Hamish Macdonell's Sketch: Cameron's Cabinet visit to Scotland gives nationalists home advantage in independence stakes
24 February 2014 09:17 PM
The delight was clear on Alex Salmond's face as he addressed his audience in Portlethan Parish Church. "This is only the second time in history the UK Cabinet has come to the north of Scotland," he said, with a grin, waving over his shoulder in the general direction of the Shell headquarters in Aberdeen where David Cameron was, just at that moment, sitting down to a meeting with his fellow UK ministers.

When George Osborne was given control over the strategy to fight the Scottish Nationalists, it was seen by many as the beginning of a battle which would pit two of the best political operators in the country against one another: Mr Osborne and Alex Salmond. But, for the past year and a half, the Scottish First Minister has had the field pretty much to himself. The Chancellor has had his hands full elsewhere.

Higher-End Diagnostic Imaging Uptake Fending off Market Maturity in Europe
By Medimaging International staff writers
Posted on 25 Feb 2013
The rising prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles and increasing elderly population and in Europe will fuel demand for diagnostic imaging procedures. The European diagnostic imaging system market is forecast to expand slightly, to nearly USD 2.2 billion in 2017, according to recent market research.
Although the effects of the European debt crisis will continue to hamper the market to some extent by delaying buying capital equipment in the next few years, economic conditions will slowly recover after 2013. As aging systems are finally replaced and more facilities purchase high-end imaging systems, system revenues will gather speed, with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) system markets growing the fastest through 2017, according to Millennium Research Group (MRG; Toronto, Canada), a global company focused on medical technology market intelligence.
Higher-end systems are being purchased in these segments, particularly in the CT system market, because they offer sophisticated features and effective images. In addition to higher-quality, facilities will also seek to purchase high-end systems with better dose management features—a significant consideration given the community's ongoing emphasis on reducing radiation doses.
Likewise, the market will show an ongoing shift in preference for higher-end direct radiography (DR) X-ray systems as facilities try to become more efficient. "The shift to DR X-ray systems is somewhat of a double-edged sword," said MRG analyst Felix Lam. "These premium systems are fueling revenues, but their efficiency in patient throughput also means that one DR system can replace multiple analog and computed radiography systems."
The European diagnostic imaging system market is led by multisegment vendors GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, UK), Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany), and Philips Healthcare (Best, The Netherlands), which compete across a range imaging modalities. The strength of these companies lies in their leading positions in the MRI and CT system markets, the critical segments for the near future.
Millennium Research Group, a Decision Resources Group company, is a global specialist on medical technology market intelligence and a provider of strategic information to the healthcare sector.

