COLOMBIA, land of light: Documentary + Discussion with Santiago Escobar Jaramillo March 28, 5:00 - 6:30 pm. Stella Room 7-338.
COLOMBIA, tierra de luz (land of light) consists of a series of symbolic acts of support for victims of violence and displacement in different parts of Colombia, through the media of photography and art. It is a voice that confronts the silence surrounding those who have been affected and marginalized by the armed conflict for more than half a century.
During the interventions, villagers and visitors expressed their thoughts and emotions through words, gestures and singing. The visual result of the artistic actions, celebrations and testimonials were documentary and interpretative photographs, also recorded on film, audio and video, all indispensable as vessels for memory and imagination. Join us for a viewing of a documentary film (28 min.) that compiles footage, images and sounds from the project, followed by a discussion with its author. View the event poster here.
About the author:
An architect from the National University of Colombia - Manizales, Santiago Escobar Jaramillo has a MA in Photography and Urban Cultures from Goldsmiths College, University of London. He has exhibited in more than 70 national and international group and solo exhibitions. He has photographed around the world for Villegas Editores, Revista Semana, UNHCR, MFO, ICIPE, CUCR-Goldsmiths, among others. Since November 2011, he runs workshops at the school of photography and cinema Zona Cinco. Currently, he is the author of COLOMBIA, land of light.

New Approaches to Social Science Research Discussion Group (And Their Implications for Doctoral Study in the Applied Social Sciences). Led by Larry Susskind, Ford Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning, DUSP. February 20, 2013, March 6, 2013, and March 20, 2013 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. Room 9-451. RSVP Required.
Substantial challenges have been raised over the past decade to traditional models and strategies of applied social research. These challenges go by many names including Phronesis (from Aristotle) and Participatory Action Research (PAR). Were we to take them seriously, our entire approach to doctoral study -- particularly the research methods we require students to learn -- would probably be overturned. Join the discussion, but read Bent Flyvbjerg's books (outlined below) before February 20th. They are available in paperback.
RSVP: Space is limited. Please RSVP to Jasmine Bellitti at email@example.com or 617.253.3216.
FEBRUARY 20th: Discussion of Bent Flyvbjerg's Making Social Science Matter: Why Social Inquiry Fails and How it Can Succeed Again, Cambridge University Press, 2001
Making Social Science Matter presents a new approach to social science, including theoretical argument, methodological guidelines, and examples of practical application. Why has social science failed in attempts to emulate natural science and produce normal theory? Flyvbjerg argues that the strength of social science is in its rich, reflexive analysis of values and power, essential to the social and economic development of any society.
MARCH 6th: Discussion of Real Social Science: Applied Phronesis edited by Bent Flyvbjerg, Todd Landmann and Sanford Schram, Cambridge University Press, 2012
"Built on Flyvbjerg's commitment to social science that "matters", Flyvbjerg, Landman, and Schram's volume enriches the field with theoretical and methodological arguments and case studies extending and contending with each other in diverse locales and levels of social intervention. Anyone interested in socially-transformative social science will gain from it." Davydd J. Greenwood, Cornell University
"A splendid collection that demonstrates the possibilities of a social science praxis that is contextual, reflexive, normatively engaged and yet also well-theorized and powerfully illuminating. A bracing step toward social understanding that is not straight-jacketed by the nomothetic cannons of laboratory science." James C. Scott, Yale University
"This book and this mission are of utmost importance and urgency. Phronesis, only phronesis, can save social science. We have no other hope." Nassim N Taleb, NYU-Poly, author of The Black Swan
"What an important book! Bent Flyvbjerg and his collaborators have taken a decisive step forward in developing social scientific enquiries informed by an Aristotelian concept of phronesis .Their case studies disclose how much has remained invisible to other modes of enquiry." Alasdair MacIntyre, University of Notre Dame, Indiana
"A landmark book in phronetic social science, expanding creatively on Flyvbjerg's innovative ideas through further theoretical elaboration and, most important, exemplary and insightful empirical applications. Eight case studies concretize phronetic practice and open new paths for moving beyond static social scientism." Edward Soja, UCLA
March 20th: Participatory Action Research, Phronesis and Their Implications for Doctoral Study in the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning
Invited Guest: Professor John Forester, Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University
Discussion of Davydd Greenwood and Morten Levin, Introduction to Action Research: Social Research and Social Change, 2nd edition, Sage, 2006

