our makeup bags. Ladies, this is one to try.

"Pain & Gain" is loosely based on a true story of bodybuilders gone wild on steroids and cocaine. Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie play the buffed anti-heroes who embark on a bizarre plot of kidnapping for ransom. Operating in the dark recesses of Miami society, they target unsavory wealthy victims with gruesome purpose and consequences.
The resulting carnage is as bloody as any Quentin Tarantino film. It's full of crazy violence and bizarre plot twists. The relentlessly profane yet snappy dialogue strives for the dark humor of the Coen Brothers. But it's so crude, crass and nasty that genteel viewers will walk out before the worst comes to pass.
Director Michael Bay is known for his exceedingly loud and obnoxious action films like "Transformers" and "Bad Boys." This strange caper flick is so over-the-top it recalls the "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" films that Bay also produced over the years. If more than two hours of nonstop violence, madness and profanity is your cup of tea, this movie is for you. But not for me.
Good cinema, thy name is 'Mud'
"Mud" is an enjoyably lazy adventure of two small town Arkansas boys living on the Mississippi River.
Matthew McConaughey shines in one of his best screen roles to date. From "The Lincoln Lawyer" to "Killer Joe," "The Paperboy" and even "Magic Mike," his acting talents are clearly more interesting when he uses that killer smile and Southern drawl in playing bad boys.
Ellis and Neckbone are 14 going on 30 — boyish enough to get a kick out of finding a boat stuck high up in a tree, but grownup by virtue of their hardscrabble life. Ellis' parents are struggling in their marriage, and Neckbone lives with a philandering uncle.
To their surprise, a wild-haired, crazy looking guy named Mud (McConaughey) is living in that boat. Ellis is drawn to Mud when he learns the man is in town to meet up with his true love, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon).
Mud is also hiding out from some bad guys and explains that his gun and his shirt are his only protection from them. The boys are soon getting him supplies and delivering messages to Juniper, unaware of the very real dangers they're getting themselves into.
As played by Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland, Ellis and Neckbone are terrific and indeed carry much of the film. A fine cast of supporting characters — Sam Shepard, Michael Shannon and Ray McKinnon, to name a few — add to the little mysteries and bits of humor that abound.
And yes, ladies, McConaughey does manage to take off that magic shirt. Enjoy.

Yale Captain Honored for Efforts On and Off Ice
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Aleca Hughes (Westwood, Mass.), a senior forward and captain of the Yale women's ice hockey team, has been named the winner of the 2011-12 Sarah Devens Award. Given as a joint award between ECAC Hockey and Hockey East, the Devens Award is presented annually to a student-athlete who "demonstrates leadership and commitment both on and off the ice." It is named in honor of former Dartmouth ice hockey, field hockey and lacrosse captain Sarah Devens, who died in 1995 prior to her senior year of college. All female student-athletes in ECAC Hockey and Hockey East are eligible, and each conference submitted a league nominee for consideration. Hughes is the second Yale player to earn the honor, following Jackee Snikeris '11, who won it last year. She receives a post-graduate scholarship of $10,000.
Hughes is the 16th recipient of the Sarah Devens Award.
"I am honored to be recognized among the list of prior recipients and Sarah Devens," said Hughes. "Sarah's legacy as a hardworking and accomplished student-athlete is inspiring. I am grateful to accept this scholarship. I know it will help me going forward."
The 31st different person to captain the Yale women's ice hockey team in its 35-year varsity history, Hughes led the team in assists (11) and points (15) this past season. She was among Yale's top four scorers every season of her career, and led the team in goals (a career-high 10) in 2010-11.
Hughes did not miss a game in her career, finishing with 30 goals and 31 assists for 61 points in 116 games. She is in Yale's career top 20 for goals (20th), assists (t-19th) and points (20th). She has twice earned Yale's Mandi Schwartz Award for courage, grit and determination.
Hughes has also excelled in the classroom, and will receive her fourth ECAC Hockey All-Academic honor this year. She is an American studies major and intends to go to business school to learn more about non-profit management after a few years of gaining work experience.
In addition to her academic and athletic accomplishments, Hughes has truly shined in her commitment to community service. In addition to winning the Devens Award, she is also a finalist for three national awards for her humanitarian leadership efforts.
Hughes is one of five finalists for the BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award, which includes every male and female NCAA hockey player in Division I and Division III. The winner of the Hockey Humanitarian Award will be announced in a ceremony on Friday, Apr. 6, as part of the 2012 NCAA Frozen Four in Tampa, Fla.
That same day, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports announces the winners of its Giant Steps Award. Hughes and the charity she started, the Mandi Schwartz Foundation, are one of three finalists for in the "Community Organization" category.
Hughes is also one of five collegiate finalists for the Coach Wooden Citizenship Cup, presented to two distinguished athletes -- one collegiate and one professional -- for their character and leadership both on and off the field and their contributions to sport and society. The winner of the Coach Wooden Citizenship Cup will be announced Wednesday, Apr. 25, in a ceremony in Atlanta, Ga.
Hughes' efforts to help save lives have been inspired by her teammate Mandi Schwartz '10 (1988-2011). Mandi's battle with cancer has led Hughes to start a number of initiatives, including the Mandi Schwartz Foundation. Mandi passed away Apr. 3, 2011, after battling cancer for more than two years.
Led by Hughes, Yale has organized a pair of major annual events in Mandi's name. The Mandi Schwartz Marrow Donor Registration Drive at Yale -- led each April by the women's ice hockey, football and field hockey teams -- has added nearly 2,500 potential marrow donors to the Be The Match registry and located at least six genetic matches for patients with life-threatening illnesses. The women's ice hockey team also has held a "White Out for Mandi" fundraiser game at Ingalls Rink each of the past two falls. Those games have raised more than $40,000.
Hughes started the Mandi Schwartz Foundation to help keep Mandi's legacy of helping others alive. In addition to the White Out, the women's ice hockey team raised money for the foundation by participating -- along with the Yale men's ice hockey team -- in the season-long "Goals for Good" campaign. Through that campaign, ECAC Hockey teams competed against each other to see who could raise the most money for charity.
Hughes is also her team's representative for Yale Athletics' Thomas W. Ford '42 Community Outreach Program and has been involved in many team events such as Youth Days and Skate with the Players. She also has volunteered as a coach with Yale Youth Hockey.
Hughes and the Bulldogs also continue to spend time with their adopted teammate Giana, a local 10-year-old girl who recently had surgery for a brain tumor. Those community service efforts helped Yale, as a team, earn the New Haven Register's "Dave Solomon Memorial Sports Persons of the Year Award" for 2011.
Hughes is a graduate of Hotchkiss School. She was team captain and All-New England at Hotchkiss and also played for the Connecticut Stars, earning two bronze medals and one silver at Nationals.

