Have you ever wondered why Greeks sometimes say lefkό krasί and sometimes άspro krasi when ordering white wine? If yes, you are entering the world of 'posh' Greek …
Modern Greek is a natural development of ancient Greek that was spoken by the predecessors that lived here 2000 and more years ago. Although there are many similarities, there are also enough differences to make it extremely hard for a Greek anno 2010 to get by if he had a time machine to travel back to his great, great, great, great, great grandfathers.
Some ancient words have survived in everyday Modern Greek and we tend to use them when we are talking about certain special things, like wine, for example.
The Modern Greek word for white is άspro but the ancient one is lefkό and so, when ordering that liquid sent from the gods, we ask for lefko krasi… If we want red wine, we use the modern word kόkkino (red) but if you look at most Greek wine bottles, it says erythrόs oinos, erythros being ancient Greek for red and oinos (pronounced eeenos) ancient for wine.
The ancient word for blue is galάzios or galanόs, which is why the Greeks call their flag Galanόlefki….sounds nicer that bleaspri, doesn't it?!? The White House is Washington could be called άspro spiti in Modern Greek but because it is a unique, official building, it is called Lefkόs Oikos (ancient for house).
There are tons of examples: the island Lefkada, Lefcas, is named after its white rocks and the Red Sea is called Erythrά Thάlassa. A blue blooded person is called Galazoaimatos (aima is blood) and if you want to compliment someone on their blue eyes, say they are galάzia or galanά…it will be appreciated.

Odysseus' Hands
1 pound squid tentacles
2-4 Tablespoons Pine nuts
2 Tablespoons celery chopped to the size of pine nuts
2 Tablespoons red bell pepper chopped to size of Pine nuts
Tablespoon of mince shallot
Olive oil, salt, pepper, white wine, lemon
1) Okay, first add your olive oil (2-4 tablespoons or so) in your pan. Turn on heat, high heat.
2) Add pine nuts. As the oil heats, swirl the pine nuts so they start to get wonderful and golden colored. 3) When they look beautiful, add shallot, celery, and pepper.
4) After a minute or so, really just enough time for the pan to get back to temperature, add the squid tentacles. Over at Reading Terminal Market, one can buy just the tentacles for cheaper than the whole bodies. Why squid rather than octopus, you ask? Squid is easier to cook than octopus.
5) Oh, it should just be a sizzling now. Add some white wine. 2-4 Tablespoons say.
6) Add black pepper (see it looks like sand ...) and taste for salt.
7) When squid is cooked (oh for gods sake do not overcook your squid and make Odysseus' Rubber Hands!) turn out dish onto serving platter and squeeze fresh lemon wedges over all.
See, the squid tentacles groups are his hands and the vegetables are the pebbles! Holy moly is that awesome, yes!
Eat that long-suffering, crafty man's hands! More Homer to come!

PAC's Weekly Wrap-up: May 1, 2016
Last week's success has rapidly transformed into this week's calamity. Who's to blame? Can't say for certain, but I do know one thing: Oliver Lynton-Wolfe's efforts in recent weeks to research the Obsidian Shield and restore XM did not go unnoticed, and whatever's going on now seems to be a direct result of his work.
Just one week ago, we were celebrating the success of the #IngressPortalSurvey (catch the highlights in the most recent Ingress Report). OLW had promised his research would continue, and the future looked bright.
Then, word came that the Enlightened Compound in Northern California where the Acolyte and OLW were had been attacked. We still don't have details on the extent of the damage, but we do know that Oliver Lynton-Wolfe has vanished without a trace.
The rest of the week has been marked by a pursuit for the facts. Hank Johnson immediately placed himself into the situation and then confronted Jahan — a likely candidate based on your responses to a recent Question of the Day — but their conversation suggests that she wasn't responsible, she doesn't know who was, and… perhaps more importantly… she and Hank are not on opposite sides in all of this.
Elsewhere, Ezekiel Calvin tried to find his own answers by questioning Hulong Transglobal's Yuen Ni. She denied that Hulong had anything to do with it, but reminded Calvin of other parties (like IQTech and the NIA) who might have a vested interest in kidnapping OLW. I've been listening to a lot of theories about what happened (for example, the ones discussed here in an Operation: Essex post). I think Agents are doing the right thing by digging through OLW's past to look for clues. The truth can't stay hidden forever.
Just hours ago, Agents helped us make progress on a different thread of the investigation. Following a clue that led to a statue of Prometheus in Hungary, Enlightened Agents @Zadmin and @Kaccka uncovered a message from Obsidius to Marcus in the aftermath of Mt. Vesuvius's eruption. I could probably devote a whole Weekly Wrap-Up to what we could draw from this letter… but I think these two bits of information were most intriguing to me: The first is that Cybella disappeared — suddenly — as if into thin air. The other, is that before she vanished, she promised that one day, mankind would wield power like what the Romans believed their gods possessed. It seems to me there's no coincidence this clue was uncovered at a statue of Prometheus.
This week we also came across news about the emergence of AUTOBACS into the Portal Network, The company had been part of the development of NL-1331, and I'll be curious to see how they help empower and propel adventure-seeking Agents out into the world.-5-4–19-9-6-1-0–2-16-0-0–6–18–10-0–4-8-15-14-19
Going into next week, here's what I'll be keeping an eye on: Can we figure out who was behind the attack on the compound and what their motives were? What does this mean for XM, the Obsidian Shield and Aegis Nova? I've seen some commentary exploring Vesuvius, the mythology of Prometheus, and more modern phenomena, but I suspect that there is even more to be discovered.
Before I wrap up (pun intended), Behind the Scanner is hosting a debate on May 5 about the XM drought; I expect it'll be a vibrant and interesting discussion — recommend you tune in.
As always, observe, think, question, and share your observations with the community. The more ideas and resources we have before us, the stronger we are.

