ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. — With almost all official convention business canceled for the day, California delegates used their free 24 hours to relax, sleep in, see the sites and take in some of the unofficial programming offered by Republican supporters.
Delores Chavez Harmes, an alternate delegate from San Diego, mixed work and play – she attended a breakfast speech by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and a screening of the conservative film "2016: Obama's America." But she also stopped for a neon-green crème de menthe cocktail in the lobby of the Tradewinds resort and planned to head to the historic pink Don CeSar Hotel down the road.
"We're going to have some drinks and smoke some cigars," said the 53-year-old accountant, who worked on Latino outreach for failed 2010 gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman and Senate candidate Carly Fiorina.
She said she appreciated weather that is all but unknown in California and had no qualms about the shortened schedule. "The hurricane we had was awesome. It's been no big deal," Chavez Harmes said. "We can get everything done in three days."

HIGHLAND — A second grade boy is recovering after he severed a portion of his thumb Wednesday afternoon while playing with a tetherball, San Bernardino Unified School District officials said.
The boy, who attends Bonnie Oehl Elementary School at 2525 Palm Ave. in Highland, was playing with the tetherball by himself after school as his parent was attending a report card conference, said Linda Bardere, spokeswoman for the SBUSD.
"The student was on the playground playing tetherball by himself and, unfortunately, the rope for the tetherball got tangled around his thumb. He then fell, and when he fell, a portion of his thumb did get severed," Bardere said.
Paramedics transported the child to Loma Linda University Medical Center where physicians worked to repair the damage. It was unclear if doctors were able to reattach the portion of the boy's thumb.

Reviewed by Clara M. (age 17)
the Penelopiad illustration will appear here.
Atwood takes the traditional tale of Odysseus's adventure and turns it on its head. While the fundamental style is familiar - readers will easily recognize the "fractured fairytale" style that has become so popular recently - Atwood takes a truly creative take on the Odyssey. The Penelopiad was presented from two points of view, that of Penelope and that of her maids. Penelope tells her story. The maids interpose with their own. At the end of the Odyssey the maids are hanged; Atwood explored why they were hanged and Penelope's reaction. Atwood is often described as a realistic feminist. Her characters are believable because they are flawed: Penelope is one excellent example. As she chronicles her childhood, her conflict with her cousin, Helen, and her married life, readers are introduced to the "real" ancient Greece, instead of the idealized one we are so familiar with. Told in counterpoint with the maids, a tale of betrayal, vengeance, and thwarted social revolution is woven against the backdrop of the Trojan War.
The Penelopiad was thought-provoking. We are accustomed to having our heroes clear-cut: it is rarely a mystery of whether they are "good" or "bad". Penelope is much more enigmatic. She is passive: she is ruled, first by her father, then by Odyseus's old nurse. Even so, her witty commentary and insights provide readers with a clear, although often slightly sardonic, view of the Trojan War and her husband, Odysseus. She claims to love her maids, slaves she raised from childhood, but is unable to prevent their death. After the death, the maids vow to haunt Odysseus for eternity: readers might wonder whether he is as much the guilty party as Penelope is. Atwood refuses to take a definite position on the character's actions; although Penelope is the narrator of the story, in the end, her decisions and reactions are as enigmatic as before. The alternating viewpoints - from Penelope's first-person narrative to the maid's, which is told through song and poetry - makes the tale even more interesting, as well as illustrating the fundamental differences between Penelope and her maids. Penelope's character is reminiscent of Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: she is flawed, passionate, but at the same time, curiously passive and willing to submit to fate. The Penelopiad made me ponder the difference between good and evil people: Penelope stood by while Odysseus hung her maids; does that make her evil? Was Odysseus, for hanging them? The Penelopiad was both frustrating and intriguing: I wanted to slap Penelope and give her a lollipop and tell her that everything would be all right at the same time.
The Penelopiad is recommended for readers old enough to appreciate Greek mythology and to understand the subject matter. Those interested should be wary; the book occasionally veers onto sensitive and mature topics. Readers will be attracted to Atwood's characterization of Penelope and Odysseus, as well as her dry humor and sense of irony. Readers familiar with the Odyssey will enjoy Atwood's wry satire of its major themes. Above all, an excellent read.

You can't argue with a touch of luxury, even if it is something like your sunscreen.
I am personally a fan of La Mer – I love their foundation, their lipbalm, their face cream. They work well for me. But without a doubt its pricey stuff!
They say about Creme De La Mer's The SPF UV Protecting Fluid with an SPF of 30:
Tourmaline and Malachite help absorb light energy, turning it into green light, and helps enhance anti-oxidant activity. This helps prevent the appearance of skin discolouration and unevenness.
Airlight to the touch, this transparent fluid formula is an ideal makeup primer.
You get 40ml with this – its pretty compact which makes it easy to carry around in my handbag:
Once again its the type of liquid sunscreen that needs a good shake otherwise it separates.
It smells quite fresh although its not a clear fragrance – it reminds me of the other Skincare products I have from La Mer…
Its a fairly runny texture but it sinks into the skin fine. Unlike the Green Coffee Sunscreen I reviewed yesterday I didn't notice any sticky residue or a whitish cast on my face.
Therefore I am quite happy to wear this on my face as a primer – the finish is semi matte.
5 mins after on my hand – its practically invisible.
Texture: 4/5
Finish: 4/5
Protection: 4/5
Price: 2/5 – Its £50 for 40ml!
I have a massive soft spot for this SPF – its one of the best liquid based sunscreens I have used but the price is extremely high. Can you get something as good for less than £50 – yes!
But do I think this feels great on my face and this is the kind of thing I will save just for my face (due to the cost). Its pretty much invisible when applied which I like, I like matching skincare.

