But Mr. G likes to smell good!
So do I, but I can get away with just putting a few drops of essential oil in my fragrance-free lotion. Mr. G works two labor-intensive jobs, so he likes to wear a nice cologne in addition to the unscented crystal antiperspirant we both use (which I hear doesn't work for everyone, but it does the trick for us).
A couple days ago, we walked through the mall and stopped in one of those little Rasta/hippie/counterculture shops that sell Bob Marley posters and fair trade sculptures. We remembered that Mr. G used to buy some very sexy, manly-smelling essential oils at a hippie shop that was open in the '90s. (We're talking, so sexy that I and other women would dream about the scent after we had spent any time with him.) We guessed that this place at the mall might sell scent oils, too, and we hit the jackpot. The shop owner had everything from knockoffs of designer colognes to some of Mr. G's old-school, smoky favorites.
Some men smell divine in cool, crisp, "sea breeze" type aromas. Mr. G, on the other hand, rocks the warm, sultry, pheromone-mimicking musks like nobody's business. His '90s recipe consisted of incense-inspired elements like dragon's blood, nag champa, opium, and Egyptian musk. This time, he came up with an upgraded mix of his old stand-bys and different scents to create a lighter, but still warm and spicy blend.
The shop owner was very interested in Mr. G's unusual choices but loved the result so much that he rubbed it into his own beard! Heh... Not recommended. But anyway, he put an initial for each ingredient on the vial label so we could remember what was in there: Superior Musk, Egyptian Musk, Opium, and Kush. The resulting acronym: SMOK.
I cannot express to you in words how awesomely sexy this scent is on my husband. I couldn't stop sniffing him for the rest of the night. And when he went to work the next day, his two female coworkers took note and made some shockingly inappropriate comments about how it made them feel. (Beware letting your man use this stuff outside the home, ladies!)
I once read a blog post by a female fan of Till Lindemann (my fantasy lover, in case you didn't know, lead singer of Rammstein) saying that when she met him after a show, she expected him to be smelly and gross from all the sweating under the stage lights. But instead, she said he smelled so good she wanted to roll in him like a dog on a carcass. (Yummy.) That's pretty much the effect Mr. G's new scent has on women.
As a bonus to being the hottest thing available (and completely customizable), an essential oil blend is non-carcinogenic, won't cause birth defects or developmental problems for Baby G, won't irritate sensitive coworkers' fragrance allergies (though it may distract them, heh heh), and has intense lasting power. Two or three light touches with the roller ball keeps Mr. G smelling great all day long, without the fading effect of alcohol-based colognes or perfumes. And the price is unbeatable... One vial costs $5 and will probably last a couple of years.
If you love to pamper yourself, or your lover, with personal care products but are concerned about toxins, check out all-natural companies such as Just the Goods or sniff out one of those hippie shops. You'll be surprised at what you find; it's not necessary to come out smelling like patchouli and gutter punks. You can actually emerge giving off the olfactory signals of lust and addiction. (Talk about a love spell.) And it's very hot to have a one-of-a-kind, personalized, signature scent, even if you choose something other than warm musks.
It takes a little more searching and effort, but sometimes the cheaper, healthier option is far more luxurious! I love it when that happens.

Members of Virginia's congressional delegation criticized the Defense Department's occupancy plan for the Mark Center on Thursday, saying it conflicts with reassurances officials had provided earlier that the relocation of 6,400 workers to the Alexandria, Va., site would not cause failing levels of service to local roads.
Almost 5,000 workers would move to the facility by the end of the year, with the remaining 1,400 relocating sometime after the new year, according to the letter Reps. Jim Moran (D) and Gerald Connolly (D) and Sens. Jim Webb (D) and Mark Warner (D) sent Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
"We are particularly distressed that the DOD intends to use up to 3,800 parking spaces at the Mark Center," the lawmakers wrote. In light of legislation that has passed the House and is pending before the Senate that would limit to 1,000 the number of parking spaces at the Mark Center, the delegation requests that Panetta impose a voluntary cap of 1,000 spaces.
"We therefore ask that you immediately reconsider and revise the recently released occupation schedule and transportation plan for the Mark Center complex by incorporating a self-imposed parking restriction in order to mitigate failing levels of service to any local roadway or intersection," the delegation concludes.

Roasted Red Pepper Recipes
Edamame and Celery Salad with Roasted Peppers
I'm getting ready for our anniversary trip, so I haven't had a lot of time to cook. My aunt from Vietnam just came for a visit. She happens to be a vegetarian as well. I met her seven years ago when she came to visit my family in Paris. I remembered that she loves edamame, or baby soybeans boiled in salt water.
I decided to make a nice salad for her that incorporated edamame. I added roasted red bell pepper, perlini mozzarella and celery, along with Beluga lentils for color. I made a dressing with garlic, sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard and walnut oil.
The salad has a really nice contrast of flavors, colors and textures. If you've never tried edamame before, this is a great way to get acquainted with this tasty ingredient.

Vegetarian Tortilla Soup Recipe
I had 5 tortillas left-over from the burritos we made over the weekend that were going stale, so I decided to make a large pot of tortilla soup. I use the tortillas as a thickening agent in the soup, and also as a garnish on top of the dish. To the tortillas I added tomatoes and tomato paste for a little tartness, jalapeños for a little heat, and some kidney beans and soy chorizo for protein.
The spices give the soup an earthy flavor and the Cotija cheese and sour cream that I top each serving with are very soothing for the taste-buds.
Tortilla soup is a really hearty dish that's the perfect cure for the dreary weather we've been having here as of late.

Vegetarian Orzo Pasta Salad
Orzo is a rice shaped pasta that is very convenient for making salads. Just dice all the vegetables the same size as the orzo grains, add a vinaigrette, and you're all set. If you need meat in your meal, diced smoked turkey is a healthy and tasty option.
The reason I made this is that Lulu's family organized a fun picnic for Memorial weekend in Big Basin. It was a pot luck, and I volunteered to make the veggie dish. The orzo pasta salad is easy to make and easy to transport, which are both important considerations when you're planning a picnic. Just drizzle the vinaigrette when you're ready to eat. Make it for your next family picnic or barbecue; it's guaranteed to be a hit!