Creative Sketches Week 28 Color and a Sneak Peek
I used the new Sail Away stamp and The Open Sea stamp set along with Teeny Tiny Wishes. The new stamp sets will be available May 1st in the new Summer Mini catalog. The ink is Elegant Eggplant. I "ooo booed" the sentiment when I first stamped it so I used the Word Window punch to create a new custom sentiment label to cover the oopsie :0) I used the Photo Corners punch to create the notches for the bakers twine. Quick and simple with a little twist. This is going to be the perfect card for grandpa after his surgery and will be off in the mail soon.
Jog on over to the Creative Sketches site and see what the other designers have been up to this week. Lots of great cards to enjoy.

We talked shop, we talked Bake Off, we set the world of carrot cakes to rights (walnuts or no? Discuss...) until, as it invariably does when one is 'partying hard', the conversation ended up at the topic of French knitting.
It turned out every one of us had spent vast swathes of our youth bent over a wooden doll with a tube through her middle and four pins in her head, tongues firmly between our teeth as we 'knitted' great big worms of wool which protruded from the dolly's nether regions and coiled down to the floor. For what and for why we asked ourselves? What was the purpose of this bizarre pursuit? Who needs boxes of woollen worms and what could anyone ever do with such things?
The Orcadian (as usual) came to the rescue:
|Taken from a 1926 copy of the Orcadian. Ten years of looking through these things and the casual use of a word like 'cripple' is still really jarring.

The Ottawa Senators earned an important victory over the rival Toronto Maple Leafs 8-2 last night but they may have paid a terrible price in the process. Late in the first period Daniel Alfredsson carried the puck into the offensive zone and then committed the cardinal sin of hockey. He admired his play, lowered his head and didn't watch where his body was moving. Mark Bell took a few strides and then glided in to lay a textbook, yet brutal, hit on the Senators' Captain sending him spinning through the air and down to the ice in a heap. A small melee ensued while Alfredsson lay on the ice with the trainer at his side. Eventually, he was able to stand up and skate off the ice but the extent, or existence, of the injury is unknown at this time.
Bryan Murray, head coach of the Senators, was angry after the game, "I didn't like the hit, I thought he was blind-sighted. The knee came out, and it was a hit to the head.'' This is in stark contrast to his defense of Chris Neil when he laid a nearly identical hit on the captain of the Buffalo Sabres at that time, Chris Drury. After losing Patrick Eaves to a monster hit from Colby Armstrong in last year's playoffs, Murray replied "I feel bad with [Eaves] getting hurt the way he did and I know you'll write extensive articles about how tough Armstrong was and how that shouldn't be allowed," Murray continued, "but we felt the same way when Neil hit Drury. It was a fair hit, a hockey hit and we live with it accordingly."
Hypocrisy reigns.

PORTOVENERE, Italy — This Italian Riviera town clings in splendid isolation to the rocky slopes of a promontory jutting into the Mediterranean.
Unlike nearby Portofino and Rapallo, often so glutted with tourists that traffic resembles gridlock in Manhattan, Portovenere has retained much of the character of a placid fishing village. Neither Dante nor Petrarch, who journeyed through the town and mention it in their poetry, would find it much altered.
Portovenere's setting is striking, on craggy, striated cliffs augmented by works of man that surmount, and seem to grow out of, the rugged rock formations. On a warm afternoon one finds myriad pleasures for the senses: the bright Mediterranean hues of the houses, the slap of water against the wall of the harbor, scents of ocean and cypress, a meal of sweet, fresh mussels and cool, white wine. All can be savored at a pace sure to soothe the weariest traveler.
Portovenere's uncrowded calm is due to its location at the tip of a finger of land curving into a sheltered gulf, long accessible only by a winding, narrow road from the naval and commercial port of La Spezia. In spite of its military installation, that city is a pleasant and popular resort, and a convenient base for exploring Portovenere and other towns of the region.

