Q: What should I give the tech head on my list?
A: Something cool and unusual that he or she wouldn't think of. It gets tricky because you don't want to blow out your bank account, and because one person's "cool and unusual" is another's "dire and dreadful."
So buying a phone, tablet, video game system or laptop for someone is great if you know the model your gadget lover wants. But if you don't, you can always bring oohs and ahhs with just the right accessory that adds more joy to your gift recipient's favorite toy.
THE iPHONE 4 FREAK:
The Kogeto Dot ($79; kogeto.com) definitely fits the description of "something cool and unusual that he or she wouldn't think of." It's a plastic lens that snaps over the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S and lets the phone capture video in 360 degrees, video that can be easily shared on Facebook, Twitter or by email.
If you receive a video that someone shot while walking through Times Square, you can spin the point of view around (via click-drag on a computer or by swiping the video on your phone). Watch the LED billboards on the left, then pivot your view to see the person behind the camera, then pivot again to see other tourists and traffic on the right. To get a sense of what I'm yammering about, check out kogeto.com/dotspots.
It's great for someone who loves to shoot videos on the go (it's awful in low-light situations) and you'll get a kick out of seeing their videos in a whole new way.
The WingStand ($14.95; wingstand.com) is a humble idea that packs a lot of wow. Two curved pieces of sturdy plastic sit on a tabletop or other flat, horizontal surface and hold that new tablet at a comfortable reading angle. The WingStand designed to be used with a portable keyboard that makes your tablet or phone feel more like a laptop, but it looks and works great by itself.
The viewing angle doesn't adjust, but the WingStand is stable and securely holds a tablet or phone even while the device is being swiped. The two parts snap together so they aren't easily misplaced. This is one find your gift recipient soon will be thanking you for over and over.
Know someone who has high-speed Internet but won't go wireless, so the computer is stuck in the same room as the modem? Give that person freedom with the Netgear Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit ($76.75; amazon.com). Plug one adapter into an outlet near the modem, then plug the other adapter into an outlet in any other room in the house; then connect the modem to the first adapter and the computer to another adapter and just like that, instant high-speed network.
So if the modem and computer have always been in the living room, now the modem can stay put and the computer can go to the bedroom, kitchen, even the bathroom (stay away from that tub, though!). A powerline connection is fast, compared to a wireless connection, so web pages load nearly instantly, and there are no settings to fool with, and the AV 200 lets you press a button to secure your data from would-be snoopers.
The AV 200 is on sale because a newer model is expected soon, but it's a great way to give a little more freedom of movement to someone with high-speed Internet but no wireless setup.
Do you have a tech question? Send a note to Eric Gwinn at firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to include your name, location and a way to reach you if we need more information -- and your question, of course.

The Rockford School District is digging deep into its history for the second annual Champions Ball and Hall of Fame inductions at Radisson on Saturday.
The event started last year with six inductees, including the 1974 East football team and the 1955-1956 West boys basketball teams.
This year, the district will honor the 1939 boys basketball team from the original Rockford High School. Behind local coaching legend James Laude, the team won the IHSA state championship that year when it was still only a one-class system. The only other Rockford teams to win state titles since then were the 1955 and 1956 West teams.
Accepting on the team's behalf will be the last living member: Rockford resident Keith Mulford. Also on Saturday, Laude will be inducted in the coaches category. Laude started the boys basketball program at East when the schools split into East and West in 1940. Current East coach Roy Sackmaster will present the award to members of Laude's last team.
Ernie Kent, the all-state basketball player from West who went on to have a successful coaching career with the University of Oregon, will serve as guest speaker. Kent and former East track and field standout Donna Cargill will be inducted as individual athletes, joining last year's inaugural inductees, Jerry Latin and Lisa Coole.
The evening will also include a tribute to Brad "Muzzy" Muzzarelli, who will be inducted into the Community Service category. Muzzy served as East's boys basketball and football manager for 38 years before dying of cancer in 2009. Genelle Samuelson received this award last year.
"We have an incredible lineup of inductees and presenters this year, so it should be avery memorable evening," said Mat Parker, the director of athletic activities and program development for Rockford Public Schools. "The Champions Ball sold out and was a huge success in its first year. It's great to see the community get behind Rockford Public Schools athletics by supporting events like this and celebrating our rich history in athletics."
Hosted by WZOK's Steve Shannon, the event includes, dinner, a silent auction, and music from the Guilford Jazz Band. All proceeds go to the Rockford Sports Coalition and RPS athletics.
Tickets are $75 per person or $525 for a table of eight and can be ordered online at rockfordsportscoalition.org, or by emailing email@example.com.

