Top 5 Favourite World Cup Songs!
The 2014 FIFA World Cup will commence this Friday, 13 June 2014 and fans are getting excited for the matches to finally kick off, but apart from the game itself and just as important, football fans all over the world were also anticipating for a great theme song to represent this year's World Cup!
However, hopes were crushed when Pitbull's "We Are One (Ole Ola)" featuring Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian pop star Claudia Leitte became the official theme for this year's World Cup.
Not even Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte could save Pitbull's "We Are One (Ole Ola)".
The song was negatively criticised by football fans and the host country's people of Brazil as it lacked the excitement level to match that of the mega football event and the upbeat Brazilian spirit.
Due to fans rampant complains, former World Cup theme song queen - Colombian singer Shakira's single entitled "Dare (La La La)" was re-written as the World Cup's alternative song entitled "La La La (Brazil 2014)" to save the day! Check it out below:
Shakira's "La La La (Brazil 2014)" is the alternative World Cup 2014 song.
Meanwhile, here are the top 5 ranking World Cup theme songs of all time:

" The wicked sportsman, of whom you read so much in books and newspapers, and who is really a good deal of a myth, is now at least regarded no longer as the sole cause of the disappearance of African fauna, the guilt having brought home at last to the chief-culprits the traders, pseudo-colonists, Boers, Askaris, armed natives and all the other pioneers of civilisation.
For many years a collector of natural history specimens, who went out quite unselfishly on behalf of German museums, and spent £ 5,000 in the colony, was regarded as a very undesirable and unwelcome visitor. Both in German and British East Africa the game was reserved for other kinds of sportsmen. When caravans reached the coast loaded of 500 elephant-tusks, these were "merchandise" ; but if a private traveller killed a few elephants, he was a slaughterer of wild animals ! "
Maurice Calmeyn's Au Congo Belge
" From what I have witnessed during my two journeys, I conclude that the Free State has only thought of its immediate self-interest and not of the future of the colony, ... draining the country of all it had to offer and giving it nothing in return."" It is regrettable that the sovereign of the Congo bribed the Belgian and foreign press, but even worse is that he has downgraded certain politicians and others to humble servants of the crown by means of rewards and pressures; these men show on every occasion that they have neither independence nor dignity."" Will I be reproached for lack of loyalty to royalty ? I do not care !"" It is largely due to these men that the Belgian people come into possession of a colony with a substantial debt burden, that will not be resolved by general economic neglect, poor infrastructure, a colony whose natural resources, with the exception of its subsoil, are exhausted, and whose indigenous inhabitants, who have long been mistreated, have lost confidence in us, where the diseases of an evil administration, already a force of habit, will not be eradicated any time soon."" We have yet a long struggle ahead to heal the wounds that Leopold II and his handymen have wrought."
A Hunting Trip on the Uele
The following notes of his experiences during a couple of short hunting trips to the Upper Nile Valley and the Uele and adjacent basins are taken from the journal of a belgian Sportsman, Maurice Calmeyn. Starting in January, 1907, M. Calmeyn first ascended the Nile to the Egyptian Sudan, whence he travelled to the Lado Enclave and the Uele and Stimbiri basins, returning by way of Boma in August. On the second trip he landed at Boma on April 9, 1908, and having again traversed the basins of the Uele and Stimbiri, as well as that of the Likati, returned early in December.In both trips the Uele basin yielded nearly all the more interesting game. On the Likati our sportsman sought persistently for the okapi, but, unfortunately, in vain; and like his predecessors, came to the conclusion that for a European the quest is practically hopeless. He states, however, that the natives have no difficulty in capturing calves, and speculates on the practicability of bringing live specimen to Europe.
Traveling in this comparatively little-known country is described as not being very difficult, while the number of elephants to be met with render the district attractive to the sportsman. Still, there is a certain risk of serious Illness from the combined effects of climate, fatigue and bad food, although M. Calmeyn himself experienced no serious ill-effects from the trips. Elephant shooting is the sport which appealed most strongly to this traveler, who experienced several exciting adventures, and at least one narrow escape. Throughout his hunting M. Calmeyn relied solely upon his own rifle, and armed none of the natives by whom he was accompanied. During the first trip his weapon a Mauser repeater of 11mm. calibre; but on the second expedition he took with him a pair of Winchesters 405, (the Model of 1895 Winchester was the first lever-action rifle with a box magazine) which he regards as the ideal rifle for penetrating power and force of impact. During his second trip the author of the narrative was accompanied by an English rough-haired fox terrier. Dark Patch, which only ten months old at the time of his master's arrival at Boma on the Uelle, took of his own accord to sport and proved invaluable at the work, fearing nothing and not hesitating to attack and hold even buffaloes. Dark Patch suffered but little from the heat, while his thick coat effectually protected him from the attacks of mosquitoes.During the 1907 trip M. Calmeyn fired at thirteen elephants, of which nine were killed, two of them being females. One of the latter was fired at solely because it charged. These elephants were killed with an average of three balls each, and at a mean distance of about 36 meters. In 1908 eight out of thirteen elephants fired at were bagged, all being males, with tusks weighing on an average 19 kg. The average number of shots fired at each elephant was nearly two, and the mean distance about 11 meters. The distance is, however, too short to be safe, from 20 to 25 meters being a more desirable average to back off when an animal makes a charge. The season when the natives burn the grass is the one most favorable in the Uele district, when the elephants come out into the open glades of the forest both before and after the great heat of the day; but hunting is not forbidden to Europeans at this season.Our sportsman's first introduction to elephants took place in February, 1907, in the Egyptian Sudan, when after a rapid march under native leadership, five or six of the monsters were sighted at a distance of about 200 meters. After vainly trying to get a satisfactory shot at them, the party sighted a herd of 50 elephants of all sizes, from among which a fine bull separated himself and eventually offered a shot at about 25 meters. Aiming between the eyes and the orifice of the ear, Calmeyn fired five shots in succession, after the last of which the huge beast came slowly but steadily out of the marsh in his direction, although without seeing him. Stopping at the spot from which it had first been fired at, the elephant, after a fifth and sixth bullet, finally succumbed. The short, thick tusks of the animal weighed respectively 23 and 21 kg.
On February 26th, while en route from the Belgian station of Redjaf to Lado, M. Calmeyn and his companion, Ernest Orban, encountered a herd of about a dozen elephants, from among which a bull was brought down at the first shot. Immediately after a herd of about a score of elephants passed close to M. Calmeyn, who had taken shelter behind a tree, from among which a female was dropped, also at the first shot. Search was then made for both animals, which were found to be still alive, but seemingly unable to rise. The narrator decided to finish off the female, which was uttering loud cries and endeavouring to get up, when, to quote his own words, at the same instant "a strident roar is heard, and a female rather larger than the first appears some 80 meters off making its way rapidly down a slope. She looks a splendid beast, with head raised, trunk in the air, and the enormous ears standing out at right angles from the neck. We are in full view to windward of the animal, which comes at a furious rate straight towards the female beside which we are standing, by the path the herd had taken in its flight. Jacques and Karamalla (pisteur), two of the hunters, being unarmed, run twenty meters from the elephant's track. There's not a moment to lose; right in the brute's direction and ten paces from me stands a tree, which I reached at a bound. I carefully fire the first shot at its head from a distance of thirty meters; the elephant quickly steps to the left; immediately firing again at fifteen meters, I hit the animal on the temple, bringing it heavily to the ground stone dead."This experience has taught the hunter that by letting a wounded beast moan or scream, one is exposed to the dangerous of being charged, and how courage these animals can be. Even an elephant of very small size can show much courage. The bull had but one tusk, weighing 6 kg, while each of the tusks of the females were only half that weight. The narrator confesses that, in spite of the danger, he had but little cause to be proud of this episode, these being the only females he ever killed.Passing on to April 24th, we find the narrator, then on the Upper Uele, photographing a magnificent bull elephant as it stands in a clearing, the hunting season not commencing till May 15th, although no notice of this had been taken while in Lado. Soon after the bull is joined by a cow, when the pair make a striking picture. Temptation eventually proves, however, too strong, and the bull is brought down at the third shot. Soon after a cracking sound is heard in the jungle, and the cow is seen charging in the direction of the party as if to avenge the death of her lord; and, despite his resolution not to fire again at a female, M. Calmeyn pulls the trigger, but misses his aim. The escape from the charge of his infuriated cow was a lucky one; and the narrator takes the opportunity of pointing out that a sportsman ought never to flee from a charging elephant by which he is seen, heard or winded.
The narrator next proceeds to relate his experience on the Middle Uele, when, on May 28, a herd of elephants which could not otherwise be approached were headed back by his trackers and a couple of fine bulls bagged. His account of the death of these is as follows:
"So soon as I stop, a passable-looking elephant emerges from the thicket about twenty meters off; as my first shot from between two trees it sways slightly to the right, and falls at the second. At the same moment two others pass on my left, one following the other. I pick out the best, and have time to fire two shots at thirty and forty meters on ground covered with trees and creepers. I finish the first elephant with a couple of bullets, and then follow the trail of the second. I presently find blood, and a hundred yards from the spot where it was hit the elephant had stopped with its back towards me. I am barely fifty meters from the monster, which is the midst of a tangle of low and bushy vegetation; if it had either heard or winded me it would have made off before I could fire. I therefore endeavor to aim amid its thorny surroundings. The bullet strikes a foot below the arch of the back, and the monster falls."The author concludes his narrative by referring to May 23, 1908, when he was on the river Api, a tributary to the middle section of the Uele, where he had killed his sixth elephant and first buffalo.
The fresh tracks of buffaloes were encountered early in the morning, and by following these the herd was reached in about an hour. Five constituted the herd, of which the best bull offered a mark and was hit by the first bullet. Staggering forward, it started off in full flight, presenting no chance for a second shot, but was at length bagged, after a tiring chase, by a bullet which struck between the eyes, the position of the shot being shown by a stick in the photograph shown below.
The buffalo, a fully adult bull, is described as being reddish gray in color, and stood 1m42 at the shoulder, with a length of 2m25 from the tip of the muzzle to the root of the tail. The ears are heavily fringed with long hair, while the horns, which are widely sundered on the forehead, are very deep at the base, and curve towards and then inwards in a regular sweep. They measure 0m67 along the outer curve, with interval of 0m32 between their tips.This buffalo (which head, together with that of a cow subsequently killed by Calmeyn, were of inspecting at Mr. Rowland Ward's in piccadilly) not improbably indicates an undescribed race of Bos caffer, apparently allied to the Lake Chad race and more remotely to the dwarf red Congo buffaloes.
Maurice Calmeyn
Calmeyn's social criticism became more radical and eventually leading towards communism. Just before his death, he contributed 20,000 francs to the production of 'Misère au Borinage', by Joris Ivens and Henri Storck. A film with a strongly socialist theme, covering the poor living conditions of the workers and coal miners of the Borinage region of Belgium. Calmeyn apparently died on his way to the premiere.

