Just Fly Away by Andrew McCarthy (5 out of 5)
I'm not going to lie. I am hugely biased here. Andrew McCarthy is one of my favorite "Brat Pack" actors. I love all his movies. In 2013, I read his "armchair travelogue" The Longest Way Home. Yes, I loved it. I also love that this guy is still around in the public eye, and not in the actor's studio, either. I love that he is now a New York Times best-selling author. And now? Well, damn! Now he's written his first young adult novel. Don't rush out yet..It's out in April, courtesy of Algonquin Young Readers. But when April gets here? Go to your closest bookstore and pick up a copy. Right away. The copy that I read is an advance that came to the store, along with a wonderful handwritten note from Andrew. Yes, my 44-year old fangirl went a little crazy. And I put it on a place of prominence in my bookpile, to be read at a later date when I needed this. Well, on the heels of a week where the best word I can use to describe it was craptastic, I picked it up and started reading it. And didn't stop until I finished it. All in all, four hours. And it was a quiet, reflective 60-something day in Chicago- in February, no less!- with my Adam Ant CD playing loud and a hint of change in the wind. Reading this book? A great harbinger for change, family secrets and solidarity, and growing up. Growing up is hard, no question. And those days are often filled with smiles and sunshine, and others with tears and rain. This is life, and it was refreshing to read this story of an incredibly resilient and strong young lady who just can't handle a stunning reveal by her father. Lucy does what most free-spirited teens do in the wake of finding out something they disagree with and can't handle with the impetuous rush of youth- she flies away, to see her grandfather in New Jersey. Partially because her fond memories of them visiting him a long time ago (her grandfather and her dad are estranged) make her yearn for his company, and partially to get away from her immediate family after she goes postal in wake of her dad's confession. Once Lucy ("Lulu" to her granddad) gets there, they spend wonderful time together, and the growing relationship between the two is a wonderful thing to read and be a part of. It also made me wish my grandfather's were around to forge a relationship with. My dad's father died when my Dad was 7 or 8, from lung cancer he contracted while being a pipe fitter. My mom's lived for a long, long time, but none of us were very close to him due to him beating the crap out of my mom and her 9 other siblings when they were growing up. I think that made us more determined to stay close to the family that is around. Alas, like the book points out, your best intentions often do not come to fruition. In this case, also true.What do you do when life throws you a gigantic grapefruit? Life doesn't always work out as you hope. Lucy, as most of us do, finds out things aren't always guaranteed a happy ending, but you can create a lot of memories that will last a lifetime. I hope this book gets the audience it deserves. I also hope Lucy found the ending she deserved. What a great story.

Just got back last night from our trip through Romania and Italy. Our last week was spent running around the Italian peninsula and not having internet, which was why I haven't blogged. I also just finished Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, which I'll be blogging about later based on my notes. But for now, attempting to recover.
Tag: life
Delicious Wild Animals
I just got done eating a meal of wild boar, stuffed cabbage leaves, boiled potatoes, and sour cabbage, topped off with sweet homemade wine and Coca Cola.
I love visiting Romania
The Old Country
My wife and I arrived last night in Romania, where we'll be spending the next month (minus a week when we'll be in Italy). We're glad to be here, but getting here… is a little more difficult. Especially because my wife gets terribly nauseous on the plane. And that 16 hours of flying are followed by 8 hours of driving, all to reach my in-laws.
Some thoughts on travel:
- Airplane food isn't good, exactly, but it's free, and it also breaks up the monotony of sitting in that chair. Therefore I find that I look for much more than its quality deserves.
- Ciprian was a wonderful baby to fly with. He slept most of the time and happily played in his car-seat the rest of the time. And he flirted with the flight attendants to get whatever he wanted from them.
- Romania has potato chips flavored with Baked Chicken, Paprika, and Wild Mushrooms and Sour Cream. The mushroom flavored chips are delicious.
Can we please get over ourselves?
You know what my least favorite scifi trope is? Stories set in the future where the main character just happens to be really into "oldies" or "classics" from the present day.
The First Fiction of the Year
Back from a wonderful holiday in Colorado, which was inexplicably less snowy than the Seattle. (Snowpocalyptic Seattle: A ghastly wasteland covered in a mysterious white powder, rendering vehicles ineffective and striking terror into the hearts of everyone who dared venture outside.) I got to see my brother and his wife and their new baby, which was the highlight of the trip, plus I played Rock Band and Wii Sports.
(Aside: my parents bought a Wii. What kind of world is this where my parents buy video games for themselves? I may have more to say about this later.)
However, the first piece of fiction that I want to commend to you all is Sisters of the Blessed Diving Order of Saint Peter and Saint Andrew. The title does not contain a typo. Read it.
Out For The Holidays
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, every one. No blogging until after the new year. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.
I won!
This was a nice surprise: I got an email from Strange Horizons the other day letting me know that I had won. Evidently there was some sort of prize involved. I had given some money to their fundraising drive back when they were having it, which entered me in a drawing for an incredibly awesome list of prizes. A few of the items were already claimed by the time I got to pick, but nonetheless I'm walking away with a brand-new copy of Twenty Epics edited by Susan Groppi.
Thanks, Strange Horizons!