Israeli Couscous and Lentil Salad with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Gelee
I think Israeli couscous and lentils are a great combination. Lentils are often eaten with rice, and couscous is really just a grain shaped semolina pasta, so it's a perfect replacement.
I added a roasted red bell pepper gelée for texture and flavor. It is basically a red bell pepper and walnut caviar, un caviar de poivrons aux noix in French, that I mixed with a little agar so it would hold its shape when I stack the layer of lentils, bell pepper and israeli couscous in a circle cutter for a nice appealing presentation.

Tarragon Sweet Potato Roast Bell Pepper Soup
I recently posted the garlic parmesan bread. Per Anna's request, this is the recipe of the tarragon sweet potato roast bell pepper. It's a very soothing soup, especially when you are as sick as I am today. It's my version of comfort food. But don't wait until the next time you have a cold. It's super easy to make, so try it out tonight!
I roasted the sweet potatoes to bring out their natural sweetness. And of course, I added some heavy cream to give it a richer mouth feel. It's always nice to infuse a strong herb into a soup, and I chose tarragon for its peppery and sweet liquorice flavor. I have a ton in my garden; it's an easy to grow perennial, and if you're looking for something to add to you herb garden, tarragon is a great choice.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — On the last day of finals before the summer break, Louise Richardson, the principal of the University of St. Andrews, sat in her wood-paneled, book-lined corner office and washed down a vegetarian roll with bottled water. Down the road, a long par-5 from the 15th-century campus, a university donor was dining at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club.
"I should be cultivating that relationship," Richardson said to a visitor. "I'm not doing my job."
Richardson, an Irish-American, is the first female principal, or president, of the university, which was established in 1413 and is considered a leading European center for teaching and research. Her two immediate predecessors received honorary memberships to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club.
Richardson did not, a situation similar to that of Virginia Rometty, who was not invited to join the all-male Augusta National Golf Club after being named chief executive of I.B.M. in 2012. Several months later, Augusta offered membership to two women: the professor and former diplomat Condoleezza Rice and the financier Darla Moore.
The Royal and Ancient, with roughly 2,500 male members around the world, will vote on Sept. 18 on whether to admit women. On the same day, Scots will go to the polls to vote on whether to secede from Britain. The constitutional future of Scotland will be decided by a simple majority. Changing the future composition of the club requires a two-thirds vote.
For Richardson, the club's exclusion of female members transcends gender politics. It has become a workplace hurdle.
"A supporter of the university got in touch and asked if he could possibly have lunch at the R&A today," she said. "I had to arrange for somebody I know to take him to lunch at the R&A because, of course, I can't. And I had to arrange for another member of the staff to take his wife to lunch some place in town because, of course, she can't get into the R&A, either."
At the time she took office in 2009, Richardson dismissed any discussion of club membership as a nettlesome distraction to more important issues.
"I, being kind of a professional and a pragmatist, said, 'Oh, we can work something out; this is silly,' " she said. "But little did I know."
With the vote approaching, Richardson ended her silence. The Royal and Ancient's membership policies, sure to be a topic of conversation at next week's British Open at Royal Liverpool, are a hindrance to fund-raising, one of her central missions, and they also muddle the university's message. How can Richardson encourage ambition and raise aspirations among her students, 57 percent of whom are women, and not acknowledge the policy of the town's most powerful institution?
"The last thing I want to do is sound strident about this because on my list of concerns, it's not high up there, and yet it's tough when you think about it," Richardson said. "Here's St. Andrews University, ranked third in the U.K., we're an organization of 10,000 people, we support 9,000 jobs, I run this place very successfully, and I'm not allowed in the clubhouse 600 yards from my house?"
She added: "I should say I have occasionally been invited into the clubhouse. I think once a month on a Sunday, wives that are well-behaved are invited to a lunch, something like that. People have said, 'Don't worry, I'll take you to lunch.' But I've said, 'I'm not eating in the clubhouse until women can enter.' "
For the 55-year-old Richardson, golf has always been a bonding exercise. She took up the sport when she was young to spend time with her father.
The last time she played, she used hickory clubs, but it was not that long ago. In 2012, Richardson hit the first shot during a fund-raiser at Kingarrock, a golf course 10 miles from the St. Andrews Old Course and 100 years behind modern times. People who witnessed her solid shot expressed surprise at how she lifted the ball in the air. They had mistakenly interpreted her silence on the Royal and Ancient Club membership as a lack of interest in the game.
Richardson, who is married with three children, arrived at St. Andrews from Harvard, where her academic focus was terrorism. In 2006, she wrote "What Terrorists Want: Understanding the Enemy, Containing the Threat."
She is an advocate of working to understand terrorists' perspectives rather than summarily demonizing them. She speaks of isolating terrorists from what she describes as their "enabling communities."
Negotiating a trailblazer's tricky path at St. Andrews, a quaint town on the North Sea, Richardson has employed a similar strategy.
"My general approach is absolutely to try to understand the other, try to understand where they're coming from," she said.
In a community dominated by the Royal and Ancient Club and the university, the ties that bind can be tight, and sometimes uncomfortable. Richardson said she routinely found herself conducting business with club members.
"Once or twice, female professors have seen me in situations where I'm surrounded by men wearing their R&A ties, and they get really upset and offended for me," Richardson said.
She opts to make light of the situation, she said, which is not easy when the club members wave their ties in her face.
"To draw my attention, lest I didn't notice," Richardson said. "They think that's funny."
Before 2004, the Royal and Ancient Club was one of the golf's governing bodies, a responsibility since taken over by the R&A, which takes its name and many representatives from the club, but is a separate entity. The R&A also organizes the British Open, which has three courses in its regular tournament rotation with an all-male membership, including Muirfield, site of last year's event.
The all-male clubs have come under increased scrutiny since Augusta National admitted women. On the eve of the 2013 Open, Peter Dawson, the chief executive of the R&A, was asked to explain why racism was unacceptable while sexism endured.
Dawson, bristling at the comparison, described golf clubs as places where "like-minded men or, indeed, like-minded women" gather "and do their thing together." He described single-sex golf clubs as "just kind of, for some people, a way of life that they rather like."
He added: "That's not on any kind of par with racial discrimination or anti-Semitism or any of these things. It's just what people kind of do."
Six months later, Giles Morgan, the global head of sponsorship at HSBC, a British Open patron, effectively put the R&A on notice by saying the all-male membership policies have placed the bank in a difficult spot. Speaking in January at an HSBC-sponsored event in Abu Dhabi, Morgan said, "When you are showcasing one of the world's greatest tournaments, it would be much more palatable if it were played where there is not a sense of segregation."
Only one company in the FTSE 100 has no women on its board, and the holdout, the mining company Glencore, is reportedly close to appointing one. The "No Dogs or Women Allowed" shingle that once hung outside the Royal and Ancient clubhouse has been replaced by more encouraging signs. In a March teleconference with reporters, Dawson said the club believed it had "strong support" for admitting women.
Perhaps a leading contender to receive a membership invitation would be Annika Sorenstam, a 10-time winner of L.P.G.A. major tournaments who was honored in May at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.
During a pretournament ceremony behind the Muirfield Village driving range, Sorenstam mingled with previous honorees, including Sir Michael Bonallack, a five-time British Amateur champion and former secretary and captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club.
Could he imagine Sorenstam joining him as a club member?
"That wouldn't be for me to decide," he said. "The people they pick will be people who are golfers."
Richardson was guardedly optimistic, describing the club's all-male policy as a "historical anachronism" nearing extinction. She looked forward to the day when she could again look at golf as a bonding exercise, and not as a divisive pursuit that makes her job more difficult.
"This is why we're having the vote in September," Bonallack said. "To try and correct that."

