The Walmart Black Friday 2012 Ad was released last Thursday. The 45-page Walmart Black Friday 2012 ad is packed with tons of great Black Friday deals, but also some not so great ones.
Walmart released their highly anticipated Walmart Black Friday 2012 Ad last week. We have already released our Top 10 Walmart Black Friday 2012 Deals advertised in the Walmart Black Friday 2012 Ad. Besides the top 10 deals there are many more great Black Friday deals in the Walmart ad that are worth getting out and about during Thanksgiving night.
Walmart featured a $500 bargain 50-inch Plasma TV over the last couple of years in their Black Friday Ad. The deal somehow became tradition. Last year Walmart started to offer a 51-inch Samsung Plasma HDTV for under $500. Last year this was a great upgrade from the 50-inch Sanyo Plasma TV. In the Walmart Black Friday 2012 Ad a similar 51-inch Samsung Plasma HDTV (is it this one?) is displayed. It sells for $478. Walmart says you save $50 on this TV deal. Last year the 51-inch Samsung Plasma HDTV sold for $498 on Black Friday.
$50 are not exciting savings on a $500 item on Black Friday. I would have liked to see a $500 51-inch 1080p Plasma this year. I recommend to rather spend another $120 and get the $598 46-inch Samsung UN46EH5300 Smart LED 1080p 60Hz HDTV.
If you still want that $478 51-inch Samsung 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTV, you need to be in a Walmart store at 10pm on Thanksgiving Day.
Browse the Walmart Black Friday 2012 Ad now to see all deals. Shop the early Walmart Black Friday 2012 Sale on Walmart.com.
Black Friday 2012 is on November 23, 2012. Once again the whole month of November will be the filled with great Black Friday deals and sales. I4U News will again report about the best Black Friday deals and the hottest Black Friday ads as soon as they become available. The first Black Friday 2012 Ads are here and also the highly anticipated 2012 Walmart Black Friday Ad has been released.

- Three girls on a live web cam while in Las Vegas. They somehow got their hands on a sybian vibrator and have the blonde naked and riding it for the cam viewers. One chick says that for every $25 they get they will turn it up higher. Blondie is quickly having her first orgasm within the first 30 seconds. And they keep turning up the vibrations higher and higher. After another orgasm her pussy seems to start getting sensitive and she trys to take some pressure off her cunt with her hands. But her friends push down her hips, pressing her clit down harder and make her put her hands behind her head and force her to orgasm more for the viewers. Unfortunately this is a short video and the video quality sucks but the audio is decent, you can hear most of what they say and the blondes making some good noises throughout. Defiantly worth checking out!

广东快乐十分预测 www.jhv3.cn This ancient architectural complex is considered a model of Tibetan architecture. Located on the Red Hill in Lhasa, Tibet, it is 3,700 meters above sea level and covers an area of over 360,000 square meters, measuring 360 meters from east to west and 270 meters from south to north. The palace has 13 stories, and is 117 meters high.
In 641, Songtsan Gambo, ruler of the Tubo Kingdom, had the Potala Palacebuilt for Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, whom he was soon to marry. This structure was later burned to the ground during a war and was rebuilt in the 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama. Repeated repairs and expansions until 1645 finally brought the palace to its present scale. Over the past three centuries, the palace gradually became a place where the Dalai Lama lived and worked and a place for keeping the remains of successive Dalai Lama.
The stone-and-wood-structured Potala Palace consists of the White Palace and Red Palace. The White Palace, comprising halls, temples and courtyards, serves as the living quarters of the Dalai Lama. The Red Palace includes various chambers for worshipping Buddha and chambers housing the eight stupa that contain the remains of fifth through thirteenth Dalai Lama. All the stupas are covered with gold foil. The most magnificent stupa belongs to the fifth Dalai Lama. It is 14.85 meters tall and inlaid with pearl and jade. The palace also collected a large number of sculptures, murals, scripture and other valuable cultural relics.
In 1994, the palace joined the list of world cultural heritage sites.

Mukesh Ambani Wealthiest Indian Cricket Team Owner
NEW DELHI – Business tycoon Mukesh Ambani is the wealthiest Indian cricket team owner with an estimated net worth of $ 21.2 billion, according to a Wealth-X estimate. Ambani is the Chairperson, Managing Director and the largest shareholder of Reliance Industries, and through Reliance, Ambani owns the Mumbai Indians, the defending IPL champions.
According to Wealth-X, a global wealth intelligence and prospecting company, Ambani's worth is almost ten times the personal fortune of media baron Kalanidhi Maran who is at the second spot among the IPL owners and represents a significant chunk of the collective total. Collectively the eight ultra high net worth individuals on the Wealth-X list control $ 25.17 billion, the Wealth-X report said.
Kalanidhi Maran the owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad was placed in the second position with a net worth of $ 2.2 billion, followed by Vijay Mallya ( Royal Challengers Bangalore, $ 640 million), and Shah Rukh Khan ( Kolkata Knight Riders, $ 600 million) in the third and fourth place respectively. Others in the list include, Grandhi Mallikarjuna Rao ( Delhi Daredevils, $ 270 million), Manoj Badale ( Rajasthan Royals, $ 160 million), Narayanaswami Srinivasan ( Chennai Super Kings, $ 70 million) and Preity Zinta ( Kings XI Punjab, $ 30 million).
To compile the list, Wealth-X selected the most prominent and significant shareholder from each of the eight teams competing in the ongoing IPL. The 2014 IPL season began on April 16 and would run till June 1. There are eight teams vying for the trophy this season one less than 2013 after the withdrawal of the Pune Warriors India. Wealth-X provides insight into the ultra wealthy with the world's largest collection of curated research on ultra high net worth (UHNW) individuals, defined as those with net assets of $ 30 million and above.