Thank you both for replying to my post. I really appreciate the help.
All of the schools i am waitlisted at do not rank their waitlist. They also do not know the percentage of students that make it off the list. All of them said something like "it's tough to say" when asked about it. The waitlists are also not ranked. Simply put, i have no idea how the porcess works because they akl said that they just start pulling files after the first deposit deadline. They would not openly discuss their process with me. The final students will be added from the waitlist shortly after the july deposits are collected. A few more may be added after the orientation but it is unlikely. So far i have tried to familiarize myself with the schools and admissions staff. I have added supplemental material in the form of letters of recommendation and evalutions. I have also toured umaine. I will be attending an open house at unh and scheduling a tour at suffolk. I dont know that there is anything else i should do. Probably not. The admissions staff knows who i am so hopefully they liked me an that is enough to pull my file over the others. I have also told all of them that they are my first choice. I figured it may be q white lie but it is a good marketing strategy.
I do have to say that i was not impressed by umaine. The building was a dump and the admissions staff i met with did not seem qualified. They didnt really know how to hold a conversation. Hard to explain i guess. I toured nesl and it was a far better experience. The building and library were leaps and bounds above umaine. I know the building isnt a good way to judge the institution and its academic program but i was shocked at the difference. Umaine is a tier 3 and nesl is a tier 4. You would never know it visiting their campus. I will be sitting in on a class or 2 at each. Hopefully that will allow me to better judge what type of education i will be receiving.
As far as fcsl goes...... i am sorry if i sounded immature. I did not mean that i will jot be attending fcsl based solely on what some random internet forum post said. What i mean is that there are too many risks for me to take to go there. It also sounds like i would need to live in jacksonville to find a job. I plan on working in nh or mass after graduation. My point was that i dont feel that fcsl is a prestigious school. It almost looks to be a transitional school. I just dont trust it and i dpont believe that i will receive a good formal education if i go there. I really wanted to go there too. They even gave me a scholarship. It sounds like everyone gets a scholarship though. So im really not that special haha

