(The Root) —
"I have a serious crush on a co-worker. I'm not sure if he has a girlfriend. Any advice on how I can begin to drop hints so that it's not overwhelming but I can get an idea if he's interested and available?" —G.B.
My usual approach to dating is "no risk, no reward," and I encourage women to be proactive about making it known that they are friendly, interested and available to date. One of the ways to do so would be to chat up the guy you're checking for, and if the conversation goes well, casually suggest a hangout session — maybe lunch some day? If he's remotely interested, he will follow up. During the meal, to get the information you want, you can ask him, "Are you in a relationship?"
If he's tied up in a situation, keep things strictly professional and about business going forward. (Being the other woman in general is bad enough. At the office, it's career suicide.) If he's single, you'll know by the way he follows up after lunch whether he's interested. If he calls and/or asks to hang out again: He is. If he gives you the silent treatment or just the bare minimum of conversation: He's not.
Can't read him? Err on the side of caution and drop it. If he is interested at the level you want, he'll make it obvious, at least after hours.
I've given you what you want, but now I also have to be a responsible killjoy and tell you to be careful what you ask for. Despite the prevalence of office hookups — 47 percent of people said they had observed a workplace romance, according to a study by employee-benefits provider Workplace Options — I'm no fan of them, and I'd actually discourage you from pursuing one.
That's not a popular opinion these days, since the same study found that 84 percent of employees ages 18 to 29 had no qualms about dating a co-worker. And many supporters of office hookups point to the fruitful marriage of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, one of the most idolized relationships in the nation, which started in the workplace.
Still, I have to caution you. I haven't forgotten an interaction between my dad and his co-worker. They were discussing some ongoing drama between two dating colleagues and the friend crassly responded, "You don't [crap] where you eat." What he meant in his less than pleasant way is that you don't make a mess in a place that is essential to your well-being, like at the job, where the check pays for your food, shelter and other essentials.
Several years ago, I was in situation similar to yours. I was the new girl at the office, and there was a guy who was well-read, charming, witty and dressed as if he had a stylist. Of course, I was interested.
One day I saw the office manager looking extremely tense. As we were talking, I caught a glimpse from his window of four of my co-workers arguing on a street corner: one man, three women.
That suave guy I was so interested in? That was him. He was in relationships with all three women, literally one lady in each corner of the office. Somehow they had figured out what he was up to and staged an impromptu confrontation in a conference room. The stressed manager had caught wind of the situation and broke it up shortly before I'd encountered him. He had instructed everyone involved to "take it outside!"
While I was looking out that window, suddenly one of the women threw a cup of water on the playboy, soaking his pristine suit. I heard a bunch of gasps and looked up to see the whole back row of the office watching the scene, too. That incident — and all the juicy rumors surrounding it — supplied the leading office gossip from that day until I switched jobs months later.
A "boys will be boys" attitude allowed the guy to get off pretty much unscathed. The women were viewed as irresponsible, naive and "emotional." I heard he was promoted eventually. Those women languished at the same tier until they left.
I hope by now you have a deeper understanding of what you could be walking into. If you're still going to pursue your interest, hope for the best, and be over-prepared for the worst.
Good luck!

Glenmorangie Artein
Artein is a recent release by Glenmorangie. Per the ad copy, "Scots Gaelic for stone 'Artein' is an intriguing assemblage of 15 and 21 Years Old Glenmorangie, extra matured in 'Super Tuscan' wine casks." Those wine casks are said to be Sassicaia, a Bordeaux style Tuscan wine.
Glenmorangie Artein, 15 years old, 46% abv ($80)
The nose on this is sweet and perfumed with lots of fruit and floral notes. I get pears, rosewater and fruit cocktail. The palate surprises with a dry malt early on cushioned by the perfume which then fades into those syrupy, floral notes that were on the nose and then a quite sweet white grape juice. The finish is a slightly malty rosewater reduction.
I thought this was fine, but it certainly didn't excite me much. On balance it's a bit too sweet, and I must admit, perfume and flowers are not my ideal flavor notes. It takes its place among many other good but not great malts.
Labels: Glenmorangie, Scotch
2 comments:
Had a chance to sample this some time back when it first came out. Was not very impressed with the profile. Enjoy Redbreat and Glenmorangie Original much more for a fraction of the price. These have the taste I prefer when relaxing with a Scotch or Irish whisky. Guess it is the aging in the wine casks which makes the difference and I prefer traditional aging techniques.

Don't mind sweet notes, so I enjoyed this one. But... I wish it had been Oloroso or Bourbon finished.