What separates a good burger from a great burger? Well, some say it's the beef, others mention the bun, and even the toppings have crept up in a few discussions. It's likely to be a combination of all three for me, and the burgers at the newly opened The Burger Joint seem to have discovered the antidote for my new burger infatuation. Dishing out simple burgers with a few fun variations, like the Kimchi Burger made with Korean style BBQ Angus beef or the Smoke Stack that adds a nice portion of pulled pork or brisket and mac and cheese just because they want to, owners Shawn Bermudez and Matthew Pak are focusing on what matters when it comes to this American favorite.
With beef from 44 Farms (they had me at hello) and arguably the best beef in the biz, housemade condiments like their spicy ketchup and dipping sauces (think garlic aioli and creamy avocado), and twice fried french fries that carry the necessary balance of crispy exterior and soft center, the Burger Joint will easily become a Montrose neighborhood fave. Two final things to note – they are open until 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday (midnight on all other days) and the prices are super affordable (you'll spend less that $10 for their Classic Burger and French Fries).
Welcome to The Burger Joint where classic burgers, fries, and shakes are the foundation of the menu Matthew Pak has created.
This is the "Classic" made with 44 Farms Angus beef, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, and mayo. I added cheese and a fried egg and removed the pickles so I could savor them one by one. Yes, they are worthy of their own moment.
The hot dog should not be missed! The Chili Queso version topped with onions is made with a Nathan's Famous hot dog. Splitting and grilling the dog provides that extra "bite" that makes this a winner winner chicken dinner.
Oh me, oh my…hand cut fries. It really doesn't get any better than this. Just be sure to order a few dipping sauces so you can take your fries to the next level.
Go ahead and wash all that goodness down with a Salted Caramel shake. I went back the next day just to have the Strawberry and it is equally great. The syrups for the shakes are also made in house. Are you surprised? They also offer a bar that serves 24 beers on tap, wine and an "adult" version of a root beer float.
And this can all be enjoyed on the amazingly transformed patio that looks nothing like that of the former tenant (Little Bigs). It's casual and inviting style makes it perfect for game days and just hanging out with friends. The playlist, created by Shawn B. himself will have you grooving in your seats for hours.

Well, better fill in the forms correctly then.
Remember, those you troll and "stalk" and lie about are entitled to respond. It's not all about you. Could get messy.
You aren't really reliable, you lie. So many lies, so much nastiness... even attempting to impersonate me? Lying I had contacted / harassed your church? Lying I published photos (plural) of your kid on this blog to troll you? Lying CID got involved in having my Twitter account suspended? So many lies.
Publishing all my private contact details?
Quid pro quo? Is this some sort of threat and attempt at blackmail? It sounds like it. Well, carry on.
Is anyone really interested greatly in your bile filled, angry Storifies? I only read them because I can't believe how bad they are, how angry a person you come across as, how butthurt you seem, how wrong you are at times, how little you seem to understand the format, how little understanding you appear to have about a great deal. Must take forever to obsessively read and collect URLS, most of which have nothing to do with you. Not relevant to you. Wasting your time, but it's your life.
Attempting to prove Alison has disagreements with bullies who attack her on Twitter?
Read it. Storify is public. Though it does have Terms and Conditions, and of course defamatory comments made by the person curating can be legally challenged.
Picture? As in you using copyright pic and shitstirring? (I could publish all your anti-Muslim hate tweets... but you are proud of those I bet. Your pal Ambrosine Shitrit at @YadBYadUK is a pal of Pam Geller isn't she?)
But hey Andrea...
If you don't want anyone to read your Storifies why publish them? It's a public platform. A minute? Another lie to add to the collection?
It's all public isn't it?
As are tweets... and blogs ... public Facebook Pages... Google + ... public platforms. Reading them and commenting (as long as it isn't lies... that tends to be your speciality...) isn't legally defined as stalking. Don't want it read, don't publish.
So, collecting all these tweets, are you admitting you are "stalking"? Looks like it.
Possibly because you harass and intimidate people, you lie, and the CPS knows you would have no case? Police have better things to do than waste time on your victim playing? Police know the law better than you do?
Perhaps you make Alison feel "special" with your non stop reading and collecting all her tweets? :0)
No-one is forcing you. No-one is sending anything to you. If you wish to read blogs and Storifies and tweets, that's your choice.
Just don't whine when you find people find you repellent, and say so.

Hello everyone!
I would like to take some time to announce my three year book plan now that Darkness Rising has been published (and thank you to everyone who has purchased copies so far). I heartily appreciate all of the wonderful comments that you all have thrown my way about the work. Thank you. I also have noted your feedback, and I will comment on that towards the end of the blog post.
First I would like to talk about my three year book plan.
Darkness Rising was always meant to be a prequel or a book 0 of the Ancient Vestiges universe. It was meant to set up characters, countries, and the mythos for three lengthy books that would follow. Now that it is out, I have been hard at work at constructing the trilogy of novels. Today I am announcing the titles and release windows.
CHAINS OF FATE – Summer 2017
UNBREAKABLE WILL – Summer 2018
TRANSCENDENT – Summer 2019
These proceeding novels will follow the same format as Darkness Rising: they will be character perspective driven and have three distinct books or parts. For Chains of Fate, the individual books will be titled Daemon Lord, Godsbane, and Pantheon. I will be announcing the individual books for Unbreakable Will and Transcendent at a later date.
Now for feedback on Darkness Rising.
I have heard everyone loud and clear: the physical book for Darkness Rising is far too bulky. I will not be making any alteration to the book at this time, but starting with Chains of Fate, I will be decreasing the book's physical dimensions, and lowering the font. This will make the book far lighter. In addition, when I re-issue Darkness Rising in later editions, it will follow this same format.
Thank you once again for your support. I will keep posting — and keep writing!

Augmentation therapy is usually administered in a clinic, hospital, or outpatient infusion center. However, some patients administer the infusions at home themselves after receiving instruction and approval from their doctor.
Augmentation therapy is given weekly, and you will continue to receive weekly therapy for the duration of your life.
Augmentation therapy can have side effects. The most common side effects of augmentation therapy are:
- Fatigue: fatigue means feeling tired for long periods of time. Fatigue, or feeling drained, is a common side effect of augmentation therapy
- Flu-like symptoms: these include feeling tired or feverish, chills, nausea, body ache, and loss of appetite. These symptoms can often be eliminated or improved by infusing the medication at a slower rate
- Mild allergic reaction: some patients experience a mild reaction to augmentation therapy, including hives, itchiness, tightness in the chest, and wheezing. These symptoms can often be managed by taking an antihistamine prior to receiving augmentation therapy

