Trea Turner hit two homers, including a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth, and drove in a career-high eight runs as the Washington Nationals rebounded from a nine-run, fourth-inning deficit to stun the visiting Miami Marlins 14-12 Thursday.
It was the biggest comeback for a victory in Nationals history.
Turner hit his first homer of the night, a solo shot, in the fourth before driving in a run on a forceout in the fifth. Washington added five more runs and took a 10-9 lead in the sixth on Turner's first career grand slam, and then pushed the advantage to 14-9 in a four-run seventh.
Shawn Kelley (1-0) got the win after throwing a scoreless sixth. Miami sliced the deficit to 14-12 when Brian Anderson hit a three-run, eighth-inning homer off Kelvin Herrera, but Washington's Sean Doolittle pitched a scoreless ninth for his 22nd save.
Astros 4, White Sox 3
Yuli Gurriel slapped a bases-loaded, walk-off single to right-center field, and host Houston rallied for a victory over Chicago.
With the White Sox ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, George Springer blooped a single to center off Joakim Soria (0-3), scoring Tony Kemp and pulling the Astros even.
Kemp had opened the ninth with a pinch-hit walk and advanced to third base when Marwin Gonzalez, also pinch-hitting, added a flare single to right field. Following Springer's hit, Alex Bregman walked and Jose Altuve struck out before Gurriel plated Gonzalez with his hit.
Rangers 7, Tigers 5
Joey Gallo and Ronald Guzman hit two-run homers to begin and end a flurry of seven unanswered runs, and Texas hung on to win at Detroit.
Gallo hit a two-run shot in the second inning and the Rangers eventually extended their lead to 7-0 in the fourth before the Tigers began mounting their comeback.
After Detroit trimmed the deficit to two runs in the bottom of the ninth, Texas' Keone Kela induced pinch hitter Jeimer Candelario to hit into a fielder's choice, struck out Nick Castellanos and retired Niko Goodrum on a comebacker to earn his 21st save in as many opportunities.
Brewers 7, Braves 2
Jhoulys Chacin threw seven strong innings and helped host Milwaukee beat Atlanta in the opener of a four-game series.
Chacin, a former Brave, allowed two runs in the first inning but settled down and did not permit another run. The outing matched his longest of the season, and he allowed three hits and one walk. Chacin (7-3) equaled his season high with seven strikeouts while recording his first win since June 13.
The Brewers' offense was led by Hernan Perez, who had three of the team's seven hits, including a triple and his fifth homer of the season. He scored twice and drove in two runs.
Twins 5, Orioles 2
Jake Cave had two doubles and three hits, Logan Morrison homered and Aaron Slegers picked up his first major league win as Minnesota beat Baltimore in Minneapolis.
Slegers (1-0), making his fourth career major league start and first this season, allowed just three hits and one run — a long fifth-inning home run by Jonathan Schoop — over six innings. He struck out two and walked one.
Schoop hit a pair of solo home runs and Manny Machado and Adam Jones each doubled for Baltimore, which lost its third consecutive game and fell for the 10th time in 11 games.
Cardinals 11, Giants 2
St. Louis gave Johnny Cueto a rude greeting in his return from the disabled list, bombing the veteran for four first-inning runs en route to a blowout win at San Francisco.
Luke Weaver (5-7) pitched eight innings of two-run, two-hit ball, helping the Cardinals record a fifth win in their past six road games.
Cueto (3-1), who sprained his right elbow in April after starting the season 2-0, was pitching in the majors for the first time in more than two months. He gave up five runs on 10 hits in five innings.
Mariners 4, Angels 1
Marco Gonzales earned his team-leading ninth victory of the season as Seattle defeated visiting Los Angeles.
Gonzales (9-5) went six innings and allowed one run on five hits. He walked two and struck out seven.
The Mariners' Edwin Diaz struck out the side in the ninth for his major-league-leading 34th save of the season. Chris Herrmann homered for Seattle, and Guillermo Heredia had two doubles and an RBI.
Padres 6, Diamondbacks 3
Carlos Asuaje and Wil Myers combined for four hits, three runs and three RBIs as San Diego broke a three-game losing streak with a victory over Arizona in Phoenix.
San Diego rookie Eric Lauer (4-5) gave up seven hits and one run in five-plus innings. The Padres reached six runs for only the second time in 12 games while winning for the fourth time in 17 games.
Ketel Marte had a double and a two-run homer, and A.J. Pollock, Jon Jay and Nick Ahmed had two hits apiece for the Diamondbacks, who have lost six of seven after winning seven of eight.

This analysis is determined by the joint; however the motion is only associated with the three body planes which includes;Motion which involves forward and backward movements is known as Sagittal plane. This plane goes via the center of the body, and as a result the motion is either front to back or back to front, and even the straight forward running.

The most important thing to recall is the rotation. To demonstrate clear understanding of transverse plane, we can imagine the overhead diagonals with a medicine ball, where transverse activity is swinging a golf club.

Evaluation Resource Guide for Responsible Fatherhood Programs (PDF - 534 KB)
Author: James Bell Associates for the Office of Family Assistance
This guide was developed in direct response to the emerging evaluation needs unique to the OFA's Responsible Fatherhood programming and its goals. The purpose is to help fill the need for resources and models to aid in the planning and evaluation of the Responsible Fatherhood projects. Background information for this resource guide was gathered directly from OFA grantees at conference sessions, other meetings, and visits to the grantee sites. To develop the evaluation topics for the guide, OFA drew from similar handbooks. The authors also utilized various existing evaluation resources such as the series of Evaluation Briefs sponsored by OFA and developed by its contractors. The authors have specifically focused on topics related to Responsible Fatherhood program grantees and this information should not be considered an adequate guide to evaluating non-OFA sponsored fatherhood programming efforts.

Building Evaluation Capacity in Community-Based Organizations: Reflections of an Empowerment Evaluation Team
Source: University of South Carolina. Published: Journal of Community Practice
This article presents the challenges and successes of a university-based empowerment evaluation team as they promoted community-based organizational (CBO) self-evaluation skills through a large community capacity building effort funded by a community foundation. Using a reflective inquiry approach, the team's approach to empowerment evaluation is discussed, and the how's, the why's, and the outcomes of the team's efforts are presented. Lessons learned emphasize the significance of training, role clarity, management of power relations, participant readiness, adequate resources, technology, coaching skill, and mutual support through a coaching network and interagency networks. Perhaps most significantly, clear and consistent communication between grantee and grantmaker, mediated by evaluation coaches, promoted evaluations that address internal and external stakeholder needs. The ideology of empowerment guided this project, and participatory research did prevail, but grantee self-direction was harder to enable. Likewise, consumer participation was woefully limited.