Author with local roots writes what she likes to read
By BEN KLEINE
Staff writer
Sara Vinduska sent manuscripts of her first book "Reflections" to multiple publishing agents. Some liked her book, but their favorable reviews were packaged with conditions. They wanted the book to have the two love interests together on a higher percentage of pages. They wanted less suspense and more action to fit the industry standard for romance suspense novels.
Instead of embarking on a tedious set of rewrites to meet those specifications, Vinduska published the book using Create Space, a company affiliated with Amazon.com. While the book features a Spartan cover and presentation, it is still available in bookstores nationwide without Vinduska having to compromise.
Sounds like an artist defeating a cynical industry by circumventing it altogether, right? That narrative is a little too simple.
Vinduska still works in the confines of a genre. The title romantic-suspense carries built-in expectations from readers. Vinduska knows this because she was a reader first, a fan of Nora Roberts and Katherine Colter. She said she feels tied to the romantic-suspense style. She does not want to write any other way.
Those expectations include a balance between the realistic aspects of a story and stretching the boundaries. It's a simultaneous tightrope of readers losing themselves in a story real enough to draw them in, yet it provides the vehicle for escapism they are craving.
"Reflections" opens with her male main character, Lash Brogan, receiving the Academy Award for best actor, only the audience at the Kodak Theater witnesses the statue going to an empty seat. Brogan – a ruggedly handsome, blue-eyed Irish actor – is hundreds of miles away being tortured in a basement in Colorado. Using his captors' carelessness against them, Brogan attacks an armed goon. He is able to knock the pistol to the floor, secure it in the struggle, and then kill both guards. He escapes into the mountainous wilderness and trudges through miles of snow before falling on the property of Justine McBride, a beautiful physical therapist for the nearby small-town hospital. McBride nurses Brogan back to health and in the process, they fall hopelessly in love.
"What if a normal woman ends up rescuing and falling in love with a celebrity?" Vinduska said of the premise of "Reflections."
The story sounds a little farfetched and that's the point. Vinduska strode the line between tightly researched circumstances and the scenes that are over the top. She said she studied the Hollywood film making process to give Brogan a more accurate vocabulary. When McBride gives a description of her job at the hospital, it smacks of realism. Vinduska said she writes out of order, a self-described seat-of-the-panster. It was scenes like Brogan's escape or the romantic encounter in Brogan's wine cellar that Vinduska wrote first.
There's also the balance between writing what you know but also including the unfamiliar to give a work a more exotic feel. Georgetown, Colo., is not much different than Sandpoint, Idaho, where Vinduska lives. She was originally a Marion County resident, the daughter of Terry and Cindy Vinduska. Brogan's encounter in the small-town grocery clerk could have easily happened at Carlsons'.
However, the scene where FBI agents visit the mansion of a Los Angeles Mafia tough is a little less sharp.
McBride has a career much like Vinduska's. Vinduska is an assistant branch manager for Bank of America. The reader could picture McBride making natural soap or practicing yoga, two of Vinduska's preferred hobbies. The descriptions of FBI agents and ex-Navy Seal bodyguards seem a little less reliable.
It's the combination of realism and fantasy that makes books fun for Vinduska.
Back to those agents, Vinduska said she has tried to match the Harlequin mold, but that's not her style. She feels the writers that bend those constraints are the most successful authors anyway.
"For me personally, I write the story I want to write," she said. "I write what I like to read."
She does not want to be a one-book wonder. The writing process for "Reflections started seven years ago. She has another book that almost complete. She has several more installments using the characters from "Reflections" in the works. She has been keeping files of ideas for each character that have gradually grown into prospective books.