Bohlin Cywinski Jackson has announced the opening of New College House, the University of Pennsylvania's first purpose-built college house in Penn's college house system designed to bring together undergraduates, faculty, staff and graduate students in a shared community. Penn will officially celebrate the opening of New College House with a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 13.
Designed to enrich the academic life of its students and embody the vibrancy of its urban setting, New College House is poised to enliven the campus experience for the 21st century and beyond. The first residents in the 198,000 sq ft building moved in on August 24.
Bounded by Woodland Walk and 34th and Chestnut streets, New College House frames a critical gateway to campus. The design preserves vital open space and welcomes visitors to the campus along the 125 Years of Women at Penn walk with a generous lifted lawn. Secured by a tall, transparent gateway pavilion, the entrance sequence into the New College House passes through a garden courtyard, which is encircled on three sides by the building. The fourth side connects visually with the top of the sloping lawn, doubling as the dining cafe's green roof and, for its full extent, as a grand public open space for the entire campus.
Inside the seven-story building is an array of interconnected rooms, all with distinct spatial qualities and characteristics that foster diverse social and learning activities. Suite-style residences accommodate 350 students, along with living spaces for faculty, graduate students and fellows, house deans and residential advisors. In addition to shared common areas, New College House has dedicated spaces for music, a media centre, seminar rooms, and administrative offices.
"In this city of neighbourhoods, we sought to embrace the many scales of community that define the collegiate experience unique to Penn," says Frank Grauman, design principal from Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's Philadelphia office. "The New College House is, therefore, both inviting and secure, open and private, embodying the comfort of home, and the power to form a campus gateway worthy of this place."
The building's façade consists of brick and limestone, which is punctuated by vertical glass towers revealing interior circulation and lounge spaces with views of Penn's surrounding campus community and Center City. The house's design with materials and operations is targeting a LEED certification of Silver or greater.
"The building delights on so many levels-its marvelous integration of public and private open space, its sophisticated approach to fostering communities at multiple levels, its integration with the urban fabric, its deft use of materials, its craftsmanship, and, in particular, its assured manipulation of scale, which breaks down what is actually an enormous building into multiple integrated parts at human scale," describes David Hollenberg, University Architect. "The New College House will, we believe, instantly become an integral part of the landscape of residential living at Penn."

Very nice. And Greek terrorists can write well.
Humans are human after all.
From Mr Eugenides.
I was also amused by what these guys in Greece said….
The group, Sect of Revolutionaries, first appeared earlier this month when it opened fire with a submachine gun on an Athens police station, spraying the precinct with bullets but injuring nobody. […] On Tuesday, the group carried out a similar attack in the parking lot of the private Alter television station, again causing no injuries.
In a statement published by the daily Ta Nea, the group says its latest attack was a message to journalists that "the time that you were 'untouchable' is over."
"They manipulate our minds daily so that we fill the reserves of our disciplined time with values and functions that feed the system," the group says, adding: "Let the slugs of media journalism know that apart from the mucus they leave behind them… soon they will also leave blood."
"Mister journalists, this time we came to your door, but next time you will find us in your homes," it said.
The assaults culminated on Wednesday with an attempt to detonate a car bomb outside the headquarters of Citibank in Athens. The 60 kilogram device, assembled with ammonium nitrate fuel oil – the explosive used in the Oklahoma City bombing – could have destroyed the four-storey building and killed hundreds.
"From now on, the life of every cop is worth as much as a bullet, while their bodies are the ideal target practice," the Sect of Revolutionaries declared in its maiden proclamation. "They, like the doughnuts that they eat, are no good without a hole in the middle."
They may be bloodthirsty lefty lunatics, but those boys can write…(aka Mr Eugenides.)

State of Emergency and Level 1 Driving Warning Lifted in Sussex County
Due to the nature of this news, this is free to read for the public. Please subscribe to Delaware Surf Fishing for future updates and releases. Thank You.
The back roads are still rough with drifting snow. The DelDot crews are hard at it and had their own issues today, so give them a break. I have seen three plow trucks stuck on the side of the road. Lot of my friends are working hard to clear these roads with little sleep, or thanks, all while working over time. Give them a break and thank them when you see them.
Press release ….
State of Emergency and Level 1 Driving Warning Lifted in Sussex County
Wilmington, DE –After around-the-clock efforts by DelDOT crews to clear snowfall from Sussex County roads, Governor Markell announced that the Limited State of Emergency and Level 1 Driving Warning for the county will be lifted effective at 6:00 p.m. today. The State of Emergency has been in effect since 8:00 a.m.
"While the road and weather conditions have improved enough to lift the State of Emergency, I continue to urge people to avoid driving when possible in Sussex and Kent Counties to allow DelDOT to continue to plow efficiently," said Governor Markell. "We expect plowing to continue all day tomorrow and possibly into Monday to ensure the best conditions for the morning commute. If you must be on the roads, please continue to drive cautiously and keep your distance from the plows. I thank all of the DelDOT workers who have responded to this storm and all of the residents who have heeded our calls for caution today."

Movie Series - Billy Jack series
The Billy Jack series began in 1969 with the film Born Losers. The film introduced Tom Laughlin as the half-Cherokee Indian Green Beret Vietnam war veteran Billy Jack. His troubles begin when he saves a man from the motorcycle gang "The Born Losers Motorcycle Club". The police arrest Billy Jack, lock him in prison, and treat him with hostility and suspicion. Meanwhile, the gang continues to terrorize people. Billy Jack was the 1971 film and focused on racial intolerance, especially towards native Americans. The Trial of Billy Jack was released in 1974, in which the titular character defends himself against a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Billy Jack Goes to Washington was released in 1977, and follows the Frank Capra film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. This time, Billy Jack is a United States Senator filling out the remaining term for another Senator.

|Preachy, pretentious, hypocrisy-drenched garbage. Tom Laughlin's Ode to Himself, featuring his painfully ugly wife, a bunch of fake Indians, and lots of reeeeally bad acting. But some of the kung-fu scenes were passable, and I tend to take the Joe Bob Briggs approach of being easy on mindless crap movies when they feature decent gut-stomping and eyeball-removing scenes. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on May 7, 2011, 5:34 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote

Whitney Houston, who continues to play side gigs on the big screen with Waiting to Exhale, is the central energy force on the accompanying soundtrack. At the same time, her pop sensibility serves as the point of stylistic departure in this R&B-flavored songfest cooked up by composer/producer Babyface, who shows an uncanny ability to blend Houston's pleasant, soft-edged commerciality with the sexually explicit and cutting-edge hip-hop of TLC ("This Is How It Works").
A cross-generational affair, Waiting to Exhale combines 16 songs by R&B newcomers (Brandy, Mary J. Blige), royalty (Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, and Chaka Khan, wailing over a funky-lush arrangement of "My Funny Valentine"), and more off-the-beaten-path soul sisters: Chanté Moore deals in breathy seductive layers with "Wey U," and Sonja Marie takes a hypnotic rap-meets-rhapsody turn with "And I Gave My Love to You," tastefully underlined by the smooth pianisms of Patrice Rushen.
Overall, the album goes down easy, just as you'd expect from a package framed by Whitney Houston tracks — the shuffling "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" and the agreeably maudlin capper, "Count on Me." Fittingly, the soundtrack waits to exhale, hovering in sensuous suspense. B

Look Out for These Digital Marketing Trends in 2014
Following on from our post on Thursday, where we looked back at the digital marketing challenges we faced in 2013, we're now looking ahead to this year. We think 2014 will be about continuing to target people on the go, and on the ever-increasing array of social channels. We think personalisation is going to become key, if it's not already, and we're sure content will continue to be king. We've explored each of our predictions in more detail below. We've considered what they mean to you and your business, and why considering them will drive your conversions up. Mobile If you're not already considering mobile searchers, then you're missing a major trick. The number of people searching on Google, reading emails and using APPs on mobile devices is increasing every month. In fact the recent land grab towards mobile browsing could see the number of users on mobile overtake desktop by the end of 2014. In order to make the most of mobile searchers, who are ready to buy from you and call you, you need to make sure your website is in shape. Responsive websites are most often the best bet for businesses as they provide a great user experience. Once your website is in shape you can start to do more to drive mobile traffic to it. We've recently helped two of our clients by building fully responsive ecommerce stores on the Magento platform. All new quotes are being supplied with responsive included as an option for 2014. Social The power of social continues to increase, and audiences are becoming more and more empowered on social channels, and your strategy needs to consider this. Having a good handle on your brand, and what's being said about it online, is paramount. Consider review sites, as well as the more obvious channels like Facebook, when keeping brand mentions in check! If you do get negative feedback consider your response carefully. Being helpful and understanding is better than issuing a standard response, and hopefully won't mean the relationship with your customer becomes damaged beyond repair. Personalisation As we use our mobile devices more, and remain logged into websites, it's likely marketers and website publishers will do all they can to present a personalised experience to the user. This experience could stretch to showing a person certain product categories if its been ascertained they are interested in them, or it could be as simple as segmenting your emails more. Either way, if you give people what they want the likelihood of them converting increases. STAR Digital are a Silverpop sure agency partner, and we use the behavioral marketing engine to serve up personalised content based on browser behavior for a number of clients. We also serve up one-to-one email marketing campaigns that look at previous user behavior and send highly targeted creative based on recency, frequency and monetisation (RFM) as well as lifetime values (LTV). Content With the changes Google have been making to its algorithm over recent years, you can't ignore the need for a well thought out content strategy. A content strategy could cover everything from your blog, to going as far as publishing an ebook. By making sure your site has everything your visitors could ever ask for will help conversion (and please Google). If you'd like a hand with your 2014 digital strategy, then drop us an email, we'd love to help you and your business go further.

Italy's Riccardo Ricco, of the Saunier Duval team, won the second stage of the Giro d'Italia from Cefalu to Agrigento yesterday. Ricco beat his fellow countrymen Danilo Di Luca and Davide Rebellin in an uphill sprint finish in Agrigento. Italy's Franco Pellizotti of the Liquigas team finished fourth and is the new race leader.
"I felt good on the climb to the finish and so went for it," Ricco said. "This win is a clear sign that my form is good." The American rider David Zabriskie, who was second in the overall standings, has been forced to pull out of the event. Zabriskie was injured in a high-speed crash at a level crossing and taken to hospital.

Vintage Sheet Stroller Quilt
Here's a sweet little quilt (28" x 28") I finished up this afternoon. It's made from vintage sheets and pillowcases with a few squares of blue chambray mixed in. The lavender chenille backing matched perfectly with some of the floral prints and I thought it would be nice and warm for a child riding in a stroller or car seat. The quilt also has a layer of batting and is finished with binding cut from a vintage pillowcase. If you would like this quilt for your loved one or for a gift, it will be in our etsy store.

Montgomery, Alabama, April 3, 1825: Walter and Eliza Lucas, owners of the Lucas Tavern on the Federal Road at Line Creek, got the surprise of their lives, late yesterday, when the revered Revolutionary War hero, Marquis de Lafayette of France, who is on a grand tour of America as a "Guest of this Nation," stopped by their humble tavern 15 miles east of here "to dine and spend the night." Lafayette is due in Montgomery within the next two days.
With Walter being away, Eliza had virtually no time to prepare for such a well-known, heroic visitor, yesterday. But, despite the short notice, reportedly, the Lucas Tavern was "done-up better than it ever had been or likely ever will be again."
The Lafayette tour arrived at the tavern late in the afternoon. The travelers were rushed for time, totally behind schedule, and bone tired– simply too weary to travel on to Montgomery, last night.