Sustainable and Equitable Neighborhood Revitalization: A parallel workshop between Boston and Madrid Symposium: January 17, 2013, 5:00-9:00 pm. Room 9-450.
Exhibition: On view December 19, 2012- February 15, 2013. Gallery Hours: 9am – 5pm Monday - Friday. Keller Gallery MIT, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 7-408, Cambridge, MA 02139.
Strategies for solving urban planning problems have become increasingly global in nature, reflecting the similarity in challenges cities face in a globalized economy and a changing physical climate. In order to share knowledge across international boundaries, planning institutions increasingly seek to understand how similar problems are being addressed from different cultural perspectives, methodologies, and legal regulations. This approach formed the basis for the Parallel Workshop for Sustainable & Equitable Neighborhood Revitalization held in the spring of 2012 by the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Departamento de Urbanística y Ordenación del Territorio (DUyOT) at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). The workshop focused on contemporary urban challenges from two very different national perspectives and formulated proposals for two different neighborhoods—Ciudad de los Angeles in Madrid, and Fields Corner in Boston— working closely with local community-based organizations. On the occasion of the exhibition, a half-day symposium will be held to discuss the experience of community-university partnerships between MIT´s Department of Urban Studies and Planning and community organizations from the Boston area.

URBAN.Boston and Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI) Public Community Meeting December 11, 2012, 6:00-8:00 pm, DSNI, Roxbury, MA
On December 11, 2012, URBAN.Boston (the Boston chapter of the Urban Research-Based Action Network) will hold its second public community meeting at the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI). The intention of these public community meetings is to discuss how we can support and encourage collaborative, community-based research between academics and community members. And you are invited!
URBAN.Boston is a diverse group of researchers and community members who have expressed their enthusiasm for promoting research that contributes to community advancement and advances knowledge relevant to social justice concerns. This December 11 meeting is part of a series of meetings with various community groups to expand the URBAN network. We are happy to collaborate with the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI), a nonprofit community-based planning and organizing entity rooted in the Roxbury/North Dorchester neighborhoods of Boston (http://www.dsni.org).
There are two overarching goals for the Tuesday, December 11th, evening. The first goal is to continue the process of engaging researchers and community leaders/members interested in collaborative research, and providing an opportunity for them to meet each other and build relationships. The second is to continue our ongoing discussion about what types of research community based organizations would like to see and what URBAN can do to support this work.
The meeting will also feature a presentation from DSNI about its place-based organizing and development work.
We expect a lively and useful discussion; and hope you will be there to contribute.

#citychat No. 7: Post-disaster Planning November 15, 2012, 3:00 p.m. EST, @MITCoLab
November's #citychat is on urban design and international humanitarian response after a disaster. More information is available on CoLab Radio
This #citychat will bring the humanitarian community together with architects and urbanists who work in a non-emergency context. @alisonkilling of Killing Architects and her collaborator Kate Crawford will ask you to think about the different ways urban and humanitarian practitioners describe, think about and work in cities. It will also be an opportunity to pose some questions about the legitimacy and significance of international humanitarian organisations relative to local government and community-led reconstruction. There has been sharp scrutiny of humanitarian action in the dense, vital streets of Port-au-Prince, for example. News headlines give some idea of the complexity and controversy that have prompted our project.
You are invited to share their own ideas for and experiences with post-disaster work at this #citychat. Come to the chat with your experiences, questions, and challenges for the interviewees and your fellow chat participants.
This discussion is part of a research collaboration between Killing Architects in the Netherlands and the Development Planning Unit at University College London. It has involved interviews with practitioners involved in reconstruction and visits to sites built back by government contractors, international organisations and the communities affected by the disaster. The research has been funded by the RIBA with support from CENDEP at Oxford Brookes. It is part of a series of events leading up to a workshop on London on November 30th at CENDEP.
It's easy to join the Twitter chat. Just follow #citychat on Twitter from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 15th. Even if you don't have a Twitter account, you can watch the conversation unfold here.

