Buhoma Community Cultural WalkLocation: At the main entrance to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Overlooking the imposing hillsides of Bwindi Impenetrable forest, with the mist swirling over the summits, this is one of the most dramatic settings for your cultural tour!
Your first stop is a handicraft shop run by the community women´s group. These skilled artisans create beautiful grass mats, wood carvings, dyed fabrics, handmade paper and natural beeswax candles. Next, you will meet the Batwa – former forest dwellers who perform songs and dances about the forest they are no longer permitted to live in. One of the most important community figures is the traditional healer – who not only treats the sick, but uses his knowledge to conserve and educate about the various medicinal plants. The primary school visit gives an insight into life as a rural child in Buhoma, as you meet the friendly teachers and pupils.
You are sure to see many, many bananas on your travels through Uganda – and this tour concludes with an explanation of the different types – along with a demonstration of how they are used. Watch, taste and enjoy!
- Purchase beautiful crafts made by local women – and know that your money will help them take care of their families and send their children to school
- Hear the moving story of the Batwa people- they are working with local NGOs to purchase land in order to cultivate crops and finally become self-sufficient again.
- Meet the local healer. He can treat anything from stomach aches to impotence - a form of traditional Viagra!
- Learn the process of transforming bananas first refreshing banana juice, then to a popular beer (rwarwa) and finally to local gin (waragi). Will you dare to try it?!
Responsible Travel

Cassadee Pope Says Second Single Brings New Challenges, Confidence
Cassadee Pope has already seen widespread success with her hit single 'Wasting All These Tears.' She was the first female artist to have a debut single go platinum since Taylor Swift and she won the fan-voted Breakthrough Video of the Year award at the CMT Music Awards. While the stunning star may have wasted tears, she's certainly not about to waste any time.
Pope recently told Taste of Country about her most recent star encounter (Martina McBride), the best advice she's gotten lately and the tricky transition that comes in moving from a first single to a second.
"I think coming off a first single that hit Top 10 and went platinum, you want to meet those goals and you want to surpass them, so I find a little bit of pressure doing that," she says.
But the Season 3 winner of NBC's 'The Voice' says she also has more self-assurance this time around. "I also feel more confident because I know everybody now, and in country radio I'm seeing people for the third or fourth time so it feels more like I'm belonging and I know everybody and that feels comfortable."
Pope's newest single, 'I Wish I Could Break Your Heart,' was released in March. She's stayed busy since, somehow finding time to give back by participating in events like the Outnumber Hunger Live! concert she and several other Big Machine Label Group artists participated in last April. Outnumber Hunger is a collaboration between General Mills, Big Machine Label Group and Feeding America that supports local food banks.
Look for Pope on road with Tim McGraw for his Sundown Heaven Town Tour this summer. Pope says that McGraw has offered some great nuggets of wisdom for her burgeoning career.
"Tim just basically told me, 'I know some shows are going to be pretty empty because you're the opener, but just know that, those people, you can win them over. You go out there, you give your all, and they could be your fans at the end of the night.' And that meant a lot to me."
Pope is definitely thankful for the great advice as she transitions into her new single. And if hits are any indication, she may not be playing to empty venues for long.

Research at Mass General
The Laboratory for Tissue Engineering and Organ Fabrication at the Massachusetts General Hospital works closely with stem cell biologists, material scientists, and engineers from the Center for Regenerative Medicine, MIT, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and the Draper Laboratories. Collaborating with Professor Robert Langer from MIT, we began building living tissues using living cells on specially designed degradable plastics. This invention is now patented and being tested worldwide. Our work is also a part of the Center for Innovations in Minimally Invasive Therapies as well as the Department of Surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Tissue Engineering is a new field in science, medicine, and engineering in which living replacements for organs and tissues of the body are designed and built. Our laboratory at MGH has been designing and building organs and tissues for almost 20 years. We have worked closely with scientists and engineers at MIT and have studied 27 tissues of the body. The Tissue Engineering & Organ Fabrication Lab uses cells combined with special plastics and natural materials, which act as the scaffolding upon which the living tissue is built. Several clinical trials are planned or underway.