Gold crossed over the $1700 mark today on news of more stimulus measures by the Federal Reserve. This news pushed the dollar down; Gold played its usual inverse position by jumping up several days in a row.
Precious metals started the week with a climb that was based on European news. Negotiations between Greece and private debt holders are still under way. Sources close to the situation report a deal is close and private bondholders stand to take a loss of between 65 to 70 percent.
The Federal Reserve officially announced that the interest rates will not be raised until at least 2014. The Fed believes that the unemployment rate still needs to be controlled. It anticipates that inflation will remain consistent with firm prices. The Federal Reserve's actions indicate that they are concerned about a struggling economy, and unfortunately, this depresses the value of the dollar which had been rising compared to the euro. Federal Reserve observers are split on whether there will be another round of quantitative easing. According to the CNBC survey in January, about half of the respondents believe there will be a QE3, while 44 percent say no. These same respondents are optimistic on the economy, as long as the European crisis does not turn for the worse and create a significant global event.
The International Monetary Fund cut its global forecast of 2012 growth from 4% to 3.3%, and already is dropping its projected growth forecast for 2013 from 4.5% to 3.9%. Those forecasts are still not set; they are dependent on the efforts of the 17-country euro zone coming together to fight financial turmoil. The IMF has also called on the European Central Bank and other countries to support the euro zone with additional funding. In an update, the IMF said, "The near-term outlook has noticeably deteriorated … The global recovery is threatened by intensifying strains in the euro area and frailties elsewhere."
Gold: Spot Gold prices opened this week at $1,678.40. The high was on Friday, 27th at $1,738.20, while the low for the week occurred on Wednesday, Jan. 25th, $1,649.20. Gold ended the week up $60.50 at $1,738.90. This week, the most popular Gold bullion products were 2012 Gold American Eagles, 1 oz. Pamp Suisse Gold Bars, and 2012 1 oz. Gold Maple Leafs.
Silver: Spot Silver prices opened this week at $32.37. Silver reached a high of $33.94 on Friday, Jan. 27th, while this week's low for Silver occurred on Wednesday, Jan. 25th at $31.53. Silver ended the week up $1.67 at $34.04 The most popular Silver products on APMEX.com this week were 2012 Silver American Eagles, 2012 Silver Maple Leafs, 1 oz. Silver Buffalo Rounds and 10 oz. APMEX Silver Bars.
Platinum: Spot Platinum prices opened this week at $1,565.00 and ended the week up $60.80 at $1625.80. Popular Platinum products this week included, 1 oz. Platinum Bars, 1/10 oz. Platinum American Eagles, and 1 oz. Platinum American Eagles.
Palladium: Spot Palladium prices opened this week at $687.80 and ended the week up $3.60 at $691.40. Palladium investors preferred 1 oz. Pamp Suisse Palladium Bars and Palladium Canadian Maple Leafs this week at APMEX.com.
The unusual Silver bullion coin, the Silver Kookaburra, was released in 1990 by the Perth Mint of Australia. These beautiful coins celebrate the interesting bird native to Australia. Due to the variety of designs and privy marks available on the Silver Kookaburra coins, these are very popular among collectors who buy Silver coins.
Each 1 oz. Australian Silver Kookaburra contains .999-fine Silver and includes proof-like frosting in the central design. The obverse features a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and lists the face value of the coin. The reverse displays the kookaburra. Every year, the coin has a slightly different design, which makes the Silver Kookaburra coins attractive to collectors. From 1990 through 2010, only 300,000 coins were minted each year; the 2011 and 2012 versions have mintages of just 500,000.
The Perth Mint originally began in 1899 as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint in order to help supply the Gold sovereigns and half sovereigns, which were used as everyday circulating coins throughout the British Empire. In 1970, control of the mint passed from Britain to the Western Australian Government.

Mortgage Rate Trend Index
This week, 10% of the industry experts surveyed by Bankrate.com believe mortgage rates will rise over the next week or so, 70% think rates will fall and 20% believe rates will remain relatively unchanged.
WASHINGTON – Sept. 27, 2013 – Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell this week to their lowest point in two months. The decline follows the Federal Reserve's decision last week to hold off slowing its monthly bond purchases.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan dropped to 4.32 percent from 4.50 percent last week. The average on the 15-year fixed loan declined to 3.37 percent from 3.54 percent.
Both are the lowest averages since July 25.
Mortgage rates are nearly a full percentage point higher than in May, when the Fed first signaled it might slow its $85-billion-a-month in bond buys. But last week the Fed kept the pace steady after lowering its outlook for economic growth.
The bond purchases are intended to lower long-term interest rates, including mortgage rates.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was steady at 0.7 point. The fee for a 15-year loan also was unchanged at 0.7 point.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage slipped to 2.63 percent from 2.65 percent. The fee was unchanged at 0.4 point.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage dipped to 3.07 percent from 3.11 percent. The fee held at 0.5 point.

Looking to get hired can be a painstaking experience, one full of rejection. But rather than seeing this rejection as another blow to your self-confidence, approach it as an opportunity to market yourself better.
That includes treating your online activity much more seriously. Your reputation on social media now plays an important role in determining whether employers should ask you to join their team. So promote yourself effectively by publishing high-quality and thoughtful posts on your online profiles. This will help you you strengthen your presence on the Web, increasing your chances of getting a job.
Here are three ways to leverage your skills online:
1. Use your real name
It's understandable that you prefer to hide behind an obscure username and keep your true identity a secret. But consider the advantages of using your real name for your email and social profiles. You'll add positive branding to your name, which can greatly affect search results when someone searches for you.
Start by customizing your URL on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Using a "vanity" URL helps you remain consistent with your brand name and breed familiarity across all your social media profiles. Always keep this in mind when creating new profiles on different sites.
2. Create an online portfolio and begin blogging
Regardless of your job or industry, developing an online portfolio provides employers and headhunters with quick access to your resume and sample work. Include links to works you have published online for easy reference.
Owning a blog allows you to talk about your expertise and share valuable information with readers interested in your field or industry. Through consistent blogging, you help yourself become an authority in your field of interest, which can greatly affect your chances of getting employed.
Sites where you can create your online portfolio include BrandYourself and About.me. Sites like WordPress, Blogger and Weebly can help you set up a free blog to voice your professional opinion.
3. Engage
The online world is not just a place to update your status messages, play the latest Zynga game and stick to your comfort zone. Stop beating around the bush and do something productive online to benefit your professional life.
Here are a few ideas:
- Browse Q&A sites like Quora or Yahoo! Answers and search for questions related to your expertise. Aside from providing invaluable insight, also ask questions to elicit conversation.
- Search for blogs and comment on posts related to your industry. This will help you build relationships with bloggers you can talk to about job-related topics. Not sure where to start? Try Topsy, Social Mention and Google Blog Search.
- Join groups on LinkedIn to share and discuss your latest blog posts, comments and ideas about the industry with like-minded professionals.
The idea here is to stay proactive, even when the chips are down. Unemployment can be a drag, but it will be more so if you let yourself get defeated by another obstacle on your way to getting hired.
By following the tips featured above, you can remain competitive—if not gain an advantage—in the market by keeping your online presence in tip-top shape and refining the edges of your overall portfolio.

