A Day in Rome
... and paint underneath what we see. The last portion painted has only one layer, without even rough sketches below. Next, we saw St. Peter's Basilica, an enormous, ornate church built over the spot where St. Peter was buried. Michelangelo's Pieta was here... Breathtaking, but I think I was more amazed by his David (perhaps because of the size??). We walked around the Basilica, then went down into the crypts to see where the Popes were buried. A very busy morning! After ...

We watched half a movie and then got off in Naples to get the next train to Sorrento. At first we couldn't find any train to Sorrento until we realised we head to go downstairs and get more of a metro train. We found the ticket booth, bought our tickets, and got to the platform with a few minutes to spare. Sorrento here we ...
Unification of Italy Day
I chose the Quirinale to Via Veneto route for my walk today because it's very near Via XX Settembre and I thought on this 20th day of September I should see the street named after Italy's Unification Day. It was as good a reason as any!
Again, I had to first get from my apartment here in Trastevere to a point on the walk; I chose the Piazza del Quirinale. Quirinale is the name of this hill—now home to numerous ...

Just want to know if anyone around these parts has any good advice on beta sources for routes in da sawteeth BESIDES Lopez's book. I am reluctant to name my specific objective because history has taught me that spelling out one's ideas is the best way to unintentionally get a route crowded. I don't want to sound like an arsehole but i'd rather wait until after my climb to meet a bunch of others. Anyway, any advice for sources of beta would be much appreciated. And I am not necessarily just interested in rock - beta around here for the perch seems to be like a bad virus!
Elephants Perch in Ketchum.
summitpost has some beta I didn't see listed elsewhere online. You've probably tried this, but I found info by doing creative combinations of Google searches for what I wanted and contacting people whose resulting sites had info or pics or any other snippet of info.
I will give that a shot... speaking of summitpost, i mean. And also about elephants perch too. Thanks for the Idea(s). I've done google searches before for images and done really well, but I hadn't really considered looking for route beta that way. I guess it should have occurred to me - makes perfect sense.

Here is an article that provides just a little more solidification that there will be a Big Ten CG in 2011.
Jim Delany says he and the AD's around the Big Ten wants to play a 9 game conference schedule, not in 2011 but asap. This should make it possible to conserve the established rivalries while splitting divisions up with balanced power.
Balanced power - I find it interesting that everyone looks at the past 10,20,30 years as a meter to balance the power, yes I admit that especially in the Big Ten, with and without Nebraska, have a good collection of perennial powers and that those will more than likely never go away, maybe a down year or two or a short era (I am eluting to the BC era) but they will eventually bounce back. What about the schools that are not traditional powers? What if Illinois, Northwestern, and Indiana become the next Boise St. or TCU? Do we keep divisions open for realignment in the event there is a powershift that sees one division incredibly stronger than the other ie Big XII to keep the conference balanced? Well for now we should all have come to the realization the division split will be the clear East/West split it is nearly perfect anyway as we speak.
Conference Championship Game - "Real Men Playing Real Football" Jim Delany says he wants to sell the naming rights to the game.......The Papa John's Big Ten Conference Championship or maybe it'll be the Ford who knows we will find out soon enough. In the mean time what is your best name?
Alright the anticipation is building and I can't wait then again I can't wait for this season to start or for 10/16/2010! Let me know what you think!

Chronic Illness Solutions: Helping Patients Return to Good HealthToday, chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease have become so common that most people don't remember what it's like to be in excellent health. And if they're not feeling their best, they can't be their best.
In truth, many chronic health conditions are preventable. They're the result of years of poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and prolonged exposure to stress. And leading health organizations now tell us that by returning to a healthier lifestyle—by getting the right nutrients, becoming active, and learning to manage the stressors in life—many of these conditions can be prevented, managed, or even reversed.
The solution seems so simple, and yet, the incidence of chronic illness is continuing to rise at an alarming rate. At Metagenics, they're aiming to change all that.
Addressing Chronic Illness with Therapeutic Lifestyle ChangesMetagenics' groundbreaking therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) programs have helped tens of thousands of chronic illness sufferers all over the world regain their health—so they can once again enjoy their lives to the fullest. Not quick, short term fixes, these programs work because they're focused on helping people develop healthy, life-long habits that they can easily incorporate into their busy schedules. Metagenics' TLC programs are available only from specially trained licensed health care professionals—the people qualified to recommend and tailor a regimen that's unique to each individual's needs.
Patient Success Depends on Provider SuccessLet's face it. Most doctors' offices have neither the time nor the expertise to provide the individualized lifestyle counseling that's necessary to effect real change. In designing Metagenics' TLC program, Metagenics asked health care providers to tell them what it would take to implement TLC successfully in their practice. The answer was teamwork—getting support staff involved, enlisting practice extenders and ensuring smooth office flow. Today, providers who implement Metagenics' TLC programs overwhelmingly report that they're busier and more successful than ever in helping patients achieve their desired health outcomes.
Addressing the Root Cause of Illness through Science-Based NutritionBack in 1983, Metagenics had a big idea: the right nutrition could help people realize their best health possible by positively influencing what makes them unique—their genes. Metagenics called it realizing "genetic potential" for good health. Today, it's known as the science of nutrigenomics—the study of food as one of the most important environmental modifiers of gene expression in determining health and disease patterns. Through Metagenics' substantial and ongoing commitment to nutrigenomic research, they've been able to identify natural compounds with powerful therapeutic applications, to be used in their science-based TLC programs, medical foods, and nutraceuticals.
Setting the Standard in Research, Quality & Innovation Knowing that professionals rely on Metagenics to make people feel better isn't something they take lightly. It's the reason Metagenics leads the industry in research, professional education, and quality manufacturing.
But they're also brave enough to search for the next big thing to make an even greater impact on health. The result? An impressive list of patented formulas and ingredients, and a revolutionary product development process to help make natural approaches even safer and more effective.
Whether you're a patient or a health care provider, be your best with Metagenics.