Greco (Dreadnought, 2009, etc.) slides a slice of American gay culture under the literary microscope.
Peter and Harold settled in Brooklyn in the 1970s, committed lovers, one with journalism ambitions, the other a poet. Then Harold died during the early days of the AIDS crisis. Peter forgot poetry and built a boutique ad agency, now gobbled up by a conglomerate, where he peddled "goods and services for a brave new world in which more people needed more things." With but one serious relationship post-Harold, Peter lives at the edge of loneliness. Greco believably sketches New York's gay culture—the right parties, the right place for clothing, and who's shtupping whom—while watching Peter redefine himself. "[S]till cursed by the lofty intellectual goals and high romantic intentions," Peter laments and dithers and becomes almost a less-interesting character than his friend Jonathan, a celebrated documentary filmmaker dying of prostate cancer. Greco delves artfully into Peter's stumbling friendship-turned-romance with Will, a young California writer seeking prestige bylines, and lays it against his refusal to take up with rent boys: "[A]t last I can see how sex and love are this one, whole thing." A second narrative thread places Peter at a moral crossroads when his corporate bosses demand he cook up a campaign for a Glenn Beck–like demagogue. With his gift for observation and turns of phrase—"the remains of an intellectual enshrined in the urn of a glamorous career"—Greco offers a book about big ideas rather than action: ideas about gay life; about the depths and importance of friendship; about money and power; about the need for love and sex; and about a man's moral relationship to who he is and what he does.
Greco has written a life-affirming yet melancholy, John O'Hara–like analysis of post-baby-boom-meets-millennial-queer Big Apple society.

cannibalism kăn´ĭbəlĭzəm [key] [Span. caníbal, referring to the Carib], eating of human flesh by other humans. The charge of cannibalism is a common insult, and it is likely that some alleged cannibal groups have merely been victims of popular fear and misrepresentation. Nevertheless, archaeological research suggests that ancient societies did practice cannibalism, and it has been observed in Africa, North and South America, the South Pacific islands, and the West Indies. Widespread cannibalism is usually not found in state-level societies, which have the means to tax and control surplus labor. Nevertheless, one of the most famous cases of cannibalism is that of the Aztecs, who sacrificed their prisoners of war and undoubtedly ate some of them. According to available evidence, most authorities consider the partaking of human flesh almost always to be a ritual practice. A minority of anthropologists, however, believe cannibalism emerged as a cultural response to chronic protein shortages. In modern Western society, cannibalism is commited only by the deranged or by people who otherwise face death from starvation (see Donner Party ). In contrast, various traditional cultures are known to have encouraged their members to eat part of their kinsmen's corpses out of respect for the deceased in a practice known as endocannibalism. For example, Foré women of New Guinea, who dispose of the dead, ritually ate their deceased relatives' brains. Some anthropologists believe that head-hunting evolved from cannibalism. Among a few peoples the head of the enemy is preserved and the rest of the body or selected parts of it are eaten this may represent a connecting link between cannibalism and head-hunting. The term cannibalism is also used in zoology to describe species who prey upon their own kind, such as lions, crabs, ants, and some kinds of fish.