Vintage cars, gorgeous horses, and sky written hearts - this looks like precisely my kind of day out! :)
I hope you had (and are still having, if there) a marvelous time in Northumberlnd, dear Rowan. Tony and I are nearly tipsy with excitement about our upcoming road trip to Calgary, Alberta later this week. It's our first road trip together ever and the first I've attempted in 11 years of being chronically ill. I'm stressed and worried in some regards, but thankfully the excitement and prospect of great things to come is winning out of the concerns.

I'm okay now. I think.
I was at work, in a meeting we have everyday. I started getting really hot and buzzing with a nervous energy. I felt like I couldn't breathe and like I was falling. The whole world just felt sideways.
It was so sudden and so unexpected, and not triggered by anything.
And I did it all silently because disrupting the meeting and embarrassing myself felt like it would only make it worse. So I just tried to wait it out and I left early. My boss was totally cool about it and is letting me work from home tomorrow.
So, I came home and Rich made me lie down and take my temperature, and I have a low grade fever. I don't know if one was a product of the other, but it is what it is. I took a long nap but still feel exhausted.
I have similar experiences to this more often than I'd realized now that I'm thinking about it. I just feel so trapped for no reason. Times in class or work or even relaxing at home when I just get a flood of overwhelming feeling, and I push it deep down to keep hysteria at bay.
It occurs to me this isn't normal.

Hospitals spying on staff in hand wash struggle5th of June 2013
With hand washing rates said to be astoundingly low among healthcare workers - and costs related to hospital-acquired infections soaring - some hospitals in the US have resorted to extreme methods to encourage better hygiene by their doctors and nurses.
When healthcare workers at Long Island, New York's North Shore University Hospital enter an intensive care room for example, a motion sensor is triggered. A camera is then turned on and its video footage sent to a centre in India where workers watch to ensure proper hand hygiene is taking place.
According to the New York Times studies show that rates of hand washing in hospital staff prior to any type of patient interaction are as low as 30 per cent without some form of encouragement.
The reasons for non-compliance are many. Philip Liang, who founded General Sensing, which provides sensor badges to hospital workers that track their hand washing, says an overburdened mind might be a chief reason.
"Nurses have to remember hundreds - thousands - of procedures," he told the New York Times. "It's really easy to forget the basic tasks. You're really concentrating on what's difficult, not on what's simple."
Liang's product knows when a healthcare worker has neglected to wash his or her hands. A badge vibrates when the worker approaches a patient's bed, gently reminding them to scrub up.
Studies have also found that doctors, more than nurses or any other workers, are most resistant to washing their hands. The reason, according to the studies, seems to be a resistance to authority.
To root out non-compliance and avoid losing Medicare funding under new federal rules that punish hospitals where preventable diseases are transmitted, hospitals have begun instituting an array of hand washing encouragement techniques in addition to high-tech surveillance.
They are training hand washing coaches, hiring monitors who dress like hospital personnel and secretly watch for hand washing compliance, and giving out coupons for things like pizza and coffee to those who meet certain levels of compliance.
Hand washing coaches are being trained for example, monitors who dress like hospital staff and secretly watch for hand washing compliance and giving out coupons for treats like pizza and coffee to those who meet certain levels of compliance.
Dr Brian Koll of Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan trains compliance coaches. One of the techniques he uses, he borrowed from football. When one worker notices another has not washed his hands, they can be given a red card by their colleagues.
Koll's hospital also has its workers wearing pins that read things like 'Ask me if I've washed my hands,' 'Got gel,' and 'Hand hygiene first' and Koll said patients' families are not shy about asking doctors about their cleanliness.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State men's swimming head coach Bill Wadley and diving head coach Justin Sochor announced the Buckeyes' 2014-15 schedule on Monday. The competitive slate includes 12 home events at the Bill and Mae McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion, including the always-competitive Ohio State Invitational, which takes place Nov. 21-23.
Ohio State will kick off the season with the Scarlet vs. Gray exhibition on Oct. 17, which is followed a day later by the Alumni vs. Varsity meet.

This year's invite will take place Nov. 21-23 and feature Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Kenyon.
Ohio State will be on hiatus during the month of December from dual meet competition, but the Scarlet and Gray will take part in the USA Swimming Nationals Dec. 4-6 in Greensboro, N.C. Following winter training in Boca Raton, Fla., Ohio State will return to competition at Denison (Jan. 17). The Buckeyes remain on the road the next weekend as it tangles with Big Ten-foes Michigan State (Jan. 23) and Michigan (Jan. 24). The Buckeyes return home on Jan. 30 for a dual meet with West Virginia and then compete against Indiana and Louisville on Jan. 31.
The Scarlet and Gray will close the regular season with a dual meet versus Wright State on Feb. 7 and the Ohio State Invitational Feb. 14-15. Following the invitational, Ohio State will head to Iowa City, Iowa for the Big Ten Championships Feb. 25-28. Prelim action gets underway at 11 a.m. with the finals commencing at 6 p.m. each day.
The NCAA Last Chance Meet is scheduled for March 8. Qualified swimmers and divers then have the opportunity to travel to the 2015 NCAA Championships, taking place March 26-28 in Iowa City, Iowa.
Last season, Ohio State went 10-1 in dual meet as was ranked as high as No. 4 during the season. Entering 2014-15, the Buckeyes return three first team All-Big Ten members – Matt McHugh, Michael DiSalle and Josh Fleagle.