Oilers sign Alexandre Giroux to 1-way contract
The Oilers signed 29-year old center Alexandre Giroux to a one-way contract. No term/salary details are available at this point. However, the belief in the hockey world is that Giroux is a career AHLer.
Giroux was a big part of a winning culture in Hershey. He led the AHL in goals 2 years in a row (60 in 2008/09 and 50 in 2009/10). He also led the AHL in points in 2008/09 and was second in points in 2009/10 (behind teammate Keith Aucoin). All this with only 69 games played in each of the seasons. He was also a playoff performer, leading the league in goals and points in both years, and helping take Hershey to two consecutive Calder Cup wins.
Unfortunately, this success has not translated to the NHL level. He has Continue reading 'Oilers sign Alexandre Giroux to 1-way contract'»

Blick's opaque, matte-surface acrylics are water-based, quick-drying, and permanent, yet non-toxic and safe for everyday use. Formulated with the highest quality pigments in an exceptional range of colors. 2 oz plastic bottles.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
organic, naphthol AS
Pigment PR170 is a bright deep red with bluish undertones. It has an average drying time. It has two crystaline forms that differ significantly in opacity. The more transparent form (F5RK) tends to be more bluish and is less lightfast.
The lightfastness and weatherfastness of Pigment PR170 varies, depending on the application and the crystaline form. The opaque form (F3RK) has very good lightfastness, and is more weather resistant. The transparent form (F5RK) has lightfastness that is considered acceptable in pure applications, but it fades more in tints. Neither form is considered suitable for exterior use.
Naphthol Reds are not considered toxic. They may cause eye, skin, or respiratory irritation. Contact with dry pigment should be avoided.
Naphthol pigments are actually dyes that are "laked" to form pigments. First developed by the German chemical company Hoechst A.G. before World War I, their use in artist paints began in the 1920s. Pigment Red PR170 is a Naphthol AS pigment, chemically related to the diarylide yellow pigments. The Naphthol AS pigments comprise a range of reds. They are used in plastics, textiles, and printing inks.
Naphthal, Naphthol Bordeaux, Naphthol Carbamide, Naphthol Carmine, Permanent Carmine, Naphthol Crimson, Permanent Red, Permanent Red F3RK (more opaque), Permanent Red F5RK (more transparent).
organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent and powerful bluish red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing color and is one of the bluest of the Quinacridone colors. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Magenta offers very good lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolor form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of "fair" under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments in general have more problems with lightfastness than any other range of colors. PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four color) process printing because it offers a better tradeoff between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye that was first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard color name for a deep, violet red. Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. PR122 has become particularly popular in the formulation of Magenta for CMYK process printing.

tonight, I was craving something chocolate. literal thought process: "I want something chocolaty. But I know I don't have anything. I could get out of my PJs and grab something from the convenience store. Nah. Hmm, let me go to the kitchen and see what's in my cabinet. Cocoa powder. (reads ingredients listed for chocolate cake) No milk. Hmm…(searches cabinet for more chocolate products. Finds Baker's chocolate, the unsweetened little squares. Reads back of box. Recipe for Soft and Chewy Chocolate Drops.) Hmm…I seem to have all of these ingredients. Oh, wait…FOUR chocolate squares?! (dumps out contents of box) Oh, I have TWO. Easy! I'll just cut the recipe in half. (re-reads recipe.) It calls for three eggs. Oh well, I'll figure out what half an egg is." Long story short…(weird expression, by the way.) I made the cookies on the back of the Baker's box. Really easy and quick. I omitted the glaze, because I did not have any cool whip. But no worries, these cookies are good with out it, and as the title of the recipe says, they are soft and chewy. Oh, and they took care of my chocolate craving, no problem.
Soft & Chewy Chocolate Drops
I will post the whole recipe, the one that is on the back of the box, even though when you grab your box, you can just read it from there. :o)
4 squares (4 oz) unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2-1/2 cups flour
350º oven. My spoonful made about 2 dozen cookies.
Microwave chocolate and butter until butter is melted. Stir in chocolate until chocolate is melted. Add sugar. Mix well. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, mix well. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or until dough is easier to handle. *I did not do this, and found the dough easy enough to scoop right away.* Bake 8 minutes, or until set.
That's it. Try not to eat all of them as soon as they come out of the oven.
Just a little p.s/preview: tomorrow night's baking adventure during movie night might be Better Than Brownie Cookies, Part 2, this time with peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips, instead of chocolate chips. Should be interesting, I like playing around with flavors. We'll be bringing them to break-fast on Monday. That also means no post for Monday. Sorry, I am already not living up to my Monday/Thursday regular schedule. Oh well. Also, Friday night, or Saturday morning, we might be making pumpkin pie, or using the leftover pie filling for some dessert to share with the crew that is coming over for dinner on Saturday night. Keep coming back for more updates regarding these baking adventures!

