NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Vanderbilt's James Franklin says he won't soon forget the Commodores' loss to Tennessee.
The coach says the way the Vols celebrated their overtime win -- which included coach Derek Dooley boasting how the Vols always beat Vanderbilt -- will be a wound he leaves open until next year.
Franklin said Monday he knows his Commodores hurt themselves with four turnovers and penalties in the 27-21 loss. Officials added to the pain with an overtime review of Eric Gordon's interception return for a touchdown that the Southeastern Conference admitted two hours later was incorrectly ruled.
Tennessee should have gone on offense instead.
During his weekly news conference Monday afternoon, Derek Dooley said it was disappointing that video of the locker room celebration surfaced on the internet.
"That is kind of the world we live in. It's like there is no sacred place, and I think probably all 120 coaches out there in football have a side to them where they loosen up with team that they don't do in public," Dooley said to a room full of reporters.
"Am I excited after a win? I always am. After a win is emotional, and certainly when you win a close game that is down to the wire it's exciting. You take those things for what they are. It's a postgame, emotional, have a little fun, and you then you close the door on it when you leave."
Dooley and the Vols visit Kentucky Saturday afternoon for a 12:21 kickoff (WVLT-TV).

It looks just like web picture. Received it very quickly and in great condition.
This metal wall art is a great accent piece for the wall. My bedroom is grey and purple this went great with the décor. I do recommend getting a 2nd one or the other purple gem flower wall art piece to hang together as it isn't enough to fill a wall, unless it's a small wall.
I'm using this in my bathroom and it the perfect accent! Lightweight and beautiful! Not overwhelming, not too big....perfect!
beautiful, easy to hang, good color.
I changed the accent items in the master bathroom to purple. This floral gem goes very well, however, I wish it was a "tad" lighter hue. This was the last item I needed to complete my project and I am very pleased with it.

'Yes to land reform. Yes to environmentally-friendly agriculture,' chanted the 300-some farmers gathered for the 40th anniversary of the Papaye Peasant Movement (MPP), a group aiming to promote 'food sovereignty for the people.' MPP leader Chavannes Jean-Baptiste strongly opposed the introduction of hybrid and genetically modified seeds from American giant Monsanto after the devastating 2010 earthquake that leveled much of Haiti. 'Farmers need to get the same consideration as all other Haitians. They must be respected and included in national decisions,' he said.

Nick Cave announced that Grinderman is splitting up at the Meredith Music Festival in Australia. Via The Guardian:
Cave told the 12,000 strong crowd "That's it for Grinderman. It's over," before apparently adding "See you all in another ten years when we'll be even older and uglier."
For a bunch of older, weathered rock dudes, they could be pretty ferocious in their bluesy, licksy rock. Salute.