Two-year Evaluation of a Variable-Thread Tapered Implant in Extraction Sites with Immediate Temporization: A Multicenter Clinical Trial
Bradley S. McAllister, DDS, PhD/James E. Cherry, DMD/Martin L. Kolinski, DDS/Kenneth D. Parrish, DDS, PhD/David W. Pumphrey, DDS/Robert L. Schroering, DMD
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the survival rate, bone remodeling, and soft tissue health surrounding variable-thread tapered implants placed in fresh extraction sites and loaded immediately. Materials and Methods: Sixty implants were placed in 55 patients at six centers according to a predetermined protocol. All implants were placed in extraction sockets and were subjected to immediate temporization. Definitive prostheses were placed within the first year. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed at implant placement and after 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Assessments of implant stability, Papilla Index, plaque, peri-implant mucosa, and marginal bone levels were performed at the respective visits. Results: Fifty-five patients were treated and were restored with 58 single crowns and 1 two-unit fixed partial prosthesis. The cumulative survival rate was 98.3% after 2 years. One implant failed prior to 3 months. The mean marginal bone remodeling from implant insertion to 1 year was 0.22 ± 1.30 mm (n = 41), followed by an average bone gain of 0.12 ± 0.77 mm (n = 33) between 12 and 24 months. Mean marginal bone remodeling was 0.10 ± 1.38 mm (n = 35) from implant insertion to 2 years. Papilla size increased significantly over the 2-year study period. Patient assessments of function, esthetics, and self-esteem also showed significant improvement. Conclusion: The 24-month results indicate that the variable-thread tapered implant can be used safely and effectively under demanding conditions as an immediate postextraction tooth replacement.

Dr. Jeffrey Idle Joins LIU Pharmacy as Director of Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacogenomics Division
Story Number is
LIU Pharmacy
Long Island University announced the hire of Dr. Jeffrey Idle, one of the world leaders in the fields of metabolomics and pharmacogenetics. Dr. Idle joins LIU as Endowed Professor and Director of the Division of Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacogenomics at The Samuel J. and Joan B. Williamson Institute of the Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (LIU Pharmacy).
Through the use of mass spectrometry, metabolomic studies identify the small molecules produced through metabolic processes in cells, tissues, organs, biological fluids, or organisms. Dr. Idle's work in this field and in pharmacogenetics has been instrumental in moving therapeutics towards more patient-specific tailored treatments ("precision medicine") in a broad range of medical specialties. In addition, metabolomics has been successful in the discovery and definition of biomarkers of disease susceptibility and outcome, for example, in various types of cancer patient. Metabolomics and precision medicine may also lead to breakthroughs in treatments for osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and liver and lung disorders, among others.
"Dr. Idle's addition will drive LIU's evolution into a progressive and leading research institution," said Dr. John Pezzuto, Dean of LIU Pharmacy and Vice President for LIU Health and Research. "The Institute's work will place LIU at the forefront of precision medicine, providing innumerable opportunities for collaboration with government research bodies, medical schools, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry."
When completed in early 2018, the new 1,100 square foot lab in the refurbished Pharmacy building will contain state-of-the-art liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry equipment, together with genomic analysis of DNA, allowing Dr. Idle and his team to advance his vital work at LIU.
"I am excited to join the world-class team at LIU where there is a strong commitment to invest in research," Dr. Idle said. "Precision medicine takes into account the differences between individuals to find patient-centric approaches to improve treatment. The research we will conduct at LIU is about improving outcomes for patients."
Dr. Idle joins LIU from the University of Bern (Switzerland) where he was a visiting professor and research fellow from 2003-2016. In addition, he serves as a consultant in metabolism and a scientific contractor with the Center for Cancer Research at the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland since 2002.
Trained in chemistry and biochemistry, Dr. Idle began his career studying drug metabolism under Professor R. Tecwyn Williams and Professor Robert L. Smith at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School (now Imperial College), University of London. He is an internationally renowned scholar who has held appointments during his career at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School (UK), Newcastle University (UK), the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway), Charles University (Czech Republic), and the University of Bern (Switzerland). Dr. Idle is the founding editor of Pharmacogenetics, and is the highly-cited author of more than 430 original scientific publications.
Dr. Idle will be joined at the Institute by his colleague, Dr. Diren Beyoglu, appointed as the Associate Director and Associate Professor in Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacogenomics. She is a specialist in metabolomics and lipidomics and has trained in genotoxicity, pharmacogenetics, and chemometrics. Dr. Beyoglu received her PhD in Pharmaceutical Toxicology from Marmara University, Istanbul in 2006. She has extensive teaching and laboratory experience and has numerous publications to her credit.

With the lift-off of a Long March 2D rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert, China has deployed the first-ever satellite built on quantum communications technology that is believed to be 100% invulnerable to security breaches.
A statement issued by China's state-run Xinhua news agency proclaims that the August 16 launch of the Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS) spacecraft (nicknamed "Micius" after the fifth-century Chinese scientist and philosopher) "is designed to establish 'hack-proof' quantum communications by transmitting uncrackable keys from space to the ground and provide insights into the strangest phenomenon in quantum physics—quantum entanglement." The 1,300-lb. QUESS satellite which will circle the earth every 90 minutes at an altitude of 310 miles, will send messages to ground stations through entangled photons that remain linked over billions of miles of space and are thereby believed to be impossible to hack. Scientists also say that any attempt to eavesdrop on messages transmitted through entangled photons will be detected through induced changes in the photons' state.
Although scientists in Japan, Canada, and Italy are continuing research in quantum communications and have plans for space experiments, China is the first nation to launch a satellite based on that technology. Initially, researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China will use QUESS to send a secure key between ground stations located in Beijing and Urumqi (a city on China's central Asian frontier) and between Beijing and Vienna, Austria. If those tests are successful, China will deploy a second satellite within the next five years that will form the basis of what one journalist described as "a super-secure communications network, potentially linking people anywhere." Observing that, "just like [NASA's] Galileo [Jupiter probe] and Kepler [space telescope], we used the name of a famous scholar for our first quantum satellite," Pan Jianwei, the chief scientist on the QUESS project, told reporters: "we hope this will promote and boost confidence in Chinese culture."

Colorado Loophole Lets Teens Marry; Common Law Trumps Statute
Byline: Valerie Richardson, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
DENVER - Twelve-year-old girls are free to enter into a common-law marriage with 14-year-old boys or, for that matter, actor Johnny Depp, according to a Colorado court decision.
The Colorado Court of Appeals shocked parents and lawmakers alike Thursday when it ruled that common law trumps state statute when it comes to age-of-consent rules for marriage.
"It did surprise me because this issue hadn't arisen before in this context," said Stephen Harhai, a Denver lawyer and past chairman of the Colorado Bar Association's family law section.
"We have very clear rules in statutory marriage but not in common-law marriage. The logic does follow, but it takes you to a surprising place," Mr. Harhai said.
State statute sets the age limit at 16 with parental consent and 18 without it, but Colorado law also contains a provision for common-law marriages. The court cited English common law, the basis of U.S. common law, under which marriages are permitted at age 12 for girls and 14 for boys.
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said yesterday he would urge the legislature to add an age-of-consent rule to the state's common-law statute as soon as possible.
The decision reversed a lower-court ruling in which a judge decided that a Weld County girl was too young to consent to a common-law marriage with a man more than twice her age.
The girl, known in legal documents as J.M.H., moved in with Willis Lee Rouse in April 2002 when she was 14 and he was 34. The girl is now 18 and Rouse, who is serving a four-year jail sentence for stalking stemming from a sexual-assault arrest, is 38. …