Ko Mook: Travel Information and Personal Experience
|The Thai island of Koh Mook in the Andaman Sea
During my adventure of island hopping around the Andaman Sea, I went to 9 different islands and I can consider the island of Ko Mook, also called Koh Muk, my favourite. I´m aware that people have different tastes and experiences on islands, so it might not be everybody´s favourite. But I found it well worth to dedicate a full article to this gorgeous island. So if you´re curious to my experience on this treasure hunting ´Cast Away´ island or if you´re planning to travel there yourself and are looking for some practical information, then just keep on reading. I will share my personal experience, things to do on the island and will include some practical travel information about this amazing island of Ko Mook.
My personal experience on Koh Mook
Ko Mook is a real ´Cast Away´ island!
I always wanted to go to typical tropical ´Cast Away´ island and even though I have been to smaller tropical islands like Caye Caulker in Belize, Veligandu Island on the Maldives, some islands on the Philippines and the Gili Islands between Bali and Lombok, for me they never made it completely like being on such an island you see in certain movies or series like Lost. For me they were either too touristic or too luxury for that. But on Koh Mook I felt like my dream came true!
|Koh Muk felt like being on a ´cast away´ island!
Ko Mook is also called Koh Muk: ´Pearl Island´ in Thai
The Thai word of ´Muk´ means pearl and I completely see where the name of this island comes from. The island is very untouched and a true example of a place where nature still outbalances humanity. I think it is a true pearl laying in the Andaman Sea. The main attraction of Koh Mook is the Emerald Cave, which might be the pearl of the island. The Emerald Cave got her name due to the blue-greenish colour from the sunlight reflecting upon the water which you can see when you are in the cave. But besides the emerald cave there are also hiking trails to do, you can kayak around the island, visit the local village and there´s even a scuba dive center.
|The Emerald Cave might be the pearl of the island
Why is Koh Mook my favourite island so far?
Well, I just loved the fact that the island is so robust with an overwhelming jungle, the most precious beaches and the chilled vibe of the local people. Even though there are many things to do which I will cover in this article, I also truly enjoyed just walking around the island where no cars drive around. For a relaxing day I would just walk across the island from my stay at Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort to Had Farang Beach, which takes about 30 minutes. Small roads where only tuk-tuks will pass by whilst children wave at you with a friendly ´Sava dee Kaa´ or you meet your bright smiling tuk-tuk taxi driver again who picked you up from the ferry: ´Hi Tony!´. You pass some local houses or fruitshake stands while the Thai people either are taking a nap or greet you also with a bright smile, in the meantime you´re constantly surrounded by an immense nature, hearing the jungle sounds and the most beautiful butterflies will cross your path all the time. For the night time you can go to Ting Tong Bar or Mong Bar where local island guys are copying Bob Marley on their reggae nights.
|Local Island Boys copying Bob Marley in Mong Bar
Spending the night with stormy weather, jungle noises and weird insects!
At night time the weather sometimes went really stormy with thunderstorms and heavy rains. I was staying in a small, budget beach hut in the Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort, which almost felt like camping. The hut was not more than a mattress on the floor, a fan and a bright pink mosquito net, which was absolutely necessary due to all the insects flying and crawling around at night. The attached bathroom was half open, and at some point there was something flying around which looked like a moth but had the size of a bird. I never ever saw something like this before in my life and I still don´t even know what it was but I was glad when it finally left again! Noises from the jungle made me sometimes having to push scary thoughts away: "What if a snake decides to come in?". It might not sound very attractive, but it really was. It was just part of the adventure and contributed to the overall amazing experience I had on the island of Koh Mook. The next morning you wake up with a calm sea, a brightly shining sun like the night and bad weather never happened. Yes, exactly like in these movies ´The Blue Lagoon´, ´Cast Away´, you name it even the serie ´Lost´ if you like. For me it didn´t really feel like Thailand but more like being on an island in the Pacific somewhere.
Things to do on Koh Mook
The Emerald Cave (Tham Morakot)
First of all you can´t miss a visit to the Emerald Cave. You can go there either by boat or take a kayak and go by yourself. If the weather conditions allow you, you can even kayak there all the way from Garden Beach Resort or Sivalai Beach. When I was there the sea was a bit rough on that side of the island, so we kayaked from Had Farang Beach, also known as Charlie Beach. It took us about 20 minutes to reach the cave. Once you´re there, I can recommend you to bring a torch, you enter the pitch dark cave and kayak through for a short distance, like 100 metres, before you arrive at a secret beach. If you go there by boat you can swim through the cave. The secret beach is surrounded by high cliffs and jungle, there´s no other way to reach this place than through the Emerald Cave.
Tips for visiting the Emerald Cave
- Avoid the crowds, from the tourists going here on a boat trips from other islands, by going there before 09.30 am or after 03.30 pm
- If you arrive after 03.30 pm you don´t pay the 200 Baht entrance fee
- Check the tides before you go in, you can only enter the cave during low tide
- Bring a torch or, if you don´t have one, take a waterproof cover for your cell phone with you.
|The secret beach after going through the Emerald Cave
Scuba Diving from Ko Mook
Although the dive center ´Chilled Out Divers´, is not running scuba dives anymore, what I found is that there are two dive centers operating at the time of writing. Because they might change, depending on the season and the amount of interest, make sure you check directly with them before you go there. As far as I´m correct, there´s one dive center in the luxury Sivalai Resort, called Trang Scuba Diving. Contact them here to check for availability and prices: http://www.trangscubadiving.com/contact/ The divecenter ´Princess Divers´ is located in the Charlies Beach Resort, close to Had Farang Beach. It is said to offer scuba diving from PADI courses to fun dives.
Tip for scuba diving Koh Mook
- Please make sure to check information before you go, if you´re planning to do some diving on Koh Muk. Lately things have changed and a dive center closed down so it´s a bit unsure what is happening in the future. So make sure to contact the dive centers to check what´s available and it might also be season dependent.
Hiking Trails on Koh Mook
|Koh Muk Island Map: treasure hunting?
Other then just crossing the island on the proper roads, which I already highly enjoyed, you can do a few proper jungle tracking hikes on Koh Mook. I name the following routes from staying at Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort, since the map on the photo shows the routes from there, on the right, close to the jetty if you can read this ´treasure hunting´- map! If you stay in the area of Had Farang Beach (Charlie Beach), you can add another 20 to 30 minutes from Had Farang Beach to Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort.
You can hike to the viewpoint which will take you over 45 minutes and a part of it is pretty steep. Make sure to wear hiking boots or proper sandals, I can not recommend to do this on flipflops. It can get a bit slippery with loose stones on a steep gradient. A nice time to do this hike if for sunset or sunsire. Expect monkeys and snakes!
|The view after hiking to the viewpoint
Sabai Beach
This trail is through a very tightly grown jungle. It might be recommended to put closed shoes for this one. There are no motortaxi´s or whatsoever allowed, this is pure nature. After hiking for about 1.30 hrs, you´ll arrive at a precious beach.
Mermaid Statue
Although there is not much left from the statue and the track is not very accessible, it is still another hike you could do. I didn´t do it myself and heard that the path is very overgrown, but if you´re in for another adventure, go for it!
Tips for hiking around Ko Mook
- Always make sure to bring enough water, sunscreen and mosquito repellent with you.
- Don´t forget your camera!
Visit the local village
There is a local village, on a short walk from Garden Beach Resort. Here you can find a small supermarket with basic stuff, some very nice places to eat and friendly people. You can also see the local school. I like how on Koh Mook the local people mix well with the tourists.
Tips for a visit to the village:
- Show some respect and dress yourself properly. You don´t have to cover yourself up but please don´t go wearing your bikini (girls) or no t-shirt (guys)
- The place ´Ma Kin Ni´ (to the right on the main path if you come from Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort) offers good food and fresh made coffees.
|The local school of Koh Mook
Other things to do & activities on Koh Mook
Other things to do include hiring a bicycle for either 50 or 100 Baht, depending on the bike and the shop. You can rent a kayak for 100 Bath per hour or for 300 Baht in total at Garden Beach Resort. If you find it too hot and don´t like to get too active you can rent a motorbike for 250 Baht. You can go snorkelling by yourself, book a day tour to Koh Kradan or do a snorkelling trip excursion. Shorlty, if you like hiking, cycling, kayaking, nice beaches and some quieteness with an amazing nature and some adventure, you can´t go wrong on the paradise island of Koh Mook! There are also yoga classes available on Had Farang Beach (Charlie Beach).
|Sunset Yoga Class on Had Farang Beach
Tip for activities on Koh Muk:
If you stay one week at Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort, you get a kayak for free for 1 day and they also offer free bicycle rent for her guests.
Practical Travel Information for the island of Koh Mook
How to get to Koh Mook?
You can reach Koh Muk by boat from the bigger islands Koh Lanta and Koh Libong, or the smaller surrounding islands including Koh Kradan and Koh Ngai. From the mainland it´s reachable from either Trang, Krabi or Phuket (Island). Even if you´re not looking into visiting more islands in the Andaman sea you can book the boat in combination with train or bus, depending on where you coming from. 12go.asia can book your complete trip to Koh Mook for you, from almost anywhere inThailand. They have all services available including boats, busses, trains and even plain tickets. Also, no matter if you´re looking for a fast speedboat and willing to pay a bit more or travel on a budget and take the slower ferry.
I´ve booked my ticket from Koh Lanta to Koh Mook locally on Koh Lanta but found that 12go.asia offers the same tickets for the same price. You can´t really go wrong with them since they offer and compare all different companies. You can click through from the links provided or use the search box below and I will get a small commission too. Thank you!
Are there any banks or ATM´s on Koh Mook?
|Look for this sign in the local village if you need cash
This is pretty important to know. There are no ATM´s on Koh Mook. And one friend I met on the island needed to leave at the day she planned to leave, because she didn´t bring enough cash with her while she actually wanted to stay longer. Actually, the next day I saw a sign from a shop doing cash out on your card, but I´m pretty sure they charge extra for it. If you need them, they are located in the local village, just look out for the above sign on the right before entering the mainstreet. There are no ATM-machines on Koh Muk, so the above only works for mastercard or visa.
At Dada´s place (Garden Beach Resort), you can pay on card, but I can recommend to check with your accommodation beforehand if they offer you this choice since it´s not very common yet at the time of writing.
There are places where you can change your money into Thai Baht.
Where to stay on Ko Muk?
Personally, I had a great stay in Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort. So I´ll start with this accommodation and can include some more information based upon my experience. After that I will name some place I´ve seen of heard about from other travellers I met. I will arrange them in price order, from budget to luxury.
Basic & Budget – Backpacker Style
Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort
My stay at Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort, also called ´Dada´s place´, was really good for a budget price! The place is a bit family ambient orientated so don´t go there if you´re looking for a party place, although I think this is hard to find on Koh Mook anyway. I met families staying here as well couples and single travellers. The place is right at the beach but you can only swim at high tide, although you´re at walking distance from the beautiful quiet beach at Sivalai Resort where you can swim. What I liked the most about this place was the feeling you´re staying in the jungle but are still at the beach, so you can hear the jungle sounds and the waves at night!
One thing to consider is that it´s a bit further away from Had Farang Beach, so if you like to hang out at night, keep in mind that most of the tuk-tuk taxis run till about 10 pm. After that, you can do a 30-minute jungle walk in the middle of the night! Although when we went to the reggae night, we found a guy willing to take us to Dada´s place on his tuk-tuk.
I found a very good deal on booking.com for a small beach hut, I only paid 500 baht per night, which is around €12,-. For a location right on the beach with the breakfast included. My hut was tiny though, but cosy too and with a bright pink mosquito net, a mattress on the floor and an open bathroom, it felt almost like camping! There´s a restaurant in the place and Dada, the owner, can help you organise anything you need from a day tour excursion to hiring a kayak or a motorbike. She also offers one of the cheapest prices on the island for excursions and hiring stuff.
You can book the place or find more information by clicking on this link.
|My small bamboo hut at Dada´s place
Other accommodations for a backpackers price
Other accommodations for a low budget traveller include Koh Mook Hostel, they offer beds in shared dorm rooms for 350 Baht including breakfast. Bamboo Hut Bangalow offers small huts for about the same price as Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort but they´re located a bit closer to Had Farang Beach (Charlies Beach), so you can walk home from Mong Bar.
Paying a bit more – Flashpacker Style
Phusam Big Resort
Other accommodations for the flashpackers include Koh Mook Coco Lodge which looked like a descent place, also located close to Koh Mook Garden Beach Resort. They offer bamboo bungalows for 900 Baht. Another good places I heard about in this area for this price category is Smile Bungalow, located close to the local village and offering bungalows for about 900 Baht.
Expensive – Luxury Style
Sivalai Beach Resort
Anything in between
Is Internet available on the island of Ko Muk?
What is the best time to visit Koh Mook?
The best time to visit the island is from November till April. The busiest time will be in December around Christmas and New Years, so make sure you book your accommodation well in advance if you´re planning to go around this time. If you go outside the season, from May till October, please make sure to check with ferry companies and accommodations because they might be limited or not available at all due to the rain season.
Any information I forgot to include about Koh Mook?
All taxi rides around the island cost 50 Baht. One other tip for walking around on the island at night is to bring a torch or use the torch on your cell phone. There is not much light if there´s no full moon. I hope you have a good idea by now about this truly amazing island of Koh Mook, Ko Mook, Koh Muk or however you like to call it. The name doesn´t matter, but the experience does and for me it was great. If you have any questions or if I forgot to cover anything, feel free to ask or share in the comment box below.