The Sweden Solar System
The Sweden Solar System (SSS) is the world's largest model of our planetary system. The Sun is represented by the Globe in Stockholm, the largest spherical building in the world, and the planets are lined up in direction north from here.
Note! To navigate within the pages for Sweden Solar System, use the links in this column.
Distances and sizes are scaled according to 1:20 million, and the inner planets are all in the Stockholm area. The outer planets follow in the same direction with for instance Neptune in Söderhamn and the dwarf planet Pluto in Delsbo, 300 km from the Globe. A number of minor planets and comets also populate SSS, which now extends from the very south to the very north of Sweden. There is a host institution for each model. SSS is a pedagogical instrument and conveys a direct feeling of the enormous distances in space, and how small the planets are compared to the Sun. Art, mythology and science merge in this project, and SSS connects many different places and different type of activities around Sweden. Nils Brenning, at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and Gösta Gahm, at the Stockholm University, started the project and coordinate new activities. For more information contact: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Sun
Globen, Stockholm
Diameter: 71 m (solar disk) + the corona (the Sun's outer atmosphere)
The Globe Arena in Stockholm is the largest spherical building in the world, and it represents the Sun in the SSS. This picture shows the Globe lit by an animation, which included a sequence showing flares on the solar surface, during the inauguration of the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
Stockholms stadsmuseum, Slussen
Diameter: 25 cm
Distance from Globen: 2,9 km
The model of Mercury is heated to symbolize its closeness to the Sun. Craters are depicted, and on the support structure various symbols are seen, like for the orbital drift in accordance with Einstein's theory of relativity.
Diameter: 62 cm
Distance from Globen: 5,5 km
A new model of Venus, replacing the one stolen in 2011, is temporarily placed at the Institution for Space and Plasma Physics at the Kungl. Tekniska Högskolan, Stockholm (also depicted at Observatoriemuseet, Stockholm)
The model of Venus at the Observatory Museeum in central Stockholm was made at the workshop at Liljevalchs Museeum. The Observatory Museum is closed during 2014.
Cosmonova, Naturhistoriska riksmuseet, Stockholm
Diameter: 65 cm /18 cm
Distance from Globen: 7,6 km
The models of our planet Earth and the Moon are locatet outside the entrance of the space theatre Cosmonova at the Natural History Museum (in the ticket hall).
Mörby centrum
Diameter: 35 cm
Distance from Globen: 11,6 km
Mars is connected to a plate in steel symbolizing the Earth. Chemical symbols for common compounds on Mars can be found on the sphere.
Arlanda airport
Diameter: 7,3 m
Distance from Globen: 40 km
Jupiter was previously represented by an arrangement of flowers outside Sky City at Arlanda Airport. Plans for a new 3D model at another location are advancing.
Diameter: 6,1 m
Distance from Globen: 73 km
The planet Saturn will eventually crown a school planetarium in Uppsala. However, a first step was taken in 2010 when an artistic model of the moon Titan was inaugurated in central Uppsala at the Celsius House, where the 18th century astronomer Anders Celsius worked. In addition, several Saturn moons have been given form by pupils in school classes in the area.
Diameter: 2,6 m
Distance from Globen: 146 km
A symbolic and playful outdoor model of Uranus was inaugurated in Oct 2012 (see picture) in Lövstabruk south of Gävle. The model was built in steel by Forsmark Mechanical Workshop at the Forsmark nuclear plant located close to Lövstabruk, and where the element Uranium plays an important role. The unusual tilt of Uranus' axis is marked.
Diameter: 2,5 m
Distance from Globen: 229 km
A sculpture of an asteroid discovered by A. Brandeker in 2000 with a telescope at the Stockholm Observatory, now "Kunskapsskolan", was unveiled in 2010.. The object was named "Saltis", after the nickname of Saltsjöbaden.
Diameter: 12 cm
Distance from Globen: 300 km
Pluto and Charon are supported by two tomb-like pillars reminding of the mythological meaning of Pluto (Hades), the god of the underworld. One can also be reminded of the meteorite impact that took place here 90 million years ago, when all life became extinct over a large area, and from which the Dellen lake system formed.
Pluto is not classified as a planet anymore. It is a dwarf planet.
Asteroid Eros
Mörbyskolan, Danderyd
Diameter: 2,0 mm x 0,7 mm x 0,7 mm
Distance from Globen: 11 km
Eros, the god of love, was inaugurated on a Valentine's day during a close encounter by a NASA space probe. The model, only 1.5 mm in size, was designed and exhibited as a school project.
Asteroid Saltis
Kunskapsskolan, Saltsjöbaden
Diameter: less than 1 mm
Distance from Globen: 17 km
A sculpture of an asteroid discovered by A. Brandeker in 2000 with a telescope at the Stockholm Observatory, now "Kunskapsskolan", was unveiled in 2010. The object was named "Saltis", after the nickname of Saltsjöbaden.
Asteroid 5025 PL
Alsike, Knivsta
Diameter: 0,2 mm
Distance from Globen: 60 km
The asteroid Palomar-Leiden 5025 is a small dot on a relief describing SSS and placed in a park in Knivsta with "cosmic" sculptures by Eric Ståhl standing in front of the relief.
Technichus, Härnösand
Diameter: 6,5 cm
Distance from Globen: 360 km
Ixion is one of the largest minor planets discovered by a team including Swedish scientists. The model is shown in the science centre Technicus in Söderhamn..
Umestans företagspark, hus 56, Umeå
Diameter: 13 cm
Distance from Globen: 510 km
The model of Eris, the goddess of conflict, reflects an ancient story when Eris initiated a big quarrel starting with a controversial inscription on a golden apple.
Teknikens hus, Luleå
Distance from Globen: 912 km
The model of the dwarf planet Sedna, created by Arto Koskitalo, was inaugurated in 2005 at the science centre "Teknikens Hus" located in Luleå in northern Sweden, not far from the arctic cirle. In arctic mythology, Sedna represented the "goddess of the frozen sees" from where she supplied the eskimos with seals and whales. Sedna is comparable to Pluto in size, and belongs to a distant swarm of minor planets called the Kuiper Belt
Halley's comet
Balthazar, Skövde
Diameter: several depictions
Distance from Globen: 260 km
Comet Halley was inaugurated at the science centre Balthazar in Skövde on December 2009. Halley is prepresented by three outdoor models inspired by drawings made by school children, and in addition one indoor model formed by laser in a block of glass. At this place the comet is at its largest distance from the Sun.
Swift-Tuttle's comet
Kreativum, Karlshamn
Diameter: < 1 cm
Distance from Globen: 390 km
Swifft-Tuttle has an elongated orbit, and in SSS the comet passes at its largest distance from the Sun (aphelium) at this location in the science centre Kreativum on the Swedish southcoast.
The termination shock
Institutet för rymdfysik, Kiruna
Diameter: -
Distance from Globen: 950 km
The distant interface between the solar wind and the surrounding galactic gas, the terminal shock, has been manifested in Kiruna. A future sculpture is envisioned to express this phenomenon reminiscent of aurorae frequently seen in northern Sweden.