My family, it appears, are a 'bunch of ugly, sad losers'. My wife is so 'desperate' to leave me that she will '**** the next man she has a drink with'. My beautiful children are, variously, 'pathetic... spoilt... probably adopted' because I am 'unable to get it up... a waste of space... a miserable, untalented tosser'. Worst of all though, my kitchen is 'hideous'. So this is what being trolled feels like... The other week I wrote what I felt was a thought-provoking, if slightly tongue-in-cheek, confessional about my enforced 12-month sabbatical as a stay-at-home dad trying to set up a new business after sudden redundancy.
There has long been the opinion of men naturally being scared and or wanting to run away once a woman has told them they are expecting. Personally I am not sure where this has come from and I can only guess it's from the soaps and the trashy magazines. In my experience I was over the moon and from speaking to my followers on Twitter so were they.
You might feel that no-one at work quite understands how you are feeling. Men need to off-load too. Some find it difficult to ask for help, especially with emotional issues, but please do, find someone you feel comfortable with (a friend, a relative or a professional) and let go, it will be a great relief.
I've somehow managed to avoid writing about Frozen up until now. This is incredible considering how much of my life it seems to have taken up recently. Now of course Frozen has a moral message about the importance of family and love and blah blah blah. I'm not too interested by that part of it. So instead here are the really important messages I want my girls to take away from Frozen.
Attachment parenting doesn't acknowledge capitalism or patriarchy as deities the way mainstream parenting does. Attachment parenting (the practices involved in) supports a woman's right to understand how her body works, how powerful she is in the life of her child and in wider society and how awesome her biology is.
Sleep deprivation is a key cause of Toddler's Back, when you have kids you just don't get to rest like you used to - fact. Our daughter is no fan of sleeping, and despite being a perfect little angel (well almost) during daylight hours, she turns into something of a diva at night. It was during a particularly difficult night time shift this week, when my Toddler's Back really struck.
That night, I spend some time thinking about what we tell our children, about Heaven and God, about what happens when we die - and although I don't believe in any of it, I tell myself that, right now, it's ok for him to believe. After all, as a five-year-old, there are plenty of things that he believes in that I know aren't true.

Youth in the community will have an opportunity to learn how to swim, thanks to the Parks and Recreation Department Scholarship program.
"The scholarship program addresses what I believe is a real need in our community," said Parks and Facilities Director George Bryant. "The program is an opportunity for members of the community to contribute to our youth who may not otherwise have the financial means to participate."
The scholarship program was approved Tuesday by the City Council and a donation from the family of the late Bill Elzy.
"A memorial fund has been established for the scholarship," Bryant said. "I received a letter from the Elzy family, and their request fit in perfectly with the program we have been planning to kick off."
Bryant received a letter from Ken Elzy, Bill Elzy's nephew, requesting to start the memorial fund with seed money in hopes the program would grow.
"My uncle, Bill Elzy, loved being outdoors and walking, looking at the flowers and the trees, loved to fish," the letter stated. "But most important, he loved watching kids play. He always said he loved the freedom of childhood. He taught me to play ball; in his younger days he kept a ball and glove in his car — it was nothing for him to play catch with a group of kids on the ball fields.
"I set up the memorial fund to the park because he loved it there," the letter continues. "He always talked about the new items you have, the flower gardens, benches. You and your staff have done an amazing job. That park (Veterans Park) was an abandoned rust bucket. Now, it's something this town can be proud of again. There's not a day goes by that there aren't kids playing, people walking and couples sitting on the benches and swings talking.
"I wanted you to know that your hard work and dedication has not gone unnoticed. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future."
Bryant said the letter and donation has touched many people already.
"What he's saying is the heart of what we're here working for," Bryant said.
Under terms of the scholarship program, the scholarship is based on need and availability of funds and will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.
"Need must be shown to be considered for a scholarship," information states. "Documentation of eligibility is also required at the time the scholarship application is submitted. The scholarship request application, along with the additional documentation of eligibility, will need to be submitted to the Mt. Vernon Parks and Recreation Department at least one week before the registration deadline of the program, or at least two weeks prior to the program start, whichever is earlier."
Bryant said there is also a provision that the scholarship doesn't cover the entire cost of the program in order to help foster a sense of ownership and pride. The minimum fee required with a scholarship is $5.
"The Mt. Vernon Parks and Recreation Department believes a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed when the scholarship recipient contributes to the cost of their program involvement," the information states. "Therefore, applicants will be required to pay a minimum fee for each program or class. Scholarship recipients must participate in the program for which the scholarship was granted. Scholarship money cannot be transferred or refunded. Scholarship money does not cover equipment or material expenses. An approved scholarship request application does not guarantee registration in the program. Program applicants must follow the normal registration process."
Bryant said even if someone pays $5 for the ability to participate in the swimming program, with a scholarship, it means something.
"I am a strong believer in having a strong sense of ownership in whatever you are doing," Bryant said. "I think that's what will make the program successful."
Under the eligibility requirements for the program, applicants must reside in the city; the household income must be below the current year U.S. Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines for the number of family members in the household; the maximum funding is $100 per individual per year; the funding will only cover instructional programs run directly through the parks department; and youth must be 17 years old or younger. A current driver's license, utility bill, apartment lease or tax bill may verify residency and proof of income eligibility such as a reduced school lunch meal letter, a public housing certification, proof of income such as a pay stub or tax return, state medical card or parent's unemployment check or approval letter.
Additional information about the scholarship program, as well as application requests are available at the Mt. Vernon Parks and Recreation Office located at the Rolland W. Lewis Community Center at Veterans Park.