The Hardest Things To Do In Sports
By Jeff Wozer, Buffalo Sports Page Sports Humorist
Last week a friend asked what I thought are the two hardest things to do in sports. Before I could answer he answered, like most people, hitting a baseball followed by hitting a golf ball.
Maybe so.
But for me the hardest thing in sports is trying to organize drunks at a picnic to play volleyball.
It's like trying to herd goldfish with a stick.
Difficulty stems from picnickers viewing the picnic table like its a diving buoy, wanting be within 20 feet of it at all times. And if given the choice between quick access to beer and potato salad or attempting to deny a volleyball its gravitational rights, most will choose picnic table.
But on that rare occasion when you do manage to coax enough people to play the game itself, due to varying levels of interest, fails to reward your organizing efforts.
Most participants go through the motions, looking for a reason to escape and return to the picnic table. Some actually keep score. And there's always that one annoying hyper-serious rube – usually the guy wearing blade sunglasses – who plays with such James Bond-like intentsity you half expect that if the ball touches the ground a speeding bus will explode.
Consequently, after 65 minutes of organizing the game lasts no longer than 10 minutes. No payoff. No joy. Only frustration.
Second Hardest Thing in Sports – Maintaining Optimism While Watching the Bills In Preseason
Last week's game with the Eagles confirmed this ranking. Almost to the extent of knocking organizing drunks at a picnic to play volleyball from the top.
The Bills were flagged for 21 penalties. Officials tossed so many flags rumor has it that after the game head official, Ed Hochuli, was so exhausted from turning his wireless microphone on and off that he wept he openly.
Some in the know claimed the team was still in shock from the Watkins/Darby trades, resulting in the lack of focus and concentration. (Personally I think the team is distracted by the ugly and unexpected break-up between Cellino and Barnes. And quite frankly, who isn't? But this is another tangent for another time, perhaps.)
Regardless of the cause it does not deodorize the stench of the Bills having, after two preseason losses, more penalties (34) than points (26). The NFL record for most penalties in a season is 158 held by Kansas City. At this rate – averaging 17 penalties per game – the Bills, in a 16 game schedule, would shatter the mark with 272.
Yes, it's only preseason. And yes during the team's four-year Super Bowl run it never sported a winning preseason record, even going winless in 1990. But attempting to remain optimistic after these first two games burdens the mind.
A strong showing in this week's game against Baltimore would, perhaps, make it easier to feel encouraged about the approaching season. And maybe, if so, maintaining Bills optimism would drop to third on my Hardest Thing to do in Sports list behind feigning wide-eyed interest at my nephew's middle school soccer games.