Globetrotting: The Road Less Motivating
From Issue #37
By Beth Puliti
We were pedaling over "The Roof of the World," also known as the Pamir Highway, when it happened.
The sky-high road, which winds through some of the Earth's most barren landscapes, splits into two and we opted to take the dirt road less traveled. And that's where I broke.
In Tajikistan's rugged and isolated Wakhan Valley animal carcasses thrive, relentless winds whip across high desert plains, running water is non-existent, markets are several days apart, roads disintegrate under the crunch of tires and wild campsites are a shallow river's width from Afghanistan.
Here in the high-alpine desert my lungs gasped for air above 15,000 feet, my body rejected every piece of contaminated food I consumed; my fingertips touched without feeling in sub-freezing temperatures; my throat coughed out sobs that were forcefully whisked away into unrelenting wind and my eyes shed rocks instead of tears after hours of battling vicious sandstorms.
"I left home looking for adventure—well I fucking got it here," remarked a friend who finished pedaling the route several weeks after we did. I couldn't agree more with his sentiment. Every day proved harder than the last and every day I thought about quitting.
I fantasized about indoor toilets, daily showers and vegetables. I vowed to never eat another Snickers or drink another RC Cola (unexpected staples in tiny Tajik markets) as long as I lived. I decided that the first thing I would do when I returned to the U.S. would be to not ride my bike. And then eat guacamole.
I may have thought about throwing in the towel—a lot and in great detail—but I didn't.
For starters, there is no easy way to get out of the Wakhan Valley. Not a single train station, taxi queue or bus stop to speak of. Cars were so rare that during eight or so hours of pedaling that no more than a handful would pass us by, overflowing with local villagers as the number of seats in any given vehicle is merely a recommendation rather than a rule. More often, the only method of transportation we came across was of the four-hooved variety.
Leaving was never really an option, just a mental escape. And so, in the most challenging of times, I switched to tough love. If the people we met each day—shepherds, school children, mothers—could live their entire lives here, eating simple meals of potatoes and bread, living in primitive homes with no electricity or running water and traveling by donkey, I could merely pass through over the course of a couple months, I told myself.
By choice, I might add.
But perhaps the single biggest reason I didn't quit was because for every hurdle there was salvation: a home opened up to rest our tired bones, a family offering a bottomless kettle of tea, a home-cooked meal to fill our ravenous stomachs, shepherds whistling at us from mountaintops and seemingly every child in every village running to greet us as if we were celebrities.
While touring Central Asia proved to be, without exaggeration, the most challenging experience I have ever had on a bicycle, it also proved to be the most unforgettable experience of my lifetime.
For any number of reasons, be it stretches of bad weather, challenging terrain or non-existent comforts, there will be days you lack motivation and possibly even days you feel like quitting. But you must allow yourself to mentally escape. When that doesn't work, put your current situation into perspective. Choose to focus on all the good around you. It might feel like you can't catch a break, but eventually you will—some days, respite is just a few more pedal strokes away.
Don't know how to get yourself out of a slump? Here are a few things that might help:
- Treat yourself to a hotel room if you normally camp.
- Take some time off the bike and stay stationary for a bit.
- Get reconnected with friends and family through the power of the Internet.
- Change your route if things aren't as fun as you expected.
- Say what you're thinking out loud to your cycling partner if you have one. They might be feeling the same way or, if not, they can help you change your perspective.
- Don't dwell. Think of what excitement lies ahead.

Revised 25 March 2003 to add another picture of the structure between the pilot and RIO.
I hadn't noticed it before, but it looks like there was little or no view forward from the aft cockpit of the flush-canopy F4H-1s. Note that there are no ejection seats installed.
There was an opening but it was all but blocked by the RIO's instrument/switch panel (see the bottom of http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2009/11/early-phantom-iis.html
The question has also been raised about what was in the aft cockpit of the first F4H, BuNo 142259. Your guess is as good as mine. It looks pretty empty except for maybe the structure of the left side console and the support structure for the ejection seat rails (the aft bulkhead of the aft cockpit was vertical or pretty close to it, not canted).
The inlet development resulted in several different configurations between first flight and production of the operational F4H-1s. The interim and modified inlets were created by literally cutting off the upper portion of the original inlet lip and replacing it with one that eliminated the "hood" over the intake.
The production F-4A inlet was basically the same as the interim modified inlet in the illustration above.
In addition to the F-4B fixed ramp being wider, it also extended farther forward by about an inch, requiring the aft side of the lower kick-in step to be angled forward.

Duke Nukem is voiced by Dean Stockwell and Maurice LaMarche.
Duke Nukem is a radioactive mutant. He has hard, yellow, scaly skin. He only has three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. Nukem is usually found wearing an unbuttoned Hawiian shirt and a pair of board shorts, as well as a pair of flip-flops. He has a short red mohawk.
Duke's glowing green eyes provide him with x-ray vision. His voice is deep and rather hoarse.
Significant Episodes[edit]
Nukem is sending a transmission to Hope Island as Gaia and the Planeteers gather around the Planet Vision screens.
Nukem: Hey Planeteers! Dr. Blight and Duke Nukem here! How do you like our nuclear waste bomb? With this, we can waste the planet! Ciao for now, planet punks!
Nukem: We have an important message for Gaia and her teenage dupes!
Gaia: What have you done with Captain Planet?
Blight: He's unsafe and unsound right here in my secret laboratory.
Linka: You must release him at once!
Blight: All in good time. But first, you must meet our ransom demands.
Kwame: Which is?
Nukem: Bring me a lifetime supply of nuclear waste!
Wheeler: And what if we refuse?
Nukem: Hahahaha! Then you'll never see Captain Planet again!
Nukem: Your power flunkies better pay our ransom soon, Captain Planet! You won't survive much more of my radiation!
Captain Planet: Forget it, Nukem! The Planeteers will never agree to your evil demands!
MAL: Attention, attention, malevolent master! And you too, Duke Radish-head.
Nukem: Watch it, computer! Your mouth's too big for your microchips!
Nukem: That was a mistake, Planeteers! The last you'll ever make!

Throwback Thursday - I Could Never...
The Walking Dead Season 4 starts this weekend! So I thought it would be a good time to repost this old post I did February 2012.
The other day, after explaining I was Deaf and legally Blind, I got the pitiful comment: "Oh I could never be Deaf or Blind.".
I've also heard:
"I wouldn't know what to do!"
"I would never survive..."
"I'd rather curl up and die..."
"I feel sorry for you..."
So let me put it into an analogy you might understand. How about in the context of the Zombie Apocalypse craze we're experiencing on TV and in Movies? Like "The Walking Dead" on AMC. A highly successful TV series (with over 5.3 million people watching Season One; and over 7 million watching Season 2). (yeah yeah I'm a fan shhh)
1. Discovery
A) So what if tomorrow ya woke up in a Zombie Infested world? Hole yourself up in your house? Don't forget there won't be electricity so there's no Video Games, Texting, IM, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube or Pinterest! Ok so after the Electronics Withdrawals have subsided, now what?
B) So what if you wake up one day and you were disabled? After you've gone through the 7 stages of Grief, you'll wonder what's next.
2. First Steps
A) "I wouldn't know what to do!" - Find a grocery store or restaurant and grab some food. "But that's stealing!" - Fine, starve. "I can't eat that!" - Like you have a choice? Shaddup and eat the Kitty Kabobs.
B) "I wouldn't know what to do!" - Then learn! Find out everything about your disability, it's cause and prognosis. Find an agency to teach you new skills. "I can't learn a new language (Sign Language/Braille)" - Then you'll be "holed up" in your little world with little outside interaction/communication. "I'll look stupid using this (wheelchair/white cane/prosthesis)" - Think of it as a tool and not a "label". Trust me, you'll look stupider trying to get around without.
3. Survival
A) "I would never survive" - The human spirit has a strong will to live, find other survivors and pool your resources and support. Learn from others skills you don't have. "I've never fired a gun before" - Just aim and squeeze the trigger. "I've never shot anyone" - First time for everything.
B) "I would never survive" - Find a local or online disability support group. Finding out others are going through the same struggles can uplift you and not feel so alone. Share experiences on what's working or not working for you, others might know a better way of doing things.
4. Denial
A) "I'd rather curl up and die" - Then you're Zombie Fodder, short and simple.
B) "I'd rather curl up and die" - Fine, be a burden on your loved ones, your friends, the system and everyone else.
Just like the characters in the show who didn't ask to be there but were forced into the situation. I didn't ask to be Deaf or Blind. It was just the "pokerhand I was dealt". I don't need you feeling sorry for me, being patronizing and condescending, assumptions of inferior intellect, or just plain rudeness! So next time you get the urge to blurt out a selfish comment, think about the person you're talking to. Besides, if this is the way you act and think all the time, then you'd be safe in a Zombie Apocalypse. Zombies only like brains - and you don't have one!