Please note that some staff changes occurred during the year and not every member of staff can be confirmed as being at the school at the time.
Significant events
The following are events occurring during the year, which were known to the average Hogwarts student.
Although attendance to Hogwarts was now mandatory, many students did not return during this school year for various reasons, including:
- Not being allowed because they were Muggle-borns, or were unable to prove their blood heritage.[1]
- Having spattergroit, a contagious illness caught by Ron Weasley (Ron was actually quite well, he disguised the Weasley family ghoul to look like him so that he could help Harry Potter search for Horcruxes, though this is the only known occurrence of this).[citation needed]
- Harry Potter obviously could not return to Hogwarts, as he would have been given to Lord Voldemort before he entered the doors. Regardless, Harry chose not to return as he was searching out Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes.[citation needed]
The Battle of Hogwarts
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger Apparated into the main street of the village of Hogsmeade while wearing Harry's Cloak of Invisibility and were immediately detected by a group of Death Eaters due to the fact that they had triggered a Caterwauling Charm. They all tried to Apparate but they had been trapped because they had been bound by an anti-Apparition charm. The Death Eaters tried to reveal their whereabouts by Summoning the Cloak of Invisibility. The cloak, however, refused to be moved due to the fact that it was the cloak of legend from The Tale of the Three Brothers. The Death Eaters then sent Dementors to locate Harry so he had to produce a Patronus to send them away. Aberforth Dumbledore then hid them in the Hog's Head while he told the Death Eaters that he had produced the Patronus and had set off the Caterwauling Charm by letting his cat out. Aberforth led Harry, Ron and Hermione to a secret passage from his pub to the Room of Requirement where members of Dumbledore's Army had been hiding all year. Neville Longbottom came out of the passage and took them to Hogwarts.[citation needed]
Arrival at Hogwarts
When Neville Longbottom arrived at the Room of Requirement with Harry, Hermione and Ron, all the members of Dumbledore's Army who were hiding from the Carrows and Snape thought they had come back to fight the Death Eaters and Voldemort so they sent messages to many other former Hogwarts students, including many original members of Dumbledore's Army. Harry however informed them that they had come to search Hogwarts for Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem and that Lord Voldemort was on the way to try and stop them.[citation needed]
The trio split up once they had entered Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione travelled down into the Chamber of Secrets to obtain Basilisk venom filled fangs to destroy Helga Hufflepuff's Cup and any future Horcruxes that are found, while Harry went with Luna Lovegood to the Ravenclaw Common Room to have a look at a statue of Rowena Ravenclaw wearing her diadem. Alecto Carrow, the Muggle Studies teacher and Death Eater, appeared while the two were searching the room, but Luna Lovegood neutralised her. Minerva McGonagall arrived and summoned the other Heads of Houses. She then engaged in a fierce duel with Severus Snape and moments later Filius Flitwick and Pomona Sprout showed up, the three succeeded in driving Snape away. The students and staff gathered in the Great Hall as the rest of the Death Eaters arrived at the gates, accompanied by Voldemort himself.[citation needed]
Hogwarts was fortified for the coming attack. Order of the Phoenix members arrived, also summoned by Neville Longbottom. Students old enough to fight stayed and younger students were evacuated by Poppy Pomfrey and Argus Filch. Filius Flitwick, Minerva McGonagall and Pomona Sprout took groups of students to the tallest towers while Arthur Weasley, Remus Lupin and Kingsley Shacklebolt took others onto the Grounds. Fred and George Weasley defended Hogwarts' secret passages.[citation needed]
First part of the battle
Voldemort magically magnified his voice so it was heard throughout Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to give those inside the castle the chance to hand Harry over to him or his Death Eaters and dark creatures would attack. When Pansy Parkinson suggested that they take the deal, practically every student, excluding the Slytherin students, in the hall threatened to curse her, and she was instructed to leave by Minerva McGonagall. Those not willing to fight or not of age (older than 17 years) were sent out of the school through the Hog's Head, particularly the students of Slytherin (who were sent out first).[citation needed]
Hogwarts was able to fend off the Death Eaters using an array of tactics, including mandrakes and other magical plants, bewitched armoured suits, and wand duels. The Death Eaters stormed Hogwarts, however, with the aid of the Acromantulas, Giants, Aurors and Ministry of Magic officials. It was in this part of the battle that Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Colin Creevey, and Lavender Brown were killed by Death Eaters.[citation needed]
Room of Requirement
Harry, Ron, and Hermione found Ravenclaw's Diadem in the Room of Hidden Things transformation of the Room of Requirement. But before they could remove or destroy it, Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle arrived. Crabbe tried to kill Ron and Hermione with Killing Curses and accidentally destroyed Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem with Fiendfyre, also killing himself in the process.[2]
- "If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by one. I do not wish this to happen. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a loss and a waste... I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour... I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you... I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour."
- —Voldemort orders the one-hour ceasefire and retreat[src]
Using his connection with Voldemort's mind, Harry uncovered Voldemort's whereabouts in the Shrieking Shack. It was there that Harry witnessed Voldemort order Nagini to murder Severus Snape, believing that unless Snape was killed by him, he would not gain mastery over the Elder Wand. Snape's dying act was to pass on several of his memories to Harry. At this point, Voldemort ordered an hour-long ceasefire, with the request that Harry be turned over to his custody. If they did not turn him over, Voldemort declared he would personally enter the battle.[citation needed]
After viewing Snape's memories which revealed that Harry himself was, in fact, a Horcrux and that he needed to be killed for Lord Voldemort to die, Harry went into the Forbidden Forest to sacrifice himself. Before doing so, he used the Resurrection Stone to bring back his parents, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin for emotional support. Due to Voldemort's use of Harry's blood in the process of creating himself a new body in 1995 in the Little Hangleton graveyard, Harry survived the Killing Curse from Voldemort although he was briefly knocked unconscious.[citation needed]
In those unconscious moments, Harry spoke to the spirit of Albus Dumbledore, who explained that the bit of Voldemort's soul inside of Harry was gone, and he could choose to go back to the world of the living or go on into the world of the dead. Harry accepted the choice to return, and feigned death while Voldemort's forces cheered in assumed victory.[citation needed]
Fall of the Dark Lord
- Harry Potter: "...Snape never beat Dumbledore! Dumbledore's death was planned between them! Dumbledore intended to die undefeated, the wand's last true master! If all had gone as planned, the wand's power would have died with him, because he never had it won from him!"
- Lord Voldemort: "But then, Potter, Dumbledore as good as gave me the wand! I stole the wand from its last master's tomb! I removed it against its last master's wishes! Its power is mine!"
- Harry Potter: "...Didn't you listen to Ollivander? The wand chooses the wizard...The Elder Wand recognised a new master before Dumbledore died, someone who never laid a hand on it. The new master removed the wand from Dumbledore against his will, never realising exactly what he had done, or that the world's most dangerous wand had given him its allegiance...The true master of the Elder Wand was Draco Malfoy."
- — Harry revealing the true master of the Elder Wand to Voldemort during their final confrontation.[src]
After waking, Harry discovered that Voldemort had also been unconscious during those brief moments. Voldemort suffered an additional betrayal when Narcissa Malfoy volunteered to confirm that Harry was dead, when she truly only wanted to get close enough to him to ask if her son, Draco Malfoy was still alive. Upon learning of Draco's survival, Narcissa lied to the Dark Lord, saying that Harry Potter was in fact dead. After Rubeus Hagrid carried Harry's "corpse" back to Hogwarts, guided by the Death Eaters walking in a victory march, Neville Longbottom openly defied Lord Voldemort. The Dark Lord placed a spell on Neville, freezing him to the spot, placed the Sorting Hat atop his head, and set it aflame.[citation needed]
The centaurs and Grawp then attacked the Death Eaters, giving Harry time to disappear under his Invisibility Cloak in the confusion. Neville broke free of Voldemort's curse and pulled Godric Gryffindor's Sword from the Sorting Hat. In one stroke, Neville used the blade to behead Nagini, thus destroying the last of Voldemort's Horcruxes and rendering him mortal. Voldemort, alongside his now weakened army, forced his way into Hogwarts.[citation needed]
Additional Hogwarts allies arrived at this time: legions of knife-wielding house-elves led by Kreacher; the residents of Hogsmeade and the friends and families of every remaining student, all led by Charlie Weasley and Professor Slughorn. A flock of Thestrals led by Buckbeak, and the centaurs also threw themselves into the battle.[citation needed]
In the midst of all the chaos, Harry, hidden under the Invisibility Cloak, was buffeted into the Great Hall. Outnumbered and surrounded by people and creatures from both sides, the Death Eaters were cut down or run off by the forces of Hogwarts until only Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort remained. Bellatrix was killed by Molly Weasley, with whom she briefly duelled. Voldemort was furious at the loss of his best and last lieutenant, but Harry cast a Shield Charm between Molly and Voldemort before the latter could raise his wand. Harry then revealed himself to the survivors, giving them hope again.[citation needed]The cheering crowd retreated to the walls of the hall and watched then as the two great enemies, Voldemort and Harry, bantered and circled each other. Harry revealed to Voldemort that Snape had always been a spy for Dumbledore, ever since Voldemort threatened Lily Potter's life. Harry also revealed that Snape was never the true master of the Elder Wand. It had been Draco Malfoy that was the rightful master, and that Harry had defeated Malfoy weeks ago, thereby gaining the allegiance of the Elder Wand.[citation needed]
Harry dared Voldemort to feel remorse as a chance of redemption, to which Voldemort instantly responded by casting a Killing Curse with the Elder Wand. Harry simultaneously cast his own Expelliarmus spell using Draco Malfoy's wand. However, because the Elder Wand rightfully belonged to Harry, the Killing Curse rebounded at Voldemort and ended his life once and for all. The Second Wizarding War had ended with a decisive victory for the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army.[citation needed]

