May 23rd will mark the 300 year anniversary of the great Swedish biologist Carl von Linné, also known as Linnaeus. He is best remembered as a botanist and the founder of modern systems of naming living organisms.
Linnaeus trained as a physician. At that time, botany was a core subject of medical training as most prescribed drugs were derived and prepared from medicinal plants. Linnaeus went on to outline classification systems in botany and zoology using binomial naming. His consistent use of binomial (the use of just two names to describe any given species) led to it being adopted as the standard. His published works, Systema Naturae (in particular the 10th edition published in 1758) and Species Plantarum (1753) are of particular importance as these are generally considered as the starting point for zoological and plant nomenclature respectively.
In expanding his knowledge of the world, Linnaeus sponsored his students on various voyages. These so-called 'Plant-Hunters' included David Solander (who accompanied Joseph Banks on Cook's first voyage), Anders Sparman (who attended on Cook's 2nd voyage) and Carl Thunberg. An Aberdeen link comes through Francis Masson (1741-1805) who undertook 2 voyages with Thunberg between 1773 and 1775.
Our Tercentenary exhibition is now open in the Zoology Museum Foyer. The exhibition looks at the life, scientific work and legacy of the great Swedish biologist, Linnaeus The exhibition gives an historical perspective of Linnaeus, his contribution to the classification of living organisms and the naming of plants and animals. It will also consider Linnaeus's other achievements, like that of his contribution to the field of chronobiology.
In addition, smaller supporting exhibitions can be seen around campus - at Special Libraries and Archives (http://www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/Collection_highlight.shtml), the Queen Mother Library and at the Institute for Medical Sciences. Also visit The David Welch Winter Gardens at Duthie Park this summer to see more about Linnaeus and his plant hunters.
The Natural History Centre are running associated activities. Visit http://www.abdn.ac.uk/nhc/linnaeus/ for more information.

Birds of a feather: Audubon's Adventures in Edinburgh. July-October 2006
John James Audubon (1785-1851) was one of the world's greatest wildlife artists. Production of his most famous book, Birds of America, began in Edinburgh, aided by the city's leading lights in science and literature. The National Library of Scotland's summer exhibition charts Audubon's relationships with these brilliant men, and shows how his magnificent books were made.
A complete volume of The Birds of America will be on display together with our own skins of North American birds presented to William MacGillivray by Audubon. The original labels were written by MacGillivray who was Professor of Natural History at Marischal from 1840 until his death in 1852. The exciting wording on the labels is "presented by Mr. Audubon".
4 July to 15 October
Monday-Saturday: 10.00-17.00*
10.00-20.00 during Edinburgh Festival, 13 August to 3 September
Sunday 14.00-17.00

Anatomy Acts: Edinburgh May 13th - July 9th
Twenty three objects from the University's Museum collections have journeyed south for a major exhibition that opened at the City Arts Centre in Edinburgh this month. Anatomy Acts, a major exhibition in Edinburgh, aims to explore the social, cultural and scientific significance of anatomy in Scotland over the past 500 years by bringing together for the first time rare and historic items from Scotland's medical museums and archives. The University is one of the principal contributors.
Objects being sent from the University's historic collections are diverse, ranging from anthropometry cards of student fingerprints from the Special Libraries and Archives collection to a cod skull from the Zoology Museum prepared by Frederick Knox, brother of the infamous surgeon Robert Knox who was involved in the Burke and Hare scandal.
A number of Auzoux papier-mâché models are also being loaned including a horse hoof, a snail and a life–sized articulated anatomical model of a man.
Frenchman Louis Thomas Jerome Auzoux (1797-1880) popularised the use of articulated models in the 19th century as a means of studying anatomy. Papier-mâché models on this scale are now very rare. Our life-sized model is believed to be the only one of its kind in Scotland and it is one of only a handful remaining in the world.
Anatomy Acts is at the City Arts Centre, Edinburgh from May 13th until July 9th and will then tour to venues in Dundee, St Andrews, Inverness and Glasgow.
Opening January 2006: Super Models
The University's Marischal Museum and Scientific Collections will be mounting a new exhibtion that will explore the world of models in the very broadest sense!