- orthopedic soles made to measure by podiatrist.
- flat shoes (this model: http://www.adidas.co.
uk/spezial), with thin and loose socks to minimize pressure (no thick socks like tubes etc.).
- no walking/running for several months. I basically used a car or a bicycle to go to office (with pedals under the back of my foot/heels level so no pressure on ball). This enabled me to stay pain free for several months in a row and I think it helped a lot. I think cycling is great as it enables you to do cardio workout without triggering pain.

Early this summer:
Our garden produced tasty dinners.
Then there was a nine-day estate sale! Whew!
Of course, there was time for perusing photos:
And remembering loved ones:
As summer continued,
we laughed! A lot!
And cried some.
There were celebrations with friends.
And travels to far off places.
I watched for signs along the way.
Signs that came in many forms.
And when I see butterflies now,
I cry . . .
then smile.
But I keep going forward.

New Forest growers set to lift record-breaking pumpkin
Specialist lifting equipment has been drafted in to move a potentially record-breaking pumpkin.
The monster squash weighs in at 120 stone (762kg) and has a circumference of about 17ft (5.18m).
Twins Ian and Stuart Paton, who already hold the British record, grew it at their nursery in the New Forest, Hampshire.
The brothers said their success was due to "50% genetics and 50% love and care".
Stuart Paton, who has grown pumpkins since he was a child, said: "It will definitely be the biggest one we've every grown."
Annual festival
Although lifting it could reveal potentially disastrous mouse damage or decay, the brothers remain confident of "coming close to the world record".
The pumpkin has grown about 35lb (15.9kg) per day in weight over six weeks.
The plant's foliage covers 600 sq ft (55.741 sq m).
The twins have already entered the British record books after they grew a pumpkin weighing a mammoth 1457lb (660 kg).
The pumpkin will be moved in time for the annual pumpkin festival at Netley, near Southampton on Saturday.
The world's largest pumpkin was grown in 2009 by Nick and Christy Harpy from Ohio, USA, and weighed 1,725lb (782kg).

A cinema-verite approach to this mystery story about the death of a young girl in a village adds credence to the story itself, it is as though the audience were following along with a real investigation instead of simply watching a narrative unfold. An inspector and his police team arrive to find out why the young girl drowned -- under suspicious circumstances -- and start to work interviewing the villagers. Shown in close-up and individually on the screen, each witness contributes to a growing knowledge that the girl was sexually assaulted and beaten before she died, and the real mystery is why no one reacted to the horror. As the interviews continue, the inspector realizes it will not be easy to extract the whole truth from any of the guarded, close-mouthed villagers.

Hello Guys,
It was useful information only for the Hungarian readers (which I don' have I guess :)), so I didn't shared that some of my creations are available in a Hungarian shop named Bolhapalota, in Budapest. Why am I telling it to you now then? … Because I have a lot of challenges with that…
So.. it's a flea market, there are a lot of stuff over there, what I am just calling 'garbage'. You can rend some space there (a box, some shelves, etc), you are paying for that only, then you can put there any stuff you want – almost everything. There are a lot of artist jewelries there, handmade toys, etc.
I have decided to get a shelf there, and will put some things over there with my father, he is a collector of nice porcelain things. The shop is at a good place, there are a lot of people from foreign countries, so we are having there some folk crafts, and I've made some hair clips with the Hungarian colors:
After 3 days, we got robbed. The shop is not doing anything, they said, they cannot look after everything, they have a camera, but it's mainly for them only – we cannot check it.
After some days, we get back, got robbed again, and had our first sale: a small vintage tablecloth sold for like 1USD (300 HUF).
Today, I called them, they said, they finally sold 5 things. Good news, I still don't know, if we have missing something again, and me or my father sold those things, but that's some sign.
So, the main question is: I know that every country has differentiation, but do you have the same problems? What can you do?
Here are some – bad – pictures from our shelf, to have a closer look, what am I talking about:

THE ENTERTAINING ISSUE - November December Issue 2018
Salted Butter Break-Ups
March/April 2013
From Julie Van Rosendaal
In the Poitou region of France, this broyé (crushed) cookie is traditionally set out on the table in one big piece so guests can break off chunks. It makes great use of good-quality butter, which you can hear sizzling as the cookie comes out of the oven. It's a perfect dinner party dessert, perhaps served with a bashed-up bar of dark chocolate, ice cream or fresh fruit in season. Adapted slightly from Around my French Table, by Dorie Greenspan.
1-3/4 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. sugar
1/2-1 t. sel gris or sea salt
1/2 c. unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
4-5 T. cold water
1 egg yolk
Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine them. Drop in the pieces of butter and pulse the mixture until it looks like coarse meal, with bigger pea-sized clumps of butter. With the machine running, pour in the cold water gradually, adding just enough to allow the dough to start pulling away from the side of the bowl. It will look dry and mealy until you squeeze it together.
Dump the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, pat it down to flatten it, then wrap it in plastic and chill it for about 1 hour, or up to 3 days. (It also freezes for up to 2 months.)
When you're ready to bake it, preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment, remove the dough from the fridge, and, if it's very hard, bash it a few times with your rolling pin to soften it. Put the dough between two sheets of waxed paper and roll it into a rectangle that's about 1/4" thick and 5 "x 11" in size, or thereabouts. Transfer the dough to the lined baking sheet.
Beat the egg yolk with a few drops of cold water and, using a pastry brush, paint the top surface of the dough. Using the tines of a table fork, decorate the cookie in a crosshatch pattern.
Bake the cookie for 30-35 minutes, or until it's golden. It will be firm to the touch but will have a little spring when pressed in the center – the perfect break-up is crisp on the outside and still tender within. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and allow the cookie to cool to room temperature. Serve it whole on a platter or cutting board, set in the middle of the table. Serves 10-15.