Projects under the direction of Dr. Joseph Vacanti
Engineered Vascular Networks
For over 10 years, the laboratory has had an active program to understand and recreate vascular networks similar to those found in the body. General and tissue specific criteria have been compiled that are key to mimicking blood flow in the body. Following these principles, we have developed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models and translated them to microfluidic devices. Platelet deposition in these models is minimized so that negligible clotting is observed during in vitro and in vivo tests. Tissue specific vascular networks have been developed and are being optimized for use in engineered lung and liver tissues.
Tissue Engineered Scaffold Design, Manufacture, & Testing
Our tissue-engineered scaffolds have been developed using a variety of computational and manufacturing tools. Prior to manufacture, the vascular networks in the scaffold are modeled and optimized using 3D computer modeling and simulated using computational fluid dynamics. These scaffolds are manufactured in-house using soft-lithography or 3D printing and then tested. Precision tools and process control enable us to quickly identify and correct process issues, extending the boundaries of state-of-the-art engineered scaffolds.
Liver Tissue Engineering
Extensive work has been devoted to developing a tissue engineered liver. This liver is comprised of an engineered biomimetic vascular network and parenchymal chamber separated by a semi-permeable membrane and utilizes our engineered vascular network technology. This model is being tailored to develop a bridge to liver transplantation, a full replacement engineered liver, and to model liver pathology such as liver fibrosis.
Lung Tissue Engineering
Efforts to develop a tissue engineered lung have only recently begun to gain momentum despite a significant clinical need for patients of all ages. Ongoing research focuses on creating an artificial lung by applying biomimetic principles. This artificial lung is comprised of an engineered biomimetic vascular network and a gas chamber, separated by an ultra-thin and highly gas permeable membrane. While blood continuously flows through the vascular network, oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged by diffusion across the membrane. Current work is focused on optimizing the components to maximize gas transfer and oxygenation within the system.
Vascularized Bone
Bone grafting is required to correct deficits arising from congenital defects, trauma, and disease. Synthetic and decellularized allogeneic grafts seeded with autologous bone marrow aspirate are used in spinal fusion applications and to repair nonunion long bone fractures. However, a central zone of necrosis frequently occurs as the core relies upon mass transport for oxygen and metabolic requirements; extensive necrosis results in only a shell of ossification. A clinically relevant model has been developed, based on seeded endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells, to produce vascularized bone grafts which eliminate hypoxia in the core. Parameters are being identified that impact the rate and quality of vascular network formation. These parameters will be applied to the development of a protocol that permits efficient blood perfusion throughout the scaffold. Incorporation of these vascular networks will greatly increase the quality of bone grafts.
In Vitro Model of Drug Metabolism
In collaboration with the Draper Laboratories, a microfabricated, microfluidic bi-layer liver device has been developed based on our engineered vascular networks to model liver drug metabolism. Hepatocytes seeded into the device are exposed to drugs flowing through the vascular side of the device. The effluent can be easily assayed for applicable markers of hepatocyte metabolism and function. This model is scalable, maintains long-term cellular viability, and is designed to mimic liver tissue phenotype and function.
Drug-induced Vascular Injury
Drug induced vascular injury (DIVI) is a major cause of failure of Phase I (safety) clinical trials of pharmaceuticals. This vascular injury is characterized by extravasation of red blood cells through the endothelium into the smooth muscle cell layer that surrounds blood vessel endothelium. The mechanisms of this pathology are not currently understood. In addition, the formation and progression of these vascular lesions cannot be monitored in vivo in living animals or humans. In collaboration with the Draper Laboratory, an in vitro model of DIVI is being developed which builds on our engineered vascular networks. Endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells are cultured on either side of a semi-permeable membrane in a configuration of similar size to lesion-prone blood vessels. When optimized, this model will be utilized to assess the potential of pharmaceutical compounds to induce DIVI as well as to identify DIVI markers and mechanisms.
Projects under the direction of Dr. Cathryn Sundback
A primary focus of the laboratory is engineering replacement skeletal muscles to treat severe facial muscle injuries. Our engineered muscle is a self-assembled 3D muscle that exhibits the physiologic morphology of immature skeletal muscle and its development mimics native muscle maturation. We are currently engineering a vascular network in vitro which will anastomose with the host vasculature upon implantation. The vascularized, engineered muscle will also contain a neuronal system that will facilitate the innervation between the construct and the host. In addition to optimizing the implantation conditions to support vascularization and innervation of the implanted engineered muscle, we are developing scaffold strategies to scale up our muscle tissue to a full sized facial muscle.
A significant challenge remains to maintain the 3D shape of engineered cartilage avoiding its distortion and shrinkage when the supporting scaffold framework is resorbed and the cartilage tissue matures. Our approach is to engineer ear-shaped autologous cartilage with an embedded framework to define the ear shape utilizing materials previously approved by the FDA. Fabricated using 3D process technology, the supporting framework will be customizable to the patient. In support of this effort, a clinically relevant approach is being developed to acquire massive populations of autologous chondrocytes from a limited initial source for engineering full sized human ear-shaped cartilage. Extensive cell expansion in vitro leads to cell de-differentiation and the inability to form cartilage; our work looks to explore methods to promote re-differentiation or to hinder de-differentiation of chondrocytes.
Kensey Nash Collaboration
The laboratory has an extensive collaboration with Kensey Nash Corp., a medical device company with broad experience in clinical applications of resorbable and collagen-based materials. Together we are developing and testing resorbable scaffolds for lung and liver applications and for engineering ear cartilage. Kensey Nash is leveraging their collagen fabrication experience to create simple and patterned thin collagen films for lung and liver applications. Our ear replacement scaffold is a composite scaffold which primarily consists of Kensey Nash's fibrous collagen. Read more about Collagen Technology and Extracellular Matrix Technology