Title: Fathering at Risk
Author: James R. Dudley, Glenn Stone
Publisher: Prometheus Books
Examines serious issues about fathering that often go unnoticed
Not clear that a crisis in fathering actually exists
Analysis of problems with fathering and fathers in modern society
Focuses on absent fathers: divorced, teen, unmarried
Explains how fathers can be helped to improve
Book Review
As difficult and complicated as fathering might be, matters are far worse when it comes to nonresidential fathers those fathers who are divorced, unmarried, and/or teens. Whatever fathering entails, it surely requires that one actually be there in the daily life of a child. So how can anyone accomplish even adequate fathering when they arent around?
This is the subject of Fathering at Risk, by James R. Dudley and Glenn Stone. More than just a book about social issues, this is also a text designed to teach students how to deal with those issues, help men become better fathers, and hopefully improve the social situation of fatherhood in general.
As the title indicates, its the premise of the authors that fathering is at risk, both generally on the social level and specifically on many individual levels, and thats what prompted them to write this book in the first place. Im not entirely convinced, though, that fathering is as at risk as the authors suggest, though there is certainly plenty of evidence of problems in American society.
The authors make a great deal out of the differences in the number of at-home fathers between today and 1960, but thats an awfully short span of time for a solid comparison. Is it really implausible that societies in the past have had similarly high numbers of absent fathers due to, for example, wars or jobs located a long distance away? I dont honestly know but its worth considering. Just because families had a certain pattern in 1960 doesnt mean that that should serve as a model which we must take as definitive even if, for various reasons, it has many strong points.
Even if there's no crisis, though, fathers are still important for childhood development, and its difficult for any man to succeed in being a father when they arent there on a regular basis. Because there are increasing numbers of fathers who are absent for whatever reason, its important to come up with ways for nonresident fathers to overcome the obstacles before them.
This is what the book focuses on, explaining what sorts of obstacles exist, why they cause problems for children, and how social workers, psychologists, politicians, and others can help such fathers do a better job. Because this is a text designed for classroom situations, the authors provide questions for readers to reflect upon, numerous references for further research, questions for group discussion, and more. Hopefully this text will become a resource for people interested in furthering the needs of children and parental bonds.

A West River "Walkabout" Breakthrough
by Allan Appel | April 3, 2006 11:03 AM | Permalink
Sixty walkers set out from the sundial in Edgewood Park to see — and connect with — New Haven in a fresh way.
"We're nursing a new concept," Nathan Bixby, a thoughtful man in his 30s, and one of the founders of the New Haven Bioregional Committee, said as the walkers gathered Saturday. "That concept is what we call 'breakthrough economy.' It means we reach a point where a shift occurs such that the human and natural systems finally complement each other.
"And the most exciting thing," he went on, "is that New Haven is poised so that this breakthrough is beginning to occur right here in our city."
"Whoa! Right here, and right now? But why and how New Haven?"
Before Bixby could answer, he moved off to huddle up with fellow environmental activists who were arriving for the New Haven Bioregional Committee's "walkabout," that was just beginning to assemble in Edgewood Park, their third since the organization was founded last fall. Your reporter vowed to catch up with him.
However, the shift Bixby referred to – or certainly the excitement about it – seemed to be starting already, on Saturday morning, if the 60 people assembling around the sundial in the park were a measure.
The "walkabout" we were about to begin would take us from the park, across Chapel Street, around the tennis courts, and following the brown meandering path of the West River down through the tall grass, then through a nasty landfill and emerging, finally, at New Haven Harbor at City Point.
"The idea," said Siobhan Merrill, another of the committee's founders, "is that people, regular people from all walks of life can get out to walk about their city; to know that their city is part of a planet, which is a living place. I thought that to go from here, a relatively civilized municipal park, down through some gritty sections of landfill, and then to the water's edge will give us a much better idea of how all the parts are connected so that we can think more clearly about urban planning, and a sustainable future."
"'Connected' is the key word," said Fred Cervin (at left in photo, beside Merrill), the third founder of the committee. (The fourth founder, Roger Uhlein, was busy laying out the precise route of the walkabout with Dave Reher of the West River Watershed Association.) "You see, the aim of the committee was to bring together people and groups in New Haven who care about a whole variety of issues – land use, ecology, the people involved in putting up new buildings, even important new buildings like Yale's new cancer center have a major impact on the natural setting – and bringing them together, not at a table but in a kind of communal walking together through the living system we share."
New Haven has, by the organizers' estimate, some 30 to 50 environmentally focused groups. That's a lot for a city New Haven's size. It's explicable due to the large number of undergraduates studying the subject, and, of course, the world famous Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
But that's not the only reason.
"This work," added Cervin, "also appeals to people who have a sense of urgency, who are in a way anarchists, and some of it does go back to the 1960s. Which is to say they feel the need to do things on their own."
"In fact," Cervin went on, "one of the key elements in the idea of a 'bioregion,' which is a concept created and promoted by Peter Berg, an activist (for more on the bioregion idea, see his site: planetdrum.org) whom the committee brought to New Haven last October, is this: People, and not the experts, should take responsibility for the place they live in – hence the walkabouts – to discover where they live and see its life and its interconnections."
The idea is clearly catching on. After the kick-off with Berg, the committee was inspired to implement his idea of bringing people to New Haven's bioregion with the walkabouts. Twelve people attended the first walkabout, which focused on the Mill River watershed area. Some 20 participated in the second, which explored the area of Beaver Pond.
Yet how could they explain three maybe four times that many who were now crossing the road, descending to the river in a merry green parade, enjoying the sun emerging from the morning's rain clouds? It was more than the reflection of a bunch of good listserves.
I asked a young woman named Tamara Shantz what brought her. "I'm a master's degree student," she answered, "at the Yale Divinity School. And what I'm really interested in is the intersection of the environment and faith. I've got an internship this year in the Inter-religious Environmental Justice Network based up in Hartford. We work with faith communities so they take seriously the idea of purchasing clean energy for their churches." She felt she had the theological part covered, but wanted to know more about the land and the ecology.
Walking beside her was Rosie Kerr, a graduate student from one of Yale's other schools, Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES). As she walked, her eyes were up in the trees pointing out a dozen or so green parakeets up in the pines.
Why were they chattering so? she asked the dozen students who clustered around her.
The kids were participants in the Yale New Haven Saturday Seminars, a program of 26 Saturday outings, all on environmental themes, taught by a team of F&ES students and New Haven public school teachers. These students were all here voluntarily, and they were focused on those birds.
While many of the walkabout's environmental activists and graduate students of course knew each other, there were, said the organizers, dozens of new faces, which brings us back to Nathan Bixby and, according to him, the breakthrough moment occurring in New Haven.
I caught up to him as the West River curved through the tall brown grass – was it phragmites– behind the tennis courts.
"The umbrella groups are really coming together," Bixby (pictured) said, mentioning, in addition to the New Haven Bioregional Committee, the New Haven Environmental Coalition, the Urban Resources Initiative (which operates out of F&SE) and the New Haven Ecology Project, which operates the city's "green" charter high school, Common Ground. While these and all the others were not brought together under one roof until 2004, Bixby feels a critical mass is being reached for citywide environmental breakthroughs.
Bixby pointed to the success of the bike paths, to the fact that New Haven was the first city in the state to commit itself to use of 20 percent renewable resources by 2010, to the program of municipal free downtown parking for hybrid vehicles, and many other achievements.