#citychat No. 6 : Financing an Urban Farm October 18, 2012, 2:00 p.m. EST, @MITCoLab
October's #citychat is going to be a collaborative, crowd-sourced brainstorm on creative ways for small urban farms and sustainable food ventures to grow and finance themselves. One farm in particular is looking for your ideas: Concrete Jungle of Altanta, Georgia.
The City of Atlanta is overflowing with unclaimed fruit. Sidewalk trees, office park trees, and even people's backyard trees bear thousands of pounds of delicious fruit each year, but often no one bothers to pick them. Craig Durkin and Aubrey Daniels founded Concrete Jungle in 2009 because they wanted to get that bounty to people who could not afford fresh produce. Every weekend during Atlanta's long and lush growing season, Craig and Aubrey and their volunteers go out in search of these fruits. They pick what they find and deliver it to homeless shelters and food banks for free. Their operation is 100% volunteer-run. By the time this chat takes place, Concrete Jungle will have donated an impressive 10,000 pounds of food.
Today, Concrete Jungle is at a turning point. Recognizing a growing demand for fresh fruit and an opportunity to expand farming and foraging operations, Craig and Aubrey are contemplating scaling up. But how? They want to figure out a way to be sustainable without compromising their main mission of gathering, growing, and delivering fresh produce to those who can't afford it. What do you think? Should Concrete Jungle sell a portion of its bounty? Should it seek grant funding? Should it explore cooperative ownership models? Should it maintain its current model? One thing is already clear: "We don't want to be an organization that just lives off of grants," said Craig.
If you are involved in urban farming anywhere in the world, please come to this #citychat to tweet your ideas and experiences.
@MITCoLab will introduce @cjungle, and then we'll start brainstorm. @the_curioscity will be there to moderate the discussion and ask follow up questions. @the_curioscity came up with this incredible idea for a brainstorm #citychat.
It's easy to join the Twitter chat. Just follow #citychat on Twitter from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, October 18th. Even if you don't have a Twitter account, you can watch the conversation unfold here.

#citychat No. 4: Is equity a model for economic growth? August 16, 2012, 3:00 pm, @MITCoLab
#citychat is a collaborative Twitter conversation about cities. Join "Is equity a model for economic growth?" on Thursday, August 16th, at 3:00 p.m. EST. @MITCoLab will host a Twitter chat on equity as a growth model in the United States. @MITCoLab will interview @PolicyLink on:
- The relationship between equity and growth
- How demographic change impacts our economic future
- Key strategies for growing the U.S. economy
This #citychat is a chance to delve in to PolicyLink's recent report, America's Tomorrow: Equity as the Superior Growth Model, which argues:
An-equity-driven growth model would bring together two agendas that have traditionally been separate: the agenda to grow new jobs and bolster long-term competitiveness, and the agenda to ensure that all – especially low-income people and people of color – have the opportunity to benefit from and co-create that growth.
Come to this #citychat with your ideas; your opinions; and examples of unique, emerging, and local strategies for economic growth.

Cooperative Development Intensive: New Directions in Worker Cooperative Development June 22, 2012, 8:00-5:00 pm, Beginning in Room 3-270
With interest in worker cooperatives coming from all directions - community groups, cooperative developers, immigrant communities, unions, cities, community economic development organizations, and everyday people wanting to own and control their own businesses - now is the time to continue the national conversation on worker cooperative development. Our aim is a multifaceted and critically appreciative conversation that addresses the deeper issues both animating and challenging worker cooperative development in 2012. Participants will emerge with a richer understanding of the landscape of worker cooperative development and a critical analysis of some development models. We are bringing together cooperative developers, organizers, academics, policymakers, and people who work in worker cooperatives to advance a conversation on "how to move boldly, effectively, and coherently toward establishing a cooperative economy."
This daylong intensive continues the ongoing development discussion started by GEO at the Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy in 2011. It will pick up on five major themes emerging from that discussion: (1) Growth (2) Accountability (3) Funding (4) Diversity (5) Documenting Successful Practices

Global Niche Markets and Local Development: Fairtrade Farmer Organizations in Paraguay's Sugar Industry May 18, 2012, 12:00-2:00 pm, CoLab, Room 7-307
Join us for a brown bag lunch discussion with Gustavo Setrini, MIT Political Science Department
Do third-party certifications like Fairtrade support processes of inclusive local economic and social development within the global economy?
Critics have implicated globalization in rising levels of inequality and various forms of social and environmental injustice. In response, coalitions of activists and business have crafted third-party certification systems like Fairtrade. This research evaluates Fairtrade as a mechanism for local development using case studies of two Fairtrade and organic-certified sugarcane farmer cooperatives in Paraguay. Despite their very similar socio-economic characteristics, the two organizations have experienced markedly different success in harnessing Fairtrade and organic export markets for local development. The comparison reveals the enduring importance of local institutions in the global economy and suggests the need for a renewed focus on the problems of local governance in global supply chains.
Gustavo Setrini holds a Ph.D. from the Political Science Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he currently serves as research director for the Puerto Rico Economy Project. His primary research interests include agriculture, globalization and the political economy of sustainable development. In addition to his work on Fairtrade, Gustavo's research has examined the effectiveness of donor-funded, NGO-led development projects to promote sustainable agricultural techniques among poor farmers and to alleviate poverty by integrating small farmers into global supply chains.