I like to keep things natural & simple & fun (meaning it has to be easy & relatively quick) and I love involving my kids in decorating so they feel a part of things.
When we made snowflakes for Sandy Hook Elementary School, we made a few for ourselves too and hung them on the kitchen doors:
They day we picked the holly it was snowing a little... (above) The bigger boys (Christian 5, and Justin now 3!!!) and I got all bundled up and went through the woods. I cut and they carry.

|In progress
|User:Costyn_van_Dongen, Maxell, Bertrik_Sikken
|Last Update
Project page for the high altitude balloon tracking/listening station have set up in the space.
- "ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM" dongle (RTL2838U, Fitipower FC0013 tuner)
- VK5QI HABamp
- Raspberry Pi (+ power supply)
- Antenna: Diamond X-50N
- Test payload, RFM22b sending RTTY strings on 434.250MHz. Code here: https://github.com/costyn/rfmtest/blob/master/rfmtest.pde
- The raspi running rtl_tcp can do around 2MS/s, and you can connect with it on habraspi.space.revspace.nl:1234. Make sure you use a wired connection, or else the latency and overall experience will be horrible.
- Earth the antenna, to prevent static buildup
- Install the HABamp
- Test other DVB-T sticks, the mini-R820T could be interesting
- Moar ferrite
- Metal box for some shielding
- If P2000 remains a problem: coaxial stub filter would be a good solution
- Setting up a virtual machine with gqrx and dl-fldigi.
- Blokje told us we could use his machine for permanent setup
- This requires us to move the SpaceSoundSystem towards something like a Cubieboard
- Preferred to setup a complete NAS at the same time, this idea has been floating around for a while too
- This requires us to move the SpaceSoundSystem towards something like a Cubieboard
- Blokje told us we could use his machine for permanent setup
Problems we ran into
- As soon as the P2000 tower transmits, it looks like the Fitipower FC0013 overloads, even on lowest gain.
- If the HABamp doesn't fix this we need to test other tuners.
- First radio signals have been heard at 16 Feb. 2013.
- The next day we tested Costyn's next payload: the Habanero!
- $$HABANERO,41,15:09:39,52.0647,+4.3642,45,7,6,16,23,4.15*AE4C (GPS location on Google Maps)
<costyn> so guys, how do you ground your antenna's? what the consensus on lightning arrestors? <fsphil> there's so little lightning here I don't bother <costyn> hmm <costyn> we're going to place an antenna on the roof of our hackerspace, but it's not our building and we'll have to convince the owners that it's safe <SpeedEvil> you need to ground to a separate rod, with a straight cable to it <SpeedEvil> thick insulated cable <costyn> define thick? <gonzo_> you are only going to be able to disipate static with earthing. very little you can do against a direct strike <gonzo_> most lightening arrestors are really just spark gap's, that allow some high voltage coming down the centre of the coax, to jump to the outer. <gonzo_> your typical short colinear is possibly going to be DC short between the centre and braid anyway. (You can test with a DVM) <gonzo_> long colinears are not much of an advantage for HAB use, so I assume it will be a short one. So will not extend much above the existing roof profile? So will not be any greater risk of lightening than anything else <costyn> gonzo_: it'll be a short one yea, Diamond X-50 likely <costyn> gonzo_: and it'll raise some above the roof line, but it's not a high building (2 stories) and there's higher buildings and trees around <gonzo_> not siure of your mounting options, but if mounted to existing metalwork up there, like handrains etc, it will be earthed to the building anyway (or at least the owners metalwork) <costyn> it's basically a flat roof with some outlets for hvac <costyn> so no existing metal work. we're thinking of using/making a stand with metal weighted down with tiles <gonzo_> then an extra ground wire would prob be worth adding. If the building or roof is metal, then that could be an option to earth to, or as SpeedEvil said, an earthing rod <costyn> ok. thanks for the advice. will see what we can do. not even sure if we're going to get permission to route the coax on the outside of the building, so we'll see