Saturday 28 October 2017, 7.30pm
Thrilled to welcome back one of the most singular guitarists of our time for a very special solo performance - his first European show since 2011. Loren Connors' singular adaption of the blues is a distinct personal vision combining the Delta bottleneck sound and the ancestral blues voice (appearing as distortion, baying hounds or multi-tracked guitar), with hauntingly unexpected sounds. Outside of his three decades of solo work, Connors has also collaborated with the likes of Suzanne Langille, Jim O'Rourke, Darin Gray, Alan Licht, Christina Carter, Keiji Haino, San Agustin, Jandek and many others, as well as leading the group Haunted House.
Loren's set will be preceeded by a screening of 'Gestures' – a short film on Loren Connors by Vincent Guilbert.
Loren Connors has improvised and composed original guitar music for over four decades. His music – which embraces the aesthetics of blues, Irish airs, blues-based rock and other genres while letting go of rigid forms – has been recorded on Family Vineyard, Northern Spy, Drag City, Table of the Elements, Recital, RoadCone and other labels.
Connors, who names abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko his most important influence, has performed with Thurston Moore, Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke, John Fahey, Alan Licht, Jandek, and Kim Gordon. Suzanne Langille has often appeared on Connors' recordings as vocalist, lyricist and arranger. Connors also on occasion performs with an avant blues band called Haunted House, together with Langille, guitarist Andrew Burnes and percussionist Neel Murgai.
In July 1979, Cadence Magazine noted that Connors, who had recently emerged in the scene, was "similar to others in the Advanced Guard of improvising guitarists in that he is trying to extend the boundaries of sound and pitch of acoustic guitar, but he is unique in the utilization of Blues in his work, one could almost say this is Avant Garde Blues. He's swimming in new waters and beginning to make his own environment."
In recent years, Connors has focused mostly on live recordings of extended blues abstractions, with occasional performances in a more avant blues rock vein from time to time through the Haunted House band and collaborations with other artists.

Sightings of Loren Connors. To graze against the pulsations of time, to feel matter, to linger on the imperceptible frailty of gesture.

It takes a hell of a good party to get some of the brightest lights in whitewater—including Tyler Bradt, Doug Ammons, Steve Fisher and Rush Sturges—to host a film festival in the middle of winter. Since 1983, the world's best paddling films have been showcased at the National Paddling Film Festival in Frankfort (pop. 27,500). The two-day event in February is organized by the Bluegrass Whitewater Association; the venue, a bourbon distillery. Hundreds of paddlers and 70 volunteers come for a downriver race on Elkhorn Creek, and two nights of films, barrel-aged whiskey and beer. — Conor Mihell

At present I have a few plans up my sleeve. One of them is the launch of a new Etsy shop! Yes, I've been in The Netherlands for more than a year now and I've decided to share some of my favourite paper products and a few of my own creations with the DIY brides and bridegrooms out there! I don't want to say too much too soon, but while I am waiting for my paper orders to arrive from Italy I thought we could start with a few basics for making wedding invitations and stationery, so that you know the basics by the time that my Etsy shop opens! (I hope to be up and running by the end of November.)
Today we'll look at my favourite tools that I use for making invitations by hand. Depending on the nature of your design, you might not have to use all of these, but these are what I use all the time!
Cutting Mat
At the bottom I have a plastic sheet on which I work when I cut, punch and go crazy. Mine is just a simple sheet of plastic (3mm thick), but more fancy self-healing mats are also available from craft shops. A cutting mat protects the surface of the table that you're working on. Keep your cutting mat clean! You don't want dirt sticking to the mat to stick to your precious invitations!
Paper Trimmer
Another favourite tool is my desk cutter or paper trimmer. Mine is by Carl, but many brands are available at scrapbooking or craft shops. They can be quite expensive, so if you're not convinced that you'll be papercrafting after the wedding, it's probably not worth buying one. But please don't use scissors to cut your paper. Use a hobby knife/scalpel and a steel ruler on a cutting mat as an alternative. You just cannot achieve those neat straight edges that a well designed card requires with scissors!
Bone Folder
A bone folder is used to score paper and to flatten folded lines so that they're nice and crisp. Bone folders were traditionally made from bone, but nowadays you also get variations made from plastic. Once again your bone folder should always be clean to avoid marks on especially light coloured paper. If you can't find a bone folder or prefer not to invest in one, you may also use an old, dry ballpoint pen and a ruler to score paper and cardstock. (Just make sure that it is completely dry!) For crisp folds a plastic ruler should also do the trick, although I find a bone folder much easier to work with, because of the smooth surface and the rounded shape.
Embossing Tool
My embossing tool is nothing fancy - one that I've picked up at a flea market years ago. It has two fairly small points and may be used to score paper (against a steel ruler) or to emboss paper. (Embossing templates are available from most craft shops.) I use my embossing tool to sharpen creases if a fold of a diecut isn't as crisp as I would like it to be. I also (a)buse my embossing tool by using it to push small embellishments such as flat-backed pearls or crystals into position.
I also do embroidery, so I love my very sharp, pointed embroidery scissors, but any sharp scissors would be useful. I don't allow anyone to cut paper with my embroidery scissors, since paper very soon makes scissor blades blunt, but I use the scissors to cut ribbon, fabric scraps, plastic film, threads, etc!
Tweezers are available from craft shops, but you might find them for much cheaper at your local pharmacy. Tweezers are optional, but I always keep mine handy to pick up small embellishments or to position them on cards.
Eyelet Setter
My eyelet setter is by Making Memories, but there are many brands available. An eyelet setter is used to set eyelets, but it also comes in handy to make neat holes for ribbon, string and so forth. The Making Memories eyelet setter is quite noisy, so don't use it while the baby sleeps, but it is my favourite. Once again it was quite expensive, but if you plan on using it often, it certainly is value for money. I will, however, recommend a cheaper eyelet setter, if you're not that keen on doing a lot of papercrafts after the wedding! Or, if you don't need holes or eyelets, you don't need an eyelet setter at all!
Steel Ruler
I use a steel ruler, because the steel doesn't damage so easily when you use the ruler as a guide for a cutting blade. A plastic ruler just doesn't last when you use it with a craft knife or scalpel. If you know you are going to use your ruler with a craft knife, try to find one with a layer of cork at the back. This prevents the ruler from slipping too easily.

Reading: 'The Wise Man's Fear' - Patrick Rothfuss (so many thoughts - atcha soon)
Listening to: The Chipmunks, at Garland's request
Dreaming: of a family holiday to Italy
Anticipating: baby day. Days move so much slower when you're waiting on one of these
Missing: the sun :-(
Enjoying: book mail - thanks book.depos
The holidays are ending and we're all set (kinda) for the first of the winter terms. Our firewood stash is growing almost as quickly as the TBR pile on my nightstand. Hot water bottles on standby. It kinda feels like we skipped Autumn entirely, but I'm secretly hoping for a sunny comeback over the next few weeks. We need just a little more Vit. D before we face the rainy season...