Bedbugs (Cimex lectularius) are tiny flat brown insects about 5 mm long. They do not fly or jump. But like the rhyme, they do bite! They are most active at night and prefer the bedroom where they can find a sleeping host. They were a common nuisance in the United States until the mid 1900's when powerful pesticides like DDT were introduced. But when those pesticides were banned in 1972, bedbugs began a quiet resurgence. Travel abroad is also more common which gives them plenty of opportunity to hitchhike back to the U.S. from locations around the world, hidden in luggage, clothing, pillows, briefcases, backpacks, purses, boxes and other belongings. They are known to survive without a "blood meal" for a year or more.
No, bedbugs are primarily a nuisance. Itchy "bug bites" are usually the only manifestation of their presence. Hydrocortisone or Benadryl is usually the only treatment needed, if any.
They are nocturnal feeders which tend to bite their hosts at night, classically in a cluster of 3 bites referred to as "breakfast, lunch, and dinner". Most of the time, however, the bites appear as red itchy bumps similar to any other bug bite. Thus, looking at the appearance of the bite is seldom a way to diagnose this pest.
Yes, they tend to hide in mattresses (tufting, under seam tape on the edges), box springs, bed frames, floor cracks, wood trim around windows and floors, furniture upholstery, peeling wallpaper, and other objects adjacent to the bed. Dark brown reddish spots can sometimes be found on the bed linens or mattress. However, many other kinds of small bugs are frequently mistaken to be bedbugs so it is best to have them identified by an experienced exterminator.
DO contact your RA/hall director or landlord and let them know of your concern so that they can call an exterminator to investigate the possibility thoroughly.
DO NOT move to your friend's room/apartment, motel, or other residence. The bedbugs will likely accompany you and your belongings, resulting in spreading the pests to your friends and family. They will not thank you for this! Moving items out of the bedroom will also spread the pest to the other rooms in your residence. Refrain from any of these responses until the exterminator has a chance to confirm the bedbugs presence. Then follow the exterminator's instructions regarding beds, clothing, furniture, and other items in the room.
DO NOT attempt to treat your bed, bedroom, or anything else with store bought pesticides. The bugs need to be identified by an expert and treated by a competent exterminator.
Used furniture, particularly mattresses, bed frames, and upholstered furniture pose the greatest risk of harboring these pests. Think carefully before acquiring these items. Even new furniture may become exposed and contaminated with bedbugs if transported in an infested vehicle.
Hotels are a common place to pick up these hitchhikers, regardless of the quality of the establishment.

Since almost the beginning of the project we received requests for to provide an API. However the last months, specially after reaching the first million of photos, the number of requests rocketed and we realized we should do it. Now Panoramio API is ready.
In any site where location matters photos from Panoramio can help. For example, photos can illustrate the area around a hotel in a reservations website or show how it looks the neigbourghood where a house is located in a real estate site. What is makes photos published by the community of Panoramio so useful is their high quality and representativeness. Panoramio API allows you to select only a selection of the photos (popular tab) or all them.
While we were preparing the API page, some sites already integrated Panoramio photos in their sites. They are great examples of what it can be done with Panoramio API.
- Gpsies.com was the first site that used the API to illustrate its tracks, like this one around the lake Cospudener in Leipzig, Germany (check "Pictures of Panoramio" on the right-bar).
- Joost Schreve from Everytrail.com made a great use of the API for this GPS Travel Communiy. Now while watching the Training route in Westerpark you can see how Amsterdam channels look like.
- Also Jordi L. Ramot from Wikiloc, the winner of the mash-up contest, made the integration in few hours just after knowing about the API. In Wikiloc you can enjoy the beautiful landscape while watching Porcupine Rim track by bike in Moab (Utah).
In the Panoramio API page we included some other examples, coding, explanations and more information.