The Future Is Video
Monday, August 10, 2009
Matt Chaban.
When CAD rose up in the '80s and began replacing hand-drawing as the preferred means of rendering architecture-to-be, practitioners began decrying the death of the field. Obviously that was not the case, but in our increasingly digitized age/culture/lives, where sexy renderings predominate (to the cost of real architectural discourse, some might say, and probably rightly) on blogs and, uh, architectural websites and beyond, videos are becoming an increasingly important component of the process of placemaking. Or at least competitionwinning, as the above video by SPF:architects shows. Read More
The Rumble in Aspen
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Matt Chaban.
Frank Gehry sat down with Tom Pritzker earlier this month at the Aspen Ideas Festival, of which a video was just posted on the Internet, and re-posted above for your viewing pleasure. How we found out about this was through the all-things-Ratner-Gehry-and-Times-related Atlantic Yards Report. Never one not to parse everything related to the above three–and our hats off to him for doing so–Norman Oder discovered the one contentious conversation of the otherwise lovely affair, when Gehry called no less eminent urban thinker Fred Kent of the Project for Public Spaces "a pompous man" for daring to question (admittedly repeatedly and somewhat annoyingly) Gehry's placemaking skills. Yowza.
Whither BP?
Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Sam Lubell.
When BP opened their eco-friendly Helios House gas station on Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, it was touted as the future of such facilities, and a coup for a brand whose image was all about conservation. The station, designed by Office dA and Johnston Mark Lee, featured a metal-clad, geometric design, low-flow toilets, solar panels and a floor made of recycled glass, among other features. (it didn't, however, offer alternative fuels..) But it appears that BP may not have had such high regard for their endeavor. A recent drive-by revealed that the station, still unchanged, was no longer a BP but an Arco. Yes, Arco, the Wal Mart of gas. One of the helpful guides at the station explained that BP actually owns Arco, and that the change of label was "an internal business decision," whatever that means. Looks like green marketing just took one on the chin.
L. Ron Hubbard Would Be Proud
Monday, July 13, 2009
Sam Lubell.
Yesterday while brunching in Hollywood we happened upon the biggest sign we've ever seen. Of course this being LA, it belongs to none other than the Church of Scientology. On July 3 their big blue building at the corner of Franklin and L.Ron Hubbard Way (yes that's the name of the street) was officially fitted with a brand new sign that's 84 feet long, 16 feet tall, and weighs 5.2 tons. It's about three times the size of the former, well-known sign on the site. What's more the marker, which reads "SCIENTOLOGY" in big white letters, is fitted with LED lights so the letters glow at night (unlike the famous Hollywood sign nearby, by the way). Read More
Fire On The Mountain
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
Sam Lubell.
It's not every day that a scary fire burns within a few miles of a major cultural institution. Well in LA it sort of is, but that's beside the point. A recent drive on the 405 Freeway revealed to us what all the news reports are saying: There is a biggish blaze burning just one hill over from the Getty Center on LA's west side. The smoke is thick and brown, and on first look bulged out at the top, not unlike a mushroom cloud. Yikes. Helicopters are running regular passes over the thing, which is spreading in thin lines along the mountains facing the Getty, moving southward down the Sepulveda Pass. But fortunately it appears that firefighters have it under control (in California terms a 10-acre fire is only a mini conflagration), despite a forced evacuation of the Getty and nearby Mount St. Mary's College. Stay tuned… We hope we don't have to see if all that marble and granite will hold up to a good ol' California disaster. And for now, the biggest concern of drivers on the 405 is the threat of imminent traffic. Now that's scary.
FOGA Cut by How Much?
Thursday, July 2, 2009
Sam Lubell.
We knew that Gehry Partners had trimmed its staff recently due to the recession. But according to a story in Architectural Record, the cuts are much worse than we thought. Tony Illia writes that the company has reduced its staff from 250 a year ago to 112 now. That's more than a 50 percent chop! Many of the cuts are due to the losses of projects like Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, and the delay of projects like Grand Avenue in Los Angeles. Still the firm is still set to move into roomier new digs in El Segundo (pictured above) later this year. Should be.. spacious. Still the story says the firm is working on new projects like a Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi, the Beekman tower in Lower Manhattan, and the Eisenhower Memorial in Washington.

Last night was the opening party for No Soul For Sale a (very) temporary show (it closes Saturday night) at the old Dia space on West 22nd Street organized by X Initiative. The crowning achievement–literally–is a lounge designed by LA-based architect Jeffery Inaba and his eponymous firm. An amusing if uncertain follow-up to Dan Graham's former installation, the new piece, entitled Pool Noodle Roof, is meant to provide both comfort and unease. Read More

Just You 'n' Me
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Just You 'N' Me)

|Single by Chicago
|from the album Chicago VI
|"Critic's Choice"

|Chicago singles chronology
"Just You 'N' Me" is a song written by James Pankow for the group Chicago and recorded for their album Chicago VI (1973), with bassist Peter Cetera singing lead vocals. Saxophonist Walter Parazaider plays a soprano saxophone solo during the instrumental section whilst guitarist Terry Kath uses a wah-wah pedal and phase shifter on his guitar. The second single released from that album, it reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[1]
"Just You 'N' Me" was written after a fight with Pankow's future wife Karen:
- "We had a disagreement, and rather than put my fist through the wall or get crazy or get nuclear, I went out to the piano, and this song just kind of poured out. We wound up getting married shortly thereafter, and the lead sheet of that song was the announcement for the wedding, with our picture embossed on it."
"Just You 'N' Me" was the very last song played by Chicago radio station WLS before switching to a talk radio format in 1989.
- Peter Cetera - lead vocals, bass
- Robert Lamm - backing vocals, Fender Rhodes electric piano, piano
- Terry Kath - backing vocals, delayed/phased wah-wah electric guitar

Hi Michael!
May I take this opportunity to congratulate and thank you for this truly awesome website!
Also a suggestion: 'Daily Paul TV'!
I personally would love to see a web TV channel version of the DP, with interviews, etc, perhaps syndicating many of the media already embedded here. You could get Matt Larson to do it, I bet he would love that. Go Ron Paul! Peace...!