For many, this year will be one of our most challenging. I am hearing people say that - for the first time that they can ever remember it's as though 'we're all in this together'. Somehow that feeling of 'sharing the pain' has a way of easing the pain.
Being part of a team - sharing experiences together - being in a community and together creating the future are some of the most powerful needs of human beings.
When we join a company, a team, or an organization we do so with the hope of being welcomed into a well-functioning, healthy environment that is so compelling and exciting that we look forward to work every day. This expectation - and the deep disappointment that comes when it is not realized - is, in fact, an echo of our own individual wholeness and our most basic need for belonging, appreciating, and understanding.
Strengthening Our Organizational Immune System
We know instinctively that a healthy human being needs to be part of a healthy human community. This sense of health - the recoiling from all that is toxic in human relationships - is the fundamental touchstone we need to hold in our consciousness at every moment of our organizational lives.
When the body is healthy, the immune system works at all times to protect it, immediately identifying and attacking any threat to the body's health. The body learns about new threats and creates warning flags to alert the immune system.
These flags arise from cells, directing the immune system to know where and how to target their action and to marshal the internal resources to restore health. Cancer cells, for example, lose the capacity to pass this important information along to the immune system. When cancer forms inside our bodies, these warning flags are not erected to call the immune system to action.
Strengthening our Individual Immune System
We need to understand that the conditions necessary for creating healthy organizations are, in fact, the same conditions necessary for creating healthy individuals. We need to test and examine our beliefs about the balance between personal independence and the collective good - what I need in the context of what WE need. And we need to learn how to stand comfortably and confidently on that edge.
Raising Our Flags
It is as important that WE - both individually and collectively - monitor the health of our business culture, organization, teams, and one-on-one relationships - especially during times of challenge and economic crisis. Everyone in the organization must have the power to raise a flag if he or she needs help handling challenges, whether they arise from within the organization (conflicts) or from outside in the form of economic challenges we are all facing together. We need to look at challenges not as threats, but as opportunities to learn.
Each of us must be empowered to be part of the team, to watch and listen for challenges and respond to them. Each of us must become alert to challenges and listen in new ways to one another so that we add to the collective ability of the organization to respond quickly and proactively. With this level of awareness in place, we can better recognize how to respond by drawing on the wisdom of the whole organization.
There is, in fact, no I - only WE. Deep down we are not individuals, but rather collectives, billions of cells working in concert, networked together in an exquisite equilibrium via a common genetic code buried in each and every cell. But this amazing, self-healing system operates unconsciously within each of us: When it fails, disease results. When it works, we all learn, grow, and nourish one another and live in a state of health. What keeps it working are our Vital Instincts for mutual success.
As 2009 approaches, let's turn to each other to draw upon our deepest, most profound wisdom for ushering in new ways of thinking in the world. We are a global family.

Normally, I'm not a big fan of deduction games. It reminds me of those old standardized test questions they used to ask (maybe they still do) to make sure you came from the right side of town: "Alex lives next door to Fred. Fred is friends with the girl in the red cloak. The person three doors down from the guy with the brown coat blah blah blah ... Who lives in each house on the block?". The key to answering these questions, it seemed to me, is not being able to reason, but having been told how to set up the grid into which you can plug the data that will allow the answer to fall out. Or that's what it took for me, anyway. A lot of deduction games seem to fall into this category for me: if I could just figure out where I could find the correct spreadsheet and note-taking technique on the internet, I could be as good as anyone else.
Of course, this simplifies the situation in many cases, possibly to ease the fact that I'm not very good at these games. Still, usually if there is a game in there, it's about picking the right question to ask, not the process of deduction itself. The few deduction games I like usually have something else going on. I like Coda, because there is a little bit of bluffing in with the deduction, and because the pain is over quickly. I also like Schwartzarbeit; since you can't take notes, the memory aspect is almost as important as the deduction, and you have to make some choices about what to try to remember and what to let slide. By contrast, I really disliked Code 777, which seemed to me a classic spreadsheet game designed simply to make your brain explode. Maybe entertaining as a puzzle, but not much of a game.
But now I can add a new game to the list of deduction games I like, Black Vienna.
The basic idea is there are 27 spies, A-Z plus Ö. These are distributed amongst the players, with the remainder left in a pile off to the side. You are, of course, trying to figure out who is in the leftover pile. The questions are a series of cards with three letters on them, and you have a couple of these cards available from which you must choose one to give to another player. That player then must tell you how many of those letters he or she has in their hand. If the answer is one or more, he or she marks the card with the corresponding number of chips, and the card is now fixed. Otherwise, it can subsequently be re-asked to another player.
It's still a game that is largely about effective note-taking, but there is enough flexibility and enough decision-making challenge in figuring out what the right question is and who to ask it that I enjoyed it. The deduction is also not straightforward, and it can take quite a few questions before you get even one solid piece of information. It's a once-or-twice-a-year type game; not a great classic, but pretty fun for what it is, and while not a simple game it's not so much of a brain-burner as to turn off people who aren't seriously into this sort of thing.
The only real flaw in the game is that it really cannot handle mistakes. If at any point someone says 1 when they meant 2, this can cause the game to explode catastrophically, as backtracking on all the implications of even one erroneous response can be difficult enough that it might be easier to toss the game and start again. I mention this only so that, if you ever play, you make sure that everyone at the table is clear that they need to be really, really sure when they respond.
In our game, I actually got wiped out by an error very late in the game ... it only took our player a minute or so to realize he had screwed up, but it was a critical question and by the time the error was discovered I had already made so many cascading deductions that backing out at that late date was more work than I wanted to put in. But at that point I had realized I wasn't going to win anyway, so I wasn't unduly disturbed, and still enjoyed the game. One I would definitely play again.
Black Vienna is long out of print, but you can find the rules here, and a template for all the required cards is available on BoardGameGeek.

