Weather and Climate Key in Weights of Penguin Chicks, Researchers Say
Local weather and large-scale climate trends have the largest impact on the weights of Adélie penguin chicks
An adult Adélie penguin feeds its chick.
— not food availability —
according to
researchers at the University of Delaware. Adélie penguins are native to the West Antarctic Peninsula, and their habitat is warming faster than most other parts of the planet. Looking at records dating back to 1987, scientists found that year-to-year changes in local weather — including wind speed, temperature, rain, and humidity — could cause chicks' weights at the time they leave their nests to fluctuate by up to 7 ounces. That's often the difference between a surviving and non-surviving chick, the researchers say. Biologists previously thought that food sources and parenting played the largest role in chicks' health, but
these findings
suggest that exposure to elements is more important. The study "calls into question what happens to an ecosystem when you change climate quickly," principal investigator Matthew Oliver said.

Antarctica and Greenland
Losing Ice at Fastest Rate Ever Recorded
Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are losing mass at an unprecedented rate of 500 cubic kilometers per

according to
German researchers. Using data from the European Space Agency's CryoSat 2 satellite from 2011 to 2014, the team created the most detailed maps to date of ice elevations across Antarctica and Greenland, accurate to a few meters in height. The results reveal that Greenland alone is losing ice volume by about 375 cubic kilometers per year, doubling since 2009, the scientists report. Ice loss in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has increased by a factor of three over the same period. Combined, the two ice sheets are thinning at the highest rate observed since altimetry satellite records began about 20 years ago, the study found. Data show that East Antarctica is gaining ice volume, but at a moderate rate that doesn't compensate the losses on the continent's other side.

Antarctica's Emperor Penguins
To Be in Serious Decline By 2100, Study Says
Antarctica's Emperor penguins are facing dramatic declines by the end of the century and should be given endangered species status because of the threats posed
Sea ice loss threatens Emperor penguins.
by climate change,
according to
an international group of scientists. If sea ice declines at the rates projected by current climate models, at least two-thirds of the colonies will likely shrink by more than 50 percent by 2100, the researchers report in
Nature Climate Change
. That conclusion follows a 50-year study in eastern Antarctica of Emperor penguins, an iconic Antarctic species with 45 known colonies. Emperor penguins' survival is highly dependent on sea ice concentrations because they breed on the ice, and too little sea ice reduces the habitat for krill, a critical food source for the penguins. Granting the species protected status under the U.S. Endangered Species Act will provide tools for improving fishing practices of U.S. vessels in the Southern Ocean and potentially for reducing CO2 emissions in the U.S. under the Clear Air Act, the researchers say.

Skyscraper-Size Ice Structures
Discovered at Base of Greenland Ice Sheet
Melting and refreezing at the base of the Greenland ice sheet has created massive, complex structures the height of skyscrapers and the width of Manhattan,
according to
research published in
Nature Geoscience
Click to Enlarge
Massive structures below Greenland ice sheet.
The hidden formations more than a mile below the surface stand in stark contrast to the nearly flat, smooth exterior of the ice sheet and may accelerate its flow toward the sea, researchers say. Scientists had previously interpreted the irregular topography at the base of the ice as hills or mountains, but ice-penetrating radar revealed that the structures were made of ice rather than rock. Scientists from Columbia University explained that as meltwater at the bottom refreezes over hundreds or thousands of years, it radiates heat into the surrounding ice sheet, making it pick up its pace as the ice becomes softer and flows more easily. Greenland's glaciers appear to be moving more rapidly toward the sea as climate warms, but it's unclear how the refreezing process will influence this trend, researchers said.

finds. The massive Greenland ice sheet — the second largest ice body in the world after the Antarctic ice sheet — experiences annual melting at low elevations near the coastline, but surface melt is rare in the dry snow region in its center. In July 2012, however, satellites observed for the first time surface melt across more than 97 percent of the ice sheet, generating reports that the event was almost exclusively the result of climate change. In the new report, published in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
, researchers found that in both 2012 and 1889 exceptionally warm temperatures combined with black carbon sediments from Northern Hemisphere forest fires to darken the surface of the ice sheet to a critical albedo threshold, causing the large-scale melting events. Since Arctic temperatures and the frequency of forest fires are both expected to rise with climate change, large-scale melt events on the Greenland ice sheet may begin to occur almost annually by 2100, the researchers say.
Interview: Can Marine Life Adapt
To the World's Acidifying Oceans?
As the world's oceans grow more acidic from increased absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide, marine scientists are confronting a key question: How well can
Gretchen Hofmann
organisms like mollusks, crustaceans, and corals adapt to these more corrosive conditions? One of the leading authorities in this field is University of California, Santa Barbara marine biologist Gretchen Hofmann. Her work in recent years has shown, in fact, that some sea organisms that build shells do seem to have some ability to acclimate to more acidic waters. But in an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Hofmann cautions that this adaptive capacity has its limits. The continuing burning of fossil fuels, she says, could push ocean acidity past a tipping point, rendering some mollusks and other organisms unable to build shells.