Within the mortgage industry, members are continually working with the federal government and regulators to help them better understand the challenges of our industry.
Across Canada, mortgage origination numbers have been down which links to the impacts of the stress test on borrows. Alternatively, the Ottawa market has remained on pace given the stability of employment and affordable home prices. Although the industry does not anticipate another level of stress test guidelines to be introduced, there are some changes to the industry that will become apparent.
As interest rates are expected to rise, borrowers can expect increased borrowing costs with the anticipation of further increases from the Bank of Canada. If you have a variable rate mortgage and are concerned about the cost of rising interest rates, it's best to contact your Mortgage Broker to discuss some potential scenarios.

I understand what you mean about how refreshing it is to have a compelling heroine who isn't the "alpha" female. Great review!

Dr. Toy Talks About Street Games and Outdoor Play
Play takes many forms. Do you recall as a child the great fun playing games outside with friends? What games can you remember? I recall the fun of playing games like Hopscotch, Jacks, yo yo, jump rope, and watching the skills of other players who tossed marbles or played stickball.
We know that that one of the negative effects of the pervasive encroachment of electronics into the lives of children and adults, is the reduction of fun time spent actively playing with friends and as a family. This deficit takes a serious toll on personal health, socializing, shared group experiences, and better mental health.
We want to share some exciting group game events, and encourage parents to share the fun of games with their children, and to be inspired by exciting activities happening around the world that are happily stimulating more interests, fun, and increased playfulness.
This is the right time to look back to the games from our childhood, and see what is happening around our community and in the world to bring home increased aliveness and expanded enthusiasm for all kinds of social games.
A street game is a sport or game played on city streets, fields, plazas, or parks rather than on a prepared field. Street games are usually informal play time at the most convenient location for players. However, some street games have risen to the level of organized tournaments, such as Stickball, Hula Hoops, jump ropes, Yo-yo's and others.
Some street activities and games include riding a bike, and playing Frisbee, Handball, Hippity Hop, Hop Scotch, Hula Hoop, Jump Rope (Double Dutch), Kick the Can, Paddleball, Pogo Sticks, Relay races, Ringolevio (two teams play a form of Tag and Hide and Seek), Skates, Skateboarding, Skully (bottle caps), Soap Box Derby, Stickball, Street Basketball, Street Hockey, and, of course, learning to "go around the world" with the always handy endlessly fun Yo-Yo.
In September, Italy is the showcase for International Street Games, and this Eleventh year annual event organized by the Associazione Giochi Antichi (AGA), held an even more successful three-day event with over 300,000 attendees who enjoyed watching and playing over 40 traditional games in the streets and squares of Verona's historic center (200,000 square meter space)
Tocati Festival took place in collaboration with Hungary, and with the support of the European Association of Traditional Sports and Games (AEJST), Parliament, the Ministry of Cultural Heritages and Activities (MIBAC), UNICEF, Touring Club Italiano, Verona Diocese, Ulss 20, Banco Popolare, Chamber of Commerce, and many others including volunteers from many sectors.
The games, which originated from different regions of Italy and Hungary, were presented by a group of passionate players, who came to share their ancient games, traditions and history. Participants happily watched and tried out Hungarian games like Grundbirkózás (Hungarian fight), Gombfoci (football played with buttons), Archery, Hungarian whip, and Csürközés (sticks are thrown and then used to hinder adversary).
Among the traditional Italian games were Sicilian Stick , Bardunfa, the Spinning Top of Sardinia, Paga l'ost, a game of Bowls typical of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Sburla la roda, athletic race with hay bales from Lombardy, Palla col bracciale from Tuscany, and three types of special skittles: Bbrigghja (Sicily) Is briglias (Sardinia) e Stacchje (Puglia). Plus Table Games such as Carrom, Chess, Checkers, and urban games, including Parkour, Bike Polo, Frisbee, and for the first time, Slackline and Kendama.
During the festival musicians and dancers performed music, songs and Hungarian dances of Tzigana's tradition. Also included were art exhibits, theatre performances, readings, speakers, books, films, and in collaboration with SIMBDEA (Italian Society for Heritage and Museum Studies) various Italian museum exhibited materials dedicated to games. A large area was dedicated to associations and institutions that deal with gaming as a profession (playrooms, Playbus, leaders, and experts in museum education). Children were welcomed with special entertainment and experiences.
The national network organized a large area in Piazzetta Pescheria, where several Italian Municipalities showed activities to make their cities "Friends of Children." In the festival kitchen areas, visitors enjoyed drinks and food from both Verona and Hungary.
The very successful free Festival began in 2003, and each year is dedicated to a different country represented by games, music, dance, and cuisine features. The participating countries have included: Spain, Croatia, Scotland, Greece, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, Iran, Portugal, Taiwan, and Sweden. The First World Congress of International Experts (ITSGA – International Traditional Sports and Games Association) were also included. The Associazione Giochi Antichi protects traditional games, which are considered valued traditions, and are part of UNESCO World Heritages.
Another excellent feature was the "The Playful Train," which traveled from Munich to Verona carrying visitors and players who shared games enroute in keeping with the theme of the Festival. Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) sponsored the train to provide easier access for visitors and to support sustainability, an integral part of the event.
Giuseppe Giacon, Vice President of Associazione Giochi Antichi (the association organizing Tocatì Fastival) commented, "In these times of economic crisis, and information overload play may be "disposable," but our event shows a viable alternative. A playful appropriation of an entire city centre, largely supported by the clean energies of play, and of renewable supplies. The game is protected as a cultural heritage and, of course, as the archetype of the entire toy industry."