Poly(Glycerol Sebacate): In collaboration with Peter Masiakos, MD
Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is a novel resorbable bioelastomer designed to mimic the properties of collagen and elastin in soft tissue engineering applications. It is unique in its ability to sustain and recover from deformation in mechanically dynamic environments while maintaining remarkable biocompatibility.
We have tested PGS for use in applications that have challenged clinical medicine. For example, PGS plugs have been tested as a possible tympanic membrane plug. Each year, more than 500,000 tympanostomy tubes are placed in children chronically suffering from otitis media. In 2 – 19% of these cases, the tympanic membrane perforations fail to close after tube removal. In response to this medical challenge, we developed novel processing to manufacture small tympanic membrane plugs. In collaboration with Dr. Christopher Hartnick, these plugs were implanted into chronic tympanic membrane perforations of chinchillas; perforation closure was observed at a statistically higher rate than the standard of care.
PGS has also been tested as a potential barrier to abdominal adhesion formation. Adhesions are a common post-operative complication of abdominal surgery in which scar tissue deposits at the surgical site and binds to other parts of the bowel or peritoneum; adhesions often result in disruption of normal bowel function with significant morbidity and mortality. Thin films of PGS were manufactured and implanted in the rat model of abdominal injury. PGS films were found to be highly effective in preventing adhesion formation. Currently, we are testing the ability of thin PGS tubes to prevent adhesion formation following small bowel resection and reconnection surgery.
In collaboration with Jeffery Karp, PGS surfaces are being modified to include nanopatterning and surface coatings to promote biocompatible PGS-tissue adhesion. This work is being developed for applications like sealant of lung damage and closure of pathological fistulas and patent foramina.
A Post-doctoral fellowship is available in the Laboratory for Tissue Engineering and Organ Fabrication within the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The applicant will join an on-going effort lead by Cathryn Sundback and Joseph Vacanti in collaboration with Joachim Kohn of the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials (Rutgers University, New Brunswick) to develop a functional vascularized and innervated skeletal muscle for craniofacial reconstruction. The position offers an outstanding opportunity for interdisciplinary training in the areas of stem cell biology, biomaterials science, biomedical imaging, and medical device development including pre-clinical testing and regulatory issues. Additional training in bioreactor design toward muscle maturation and muscle functional assessment available through collaborations with Keith Baar (University of California at Davis) and Jeff Widrick (Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Boston), respectively.

The National Hockey League lockout is over, and after 113 days of labor disputes, the NHL and the NHLPA reached a long-term agreement guaranteeing labor peace for 10 years with an eighth-year opt out clause.
Continue Reading Below
The deal ended several months of negotiations between NHL players and owners over contract limits, revenue share, salary caps and salary floors.
But the excitement of the long-awaited agreement extends beyond NHL players and coaches; hotels, bars and restaurants in close proximity to NHL rinks are just as anxious for business to return.
At least 480 games, the Winter Classic and the All-Star game were canceled due to the lockout. The Winter Classic was scheduled to be played January 1 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Detroit Red Wings in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The National Hockey League lost millions of dollars in revenue after canceling a game expected to attract a record crowd of nearly 115,000 fans.
Los Gatos Brewing Co., meanwhile, is a half a mile from San Jose's HP Pavilion, home to the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks have sold out 110 games in a row at HP Pavilion in San Jose.
"We're super stoked the lockout is over and the Sharks will begin playing games soon," said Liberty Miller, manager of Los Gatos Brewing Co. "When the Sharks play, it brings customers to our restaurant. Without the games, we saw a significant decline in business. We usually hire more people during the NHL season but the lockout this year didn't allow us to do that. Rather it forced us to cut some employee's hours."
Each canceled NHL game meany less revenue to local businesses, and depending on the size of the market, certain cities suffered more than others.
The St. Louis Budget Director's office estimates the city of St. Louis lost more than $1.3 million in revenue due to the shortened season. Each home game is estimated to bring in $65,000.
Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey warned of the losses small businesses experienced in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In a letter to the U.S. Small Business Administration, Sen. Casey referred to the tourism bureau VisitPittsburgh's study citing the city of Pittsburgh generates approximately $2.1 million worth of revenue from each home game with nearly half of the revenue going to small businesses.
Sen. Casey also noted Select Greater Philadelphia's estimates that Philadelphia is losing about $1 million in revenue for every canceled home game.
The lengthy lockout prompted the Small Business Administration to reach out to local businesses and offer counseling services to those hurt by the strike.
And the threat of another canceled season left some fans with bitter feelings toward the league; forcing NHL teams to do everything they can to lure fans back to the rink. The Tampa Bay Lightening offered 200 season tickets for $200 each on Wednesday in an effort to boost excitement from fans.
NHL players and owners, as well as local hotels, bars and restaurants, are not the only ones to benefit from a new collective bargaining agreement. Investors nationwide may have an opportunity to make money on the new deal. Shares of Madison Square Garden (NYSE:MSG), the owner of the New York Rangers, hit an all-time high earlier this week following Sunday's announcement.
"It's a good opportunity to buy Madison Square Garden's stock," said Richard Tullo, Albert Fried Director of Research.
Despite the fact that the lockout wiped out millions of dollars in revenue, some say the league won't suffer too much because the top revenue generating games will still be played, so there's not too much to worry about.
"The NHL saved the most valuable part of the season, the playoffs," said Joel Maxcy, Temple University Sports Economist. "I doubt there will be much of a hangover effect. Similar to the NBA last year and to the NHL lockout in 2004-2005, the league will bounce back and a lot of short-term losses will even out."
Under the new collective bargaining agreement, player contracts are capped at seven years with an eight-year exception for players resigning with their own teams, revenue share will be split 50-50 between owners and players and a $64.3 million salary cap ceiling and a $44 million floor will take effect next season.
Training camps began Sunday, setting the stage for a shortened 48-game season. Opening day is scheduled for January 19.