Natural Variations May Account
For Up to Half of Greenland's Warming
Up to half of the recent climate change in Greenland and surrounding regions — which have warmed at roughly twice the pace of the rest of the planet since 1979 — may be due to natural climate variations that originate in the tropical Pacific and are not connected
Meltwater from Russell Glacier
with the overall warming of the Earth, a
new study
says. Still, at least half the warming remains attributable to rising global carbon dioxide emissions, according to research published in the journal
. Climate data and advanced computer models show that changes in the western tropical Pacific Ocean, which has been about 0.3 degrees warmer than normal, have caused shifts in atmospheric pressure over the North Atlantic. Those changes set off a stationary wave in the atmosphere that arcs in a great circle from the tropical Pacific toward Greenland, pulling warmer air over that massive island. "Along this wave train there are warm spots where the air has been pushed down, and cold spots where the air has been pulled up," one author explained. "And Greenland is in one of the warm spots."

Exxon Mobil Arctic Project
Possibly At Risk Over Russia Sanctions
Exxon Mobil's development of a Russian Arctic oil project valued at nearly $900 billion is at risk following recent U.S. sanctions on Russian officials as a result of Ukraine's ongoing political crisis,
Bloomberg News reports
. Exxon Mobil has partnered with the Russian state-controlled oil company OAO Rosneft to drill an oil-rich geological structure known as Universitetskaya, which contains an estimated 9 billion barrels of oil, valued at $900 billion at current market prices. Rosneft's CEO, Igor Sechin, a longtime member of Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle, was sanctioned by the U.S. yesterday, exposing the partnership with Exxon Mobil to additional scrutiny. Exxon Mobil and Rosneft are set to invest an estimated $600 million in drilling at the site in the Kara Sea, which would make the project Exxon's most expensive to-date. A U.S. Treasury official said yesterday that U.S. companies can still do business with Rosneft, but some analysts say Russian companies could become wary of working with Western corporations in the future. Exxon said last week that the project is on schedule.

Newfound Atmospheric 'Hole'
Threatens Polar Ozone Layer, Scientists Say
have discovered
a large opening in the Earth's atmosphere that is enabling pollutants to rise
Pacific atmosphere hole an elevator to the stratosphere
into the stratosphere and destroy ozone. The hole, which is in a part of the lower atmosphere called the "OH shield," is several thousand kilometers long and is centered over the tropical west Pacific Ocean. It's relatively close to Southeast Asia, a region with a booming population and rapidly increasing air pollution. The hole is a major concern because the OH shield usually scrubs air of chemical compounds emitted near the ground before they can reach the stratosphere, where those compounds can persist for long periods of time, reacting with and destroying ozone, say researchers at Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute who identified the hole. The newly discovered phenomenon acts as a sort of elevator, researchers say, drawing chlorofluorocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and other contaminants straight up to the stratosphere and bypassing the OH shield scrub.

West Antarctic Glacial Loss
Is Rapidly Intensifying, New Study Shows
Six massive glaciers in West Antarctica are dumping far more ice into the Southern Ocean than they were 40
An 18-mile crack in the Pine Island Glacier
years ago and now account for
10 percent of the world's sea level rise
, according to a new study. Reporting in
Geophysical Research Letters
, an international team of scientists said that the amount of ice draining from the six glaciers has increased by 77 percent since 1973. The scientists said that the ice loss from the six glaciers is so substantial that it equals the amount of ice draining annually from the entire Greenland Ice Sheet. The scientists used satellite data from 1973 and 2013 to gauge the ice loss from the six glaciers. The
Pine Island Glacier
is moving more rapidly to the sea than any of the other six, with its speed increasing from 1.5 miles per year in 1973 to 2.5 miles per year in 2013. The glaciers are dumping more ice into the sea primarily because warmer ocean waters are loosening the ice sheets' hold on the sea floor, which speeds up glacial flow.