It sounds like you are doing everything right. There is not much more you can do other than visit the school, supplement your application, and make some contacts with the admissions officers. If you want to practice in New England or New Hampshire then UNH/Franklin Pierce not sure what it is called now, NESL, or Suffolk are your best options. One thing to realize is that the tier 3/4 label makes absolutely no sense. As you stated you thought NESL was better than Maine. You probably did much more research than U.S. News & World report does. You visited the school and interacted with students, admissions officers, faculty etc.
You woudl think U.S. News would do something along those lines, but they do nowhere near that much work. Instead the formula quite literally works like this. 60% of a schools ranking is based on Lawyers/Judges from across the country marking a scantron of Excellent, Very Good, Good, or marginal. A judge in South Dakota checks the Good box for Florida International one year having never been to Miami or meeting a student from the school, but he checks a box that is 60% of the schools ranking. The next 20% is based on employment 9 months after graduation, which would make perfect sense. EXCEPT what does employed mean? Fry cook at McDonald's employed, unpaid legal intern that is employment as well, Managing Partner at X Mega Law Firm also counts as employment and neither the ABA or U.S. News sees any problem with counting Fry Cook at Mcdonald's or Managing Partner at a law firm as equal. I think there is a slight disparity between those two jobs, but that is just me.
To round out the remaining 20% of their ranking, I believe 2.5% is based on percentage of applicants accepted. So what do law schools do with this? Send out tons of fee waivers to people they have absolutely no intention of admitting. This way they can reject a bunch of people with 2.6 GPA's and 142 LSATS. Again, there is no measurement of the qualify of applicant they rejected just pure numbers. The ABA does track the numbers of the applicants, but that would be to much work for U.S. News they are trying to sell magazines at a profit remember.
Then irrelevant things like a school's bar passage rate make up you guessed it 2% of a school's ranking. I personally think passing the bar is pretty important and so does every State in America, because you can't practice law without passing the bar, but what does that matter? Then LSAT makes up 10%, which is completely legitimate.
Then Undergrad GPA makes up the rest, but this is manipulated as well. Again, U.S. News fails to look with any depth at the numbers in front of them. The LSAT is a uniform so it cannot be manipulated as is the bar exam so those would seem to be good criteria to base a school's ranking on, but they make up 12%. Undergrad GPA on the other hand is completely susceptible to manipulation, because a 4.0 in underwater basket weaving is better than a 2.9 in Molecular Biology according to U.S. News. Does U.S. News distinguish between majors? Again, no they fail to look with any depth at what they are publishing. I benefited significantly from this and received a ton of scholarship money from several schools for having played college basketball. This was my transcript.
Varsity Basketball A
Theory of Basketball A
Fundamentals of Basketball A
Principles of Basketball A
Varsity Conditioning A
Weightlifting A
These were all 1 unit classes, but put that together over 8 semesters and 48 FREE A's. Does U.S. News care that they are complete B.S. no. Some other guy busting his ass in a chemistry lab to pull a 3.2 does not get the scholarship money, because U.S. News does care that he actually learned something in college. All they care about is my inflated GPA. As a result of this essentially bogus formula tier 2/3/4 schools change positions frequently every year and I believe right now there is a 14 way tie for 93rd place. A school like University of San Francisco over the past 4 years has gone from 73rd, to tier 3, to 84, to the 14 way tie in 93rd place. Do you what changed at the school over those 4 years? You guessed it NOTHING. It miraculously gets worse and improves while retaining the same professors, course offerings, etc. For all the reasons I stated above the ABA and AALS on their website expressly say DO NOT LISTEN TO THE RANKINGS. U.S. News is a unregulated magazine that publishes whatever they want. They are not guided by anything, except a desire to sell magazines. They have a 1st amendment right to give their subjective unfounded opinions on things. Unfortunately, people take these rankings as if they are gospel, but they literally bogus look at the facts.
The point of that whole rant is that you really should not take U.S. News Ranking seriously. Certainly Harvard, Yale, etc are phenomenal schools and the elite schools can be properly ranked. However, outside of the top 25 or so schools there is no way to reliably measure the schools. It sounds like you are looking at tier 3/4 schools, which will provide you with a good education. Not a Harvard one, but a good education. NESL, SUFFOLK, FRANKLIN PIERCE/UNH can all open up doors for you in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. Wait-lists suck, but it sounds like you have a good impression and rapport with NESL and they accepted you. It might be best to just go with them if that is the location you want to live in. I got accepted into Franklin Pierce and nearly attended the school. I was really impressed with everyone I dealt with there and I have a friend that attended Suffolk and enjoyed it. Can't say anything personally about Maine or NESL, but any school that keeps ABA accreditation is reputable. Good luck to you.

There is no doubt going to a more prestigious school helps, but I don't think there are many schools that prospective employers consider "prestigious". Harvard, Yale, Stanford, NYU, etc are certainly prestigious and if you are capable of getting into those schools pack your bags and go! You will have a lot more opportunities going to schools in the T14. However, there are only 14 T14 schools. The majority of lawyers come from the other 186 ABA schools. I don't think there is much difference in prestige between Gonzaga and Hofstra or University or San Francisco and Southwestern. The list goes on and on the majority of these schools will teach you the law pretty much equally. Every ABA school is based on the Harvard method started in the late 1800's and if you graduate and pass the bar you know approximately the same as every other person who passed that year.
If you pass the bar and have a Harvard degree you are in a pretty good spot. Most Harvard grads or T14 students get more than one job offer. Going to a tier 4 school I have turned down jobs, so I can only imagine how many opportunities come to a T14 grad. There simply are not enough T14 graduates to fill the numerous vacancies that exist in America. Most T14 students go into BigLaw if that is your goal then go to a T14 school. The majority of D.A., Public Defender, Medium, Small firms etc do not have Harvard Grads working there. Bottom line is there are a large number of jobs if you graduate from an ABA school and pass the bar. If you go to a truly "PRESTIGIOUS" school in the T14 you are set. If you go to New England, Suffolk, Franklin Pierce, Northeastern, or any of the other mid level schools in Boston I don't think there is much of a difference in employment opportunities. In the Boston area I am speculating Harvard grads get top priority. NYU & Colombia Grads also get a look, but outside of those I don't think any other "PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOLS" are present. I might be missing one or two in the area, but very few schools have enough PRESTIGE to guarantee you a walk in the park.