Article Title
Status of Nesting Ospreys in Coastal Baja California, Sonora and Sinaloa, Mexico, 1977 and 1992-1993.
First Page
Last Page
We used a double-sampling technique (air + ground surveys), with partial double coverage and an additional adjustment for lack of nesting synchrony in southern latitudes, to estimate the size of the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) nesting population in the study area in 1992-1993. The osprey population was previously surveyed in 1977 by the same authors, although their published findings were not adjusted for early or late nests missed. An estimated 810 ± 55 (95% C.I.) pairs were nesting at the time of the aerial survey in 1977, but the population increased 68% to an estimated 1,362 ± 278 pairs at the time of the aerial survey in 1992- 1993 (Baja California surveyed in 1992, Sonora and Sinaloa in 1993). The new adjustment for nesting chronology to estimate the total nesting population (in- cluding early and late nests missed) adds 19% to the time of the aerial survey population estimates for both 1977 and 1992-1993. The surveyed area was di- vided into seven regions for summary purposes in 1977; the same as in 1992— 1993. The distribution of nesting pairs was similar during both time periods, except two range expansions to the north, which we attributed to the presence of artificial structures in flat terrain with no suitable cacti. The estimated number of nesting pairs on the Pacific side of Baja California (focused on Scammon's and San Ignacio Lagoons) more than doubled, while the population did not increase on the Gulf of California side of Baja California. Osprey pairs nesting on the Midriff Islands in the Gulf of California increased 64% — those nesting on islands nearer Baja California remained generally the same, and those on islands nearer Sonora showed the most increase. The nesting population in Sonora and Sinaloa also more than doubled with a higher rate of increase in Sinaloa. The use of human-made structures for nest sites is still small (only 6%). This population still nests primarily on cliffs (40%), cacti (37%), and the ground (16%).

Transport for London (TfL) has announced that London's Cycle Hire scheme, which is due to launch next summer, will be free for the first half an hour of use. However users will have to pay a daily, weekly, or annual access fee first before throwing a leg over one of the 6,000 new hire bikes. The access fee is £1 for a day, £5 for a week, or £45 for an annual membership.
According to TfL the charging structure means that:
- A daily user could use a hire bicycle for multiple trips of under 30 minutes in one day for £1;
- A weekly user could use the cycle hire scheme for the equivalent of just 71p a day;
- Annual members will pay as little as 12p a day to have access to a hire bicycle.
After the first free half hour of rental, the London Cycle Hire scheme will cost £1 for a journey of between 30 minutes and one hour, £4 for up to 90 minutes, and £6 for up to two hours. The hire charges then increase incrementally up to a maximum hire period of 24 hours which carrries a £50 charge.
You certainly wouldn't want to be late returning a bike as that carries a £150 excess charge, which also applies if your access charge runs out while you are using one of the hire bikes. Non-members wishing to hire a bike without first paying the access charge will need to agree to a pre-authorisation charge of £150 and if a bike is lost or damaged during the hire period users will face a bill of £300. Ouch!
TfL says their charging structure has been designed to ensure as many people as possible can use the scheme, as very few journeys in Central London take more than 30 minutes.
Example journeys cited from TfL's cycling Journey Planner include:
The Regent's Park to Notting Hill Gate, 25 minutes
London Bridge to Hyde Park, 27 minutes
Tower Hill to Bond Street, 23 minutes
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, was also keen to stress just how far you can get on a bike in half an hour: "Our cycle hire scheme is set to be one of the exciting, affordable and energising ways to get around town. It is amazing how far your bike can take you in 30 minutes if you put in a bit of pedal power; and to be able to do so free of charge on one of our fantastic new bikes is simply sensational value for money."
Details of the charging policy for the new scheme got a generally positive reaction from the CTC's Policy Coordinator Chris Peck although he was critical of TfL's failure to make the scheme compatible with the Oyster Card:
CTC Policy Coordinator Chris Peck said: "This scheme will encourage thousands more people to cycle in London and more cycling generally means lower risks of injury for everyone. There are already over half a million trips by bike every day in London, so the capital's roads should be able to cope with the extra 40,000, but roads in central London do need to be calmer and more pleasant to cycle on.
"I've ridden one of the bikes, they are comfortable, well-designed and look like they will last. It is also good to see the scheme will free for the first half an hour, but the annual membership cost of £45 appears steep when the equivalent in Paris is only 30 Euros.
"We have been assured by TfL that cyclists using the scheme won't be required to wear a helmet, CTC campaigns to allow people to choose whether or not to wear a helmet and believes that a rule on helmets would stop many people using the bikes on the spur of the moment.
CTC cannot understand why TfL has not made the scheme compatible with the Oyster card. We would like to see docking stations at key areas such as railway stations and believe the demand could be catered for if it is carefully managed."
That lack of Oyster card compatibility and the omission of docking stations from major railway stations are, say critics of the scheme, signs that London's Cycle Hire Scheme is primarily for tourists and not for Londoners. We will find out whether they are right next summer.
Plucked from the obscurity of his London commute back in the mid-Nineties to live in Bath and edit bike mags our man made the jump to the interweb back in 2006 as launch editor of a large cycling website somewhat confusingly named after a piece of navigational equipment. He came up with the idea for road.cc mainly to avoid being told what to do… Oh dear, issues there then. Tony tries to ride his bike every day and if he doesn't he gets grumpy, he likes carbon, but owns steel, and wants titanium. When not on his bike or eating cake Tony spends his time looking for new ways to annoy the road.cc team. He's remarkably good at it.