Warm River Water Plays Major
Role in Arctic Sea Ice Melt, Study Finds
Relatively warm water flowing into the Arctic Ocean from rivers contributes significantly to Arctic sea ice melt each summer, a phenomenon that will intensify as the region warms, according to
NASA researchers
. The river discharge not only melts coastal sea ice, it also has

a wider climate impact as it creates more open water, which is darker than ice and absorbs more heat from sunlight. As these NASA images show, when water from Canada's Mackenzie River flowed into the Beaufort Sea in the summer of 2012, average surface temperature of the open water rose by 6.5 degrees C (11.7 degrees F) after the pulse of river water. Flow from the Mackenzie raised sea surface temperatures as far as 350 kilometers (217 miles) from the coast. The researchers note that river discharge is becoming an increasingly important contributor to melting Arctic sea ice because the volume and temperature of fresh water discharge is increasing as inland Arctic areas warm more each summer.

estimated, according to a new study. The decline of albedo, or reflectivity, from the Arctic Ocean equals roughly 25 percent of the warming caused by rising carbon dioxide levels, according to scientists at the University of California, San Diego. The impact of this "albedo feedback," in which the highly reflective white surface of sea ice is replaced by heat-absorbing open ocean, is considerably stronger than climate models had predicted,
according to the UCSD research
, published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers had thought increasing Arctic cloud cover might slow the albedo feedback, but this study indicates that is not happening.

Alaska's warm January
shows that the last half of January was one of the warmest winter periods in Alaska's history, with temperatures as much as 40 degrees F (22 C) above normal on some days in the central and western portions of the state. A high pressure system off the state's western coast sent warm air and rain through Alaska instead of down into California, which is in the midst of a record drought. The warmest January temperature ever observed in Alaska was tied on January 27, when the thermometer hit 62 F (16.7 C) at Port Alsworth, in southern Alaska. Combined with rainstorms, the heatwave set off a host of spring-like effects, including avalanches and swollen rivers, which carried major sediment loads into the Gulf of Alaska. Inland, Arctic lakes are also seeing consequences of Alaska's long-term warming trend. A
new study
found that lakes in the region froze almost six days later and broke up about 18 days earlier in the winter of 2011 compared to the winter of 1950.
Interview: Activist Kumi Naidoo
On Russia and the Climate Struggle
Kumi Naidoo, the international executive director of Greenpeace, is intimately familiar with the Prirazlomnaya drilling platform in the Russian Arctic. In 2012, he and five other Greenpeace activists were hosed down with frigid water and pelted with pieces of metal as they attempted to climb aboard the platform.
Kumi Naidoo
Greenpeace and Prirazlomnaya were back in the news recently when 28 Greenpeace members were arrested and held for several months for storming the rig before being released in December. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Naidoo talks about what's needed to get global climate talks off the ground and launch a green energy revolution, and the reason his activist organization has decided to take such a strong stand against oil drilling in the rapidly melting Arctic Ocean. "We went back [to Prirazlomnaya]," says Naidoo, "because we're trying to draw a line in the ice, because once this starts it will have breached another threshold of meeting our rapacious appetite for oil and gas in the most fragile of environments."

A major Antarctic ice mass, the Pine Island Glacier, is melting irreversibly and could add as much as a centimeter to global sea level rise over the next 20 years alone, according to new research published in
Nature Climate Change
. Calculations show that the Pine Island Glacier's "grounding line" — where land-based ice meets a floating ice shelf that is an extension of the

glacier — has retreated roughly 10 kilometers in the past decade. Scientists say that the grounding line is in the process of a 40-kilometer retreat that could push it beyond an important tipping point. Pine Island Glacier is a
major contributor to global sea level rise
and has been losing massive amounts of ice for decades, accounting for
20 percent of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet's total ice loss
. An international research team says that the Pine Island Glacier has been losing 20 billion tons of ice annually for the past two decades and could lose 100 billion tons annually over the next 20 years. The glacier "has started a phase of self-sustained retreat and will irreversibly continue its decline," says Gael Durand, a glaciologist with France's Grenoble Alps University.

Faced With Sea Ice Loss,
Emperor Penguins Alter Breeding Tactics
Confronted with the loss of sea ice in some parts of Antarctica, four colonies of emperor penguins have come up with
an innovative breeding strategy
to adapt to their changing environment. Using satellite images,
an international team of scientists tracked the four colonies from 2008 to 2012. In the first three years, the emperor penguins hatched and incubated eggs in their customary fashion — atop the sea ice that freezes during the Antarctic winter and spring. But in 2011 and 2012, sea ice did not form until a month after the breeding season began. As a result, the emperor penguins, which are the largest penguin species on earth, did something never before witnessed by scientists: They climbed the nearly sheer walls of large, floating ice shelves — huge structures, often hundreds of square miles in extent, that flow from land-based glaciers into the sea. In the region of the four colonies, the ice shelf walls reach as high as 100 feet. The scientists say the altered breeding behavior could demonstrate how ice-dependent emperor penguins may adapt to a warming world.