Bureau Sets Decision-Makers Field Conference
by L. Greer Price, NM Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources
SOCORRO, N.M., May 7, 2007 – On May 16-18, 2007, the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources will conduct its fifth Decision-Makers Field Conference, in cooperation with the Office of the State Engineer and a number of other groups who provided technical, financial, and logistic support. This year's conference will focus on Water Issues on the Middle Rio Grande from San Acacia to Elephant Butte and will be based in Socorro, N.M.
The conferences generally draw 40 to 45 decision makers, by invitation only.
First conducted in 2001, these field conferences are designed to address a wide range of geologic, hydrologic, natural resource, and environmental issues affecting the future of New Mexico and its citizens. Specifically intended for a mix of national, state, and local political leaders, agency heads, industry leaders, environmental leaders, and other decision makers, the conferences provide an opportunity to learn first-hand about natural resource problems, opportunities, and potential solutions from some of the top experts in the field.
The conferences offer a chance to visit many of the sites involved in legislative concerns and to hear balanced opinions regarding current scientific knowledge on these matters. The trips stimulate on-site debates about public policy matters, strategies for growth, and methods for solving problems.
The trips also offer an opportunity for state agencies and disparate groups to demonstrate to decision- makers their ability to work cooperatively and deal constructively with real-world issues.
Previous conferences have addressed diverse topics including Water, Watersheds, and Land Use in the Santa Fe Region; New Mexico's Energy, Present and Future; Water Resources of the Lower Pecos Region; and Mining in New Mexico.
This year's conference will include stops along the San Acacia reach of the Rio Grande, addressing topics that include
- surface water management and infrastructure,
- the physical and biological framework,
- agricultural-to-urban water transfers,
- opportunities for long-term bosque preservation,
- floodplain issues, and
- forging a sustainable water policy for the Middle Rio Grande.
The printed guidebook developed to accompany the conference provides a broad overview of these topics in 25 non-technical papers and will be available to the general public following the conference, through the publication sales office at the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources in Socorro (505-835-5490).
The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources is a non-regulatory research and service division of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro. The bureau has served as the geological survey for the state of New Mexico since 1927.