News: Notorious B.I.G. & Jay-Z Engaged In Friendly Battle, Says Lil Kim
Monday, Mar 12, 2012 11:30AM
Grammy award-winning raptress, Lil Kim, recently reflected on the late Notorious B.I.G.'s legacy and revealed just how competitive Big Poppa became around platinum-selling rap mogul, Jay-Z.
Although they frequently went bar for bar with one another, Kim assured that Big and Jay were merely engaged in friendly lyrical competition.
On "RapFix Live," Lil' Kim spoke on the Notorious One's relationship with Jigga. "He and Jay-Z just had this adorable friendship -- it was the cutest," she said. "They were so competitive with each other, but it was such a friendly competitiveness, and I loved it, because that's how it's supposed to be when you like somebody." (RapFix)
Back in 2010, Young Hov credited B.I.G.'s emcee talents and expressed how the late artist was one of his all-time favorite rappers.
"I guess I would choose B.I.G. [as one of my favorites] because of his ability to tell stories to be humorous, to be dead serious, he just had it all," Jay said. "Just [B.I.G.'s] voice alone. I would choose Pac because his fire will overcome, what he doesn't have in technical skills will be overcome by passion. If you listen to that 'Tunnel' [freestyle] verse where B.I.G. is saying 'MC Hammer and them 357 women' and then you hear how [Pac] comes on, he just screams on the track, his passion could put a lot of guys to sleep. I guess Kool G Rap and KRS-One would be on there. I need more emcees. Y'all got Eminem and Nas..." (YouTube)
Along with rapping together, Jay and B.I.G. reportedly attended the same school growing up.
After that he attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School in Downtown Brooklyn, with fellow future rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes, and Trenton Central High School in Trenton, New Jersey, but did not graduate. (Wikipedia)
In a past interview, Jay-Z outlined his case as to why he should be considered as the "Greatest Rapper Alive."
"But when I say I'm the best, I don't say that outta my a**," Jay said in the interview. "I say that with all my stats behind me. I put that against anybody. I mean anybody. I really believe that...I believe in a lot of things. I believe that "SportsCenter" is the best thing on TV. I shouldn't have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I'm talking about real run. I'm not talking about years off. I'm talking about straight--boom, boom, boom--back to back. We're not talking about heritage acts either. We're not talking about respect what I've done. I'm talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year." (XXL Magazine)

The History of Pandora Beads
Pandora jewelry and beads originate in Scandinavia and was launched back in 2002. Already 2003 Pandora Jewelry reached the United States and people loved it. The designers at Pandora Company are located in Copenhagen, Denmark where they create original designs of sterling silver and 14 karat gold.
Each Pandora bracelet is customizable by a selection of beads, making each bracelet different and unique. There are more than 600 charms to choose from and matching jewelry. The Pandora beads are based on stories from the Greek mythology. Each one is unique and hand-crafted and when they are put together they can really make a spectacular piece of jewelry.
Watch the History of Pandora's Box
In the Greek mythology, Zeus wanted revenge on the god Prometheus. He then proceeded to steal the fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. Zeus then ordered Hephaestus to create Pandora, the first woman. He forced all the other gods to spoil her to entice the humans. Then Athena gave Pandora clothes. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) gave her beauty and Charites (goddess of charm) gave her a necklace that was created by Hephaestus.
After that Zeus gave her the famous box that was named Pandora's Box. He sent her to earth with the words that she was not allowed to open the box. Since Pandora was given curiosity she couldn't keep her promise and she opened the box. The evil was released from the box and all that was left in the box was hope.
This hope is used by Pandora Company to give the wearer of Pandora beads hope and future. Each bracelet is a unique door into the wearer's history and fantasy.