Preventing Fires at the Gas Pump
Mixing flammable liquids and gas with improper wiring can create the potential for a dangerous situation.
Imagine how terrible it would be if you were pumping gas in your company truck or car and the gas dispensing station erupted into a ball of fire. Although it rarely happens, there are documented cases of this occurring across the country. A primary goal of the requirements of Art. 514, Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities, is to prevent just such a situation from happening.
A key question that arises in applying the requirements of Art. 514 is, What is a motor fuel dispensing facility? Sec. 514.2 defines it as a location where gasoline or other volatile flammable liquids or liquefied flammable gases are transferred to the fuel tanks or auxiliary fuel tanks of self-propelled vehicles, such as passenger vehicles and utility trucks, or approved containers (Fig. 1). However, the entire facility isn't subject to the rules of Art. 514 just because it's equipped with a fuel dispensing station. The FPN under 514.2 explains what you need to do about the other areas within the facility.
Classified or not? Where the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) can satisfactorily determine that flammable liquids with a flash point below 38°C (100°F) won't be handled, the location need not be classified. Gasoline has a flashpoint below this limit, so its presence requires the area to be classified [514.3(A)].
Diesel fuel is considered combustible, not flammable. Therefore, a diesel dispensing area is unclassified, and associated electrical equipment and wiring need not comply with the requirements of Chapter 5. But it's common to wire diesel fuel dispensers adjacent to gasoline dispensers. If conduit for the diesel dispenser passes through the Class I, Div. 1 or 2 areas around the gasoline dispenser, the wiring methods and sealing requirements in Art. 501 apply (Fig. 2).
There are several other rules to bear in mind when determining if a motor fuel dispensing facility is classified:
You must apply Table 514.3(B)(1) to delineate and classify motor fuel dispensing facilities.
A Class I, Div. 1 or 2 area doesn't extend beyond an unpierced wall, roof, or other solid barrier [514.3(B)(1)].
Raceways installed underground below a Class I, Div. 1 or 2 location are considered to be in a Class I, Div. 1 location to the point of emergence above grade (514.8).
Sales or storage rooms are unclassified if these rooms don't open to a Class I, Div. 1 location. However, they're considered Class I, Div. 1 if they open to a Class I, Div. 1 location.
When you install electric equipment and wiring within a Class I, Div. 1 or 2 location, as defined in Table 514.3(B)(1), you must do so per the installation requirements in Chapters 1 through 4 and Art. 500 and 501. For this reason, you must use threaded rigid metal conduit (RMC) or threaded intermediate metallic conduit (IMC) for fixed wiring. But if you're installing the wiring underground, you can use rigid nonmetallic conduit (RNC), in accordance with 514.8.
Per 514.7, you must install wiring above a Class I, Div. 1 or 2 location, as defined in Table 514.3(B)(1), in a raceway or inside a cable that meets the requirements of 511.7(A)(1). Fixed lighting above travel lanes or exposed to physical damage must be located at least 12 ft above floor level unless the luminaire is totally enclosed or constructed to prevent sparks or hot metal particles from escaping [511.7(B)] (Fig. 3).
Electrical wiring installed underground, below the surface of a Class I, Div. 1 or 2 location, as defined in Table 514.3(B)(1), is Class I, Division 1 to the point of emergence above grade (514.8). You must install underground wiring in threaded RMC or IMC, but you can use RNC underground below a Class I, Div. 1 or 2 location if the raceway is buried under at least 2 ft of cover. Otherwise, you have to use threaded RMC or IMC for the last 2 ft of the underground run to emergence, or to the point of connection to an aboveground raceway (Fig. 4).
The raceway seal carries its own set of requirements, depending on its location (514.9):
You must install a listed raceway seal in each conduit run entering or leaving a dispenser. It has to be the first fitting after the conduit emerges from the earth or concrete.
You must install a listed raceway seal in each conduit run that leaves a Class I, Div. 1 or 2 location [501.5(A)(4) or 501.5(B)(2)]. The NEC doesn't allow you to use unions, couplings, boxes, or fittings other than explosionproof reducers between the seal fitting and the point where the conduit leaves the Class I area (Fig. 5).
The raceway seal must be accessible and can't contain splices [501.5(C)]. The total conductor area can't exceed 25% of the cross-sectional area of rigid metal conduit unless the seal fitting is approved for 40% fill.
Disconnects and controls.
Disconnects for dispensing stations need to allow for rapid response to hose breakage or other events that creates a fuel-related fire or explosion hazard (514.11):
Each circuit leading to or through a dispenser, including equipment for remote pumping systems, must have a clearly identified and readily accessible switch located remote from the dispenser to disconnect simultaneously all conductors of the circuit, including the grounded neutral conductor. You can't use single-pole breakers with handle ties.
The dispenser disconnect at an attended self-service station must be located no more than 100 ft from the dispenser and at a location acceptable to the AHJ.
The dispenser disconnect at an unattended self-service station must be located more than 20 ft and less than 100 ft from the dispensers and at a location acceptable to the AHJ. You must install additional emergency controls on each group of dispensers or the outdoor equipment used to control the dispensers to shut off all power to all dispensing equipment at the station.
Remote pump control wiring for dispensers must be isolated to prevent electrical feedback. This means dispenser pump control wiring can't supply more than one dispenser because it could cause electrical feedback when another dispenser is in operation (514.13).
The goal of grounding is to eliminate the potential for current flow between metal objects or between metal objects and ground and to prevent flashovers and arcing.
You must bond all raceway terminations between the hazardous classified location and the service or separately derived system disconnect to the enclosure (514.16). It's acceptable to use a threaded conduit entry, bushing jumper, or bonding locknut. You can't use a locknut or double locknut as the means of bonding of the raceway terminations [501.16(A)].
You can use setscrew and compression couplings and connectors for electrical metallic tubing, IMC, or RMC installed in an unclassified area, provided the circuit doesn't pass through, or is part of, any circuit within a hazardous classified location.
A key purpose of the requirements of Art. 514 is to prevent undesired or catastrophic ignition of flammable gases or liquids at fuel dispensing stations. By following its requirements, you're isolating ignition sources through proper sealing and preventing sparks through proper grounding. You're also providing for a safe, fast, and reliable means of interrupting power to the dispensing station if the unthinkable happens.