Feline, (family Felidae), any of 37 cat species that among others include the cheetah, puma, jaguar, leopard, lion, lynx, tiger, and domestic cat. Cats are native to almost every region on Earth, with the exception of Australia and Antarctica. They are carnivorous mammals that live in a wide variety of habitats, but they are typically woodland animals.
Most cats are patterned with spots, stripes, or rosettes, but some, such as the puma (Puma concolor), jaguarundi (Herpailurus yaguarondi), and lion (Panthera leo), are uniform in colour. Black or nearly black coats occur in individuals of several species. Although lynx (genus Lynx) have a stubby tail, most cats have a long tail that makes up about a third of the animal's total length. The head is characterized by a short nose and round face, usually with short ears. The only cat with a well-developed mane is the male African lion. Cat feet have sharp claws that are retractile except in the cheetah. In most felids the male is larger than the female.
Cats are noted for purring when content and for snarling, howling, or spitting when in conflict with another of their kind. The so-called "big cats" (genus Panthera), especially the lion, often roar, growl, or shriek. Usually, however, cats are silent. Many cats use "clawing trees," upon which they leave the marks of their claws as they stand and drag their front feet downward with the claws extended. Whether such behaviour is for the purpose of cleaning or sharpening the claws or simply to stretch is debatable, but the behaviour is innate; kittens raised in isolation soon begin to claw objects.
The larger cats are strong, fierce, and extremely dangerous when hungry. Because of their large size, they occasionally attack humans. Although tigers and leopards are most noted as man-eaters, lions and jaguars can also be dangerous. In North America the puma, also known as the cougar or mountain lion, tends to avoid contact with humans, but a few attacks occur annually, especially in areas where development encroaches on areas of high puma density, such as the western United States. Similarly, attacks on livestock often necessitate removal of problem animals.
The fur of some cats is sometimes in great demand, especially fur with contrasting colours and patterns such as spots or stripes. The demand is such that some rare cats are hunted and trapped illegally and are in danger of becoming extinct. In North America none of the cats used by the fur trade is endangered. Strict regulations allow a sustainable take of animals from healthy populations of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), bobcat (Lynx rufus), and puma.
Natural history
The lion, tiger (Panthera tigris), and cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) are mainly terrestrial, but they are agile climbers; the leopard (Panthera pardus), jaguar (P. onca), ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), and other cats are very much at home in trees. The larger cats range over large areas, often roving alone or with a companion. Occasionally one may become a member of a family group. Only lions are gregarious, with prides consisting of as many as 30 individuals.
Almost all cats feed on small mammals and birds or on large herbivores such as deer and various types of antelope. The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) feeds largely on fishes and clams or snails and thus fits into a slightly different niche than that of most cats. The flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is the only species known to feed to any extent on vegetation such as fruit and sweet potatoes. Food caching occurs in larger cats, and some may drag their kill into a tree or place it under a bush after the initial gorging. Cats live on a feast-or-famine routine, gorging themselves when a kill is made and then fasting for several days.
Most hunting is done using vision and hearing. Typically solitary while hunting, a cat steals up to its prey on padded feet. Long, sensitive whiskers on the face aid the cat during the stalking of the prey by brushing against obstacles and enabling the cat to avoid making excessive noise. When close to its prey, the cat overwhelms it in a short, quick rush or leap. Cats can move very fast in a short dash but are not built for sustained speed. The cheetah, which usually hunts during the day, is credited with being the speediest of mammals, capable of speeds of more than 100 km per hour (62 mph). Cats rely on superior speed and reflexes to overtake their dodging prey, which often has greater endurance. If overtaken, the prey is thrown down and dispatched with a deep bite, usually to the neck.
The gestation period of most smaller cats is approximately two months, and that of the larger cats is closer to four months. One to six kittens make up the usual litter. Female cats may have from four to eight nipples. The breeding season usually is in the late winter or early spring. Some cats (lions, tigers, and leopards) are capable of breeding at any time during the year, and many species are induced ovulators, ovulation being induced by hormones released during copulation. The size of the animal does not seem to determine the litter size, number of litters, or time of the breeding season. In the larger cats, however, the initial breeding age is older; the females may be three or four years of age and males as old as five or six. Smaller cats may breed when less than a year old. Most litters are born in places seldom disturbed, such as in a rocky cavern, under a fallen tree, or in a dense thicket. The serval (Leptailurus serval) uses an old porcupine or aardvark burrow. In most species the male does not aid in the care and raising of the young, and in fact the female may have to guard against his attacks on the kittens.
Form and function
The agility of a cat is evident in its anatomy. The clavicle, or collarbone, is much reduced in size. It does not connect with other bones but is buried in the muscles of the shoulder region. This allows the animal to spring on its prey without danger of breaking the bone. The hind legs are well developed, with powerful muscles that propel the cat in its spring toward or onto prey. In addition to the power of the hind legs, the animal uses strong back muscles to straighten the spinal column and provide extra force in springing and running.
Cats are generally nocturnal in habit. Their large eyes are especially adapted for seeing at night. The retina has a layer of guanine called the tapetum lucidum, which reflects light and causes the eyes to shine at night when illuminated. Cats have good senses of sight and hearing, but their sense of smell is not as developed as that of the canids, a fact suggested by the cat's short snout.
A predisposition to cleanliness is well established among cats. They groom themselves with their rasping tongue, preening at length after a meal. Feces and urine are covered as a matter of habit. Cats differ in their reaction to water; most species are reluctant to enter it but will swim readily when necessary. Nervous tail wagging is common to all cats, from the lion to the house cat. Kittens learn it from the mother; the behaviour is associated with play, which is a prelude to predation as an adult.
Cats are the most highly specialized of the terrestrial flesh-eating mammals. They are powerfully built, with a large brain and strong teeth. The teeth are adapted to three functions: stabbing (canines), anchoring (canines), and cutting (carnassial molars). Cats have no flat-crowned crushing teeth and thus do not chew or grind their food but instead cut it. All cats are adapted to be strict flesh eaters, an assumption made primarily on the basis of their digestive tract and dentition. In keeping with a carnivorous habit, the cat has a simple gut; the small intestine is only about three times the length of the body. The tongue in all cats has a patch of sharp, backward-directed spines near the tip, which has the appearance and feel of a coarse file; these spines help the cat lap up liquids and groom itself. There are five padded toes on the front foot and four on the rear. The first toe and its pad on the front foot are raised so that only four toes register in a track.
Cats have a reduced number of premolar and molar teeth; the typical dental formula includes only 30 teeth. The incisors are small and chisel-like, the canines long and pointed. The premolars are sharp, and occasionally an upper premolar may be lacking. The lower molar is elongate and sharp, the upper molar rudimentary. Because of the reduction in the number and size of the cheek teeth, a space remains between the canines and premolars in all cats except the cheetah. Felids form the most strictly carnivorous group in the order Carnivora, and the highly developed carnassial teeth reflect this specialized food habit. There is little if any specialization in the teeth for grinding or chewing. The strong masseter muscles, which raise the lower jaw, restrict lateral movement. The jaw primarily moves vertically for holding the prey in a viselike grip and for slicing off pieces of meat with the carnassials. Meat is thus cut off and swallowed in relatively unchewed chunks that are broken down by strong enzymes and acids in the digestive tract.
Evolution and classification
The history of the cat family can be traced through the fossil record to the Late Eocene Epoch (about 37 million years ago). The "cat pattern" seems to have been established very early in the evolution of mammals, for the early cats were already typical cats at a time when the ancestors of most other modern mammalian species were scarcely recognizable. Cats of the subfamily Felinae appeared in western Eurasia about 10 million years ago and have continued almost unchanged into modern times. Genetic studies examining living and fossil pantherines—cats of the subfamily Pantherinae—suggest that the pantherine lineage emerged in central Asia some 16 million years ago and subsequently spread to other continents.Howard James Stains Serge Lariviere