While there are plenty of ways to add color to your routine to make a statement, the current favorite is a bright blush. Here are some ways to wear this trend.
Choose the right hue: Choose a bright blush that is within the same color family as the shade you'd turn after a heavy workout. For those with a dark skin tone, brighten and accentuate your face shape with highly pigmented blush colors. Apply magenta or apricot blush to your cheeks and blend along your cheekbones. For a night on the town, play up your dark skin with an orange or hot pink blush. You can look your best by dabbing a tinted balm along cheekbones for a healthy glow.
Go easy with the application: For the majority of face shapes, bright blush should be applied just to the apples of the cheeks and blended well. Try applying the pop of color a little higher up on the apple, but never apply a bright blush along the cheekbone, sweeping towards the hairline. Instead you need to finish off the look with luminizer to highlight the top of the cheekbones and brow bones.
Keep it simple: For a daytime look, a couple swipes of mascara and a little under eye concealer can complete the look. Lips can remain neutral with a sheer tinted lip balm. Or go for Nude lips with just a hint of color. Apply a creamy pink-beige lipstick with a brush so that you can get into every corner and edge, and really maximize the size of your lips.
For nighttime, a light reflecting sheer shadow can look fantastic on the eye, as would a smudgy black liner and a sheer lip gloss. Light gilded lids can be achieved by trading in your glitter for a subtle shimmer eye shadow, apply from the crease down for a clean look.
Bright blush for winter: Switch from powder to cream blush for an easy way to nail a soft, youthful look. Remember that with cream blush, a little goes a long way, so start lightly and build your color. A nice pop of color on the apples brings warmth and life to the face in way that no bronzer could accomplish in the dead of winter.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

I was in Tucson, Arizona last week painting the desert as part of the Plein Air Convention and Expo. It was a great opportunity to experience an unfamiliar territory and I really liked it. I hope to return soon to do it again.
It was hot and I wanted to cover a lot of ground so I limited myself to 45 minutes for each painting and produced a small stack of them. Many were sold when I returned to town.
I'll post more photos in the days ahead.

Square Enix designer Tetsuya Nomura recently announced that he is working on unannounced projects — one of which is a brand new title. Could this latest patent shed light onto that?
It's too early to tell; however, this patent application lists Tetsuya Nomura as the inventor of a character switching battle system for RPG/action RPG games. The system allows players to control and switch to temporary characters during combat — meaning, you can hop in the skin of another character. When time runs out, players then automatically change back to their main character and inherit the temp character's abilities.
The patent does not specify a platform, stating the combat system is designed for "a portable gaming apparatus." The apparatus included in the patent looks somewhat like the PSP.
More details in the link below.
Is This One Of Tetsuya Nomura's Unannounced Games? [Siliconera]


text: Father and Daughter Bond Through Boccia 09 December 2015 , By Yaocheng Lee Share Facebook Twitter Whatsapp Email Team Singapore's Lim Yu Fei Faye (R) and her father Lim Boon Ghee [Photo by Sport Singapore / Action Images via Reuters] This ASEAN Para Games (APG) is about celebrating the extraordinary in everything, not just the extraordinary athletes and extraordinary performances, but the extraordinary love between a father and daughter as well. Team Singapore Boccia player Faye Lim has a physical impediment, so severe that she is unable to speak even a word to her closest family members, but that does not stop her father and ramp assistant Lim Boon Ghee from giving her the best he possibly can. Faye's parents discovered she suffered from a genetic disease called Glutaric Aciduria type 1 when she was five months old. It is a disorder that prevents the body from breaking down proteins completely, causing brain damage, and in Faye's case, severely impaired motor function. From feeding to clothing her, Faye's parents have to take care of it all. Even the seemingly simple task of feeding Faye is trial all on its own, and her parents have had to reject outside help due to the unique way Faye needs to be fed. "She can't chew, she can't swallow. Just moving her mouth is difficult. We have to cut the food into very small pieces and feed her," said Faye's father Boon Ghee. "There is a technique of feeding her if not she will get choked so we decided to do away with a helper. My wife will take care of her during the day time and in the night time I will take over." Fortunately, Faye's mental capacity is not affected by the disease, although her impaired motor function brings with it its own set of challenges when it comes to communication. "Her mental ability isn't affected much. She still can understand what we say, we still can communicate. It's just that we have difficulty communicating in sign language because of her movements and she is speechless," he said. "So we talk in a way like charades. We ask questions or she will point at times. When we ask a question, if yes, she will give us a thumb up. If no, she will just wave her hand to say no." Faye (front R) in action [Photo by Sport Singapore / Action Images via Reuters] In any other household, parents might celebrate their children doing well in examinations or getting into the top schools, but the Lim household is a little different. They celebrate and treasure every milestone that Faye reaches, however small it may be. "There are too many milestones, but for her to transfer herself to the wheelchair is one of them. She will find all ways to go up to the wheelchair from the floor or from the bed," Boon Ghee said. "She will just push the wheelchair to the wall, lean against the wall and slide her body up to the wheelchair. She will also use the bed, hold the bed and swing her body into the wheelchair." "These are all things that we didn't teach her. She somehow figured it out herself. We were very impressed. When she came to our room by herself, we were like 'Who helped you?" "She was also smiling away like she achieved something." For Boon Ghee, who has a full time job with the army, finding time to bring his daughter to Boccia training can be difficult, but he finds a way to make it work as spending quality time with his eldest daughter is nothing short of rewarding. While watching Faye at a session of Boccia last year, he saw a family of three enjoying the sport together and decided to step in as a ramp assistant as well. Now, he could not be more thankful for the precious opportunity to bond with his daughter. "I like to play games with my kids. I play with my second girl and my boy but I couldn't find anything that I could play with her," the 47-year-old said. "This is a good sport where both of us could work together. I found that there was the interest in both of us so we started working together." "Actually my wife is very jealous. In fact, I spend more time with her than my wife." A smiling Faye [Photo by Sport Singapore / Action Images via Reuters] Faye has only been playing Boccia for 2 years but she has already won a silver in the Mixed Pair BC3 category with Toh Sze Ning and Nurulasyiqah Binte Mohammad Taha at this 8th APG, and she clearly loves the sport tremendously. "She enjoys sport. This game, you can see that when she wins, she will really give a big smile to show you she enjoys it. If she doesn't like it, she will tell you. It will be very clear and her actions will tell." Boon Ghee's only hope for his daughter is that she will continue to enjoy the sport she loves and live her life to the fullest. "My wife and I are hoping that after she finishes her school next year, she can go into full time sports." "Hopefully she can get a scholarship and play full time. That will at least keep her occupied and allow her to continue enjoying the game."