It's Autumn. We finally made it. We can officially start updating our wardrobes. It was a long road, but we got there. Give yourself a pat on the back, if you can feel it through the woolly mittens and thick coat that you're wearing (and if by some miracle it's sunny and warm at time of publication and we have an Indian Summer without actually indulging in the preliminary Summer, feel free to write me an angry letter).
As it gets even cloudier and duller, the colours we wear can often reflect that. The day is darker and so are we. Is that true this year? Well, yes and no.
The vast majority of people tend not to be into zingy, bright colours. It offends our sensibilities, which have been fine-tuned by a comfort blanket of low-lying cloud and a particularly Irish notion that anyone who stands out is a noxious breed of showoff. 'Getting above yourself' is the worst insult to be heaped on an Irish person, unless you're a banker or a priest.
But this season we'll be pairing our brights with autumnal hues. The bubblegum pink belt can go with the essential burgundy dress, toning it down – hiding your brights under a bushel.
A possible exception to the bright rule is orange. Maybe it's the patriotic element, maybe it's just because it's autumnal and shops tend to get lazy like that, but it's everywhere. Do not be enthralled by it. Sure, it looks nice on the tanned model.
Everything looks nice on the tanned model. In reality, orange is a horrifying minefield, so tread carefully. It's not for nothing that it's the official colour of Hallowe'en.
Come September, berry colours are ubiquitous. Grape, burgundy (which is made from grapes, so is a berry colour by technical default) and navy blue(berry) will all have their moments, and deservedly so. These colours are almost universally flattering and almost reassuring in their ability to resurface every autumn without fail, so investing in a berry shade is unusually sound.
These colours are given a new depth and multi-hued dimension when worn as part of rich, textured fabrics like velvet and satin and even (gulp) fur. It might sound a bit like a Dynasty Christmas Special, but look to the Gucci catwalk for inspiration – it's more more Studio 54-era Anjelica Huston than Alexis Carrington.
Neutrals are just as big as they're ever been, black and grey remaining staid as camel slips a nanometre by the wayside and navy blue slips into a surprising lead. If you bought a camel coat last year, keep it. It still looks good, just be a bit more creative with how you accessorise it – attach a new collar or cuffs or be creative with your scarves.
The likelihood is that most of us will be gravitating towards darker colours this winter, as we do every winter. It's not necessarily a symptom of an underlying international malaise. The vast majority of people wear these shades because they are easy to keep clean. That's the anticlimactic, boring truth. Still, we'll always have nail varnish. Bubblegum pink, anyone?

I allmost lost it when the Bulls let another one slip in the 4th quarter at the United Center in what was an 11 point lead in the third. In the last quarter the Bulls were outcored 35 to 17, almost double the points. In the end, the Bulls lost 108 to 101. How does this keep on happening? Unlike you guys who read this, I can't tell what Boylan is doing wrong, can someone explain it to me?
I was not impressed by Thabo Sefolosha. He was out there 7:18 but he did not even attempt a shot. He didnt get any rebounds or any assists. Good for Noah, who had a solid 16 points on the night. I allways like his effort. Good for Kirk to get his 10 Assists as well.
Wow, this one is another one that is going to bug me for a long time, just like the Washington game. I was thinking about booing the Bulls, I could hear the boos comming from the united center. I think I can finaly give up my hopes for them getting into the Playoffs. Unless they can get a 6 game win streak. They might as well give up now. Just don't fraft ROy Hibbert OK? I will be sure to root for Orlando and the futre all-star Hedo Turkolu in the Playoffs.

On a cold and blustery 2nd day of Spring, the Prep Crew team christened its newest shell, Pedro Arrupe, S.J., with a blessing from Fr. Paul Holland, S.J. The new 8 man boat is the third to carry a notable Jesuit's name onto the water; two other 8's name Segundo Montes, S.J., and Joseph O'Callahan, S.J. share the role of carrying the men of Prep down the race course. Montes, a Jesuit priest killed by the military junta in El Salvador in 1989 and O'Callahan, the first and only Jesuit to receive the medal of honor for actions in World War II, serve to remind the athletes of their foundation in the ideals of living and rowing as Men for Others.
In his blessing, Fr. Holland urged the rowers to remember their new 8's namesake and "Let our student athletes on the water and on the land, always set a good example, as urged by Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., the patron of this boat, that they be men for and with others…"
The team is getting ready for its first race of the season on April 7 in Philadelphia. Come support the team on April 25 as they race Xavier High School on the home course in Shelton for the 9th Annual Founder's Cup. See the Prep website for details.