Although Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters, it is used for diverse purposes such as professional networking, public participation in planning, coordinating public protests, urban revitalization, and promoting causes and businesses.
Whether you are a Twitter newbie or social media expert, join us for an interactive discussion about several dimensions of this system. Short presentations will cover the following topics:
- Twitter technical basics and etiquette
- The Twitter Universe: How to find useful news, information, and people
- Twitter for Planning: Models for public engagement and outreach for planners and organizations
- Tweet Yourself a Job: Personal branding, networking, and scholarly communication
The event will include time for questions and discussion. Please contact us (Alexa or Rob) if you have any requests for topics to cover.

Whose city? Redevelopment and Governance in Boston March 1, 2012, 7:30 pm
Speaker: Patricia Molina Costa
PhD candidate, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
Research Fellow, Community Innovators Lab, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, MIT.
Location: RCC Conference Room, Real Colegio Complutense, Harvard University, 26 Trowbridge Street (corner of Harvard Street), Cambridge MA 02138
This research explores the challenges and opportunities of the community-based redevelopment model in a neoliberal economic context. Drawing on a review of the history and theories of redevelopment and governance in the U.S., it analyzes the particular case of Jackson Square, a community-led redevelopment process in a low-income neighborhood between Roxbury and Jamaica Plain, in Boston. In an area that was razed for the construction of a failed highway project in the late 1960s, a partnership of community development corporations (CDCs) and private developers are struggling to implement a plan that was defined through a public participation process.
The Jackson Square case is a paradigmatic example of a highly democratic decision-making process that resulted in a community vision for a distressed area. However, despite ideal community engagement and development by community-based nonprofit organizations, the project is being seriously delayed and downgraded due to an economic recession, while the community is not mobilizing to defend their vision and ask for much-needed public support.
Given the structural inequalities engendered by the neoliberal economic system, and the government's retreat from leading the revitalization of distressed neighborhoods, this research questions the present ability of community-led processes to achieve their goals. Through a critical analysis of the role that each group involved is playing, this thesis aims to contribute to the improvement of the community-led redevelopment model in a way that enhances the creation of a more just city.

Instructor: Larry Susskind - email@example.com
DUSP, mostly because of Professor Donald Schon, is identified with the concept of reflective practice. We will discuss excerpts from Schon's writing, talk about our own personal theories of practice and compare notes on how we learn from field-based experience. Participants will be asked to describe an episode from their own work that was important to the development or revision of their personal theory of planning practice. We will also discuss ways in which DUSP can do more to help students formulate, test and revise personal theories of practice.

11.S953 Action Research: What is it and Why is it Important to DUSP Students and Faculty? Jan 11th, 2012 (Wed), 10am-4pm, 1-3 credits depending on student's commitment to writing assignment, Room TBA
Instructor: Larry Susskind - firstname.lastname@example.com
Action Research is an approach to question asking and answering that puts a premium on directly engaging the subjects and users of applied social science research. It does not adhere to social science conventions regarding ways of knowing that put a barrier between the researcher and the people and places they seek to help. Action Research is not concerned about the replicability of research findings in the same way that natural science is. The legitimacy of Action Research findings comes primarily from the contributions its adherents make to facilitating successful action by people and communities as they seek to address the problems they face in their everyday lives.