On a whim I bought a bucket of plaster of paris, after finding a silicone pineapple ice cube tray that I thought was too cute to use just for ice! So I mixed up some of the plaster, and whipped up a batch of plaster pineapples which I turned into magnets with a bit of paint and some glue. They turned out really well (although the leafy bit on the top is a bit shorter than planned - the leaves were a bit fragile and broke off as I pushed them out of the moulds.) I couldn't decide between a traditional coloured pineapple, or some uber fancy gold ones, so I did both.
Because I'm on a bit of a pineapple binge at the moment, I've been searching the internet for some fun pineapple themed printables to decorate with. The 'pineapples' print was a free printable which you can download right here and print off at home! And the cut out pineapple was part of a free printable fruit garland which you can get from here - I also printed off some of the other fruits to make a garland, but it feels a bit too summery at the moment, so I have taken it down until next year. Now I need to find something suitably autumnal to replace it....

Machinery Accidents on Construction Sites are Cause for Concern
Most construction sites need heavy machinery in order to function. Forklifts, cranes, drilling machines, and bulldozers are examples of heavy equipment common to construction sites. It is no surprise then that machinery accidents can occur.
Construction site equipment is dangerous because of its weight and strength. Almost all equipment on a construction site is high-powered and capable of causing life-threatening injuries.
Construction sites are fast-paced, with dozens of workers simultaneously performing various tasks. When a site is busy and congested with people, it creates conditions that can lead to an accident. The limited space on a construction site and the fact workers have limited sight distance are concerning factors.
Machinery accidents involve falls, mishaps with handheld power tools, malfunctioning equipment and more. There is a wide range of accidents that can occur on a construction site.
Poorly maintained machinery is also dangerous. It is the site owner or contractor's responsibility to make sure the machinery is safe. If a worker is injured through no fault of their own they may be entitled to compensation.