The speakers that came with your PC are likely to do the job of playing Windows error beeps satisfactorily, but what about when you want to fire up some Beethoven, James Blunt or Slayer?
Eclipse's TD307PAII setup isn't your average PC audio solution. At £400 it has been engineered to produce the most sonically accurate reproduction of music as is possible. It comprises a pair of TD307II speakers and a TDA501II amplifier -- each available separately if desired.
A massive amount of engineering has gone into producing these egg-shaped treats, but was it a waste of precious time?
There's no kidding that these are snazzy little devils. They're beautifully designed and ornately finished, with a thick glossy enclosure and the build-quality of the finest war machine. Not only can they be set beside your new MacBook Air or even your whopping great XPS, they can be mounted on a wall or even the ceiling, thanks to the adjustable stand and built-in mounting bracket.
Stylish also is the accompanying amp. Rated at 12W, this pyramid-esque system may look like a trendy electric pencil sharpener from the 80s, but it's actually a very capable amp with extremely low levels of distortion. The power brick is kept away from the electronics so as to assist the sonic accuracy of the sounds it's producing.
This brings us to sound quality. The speakers themselves utilise a single full-range driver, meaning no dedicated woofer and tweeter for lows and highs. This eliminates the need for a crossover, something Eclipse believes introduces an element of distortion into reproduced audio. To avoid the speakers colouring the sound, the driver is unattached to the enclosures. Instead, they're mounted directly on to the speaker stand, with air from behind the driver being released through an exhaust port to the rear.
Each driver is balanced in its output, with good degrees of separation between instruments. Feist's hit '1234' has been wonderfully recorded, and the Eclipses reproduce the studio with warmth and feeling. Turn the lights off, and visualising every musician's position on the stage is simple. The small group of clappers, the subtle tambourine, that unique banjo sound... they're all performing in front of your desk, or may as well be.

TringRugby won an important match against recently relegated CS Rugby 46-32.
Tring took an early lead which they squandered – going nine points down at one stage – but they fought back in the second half with some cleverly worked tries.
Getting the four-try bonus point and denying the opposition a losing bonus point could be crucial at the end of the season.
Elsewhere, the second XI beat Bishop's Stortford III 57-0 and the thirds beat Bishop's Stortford IV 37-5.

I am Lord Buckethead, intergalactic space lord and independent parliamentary candidate. Welcome to my domain (both in a figurative and technological sense).
I am a space lord, and I stood to be the independent Member of Parliament for Maidenhead at the 2017 UK General Election. I secured 249 votes, which I am proud to say is a new Buckethead record. I enjoy planet-conquering, dominating inferior species, and Lovejoy. My manifesto (below) is an ambitious and progressive programme not only for the good Earthlings of a certain Berkshire conurbation but for the entirety of your nation. It is a suite of policies that have been fully costed and which marries fiscal responsibility with an interest in lasers.
I call upon the fatally weakened Prime Minister Theresa May and that funny Islington chap with the beard to debate me in public. Failure to do so will be treated as cowardice and a tacit endorsement of my superiority.

As a great-grandson of Seattle's founders, Brewster C. Denny was always proud but never pretentious, working hard to better his city by helping rewrite its charter and establishing and directing the University of Washington's graduate school of public affairs.
His life took him all over the world, first as a Navy man during World War II, then as an intelligence analyst during the Korean War, then as a diplomat and adviser for a variety of government agencies.
But there was no greater thrill for him than ringing UW's Denny Bell at homecoming — a tradition he took part in for 51 consecutive years.
Mr. Denny died of natural causes at his Seattle home on Saturday (June 22). He was 88.

Born in Seattle in 1924, Mr. Denny graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1942 and the UW in 1945 before being sent to Pearl Harbor to prepare for a planned invasion of Japan.
The end of World War II saved his crew from that dangerous mission.
Mr. Denny then obtained a master's at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, and taught history at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It was in Boston that Mr. Denny met the woman who would become his wife of 63 years, Patricia Virginia Sollitt, of Elkhart, Ind.
"My roommate and her fiancé thought that Brewster was just the right person for another of our roommates, so they invited him over," Patricia Denny said Monday. "But the next day, he called me."
The couple married months later, in June 1950.
They moved to Washington, D.C., where Mr. Denny was an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Department of Defense and a staff member on the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on National Policy Machinery.
Mr. Denny served in several other public roles, including as U.S. representative to the General Assembly of the United Nations, national-security adviser during the transition between Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, and representative of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
He moved with his wife to Seattle in 1961 and soon founded the graduate school of public affairs. Mr. Denny served as the school's dean until 1980 and continued to teach American foreign policy there until 2004.
Former Gov. Dan Evans, for whom the school is now named, described Mr. Denny as an intelligent man who "bled purple," forever inspired by his great grandparents, Arthur and Mary Denny, who founded Seattle in 1851 and helped establish the UW a decade later.
"He was very proud of that heritage," said Evans, who was a high-school classmate of Mr. Denny's. "It caused him to be an activist and an active participant in making the city better."
In addition to his work at the UW, Mr. Denny played major roles in the Century Foundation, a think tank; the Children's Alliance, an advocacy organization; and the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice described him as a "giant" in a foreword for a 2010 book about Mr. Denny's speeches, books, articles and personal papers.
But despite his heritage and duties, Mr. Denny's only child said that family always came first.
"He had the ear of many important people, but I always came first, and I always knew that," said Maria Denny, 50. "He just loved me absolutely unconditionally."
Outside of work and spending time with his family, Mr. Denny enjoyed boating, reading about current affairs and playing the piano.
And, of course, he loved ringing the Denny Bell, which was installed in the UW's first building on Denny Knoll.
"He lived a very full life," said Jim Compton, a former City Council member, journalist and 25-year friend.
In addition to his wife and daughter, Mr. Denny is survived by son-in-law Jim Kodjababian and grandchildren Ella and Jacob.
A memorial service is scheduled for 3 p.m. July 9 at Seattle's Epiphany Church.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Brewster C. Denny Fellowship at the Evans School of Public Affairs, or to the Children's Alliance.

George Miller's latest Antarctic dance fest is a pale shadow of its exuberant predecessor. While 'Happy Feet' bulged with toe-tapping songs and a clever switch into darker 'Truman Show' territory, this 3D sequel suffers from a lack of continuity, over-egged, gospel-flavoured covers of trashy soul and a set of urban dance moves as clichéd as anything on 'The X Factor'.
The first film centred on the feats of little Mumble, a forlorn emperor penguin who couldn't sing but jived like Gene Kelly. At first it looks like the sequel might focus entirely on Mumble's withdrawn son Erik, but the narrative thread soon frays into a series of subplots involving a pair of wilful krill, a puffin masquerading as a flying penguin and a padded-out quest to save Mumble and Erik's trapped colony from an encroaching ice shelf. If there's a saving grace, it's the visuals, especially the beautiful scenes of orange krill. But that's about all.