Top 10 albums of 2012 critics' picks: Gregory Adams
The top two artists on my list this year are mix-tape graduates, so I'm hoping the hours I spend digging for gold on freebie digital dumping grounds like DatPiff and Bandcamp will point to some major players for 2013.
Kendrick Lamar
good kid, m.A.A.d. city
The autobiographical story arc of falling in with the wrong crowd suits the prodigious rapper's multifaceted flow, which ranges from cocky and confident to panicked to reflective. The beatwork ebbs and shifts accordingly, offering a seamless blend of old-school Compton hip-hop, Beach House and Janet Jackson samples, and a majestic Just Blaze–produced boom-bap finale that serves as the official coronation of King Kendrick Lamar.
Frank Ocean
Channel Orange
Whether you focus on the game-changing sexual politics behind Ocean's breakthrough LP, or on how the singer swapped out the heavy sampling of his Nostalgia, Ultra mix tape in favour of swooning, organic neo-soul ("Sweet Life") and sly, pop-rock perfection ("Lost"), Channel Orange is an insanely impressive affair.
U.S. Girls
Meghan Remy spit-shined her U.S. Girls project for GEM, but rather than dilute the dolled-up-but-dirty guitar-glam tracks ("Slim Baby"), witchy synth processions ("Rosemary"), or spectral tape manipulations ("Curves"), the extra studio sheen just made her latest song cycle all the more memorable.
The dum-dum simplicity of the Toronto trio's fuzzed-out grunge-pop bangers—prime examples including "Get Off" and "Knife in the Water"—had me pumping my fists and primed to crowd-surf like it was the '90s all over again.
Jessie Ware
Jessie Ware got her big break on a SBTRKT song, but the U.K. singer's debut, Devotion, works much more than the post-dubstep circuit. Whether her vocals rest Sade-like on the sun-warped synth-pop stunner "Sweet Talk" or reach the rafters on the stadium-size love anthem "Wildest Moments", her sultry set of pipes have already locked down a number of devotees.
The Seer
Described by Swans leader Michael Gira as an album 30 years in the making, The Seer is a tense, jarring work of cyclical, 30-minute terror drones and moody, boot-shaking goth-country that comes to a frightening close with a nerve-shattering, popcorn-blast drum solo. A twisted choir's refrain at the start of the collection effectively sums up the spirit of The Seer: "Lunacy."
No Can Do
Local boys Ladyhawk took four years off between their last record, Shots, and their latest LP. In the process, they lost their boozier bar-rock inclinations, scrapped the solos, upped the tempos for some pop-punk stompers, and made the strongest record of their career.
"Some Things Never Seem to Fucking Work" and the infectious yet heartbreaking R & B wiggler "Losing You" point to crumbling relationships. But Solange and producer Dev Hynes's '80s-indebted first collaborative effort highlights a near-perfect partnership—and that's the truth.
Mac DeMarco
Rock and Roll Night Club
Viceroy-puffing Vancouver expat DeMarco employs a jokey baritone on much of this late-night, lo-fi perv-pop platter, which especially befits the pair-of-Lee's-praising foreplay of fetish number "Baby's Wearing Blue Jeans". It's sleazy tunesmithing at its finest.
Late Nights
No one expects to throw a Twista-assisted track on their top 10, but the fast-rapper and Chi-town crooner Jeremih's "Ladies", a soulful and sped-up celebration of rhino-legged beauties, eclipsed most other club jams for me this year. The rest of the bed-blazing R & B set sizzles too.

Horoscopes by Holiday: Week of April 12
by Holiday Mathis
It's the last week of Aries, and there is still a spark of initiation in the air. Act on those impulses to try something new, reach out to someone you don't know and go where you've never been. Easter happens under an adventurous Sagittarian moon, fueling a quest for fresh horizons. At the end of the week, Venus changes direction. She's been traveling retrograde and will finally give us a break and smooth out the road to love.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you give as much as you do to an endeavor, it's challenging to stay unattached to the outcome. However, you will notice this week that you can't control everything and that you wouldn't want to anyway. Stress goes away because you resolve to do your part and then let go. Life will surprise and awe you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What would you like to see happen in your relationships that would make you feel loved? Figure it out and give it to yourself instead of waiting for another person to provide it. Others will soon echo your fine treatment of yourself, contributing the things that bring you comfort, security and pleasure.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Between your family, work, faith, friends and community, you are involved in many different social circles. One group stands out as being extremely important and enjoyable lately. You would miss it if it weren't a part of your life. Do everything you can to be an effective member of that team.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you don't understand why people behave as they do, you're not alone. You'll have to work extra hard at listening in order to set things right with the world. One loved one in particular is having a difficult time communicating. You'll hear his person clearly when you do not anticipate what is going to be said.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you find yourself obsessing on the way others are acting, it's a sign that you need to do what's necessary to change your focus. Maybe you need to have a talk, change your agreements or decide on a different kind of relationship. Do what needs doing, and do it quick. Don't let problems fester. Handle them fast.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Your ambitions will be embraced by the powers that be. You are apt to think of ways to help other people succeed, and in the process you will be promoted. Lucky events happen after you attend a seminar, convention or exposition. You'll get to know an intriguing someone in June. Your priorities shift in the fall, and you may decide that you need to relocate or retrain in order to pursue new horizons. Celebrations in August, October and December will be sweetly memorable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be part of a team. You must rely on both your offense and defense. Stay aware of each person's talents. There is a delicate balance here. Seize your chance to be the star, but only when you're sure it's your turn. Realize when to back down and let your teammate make the winning move.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are certain rules that you follow, even though you have no idea what purpose your compliance will serve. You will be filled with curiosity this week, and you might be moved to pursue a better understanding of the structures by which you blindly abide. What you learn will help you to act with greater purpose.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'd like to discuss where a relationship is headed. You may be worried that the other person will be surprised by your feelings and not in a good way. Put off this conversation until next week — you'll understand your heart more clearly then. Concentrate on treating yourself well. Everything will resolve for the best.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The people who are supposed to be in your support system may seem to have the opposite effect, draining your energy. Try not to take on too much. Be a little more selfish with your time, doing the things you want to do. After you make yourself happy, you'll find that you like other people better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're fascinating, it's true. Your friends, family and colleagues will ask you for more juicy details about your life this week, and you'll come up with one tantalizing story after another. It's important that you reciprocate social generosity. Be careful not to imagine that your travails are the only important ones.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It would be prudent to imagine the history of a relationship in a new light. Things haven't always been smooth. Think about what your sign mate Pulitzer Prize winner Wallace Stegner once wrote: "Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus."
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You could be caught in a power struggle. To come out a winner in this one it will be necessary to see the situation from the other person's perspective. Figure out what he or she is afraid of and also what really might be gained. Reduce your opponent's fear, and he or she will soften. You prevail through compassion.