Kieran is now forging himself a successful career as a press photographer with the Evening Times. The high quality of his work has recently been recognised by the award of The Diageo Young Photographer of the Year Prize for 2005.
The prize was presented to Kieran by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown at the Picture Editors' Awards ceremony. Photographers from the regional and national press and agencies gathered at the Guildhall in London for the culmination of the competition, which is now in its 12th year.
The Picture Editors' Awards recognise and reward the very best in photographic journalism throughout the UK and Ireland; the winners are chosen by a ballot of picture editors across the British Isles. More than 1,400 individual entries, almost 9,000 images, were submitted this year.
We are delighted to see one of our zoology graduates achieve such success and we are celebrating by mounting an exhibition of his work here in Aberdeen.
The exhibition Just One More by Kieran Dodds will be housed in the Marischal Museum and will run from Thursday September 22nd, probably through to Christmas.
The following photographs are from Kieran's award winning portfolio.

August 11 2005: Robert Brown and the Year of Einstein
One day in 1827 Robert Brown, the eminent botanist and Aberdeen Graduate, was looking at tiny pollen grains suspended in still water through his microscope. He noticed that yet tinier particles within the pollen grains were moving in an incessant, irregular manner that is now called "Brownian motion". Little did he know of how important his observations were to be in the development of Albert Einstein's ideas three quarters of a century later.
Although the existence of atoms and molecules was still open to debate in 1905, Einstein predicted that the random motions of molecules in a liquid impacting on larger suspended particles would result in irregular, random motions of the particles, which could be directly observed under a microscope. The predicted motion corresponded precisely with the puzzling Brownian motion. From this motion Einstein accurately determined the dimensions of the hypothetical molecules in one of his seminal 1905 papers.
Microscope c.1830. Similar to that used by Brown.
Marischal Museum collection
The University Zoology Museum, the Marischal Museum and the University Collection of Scientific Instruments are to celebrate the achievements of Brown and Einstein with a joint exhibition that will open on August 29th in the foyer of the Natural Philosophy Building (Fraser Noble Building).

May 23 2005: A sabre-toothed tiger is coming to Aberdeen!
Thanks to the generosity of our visitors and well-wishers, the Zoology Museum has recently acquired an exquisite replica of the skeleton of the extinct sabre toothed-tiger Smilodon fatalis from the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles.
Sabre tooth under construction
What we are aiming for!
The 231 separate bones that constitute the skeleton are currently being mounted by local taxidermist Sandy Anderson in his workshop in rural Aberdeenshire.
We plan to have the skeleton ready for public display when the museum re-opens in October 2005.
May 23 2005: temporary closure of the museum
Because of major building works in the Zoology Building the Zoology Museum and the Natural History Centre will close on June 10th 2005.

Easter prayer
April 12th, 2007For those of us who are liturgically minded and for those of us without a clue about the church calendar, Doug has a reminder: Easter Sunday, while it's the culmination of the season of Lent, is also the beginning of the season of Easter in the church calendar year.
Let us focus our minds on this prayer from Walter Brueggemann:
Not the kingdom of death
Christ is risen!
We give thanks for the gift of Easter
that runs beyond our expectations,
beyond our categories of reason,
even more, beyond the sinking sense of our own lives.
We know about the powers of death,
powers that persist among us,
powers that drive us from you, and
from our neighbour, and
from our best selves.
We know about the powers of fear and greed and anxiety,
and brutality and certitude.
powers before which we are helpless.
And then you…you at dawn, unquenched,
you in the darkness,
you on Saturday,
you who breaks the world to joy.
Yours is the kingdom…not the kingdom of death,
Yours is the power…not the power of death,
Yours is the glory…not the glory of death.
Yours…You…and we give thanks
for the newness beyond our achieving.
Walter Brueggemann, Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth

I carry it everywhere
I really like this pen carrier, and use it to carry my three favorite Pelikan fountain pens (600 series/size) everywhere (well, everywhere I bring my purse, anyway). It's very handy and makes it easy to access my pens and switch between colors. Plus it keeps them safe from damage and unlikely to be forgotten/misplaced, as the carrier's fairly noticeable. I just wish it took up a little less space - once I added it into my Marley Teardrop Multi-Zip Backpack (aka my purse), I couldn't as easily fit my Kindle in there. But I'm glad to have it, as unfortunately, the pen loops in my purse are too small for my fountain pens (except for the 320s, which sometimes stay in the purse's pen loops and sometimes fall out). The carrier is too big for my 320 fountain pens. This carrier is perfect for my 600ish Pelikans - they fit in there snugly, don't fall out, yet are easy to retrieve when I want to use them. I always have them with me, which annoys my co-workers, who'd previously been able to borrow them off my desk from my pen holders - can't say that makes me sad enough to leave them behind, though. :) Now the pen holders on my desk look a little empty, but my pens come with me and my meeting notes are more likely to consist of three colors rather than one. I also like that the color contrasts from the inside of my purse, my sunglasses (& pens) holder, my checkbook holder, and my notebooks; that means it is easy to spot in my purse when I need it. I thought the price a little high, so I bought it during a sale. I'm not sure if I'd buy another - maybe if it were available in a different gorgeous color like the cobalt or a really pretty green - but I'm glad I have it. Speaking of colors, I'm glad the inside is a neutral shade; I really didn't like the plaid inside of the bomber pen wrap, which is why I opted to buy this one, even though I would otherwise have opted to carry five fountain pens around with me. :) And, yes, that is a gentle hint that I'd like a pen wrap case in this style, though perhaps in a brilliant, eye-catching green or something else equally lovely?

Easy access
A stylish way to protect and carry three pens with easy access. You don't have to fiddle with snaps, covers, wraps, straps, zippers, etc., and I for one love that!

A Unique Pen Case
Most pen cases I have seen do not seem designed for quick and easy use. They have zippers and snaps, or are rolles, requiring two hands to be dedicated to the the task of getting or storing a pen. What I love about this case is the ease of use. Pens slide in tightly and stay where you put them, but you can still reach into your back and pull out a pen with one hand. It is quick, stylish, easy, and fits nicely into most front pockets and sleeves on briefcases and folios. My only wish is that this was available in the "Bomber Jacket" leather line. I am sort of holding out on buying another one until that happens.
March 29, 2014
beautifully made
though i was looking for a double pen holder this three slot is quite nice. now i can carry a pencil too. the leather is wonderful. the slots are snug, but i think they will loosen just a bit with use.
March 1, 2014
Keeps them safe in my briefcase
I like to have my pens with me when I go to and from work and when i travel around the world. I have been looking for a container that is appropriate for my pens and for the way I operate. This is a good compromise between protection and flexibility. The ability for this to flex slightly really helps when fitting into my briefcase or travel case. This will also keep them from getting scratched.
February 23, 2014
Leather quality
Two years ago I purchased a triple pen leather sleave in black and loved the quality and feel of the Carezza glove leather. Today I received my second one in eggplant; the leather if stiff with much less grain and a stiffer feel and the suede lining is also of poor quality. Please go back to the original manufacturer of this product even if it cost more to make. If that product is available please send me a black or eggplant triple sleave to replace the one I received today.
February 9, 2014
This beautiful leather sleeve is perfect for your best pens. The quality is fantastic, as usual, and it's the perfect size to slip into your tote or backpack.
January 12, 2014
Great bargain
Extremely pleased with this because my favorite pens are all together. I no longer waste time looking for them.
January 12, 2014
I purchased this to hold my Lamy pens in my purse and laptop bag. I have the fountain, rollerball, and ballpoint pens. All fit within the sleeves nicely.
January 4, 2014
Must Have for Pen Lovers
I purchased one for myself and one for my son. We are both addicted to beautiful pens and like to keep them that way. He uses his in his backpack and it keeps the pens from getting scratched and dust free. The one in my purse does the same thing. It is nice to have something well made and beautiful in its own right to protect our very special pens. Thanks Levenger for your fine products, I am never disappointed.