Smiling Watermelon's Amazon Store
I'm sure all of you have seen that cute Sophie giraffe over there on the right side of this blog
and maybe some of you have clicked on it and were taken to this page
It is my Amazon store.
I choose products from Amazons selection and add them to my store. Many of the items that I used and liked are in there, like the twin nursing pillow I used.
And then there are items that I wish we had bought instead of what we did, like the first years bottle drying rack
rather than the Skip Hop one we did, because it looked cool,
but it's really not very functional. We've made due with it because we had it but if I had to do it over, I'd go with the First Years one.
Here's the cool thing about an Amazon store if someone, anyone buys something from amazon weather it is in my Amazon store or not I get paid a referral fee from Amazon! It's a tiny amount but if all of you who shop on Amazon clicked on little Sophie Giraffe
and then went to shopping it could add up. And that could mean free diapers! We use a lot of diapers, about 14 a day or 280 a month, and I get them all conveniently and automatically delivered to my house from Amazon on a monthly basis with my Amazon Mom and Subscribe and Save Subscription.
I actually buy a lot of things from Amazon, I'll check the price of something at Target or Walmart, if it's the same price I get it from Amazon, because it gets delivered, which saves me time and gas! And then there are those times when I know I won't be getting to the store in the next two days so I'll order whatever I just need soon from amazon and know that it will be here in two, three days at most. Amazon really is a Moms and maybe every busy bees best friend. The girls like Amazon too, they often have sales on great toys or baby items, but to be honest, the boxes are their favorite part.
And the best part about shopping through the Smiling Watermelon Favorite Baby Products Amazon store you still use your Amazon account, your own Prime membership, Your Amazon Mom Membership and your Subscribe and Save account. It won't cost you anything extra it just give us a bonus!
So when you are stuffed to the gills this holiday weekend and you plop down on the couch to start your online shopping spree don't forget the steps
Favorite baby products
Powered by Amazon
it's that easy! Happy Shopping! And thanks in Advance.
Oh and setting up your very own Amazon store is really easy to, all you need is an Amazon account and a social security number. If you have a blog or even just want to recommend your own set of products on Facebook or twitter you should.
Safe Travels This weekend!