The world mourned the loss of Cecil the lion this week, and in his honor, I'm skipping ahead in the OSR material on animals to cover lions and tigers, the great cats.
Cat, Great
Among the most adored, feared, loved, and respected animals in the natural world, great cats are living symbols of power, nobility, and savagery.
Tigers, like lions, are polygamous, though far less social. They possess such fearsome reputations that many longpaw communities actually worship them as minor deities and offer them sacrifices in the hopes of avoiding the tigers' wrath. Sometimes, this works. But other times, it feeds the tiger's ego and leads her to expect more from her subjects, which only makes them more terrified.
In spite of these fearsome traits, however, great cats, like their smaller kin, are highly curious and playful. They will often track or follow a group of other animals just to see what they are up to, and this sometimes creates a sense of responsibility for these animals in the cat's mind. They are also quite stealthy and shy, and when not hunting for food, great cats prefer to avoid confrontation even with obviously weaker foes. If startled or attacked, they will just as often flee the area as stand and fight, particularly when they are alone.
Great cats possess amplified versions of the game traits of small cats, as noted below.
AT (Dam): 1 bite (1d7 [1d8]), 2 claws (1d5 [1d6])
Beginning HP: 9 [10]
Habitat: Tropical to temperate forest, grasslands, savannah.
MV: 10SZ: Small
Species Traits:
- Growth Spurt: Lions go up a Size category to Medium at 3rd Total Level, and then to Large at 5th Total Level. Tigers go up to Medium at 3rd Total Level, as well, but do not achieve Large Size until 6th Total Levels.
- Low-Light Vision
- Nine Lives: Cats can re-roll nine critical failures over the course of their career. Often, this will mean the difference between life and death; hence, the name nine lives. Once these "lives" are used up, they cannot be restored.
- Scent
- Special Maneuvers: Claw/Claw, Bite/Claw/Claw, Grapple, Pounce, Rake
- Ultravision
- +2 bonus on all lore checks to climb, hide in shadows, and move silently. The bonus is +4 in tall grass or other thick foliage.
- +3 on all Warrior lore checks involving feats of strength.
- Suitable Niches: Guardian, Runner, Scout, Trickster, Warrior

It's the Year of the Ginz! – didn't you know it? - According to France's Liberation - "Après l'année Kerouac, en 2012, c'est au tour d'Allen Ginsberg d'être honoré comme symbole d'une jeunesse en rébellion contre les mœurs de l'american dream puritain". (Following the Year of Kerouac in 2012, it is the turn of Allen Ginsberg to be honored as the symbol of youth in revolt against the manners of the puritanical "American Dream"")
Liberation notes the extension of Jean Jacques Lebel's multi-media Ginsberg extravaganza at the Pompidou Center in Metz, through to the beginning of next year.
Beat movies - those ubiquitous Beat movies! From an interview in The Boston Globe, Daniel Radcliffe: "I knew nothing about Ginsberg's life," said Radcliffe. "I only knew about his poetry and sort of what he and (William) Burroughs and (Jack) Kerouac and (Neal) Cassady stood for in the pantheon of American literature. I didn't understand the poetry. I still don't understand all of the poetry"
and Dane DeHaan (from a Reuters news item) - "..DeHaan said he researched Carr (Lucien Carr)'s quirks and character in Ginsberg's books, correspondence between Ginsberg and Kerouac, and in a book written by Kerouac's first wife, Edie Parker [that would be "You'll Be Okay - My Life With Jack Kerouac" from City Lights] (more salt, then, on Brian Hassett's belief that the movie treats her unbelievably shabbily) - "One such anecdote that he (DeHaan) found (that) typified Carr's intensity was an incident where Carr stood on a deck of a ship that (David) Kammerer then sank, just so that Carr could experience the feeling of being on a sinking ship"
"Is Jack Kerouac Unfilmable? - (The new) "Big Sur" (film) is the Latest to Raise the Question" - Gabrielle Lipton has a provocative piece this week, for Indiewire - "Beat writing uses highly specific details to create an allegorical framework on which to hang all the spiritual, interpersonal and personal experiences that the writing is actually about in its quest for human truth. The visible world is the backbone for all that is unseen, which doesn't make it especially film-able."
"Seven of the Best and Worst Renditions of Allen Ginsberg" in The Advocate. We used one of them on Friday. Catch the other six (actors attempting to portray Allen Ginsberg) here
A little sweet "dish" - Gowri Ramnarayan (recounting an encounter with Allen where she thought it best to keep mum) - "And how do you keep a straight face when poet Allen Ginsberg belts out what he swears is a Kabir bhajan, at a gathering of avant-garde artistes in New York? You can't recognise a single word or note but he begs you sotto voce not to let him down before friends who believe he is an "Indian" expert".
- Ah, but he was an "Indian expert"! - (ok, well, an Indian aficionado, at least!)