Radical Sex Education
This class aims to examine the aspects of why sex education is important and what it can offer to us in our daily lives. This class will create a forum that looks at what we can gain from learning and teaching sex education in a radical environment outside of the mainstream, public education arena of the "abstinence only" method. This class is geared towards adolescents and young adults that are inundated with messages from mainstream society and in the media about what is expected of them, their bodies and their sexuality. We will have bi-weekly discussions that will be held in a safe, comfortable and open environment to explore ideas, thoughts and questions on different topics. Each discussion topic will have its own set of ground rules on how to keep our class space safe, inviting and inclusive of everyone involved. General topics for discussion will include:
*Sexual anatomy: Knowledge on puberty, menstruation, and masturbation
*Learning to construct our sexual identities: What does it mean to be queer, trans, gay, lesbian, bi, bi-curious, androgynous and/or heterosexual? What does it mean to have a certain gender? How can we be better allies towards one another when we acknowledge that different gender and sexual identities exist?
*Safe sex: Knowledge on contraceptives and sexual health for male, female, trans and queer bodies -- where can we find free clinics in the Twin Cities? Where can we find free contraceptives and free condoms?
*Consent is sexy: How do we talk about consent? How can we have responsible intimate relationships with one another? Are there different kinds of relationships?
*Sex in different cultures: What can we learn about our sexual relationships from other people?
*Sex and kink in the media: What relationships do we normalize? What different kinds of sexual relationships do we find attractive? How can we look at pornographic images and analyze them in terms of healthy and unhealthy sexual relationships?
*Living in a world where sexual assault and relationship violence are normalized: What are sexual assault and relationship violence? How do we view "survivors" and "perpetrators"? How do we challenge living in a "rape culture"?
These topics will be offered to the class at the beginning of discussion periods, but students will be allowed to construct their own discussion topics if the one for the day does not fit into the issues and/or questions they want to discuss for their class time. There will be different readings, group activities and a final group project at the end of the class so commitment and attendance for the entirety of the course is encouraged. The class will be held at Second Foundation School which is located at 1219 University Ave SE Minneapolis, MN. It will be held bi-weekly in the afternoons between 11AM and 3:30PM (specific times and dates will be posted soon).
**Classes will be open to all ages and genders up until the age of 18, though if you are older and wish to participate in the discussion, please feel free to e-mail me and we can discuss your interest in participating more.**
**Classes will not be censored. Though boundaries will be set in order to ensure students' safety and comfort, crude language, pornographic images and detailed discussions on sex and sexuality will be allowed and present.**

Facilitator's experience:
As someone who received very little sex education and absolutely no information about how to have healthy sexual relationships during my time at public school -- I see teaching sex education to younger generations of kids in a radical way extremely important in counteracting the fear and violence that we experience in our society in relation to sex, sexuality and our identities. I have spent a large amount of time discussing these issues in my daily life and have also digested a lot of literature about the discussion topics listed above. I just graduated from Hamline University with a liberal arts degree and want to spend my newly found free time fighting the rape culture we live in by teaching kids about safe sex and sexuality, how to be good allies to people with varying gender identities, and how to explore their own sexual identities in a healthy, positive and empowering way.

"I made this without the shrimp and loved it. The butter made all the difference. I served this with General Tso's chicken and egg rolls."
"Make this today! You won't regret it. It was fairly easy and worth the little bit of extra effort. My children loved it. When I was making it, I thought it made way too much, but I didn't have any leftovers. I served with fried rice and egg rolls. DELICIOUS!"
"You will never buy a another egg roll from the chinese retaurant again. I make these without the ground beef. I just microwave the cabbage and carrots for a 2 minutes and then season and roll."
"I have to confess that I made these TWICE this week. Yes, they are that good and EASY. My children loved them, and my husband and I were racing each other to get to the last one. I didn't find it too greasy, either."
"This was fabulous. My husband normally doesn't like pork, but he loved this. I didn't have any thyme, so I use rubbed sage. I used the leftover water to make gravy. I will definitely be making this again."
"Everyone just loved this. I did make it a little smaller and didn't use a whole bottle of dressing and not so many chips. It was wonderful."
"This is absolutely the best soup. Even my children like it. It is so easy and I serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches. YUMMY!!! And HEALTHY!!!"

As promised, Darlings! A whole page of fan dancing inspiration to get your mind and heart a flutter!
What a joy it was to teach such lovely ladies yesterday at the Kansas City Burlesque Festival!
And speaking of fan dances: what a treat to see Ilsa the Wolf execute one so skillfully! A dance which deservedly won her the title of: Queen of the 1st Annual Kansas City Burlesque Festival!(I was thrilled to find a video of Ilsa the Wolf to share with you – she's below!)
Before we hit the YouTube goodness I want to share a very handy link with you.
If you aren't reading 21st Century Burlesque… get with it! As fan dancing wisdom goes here's a little treasure to spark some thought:
What I mean to say is READ THIS:
Beatirx Von Bourbon's article "How to Make a Fan Dance Your Own"
Miss. Ilsa the Wolf! Reigning Queen of the Kansas City Burlesque Festival!
This video was taken at a show in Wichita recently and is Very similar to the number she performed at the festival last night!
Miss Indigo Blue: Triple Fan dance! Small, medium and large! This is number is a feast for the eyes of skill and tease! Watch it HERE.
One of my all time favorite fan dances (which I had the real treat of seeing in person a few years ago): Nasty Canasta's Car Alarm Fan Dance
Sharon Davis I've watched this video about a million times. She's having so much fun with her audience.
Isidora Bushkovski - Fan Dance & Double Veil Dance Not a burlesque number – and absolutely inspiring – the power of Just One Fan. It adds so much to highlight and accent her performance.
About Sally Rand – The Fan Dancing Inspiration

A perfect gift!
December 1, 2014
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Layton, UT United States
This was one of the items I got for my sister. The packaging was beautiful and received a lot of excited and awed reactions from the whole family. As with all of Nostalgic Impressions merchandise, everything was in great quality and beauty. Though the feather pens are fantastic, don't overlook this lovely wooden set. It's especially good if you have a cat. I am so glad I found this company and will definitely be ordering from them again!