Stranded Antarctic Expedition
Rescued After Being Icebound for Nine Days
Passengers trapped on an icebound Russian research ship off the coast of Antarctica were
rescued today after being stranded
for more than a week. A helicopter from China shuttled the 52 scientists, journalists, and tourists to an Australian icebreaker. The chartered ship was attempting to recreate the century-old travels and scientific work carried out by the East Antarctic research expedition led by Douglas Mawson in 1911. The Russian ship, which set out from New Zealand on December 8, became trapped in thick pack ice that even icebreakers could not penetrate. Because it was a privately chartered expedition, the voyage was not subjected to the same rigorous safety requirements that a research trip funded by government agencies would have been, scientists said. Some scientists contended that the lack of preparation sparked a rescue effort that
diverted ships, crew, and other important resources
from other research efforts elsewhere in Antarctica.

The researchers found fertile females as well as individuals at all stages of development, showing that the Atlantic species is reproducing in the frigid waters. The one-centimeter amphipods are smaller than respective Arctic species, meaning that the spread of the Atlantic crustaceans northward could reduce the volume of food available to Arctic predators.

Russian Oil Giant Becomes
First in World to Pump Oil From Arctic
The Russian national oil company Gazprom has begun
drilling for oil at a highly contested site in the Arctic
. The oil field, an offshore site in the Russian Arctic known as Prirazlomnoye, drew international attention in September when a contingent of Greenpeace members boarded the platform in protest and were jailed in Russia for two months before being granted amnesty last week. The project, which is several years behind schedule, is the first in Russian history aimed at "developing the resources of the Arctic shelf," Gazprom said. Environmental groups say that no company has the technology or resources to deal with a massive oil spill in the harsh conditions of the Arctic Ocean. The oil giant Shell had planned exploratory drilling in the Arctic off the coast of Alaska, but temporarily shelved those plans last year after a series of mishaps. Gazprom says it has taken all necessary precautions to deal with a spill, Mongabay reports.

Warmer Ocean Water Is Key
Factor in Melting Ice Shelves, Study Says
Recent research into one of West Antarctica's most rapidly melting glaciers and ice shelves has shown that rising ocean temperatures and a series of channels lacing the underside of

key factors in the rapid thinning of the shelf
and the swift advance of the glacier behind it. Reporting in
, U.S. scientists said that instruments deployed on and under the Pine Island Glacier and ice shelf over the past two years have shown that warmer ocean water has been flowing through a series of channels under the shelf, causing the 31-mile-long floating slab of ice to thin at the alarming rate of 2.4 inches per day and loosening the shelf's hold on the bedrock below. The melting ice shelf itself doesn't contribute to sea level rise, but as it thins it allows more of the
land-based Pine Island Glacier to flow into the sea,
which is contributing to sea level rise.

Using satellite data, NASA produced a map that vividly depicts the land surface temperature anomalies in the region during the week of July 20-27, with temperatures soaring as high as 37 degrees F above normal. A separate satellite image shows smoke billowing from several fires burning in one of the areas, in the Khanty-Mansiyskiy and Yamal-Nenetskiy districts. According to scientists, the Siberian fires are burning in areas far north of where summer wildfires typically occur.

But during a meeting of the 25-member Commission for Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, Russia questioned whether the organization had the legal right to create such a haven. A key sticking point for the Russians was the potential loss of the fishery for krill, a shrimp-like creature that is a critical food source for penguins, seabirds, seals, and whales, but is netted for use in Omega-3 dietary supplements.

scientists first observed a crack in the glacier tongue. German scientists, who have been tracking the progress of the ice mass since NASA satellites first observed the crack in 2011, say the calved iceberg measured 720 square kilometers (278 square miles). There is no conclusive proof that climate change triggered the ice break, said Angelika Humbert, an ice researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute. But shifting wind patterns around Antarctica are bringing warmer waters to the surface of the Southern Ocean in West Antarctica, which is hastening the thinning of some glaciers. Humbert said those warmer waters are causing the Pine Island Glacier to flow more rapidly into the Amundsen Sea.

Changes in Jet Stream Triggered
Record Greenland Melt in 2012, Study Says
An unusual shift in the jet stream
triggered the historic level of surface ice melt
that occurred across Greenland last summer, a new study says. Using satellite data and a computer model simulation, scientists from the University of Sheffield found that a high-pressure system developed in the mid-troposphere over Greenland for much of the summer, pushing warm southerly winds over the western edge of the ice sheet and creating a "heat dome" over Greenland. According to the study,
published in the
International Journal of Climatology
, this unprecedented event caused record melting across virtually the entire ice sheet, including on Summit Station, Greenland's highest peak. Ocean temperatures and Arctic sea ice retreat, meanwhile, played a minimal part in the record surface ice melt, the scientists reported. The study predicted that the record ice melt of 2012 is not likely to be "climatically representative of future 'average' summers" during the coming century.