Frances Grayson never quite gets over been raised by the overbearing, obsessive and disturbed women in his family. His demons raise their ugly heads, especially with his stepdaughter Elyse who tries desperately to maintain a sense of 'normalcy' for herself and her young sister Bean. Aidan Madsen, is not only Frances' mentor in his musical ambitions, but he is also Frances' mother's lover and the anguished keeper of Frances' dark delusions and murderous secrets.
Author Lee Fullbright weaves a complex and emotional tale about the members of dysfunctional families over several generations. Their actions and personalities intertwine and snake around one another with shocking and lasting repercussions; from the disturbed physically abusive, ear-biting aunts Lothian and Stella, to the manipulative Sahar who discovers the perfect way to keep her husband from leaving her.
Fullbright presents her story through the eyes of three narrators, over a period of about sixty years: Frances, Elyse and Aidan. Each story reveals a different dimension of the elaborate labyrinth of the relationship between the characters. The fact that the stories are not narrated in chronological order makes it a little confusing at times to follow the relationships between the characters; which probably explains why Fullbright includes a concise breakdown of the connections between the different characters in the beginning of the characters.
The Angry Woman Suite features a wide array of diverse characters, which Fullbright depicts magnificently, capturing every detail from the appearance to their mental state for the various cultures and ages. Fullbright's portrayals of the closeness between Elyse and her Papa is well contrasted with Frances' frightened anticipation of the abuse he is to receive from his aunts:
"Hot breath on my eyelids. Lips grazing my cheek. I squeezed my eyelids tighter, hoping the tiny teeth would not bite down this time, or at least not too hard."
Fullbright's images are powerful and evocative, work hand in hand with her skillful portrayal of the characters to create a haunting element to the dramatic story: "And being dead made a person as perennial as the sky." Also:
The big picture was huge slices of passion and deceit and those self-created
walls that had kept us separated from ourselves and one another.
The Angry Woman Suite is an unsettling and engrossing read, filled with dark twists and heartbreaking moments.

OUR LADY PEACE play the Phoenix Tuesday (April 3). See listing. Rating: NNN
According to interviews with the band, Our Lady Peace's eighth album is either a return to their 90s glory years or a bold experimental leap forward. It's not either, but were you really expecting the grunge rockers to go avant-garde? It does sound like they've bought a bunch of new effects pedals for the guitars and spent some hours reading the manuals of their keyboards, but they're essentially the same modern rock band they've always been.
Curve isn't going to change anyone's mind about Our Lady Peace. If you're a fan and aren't sick of Raine Maida's overwrought vocals, you'll enjoy it. The rest of us will stay annoyed. However, even we haters have to admit that it sounds like OLP are trying to challenge themselves, and for the first time in a while they don't seem to have written every song with mainstream radio play in mind.

The death penalty for murder in a 'terror act' that incoming Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman seeks will only apply to military courts, said a Likud source involved in the talks to bring Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party into the governing coalition.
Such a move, which Lieberman demands if his party is to join the government, would effectively exclude its application against Jews. Palestinians accused of terror offenses are prosecuted in Israeli military courts, while Jews charged with similar crimes against Palestinians are usually tried in Israeli civilian courts, noted the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The meaning of it is simple. Though Jews are not a race, Jewish politics (left, right and centre) is always racist to the core.

Over the weekend I discovered that this is an excellent little local band, that I can not be drinking as much as I used to, that Humble is scared of popcorn sounds but is willing to stick with me through the most treacherous of hungover-Daria-watching marathons, and that I was right in the assumption that a lot of people just don't get it.
And from that, we can discern that I haven't really done anything productive lately. I did, however, list a few more shirts here and here, and then that's it for those styles. Mostly because screen printing is really difficult and stressful and on the next go around, I'm paying someone else to suffer that job.

|Sighting Report
|Occurred : 1/21/2004 20:00 (Entered as : 01/21/2004 20:00)
Reported: 1/21/2004 10:11:47 PM 22:11
Posted: 1/22/2004
Location: Willits, CA
Shape: Fireball
|((NUFORC Note: We have spoken with this witness via telephone, and she sounds to us to be quite serious minded and credible. However,
bright fireball changing and flashing colors red to white to yellow to orange hovering for 30 minutes and then vanishing
At 20:00 hours or 8:oo pm pacific time Jan 21, 2004 I drove out of my country home driveway to take my Mother home and noticed this large fireball looking object in the south western sky well above the tree tops. I live at the elevation of 2400 ft and this was well above that. I was viewing it from a high open unobstrcted ridge. It was not moving and that was the reason I noticed it so much. As I drove my mother home on my way back to my house there it still was ...not moving just hovering over the ridge. At first I thought it might be a helicopter but there was no sound. I stopped and watched it for another ten minutes. Then I went to get my son to have another witness and we then watched it together for ten more minutes. Then it looked like it moved a little to the east and then it just disappeared. I am a 53 year old art teacher. It was a very clear night. I have lived here for 24 years. This object I will describe as a bright fireball changing and flashing color from red to white to yellow and hovering for 30 minutes in the same spot then vanishing.
video footage of fireball and inside interior which contains a solid shaped craft moving and hovering
Please see my first report dated willits, Ca for Jan.21. I'm including this added report for our siting because today Sat Jan 24 we looked at the video clips that my 14 year old son took the night of the siting and Wow! We put these on our computer and what looked like a fireball is blown up on the screen and you can easily see what is inside of the fireball, a shaped solid craft surrounded by the firery lights of the fireball. These pictures are incredible! The camera had a 460x digital zoom sony brand. This zoom enables us to see inside the fireball just enough to blow our minds!
video freeze framing reveals fireball turning into a rod of 11 connected smaller light balls and then going back into a fireball shape
This report is an extention of my other two reports for this date. The video footage of this event of Jan 21,04 is astounding. In freeze framing the video by way of milli seconds I have been able to see things which I could not see that night by my naked eyes. The computer enables me to not only freeze a milli second but to blow it up much larger to see just what it is or might be. There is a series of photos that I can only describe as the fireball spliting up into many smaller balls of light all attached in a long rod like formation of 11 balls of various pastel colors of light and then it goes into a progression of from 11 balls of light to 10 to 8 to 4 to 2 to one the fireball shape. It does this a few times where it goes from a long rod of attached balls of light to a single fireball of light. This is incredible and it happens so fast it could not be seen until the video was freeze framed. In other photos is is obvious that the solid white interior of the fireball is moving very fast because it changes it position and angle continually. There is another unexplainable part of this footage that puzzels me. In the bottom of the screen there is a very small dancing ball of light that at first I dismissed because it was so small in comparison to the main fireball . This tiny ball of light moves from side to side and and then at the end of the video the main fireball seems to disappear and reappear at the bottom of the screen very small with the other very small ball of light. It seems to be communicating with that tiny ball of light. We could not see this tiny ball of light with the naked eye that night of the sighting.