I finished this one last. Faith and Fire follows a Sisters of Battle squad as they pick up a powerful pyrokene and bring him to his home world to be executed for his crimes. He had somehow escaped the notice of the Black Ships and gone on a murderous rampage throughout the subsector till he had been captured on Groombridge. Naturally he escapes custody and goes on another murderous rampage on his home world.
The plot is fairly standard, the interesting thing about the book is the look it affords us into the practices of the Battle Sisters, Cain describes the Inquisition as the Emperors pet psychopaths. If that is indeed true than the SoB's are his pet sociopaths. We see within the first few chapters that a Sister who fell prey to the pyrokenes psyker manipulations (she was mind fucked) was forced to sacrifice herself to save her squad from execution by volunteering to join the Sisters Repentia. A group of disgraced SoB's that go into battle in robes with chainswords, shepherded by a loony with a neural lash. And that's just one of the frankly wasteful and idiotic practices of the order.
The novel also provides some nice insight into what the Emperor was up to after he left the Great Crusade in Horus's hands and retire to Holy Terra. It's no secret that he intended for mankind to become a race of psykers, what's not clear is how he intended to do it. That is partly answered in this novel. A device had been discovered on Neva thousands of years prior that was simply referred to as The Engine, it's purpose: to turn normal humans into powerful psykers. The individual that winds up using it claims that he will become the second Sigillite.
I'd recommend the novel only if your interested in how the SoB operate and the insight into pyskers and the GEoM's plans because, unfortunately the characters are flat and boring. The SoB's come across as murderous loony's who exist only to spout dogma and fire meltaguns at heretics.

Tomorrow's Loyalty is Today's Experience - Communicating in a culturally diverse world requires a bold fresh approach. America has changed dramatically, driven by demographic, cultural, societal and technological shifts.
We place the cross-cultural consumer at the center of our approach and thinking as the new mainstream rather than a subset.
We believe in the Power of Brands - We see them as cultural guideposts, as personal and powerful tools with which people explore and expand their identity, beliefs, aspirations and life experiences. We see them as evolving as our collective social values change. As consumer sentiments take unpredictable turns to create new movements, be it politically or socially driven, brands can become replaceable quickly if not continuously managed and re-positioned.
We are ambassadors of emotional branding and interpreters of contemporary, progressive lifestyles. We help brands leverage and build their essence, purpose and unique story, to create enduring consumer experiences nutured over time through clear and consistent communication at every touch point via original programming.
We understand the challenges related to rapid changes in traditional media and consumer engagement. We develop stories for social media consumption and distribution that mirror the offline/online duality in the lives of our audience(s) to ensure an integrated and in-culture creative approach utilizing branded content.
Purpose is what drives us to the future and to strive for a better world. It's what fuels impact. It is a force that is greater than us and outside of us. At Project 2050 we ignite people's passions for a shared sense of Purpose. We help brand partners identify a shared purpose that permeates the entire organization and connects with consumers --- that is what creates a Movement.
Just as culture is experiencing a transformational mash-up so are brands. We work with partners to form strategic alliances that result in new products and services (i.e. Fashion + Tech). Whether it's creating lifestyle driven limited edition products or functional apparel, we help brands remain nimble and relevant to a discerning consumer audience. We also assist in curating archived brand assets for reintroduction (i.e. Retro product relaunches).
We deploy our experience as movement makers and curators to inject purpose and social participation into the DNA of brands and organizations. We believe social movements should be at the core of what brands do and stand for.
Consumers are empowered by and actively engaged with the products they choose. There is no substitute for a genuine brand experience that draws an emotional response and positive memory recall. We create branded moments by connecting products and services to consumers' lifestyle, interests, and aspirations using our S.E.E.R Methodology: Seduce, Engage, Entertain & Retain
Doing good and generating profits are not mutually exclusive. We interact between the social sciences and other areas of public policy to expand the understanding of culture and the humanities to generate insights that inform and influence decision-making; By constantly staying in tune with societal trends we are able to devise strategies to effectively address and convert those trends into grassroots and viral movements.
Culturally Curious + Socially Conscience + Connector
I am a professional dreamer; in fact, I have not stopped dreaming ever since I was a child growing up in New York City. I enjoy the process of discovery and imagination. I believe in the extraordinary ordinaries, those who drive culture not from the forefront, but rather from the background. I have always strived to give voice to those who are silent and helping to expose unexposed talent. This is most evident with my work as co-founder of Voto Latino as well as my involvement in cause-related projects with Boost Mobile/RockCorp and NIKE/Elementos. I am always thinking of what's next because culture and consumer behavior is consistently evolving. I work with brand partners in retaining their equity by keeping pace with that very change.
There's nothing complicated about us. We are a socially conscious agency for a socially conscious community.