A general picture suggests that humid and mesothermic climates predominated throughout most of the Late Cretaceous and Tertiary in Mediterranean ecoregions where subtropical forests were dominating. The onset of Mediterranean climates is relatively young, and pale-oclimatic reconstructions demonstrate that cooling and drying, with the combination of summer drought and mild winter temperatures rose quite rapidly in Late Miocene or Early Pliocene (c. 5-3 Ma). In the Mediterranean Basin, a gradual but deep climatic change occurs during the Pliocene (3.5-2.4 Ma), with a significant drop in temperature and a marked seasonality in thermal and rainfall regimes; the stabilization of the summer drought arises here at c. 2.6 Ma. Concomitant with the appearance of Mediterranean-climate conditions, a massive ecological radiation was initiated in the Late Miocene-Pliocene. However, there are also phylo-genetic evidences of earlier radiation events during the Oligocene involving geographic speciation; this is the case of the shrub genus Protea (Proteaceae) in South African fynbos and the geophytic genus Androcymbium (Colchicaceae) in xerophytic grasslands of South Africa and the Mediterranean Basin. The deterioration of Tertiary warm climates resulted in the extinction of several subtropical and warm-temperate species during Plio-Pleistocene, but historical discrepancies exist between the Mediterranean ecoregions, from the point of view of the impact of environmental changes and the macroscale process of species recolonization after drastic climatic events.
Mediterranean ecoregions closely situated to subtropical regions and without major geographical barriers between these two biomes have significantly experienced moderate cases of species extinctions, because of possible latitudinal shifts in species range or a higher climatic stability. This is the case of the eastern lowlands of the Cape Floristic Region, where patches of subtropical thickets and warm-temperate forests are still dominated by trees and shrubs of paleotropical and Gondwanian affinities. These highly species- and genus-rich formations are extremely ancient, with many elements phylogenetically basal to the western Cape species. The precise timing of this lineage diversification is still unknown but geographic speciation was probably the key process.
In south-central Chile, the actual coastal forests at mid-latitudes remained fairly stable despite major climatic and tectonic changes in southern South America during the Pleistocene. These forests are indeed characterized by a notable evolutionary stability, favoring the conservation of ancient species assemblages. The nearest ancestor of the Mediterranean sclerophyllous vegetation of Chile corresponds probably to the Neogene subtropical paleoflora that occured in the Proto-Andean foothills of this area during the lower to mid-Miocene (c. 20-15 Ma), and the pre-Pleistocene paleofloras were developed under a more humid and warmer paleoclimate induced by an Andean rain shadow effect.
In California, shrublands (chaparrals) are composed of temperate, subtropical, and desert elements. Many of these Californian chaparral genera appeared in the Early Tertiary, following the trends since the Eocene toward cooler and drier climates. This sclerophyllous flora seems to have arisen as an understory component of evergreen woodlands and form only the chaparral in response to the latter appearance of the Mediterranean climate and related increased disturbance by fire. During unfavorable periods, southward migration of species in Baja California or central Mexico, or their location in southern coastal refugia and subsequent recolonization explain the actual persistence in California of several outstanding trees (Sequoia, Sequoiadendron, Tsuga, Umbellularia, etc.), whereas these genera have disappeared around the Mediterranean sea because of the existence of several east-west oro-graphic and maritime barriers which prevent putative latitudinal migrations of species.
Moreover, in the Mediterranean ecoregion, climatic coolings during the Neogene have provoked severe extinctions, for example, of 45 genera of megathermous and warm-temperate ligneous species distributed in the northwestern part of the Mediterranean sea. The main diversification of the Mediterranean Basin species took place during the Miocene, notably in conjunction with the collision of the African and Eurasian platforms through the Arabian Plate. Recurrent episodes of species dispersal and vicariance have occurred between the eastern and western Mediterranean regions due to several marine regressions/transgressions and the ongoing rise of Alpine and Atlas orogenesis. Another major biogeo-graphic event of the end of the Tertiary is the closure of the Mediterranean-Atlantic gateways (now the Gibraltar Strait). This episode known as the Messinian salinity crisis (5.77-5.33 Ma) induced a considerable evaporation of the Mediterranean Sea and the formation of several land bridges suitable for dispersal-vicariance events and species radiations. Thus, the Mediterranean species pool arises from diverse biogeographic origins and if it includes still some subtropical species, mostly originated from African and Asian lineages, the extratropical species of autochthonous and northern lineages predominate.