The four modules are arranged around a central atrium. This daylit space and naturally-ventilated space has multiple functions: It is an indoor playing field, a dining hall and it regulates traffic between the other parts of the school. All but one of the modules are comprised of two classrooms and a therapy room. Repetitive framing allowed for prefabricated construction, and the school was built in just eight months.
Towering, illuminated roof monitors in the central atrium are the building's most distinguishing feature. But they're more than that. They also contain vents and windows that draw air throughout the entire building, providing natural cooling and preventing excess energy consumption. Overhangs shade the exterior facade and allow the children to play outdoors even during inclement weather, and much of the interior and exterior is finished with sustainably-sourced wood. It just goes to show that a few thoughtful moves can transform even the simplest design into something fresh and inspiring. We love it.

May this Christmas fill your life and loved ones with much love, peace, and happiness.
We want to say thank you to the people who continuously visit the site, rereading Ziggwies and checking in on us from time to time asking if there'll be more Ziggwies in the future. The answer is yes, but unfortunately not anytime soon.
All the best for 2014!
Best Regards,
Mike & Pete
p.s. Message from Sam... "Whatcha doing for Christmas?"
Now we've changed the homepage so it randomly displays some of our favourites from our archive.

Tomorrow will be the last episode of Ziggwies... for now.
Thank you for the support you've given us over these years. It has been a pleasure sharing Ziggwies with you all.
Sorry to announce this so suddenly, but we've actually been thinking about this for over a year now as our dayjobs are getting progressively demanding which is putting a lot of stress on us. Ziggwies initially started as a project we do for fun, but now it starts to feel like "work" which was never the intention. Hence the break.
Good news is that we'll come back to Ziggwies in the future. Although not anytime soon, but we promise it'll happen as we still have lots of stories written up. We'll also be updating the website from time to time and finishing the last 3 book applications.
Bye for now, and we hope to see you again in the future :)
Best Regards,

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Republicans pushed ahead Monday with their investigation of the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year as President Barack Obama asserted that GOP charges of a cover-up are baseless.
The latest Republican focus is the independent review that slammed the State Department for inadequate security at the installation before the twin nighttime attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked the two authors of the investigation -- veteran diplomat Thomas Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- to meet privately with committee staff to answer questions about their review. Democrats countered that if Congress wants to talk to them, Issa should hold a full open hearing.
Republicans insist that the Obama administration misled Congress and the American people in the immediate aftermath of the attack, trying to play down an act of terrorism that would reflect poorly on Obama weeks before the 2012 presidential election.
Emails disclosed Friday showed that State Department and other senior administration officials pushed for references to prior warnings and al-Qaida to be deleted from the talking points used by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attack. One email suggested that Congress could use those issues as ammunition against the State Department.
At a White House news conference, Obama dismissed the GOP focus on the talking points as a politically driven "sideshow," pointing out that he said "act of terror" on Sept. 12 and the talking points assessment was similar to the daily presidential briefing he had received.
He also noted that Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, told Congress that Benghazi was a terrorist attack with potential links to al-Qaida three days after Rice's appearance on five Sunday talk shows.
"So if this was some effort on our part to try to downplay what had happened or tamp it down, that would be a pretty odd thing that three days later we end up putting out all the information that in fact has now served as the basis for everybody recognizing that this was a terrorist attack and that it may have included elements that were planned by extremists inside of Libya," the president said. "Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days?"
While Obama did refer to Benghazi as an act of terror, the president also cited protests over an anti-Islamic video in several interviews days after the attack, as did Rice on several Sunday news shows. He said Monday that "nobody understood exactly what was taking place during the course of those first few days."
The emails comprising the inter-agency discussion on how to best describe the events in Benghazi were shared with Congress as a condition for allowing the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director to move forward.
The general counsel for the office of the Director of National Intelligence briefed members and staff from the Senate Intelligence panel and leadership on the emails on Feb. 15 at a session in which staff could take notes. A similar briefing took place on March 19 for the House Intelligence panel and leadership staff, according to a senior administration official.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the individual was not allow to publicly discuss the process.
New details on the emails emerged last week. Obama argued that lawmakers had reviewed them several months ago but suddenly they were treated as fresh revelations.
"There's no 'there' there," the president said.
At the State Department, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said her agency didn't review the talking points until the night of Friday, Sept. 14 -- "after the reference to al-Qaida had actually been removed."
The succession of revisions to the talking points only partly backs up that statement. A sentence ascribing some of the blame for the attacks to al-Qaida was stricken at 4:42 p.m. on Sept. 14, according to documents published by ABC News. But a reference to previous attacks in the region by al-Qaida-linked extremists remained in the talking points at 6:52 p.m.
Former State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland then complained at 7:39 p.m. and the paragraph was eliminated in the next revision at 8:59 p.m.
Although the talking points were heavily edited, Rice still referred to al-Qaida and extremists when she appeared on the Sunday shows.
"It's clear that there were extremist elements that joined and escalated the violence; whether they were al-Qaida affiliates, whether they were Libyan-based extremists or al-Qaida itself, I think, is one of the things we'll have to determine," she said.