Fatto A Mano
"Fatto a Mano" combines the sophistication of hand-made glass in the style of the ancient Venetian tradition with the very latest 21st century glass making technology, using fully automated machine-blown techniques. The ancient, colorful Venetian glass making tradition inspired and ignited the thought process and lead the way towards the required design, where the stem and base would be made by hand and the bowl blown by machine.
Frequently asked questions

The disasters featured in the game take place all over Europe - a heat wave in Berlin, an avalanche in Innsbruck, forest fires in Athens, a rockslide in Zermatt, a plane crash in Moscow, and so on. Many cities will fall victim to spectacular catastrophes requiring complex rescue operations.
1. Cologne Cathedral in ruins
A terrific hurricane has destroyed Cologne Cathedral.

London has been going through a cold spell for weeks. A truck belonging to a help convoy and laden with fuel crashes into one of the towers on Tower Bridge and explodes.
3. Anarchy in Paris
Violent storms have caused a vast amount of damage in Paris - the Eiffel Tower has even collapsed. The population protests against the inactivity of the government.
4. Blazing fire in Berlin
Berlin has been suffering from a prolonged heat wave, the town has turned into a dried-out wasteland. An emergency camp has been set up for the most desperate sufferers.
5. Disaster on the Matterhorn

EMERGENCY 2012 is the latest installment in the classic series of rescue games. The first part appeared in 1998, and since then the series has been continued with growing success.
In EMERGENCY 2012 for PC, the player acts as a dispatcher in gripping rescue missions. Get a wrecked car out of the way fast, have firefighters advance to the source of a blaze, secure a crash site and, at the same time, get medical help to those injured – if you have always wanted to direct fire services, police, technical relief units and medics all at once, the rescue strategy game EMERGENCY 2012 is just the game for you.
The player is the officer in charge of everything and sees to it that all vehicles and helpers are in the right place, doing the right thing at the right time. This is where the strong real-time strategy element of EMERGENCY 2012 sets in. The player must make clever use of vehicles and personnel such as police officers and rescue dog handlers in order to bring everything back under control following a disaster. Once all victims have been whisked away to safety, the player gets to enjoy the feeling of having saved the day. In addition to the numerous missions, EMERGENCY 2012 also offers extensive free-play and multi-player options.

mmmurf brauchte ein neues Button oder Icon Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 22 Designs von 8 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are using a drag'n drop ajax interface and the problem is that our draggable items are not sexy enough.
It's simple, we just need to be able to style the li element so that it's draggable, (uses the move cursor) and so that it looks like something the user would really want to drag. We want it to have a fun appearance, as if the app is made of shiny space-age plastic.
We like the shiny look of the tabs on this site: http://www.woome.com/
The ul containing the li items is set to not put each one on a new line. Thus the li elements may wrap around if the text inside is too big.
Here is the css we are using at present. The li elements have a bit of other styling based on what type they are, but it is pretty much just the background color -- we've posted this contest b/c we want it to look much better.
ul#container {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin: 0 0 15px;
ul#container li, ul#first li, ul#second li {
margin: 20px 4px;
padding: 2px 8px 2px 18px;
border: 1px solid #bdd5e5;
border-width: 1px 1px 1px 5px;
background-color: #e8f1ff;
background-image: none;
line-height: 210%;
cursor: move;
- The design must work if the li items are each on a new line or if they wrap
- we need 7 different bright, fun colors (think imac or fruit loops)
- we want there to be some texture to make it obvious that they should be dragged.
- we like a shiny, plastic-like look.
- we like fun, fresh colors of the kind that google often uses on their sites.
- ideally there is a transparent bg image that we can add to the css to give the elements texture and shine, and then set the color via css to make them all look unique -- not sure if this is possible.
- Right now as you can see they are fairly short, it would be nice if they also looked good a bit taller as well as the height we have them now.
- the design should not limit the length of text that can be included in the li too much. don't assume they are all only 3 words.

