We also manage a 21 x 9 meter marquee on behalf of Scottish Enterprise. The marquee is available for rent and is offered at discounted rates for community groups in or around Glasgow. See downloads on left of this page for current prices.
Small craft production has taken on a more significant role in the GalGael programme recently.

Last year, soccer player David Testo became the first active male professional athlete in North America to come out as gay.
He told about his life in the closet in astonishing detail for Leander Schaerlaeckens' SB Nation feature Out of Bounds, which came out today.
[Editor's note: I was able to speak with Leander throughout his process of writing the story. His passion for getting it right and making sure it was perfect to his specific view of how it should be told came through in abudance.]
Some commentary on the piece by the author below.
TSG: Leander, what's the background on this story getting told and take us through what the story meant for you to tell.
Schaerlaeckens: This is easily the longest I've both pursued and worked on a story.
I first reached out to David in the weeks after he came out last November. I was going to write it for ESPN.com. He was keen but by the time he was coming to New York for a gala, he'd been so overwhelmed by media attention that he'd sort of run out of energy for interviews. We played phone tag for a few days and then decided to shelve it for a little while. In the spring, when the hubbub had died down some, we talked again and he said he still wanted to do the story. I'd left ESPN by then and pitched it to a few places and got an especially keen response from Best American Sports Writing series editor Glenn Stout, who was heading up SB Nation's new Longform section.
The opportunity to work with him was hard to pass up. So I went to Montreal for three days and David and I talked most of each day. We developed a closeness that I hadn't anticipated. His story was so very personal, and he was telling it so honestly, that it quickly stopped being interviewer-interviewee and just became two guys talking about life. That's the place they tell you to get to with interviews but you hardly ever achieve. It also meant that I became closer to the story than I probably should have been.
But, more than anything, it made me want to get it right.
And to tell it warts and all. David was clear that he was doing this in hopes of helping others who might be in a similar predicament. As he said in the piece, "I wish I'd had someone like me." And I thought that was the best way to achieve it. I would have done him or his story no favors by dulling the edges of his experiences. So in some places it's quite harsh and that was hard to do. There were a lot of times where I wondered if I was taking it too far. I was relieved to get a text from David earlier today saying he was happy with it. I've always tried not to care what my subjects think about my story but it's hard not to. We'd all like to be liked. And especially in this case, where you've essentially become somebody's biographer, you just hope to be accurate.
This was an important story to me. As a Dutchman I like to think I come from a slightly more tolerant (or is it indifferent?) society than the one I now proudly call home. I grew up thinking gay was okay. I've had fascinating discussions about how rare this is with my wife, who is as liberal as I am but went to a tough urban high school in New York where it was decidedly not. Some of my mother's closest friends are gay. So to me it was natural. And a part of me remains appalled that not more athletes feel they can be themselves openly. If this story makes one gay athlete feel better about him or herself, I think David and me would both be ecstatic with how all this turned out.

Dr. Fink is professor of pharmacy law and policy at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, Lexington.
A civil lawsuit was filed alleging personal injuries and wrongful death resulting from negligent treatment and care of a patient in a nursing home in a Southern state. The defendants had moved for summary judgment based on an argument that the plaintiffs had not established a sufficient case for the matter to go to a jury. The plaintiffs had based much, if not all, of their case on the argument that the nursing home had a legal duty of care based on guidelines applicable to such institutions in state regulations. May such regulations be introduced at trial to establish the legal standard of care?
The basic claim was that the deceased patient was a victim of a pattern and practice of neglect while in the extended-care facility. The patient had suffered a litany of injuries while in the care of the nursing home—pneumonia, falls, unexplained injuries, bone fractures, urinary and kidney infections, weight loss, pressure sores, poor hygiene, sepsis, and, ultimately, death. At the trial court level, it was alleged that the owner and administrator of the facility had breached the duty of reasonable care by failing to provide adequate staffing and supervision of staff, had failed to develop and implement an appropriate residential care plan, had failed to maintain adequate records, and had otherwise been negligent in the operation of the nursing home.
The motion for a summary judgment by the defendant operators of the facility had been granted at the trial court level, dismissing the claim even before a trial was held. The plaintiffs appealed to the state court of appeals, claiming that the trial court judge's decision was erroneous. The appellate court agreed with the trial court judge, and the dismissal of the case was affirmed. Upon further appeal to the state supreme court, the ruling at the 2 lower levels was affirmed as well.
The legal rule applicable to such situations in that state was that alleged violations of regulations do not alone support a civil lawsuit for negligence. The fact that the regulations had been violated may serve as evidence of negligence to be weighed by the jury, but that breach does not in and of itself dictate that negligence occurred.
It should be emphasized that the focus in this case was on regulations adopted by an administrative or regulatory agency. Pharmacy has no shortage of those at both the state and federal levels—boards of pharmacy, state controlled- substances offices, the FDA, the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, and other agencies.
The rule in this case should be contrasted with a doctrine in the law known as negligence per se. Under this rule, if 4 conditions exist, a statute may be introduced at trial to, on its own, establish the legal duty expected of the pharmacist. These 4 elements are required for negligence per se:
Perhaps this would best be illustrated by applying those criteria to something community pharmacists deal with every day—the use of child-resistant closures on containers bearing oral dosage forms.
If negligence per se exists, the burden of proof for the plaintiff will be greatly reduced, and the defendant will have greater difficulty mounting a successful defense. Think of all the statutes that apply to pharmacists in their professional activities on a daily basis. Add to that the myriad of regulations from the smorgasbord of administrative and regulatory agencies that apply to the decisions and acts of pharmacists. For this reason, along with many others, it is important for pharmacists to be thoroughly familiar with the expectations for them set forth in the law.