Body Type: Big Bottom (Large Hips, Thighs and Rear) If you fall into this category, the first secret to slimming down is to understand what type of body fat you're fighting. Those with big bottoms are carrying around extra subcutaneous fat. This fat that appears just below your skin is actually healthier than belly fat; unfortunately, it is also harder to get rid of. Subcutaneous fat is associated with healthy cholesterol levels and fewer heart attacks, but it also has less blood flow and holds onto calories, which makes it tough to burn off.
Diet Plan: Eat a Low-fat Diet Research shows that a low-fat diet actually helps break down stubborn fat cells in your bottom region.
- Step 1: Cut Back on Saturated Fats To get on track with a low-fat diet, begin by cutting down on saturated fats, including animal sources such as high-fat dairy and red meats. Eliminate hidden saturated fats such as hydrogenated oils found in processed foods.
- Step 2: Include Low-fat Dairy in Every Meal You don't have to cut out dairy entirely. Studies demonstrate that calcium helps to regulate the way fat cells store, build up and break down fat. Subsequently, low-fat dairy sources such as milk, yogurt and cottage cheese help promote weight loss. Choose low-fat (2%), not no-fat dairy.
- Meal Sampler:
- Butt-blasting Breakfast: Low-fat Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and granola
- Lunch: Low-fat cottage cheese with tomatoes, cucumbers and grilled chicken
- Snack: Low-fat milk with dark chocolate cocoa
- Dinner: Lean turkey burger with low-fat cheddar cheese
Try the Dr. Oz Approved Clean Detox Plan
Bust Butt Fat Supplement: DIM (Diindolymethane)
A natural compound produced during the digestion of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, DIM helps balance out estrogen and may help reduce the risk of certain cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. Research shows that estrogen contributes to fat below the waist; DIM helps block fat from accumulating in this area. Take 150mg of DIM in the morning. Available at drugstores for $10.
Blast Your Butt in Only 5 Minutes!
Don Compression Socks
People who carry weight in their lower body can have problems with water retention and are prone to varicose veins. Compression socks help to get rid of extra fluid and improve circulation, which is essential to weight loss. Wear them 2-5 times a week. Available at sporting goods stores for about $8 a pair.
Body Type: Big Middle
If you're struggling to get rid of a big middle, you're battling visceral fat, the fat located in your abdominal region that surrounds vital organs. While this fat is easier to get rid of than subcutaneous fat, it is also worse for you. Excess visceral fat has been linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. People with big middles tend to have higher levels of cortisol, the body's key stress hormone. Too much cortisol slows your metabolism and also breaks down muscle, making you hard-wired to store fat.
Diet Plan: Avoid Refined Carbohydrates/Eat Anti-Inflammatory Foods
First, avoid refined carbs like white bread, pasta and rice that are low in fat and spike blood sugar, which can increase stress and make you hungrier. Replace simple carbs with anti-inflammatory foods such as barley, buckwheat and amaranth. These whole grains stabilize blood sugar and help control cortisol surges. Go for other healthy anti-inflammatory fats, too, like olive oil, avocado, sea bass and salmon.
Try Dr. Oz's Anti-inflammatory Toast: Toasted Ezekiel bread (sprouted 100% whole grain), topped with avocado, olive oil, lemon and chili flakes. Click here for the complete recipe.
15 Superfoods That Will Rev Up Your Metabolism
Belly Fat Supplement: Chromium Polynicotinate
Chromium polynicotinate (niacin-bound chromium) is an essential trace element that plays an important role in insulin's regulation of blood glucose. Because people with belly fat are insulin resistant, they can benefit from this supplement because it helps reduce blood sugar levels. If you have the hunter body type, take 200mcg of chromium polynicotinate daily. Available at drugstores for about $9 a bottle.
Flush Belly Fat With: Unbleached Coffee Filters
People with big bellies often have high cholesterol. When making coffee, use unbleached paper coffee filters to flush out a dangerous compound called cafestol which has been linked to high cholesterol. Even if your coffee filter comes with a mesh filter, use an unbleached paper one as well.

There is a natural right that says that when the state asks you for a third of what you earned through back-breaking work, this seems to you a reasonable demand and you give in. If the state asks you for more, or much more, then it is a clear abuse against you and then you try to find evasive ways to make you feel coherent to your intimate sense of morality and it doesn't make you feel ethically guilty.Silvio Berlusconi
I marveled repeatedly at the providence of God, who had put these naturally impious people in a place where they could not corrupt his beloved ones and had punished them for their pride by leaving them to their own devices. That is why I don't doubt He has put off having the Gospel preached to them: He knows they would abuse it, and their resistance to it would only earn them a harsher punishment in the other world.Cyrano Hercule Savinien de Bergerac
Had Mother Nature been a real parent, she would have been in jail for child abuse and murder.Nick Bostrom
The Jews have practiced usury since the time of Moses, and oppressed the other peoples. Meanwhile, the Christians were only rarely usurers, falling into disgrace when they did so. We ought to ban the Jews from commerce because they abuse it... The evils of the Jews do not stem from individuals but from the fundamental nature of this people.Napoleon Bonaparte

Wondrous Ornament!
Well, I have the entire set (20mm, 30mm, and 40mm) and find the 40mm to be the best of the three. From the time I received my 20mm guy, I have worn one of them for 58 consecutive days (unless there is a metal detector problem, there is no reason to take it off). I have only a single (minor) nit to pick: the design (a pin and one hex-head screw) makes it a bit of a bother to put it on. But, DON'T SWEAT IT; with a bit of patience, you'll get it on and enjoy this wondrous ornament for a very long time. (Why, oh why, couldn't I have had one of these 50 years ago (I'm 71 now)? Sigh.)