Activities in Tallinn
Boasting an 800-year-old past, Tallinn is a patchwork of historic areas that are perfect for those who want to get a glimpse of Soviet-era life, or simply to spend time in the great outdoors. The city's pride and joy is its Medieval Old Town, but equally enchanting is the Kadriorg district, a throwback to the time when Estonia was ruled by Russian tsars.
Tallinn is full of museums, ranging from world-class history and art museums unique museums that specialise in old-fashioned dolls, antique cameras, musical instruments and even sea mines. Museum buffs should consider buying a Tallinn Card, which provides each guest free entrance to most of the city's museums. Note that many museums in Estonia are closed on Mondays and/or Tuesdays.
A variety of guided and self-guided tours are available in Tallinn. These tours include everything from ghost walks to pub crawls. Many of these tours require advance booking.
Tallinn is a city that stays connected with its history, with many neighbourhoods providing excellent snapshots into various era. To see where the city is heading in the 21st century, take a stroll through the Rotermann Quarter, discover Tallinn's new public gathering spot, Freedom Square, or visit the nation's premier Art Museum of Estonia.
Catholic, Lutheran, Russian Orthodox and Jewish houses of worship have played a central role in Tallinn's cultural life since German crusaders arrived in the country in the early 13th century. The Medieval-built churches were known to be magnificent projects that drew the city's best artistic talent. Today, many of the city's churches are true architectural treasures, with impressive, must-see interiors.
Green Areas
Guests do not have to go far to find wide open spaces in Tallinn. The city is filled with well-maintained parks and other relaxing patches of greenery. There are also seaside promenades and multiple beaches, all of which offer ample opportunities for strolling or relaxing.
Visitors who arrive within a few weeks of the summer solstice (21 Jun) have the added bonus of experiencing the White Nights, when the sun sets just before midnight and rises again around 04:00.
Tallinn's Surroundings
A number of fantastic day trips are available for guests that would like to learn more about nature and history in Estonia. From the islands off the coast of Tallinn to vast national park areas to charming nearby towns, there are plenty of fascinating options.

When I started my computer consulting business, I spent about $150 in startup costs. I printed some flyers, had some business cards made, and had a lawyer check over a few documents. That's it.
When I started Money360, I spent even less. I spent somewhere around $40 launching the site, all told.
In both of these cases, it was not a big initial investment that led to success. The ingredients for success were found elsewhere.
This isn't just my experience, either. Recently, I was reading Chris Guillebeau's book The $100 Startup and it was loaded with stories very similar to mine. People launch side businesses all the time with very little money.
Chris draws a lot of conclusions about starting such side businesses, but from my perspective, success with a side business comes down to a handful of things.
With each side business I've found success with, I've started with one simple question: what do I want?
If you look at any business out there that works, large or small, they're all doing the same thing. They're taking care of something that someone wants.
If I find myself looking for something and not finding it, that means I want this thing but, for some reason, it's not easily available to me. If there's something I want enough that I'd be willing to pay for it – even a little bit – but it's not something I can get right now, there's a side business waiting to happen.
For example, if you love reading fantasy novels but you wish you could find a good one with a truly independent female protagonist, you're probably not alone. Why not try writing one?
If you'd love for someone to come to your door, pick up a bag of laundry, wash and fold it, then return it to you, you're probably not alone. Why not start this business?
Think about items and services you would like to have but don't. That's the start of any business.
More than money, the biggest investment that a person can make in their side business is time. If you want to succeed, expect to put in a lot of hours early on with very little return on your money. Think pennies per hour for a very long time.
Many people simply aren't willing to commit a lot of time and effort without much return. For some people, they have to be passionate about what they're doing beyond merely running a business. Others will get by purely on patience. Many others simply won't make it.
Assume you'll be spending a lot of hours at this without making a lot of money. You'll be doing things like creating content, networking with others, promoting your business, learning a new skill, learning about a particular supply chain, managing a Kickstarter project, or something like that. These things won't earn you much money at all (assuming they earn you anything, which is a big "if").
If you're not about to spend time without an immediate financial return on that time, then starting a side business probably isn't for you.
No matter how good your idea or how much effort you put in, sometimes things just don't launch. You don't have customers. You don't have readers. You have a giant creative block.
Can you step back and look critically at what's going on? What's wrong with the situation? Can those things that are wrong be fixed? Can they be incorporated into the plans for what comes next?
Sometimes, the best solution is to try again. Sometimes, the best solution is to walk away and try something new. Sometimes, the best solution is to keep plugging away.
In each of those cases, re-evaluating the situation for problems and solutions is key. You have to step back regularly and ask yourself what's going right, what's going wrong, and whether the wrongs can be fixed.
Many (if not most) modern side businesses do not need money. They need an idea, they need time, and they need the willingness to re-evaluate. If you bring those things to the table over and over again, you can start something of your very own, whether it's just a small side business to bring in a few bucks or the birth of a big enterprise.