Shōji Hamada
Japanese, 1894–1978
Unomi teabowl, 1966
8.1 x 7.9 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. A.E. Deacon
Following his ceramic studies at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Shōji Hamada met British ceramist Bernard Leach. He spent three years (1920–1923) working with Leach in St. Ives, Cornwall, England, where they established the Leach Pottery. Hamada's approach to ceramics—rooted in the Japanese folk tradition and combining natural, organic sensibilities—produced straightforward vessel forms, decorated quite simply with earthy glazes and loose, spontaneous brushwork. These three Japanese teabowls or unomi are characteristic of his work: solid, unassuming, and enlivened by passages of stylized calligraphic decoration. Hamada was an important mentor for the British studio pottery movement, and later in North America. Honoured with the designation of Living National Treasure in Japan in 1955, recognizing him as a keeper of Japanese culture, he continues to be seen as one of the crucial forerunners of the international studio pottery movement.

Planning Your Own Vintage Wedding
Getting married and planning for your wedding is not an easy task at all. It may become demanding even. Nevertheless, all good things come with some sort of challenge so you must be up for it because surely, it will be worth it.
Now, how do you plan your wedding – most especially, your vintage wedding?
First, here is a commendation for choosing to go vintage. You have exquisite and special taste indeed and you are not afraid to go out of the normal path of things. It is your wedding day though so you are entitled to the guilty pleasures.
So, getting to the core, how do we start the development process for your wedding?
Identify your budget
This is the initial but essential part: the planning will surely be smoother if you and your partner discuss the amount of money you are both willing to spend for the special day.
Choose which time era you wish to emulate
Fish around for inspiration. Here you can deliberate on what you can pattern your wedding after, whether from movies, books or art. This will be fairly easy since it is something you are interested in. Brides to be, do you want to go Audrey Hepburn or maybe Marilyn Monroe? Take it into great consideration.
Contemplate how far you will go
After deciding on your theme, it is time to make up your mind if you want everything, from the big details to the minute ones, to follow it. Will you go as far as basing, for instance, your food and drink from your chosen era, or will you just settle with vintage attires for everybody? This is important because then you will see the scale of what you will be working on.
Pick your venue
At this point, choose if you want your wedding ceremony to be held indoors or outdoors. This will be beneficial for you and your guests as they select their wedding wardrobe as well as the photographer.
Get your wedding dress
This takes time and patience because bridal stores cater more to what's the latest. You can go on the Internet and search for some online shops or sellers, or you can perhaps check out local boutiques if you can see something worthwhile.
Hire a photographer
Get a photographer whose area of expertise is weddings. You will then be ensured that they know what they are doing. When looking for one, though, do not forget to check out their portfolio first and see if you like their style. For Buckinghamshire weddings, you can contact Kevin of Scott Wood Photography. He is a professional photographer for wedding pictures and documentation wherever they may be.
Keep in mind that, in the first place, this is your wedding – your vintage wedding – so you are the boss. You get to say the final decision. Nevertheless, it still won't hurt to listen to suggestions and recommendations from family and friends. Be open but stay true to what you want and stick to the budget, above all.
We wish you a happy and unforgettable vintage wedding!

|Picard and Data conclude at one point that Moriarti has set the computers to respond only to his voice. So what's the problem? Data can imitate voices perfectly, as seen in "Brothers", so he can still give the computer orders.

|The original script for this episode didn't have Moriarti in it at all, but was set around another holodeck character becoming aware of the truth of his existence. It was when Jeri Taylor mentioned having watched "Elementary, Dear Data" to writer Rene Echevarria and he came up with the idea of using his script to do a sequel.

|"But who knows? Our reality may be very much like theirs and all this might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device sitting on someone's table." - Picard to Troi
The self aware hologram of Professor Moriarti returns, determined to speed up efforts to free him from the holodeck no matter what it takes.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Love beer, but don't know much about it?
Then take Kannah Creek Brewing Company's first-ever fun, little beer class Sunday, Nov. 18, at 2 p.m.
The two-hour, group course - "Beer History 101" - will be held at the brew pub (1960 N. 12th St.) and interested folks should pre-register, first come first serve, at Kannah Creek's 12th Street location. The cost is $16, and the class will accommodate 20 students.
"It will be taught by one of our brewers," Kannah Creek co-owner Eric Ross said. "It will include a brief history of beer and we'll talk a little bit about the brewing process. We'll also discuss different beer styles, and students will taste 4-ounce samples of each of our seven main beers, plus one seasonal. After that, they get to pick a pint of any beer to enjoy."
"We will taste each of the samples together and talk about each one," Kannah Creek brewer Emma Faulkner added.
Ross said Kannah Creek brewers will likely teach a "beer 101" class on the third Sunday of every month, but public interest must be gauged to determine the longevity of the course.
"The goal is to do a class once a month and explore specific beer styles in depth and even beer/food pairings," Faulkner noted.
For more information, call Kannah Creek Brewing Company at 970-263-0111. You may also visit their website, www.kannahcreekbrewingco.com, or like it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/KannahCreekBrewingCompany.