Kenneth Koch's Arcady
The Banquet: The Complete Plays, Films, and Librettos, by Kenneth Koch. Coffee House Press. $29.95.
When Kenneth Koch died of leukemia in 2002, I, a fan, was shocked. He seemed much too young. Twelve years later I realize he was seventy-seven years old — not that shocking. It was his poetry that made him seem so much younger than his contemporaries. New Addresses had come out in 2000, and if at first it seemed elegaic (every poem was titled with the vocative "To" as in "To Life" or "To Jewishness, Paris, Ambition, Trees, My Heart, and Destiny"), the poems overflowed with élan vital. The collection begins, with typical verve, "To 'Yes'":
Yes to the finality of the brightnessAnd to the enduring qualities of the larkShe sings at heaven's gate. But is it unbolted? Bolted? Yes.Which, though, is which? To which the answer cannot be yesSo reverse question. Pamela bending before the grateTurns round rapidly to say Yes! I will meet you in BostonAt five after nine, if my Irishness is still workingAnd the global hamadryads, wood nymphs of my "yes."
Here is the frantic (Koched up?) exuberance of his signature style: a lyric fantasia (brightness is final, dawn is enduring, song is a directive from heaven), replete with an erotic object and Buñuelesque displacement ("if my Irishness is still working," "global hamadryads"). This is heaven as id, where everything is Yes, but there's a Chaplinesque moment when he wonders if the whimsical gate is unbolted — the word itself a sudden slapstick among the unreal nouns. "So reverse question" elides comedy and logic. But like language, "Yes" can accommodate opposites too easily for even this sleight-of-hand man. A plaintive denoument ends on silence:
What is at the bottomOf the most overt question? Do we die? Yes. Does thatAlways come later than now? Yes.I love your developmentFrom the answer to a simple query to a state of peaceThat has the world by the throat. Am I lying? Yes.Are you smiling? Yes. I'll follow you, yes? No reply.
Koch's metaphysics turns on 1s and 0s: yes, no; existing, nonexisting; here, not here; suspended, if not resolved, in paradoxes like "a state of peace / That has the world by the throat." In his didactic poem "One Train May Hide Another" (from the eponymous book), he suggests waiting, pausing, looking twice: the world is a kaleidoscope of fort-da infant perceptions, as we are able to see only what's in front of us, and not "what was already there." "On Aesthetics," too, advises:
Put one handNext to a light-switchWith the other handFeeling for the wall.
Isn't it true that we feel around in the metaphysical dark, tragicomically, for anything that isn't subject to that on/off switch?
Koch excelled in comic performances. "The Circus" is an early example which doubles as an ars poetica. Years later he wrote another poem called "The Circus," in an elegaic mode which recalls the circumstances around the writing of the first poem: "I was living in Paris, or rather we were living in Paris." Catching himself with that "I" is the whole point of the poem: in it he regrets the friends and wife he left out of his first work. This epiphany led to poems like "To 'Yes,'" in which he compressed both manic comedy and sincere elegy toward his loves in the space of a synapse.
If comic poems are always performances — and acknowledge themselves as such — conventional wisdom tells us one doesn't "perform" seriousness. Koch disagreed. He thought too many poets performed seriousness and didn't acknowledge it, and that was boring and dishonest. His famous satire "Fresh Air" skewered certain personages in a fictitious "Poem Society": "'The subject for this evening's discussion is poetry / On the subject of love between swans.'" Could that be the great James Merrill of "The Black Swan"? More obvious yet:
Sometimes they brave a subject like the Villa d'Este or a lighthouse in Rhode Island,Oh what worms they are! they wish to perfect their form.
— which must certainly refer to Anthony Hecht's "The Gardens of the Villa d'Este," published in the Kenyon Review in 1953. (That little magazine gets singled out for special treatment not once but twice in the poem.) One might enumerate all the ways in which Koch must have felt like an outsider — a Jew in the Ivy League, a Midwesterner in New York, a heterosexual in a homosexual coterie (the New York School) — but being a comic poet with a metaphysical bent in the postwar/Cold War/New Criticism era might have cut the deepest: not that he himself was on the outside, but that his poems were on the outside. He wrote enthusiastic, influential textbooks for teaching poetry to children and the elderly: two populations also outside the sophisticated circles of the "Poem Society."
Since Koch's passing, collections have emerged with alacrity: The Collected Poems of Kenneth Koch (2005), The Collected Fiction of Kenneth Koch (2005), On the Edge: Collected Long Poems (2007), and now The Banquet: The Complete Plays, Films, and Librettos. They are, respectively, 784, 408, 432, and 634 pages long, adding up to a fearsome 2,258 pages in volumes that are painful to transport, like those supersized fountain drinks that I can't even fit my hand halfway around. When Koch wanted to snack on, say, Byron's correspondence, back in the day he could select one of the twelve smallish hardcovers that Harvard University Press issued: ergonomic, made to hold in the hand in a chair (or subway, or bed) rather than laid open on a desk, slab-like, waiting to be divided and quartered (conquered?). This is not the fault of Koch's meticulous executors — Karen Koch, Ron Padgett, and Jordan Davis — who should be commended for their unstinting devotion to their husband/friend/mentor. But I wish publishers would consider how repugnant (in the old sense of "offering resistence") enormous tomes are. These are poems, entertainments; not reference books.
But to the volume at hand. What to make of these "plays, films, and librettos," many of which were staged (or filmed) over the decades in venues ranging from the Living Theater in the Lower East Side to Naples Opera House? What can they give us on the page, separated from the music, costumes, and stage sets provided by the crème de la crème of the avant-garde: Larry Rivers, Ned Rorem, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, Merce Cunningham, Taylor Mead, Christophe de Menil, Roy Lichtenstein, Alex Katz (the list goes on)? On the one hand, compared to his poetry, the plays might appear to be small beans, side dishes. On the other, since his poems are highly aware of audience, extroverted, and broadly theatrical (employing direct address, monologues, characters, zany action, colorful mise-en-scenes), there might be a fine line between what constitutes a poem and what constitutes a play in Koch's oeuvre. (It turns out some of these plays are duplicated in The Collected Poems.) But his erudite knowledge of the history of playwriting belies any simple reduction. The foreword by playwright Mac Wellman points to the influences of Russian and Italian Futurists, Jacobean masques, Japanese Noh, medieval morality plays, and camp.