The robotic device which can drive around by being controlled by a mobile phone which is physically connected to the robot. The mobile phone communicates to the robot through the audio cable. The company said any software which can run on the mobile phone and utilise the audio, can be programmed to drive the robot.
According to Abheek Bose, Founder & CEO at Robots Alive who has designed Andy, personal robots today have remained unaffordable due to high costs of the hardware involved. "However, we realised that some of the hardware used in the robot which make them so costly exists even in low-end smartphones today. This include, GPS, sensor, camera and display among others. So using the power of these smart devices, we have made intelligence robots highly affordable," said Bose.
Robotics device of similar nature today costs anywhere between Rs 50,000 to Rs 200,000. However, Andy which comes with two models is available at a price point of Rs 5,999 per unit, according the company website.
The primary application of the robot is to educate young students on robotics and electronics, and also to provide a source of entertainment for them.
"Our aim is to enable robot enthusiasts and students in India to own and explore their own personal robotics platform at a price that is attractive and with features that keep growing. They can in fact create their own apps to enable Andy with more features that they can imagine," added Bose.
Andy currently supports Android-based smart devices. Bose said the company would soon make it available for smartphone and devices that use other platforms such as Windows.
At present, Andy is available for sale only in the company-owned online store. The company is planning to make it available in third-party online stores and large-format retail outlets, soon.

Strip Wall/Ceiling Light D22/2Price: $540.00
Design by Dante Donegani, 1996.
By Luceplan.
Strip Wall/Ceiling Light is a family of wall, ceiling and suspension lamps of very reduced thickness for linear fluorescent tubes, designed according to modularity standards allowing sequences and juxtapositionings according to geometries "in equilibrium".
The very few basic elements of the Strip Light, such as the die-cast aluminum shoulders, the extruded aluminum distancer profiles, the electrical component housings and the opaline polycarbonate diffuser screens, allow modular lighting units of different dimensions and brightness to be created, whose common feature is their flat, low profile very close to the wall. This thickness reduced to the minimum makes Strip particularly suitable for places requiring unobtrusive lighting that adheres as closely as possible to ceilings and walls, for example in corridors and staircases.
Available in White, Painted Aluminum or Polished Aluminum.
Eco Friendly
Material(s): Metal, polycarbonate
Dimensions: 29" L X 7" W X 3.3" Extension
Bulbs: 2 X 17W T8 Med Bi-Pin Fluorescent or 2 X 24W T5 Mini Bi-Pin Fluorescent lamps (not included)
Designer: Dante Donegani
Born in Pinzolo (province of Trento) in 1957. Dante Donegani gained a degree in architecture in Florence in 1983. Since 1991 he has been the director of the master's program in design at the Domus Academy in Milan. In 1992 he opened the D&L Studio together with Giovanni Lauda.
Dante has designed layouts for art exhibitions, corporate identity projects, and products for a number of companies that include Memphis, Stildomus, Isuz, Steel and Luceplan, Le Cose Nostre, Edra, Radice and Viceversa. Dante Donegani has won important competitions in architecture and his work has been displayed in numerous exhibitions.View other products by Dante Donegani

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!)

ate some steamed broccoli with pb for lunch
ate salad and bread and sauce and cheese for dinner
salad was romaine lettuce and sprouts and balsamic and oil
also ate tons of junk (but for now focussing on including the good stuff)
Please tell me that the "pb" you ate with your broccoli wasn't peanut butter. And if it was, please don't tell me that you put it on your steamed broccoli.
sanctimoniously annoying.
I just dislike peanut butter that much.
Anyway, hope you've been keeping up with the veggies.
nicolasc has left the building. 43T and the friends I made will always be special to me.
Chinese or Thai food that have veggies in peanut sauce? Yum! But of course if you dislike peanut butter, then nothing is going to appeal to you. :-/
RuthG lives.
Cooked greens with a bit of peanut butter sauce = yum!
I do enjoy Thai with peanut sauce, but that is not peanut butter. In my mind I see people dipping their broccoli spears in a jar of Peter Pan.
Broccoli is meant to be dipped in cheese, preferably aged cheddar. :)
to each his or her own, yes?
I saw a package of fresh scrapple at the deli yesterday. I'll eat that and you can have your peanut butter. ;)
Hope you're surviving the shutdown of the city.

i interpreted "pb" as personal best. yup, always helps to focus on the good stuff.
Cloudberry is a tomato plant with her roots nestled in rich compost.
yes, one of my favorites, too: pb with a bit of chili paste, soy sauce, sugar, hot water, tossed with some Thai rice noodles… yum!

God the Cosmic Gardener
I began to imagine God taking delight in watching the universe slowly unfold and grow, much like my wife and I delight in the slow transformation of seeds into a bountiful harvest.