Wow! 21 entries this time! That's a great turnout, and I hope I didn't miss anyone. Pardon the roughness of my prose here, but I wanted to get this post up so everyone can start reading through the entries. Consider this a rough draft. I'll clean up the links and correct any errors later, so feel free to comment if I've screwed something up. And of course if I missed including you, let me know that as well.
Good work, everyone!
First off the gate is Married with Dinner! Cameron brings us his variation on a Manhattan. Although I've have many good Manhattans, I've never tried either the Carpano Antica nor the Hermes orange bitters. My Manhattan experiences are incomplete!
Then Nick, from Eightbehind, offers the Rude Cosmopolitan.
Macky's Delectations serves a fine cocktail, the Adonis.
Aussie Anna does her due diligence and hits from down under with the Coco Baby Bitters cocktail, a yummy-sounding creamy, coconut-based drink.
Over on eGullet, Erik Ellestad follows the old fashioned through the years. The Cole Porter lyrics are a fun touch, and as a one who loves both old fashioneds and Cole Porter, I'll have to track down that song! They've got a great conversation going in that thread about the history of bitters–it's very much worth a read. I don't necessarily think that MxMo needs to revolve around cocktail recipes, as long as people are sharing their enjoyment and knowledge with others. So a bit of discussion about the formulation and history of bitters is very welcome!
Darryl, a.k.a. the natural born cynic, brings us the Pegu Club cocktail. It seems that Darryl is entirely new to bitters, but has since learned how versatile a bottle of Angostura can truly be. Welcome to the cult, Darryl!
Matt, from My Bar Your Bar, offers the Gloria cocktail. Hmmm, looks like I have everything I need for that… G-L-O-R-I-A! Gloooooooooria!
Michael C. experiments in his midnight kitchen with different formulations on two classics: the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned. It's always good to see people tweak their drinks recipes to fit their own tastes, so check out Michael's efforts.
Haalo, who'll apparently cook almost anything at least once, uncaps her Peychaud's for a cognac-based Sazerac. Although that drink is now usually made with rye whiskey, the cognac formulation has good pedigree. I'm eager to try one myself! Ah, and I notice that she can apparently get real absinthe down in Melbourne. Lucky Haalo! I'd love to try a Sazerac with real absinthe. My green fairy is envious!
I'm honored to help Seamus inaugurate a new blog at Bunnyhugs, where he braves a new spirit, Suze, a gentian-based potable bitter. I think you'll have a swell time reading Seamus's tale of acquiring and experimenting with the spirit Suze.
Meeta chimes in from German with a Manhattan. Her tales of photography woes ring a bell with my foodie wife, who reports similar frustrations getting her food photos just right.
Another from the Antipodes! Mary brings us a couple of yummy-sounding, lightly fruity drinks.
Then Imbibe Unfiltered offers a creation of Boston bar manager Jackson Cannon, The Metamorphosis, inspired by Kafka.

The house came with a few nice trees, the most significant being the large grapefruit tree.
It used to do well before I started digging into the ground and cutting through roots. I feel bad about that, I think its fruit production dropped by 80% last year.
Its really dying back and i've done a lot of sawing off of dead limbs and theres quite a bit missing now. I even just brought a long tree limb saw and have started targetting some of the dead wood right up in the top. Its all going to come down and so its better to do it bit by bit. the photos are not all in the correst order but I think they are good enough. The February 2015 photos are after the June 2014 photos. Not the biggest disaster.
As you can see, its massive. I think its near to dying so im thinking ahead and replacing it.
Spent a morning cutting out dead wood. After the collapse of the orange tree I thought I would consider this tree. Managed to get quite a bit of old wood out including a very large limb that I had to climb quite high up to get at. Theres still the lower trunk of that dead limb to do but I think I have time for that. Im concerned that the ants are hastening its demise, the wood was riddled with ant holes and I nearly got eaten when I kicked off a rotten limb that was essentially full of ants, I used a rope to stop the limbs from falling and I could see the ants rushing out and actually biting the rope. It was bright blue and easy to see. I got out of the tree and elected to do the rest later. Whats left is pretty easy to get to but its quite large and could use 2-3 cuts to bring it down in managable lumps, but thats for another day. Im sort of happy that if it fell it would cause less damage.

Interesting Links for 15-8-2011Aug. 15th, 2011 04:01 pm
- David Starkey is wrong, plain and simple – @Miss_Snuffy's demolishes those defending Starkey's racismI've rewatched Starkey's train wreck of a Newsnight performance twice now, and I've read both Toby Young and Jerry Hayes defending what they thinks he meant to say. I suspect, actually, that they're right about what he was trying to say. But he used such racist language in such a dismissive and stupid way that he was, quite simply, wrong. Here's hoping he'll stop getting invited on shows like Question Time to rudely talk over every other panellist and refuse to let anyone else get a word in edgeways. If I never see him on TV again I'll be happy. Man's an arse.
- I like the existing map, but it can't half be confusing at times. Stations that're around the corner from each other look like they're miles apart, lines that go straight up actually curve around half of London, etc. And the Overground and other new additions look stupid on it. Why not start from scratch, apply the same basic principles, and see what comes out?
- Post-Conflict Potter - Foreign Policy journal covers conflict resolution and rebuilding. In the Potterverse"the defeat of Voldemort by Harry Potter may have been the easy part. Indeed, one might even say it was child's play. The hard work of postwar stabilization still lies ahead. " Not sure I agree with all of their proposed ideas, but I'm ten years out of date in the literature, perhaps readers with more hands on experience in the area might contribute an opinion?
- The interminable patent disputes with the higher end tech markets are really getting to me now, the whole area of law seems in major need of reform, two major trading partners are also suing each other for ripping each other off, etc etc. But to block sales of a product line without hearing or notification? Something wrong with that.
- If there's a sudden shortage in a commodity because, say, the wheatfields in Russia go up in smoke, then prices rise, partially due to speculators investing. But that rise in prices encourages more production of the commodity, seeing prices start to fall again and stopping massive peaks and troughs in prices. After a lot of reading around this, I've come to the conclusion that the futures market is actually a Good Thing within the current trade framework. This surprised me, but the evidence is clear
- A couple are, well, offensive, but most are well done and funny
- Number one is two separate case studies, both ridiculously dull. Nice to see Britain punching above its weight in the stupid department again.