There are photos. The set design for The Banquet at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, for instance, establishes Koch's plays as companions of Dada, surrealism, and internationalist modern art in general (as his friend Frank O'Hara's poems were). Odessa, a surrealist sculpture Jean Tinguely made for Koch's The Tinguely Machine Mystery is now in the Jewish Museum in New York. The play, as it turns out, was performed in an exhibition of Tinguely's motorized machines, Attila, May Fair, and Odessa. Among the human actors are a Princess, a Detective (and of course, a Corpse), a Police Chief . . . enter a Japanese Priest, a Spirit of the Night, a Man, a Girl, an Admiral, a Policeman, and Sailors. This play — which has no plot or logic to speak of — is an absurdist pastiche of Agatha Christie and Noh. It reads like a bit of harmless insidery fun, like a revue put on by Ivy Leaguers. Or given the art-star-studded productions, a kind of downtown fête galante.
The fête galante makes an actual appearance in Watteau's Reputation. In sum, Koch's plays constitute a new Arcady: they're agreeable and pastoral; no one suffers. (The bubonic plague comes in person to sweep away Watteau, but the tone is very French.) Set all over the world and in different eras, the plays all but abolish space and time. The New Diana is set in "a large pleasant restaurant near the sea, on a Greek island." Among the characters are the goddess Diana, children, a talking dog, stars, earth, ocean, and a peach tree. It flits in and out of doggerel:
For when a man's aloneHis chest is like a stoneHis body with its groanOf Want — I want!Would play on him a stuntBut I can't bear the brunt.I'd rather beA pagan suckled in a creed outwornThan crave for simply company. Is there corn?
It's just like Koch to poke fun at Wordsworth, performer of seriousness par excellence. At times you can imagine these as the collected comic relief of Shakespeare's plays, minus the tragic parts, like The Enchantment: "An open place; it is dusk, a May evening. A young man, Rinaldo, enters." This could be A Midsummer Night's Dream:
Zoom! Here, flying through the skiesA lovely landscape I surmiseBelow. On it human beingsWith their human hearings and human seeings.Ah! I'll head for that old cliffFar from the Land of But and If. Oh this is freedom!. . .Now to a fish I'll change and dive —
An early exception to this Arcadian vision is 1953's Little Red Riding Hood, which is one of the best pieces in the book, offering the reader some As You Like It-style banter between the Wolf and Red Riding Hood and ending with the girl running to her "darling" dressed as Grandmother, then strangled, like Lulu expiring in the Ripper's arms in Frank Wedekind's Pandora's Box. Yet, everywhere else death is in invisible quotation marks, like Guinevere, or The Death of the Kangaroo.
When these Arcadian games work well it's because they're short — half a page to a page. One Thousand Avant-Garde Plays contains the best of them, like Départ Malgache:
Madagascar, why are you leaving?
I don't know.
But I do know this is two hundred fifty million years ago,
And I have to go.
Lemur-filled and enormous island, where will you go?
I don't know — I think just out there in the sea —
To save my lemurs I have to go . . .
(madagascar floats out into the Indian Ocean.)
O addio, dolce Madagascar!
(Malagasy music)
I find this sweetly hilarious, hinging on the mellifluous phonemes of "Madagascar" and the funny-bone-tickling "lemurs." It's the sort of miniature you think children might write, but they never really do.
The titles are exceedingly inviting: The Black Spanish Costume (which dances with the Pink French Dress), Gospel Toothbrush (Paul Cézanne singing "How old in de mawning you gwine use it / . . . / Brosse aux dents, oh yes" while he paints), The Arrival of Homosexuality in Greece, or The Fagabond (that speaks for itself). There are repeat titles, like the repeat characters Edward and Christine: Smoking Hamlet and La Comtesse de Bercy Hamlet, Robert Wilson Riding Hood and Little Red Riding Hamlet. One goes back to the question whether these plays might as well be poems, as in Down and Out Near the Bay of Naples consisting of an aria by a speck of foam:
Out of all beingI come,A tiny speckOf whiteFoam —Oh!YouForgotMe, andI'mGone!
Perhaps in the context of other poems, this would be cutesy; in the context of the plays, it is divinely plangent. Koch had an exquisite sense of scale. I noted that the plays abolish time and space. They also abolish the distinction between humans and objects. This is a final way to evade the binary: If everything's alive, even specks of foam, nothing's dead. Like a heaven of Yes obliterating the Yes/No switch forever, the refusal to distinguish between meaning and nonsense also dissolves the foundation of death's logic. If we lived in Koch's Arcady, the text seems to ask, might we live forever?
Would it were so. On the one hand, he is as gone as that speck of foam. On the other, over this banquet of voices he presides as a god. As I said before, I was shocked when he died.

nominations and awards
Named "Best in the Country 2012" by the newspaper Dagens Nyheter
"The new play by Lars Norén, "Fragmente", directed by Sofia Jupither at Folkteatern in Gothenburg is a relentlessly intriguing pessimistic description of modern society: 'terrifying and hilarious, terrifyingly hilarious even' said our critic"
Named best performance of the year in Götaland 2012 - editor's choice, nummer.se
Nummer's critic, Lis Hellström Sveningson, was moved and wrote: "Fragmente could have been content offering a distanced peek into the black misery of "someone else". But this is striking; the existential lines are finely drawn and at the centre lays the question of living space for us all. The gallows humour becomes a hilarious survival strategy that unites stage and audience. All in all, Fragmente at Folkteatern is an impressive collective manifestation. Intrusive, like a black-edged knife to the very body of society".
Nominated for the Nöjesguiden Gothenburg Award, Stage category
From the motivation:
"Lars Norén wrote a new play exclusively for the Folkteatern ensemble – a dark exposé of the invisible inhabitants of the city. We got to follow them deep beneath the surface, down into destinies that would not otherwise be seen. Powerful".
Sophia Jupither was nominated for the Swedish Theater Critics' Award 2012 for Fragmente.
From the motivation:
"The musical interpretation of the new drama by Lars Norén is a striking embodiment of people living staggeringly close to the landfill of life. At the centre lays the question of living space for us all and Jupither's stages a production that becomes a knife to the very body of society".