Nigel Slater's Simple Cooking - Series 1 + Christmas Special
9xDVDRip | AVI/XviD, ~1003 kb/s | 608x336 | Duration: 04:49:36 | English: MP3, 128 kb/s (2 ch) | 2.31 GB
Genre: Cooking
Cook Nigel Slater explores classic culinary pairings, working out why these combinations taste so good and how we can use this knowledge to make us better cooks.
1/8 - Sweet And Sour (23rd September 2011)
In the first show of this cookery series, Nigel Slater explores one of the oldest and most successful culinary pairings in the kitchen - sweet and sour. From pork chops and gooseberry to rhubarb with caramel sauce, Nigel cooks five very different dishes that all work for the same reason: the delicious marriage of something sweet with something sour.
To help further understand this pairing, Nigel meets friends Van and Anh who cook Nigel their own take on sweet and sour - an oriental lemongrass and sea bass parcel served with a pineapple dipping sauce. Nigel returns the favour with a beautifully simple monkfish, lime and chicory wrap.
2/8 - Surf And Turf (30th September 2011)
Nigel Slater continues to explore successful food marriages in the kitchen, with the spotlight this time on surf and turf - the classic culinary pairing of fish and meat.
From mouth-watering recipes like trout with Parma ham and lamb shanks with anchovy, Nigel shares his all-time surf and turf favourites. And to prove there is more to this perfect pairing than just meat and fish, there is a sweet treat in store too.
Nigel also heads out to find out how one fisherman keeps his crew happy by cooking the freshest surf and turf recipe - a simple dish of scallops and chorizo - right off the back of his boat.
3/8 - Spicy And Cool (7th October 2011)
Nigel Slater continues his exploration of how simple combinations can produce the most delicious dishes. This time he is looking at how spicy flavours work so well with something cooling.
From a classic chicken curry to a spicy tomato stew with yoghurt, Nigel shares some of his favourite dishes. And to prove just how versatile this food pairing is, he cooks up a new version of a traditional pudding.
Nigel also travels to Bristol to meet a man who is passionate about pepper. He prepares a dish of soft fruit with special peppercorns that leaves Nigel speechless.
4/8 - Soft And Crisp (14th October 2011)
Nigel Slater continues his exploration of brilliant culinary combinations, this time turning his attention to texture.
Success in the kitchen is not just about tastes and flavours; contrasting textures can really lift a dish. He makes a classic savoury pie with a puff pastry crust, and a reworking of his favourite childhood pudding: poached pears. He even puts traditional pizza ingredients together in a new way to make an entirely original dish.
Nigel also travels to Brighton to meet a couple who have their own seafront smokery, who show him a soft and crisp recipe of their own.
5/8 - Sugar And Spice (21st October 2011)
In this episode, Nigel unravels the magic behind the combination of sugar and spice, revealing why this exotic marriage works so well in the kitchen. Alongside a classic cinnamon, ginger and plum cake, Nigel demonstrates some unexpected recipes that also have sugar and spice at their heart - such as sticky ribs, and a spicy lentil stew with caramelised onions.
Continuing on his journey to meet fellow passionate cooks, Nigel heads to Sherwood Forest to sample a sweetly-spiced pancake that has the locals flocking.
6/8 - Born And Bred (28th October 2011)
Nigel Slater looks to mother nature for inspiration in this episode of the cookery series, as he explores dishes that work thanks to their marriage of ingredients that have been born and bred together.
Whether it is flavours that share the same season or the same landscape, Nigel shows us how we can use the principle of born and bred to transform our everyday suppers. The proof is in a tasty autumnal dish of baked mushrooms and chestnuts, a home-grown pud of blackberry and fig pie, and a Mediterranean-inspired recipe with baked peppers, tomatoes and basil.
Away from the kitchen Nigel visits two brothers on their farm in Dartmoor, to explore the link between the land the animals have been born and bred on and the juicy flavour of their meat.
7/8 - Hot And Cold (4th November 2011)
Continuing his exploration of culinary combinations and pairings, Nigel Slater looks at the role of contrasting temperatures in this programme, to show us how the marriage of something hot with something cold can turn a good dish into something really special.
From a simple twist on the classic hot apple pie and ice cream, to a chip shop-inspired dish of sizzling fish with a lime and chilli 'vinegar', Nigel helps us to understand the role of hot and cold, and how we can use it to improve our own cooking.
On the road, Nigel is treated to a special breakfast in Scotland by a champion porridge maker, and discovers there is a little more to this recipe than steaming oats and cold milk.
8/8 - Weird And Wonderful (11th November 2011)
Nigel shows us that the most unlikely combinations of ingredients can often be the best, as he explores unusual ingredients and quirky twists on classic recipes.
Newcomers to black pudding will be tempted by Nigel's alternative sausage roll, while lovers of the traditional bread and butter dessert will love Nigel's version, made with exotic spices and caramelised bananas.
There's also a refreshing winter salad using some unsung heroes from the vegetable isle, and a wonderful savoury take on an apple crumble.
In Derbyshire, Nigel is introduced to a rather unusual meat - boar - as young farmer Tom Clarke cooks him his signature boar burger.
Special - Simple Christmas (21st December 2011)
Nigel Slater presents a nostalgic celebration of well-loved Christmas dishes, past and present. From a sea bass starter to a roast duck feast and a dazzling party trifle, Nigel demonstrates how special dishes can be made simply, especially when it comes to feeding family and friends over Christmas.
Nigel also prepares some winter warmers, inspired by his own festive memories, and gives his dad's annual contribution - the Christmas casserole - a tasty makeover. Plus, there is a bold and bright winter slaw inspired by the Slater festive cheeseboard.
Finally, an invitation to a venison supper in a Scottish castle completes the celebrations and gives Nigel a great excuse to create a new cocktail to toast Christmas and the New Year.

Hi there...
On Thursday of this week, I think I experienced an ocular migraine. I went to the optometrist (ophthalmologist was not available) because my vision was distorted and I lost my peripheral vision. All tests were normal and there is nothing that is wrong with my eyes, per se.
Have any of you experienced this?
Quoted from VictoriaI had an ocular migraine a couple of years ago. It was after hearing some shocking news. It was like looking through a film of rippling water with a shimmering ring around it that gradually got bigger until it was gone after about 20 minutes. I did go to a doctor who ruled out stroke.
I had another one last year that was way milder and lasted hardly 3 minutes.
How is your stress level?
Victoria - My stress level is high. I didn't realize it, though.
Quoted from ABJoeI didn't necessarily notice having a migraine, but I have had temporary blurry vision and "tunnel" vision, where it (at least) seems like I can't see peripherally... I usually feel bad enough during this that I don't really care if I can see or not...LOL!!
I am doing cranial and spinal nerve healing, so the pressures in my head have been all over the place for a while now... I also get sporadic TMJ pain / popping, spurious smells, as well as variable pitch and volume ringing in the ears.
No wonder people have told me it was all in my head for years... ;) ;D
Victoria - My stress level is high. I didn't realize it, though. I just finished student teaching for four months. I was working full time as a hotel director at night and student teaching during the day, five days a week. I was going in to work on the weekends too. I got about 3-4 hours of sleep per night during this time. I also had problems at work, which worried me. I didn't realize how much stress I was under. During this time, I started to watch calories and didn't lose a pound - not one. I actually gained at one point.
I was just looking at my laptop for a movie for the students and looked up, and all of a sudden started to notice that I could not see part of people's faces. I saw distorted images, squiggly lines, etc. As I was driving to the doctor, I lost my peripheral vision and some of my hearing on the left side temporarily.
Quoted from SpringI don't know how you so faithfully contribute to this forum the way you do with all this going on! It is simply amazing to me!
Quoted from SpringWell, ABJoe, I know it has taken the patience of Job to deal with all the issues you have or had. There is nothing else like the Teacher called Adversity. You have learned volumes that you have in turn used to help others find their way through some awful times. Probably many of them never posted a word on the forum. But they saw your words as a light shining in a dark place. Their place.....
I have had some horrific migraines in the past. I think my first one was in High School when I was 17. I had eaten a chocolate hostess donut and a pepsi for breakfast. The second time it happened was about 2 years later, where someone gave me a part of a zinger. They proceeded to come more often over the years and it took me 14 years to finally get a doctor to tell me it was a migraine. My migraines went like this... My fingers and or toes would start to tingle, kind of like if you sat on your foot and it was falling asleep. Then I would get blind spots in my eyes. At times it would be like my eyes were looking thru a kaleidoscope, I could see parts of what was in front of me.. My speech would get garbled, almost like I was a drunk.. I could not think of the word I wanted to say. Then the pain would start... OH MY GOSH... My head felt like someone was taking a rail road spike and driving it in the top center of my head every 20 seconds. By this time I was pretty much blinded and it lasted for 30 to 45 minutes. The headache pain would last for a few days and I would be in a metal stooper for about 2 weeks. I had been to doctor after doctor and not one could tell me what was wrong with me. Finally I went to an internal doctor and he said to me " oh you are just having migraines". Which was a far cry better than what my mom kept telling me, that I was having a brain aneurism and my head was going to explode. From that time, every time I have a migraine I tell myself "its just a migraine" and they do not get as bad.
I do get htem when stressed out and mostly in the the fall when my mom use to come up to visit and the rag weed is out. If I am stressed and I eat things liek night shade family, it will put me in a migraine within 10 minutes. At the worst time from my migraines was my early 30s and I was having about 5 to 7 of those rail road spike events a day. At that point I knew it was migraines and the internet was just getting going , so I looked up migraines and found out that the very thing I was takign to help make them go away was in fact making them worse!!! Can you guess...
I was drinking diet pepsi because it had caffeine in it .... but little did I know that the nutra sweet was causing this MEGA pain to my head. Immediately, I stopped the diet pepsi and I went for months without a migraine.
I have found that last year , about 12 days after Fukushima disaster happened, in the spring, I started getting migraines every time the wind blows. Then this year, just a few weeks ago another plant blew up in Japan, a petro chemical plant. I had a migraine last week when the wind blew and yesterday the wind blew again and I got a pretty bad one while trying to go grocery shopping.
Pay attention to the weather...
Quoted TextI have been making a concerted effort to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. I definitely think my life needs to change and I am doing everything possible to make that happen. I also need to add some more vegetables (I actually eat a good amount) and probably some vitamins and minerals (I am not taking anything except for ox bile with meals.)
. . My migraines went like this... My fingers and or toes would start to tingle, kind of like if you sat on your foot and it was falling asleep.
. . I do get htem when stressed out and mostly in the the fall when my mom use to come up to visit and the rag weed is out. If I am stressed and I eat things liek night shade family, it will put me in a migraine within 10 minutes.
Sometimes taking DEEP breaths in thru your nose then blow out your mouth helps calm you down. There have been times when I felt like I was going to be the proud recipient of another migraine and I do the deep breathing and it goes away. :o