I began to imagine God taking delight in watching the universe slowly unfold and grow, much like my wife and I delight in the slow transformation of seeds into a bountiful harvest.
If I studied science, allowed my intellect to thrive, and continued the pursuit of understanding how things work, I was convinced that I would be condemning my soul and forsaking my faith.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
There was nothing about my experiences on Oct. 20 or the God I'd met that day that intimated to me that he harbored a particular abhorrence for evolution or any scientific theory. I wonder how often we do stuff like that: add things to our list of divine "non-negotiables" that really reflect nothing of the God we experienced when he first welcomed us into his family as a free gift of grace.
…because accepting evolutionary theory for the first time does require us to reconsider and reframe other aspects of our cultural and spiritual beliefs, we must be more caring about the way we interact with those who remain in disagreement with us.
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."

|School Health
|The two channels of School Health Programme
|Clinical Services
|All Pages
|The School Health Programme rolled out in the State from July '09 as a unique joint venture of the Departments of Health, Education, Sports, Council and Local Self Government aims to introduce a unique concept of a comprehensive Health card, the 'School TC & Health Record', for every student. The medical details and personal details which have bearing upon the child's health will be recorded in this Health Record named "Minus 2 to Plus 2". This Health Record will serve as a comprehensive document of each student as the Transfer Certificate and Conduct Certificate are also incorporated into it. Junior Public Health Nurses @ one for 2,500 students will be especially recruited and specifically trained to attend to the health of the school goers. The benefits of the School Health Programme will be extended to approximately 9.50 lakh students, both from Government and aided sectors, in 992 schools across the State (one school representing every Panchayat/ Municipality and 2-3 in the Corporation area) during the first phase. Comprehensive health services including the services of specialist Doctors on fixed days are planned as a part of this programme
The health of a nation means more than just the health of its population. It concerns the planning for the health of its future population. Similarly, health status is not just an assessment of a person at a point in time, but an ongoing and dynamic process. Health of the future generations is primarily moulded by the quality of maternal health and child health. Child health, in turn, is determined by various factors at home, school and on the playground. Of these factors, most of an average child's wakeful life is spent in school and in academic activities, more than any other place. The school activities expose the child to other children, and to public places, such as streets and buses. This makes the child vulnerable to a set of medical issues, ranging from infectious diseases, food poisoning, psycho-social issues and addictive behaviors, all of which are preventable
School health service in India dates back to 1909, when for the first time, medical examination of school children was carried out in Baroda City, Gujarat. After independence, in the five year plans, many state governments have provided school health and feeding programs to the students. But, efforts to improve school health have not been up to our expectations. The reason may be due to the lack of initiative, resource constrains and insufficient facilities.
In Kerala, there was once a district school health team comprising of doctors, nurses, attendants, and so on, under health services department. Gradually the members of this team were redeployed for other duties and the team became almost defunct.
The Redesigned School Health Program in Kerala
The School Health Program is now being redesigned for more benefits for the students, renovated according to the changed times and repackaged in a user friendly manner. This fresh program is undertaken as a joint venture by the Health Services Department, National Rural Health Mission and the Education Department.
The two channels of School Health Programme
Helping the nation build a bright and healthy generation, equipping them to make healthy choices and for planning to maintain a healthy population in the future.
The Main Components the State wide School Health Programme
Growing children are facing stress at different levels, and they bear the brunt of the family issues and interpersonal problems. Members of the family who themselves are under constant stress, often do not spare time to deal with their children's issues. At schools, they have to face peer pressure and stress related to studies. Above all, the stress of physical growth, especially during the adolescent period requires a sympathetic approach and proper guidance. Counseling may be provided to meet this end.
Documentation is an important part of our program. For any future action related to school health program, we need a good record of the past activities since past is a guide for the future. As part of documentation activities, the "School-TC & Health Record" is introduced by the "Arogyakeralam," Department of Health and Government of Kerala. The programme is named '-2 to +2,' as it is meant for children from Pre-Primary (LKG) to the Higher Secondary levels (Plus Two).
Vaccination Programmes
Vaccination programmes may be taken up, depending on the need of the hour in the future.

A woman a sassy, roly-poly hot mama wanders into the police station bearing a bouquet for Detective Murtaugh (Danny Glover), whom she's fallen for madly. Murtaugh himself is nowhere to be found he has ducked behind the nearest desk and so she relays her romantic message through his partner, the redoubtable flake Riggs (Mel Gibson). ''You tell that man,'' she says, ''that he's the jaaam in mah jelly roll!''
You want comic relief? In Lethal Weapon 3, you get comic relief. In fact, you get it long after the crime-thriller razzmatazz should be shifting into overdrive.
The first Lethal Weapon was a state-of-the-art piece of high-octane pulp. It was the same action-thriller demolition derby we'd been watching for years, only revved up, made wilder and funnier, more jauntily disposable. Lethal Weapon 2 delivered even greater kicks, with Gibson and Glover tossing jibes at each other as if they were playing badminton with firecrackers. So what's left for Lethal Weapon 3? Scraps, I'm afraid. The movie is like a pile of odds and ends some suitably entertaining that never made it into the first two films. Instead of shooting the works, director Richard Donner skimps on the basics: villain, plot, logic, suspense. ''If you want those,'' Donner seems to be saying, ''go rent The French Connection.''
Lethal Weapon 3 has something to do with Riggs and Murtaugh trying to nail an ex-cop (Stuart Wilson) who has been selling illegal firearms to street gangs. At least, I think that's what he's doing this baddie has such a perfunctory role we barely see him committing crimes. There's an attempt to give the weapons business a topical spin: For a few minutes, the movie turns into a just-add-tears version of Boyz N the Hood. But it's the silliest hypocrisy to inject ''antiviolence'' sentiment into a cartoon-nihilist bash like Lethal Weapon 3. The series was more honest, and more fun, when Riggs was jumping off roofs.
There are other letdowns. Joe Pesci, as the bleached-blond hustler Leo, shows up just infrequently enough to remind you he's there for no other reason than to reprise his role. More impressive is Rene Russo, playing an Internal Affairs officer with a kick-ass karate chop. With her beautiful big jaw, she's like a '40s siren reborn as a '90s terminatrix.
The movie zips around without any true forward momentum. The stars carry you along, though. As Murtaugh, Glover walks a witty line between slyness and exasperation. And Gibson drops his zingers with such supercharged flipness that he seems to be carrying on his own private, Mad-magazine commentary on the action; he's like a talking doodle in the margin. Gibson has become an ace comedian, but he'd do well to remember that there's a thin line between self-satire and self-indulgence. Time to invent some new weapons. C+