The Mayor of Verona, Flavio Tosi, said, "Tocatì, which started 11 years ago as a local festival, has over the years become an international event, which attracts thousands of visitors to our city from Italy and throughout Europe. For three days our city turns into a big playground where families and children can have fun and play together, an added value of happiness and serenity for Verona and beyond."
Dr. Janet Gane, a Child Development and Behavioral Specialist, and Health and Lifestyle Expert for ABC -TV Eyewitness News Morning attended the event and added, "This exciting annual event could build a bridge between Italy's Tocati Festival, and beyond the European community, into the lives of all families and people around the world, starting an exciting new round of fitness and fun in the United States of America. Our country has prided itself on immigration reform and historical roots. It makes wonderful sense to support all cultures through these activities. Tocati proudly represents and allows children to experience historic play as well as our new age of technology associated play and invention. The Italian word Tocati means "it's your turn." And perhaps it's now our turn. " For more information visit www.tocati.it and www.deepfun.com/?s=tocati
Street Games (www.streetgames.org) is a unique sports event and network that since 2007 brings sports to the doorstep of young people in disadvantaged and other communities across the UK "at the right time, for the right price, to the right place, and in the right style." The aim of each Street Games project is to be sustainable and become involved in the community, create stronger and safer communities, strengthen action and volunteering, as well as improve health and well-being. Street Games gives young people the chance to enjoy sports, give back to their communities, and aspire to greater things.
The Children's Society research study among 42,000 8 to 15-year-olds was reported by Public Health England who advises that too much time in front of screens - including TV and computer games - combined with a sedentary lifestyle is taking its toll on children's well-being and increasing their anxiety. It identifies a link between children's screen time and lower levels of well-being, showing that higher levels of TV viewing are having a negative effect on children's well-being, including lower self-worth, self-esteem and happiness; children who spend more time on computers, watching TV and playing video games tend to experience higher levels of emotional distress, anxiety and depression.
In response to this epidemic Play England (www.playengland.org.uk) announced a collaboration with other organizations to kick-start a revolution to reconnect kids with nature and outdoor play through The Wild Network, which officially launched in September. A survey found less than a quarter of children (23%) play out at least seven times a week, with 40% of children saying they want to play out more and just 17% said there is freedom to go and explore in their neighborhoods, with only 4% saying they played out in fields or woodland.
New York City
Street play has been active for many decades as a natural part of growing up. In 1997 childhood friends Mick Greene and Mark Pesner were reminiscing about the fun they had as kids playing in the streets of New York. They originally wanted to write a book about the topic but decided to use the Internet to help people recall "the time when it was OK to go outside, hang out with friends and have a great time playing activities that didn't require a coach, schedule or major amount of brand name equipment." Web designer and fellow New Yorker, Hugh McNally joined to help translate the idea into www.streetplay.com, an award winning site that reported about street game related events and encouraged parents to share the enjoyment free spirited play can produce with their own kids. Streetplay.com has demonstrated NYC games in partnership with several USA based museums and cultural institutions, and has been recognized for its contributions to the theme of play by many including Bernie DeKoven.
A specialist who recognizes the great value of games, Bernie DeKoven, aka Major Fun (www.majorfun.com), the author of The Well Played Game and Junkyard Sports http://www.junkyardsports.com/junkyard-sports-the-book/ shared, "Most of the games we knew as street games here in the USA were played in big cities by people who didn't have the alternative - no equipment, no place to play. So they played in the street with whatever junk they could find or create. The games they created are still as much fun as they were 50 years ago, and now, even though most kids have the official equipment, they aren't given the free, unsupervised time they need to rediscover social, physical play. Street games are a treasure available to all of us, and a way for kids to take back their neighborhoods and playspaces - if we only let them."
Also in New York City, The 6th Annual Street Games event was held in April at Thomas Jefferson Park, 114th Street and Pleasant Avenues (closed to traffic) to celebrate classic street games from the '60s and '70s, and to introduce them to a new generation of kids with a new and modern spin. Pogo sticks, double-dutch, hula hoops, and yo-yos were some of the activities players could try out at this popular annual event. Support has come from Disney, NYC Park and Recreation Department, Team ESPN, ABC Channel 7, and others. There are many other organized sports activities and games offered by the City like chess, dance, fitness, swimming, and other activities scheduled for all ages all year round. (www.parks.nyc.gov.org)
Come Out & Play started in New York City and is an annual festival that started in 2006 of street games that turns New York City, San Francisco and so far one event in Amsterdam into a giant playground. They encourage new types of public games and play by bringing together players eager to interact with the world around them with game designers producing innovative new games and experiences. Over the years, thousands of players have gathered to play dozens of city-wide games. Friends faced off in life-sized Pong using only their ears to "hear" the ball. Bicyclists armed with spray chalk and stencils competed to claim and build bike lanes. Strangers worked together to build and race blindly through labyrinths as part of an ancient lost sport. Tompkins Square Park became a putt-putt course. And it's just the beginning. (www.comeoutandplay.org).
You can find an old or new street game to try out with your family and friends. Better yet, plan a "street games event" in your local school and/or community, sponsored by your organization and/or company, and expand a wider range of playful experiences that will greatly benefit all participating children and adults.