And we wonder why we have lost the respect of the rest of the world? This video is like watching politics without makeup, and your only response is WTF!

What One Must Know Before Getting Into NBA 2K18
Post: #1
What One Must Know Before Getting Into NBA 2K18
NBA 2K18 has been universally loved by young and old for many years. This article was put together to help to fine tune your 2K18 MT skills.
Always dribble with your head up when dribbling instead of focusing on the ball.You should never be looking at the NBA 2K18 while you're dribbling. Take the NBA 2K18 around off-court wherever you go. Dribble the ball as you go about your day doing errands like walking the shops. If you look at the ball, you can't see the court.
This is the hip area, hips, and the abs. A strong core provides a center of force with their legs to be applied to faster running and jumping during games.
Hand signals can help stop you to stay away from making bad passes. Hand signals can help you if your teammate is ready.
Never try to push through an injury when playing NBA 2K18. NBA 2K18 is very physical sport and there's always a risk of injury.You can quickly turn a strain into a debilitating medical issue if you continue to play with an injury. See a physician if the injury is serious enough.
The NBA 2K MT key to ball well is to spread your fingers out.That will ensure that it doesn't get away from you don't lose the ball when you hold it. Don't allow yourself to have your palm touch the ball either.

Perfume Doubles As Insect Repellant
There is nothing worse than a sneaky, pesky, little mosquito pest sucking off of your succulent scent during the warmer weather days, only to leave you with a bump of itchiness and irritation, (can you tell I hate bugs). Gosh darn it!
Perfume and fragrance lovers, do not fear, for the fragrance God's (or really Jao brand) has created a perfume that doubles as insect repellant!
Photo Courtesy: Jao
Outscent by Jao is a scent made up of essential oils for people who want to repel bugs but don't want to smell bad. The scent? The fragrance that naturally repels insects is a blend of grapefruit, fir needle, patchouli, and other wood oils. It's a unisex fragrance that can be described as "citrusy, woodsy, earthy, complex, and pure".
Would you dare to wear a perfume that doubles as insect repellant?
Chill Out With These Cool Scents
Doesn't each summer seemingly get hotter and hotter every year? What better way to chill out than with cool scents, like Cool Water by Davidoff or Carlo Cool by Carlo Corinto? Carlo Cool is a citrus, fresh spicy, earthy scent with woody notes, a scent only the summer heat can handle. Cool Water by Davidoff is a popular fave, and with good reasoning! It comes in a men and women's scent and both feature a fresh, outdoorsy scent to keep you cool! A classic, to say the least!
While we can't think of a better way than enjoying other scents by Davidoff, like Cool Water Wave or loving the scent of Cool Water Summer Fizz, we are always in the mood for an icy cool and refreshing scent...oh yeah, and who can't pass up an iced coffee?
What cool scent is your summer must have during the heated, hot summer days?
Perfumes You Can Sip As Well as Sniff
You've done it before and you'll probably do it again, but tasting perfume is never a good thing...until now?
If you thought perfume was for your wrist, ears, and all other preferable pulse points, think again! Mandy Aftel, former psychotherapist, makes edible and potable perfumes.
The scents she creates are starting to show up in martinis, margaritas, and even some fancier concoctions..yum?
Where can you get a little bit of this pourable potion? The vials sit behind high-profile restaurant bars, all around the country, including NYC's PDT, Pegu Club, and Booker and Dax at Momofuku Ssam Bar.
According to the NY Times, Many bartenders believe the scents add one more dimension to the multisensory experience of a good drink.
In 2011, her creations were nominated for FiFi awards,
Ms. Aftel says she's never experimented with the artificial ingredients that dominate the scent and flavor industries.
"It is the synthetic that stinks up the elevator," she said. "I am not interested in scents that have that kind of staying power. A natural perfume costs more and disappears quickly, but while it lasts it's extremely beautiful."
Would you take a sip of cocktail slipped with this new and trendy perfume potion?
The Strangest Perfumes & Colognes
There are some seriously weird scents out there, and leave it up to us to round up our top picks of the most bizarre fragrances folks! From superhero cologne, to bacon, and funeral homes, some scents that are bottlef up will surely surprise you! Let us know, which of the fragrances you're absolutely intrigued with and then which of those you are completely respulsed.
Smell like your favorite super hero with the Avengers cologne, or even any of the Mavel Heroes, from Xmen's Wolverine EDT spray to Spiderman's shampoo in blastin berry, these may be the strangest super hero powers we've seen yet!
Love that smell of wrapping the lastest and greatest Apple product? Now that scent can linger longer with Air Aroma, a scent that is bottled up but unfortunately (or fortunately) not available for purchase.
Lover of literature? Theres a scent that smells like books! That's right, Paper Passion is here to help you keep that freshly printed paper scent longer lasting than ever. The 'book' perfume opens up to reveal a cutout in the pages and keeps a classically shaped perfume bottle nestled in it's space. The perfume's unique packaging was designed by Karl Lagerfeld and Steidl themselves. The scent itself? It is said to smell like a freshly printed book, who wouldn't want to smell like that?!
Demeter, a favorite fragrance company of ours, released a scent that smells just like your favorite doughy goodness, and no we don't mean their Sugar Cookie spray. We're talking about their Play-Doh scent, made in honor of Play-Doh's 50th Birthday, ya dig?
We'd never thought we'd typed this out, but smell like meat and seduction, yes, with Flame by BK, Burger King's perfume is a meaty fragrance that is no longer sold by the chain, (phew!)
Brining it back to Demeter, they have great fragrance library, they outdid themselves here with this one, because in all reality, who wants to smell like a funeral home. The description is pretty entertaining and seems normalistic, "Funeral Home is a blend of classic white flowers: lilies, carnations, gladiolus, chrysanthemums with stems and leaves, with a hint of mahogany and oriental carpet."
A Paper Perfume for Literature Lovers
Literature lovers, lucky you, there is a paper scented perfume, 'the Paper Passion eau de Parfum'. Scent, similar to books, can capture the mind and ignite either the imagination or something that has occurred in the past, familiar with the phrase déjà vu?
There is now a new 'technology' that combines and preserves a book lovers passion; Wallpaper magazine and Gerhard Steidl, founding owner of Steidl publishing and print designer for several fashion houses including Chanel, worked with perfumer Geza Schoen to create Paper Passion, a perfume based on the scent of books.
The 'book' perfume opens up to reveal a cutout in the pages and keeps a classically shaped perfume bottle nestled in it's space. The perfume's unique packaging was designed by Karl Lagerfeld and Steidl themselves. The scent itself? It is said to smell like a freshly printed book, who wouldn't want to smell like that?!
According to Wallpaper.com,Schoen worked on capturing the scent and sourcing the necessary ingredients. 'It was hard,' he says. 'The smell of printed paper is dry and fatty; they are not notes you often work with.' Schoen managed to create the scent with just four to five ingredients, including ethyl linoleate and a selection of woody components to add dryness. Most perfumes contain between 20 and 100 ingredients, but Schoen stuck to his vision of simplicity.
Would you wear Paper Passion?
How to Fake A Perfect Tan

