LEGO people are notorious for having stiff, plastic hair. Although that's not something human beings usually strive for, that's exactly what these women got. Design firm Elroy Klee created hair out of LEGOs.
The project was dubbed Mindplay: bricks on me and features photography by Niki Kits-Polman and Ebo Fraterman, and make-up by Esther Dijkman.
I think it's certainly an interesting experiment in fashion, but I wish they'd gone even further. Try some up-dos, pony tails, or even braids. Would you rock a LEGO wig for a day?

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
An Ontario court ruled this week against Jevco Insurance when a judge decided that auto insurance providers must defend actions against their policyholders even after paying their policy limits, but slammed the province's Standard Automobile Policy (SAP) for "muddled and contradictory" wording.
Jevco wrote an insurance policy for Vishal Malaviya, who was sued as a result of a car accident in October 2005. In 2008, after hiring a lawyer who filed a statement of defence for Malaviya, Jevco offered to pay $200,000, which was the limit of Malaviya's policy, to the party suing Malaviya.
The action against Malaviya was still proceeding, so Jevco applied to the court to get a declaration it has "has no continuing duty to indemnify or defend" Malaviya, who argued that the policy "requires a full defense ... until it is tried on the merits or a final settlement is reached."
In a Jan. 29 decision, Judge Edward Morgan ruled against Jevco, noting that Section 245 of the provincial insurance act applies in the case of Jevco v. Malaviya.
Section 245 states that every motor vehicle liability policy "shall provide that, where a person insured by the contract is involved in an accident ... in respect of which insurance is provided under the contract and resulting in loss or damage to persons or property, the insurer shall ... defend in the name and on behalf of the insured and at the cost of the insurer any civil action that is at any time brought against the insured on account of loss or damage to persons or property."
Judge Morgan noted the SAP is unclear on the issue of an insurer's duty to defend.
"The SAP takes muddled and contradictory drafting to a rarified level," Judge Morgan noted in his decision. "On one hand, the second paragraph of section 3.3.1 advises insured parties that if they are sued the insurer will provide a defence and cover the costs of that defence. On the other hand, three paragraphs later in that very same section, insureds are advised that if they are sued for an amount beyond the policy's coverage they may wish to hire a lawyer at their own cost to protect against that above-coverage risk. This latter advisory is set apart in the text by placing it in a box.
"Then, as if to really clear things up, section 3.3.2 provides certain examples in an even larger box. These examples let insured parties know that the insurer will hire lawyers to defend any claim, and that the insurer will pay the losses and, if ordered, the other side's legal costs up to the amount of the coverage limit."
But section 3.3.2 of the SAP "is utterly silent," Judge Morgan wrote, "on the one question that is not clearly answered in section 3.3.1- i.e. will the insurer pay the insured's own legal costs above and beyond the coverage limit?"
According to court records, Jevco argued: "There is simply no good reason to require an insurer to cover defense costs for an insured when it is not responsible to indemnify the insured against liability."
Jevco quoted from an Ontario Superior Court judgement in 2004 in Boreal Insurance Inc. v Lafarge Canada Inc., and from the judgement in the 2001 case of Dominion of Canada General Insurance Co. v Kingsway General Insurance Co.
In the latter case, a Kingsway policyholder, Benjamin Ross, was sued by four parties after a serious car accident, and had exceeded the policy limits. Dominion was the underinsurance carrier for and being sued by one of the plaintiffs, Laura Talarico, who had a $1 million Dominion policy.
The Dominion was opposing a motion removing Ross's counsel of record and sought standing to argue the issue. The Dominion argued "that the duty to defend under the policy continues as long as the insured is exposed in a law suit, even if that exposure is only in a personal capacity."
Judge Harrison Arrell ruled in February 2011 against Dominion, stating: "To rule that Kingsway must continue to defend and pay all defence costs, of which only the Dominion would in reality benefit, is illogical and flies in the face of encouraging primary insurers to enter into timely resolution of cases."
In his Jan. 29 ruling, Judge Morgan stated the Jevco case was different in that "what was at issue (in Dominion v. Kingsway) was the defendant's desire to determine the liability of her own excess insurer and to have the legal expense of that determination borne by her primary insurer rather than by her."
In Ontario's SAP, Judge Morgan wrote, Section 3.1.1 "is drafted in a rather terse and cryptic fashion" and "has led to confusion as to where the insurer's duty to defend ends."
But Section 245 of the Insurance Act is clear, he added.
"Nowhere does it say, or even suggest, that the insurer must bear the cost of defending the insured only up to the coverage limits; quite the contrary, it provides that the defence costs of a claim are to be borne by the insurer," he wrote. "There is no limiting language in section 245."
He noted Ontario auto insurance law "promotes efficient running of the system by ensuring that all parties facing motor vehicle claims are defended by counsel, and it achieves comprehensiveness by ensuring that this defense requirement is unqualified for all insured parties."
The duty of insurers to defend "has the effect of eliminating what could otherwise be the difficult personal and systemic problem of litigants representing themselves - a challenging enough task at the best of times, let alone for parties in the aftermath of a motor vehicle accident."