KootCo, Bonner Want Home Sale-Price Disclosures
Item: Property buyers may have to disclose prices: Kootenai, Bonner counties say data needed to calculate taxes/Erica F. Curless, Spokesman-Review
More Info: Kootenai and Bonner counties may become the first in Idaho to require property buyers to disclose sale prices since Multiple Listing Services are no longer providing the information. Passing a similar statewide law is a priority for the Idaho Association of County Assessors because it's the only way to avoid a guessing game and more accurately calculate the fair market value of each parcel in a county.
Question: Should Kootenai and Bonner counties require sale-price disclosures to calculate taxes?

The Settlers 4 Cheats
The Settlers 4 Hints
PC | Submitted by FecToRGreat Roman Tip
When you are playing Romans at this game build up your manna and large temples quickly for when your enemy attacks you can convert many of his soldiers to your side. Things you should convert are Squad Leaders and their few level 3 archers and swordsmen. If you convert their unique unit eg. an axeman he will become a medic and heal your new soldiers. (I have gone through levels without creating a soldier :-D)
PC | Submitted by ScRuFFeRGreat Viking Tip
Build about 200 - 300 Level 3 Archers and then about 25 Level 3 Axe Warriors. Now move all of the archers deep into enemy territory. All of the enemy's soldiers shall attack your archers and wait for your archers to defeat the enemy soldiers then with all these axe warriors attack each tower. The Axe Warriors will destroy every one of the towers. Station all your archers around the enemy barracks to stop soldiers attacking your Axe Warriors. (If you are playing the romans be careful of the priests as they can convert alot of your soldiers into enemy archers) :)
The Settlers 4 Cheats
PC | Submitted by FecToRCounterattack
When you have good resources coming in. Build a castle surrounded by large towers and garrison them fully with any level soldiers (preferably level 3 soldiers). Enemy usually attacks at the 60 minute - 90 minute mark so when enemy attacks send all of your remaining soldiers to attack enemy towers. This should weaken the enemy alot and help you defeat them.

Lakers' great Jerry West works to make Northern Trust Open a winner
Lakers great Jerry West is in a forever giving mood.
He expressed admiration for Kobe Bryant this past week as Bryant closed in on surpassing West as the Lakers' all-time leading scorer, a feat that became official Monday in the team's 95-93 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
West is also gearing up for the Northern Trust Open, the next stop on the PGA Tour that begins Thursday at Riviera Country Club, which he says will ultimately result in significant amounts of money going to L.A. charities.
For the last nine months, West has served as the tournament's executive director in hopes of getting "fans back in record numbers" to a tournament that's been around since 1926. That effort has included endless meetings with business leaders and golfers to spark interest in the tournament. It's resulted in 38 of the 50 top money-winners participating in the Northern Trust Open, including two-time defending champion Phil Mickelson.
"Anytime someone has won it twice, it helps," West said. "He plays the game with a flair. It kind of reminds me of an old Arnold Palmer."
West, 71, put much work in attracting other top candidates. The Daily News' Jill Painter reported in a well-detailed story that some of West's efforts in landing the top players came with a personal touch. He convinced Anthony Kim and Stewart Cink to play the event by offering his personal Lakers seats, and hosted breakfast for Y.E. Yang at Sherwood Country Club.
Having a talent-heavy field, West said, wasn't his main motivation, however. The main reason is the charitable contributions, which include allowing members of the military and their families to attend the event for free, an action that hits home with West, whose brother, David, was killed in the Korean War.
Just recently, West took part in the Play for L.A. charity event, which involved celebrities hitting golf balls in various locations around Los Angeles. That included West chipping a shot through the Hollywood sign and into a Ferris wheel gomdola on the Santa Monica Pier.
"I'm not a horrible golfer," West said. "That didn't look very hard, to be honest with you. If I can embarrass myself out here by doing this and it'll help the people, I'm sure I'm going to do it."
After all, the West Virginia product calls Los Angeles his second home, and he said he remains forever grateful for the community support during his storied career with the Lakers (1960-74).

What is it about a Kässbohrer Pisten Bully that skiers love? It has to be one of the most ungainly looking vehicles ever made. Coming down the trail, the pisten bully sounds like a space ship has just landed, and especially in the twilight or darkness, it can look like a prop from "Mars Attacks."
The McCloughan family actually owns 3 pisten bullies. Dave and Barb Tuttle originally bought this one for Bearskin in 1987:
City of Lakes Loppet … or 2 days in a big plastic tentMonday, February 4th, 2008
Quinn and I have spent the past 2 days perched on folding chairs in a giant striped vinyl tent near Lake and Hennepin in uptown Minneapolis, talking to hundreds of enthusiastic skiers about Bearskin and the Central Gunflint Ski Trail system. The event was the which Bearskin helps to sponsor. Members of our family have regularly participated in this event since its inception in 2003, both as racers and as volunteers, but spending a few days behind our sponsor table at the vendor village left us even more impressed with the Loppet, its participants and its many, many dedicated volunteers.