For the third year in a row, Cleveland Avenue at Morse Road is the top high-crash intersection in Central Ohio.
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) released its list of the top 40 high-crash intersections for 2009-2011.
According to the full list from MORPC, in 2009, Cleveland Avenue and Morse Road had 104 crashes. A project was implemented, and after phase 2 of the project was completed in 2010, the number of crashes reduced to 62 in 2010, and 67 in 2011.
MORPC noted that as part of the project, crews added turn lanes, and signal rephrasing. According to MORPC, the city will continue to monitor to intersection for improvement.
The top 10 intersections are:
The intersections are ranked based on a formula that considers number of crashes, traffic volume and severity.
"Even though Central Ohio is growing, crashes continue to decline year by year, both in the region and among the top 40 high crash intersections. However, we still see too many people die and get injured in crashes with motor vehicles. Pedestrians and bicyclists are especially vulnerable when hit by a car," states Robert Lawler, MORPC Transportation Director. "It is important that we continue to improve our roads and practice safer driving behavior."

How to build a lovilee vertical herb garden
If you're living in an apartment with no garden (or even a small section of garden), then this little DIY job is just for you. It's also perfect if you have cats who like to rummage in the garden. Autumn is also the best time to plant, so now is the time to start planning your little garden!
What you will need:
- Hanging pocket shoe organiser (available from Dischem/Clicks/Woolies)
- Pole and attachments (curtain pole from Builders Warehouse will work)
- Strong metal hanging hooks
- Compost of a good quality moisture holding type
- Selection of plants or seeds… e.g. mixed leaf salad, herbs, sorrel, peas, mini tomatoes
- Pieces of wood as long as the width of the pocket store to keep the base of pockets away from the wall.
- Trough planter to catch drips
We have provided the steps below, but suggest that you visit instructables.com for step-by-step pictures and instructions.
Step 1:
Attached a strong pole with metal fittings to where you want to hang your garden. Check the height, because the especially if you want to plant and grow plants in the trough below.
Step 2:
Use strong hooks or to attach the shoe organiser. It needs to be strong enough to support the weight of the compost, plants and water.
Step 3:
Test the drainage by pouring water into the pockets. If they don't drain then make a few small holes in each of the pockets. Drainage is very important for the trough below too!
Step 4:
Add a good moisture retaining compost to the pockets (not too full because you dont want water to pour over the rim)
Step 5:
Sow seeds or add seedlings such as thyme, chives, spinach, tomatoes.
Step 6:
Use a piece of wood to make sure the excess water drips into the trough below.
And voila! You have yourself a vertical garden!

News: Rick Ross Gets All Booked Up, Joins Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole & More W/ New Deal
Saturday, Aug 31, 2013 10:45PM
Maybach Music Group head Rick Ross has reportedly joined forces with ICM Partners, home to music superstars like Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, J. Cole and more.
According to reports, Ricky Rozay will now depend on the high-profile booking agency to handle his live concerts.
-- Rapper Rick Ross signs with ICM Partners for representation in all areas. Ross' responsible agents for concerts at ICM are Zach Iser and Caroline Yim. His previous live bookings were handled in-house. ICM also represents a wide range of acts, including Beyonce, Muse, the Strokes, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Big Sean, Alice in Chains and Cage the Elephant, among others. (Billboard)
Since launching Maybach Music Group four years ago, Ross has especially kept busy over the last few months.
In 2009 Ross launched the record label imprint Maybach Music Group, whose roster includes Meek Mill and Wale. This year Ross made guest appearances on, among others, Jay Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail, Wale's The Gifted and Ciara's self-titled album, in advance of his sixth studio album, Mastermind, to be released later this year. (The Hollywood Reporter)
Outside of the new booking situation, Ricky Rozay appeared at a Reebok Classic event earlier in the month.
Earlier this week Reebok Classic flocked to Las Vegas' Rain Nightclub for an after party following the Project Trade Show. FRENCH MONTANA took to the stage after rapper, TRAVIS SCOTT opened accompanied by SWIZZ BEATZ. RICK ROSS followed to perform the club banger, "Pop That," with MONTANA and went on to spit several of his verses from his latest collabs like, JAY-Z's "F***WithMeYouKnowIGotIt," and "Stay Schemin'."YMCB rapper, TYGA also hit the stage to perform his hits "Faded," and "Rack City." R&B crooner CHRIS BROWN closed out the show as he performed his new single featuring SEAN KINGSTON, "Beat it." (Juicy Mag Online)
Despite reportedly losing up to $5 million from Reebok ditching him, Ross recently said he still rocks with the sneaker company and believes they can have another business arrangement in the future.
"Well, you know, as far as me, man, I just still love wearing Reebok," Ross revealed in an interview. "That's just always been a vibe of mine and I'm still rocking with Reeboks. I feel like when the time presents itself, if it is meant to be, we're going to make that announcement. The streets know and eveybody knows what the deal is. But other than that, I'm rocking Reeboks -- I'm just doing my thing." ("Los Angeles Leakers")

Over at Beijing Daze, there is a small amount of doubt lingering over MIDI Festival 2011. Certainly we've heard a couple of reports that the sensitive spring that we are having might be putting spanners in the various MIDI works (and those of Strawberry too, truth be told). Of course, there were issues with nationalistic Japanese flag burning last October, something that the NY Times somewhat sensationally covered. We predicted this coverage might have repercussions, literally
Music Festivals in China are in no way a fait accompli – just because the government has been involved increasingly in the last couple of years, a single missive from the centre could put paid to festivals entirely. The first page of the article basically highlights every single anti authoritarian element of Midi in particular and seems to be excessively sensationalist. It strikes us that coverage like this might be a double edged sword for China's festival industry.
In these Jazzy Mine times, perhaps the risks of backfire are just too great.
Fingers and toes crossed that the authorities don't mess with the Beijing festivals again. Cancellations play havoc with the reputation of Chinese festivals both domestically and internationally.