Lexcord necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 40 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
For Country Apparel - An NYC based custom apparel start-up
We are looking to create a customer t-shirt and accessories brand for patriots and fanatics. People who love the country they represent and want to express their subtle patriotism via a creative, edgy and fashionable custom t-shirt, track jacket and polo clothing company.
Nigerian by birth, American by naturalization, my father was a general in the Biafran army and my older brother is currently a sergeant in the United States Army - They both enlisted out of a strong sense of country pride.
I do this for the soldier that raised his national flag after a war to depict victory, for the excited-proud fan in the stand of a soccer or football game with a flag painted on his or her face, for the kenyan runner, Brazilian mixed martial arts fighter, british rugby player, or any athelete that puts on the uniform to represent For Country. This brand is in honor of them.
Started as a hobby but we are now looking to create a national and eventually a global brand in the same spirit as nike, adidas, puma one country at a time. The logo is the missing piece that ties it all together. At this point, we are profitable enough to justify the business but are fueled and inspired by the concept and look forward to the journey.
We need your creativity to infect our logo and peak customer interest in our growing brand!
Our initial target market is male and females: 16 - 35 with a strong sense of country pride. They want to have a varied collection of For Country tees. They want to be able to wear the flagman logo either as the main design on the front of the t-shirt or as a mini logo on the top-left or bottom left corner (similar to the size of the polo logo). We want our first wave of customers to grow with the brand.
Our secondary target market is parents with kids ages 2 - 13.
Our customer buy custom t-shirt with colorful designs (similar to the ed-hardy)
Looking to create a clothing apparel logo that is patriotic, infectious and can inspire a movement! This is the "flagman" campaign. Simply put, it's the image of a guy (athlete, soldier or revolutionary) putting a flag in the air. Regardless of where you are from, most people are proud to represent a flag. The pose in this iconic logo should be able capture that pride
The winning design should draw inspiration from:
- The pose of the Statue of Liberty from "frontal" or Semi-side" profile
- The Polo, NBA, and Jumpman Jordan logos
The logo should have animate features but should still be effective as an all-black-or-white silhouette. Logo should be able to stand by itself or right in the middle of the red & white crest provided (minus the soccer ball) The winning design will be the one where:
- The top portion of the logo with the flag-in-fist can be a t-shirt design by itself "flag fist for country"
- The face on the logo can be a design by itself "flag face for country" (similar to a fan of a team or country painting the country on his face).
Your final design must be one you would be proud to wear, that can inspire the same cult-like following as Polo, Baping Ape, or Ed-hardy, is instantly recognizable, marketable and should have the potential to be an intl sign of patriotism.

I look fwd to working with you

(perhaps we could change the names on the map and call it the map of 'Ancient Chelmsford'.. so we can get rid of the Super Veto.... joking.. half joking.. I understand the tradition of ultimate control for the original creator in spite of the rest of the worlds opinion )
However the point regarding the US is completely moot; the shape of the US has a balance and a symmetry to it.. or at least no gain in symmetry would be made by titling it.. turn is upside-down; maybe but to what gain?
Brazil is wonky in shape, by using the tilt to square the top off and paralleling it with the Baby-map, (you could draw a diagonal line from the left bottom corner to the top right corner, which would fall between the most relevant symmetrical points in both maps) it alludes to a subtle, progressive visual harmony.
In my opinion and without the shackles locked by 15th century European, Cartographic precepts. The map gains a great deal from this simple tilt and RJ should be allowed to remain true to his Aesthetic discovery.
I was not suggesting to add a tilt on US map. This is a way so you can realize how strange your country map can look with a tilt. Like you said, a US map up-to-down would still have balance and simmetry, so, why not? Just put an arrow pointing to North and its ok, isnt it? Now, see if it dont hurt the accustomed eyes. For what gain, you ask, and I return you the same question. Is Brazil gaining simmetry with the tilt? No to me, its still Brazil assimmetric shape with a tilt. And why do you really think we will have the baby map in final version? Its open to discussion too, as we now have 2 legends. I assume that, if you see visual harmony in the tilted Brazil map, its because you didnt look at it without the tilt a million times like me. A serious suggestion: try get a map of your own country and discover some aesthetic harmony adding a tilt to it. I would like to see what we would get.
And many thanks, rj, by understanding the point and redoing it.
what a shame..
(you missed my section in bold above, as i suppose you were writing a response as i edited, it explains my view a little better)
But my map would be the UK... do what you want to it if it looks as beautiful as RJ's; with the subtle and respectful nuance of his changes.
North/South Map bias and Map perceptive is largely based in a form of visual propaganda anyway, emanating from European conquest and dominance hundreds of years past.... Censoring RJ is just a real shame.

Join DOCOMOMO US at the "Modernism At Risk" exhibition and public programs at The Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place, New York City.
While there is no single response that can prevent the loss of every endangered modern site, the architects and designers working today play an increasingly critical role in demonstrating that these buildings can be economically and functionally viable and continue to serve useful purposes as places to live, work, learn, gather, and worship. The advocacy role of good design becomes increasingly important as the building materials and systems of many modern structures that stem from the classical period of modernism through the postwar boom reach the end of their physical life span. Saving modern landmarks is important because they enrich a community's sense of place – providing continuity between its past and important buildings of our own times.

In 2008, Max Papis made his first career start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, but since that day three short years ago, the Como, Italy native hasn't competed in more than nine Truck Series events in one season. So even though Papis isn't running for the Rookie of the Year title, the GEICO Racing driver entered Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway with a yellow stripe on the rear of his No. 9 Toyota Tundra for the fifth race of the 2011 season on Friday night.
After a brief rain shower delayed the start of the two practice sessions Friday morning, Papis took to the concrete track and quickly adjusted to the new racing surface. At the conclusion of both practices, the No. 9 GEICO Toyota was scored in the fifth position. Papis then laid down two solid laps in qualifying to place his Germain Racing entry in 11th-place to start the 150-lap race under the lights.
Once the green flag waved in Music City, Papis was ready to vie for the coveted Gibson guitar trophy. The first 40 laps of action saw Papis in the 13th position, gaining additional seat time at the unique one-of-a-kind circuit, as the driver reported to his GEICO crew that his Tundra was fighting a tight handling condition. Green flag pit stops began on lap 50 and Papis made his way to the attention of his crew for four tires, fuel, and adjustments. However through the sequence, the No. 9 GEICO Toyota fell one lap down to the leaders. On lap 59, the opening caution slowed the field for debris after the field had completed green flag pit stops. Papis placed himself in position to receive the Lucky Dog Award, which put him back on the lead lap.
The field restarted on lap 64, with Papis in the 17th position. Papis continued to battle with his competitors but remained in the same running order as the second caution was displayed 12 laps later on lap 76 for oil on the racetrack. A few leaders in front of the GEICO Toyota came to pit road for service, while Papis stayed out, allowing him to take the green flag restart on lap 80 from 14th-place.
On lap 83, Papis was on the topside of a three-wide battle and contact was made between Papis and David Starr. The GEICO Toyota received damage in the left rear and lost a handful of positions, pushing Papis back to 18th-place. The third caution was brought out on lap 103 for debris, giving Papis the opportunity to return to pit road for four tires, fuel, and additional adjustments.
Restarting on lap 107, Papis took off from the 15th position, as the GEICO crew gained three spots on pit road. Two short circuits later, the fourth caution came out on lap 109 for a spin by Austin Dillon in turn two. After track cleanup concluded, Papis took the green flag restart on lap 113 from 16th-place.
For the next 20 laps, Papis still felt uneasy handling effects from the contact that took place earlier in the event. Another caution closed in the field on lap 138 for an accident in turn four, as Papis was in the 18th position. With less than 10 laps remaining, Papis looked to make a late race push on the lap 142 restart. Unfortunately three laps later, Papis received contact from Brad Sweet, spinning the No. 9 GEICO Toyota in turn two. No damage was sustained as Papis did a great job of keeping his truck off the wall.
Papis took the green flag on lap 148 from the 24th position and over the final three laps, the Italian gained one spot to cross the finish line in the 23rd-place.