It is so heartening to see someone acknowledge that many people do not want to be married and that marriage isn't for everyone, and even point to data to underscore those claims. So thank you, Aaron Ben-Zeev, for doing so. But oh, you broke my heart with that beginning paragraph, highlighted in the "Essential Reads" box, that repeats the conventional wisdom about how marriage confers great benefits. That supposed wisdom is unfounded and unwise.
The statement that bothers me is this one: "Some studies indicate that married people live longer, enjoy better health, earn more money, accumulate more wealth, feel happier, enjoy more satisfying sexual relationships, and have happier and more successful children than those who remain single, cohabit, or get divorced (see here)." The myth being peddled here is that if you marry, you will enjoy all those benefits, too.
I. Here's what's true: Getting married improves your financial bottom line - if you don't get divorced - but it is not because married people "earn" their economic advantages
First, the part that's true: If you get married, you will probably end up better off financially, unless you get divorced, in which case you will end up worse off than if you had never married in the first place. (This is especially true for women.) It is not so much that you "earn" more when you marry, as that you are paid more than your single coworkers, even when they are at the same level of seniority and accomplishments. (This is true for men.) That's not "earning" - that's marital status discrimination, one of the components of singlism. Plus, for both men and women, getting married unlocks a treasure trove of federal benefits and perks, such as access to health insurance under a spouse's plan, access to Social Security benefits, and all the rest that are denied to the unmarried (thereby adding to the intensity of the efforts to advocate for same-sex marriage).

I'm writing from Ammachi's (the hugging Saint) ashram in Kerala, India on this Full Moon in Pisces. Situated between the Arabian sea and the backwaters, in the midst of monsoon season, it could not be more of an archetypal Pisces setting. All the elements are here. Pisces is linked with the devotional side of our nature. Where, what or whom we choose to shower this devotion on will determine the extent of our longing. This morning's spiritual talk, barely understandable to those who don't speak the native language of Malayalam, had one distinct sentence in English that rang out and reminded me of the essence of this Full Moon's teaching: "God is nowhere. God is now here." Eckhart Tolle really brought this teaching to the mainstream with his "Power of Now" Oprah gold but it's such a difficult thing to put into practice. If we're not plugged into the deeper longings of our soul, our tendency is often to want to check out. Pisces reminds us to get out of our heads and into spirit. Pisces rules the language of poetry, music and all things subtle, sublime and divine. But we miss it unless we're totally present to the moment. And the more we let our minds wander away from our essence, the more we fall into mood swings, and allow our negative tendencies to devour us from within.
I found this old Cherokee story printed on the back of a Vedanta booklet that the most magical ashram gatekeeper kindly offered to me when I arrived:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said "my son, the battle is between two "wolves' inside us all.

The grandson thought about this for a minute and then asked: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
Since Pisces is linked to the Moon tarot card depicting a wolf and a dog howling at the Moon, this story seems a fitting illustration of the teachings of Pisces.

Vision and Reality in Pacific Religion
Not available
Contributors include many of the region's top historians providing well-referenced insights balanced by field research. The opening chapters explore the indigenous deities of Oceania and the new visions of the Christian god at the moment of its reception in the Pacific islands. Further chapters narrate the consolidation and growth of missions during the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, highlighting the ways that divine vision were worked out in the practical politics of individual missionaries. The final chapters draw these studies into a broader Pacific context, examining forays into Polynesia by the American Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the post-war establishment of the Bahaí`í in the Pacific, and the nature of theological practice and education in the Pacific.

GhostBSD 2.5 review
GhostBSD is a desktop distribution based on FreeBSD. It comes as an installable Live DVD image and is developed by Eric Turgeon and Nahuel Sanchez. The latest edition, GhostBSD 2.5, based on FreeBSD 9, is the project's fourth release, and was made available for public download on January 24 (2012).
When attempting to boot into the Live desktop, you first have to make a brief stop at the login screen, which I find totally unnecessary. As with virtually all Live installation images, the system should just boot into the Live desktop, without the brief stop at the login screen.

Pondering FOSS foundations
In the case of the Document Foundation, the LibreOffice project needed an independent, solid and meritocratic entity dedicated to support it. In other terms, the OpenOffice.org community wanted to be its own boss and stop relying on corporate – or even third party – good will. If you attend the Community Track on the 31st you will be able to learn more about the Document Foundation and the other entities, but my message here is that while there is no silver bullet in these matters, forcing a community be hosted or to bend to a software vendor never works. It bends if it wants to; it goes whereever it wishes to go. In the case of the Document Foundation, independence and community rule prevailed over convenience; today the results do not need to be proven anymore. But it does not mean we hold the truth more than anybody else: we just ensured the community was in charge.