Celebrity chef Paula Deen has been preaching the gospel of butter since I've heard of her. People (my mother) used to extol the virtues of Deen's cuisine but I always said that wasn't great cooking; anything tastes good with a half a pound of butter in it.
Now Paula Deen has Type 2 diabetes, a very serious, life-threatening disease. And butter isn't the sole reason she has diabetes. There's all that sugar and flour and frying from all her recipes, and subsequent weight gain, and maybe a family history.
And it is not funny.
She's known this for awhile (three years). And apparently she's been huddling with her people to come up with a way to make diabetes, well, marketable. Y'all.
She's now the spokeswoman for … no, not the American Diabetes Association. She's shilling for Norvo Nordisk, probably a fine pharmaceutical company. But, you know, talk about the cherry on top. She's making a buck off this now? Have you no shame, darlin'?
Today she unveiled her new direction on the Today Show (I'll translate since I'm fluent in cloying Southern BS):
- "I've always encouraged moderation" (There were a few episodes where I actually cackled with shame over plating up a triple-sized piece of pie for myself)
- "Diabetes is not a death sentence" (It's not like you're gonna die, hon! Unless you don't have insurance. You can live very well with diabetes, and in style, too, with money from the diabetes drug company)
- "Go to our website. I'm gonna be there for you" (Come on down, y'all, I'm on a video at this drug company website where I try to convince you medications are the answer)
Anyway, this explains her son Bobby Deen's new show Not My Mama's Meals on the Cooking Channel, in which he lightens up his mama's recipes.
So here's my favorite quote from this interview with Al Roker:
"I wanted to bring something to the table when I came forward. I've always been one to think that I bring hope."
(Smothered in gravy, to be sure.)

A major touring exhibition on the Lewis Chessmen was made possible by a partnership between the British Museum and National Museums Scotland (NMS). The exhibition includes 30 chess pieces in total, 24 from the British Museum and six from NMS.
The Lewis Chessmen, discovered on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides in 1831, are one of the highlights of the British Museum collection. They consist of elaborately worked walrus ivory and whales' teeth in the form of seated kings and queens, mitred bishops, knights on their mounts, standing warders and obelisk-shaped pawns. The exhibition looks at the mystery and intrigue surrounding the chessmen, exploring the stories of their discovery and how the characters reflected society at the time they were made.
The Lewis Chessmen in the British Museum collection have toured extensively across the UK and internationally. They were lent to Museum nan Eilean, Stornoway and the National Museum of Scotland in 1995-6. Selected objects also travelled the UK as part of the special exhibition Across the Board between 2005-7 and internationally as part of the exhibition Treasures of the British Museum, where they were seen by 2.7 million people in over 10 venues.

Head on over to SB Nation's Longform and check out this beautiful piece of work by Michael Graff.
His legs once made him great. Every bull rider knows that the key to riding an animal whose sole purpose is to toss you straight to cowboy heaven is this: balance. And the key to balance is keeping your knees as close together as possible. But if you wobble, if you lose your balance, the emergency plan is to spur – to take the star on the heel of your boot, dig it into the thick hide, and hang on for your riding life with your legs.
Jerome Davis was able to do both simultaneously. He could keep his knees close together, almost tight enough to squeeze a soccer ball in between them, while pointing his toes directly sideways.
"It's the weirdest shit I've ever seen," says J.B. Mauney, one of the top bull riders in the world today. "I can't even do it standing on the ground."