Choose from their luxe lotions or their weekly self tan mousse, whichever you choose, we know you'll prefer this over catching those dangerous rays in the heat of the summer.
What's really great about this line? They also carry a lotion just for the face! So not to worry about clogging your pores or using the same lotion you would use on your body, this lightweight formula is also beneficial for your face! The face tanner is gentle for every day use, and is enriched with antioxidants and moisturizers for an even more healthy, summery glow.
Which Xen-Tan product can't you wait to try out?!
WaterProof Makeup Must Have's
There is nothing worse than wearing a product that wipes off in the rain. That's why we love, love, love waterproof makeup, and that is why we're letting you know these absolute must have items that you absolutely need to keep a fresh face all day, not matter what!
From your face to your lips to the obvious, your eyes, these products are the ideal waterproof items you'll want in your bag at all times.
The most known waterproof product is mascara, so let's start with that. Sound good, it is, just like this Yves Saint Laurent Everlong lengthening waterproof mascara. It can be described as a revolutionary mascara with a modern designed brush, this will give an instant and long lasting lengthening effect while keeping your lashes waterproof!
Something you may not be keen on is a waterproof or long lasting powder. Christian Dior's Dior Skin forever compact leaves your face flawless and moist, a makeup inspired by nano-technology. It's waterproof(which is so awesome) and it's long wearing. You'll want to have this compact with you at all times, anywhere you go!
A lip stain that lasts? They're supposed to be never do, but this Laura Mercier does, it's true! This hybrid of a stain and gloss formula offers the confort and sheen of a gloss but is long wearing. With quick application and a clear glass pot packaging, this is an essential for the summer and can easily be put on with a lib brush or even your finger tips!
What waterproof, longlasting product can't you live without?
Lady GaGa Will Launch 2 Versions of Fragrance
This just in, Lady GaGa will be launching two versions of her new fragrance, one is said to be more affordable the other, which is her, "Le Masterpiece", a bigger bottle, metal cap and will be an eau de parfum. Lady GaGa says it's her 'baby'.
Check out the Twitter screen shots from Lady GaGa's account on how all of her fashion fragrance dreams are coming true and even a pic of her Le Masterpeice Fame from Haus Laboratories.
Do you think $70 for the Le Masterpiece is over the top, 'expensive'? Her fragrances will be $30 (the affordable one) and $70 for her baby.
Paris Hilton on her new perfume
Paris Hilton's 16th perfume, Dazzle is sweet, pretty and playful pink. What started out as a little 'perfume experiment' resulted in Hilton earning over $1.5 billion in the business. How many more fragrances can we expect on the market from Paris? Who's to know, maybe every few years or one for each milestone in her life?
"Creating a new fragrance or two each year has been a great way to express the changes I have gone through," she told WWD. "Now I have a whole wardrobe of them to choose from, from light and beachy to mysterious and sexy."
We wonder what her next fragrance will be, but in the meantime, the spotlight is on Dazzle, a lovely scent that opens with pink lady apple, cherry and peach nectar, and has notes of violet petals, pink calypso orchid, and oragne blossom that 'dries down' to pink champagne, a signature fragrance note of Paris Hilton's scents.
Arts Décoratifs Students Create Fragrances
We all know that fashion and fragrance do go hand and hand, and more than ever before, the lucky 8 graduating students of Paris' École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs learned, in the most fortunate way. We're a little jealous, it's true, these students got to pair up with eight International Flavors & Fragrances perfumers — including Olivier Polge, Anne Flipo and Jean-Christophe Hérault — to create fragrances inspired by their end-of-year fashion collections.
What we would have done to attend the Paris Obeservatory's gardens to view the clothing and sample the scents, ah, we can only dream.
Perfumer Dominique Ropion told WWD about student Lysmina Attou's collection and fragrance, "I saw what she does and what she wanted to say in her design," explained Ropion, adding he presented Attou some notes, such as osmanthus, jasmine and tuberose. In the end, they concocted a juice that's both "very carnal and something metallic," he said.