I don't really understand whether this winds up being inefficient in memory - for instance, does the kvm have its own pagecache, or all such things merely shared from the host kernel instance? has anyone tried using UML to containerize jobs on a cluster? I recently ran across a moderately old howto on using OpenSSI and UML.

The aroma of fresh flowers greets customers at Vashon's longstanding flower shop Blooms & Things, but customers might detect something new in the air as well.
Longtime Islanders Carol and Chuck Ahlfors bought the shop earlier this month, intending to add their own touches while also keeping it much as it has been in recent years.
"I'm so excited, I am awake at 5 in the morning," Carol said.
Carol, 64, has worked at the store for the past two years as the manager and head designer, a position that topped off her career in the floral industry, which included her own floral design studio, 16 years as a representative of floral design products and frequent work on Rose Parade floats.
"I like flowers and people," Carol said. "They seem to go together."
Former owners James Freebourn and Javier Sotelo bought the store in 2006, adding antiques and giftware to the store's floral offerings. Freebourn died last September, and Sotelo, who has a busy sheetrocking business, wanted to pass the store to someone who would maintain its character — Freebourn's wish, Carol said.
When Sotelo first suggested that she and her husband buy the store, she said she didn't take it seriously. But when she finally brought it up with her husband, Chuck was enthusiastic. That enthusiasm took hold, and they bought the shop on June 5.
"One of the main reasons we did it is because it is fun," Chuck said.
Fun is a theme that creeps into the conversation frequently when the couple talks about the store.
Chuck, 66, is a retired medical researcher and is now the store's flower delivery man — the best job at the store, he says, because of the joy flowers bring people when he shows up on their doorstep.
After years of busy careers and parenthood, Chuck also said it is good to work closely with his wife.
"What's really delightful is to see how much my wife enjoys this. … It is nice to work together at this stage of our lives," he said.
Carol noted that they want the store to be as "green" as possible. During Vashon's growing season, they will work with several Island growers and gardeners and will tap Carol's garden as well, which currently boasts 30 feet of sweet peas. They are looking into buying an electric vehicle for deliveries, and they are offering a free rose to people who bring in their water tubes.
As the two settle in to their ownership role, Carol is clear about her priorities.
"We are a flower shop first," she said.
To that end, she plans to offer courses in floral design and host an in-store lavender festival in July. She has also stocked supplies for people to design their own creations at home. Flower delivery downtown is free now, and the Ahlfors have reduced the delivery fee Island-wide. For people who want longer lasting flowers and fuss-free indoor plants, Blooms offers high-end silk flower arrangements and artificial green plants. The couple plan to network with other Island businesses and become even more deeply rooted in this community, Carol said.
The Ahlfors are joined in this venture by their staff, Mallory Griffith, who tends to the technical aspects of running the store, and designer Sandy Crawford, a lifelong Islander. A high school student will join them soon.
The Ahlfors note that their purchase of the store is returning it to its roots: Husband and wife Myrtle and Larry Wall first opened the store in 1972, then called The Wallflower, selling it 22 years later. Myrtle used to design fabulous window displays, Carol recalled, and she plans to follow in her footsteps, making full use of her high-profile storefront on Vashon's busiest corner. She is already making big plans for the Strawberry Festival, she noted.
The store has come full circle since its first days, the Ahlfors said. It began as a mom and pop store and is one again. They are glad to be part of that circle.

Scaling up climate investments will require innovation in five key areas
Just ask the investors: businesses in emerging markets can no longer afford to ignore the risks posed by the changing climate to their bottom lines. Ranging from increasingly frequent and severe weather events to new regulations and changing consumer preferences, climate change is fundamentally transforming the way we do business. Increasingly, companies and their investors are seeking opportunities to transition to and invest in climate-smart portfolios.