National Queer Arts Festival & Queer Cultural Center present "Topsy-Turvy Queer Circus: Visions. Are. Legendary"
featuring India Davis & Indi McCasey
Fri & Sat June 20 & 21
Fri 8pm, Sat 2pm & 8pm
Spin your world upside-down with Topsy-Turvy Queer Circus! This one-of-a-kind event is back for a second year of mesmerizing performances that showcase awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping circus artists from across the country.
Topsy-Turvy's geographically and culturally diverse cast of queer, trans*, and gender-variant circus performers use their bodies to tell unique stories that subvert traditional ideals of beauty, sexuality, and power. Building upon the Bay Area's rich history of dance, burlesque, drag, and performance arts, Topsy-Turvy provides financially accessible, physically inspiring theater that pushes the boundaries of contemporary circus artistic expression.
Topsy-Turvy 2013 featured artists from the Bay Area, Colorado, New Mexico, New York, Portland, and Vermont including Cirque du Soleil performer Marshall Amey and Honey Mahogany from RuPaul's Drag Race. The event became a sell-out success as the first all-queer circus show in San Francisco and is excited to return as part of the 2014 National Queer Arts Festival.

Supervision, Safety, and Caregiving
In a controversial study entitled,  "Household Composition and Fatal Unintentional Injuries Related to Child Maltreatment," Bernard G. Ewigman, professor and chairman of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Chicago found that children living in households with unrelated adults are six times more likely to die of maltreatment-related unintentional injuries, and two times more likely to die when living with foster or step-parents as compared to children living with either one or two of their biological parents.  The study further revealed that unintentional deaths to children age five and under occurred when the adult caregiver was either not present, was present but did not adequately protect the child, placed the child to sleep in an unsafe environment, or didn't use legally required safety devices.

Welcome week is here and it's time to meet the Committee Chairs!
Cal Rotaract is the largest service organization at UC Berkeley. To ensure progress on our service initiatives, the club is organized through 4 committees. Come out to this event to meet the Committee Chairs, find out how to join, and learn about our upcoming service projects for this semester.
LOCAL COMMITTEE is in charge of organizing local events around the Bay Area, and delves into social issues affecting the greater East Bay. Past service projects include events taking place in homeless shelters, schools, food kitchens, parks, daycare centers, and senior homes.
INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE is in charge of bringing international issues to the attention of our club members. In the past they've packed medical supplies to ship abroad for school feeding programs, built low cost prostheses for low income individuals in foreign countries, and mapped roads and buildings in West Africa to assist the WHO in the public health fight against Ebola!
INTERACT COMMITTEE outreaches to our high school affiliate organization: Interact. They organize joint events with local high school Interact clubs and coordinate our biannual Interact Stayover, where high schoolers from around the Bay Area come up to UC Berkeley for a weekend to learn more about college and the continuation of service into higher education and beyond.
ROTARY COMMITTEE outreaches to our adult-run parent organization, Rotary International. The committee organizes events that link Cal Rotaract with this powerful network, by hosting a mentorship program, putting on conjoined events with Rotary, facilitating professional development workshops, and sponsoring their event of the semester– Ignitus, a Ted Talks inspired event to show that service doesn't just stop after college.
Hope to see you there next Wednesday as our committees reveal their service themes for this semester!

Travel the world and experience 101 amazing places with the help of this iPhone travel app. Your Travel Dream (by Jennifer Stanley) is an Entertainment app that transports you virtually to exotic lands using high quality photos, a variety of music, and an interesting Traveler's journal. Discover crystal clear waters, arid mountain tops, beautiful landscapes, strange animals, and foreign people living out their everyday lives all around the world.
This iPhone travel app features a very simple user interface and easy navigation: Yesterday's Dream, Today's Dreams, Let's go, Twitter, and Facebook. That's it (except for a collage icon for photo viewing). Upon opening this iPhone travel app, you'll see an old world map and hear music from a far away land. This music is sure to captivate you and so will the photo slide show of your surprise destination. The photo slideshow has only 6 images and eventually turns into a photo collage screen. You can choose to revisit any one of these photos. There's even the ability to zoom out a bit to get a closer look at a photo. But it would be even nicer to have the option to scroll through the 6 photos one after the other without going back to the collage icon first.
To create a sense of intrigue and keep the element of surprise, the developer has opted to only allow 2 destinations to be viewed each day. So each new day delivers an unknown place to explore. Will it be Syndey, Australia today or perhaps Paris, France? You won't know where your adventure will lead until the day it arrives. It's a clever idea, but I was disappointed to find out that there is no way to save previously viewed destinations for later viewing. You can only see "Yesterday's Dream" and "Today's Dream." I advise you to savor the experience that each destination provides while you can. But don't worry because after viewing all of the 101 places, this iPhone travel app will take you back to the beginning of your tour. Another nice thing about this app is that once you've downloaded the app, you don't need a Wifi connection to view the content. And if you want to share the travel daydreams with your family and friends, you can share these amazing places using the Facebook and Twitter function within the app.
The authentic music is one of the most brilliant touches to this iPhone travel App. Each exotic destination has its own music selection to set the mood. In addition to photo images and entrancing music, there is a pleasant "Traveler's journal" with narratives for each place. The "Let's go" section reveals a journal page entry with some facts and casual insight about the destination. It's like you're getting a first-hand look at a real travel log. As a matter of fact, according to the developer, Jennifer Stanley, many of the included photos and "Let's go" entries in this iPhone travel app are from her own year-long travel with her husband through places like: Sri Lanka, India, Nepal,Turkey, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, and more.
This app is all about the fantasy, losing yourself in the moment, and drifting away to a wonderfully exotic and exciting place. Maybe you'll get there one day, but if not, the next best thing is in "Your Travel Dream." If you'd like to try out this entertaining iPhone travel app for free, there are a few promo codes below. We'd love to hear what you think of the Your Travel Dream app. Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