We all have all sorts of excuse when coming to that lazy day yet you want to have enough protein, omega-3, veggies, minerals, probiotics, something good to your body. How we wish the rice cooker can do everything for us.
Guess what, your rice cooker can do much more than that. I'm a perfect example of cooking everything in an electric rice cooker. Easy to clean up and all flavours marry together. Isn't it the best recipe on earth or what?
Yes, you definitely can cook everything in a rice cooker.
Tried and tasted!
Ingredients (What I have in the fridge)
- a piece of salmon fillet,
- cauliflowers
- 1 ripe tomato
- Rice
- Spring onions
Only if you have these ingredients, otherwise just salt and pepper is good enough to bring out the flavours of the salmon.
- Kelp
- Korean chilli paste (Gochujang) – can get from any Korean/ Asian Supermarket
- Salt, Pepper
- Sherry/ Cooking sake/ Chinese Rice wine (any cooking white wine basically, to get rid of any fishy smell)
This recipe is for 2 people. You can always adjust the portion for more people.
1. Prepare Rice
- Measure 3/4 cup of rice for 2 people.
- Wash rice, and add close to 1.5 cups of water to rice
- Rice to water ratio 1: 1.5
2. Add Cauliflowers
Cut or just simply tear the cauliflowers into smaller pieces. On top of the rice.
Lazy way: simply tear the cauliflowers apart hence no need to wash chopping board later 🙂
3. Add Tomatoes
Cut 1 big tomato into halves, facing down, place on top of cauliflowers.
4. Add Salmon
Again, just wash the salmon and remove excess bones. Don't even have to cut it, just simply place the salmon on top of everything.
Just stack salmon, tomato, cauliflowers on top of rice.
5. Seasoning
Add salt, pepper, and add a splash of cooking wine if you have. I used Shao Xin Rice Wine. But really, anything goes. No wine? No problem!!
6. Optional Seasoning
Place a few pieces of dried kelp (mine are the smaller ones) on the rice. If you have the bigger piece kelp, just place 1. They will add a nice touch of umami flavour that complementing Salmon very well.
Tips: I am talking about the bigger piece of kelp, which is the larger piece of seaweed. NOT the type of seaweed that you put into your Miso soup.
7. Just Press The Button
Cover the lid, press "Steam/Rice" button on your rice cooker and let them cook. See them after 30-40 min or until it's done!
8. After Touch
After the rice cooker is finished cooking, I'll still leave it for another 5 min before I open the lid (that will give it extra steaming time also prevents the rice from sticking at the bottom).
Then, just drizzle some sesame oil, add 2 teaspoons of Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste), remove the tomato skin and kelp, use a rice spatula, just stir everything together! Yes, everything!
You should have a pink mash of salmon tomato cauliflower rice.
9. Toppings
You can go crazy with this one!
I like to put spring onions, Japanese dried seaweed mix (those usually contains toasted sesame seeds, dried seaweed and Japanese pepper). Add some Japanese mayonnaise if that please you more! (Yes, it does please me, A Lot!)
You could have this for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! Yes, Asian have rice for breakfast! Serve with Miso soup, Kohi (Coffee).
That's my breakfast for one! Thank you, rice cooker!
Appetizer: Strawberries and yoghurt
Main: Rice cooker cooked tomato cauliflower rice with salmon and kelp,
Soup: Miso Soup
Nespresso for one
Definitely a super nutritious meal! If this is not, I don't know what is.

Learn the State Vehicle Laws Before Moving
Many people take vehicles with them when moving to a new state. It is in everyone's best interest to know the state vehicle laws before you move. This includes things such as how long you have to register your vehicle and transfer your driver's license over. It also includes seat belt laws and alcohol laws.
The vehicle laws we have chosen to list are very simplified and have been chosen based on things people to do right away upon moving. These laws do vary by state and are subject to change.
It is our goal to hand you as much information as possible while you're trying to decide where you'd like to live in the future.
We have also included links to each state's motor vehicles department and links to the full state laws.
As always, do your full research prior to moving to a state. Our job is simply to give you a head start and assist however we can.

We just had an earthquake here!
Hubby is out running errands and I was sitting at my computer pinning and blogging and all of a sudden the whole house started shaking! I mean really shaking...it scared me to death. Lasted maybe a minute but seemed like forever. I could feel the whole house just shaking hard...it was so scary.
The TV news is finally reporting it. It was centered NW of Richmond and 87 miles SW of D.C. They are reporting the magnitude at 5.9 maybe even 6.0.
This is the 2nd earthquake I have felt since living here in SE Pennsylvania. Maybe you folks out on the West Coast are use to this but not me. Tornadoes...yes....use to them. Earthquakes...no...NOT!