The parole violator who ambushed two Phoenix Police officers early Saturday had been released from prison two weeks earlier.
Joseph Sandoval, 26, has been charged with multiple counts including aggravated assault, and weapons and parole violations, for allegedly opening fire on officers responding to a trespassing call at a vacant trailer.
Police believe Sandoval critically wounded one officer and pinned down a second at the trailer park, near 31st and Van Buren streets, just before 1 a.m. Saturday, reports the Arizona Republic.
Sandoval, who was released Nov. 11, had been serving time since November 2007 on charges related to theft and misconduct involving weapons.

For me, summer means three things: a spatter of sunshine, a wave of wasps and a torrent of festivals. Having only seen highlights of performances on TV before, I was thrilled to be able to go to this year's V Festival in Chelmsford with one of my best friends. With headliners such as Eminem, Rihanna and the Artic Monkeys, V Festival is undeniably one of the biggest galas around. Add to this the onslaught of stalls, food bars, comedy tents and a Just Dance bus and you have the makings of an unforgettable weekend.
|Olly Murs set
It has to be said that the headliners had amazing performances – if they were anything less their prominence would be questionable. However, for me it was the smaller performances that demanded greater credit. Olly Murs was for me one of the best there, especially for entertainment value. The X Factor runner-up presented a mixture of his own chart-topping singles and a hilarious dance routine to some of Madness' better known songs. His cheeky-chappy-smile is infectious even from a distance, and having seen him live I genuinely cannot understand how Joe McElderry beat him to claim the shows top prize. And naturally, my friend and I spent hours entertaining ourselves with impressions of the X Factor announcer calling out his name. Oh, and quoting Hot Fuzz with the accompanying accents. It's bizarre the kind of things that just get funnier the more times you say them.
|Ricky Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs
One thing that festivals are well known for are their ability to turn from serene one minute to bone-crushing and deadly the next. Although it was rumoured around camp that moshing had been banned for safety reasons, naturally there were still cases of drunken morons thinking that jumping and landing on relatively small people (such as myself) was an excellent idea. Then again, when you make the effort to make it to the barrier for acts like the Kaiser Chiefs, Lost Prophets and Razorlight, you really can't expect to be left in piece. Ricky Wilson, lead singer of Kaiser Chiefs was particularly entertaining. Running along the border of the public mass, and at points jumping in amongst them, he really put on a show. Although it must be said he did look high. Still, when they played 'I Predict A Riot', they certainly started one where we were standing.
|Lostprophets set
Another danger of being so close to the artists is not actually being one of their biggest fans. It may sound strange that we would have fought our way to the front when we weren't actually so 'hard-core', but festivals are a display of artists you like, love and want to get to know. But the proper fans don't seem to appreciate that blossoming interest and are decided instead to crush it under the intensity of their disapproving glares. I'm just beginning to get into Lostprophets, and so decided to go along to their performance; but I was surrounded by their true followers and I could feel their irritated glowers burning into the back of my head as they registered my lack of knowledge in the band's music. Despite my effort to disperse this image with my enthusiastic dancing, they weren't convinced. I felt like I was being watched by several angry teachers whilst I had a private rave in their office. Worse was not knowing the lyrics; and then managing to get the ones I thought I knew horrendously wrong. As I write this, my iPod is playing Lostprophet's 'Last Summer', proving my point perfectly: learn their words before you see them live in order to avoid extreme discomfort and embarrassment.
|You Me At Six set
The highlight of any festival is being able to see your favourite artist, and I was fortunate enough to see my favourite band You Me At Six. Of course I'm bias because of my love for their music, but they were undoubtedly the best act there. Right on the barrier, and caught sparingly on screen by the great overhead camera that swept across the crowd, I don't think I have ever enjoyed music so much. What's funny is the fact that bands like You Me At Six and Lostprophets even played at V Festival. They wouldn't be classed as 'Pop' bands and V Fest isn't exactly Reading & Leeds. Like Josh Franceschi said as they played: "If you guys could see what I can see… the amount of people who have turned up to see a rock band at a pop festival". Why he seemed surprised though I've no idea: the power and intensity behind their songs is enough to bring a tidal wave of adoring listeners towards their shows. My only complaint is their miniscule 30 minute set – they deserve so much more.
You can always tell when an artist is a genuine performer. It's not about the lights or the costumes or the set – they'll interact with the crowd. Rihanna's music is beautiful, but her set was cold; she sang, she danced, she left. But bands like The Script and Scouting For Girls, they talked to us and they sang with us, until we felt like another member of the band. And it's that kind of atmosphere that makes live performances. It also showed the difference between those who had worked their way up from playing small clubs and earned a record and those that had gotten a record and been given a live slot.
|KT Tunstall
Naturally, the weather greatly impacts the mood of everyone. We were incredibly lucky to have glorious sunshine for nearly two whole days. I say nearly – the heavens opened midway through our first day and drenched everyone during KT Tunstall's set (best known for 'Suddenly I See', which will only ever mean the Pilot episode of Ugly Betty to me). We were immediately surrounded by complainers, covered in plastic anoraks. Having judged that the rain couldn't do any more damage than it had already, we continued to enjoy the performance without cover, deciding to allow the rain to enhance the show rather than drown it. The rain certainly had one positive effect though – it managed to persuade half-naked men to put their clothes back on, to the relief of many who did not appreciate the sight of those that really need to be wearing a bra.

Madame 702 is a personal project. I created a couple of jewellery pieces using the op art concepts. They can be called eye jewellery, as they actually are wearable optical illusions. They are made from colored plexiglass and were cut using a laser machine. They can come in different colors and sizes depending on the clients wishes.
Thank You!

Development and application of techniques for evaluating the success of local groundwater protection programs
MetadataShow full item record
The existence of comprehensive groundwater protection programs on the federal, state, and local levels was investigated. Because of the unique characteristics of aquifers and contamination sources, local groundwater protection programs were found to be the most comprehensive; however, it was discovered that no universally accepted method existed to measure their effectiveness.
An evaluation method was developed to determine local groundwater protection program effectiveness, and the method was applied in two case studies, one urban and one rural. The urban program, developed in Dayton, Ohio, was found to be a comprehensive and effectively implemented program; the rural program, developed in Clarke County, Virginia, was found to be a comprehensive program, but lacked full implementation. The experience gained in the case studies was used to revise the format of the evaluation method, and draw conclusions concerning the usefulness of the method.
A description of the evaluation method, the case studies, and all related data collection are included.

An organizing committee staff shows a 2008 Beijing Olympics Games tickets order sheet April 15, 2008. More than 7 million affordable tickets are on sale for the 2008 Olympic Games, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) said on Sunday. [Xinhua]
Late last year, BOCOG announced that ticket prices for the Games will be in keeping with its efforts to host Games accessible to the broadest spectrum of people.
Anticipating a high level of demand, BOCOG Executive Vice President and Secretary General Wang Wei reiterated that the ticketing process will be conducted in the most efficient, fair and open manner possible and will follow internationally-accepted practices.
BOCOG will initiate a three-phased ticketing process for domestic sales. In each phase, residents on the Chinese mainland will be able to order tickets through the official ticketing website (http://tickets.beijing2008.com), calling the BOCOG ticketing call center (+86-10-952008), or through designated Bank of China branches.
For overseas sales, the process will be determined in each country and territory by its National Olympic Committee and its ticketing agent.