To bring to mind
a life that's past.
To rekindle a feeling
that will forever last.
To envision the faces
with warm, sweet smiles.
To bring loved ones near
from across the miles.
To hear the laughter
of those that gathered.
To be reminded
of what really mattered.
To revisit familiar places
of which we've thought.
To feel the excitement
of gifts friends bought.
These precious memories
can all be gotten.
If photographs are taken, kept,
and not forgotten.

COPY EDITOR CYNTHIA L. OROSCO: I was impressed with this little ute as I walked up to it in the garage. Nice exterior lines. The Tribeca looks sporty, but it's also roomy inside. In fact, I was quite surprised to see that there are three rows of seats. While I didn't put them to use in my overnight with the ute, they were easy to flip down--quickly--as we loaded our monthly grocery run into the back in a pouring rain.
Inside, the materials are nice, and I really like the wrap feel of the center stack and the way it's set up on an angle, so that everything is at reach and you're not stretching across to change the radio or adjust the climate controls. The seats are comfy and have good bolster, although the seating position is a bit too high for my liking. My head was nearly hitting the headliner, and I felt as if I was driving on top of, instead of inside of, the Tribeca. I did like the clean gauges and the layout, something I've come to find common in the Subies that I've driven.
There's plenty of power underhood, and it comes on quick and smooth. Even on wet roads, the ute was solid with no feeling of slippage and braking was firm. This Tribeca is certainly something to consider.
EDITOR WES RAYNAL: This car really needed its 2008 restyle, and even though it now looks as if it comes from Chrysler, it is a huge improvement over that old one, Pontiac Aztekian in its ugliness.
It drives well. The ride is smooth, it's quiet and it feels much lighter than it actually is. That's nearly 1,000 pounds less (1,000 pounds!!!) than General Motors' crossovers, and the Subaru is a more fun, more flingable ride as a result.
The power is decent, the transmission is mated well to this engine, and the ute is fun to flick around. The interior design is nice, especially the wraparound center stack on the dash. For the most part, the materials are decent; a few could use an upgrade, and this particular model had some nasty rattles in the back. That's rather unacceptable for a car that costs this much. While it's good to see that there's a third row in case it's needed, it's for kids only.
EXECUTIVE EDITOR ROGER HART: Nice to see that Subaru got the styling of this thing sorted out. It's not a bad-looking piece, especially the front grille. Driving it, I realized I have spent more time riding in one of these than driving, as this was the ute that Subaru used to ferry me around Wales while spectating at the WRC event there a couple of years ago.
What I remember was the great heated seats and the defroster's ability to clear the windshield of all the humidity brought into it by four soaking journalists. The seats are as I remember, and thankfully, I didn't need to use the defroster as much.
Get in just about any other Subaru, and it has a Subie feel to it. This one doesn't, despite the boxer engine. But that doesn't necessarily make it bad, because I actually think the Tribeca is a perfectly fine crossover. I'm sure Subaru dealers like having something such as this in the showroom when shoppers stop by and say the Outback or the Forester are a bit too small for them.
SENIOR EDITOR FOR NEWS BOB GRITZINGER: I know every car company seems to think it needs an SUV in this size and three-row configuration, but maybe Subaru isn't one of them. Every time I drive a Tribeca, I get this nagging feeling that it's a nice-enough ute, but that it's too big to be a Subaru. It's like someone took a perfectly good Forester and supersized it for the overweight American market, but lost the secret sauce in the process.
Subaru isn't alone in this--the Mazda CX-9 seems too big for a company that touts its "zoom-zoom" at every turn, and the Pilot seems equally out of place in a Honda showroom focused on Accords and Civics. All good vehicles, but they're just out of place with the companies selling them.
As noted above, the Tribeca is a perfectly fine crossover, with good power, reasonable road manners and guaranteed surefootedness. I found the seating position hard to get to the right spot (no telescoping steering column--at this price?), and the confusing combination of buttons and touch-screen interface detract from an otherwise nice interior. Second-row legroom is tight, so I can't imagine what kind of stubs a third-row rider would be limited to.
Subie's strong, flat engine and AWD are its biggest pluses; build quality (what was the noise in back?) and attention to little details continue to hamper this model. At least they got the styling problems straightened out.

For those of you unaware, our Chef/Owner Parke Ulrich is a seabody. Chef Parke's relationship with the sea is so deep, he decided to invest in a seafood restaurant known as Waterbar. Not only invest, but dedicate his life to the most sustainable, freshest and local products and ingredients while doing his best to give back. Hence our Oyster GiveBack Campaign and the countless other events we support.
With that in mind, this event is something fun that Chef Parke is a part of being that he's a member of the Treasure Island Yacht Club. As is Joe Wrye, our head bartender. Although EPIC Steak is hosting the pre-race reception from 6-8pm on Friday July 8th, Waterbar is happy to share in our sisters glory. We are also a sponsor after all. The calender looks pretty packed full of awesome and we thought it only appropriate to spread the word. The Westpoint Regatta is a yacht race sponsored by the Sequoia Yacht Club, Treasure Island Yacht Club and Westpoint Harbor. The fleet race goes around Alcatraz and rockets downwind with the flood tide to The Sequoia Yacht Club in Redwood City. Sounds like an incredible adventure, and the parties?! We can think of worse things.