"Zhe healing is not as rewarding as zhe hurting."You should never trust anyone with "Bad Powers"; more often than not they're villains, and at best will be dark but not evil. Instead, you should completely trust that lovely person dressed all in white with the happy Light based powers, like granting life to the fallen and raining down beams of judgement from the heavens... which they're using to raise an army of undead. Wait. Believe it or not, good powers do not necessarily make you a good person. Whether it's the Empathic Healer, Barrier Warrior, someone with powers fueled by love, light, or other traditionally positive Elemental Powers, it's ultimately personality and choice that determine whether the character is good or evil. And boy, have they ever chosen to be evil. In many ways this makes them worse than villains with "bad" powers; whereas the evil applications of say, a death touch or the ability to summon demons are obvious, someone with "good" powers has had to sit down and carefully think of ways to use their naturally beneficial powers to harmful ends. Maybe they ask for money in exchange for healing, or outright extort villagers for payment in order to "solve their problem". Beyond this merely mercenary outlook, a Bad Person with Good Powers might use their powers for outright evil or to aid evildoers, or find a way of twisting their previously squeaky clean power (say, Psychic Surgery) into a squicky mean torture. Lastly, any Knight Templar with "Holy" powers might be so dogmatic in their belief that they twist their holy mandate into things like ethnic cleansing of "Always Chaotic Evil" races. This can be considered a form of What the Hell, Hero? (well, villain), with the evil of using powers to make money varying by writer. To put it another way, it's like a personified version of a Crapsaccharine World, as the initial vision of someone whose powers seem well-meaning belie more heinous intent. The opposite of Bad Powers, Good People. Compare Yin-Yang Bomb, Cut Lex Luthor a Check, Light Is Not Good, Power Perversion Potential. Contrast No Cure for Evil. See also Lethal Harmless Powers.

Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson remember L.M. "Kit" Carson, who helped them get their start in the movie business.
Useful new things to be said about the debacle in Iraq are in very short supply. I'm not sure that's what "Lions for Lambs" intends to demonstrate, but it does, exhaustingly. Essentially, if I have this right, we should never have invaded Iraq, but now that we're there, (1) we can't very well leave, and (2) we can't very well stay, so (3) the answer is, stay while in the process of leaving.
The movie is a talkathon with a certain amount of military action. It could be presented about as well as a radio play. Directed by Robert Redford, it uses an all-star cast which focuses attention away from the dialogue and toward the performances. Since I doubt that's what Redford intended, it doesn't speak well for the screenplay by Matthew Michael Carnahan. When a third of a movie involves a verbal duel between Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep, what are we supposed to do, not notice who's talking?
The movie follows three storylines, plus flashbacks linking all of them. In Washington, a veteran journalist (Streep) sits down for an exclusive interview with a Republican senator (Cruise) who has presidential ambitions. In Los Angeles, a political science professor (Redford) sits down to discuss the purposes of life with a brilliant but disappointing student (Andrew Garfield). And in Afghanistan, two of the professor's former pupils (Michael Pena and Derek Luke) are involved in a firefight on a snowy mountain peak.
As it happens, they are involved in the very military strategy that the senator is touting to the journalist. It involves seizing the high ground in Afghanistan earlier in the season than the Taliban can get there, to control mountain passes and therefore prevent Taliban troop movements. The Cruise character presents this as a strategic breakthrough on a level with, I dunno, Nelson's rout of Napoleon.
In Los Angeles, the promising student has just stopped caring, and the talk with his professor is designed to reignite his passion. He should get involved in his nation's politics -- take an interest, take a stand. A flashback sequence shows the two soldiers winning a classroom debate by calling the other side's bluff: They have enlisted in the military.
The movie is anti-Bush's war, I guess. The journalist makes better points than the senator, anyway. What the professor and his student think is hard to say, although they are very articulate in muddying the waters. As for the two enlistees, it is safe to assume that at the end of the film, they are wondering whether their debate strategy was the right one.
There is a long stretch toward the beginning of the film when we're interested, under the delusion that it's going somewhere. When we begin to suspect it's going in circles, our interest flags, and at the end, while rousing music plays, I would have preferred the Peggy Lee version of "Is That All There Is?"

OK - several things come to mind in addition to calling the garda - which might not be so effective given the time lag.