It's been a very busy day at Bearskin Lodge. The cookie jar has been emptied to nothing but crumbs, we're down to the bottom of our second big container of free coffee, and the flames from the fire in the big stone fireplace are slowly dwindling to embers. It was incredibly cold today, with temperatures hovering in double digits below zero all afternoon. I was feeling fairly sorry for people who paid for a lovely cabin or lodge in order to ski over their 3 day vacation, only to end up with bitterly cold weather.

Bad day for birds…and suckersTuesday, November 6th, 2007
It was a bad morning for birds. Found this little guy hanging upside down in a tree near the staff house, his wiry orange feet still clutching the branch, his beak dripping icicles, his feathers coated with snow and his eyes frozen in an icy orange stare.

$63,000Topics: Political News and commentaries
$63,000 in additional expenses ... that's the likely cost to taxpayers for the decision by First Lady Michelle Obama to leave on schedule for her two-week Hawaii vacation and not wait a few days for her delayed husband, according to a White House Dossier analysis:
Mrs. Obama jetted out to Hawaii on an Air Force C-40B Special Mission Aircraft. The Defense Department bills other agencies $6,330 per flight hour for use the plane.No worry, it's only money. And what does it matter when other people are paying for your trip!
Assuming a flight time from Washington DC to Hawaii of about ten hours, the cost to taxpayers for the flight alone would be about $63,000.
But Mrs. Obama's determination to get her full two weeks of Hawaiian rest and relaxation probably cost a good deal more. By leaving early, she forced a large logistical support operation - including a retinue of Secret Service agents - to get itself up and running.
Besides, at least its less than the $250,000 Michelle's trip to Spain cost us.

The Armed Forces Flag has been flying proudly all week over Burnley Town Hall.
The flag was hoisted at the start of Armed Forces Week, held annually to commemorate the service of men and women in the British Armed Forces.
The Mayor of Burnley, Coun. Andy Tatchell, said: "Armed Forces Day is an opportunity to remember the hard work and sacrifice of the men and women in our Armed Services.
"It's a chance to recognise the bravery that servicemen and women show in carrying out their duty on behalf of all of us. The fact that this year marks the centenary of the start of the First World War makes the occasion even more poignant and relevant."
Representatives from the Royal British Legion, the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, the Lord Lieutenant's office, Salute, VAUK, cadets and Burnley Borough Council attended the ceremony.

Queen Victoria agave, above, illustrates the exquisite symmetry of succulents. Zazzle offers a variety of sizes of my stretched canvas prints, starting at about $75. (I know. Too much. See my comment above about never paying full price when buying from Zazzle!)
Below are some of my online shopping discoveries. Enjoy!
Decorative items depicting succulents are trending on the home and garden scene. Someday soon, succulent rosettes may replace traditional florals on fabric, paper, jewelry and more. In fact, they already are. A few examples…
Succulent socks Made of cotton, nylon and spandex, these cute and colorful socks offer a whimsical approach to succulent chic. One size fits all. Around $10.
Succulent Throw Pillows You know those throw pillows you're tired of? Give them—and your sofa—a facelift with your favorite succulents. Made of cotton blend linen, each of these 18 x 18-inch pillow covers has a hidden zipper.

Succulent shower curtain Enhance a guest bath or jazz up your own. This colorful watercolor of a sunlit echeveria pairs beautifully with towels in the same rainbow hues. Size 66 x 72 inches, polyester, curtain hooks included. A wonderful conversation piece. Around $30.
This design is also available as place mats.
***Debra Predicts***
We'll see stylized succulents more and more in jewelry, tile, mosaic, scarves, wrapping paper, buttons, place mats, gift bags, coasters, napkins, pillows, and upholstery.
Consider: Florals have graced paper and fabric for centuries, appearing on everything from wallpaper to pajamas. Why not succulents?
When depicted in two dimensions, the difference between a succulent rosette and a flower is the center. Succulents have emerging leaves; roses, tiny overlapping petals. Flowers also have a central disk (pistil). Moreover, succulent leaves are thicker than petals. Rosettes may crowd together in a hens-and-chicks fashion, send forth flowers themselves, and seldom have long, slender stems.
Why not create your own succulent-embellished items? Start with one of the 75 line drawings in my coloring book, Sensational Succulents.

How Sweep It Is: Indians break out the brooms, defeat Angels 3-1
Masterson, Tribe win third straight over Halos inching closer to wild card
LOS ANGELES—Even the bright sun of Tinseltown couldn't out shine the blazing Tribe.
A two-run homer by Nick Swisher and another quality start from ace Justin Masterson (14-9, 3.50 ERA) was more than enough against the last place Angles, as the Indians defeated the Halos 3-1 to sweep the three-game series.
Coming off a 14-inning win late Tuesday night, manager Terry Francona needed Masterson to eat up a bulk of the game in the rubber match Wednesday. He wasn't as sharp as he can be, but Masty did just that. The 6-foot-6 right-hander gave up just the one run on five hits over 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven for his team leading 14th victory of the season.
While he did yield five walks in the ballgame and threw 59 of his 110 pitches for strikes, Masterson pitched at least six innings for the 24th time in his 27 starts.
The win already gives Cleveland (69-58) one more win then they had all of last season as the team moves to just 2 1/2 games in back of Oakland for the final American League wild card spot.
Offensively, the Tribe got the bats rolling in the third off Angels starter Jerome Williams (5-10, 4.80 ERA). Michael Bourn lead off the inning with a triple down the right-field line before Swisher slammed a hanging sinker to the seats in center for his 16th homer of the season.
Giving the Indians a 2-0 lead, the two-run blast also extended Swisher's hitting streak to seven straight. After staying relatively cold at the plate, Swish has started to heat up hitting .303 (10-for-33) with three homers and six RBI over his last seven games.
It was the only mistake of the game for Williams, who gave up just the two runs on six hits through 6 2/3 innings.
Cruising through the first five innings, Masterson shut down the dismal Halos offense to just two hits before surrendering a run in the sixth. After designated hitter Josh Hamilton singled to lead off the inning, catcher Hank Conger cut the Tribe lead to one on a RBI double down the right-field line.
Going 2-for-3 in the ballgame, Conger came up big for L.A. without two of their best bats in the lineup, finishing the series hitting .500 (4-for-8) against Indians pitching with a RBI.
Having already lost three-time N.L. MVP Albert Pujols for the rest of the season, the Angels were also without 2012 A.L. Rookie of the Year Mike Trout for the second-straight game, who nursing a right hamstring injury.
The run was just Anaheim's first over their last 18 innings of play.
Like it was Tuesday, the lone run was all the Angels would tally, as Tribe relievers Rich Hill and Cody Allen secured Masterson's win, recording 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
Cleveland added an insurance run in the ninth on a wild pitch by Halos reliever Dane De La Rosa before Chris Perez notched his 20th save, pitching an easy ninth.
The controversial Indians closer needs just 20 more saves to tie former Tribe ninth inning man Bob Wickman for the franchise career saves record. Wickman set the record back in 2006, recording 139 saves over his six seasons wearing Chief Wahoo.
The three runs on eight hits were enough to sweep the Angles in La-La Land for the first time since 1999. While starting pitching has continued to be one of the team's assets, Tribe relievers came up huge in the final two games of the series, striking out 18 in 11 scoreless innings.
Notes: Cleveland were able to sweep Los Angeles even with Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley going a combined 0-for-28 at the plate in the three-game series….Bourn collected three hits in a game Wednesday for the 13th time this season....With a double in the second inning, Jason Giambi needs just two more hits to reach 2,000 for his career.