The staid editors of Merriam-Webster named 'austerity' the 2010 Word of the Year. Meanwhile, the trendier New Oxford American Dictionary's 2010 Word of the Year is Sarah Palin's 'refudiate'.
And while climate activists may see 2010 as a year of austerity in which our efforts were refudiated by the anti-science, pro-pollution crowd, at least we got a name that beats 'activist'.
Climate Progress names 'climate hawk' the phrase of the year!
What follows is a reposting of my 10–22–10 piece, "I'm not an environmentalist, but I am a climate hawk*" with a slight revision of the links.
My Grist colleague Dave Roberts has a must-read post, "Introducing 'climate hawks'." I'll reprint it below and then offer some comments. And I am quite interested to hear what you have to say on his idea:
On Monday I asked, "What should we call people who care about climate change and clean energy?" A fantastic discussion ensued, up to 226 comments and counting "" thanks to everybody who weighed in, not only on the site, but on Facebook, Twitter, email, and "words spoken in my physical presence" (kids, ask your parents!).
As the logorrheic post below will attest, I've read all your feedback and given the matter quite a bit of thought. At long last I've settled on something I'm happy with, though of course I'm just Some Blogger and who cares what I think.
Without further ado, the winner is "¦ [drumroll] "¦Climate hawks.
Think on it a moment. Let it sink in. Roll it around on your tongue. Now, let's discuss.
A lot of people seemed to mistake the nature of the undertaking. The point is not, emphatically not, to "rebrand environmentalism." Please kill me if I ever have to listen to another discussion about rebranding environmentalism. The point is not that environmentalists need something new to call themselves, but that the class of climate hawks is not coextensive with the class of environmentalists. They are not the same group. In a Venn diagram, there would be substantial overlap but also substantial "¦ underlap? nonlap? disjoint? Point is, there are plenty of people who understand climate change and support clean energy but do not share the rest of the ideological and sociocultural commitments that define environmentalism as historically understood in the U.S. (Which is fine!)
Anyway, the main goal of the exercise was description, not marketing or "framing" or whatever. This set of people already exists. I just need something to call them!
A few quick notes about proposals I didn't choose.
First, the term needs to be broad but shallow. That is, it needs to be broad enough to encompass everyone worried about these issues, but at the same time shallow enough that it doesn't imply a bunch of other positions or commitments. It has to be something a business executive in Akron, Ohio, or a Navy Admiral will apply to themselves. You can't smuggle a bunch of other stuff in; people just won't use it.
So that pretty much rules out "planetarians" and "sustainablists" and "sky-huggers" and the like. The last thing we need is something that says, "like an environmentalist, but even more crunchy!" (It seems not to have occurred to lots of our readers that there are many Americans who don't want to be nurturant Earth mother types.) Along the same lines, I'm somewhat fond of "transitionalist" or something else involving "transition," but a) you'd have to stop and explain that to 99.99 percent of people, and b) once you explained that you're talking about a ground-up re-engineering of human culture, you're going to get a lot of, "oh, I just wanted a solar panel "¦"
So: broad but shallow.
Second, I'd just as soon avoid a term that has elite condescension built right in. You may have noticed that elite condescension is one thing lots of folks dislike about the left! This is why "Brights" blew up in Daniel Dennett's face "" if you call yourself Bright obviously the implication is that everyone else is dumb. Similarly, while I appreciate everyone's wit, "sane" and "educated" and "sensible" and "realist" just won't do. Yes, climate denialists have tried to claim "climate realists," but to my ears they just sound defensive and pathetic. Of course whatever position you select, you think you're right. That's why you selected it! No need to go preening about it.
Third, if the term's going to catch on, it has to sound natural, something an Average Jane could say in conversation and be understood without a bunch of additional explanation. This, I'm afraid, rules out most of the neologisms "" "neodynamist" or "P4CE" or "energeers" or the like. It's very, very difficult to get a brand new term like that in circulation, mainly because the first few people to try sound like total douchecanoes. Maybe a few NYT trend pieces could do it, but I'm pretty sure Grist couldn't.
Fourth "" and I didn't get this until I read through the thread "" I'd really like to avoid any "ist" or "ism." An -ism is a tribe; an -ist is an identity. Those are substantial commitments. What's direly needed is a way for people to be able to adopt climate and clean energy as concerns without being forced to make those additional commitments. This, I have to say, is what a lot of environmentalists don't seem to get. Most people don't want to be part of a tribe defined by ideological or political commitments. Environmentalism already strikes many folks as a kind of quasi-religion. We don't want to create another -ism with similarly high barrier to entry. This, I'm sad to say, rules out "decarbonist," which was one of my faves on purely descriptive grounds.
Now, a few things I like about "climate hawk" (which I should note was first suggested by my colleague Jon).
First and foremost, it doesn't carry any implications about The Truth. It doesn't say, "I'm right, you're wrong. I'm smarter and more enlightened than you." Instead it evokes a judgment: that the risks of climate change are sufficient to warrant a robust response. By definition, everyone must make such judgments on their own. Rather than being a Manichean choice "" you get it or you're stupid "" it becomes about values, about how hard to fight and how much to sacrifice to defend America and her future. That's the right conversation to be having.
Yes, I'm well aware that "hawk" has militaristic overtones. Trust me, when it comes to matters military I'm a DFH of the old school. But lefties shouldn't be precious. The health of Mother Earth just doesn't move that many people. For better or worse, more Americans respond to evocations of toughness in the face of a threat.
In foreign policy a hawk is someone who, as Donald Rumsfeld used to put it, "leans forward," someone who's not afraid to flex America's considerable muscle, someone who takes a proactive attitude toward gathering dangers. Whatever you think about foreign policy, is that not the appropriate attitude to take toward the climate threat? Does it not evoke a visceral sense of both peril and resolve, the crucial missing elements in America's climate response?
I flirted with the term "patriot" or some variant "" "green patriot" or "clean energy patriot" "" for many of the same reasons. Climate hawks (see, I'm getting used to using it) need to reclaim patriotism as their own instead of leaving it behind because crass nationalists burdened it with all sorts of unpleasant baggage. There's a tradition of patriotism, responsibility, and resolve in America that is both potent and noble. Those who want to defend America's children and grandchildren from suffering should make no apologies about the fact that they, not the reactionaries, understand what is best about America and love her the most.
Why not "clean energy hawk"? For one thing, two words are snappier than three and easier to write. For another, it's important to keep the threat of climate change at the center of the conversation; clean energy is one way of fighting back against that threat, but there are many others. A climate hawk leans forward, wants to attack on as many fronts as possible.
This is all embedded in the term, and that's the other advantage: the meaning is immediately clear. No explanation required. It will strike people as something they already are, not something they have to be persuaded to become. It may not appeal (as much) in other countries, but most everybody gets what it means. It is shallowly descriptive enough to capture the desired referent class, but at the same time normative enough to evoke some of the right values.
And so that's why I'm going to start using it. Your thoughts, questions, and criticisms are welcome.
I think climate hawk is a good rhetorical phrase, since it offers a metaphor and is punchy.
I have long pointed out that I'm not an environmentalist "" see "Let's rename Earth Day." Not that there's anything wrong with environmentalist. I just don't happen to be one. Yes, environmentalists have screwed up their brand through flawed messaging that focuses too much on the "environment" and not enough on people, but then again just about every single part of the progressive coalition have screwed up its messaging, and I'm still a progressive.
I am a physicist by training who studied physical oceanography at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Since then, I've mostly been an energy technologist, including a 3-year stint as deputy manager and then manager of what was then the largest program in the world to work with businesses to develop and deploy clean energy and low carbon technologies. Then I became a consultant to businesses on clean energy and carbon mitigation, and then a full-time energy/climate policy analyst and blogger.
I don't think "climate hawk" applies to my view of climate science, but rather my view of climate and energy policy. My view of climate science comes from having read much of the climate science literature of the last few years and having listened to many of the leading climate scientists (for a recent literature review, see "An illustrated guide to the latest climate science"). In that respect I sometimes call myself a "climate science realist."
Now one of the main points of ClimateProgress is that a full understanding of what climate science says pretty much tells you what the policy approach needs to be "" very 'hawkish' "" which is to say deploy every last bit of low-carbon technology we have today as fast as is humanly possible, to lower emissions (and bring them down the experience curve) as fast as possible, while also aggressively pursuing more R&D, in an effort to stay as far below 450 ppm as is possible, or, failing that, to go as little above 450 ppm for as short a time period as possible. Failure to hawkishly deploy fast and hard risks triggering the carbon cycle amplifying feedbacks that are poised to take us to 700 to 1000 ppm this century, which would lead with high likelihood to multiple, incalculably-destructive catastrophes (see links at bottom).
One also needs very aggressive mitigation to even have a plausible chance that 1) geo-engineering could contribute slightly to averting catastrophe 2) real adaptation would be possible, as opposed to misery and triage masquerading as adaptation, which is where we are headed right now (see "Real adaptation is as politically tough as real mitigation, but much more expensive and not as effective in reducing future misery").
The overwhelming majority of people who have seriously read the recent literature and who have talked to a large number of top climate scientists are climate hawks, whereas the vast majority of the climate doves, deniers, delayers or lukewarmers you read online or might in person have not done those two things.
So as a shorthand for that aggressive science-driven policy, I think climate hawk is fine "" as long as you clearly define your terms when you use them, which I have the luxury of doing. The asterisk in the headline is meant to refer to climate hawk as I've defined it here, which may be different than how Roberts defines it. As I've said, in general, short phrases like that are needed when you don't have time to explain yourself. When you do, it's better to explain yourself. That's why I'd suggest you read the comments on Grist, where Roberts spends a certain amount of time explaining himself.
The term does not, however, help me as a blogger. I don't think it would be appropriate for me to call, say, Bill McKibben a climate hawk unless he himself used that term, whereas I have no problem calling him a climate science realist. I'd be interested in hearing from him and all my other readers what they think about this and whether they would want the term applied to them.
For the record, this is most certainly a fight for the health and well being of our children and countless future generations "" see Nature: "Scientists must now emphasize the science, while acknowledging that they are in a street fight."
Here is a small piece of the recent science that makes me a climate hawk:
- A stunning year in climate science reveals that human civilization is on the precipice
- Royal Society special issue details 'hellish vision' of 7°F (4°C) world — which we may face in the 2060s!