In the case of Goto, the optimization will be a function of the compiler and compiler flags you use, not whether you compile it on a local or remote disk. For ATLAS, I suppose the difference in I/O could affect its automatic tuning if for some reason it's not doing it all in memory, but that seems unlikely. Thanks, Donnie

Preventing Cryptosporidiosis: A Guide for People With Compromised Immune Systems
January 2003
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Table of Contents
What Are the Symptoms of Crypto?Symptoms include diarrhea, loose or watery stool, stomach cramps, upset stomach, and a slight fever. Some people have no symptoms.
How Long After Infection Do Symptoms Appear?Symptoms generally begin 2-10 days after being infected.
How Long Will Symptoms Last?In persons with average immune systems, symptoms usually last about 2 weeks; the symptoms may go in cycles in which you may seem to get better for a few day, then feel worse before the illness ends.
Who Might Be Immuno-Compromised or Have a Weakened Immune System?Examples of persons with weakened immune systems include those with AIDS; cancer and transplant patients who are taking certain immunosuppressive drugs; and those with inherited diseases that affect the immune system. The risk of developing severe disease may differ depending on each person's degree of immune suppression. Following all the recommendations in this fact sheet can be a great personal burden, so consult with your health care provider to determine whether your medical condition makes it advisable to follow all of these recommendations.
How Does Crypto Affect You if Your Immune System Is Severely Weakened?In persons with AIDS and in others whose immune system is weakened, Crypto can be serious, long-lasting, and sometimes fatal. If your CD4+ cell count is below 200, Crypto is more likely to cause diarrhea and other symptoms for a long time. If your CD4+ count is above 200, your illness may not last more than 1 to 3 weeks or slightly longer. However, you could still carry the infection, which means that the Crypto parasites are living in your intestine, but are not causing illness. As a carrier of Crypto, you could infect other people. If your CD4+ count later drops below 200, your symptoms may reappear.
How Is Crypto Spread?Crypto lives in the intestine of infected humans or animals. Millions of Crypto can be released in a bowel movement from an infected human or animal. You can become infected after accidentally swallowing the parasite. Crypto may be found in soil, food, water, or surfaces that have been contaminated with the feces from infected humans or animals. Crypto is not spread by contact with blood. Crypto can be spread:
I Have Been Diagnosed With Crypto. Should I Worry About Spreading It?Yes, Crypto can be very contagious. Follow these guidelines to avoid spreading Crypto to others.
What Should I Do if I Think I Have Crypto?See your health care provider.
How Is a Crypto Infection Diagnosed?Your health care provider will ask you to submit stool samples to see if you are infected. Because testing for Crypto can be difficult, you may be asked to submit several stool specimens over several days. Because tests for Crypto are not routinely done in most laboratories, your health care provider should specifically request testing for the parasite.
What Is the Treatment for Crypto?There is no effective treatment. If you have diarrhea, drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Rapid loss of fluids because of diarrhea can be life-threatening in babies; parents should consult their health care provider about fluid replacement therapy options for babies. Anti-diarrhea medicine may help slow down diarrhea, but consult with your health care provider before taking it.
People who are in poor health or who have a weakened immune system are at higher risk for more severe and more prolonged illness. For persons with AIDS, anti-retroviral therapy that improves immune status will also decrease or eliminate symptoms of Crypto infection. Some drugs, such as paromomycin, may reduce the symptoms of Crypto and new drugs are being tested. However, Crypto is usually not cured and may come back if the immune status worsens. See your health care provider to discuss anti-retroviral therapy used to improve immune status.
How Can I Protect Myself From Crypto?You can reduce your risk of getting Crypto. The more steps you take, the less likely you are to get infected. These actions will also help protect you against other diseases. Following all the recommendations in this fact sheet can be a great personal burden. Consult with your health care provider to determine whether your medical condition makes it advisable to follow all of these recommendations.
1. Wash Your HandsWashing your hands often with soap and water is probably the single most important step you can take to prevent Crypto and other illnesses. Always wash your hands before eating and preparing food. Wash your hands well after touching children in diapers; after touching clothing, bedding, toilets, or bed pans soiled by someone who has diarrhea; after gardening; any time you touch pets or other animals; and after touching anything that might have had contact with even the smallest amounts of human or animal stool, including dirt in your garden and other places. Even if you wear gloves when you do these activities you should still wash well when you finish. Children should be supervised by adults to make sure they wash their hands well.
2. Practice Safer SexInfected people may have Crypto on their skin in the anal and genital areas, including the thighs and buttocks. However, since you cannot tell if someone has Crypto, you may want to take these precautions with any sex partner: "Rimming" (kissing or licking the anus) is so likely to spread infection that you should avoid it, even if you and your partner wash well before. Always wash your hands well after touching your partner's anus or rectal area.
3. Avoid Touching Farm AnimalsIf you touch a farm animal, particularly a calf, lamb, or other young animal, or visit a farm where animals are raised, wash your hands well with soap and water before preparing food or putting anything in your mouth. Do not touch the stool of any animal. After you visit a farm or other area with animals, have someone who is not immuno-compromised clean your shoes, or wear disposable gloves if you clean them yourself. Wash your hands after taking off the gloves.
4. Avoid Touching the Stool of PetsMost pets are safe to own. However, someone who is not immuno-compromised should clean their litter boxes or cages, and dispose of the stool. If you must clean up after a pet, use disposable gloves. Wash your hands afterwards. The risk of getting Crypto is greatest from pets that are less than 6 months old, animals that have diarrhea, and stray animals. Older animals can also have Crypto, but they are less likely to have it than younger animals. If you get a puppy or kitten that is less than 6 months old, have the animal tested for Crypto before bringing it home. If any pet gets diarrhea, have it tested for Crypto.
5. Avoid Swallowing Water When Swimming in the Ocean, Lakes, Rivers, or Pools, and When Using Hot TubsWhen swimming in lakes, rivers, or pools, and when using hot tubs, avoid swallowing water. Several outbreaks of Crypto have been traced to swallowing contaminated water while swimming. Crypto can live in chlorinated swimming pools and water parks for days. Crypto also can remain alive in salt water for several days, so swimming in polluted ocean water may also be unsafe.
6. Wash and/or Cook Your FoodFresh vegetables and fruits may be contaminated with Crypto. Therefore, wash well all vegetables or fruit you will eat uncooked. If you take extra steps to make your water safe (see below for ways to do so), use this safe water to wash your fruits and vegetables. When you can, peel fruit that you will eat raw, after washing it. Do not eat or drink unpasteurized milk or dairy products. Cooking kills Crypto. Therefore, cooked food and heat-processed foods are probably safe if, after cooking or processing, they are not handled by someone infected with Crypto, or exposed to possibly contaminated water.
7. Take Extra Care When TravelingIf you travel to developing nations, you may be at a greater risk for Crypto because of poorer water treatment and food sanitation. Warnings about food, drinks, and swimming are even more important when visiting developing countries. Avoid foods and drinks, in particular raw fruits and vegetables, tap water, or ice made from tap water, unpasteurized milk or dairy products, and items purchased from street vendors. These items may be contaminated with Crypto. Steaming-hot foods, fruits you peel yourself, bottled and canned processed drinks, and hot coffee or tea are probably safe. Talk with your health care provider about other guidelines for travel abroad.
8. Drink Safe WaterDo not drink water directly from lakes, rivers, streams, or springs. Because you cannot be sure if your tap water contains Crypto, you may wish to avoid drinking tap water, including water or ice from a refrigerator, which is usually made with tap water. Because public water quality and treatment vary throughout the U.S., always check with the local health department and water utility to see if they have issued any special notices about the use of tap water by immuno-compromised persons. You may also wish to take some additional measures: boiling your water, filtering your water with certain home filters, or drinking certain types of bottled water. Processed carbonated (bubbly) drinks in cans or bottles are probably safe, but drinks made at a fountain might not be because they are made with tap water. If you choose to take these extra measures, use them all the time, not just at home. If the public health department advises boiling the water, do not drink tap water unless you boil it. You could also use one of the bottled waters described below.