Lululemon outlet online, save up to 80% off
Lululemon outlet online
"We went through a trend where everyone was wearing baggy clothes," said Madonna Grimes, group fitness director for the Hollywood Crunch outpost. "But now baggy is dead. (trend-setting yoga wear brand Lululemon online is leading the charge. Lululemon Athletica tripped over the cobra position and watched its stock fall like a bad warrior this week, after complaints that its yoga pants lost color and turned transparent. And all this after complaints last year that the colors on the pants bled onto shirts. In response, the company has pulled the pants from stores and is offering customer refunds.
Edged higher in its latest trading session, tracking the upward trend in the broad market. The stock closed 2.10 percent higher at $51.62 on above average volume of 1.46 million. Under Armour's shares have gained more than 8 percent this year, underperforming the broad market.
You'll find companies who pay to put their Lululemon crops in having a large group of other Lululemon coupons that are mailed to everyone's property inside a certain radius. Lululemon Athletica excels at the latter. Lululemon is a high-end athletic apparel company that empowers its community to interact and engage with others using the brand as a conduit.
Right now, I would guess that maybe 50% of my current workout clothes rotation is Lululemon. The rest is mainly "girly" colored tops that I pair with neutral (mostly black) bottoms. What do you work out in? Are you in the "whatever is on top in my drawer" group or are you partial to one brand or type? you like a specific brand, I'd love to know which ones.) What about matching? Do you feel like your clothes need to "match" when you work out?
Otherwise, Riddle wouldn't have got his award. tried a different tack. lululemon coupon. Tops: Go with whatever suits you so that people can visualize your personality. Suggestions are lightweight tops such as cute tank tops or spaghetti strap shirts (if your camp allows them), t-shirts, and oversized graphic t-shirts. This is summer, so get in the mentality of bright colors and infuse your own personal style into the mix.
Now if it seems like that last section was a bit snarky, I apologize. I've liked Lululemon outlet for a long time, and these sorts of setbacks always seem superficial. But that's not a fair analysis of what's going on here, and we should look deeper to see if there are real red flags being raised.
They did. On Sunday, their second day in her story, they found the Size 14s in the store. The store used the shoes when men wanted to try on pants. Kiribati. Coreia (Norte). Coreia (Sul). On March 2, 2012, Tampa yogis will experience the nirvana of lululemon without having to get a plane ticket or settling for the online store. For those unfamiliar with lululemon outlet online, it is a hip fitness apparel store aimed at anyone who loves to sweat: yogis, runners, bikers, gym goers, and so on. They focus on innovative design that is highly technical and functional.

Throughout life relationships become recycled. First we have our relationship with our parents who raise us, give us unconditional love (or are supposed to.) They are our source of love and esteem. Then we leave home and don't get that as much and so replace that with a romantic relationship with a significant other. In fact sometimes it's a little creepy how much I've felt like a mother to my boyfriends.
Anyway, so after marriage you have kids, and the love is renewed all over again. You get to know your kids and their different qualities, and grow to fall in love with them just as you did your husband or wife. It's these different relationships in our lives that give us meaning and fulfillment and happiness.
It seems that oddly enough, the way to make yourself happy, to give yourself a happy life…Is to focus more on someone else's. Are relationships just an escape from making your own life happy, worrying about yourself? Are they an easy way out? Or is that just the meaning of it all, what we're supposed to be doing, what would actually make us happy. Is the secret to really liking your life just not caring about it? Caring about someone else's life more? Because if you think about it, without these relationships in the equation, no amount of success would ever actually make us feel fulfilled.
But does one prevent us from having the motivation to do the other? If a relationship is already making us feel happy and meaningful and fulfilled, why bother chasing our dreams? When you're already perfectly happy, where does your motivation to do more come from?
Maybe life isn't just about making one or a few people happy. You have to be motivated to make a lot of people happy. You have to care about everyone which is a scary thing to try to do because the more people you reach out to, the more people that can hurt you, the more people you're depending on for your own self-worth, and esteem.
That's why being single is hard. Because you're not always getting that positive reassurance, that unconditional love to affirm that you are, in fact, a good person. And everyone needs to believe they are a good person.
I find being single to be empowering because it forces me to do that for myself, see the good in myself, really learn to love and embrace myself. I don't think that's egotistical, I think that's confidence. I believe in loving yourself, and being proud of yourself. But I don't think that means you have to think you're better than anyone else. That's the modest behavior I believe in. Know that you are great for so many reasons, but that other people are also great for other reasons too.