|Getting blown away on the ferry
|We found Dory!
|Hello Magnetic Island!
|Wallaby by the sea. Could life get any cuter?
Later in the afternoon we drove out to a gorgeous little bay to have a picnic and swim-life is just so hard isn't it? ;)
On Sunday morning we drove over to Horseshoe Bay(the main bay) for the weekly markets, and stopped on the way to feed some gorgeous rock wallabies. They really enjoyed the carrots we gave them and we were able to get so close and get some great photos. Definitely a highlight of the trip, they are just so cute!
The markets were fairly small but had some lovely little trinkets and souvenirs. We rounded off the morning with a coffee at a cafe in front of the beach, then headed home via another bay for yet another swim.
The rest of the day was spent just relaxing (a bit of studying for me) before we all walked to a mexican restaurant called Man Fridays that was just around the corner for dinner. Some cheeky possums were very keen on sharing our meals! The restaurant had such a cute relaxed feel, sitting outside with the wildlife and cute lights strung up overhead. I'd definitely recommend you try it if you are ever on Maggie Island!
|Blurry cheeky possum!
Sadly, Monday was time to go home. We packed up the car, drove onto the ferry and waved our last goodbyes to the lovely Magnetic Island. I am already planning my next trip to this little piece of paradise-I feel so lucky to live in Australia sometimes!
I'd love to hear about adventures you've all been on recently! Always looking for new places to add to my travel list-please feel free to let me know in the comments!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,

That's why we're so excited to introduce you to the amazing intern working with us here in Berkeley this summer! She's a rockstar, and we feel so lucky to have her on board! If you're in the Bay Area, come by and say hi to Kelsey and the rest of the team!
KELSEY RILEY – General Intern
I just finished my second year at UC Berkeley and I am majoring in Gender and Women's Studies. A good friend of mine interned with WEA previously and after I heard about her experiences, I knew I had to get involved!
2. What do you do at WEA? Generally I help with daily operations, whether it be logging donations or writing thank-you cards to our generous donors. In addition I have been working on some graphics to add to WEA's social media pages, as well as doing research on the Alberta tar sands and their impact on indigenous women and their communities.
3. Share 2 unique/fun/crazy/weird things about you that your co-workers do not know! I enjoy the movie Napoleon Dynamite a little too much! I won a pig-calling contest when I was seven… I am strangely proud of this accomplishment.
4. What do you see as the biggest challenge in the intersections of women, indigenous issues and the environment? I think that at times it can be difficult to examine the intersectionality between these categories because they each have issues within themselves. We must be able to look at these intersections critically and search for ways in which they bring different identities together in order to make sense of these complex challenges and find ways to actively work on them.
5. Tell us about a woman who inspires you and why. Emma Thompson. Other than being an Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter, she supports anti-poverty agency ActionAid, is the chair of human rights organization The Helen Bamber Foundation, and works to raise awareness of human trafficking. I deeply admire both her work in film and her philanthropy.
6. Tell us one thing that surprised you at WEA. How such a small group of individuals can make such an impact in so many ways. WEA is a living, breathing example of women supporting women in a way that brings individuals of all experiences together to empower one another. WEA encourages women to continue being successful leaders within their communities.
7. What do you hope to get out of your time at WEA? I hope to learn more about the intersections between women and environmental issues, and how women can work together to make differences both in their communities and on a more global scale. I also hope to contribute to hands-on, creative projects that assist the social media presence of WEA as an organization.
Meet the rest of the talented interns that have worked with WEA throughout the years here!

What the Pope Saw at Hiroshima
By Robin Wright May 12, 2016
By Robin Wright May 12, 2016
A charred tricycle, its rubber pedals melted away, is one of the most evocative relics of war in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Museum. It belonged to three-year-old Shinichi Tetsutani, who was riding it when an American B-29 dropped a nine thousand-pound over the city, on August 6, 1945. Shinichi's father found his son, barely alive, still grasping the handlebars under the rubble. He died a few hours later. Because Shinichi had loved that tricycle, his father decided to bury it with him—so that his son would not be lonely—in the back yard, where his son would still be close. Before the attack, the Americans had given the bomb a nickname—Little Boy. Four decades later, Shinichi's father had his son's remains exhumed for formal reburial in a cemetery. He donated the unearthed tricycle to the museum.
On May 27th, President Obama is scheduled to become the first sitting President to visit Hiroshima's war memorial. The fanfare around Obama's visit has revived the tormented debate about the Second World War's concluding acts—the merits and morality of America's decision to drop the first nuclear bombs, in order to force Japan to surrender and avoid a ground war on the Japanese mainland. Everyone agrees that the bombings wreaked an enormous toll on humankind. The bigger, and more pressing, question is whether Obama's trip will change anyone's thinking about future use of the bomb. Read on...