Last year, artist Kim Graham exploded into internet fame for a YouTube video where she demonstrated a pair "digilegs" she'd designed herself. Now she's landed a job at Weta working on the Hobbit movies. Here's her story.
In a fascinating interview with Graham on Coilhouse, the artist talks about what happened after she posted the video of her digilegs:
Within the first two days, the video had 60,000 hits. And then, unbeknownst to all of this, [Weta's] Richard Taylor called me from Wellington, New Zealand. He had seen my portfolio and was calling to ask if I would like to work on the upcoming Hobbit movies. It was an absolute surprise. When I was in the initial phone interview with him, I said, "you must be calling because you saw the digilegs video!" His response was "nooo, what video?" So, while we were on the phone, he checked out Youtube. His immediate response was "hey, we can help you build those!" It was an offer I couldn't sensibly refuse. It took two months to do all the paperwork necessary to come to New Zealand. [By the time] I came to Wellington, I had prepared a production-worthy version of the digilegs.
Now Weta is selling the legs for $945 a pop. That means everyone from devoted cosplayers to indie moviemakers can have access to this amazing costume accessory.
This is a fun video of the lightweight "Weta legs," when they were tested in New Zealand.
Graham has been a creature designer and inventor for years, and specializes in large-scale public art projects. She likes to involve the community in her work, and one of her goals is to create huge statues of Tree Ents around the world:
The single most important project in my life is answering a promise that I made my mom. A couple of years ago, I made a ten-foot-tall version of Treebeard from The Lord of the Rings. Treebeard is a lovely image. Standing, he would have been about two stories tall. So I built a "life sized" papier-mâché version of him sitting on the ground. It was one of the most enjoyable sculptures I have ever made, because it was in collaboration with twenty-three other volunteers. People love this sculpture; it is this huge, warm, grandfatherly presence that you can walk right up to.
His face is seven feet off the ground; he has these gorgeous blue eyes. Having made the first one in papier-mâché, I realized I wanted to make a more permanent version, something that could go outdoors, that people could play on. So I started the process of figuring out how to build it in steel reinforced concrete. It would be ten to twelve feet tall, weigh about six tons, and last for centuries. I had been doing a lot of the R&D over the years, before I began building the digilegs. Now that the leg extensions are coming to an end, or at least the R&D on them is, what I want to do is build these monumental sculptures for playgrounds and public spaces.
To find out more about Graham, check out the interview with her in Coilhouse.

Wis. dairy farmer talks about undercover video
Submitted: 12/10/2013
- A Wisconsin dairy farm owner says he did not learn of abusive practices on his farm until a few weeks ago and he's still shaken up by it. Mark Wiese and his brother own Wiese Brothers Farm in Greenleaf, Wis. The animal rights group Mercy For Animals released video Tuesday showing workers hitting, kicking, stabbing and whipping sick and injured cows. The video was taken in October and November. Wiese says he became aware of the abuse when he received an email in late November that included the video. He says all the employees in the video were assigned to work with sick animals that had problems moving. Two were fired. Wiese says a supervisor is now being called whenever an animal goes down to oversee its care.

text: 14th July 2016 by Guy Allen 0PressUnder a Grand Previous articleHouse & Garden - Living with ARTNext article Guy Allen Etchings Guy Allen Following his graduation from Central Saint Martins School of Art, Guy moved back to his home in Norfolk, from where he finds his inspiration. As a result, Guy's interest began to change from his usual and familiar works, focusing on animal subject matter, to the forms that are scattered within and around the Norfolk landscape. In his most recent works, Guy has concentrated on the shapes and patterns that have caught his eye, from a winding road, to a singular tree. The combination of these more abstract compositions and the etching process has enabled Guy to experiment not only with the subject matter, but also with the tonality on the paper. Guy discovered his passion for printmaking during his time in Paris studying at the Ecole Nationale Superieure Des Beaux-Arts in 2010, when he became particularly fascinated with the traditional exchanging process. following his graduation from Central Saint Martins School of Art in 2010, Guy moved back to Norfolk from where he finds his inspiration. In 2012 Guy trained as an assistant print maker under Mary Dalton and Stanley Jones at Curwen Studios, Cambridge; where he had to learn at a fast clip how to master other types of print making. Guy is now working as a full time artist between Norfolk and London, where he spends the majority of his time at Artichoke Printmaking Studio in Brixton. In 2013 and 2014 Guy had one of his etchings selected to be exhibited in the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London. Guy is represtented by Grandy Art and is working as a full time artist in London, he spends the majority of his time at Artichoke Printmaking Studios in London. After a successful first solo exhibition in London With Grandy Art where he had a inspiring response from his horse studies, this year Guy is focusing on the horse as a subject matter. The inspiration behind Guy's 2014 entry to The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 'The Winner' Guy explains: "The Winner, depicts my most recent exploration into animal subjects. The title alludes to the multi-million pound horse-racing industry that is prevalent in East Anglia, where I grew up. The horse is one of the oldest depicted animal forms: its musculature and contours have long intrigued artists, who have rendered this subject matter in almost every medium possible. Here, I have brought together a traditional technique - etching - and a timeless subject matter, twinned with a contemporary twist. The diving board not only physically grounds the animal, it also represents the precarious nature of the racing world"