County Voters Support Free Market Approach to Government
Harrisburg (PA) -- Allegheny County voters who last year adopted a
new Home Rule Charter by the slimmest of margins are now optimistic

more effective than the traditional three-commissioner system it is

percent of Allegheny County voters favor the abolishment of the

percent think county row offices should be combined into one office, 41% say

A few samples of some of my popular images:
The Old Man and the Sea
I must point out that I originally wanted to call this "The Man and the Sea" but that did not quite have the flare or familiarity as throwing "old" into there too….Sorry dad :)!
Top of the World
There is a local spot referred to as "Top of the World" in Laguna Beach, CA. This spot has fantastic views of the Laguna Beach coastline and skyline, as well as the valley behind Laguna Beach. After a rain here recently, I knew there would be some great cloud action going on so I jumped in "Em" and jetted down to, er, up to TOTW.
Beautiful LB sky and sunset. Very cool trail that gives great views of the surrounding area.
Another view of the amazing colors in the sky.
A little earlier, just as beautiful. You can see someone off in the distance enjoying the view.
A couple enjoying the outdoors and fantastic surroundings with tons of wild flowers paving the way.
The Relic
On a recent trip back home where the primary business of the area is agriculture, I came across this old piece of "machinery". This thing has not moved in decades. It is a reminder of how things used to be, where we come from and how far we have come. I am not totally sure what it was used for on the farm, but whatever it was, it has been obsolete for a long time. The owners must have thought it was either cheaper or less of a headache to just let it retire where it stood to become a relic as opposed to trashing it.
When I shot this, I wasn't exactly sure what it was that I liked about it. But tonight, months later, I think I understand.
When I look at this, it is a reminder that life has not always been, and does not have to be, so fast – I feel grounded. You see, I am very into technology and gadgets: smart phones, cameras, cars, computers, social media, computer programs, etc. This is something that can really bite me if I am not careful. Technology never slows down and only speeds up. Before I know it, I can be spinning my wheels pretty fast to keep up with everything I am "in" to. It is times like these above that I remember to take a break, take a breath and remember to just be still and be. Life changes, that is one certainty, I don't want to forget to enjoy the journey along the way.
I edited this photo to have an older, film look.

Before & After
I recently took a business trip to Calgary, AB Canada and, of course, took my camera. I still plan on posting a few more pics from the trip, but in the meantime, I had to share this Before & After image. The image below was captured at approximately 7:30pm in a rural park. It was very dark outside, but I had a fast lens (F1.4) on my camera and knew I would be able to extract some light; not to mention I shoot in the RAW format and this allows me to drastically adjust exposure to my own liking.
The park was so quiet, calm, and even serene. Being born and raised in the desert in Southern California only added to the spectacle I was experiencing. I snapped the shot below and knew I had a decent image, but I knew I would have to wait until I got it onto the computer to really see what I got. I was able to extract so much light, that the 'After' picture looks like it was taken mid day with the sun out! Also, the processing I did gave the image a slight "painting" feel as a result which I think really added to the final result, kinda surreal.
In any case, I think the latter picture really 'feels' like December and I wanted to share!
Adventures in Colorado
My day job recently took me to Colorado. During the down times in between appointments, I was able to take advantage of the beautiful surroundings I was in to snap some photos. Colorado is a beautiful state with amazing mountain peaks and rolling hills. I made it briefly into Wyoming for a few hours and was also impressed by the natural beauty. While in CO, I was able to travel around a majority of the state, which is why this post has some very differing photos – but that is also one of the reasons I like this group of photos quite a bit. The air was so crisp and fresh and I feel like I can take in a deep breath of the same when looking back at these photos. Enjoy the natural beauty!

3.83/5 rDev +1.1%
Had a couple of pints of the ESB at lunch today for $4 per pint.
Beer was served amber-orange with a nice white lacing that hung aound a while.
Nose was hints of apple and malt.
Taste had a nice malt backbone that was balanced out by apple and citrus hops.
Moufhfeel was llight to medium bodied and nicely carbonated. Very refreshing!
Overall this was a very nice brew, a good representation of the style. Tasted very good after a morning doing a hike and the tourist thing in town. Give it a shot if you are in the brewpub.

I had this on tap at the brew pub in Flagstaff, AZ.
A: clear medium amber, with a fairly good off-white head. Excellent lacing.
The aroma was rather faint and fruity, with a light hop note.
Taste: stronger than ther aroma suggests, with plenty of light, medium and caramel malts. Nice balancing and lightly spicy hop component. A bit maltier and less bitter than average for style. Recommended.

3.6/5 rDev -5%
A - Pours with half a finger of off white foam on a golden-amber body with brilliant clarity. The head settles quickly and leaves little lace.
S - a spicy hop aroma with some caramel malt.
T - caramel and toffee malt up front. Some spicy hops in the middle. Finishes with dry toast, red apple and moderate bitterness.
M - medium body, moderate carbonation, and a dry finish.
D - a reasonably well done example is the style. The malt character lacks the depth of the bready bitters, but it gets the job done.