Events in mayo not too long ago where a young man was stabbed to death for intervening in a fight to break it up are rather sobering. These days there are a lot of people walking around carrying knives and who seem to have no boundaries. I'd be very careful about intervening in a fight without a few others to back you up. If you must intervene then do so verbally from a safe distance rather than engaging at close quarters. tell them the gards are on their way or something and have a clear escape route or something decent handy to defend yourself if it turns ugly. Running away is always best!! There are much better causes to die for than a drunken brawl!! If you are suicidal then might I recommend A bit of strategic Jihad in lenister house to reduce the government majority or at a meeting with church sex offenders instead perhaps? ;-)

Thursday October 9, 2014
As a social worker and mental health counselor my mind is usually focused on the human condition, not the world of plants. There is something perhaps metaphorical or analogous about seemingly endless life lessons that a garden provides or makes explicit for us. A garden strikes me as a potent ground zero for new beginnings or 'firsts.' For example today marked the first time for me as an official Edible Peace Patch volunteer. Additionally it was also my first time being in a position of teaching children. Ironically, the children I was teaching were first graders! It was also my first time teaching anyone about gardens, seeds, nature, and teaching outdoors.
The children were excited, eager, and yes, energetic!! As I taught them the lesson plan "The Magic of Seeds" and what seeds need ( water, sunlight, nutrients, soil) and the potential of seeds I could not help but see the parallel or similarities between all the firsts going on in the life of a new fall season at Lakewood Elementary School Garden, the life of the children entering the first year of what I hope will be a rich and rewarding relationship with learning and my life-still experiencing new firsts at age 50!
May the newness and regenerative powers of first times and new beginnings stay with us always. The garden shows us they way.

Edible Peace Patch Featured Plant No 1: Powerhouse Papaya
Welcome to the first posting in a series I'll call the
Edible Peace Patch Featured Plant.
The first featured plant is one that can be found in many of our schoolyard gardens and is a consistent favorite among the children:
Carica papaya
Edible Peace Patch Featured Plant.
The first featured plant is one that can be found in many of our schoolyard gardens and is a consistent favorite among the children:
Carica papaya
C. papaya is a plant-like tree that grows to be 5-10 meters (16 to 30 feet) tall. The leaves are deeply palmately lobed with 7 lobes and grow to be almost 2 ft long. It's leaves drop easily, leaving the characteristic leaf scars along the truck. The flowers are a waxy white and have 5 petals. The fruit is usually between 6 and 18 inches long, has rosy or yellow flesh, and dozens of slimy black seeds in the center. The fruit is ripe when it is soft to the touch and has an orange hue.
Female flowers of the papaya. Papayas are naturally dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female trees. However, they can change gender quickly depending on environmental factors. This one's a female tree...for now.
Male flowers of the papaya. This ones the male, so pollen will be taken from these flowers to the female flowers, which will then develop into papaya fruits.
Growing conditions:
Papayas grow in frost-free climates, need lots of sunlight, water and nutrient-rich soil. They grow easily from seed, but don't transplant well. If you want to plant one from seed, try making a modified hugelkultur bed like those in our gardens and planting the seeds directly into the ground. Thin the weaker trees out as they grow. For more info on how to grow papayas, check this permaculture site out.
Below is a papaya at our Maximo peace patch:
The papaya plant's original home range stretches from southern Mexico into northern South America, but it is now grown in tropical regions around the world. The papaya ranks 3rd in total tropical fruit production worldwide (15.36% of the market) behind mango and pineapple (another favorite of our students).
What's so special?
For one, the tree's rapid, measurable growth makes it a go-to when discussing the plant life cycle with students. It's easy to find a plant with flowers, unripe, and ripe fruit all on the same tree. This also comes in handy when we teach the children about the parts of the plant, the role of flowers, and pollination.
Papayas are particularly nutritious, too. Besides being high in fiber and minerals, it is a wonderful source of the B vitamins and antioxidants including carotenes, vitamin C, and flavonoids. It's also a great source of the digestive enzyme papain, a molecule that's been isolated and used industrially for brewing, meat tenderizing, pharmaceuticals, and beauty products. That's right, ladies, you can slather mashed papaya on your face for an easy, rejuvenating facial.
You can eat the ripe fruit alone, in salads, or smoothies. The unripe fruit can be eaten raw (like in Thai papaya salad) or cooked. The young leaves can be steamed and eaten like spinach, and some cultures use the flowers in their cuisine. The seeds can be eaten, too, and are sometimes used as a substitute for black peper.
Personal notes: The high enzyme content makes papaya fruits ripen rather quickly, so grab a fresh papaya only if you're prepared to use it in less than a week. Also, I'll be honest, the fruit smells slightly like feet to me, and I've found the only way I can really enjoy eating papaya raw (besides in smoothies) is by smothering fresh slices in lime or lemon juice and sprinkling with salt.
I hope you've learned a little something about this powerhouse fruit growing in our gardens.
Stay tuned for the Featured Plant No 2: Pineapple!