Online dating for Women
Being a single women
doesn't matter if your looking for love online or offline, it does
not change the fact that that you are single, and in some countries
or cultures single women has a negative perception, especially if she
is older. Although we live in a modern society where everyone has
equal rights, some women still find it hard to tell anyone that she
is single or that she is looking for love online. And I guess it's
impossible to change those old fashioned skeptics, it's easier to
ignore them by know that different times call for different measures.
And these are different times. Not even the dating and social sites
are becoming more popular, now there are mobile side of it. People
not only sitting by computers, they carry the virtual world with them
in their smart phones. And this means that what ever your goal are
towards find the one – they are much closer to be completed with
online dating.
Online dating: precautions
Today online dating is different form what it was 10-15 years ago. It's more secure, more trustworthy. Even though, you should consider, that the same people used to lie when you meet at the bar, are also using internet. So internet dating does not solve all the problems. So be careful about the guy you're meeting, try to find out as much as possible before your first date. Like everything else around us have certain rules, dating is also not an exception. Read these online dating rules, just to be on top of things. This will save you time and money, and probably from your worst date ever.
Let's presume that everything is working out fine, you got your profile, some dates for the weekend – good times. What about if you gonna meet a guy, that you would definitely would like to see again? Can you lay the path to the second date on your first? Of course you can, and here's several tips on getting closer to the second date.
new dating rules
It's like we have more dating rules than dates, and just like the kind of rules that clutter up diet books, telling women what to do about how to bring love into their lives might sometimes go against the original purpose of trying to find somebody in the first place: to listen to your heart.
Here are some of the tongue-in-cheek lessons that may be gleaned from my book, condensed down to handy list form. Hopefully they'll help you on your quest to find somebody who doesn't make you want to pull your hair out in fistfuls, and please don't take any of them too seriously.
If You're Trying to Be the Kind of Girl He's Attracted to, He's Not the Kind of Guy You Want
I didn't say he's the kind of guy you're not attracted to. Obviously, he is. That's why you're taking a cab to his neighborhood at 12:30 a.m., and trying to stay awake during the Kubrik movie. But if you have to hide your CDs when he comes over and pretend you don't like The Soup and you find yourself making fewer jokes and leaving your own needs out of the equation (like if it's 10 a.m. and you're starving for breakfast, but you don't say anything), you are setting yourself up for hating this guy even more when it doesn't work out. And it won't. Because if he liked you the way you want a guy to like you, he would be cabbing over to your place and watching The Soup with you and asking if he can make you pancakes.
If He Likes You, You Can Do No Wrong; if He Doesn't, You Can Do No Right
Doing no wrong includes sleeping with a guy on the first date, asking him out first, or e-mailing him a link to a video of a cat playing the piano. That said, if you sleep with him right away, you are betting the house. If it's good, you've just run the risk of falling hard for a guy you don't know at all. And if he's not the right guy, no amount of restraint or adherence to a rule book or chumminess with his friends will ever get him to like you.
Don't Fool Yourself When It's Not Right
So, things aren't clicking with this sweet guy who keeps calling you. So what? Things like chemistry and fate and all the rest actually exist. You don't need to flip out if you're seeing a guy who's really nice to you and you're not attracted to him. It doesn't have to necessarily be because he's nice to you and you hate yourself.
If You Feel Bad, There's Probably a Good Reason
Because you're not insane. You don't need to beat yourself up for feeling bad because you don't think you're supposed to feel bad.
There's a Time and a Place for an Open Mind
Keep your mind open about the kind of guy you might want, but stick to your rigid standards when it comes to your expectations. If you slept together and he didn't call you when you wanted him to, be true to that instinct of that making you angry and tell him to sod off if you're hurt. Don't let anybody talk you out of your high standards as being unrealistic. Just give an extra chance to the guy you see living up to them, even if he doesn't snap your bean right off the bat.
You're the Star
He isn't. If he doesn't know that, it's his problem. Also, his band isn't that good. You could probably do better if you felt like it. You're the prize. Let him win you.
Not single anymore
Great, you found someone and you're both happy. Since this is a journey where only two seats are available we won't bother you a lot. Just a few pointers to remember when dating a creature call man.
Wouldn't be fair if we did not share some insights we found on the internet. Like any other relationship, yours will also have some tabu topics and dos and don'ts. But to give you a heads up, here's a few things you should never say to a man.
to a more interesting topic – bed. This also should be between you
and your man. And hopefully you will talk about it, and explore new
things. But again, if you want some advantage, here's 12
things a man would like you to know.
And to
finish it off, here's a bit long, but hopefully useful information,
on the question that's probably been asked a million times: what
men want in modern relationship.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Multiple explosions aboard two fuel barges near Mobile, Ala., led to a major fire Wednesday night that left three people hospitalized with burns and created a situation so unstable that fire and rescue officials decided to let the fire burn into the night.
Firefighters from Mobile and U.S. Coast Guard officials responded after 8:30 p.m. local time to a pair of explosions involving the gas barges in an area of the Mobile River east of downtown, authorities said.
As they were responding, a third explosion occurred about 9:30 p.m., Mobile Fire and Rescue spokesman Steve Huffman wrote in an email to The Associated Press. A fourth explosion was reported about a half hour later and a fifth explosion was reported after that.
The Coast Guard said early Thursday that a one-nautical-mile safety zone had been established around one barge, which it identified as an "empty compressed natural gas barge that was at the dock for cleaning."
Fire officials said three people were hospitalized with burns. Information on their conditions was not immediately available. Fire officials said they planned to let the barges burn overnight.
The Carnival Triumph, the cruise ship that became disabled in the Gulf of Mexico last February before it was towed to Mobile"s port, was evacuated, said Alan Waugh, who lives at the Fort Conde Inn in downtown Mobile, across the river from the scene of the explosions. Waugh saw the blasts and said throngs of Carnival employees and others were clustered on streets leading toward the river as authorities evacuated the shipyard.
"It literally sounded like bombs going off around. The sky just lit up in orange and red," he said, "We could smell something in the air, we didn"t know if it was gas or smoke." Waugh said he could feel the heat from the explosion and when he came back inside, his partner noticed he had what appeared to be black soot on his face.
U.S. Coast Guard Petty Ofc. Carlos Vega said the initial blast took place in a ship channel near the George C. Wallace Tunnel — which carries traffic from Interstate 10 under the Mobile River. The river runs south past Mobile and into Mobile Bay, which in turn flows into the Gulf of Mexico.
Video from WALA-TV shows flames engulfing a large section of the barge, and a video that a bystander sent to AL.com showed the fiery explosions and billowing smoke over the river.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear, Huffman and Vega said. Huffman wrote that the incident involved two gas barges.
Mobile Fire Chief Steve Dean told AL.com he was confident the fire — which he said involves gas like what would be found at a service station pump — wouldn"t spread to nearby industrial properties, including the shipyard where the Carnival cruise ship is docked.
The explosion comes two months after the 900-foot-long Triumph was towed to Mobile after becoming disabled on the Gulf during a cruise by an engine room fire, leaving thousands of passengers to endure cold food, unsanitary conditions and power outages for several days. The ship is still undergoing repairs there, with many workers living on board.
Carnival didn"t immediately respond to an emailed request for comment late Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the cruise ship was dislodged from its mooring by a windstorm that also caused, in a separate incident, two shipyard workers to fall into Mobile Bay. While one worker was rescued, the other"s body was pulled from the water more than a week later.
Associated Press writer Phillip Lucas in Atlanta contributed to this report.