This blog piece is written by the young and keen Victoria Burton, who rashly agreed to come away with the Museum's team of dipterists and the Dipterists Forum to Speyside in Scotland....here is her story.
Hello, I'm Victoria and I have just finished an MSc in Taxonomy and Biodiversity, run here at the Natural History Museum, London.
I am also a fly fan, so when Erica mentioned there may be a space on the Museum's collection trip to Scotland with the Dipterists Forum I had to tag along! As a born and bred Southron this was my first trip over the border and a great opportunity to see some of the habitats and species which are not found 'down south'.
The trip started on a Saturday in September with an early meet up at the Museum to pack equipment into our hired people carrier or 'van' as it became affectionately known, before the long drive north. This was also a good opportunity to get to know the fellow dipterists I would be staying with for the next week and their dipteron predilections:
- Duncan, our native interpreter/navigator.
- 'New boy' Dan, fan of bristly flies.
- Zoe, who spent a lot of time paddling for simuliids.
- Vladimir, fungus gnat aficionado.
- Not forgetting 'The Boss' Erica herself whom we rescued from the side of road after she was rudely dumped by an incompetent taxi driver!
After democratically deciding who would be sharing a room, copious wine and conversation were had before I retired, excited for my first visit into the wilds of Scotland. This began with being introduced to Dipterists Forum members and the customary discussion over maps.
Suggestions for a collective noun for dipterists?
We started with the Rothiemurchus Estate and on my first step into the Caledonian pine forest I was immediately struck by the wonderful scent of pine. The dipterists disappeared in all directions, and I began the sweep-stick head in net-poot ritual, although I had many escapes being distracted by the yummy bilberries (or blaeberries as they are known here) appearing in my net.
There were lots of the big hoverfly Sericomyia silentis, the first time I had seen live individuals; this impressive hoverfly became a familiar sight over the week, and always made a big fuss when caught in a net.
Sericomyia silentis having a wash and brush up on a leaf.
A long day of diptera in the field is inevitably followed by a long evening with diptera in the laboratory and so with a little bit of table rearrangement we soon had a makeshift lab in our cottage.
Must be the cosiest 'lab' I have ever worked in.
Our second day took us to Inshriach Forest, first stop Uath Lochans. These lochans, which our 'native' informed us meant 'little lochs' were breathtakingly still in the morning light, with a perfect reflection of the sky and mountains.
The beautiful Uath Lochans.
Around the lochans grew a colourful springy patchwork of heaths and other plants, mosses and lichens, dotted about with fungi including bright red Russula.
Bright red Russula fungi.
A handy boardwalk has been constructed around the boggy edges of the Lochans, from which I swept an amazing little fly. Running around in the pooter it looked like it was wearing boxing gloves and I was soon informed it was a shore fly (Ephydridae) called Ochthera.
Back in the lab I was encouraged to unhinge its raptorial forelegs, which inspire its common name, mantis fly. There is a lovely description in Colyer and Hammond's Flies of the British Isles in their engaging style describing its "terrible fore-legs" with "tibiae curved and folded back upon the femora like the blade of a pocket knife, forming a trap from which the unhappy victim has little hope of escaping".
Raptorial forelegs occur widely in insects, famously in the mantids, but also other groups of flies such as the hybotid dance flies which we found lots of during the week, and mantisflies, which confusingly are neither mantids nor flies but in the order Neuroptera.
The mantis fly Ochthera (probably O. mantis).
On day three we visited sites around Carrbridge, where I swept my first ever hippoboscid in Beananach Wood - these were Lipoptena cervi, the deer ked. They are very strange, flattened flies resembling lice, and must look even more louse-like when they settle down on a host and shed their wings; indeed Carl Linneaus originally classified them with headlice. Another peculiarity is that the females produce just one big larva at a time, nourishing it mammal-style inside their body, giving birth just when it is ready to pupate – aw.
Lipoptena cervi - I went a bit lepidopterist with this specimen, the wings are normally held over the abdomen, but you do get to see its bristly bum.
On Wednesday we headed to the seaside to visit Culbin Sands but unfortunately the weather was miserable (dreich in Scots-speak) so a midweek day off was announced.
Dan and Vladimir make a valiant effort to catch seaweed-inhabiting flies.
We met up with Duncan's mum Sheena, aunty Moira, and friend for some tea and cake in Elgin before being brought to meet the Gordon clan and fed fresh homemade drop scones (Scotch pancakes) complete with homemade fruit preserves – heavenly!
Duncan's Aunty Moira and scones.
More deliciousness was to come when it was revealed that Duncan's cousin Euan worked for BenRiach local distillery, so before long we were whisked off for a private tour and tasting session! Despite (or maybe because of) all the whiskey I managed my turn to cook dinner and all survived.
Euan presiding over the tasting session (whisky taxonomy?).
"And not a single fly was caught that day…" (Actually we did get a few!)
The fourth day of our trip arrived with better weather and surprisingly few sore heads, and we headed off to Insh Marshes which I was much looking forward to since I had heard great things about it, and I was certainly not disappointed. It was one of those sites that whisper "I'm special".
On sorting my catch later I found my first ever pipunculid, or big-headed fly, which I like to describe as "massive head, all eyes". Their heads are also notorious for falling off, so I was quite proud when I managed to micropin my specimen without casualty, only for this to be dashed when I later staged it.
Zoe and Erica sweeping their way along a valley in Insh Marshes.
Our last collecting day took us to some calcareous sites, and after nearly a week of acidic habitats it was quite a contrast to see some calcicole plants, many of which I am very familiar with, living as I do between two great ridges of chalk in Hampshire. Our first site was Fodderletter, a tiny but wonderful unimproved wetland SSSI huddled away on the Glen Livet Estate. Here we found lots of lovely big blowflies feeding on ragwort flowers, including the giant Cynomya mortuorum which caused much excitement, only slightly deadened by Alan Stubbs stating "oh yes it is quite common in Scotland".
Handsome male Cynomya mortuorum with its lovely orange face and 'mane'.
I was fortunate to catch a female on our next site, Creag Chalcaidh Quarry near Tomintoul. This was an intriguing site with springs spilling through the old quarry walls, producing chalky mats of algae. There were lots of unusual craneflies, which I don't yet 'do' - their tendency for legs to fall off bothers my perfectionist nature, although this is soon to be addressed on a cranefly identification course.
Alan hunting rare craneflies in classic dipterist pose.
Our final site of the day, and indeed the trip was Bochel Wood, where I managed to catch an empid along with its meal, a bibionid. Since dipterists are, in my partner's words "obsessed with genitalia" it would be remiss if I didn't include a photograph of the impressive equipment possessed by this Rhamphomyia.
Crazy, crazy genitals…
On that note I'd better hand back to Erica, after raising a wee dram to great food, drink and company, and above all great flies!