Last Week of Spring Garden Education
This week is the final week volunteers are out in the Peace Patch schoolyard gardens teaching students.
The lesson is a continuation of last week's--measuring changes in the garden plants. We started last week by getting the students to ask questions about the garden. This week we looked for answers to the questions by observing changes in the plants, and we said our goodbyes and harvested food.
What will happen to this?
It will become corn!
What is this?
A papaya!
How much will this grow?
A few weeks ago this was only the size of a marble.
Asking questions is the first step in the scientific method and arguably the most important aspect of science itself. Many people mistake science as a search for answers. Nothing is ever proven right in science...theories are only proven incorrect or insufficient. We must retain our childlike curiosity so that we can continue to ask the right questions at the right times, and so that we may learn more about ourselves in the process.
I am grateful for having the chance to teach the students at Lakewood Elementary this semester because it has reminded me to nurture the childlike excitement that arises when I see a new bud on our squash plants, find a mysterious insect on the tomato, or try my first bite of a new vegetable. It's reminded me why I am both a child and a scientist at heart.
Until next semester,

Spring has sprung...and so has the pollen.
Hi folks,
After a rainy spring break week, we are back in the garden. It's amazing how much it had changed in such a short period. The main development: flowers. Flowers on the tomato plants, flowers on the dill, flowers on the weeds. It seems like everything is blooming save the lettuce and kale. No wonder I've been sneezing like crazy.
|Coral Honeysuckle
This is convenient because the lesson this week in the peace patch gardens is all about pollination.
Sam, Kaitlin, Cory and I had a group of Pre-K students out in the garden this afternoon. We taught them all about pollination, showed them examples of pollinators (bees, butterflies, etc.), and we picked flowers, of course. Unfortunately, I was too carried away picking apart flowers with the kids to remember to take pictures of all of us...but I did get some snapshots of what's blooming:
|Female flowers of the papaya. Papayas are naturally dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female trees. However, they can change gender quickly depending on environmental factors. This one's a female tree...for now.
|Male flowers of the papaya. This ones the male, so pollen will be taken from these flowers to the female flowers, which will then develop into papaya fruits.
|Green onions. This is the beginning of a classic, round allium blossom.
|Eggplant flower and young fruit, the product of successful fertilization.
|Tomato flowers. A lot of nightshades (ex: tomatillos, eggplants, potatoes, peppers) have this flower shape.
|Wood sorrel. You can't forget the weeds--they attract pollinators, too! Sorrel doesn't taste half bad, either.
|Beach or dune sunflower.
Until next time,
ponder over a flower or two.

The seeds that we all planted a few weeks ago are coming along very nicely! The recent rain is making them so happy :)
Little cucumber seedlings above.
Here are corn seedlings in the Three Sisters bed, soon to have other seeds planted!
Today we had the great opportunity to have some Lakewood High School students come out to interview and film us in the garden with the kids.
The lesson plan today was about the parts of a plant. Hank, Avery, Wes, and I had a big group of kindergartners and they were really excited to learn, especially about flowers and fruits.
Avery teaching about the roots of a plant.
The kids were very intrigued about the baby pineapples growing on the plants!
I think the papayas were the favorite of the boys :)
Can't wait to see the progress next week!

This is more old style Clapham than the other wonderful cafes on offer in Clapham. I love it for its old hippie decor and vegetarian breakfasts and sitting outside on the common can be a very pleasant start to the day.
Good place for breakfast and brunch. Caters for vegetarians. Great views of the common. Outdoor seating is best. Cheap breakfast food in a good location. Ideal at weekends.

Welcome to Arab and Muslim American Studies
Today, an estimated 3.5 million Arabs and Arab Americans live in the United States. Arab Americans in Michigan constitute one of the largest Arab American populations in the U.S. Figures on the number of Muslims in the United States range widely from 3 to 12 million, many of whom are African American, South Asian American, and Arab American. The population of Muslims in the U.S. is diverse and includes a growing Latina/o Muslim population. In addition, the Arab region, its diasporas, Muslim Americans, and recent Muslim immigrants have become increasingly central to U.S. history and politics. Immigration and displacement by war and the forces of global economy are among the factors that have sparked movements of Arab and Muslim people to the United States.