Three Ski Areas Are Turning White
Start dusting off the snowboard tucked under your bed, the snow is starting to fall around the United States. This past week, three resorts announced a visit from the white stuff, some of it natural and some man made.
The first trace of winter made its appearance last night at Stowe Resort in Vermont. While the resort received only small amounts of snow, people are getting excited for the winter. "I'm looking outside right now, and all I see is white," says Liz McCarthy, public relations for Stowe. Traditionally the resort opens around November 19, and in spite of the early snowfall, this year looks to be no different.
Word from Burton headquarters in nearby Burlington is that although there's not quite enough snow for boarding, employees were planning a snow skating session in the Bolton Valley area.Other resorts around the country trumped Mother Nature this week and busted out the snowmaking guns. Loveland Ski Area in Colorado has been consistently receiving overnight lows in the twenties and began snowmaking last Wednesday night. Killington in Vermont began blowing snow just last night. Colorado resorts are known to fire up the snow guns early for pre-season riding, but Killington is the first East Coast resort to make snow this season.
There is no word how the early snowmaking will effect opening day for either resort.

LocationNorthumberland, England
ClientThe Kielder Partnership
Project Year1999
Outside, one is exposed to the elements, unsheltered, but attuned to the landscape. To enter the Kielder Belvedere and seek shelter is to be protected from the weather and be given precisely controlled, but seemingly unhindered visual experience of the world beyond.
Warm and dry, seated in a gently-lit drum, one is shielded from discomfort, free to contemplate the environment beyond. On approach from the park, two etched-steel mirror walls reflect the forest and flank a doorway set beneath a richly-coloured glass canopy. The triangular shelter is entered via its apex, through an apparently very thick wall. The curve of the door suggests what lies beyond; a golden circular chamber, lit by soft daylight filtering through a coloured skylight.
In the centre of the enclosure, a bench faces a single slot window in the far wall that offers a panoramic view of Kielder water. Owing to the curvature of the glazing and the sharply splayed window reveals, it is hard here to determine the thickness of the wall; the view in this way becoming an integral part of the surface of the drum. The 120 – degree band of vision contains the far horizon, the expanse of the reservoir and shoreline. The constantly changing weather sweeps by and there is the anticipation, observation and ultimate arrival of the ferry as it enters the frame.
By contrast to the flat flank walls, the third face of the exterior has a dramatic convex mirror-polished stainless steel surface. The vista is drawn in as if by gravity towards the curved window and the viewer.