Smells like teen spirit: my appreciation of Neo-Grunge
Born in 1991, I reached my musical maturity around the mid 2000′s. After dabbling a little in the indie music of that decade, I found myself going back in time and discovering music that my babysitters might have listened to in their CD players (or even better, cassette tapes). The music of the early 90′s was embodied by the "grunge" era. Disillusioned teens with apathetic expressions listened to Nirvana and contemplated their own angst, while wearing dirty flannel and clunky Doc Martens.
That's how I've pictured it for many years, but there's more to this movement. A reaction to the glitz and pretentiousness of the 80′s, grunge came out of Seattle in the mid to late 1980′s with a flavor all it's own. While it has some of the components of alternative rock, punk, and metal, grunge originated as an underground movement that aimed to disconnect itself from the popular music of the time. Of course, tragic icons like Kurt Cobain would propel grunge into the mainstream, eventually becoming the popular music it rejected.
While we've replaced Walkmans with iPhones, grunge can still be found in the disenchanted melodies of indie music and the fashion of hipster kids. Kaleidoscopic hair has been a trend for a little while now, recalling the Kool-Aid colored mane that Kurt rocked. Goodwill-goodies like grandpa sweaters, frumpy patterned-shirts, and plaid are staples in the cool kid's closet. And even I (a self-admitted wannabe) have plans to splatter bleach and add studs to an old Gap denim jacket, a sort of DIY fashion statement.
I may no longer be a teen, and it may no longer be the 90′s, but who says I can't show my spirit? Or apathy, for that matter.
And if you'd like to see The Pixies this Wednesday at the Palace and revisit your inner 90′s teen, you can buy tickets for $42.50 and $49.50 at the Louisville Palace box office or online .

my wife does not like gold, and she wanted a black diamond. Good news for me. This gem was a great find. The ring looks beautiful on her finger.
This ring is BEAUTIFUL and everything more, I personally didn't think it would even come close to the picture and my expectations, but I was blown away when I seen it for the first time... I love it and I recommend this ring if you love black diamonds like I do...
I was looking or something different and not like anything else I have seen so when I saw this I fell in love with it. I shines and looks alot better in person and awesome on my hand.
Really pretty set at a low cost! However, I haven't been wearing them long nor am I hard on my jewelry and both rings are severely bent in the back making them very oval shaped now, I fear they are weak in the back and may break easily. We'll see....
The only thing i was not sure of is the cut on the top of the ring looks a little dull, I keep wanting to wipe it with a cloth. It could be because I have never seen a black diamond before? But overall it is real sparkly and unique looking.
I was proposed to with this ring. I had never even heard of black diamonds before. It is absolutely beautiful and I love showing it off because it is so unique. The picture does not do it justice. I will say though, I usually wear a size 7 1/2 and it seemed to run a little large but not much.
The quality of the ring is beautiful. The diamonds have a lot of shine to them. Looks much better in person than in the photo. Shipping was very fast received the item in a few days. Very satisfied.
This is a perfect "starter" wedding set. It fits great and looks even better than the picture. I'm very happy with my purchase!
As stated above, the pics of this ring don't do it justice. It is very pretty and new-looking and clean and arrived quicker than expected which was a bonus. For black stones, they actually sparkle quite a bit. The sizing was perfect, especially for smaller sizes (4 is hard to find in most places). Great quality brand, I would buy from this seller again.
Just what I was looking for. Perfect for small hands.

From Annie Oakley to today, this is a surprising look at the history of firearms and the fairer sex.
Guns are a guy thing. At least that's the popular notion. But throughout history there have been countless exceptions to this unwritten rule. Some have been entertainers, some criminals and others soldiers, but WOMEN AND GUNS do go together. There's even evidence to suggest that women are better shots than men.
From Annie Oakley to today, TALES OF THE GUN takes a look at the legendary women who have blasted their names in history. Some were frontier figures who had to take up arms to survive. Some bucked tradition and even risked imprisonment, disguising themselves as men to protect their nation. And others have earned notoriety as outlaws.
With fascinating interviews, rare photos and period artifacts and accounts, WOMEN AND GUNS tells their stories.