Wal-Mart Stores, Bentonville, Ark.--with plans to sell airline tickets, car rental bookings and hotel reservations over the Web--hired Leapnet to handle the travel services section of its new Web site. Wal-Mart's Sam's Club subsidiary also retained Leapnet, Chicago, as lead developer for its first e-commerce site, which is expected to have a slightly more upscale bent than the primary Wal-Mart site. Frederick A. Smith, chairman-CEO of Leapnet and president of Leapnet parent Quantum Leap Communications, said his company will be working both on strategy and development of the two Wal-Mart online selling ventures.

Right now, I have a big pot simmering on the stove, where I am making a homemade chicken stock. I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to get enough soup these days. I crave it! (No, NOT for the reason one might think.)
Maybe it is the association with comfort, warmth and security. Maybe it is my body asking for more veggies. Maybe it's just because it's winter. But whatever the reason, I am lovin' it in a big way.
And while I was sitting here with that scrumptious aroma filling the air, I started thinking about the colors of Singapore during JW's last trip, and noticing the colors all around me, right here in my own little home, in my own little world.
There are many.
So I started snapping pictures.
And I would love to share some colors with you...
This sweet Jesus picture tugs at my heart. It is obviously very old, and I picture that it must have been given to a newlywed couple many years ago, which they then hung lovingly in their new home. Did they go on to have a happy life? Were they blessed with many years of love? I hope so.
There is a nice story of how I got this picture.
Last summer I, JW and My Girl went to an outdoor flea market in Pennsylvania. We were walking around admiring all the many treasures when this, and another picture of roses, caught my eye.
I first asked the price of the the other picture, and a very nice man quoted a sum that was just a bit too much for me that day. Then I asked him the price of this picture. He looked at me and My Girl and he said, "It's yours. All I ask is that you say a prayer for me."
I was touched, and this dear picture came home with us. Needless to say, we both said a prayer for that very nice man with the kind heart that night.
More colors?
My ever growing kokeshi girlies.
Brightly colored enamel bowls I can't get enough of.
Illustrations from a vintage children's book I picked up at the Salvation Army.
More you say?
Another enamel bowl and a vintage textured painting of roses I was also given for free last summer at a tag sale. (I was on a roll.)
A wreath made from little paper parasols.
Now I thought I was brilliant when I came up with this idea, only to discover it had been done - many times - before. But, oh well!
Notice the dangly buttons in the center. Yes - me and my buttons - we love each other.
A vintage quilt, so lovingly made.
Bright and beautiful vintage afghans warming themselves in the sun.
Vintage slips, softly lady-like.
And just a little bit more?
Vintage jewelry on an old adjustable dress form, which I got for $1.00 at a garage sale. Yes - ONE DOLLAR! You bet I skipped happily out of there that day.
I had picked up these 2 old wooden shoes several months ago at the thrift shop. They were just plain wood, which I eventually decided to dress up a bit. So on went a bit of paint and pretty vintage decals.
Some thrifted silk flowers...
and lastly, the soup I am making...
Some very pretty colors, indeed, in this soup!
I call it Hodge Podge Soup.
You basically add whatever veggies you have hanging around in your fridge or freezer to your homemade chicken stock, season it, and you have your tasty soup.
This particular batch includes sweet corn kernels, carrots, red, green and yellow peppers, spinach, onions, peas, orzo pasta, chicken meat and lots of freshly ground pepper!
Thank you for sharing all of today's colors with me.
Much Love,

Jane's Armadale Pear Tree House
Name: Jane of My Pear Tree House
Location: Armadale, Australia
Size: 220 square meters approx 2,300 square feet
Years lived in: 10 years, owned
Walking through the front door into Jane's 110 year old home is impressive. The highest ceilings we've ever seen in a house, seriously wide architraves, skirting boards and window frames, not to mention the original stained glass windows in amazing condition. As we walked down the hallway through the house, we came out into an unexpected space — newly renovated kitchen, dining and lounge room complete with a sunken lounge you'd die for.
There are so many different elements of Jane's home that we love; the drought tolerant front garden, the most perfectly red dining room, the custom built lounge suite in the sunken lounge, the impressively huge backyard. What we loved the most was how perfectly Jane has achieved having a child friendly and grown up home at the same time- there are toys scattered throughout the home but you barely notice them, the furniture is well made with smart upholstery choices to hide everyday wear and tear and the occasional piece of children's furniture doesn't look out of place with the mix of antique and modern furnishings.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My/Our style: Our house is Edwardian, about 110 years old. The front part (where the bedrooms, sitting room and dining room are located) is the old part of the house. This section has all the usual features of this period, wooden floorboards, very high ceilings, leadlight windows, casement windows, plaster walls and very very bad wiring.
We have constructed a very modern extension on to the back of the house. This is a large area, with a sunken conversation pit which houses a couch, TV, fireplace and built in bar. It also has a kitchen, laundry and dining area, with lots of tall glass sliding windows looking out on to the garden.
Our style is probably minimalist eclectic. We do not believe in building things to look old, or trying to 'match' styles. I know a lot of people disagree with this approach (including our neighbours!) but we really wanted the new part of our house to be of a modern design and take advantage of all the light and seasons we have in Melbourne.
We have also travelled a bit especially in Asia, and we like to have those little buddhas and wooden statues on display — for the same reason everyone does — they remind us of our travels and they bring something special and authentic into a space.
Inspiration: We were inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe's 'glass box' style of modernist architecture. Another house we love is Skywood House in the UK which has very minimalist glass and white walls. At a more local level, we lived for a while in a little box penthouse built on top of the George Hotel in St Kilda, and we have built something rather reminiscent of this at the back of our house.
Favorite Element: I love the pit, as extravagant as it is. I can sit there, below ground level and look up at the sky and the trees. It is like being in a tree house.
Biggest Challenge: Being patient. Ensuring there was enough storage (there still isn't). Dealing with a very slow builder. Trying to visualize drawings is hard if you are not in the industry.
Dealing with change. For example due to the drought we had to drastically revisit our garden planning, hence the largely drought resistant front garden.
What Friends Say: They can't believe no one has ever fallen into the conversation pit. (In fact, if the pit had been just a few millimeters deeper it would have required a balustrade!)
Biggest Embarrassment: For many years (7 in fact) we had an unrenovated playroom with cork boards, half ripped up, yellow walls and 1960s brown cupboards. Last year we finally bit the bullet and put shelves in. I love this room with a passion now, just as well as we spend a lot of time in it working.
The other embarrassment still exists — I have managed to pretty much ruin part of our floor boards with my stiletto heels!! No one told me they could do this much damage…
Proudest DIY: Well we didn't do it ourselves but the best idea we had was to get a carpenter to very inexpensively cover the open carport with chip board and mirbau wood slats. We wanted the garage to look like a barn. Ultimately it was a much better solution than the very expensive demolition and rebuild job proposed by our architect.
Biggest Indulgence: Definitely the conversation pit. We had to pour a slab and have couches custom designed. A couple of builders we spoke to were convinced we would tire of it and tried to talk us out of it. It was worth it though!
Best advice: Not to renovate quickly. We had some silly and crazy ideas when we first moved about knocking walls through and changing the integrity of the older part of the house which we would have regretted.
I think you need to live through the seasons and get a feel for your house before you dive into any major projects.
Also — we sometimes take a long time to make up our minds. We thought for about a year, whilst we shivered on the hard tiles, about the right kind of rug for the pit and finally decided on a red shag pile.
Dream source:
Space Furniture in Richmond. Our built in sofas were based on a Space Design ('Harry').
Poliform in Richmond has amazing built in wardrobes
All those fantastic online sources who don't ship to Australia.
All kitchen appliances are Miele and are fantastic
But even better is the concealed over oven fan which is Australian and very powerful (from Qasair)
Most of our furniture is either from local antique dealers, given to us by family, or from local retailers like RG Madden. Also Kazari has excellent Japanese antiques.
Starburst chandelier in front sitting room from Surround in St Kilda
Red murano chandelier from Mondo Luce
Lights near conversation pit from Hub
Hallway shades from Vixen
Dulux Whisper White in back area
Dulux Half magnolia everywhere else
Dulux Flagstone on exterior
Floorboards (ruined now by my high heels) in front of house (these are the original boards)
Rugs and Carpets
All rugs except in pit from Behruz
Pit rug from Rugs by Design (sadly now out of business)
Tiles and Stone
Tiles in back area are reconstituted stone tiles from Sadler Tiles
Window Treatments
Blind in the back of the house is remote control. Very James Bond, and very necessary to block the light. These blinds are by Somfy
Our bed is from Poliform
We have some watercolours and pastel work by me.
We also have some works by Graham Fransella, George Raftopoulos and Nona Burden, all young(ish) Australian artists.
I could happily cover all my walls with paintings.
Thanks, Jane!