text: We have recently moved here from the north and were keen to find a friendly, welcoming restaurant. Three weeks ago we visited Emile's and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food was excellent and service first class. Emile was very friendly and made us feel like a valued customer. Looking back, he approached us because he thought he knew us and, even though we said it was our first visit, he was so friendly. I do think a little personal service makes a huge difference. This evening we returned, feeling sure we wou.d have an equally enjoyable evening. Our waitress was lovely, very attentive. We were disappointed with the ambience. It was very noisy, one group of four being very annoying. Emile made a great effort to chat to those people he knew as regulars but absolutely ignored those who obviously did not fit that bill. This included us as we were blanked. All it takes is a few words to make a customer feel valued. I feel disappointed that we left feeling undervalued and will not be returning. A pity as the food is good and the staff very attentive but my husband and I both felt second class diners. We could have been long term regulars but will now dine elsewhere.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Danelle!
Facts about Danelle
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Danelle's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
For more information on this dog or to request an application, please email email@example.com.
We're shooting for better photos soon but here is Danelle. She is a sociable little love of a pup who loves attention!!! Good with other dogs, not house trained (she's a puppy, she'll learn), and has so much potential. Needs the right home to give her lots and lots and lots of love. For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Rescue a forever friend!
About our adoption process: For more information or to request an adoption application (required), please contact the dog's foster listed above. There is no commitment by submitting the application - it just helps us determine if the pet you are interested in will be a good match for you. Next is a meet and greet at one of our adoption events - typically held on Saturdays at the Petsmart in Chandler, AZ (Ray Rd & I-10). Not every pet is at every event so please contact us first to find out when and where you can meet the pet you are interested in. If there are other dogs in your household, we suggest bringing them to ensure everyone gets along. The standard adoption fee for dogs and puppies is $140 (cash or check) which includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, microchip and collar/tags.
Other Pets at Benji's Buddies Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Danelle, a Chandler Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Chandler, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Chandler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandler already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chandler breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandler paves the way for another one to be saved.

VHT Flameproof Coatings
VHT FlameProof Coating will renew and extend the life of any surface exposed to extremely high temperatures. This unique coating is a matte finish, ceramic base silicone widely used by the automotive industry on exhaust systems and the aerospace industry for jet engines, re-entry vehicles, the Stealth fighter, B-2 bomber and other high temperature applications. Will withstand 1500F.
1. Prepare metal surfaces by removing all dirt, rust, scale, and paint. This can be accomplished by sandblasting or with fine sand paper. To remove paint we recommend the VHT Strip Fast Aggressive Paint Remover (SP-575).Clean all skin oils and residue with a high grade solvent.
2. Mark areas not to be sprayed. Also protect surrounding area from overspray.
3. For best results, apply when parts, can, and ambient temperature is between 70F (21C) and 90F (35C).
4. For maximum adhesion and color consistency, we recommend VHT FlameProof Primer (SP-118) within 24 hours of exposing bare metal.
5. Shake can vigorously for one minute after mixing ball rattles. Shake periodically between coats.
6. Spray object with can upright about 15 inches from the object. More thin coats are better than fewer thick coats. After a sufficient quantity of paint to color only. Excessively thick paint is not recommended as it will cause blistering. If paint runs or sags, it is easily removed with a strong solvent before curing. VHT FlameProof Coating will air dry in 15-30 minutes.
7. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT- After paint is completely dry, it must be cured to substantially increase the durability of the finish and enhance chemical resistance. See curing for details.
8. Clear out sprayer after each use by turning can upside down and pressing spray button until no paint comes out.
Off the Vehicle:
Bake at 250F for 30 minutes, then let cool for 30 minutes. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes, then let cool for 30 minutes. Bake at 600F for 30 minutes, then let cool for 30 minutes. Caution: Do not exceed the heat tolerance of least heat tolerant part. Finish is not chemical resistant until cured.

On a Scale From 1 to Slutty…
…How would you rate your most scandalous moment? From women who lost their virginity to their best friend's dad (yikes!), to a couple who did the deed during "Spy Kids 3D," check out College Candy's list of the sluttiest things people have ever done. Share your sluttiest moment by commenting below (no worries -- we never judge!).
The Way to a Better BJ
So, we know you're totally the goddess of oral sex already, but while you give a killer blow job -- sometimes you have a hard time, um, stomaching the aftertaste. One blogger took this sticky issue into her own hands and devised a plan to make doing this naughty deed…tastier. Learn her awesome -- and possibly yummy -- idea on The Gloss.
Choose Your Post-Wedding Sex Partner Wisely
Being a single girl and a bridesmaid can sometimes make the lovey-dovey wedding a little difficult. Instead of singin' the blues (or taking out another gal for that bouquet) -- challenge yourself with a different task: having a fun, no-strings-attached one night stand. The Frisky tells you the best (and the worst!) guys to shack up with at a wedding.
Pancakes or Sex? Choose one.
That sweet smell of fresh-off-the-griddle pancakes can be irresistible in the morning, but if you were given the choice of pouring syrup on a stack of pancakes or dousing it all over your man in bed, which would you choose? For a third of women, their stomachs growl louder than their orgasms. Check out the study results on MSNBC.
Mood Music
For all your different romp moods: knockin' boots, makin' love or just having a blissful lazy sex session in the twilight hours of the morning, there's a song to match your sex style. See The Nerve's list of the 50 Greatest Seduction Songs of All Time, here.
Need an excuse to jet off to Brazil this weekend (um, yes please!)? A spontaneous, yet classy, international trip may do more for you than just provide a relaxing vacation -- you might just come back sexier! A new study by Ask Men shows that more men are attracted to a woman who travels. So forget the gym, and hit the skies! The world -- and your future man -- awaits.

Turkey has accepted an official apology from Israel over the treatment of its ambassador, with the Israeli prime minister expressing the hope it would end the latest row between the two countries.
Danny Ayalon, Israel's deputy foreign minister, embarrassed Oguz Celikkol, the Turkish envoy, on Monday, making him sit on a low couch and removing the Turkish flag from the table in a meeting called to convey Israeli protests over a Turkish television series.
A statement from the office of the Israeli prime minister on Wednesday said: "Prime minister [Binyamin] Netanyahu, together with foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman co-ordinated the apology letter sent by deputy foreign minister Ayalon to the Turkish ambassador and hopes this would end the affair."
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's prime minister, said that his country had received the apology it "wanted and expected" from Israel over the dressing down of its ambassador.
"I was told that we received the response that we wanted and expected in diplomatic terms," Erdogan told reporters at the airport after returning from a visit to Russia. "The letter includes an expression of apology," he said.Ambassador threat
Abdullah Gul, the Turkish president, deemed an earlier Israeli apology on Wednesday as insufficient and threatened to recall his ambassador unless a formal apology was made by the end of the day.
"Unless they make up for it by this evening, our ambassador will return on the first plane tomorrow to hold consultations," Abdullah Gul, the Turkish president, was quoted as saying by the country's NTV news channel.
After Wednesday's official apology, Netanyahu "again expressed his concern over the cooling of the ties between Israel and Turkey" and instructed officials "to find ways to prevent this trend," the statement from his office said.
The series that sparked the latest row between the two countries was a Turkish television drama, called The Valley of the Wolves, which Israel says depicts Israeli security forces as kidnapping children and shooting old men.
That followed a drama aired on Turkish state television last October that appeared to portray Israeli soldiers shooting a Palestinian baby at close range.
Ayalon had summoned Celikkol on Monday to express Israel's displeasure over The Valley of the Wolves.
At the beginning of the conversation with the Turkish envoy, the deputy foreign minister told cameramen in Hebrew: "Pay attention that he is sitting in a lower chair ... that there is only an Israeli flag on the table and that we are not smiling."
The row came ahead of a planned visit by Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, to Turkey on Sunday.

@NathanG - I'm not an expert, but I do work in the utilities industry. We have things called transformers which are used to step up and step down electrical currents.
They use inductive reactance to do this. As the article correctly states, when you have two or more of these types of circuits close together, you wind up with fluctuations in the voltage.
Transformers exploit this tendency by using those fluctuations to increase or decrease the voltage as needed. Of course, you can buy smaller transformers from an electronics store and experiment with the technique on a scaled down level.
You have probably used transformers if you've traveled overseas and needed to step down their voltage so that it would work correctly with your appliances that use only 110 volts, alternating current.

text: Shelve your opinions about Ashton Kutcher's wigga -- frat-boy persona, his romance with Demi Moore, his questionable acting abilities, and recognize this: Punk'd: The Complete First Season is a subversive slice of comic hilarity. It's not the conceit -- the hidden-camera genre is twice as old as Kutcher himself -- but the show's mix of celebrity access and celebrity schadenfreude that perfectly captures the obsessions of our reality-addled zeitgeist. Better yet, hidden among the expertly executed pranks and embarrassing slips (Justin Timberlake nearly cries, Kelly Osbourne cusses out her mother, Stephen Dorff walks out on a check) is a sharp critique of the hollow Hollywood scene. Kutcher is fearless, tempting the stars with free drinks and designer duds, and then exposing their flaws with pranks that aim for the jugular. EXTRAS Deleted scenes and unreleased bits are below average, and the commentary from Kutcher and sidekick Dax Shepard is merely grating.

Bought this to keep the natives happy and the more expensive single malts under lock and Key , surprisingly this whisky was very pleasant to the point of opening the malts and having a tasting session
25th November 2014
I used to drink this every day when I was 17'ish, on the beach, with some coke gently served on Pepsi carton pints, shared with friends and endless nights of summer. Just for the bond i got to it I give him 5 stars.
3rd October 2014
On a Cruise recently we called at Gibralter on the way back to Southampton.The first shop we came to on the way to the centre was selling High Commissioner Whisky for £4.50 a litre.Had to buy a bottle at this price.It's great value and tastes good.
21st August 2014
this whisky benefits from a few drops of water,smooths out the wrinkles,takes on a "Teacher's" quality.Certainly not the worst bottle you'll ever have.£17 per litre,who's complaining?
5th June 2014
Changed my opinion now.This is the one i want and look to drink always.
26th January 2014
For the money this has to be a bargain. Not the most subtle of whiskies but does not disappoint.
17th January 2014
I had to give it 4 stars for the quality for the price. Its very pleasant and smooth to drink. It is better than many costing more. Its worth a try for the money. I saw it today in Iceland would you believe for £13. Johnny Norfolk.
6th December 2013
From time to time I drink blended whiskies (basically if I can't be bothered to go to the more distant shop to get Macallan) and I thought this was really pretty good. It doesn't have the sort of nasty twang after taste of Famous Grouse, not that weird immediate taste of Bells, and the 70cl I bought was only £13. Perfectly reasonably to drink straight.
16th November 2013
First time that i bought and its really nice
13th October 2013
Morrisons is 15.99 a litre tgink al try it
4th October 2013
Sorry, missed off the rating!
15th September 2013
I was given an almost full litre bottle of this recently as the person that purchased it didn't like it,.
I was expecting it to be a rough, burning type Scotch, but have to say it beats most of the well known blends hands down.
Ok, it's no single malt, but I will definitely buy some when this bottle runs out, which will be sooner rather than later!
A richt gweed tipple.Nae bad ata fan ye consider how chep it iz.Aye,well worth the coppers
27th August 2013
wouldn't clean an engine with this vile beverage. Remove it from the market quickly before someone becomes realy ill
A really good smooth whiskey with a pleasant aftertaste. Remarkable for the price. My first choice every time. I only wished that more pubs would stock it.
13th June 2013
Not bad at all. Smooth. Clear defined taste. Definitely better than some other blends I had tried.
12th May 2013
This one will go under if minimum pricing becomes law.....do us a favor!!!!
3rd May 2013
A Surprisingly nice whisky at the price.
1st November 2012
This is the most worthless whiskey I ever tasted.
22nd October 2012
has a distinct rawness that I find more enjoyable than a smooth whisky.
13th September 2012
been recently to myanmar and cambodia. hc was the only good drink we could find. the price is very reasonable, the taste is brilliant.
18th March 2012
More class than it's price and awful label suggest. One of the better budget blends.
27th October 2011
Smooth taste, and nice effects. Will be the right choice.
It's worth it. real Whisky taste
15th February 2011

DH watches baby for a few hours when he gets home so I can take a nap... I do all of the overnight care when DH has to work the next day.
Housework and cooking is no different from before baby, except that maybe DH does a little more than he used to since I'm constantly holding/entertaining/nursing/cleaning/changing the baby. I wear LO in my ergo carrier and get a little done during the day, and whatever doesn't get done is either left as-is or done by DH. Some days I clean up and the house looks great when DH gets home, and some days I barely had time to clean up after myself and there is baby stuff everywhere or dishes of my own that I didn't have time to pick up.
I've been on leave for 9 weeks and it hasn't been until the past 2 weeks that I've been able to cook dinner before DH gets home on most days.. I usually start prepping things earlier in the day when LO naps, so that I can just throw it together at the last minute while DH drives home.
Luckily, my DH understands that the baby needs constant attention.. and he has no problem with me being home all day just to take care of the baby since he's a full time job on his own at this age.

Warner Park Nature Center and Warner Parks are ideal sites to view many species of wildlife. Crepuscular hours (dawn and dusk) are especially active times for viewing diverse populations of mammals, amphibians and birds. Warblers and many other neotropical migrants may be seen or heard in early spring and fall. The backporch is a wonderful spot to observe hundreds of hummingbirds during fall migration. American toads, chorus frogs and spring peepers can be heard calling in late winter and spring; the Teaching Pond on the Nature Center Campus provides the perfect environment for listening and observing amphibians and reptiles throughout the year.
Mammals are abundant year-round, with white-tailed deer spotted regularly along with eastern cottontail rabbits, gray squirrels, eastern chipmunks, and coyotes.
If you aren't sure what you saw, or maybe you ARE sure and want to tell someone about it, please stop by the Nature Center and ask to speak to a naturalist. We can often help you identify wildlife and make note of it in our records.
To learn more about Tennessee's wildlife, visit TWRA's new Watchable Wildlife website.
Please remember that collecting, taking, hunting or harassing any wild animal within Warner Parks is strictly prohibited. Fishing is permitted at Willow Pond and the Little Harpeth River with a valid Tennessee Fishing License.
The Important Bird Areas Program (IBA), directed by BirdLife International and coordinated in the Americas by National Audubon Society, is a global effort to identify and conserve areas that are vital to birds and other biodiversity.
IBAs are key sites for conservation – small enough to be conserved in their entirety and often already part of a protected-area network. To qualify as an Important Bird Area, sites must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

Scouts and other outdoor enthusiasts can learn or practice their map and compass skills on the Edwin Warner Park Map and Compass Course. Classes are regularly offered as public programs or may be scheduled by contacting the Nature Center. Edwin Warner Map and Compass
Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online. Thanks to a permitted member of the Middle Tennessee Geocachers Club, Warner Parks has several hidden "treasures" within its boundaries!

Hotel Amic Miraflores ***
"Good choice for young couples"My husband and I stayed in Miraflores in August 2013, for our honeymoon. For those who look for good value for money hotels, Miraflores is an excellent choice. The staff is really friendly, the hotel is clean and the location is great, about 300 feet from the beach. Our meals were served in hotel Gala, right across the street (the food was really amazing). The room was rather spaceous (especially the bathroom) and pleasant, although very hot, so we had to use the air condition most of the time. I would definitely recommend the hotel to those who prefer a quiet and relaxing vacation.

Hi, my name is Adam Luftig, welcome to my electronic portfolio! I am an IMC or integrated marketing communication major, and I will be graduating in spring of 2015.
In the four weeks that I have spent attending S'park at Park School Of Communications, I have learned 5 very interesting pieces of information. I learned is that if you are going to be spending many hours a day on something, it is important that you love whatever it is you are doing. I have discovered while watching a 30 minute television program, you get 22 minutes of content, and 8 minutes of commercial advertisements. Employing women as producers, directors, writers, and other professions will decrease the difference in pay between men and women working in the media industry. Internships pay with a salary of real life work experience that in some cases is much more valuable than money because it could potentially create a lifelong business relationships. Last but certainly not least, I stayed in the Park auditorium after S'park was over for the week to ask a question, and I learned that even Bill D'Elia, a prestigious producer, writer, and director, lives with regrets based on past decisions in his career. Everyone is a human being, no matter how much success or failure, and no one is perfect.
Please have a look at the rest of my profile by clicking any of the tabs on the left hand side of my profile. Thank you and have a great day!

Nishio Upsets Patrick in
The strong and talented Katie Patrick was not quick enough to stay with a very fit and tenacious Mami Nishio in the quarter-finals of the Women's Subway Goshen Squash Open in Indiana, USA.
Nishio, the fifth seed from Japan, romped to a 9-2, 9-3, 9-7 win over the third-seeded Canadian in just 27 minutes – and will now face another Canadian for a place in the WISPA World Tour event's final.
Alana Miller, the top seed from Winnipeg, needed 42 minutes to get the better of eighth seed Jenny Wright, of Wales, in a 9-6, 9-7, 9-4 scoreline. Jenny Wright and Alana Miller played tight squash with excellent depth in the first two games. Wright went up 7-4 in the second, and although she served four times with seven in hand, she was unable to close the game. Wright looked coordinated and smooth. She challenged well throughout, but Milller's strength and experience was apparant as she finished 9-6, 9-7, 9-4 in 42 minutes.
The other semi-final will be an Irish/Indian affair. Aisling Blake, the second seed from Sligo, defeated Japan's Chinatsu Matsui 9-0, 9-1, 9-10, 9-6. Chinatsu Matsui started out cold and nervous with tins and missteps as a confident and focused Aisling Blake won the first two games at one and love. The second game was a see-saw, barn burner with four game balls and two match balls saved before Chinatsu held on to take it 10-9. Aisling appeared to be devastated in the fourth as she quickly went down 0-6 in seven short rallies, but fatigue and nerves got the better of Chinatsu. Aisling steadied her resolve and won 11 of the next 12 rallies and the match 9-0, 9-1, 9-10, 9-6 in 48 minutes.
In the final quarter, Chennai-based Joshna Chinappa, the third seed, beat Canadian Tara Mullins 9-1, 9-3, 9-10, 9-3, with too much variety and deception for Mullins.