- Science: CO2 levels haven't been this high for 15 million years, when it was 5° to 10°F warmer and seas were 75 to 120 feet higher "" "We have shown that this dramatic rise in sea level is associated with an increase in CO2 levels of about 100 ppm."

Travel Guide
Save time and find the lowest cost airfare!
Some 1.8 million people call Niger's capital Bamako home. It sits prominently along the banks of the Niger River, but the unassuming cityscape does not betray the fact that the area has been lived in by humans since before written history.
The best place to begin is the Mali National Museum. The Bamako Regional Museum is also good, and breaks history down into manageable bites. Nearby are the Botanical Gardens. The Grand Mosque speaks to the religious makeup of the city, while the Point G. Hill caves show the marks left by early humans.
Bamako Senou International Airport serves the city. Over a dozen airlines fly here, where Air Mali has its hub. As an ex-French colony, Bamako is well-connected to that country via Air France.
Save on cheap flights from Bamako. See below sample of Bamako airfares and airline ticket deals.

Is It A Hoax? YouTube Sensation Gets $1 Million
(NEW YORK) -- Craig Rowin, a mild-mannered 27-year-old who has humored his friends for years, has become the latest Internet sensation by asking some of the richest Americans to "Give Me One Million Dollars."
Two months ago Rowin -- a comedian with the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York City – posted a plea for cash on YouTube. "Just give me a chunk," he implored, checking off names of some of the richest Americans.
On Thursday, in another video, he said he found a benefactor and has produced a notarized letter from that millionaire's lawyer.
Just because Rowin asked -- and for no particular reason.
Why does he want the money? "It would be awesome," said Rowin.
What will he do with the money? "I might go on a trip," he said.
Rowin said he received a phone call from the would-be philanthropist:
"Hi Craig, Benjamin, I was hoping to catch you in person," the caller said. "I want to talk about how to make you a millionaire."
Rowin has said he will reveal the man's last name when he collects the check at a Feb. 2 performance of the Upright Citizens Brigade in Manhattan.
The videos have already gotten 53,000 hits -- and climbing -- on YouTube.
"It still hasn't sunk in yet," said Rowin, who had made a personal plea to Steven Spielberg, Warren Buffet and even the Chilean coalminers who he assumed had culled book deals.
"And if you are unable, sorry," he said, checking off the names of potential donors. "You guys are all heroes."
Rowin, who for full disclosure worked as a film editor for ABCNews.com, told us, "Today is crazy."
Media outlets -- from local newspapers to Canada -- were hounding the low-key comedian today for interviews.
He insists the videos are not stunts, but longtime friends say they can't be sure.
"It's ridiculous, it can't be true," said Terry Nicol, a 29-year-old engineer from Philadelphia who follows Rowin's comedy. "But I don't want to mess up anything for him."
Nicol said he had seen the YouTube video posted on Facebook Wednesday night, "but I woke up a Philadelphia sports blog and there it was. Then all the other Internet sites had stories with hundreds of comments. "
Nicol, who has followed the comedian's career since he was in an improv group at Connecticut Colleges, said Rowin is "one of the funniest people I know."
"He has a nonchalant humor and is pretty deadpan and always has a two-day growth of beard," he said. "He's also a really sweet guy. I am really happy for him that he has gotten so popular."
"It's not surprising it would eventually come to this," said the friend. "But what is going to be his punch line? I can't figure that out."

Nuclear Power Prevents More Deaths Than It Causes
Climate Change: Study estimates that nuclear energy leads to substantially fewer pollution-related deaths and greenhouse gas emissions compared with fossil-fuel sources
It makes very interesting reading, but I am sure Greenpeace will be quick to send out its "Nuclear Experts" to make sure we all hear that nuclear reactors are just bombs waiting to detonate, sources of "masses" of radioactive waste and likely to result in "billions" of deaths. After all, most of their "experts" seem to be the children or the product of CND supporters and teachers. I confess I am getting very tired of seeing the same pictures of poorly stored low level waste - mainly tools and overalls contaminated with Alpha and Beta radiation - from a former Eastern Bloc storage site. The breathless commentator invariably tries to create the impression that this is the 'normal' method of storage for 'High Level' waste everywhere.
There certainly is High Level waste from these reactors, but not as much as some would have you believe. Yes, there are risks associated with poorly designed and built reactors such as those at Fukushima, but the truth is that there have, as yet been NO deaths from that catastrophe, and there may never be. Those who dealt with it did suffer short term illness and are being monitored for any signs of anything else, but none died. Other reactors and waste storage sites are not situated on the seashore where they can get hit by a tsunami or a massive earthquake. In fact the biggest problem is a possible 9/11 style attack on one.
Strange as it may seem, Hansen is right. Nuclear power doesn't generate a major pollution risk. Almost 95% of the fuel rods can be recovered and reprocessed to create new ones. The old Magnox type reactors are now almost all phased out, so the Plutonium 'breeding' is minimal. Only Russia, China and North Korea are still operating this type. Newer reactors also have greater efficiency and use less 'fuel' - some of the reactors now fitted to ships, for example, have a fuel life of 25 years.
It will be interesting to see how this is received among the politicians, but I suspect the Green foot soldiery will, as soon as they recover from the shock, begin howling for the paper to be withdrawn, and for its authors to be crucified as 'traitors' to the cause.