As I dig for wild orchids
in the autumn fields,
it is the deep bedded root
that I desire
not the flower.
Izumi Shikibu (974-1034)
St Columba was pretty busy for a sixth century saint. As well as rescuing someone from the awful clutches of the Loch Ness monster he must be one of the few Saints to have caused and led a battle against another Saint. The Battle of Cúl Dreimhne took place in 561 and caused great loss of life amongst his followers and those of St Finian. The dispute was over a psalter that Columba had copied and which Finian claimed as his property – a sixth century copyright dispute in fact. Although Columba was obviously good at military strategy (he won the battle), he must have lacked political clout because he was exiled from Ireland to Scotland, something the Irish monastic authorities obviously regarded as a fate worse than death.
In fact Columba took the opportunity to found a monastery at Iona and his legacy there lives on nearly 1500 years later. The missionary school attached to the Iona monastery led to the evangelisation of the Picts and Iona became a place of renowned scholarship. Iona was the monastery where that most famous of illuminated manuscripts, The Book of Kells, was begun and it is also the original location of Celtic crosses with their characteristic halo around the interstices of the arms.
Columba sounds very jolly for a Saint. His biographer Adamnan says 'He had the face of an angel; was of excellent nature, polished in speech, holy in deed, great in council, loving to everyone, happy-faced and rejoicing in his innermost heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit'.
I can see the connection between Columba and bookbinders, of which he is also a patron, and the connection with poets probably came about because of his prodigious hymn writing. I also think the Scottish Tourist Board should also adopt him, given the legend about the Loch Ness Monster arises directly from Adamnan's report of his intervention.
Poetry has been my friend and consolation since my Dad read me Tennyson instead of nursery rhymes and it fascinates me where the human instinct to play with words comes from. People must have been doing it as long as there has been language. For years I had a dear elderly friend called Eleanor with whom I shared a love of verse. Then one extraordinary day she met my father and they recognized each other. Eleanor's mother was my great-grandmother's sister which made her my first cousin twice removed. She didn't know my maiden name and I knew nothing about her family – but a mutual love of words had drawn us together….
So here's an ambrosial desert for the patron of poets.
Athol Brose
2oz medium oatmeal
1 pint double cream
3oz good runny honey
2fl oz whisky
Toast the oatmeal in the oven at 200c turning it regularly every 2-3 minutes until it is golden brown. Whisk the cream and the honey together until it stands up in soft peaks. Stir in the whisky, then the oatmeal but reserving a tablespoonful, spoon into pretty glasses and sprinkle with the reserved oatmeal. Chill.
'In lona of my heart, Iona of my love,
instead of monks' voices shall be the lowing of cattle.
But ere the world come to an end,
lona shall be as it was.'
Saint Columba (521-597)

It happened again. I woke up this morning, my hair a mess, half off the bed, memory blurred and my hand clutching a spoon like it was a teddy bear. What happened? What had I done? And then it all hit me. The familiar scent of hazelnut, the rich taste of chocolate in my mouth, the sticky fingers. I hit the nutella….again. Real bad too. How could I keep doing this? It was so unlike me. There was just something about the way nutella smelled and tasted, the smooth and creamy texture, all the versatility, the things I could do with it.
Never mind that now, I had to figure out exactly what got me here. I looked to the right side of the bed and saw a few half opened jars of the stuff, to the left there was a plate full of crumbs. Crumbs. Okay, I didn't just eat out of the jar then. They texture of the crumbs didn't make sense. They weren't brownies or cookies, they were too crispy for that. I needed to investigate further. I got up and walked into the kitchen searching for more clues. A large mixing bowl sat on the counter, whisk still in it next to a used container of ricotta. A frying pan with a fresh layer of oil on the stove. Frying pan? Ricotta cheese? I clearly wasn't making cheesecake, so what could I have possibly done with a frying pan, ricotta and nutella? Oh no. I remembered. It all came back to me. I made my great aunt Carmella's Nutella Ricotta Zeppoles. But how? My mother kept the secret recipe hidden, I didn't even know where it was. I checked my phone, seeing that I had called her four times last night, she must have spilled. Obviously, what else could explain the zeppoles? I certainly didn't know how to make them. Only my mother held the key.
I went back to the bedroom searching desperately for more clues and there it was. Placed neatly on my desk. The recipe. The recipe for the most amazing, crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, Nutella Ricotta Zeppoles. Glancing over the recipe, it wasn't hard to see why I had ended up like this.
1 ½ pounds ricotta
½ cup of nutella
2 cups of flour
¼ tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
4 eggs
1 cup of neutral oil for frying
First, mix together your ricotta and nutella. Then add your eggs. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the nutella ricotta mix. Let the batter sit for around 20 minutes.
Prepare a deep pot for frying over high heat and add your oil. Drop batter by large tablespoons into the oil. Each zeppole should take roughly 4-6 minutes to fry, so please stand by and watch them. They should also float to the top!! Don't get nervous if when they are done frying they look dark, the nutella makes the batter a mocha color! When they are done, take them out and put on a wire rack so any excess oil drips off. I like to serve these the traditional way with a light dusting on powdered sugar! Boun Appetito!!
For more intense Nutella cravings and recipes, be sure to take a look at Ms. Adventures in Italy, Bleeding Espresso and World Nutella Day!!