Film Reviews: 'Horrible Bosses,' 'Larry Crowne' and 'Transformers'
* * * Horrible Bosses
* * * Horrible Bosses
Directed by Seth Gordon. Written by Michael Markowitz and John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein. With Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day and Kevin Spacey. (R)
You'd think with the job market this tight there would be more workplace revenge comedies out there, but the only thing Horrible Bosses has in common with Office Space is Jennifer Aniston. Its disgruntled employees, who fall into the Hangover categories of the uptight, sensible Prius-driver (Jason Bateman), the vulgar skirt-chaser (Jason Sudeikis) and the strange little man (Charlie Day), spend almost no time at work, and most of it plotting to kill each other's bosses, as in Strangers on a Train. (It's a running joke that everyone, even a head-tattooed ex-con played by Jamie Foxx, knows his movies.) Or, as Day's sexually harassed dental hygienist says, it's like Throw Momma From the Train, which brings to mind Danny DeVito and Day's far nastier series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," in which half-baked ideas reliably spiral out of control on a weekly basis.
Bateman is the white-collar drone whose sadistic boss (Kevin Spacey) is dangling a promotion he will never get, Sudeikis the blue-collar guy whose new boss (Colin Farrell) is a coke-snorting, hooker-loving, would-be ninja who wants to dump chemical waste in Bolivia, and Day the pink-collar worker with the predatory boss (Jennifer Aniston) and, well, the other guys don't really take that one seriously. Aniston plays against type and Farrell, with a combover and a potbelly, against his looks, but Spacey (who's been here before) gets most of the horrible boss time, spouting such corporate koans as "You can't win a marathon without putting some Band-Aids on your nipples."
In the R-rated mode of the moment, Horrible Bosses has been written with a 12-year-old boy's idea of filthiness and a studio executive's fear of alienating the audience. It offers a surprising second-act twist and then wraps it all up a little too easily. But the movie belongs to Day, his voice still caught in a pubertal strangle that rises to canine-audible heights in moments of hysteria or cocaine-induced euphoria.
* * Larry Crowne
* * Larry Crowne
Directed by Tom Hanks. Written by Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos. With Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts.(PG-13)
This week's bad teacher is Mercy Tainot, a bitter community college speech professor who shows up for her 8 a.m. class on "The Art of Informal Remarks" hungover and tries to cancel when there isn't a quorum. As played by Julia Roberts with her wide mouth grimly sealed in resignation, she's the best thing about Larry Crowne, Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos' stillborn movie about a downsized big-box clerk who goes back to school, takes a job as a line cook and trades in his SUV for a scooter. He's soon befriended by a free spirit (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) who gives him a makeover and introduces him to her scooter-riding friends. Larry, who went into the Navy instead of college, signs up for speech, economics and composition, a class that is never mentioned again. George Takei is in high self-parody as the economics professor, and while Mrs. Tainot's class may not help Larry land a job, it gives us an opportunity to hear some amusing speeches.
Mrs. Tainot, who has been having stilted, artificial fights over internet porn with her husband (Bryan Cranston), suddenly melts into Larry's arms after hitching a ride on the back of his scooter one drunken night. The morning after she blames "a confluence of too many things happening in too short a timespan" which could be said of this movie. Hanks and Vardalos are clearly attempting a return to the adult comedies of the '70s, in which no one had kids (not even the neighbors played by Cedric the Entertainer and Taraji P. Henson, who are engaged in a permanent yard sale that must violate some zoning regulation) and George Segal was finding himself with maybe Glenda Jackson. But all the fuss is over a kiss — in the '70s, Glenda would have slept with George.
Roberts and Hanks' underwritten relationship, which results in intersecting and improbably jealous triangles, is pinned solely on the fact that their names are above the title, although, as in Bad Teacher, Mrs. Tainot's students seem unaware that their instructor looks like a movie star. Hanks did indeed attend junior college in the '70s with older students and a Vietnam vet; the rest is cutesy, unfocussed and forced. But at least there's Takei's diabolical laugh.
* 1/2 Transformers: Dark of the Moon
* 1/2 Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Directed by Michael Bay. Written by Ehren Kruger. With Shia LaBeouf, Frances McDormand and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. (PG-13)
If Larry Crowne derives its sparse pleasures from George Takei intoning "Econ Prime," Transformers: Dark of the Moon offers the voice of Leonard Nimoy as the billygoat-whiskered Autobot Sentinel Prime and a two-and-a-half hour homage to the "Star Trek" episode in which Spock went nuts. (For those who missed it it's excerpted at the beginning of the movie, with commentary from those jive-talking Autobot gremlins.) Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) is now a college graduate living in Washington, D.C., with a new girlfriend (Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who is introduced ass-first and you can practically hear Michael Bay smirking, "See, Megan Fox, I can replace you with a paper bag with lipstick"). But even a medal from President Obama won't get Sam a job until John Malkovich sends him to the mailroom, and then Frances McDormand struts in as the head of National Intelligence and John Turturro returns as that wacky former agent, and where are the Coen brothers when you need them?
After an hour or so of mounting nonsense in which a dazed Buzz Aldrin meets chief Autobot Optimus Prime and Ken Jeong drops his pants again, Optimus reactivates Sentinel, who promptly goes berserk and destroys Chicago. Watching giant robots slugging it out on East Wacker Drive is less fun than it sounds and goes on forever, with Josh Duhamel and his soldiers and Tyrese Gibson and his ex-commandos and Shia screaming like a little girl.
Unlike many recent 3-D movies, Dark of the Moon was actually shot in 3-D, and if the headaches this one induces don't sound the death knell to this silliness I don't know what will. Since rapid movement remains jittery, Bay sometimes resorts to slow-motion, and the 3-D actually makes the CGI less convincing, with the actors on one plane and the robots on another. To exploit the 3-D, Bay has filled the sets with reflective surfaces; what the last Transformers did to your eardrums, this one does to your eyeballs, and it is not pleasant.