Product Description
Hot Diamonds Sterling Silver Earrings
Beautiful solid sterling silver post earrings, plated with rhodium; one diamond on each earring.
Silver was once called the 'lunar' metal – its appearance being cold and luminous, similar to the moon's reflection on water. It has always been a valuable metal, ever since it was discovered and first mined in Anatolia (now Turkey), more than 6,000 years ago. Classed as a 'Noble' metal, silver has a stable chemical structure that resists oxidisation and corrosion from acids.
At Hot Diamonds we're proud to use quality sterling silver in our silver jewelry collections. Sterling silver is an alloy – 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper. Copper is added to fine silver so that it becomes more workable and durable, whilst retaining all of its beauty.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is the hardest of all precious metals and is extremely expensive. At Hot Diamonds, we plate all of our sterling silver jewelry with rhodium to ensure that our products have the most wear resistant finish possible, and that our sterling silver reflects light beautifully.
Diamond Classification – The 4 C's
The quality of diamonds can be graded using the 4 C's, namely: carat; cut; colour and clarity.
Carat refers to the weight of diamonds. One carat (0.2 grams) is often divided into 100 points, so that a diamond's weight can be easily and accurately measured. For example, a one point diamond is a diamond that is 1/100th of a carat in weight. We use both one and two point diamonds in our jewelry collections. Where Hot Diamonds jewelry is set with two point diamonds, this will be noted within the product specifications section for the product on the website.
The cut of a diamond is often considered to be the most important attribute. Even diamonds with perfect colour and clarity can lose brilliance if cut poorly. Our diamonds are always brilliant cut to maximise on reflection and sparkle.
Most brilliant cut diamonds are round in shape, and have a total of 58 facets, from the table to the cullet (or from the top to the bottom in non-technical terms). These triangular and kite shaped facets are carefully positioned so that light coming through them interplays to greatly enhance brilliance. This attention to craftsmanship ensures that our diamond-set jewelry will always be beautifully reflective. Colour
The colour scale of a diamond refers to how white a diamond looks. The alphabetical scale is graded from 'D' which is the whitest, to 'Z', which is very brown. Why not consider 'A' to be the whitest colour rather than 'D', we hear you ask? This is in case a diamond even more white than the current whitest diamond is ever found!
Clarity refers to the lack of internal flaws and inclusions within a diamond. The scale of clarity for diamonds runs from FL (meaning flawless) to I3 (meaning clearly visible imperfections to the naked eye).

Plum seed oil (huile vierge de prune) is a specialty oil from south west France pressed from seeds of d'agen prune plums. Our oil gained recognition after it won the golden prize at the 2002 SIAL Paris International Food Show. Plum oil is used to bring "an accent" to sauces and delicately perfumes vinaigrettes and bakery with an almond like aroma.
Our farm is located in Pujols, South West France, famous for the typical architecture it inherited from the middle age when it was an important stop on the Way of St James.
This pork was unlike anything I have ever had. The meat was succulent and falling apart with a skin so crisp that it snapped when you took a bite. The layer of fat behind the skin had transformed into a velvety layer of flavour.
For skin care companies, the good marketing image of the plum and the profile of plum oil are a good match.

Author Notes: Sometimes (actually pretty often) I eat Nutella out of the jar for breakfast. I'll eat it in pretty much any form. I've seen recipes for Nutella panna cotta, but I generally like pudding better than panna cotta, so I thought I'd try to come up with a pudding recipe. After two recent failed attempts at Nutella fudge, I know that Nutella scorches easily and loses its taste when heated too much. So I thought I'd try with good bittersweet chocolate and hazelnuts instead -- a little more adult than Nutella, and less easy to scorch. —Arathi
Food52 Review: Arathi had us at Nutella. Of course, when we read past the recipe title and saw how she steeped the milk with freshly roasted hazelnuts and vanilla before making the base, and that she used Dorie Greenspan's blender method to ensure a velvety mouthfeel, we knew we were in the hands of a pudding expert. This is nursery food with a twist, and it truly tastes like Nutella -- only better. We couldn't resist stealing pinches of the vanilla milk-soaked hazelnuts after we strained them from the base, and we highly suggest you do the same. -A&M —The Editors
Serves: 8
1 1/2
cups whole hazelnuts
cups whole milk
cup half and half
vanilla bean
extra-large egg yolks
tablespoons cornstarch, sifted
cup sugar
large pinch salt
oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
tablespoons butter
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes. Let cool. When cool, put in a clean towel and rub vigorously to remove skins (you can also just use your fingers). It's okay if some skin is left on -- you're going to strain later.
- Chop the cooled hazelnuts to a coarse crumb in a food processor.
- Make the hazelnut-infused cream: Put the milk and half and half in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and add both the bean and seeds to the milk. Add the hazelnuts and heat to scalding over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk the egg yolks, cornstarch, sugar and salt together in a large bowl until thick and pale yellow.
- In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Strain the milk-hazelnut mixture into the egg yolk mixture, half a cup at a time, whisking after each addition until you've added about a cup and a half. Then strain and whisk in the rest of the milk. Return to the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the custard is thick and starts to bubble, about 3 minutes.
- Strain the thickened custard into a clean bowl. Stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture.
- Optional, but highly recommended: Scrape the entire pudding into a blender or food processor and process for about 30 seconds, until silky-smooth. I learned this from Dorie Greenspan's pudding recipes, and it really gives the pudding a wonderful lightness.
- Spoon the pudding into small ramekins or dessert cups, cover with plastic wrap and chill, overnight if possible. DO NOT eat it unchilled -- right after you make it the flavors will not have blended and will taste a little off.

