Michael Phelps' latest love interest is 22-year-old Sarah Herndon, according to an interview with the waitress/model from California (the same description as his previous flame, Megan Rossee, whom he dumped just after Christmas). He and Herndon met in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, just before Christmas; fished for lobster in the Bahamas after the holidays and had an evening of sushi and "Zero Dark Thirty" back in Baltimore. Here's a report.
By Hugo Daniel
For Coleman-Rayner
Michael Phelps charmed his latest love interest on a romantic lobster fishing trip — jumping into the water and joking, "This is my home, too, you know."
Sarah Herndon was whisked to the Bahamas by the Oympic champion for a romantic five-day break of fishing, snorkeling and tropical sunsets.
In an interview, Herndon, a 22-year-old waitress, beamed, saying: "Michael's a good kisser. He's very cuddly and kissy, which is cute. He's charming and a gentleman.
"He's got like a confident side to him to that makes you want more. But he's very sweet at the same time."
She added: "Michael's body is obviously great. I mean, he's an athlete. He's got a great sculpted body. He's obviously been a swimmer, like, forever.
"There's not really much bad you can say about it."
However, she said, "What happens between me and Michael intimately is our business. And not something I care to talk about with anyone else besides us.
"I did stay in his room, but I'm not going to say that he's a good lover or anything. I would never talk about something like that.
"Michael is a very affectionate, sweet guy. That's all I'm going to say. I'm really happy to have got to know him on a more personal level," she said.
Describing a special moment on a lobster fishing expedition off a remote Bahamas island, Herndon said: "It was sunset and the water was so teal and clear — really beautiful.
"We were holding hands, and he was putting his arm around me when I was cold. He's really caring and affectionate. He would kiss me in front of his friends — you could tell he was happy to have me there.
"He was treating me like I was his girl."
And Phelps' aquatic skills were put to good use when it came to catching that night's dinner.
She said: "He ended up diving in with the driver of the boat and pulling up the lobster. It was really funny -- he was telling them, 'You know, I live in the water, too!'
"Michael was really great at it. He was really excited to catch the lobster."
Herndon told how she met Phelps just before Christmas while on a family holiday to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
While out clubbing with her three sisters (twins Rachel and Rebecca, 18, and Krista, 19), the women were handpicked by workers to come and sit at Phelps' table.
Herndon said: "Me and all my sisters were dancing on the bar. A worker came up to us and wanted us to go and hang out at his table. He said, 'Michael Phelps is coming; I want you there'."
Herndon split with her boyfriend of 15 months at the beginning of December while Phelps recently dumped Megan Rossee.
So the pair drowned their sorrows with champagne and vodka mixers and got close for the first time on the dance floor.
Herndon said: "We danced, but we were just more talking. There was definitely an attraction, but nothing really happened that night. We both talked about how we were both recently single. He didn't say a lot. He just said it didn't work out [with Megan]. It didn't sound too fun. I think that's just what happens when you break up with people.
"When we left, he asked for my number. And he ended up getting in touch with me the next day."
Phelps, 27, invited the women to a party at his friend's house.
Herndon, who's also a model, said: "He was really sweet. We didn't know him super well when we walked in, and he was like 'sisters!' — just all excited."
After the women left, Phelps texted Herndon again, she said: "He said 'I'd really like to see you more. Can you stay an extra day with me?'
"I was having the best time ever in Cabo, and I really wasn't ready to leave so to be able to stay and hang out with a cool guy. I was definitely stoked."
Herndon got the green light from her fire-captain dad and changed her flight.
The next day she hung out with Phelps as he played golf.
She said: "I got to meet a lot of cool people. George Clooney was just there and I just missed him. Michael is good friends with George's girlfriend, Stacey Keibler. He was hanging out with them the night before."
That night, "We kissed. We stayed with each other that night and got to know each other."
The pair then flew their separate ways for Christmas, but Phelps soon invited Herndon to the Bahamas.
She agreed, and Phelps paid for her flight and emailed her a ticket. She joined him and a group of his friends at the Atlantis resort on January 11, where he was playing a poker tournament with his housemate, Jeff Gross.
At Atlantis, Phelps impressed Herndon with pranks on his friends.
She said: "He definitely likes to do pranks. He, like, filled the trash can with water and then tilted it against the door and then he would knock on one of the guys in the morning, when they were kind of hung over, and it would spill water all over them. It was pretty funny."
Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, was also "constantly gambling" and could bet up to $10,000 in a night.
Herndon said: "He was constantly betting all the time, like quirky bets with other people which was quite entertaining.
"He likes coming up with funny bets. He bets big money — like, thousands of dollars.
"He told a friend of his, 'Heads or tails,' and told him to pick any amount between zero and $1,000. His friend picked $1,000, and Michael won. The guy was like, 'How about double or nothing?' and they doubled it to $2,000 and MP won tails again. He showed me the check later.
"He would have, like, five bets at the same time with his friends. He bets on football, and he bet someone he would lose a certain amount of weight in a month.
"He doesn't take it too seriously or get too upset if he loses. He'll just bet on something else. He doesn't get nervous about anything. I don't think I saw him get nervous once in his golfing or anything. He just knows that he can do something if he puts his mind to it, which is cool."
After Atlantis, the pair took a plane and boat to the remote island Great Guana Cay where they were guests of the owners of exclusive Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club.
At the retreat, the couple enjoyed a private chef who cooked bacon omelettes in the morning and steak and fish for lunch and dinner.
Asked how Phelps keeps his swimmer's body, Herndon said: "He definitely eats healthy. He was getting up pretty early and going to the gym, like 8 or 9 a.m. I think he mainly likes to swim as his cardio, but he was pretty relaxed. He's not on a strict schedule right now. I just think he has that body already implanted on him, and he doesn't have to try that hard anymore."
Phelps was again filming his reality golf show "The Haney Project," but he broke away for the lobster trip and to take Herndon snorkelling.
"He took my hand and tried to find me some fish. I thought he must be wearing snorkeling fins ... he was so fast, but he wasn't! I'm like, 'We're going really fast,' but it was just his swimming. He's an amazing athlete," she said, giggling.
By night the pair enjoyed romantic evenings on their patio drinking wine and going to the beach bars.
Herndon said: "He is a good dancer. He's cute. He's really smooth about the way he sings. He, like, raps and dances. It's cute. He would kiss me when he we were dancing. We were just getting close."
After the vacation, Phelps invited Herndon to fly back to Baltimore with him for a date night.
She said: "He invited me to go on the private jet with him to Baltimore. It was awesome. He threw me over his shoulder as we went to go on the plane.
"He showed me around a little bit, and then we went for sushi and saw the movie 'Zero Dark Thirty.'
"It was romantic. He's a great date. He's a gentleman, very polite. I'm sure he gets that from his mother — they're pretty close."
Phelps invited Herndon to watch the Ravens in the Super Bowl, but she declined because she had prior arrangements with friends.
Herndon says she doesn't want to be called his girlfriend yet and they've agreed to take things slowly.
She said: "He brought up possibly going to the Super Bowl, but I had some plans to be with some friends in San Diego already.
"But he's going to Vegas next week, and I might go with him. He's coming out here to L.A. in a few weeks, and I'll see him then.
"We're both, like, newly single, and we're still getting to know each other. It's just really casual right now. It was, like, too soon to talk about being exclusive, but we talked about how we had a great time and how we would see each other soon.
"Later on we may become a couple, but we're not going to rush into anything. He's a great guy."