L.A. Lakers-Utah Jazz Game Three Recap: Three Things We LearnedMay 9, 2010
There aren't any words that will make Utah Jazz fans feel any better tonight. None.
Utah did everything right in Game Three, yet they still fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in front of a raucous home crowd.
The Jazz now face a historically insurmountable 0-3 deficit and are all but done for the 2009-10 NBA season.
On a night where the Utah bench provided a spark courtesy of Kyle Korver's 23 points (9-10 field goals), won the rebounding battle, and shot 45.5% from three point range, the veteran Lakers still found a way to escape with a gut-wrenching victory which saw 22 lead changes and eight ties.
In the end, it seemed that everything Utah could do, Los Angeles could do better.
Despite a colossal mistake by Ron Artest on an inbound pass with six seconds remaining (and a missed call by Joey Crawford), the Jazz were unable to pull out a win as Deron Williams' deep jumper rimmed out followed by Wesley Matthews' tip in being half an inch from falling in.
In NBA basketball, the better team almost always wins a seven-game series and similarly, in a game where both teams play at a high level, the better team usually gets the breaks that make the difference between winning and losing.
Did the Lakers play flawlessly? Certainly not.
Did they play good enough to beat the Jazz, who had their best game of the series in a must-win situation? Good enough by a point, and in the end, that's the difference between 3-0 and 2-1.
Kobe Bryant continued his string of outstanding performances, eclipsing the 30-point mark for the fourth straight game while amassing seven assists and four rebounds.
The Lakers overcame Andrew Bynum's unproductive 20 minutes (zero points, four rebounds) with a combination of Pau Gasol and Ron Artest, both hitting critical shots and grabbing important rebounds down the stretch.
Gasol finished with 14 points and 17 rebounds while Artest came out of his shooting slump to score 20 points, 4-7 from three point range.
Game Four in Utah will be an opportunity to close out the Jazz, and Bryant is usually exceptional in such situations. But those who know anything about Jerry Sloan coached team will tell you that Utah will not go down without a fight.
The Lakers' best chance at putting the series away and moving on to the Western Conference finals will be to get out ahead of the Jazz early and keep the foot on the gas, something they have struggled with throughout the playoffs.
But before we get to Game Four, let's take a look at three things we learned from Game Three:
1. Kobe Bryant's killer instinct is as good as ever.
A lot of doubt was building as Bryant looked mortal over the past couple of months. Even in the first round, with Kevin Durant blocking his shot late in the fourth quarter, people began to openly question whether the old veteran had what it took to close out games like he once did in the past.
Well, all questions have been answered...emphatically. Not only has Bryant hit big shot after big shot, but he has put his teammates in excellent positions to deliver.
Game Three was as great of an example as any, with Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest all hitting critical three-point baskets in the fourth quarter.
The scariest part for those who are waiting to see Kobe fall is that he seems to be perfecting the art of knowing when to attack, knowing when to pull back, and knowing when to be the Black Mamba.
It will be very important for the Lakers to close out the Jazz as soon as possible so that Bryant can take advantage of some time off, get some rest, and be ready to go for the final stretch of the playoffs.
2. Derek Fisher is a fierce competitor.
Think about how it must have felt for Fisher to have everyone assuming that Deron Williams would abuse him throughout the series. No one gave the veteran a chance, including myself.
But quietly, Fisher has had a very good series and held his own against the younger Williams...the point guard many are now anointing as the best in the game.
Fisher's statistics aren't eye-popping, but he has done an excellent job in guarding Williams while also hitting critical shots at different junctures in the game.
His leadership and hard-nosed play has been something the Lakers have fed off, and there is a reason that Phil Jackson has stuck with Fisher for so long: the guy is a winner and a competitor.
3. Go to the hole, Deron!
I understand that Deron Williams had been shooting well all night. That being said, with 4.4 seconds left, the home crowd on its feet, and the Lakers scared to foul, it was the perfect chance for Williams to catch the ball above the arc, drive through the lane and look to get a good shot off or draw a foul.
Instead, the young star pulled up for a deep jumper with Ron Artest's hand in his face.
There are certain players who are better off pulling up for jumpers in those situation, such as Kobe Bryant or Ray Allen.
Then there are those who need to drive and get to the hole: LeBron James, Manu Ginobili and yes, Deron Williams.
My money would have been on Williams either scoring on a floater or drawing a foul had he taken the ball to the rim in that situation.
Unfortunately for Jazz fans, it's too late to wonder what could have been.
But in my years of watching the game, I think it's always better to put the ball on that floor than take a deep shot and have no chance at a referee bailing you out.

Participation Steps Up for University's Walk Across Campus Program
Louis Maillet, a mechanic in the Boston College Electrical Shop, figured he would get a few benefits from taking part in the University's "Walk Across Campus" program.
"I thought it would be good for me, of course, but also interesting to see how far I walk every day," he said, "and that it would be fun to have a little friendly competition with the other people taking part in the program — just a little something to liven up your workday."
What Maillet didn't anticipate was how much participating in the two-month walking/activity campaign — organized by BC as part of its HEALTHY YOU employee health and wellness initiative — would influence other parts of his life.
"It made me more aware, more conscientious about walking in general," he explained. "For example, if I had to go pick up some materials or tools to do a job, in the past I would probably just drive the van there and back. But now, I walk it.
"Even at home, I started to find ways I could do more walking — instead of just opening the door and letting our dog out into the yard, we'd go on a walk together. It's been a great experience."
Maillet was among hundreds of BC employees who gathered at the Flynn Recreation Complex on June 7 to celebrate the end of the Walk Across Campus spring semester. The program began as an individual event several years ago through Campus Recreation and last fall was incorporated into HEALTHY YOU. Participants, who each receive a Fitbit pedometer to track their progress, form teams to provide one another with support and encouragement.
Almost 1,200 employees on 67 teams were involved in Walk Across Campus this spring; last fall, the numbers were 855 and 55.
"Walk Across Campus has been a success in so many ways," said Associate Vice President for Human Resources Robert Lewis at the June 7 celebration, as attendees lined up for their commemorative Walk Across Campus towels, dined on burgers (turkey and veggie burgers as well as hamburgers were available), salads and other food, and enjoyed ladder golf and other games.
"The benefits of walking and related activities — even for just a short time each day — are well-known, of course. But it seems the program goes beyond the physical benefits: People are developing a real sense of camaraderie — they see the Fitbit and have an instant connection — and that is healthy in and of itself."
Senior Information Security Analyst Jamie John agreed. "Working in IT means we're at our desks most every day, so obviously it's important to get up and out, and do some exercise. But I joined for the people aspect. It was a good opportunity to get to know other BC employees you probably wouldn't meet otherwise. It just helps make BC an even better place in which to work."
Lewis pointed to several statistics to underscore the impact and scope of Walk Across Campus at BC:
• Walk Across Campus spring 2013 participants took a combined 512,721,641 steps over the course of the program, 17 percent more than in the fall.
• Walkers collectively traveled 230,222.4 miles — equivalent to walking the circumference of the Earth almost 30 times, and nearly enough to reach the moon.
• Participants climbed 117,766 flights of stairs, which at 10 feet per flight equates to a height of about 1,916 miles — or the outer part of the Earth's atmosphere.
"More to the point, Walk Across Campus racked up 15,746,806 active minutes," said Lewis. "According to the American Heart Association, for every hour of regular vigorous exercise – like walking — adults may gain as many as two hours of life expectancy. According to our active minutes, we may have added 524,893 hours to our collected life expectancy."

A Married Women: Mrs. Joseph Contreras! Yes, I got married before I finished college but, I was the happiest graduate around!
Then we wanted babies! Joseph remembers me saying, "I want a baby." I deny it now, but I guess, I really wanted to start having a family then.
It was after much prayer and after much desiring to be back to my healthy pre- baby self, that I embarked on my fitness journey. I much prefer to call it a fitness journey as oppose to a diet. Diets change, and that was my problem. My body kept changing. I needed something permanent, long term. That is why I am calling it my fitness journey for life.
This is how my Fitness Journey began. It was a prayer at the time. Then right at that time I found some friends who were starting to lose weight too. Some of them were bloggy friends I had never met before, but I began to realize I needed this encouragement.
9 months into my fitness journey -
I have gained a bit back, but my ultimate goal is 122. I just want to say I got back down to my college weight. I see it possible this time around. Also, I see how hard it is to maintain. I need all your encouragement.