Onboarding new Proxyclick users
The challenge
What happens right after sign-up makes or breaks any web product. This is why, Proxyclick asked us: "How might we increase the likelihood that new users will successfully adopt their product?'
Proxyclick's customers can try the product for 30 days before deciding whether they want to pay for it or not. To increase conversion, Proxyclick needed to convince users of its solution as soon at they tried it.
Why do people hire Proxyclick?
You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. This is why together with Proxyclick's team we tried to nail-down the "job stories". We asked ourselves why someone would hire Proxyclick to manage the company's visitors? What is the situation they don't want to be anymore? What is the burning motivation that's driving them to adopt a new way of doing things? We got these answers from phone interviews with new Proxyclick users, who had recent the experience of researching for a way to manage the company's visitors.
Figure 1: Companies don't sell just products but the aspiration for people to do things better than before.
The result is a series of screens after sign-up that welcome and guide new users, while introducing them great product features that will be decisive for sticking with Proxyclick.
Figure 2: Asking only what is necessary.
Figure 3: Personalised welcome, describing succinctly what's next.

Is it fall yet?
The past month or so in the midwest has been a heat advisory fest. As much as I love our cute fourth floor walk up apartment, when heat rises and there's not so much as a breeze to move it around it makes us a little crazy. I've been ready for the heat to break for a while now.
More recently we've seen temperatures in the more manageable mid-eighties, and I'm guessing this "cold-snap" has made the wild-life around campus a bit more active. Like this friend who was hanging out by the bird feeder ALL DAY last week.Dear Wild Turkey,
You might be enjoying these hot days and dreading the coming autumn. But I'm looking forward to it with comfy sweaters and a roasting pan. You might want to move on before then.

March 30, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
4th July 2011
The Financial Times (paywall) website has reported that proposals aimed at providing up to €30bn ($43.6bn) in financing for Greece had been made conditional on rating agencies not downgrading Greece's debt.
But S&P said on Monday that any rollover would be a "distressed" transaction and would lead it to lower Greece's rating as selective default.
Last month the third-largest rating agency, Fitch said it would declare Greece to be in default if commercial banks agree to roll loans over.
Over the weekend, the European Union warned Greek growth would seriously contract over the rest of the year.