Boulder Housing Partners broke ground Wednesday on the city's first new affordable senior housing community in more than 30 years.
The $8 million complex at 4990 Moorhead Ave. is slated to open early next year, offering housing only to those who are at least 62 years old and earn between about $25,000 and $44,000 annually. The three-story, 59-unit complex is designed to provide relief to many low- and middle-income seniors in Boulder, where there are currently only 12 two-bedroom apartments serving their demographic.
"It's a great day," said Elisabeth Borden, Boulder County's former manager of aging services. "There are a lot of people that can't afford to stay here. It's really nice to have an option for them."
Though Borden and other advocates for affordable senior housing say the new complex will help address a growing need in Boulder, many at Wednesday's groundbreaking described it as a mere "dent." With nearly 10,000 Americans turning 65 everyday, the need for affordable senior housing is more pressing than ever.
"We understand that the demand for elderly housing is currently big and will only become much bigger," said Betsey Martens, executive director of Boulder Housing Partners. "There's an enormous demand for new apartments in this price range"
According to a recent report by Borden, who is now principal of Boulder research and marketing firm The Highland Group, local housing units for low-income seniors have both decreased in number and deteriorated in quality. Despite the city's growing elderly population, Boulder Housing Partners' new complex will be the first affordable senior housing built in Boulder since 1982.
"Our market hasn't delivered this product in 30-plus years, so it was long, long overdue," Martens said. "Most of the affordable senior housing inventory in Boulder is 30 to 40 years old, and most don't serve seniors earning 50 to 60 percent of area median income."
City Councilwoman Suzy Ageton said the city is interested in expanding its portfolio of affordable housing, with extra attention paid to aging local residents.
"Because of the baby boomers, this need is growing dramatically. We didn't see the product that was going to serve them," said Ageton, adding that, "we're going to have to come to terms what amount of affordable housing we're going to be able to sustain in this community."
While the Boulder Housing Partners complex is economically appealing, its amenities will also be state-of-the-art.
The community will be extremely energy efficient, with residents being able to track the building's energy use and solar generation through in-unit monitoring devices. They will also have access to a catering kitchen, Internet café, lounges, a variety of senior-oriented enrichment and fitness programs, and free local and regional bus passes to take advantage of local public transit and the nearby Table Mesa Park-n-Ride.
"The transit piece is really important," Borden said. "Increasingly, we're going to have huge proportions of people who are stuck and can't drive."
Boasting cheap rent and a wealth of amenities, Boulder Housing Partners' complex is seemingly a sign of hope for low- and middle-income Boulder residents, but Martens said the fight for affordable senior housing is far from over.
"Both for Boulder Housing Partners and City Council, it's all about assuring that Boulder remains an inclusionary community, and that people who have lived in Boulder their whole lives can live their older years here," she said. "We're celebrating these 59 (units) today, but there's more to come for sure."