Sherwood Couple Sues Over Theft at Junior League of North Little Rock Event
Posted 10/29/2012 12:00 am
A Sherwood couple who agreed to open their home for the Junior League of North Little Rock 2011 Holiday Home Tour said a visitor helped himself to nearly $20,000 worth of jewelry.
Steve and Gina Brockinton said they were out of town when the League's fundraising event took place on the weekend of Nov. 18, according to their lawsuit filed in Pulaski County Circuit Court.
They said a Junior League member should have been in the decorated rooms watching for any light-fingered riffraff. Visitors paid at least $10 to view several homes in the area.
The Brockintons filed an insurance claim through the Junior League's carrier, but it was denied. The carrier, Scottsdale Insurance Co. of Scottsdale, Ariz., denied the claim because the couple signed a waiver that said the Junior League isn't responsible for any thefts that take place.
The Brockintons said they take issue with the wording in the release form. The couple "never intended to release Junior League from liability for negligence related to damages to or loss of Plaintiff's personal property," the lawsuit said.
They are seeking the value of their property back.
The Junior League denied the allegations of wrongdoing in the court papers it filed last week. It asked that the case be tossed.
"We are in discovery, so the full and complete facts have yet to be determined," said the Junior League's attorney, D. Michael Huckaby Jr. of Little Rock.
A spokesman for Scottsdale Insurance said the company doesn't comment on pending litigation.

"Confidence Men" Author Ron Suskind Responds to Obama Administration's Fiery Denials About Financial Crisis
JUAN GONZALEZ: The release of an explosive new book that draws a searing portrait of the Obama administration's failings and early management of the economic crisis has been met with sharp objections from officials within and outside of the White House. In his book Confidence Men, veteran journalist Ron Suskind writes that U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner ignored an order from President Barack Obama to consider dissolving the debt-ridden banking giant Citigroup as part of a reconstruction of major banks in March 2009. Suskind goes on to say that Citigroup was one of several incidents where President Obama's authority was, quote, "systematically undermined or hedged by his seasoned advisers." He also reports Larry Summers, former chair of the National Economic Council, once said at a meeting, quote, "We're really home alone. There's no adult in charge. Clinton would never have made these mistakes."
Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney responded to some of the allegations in Suskind's book.
PRESS SECRETARY JAY CARNEY: I, too, have not read the book, although I've read a lot about it. What we know is that very simple things, facts that could be ascertained—dates, titles, statistics, quotes—are wrong in this book. So I think that—in fact, one passage seems to be lifted almost entirely from Wikipedia in the book. I think, based on that, I would caution anyone to assume that if you can't get those things right, that you suddenly get the broader analysis right. That analysis is wrong.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Press Secretary Jay Carney, speaking about Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind's new book, Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President. Suskind says the book is based on interviews with more than 200 people, including former and current members of the Obama administration, as well as the President himself.
Well, we are joined by Ron Suskind right now. His previous books include the New York Times bestsellers The Way of the World, The One Percent Doctrine, The Price of Loyalty and A Hope in the Unseen. From 1993 to 2000, Suskind was the senior national affairs writer for the Wall Street Journal, where he won the Pulitzer Prize. He now lives in Washington, D.C., writes for Time Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire and the Wall Street Journal.
Ron, what most surprised you in your research for this book, Confidence Men?
RON SUSKIND: It did surprise me when I began to discover how much the President faced in those first days, how significant the challenges were, but also how much he was ceding authority to a small group of advisers, many of whom, of course, had long experience with one another, dating back to the Clinton years. That was the most surprising thing. And as well, when I found that out, of course, as you know, as the Bush administration pointed out, I am a lifelong Democrat, and, you know, some of the things that you're finding in reporting often, as a reporter, are unsettling. I was very, very ardent about making certain that the book really was true to the idea of the evolution of the President, rather than a snapshot of any place in time, which was the prime driver to the final interview with the President, where he speaks, I think with great strength, about how he has evolved across these tumultuous years.
AMY GOODMAN: At a press briefing on Monday, the director of the Management and Budget, Jack Lew, asked Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner about your book. Here's how Geithner responded.