This week's heat wave will not only be uncomfortable — it could be dangerous to your health.
Excessive heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the U.S., causing on average more deaths annually than floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning combined, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures in the 90s along with high dew points are prompting a weather service heat advisory and warnings from health officials.
At St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul, emergency room physician Dr. Allen Autrey said he expects to see an influx of people with heat-related problems.
At particular risk are the very young and very old, who may not be able to remove themselves from hot environments, he said.
"What you don't want to do is be in a situation where you have to stay in the heat," said Autrey.
To avoid heat-related illness, he said, stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and also take in some salt, like potato chips.
People can experience a gradation of heat diseases and should be on the lookout for symptoms.
The mildest form is heat cramps — which usually occur in muscles being exercised, often in the lower extremities. That's sometimes caused by people drinking plain water and not taking in any salt, Autrey said.
Heat exhaustion can be more serious. Body temperature is typically 100 degrees to 104 degrees, and symptoms may include headache, fatigue, weakness and profuse perspiration.
A fast pulse, agitation, dehydration, nausea and vomiting are also possible.
"That's sort of your first tier of getting in trouble with heat," Autrey said.
Heat stroke — which can be fatal — occurs at a body temperature of 105 degrees. Symptoms include confusion, lethargy and coma.
"If someone's not behaving right and becoming confused, one of the first things that should be done is to check their core temperature," Autrey said. "Persistent … or severe symptoms of any kind require a 911 call."
Other possible heat stroke symptoms include a rapid pulse, lower blood pressure, an irregular heart rhythm, fast breathing, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea.
"Often times the patient's skin will become dry and they won't be sweating — that's a marker for heat stroke as well," Autrey said.
Heat stroke results in muscle tissue breakdown and kidney failure. It can also cause liver problems.
People who feel ill from the heat should be evaluated, but that may not be necessary if they're able to rapidly reduce their symptoms, Autrey said.
In addition to getting out of the heat and hydrating, he suggests you start the cooling process by covering up with a wet sheet or blanket. Ultimately, you want to move air over the skin.
"Spraying someone with water and then using a fan to blow air over them is one of the best ways to reduce body temperature," Autrey said.

text: Colleagues, Several years ago I began a study with a cognitive science colleague on how novices, intermediates, and experts solve life cycle and photosynthesis problems. As we were writing up our findings ,we realized that it would be very helpful to have experts rate the level of difficulty of the 3 questions below for a beginning undergraduate who has only had a basic introduction to plant biology. I realize that intro courses vary widely, what I'm more interested in is your sense of how hard the questions would be for beginning college student who is not an expert in biology, but has at least heard of the concepts addressed in the question. There are three spaces below to rank the question 1-10 where 10 is the highest level of difficulty and 1 is the least. Thanks in advance to those of you who are willing to help out. Susan Plant Biology Questions 1) A fern sporophyte has 2 alleles, B and b, of a gene that affects production of a purple, non-photosynthetic pigment. Diagram what happens to the alleles in the production of spores, gametophytes, and gametes. Diagram: Rated difficulty (1-10) _____________ 2) List how photosynthesis and respiration are alike and how they differ. Rated difficulty (1-10) _____________ 3) Draw a simple diagram (not an equation) of photosynthesis. On your diagram, indicate what would happen if: a) Levels of CO2 are very low. b) An herbicide blocks electron transport. c) All available light is green.

The Provincial Police Director in Caraga sought the help of government agencies and experts in hunting down the 23-foot long crocodile that killed a10 year old girl.
If you remember my previous post, a 10 yr. old girl was killed by a crocodile when she and her classmate, actually a cousin were on their way to their floating school and the crocodile bumped their boat, causing it to capsize. The other girl was rescued by a man in another boat. The victim's name is Rowena Romano. She was found after 3 days floating at
On Feb. 9, 2009, one man was also attacked, allegedly by the same crocodile and supposedly bit the man's right leg but he was able to get away after hacking at the crocodile's left eye.
The mayor of the said town ordered the police authorities to get the crocodile alive.

Casa Mia - ristorante/cucina Italiana Lillestrøm Reviews
20 reviews
Typical Italian :) Aug 02, 2011
A newly opened Italian restaurant, in an old wooden house in Lillestrøm. They've decorated the inside like a warm and cozy rustic house, with a fireplace on both floors, warm colours, flowers in the windows and nice tables.
The staff is very welcoming and always smiling. They are good at recommending wine with the food.
The food is the best italian I've eaten. Fresh pasta, rich creamy sauces, tender meat, thick slices of parmaham (and lots of it on the pizza), lots of delish vegetables and yummie deserts.
The pasta with seafood is amazing and the pizza is like italian pizza is supposed to be.
It's possible to order take-away. If one want to sit in, it's best to book a table. They also have tables outside.

Freezing temperatures and blackened piles of snow along the Chicago streets were the backdrop to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting on February 13–17.
Alongside the thousands of scientists, journalists, and other professionals, I was there mostly to learn about the latest technology and trends in science communications, but was pleased to discover that the need for better communication was a theme throughout this science conference, even in sessions that had little to do with communications per se.
Evolving Access to Science and its News
Highlighted in the science communication seminars were differences in how today's audiences receive information and how changing technology plays into that. In the symposium, "Communicating Science: Engaging with Journalists," Carl Zimmer, science writer at the New York Times, talked about how scientists are now able to post their papers directly to field-specific archive sites, which, rather than being restricted to small and specific audiences, are available for anyone to see not only the paper but the subsequent comments and discussion. This represents a huge change from the older model for scientific journal articles, which are critiqued by other scientists in that discipline ("peer reviewed") before being published, instead of after.
The upside of this, according to Zimmer, is that it is easier for journalists to find information on new developments from papers on these "pre-print servers." The downside is the possibility that the information is not yet valid to report. David Baron, another panelist and science editor for PRI's "The World" radio podcast, sees a bigger role for science foundations as alternative sources for finding objective information.
Robert Lee Hotz, science writer at the Wall Street Journal, talked about the span of what he calls the "digital age," starting with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak introducing the Apple II computer in 1977, to the advent of 24/7 news in 1987, to the mass availability of free news via the Internet at present. He pointed out however, that there are roughly the same amount of professional science journalists in this country now as then—40,000, a fact which indicates to him that despite increased availability of news sources, "more and more people are getting less." At the same time as these changes in coverage are happening at traditional media, many people have stopped going to traditional media for news. This trend has created opportunities for alternative science news models, demonstrated by the creation of 172 non-profit online news sites since 1980, including ProPublica, the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy newsletter, and InsideClimateNews.
David Baron advocates a storytelling approach to communicating about science issues, as audiences are more likely to be engaged longer by a narrative style. He cited a recent episode about climate change on the radio program This American Life. Instead of just presenting facts and figures, the narrative follows Nolan Duskin, state climatologist of Colorado, as he talks with ranchers at a farm conference to illustrate the challenges of climate change in the context of everyday life.
Paula Apsell, Senior Executive Producer of NOVA at WGBH Boston, sees more choices on TV but less science now than in the past, and describes the NOVA of today as not just a popular science TV series but a broader media brand extending online. The majority of NOVA consumers are going to the online archives from search. This is consistent with the current expectation for media to be on more platforms all the time. The challenge, according to Apsell, is to alter the style to these other platforms without "dumbing down" the substance. With so much information now available on the Web, there are also increased opportunities for error. As a result, Apsell emphasized the need for skepticism when researching science stories and rigorous cross-checking.
MASHing Science with Dating
From my perspective as a science communicator, the highlight of the conference was "Getting Beyond a Blind Date with Science," a plenary session presented by Alan Alda, actor and the director of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University in New York. The Center grew out of Alda's interest in science and 12 years of experience hosting the show Scientific American Frontiers on PBS, which he calls "the best thing I ever did in front of a camera." Alda is also well known for his role as Captain Pierce in the 1970s TV series M*A*S*H (1972-1983). However, his work on Scientific American Frontiers convinced him that while many researchers have fascinating stories to tell, they are deeply involved in the complexities of their work, which can inhibit their ability to effectively communicate to non-scientists.
He uses the phrase "curse of knowledge" to describe "when you know something so well that you forget what it is like to not know it." Alda compares the stages of a blind date to the steps in building a relationship with the audience in order to communicate science effectively. When a couple first meets, there is a deficit of trust before they begin to know one another. In the attraction stage, body language and tone are more important than language. The next stage, infatuation, incorporates emotion and memory. Finally, commitment is the stage where both parties are listening to and understanding each other.
He asks his scientist students to keep focusing on what it is about their work that they wish people could understand clearly. They do improvisation to learn to tell their stories in a more personal and engaging way, using emotion to create a memory.
Science Needs to Get Social
On my last day at the conference I attended a multidisciplinary presentation about satisfying food demands for the over 9 billion people expected to inhabit the Earth by 2050—and how we will accomplish this despite climate change, land degradation, and loss of environmental resources. The panel discussion was moderated by Dr. Kathy Sullivan, Acting NOAA Administrator.
During the discussion, panelist Dr. Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University underscored the need for societal understanding of these growing challenges. He emphasized that this problem isn't a new one: scientists have been warning about global resource shortages in the face of a growing population, climate change, and depleted resources since the 1960s. The problem, he says, is that people still do not understand the implications of these issues for the future and he predicts that social science will need to play a much larger role if society is to take the actions necessary to alleviate these growing pressures on our planet