There's no better way to spend a bridal weekend than at The Woods Hole Inn! Last weekend we had brides galore preparing and honeymooning with us. It felt like a scene out of "Philadelphia Story" with boxes full of beautiful hydrangea and lilies bouquets delivered to our front desk.
Surrounded with smiling friends and family, several bottles of hairspray and two very busy makeup artists, the bride in Room 5 glowed as her mother whispered "Good luck." We were lucky to get a few snapshots while she was getting ready. I loved the peek-a-boo through one of our vintage screens.
We also had a honeymooning couple who celebrated all evening and collapsed here for their first night as Mr. and Mrs. They enjoyed Sara's French toast bread pudding, strawberries, blueberries and several cups of strong coffee in the morning. Good luck and come back next year!
What a fun weekend to have celebrating guests occupying almost every room. We love hosting wedding parties here at the inn and cannot wait for our next batch of brides to roll in! (…Like tomorrow!)

How inaugural app mines data
Looking for a public toilet using the new Inauguration smartphone app? That might just land you on left-leaning email lists or solicited in coming years to be a Democratic campaign donor.
Thousands have downloaded the free program since its release Monday by the official Presidential Inaugural Committee, but few are likely to notice that the terms-of-service and privacy statement — aka the fine print — give the committee permission to share their data "with candidates, organizations, groups or causes that we believe have similar political viewpoints, principles or objectives."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Inauguration 2013 prep)
Users at various places in the app and on the PIC's website are asked for their mobile phone numbers, email and home addresses, as well as permission to locate devices by GPS. Not all of that is required to use some of the functions of the app.
The legalistic language also gives the PIC use of any activity, postings or comments made via the app or the 2013pic.org website "without limitation in advertising, fundraising and other communications in support of PIC and the principles of the Democratic party, without any right of compensation or attribution."
( PHOTOS: Celebrities expected at Inauguration 2013)
It's a strikingly partisan side of the efforts from a group that is specifically referenced on the website of the U.S. Office of Governmental Ethics as "not a political organization." The four honorary chairmen of the PIC, in fact, are America's four living ex-presidents, two of whom are Republicans.
"It seems like classic bait-and-switch," said Kathy Kiely, managing editor of the Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit focused on fostering openness and transparency in government. "This is a committee that's formed to throw a celebration for an event that should be nonpartisan. Theoretically, the whole country should be involved. It's a patriotic, banners-and-bunting and parades kind of day. And oh, by the way, if you use this app, we may be harvesting your emails and sharing it with our friends in the Democratic Party."
PIC spokeswoman Addie Whisenant defended the group's data-mining efforts.
(Also on POLITICO: Inauguration 2013: The official schedule)
"Every four years, the Presidential Inaugural Committee is formed based on the principles of the incoming president and is responsible for putting on official inauguration events for all Americans to celebrate the election of a president," she said late Tuesday in an emailed statement. "Regardless of party, it is appropriate for a president's Inaugural Committee to support and reflect their party's ideals and causes. In bipartisan cooperation and to honor their service to the country, the PIC has traditionally asked former presidents to serve as honorary co-chairs on the Inaugural Committee."
But Greg Jenkins, chairman of the 2005 Presidential Inaugural Committee that oversaw the second inaugural of President George W. Bush, said they didn't think of building contact lists for future campaigns when they put on that year's events.
"It's not that anybody says to operate from a non-partisan point of view, but it's thought of as an all-for-one, Kumbaya effort," Jenkins said. "You don't try to make it look Republican or Democratic. You wrap yourself around the presidency, not the president."
The PIC is a private nonprofit created every four years and usually managed by alumni of the winning presidential campaigns. Thus, it's no surprise to find President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina and Messina's deputy Stephanie Cutter among prominent figures listed as overseeing key elements of the weekend's festivities.
The PIC also relies on rent-free office space from the General Services Administration and is, thus, a beneficiary of public resources.