For the cashew 'cups'
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp cold butter, cut into tiny pieces
1/4 cup roasted cashews
1-2 tbsp chilled milk*
* add just enough to form a dough
For the mousse
3/8 cup silken tofu
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate
2. Pulse the cashews, sugar and the flour a few times in a blender or a food processor until everything is combined into a fine powder. Make sure that the blender doesn't heat because this might cause the flour to stick to the walls.
3. Transfer this into a plate and incorporate the butter until a crumbly dough starts to form. Add enough milk to form a dough. It should be barely kneadable.
4. Divide this into 3 equal spheres. Roll each into 5-6 inch circles with a rolling pin. Place these into greased muffin pans to line the entire 'cup' and press the excess dough against the outer surface of the pan.
5. Fill these 'cups' with a 'filler' like rice or lentils because even before you press the second 'cup', you'll realize the first one has already started to come off! If you're a pro, then you could use something called pastry weights ;)
6. Bake for 15 mins. or until golden. Remove the muffin tray and let it cool until warm. At this stage, remove as much 'filler' as you can and then remove the cups from the muffin tray. Let them cool down to room temperature. Remove any filler which might be stuck to the inner walls in the meantime without breaking the cups.
7. While the cups are baking, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler.
8. Drain the silken tofu to remove excess moisture. I used a couple of paper towels and pressed as gently as possible to remove some moisture.
9. Put this in a blender and add sugar to it. Blend until a uniform, creamy mixture is obtained.
10. Once the chocolate has melted, add it to the tofu 'cream' and pulse it a few more times. Taste it and adjust the amount of sugar as needed. You could also throw in a dash of vanilla extract. Once a nice uniform mixture is obtained, put this in a piping device or a ziploc bag and refrigerate for an hour or until nice and thick. Don't attach the plunger if you're refrigerating the piping device.
11. Pipe the mousse into the cups and refrigerate it until ready to serve.
So here is another (relatively) guilt-free dessert from us ;) Please binge responsibly :D
1) The indentations seen in the cups are from the moong daal (lentils) that I used as pastry weights.
2) I have a cup that can measure 1/8th of a cup. Do it three times and you got yourselves 3/8th of a cup ;)

Yardley Fellowship Established for Grad Students
by George Zamora
SOCORRO -- The Don Yardley Fellowship Fund recently was established at New Mexico Tech to provide financial support for graduate students at the university who decide to pursue professional interests in ore deposits and mineral exploration.
The Yardley Fellowship is named in honor of Donald H. Yardley, a longtime professor at the University of Minnesota's (U of M) School of Mines and Metallurgy who was an influential mentor of numerous U of M graduates, including Michael "Mike" J. Fitzgerald (B.S., geological engineering, U of M class of 1957), the main benefactor of the new fellowship fund.
Fitzgerald visited several universities and their faculty members throughout the nation before deciding to establish the fellowship at New Mexico Tech with an initial $25,000 donation.
The Don Yardley Fellowship is an endowed fellowship, which means the monies collected for the fund through outside sources will be matched on a one-to-one basis by New Mexico Tech.
Administrators at the university are projecting that the Don Yardley Fellowship Fund will grow to $250,000 within five years.
"We're hoping to draw enough from the fund this first year to support at least one graduate student during the summer months," says Andrew R. Campbell, professor of geology at New Mexico Tech.
"After the fellowship fund reaches a specified level, we then hope to implement a regular fellowship program which will help support several students throughout their studies here at Tech," he explains.
The newly established fellowship also has become a "springboard," Campbell says, for possibly organizing a new master's degree option within the geology master's program at New Mexico Tech.
Several Tech professors, including Campbell, professor of geochemistry David I. Norman, and associate professor of mineral engineering William X. Chávez, Jr., are working to emphasize an education focused on ore deposit exploration.
"We're going to have to do some minor tweaking of the current course contents," Campbell points out, "but, because ore deposit geology has been a long-time strength here at Tech, the courses required for such a program are already in place."
Once established, the new degree option would offer students a "well-rounded education, with a strong emphasis on the practical and theoretical aspects of ore deposits and mineral exploration," Campbell adds.
The Don Yardley Fellowship Fund's namesake -- Donald H. Yardley -- was born in 1917 in Estevan, a small town in Saskatchewan, Canada, located just across the border from North Dakota.
Yardley obtained both his bachelor of science degree in mining engineering and his master of science in geology from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
He later went on to earn his doctorate in geology at the University of Minnesota and taught there from 1951 to 1984.
"Yardley taught several courses related to mineral exploration and initiated and taught the first undergraduate lecture/lab in geochemical exploration in the United States," says Yardley Fellowship benefactor M. J. Fitzgerald. "However, the most important aspects of Don Yardley's teaching to me and, I think to my classmates in the mid-'50s, as well, were his philosophy of exploration and his emphasis on practical, simple approaches to solving the problems involved."

South Dakota Deer Licenses Expected to be Down
Studies have been conducted. The data has been examined and one thing remains the same. South Dakota Wildlife is still recovering from a devastating drought.
Recently the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks announced the number of Deer Licenses released to South Dakota Hunters is expected to be down in areas.
Full Report from South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Here.
Ask anyone who hunts and they'll probably tell you, yes numbers are down. And it's not just deer. The extreme dry weather was hard on pheasants and other wildlife numbers as well.
This past fall it was easy to see that while numbers down, condidtions appeared to be improving. Where I hunt I noticed a good number of younger bucks and a good base population of does. Hopefully that's a good sign for future hunting.
Hopefully the extreme dry conditions are behind us and wildlife numbers can recover.