My New Zealand tour: A tourist tells her story
Marianne from Australia has been kind enough to share the story of her New Zealand tour.
So you've decided you want to go to New Zealand. Of course you have!
It's a land of breathtaking scenery, home of the bungy jump, the Hobbit and the best-named bird in the entire world (the Morepork, of course).
Three years ago I made the same decision and stumbled across Haka Tours after about five seconds of internet searching. Three tours later, they've asked me to say a bit about tour life from a traveller's point of view.
Why choose a small group tour? Why not arrange everything yourself?
I wanted to get off the beaten track, which is difficult to do if you've never bothered to get your driver's licence :) I figured Haka Tours could get me to lots of interesting places without being at the mercy of bus & train timetables - if you don't have much holiday time it's frustrating to spend half of your trip hanging around at bus stops or rushing around to make travel connections.
Also, I didn't have anyone to travel with and liked the idea of travelling with a bunch of people from all over the world, having people to share experiences with.
What were your tour buddies like?
Amazing! They couldn't have been better, not unless Ryan Gosling turned up on the bus. On my three tours with Haka each group has been very different each but I loved them all. I am still in touch with many of them and have caught up with a few after the tours ended. I've had the pleasure of travelling with an incredible range of people - students, backpackers, teachers, firefighters, doctors, farmers, American servicemen, musicians, and even a stone-skimming champion! The vibe has always been laid back & happy, I've never been in a group where anyone clashed. The guides foster a really good atmosphere - they're so easy going, it rubs off heaps! By the end of day one it feels like you've known each other forever.
What age were the other tour guests? Am I too old?
I doubt it! If you've got an open mind, you're up for a giggle, and you want a bit of adventure, then age is just a number, right? The average age on the tours I did would probably be mid to late twenties but there were 18-year-olds and fifty somethings too, and everyone got along great. The only time I felt old was after one too many teapot cocktails at the World Bar (RIP), but that's another story. Will you fit in? Absolutely - if you've got a sense of humour, a thirst for adventure and an open mind then the rest of it doesn't matter at all.
There are so many tour companies to choose from! Why'd you pick Haka Tours?
I seriously googled something like "Best New Zealand adventure tour" and it appeared in the first few listings The Haka website stood out from the other companies cos it was friendly, down to earth, and a bit cheeky - they seemed like people I'd want to travel with!
Cheers, Marianne

Stop idling--don't give Bahrain the Grand Prix
The crackdown in Bahrain shows no sign of relenting. More than 800 people have been detained and four have already died in police custody.
Formula 1 auto racing is one of the most-watched sporting events in the world, with over half a billion viewers last year. This year's spring season was set to open with the Bahrain Grand Prix, but the crackdown caused F1 to postpone its 2011 race. F1 needs to send the right message to the Bahraini regime—that the world does not stand with repressive governments.
Authorities will decide tomorrow, June 3, whether to grant Bahrain a delayed 2011 race. Continuing attacks on peaceful protesters show Bahrain is incapable of hosting a major international sporting event and should not be rewarded for abusing human rights. Granting the Grand Prix to a repressive regime will disappoint F1 fans everywhere. It should not turn a blind eye to torture, disappearances, and deaths of peaceful protesters.
Sign the petition and send a message to CEO Bernie Ecclestone. Tell him to set Formula 1 on the right track by canceling the Bahrain Grand Prix.

For easy eating on a picnic, chicken thighs and drumsticks are great because they can be firmly grasped without the use of utensils. This moist and flavorful recipe is delicious either warm or cold.
Be sure to start the chicken marinating at least 30 minutes ahead.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- 2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
- 4 large garlic cloves, lightly crushed with the side of a chef's knife, then peeled
- 8 chicken thighs and 8 chicken drumsticks (5 pounds total), skin on
- Cooking oil spray
- 1 1/2 cups plain dried bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- In large bowl, combine buttermilk and garlic. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
- Arrange rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line large shallow baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking oil. In large bowl, combine bread crumbs, oregano, basil, marjoram, salt, and pepper; toss well to blend.
- Drain chicken and discard buttermilk. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken in bread crumbs until well coated, then place, skin side up, on baking sheet. Spray pieces lightly with cooking oil.
- Bake chicken until golden and cooked through, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
- Transportation tips:
- If you cook the chicken just before leaving, you can transport it warm, uncovered, in a basket lined with foil and paper towels. If you make it a day ahead, let it cool, then refrigerate it overnight. Pack the cold chicken in a covered plastic container lined with parchment paper.