3.83/5 rDev +1.1%
Appearance: Nice copper brown appearance. Kinda flat and no foam to speak of. Lacing is good.
Smell: Strong pine hops with caramel. Good, but not particularly original.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Nice almost coffee-like bitterness. A bit fruity in the background with some lingering sweetness. Mouthfeel is a bit rough, but works with this.
Drinkability: Good session.
Overall: See drinkability.

4.03/5 rDev +6.3%
Appearance: clear amber with a thick 2" head lasts a while. Nice lacing develops.
Smell: mild bitterness and some soft fruitiness comes through.
Taste: caramel, ripe plums, pears, and apples. Bitterness is mild but nicely balancing.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied. Crisp to start, less so at the end. Some light dryness arrives late. Aftertaste is fruity and short-lived.
Drinkability: clearly a serious session ale that has a nice flavor and is easy to quaff. Nice beer.

3.63/5 rDev -4.2%
I had this on tap at the brew pub in Flagstaff, AZ. It had a deep red/golden color and was cloudy. It had a foamy and long lasting white head. The smell was mainly of fruits - pears or apples or something...and some hops. The front part of the taste was fruity, but then that was masked by the strong and bitter hops and a bit of alcohol taste and aftertaste.

4/5 rDev +5.5%
Had a couple of pints on draft at the pub tonight. Pours a pretty copper-amber color topped by a small, creamy white head. Not a whole lot of aroma initially, as it's served pretty cold. As it warms, light English malt and some nice floral Chinook hops. Palate is well-balanced between the malt and the assertive hops, but the hops become much more pronounced on the finish. A mellow - yet decidedly bitter - finish is very nice. Not a strict conformity to the style, but a damn good beer nonetheless.

4.1/5 rDev +8.2%
Medium brown color. Small head. Aroma is malts with a hint of orange. Very nice effect. A medium bodied ESB. Malts are nutty with hint of orange peel. Hops are citrusy and spicy. A well balanced ESB, toward the bitter hoppy side. Hoppy and spicy and very smooth. Aftertaste is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter

Inside the museum see Native American artifacts, gold mining implements and the wheel of the Venita, the Tour Boat that operated on Mono Lake in the 1930s.
History of the Upside-Down House
The Upside-Down House was created by Nellie Bly O'Bryan (1893–1984), visionary, entrepreneur, and long time resident of the Mono Basin. Originally located along US-395 north of the Tioga Lodge, it was inspired by two children's stories—"Upside Down Land" and "The Upsidedownians." Upon her death in 1984, the Upside-Down House fell into disrepair until it was rescued and moved to its current site in October 2000. The house became Mono County's first "man-made" tourist attraction in 1956.
In 2009, Huell Howser's California Gold television series shown on PBS channels featured the Upside-Down House in a show titled "Places I've Wanted to Go." Watch a 2 minute edited version at Huell Howser visit to Upside Down House on YouTube Visit www.calgold.com to order a dvd.

Georgetown Moves Up to #10 in Coaches Poll, #9 in AP Poll
Moved up two spots in the Coaches and one spot in the AP Polls. Coaches have Murray State ahead of Georgetown. I hope the players ignore all of this and come out strong against Pitt. Georgetown really needs to find its team offense.

On a big corner site by the fringes of the city centre, the Reliance was a pioneer in changing the face of Leeds' pubs. It introduced a wide range of international beers from Belgium, Spain and elsewhere, put California's celebrated Anchor Steam on draught, and added a rotating list of local ales (including their own Reliance Bitter) to bottles ranging from Chinese Tsing-Tao to Weston's dry cider. It has a respectable wine list too, plus sofas for reading the papers and a mismatch of old tables if you fancy a bite to eat. Lunch brings soup, sandwiches, ploughman's and bangers, while evening menus go up a gear for the likes of saffron-braised grey mullet with smoked paprika aïoli. Even so, the Reliance remains true to its mission statement: 'at heart, an informal pub'.

Everyone keeps telling me how beautiful it is to watch World Cup finalists Spain but I just can't agree. As pretty as their slick, passing football is I can't help but be absolutely terrified by it.
On Wednesday they were like one of those giant Boa Constrictors, slowly squeezing the life out of a hitherto vibrant Germany in the first half before devouring them with a wonderful, daring second half effort.
I must admit, I've been irked by the hero worship of the Spanish at this tournament. I never had a problem with a team who are quite clearly the international side of their generation, but did we really need to rush to canonise them after beating Honduras, a dreadful Portugal and an obdurate Paraguay?
OK I'll say it. It's time to identify the elephant in the room of this World Cup house party.
This has been a vibrant, colourful and historic World Cup but no amount of enthusiasm from the South African hosts can mask the fact that the football thus far has been pretty damned mediocre.
Not terrible, because there has been enough intrigue in the opening rounds to provide a few truly memorable moments. But let's be honest, there have no individual or team performances that have approached the World Cup gold standard set by the likes of Pele, Maradona and Zidane through the years.
Got to say I'm on David Mercer's side.
I got an email the other day, probably the same one that has pinged into your inbox over the last 24 hours. Highly libellous, it was, but salacious enough to pique my interest - not least because it claimed to have the inside track on why England's World Cup bid failed.
The gist of it was a re-heated rumour given an England twist and for about five seconds I could feel the fury building inside me. He did what? With who? And that's the reason why it's going to be 48 years of hurt by the time we rock up in Rio...
Then I thought about it, got my emotions back in check and realised that the original rumour was a load of malicious nonsense with no foundation. I don't know where it originated from, but whoever started the poisonous chain mail is probably sitting back in his bedroom somewhere feeling pretty pleased with himself.