Return the volume id list if they exist in CG when querying CG detail.
Currently, querying consistency group detail will not return list of volumes ids that exist in this CG, end users don't know how many and which volumes are in it. They must query the volume detail one by one to get the CG's id and form the list of volume ids. It's very inconvenient to user experience.
After adding volumes to a consistency group, end user wants to know how many and which volumes are in a CG before they decide to make CG snapshot. According to this feature, they can get this information easily by querying consistency group detail, and make further adjustment, like adding more volumes, or remove some volumes from this consistency group.
1.Add volume id list into response body of querying a consistency group detail if user wants those volume's information.
2.Add group_id query filter to /volumes to get a list of volumes in a CG. For example "cinder list –group-id <uuid of CG>".
NOTE: Since we're working on Generic Volume Group[1], to avoid unnecessary code migration later, we will implement the 'group_id' query filter first, and after Generic Volume Group is merged, we will implement the #1 way dependent on the Generic Group spec.
For performance impact, if we want to add index to consistencygroup_id column, there is data model impact.
Add volume id list into response body of querying a CG detail if specifying the argument 'list_volume=True', this will be dependent on the Generic Group spec now, so just leave a example here:
GET /v3/{project_id}/consistencygroups/{consistency_group_id}?list_volume=True
{"consistencygroup": {"status": "XXX",
"description": "XXX",
Add a filter "group_id=xxx" in URL of querying volume list/detail:
GET /v3/{project_id}/volumes?group_id=XXX
There is no performance impact if user is NOT using 'list_volume=True'. We just need to consider to add a additional DB query to get all volume ids which have same CG id. So the performance impact should be small with 'list_volume=True'. If considering large scale volumes, we can add index to consistencygroup_id column of volume table to reduce performance impact.
Implement code in db query and add list to response body.
Update cinderclient to support this function.
Add change to API doc.
Both unit and Tempest tests need to be created to cover the code change that mentioned in "Proposed change".
The cinder API documentation will need to be updated to reflect the REST API changes.

"We are truly grateful to Westbury House School for giving our children such a happy and engaging start to their school life. They are always excited to go to school, and full of smiles at the end of each day. The pastoral care is akin to a home from home. Mrs Murray and the early years team clearly care for the children and for their development. It is so important that first impressions of school life are happy ones and we are delighted with Westbury House."

This dress balances gingerly on a fine line between club girl and Star Trek convention (in a good way) and I'm kind of loving how easy it is to toss together with all-black accessories and be done for the day. And while I'm far from a Trekkie of any sort, I did have a huge childhood crush on Spock. Plus a night club on the Star Trek Enterprise might be the only place at which I would definitely consider waiting in line..

bar shu, london w1
last week three friends and i decided to try the sichuan delights of bar shu.
opened earlier this year, bar shu is one of a very few sichuan restaurants in the capital and has been hailed as a place worth visiting. assuming you can cope with hot food that is! sichuan cuisine is known for its "ma la" (numbing and hot) dishes - the numbing effect comes from sichuan pepper (a tingling mouth as you feel the heat followed by a numbing effect) and the heat comes from the plentiful use of chillis and chilli oil.
having read a few reviews we didn't take long to order. we started with numbing and hot dried beef (beef with a taste and texture reminiscent of jerky, flavoured with the sichuan peppercorns and smothered with chilli oil – a good introduction to ma la!) and phoenix tail lettuce in sesame sauce (the cooling effect of the lettuce with its tahini sauce was appreciated as our taste-buds started to adapt).
several dishes then arrived together - fire-exploded kidney flowers (kidneys cross-hatched as squid often is, then quickly stir fried with mushrooms, causing the flesh to "flower" and creating a beautifully tender texture), dry-fried beans (incredibly more-ish green beans fried with crumbs of minced pork, garlic, chilli and ya cai, a mustard green), pock-marked old woman's bean curd (soft bean curd with a rich spicy sauce, this was one of my favourites) and twice-cooked pork belly which was melt-in-the-mouth tender and flavoured with a chilli bean paste.
as we worked our way through these dishes we all started to feel very full but then came our final dish – a hot and fragrant whole crab. this was beautiful to look at and even better to eat. an abundance of sweet crab meat, a fabulously rich mixture of brown meat and herbs and spices, which was packed into the shell, all sprinkled with ginger, garlic, chilli peanuts and spring onions.
the crab tasted wonderful but i really wish it hadn't arrived at the end of the meal as my full tummy and tiring taste-buds really didn't appreciate it as much as if it had been our starter. this is what i will request next time we visit!

It's time to start planning for next year's conferences, because this stuff starts very, very far out. The Society for American Archaeology's Annual Meeting will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from March 29 – April 2, 2017. I'm currently involved with planning two sessions, one for Project #Moonstuff, and one on archaeogaming.
While this is an organized session, it's not a closed one. If anyone is interested in participating, they should get in contact with me and I'll be glad to talk about the session, and provide information on how to submit an abstract to it. I'm particularly interested in having diverse voices within the papers, so varied backgrounds and experience levels are welcome.
The abstract for the proposed archaeogaming symposium is:
Archaeogaming: Studying Material Culture in Immaterial Worlds
Archaeogaming posits that immaterial worlds, such as those found in single and multiplayer video-games, are viable spaces in which to study material culture, recognizing that created cultures are the inherited product of cultural influences from within our own "real" world. By examining each game space, we can isolate the particular culture of the created world, can apply archaeological and ethnographic techniques, and can address larger issues of theory and practice in non-destructive, replicable ways. Within this session, practitioners involved in the emerging four fields of archaeogaming will discuss their work. Papers focus on the archaeology of video-games and related technologies via real-world excavation, archaeology within video-games via digital excavation, the creation of archaeological video-games, and critical examinations of archaeology and cultural heritage in video-games.
The abstract for my proposed paper within the session is:
Codifying Ethical "Field" Methodologies Within Immaterial Spaces
As archaeogaming posits that immaterial space is a valid sphere in which to study material culture, it is necessary to determine how common archaeological practices can be performed within that sphere, and whether the performative acts are, given the limitations and bounds of immaterial space, still appropriate as method. In addition, the ethical ramifications of common practice require reconsideration, as their performance occurs in contexts and involves situations where AI actors may be unable to consent to engagement or participation in potentially problematic fieldwork. Through both discussions of theory and case study examples, the argument will be made that it is only through a conscious application of an applied ethics policy that fieldwork conducted in immaterial space can be considered valid archaeologically.