Next RCGP chair plans GP returners programme
The next RCGP chair is set to launch a campaign to reduce the barriers stopping GPs returning to work in a bid to plug the current shortage in the profession.
RCGP chair elect Maureen Baker, who will succeed Professor Clare Gerada as RCGP chair in November, said that she would be campaigning strongly for a change in the regulations which mean that at present it is very difficult for GPs who have not worked in the NHS for the last two years to get back into NHS general practice.
She said there was an urgent need to develop a strategy to 'get the most of the trained GP workforce in the short term.'
She added that this would involve an increase in funding from the NHS in order to both train more GPs in the long-term and help retain more GPs in the short term.
Dr Baker said said that the barriers stopping GPs returning to work or increasing the number of hours they work needed to be removed.
She said: 'This is about both increasing retention rates which is a real problem, and making sure any barriers to people working or working more are removed.
'At present GPs who want to come back into the NHS must apply to their deanery - who must identify a practice where they can be mentored - and get back onto the performers list.
'Some deaneries and practices have funding for this and some don't, there is a whole rainbow of different provision.'
Readers' comments (8)
This is the answer to the shortage problems? I'm sure it'll have a minor effect on nos. but surely concentrate on stopping the large nos. of full time GP's near retirement from retiring early.
I suspect those criticizing Gerada will see how bad it gets very quickly . It seems a little bit wasteful in terms of time for the new chair of the RCGP to make this her flagship campaign
Are you joking?
I couldn't wait to take VER and get a proper life outside of medicine. Really proud to never have paid a penny to that bunch of jokers called the RCGP's too during my 30+ye career.
General practice is dying and in no small part due to the RCGP's not standing up for hard working GPs who are concerned mostly about real patients and NOT the academic twaddle peddled by them.
My advice is once you leave medicine STAY WELL AWAY
We have failed to create a blalanced workforce that has sufficient numbers of people able to work full time, and we have failed to create a working environment that allows aspiring fulltimers to work those hours whilst retaining their own health and sanity.
The chickens are home, tucked up in bed and fast asleep.
I'd love to be a GP returner- Ie returning to the job I used to love. I cut back to 4 days a week to cope with the stress. I just do 4x 12-14 hour days and have to catch up on my 'day off', if that isn't my additional hours day or Saturdays unless in Saturday surgery. So stupid!! The crisis is already here that I can't cope with full time and I'm not depressed or mad just realistic that I want to see a pension. RCGP is becoming irrelelvant and I may quit soon and use the fee on Shiraz. Any returners reading this- DON'T. Enjoy life. If you can cope without the job do so.

Sometimes you spend so much time in the kitchen, hunched over a notebook that's splattered with grease, pages stuck together with god-knows-what, trying to capture every added teaspoon to build into a shareable recipe. Sometimes you just crave a free-for-all dumping of culinary creativity that screams, "You can't contain me in a recipe with a bolded title and an italicized subtitle! I'm a wild horse! A maverick! My genius shall not be published on the internet!"
And then sometimes you crave simple, whole foods, and refrigerated agnolotti, since it would just be too easy to just get ravioli, and you don't want to give up your prime spot as a pretentious foodie just yet.
As you might be able to tell, though, agnolotti are really just half-moon-shaped filled pastas. They're very similar to raviolis, but a little special.. and we found an excellent package of a porcini-stuffed variety that was too good to pass up.
I pinned this recipe during the summer semester, when O might still have to make dinner on a particularly busy night for me, which means it needs to be simple.. but good enough for my unfairly high maintenance tastebuds. Luckily for us, this was that.
The wholeness of the salmon and spinach, cooked simply, paired with the guilty white flour of the dough and earthiness of the mushrooms in the agnolotti worked so well for a simple weeknight dinner. Top with a simple garlic, butter, and parmesan sauce, and it might even be enough to pull off for a simple dinner party.
Salmon, Spinach, and Agnolotti
Adapted from a Better Homes and Gardens recipe, found on Pinterest
- 1 9-ounce package refrigerated porcini- or other mushroom-agnolotti (I found this easily at our regular grocery store, but if not available, try a cheese agnolotti or ravioli)
- 1 lemon
- 2 6-ounce skinless, salmon fillets
Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 6-ounce package baby spinach
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Shredded Parmesan cheese
2.Meanwhile, halve lemon. Squeeze juice from one half of the lemon; cut remaining half into small wedges. Set lemon juice and lemon wedges aside. Rinse salmon; pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat; add salmon; cook for 6 to 8 minutes until salmon just flakes, turning once. Remove salmon; add spinach to skillet. Cook 1 minute or until spinach just begins to wilt. Remove spinach from skillet. Add lemon juice, garlic and butter to hot skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts. Add in white wine. Cook and stir about 3 minutes more.
4. Slice salmon and divide among 4 plates. Add ravioli and spinach; pour pan juices atop. Serve with lemon wedges and pass Parmesan.Makes 4 servings.

It smells wonderful while cooking, however my husband and I agreed that the flavor was slightly muted and not nearly as "bright" as we'd hoped. I will likely make this dish again but will perhaps let the cilantro and lemon mixture sit on the chicken for a bit before sticking it in the slow cooker. I also may try using butter rather than the canola oil.

Taste Perfect.

Made just as stated using Pino Grigio .very good, very easy. Smells wonderful cooking all day.
Jan 17, 2013
Easy to make and affordable . Put it on ,set the timer ,for get about it while getting on with your day , then come home ,toss a quick salad , heat some yeast rolls ,pour a glass of wine, light a candle,and dine ! Delishous !

I tried this last night and everyone was dying for dinner after walking in the house and smelling it. The taste lived up to the smell. My kids were asking during dinner when I'd be making this dish again. It's a keeper!
Jan 15, 2013
Excellent! Quick easy meal with a fantastic flavor. I actually prepped the chicken 24 hours ahead to let the chicken absorb the flavors of the cilantro, lemon and garlic. The sauce was perfect, I just let it set for 10 minutes which made it easy to skim the fat and thicken with corn starch. I actaully would probably reduce the salt by half since our family normally do not use much salt.

Excellent flavor in this dish. I did not use a whole chicken, as advised. Substituted no skin chicken breasts instead. Took the mixture and it 'stuck' to the frozen breasts. Used chicken broth, as didn't have any wine. Cooked high 1 hr and then low till done. Excellent! Very tasty and is probably very good with whole chicken, I just don't like the dark meat. The 'gravy' was awesome. Next time will try with the white wine instead of broth. Bet it is even better!
Jan 14, 2013
This recipe was delish! The only thing I changed was I reduced the salt by half. I was afraid it would come out too lemony, but it was just right. Next time, I will use boneless skinless chicken parts. That way I can just thicken the gravy and serve.
Jan 14, 2013
I tried this recipe yesterday but I substituted hotel-style turkey breast for the chicken. It came out very moist. I used the amount of salt the recipe called for but found it was too salty for our taste since we usually don't add salt to most of our recipes. I will try the recipe again but will leave out the salt.
Jan 14, 2013
I just made this recipe and thought it was wonderful. The chicken was moist and the recipe easy. I had company and everyone enjoyed.

It seems Atlanta and Austin are decidedly on the same seasonal schedule.
I want to fling myself upon that moss in the second photo. Hopefully no fire ants there, tho? Those hurtful critters do keep me from much bodily moss flinging here in TX.
Thx for commenting on FB, finally got back on after a log-in glitch. (Wrote my new password down this time, whoohoo.)

I've seen a lot of car cleaning, too.
Granny Annie -
My mom used to say that little poem just like that!
Thank you - I those flowers are coming your way shortly. I know it.
Sara -
I like that term, too. And I LOVE Japanese magnolias - they always seem to be in some yard I'm not stopped in traffic in front of, so I haven't snapped any photos of them, but they are so lovely.

Elephant's Child -
I like that - morning magic.
Talon -
Don't be - it's coming your way before you know it. Isn't "amok" a great word?
Riot Kitty -
Yes - except I'm always just walking hard for exercise.
Snaggle -
Yes - everything seems to be at least two weeks late, in general.
Jannie -
I don't know - there might be fire ants, but I haven't seen any yet. Maybe it's still too cold out. :)
It was good to see you and Kelly on fb. :)

A walking tour through the historic village of Bramber.
We explore the remains of the Norman castle, built following their conquest of England in 1066, and its strategic importance in securing Norman dominance of the area.
We also hear about the final significant role the castle played in English history; the altercation between the Roundheads and Royalist troops during the Civil War which preceded the escape of King Charles II through Bramber to France!
The tour starts from opposite the Castle Inn, The Street (BN44 3WE). Parking is available in the nearby car park. The tour lasts for 1 hour and 45 minutes (approximately) and will finish by St. Mary's House, The Street (BN44 3WE).
The level of walking involved is moderate, and it covers approximately 2.7kms. Please note, the walk involves a climb to the top of Bramber castle, including a flight of steps (followed by the inevitable decent). We'll also be exploring at the top of the castle, walking off established paths, and appropriate footwear is recommended.

The imprisoned Manuel Noriega, Panama's former dictator, is asking for forgiveness from his country for his past actions.
In his first interview since a 1996 sit down with CNN's Larry King, Noriega told local television network Telemetro that he wants to "close the cycle of the military era as the last commander of that group asking for forgiveness."
In response to specific questions about the still unresolved murders of two prominent opponents, Noriega said that he was "totally at peace" with himself and that he didn't want to distract from the "solemnity" of his apology.
Noriega claims that his apology is not motivated by any self-interest, and that he genuinely wishes to bring closure to the military era the ended with the U.S. invasion of Panama and his arrest in 1989. However, some see his apology as a ploy to garner good will toward him and eventually achieve house arrest. At the age of 81, his lawyers have argued that he should be granted house arrest.
While not everyone may be buying the sincerity of Noriega's apology, he is getting some high-level support. Current President Juan Carlos Varela has urged Panamanians to forgive the former dictator, saying, "He asked forgiveness and I believe as a Christian that all of us must forgive. The Panamanian people have already overcome that period of the dictatorship."
Panama's Archbishop Jose Domingo Ulloa echoed Varela's message of forgiveness, saying that Noreiga's apology would be the right step forward for the country to "turn the page" on its military past.
After completing a 20-year sentence in the United States for drug charges, in 2010 Noriega was extradited to France to serve time for money laundering. He then was sent to Panama in 2011 to serve a 60-year sentence for murder, corruption, and embezzlement during the military's three-decade rule.