Friends gathered at Christ Church Episcopal in Greenville Thursday night for a candlelight vigil held for the youth in the area. Many of them are grieving after the deaths of nine people killed in a plane crash in Alaska.
The plane crashed shortly after take off, and now investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board are looking over the wreckage at the airport in Soldotna.
Friends say the Antonakos and McManus families were very active in the community. Bag pipes played as hundreds entered the Saints Center on the church campus for the service. They held hands, cried and hugged one another.
Inside, The Revered Keith Turbeville gave a message about celebrating life.
"For many of them this is their first time they've known someone who has passed away. I think over time, as I told them tonight, the pain will turn into beautiful memories," Turbeville said.
The clergy with the church said they want to make sure young people remember their faith during their time of grief.
"Life is fragile and life is a gift. And we should wake up each morning, and give God thanks for the gift of a new day and when we go to bed at night, give God thanks for the day that we've had," The Revered Harrison McLeod said.
During the ceremony the group sang songs, lit candles and held special moments of reflection.
"God will be with us through whatever happens. Whether its life, or death, or an accident, or loss or whatever it is, we have a companion in Christ Jesus," The Reverend Robert Chiles said.
We're told many of the children gathered in groups and talked about their feelings, as well as good memories of both families.
"We had them share their own stories and memories to write for themselves to remember for a decade, for 20 years and to write families too," Joel Tassie, Director of Middle School and College Ministries said.
A memorial service will be held Friday, July 12 at 11:00 a.m. at Christ Church Episcopal's chapel in honor of both families.

Beacon House Inn Bed & Breakfast Review
Back in the 1950s, these pine-panel rooms were a boardinghouse, and Beacon House is filled with reminders of those days. In the morning enjoy a full breakfast and borrow towels before heading across the street for a day at the beach. The rooms aren't particularly large, but all except one have an en-suite bathroom, and suite bathrooms are luxurious, with a hot tub or a multihead shower. Three cottages with full kitchens give families—and pet owners—a vacation alternative.

Posted 23 July 2013 - 02:39 PM
I tried PMing this at Best Buy on Sunday, but they wouldn't do it because my local store only had this version of the set in stock: http://www.amazon.co...ultimate matrix, while Amazon's deal of the day was for this version: http://www.amazon.co...ultimate matrix, and the manager said they can't price match unless the item is EXACTLY the same across the stores.
It was pretty disappointing!

Sony Tablet S review
A top-quality tablet, with a thoughtful design and a host of useful software and extras
Review Date: 27 Sep 2011
Reviewed By: Jonathan Bray
Price when reviewed: £333 (£399 inc VAT)
Buy it now for: £170
(see more store prices)
Features & Design
Value for Money
Sony has an enviable record of producing top-quality, high-end laptops, but its attempts to jump on the budget portable bandwagon have so far met with mixed success. It ignored netbooks until it was too late, and even tried to reinvent the genre with the ill-fated, pocket-sized P Series.
Its belated entry into the tablet race, the Tablet S, is a much more mainstream affair. Pricing is on a par with the iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: the 16GB Wi-Fi version costs £399, and the 32GB is £480, while the 16GB 3G model costs £500. It has a dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU and 1GB of RAM running Android Honeycomb 3.2.
Sony being Sony, though, things aren't left at that. In fact, in a market where it's becoming increasingly tough to stand out, the Tablet S is something of a guiding light. It boasts a unique wedge-shaped profile, which has a number of advantages. When you pop it down on a desk, it sets the screen at a slight angle so you don't have to hunch over to see the screen and type. The thick edge gives you a good chunk to grip onto, and most of the weight is at that edge, making it much more balanced to hold in one hand than its rivals. The 586g weight, smaller 9.4in screen and grippy, textured rear panel also help.
Other practical additions include a micro USB socket that can be used not only as a means of transferring files from PC/laptop to tablet, but also as a USB host, allowing you to connect extra storage, a keyboard, mouse or game controller via a converter cable (not included). There's also a full-sized SD card slot, so supplementing the 16GB or 32GB of storage is simple. The one major omission is an HDMI output.
The best part is that although the textured plastics don't feel as expensive as those in the Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Tablet S looks every bit the premium device. Its thin edge tapers down to 9.8mm, the sides are shaped so the tablet looks like a folded-over sheaf of paper, and the gloss black contrasts satisfyingly with matte silver plastic. It's a very handsome piece of kit.
Remote control
Sony's other main innovation focuses on home entertainment, with the Tablet S featuring an infrared emitter, allowing it to be used as a universal remote control. As you'd expect, setting up new devices is straightforward: select the manufacturer from a list, then the product type, and cycle through the options provided until you hit upon something that works.
In a few minutes, we had a Samsung TV and Windows Media Center PC up and running, then took it to another house and set up a Sky HD box and Panasonic Viera TV. We struggled when it came to more esoteric AV components: stereo amplifiers are limited to seven manufacturers, and we couldn't find ours on the list; and there was no sign of the Virgin Media TiVo DVR.
But the good news is the tablet can also "learn" commands, so if you can't find your device in the tablet's very long list, you'll be able to program it in. And once set up, it all works beautifully.
There's no point in innovating if you don't do the basics right, and we're happy to report that Sony has got it spot on. The 1,280 x 800 resolution display is top class, boasting superb brightness and contrast. We measured the former at 379cd/m2 and the latter at 733:1 – on a level with the iPad 2. Suffice it to say, movies and pictures look outstanding, and good viewing angles mean it's just at home acting as a shared photo album as a personal movie and music player.
Menu scrolling and the like feel immediate and smooth, as do web page panning, zooming and scrolling actions. And when pushed through our set of benchmarks, the Sony produced the sorts of figures we've come to expect from a top tablet: the BBC desktop homepage loaded in four seconds, the SunSpider JavaScript test finished in 2,191ms, and it scored 1,805 points in the Android Quadrant benchmark. Battery life is acceptable: it played our low-resolution video continuously for 8hrs 41mins before running out of juice.

Sony is always Sony
They do make decent hardware (not their TV's) but they cannot do software. The problem with every android product is the bloatware. Every android manufacturer does this and Sony are the worst with android devices.
Having purchased the asus transformer and galaxy tab 10.1 the only thing the Sony can do different is control a TV/Sky box.
All its other apps, DLNA etc.. can be found on the interwebs and there are actually better DLNA apps on the market out there.
I also think its too late to buy a dual core tablet when the quad cores are going to be out soon. So why this tablet now??

Something original finally
I usually hate Sony and their proprietary shaneningans, but I have to hand it to them and I am quite impressed with this tablet. The IR control is a touch of genius I haven't even thought I would need, but given these things generally hang in front of a TV it makes a lot of sense.
By TheMegamale on 28 Sep 2011
Nice hardware but...
The Sony Tablet S certainly looks nice, but I question the location of the power button... looks like it could be pressed accidentally, esp by left-handers.
I agree with @r1sh12's comments re the unnecessary add-ons that manufacturers insist on including.
I do like the inclusion of an IR emitter (something I wish all Android devices had from the start) but the Remote Control software! Call that a UI? How clunky can you get? I'm surprised Sony let that be seen on this otherwise attractive piece of kit.
By blueleaf on 29 Sep 2011
Only one gripe...
Have had one since Monday and the review is spot on. The IR function is brilliant and a doodle to set up, even learning an unlisted controller.
One major criticism, Sony should have include a 4-way accelerometer; the weighted/folded design is great for left or right handed portrait mode but for long stints of holding in landscape mode, being able to hold it with the "thick end"at the bottom would be a lot more comfortable.

Always liked Sony products but they lost me after the data issues this summer.
Agree about the comment regarding awful Sony software, I have a Sony eReader and the hardware is good but the bundled software is dire, thank God for Calibre.

It looks like a great device, but it should be noted that contrary to what is said in the article, the wedge shape is far from unique, having been used in the Notion Ink 'Adam' for the eighteen months or so. Much as I appreciated the advantages that the wedge shape gave, it still left me feeling slightly emabarressed using it on the train when the guy opposite was using a (technically inferior but very sleek) ipad.

SD Card Slot
Some reviews say that the SD Card slot isn't for storage per se, merely for allowing the transfer of items from PC to tablet.
Can you confirm:
1) if it's possible to put videos / music (in correct format) onto the SD card from a PC and play them directly from the SD card on the tablet?
2) if the SD card can be used as extra storage accessible to android (like the micro SD cards in the android phones).
By Nafod on 17 Oct 2011
sd card slot
you can play anything(in the right format)from the sd card. i have had my sony tablet s since release day and it is top quality, i am anti ipad-iphone because of the restriction to apple.if you want a better alternative to apple and you can break free then sony has cracked it with this tablet with android 3.2

Docking Station
It had to be Android for me and so I got hold of a Galaxy and a Sony S. The big difference for me is the lack of accessories for the Sony. Samsung appear to have filled the shelves with accessories. The Sony feels safer in my large hands than the Samsung which feels like it will snap any minute. I love the remote control. Shame it didn't come with the 50 pence cost to make USB lead.
By mratkins on 14 Nov 2011
Dont Purchase this item
I brought the Sony tablet three weeks ago and since then i have already had to replace the item due to all the applications closing on its own, unfortunitly Sony support have no knowledge on the product. I now also have a new problem occuring that the tablet wont connect to wifi. I think the item is great without all the issues i would suggest waiting 6 months before you purchase

No Car Charger !!!
Just found out I cant buy a Car charger for the Tablet S.
Sony dont do one and thanks to the silly Proprietary connector there are no 3rd party ones that I can find either.
Which ever idiot at Sony decided on this needs to be sacked!
By harry66 on 23 Mar 2012
Yes definitely no car charger
Sony customer service rep has confirmed that they definitely dont have any plans to produce a car charger for the Tablet S.
Unbelievable! A decision worthy of Homer Simpson - no that is an insult to Homer. He does occasionally make some common sense decisions.
By harry66 on 30 Mar 2012
re: Car charger - solution?
Out of interest, what's to stop people buying a 12V in-car inverter and using the bundled mains charger? Wouldn't that suffice?
I don't consider the lack of official after-market car charger a show-stopper for me, but I am in the market for a an Android 4.0 tablet with a good screen for a reasonable price, and I'm not exactly blown away by what's on offer so far in 2012. The Samsungs seem plasticky, the Asus Transformer Prime/Infinity either had bugs or are expensive. I know Sony are rumoured to be preparing a successor to the Tablet S, but for me, it might actually fit the bill - for the right price.
By steve_142 on 13 Apr 2012
Conforms to current sony performance - rubbish
At first my tablets s was fine but the recent software updates have renderred this device less than useless. It will not hold a wifi connection for more than a minute or two, a problem my wifes Asus does not suffer on the same connection at the same time. It is now little more than an expensive photo frame. This is the third sony device I have bought this year that performs pitifully. I have now changed all of them and will never buy sony again. My replacement Samsung Tab is a far superior product. If you've got any sense then you'll buy the Samsung or the Asus Transformer. Sony claims there is no issue; they should probably take a look at the internet and search "sony tablet s connectivity problems".

FRIDAY, Jan. 29 (HealthDay News) -- A self-test for vaginosis may enable women to accurately diagnose the condition and results in women seeking professional diagnosis and treatment, according to a study in the February issue of Applied Nursing Research.
To see if women could accurately test themselves for bacterial vaginosis and then go on to seek treatment, Ellis Quinn Youngkin, Ph.D., of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, and Pamela Brinker Lester, of Virginia Commonwealth University-Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, conducted a pilot study of 33 women who were healthy and not pregnant. The women were given education on bacterial vaginosis, a self-test kit and a scoring system.
The women were able to accurately test for bacterial vaginosis and went on to seek confirmation of the diagnosis and receive treatment within 10 days, the researchers found. The home test system was popular with participants, who liked and felt empowered by the idea of being able to help themselves.
"Future research should focus on the use of such a self-test system with pregnant women at risk for preterm birth or early pregnancy loss, the relationship to complications and impacts for women and infants of preterm birth, and the use of the system by women who speak another language," the authors write. "A qualitative evaluative component should be included to assess the self-agency empowerment component."
The 3M Company provided some equipment and medication for the study.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs coach Andy Reid stepped to the podium Wednesday and, as usual, was about to begin his news conference by delivering a quick run-through of the injury report.
Then he stopped himself. He looked at his notes. He shrugged.
We don't really have any injuries, he said. Everybody's going to practice today.
Of course. That's the way things are going for the charmed Chiefs this season.
As teams across the league deal with devastating injuries to some of their best players – quarterback Sam Bradford in St. Louis, wide receiver Reggie Wayne in Indianapolis – unbeaten Kansas City has just about everyone healthy, just as it has most of the season.
Throw in a favorable schedule and a wave of key injuries to opponents, and it seems as if everything is lining up in the most splendid way imaginable for the Chiefs.
This is a rough business. Injuries do take place. I get it. But we've been fortunate, Reid offered by way of an explanation. That's really what it is.
The Chiefs have certainly had times where injuries stacked up. Just a couple of years back, running back Jamaal Charles and safety Eric Berry, both Pro Bowlers, went down with season-ending knee injuries a week apart, sending the team into a downward spiral.
Just about the worst thing to happen to the Chiefs this season has been injuries to a couple rookies who were likely to be backups: tight end Travis Kelce and safety Sanders Commings.
Kelce is done for the year, but even Commings is due to come back from injured reserve soon.
Some of it is chance, Reid said. Sometimes it comes in waves. That's how it works.
It's not just that the Chiefs have been healthy; it's that their opponents have not.
Starting in Week 1, when Jacksonville quarterback Blaine Gabbert was dealing with a thumb injury, Kansas City has met teams in disarray. It was Ryan Fitzpatrick starting at quarterback for an injured Jake Locker in Tennessee, and Case Keenum making his first NFL start in place of Texans QB Matt Schaub in a 17-16 victory last week that ran the Chiefs' record to 7-0.
Not only was Schaub hurt before playing Kansas City, Texans running back Arian Foster went down on the first series of the game with a hamstring injury, and star linebacker Brian Cushing was lost for the season early in the second half with a major knee injury.
The trend of facing backups continues this week, too.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski announced Wednesday that Jason Campbell will make his first start of the season in place of ineffective Brandon Weeden on Sunday. Weeden was already a replacement for Brian Hoyer, who sustained a season-ending knee injury Oct. 3.
You go in every week respecting every opponent, linebacker Derrick Johnson said, but at the same time, we don't really care who plays as long as we execute our defensive scheme.
Injuries to opponents such as Tennessee and Houston have softened the Chiefs' schedule, but it was already soft. The Jaguars are still winless after tying Kansas City for the NFL's worst record last year, and the Giants finally won a game this past week.
Altogether, teams the Chiefs have played this season are a combined 15-33.
I mean, for us the bottom line is to win games, quarterback Alex Smith said. With that is to continue to get better as the season goes on, as the stage gets bigger.

Rare are the days when the wisdom of Fifa is applauded, so count the banishment of Luis Suárez as another triumph for the best World Cup anyone can remember. In a tournament in which the great players, led by Lionel Messi and Neymar, are joyously lighting up the planet, it is appropriate to dispatch Suárez with the ridicule he deserves.
Forced to endure the indignity of being turfed out of the Uruguay team hotel and reportedly heading for a plane to Montevideo last night, Suárez leaves with the memory of his own self-defeating idiocy and a fairly harmless, almost amusing,

text: We—who are we? I was born in 1914 to a large fortune; my wife could not have said the same—we were down in Mexico as a result of an untimely conviction in the state of Louisiana. My wife began drinking quite heavily. She had found herself without her beloved Benzedrine inhalers, endowed with excellent parts, a husband, and two young children, and bored, bored. Inclined by nature to industry, she'd put away a quart of tequila a day, just slugging it down; fond of the 'all day,' you know? Never showed the least respect for the wise and the good.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Corporate Office CommentsAdd a comment about Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines -->
I sailed on the serinade of seas out of New Orleans on March 29-april 5. We had outstanding service and we were told if we rated our waiters etc with a 10 that the crew would receive honor etc. I have never received any survey by e mail and everyone I made friends with received nothing other than advertisements !!! I have sailed with you many times and I feel you treat your crew like cattle. I spent over two hours of my time yesterday trying to correct this. However, all I got was a "I'm sorry" . You owe your crew this satisfaction, you owe your passengers what you promise.!!!!!!!

We were aboard Serenade of the Seas, Jan 25,2014 sailing out of New Orleans for the Bahamas. Before returning to New Orleans the ship experienced mechanical issues which made it 4 hours late to disembark. We along with many others missed our flights home that day. We were all told by the staff on board to send in our receipts for new flights, hotel etc. and it would ALL be reimbursed. Now guest relations are saying they know nothing about what we were told and will only pay $150 each. No mistake, that is exactly what we were told aboard ship.
Dan 2/12/14 6:39PM
Have cruised many times but this was our first with Royal Caribbean. We feel the staff is very unorganized, ship was not the cleanest, and that their first concern is money and not the guests on board!!!!
Sara 1/31/14 1:33PM
I have contacted Royal Caribbean regarding onboard credits. They have refused although at the moment they are offering onboard credits. I will have sailed 4 times by the end of this year and feel that I am entitled to these credits. I booked early for one of them a back to back cruise around Australia and N.Z and the other one is directly to N.Z these are all between October & December this year. I have spoken to your Australian contact and she said you do not give credits only on special cruises advertised. I then commented that should we wait until 3 weeks before the cruise ?? hoping to get the cabin we want, and in fact the cruise we want. I feel Royal Caribbean is very unfair in their policy and Princess Cruises honour their past passengers, either with dicounted fares or onboard credits. I should like to feel that R.C.C. respect their returning passengers. I was going to book another two cruises for next March but now feel a bit disgruntled re the onboard credits and the fact that I should wait until these offers appear. We usually like to book well in advance for these cruises. I await your response on this subject.

When Branden Donley was in college, he set out with his push mower to earn some cash tidying lawns around the neighborhood. His friend Sam Johnson began pitching in, and though the two were just 18 and 19 years old, their success soon made them realize they could turn their small operation into a full-time business.
That was more than 20 years ago. Branden still runs the business, but today, he shares his love of creating beautiful yards with a staff of more than 40 people. The crew is dedicated to manicuring lawns with services that range from mowing grass and pulling weeds to complete landscaping overhauls. Rather than find a compatible bear to hibernate with during winter months, the crew turns its focus from greenery to snow removal, using its fleet of snowplow trucks to clear commercial parking lots, roads, and paths.
Best Irrigation is a full service lawn sprinkler company located in Troy, MI.
Our service area is roughly north through Rochester, south through Royal Oak, west through West Bloomfield, and East to Sterling Heights.
English Gardens began as a single, family-owned nursery in 1954, and has since blossomed into a full-service landscaping and garden center with multiple locations, all owned and operated by second-generation family members. Each location facilitates both indoor and outdoor gardening projects. The florist department brings the outdoor flourish inside by arranging fresh-cut floral bouquets and gift baskets for all manner of occasions. Workshops and in-store presentations also allow the green-thumbed experts to impart advice on common gardening and decorating topics such as building a kitchen herb garden or housetraining a dogwood tree. During the summer season, English Gardens holds a summer planting sale as well as weekly in-store gardening tutorials every Saturday at 10 a.m.

A gloomy Monday kept us inside for virtually the entire day. However, it was still extremely educational and enjoyable. Around noon, those interested explored the interior of the Church on Spilled Blood. The interior was almost completely made up of colorful mosaics of scenes from the New Testament. The exterior was also unique and colorful with the towers featuring multiple onion-shaped green, turquoise, and gold domes.
We walked from there to Square of the Arts outside the main building of the Russian Museum and ate lunch in front of Vladimir Pushkin's most famous statue.
We then headed into another palace – Mikhailov's Palace, which was commemorated by Nikolai II, the last Czar, to his father. Although the palace was similar to the hermitage in the way it too is a giant, impressive building containing unimaginable works of beautiful artistic creations, it differentiates from the hermitage because it specifically contains Russian art. The group made an effort to see as many products as possible and kept an eye out for works painted by Jewish-Russian artist, Marc Chagall. I enjoyed taking in the paintings of scenes from the Old Testament such as Abraham's sacrifice, Abraham's hosting, Hagar's plea, and Moses' Brazen Serpent.
We finished the day with a showing of Prokofiev's ballet -Romeo and Juliet – a performance that I will remember for a long time. The professionalism and the work that was put into the performance was evident to even younger and inexperienced audience members.
On Wednesday, after a late wakeup and feeling slightly depressed about Team U.S.A's defeat in the World Cup the previous night, the group found their way to the Fyodor Dostoevsky Apartment/Museum. Having read Notes from the Underground as well as Crime and Punishment, this experience was certainly a highlight. Our tour/excursion guide was clear and concise as she told over the major events of Russia's most famous author's life as he bounced around from Saint Petersburg and back and married twice.
Many of us continued on the Tikhvin cemetery which contains the graves of Saint Petersburg's most famous musical, scientific, and artistic icons in history. These included Dostoevsky, Lomonosov, and Tschaikovsky.
We also went to see the statue of the poet Maria Akmatova which faces the Neva River as well as the prison directly across the river. We learned that the famed author of The Requiem lost her family to arrests at the beginning of Stalin's reign in the Soviet Union.

Twin Flames
When a soul is created it is actually made up of 2 types of energy. For simplicity, it is both male and female energy. These energies are separated at this time to go through their own individual experiences incarnating to earth.
Twin flames differ from soul mates because a twin flame is truly your other half! A soul mate is more like a spiritual best friend... Someone who has always been with you in your incarnations as either a family member, friend, lover or even an enemy or rival.
Unfortunately, having a true twin flame relationship is very rare. Some people go through many lifetimes before finding their twin flame. But once your twin flame is found, the relationship will be extraordinary!
The whole point of life is to work on your soul. You come to earth to learn and experience. Your twin flame has a major role in this because of the ascension process. When you ascend, you truly are reunited with your other half. The male and female energy become one again. Of course, this happens on a much higher conscious level than where most are at while having an earthly incarnation.
Once you have found your twin flame, the two of you will begin releasing any karma accumulated from any past incarnations. This is done automatically and can make the relationship very difficult if you do not understand and/or know that you are in a twin flame relationship. You may start to lash out or have random emotions about your partner because of this release. Just realize that you feel this way because your soul is bringing forth these old emotions in order for you to acknowledge and release them so that you can truly join with your other half!
If you would like to know if your current relationship is with your twin flame please let us know!