Island iguanas are the largest land-dwelling animals on most Caribbean islands and are crucial to healthy ecosystems—but they're also the most threatened.
Of extinctions since the year 1500 have been island species.
Cousins, Not Twins
Island iguanas have some obvious characteristics in common, but each species is unique. Some live in tropical forests, others in rocky, dry desert conditions. This makes sense, as each species has evolved in isolation; most iguanas are endemic to their islands, meaning they can be found nowhere else on Earth.
Number of eggs some species lay at one time.
A Headstart
What's a sign of a struggling species? No juveniles. Where there are no juveniles, there will be no adults. For most of their existence, island iguanas had no natural predators. That changed when humans came ashore with cats, dogs, rats, and livestock. Adult iguanas are big enough to fight off these mammals, but babies are easy prey. Our scientists have begun headstarting programs where hatchlings are raised in safety until they're big enough to be released back into the wild and fend for themselves.
Together, we can
turn things around.™

Reptile species on Caribbean islands.
Getting On Board
For more than 30 years, San Diego Zoo Global scientists, conservationists, and partners have been in the Caribbean studying and helping these intriguing animals. We use our knowledge from field conservation to implement successful breeding and reintroduction programs, and conduct outreach in local communities to give these lizards a fighting chance.
Of island species are found nowhere else in the world.
San Diego Zoo Global is the only organization to have successfully bred the endangered "Big Three": Grand Cayman blue, Anegada Island, and Jamaican iguanas. This was made possible thanks to the generous support of friends like you. As we continue to study these species and reintroduce animals into the wild, will you help us?
What You Can Do, Right Now

Halloween Candy Companies Have Brainwashed Us Into Buying
The average American will spend $66.28 on Halloween this year, $20.29 of which will go toward candy purchases, according to the National Retail Federation. (Costumes are the No. 1 expense.)
But when trick-or-treating first became popular in the 1920s, children received whatever neighbors had on hand: apples, pastries, breads and even money. Flash-forward to the 21st century: We now spend $1.8 billion on Halloween candy each year—so, what has changed?
"Companies went after Halloween candy a long time ago," says Nancy M. Childs, PhD, a professor of food marketing at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. "Candy companies are active and aggressive marketers who offer convenient, prepackaged treats to fulfill the tradition. Halloween is now a model for other holidays—candy baskets for Easter, candy canes for Christmas, holiday-themed M&Ms, chocolates for Valentine's Day."
When Americans began rewarding children with candy in the late 19th century, sweet treats were soon associated with celebrations and emotional satisfaction. Dr. Childs demonstrates this psychological connection in her classes through a candy-association exercise, in which each student receives a Hershey's Kiss. She then asks students to verbalize their associations with the candy.
"The students are always amazed at how many vivid and emotional memories they have wrapped inside a Hershey's Kiss: childhood, holidays, favorite times, grandparents," she says. "This emotional connection is very real."
In the end, Dr. Childs encourages consumers to enjoy sweet treats in moderation.
"Fun occasions like Halloween should be enjoyed for just what they are—fun and occasional," she says.
Editor's Suggestion: Pack some fresh fruit into your organic Halloween celebration with our recipe for Chocolate-Dipped Halloween Apples (right).

Atwar Bahjat, RIP
I won't go into the events in Iraq themselves, but this latest escalation of conflict between Sunni and Shia in Iraq is deeply worrying. I can't say I have had much hope for Iraq anyway over recent months (receiving news several times a day of riots and deaths on my mobile phone has that effect), but this is getting into overt civil war territory. One of yesterday's victims was Al Arabiya journalist Atwar Bahjat, and the Times has a nice homage to her:
THERE were so many reasons not to kill Atwar Bahjat. She was half Sunni, half Shia, a woman, an Iraqi, 30 years old, a native of Samarra and a renowned journalist for the Dubai-based al-Arabiya news channel.She is the 11th employee of Al Arabiya to die since the invasion of Iraq, which begs the question of what they're doing in terms of security there.
Yet kill her they did. They shot her to death on a dusty road six miles north of her home town as she reported on the bomb that wrecked Samarra's sacred Shia shrine on Wednesday.
She died with two colleagues — early victims in a frenzy of revenge killings that has dragged Iraq to the brink of civil war. Being half Shia was not enough to save her. For three years the fragile truce between Iraq's once-dominant Sunni minority and long-oppressed Shia majority had held in the face of suicide bombs in market places, car bombs outside police stations and corpses found in ditches.
That truce is now at breaking point. Across Baghdad and other cities Shia death squads have been tracking down and butchering Sunnis. Scores of Sunni mosques have been attacked, some of their Imams killed or abducted. The curfew has been extended, and all police and army leave cancelled.
By last night the death toll was nearing 200, and Sunni politicians ended talks on forming a new government with the Shia alliance. The Iraq whose outline was that of Atwar Bahjat's trademark gold pendant was at risk of sundering.

• Know your attendees' skill levels
• Making the most of the outing for everyone
• Considerations for golf fundraising events
Getting outside is a great enhancement to any event. Fresh air and sunlight give attendees a sense of ease and relaxation, which makes golf a great team activity.
Golf outings provide a unique opportunity to build relationships, Kerry Brahm, Sales Manager, Geneva National Resort, explained, "You are spending four to five hours on the course with three other people. If you don't know each other going into the game, you will! Golf outings help build relationships and pull your team together outside of the office. On the golf course, everyone is relaxed and having fun. You see different sides of people's personalities and get to know each other on a different level."

So it shouldn't surprise anyone that I'm already planning out updates to our breakfast nook. Although our nook is right next to the kitchen, so technically it could be lumped into our current kitchen update (if you think like my husband anyway). To me though separate space = separate budget = separate project!
Here is a look at our nook area as it was last Friday. We now have new tile (but not yet grout) up above the kitchen peninsula, so ignore the bare patch of drywall in the photo. Also, kindly ignore the strip of uneven wall and baseboard to the far right, since that is still leftover from when we took down the half wall railing that used to separate the nook and the family room. We'll be fixing that after we're done with the kitchen stuff.
Basically our nook is now just an open space between the kitchen and the family room that features a large window. It isn't a huge space, and it also is part pathway between the two rooms, so it can't be overflowing with furniture. But it can definitely stand to get a little love.