I love four. It's that age where she's just the right mix of baby girl and big kid.
Thankfully, she's not so big she doesn't like to snuggle with her mama.
Cause mama's not quite ready for that yet.
I am looking forward to more hugs, kisses, squeezes, and giggles from my little G.
My cup runneth over.
Happy Birthday, my sweet girl.

In the early 1970s John Stezaker was among the first wave of British conceptual artists. His work re-examines the various relationships to the photographic image: as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory, and symbol of modern culture. In his collages, Stezaker appropriates images found in books, magazines, and postcards and uses them as 'readymades'.
Saatchi Online
I think that these are so lovely! There is something very romantic and charming about them! I'm not sure if it is the beautiful old black and white photographs and film, or the gorgeous retro postcards.....but I love them!
What if the combination of the two images was not random? Can you imagine doing this type of work on photos of people that you actually know? I hate having my photograph taken, so this is my kind of portrait!
I wonder, what kind of postcard would be fitting for me?

A Talk With Steve Jones
It does look as if Darwin was, more or less, right. Most new discoveries fit well into his ideas. At the end of the century biology looks like a more straight-forward science than it did even 20 years ago, which I find a bit surprising because, to the public, life seems fundamentally a mess. Of course, if you concentrate only on the details they get more and more complicated. The DNA sequence is more of a mess than anyone would have ever imagined; It's not a pretty sight. But descent with modification, as Darwin put it, or genetics plus time, as we can rephrase him today, is still the foundation of life. Biology is not like physics; Newtonian physics is in a deep sense wrong, whereas Mendelism and Darwinism are in a deep sense right.
Introduction by
Steve Jones is a highly regarded geneticist and snail biologist. He is interested in why so much diversity exists in animals and plants: why no two individuals are alike. Surely, it can be argued, natural selection should instead inevitably lead to the evolution of one perfect form for each species. He works on the striking variety of shell color and banding patterns in the land snail Cepaea nemoralis. Cepaea has been seen as an archetype of diversity since the nineteenth century. In the 1950s, the English biologists Arthur Cain and Phillip Sheppard argued that such apparently trivial differences were under the action of natural selection (in this case because birds would attack the conspicuous forms). Jones finds that climate is also involved and most important that differences in microclimate on the scale of a few inches can alter the behavior and survival of snails of different pattern. Ecologically complex habitats hence foster genetic diversity. Jones has been writing and lecturing about science to a general audience for fifteen years. His book, The Language of the Genes won the 1994 Science Book Prize.
Further Reading on Edge:
Chapter 5, "Why Is There So Much Genetic Diversity?" in The Third Culture.
STEVE JONES: The small questions I'm asking myself have to do with genetics of snails and fruit flies. Not, I suppose of much general interest. However, they're a sub-set of a larger question which is, "Is life simple?" And the answer is probably more simple than you would have imagined, because the rules of evolution are straight-forward, and most attempts to bend or modify them have in the end turned out to be fairly unnecessary. It does look as if Darwin was, more or less, right. Most new discoveries fit well into his ideas. At the end of the century biology looks like a more straight-forward science than it did even 20 years ago, which I find a bit surprising because, to the public, life seems fundamentally a mess. Of course, if you concentrate only on the details they get more and more complicated. The DNA sequence is more of a mess than anyone would have ever imagined; It's not a pretty sight. But descent with modification, as Darwin put it, or genetics plus time, as we can rephrase him today, is still the foundation of life. Biology is not like physics; Newtonian physics is in a deep sense wrong, whereas Mendelism and Darwinism are in a deep sense right.
JB: What are you trying to do to persuade the public of that?
JONES: I've had the rather daring some people might say arrogant idea of rewriting the Origin of Species itself, in my new book Darwin's Ghost. The idea was to take what Darwin called his "long argument" and reconstitute it with the facts of 1999 rather than 1859. As I say to annoy my publishers, it may be a rotten book, but it's a great idea and I was amazed how well Darwin's argument stood up. We're thinking of special pitch-impregnated edition for sale in Kansas so that it burns well, but it would be nice to think that a few creationists might read it before they condemn it to the flames. However, the difficulty with arguing with anti-rationalists is that they're not susceptible to rational argument. People like Steve Gould have done a noble job in trying to apply rational argument. But most of them really will not be persuaded by whatever facts you present them with so that perhaps my book will have zero effect on them.
The odd thing about the Kansas fuss and the whole creationist movement in the States, is how new it is. People always assume that when the Origin was published just around the corner from here the streets ran with blood, city blocks burst into fire, churches collapsed and hundreds hanged themselves in despair.
Of course, that wasn't true at all. There was some earnest debate among intelligent people and by the end of the 19th century most religious people, both here and in the States had managed to come to terms with Darwin. They had two approaches each of which was in its own way sensible. One was to say that the Genesis story was a metaphor and every day represented millions of years old. The other came from Wallace; that the six days were real but they were the days in which God put into humankind, uniquely, a sort of post-biological soul, which didn't need genes and didn't leave fossils. Most religious people are happy to accept that and the Pope himself has recently come up with a very similar claim. Not until the 60s did hard-line creationism come back to life, and mainly in the States. Why that should be isn't clear to me at all. It has a political agenda in that most creationists are on the right, and wish to believe that there is a conspiracy by the left against them. If people of liberal persuasion believe in evolution then evolution must be wrong. But of course science, any science, isn't like that; it doesn't matter who believes in it, what matters is if it's true or not. And I have to say, evolution is true, no mind what millions might think. But why it is there's been a sudden outburst of antirational mania I don't understand. Maybe only an American can understand it.
JB: How has the evolutionary idea itself evolved?
JONES: It has,
in fact, evolved in some quite unnecessary ways, because
if you look back on many of the evolutionary controversies
of the last 30 years, they really have ebbed away as knowledge
has grown. Take punctuated equilibrium, which was a useful
controversy as it made biologists feel less smug about their
understanding of evolution. Or the lengthy argument about
co-adaptation, the idea that genes didn't work as individual
particles but as harmoniously interacting universes, and
that this slowed evolution down because it was hard to get
from one point to another. Or Sewall Wright's great idea
that most evolution happened by accident, when you went
through small bottlenecks, simply because natural selection
could never get from one form to a new one without going
through maladaptive forms on the way.
JB: What is
there about the public's understanding of science that can
lead to Kansas and creationism?
JB: Darwinism remains a big subject in the United Kingdom. Books on Darwin are often at the top of bestseller lists while the same books published in the United States may receive scant review attention and come and go with little notice. Is this because Darwin is a home-town boy?
JONES: There's elements of that. Darwin was on the 20-pound note. You saw his face every day. He is a home-town boy; he's an iconic figure in Britain. And he's really fed into everybody, not only as a wonderful scientist, but as somebody having an exciting and interesting life. Any school kid can tell you what the Beagle voyage was. And he comes across as such an attractive character, which helps. That's why so much of the best science writing is about evolution. Where are the Goulds or Pinkers when it comes to the chemistry of chlorine? I'm sure it's just as interesting, but as far as I know there is no King of Chlorine around whom you could weave the tale.
JB: What do
you think about the emerging field of evolutionary psychology?
But the problem is obviousness disguised as insight. There's plenty of good work on, say, the rate at which stepmothers kill their children; that's respectable social science. But I have to say I am not very surprised to find that mothers love their children more than stepmothers do. But evolutionary psychologists leap on the tables and shout we've made this fantastic discovery, equivalent to the double helix mothers love their children! I say, what? And men are more violent than women. Well, I kind of knew that already. It's true, but it's not very profound.
And then there's this huge penumbra of pseudo-science around the subject. It's what I think of as neo-creationism. In Kansas nothing can be explained by evolution; it's wrong. That's it. To a lot of evolutionary psychologists, though, everything in human society war, peace, rape, marriage, the lot can be explained by the pressure to pass on genes. But if everything can be explained, then nothing can be explained. You don't need any experiments, it's in the great Darwinian Bible. I've seen evolutionary explanations of acne, of gossiping, of ballroom dancing, the lot. It's a parlor gam called name and explain. Just as for creationists, all this needs nothing more than belief. The infantile Darwinists are in a situation where they can't lose. If you find everything in the Bible or the Origin there's no point in doing science.
Evolution is to social scientists as statues are to birds. It's a convenient platform on which to drop ill-digested ideas. An odd thing about evolutionary psychology which is what most of the public (and, as I know to my cost, quite a few book reviewers) see as the centre of the science is that it is almost absent from the practice of evolution itself. It may be talked about in psychological conferences, but it is never mentioned in evolutionary meetings. I go to dozens of them. People argue about the fossil records, about DNA, about animal behavior, about kin selection, about the nature of species everything is open; but evolutionary psychology is, in the eyes of evolutionists, more or less a dead duck. I've never seen any of its supporters at a scientific meeting about evolution, either. There's a kind of parallel Darwinian universe in the arts faculty out there and I don't think the arts faculty has much useful to say about science.
JB: What are you trying to accomplish with Darwin's Ghost?
JONES: I'm doing it in part for Dr. Johnson's reason, which is that no man in his right sense has ever written except for money. But I also did it because there was a gap that needed to be filled. There's a lot of good writing about evolutionary biology, but there's no good single book about evolution. Gould writes passionately and well about fossils; Dawkins about natural selection; Pinker about behavior; Diamond about our own biological past but every one of those topics is only a small part of the story of evolution, and only one chapter (and for humans not even that) in Origin of Species.
Many years ago myself and some colleagues thought we might write an evolution text. And I had the bright idea as to how to write it it was to take Origin and say, okay, this is what the story is; why don't we just use the same logic and put modern facts in. As soon as we started it became obvious that this was not going to be a book but a library; it would be the same size as Biology, it would be enormous, everything from Aristotle to Zoos. So it sat in the back of my mind for 20 years, and then I started doing it on a much smaller scale. The big problem was to know what to miss out. However, it amazed me how well the structure of the original Origin holds up. It has a narrative flow and a structure, and all the discoveries of today bolt onto it extraordinarily well.
JB: Where do you see the biological sciences going in the near term?
JONES: The immediate future is one of introspection. There's already the flapping of wings as the molecular chickens come home to roost. Five years ago the optimists were saying that we will soon cure genetic disease. They've been remarkably silent the last 12 months, and they're going to be a lot more silent two years from now. The great unachievable, the human genome sequence, isn't actually answering many questions. Instead, it's asking them. And the hope of an immediate pay-off is also too optimistic. The heart was dissected in 1540, the circulation of the blood was in 1670 or so, William Harvey; but the first heart transplant was in 1966. I'm not going to say it's going to take 400 years between the human genome sequence and the medical application of genetics, but it's going to take an awful lot longer than anybody had hoped. And I do feel that what biology needs to do now is to sit down and think.
JB: What's next in terms of your own scientific research?
JONES: To get back to being one of the great narrow minds of the century. One of the things on which Gould and I are in perfect harmony is that we are each among the six top experts in the world on the genetics of snails; and the other four agree. I have plans to go back to studying the population genetics of land snails in the Pyrenees; which is a lot more fun than writing books.

Famine puts next two generations at risk of obesity
YOU are what your grandmother ate. A study in mice shows that undernourishment during pregnancy increases the chances that the next two generations will develop obesity and diabetes. But then the slate may be wiped clean.
Environmental stresses can alter which genes turn on and off via the addition or removal of methyl chemical groups to DNA. Many suspect these changes can pass on to offspring through sperm and eggs, a mechanism known as epigenetic inheritance.
Anne Ferguson-Smith at the University of Cambridge and colleagues modelled this effect by restricting the diet of pregnant mice. Their pups were smaller than average and developed diabetes when fed a healthy diet. The offspring of the male pups also had a higher risk of diabetes (Science, doi.org/tph).
The sperm of offspring from the malnourished mothers had fewer methyl groups in 111 regions of DNA compared with that of mice born to mothers on a healthy diet. But, surprisingly, when these males had pups, the changes to methyl groups weren't passed on to their offspring, although the higher risk of diabetes remained. The team are now investigating what happens to subsequent generations and the female line.