10 Essential Films from 'EW"s 'Best Movies You've Never Seen' List
Last week, Entertainment Weekly published a list of the 50 Greatest Movies You've Never Seen from the past two decades. Stars like Ryan Gosling, Kate Winslet, and Emily Blunt chose several of the selections. EW hasn't ranked the list, because "ranking movies that are already underrated just seems cruel." We can't say we agree with all of their choices — and we wonder if the least-seen films actually predate the past 20 years — but we've scoured the massive listing for the essentials so you don't have to. These are some of our favorites. Tell us what movies inspired you to update your Netflix queue, or which of the 50 films you'd have chosen instead.
Seven-years worth of footage focusing on the rise of two 1990's alt neo-psych groups alone does not a documentary make. However, when that footage reveals the uneasy friendship and famous rivalry between Courtney Taylor-Taylor of The Dandy Warhols and Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre something fascinating happens. You don't have to know a damn thing about either band to appreciate Oni Timoner's 2004 film Dig!, since the movie's "characters" — particularly the proudly divisive Newcombe and his crew — are completely captivating. There's also something great about seeing a story unfold in real-time. Timoner was there for all the highs and lows as they happened — and there are many.


text: Home- Faculty Search- Faculty Directory- Ken Valente Colgate Directory FACULTY DETAIL < BACK TO RESULTS Ken ValenteProfessor of Mathematics and LGBTQ Studies; Chair, Department of Mathematics Mathematics , 205 McGregory Hall p firstname.lastname@example.com Professional website When I came to Hamilton in 1987, after completing a two-year National Science Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of California at Berkeley, I had a limited understanding of small liberal arts institutions. Since then, however, my experiences have mirrored the kind of intellectual transformations that we constantly seek to engender at Colgate through our curriculum and commitments. The early part of my research career was dedicated to pure mathematics, with a particular interest in algebraic structures. As time went on, however, and through my involvement in the CORE curriculum and off-campus study, my horizons began to expand. In particular, time spent at the University of Manchester in England put me in contact with scholars in the history of science and technology. Against the backdrop of the world's first industrial city, I started to ask and explore questions regarding mathematical innovations that emerged in the nineteenth century. Since then I've become particularly interested in the ways that developments related to higher dimensional spaces, non-Euclidean geometry, and the mathematization of the infinite were disseminated and discussed among lay (or non-specialist) audiences. This interest has underpinned a broad body of work that encompasses the history of mathematics, science, and ideas in the period 1870 – 1920. It has also provided me with opportunities to employ feminist and queer analytics in an attempt to understand better how knowledge is made and remade. I didn't anticipate undertaking such a departure from pure mathematics when I came to Colgate. Moreover, I don't know that I could have done so elsewhere or without the encouragement of many gifted and generous colleagues. To my mind, providing a nurturing place for transformation is one of Colgate's greatest features.

Consumers may be complaining about the MyFord Touch system, but that hasn't dissuaded CEO Alan Mulally from continuing to focus on in-vehicle electronics as a key way to connect with buyers.
As he told Automotive News, "We want to move to the place where you have this enduring relationship with your Ford store just like your Apple store."
Sounds like the car company wants to sell you the hardware and a lot of software that goes with it in the future. That being said, on the Sync side, Ford announced it sold over 5 million vehicles with that system in the last five years.
Echoing the CEO, Chief Technology Officer Paul Mascarenas noted, "The car is a rich source of real-time data and when combined with the processing power available in the cloud, it could become the smartest device you will ever own."
Check out more full coverage, read the Automotive News article for more from Alan Mulally here and see the CE Outlook story with quotes from Ford CTO Paul Mascarenas here.

Essence, which refused to disclose the sum it paid, is pursuing a strategy of strengthening its mobile capabilities.
Mark Nancarrow, financial director of Essence, told Campaign: "Mobile is increasingly important for our clients. A recent report said that 20% of all time spent on Facebook is mobile. The Point Reach acquisition is in response to that."
Point Reach's clients include The Walt Disney Company, telecoms firm AT&T and ticket re-sellers StubHub, which it serves from offices in San Francisco and Seattle.
The agency currently has 17 staff but Nancarrow said he expects that to increase "quite substantially" following the deal.
Andrew Nevils, managing director of Point Reach, will now report to Matt Isaacs, founding partner and chief executive officer of Essence.
The integration of the two companies will be overseen by Richard Mooney, managing director of Essence's North American division.
Speaking about the decision to expand in the US, Nancarrow said it was not about geography, but about the mobile agency's potential.
He continued: "We think Point Reach has got fabulous capabilities.
"It does great work with clients and our two companies share a similar philosophy in our client centric approach. We are also both very analytically driven. We believe in the same thing."
Essence was founded in 2005 and has a client list that includes Google, eBay and Expedia. It had billings of £170m and earnings before interest and tax of £3m in its last financial year.
It acquired UK digital agency Punktilio in 2011 and San Francisco-based media agency Black Bag Advertising in September 2012.