Paris Sweets: Great Desserts from the City's Best Pastry Shops
Greenspan, Dorie
Broadway Books
October 29, 2002
Read More, Buy It
Book Description
Dorie Greenspan's most vivid memory of her first trip to Paris doesn't have anything to do with the Eiffel Tower, but rather a heavenly strawberry tartlet. Overwhelmed by its extraordinary flavor, texture, and appearance, Greenspan was "hooked on Paris and hooked on the city's sweets." Paris Sweets is the result of 30 years of searching for the most delectable, delicious, awe-inspiring pastries she could find, and then convincing their creators to part with the recipes.
Scattered throughout this delightful book are whimsical illustrations and beautifully written stories about each of Greenspan's favorite pastry shops and the chefs who created them. Some of their recipes, such as Boulangerie Poilane's sweet, buttery, bite-size cookies called Punishments, are quick and easy enough for even a novice baker. And with Greenspan's clear, step-by-step, detailed instructions, Robert Linxe's Grandmother's Creamy Chocolate Cake, an elegant fudgy decadence, and Poujauran's rich, nutty-flavored Financiers, become child's play. Greenspan manages to demystify even the complicated multilayered Opera Cake from Dalloyau.
From the most perfect Crčme Brulee and Coffee Eclairs to the stunning Fresh Strawberry and Marshmallow Tart, made with homemade strawberry marshmallows, Greenspan will have you torn between making Paris Sweets at home and going there yourself. And in case you can do both, she's included all the addresses you need. --Leora Y. Bloom
From Publishers Weekly
Greenspan, the author of Baking with Julia and a frequent contributor to the food pages of the New York Times, here compiles recipes from "les bonnes adresses," collecting secrets for perfect madeleines, macaroons, apple tarts and other classic French desserts. She embellishes her cookbook with anecdotes and histories, explaining that, for example, crčme brulee is actually a Spanish invention (known there as crema catalana) and that Saint-Honoré is the patron saint of pastry chefs.... read more
Book Description
The prize-winning author of Baking with Julia (more than 350,000 copies sold), among other cookbook classics, celebrates the sweet life with recipes and lore from Paris's finest patisseries.
Like most lovers of pastry and Paris, Dorie Greenspan has always marveled at the jewel-like creations displayed in bakery windows throughout the City of Light. Now, in a charmingly illustrated tribute to the capital of sweets, Greenspan presents a splendid assortment of recipes from Paris's foremost pastry chefs in a book that is as transporting to read as it is easy to use.
From classic recipes, some centuries old, to updated innovations, Paris Sweets provides a sumptuous guide to creating cookies, from the fabled madeleine to simple, ultra-buttery sables; tarts, from the famous Tatin, which began its life as an upside-down error, to a delightful strawberry tart embellished with homemade strawberry marshmallows; and a glorious range of cakes-lemon-drenched "weekend cake," fudge cake, and the show-stopping Opera. Paris Sweets brims with assorted temptations that even a novice can prepare, such as coffee éclairs, rum-soaked babas, and meringue puffs. Evocative portraits of the pastry shops and chefs, as well as information on authentic French ingredients, make this a truly comprehensive tour.
An elegant gift for Francophiles, armchair travelers, bakers of all skill levels, and certainly for oneself, Paris Sweets brings home a taste of enchantment.

The new geography rooms at the Lower school site at Bemahague are ready to go, and our favourite "signpost" displays are already up to inspire the students in September.
The new school is obviously much larger the the old Park Road site, and so even the geographers are taking some time to find their bearings. The new geography room are in the Learning Zone, which is the central block as you enter reception. You can find our teacher rooms on the upper floor- room L301 and L311, and the geography office is L312.


text: Bomboloni. Little Italian doughnuts. Don't you love the name? It's fun to say. And they are fun to make. The dough is not hard and they take about 30 seconds to cook. It's fun to watch them turn from flat discs into little puffs as they fry. And they are so delicious made fresh (they're great the next day, too). Sometimes these are made with a stuffing of jam. Del Posto, Mario Batali's New York restaurant, has served these stuffed with an orange vanilla custard. These, however, are just plain and really good with some coffee.

Here's my problem with the sudden and meteoric rise of the fast casual dining experience. They charge the same money as any respectable, local restaurant for food that is lower in quality, higher in sodium and served in a less pleasant atmosphere.
A $10 burger at any chain is mediocre at best. Difficult to customize or not at all customizable. Half the time you ask for a different cheese and still receive the standard ammerican. Send it back you say? But I don't want to wait another 20 minutes and have spit in it.
The same $10 burger at a real, local restaurant will be twice the size, three times as juicy, better seasoned and made how you order it.
it will also feature a better bun, fresh fries and a pleasant dining experience unbeknowst to the fast casual universe.
I think people gravitate toward these restaurants because there's a perception that they have something unique to offer. But nothing could further from the truth. It's the same crap in a shiny new package.
Support your local eateries. Their actual chefs will do your burger right. At virtually the same price as all those corporate imposters.
Now if only the small restaurant had veggie patties it'd be a win all around.

- George Washington: Gentleman Warrior
George Washington: Gentleman Warrior
Winner of the prestigious George Washington Book Prize, George Washington is a vivid recounting of the formative years and military career of "The Father of his Country," following his journey from brutal border skirmishes with the French and their Native American allies to his remarkable victory over the British Empire, an achievement that underpinned his selection as the first president of the United States of America. The book focuses on a side of Washington that is often overlooked: the feisty young frontier officer and the early career of the tough forty-something commander of the revolutionaries' ragtag Continental Army.
Award-winning historian Stephen Brumwell shows how, ironically, Washington's reliance upon English models of "gentlemanly" conduct, and on British military organization, was crucial in establishing his leadership of the fledgling Continental Army, and in forging it into the weapon that secured American independence. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including original archival research, Brumwell brings a fresh new perspective on this extraordinary individual, whose fusion of gentleman and warrior left an indelible imprint on history.