Yesterday, we reported on the tragic story of Ella Edwards, the grieving 61-year-old mom who started a Change.org petition to have her deceased son Jermaine's $10,800 student loan forgiven. Today, we have a great update to this story: Tom Joyner has pledged to pay the loan on Edwards' behalf. (Thanks again to our Facebook friend EarthyGirls Trapp for helping us keep an eye on this story.)
Edwards appeared this morning on the "Tom Joyner Morning Show," telling listeners about her situation. (A transcript of the show is available on BlackAmericaWeb.com.) Edwards said her son died at the age of 24 of what has been deemed natural causes. There had been a life insurance policy (opened in 1986), but he died on March 9, 2009, six days after the final payment on her policy. So the insurance company refused to pay, she said.
Edwards has been paying the debt, but occasionally, the payment is late. She will call the loan administrators — "The National Co-League Trust First Marblehead out of Boston, Massachusetts," she said – to give them advanced warning, but they still call to collect.

"Carrie," the horror cult classic based on novelist Stephen King's great girl roar against bullies, body, religion and mom, is back on the big screen with more teen trauma than ever and a new party dress for the prom.
And yet….
Directed by "Boys Don't Cry's" Kimberly Peirce and starring an excellent Chloë Grace Moretz with a truly troubling Julianne Moore as Mama, "Carrie" should have delivered more with the material in the filmmaker's feminist hands.
Instead, Peirce has done a remaking rather than a reimagining. Echoes of the 1976 original, the Brian De Palma-Sissy Spacek-Piper Laurie tirade that first rocked the cradle, abound.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
This is not to dismiss "Carrie" as a bad movie; it is not. Peirce has made good use of all the new-age technology at her disposal — more ways to exploit and expose the story's central image of blood and show off Carrie's telekinetic powers. Screenwriters Lawrence D. Cohen and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa have added a prominent spot for those modern-day cyber-bully buddies — cellphones and social networks — with the widespread public humiliation they afford never more relevant.
But still….
King came up with such a compelling and provocative conceit in addressing the difficulties of adolescent girls, particularly ones who feel like freaks already and are ill-equipped to contend with massive changes in a body they don't yet understand. I had hoped that Peirce — whose cut on transgender teens in 1999's "Boys" was so incisively and inventively rendered, winning an Oscar for Hilary Swank — would find something more to say about the way gender politics have changed since the 1970s.
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
The current "Carrie," however, is never able to get past De Palma's singular imprint to make a distinctive statement of its own.
The film opens with a real sense of possibility. Peirce offers up a tragic and terrifying piece of the Carrie puzzle that's not made it to screen before — a genesis moment, if you will. But then the movie settles into the now-familiar tale of Carrie's high school terrors.
A girl from a strange family with a dead father and a weird mother, Carrie White has been the butt of jokes from the day she set foot in school. Sheltered, repressed and hovered over by a mother who thinks sex is a sin and menstruation God's curse, Carrie is completely unaware of the physical changes that are coming. So when she gets her first period in first period — in the communal showers after gym class — the mean girls turn on her with a vengeance, pelting her with tampons and taunts.
SNEAKS: Movie trailers, full coverage
It is a powerful image, one that De Palma made iconic. The steam of the shower, Carrie naked, the hysteria at seeing the blood, the rain of sanitary napkins, all work to put everyone on notice that the film intends to make you as uncomfortable as possible.
Peirce has shot it with a great deal of conviction, the kind that will shake anyone who has never seen the moment before. What's interesting is that it carries relevance today, in a time when ads for "feminine protection" products fill the TV screen and teen magazines. But break new ground? It does not.
From there, the film starts its steady, deadly march toward that devastating prom and that other iconic image of newly crowned prom queen Carrie drenched in a bucket of blood, the full force of her telekinetic rage unleashed against her tormentors.

All the players and the plays are basically as King envisioned them. Miss Desjardin (Judy Greer) is the gym teacher who tries to salvage a bit of Carrie's pride. Chris (Portia Doubleday) is the main meanie who works overtime to make Carrie's life a living hell, with the help of her bad-boy boyfriend Billy (Alex Russell). Sue (Gabriella Wilde) is the popular good girl who decides to pay penance for Carrie's locker-room humiliation by pressing her boyfriend, the dreamy jock Tommy Ross (Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to the prom.
Meanwhile, Carrie's on her own journey of empowerment. She starts warming up for the big event by facing off against Mama at home. Lots of anger and flying objects. The insane proselytizing to which the girl is subjected, plus the closet her mother reserves for punishment and praying, somehow seem terrifyingly possible still.
As good as Moretz has been in the literary high of "Hugo" and the bruising fun of "Kick-Ass," Peirce pulls out a sensitivity and depth in the young actress that brings her performance to a new level. And Moore has never had a better handle on demented.
But except for a ridiculously sanitized new ending, new "Carrie" is not that different from old "Carrie." And that's a crying shame.