A Kingston High School teacher has been placed on administrative leave following his arrest on felony charges of drug possession and sale. There's also an investigation into a suspicious death in Ulster County. YNN's Alexandra Weishaupt has the latest.
KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Kingston School District students and parents stunned at the arrest of high school social studies teacher Matthew DiDonna. The 42-year-old has been charged with two felonies, including possession and sale of a controlled substance. On Monday night, he appears before a Town of Hurley judge.
"These people are supposed to be role models for our students and kids. This is disheartening when this happens. I'm just shocked," said Jay Soechting, a Kingston High School parent.
Early Sunday morning, police obtained a search warrant in connection with a drug sale at his Hurley home, which they say could be linked to a suspicious death of neighboring Hurley resident Mark Conlin.
Police say DiDonna was found to be in possession of psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana. They say they won't know if Conlin consumed mushrooms, or his exact cause of death, until the autopsy and toxicology reports come in.
Meanwhile, Kingston City School District Superintendent Paul Padalino says he wants to assure parents that their children remain their top priority.
"We are making sure that the students are safe. Any accusation is still an accusation at this point, but we have taken steps to make sure that the teacher isn't in front of students right now," said Padalino.
If DiDonna is convicted, his charges will be given to the Board of Education. The board is then responsible for the final decision of whether he will remain employed by the Kingston School District.
"If he comes back, if we see him again, it's going to be…different," said Kingston High School student Diggy Lessard.
The District Attorney's office plans on presenting DiDonna's case to the grand jury at some point in the near future.

CONNECTING A CROWN CONDENSER MIC (such as a CM-311AHS) TO A CLEAR-COM AB-100 ANNOUNCERS CONSOLE
Option 1: Using the existing 6-pin XLR headset connector in the AB-100
1. Remove the stereo phone plug connector from a pair of headphones, and unsolder the cable leads from the phone plug.
2. Solder a 2-conductor shielded mic cable (about 3 feet long) to a 3-pin female XLR connector. Pin 1: shield, pin 2: mic high, pin 3: mic low. Well call this the 3-foot mic cable.
3. Solder the 3-foot mic cable and the headphone to a 6-pin male XLR cable connector, such as Switchcraft A6M or Neutrik NC6MXS, according to the pinout table below.
4. Inside the AB-100 is an 8-pin connector that sets the functions of the female 6-pin XLR headset connector. Install a jumper between pins 7 and 8 on the 8-pin connector to enable +48V phantom for the microphone. See the schematic on page 29 of the AB-100 manual. Then make these connections:
|6-pin XLR headset-connector pin no.
|AB-100 internal 8-pin connector pin number
|Mic low
|Mic high
|Headphone common
|Left headphone
|Right headphone
|Mic shield
Option 2: Using a 3-pin XLR connector and headphone jack that you install in the AB-100
1. Install a 3-pin female chassis-mount XLR connector in the AB-100 in place of the factory-supplied 6-pin XLR headset connector on the back panel.
2. Install a 1/4 stereo phone jack in the AB-100 in the 1/4 hole next to the headset connector on the back panel.
3. Inside the AB-100 is an 8-pin connector that sets the function of the previous 6-pin headset connector. Install a jumper between pins 7 and 8 on the 8-pin connector to enable +48V phantom for the microphone. Then make these connections between the XLR connector you installed and the AB-100s 8-pin connector:
|Female 3-pin XLR pin no.
|AB-100 internal 8-pin connector pin number
|Mic shield
|Mic high
|Mic low
4. See the AB-100 schematic diagram on page 29 of the AB-100 operation manual. Connect the stereo phone jack to the 3-pin block as shown in the schematic.
5. Plug a mic cable between the Crown microphone and the AB-100 3-pin mic input connector that you installed. Plug headphones into the headphone jack that you installed.

SC DOR Identity Verification Quiz
Beginning with returns filed for the 2012 Tax Year, SC DOR has implemented tighter security measures to protect you and other South Carolina taxpayers from identity fraud. SC DOR will be requiring many taxpayers to verify their identity by taking an identity verification quiz before releasing their tax refund.
The goal is to protect taxpayers from fraud perpetrated by criminals filing fraudulent tax returns in a legitimate taxpayer's name. The anticipated end-result of this new effort is that SC DOR will prevent many tax refunds from being released to identity thieves that have filed for tax refunds using stolen personal information.After filing your 2012 tax return, you may receive a letter from SC DOR instructing you to go to our Internet web site to take an Identity Verification Quiz. The letter will contain a Reference ID that you will use to access the quiz. The quiz consists of multiple-choice questions to which only you should know the answers. After successfully taking the quiz, your refund will be released.If you have received a letter from SC DOR instructing you to take the Identity Verification Quiz from our web address @ www.sctax.org, you may access the quiz by clicking on this link:
