Today, though, Massawa exudes a languid small-town atmosphere. After a meal of buttery red snapper from an outdoor restaurant's tandoori oven, we wander the narrow, sandy alleyways. Crows caw above the palm trees. "Allah-u-akbar" rises from the spires. Women in colored robes braid each other's hair and slow-cook coffee on little braziers. "Want a braid?" one asks. Another invites us into her house, a beautiful, two-story coral structure. She looks at the second floor ceiling and throws up her hands; it is blasted away. "But I'm lucky," she says with a soft smile, indicating her still-intact rooms. Beyond the broken arches, the moon rises behind a silver filigree of clouds.
"You're driving to Aseb?"
Our Eritrean friends' eyebrows are raised in disbelief—but also approval. Eritrea is small, but most people here have never driven down the coast to its southernmost port. This is partly because, until recently, there wasn't a drive to be made. The coastal road was completed this year and it requires an SUV. For us it also requires two guides—one who speaks English and Tigrinya, and another who speaks Tigrinya and Afar, the local language. Abandoning thoughts of hotels, phones, restaurants, or toilets, we set off down the elephant's trunk for a two-day journey through Dankalia, billed as one of the hottest and most inhospitable regions on earth.
It is also one of the most spectacular. If it sounds shocking to be able to find 750 miles of untouched coastline anywhere in the world, it is all the more so when that coastline is graced with white sand beaches, limpid water, green cliffs inhabited by baboons and eagles, and pristine coral reefs that shimmer with tropical fish. Every half-hour the horizon transforms itself; a windswept desert dotted with camels and acacia trees gives way to a grassy yellow plain populated by ostriches and then to a stark lavascape that spills down to the sea, its blackened peaks rising in sharp relief against the turquoise water.
Afar villages consist of a few twig huts. The men fish and the women tend to children and livestock, dressed in the vibrant sarongs their ancestors wore. But if the war didn't have much obvious effect here, the new road will. Resorts are planned for some of the most beautiful coastal spots, and some villagers have already moved their huts from the beaches to the roadside in anticipation of the traffic that will arrive. Ishmael, a village leader who wears a loincloth and a thick, curved dagger at his hip, also wears mirrored sunglasses and has opened a "café" along the road. For now, it sells only Coke, and the cars that pass each day can probably be counted on one hand, but the entrepreneurial spirit is willing.
In Beylul, an oasis of palms, we stop to buy douma, a sweet, fermented palm liquor, sold by boys who tap it from the trees. In a spot called Askoma, we swim at an otherworldly crossing of volcano and sea. In a small hut in the stark desert village of Soroito, we drink hot tea with three generations of Afar women. Twenty-year-old Aisha, a slim girl whose smooth cheeks are striped with ceremonial scars and whose front teeth are filed into sharp points, stands with a year-old baby slung on one arm as we talk.
I ask Aisha and her mother whether they are worried about their traditional way of life being lost when the resorts come. They shake their heads emphatically, saying the resorts will bring jobs. I don't like to imagine Aisha in a crisp maid's uniform. Still, I get the feeling that the Afar, a fiercely independent group known to make good use of their daggers, will not be pushovers for the arriving visitors. When I ask what message they'd like to send to outsiders, a sweet old woman begins a speech that soon becomes a diatribe. Our translator turns to us. "She says white people always come here with their cameras and notebooks and ask questions. They always promise to send the pictures to us but they never do. My message to them is to stop coming here to take pictures if they're not going to send them." The translator adds, "She's right."
We finish our tea. Aisha kisses my hand and I kiss hers. We take a few pictures, and promise to send them.

When i break up with my exboyfriend I have a little depression. I stay up all night, don't eat anything & search like a fool for love – yes on the internet – I have some boys where I thought i was in love with, but everytime I was crying with that boy about my ex. The last boy leaves me alone on a festival (pukkelpop 2011) after the deadly storm. I was talking to a boy on the internet before the festival about school. When the other boy leaves me alone on the festival, that boys sends me private message online like "are you okay?" and stuff. But I gave up on love and talk with the boy about it. A week after the festival I met the boy in the real life & there was something between us. 2 days later I was on my way to the beach on my own to a boy who I see for 1 time. & on that day, he kissed me in a storm with rain & thunderlights. It was a perfect start of a perfect relationship. We have a lots of downs but we survived. We're a strong couple. I love him & i will fight for him whatever it takes

Beer Reviews (3)
Restaurant Reviews (0)
Let me first say, the food here is amazing. Worth going to just for dinner... though a little on the pricy side (2 beers, 2 apps, 2 dinners, 1 desert = 125$). To get a feel of the croud, most people, at this brewery, were drinking wine with dinner... strange.
Beer wise, it was ok.
I had the IPA. It was good, but not great. The best IPA I've tried in NJ so far, but nothing to write home about. The wife had their wheat, and it was COMPLEX in flavor. Banana, bubble gum, other flavors. complex flavor, but still missing something (maybe just not our taste). They normally have 6 beers on tap (2 are pilsners, and avoided like the plague by us), and 2 were all out... they had run out of the red, and they are no longer making their stout. I'm a big stout fan, so I was a little disapointed.
So, great food, great service, the dessert, a chocolate brownie with a scoop of homemade peanut butter rocky road ice cream, was fantastic, great piece of tuna, try the crab and potato hash... beer, its ok, nothing to write home about.
As for food, it was ok. However, my wife's salad came with a stick in it, and the waiter spilled my food all over me.
If you like bud, and want to try a step up, this is the place for you. If you like good, unwatered down, flavorful beers, this place is a waste and I suggest avoiding it.
They have four of their own beers on tap, and numerous others. We ordered a sampler and this is what I found.
They first have a Czec style pilsner, which you may have well ordered a bud light. They taste exactly the same. No complexity to the flavor, just that nasty everyday beer taste.
They next had a light ale, which was just lacking any flavor. It was a little heavier, but there was nothing to the taste. It was bland, no hops... just not worth it.
Next lightest is their IPA. Now, go to any brewery in VT or CO and order an IPA, and you will get an idea of the flavor. Even a Harpoon (Boston MA) or a Sierra Nevada (CA) will tell you what they should taste like. We drink this beer most frequently. There was no hop flavor. It was, as the other 2, bland, incomplex. Not worth drinking.
The darkest beer they had was a hefenwiezen. This beer actually had a complex flavor, the only problem, the over all flavor was just not good. You could taste the fruits and such in it, but it just came out in a bad flavor.
I am truly disappointed with this brewery. I highly suggest that anyone who believes that these beers are "awesome" try a beer readily available in a supermarket from such as Long Trail Unfiltered IPA (VT) or Boulder Beer Co.'s Hazed and Infuzed (CO).

Exclusive to the Mirage Studio comics, Bloodsucker was a normal leech until Donatello, Leonardo and Michaelangelo decided to use it to get back at Raphael who had been disobeying Splinter and stalled their training. Raphael was afraid of leeches so the other Turtles decided to force Raphael to let the leach suck on his blood. Bloodsucker sucked some of the mutagen out of Raphael and Raphael started to de-evolve back to a normal pet turtle. Bloodsucker started to evolve into a human-kid-of-a-thing. Bloodsucker latersucked the rest of Raphael's mutagen. The other Turtles decided to capture Bloodsucker so they could get the mutagen back to Raphael. Finally, they found Bloodsucker and started fighting it. During the battle Raphael (who looked like a normal pet turtle at this point) started biting Bloodsucker thus draining the stolen mutagen back.

Pizza Face is a pizza maker and an enemy of the Ninja Turtles.
In the toyline, Pizzaface is Shredder's crazed culinary creator. Pizzaface had a plan to become the most powerful pizza chef ever. So he zapped himself in his Retro-Mutagen Oven hoping the energy would bake him with badness. But the hungry Ninja Turtles burst into the parlor and pulled Pizzaface out. Now this half-baked bozo wants to get even with the Turtles for foiling his formula. The effects of the Retro-Mutagen Oven had enabled Pizzaface to control anything pizza-related.
Possessing the power of the pizza pie, Pizzaface is the ultimate Turtle nightmare: traveling from parlor to parlor, he terrorizes the Turtles, trying to turn them into tasty teen topping. Armed with flying pizzas and a Pizza Box Shield, this peg-legged pizza piper follows the Foot Clan, even though he's only got one good leg. And what's worse? He delivers.
In the 2012 TV series, Antonio (voiced by John DiMaggio in an Italian accent) was a pizza chef who ran Antonio's Pizza. He became a mutant pizza after he ingested mutagen thinking that it would be a good pizza topping. Pizza Face looks like a pepperoni and mushroom pizza with arms, a mouth, and eyes made of pepperoni. Pizza Face can control different pizzas into coming to life and attaching itself to its victims in a zombie-like state in order to control it. When Michelangelo goes to Antonio's Pizza to get his money back, he finds the other victims of Pizza Face as he is attacked by them. Upon returning to the lair, Michelangelo finds that his fellow Turtles and Splinter have become affected as Michelangelo fights off Pizza Face's pizzas. Michelangelo ends up interrogating one of Pizza Face's pizzas to find out who he works for. The pizza ends up telling Michelangelo about Pizza Face's origin and plans to feed off them. After putting the pizza into the freezer with Ice Cream Kitty, Michelangelo infiltrates Antonio's Pizza restaurant where Pizza Face is starting to make the humans into calzones for him to feed off of. Michelangelo confronts Pizza Face (who actually liked being called that) and ends up fighting the pizza-controlled Turtles until he ends up trapped in Pizza Face's cheese. Upon eating his way out of the cheese, Michelangelo fights his way past Pizza Face's victims where he ends up swallowed up by Pizza Face only to eat himself up. Michelangelo threatens Pizza Face to free his victims or else. Pizza Face does what Michelangelo does as every one he brainwashed is freed. Even though it seemed like a nightmare to Michelangelo, it turns out that Pizza Face's slice had survived and is hiding out in one of the pizza boxes.
Sandstorm is a mutant dromedary and an ally of the Ninja Turtles.
Scrag is a member of Rocksteady and Bebop's gang in the 80's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. In his later appearances, he had the appearance of a mutant bat.
Scrag also appeared in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics that were published by Archie Comics.
Scrag's name came from a coloring book that featured the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters.
Scratch is a mutant cat with a prisoner motif and is one of Shredder's mutant allies.
Scratch appeared as a boss in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue.
Jail Bird is a mutant bird who is Scratch's sidekick.

Hallocat was originally the cat of a trucker until he fell into the mutagen.
Nevermore the Scarecrow was originally a crow until it got exposed to mutagen.
Nocturno the Owl was originally an owl until it got exposed to mutagen.
Verminator-X is a mutant cyborg cat who is exclusive to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures" comics. In the future, Manx is the apprentice of Donatello. However, Manx begins augmenting his body with cybernetics, which causes him to grow insane. He then allies with the Shredder and Armaggon. Verminator-X made one last attempt to destroy the TMNT and allied himself with Craniac. He is only apparent in the future timelines, and eventually has a Catharsis in a controversial book in which Raphael is willing to kill him for the greater good, resulting in destroying the machine that had taken-over and poisoned Verminator's mind. At the end of this arc, ultimately Verminator survives and becomes the heroic Manx once again rejoining his friends.
Walkabout is a mutant kangaroo from Australia that wears an eyepatch and specializes in crocodile hunting. His origin was not stated. All that we know is that he came to Manhattan where he met the Ninja Turtles and sided with them in their fight against the Foot Clan.
Kid Kangie is an unidentified mutant who is Walkabout's "Best Buddy."
Wyrm was originally a trashman who slipped and fell into Shredder's trash bin where he mutated into a mutant worm.
Several characters from other comic book series have crossed-over into the TMNT universes. Notable appearances are listed below:
Professor Honeycutt is a scientist from another world than the Turtles whose mind was transferred into his working robot as both were struck by lightning.
As he refused to build a transmat device (a means of teleportation) for the military, he was categorized as a "Fugitoid", a fugutive robot. The character was introduced in a series of strips in the Gobbledygook comics that was later finished in a one off self-titled comic book and then guest starred in the original TMNT issues 5 to 7, and later became a recurring character in the main TMNT comic. He is also a playable character in the brawler game "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up" for the Wii.
This version of the character was taken from the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon in which Fugitoid also made an appearance.
He was confirmed to appear in the new 2012 TV Series.
Miyamoto Usagi is a samurai rabbit and master swordsman from an alternative universe's 16th century Edo Period in Japan, where animals are the dominant species, not humans. He appeared in two episodes of the 1987 series. Usagi Yojimbo is a comic book series created by Stan Sakai starring the ronin hero rabbit, Miyamoto Usagi, which had several crossovers with the TMNT comics; apparently the TV show writers did not understand the distinction and misnamed the character after the comic book.
The character returned for the 2003 animated series with his actual name Miyamoto Usagi, and became a friend and close ally of the turtles, especially developing a strong friendship with Leonardo, since both are swordsmen. Leonardo also ended up in Usagi's dimension when Ultimate Draco scattered the five mutants to different parts of the multiverse.

Tissue grass mats looked awesome on our parade float and they were super easy to use. I actually wish I purchased more. For the price, you can't beat the look of this grass and how much it covers. It crumples if you stand or sit on it so its really just for show (if it gets crumpled though you can easily fluff it back up). Very happy with the purchase!

At The 5th Avenue Theatre this Holiday Season!
Book by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin
Music by Matthew Sklar; Lyrics by Chad Beguelin
Directed by Eric Ankrim; Choreography by Denis Jones
November 30-December 31, 2012
(Thursday, November 1, 2012 - SEATTLE, WA) Buddy the Elf is bringing the North Pole to Seattle this holiday season when ELF - The Musical takes over The 5th Avenue Theatre. Following in a long tradition of phenomenal holiday shows at The 5th, ELF is a magical wintery treat that the whole family can enjoy. Under the direction of Seattle's theatrical superstar Eric Ankrim (in his 5th Avenue directorial debut), a cast of spectacular local talent will bring the denizens of Christmastown to life. This hysterical blockbuster will feature Seattle's singing and dancing wunderkind Matt Owen as Buddy, the iconic Christmas groupie, alongside Broadway's Kendra Kassebaum as his true love, Jovie. Owen and Kassebaum are joined by Broadway vet Kim Huber, and Seattle stars Seán G. Griffin, Allen Fitzpatrick, Cynthia Jones, Nick DeSantis, and Jessica Skerritt, among many others.
ELF - The Musical plays November 30 - December 31, 2012 (press opening December 6) at The 5th Avenue Theatre (1308 5th Ave, Seattle, WA 98101). Tickets (starting at $43.00) may be purchased at http://www.5thavenue.org<http://www.5thavenue.org>, by phone at 206-625-1900, or at the Box Office at 1308 5th Avenue in downtown Seattle.
"The 5th Avenue Theatre has a tradition of producing a spectacular musical treat for families at the holidays" said Executive Producer and Artistic Director David Armstrong. "Whether it's a brand new musical, like A Christmas Story, The Musical, an old favorite, like White Christmas, or something unexpected and magical, like Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, audiences know they can expect something wonderful at The 5th. We know ELF - The Musical will fit perfectly in that tradition of fantastic holiday shows."
Called "a splashy, peppy, sugar-sprinkled holiday entertainment" by the New York Times, ELF - The Musical follows the magical tale of Buddy, a human raised by elves at the North Pole. Buddy sets off to the Big City to find his real dad, and through his unwavering devotion to all things Christmas, he rescues his father from the naughty list, finds true love, and saves Santa and the spirit of Christmas. ELF - The Musical boasts a number of catchy new show tunes, including "Sparklejollytinklejingly," "World's Greatest Dad," "Never Fall in Love (With an Elf)," and "Just Sing."
About the Director
Tacoma native Eric Ankrim is one of the hottest celebrities in Seattle's theater scene at present, and will make his 5th Avenue directorial debut at the helm of ELF - The Musical. Ankrim recently appeared in The 5th's hit production of RENT and served as the show's associate director. He directed the sensational hit Spring Awakening at Balagan Theatre, which was remounted after a completely sold-out initial run. Previously, Ankrim adapted, directed, and starred in Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog (Footlight Award) at Balagan, which was remounted at ACT Theatre. Currently he is directing Avenue Q at Balagan and will soon take on TRAILS at Village Theatre.
"Aside from being a brilliant performer, Eric has made a great name for himself as a director in our Seattle theater community" said Producing Director Bill Berry. "We're thrilled to support his growth and know that he's more than ready to create magic onstage with ELF."
Ankrim takes over the director's chair after several sensational performances on the stage. He starred last season in The 5th's production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and in The 5th Avenue/ACT collaboration, First Date. Other 5th Avenue credits include Into the Woods, The Rocky Horror Show, and Miss Saigon. His dual role in The Gypsy King at Village Theatre was a sensational hit, and he was widely acclaimed for his performance as Peter in Peter Pan at Seattle Children's Theatre.

The talented triple threat Matt Owen stars as Buddy, who is every inch an elf, even at six foot one. No stranger to The 5th Avenue stage, the Edmonds native has performed at the theater previously in roles including Will Parker in Oklahoma!, Chip in On the Town, Older Patrick in Mame, The Soldier in Sunday in the Park, and Ambrose in Hello Dolly. Other regional credits include Yankee Doodle Dandy at TUTS Houston, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at North Shore. As a playwright, Owen's new work titled The Girl in the Park premiered in the 2010 New York Fringe Festival to great acclaim.
Starring opposite Owen as Jovie, is Kendra Kassebaum. She returns to her chosen home, Seattle, to share in the magic of the holidays after performing in Leap of Faith on Broadway. No stranger to magic, Kassebaum originated the role of Glinda in the first national tour of Wicked, played the role on Broadway, and reprised it for a year and half sit-down production at San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre. Other Broadway credits include Assassins (the Broadway, Tony-winning production), RENT, and A Little Night Music. Holiday audiences at The 5th will recognize Kassebaum as the Fairy Godmother in last season's Cinderella. She has also performed at The 5th in productions of The Secret Garden, Company, and A Little Night Music.
Seán G. Griffin takes the stage in ELF as Santa Claus. Truly a member of Seattle's theatrical royalty, Griffin has performed in 150 productions over the last 50 years. At The 5th, he has appeared in Disney's Aladdin, Mame, West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz, Yankee Doodle Dandy, and My Fair Lady. Griffin has worked with all of the professional theaters in Seattle, as well as many major repertory companies across the US, and performed in six Broadway productions. He also has toured nationally and internationally, and has several films, television series, and commercials to his credit.
Allen Fitzpatrick and Kim Huber join the cast as Walter and Emily Hobbs. Fitzpatrick was last seen at The 5th in Damn Yankees as Coach Van Buren, a role he performed on Broadway in 1994 opposite screen legend Jerry Lewis. Other Broadway appearances include Les Misérables, Memphis, 42nd Street, Driving Miss Daisy, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, among others. At The 5th, Fitzpatrick was a hit as Sweeney in Sweeney Todd (Footlight Award), and has appeared in 5th Avenue productions including Titanic, Oklahoma!, and Cinderella, to name a few. He is artistic director of Icicle Creek Theatre Festival. Kim Huber returns to The 5th Avenue stage where she appeared previously as Belle in Beauty and the Beast and Maria in The Sound of Music, as well as roles in Pippin and 1776. She starred on Broadway as Belle in Beauty and the Beast and appeared in the original casts of Sunset Boulevard and Marie Christine.
Noah Barr and Grayson Smith will alternate as young Michael Hobbs. Barr returns to The 5th where he appeared in the children's choir of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Additionally, he has performed in many shows at Studio East in Kirkland, including playing the role of Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka. Smith makes his 5th Avenue debut as Michael Hobbs, and has performed previously around Eastern Washington in productions of Peter Pan, The Sound of Music, and A Christmas Carol.
Cynthia Jones returns to The 5th Avenue stage as the Store Manager. The award-winning actor, singer, and voice-over artist made her 5th Avenue debut in last season's Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella as The Queen. Other regional credits include roles at Seattle Rep, ACT Theatre, Intiman, the Goodman, Arizona Theater Company, and the Mark Taper Forum.
Nick DeSantis and Jessica Skerritt will appear as Mr. Greenway and Deb. DeSantis was most recently seen in Titanic: The Concert at The 5th, as well as in Sunday in the Park with George, Disney's Aladdin, and Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. He has performed many times at Village Theatre and ArtsWest, among others. Skerritt returns to The 5th where she performed previously in Cinderella and Guys and Dolls. She was a hit as Ulla in Village Theatre's recent production of The Producers.
Filling out the Big City and the North Pole as the ensemble are Blaine Boyd, Gabe Corey, Taryn Darr, Sarah Rose Davis, Christian Duhamel, Richard Gray, Charlie Johnson, Nikki Long, Greg McCormick Allen, Trina Mills, Corinna Lapid Munter, Brandon O'Neill, Katherine Strohmaier, Carolyn Willems Van Dijk. The children's ensemble includes Jack Fleischmann, Victoria Alkin, and Emily Brooks. Kirsten deLohr Helland joins the cast as the standby for Jovie.

A friend from work told me about the Alegria brand and said they were incredibly comfortable and I didnt believe it until I actually tried a pair on for myself. They've got a great feel, although the rocker bottom was kind of weird to get adjusted to right away. I'll take pics for you guys once they arrive in the mail!

In June, the Oceana Ranger set sail from the port of Sagunto, Spain for its annual expedition. This year Ranger sailed throughout the western Mediterranean to study the region's seamounts. In addition, Oceana tested the pH level of the Mediterranean for the first time to assess the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on the sea.
Oceana and the Natural Resources Defense Council teamed up to launch a robot to detect underwater oil plumes off the Florida Keys. Nicknamed Waldo, the six-and-a-half-foot robot resembles a yellow torpedo and can relay data in near-real time. Waldo is one of a team of robots from Mote Marine Laboratory, Rutgers University, the University of South Florida and the University of Delaware that are patrolling the waters off Florida's west coast for oil.
Oceana board member Ted Danson testified before the U.S. Senate's Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness in order to urge an end to irresponsible fishing subsidies that contribute to the decline of marine ecosystems. "There's an inextricable link between ocean conservation and global competitiveness," Danson told the subcommittee. "It's quite simple: No fish. No fishermen. No future." Global fisheries subsidies are estimated to be at least $20 billion annually – an amount equivalent to approximately 25 percent of the value of the world's fish catch.
Comedians Angela Kinsey ("The Office") and Rachael Harris ("The Hangover") traveled to Mexico with Oceana to film a PSA about endangered sea turtles. The PSA will debut this fall.
Oceana's 2010 Ocean Hero Award winners were announced. The winner in the adult category was Jay Holcomb, executive director of the International Bird Rescue Research Center, which has taken the lead in cleaning birds affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The winner in the junior category was the Shark Finatics, a group of students from Brewster, New York who have teamed up to support shark conservation.
"Law & Order" star and Oceana board member Sam Waterston testified before a joint hearing of the U.S. Senate's Oversight Subcommittee and the Subcommittee on Water and Wildlife about ocean acidification, an often overlooked consequence of carbon dioxide emissions that could severely harm the oceans.
In May, "Mad Men" star January Jones traveled to Belize to swim with endangered whale sharks for a new "Scared for Sharks" Oceana PSA to be released this fall. Jones dived with a baby whale shark the size of a small bus during the shoot. On the same trip, La Mer also filmed January diving in Belize's amazing coral reefs. La Mer launched a successful social media campaign around the video of this dive for World Oceans Day this year.

Macau, Macao
I am in love with the dress pattern since the first day I received the magazine that my sister in law brought it from Portugal. I used 2 yards of green brocade fabric from my stash.
I chose size 34 for the bodice dress and size 38 for the skirt. I drew a new pattern for the bodice because the minimum size from the original pattern is 36. Then I have to adjust the bodice to the skirt pattern ( I had a vary size between the body and the skirt)
Please head over my blog for more details, pictures and muslin. http://velvetribbonsew.blogspot.com/2013/07/sweetheart-dress-042013.html

Love in the Office:
Office Romance:
Dating in the office: low key
If you are dating a co-worker, one key thing to do is keep it low-key and quiet. Don´t tell people you are dating. There is always the chance you can break up, and you don´t want to go through the aftermath that will bring, if everyone is watching and talking about it and taking sides. It´s best not to tell anyone you are dating until you are really serious about each other, and make the decision to take things public.
Once you do that, people will start to second-guess the way you work together professionally. That´s part of why it´s important that you work in separate departments, with far separate spheres of influence.

If you've tried listening to any of your old CDs lately, if you even own them anymore, you may have noticed they won't play. That's what happened to mine, anyway.
CD players have long since given up on most of the burned mixes I made in college. (In some cases, this is for the best.) And while most of the studio-manufactured albums I bought still play, there's really no telling how much longer they will. My once-treasured CD collection—so carefully assembled over the course of about a decade beginning in 1994—isn't just aging; it's dying. And so is yours.
"All of the modern formats weren't really made to last a long period of time," said Fenella France, chief of preservation research and testing at the Library of Congress. "They were really more developed for mass production."
France and her colleagues are trying to figure out how CDs age so that we can better understand how to save them. This is a tricky business, in large part because manufacturers have changed their processes over the years but won't say how. And so: we know a CD's basic composition—there's a plastic polycarbonate layer, a metal reflective layer with all the data in it, and then the coating on top—but it's impossible to tell just from looking at a disc how it will age.
"We're trying to predict, in terms of collections, which of the types of CDs are the discs most at risk," France said. "The problem is, different manufacturers have different formulations so it's quite complex in trying to figure out what exactly is happening because they've changed the formulation along the way and it's proprietary information."
Even CDs made by the same company in the same year and wrapped in identical packaging might have totally different lifespans. That's what Library of Congress researchers found when they tested twin copies of Paul Winter's Grammy-nominated 1987 album Earthbeat.
The two seemingly identical discs were exposed to extreme heat and humidity in an accelerated-aging machine. They cooked for about 500 hours at 175 degrees and in relative humidity of 70 percent—about what you'd expect on a sweltering July day in New York City, but not quite as humid as a rain forest. One of the CDs emerged relatively unscathed. The other was zapped of its musical data, completely destroyed by oxidation. You can see the ruined CD, which became almost totally transparent, on the right:
"They started out looking exactly the same," France said. "I wish we could definitively say, you know, 'If you have a CD that was manufactured in 1984, that's terrible.' But it's not quite that simple."
If you're willing to part with your old CDs, the library will happily destroy them for you. "In the name of science!" France says. "And just so people know that no library materials are harmed." (Update: A spokeswoman with the Library of Congress asked me to let people know that the center now has a "sufficient supply of CDs for its research and testing.")
The Center for the Library's Analytical Science Samples is a laboratory for destruction, a place where researchers can practice "destructive testing" on non-library materials as a way to learn how best to care for actual library collections. Staffers at the center might opt for more destructive aging tests, like the treatment that Earthbeat suffered, or just let discs age naturally and check in on them every decade or so.
There are all kinds of forces that accelerate CD aging in real time. Eventually, many discs show signs of edge rot, which happens as oxygen seeps through a disc's layers. Some CDs begin a deterioration process called bronzing, which is corrosion that worsens with exposure to various pollutants. The lasers in devices used to burn or even play a CD can also affect its longevity.

Where'd You Go, BernadetteBy: Maria Semple (author)eBook
£5.49Buy eBook
DescriptionThe funniest book I've read in a decade. I laughed to the point of crying on an airplane. My wife thought I'd lost my mind until she read it a few days later' John Green, MARIE CLAIRE 'Maria Semple's witty, engaging novel takes the form of a collage of documents, emails, transcripts, liveblogs, FBI reports and magazine articles, all strung together by Bee Branch, a smart and articulate 15-year-old girl, but beneath this surface playfulness is a fascinating story of one woman's retreat from the world . . . refreshing in its honesty and complexity' OBSERVER 'A novel full of honesty and heart' CNN Bernadette Fox is notorious. To Elgie Branch, a Microsoft wunderkind, she's his hilarious, volatile, talented, troubled wife. To fellow mothers at the school gate, she's a menace. To design experts, she's a revolutionary architect. And to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, quite simply, mum. Then Bernadette disappears. And Bee must take a trip to the end of the earth to find her. WHERE'D YOU GO, BERNADETTE is a compulsively readable, irresistibly written, deeply touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's place in the world.

Through Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) you have the opportunity to receive credit for what you already know and can do. Faculty assess the skills and knowledge acquired through experiential learning against learning outcomes of UFV courses or programs.
In our PLAR process, you work with an advisor and an assessor to:
The first step is to identify academic programs you intend to complete in the short term as well as long term. You can see required courses and often program preferred electives by viewing individual program through the Program Index. While your skills, knowledge and abilities may reflect different courses than your program requires or accepts, in order to be most efficient in your PLAR, keep your focus on program requirements to create an intial list of potential PLAR courses. You can then do an intial self-assessment of your PLAR potential to gage whether you could meet learning outcomes of individual courses by reviewing course outlines. To see more information on intial PLAR steps please see the Student PLAR Steps.
Either a grade (when possible) or Credit (CR)/No Credit (NCR) will be recorded on transcripts.
Students primarily PLAR individual courses that are accepted or required in their program of study. The BA in Adult Education offers program PLAR for students in the BA ADED program. Students complete a 3 credit upper level course where they create an academic credit portfolio in one semester. The following semester they submit the portfolio for assessment and can receive up to 45 PLAR credits towards their BA in ADED. That kind of PLAR credit is listed on a student's transcript as department specific credit that is not course specific. For example: ADED 1xx 16 credits (CR) and ADED 2xx 12 credits (CR). As students do not receive a letter grade for program PLAR credits there is no effect on students' GPA.
Transfer credit is based on successful completion of studies at a post-secondary institution. In order to grant transfer credit, UFV evaluates the academic standards of Canadian or international post secondary institutions and their learning outcomes of courses and programs. Please refer to the Office of the Registrar for further information. To determine whether a course or program may be transferable to UFV courses and programs please refer to the BC Transfer Guide.
Under PLAR, an individual's learning is assessed as opposed to an institution's course or program learning outcomes.
Programs have residency requirements (the number of courses that must be completed at UFV) and credits awarded through PLAR do not necessarily count towards residency.
You will normally pay 75% of the cost of a UFV credit course. Students in the Program PLAR process, in the Adult Education department, pay a flat fee of 75% of 12 credits regardless of how much program PLAR credit they receive.
It depends on your learning and the course you are pursuing for PLAR. The assessment method will determine the length of the process. For example, preparing for a challenge exam will require less time than developing a portfolio.
You should plan your PLAR one semester in advance to pursuing it. Beginning the PLAR process in the earlier stages of your credential will help you plan your academic program more effectively.
To make the PLAR process as smooth as possible, it is important you seek the help of the Educational Advisors in Student Services or your program advisor. We will help you make choices as you plan your academic program and help you access resources at UFV, including resources for prior learning assessment and recognition.
Students can access PLAR reference material through our resource section, your faculty and the UFV Library.
The UFV faculty member who has relevant expertise in the area of your prior learning will assess your PLAR.
Many departments and academic programs across campus have already conducted PLAR assessments. Please take time to review the published course outlines for UFV courses in order to see which PLAR options are available within departments/faculties you would like PLAR credit.
People returning to learning and current UFV students bring a variety of prior learning with them into the university. Adult learners tend to misjudge the quality and underestimate the quantity of their prior learning. Therefore, it is reasonable to claim that almost every incoming UFV student can benefit from developing a portfolio.
Portfolio PLAR is designed to allow for multiple faculties and courses to be represented.
Creating a portfolio helped me to better understand myself, my frame of reference as well as further my career.
I have used parts of my portfolio to demonstrate competencies for job interviews and to explain the benefits of portfolio development to members of my team and organization.

%T Physicochemical characterization of Ayurvedic bhasma (Swarna makshika bhasma): An approach to standardization
%0 Original Article
%J International Journal of Ayurveda Research

%8 April 1, 2010
%X Swarna makshika [SM], a mineral having various therapeutic uses, has been used since long in Ayurveda . The present study was conducted to generate a fingerprint for raw and processed SM using techniques which can be used by pharmacies. Powdered SM was heated in an iron pan by adding lemon juice for 3 days, till liberation of sulfur fumes stopped. Bhasma of this shuddha SM was obtained by triturating it with shuddha gandhaka and lemon juice. It was then subjected to heat in 09* putas, and for firing in each puta, 4 kg cow dung cakes were used. To assure the quality of bhasma, rasa shastra quality control tests like nischandratva, varitara, amla pariksha, etc., were used. After the bhasma complied with these tests, the bhasma was analyzed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis of raw SM and SM bhasma revealed that raw SM contains CuFeS 2 , and SM bhasma contains Fe 2 O 3 , FeS 2 , CuS and SiO 2 . Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) studies showed that the grains in SM bhasma were uniformly arranged in agglomerates of size 1-2 microns as compared to the raw SM which showed a scattered arrangement of grains of size 6-8 microns. It may be concluded that raw SM is a complex compound which gets converted into a mixture of simple compounds having very small particle size after the particular process of marana. This is the first report of fingerprinting of SM bhasma prepared using this particular method.

Don't Lay Curriculum Development on the Teachers' Backs
During a standard, PowerPoint presentation at FETC in Orlando (Jan 31, 2013), Cathie received a hearty, loud "amen" from a teacher in attendance. The amen was in response to Cathie's comment: "Teachers are tired of being told to use computers in their classroom but then given learning activities geared to pencil-and-paper. The assumption is that teachers will, on their own time, just figure it out. No! Teachers need to demand that they be given the right tools to do their job; teachers need to demand that they be given curriculum designed for the computers in their classrooms." In particular, Cathie was referring to mobile computers such as iPads.
Amen--is indeed, an appropriate comment!
Now, there are loads and loads of flash-card type apps and thus translating pencil-and-paper activities directly is doable. And, through word-of-mouth, conferences, etc. teachers often find other apps that are interesting. But frankly, it's a hit or miss situation and creating curriculum is not why teachers went into teaching. While some do find curriculum development interesting, the vast majority of teachers want to work with students--what an idea!
As we have argued till we are blue in the face, the data suggest that when computers (e.g., iPads) are used as supplements--add a few apps to the curriculum--then there is a very high probability that no increase in student achievement will be observed. Yes, student engagement will increase, but that increased engagement opportunity will be squandered because the students are not engaged in a coherent, cohesive, app-enriched lesson that employs the computer as an essential tool.
Developing lessons that are coherent, cohesive, and app-enriched is not a teacher's job--just as Cathie noted. It's time that teachers be provided with curriculum materials (not just lots of disparate content) so they can do their job effectively. I hear an "Amen" again!
Get the Pedagogically Uninteresting Parts Right, Too!
And, speaking of supporting teachers... While Cathie has been saying this till she is blue in the face, Elliot finally "heard" it from the teachers at FETC: if the educational software makes a teacher's life more difficult (e.g., takes more time) then that software will not be used in the classroom no matter how many stars it receives. How about a "duh" for Elliot--and another "amen" for Cathie?
For example, the backend--the Learning Management System--is not an "interesting" pedagogical tool per se. But, teachers must be able to be able to open--to provide feedback, to give a grade--a document generated by a student using an app in nanoseconds (1-2 mouse clicks)--not seconds (and 6 or more mouse clicks). If it takes 45 seconds just to open one student-generated document then for 30 students that is 22+ minutes of value-less, lost time. If that doesn't sound like much, walk in a teacher's shoes and then you will see how painful and wasteful that time is.
And if a teacher can't mark up a student's document with a stylus--like he/she does on paper, then that is another roadblock. A couple of more such roadblocks, and teachers, rightfully so, will say: no thank you.
Our University team is working at Nan Chiau Primary School in Singapore with 700+ 3rd and 4th graders using Windows Phone 7 on Nokia 710 smartphones that run MyDesk for WP7, a version of the WeLearn Mobile Platform. Students submit their work to our server-based MyDesk Portal. Teachers said they wanted an easy way to show a class of students the work of each student. While we are not saying we have everything right, we have some things right--because we implemented what the teachers asked us to do!
First, the teachers wanted a simple way to see what artifacts all the students had completed. Figure 1, then, depicts a portion (there are 40 students and many, many artifacts) of that overarching view. One mouse click on an element in the table and a student's artifact opens up in a new window.
Second, since collaborative learning is a key skill being taught, the teachers felt that sharing what each student did on an assignment with the class during the class period was pedagogically important. So, one mouse click on the assignment name (corresponds to a column in the table) creates a view where each student's artifact for that assignment is opened in another window. Scroll up and down to see different student's work. A teacher attaches his/her laptop to a projector; the teacher scrolls up and down to show the student's artifacts to the class. Figure 2 depicts the top portion of the column; it includes analytics also requested by the teachers.
Let's Not Squander This Opportunity to Impact Student Achievement
Pedagogically meaningful apps need to be developed; no question about it. But if we don't equip a teacher with curricular-based lessons that use the apps--in interesting and provocative ways, and if we don't make the software environment teacher-friendly, then the impact on student achievement that we know is possible--will not be realized. We can't waste this opportunity or our teachers' valuable time!!

Artist uses LEDs and mirrors to evoke the Aurora Borealis
Unveiled only recently on January 22, "Light Cycles" is housed in a 10-story glass atrium overlooking the Hudson River in New York City. It was commissioned by Arts Brookfield and spruces up the Winter Garden at the Brookfield Place World Financial Center.
The artist behind the light show that fills this large space is Anne Militello, an internationally acclaimed lighting artist and veteran theater designer. Among her many works is the facade of the New 42nd Street Studios building, also located in Manhattan. With "Light Cycles," Militello is attempting to create similar visuals to those of the aurora borealis, twinkling stars and fields of gemstones as viewed through water.
To accomplish these effects, she has hung numerous large discs or reflective material from the rafters of the atrium, lining each disk with programmable color-changing LEDs. The light is diffused and shone only through the outward facing surface of the discs, seemingly stating that the optimal viewing angle is that from outside. However, the throw of the light upon the rafters inside the atrium is no less stunning than the visual from outside. And in late January, it's a lot warmer, too.
There is something to be said about Militello's awareness of her space. The atrium is populated a by a number of tall, warmly-lit palm trees. The overall effect is similar to auroras skipping across the glass ceiling above these usually tropically-located trees and makes the whole display all the more wondrous.
The display will be visible from dusk to midnight and housed through March, so if you've got plans to visit NYC soon, you don't want to miss it. If you hurry on down, you might even run into the artist herself, who is still adding new lighting programs through the end of January. Admission is free to the public.

Hello, from a rather blustery day in beautiful Melbourne town. I've been touring off and on since around 1991, making records, and trying to get them noticed. Radio airplay for new material has proved very challenging, so touring "live" has been my approach, old fashioned, quite analog, time consuming, but necessary, and effective. It is connecting, and provides nourishment for the soul. I am done for the time being. I'm going to spend next year writing and recording, and playing the odd gig here and there. I'd like to thank all those who made it out to a show, I literally couldn't do it without you. I was going to write more, as there is so much to consider, as the sun sets on this year, but I want coffee, and that's something that this town has down. That, and bi-polar like weather. Fantastic place.

A message from Colin
Colin Hay to Celebrate 'Down Under' 30th Anniversary With Global Re-Release
Newly recorded version of iconic anthem 'Down Under' to be used as the centerpiece of Telstra's Olympic Games Advertising Campaign
A newly recorded version of the iconic Men at Work song "Down Under" will be released globally on Compass Records in celebration of the song's 30th year anniversary. Colin Hay re-recorded the song without the "Kookaburra" flute line which is the subject of a drawn out and embittered lawsuit in Australia. The track will be released as part of an EP (available on iTunes July 31st) which will include three versions of the song: the newly recorded studio version, a solo acoustic version and a live, solo, story-song version in which Hay humorously describes how he wrote song. The three track EP will be released exclusively through iTunes with the single "Down Under 2012″ available through other digital outlets including compassrecords.com.
Greg Ham
I met Greg Ham 40 years ago, at Kim Gyngell's house in 1972. Last year of high school. He had blond hair, rosy cheeks, ridiculously bright eyes, and along with Gyngell, was the funniest person I knew. He was sharp, real sharp. We were friends from then on, we liked each other. He lived for a while in Park Street in St Kilda, in a communal household, which was the best of times. The best parties ever. Greg took up the saxophone and flute during this time, he was always practicing. He got really good. We shared countless, unbelievably memorable times together, from stumbling through Richmond after playing the Cricketers Arms, to helicoptering into New York City, to appear on Saturday Night Live, or flying through dust storms in Arizona, above the Grand Canyon, or getting lost, driving aimlessly through the Gippsland countryside. We played in a band and conquered the world together. I love him very much. He's a beautiful man. He never lost his love and passion for music, and indeed taught music to kids over the last few years. He was a great teacher, and they loved him. The saxophone solo on "Who Can It Be Now", was the rehearsal take. We kept it, that was the one. He's here forever.
I'm thinking about his family, and hoping they are receiving the love and support they need and deserve.

February 2012 Tour returns to Australia
The Master Of The One Man Show Returns!
After sold out launch shows here earlier this year to support the release of his acclaimed album 'Gathering Mercury' Colin Hay has gone from strength to strength in North America, selling out venues across the continent. This summer he returns to Australia for his biggest solo tour here in many years.
Colin Hay is a master of the one-man show. Armed with an acoustic guitar, his rich memorable voice, and decades of road experience, Hay is an entertainer in the true sense of the word. His show takes his audience on a journey through song and stories and if the reviews from his recent tour in the United States are anything to go by, that journey will be an experience not to be missed.
"Hay is a master storyteller of the hilarious kind. Mostly talking about the early days, his family, and life in America, Hay had the crowd doubling over with laughter for what seemed like half the show. Yes, we paid to hear that pure, raspy voice sing those incredible songs, but this was like getting two shows in one." Kevin Triebsch, The Atlanta Music Examiner.
"Hay is funnier than most stand-up comedians, so he'll split your sides and then drop a heartbreaking ditty on you." The Houston Chronicle
The set list for his solo shows is meshed together with new tunes from 'Gathering Mercury', tracks from his extensive catalogue as a solo song writer and, of course, from his time with the monumentally successful Men At Work. There is a subtle thread through the show, which bonds the audience and performer. You'll get more than you thought you'd get, and then at the end, you'll want more still.
"I've been singing, playing guitar, writing songs, and trying to entertain people since I was 14 years old." Coin said. "I feel, at the present time, that I may, on any given night, be getting the hang of it!" Read more

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