was doubt whether the State College of Florida was a deserving No. 1
team in Perfect Game's pre-season overview of the nation's top 50 junior college teams, especially when Florida's initial
in-state ranking of the 2014 season had unbeaten Tallahassee
Community College at No. 1 and the Manatees at No. 3.
burst out of the gate by winning its first 11 games of the season to
surge past the State College of Florida in the highly-competitive
state JC rankings. But the Manatees left little doubt that they were
the top team in the state—if not in the nation—when they trekked
to Tallahassee this weekend and swept the Eagles in a three-game set.
Manatees moved to 12-3 on the season and retained their ranking as
the nation's top team in PG's first in-season ranking of the Top
25 junior-college teams.
expected, the Manatees have gotten key contributions from their ace
pitcher, Missouri-bound righthander Reggie McClain (4-0, 0.64), and
versatile Ryan Valdes, a Florida State transfer who has played a key
role in center field (.471-0-10, 7 SB) and as a closer (1-0, 0.00, 2
SV, 8 IP/14 SO). Additionally, freshman righthander Dustin Hagy, the
team's top prospect, has gotten off to a solid start (1-0, 2.35, 15
teams that are 13-1 in the early going and had posted better records
than the State College of Florida, No. 2 Howard (Texas) and No. 3
Chattahoochee Valley (Ala.), made the most significant advances in
the Top 25. Those teams were ranked Nos. 11 and 12, respectively,
prior to the season.
the Manatees, Chattahoochee Valley has made significant strides
behind the inspired play of another former Florida State player,
red-shirt sophomore shortstop John Holland, who is hitting .426 and
leads the Pirates in homers (3), RBI (17) and stolen bases (8).
Holland transferred to Chattahoochee Valley after seeing extensive
time as a freshman for the Seminoles before missing the 2013 season
with a back injury.
is the best position player I believe I have ever seen," said
Chattahoochee Valley coach Adam Thomas. "His abilities are
game-changing, and his intangibles are out of this world. He is the
best player in our league, hands down."

Remember Peter Weir's The Cars That Ate Paris? Evidently VW doesn't.
At the latest model's local launch, the presentation included a menagerie of Beetle movie montages ... without a single reference to the 1974 Aussie classic.
For those not into low-budget camp horror, an early Bug brandishing spiky armour sets out for Vee Dub The Impaler-style revenge on the eponymous NSW town's murderous residents.
Now, VW's oversight is ironic, because butching up the modern Beetle's twee image was priority die nummer eins for this, only the third in 75 years.
To that end, VW has fashioned a longer, lower, and proportionally truer post post-modern Beetle to the rear-engined Type-1 original.
Minus the spikes, of course.
Full story here.

The Prime Minister riding a horse loaned by the Metropolitan Police to the editor of The Sun. Satirists, lay down your pens. Life wins.
So says this guy, but it was ever thus - the various mansion-dwellers of the Palatine compete to proclaim their ostentatious devotion to the grubby Aventine plebs, but forget their differences every night while they rut their way around the Subura.

Is this the Beginning of the End?
Marc Avery / AP
You also begin to breathe deeper and the feeling of impending doom begins to filter through your head. There is something coming, and you feel it in your bones, but you are unaware of the aspects of unadulterated shock and awe that bombards your senses in just a few moments. You are drawn like a moth to a flame to the horror and dismantling being played out in front of you. You longingly gander at the instance of tragedy and the impending agony beginning to settle in front of your eyes. In the back of your mind, you are grateful it did not get thrust upon you that day.
You begin to act nervous and uneasy in your chair, looking for a place to guide your eyes to take this image out of your mind, to replace the scene with familiar things, better things, things that do not denote the events unfolding on the field. And unfortunately, you get that personal, up-front view of the whole thing. The carnage in front of you doesn't take a property toll or even a life, but the events still throw you through the total gambit of shock and awe, and you wish you were somewhere else.
You want to be somewhere else, you want to crawl anywhere, do anything, see something else in your mind's eye for a moment to take you away from the sounds and the motions of this events unfolding in front of you. Through more and more violent motions until that third out was clutched by B J Upton. And you hoped that it is all over……. or is it?
And in that silent moment, you notice the Rays players as they jogged off the field with their heads down, just barely glancing into the stands as they entered the Visitor's dugout, stun and emotionally embarrassed of what had just unfolded in front of them. And the worst part was the fact they were all helpless and could only contribute when the flight of the ball and the flow of the game let them help. For once this proud team was powerless to the fury that unfolded in front of them.
You had a bit of uneasy confidence in going into that bottom of the fifth inning with a slim 3-1 lead. You knew that offensive woes have been the devil to this squad all season on the road, but tonight you almost got the feeling it might be enough to bring it home. But there was no way to honestly foresee the coming carnage within the next 50+ pitches. Matt Garza, who had great control most of the evening was not a candidate for a free fall that would see this game turn so fast. You knew that Garza was beginning to elevate the baseball, but something demoralizing as the next inning never played out in your mind.
And it was a bit surreal that the site of such an implosion would be on the same mound, the same stadium that evoked another meltdown of Garza a year earlier. Garza had taken measures after that chaos to gain control of himself, and you had no idea that such a event was to again unfold on that very same mound. And in a blink of your eyes you saw that uncomfortable 3-1 lead melt away like the last snow of Winter.
The damage was not subtle, it was not drawn out, it was a violent explosion of power and ability that had laid under the surface of this Rangers team all night. You knew the potential for damage was high with this Rangers team, but so far in the contest Garza had tamed the beast within. In the next long hour you saw a constant rush of a dozen or so emotions entangle your brain and pull on your heart strings. You felt for this Rays team, and empathized with their pain. You wanted to do anything in your power to stop the implosion, but it was too late.
And you did not want to see Garza, Jeff Bennett or Dale Thayer take any more of this constant barrage of the Rangers bats. You wanted it to all end, you yearned for a reprieve from the past hours events. In your mind you knew you just might have seen the candle flicker out on this team and that with that 11-run carnage, you might have witnessed their last stand. An event like this with less than 8 games left in the season could put up massive walls to just "mail in" the rest of the schedule.
And this is the type of game that you can not wash from your skin in a short time and again take the field with total confidence. This one lingers for a while and has a deadening effect on everyone in that clubhouse. No where to run and hide, this one smacks you hard and deep and leave more than a few welts on your mind and heart.
But still for that hour you watched in horror, but did not look away. You found yourself glued to the watch the entire event like you do when the local new reports a disaster or flood in the Third World country. But this time the pit of your stomach aches and you personally feel the emotions and the gloom you encountered as the events unfolded.
This time you felt like you might have been collateral damage from the game. That this one also stole a bit of you last night.

Oh Cliff – as a Red Sox fan for as long as I have been? I know only too well the feelings that you are talking about. We fans stay to the bitter end of the season – it's what we do, no matter how painful it is. I'm sorry – I know that so much more was expected from your guys this season. And it sounds so tired to say – but I am a firm believer in "there's always next year". Good luck to your guys.
It just a big old at times that when this team really needs to step it up, or might have to actually sweat a bit they have stumbled, tumbled or bumbled their way to a loss.
And when one of your better pitchers get his heart handed to him on a silver platter, it is almost too much to bear at times.
But, yeah, that old saying just keeps ringing in my ears too, but I kind of become deaf to it because even if it is true, I live for today…tomorrow is too darn far away for me.
Rays Renegade
The good thing is there is a ton of talent here. They have good management. It just wasn't their year. No Worry. Reload, regroup.. Go for it next year. They know they can… they've already done it! And.. that, my friend is huge. The Orioles can't say that (at least for the last decade or so) nor can the Jays. These kids can. They just need to start again.
Some friends have told me to take solice in the fact that the upper echelon of the division had to spend millions before the season, and added to their payroll in the middle of the season to just contend against this squad.
I see that as a half truth in reality.
They did have to add massive amount of talent and dollars to their bottom line to stay with the team, but the team also took a stepbackwards and made it a bit easier for the front runners.
But I do agree on the talent statement, we have a second wave that could be here in the next year or two………and they might be better than this recent wave of pitching and outfield talent.
Rays Renegade
I was hoping for a Twins-Rays ALDS this year, but unfortunately it looks like it isn't meant to be (maybe for both of us). And that's precisely how I felt when the Twins blew a 10-run lead against Oakland. The A's were one of the worst offensive teams in the league at the time, and in one inning they erased what should have been an insurmountable deficit. Making matters worse, the whole thing ended on a blown call at the plate. It was one of the worst losses in recent memory, and might end up costing the Twins the season.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.blogspot.com
This exactly the scenario that keeps me up at night. Seriously. This is why the Cardinals have to keep Tony LaRussa and this is why the young Rays stars need to start shining to their full potential.
Sometimes blow-outs can define a team by how the rebound in their next game.
The Twins still have a shot to finish out their run at the Metrodome with a playoff game.
It might be a hard road, but it is still within their grasp.
The Rays just have to play with pride and ability in the next 7 games and put a stamp of confidence on the end of the season.
Rays Renegade
Going into this week of games, the Cards might just rest a few guys on odd nights to gain some advantage going into the playoffs.
The NL is more of a multi-gun shootout than the AL right now, but it is the series I am planning on watching closely this postseason.
Whoever comes out of the NL will be the odds on favorite to maybe steal this thing from the Yankee/Red Sox bias presetned by ESPN and the other talking heads.

6.30am start 'poor customer experience'.
Contractors proved too keen to start work on a $9 million upgrade of Mt Albert's run-down railway station for the comfort of neighbours woken rudely on Saturday morning.
"It is an extremely poor customer experience to be woken by extremely noisy demolition works at 6.30am on a Saturday morning," apartment resident Nicola Bond wrote in an email to Auckland Mayor Len Brown's office.
Although appreciating that the upgrade needed to occur while trains were not running, she said the station was in front of a block of 40 townhouses called Willcott Mews, many of them home to young children.
"Works such as concrete cutting should wait until 8am or 9am in the morning on the weekend," she told the mayor's staff.
Ms Bond, a resident of Willcott Mews next to a walkway to the railway station, said she was also angry at not being contacted by the works project team and having the entrance to the townhouses blocked by contractors' trucks.
Auckland Transport spokeswoman Sharon Hunter, whose organisation received subsidy approval only last month from the Government's Transport Agency for the $8.8 million upgrade, said last night the contractors would be told not to block driveways.
The project, due to be completed by the end of summer, will include upgrading the station's platform with canopies and replacing its main foot-bridge entrance from Carrington Rd with a new structure including a lift and stairs.
It is understood the structure has been future-proofed to connect with a potential new pedestrian plaza over the railway tracks to join New North Rd as part of a wider urban renewal project.
But an underpass further to the west from New North Rd will be upgraded later in the project, after serving as the station's temporary main entrance until the footbridge from Carrington Rd is replaced.
Albert-Eden Local Board chairman Peter Haynes said he understood the "third world" station was the last of the 40 or so on Auckland's railway network to be upgraded, and the project could not come soon enough.
He was disappointed only that it was not more ambitious.

June 29, 2012—WASHINGTON—The Koshland Science Museum launched its first web challenge—the first of a series encouraging people to use science to solve problems and investigate possible solutions for their communities.
The first challenge, "Happiness Is," asks people to create a short video describing the happiest moment of their life to highlight health and happiness at every age. The video challenge is part of the museum's Life Lab exhibit about the science of healthy living and how the brain works. Video submissions are due July 18 and can be uploaded to YouTube. The museum will feature all relevant videos in the Life Lab exhibit and online. The best video will be announced July 23 and highlighted on the museum's website.
"The web challenges are a wonderful way for people to participate in an interactive, online forum," said Erika Shugart, Ph.D., deputy director of the Koshland Science Museum and developer of the challenges.

Bauer has just announced the Vapor X60 Limited Edition will be coming out next month…and it looks dope. They have taken the look of the non-grip version of the X60 stick darkened it a little and added some smoke like blue graphics giving the stick a great look.
The Bauer X:60 LE stick will have the same construction and materials as the standard X60 stick, only difference being graphics and instead of a stick'um coating or traditional gloss smooth coating, Bauer has used a smooth matte finish. Great choice in my opinion.
Check out the site for more info about the stick and its availability.

The band is one of the best cover bands to be heard, performing award-winning, socially conscious original music. But what makes the band unique is the amount of roadwork it does, playing to ticketed crowds of up to 65,000 in over 100 countries to date, even becoming the first U.S. band signed to a Chinese label. All that jet lag has earned band members a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records, officially being dubbed the "World's Most Traveled Band."
Led by guitarist Scott Stephans, the group was formed in 1996. It's a flexible lineup of seven, with an "A Team," a "B Team" dubbed Aqua Blue and a stripped-down version of the group called Acoustic Blue. With an incredible repertoire of more than 650 cover songs, the ability to sing in several languages and a slew of worthy originals, it's easy to see why the band rarely has a day off.
Band members purchased Ocean Beach's legendary Hippie House in 2013, installing a state-of-the-art recording studio in the process. Perennially on the road, the next 60 days will find the group performing in China, Japan and Korea, as well as dates throughout the U.S.
Local fans can catch the group on July 18 at 6:30 p.m., when it performs as part of the annual free Point Loma Concert Series at Point Loma Park. Meanwhile, Acoustic Blue will perform at Wonderland OB on May 7 at 6:30 p.m.
Surprisingly, according to Stephans, the logistics involved in travel these days aren't as rough as might be expected.
"In our early days, we played some tours where the band was required to take their own speakers," he said. "It was brutal. Today, almost everything is taken care of, from hotels and transportation to having a backline. We just fly in, All we have to do is bring our guitars and maybe a rack of pedals. It's much easier than having to haul things around."
While there are language barriers in some places the band has played, he said some music is universal. "Different areas do have slightly different tastes in music," Stephans said. "Canada and Australia, for example, like things that are a little more rock. But something like a Michael Jackson hit would be known pretty much anywhere you played."
He said the computer age has added a new wrinkle to music.
"Everything gets everywhere at the same time now, goes viral or whatever," said Stephans. "So it doesn't matter where you go, the bigger modern hits are known. I figure something like the latest Pharrell track, for example, falls into that category."
While Liquid Blue is known for its wide range of cover tunes, it has also achieved acclaim for its originals. The band has two albums to its credit: "Supernova" (2004) and "Earth Passport" (2010), the latter yielding a No. 3 Billboard dance chart hit.
With everything from 50 Cent to Rhianna and Frank Sinatra to ZZ Top on that list, it's an undertaking that has already been under way for two years.
Fast approaching the 20th anniversary of the band, Stephans said he is happy with what the band has accomplished.
"I've never been driven for monetary reasons," he said. "It's a cliché, but I actually believe that if you do something you believe in, something you like, things will follow. It's that combination of the joy of doing something and trying to make a difference that makes being a musician special."
While the band has certainly been a success from the financial and business end, Stephans insists that wasn't the whole idea.
"The goal was travel and to put out socially conscious music," Stephans said. "In retrospect, we achieved some of that. We certainly did a lot of travel."
"If you can travel by playing music, I think it's great," he said. "Being a musician is one of the few vocations that you can do that with," he said.
• LIQUID BLUE performs at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, July 18 at the Point Loma Summer Concert Series, POINT LOMA PARK at Catalina Boulevard and Varona Street. All ages. Free. www.plconcerts.org.

Anyway, I find a recipe that said it made flaky biscuits, so I tried it this morning and it worked! Here is the recipe: http://blog.kitchenmage.com/2008/01/simple-flaky-bi.html
Now I can be a real farm mom and wife. One can't be a real farm women if they can't make good biscuits. I'm excited. I've mastered a whole wheat sandwich bread we all like and now biscuits. Look out world.

Good for you. :)
But ya know, if you really want to call yourself a real farm mom, you've got to have a super size big old farm table....so that you can invite all your friends to enjoy those yummy recipes you're making (hint-hint)

Congrats on the biscuts! I love me some biscuts, only I like the southern, cracker barrell kind;)
Happy eating!

My grandma's biscuits were always really heavy and dense. Having grown up on the biscuit tin biscuits from the grocery, I never really appreciated her bicuits. I think it is a "southern" thing.
I found a recipe for a "cream biscuit." It uses butter instead of shortening and cream instead of water or milk. They're actually pretty good - very buttery and flaky. And I often use the same recipe for pie crust and dumplings :).
Congrats on finding your perfect mix! ;).
- October 13, 2008 at 6:06 AM
Loved this post, chirsty! So, will you be changing the name of your blog from "Farm Dreams" to "Farm Realities" ? ;)

In my family, I can no longer use grocery store biscuits or pie crust. I've mastered them both and the others are considered 'fake'. Congrats on finding a great recipe and making it work for you!

Lisa - You're right! I don't have a super size table. I'll have to get on that, I want to make sure there is room for all of you.
Wendy - that is very similar to the recipe I used. It used butter and milk.
I was thinking of changing the name after we finally move. You stole my thunder LOL.

The dense biscuits must be a southern thing because that's how I like them.
Of course, if you want to make them the yummiest, you need to grease the pan with bacon grease. Then you drag the top of the buiscuit through the grease before putting it in the pan. That way you have both the top and bottom seasoned with bacon grease.
Oh, and you MUST have a coffee can of bacon grease sitting on your stove to qualify.
(If you don't have the can of bacon grease, what to do you cook your biscuits in? What do you cook your eggs in? What do you dribble on salad? What do you use to tempt the old dog into eating her supper? LOL!)

I do have a jar of bacon grease, but I keep it in my fridge. I haven't come up with quite as many uses for it as you have. But it is the key to good cornbread.

Ahhh! Can't have that! Quick! Delete my comment and no one will be the wiser! :)
- October 13, 2008 at 4:00 PM
Good for you! I suppose I have to learn to make a loaf of bread now. So I can keep up with you.lol..

I can't wait to try the biscuits! Can you post the whole wheat sandwich bread recipe? Hm - is there a link to your t & t recipes? might be a nice addition to your blog? :) Your new farm/home looks amazing! So inspiring to see that you're making your dreams materialize!

There will definitely be a gap in time. I haven't decided if we'll start with them in jail and getting out or if we'll begin with them already out of jail, but we're not going to spend half a season or a season in jail. Sons is not going to become Oz.

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
January 2012
Predicting Arctic Sea Ice Loss
Scientists put climate model through paces, find shortcomings
Polar clouds and sunset colors over the Arctic sea ice. Clouds in the Arctic have a large influence on the sea ice amount by affecting the balance of sunlight energy. Photo courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey/photo by Jessica K. Robertson. Enlarge Image
Results: Arctic clouds are strongly tied to Arctic sea ice loss. To find the strength of those ties, a team led by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory tested a prominent climate model with observed data and found that it significantly underestimates liquid water content in specific Arctic clouds, which affects how much solar energy transfers to the sea ice. They point out the areas of bias and recommend specific improvements to reduce those shortcomings. Their study is published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.
Why It Matters: Stand under a cover of dense clouds on a sunlit day. Feeling cooler? Clouds over the Earth's poles get in the way of sunlight and the energy it carries to the surface. As a result, they can strongly affect Arctic climate change. In 2007, the reduction of clouds contributed to the unprecedented summer sea ice loss by increasing what scientists call the ice-albedo feedbacks. Even though sea ice is highly reflective, with enough solar energy it will melt. As more ice melts, there is less reflectivity and more heat absorbed in the surrounding ocean or land, and thus, more melting. This describes the feedback loop. To correctly predict future Arctic sea ice change, climate models must have a realistic simulation of Arctic cloud cover as well as cloud liquid water amount.
Methods: Led by Dr. Xiaohong Liu, an atmospheric scientist at PNNL, researchers tested the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5), through two model frameworks. Both the Cloud-Associated Parameterizations Testbed (CAPT) and the Single-Column Modeling (SCM) testbed were used. CAPT and SCM are proven useful ways to understand climate model errors. The model results were compared and validated with the observational data obtained during the Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC) campaign conducted in April 2008 and the Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment (M-PACE) campaign conducted in October 2004 near the ARM North Slope of Alaska site.
Computational models that simulate the climate such as CAM5, which is the atmosphere component of the Community Earth System Model used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th Assessment, are used to predict future climate changes, such as the Arctic sea ice loss.
This study identifies areas for model improvements of cloud microphysics and aerosol parameterizations, to reduce the bias in CAM5.
What's Next? Based on the findings from this study, the scientists will improve the cloud microphysics and aerosol representations in CAM5, in collaboration with scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The impacts of these improvements on global climate will be assessed. These new improvements will likely be in the future community releases of CAM5.

Rodarte Runway 2012 Fall
Rodarte Fall 2012
Rodarte Fall 2012
>> With a front row that boasted some of the best fashion week sightings yet, the Fall 2012 Rodarte show was off to a pretty stellar start right out the gate. After all, its not every day that one sees George Lucas at a fashion show. Not to mention Natalie Portman. In fact, this front row was so heavy with star power that it prompted some to wonder, "Is the Rodarte show the new Oscars pre-show?"
</ br>
Well, not quite — but it was far and away the Mulleavys' most controlled and accessible offering to date. The sisters found inspiration in Australia, culling influences from that country's colonial era, the Outback — and nearly everything else in between. The result was imaginative, transporting — and utterly wearable. There were super-structured coats; cropped cable-knit sweaters; slouchy dungarees; and a boatload of very appealing frocks. Fabrics ran the gamut from leather to chiffon, and some stunning Aboriginal-inspired prints were used throughout.

And — in case you were wondering — there were also plenty of dreamy gowns just right for the A-listers up front.

Art Spectrum Artists' Soft Pastels are professional-quality soft pastels that provide the artist with colors that are pure, brilliant and intense - and remain that way. The very best pigments are selected and triple-milled at maximum concentration.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
organic, monoazo
This Hansa yellow is a transparent yellow. It has great brightness and tinting strength and its drying time ranges from average to slow.
Hansa Yellow makes more intense tints and cleaner secondaries than Cadmium Yellows, especially when mixed with other organic or modern colors like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because they are more transparent, they have great value as glazing colors.
This Hansa Yellow has fair to good permanence, particularly in the lighter shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
Arylamide Yellow, Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.
polychlorinated copper(II) phthalocyanine
C32H3Cl13CuN8 to C32HCl15CuN8 or C32H16CuN8Cl15 (PG7) or C32Br6Cl10CuN8 (PG36)
Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.
Bocour Green, Cyan Green, Intense Green, Monastral Green, Phthalocyanine Green, Rembrandt Green, Thalo Green, Winsor Green.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
chromium(III)-oxide dehydrate
Cr2O3 • 2 H2O or Cr2(OH3)
Viridian is the standard green and is stable, powerful, and cold with an emerald green undertone. It has a transparent hue, good tinting strength, a dark masstone that can be almost black at full strength, and a slow drying time in oil form. Viridian is commonly replaced by the darker, more saturated, and staining Phthalo Greens, but its properties make it a necessary part of the palette of an experienced landscape painter.
Viridian has excellent permanence, except in high-temperature work, and is highly valued as a glazing color.
Viridian is slightly toxic.
Viridian's name comes from the Latin viridis, meaning green. The process for manufacturing Viridian, or Transparent Oxide of Chromium, was patented by Guignet in Paris in 1859. However, it had actually been discovered by Pannetier and Binet in 1838. Viridian replaced Verdigris, which was reactive and unstable, and Emerald Green, which was a poisonous copper aceto-arsenite used as a rat poison in the sewers of Paris.
Emerald Chromium Oxide, Emeraude Green, French Veronese Green, Guignet's Green, Pannetier's Green, Permanent Green, Smaragd Green, Transparent Oxide of Chromium, Vert Emeraude. Casali's Green and Mittler's Green are varieties of Viridian. Viridian has historically been sold under the name Emerald Green, but they are currently considered to be and are marketed as two different pigments.

It is an interesting read, but I find myself wondering just how successful these games really are. There are two issues I see: the rules often emphasize the wrong aspects, and thus can be subverted; and the fact that games are often isomorphic to other games.
For the first issue, about emphasizing the wrong aspect, consider the description of the initial slavery games:
Brathwaite assembled a collection of tiny wooden figures, then had her daughter group them into "families." After her daughter was finished, she picked them up by the handful and placed them on a makeshift boat. Her daughter was confused: Why would she take the parents but leave the baby? Why wouldn't brothers stay with their sisters? "No one wants to go," Brathwaite explained. That's when it started to click.
Then Brathwaite devised a primitive resource management mechanic. It took 10 turns for the boat to cross the Atlantic. The boat had 30 units of food. Each turn, the player had to roll a d6, and reduce their food stores by that number. By the trip's halfway point, it was clear to her daughter that her "cargo" wouldn't make it. It wasn't a "fun" game by any means, but it served a different purpose: It helped her daughter intuitively understand the emotional experience of the slave trade, a lesson that numbers on a chalkboard couldn't provide.
In the first example, what if the player made a conscious attempt to keep families together? Doing that defeats the moral lesson that you are trying to teach. Or in the second, suppose the player figured out the right balance between slaves and food stores such that she could keep the "cargo" alive till the end of the journey? Is that winning? Or would it teach that slavery is okay if you take proper care of the slaves?
If you change the rules of the game such that it is impossible to survive the trip, does that show that slavery is evil, or does it really show that you rigged the game to ensure the "right" outcome?
The rules of a game can simulate many things. However, I'm not sure they can get across fundamental moral points like the idea that it is wrong for one human to own another.
The second concern is that game rules can be thought of as just problems that can be solved. Such problems are often isomorphic to different problems. That means the underlying rules, constraints, and solutions are the same, but the context is what determines the morality.
For example, consider the game Train described in the article:
The object of Train is to get a collection of people from Point A to Point B by placing them in a boxcar and sending them on their merry way. Played among a group of three people, players draw cards from a pile that can impede other players or free them from existing obstacles. The first player to reach the end of the line wins.
The destination? Auschwitz.
Now, the article doesn't really expand on this, but the underlying problem is a logistics problem like the ones faced by airline, trucking and other transportation companies every day. The shock comes from the context: that the people being transported are Jews and the destination is a death camp. The context is very important, but I don't see what the *game* part actually adds.
Or let's look at the second slavery example again:
Then Brathwaite devised a primitive resource management mechanic. It took 10 turns for the boat to cross the Atlantic. The boat had 30 units of food. Each turn, the player had to roll a d6, and reduce their food stores by that number. By the trip's halfway point, it was clear to her daughter that her "cargo" wouldn't make it.
Let's change the context. Instead of slaves, let's say the boat contains refugees fleeing a city that is being destroyed. As they cross the ocean, they realize that they don't have enough food for everyone to survive. Now the lesson the game teaches is about hard choices, and maybe even about the nobility of sacrifice. It's diametrically opposite from the evil of slavery, but the underlying game mechanics are identical in both cases.
The context, or the "fluff", determines morality, not the game rules. But if you're using a game to teach the moral concept, and someone sees through the game to the underlying isomorphism, that weakens the lesson. It makes it easier to declare the two situations equal, to justify actions taken.
Games are problems where you need to find a solution while being bound by rules and constraints. These rules and constraints are the most important parts, more important than the context that surrounds them. As such, games are a poor medium for conveying lessons about morality and social problems. Rather than focusing on the moral issue, the game becomes about trying to achieve an acceptable outcome by outwitting the rules.

William Van Poyck, Fla. man, executed for murdering prison guard during 1987 escape attempt
(CBS/AP) STARKE, Fla. -- A Florida man was executed Wednesday night for the murder of a guard during a botched 1987 prison van ambush intended to free an imprisoned friend.
William Van Poyck, 58, was pronounced dead at 7:24 p.m., 23 minutes after the injection process began at Florida State Prison.
"Set me free," were his final words.
Van Poyck's case garnered international attention because he published three books and maintained a blog while on death row. He even wrote recently about his pending execution.
"He's finally free from those prison walls," Lisa Van Poyck, the inmate's sister, said as she stood among the protesters standing across the street from the building where her brother was executed.
The family of the slain guard, Fred Griffis, has said in interviews that they were frustrated that news stories focused on Van Poyck, the crime and his writings - and not Griffis.
"It's been a very traumatic experience," said Norman Traylor, the victim's cousin.
William Van Poyck and Frank Valdes ambushed a prison van outside a West Palm Beach doctor's office in a failed attempt to free James O'Brien - with whom they'd served time. Griffis was fatally shot after he threw the van's keys into the bushes to foil the escape.
Van Poyck and Valdes were captured following a car chase. Steve Turner, one of the corrections officers ambushed that day, spoke after the execution on Wednesday.
"Justice has prevailed," he said. "They can close the book." In his appeals, Van Poyck argued that Valdes fired the fatal shots and that if the jury had known that, he wouldn't have been sentenced to death. The Florida Supreme Court last week rejected Van Poyck's latest appeal involving Valdes' widow, who says her husband told her he was the gunman.
The justices noted that Van Poyck planned the escape attempt and that he and Valdes carried loaded weapons.
In 1999, Valdes was stomped to death in prison. Seven guards were charged with his death, but none were convicted.
Following Valdes' death, Van Poyck was moved to Sussex State Prison in Virginia for his safety. That's where he wrote a 324-page autobiography, "A Checkered Past: A Memoir," saying his purpose was not to elicit sympathy but "to put a human face on me and convicts in general."
Van Poyck went on to write two novels. He won awards for his writing and kept a blog since 2005 by writing letters to his sister, who posted them online.
"He is deeply remorseful for the ending of Fred Griffis' life," Lisa Van Poyck told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "He is guilty of a crime of trying to break somebody out of a prison transport van - he had no intention of hurting anyone."
In his blog, Van Poyck wrote in recent entries that he has received dozens of letters a day regarding his pending execution.
"I am not unusual in wanting to believe, at the end of my line, that my life counted for something good, that I had some positive influence on someone, that my life made a difference, that I was able to at least partially atone for the many mistakes I made earlier in life," he wrote.
Griffis family members planned a gathering Wednesday for quiet reflection about Fred Griffis' life.
"When he was murdered, it basically ripped a hole in the family's heart that's never really healed," said brother Ronald Griffis.
Ronald Griffis said his brother was always looking out for others. He was released on medical discharge after his first tour in Vietnam, but re-enlisted for two more because he felt he could help. In his final moments, he was determined not to let a killer escape.
Said Ronald Griffis: "I knew that even atthe end, he was still my brother, he was still Freddy, that's who he was. He protected others."

These photos of the dead are purposefully anonymous. In "About Dying" Danish photographer Catherine Ertmann was aiming for the universality of death rather than the stories of these particular dead. And that's what makes this series so moving. In photographing the dead so intimately, bare of everything, including their life stories, she has made room for the viewer in the morgue—as observer and as deceased. Who doesn't project themselves into the sewn torso, the half-clenched hand, the freckled cheek? Will it be the zipped bag or the fiery crematorium in the end? How can we live fully if we can't look at death?
"This project tries to break down the taboo by showing something we rarely have access to, and that death can be both hard to look an but also beautiful. Just like when a new life comes into the world when a woman is giving birth. It deals with the incomprehensible fact that life ends and hopefully remind the audience that our time here is precious and what things really matter while we are here."
This project was approved by Aarhus Universitets Hospital (University Hospital of Aarhus, Denmark), where she and journalist Lise Hornung worked.
The only complete certainty in life is that one day we will die. It is the most certain thing in the world, and the biggest uncertainty we experience of the world, because nobody can say what will happen afterwards. Maybe that is why we find it so difficult to speak about death.

THE UK Independence Party has won its first five seats on Wyre Forest District Council, shifting the area's political spectrum.
Amidst a tense atmosphere inside the Wyre Forest Glades Leisure Centre, councillors and candidates listened as ward-by-ward UKIP took votes and seats from the Conservatives, Labour, the Liberals and ICHC and the authority remained in no overall control.
It means the make-up of the council is now Conservatives: 15 seats (-3 seats), Labour: 9 (+2), Independent Community and Health Concern: 7 (-2), UKIP: 5 (+5), Liberal and Independent: Independent: 3 (-), Liberal and Independent: Liberal: 2 (-1), Independent: 1.
The Tories are still the biggest party in Wyre Forest but are now well short of the 22 seats needed for the overall majority they enjoyed going into the 2011 district elections.
The party is still likely to form the administration as it seems unlikely enough of the opposition parties would be willing to work together to overthrow the ruling group – although all leaders remained tight lipped on which other groups they would or would not sit with.
High profile casualties included cabinet member Conservative Ian Hardiman, who was unseated in Habberley and Blakebrook by Labour's Lynne Hyde. Council vice chairman, Tory Daniel McCann, lost his Franche seat to UKIP's Anthony Clent.
Labour councillor Howard Martin lost his Broadwaters seat to UKIP's Paul Wooldridge and the Liberal's Tim Ingham was unsuccessful as he was moved from his Greenhill seat to fight the Offmore and Comberton seat won by Conservative Rose Bishop.
Labour's other gain saw Rob Lloyd unseat ICHC's Nigel Thomas in Areley Kings. Independent John Aston held on to his Aggborough and Spennells seat, fighting for the first time without Tory backing.
Conservative group leader Marcus Hart said: "I am delighted we are still the largest party. Obviously it is a very mixed picture which does not surprise me."
Fellow Tory John Campion, who held on to his Sutton Park seat, said: "The electorate has spoken, they have clearly been caught up in the national push towards the European issue.
"UKIP come to this with no local manifesto, no ideas or experience as to how to run a district council, they have now got to prove they have got the ideas to take things forward."
UKIP parliamentary spokesman Michael Wrench, who was elected in Oldington and Foley Park at the expense of Tory Nicky Gale, said it was an historic day for his party and he would be "willing to work with anyone that has the best interests of the people of Wyre Forest at heart".
He said: "It is a brilliant result and has been a long time coming. I hope we can change the status quo in the council and come in with a common sense attitude.
"We are the party that is listening, something the others have failed time and time again to do."
ICHC leader Graham Ballinger described the results as "disappointing" for his group, adding Areley Kings, in Mr Thomas and Mitton, in Mike Salter, had "lost two hard working, experienced councillors". Labour's Mr Lloyd and UKIP's John Holden won those two seats respectively.
Mr Ballinger admitted his party had lost some of Wyre Forest's "traditional anti-main party votes" but added: "We will be back. We as a party are strong and we are excited about next year's election with Richard Taylor leading the fight."
Despite gaining two seats, Labour's share of the vote dropped to fourth overall, with just 18 per cent. Councillor Nigel Knowles, however, said his party was in a good position going into next year's general election.
New Areley Kings Labour councillor, Mr Lloyd, said: "It has been a lot of hard work. I will continue to work for my own community which I believe in and do my best for them over the next 12 months."
Mr Aston looked apprehensive during the counting process but ended up holding on to his Aggborough and Spennells seat by a majority of 506 votes.
He said: "It feels great. It shows that I can win without the Conservative's support, we have done it on our own."
The overall turnout across Wyre Forest was a three-year high at 36 per cent.

John Ramsey has objected to Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett submitting any secret grand-jury indictment in his daughter's case to a judge to review and release.
In a letter to Garnett dated Sunday on behalf of Ramsey, his attorneys Harold Haddon and Bryan Morgan objected to the release of any indictment without the release of the entire grand jury record.
"Public release of the allegations of an unprosecuted indictment only serves to further defame (John Ramsey) and his late wife Patricia," the letter reads. "Mr. Ramsey will have no access to whatever evidence the prosecutors presented to the grand jury and will have no ability to disprove those allegations in a court of law. Nor will the public have any ability to evaluate the propriety of the indictment unless the entire grand jury record is unsealed and opened to public view."
Chief Trial Deputy Sean Finn filed a notice to the court with Ramsey's letter on Monday. However, he wrote, "This filing does not alter the position of the office of the District Attorney as stated in its response to order to show cause."
Daily Camera reporter Charlie Brennan and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press filed a lawsuit in September seeking the release of the un-prosecuted indictment of John and Patsy Ramsey on charges relating to their 6-year-old daughter's death.
The Camera reported earlier this year that the Boulder County grand jury investigating the Ramsey case voted in 1999 to indict the slain 6-year-old's parents on charges of child abuse resulting in death, but that then-DA Alex Hunter refused to sign the document and prosecute the Ramseys.
The Camera is not a plaintiff, but supports the current lawsuit.
After hearing oral arguments Oct. 11, retired Weld County Judge Robert Lowenbach ruled Thursday that releasing the document sought by Brennan would not be a breach of grand-jury secrecy rules and ordered Garnett to show cause why it should be kept secret.
In response, Garnett offered to file under seal "any such document in our possession" in the JonBenet Ramsey case to a judge to review and release "as the court deems appropriate."
But John Ramsey's attorneys contend in the letter that Ramsey was not contacted by the DA's office about the release of any grand jury documents and pointed out that he and his late wife were exonerated by former District Attorney Mary Lacy in 2008.
Ramsey's attorneys said that if any indictment is to be released, the entire grand jury record should be released as well.
"The District Court found 'transparency' to be the determinative factor in its order to show cause. 'Transparency can only be accomplished if the entire record is made public,' " the letter reads. "It is therefore John Ramsey's respectful request that you advise the District Court in response to its order to show cause that if the unprosecuted indictment is to be publicly released, the court should also order release of the entire grand jury record, including all witness testimony, all exhibits, all colloquy discussions between prosecutors and the grand jury and all drafts of potential indictments presented by the prosecutors of the grand jury."
Garnett said he filed Ramsey's letter with the court because "My office's position is as a custodian of archival documents, and it is my duty to handle them in a way that's fair and forthwith with the court and doesn't interfere with the possibility we could prosecute this case in the future for a charge in which the statute of limitations has not run."
"We felt it was appropriate to file this with the court," he said.
JonBenet Ramsey was found dead Dec. 26, 1996, in the basement of her family's Boulder home, 755 15th St., several hours after Patsy Ramsey called 911 to say her daughter was missing and that a ransom note had been left behind.
In October 1999, more than a year after the case went to a grand jury, then-DA Hunter announced that the grand jury investigation had come to an end and that no charges would be filed due to a lack of evidence.
But in January of this year, the Camera reported that members of the grand jury confirmed they had voted to indict both John and Patsy Ramsey and that Hunter had refused to sign the indictment, believing he could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
The 3-year statute of limitations on the charges in the reported indictment would have expired in 2002.

A small patio or a courtyard is a great spot to put your wall fountain when you need peace and quiet. Moreover, it can be designed to fit into any wall space since it does not take up much room. A spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump are necessary for freestanding as well as mounted varieties. There are any variety of models to choose from most notably traditional, contemporary, classic, or Asian.
Normally quite big, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the floor.
On the other read this article hand, a water feature attached to a wall can be integrated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. Integrating this kind of water feature into your landscape adds a cohesiveness to the look you want to achieve rather than making it seem as if the fountain was merely added later.