If I had written a to-do list yesterday it might have read: photograph some pretty flowers, pick some of those flowers, take pictures of self with said flowers. Because that was pretty much my day. The shirt and shorts are both charity shop finds, so this outfit maybe cost £3.00 at most. The flowers were free.
You can spot my doggy Molly in the background here, she wanted in on the action.
I hope the sun has been shining where you are!

"Fighter of the Decade" Manny Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz says he will discuss Pacquiao's next fight with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum when they meet in Macau for Nonito "The Filipino Flash' Donaire's title fight against WBA champion Simpiwe Vetyeka on May 31.
Koncz told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that both Pacquiao and he didn't watch the Juan Menuel Marquez-Mike "Mile High" Alvarado fight telecast by ABS-CBN Sports and on SkyCable as they were in church but indicated they would probably watch the replay.
The adviser said he didn't think Marquez is an exciting proposition for Pacquiao claiming that "Manny will beat him every day" and dismissed the crushing 6th round knockout in December 2012 as the result of Pacquiao "getting careless."
In a post fight interview with Marquez after he won a unanimous twelve round decision over Alvarado which began with Alvarado hardly doing anything until the middle rounds when both men began to trade big shots with Marquez dropping Alvarado with a devastating right hand in the 8th round that almost sent him through the ropes, HBO Sports Larry Merchant said it reminded him of how Pacquiao got careless and was knocked out by the Mexican legend.
Asked about a possible fifth fight with Pacquiao which Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has said would take place in Macau on November 16, Marquez said he was "not thinking" about a fifth fight with Pacquiao and wanted to go home and rest and spend time with his family.
Marquez said "I'm not making a decision on Pacquiao right now. I felt great in the fight and I know I did a great job but let me see how I feel in a couple of weeks. I am now making a decision on a Pacquiao fight right away. I'm gonna rest and think about it."
Marquez was impressive, demonstrating hand-speed and power and looking far fresher than the 40 year old who looked his age when he lost a split decision to then WBO welterweight champion Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley who in turn was totally out-boxed by Pacquiao in a rematch in which the eight division world champion regained his title which he lost in a universally criticized split decision in June 2012.
Although Marquez got caught with a big Alvarado right hand that dropped him in round nine he was never in danger of losing and put on a clinic in the ring of the newly refurbished, historic Forum in Inglewood, California before a predominantly cheering crowd of Mexicans among the 12,090 fans at the venue which last hosted a boxing event in 2001.
All three judges, Robert Byrd 119-108 , Max DeLuca 117-109 and Julie Lederman also 117-109 scored the fight for Marquez.

An 18-year-old woman allegedly took out a knife and threatened to kill employees at a mall when the police were called on Tuesday.
Genele Laird, of Madison, Wisconsin, told a Taco Bell employee at the East Towne Mall that her phone had been stolen, according to a police report. She then allegedly took out a knife and started threatening people.
When security confronted Laird, she refused to leave and made numerous threats to kill the security staff.
When officers arrived a struggle ensued.
The woman then turns around and spits at the officer, and he says, "She spat in my eye," before taking out a taser and holding it to her stomach and then leg repeatedly while she screams, eventually ceasing to struggle while they hold her down and finish handcuffing her.
The officer yells at her, "Do not spit at me again."
"I'll bite you, I'll f—ing bite you," she says.
"If you bite me, I'll tase you again," he responds.
She tells the officers that she can't breathe and that "if I die, it's on you," but her speech did not sound impaired.
Laird was taken to the jail on charges of disorderly conduct while armed, resisting police (causing injury), battery to a police officer and discharging bodily fluids.
Officers say they did recover the knife.
Family members now what the charges against the woman dropped.
Those charges include disorderly conduct while armed, resisting police (causing injury), battery to a police officer and discharging bodily fluids.
"I'm convinced based on what I've heard tonight that I think there could be some restorative justice program put in place but I don't think this young lady should go to jail," says Boys and Girls Club President and CEO Michael Johnson.
Protests have been taking place at the mall with demonstrators holding banners that said "Hands Off Black Women."

Let's get this settled right out of the gate: Julian Casablancas, frontman of the New York neo-garage band the Strokes, has not moved to L.A.
"Not officially," he says, nursing a Coke at Silver Lake's Red Lion Tavern. "But I'm here for like two months, and I've gotta say, man -- I'm starting to kind of get sold on it."
The singer's current West Coast stay isn't his first; he spent several months here last year working with producer Jason Lader on his solo debut, "Phrazes for the Young." That hits stores Tuesday, and now Casablancas and his wife are renting a place in Silver Lake as he launches a November residency at the Downtown Palace Theatre.
Casablancas fingers the usual suspects for his pro-L.A. attitude. ("I didn't realize weather was such a big thing," he says.) But he also singles out a feeling of newness he says he doesn't get from New York.