Let's try this again, I think my title in my other thread had people thinking, "man, yet another crushed grain thread". No, this is the RESULTS of the experiment.
I helped my wife set up and run a new lab for her class (Intro. Plant Biology) that primarily was to show the students starch conversion. She used to have them do this complicated (but classic) barley half-seed experiment that looked at the role of hormones, the embryo, and a bunch of other things involved in seed germination/starch degradation. It was a pain, and I usually got roped into making hundreds of petri plates with different additons to the starch containing media. Last year we did a demo of mashing, this year we had the students do the new experiment.
Basically we have the students do a really mini-mash (1 gm in 10 ml of water), and then use iodine to monitor starch conversion. We had them compare 6-row, 2-row, and Vienna malt. We also had some leftover malts (6 & 2-row) from last year, so I thought, hey, what a great chance to check for crushed malt longevity! The malt from last fall was just crushed and then sealed in a ziploc bag and kept at ~ 70 F for one year. The husks cause some problems so this year I double milled the grains and then removed as much of the husks as possible giving me a malt "flour". I then took this malt and ran it through a coffee grinding to make it really fine. The year old malt (and it's husks) was also ground in a similar manner. Therefore the year-old malt will have less endosperm, gram for gram compared to the fresh stuff.
We've been busy so we hadn't worked all of the bugs out ahead of time so we thought we'd have the students help to figure out the best protocols. That wasn't working so well, so I set up some reactions this morning. I did times 0, 10 min, and 20 min. (plus 35 min. for two of them)
As expected 6-row was the fastest. 2-row and Vienna were close behind. And the biggies, both the year old crushed 2 and 6 row were able to convert. The old 6-row was fully converted within 35 min. I suspect if I waited another 10-15 min, the old 2-row would have been fully converted
I think the key was that the crushed malt was stored in air-tight bags. So, as long as crushed grain is stored properly, it can retain a good chunk of it's enzymatic activity.
I post the results again next year. I'll save some of the finely ground malt powder I just made and check it again next fall. Maybe some 2 year old then too. I'll also intentionally store some in a poorly sealed container.
Sweet post. You should submit this to BYO or Zymurgy.
I still wouldn't want to use it, but it's an interesting experiment.
I love the fact that you are warping the little minds towards homebrewing!!!!!
Good experiment.

The Greek parliament is now debating an austerity and privatization program that the troika made up of the EU, ECB, and IMF is demanding in exchange for a second bailout. Outside the Greek parliament in Syntagma Square, the protests will surely continue, as will a two day general strike by public sector trade unions.
In his Man vs. the Welfare State, Henry Hazlitt (an Austrian minded American journalist best known for authoring Economics in One Lesson) described similar dissent that destabilized Uruguay when extravagant government spending there led to a fiscal crisis in the mid-1950′s. Hazlitt then commented:
... it illustrates what is perhaps the most ominous
aspect of the welfare state everywhere. This is that
once a subsidy, pension, or benefit payment is extended
to any group, it is immediately regarded as a
"right." No matter what the crisis facing the budget or
the currency, it becomes "politically impossible" to discontinue
or reduce it.
Alongside Uruguay 1956, Hazlitt would undoubtedly, and rightly, include Greece 2011 to illustrate how the social democratic welfare state grossly inflates moral expectations.

SALEM, Mass. - Lawrence Deputy Police Chief Melix Bonilla and Mayor William Lantigua's former Chief of Staff Leonard Degnan both pleaded not guilty to extortion, conspiracy and other charges at their arraignments this morning.
Both were released with bail warnings and ordered to turn over their passports.
Indictments were handed down yesterday.
Bonilla's charges stem from a deal he brokered to swap 13 city-owned cars for 4 Chevrolets with a campaign donor and friend of Lantigua. A federal report on the incident found the deal cost the city $30,000.
Degnan's charges were based on the procurement of a trash truck from the city's trash hauler Allied Waste which was donated to the Lantigua's hometown of Tenares in the Dominican Republic.
More on this story as it develops.

State police ordnance workers took the device to Concord for analysis, Lt. James Soucy said Saturday.
"They'll evaluate the makeup of the device," Soucy said. "They believe it was a dangerous device. They just don't know to what degree."