LAS VEGAS, February 7, 2011―In South Carolina and Florida, covering the candidates was easy since they were gracious enough to campaign according to my timetable. Yet by the time I arrived in Las Vegas last night, they had already left Nevada to campaign in other contests.
Mitt Romney was the big winner in the Nevada Caucus on Saturday despite Ron Paul supporters trying to cheat.
Yes, it is high time that Ron Paul, that paragon of virtue, the deity disguised as an elderly mere mortal, sees his supporters called out. They truly believe that the ends justify the means, as if they are the first group of people to see their cause as noble and virtuous while everybody else is malevolent.
The Nevada Caucus was supposed to be over by Saturday evening. However, a separate Caucus on Saturday night was held so that Orthodox Jews could vote. Naturally Ron Paul supporters felt this was a Zionist conspiracy, but it was simply a chance to allow religious Jews to observe their Sabbath without being disenfranchised.
The rules required for this after-caucus were for individuals to show proof that they were Orthodox Jews. A bunch of Ron Paul supporters showed up and voted in the after-caucus anyway, resulting in plenty of fraudulent voting. Apparently the Constitution only matters to these individuals when it suits them. They need to break the rules to save us all. The ridiculous irony was the anti-Semitic language uttered by some complaining about special treatment for Jews while voting in their after-caucus illegally.
Ron Paul supporters have complained about being labeled in many negative ways. Now the word "cheaters" can be added to the list.
Tuesday night brought four more contests. There was the Colorado Caucus, the Minnesota Caucus, the Missouri Primary, and one last special contest that thankfully received very little attention. Nevada was over for many, but in Clark County last night I participated in and covered the Las Vegas Cocktail Waitress Caucus. It would be a clean sweep either way, with nothing separating 100% success from a failed 0%.
The presidential race around America has had twists and turns. Rick Santorum won Iowa. Mitt Romney won New Hampshire. Newt Gingrich won South Carolina. Ron Paul won nothing, resulting in his supporters claiming victory after every single contest. Perhaps they use metrics that go beyond actual numbers. Mitt Romney then won Florida.
Yet the one constant in all of the races is candidates refusing to compete in states they know they will lose in, and then using that to minimize the results. Refusing to compete should not be a mitigating factor in losing, since the expected loss was the very reason the individual refused to compete to begin with.
Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich downplayed New Hampshire. Ron Paul downplayed Florida. Mitt Romney was tempted to downplay Iowa until he almost won it.
Newt Gingrich declares the importance of the debates because he excels in them. Rick Santorum declares that retail politicking matters most because that is his strength. Mitt Romney offers the electability argument because that favors him. Ron Paul pursues a caucus strategy, all but ignoring primaries where actual voters reject him in droves. Then when he loses badly in caucuses, there will be another creative way to explain why results do not matter.
Entering the Tuesday contests, Mitt Romney had over 100 delegates. New Gingrich had 32 and Santorum had 17. Ron Paul had 9 delegates, which again somehow proves that he is winning. If astroturfing Internet message boards translated into actual votes, he would be winning. It does not, and he is not.
Yet just when it looked like this was a race between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, the race delivered some stunning results to the conventional wisdom that is unconventional and totally lacking in wisdom. Rick Santorum cleaned house. He won everything on Tuesday night.
In the Colorado Caucus, Rick Santorum won 40% to 35% for Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich was far behind in third, and perpetual victory declarer Ron Paul came in dead last again. Caucuses are his strength.
The Missouri Primary was non-binding. Yet the candidates chose to compete, so to dismiss it would be wrong. Rick Santorum won big with 55% of the vote, the largest win by any of the candidates in any of the contests. Mitt Romney had 25% of the vote. Newt Gingrich failed to qualify for the ballot. Ron Paul finished with 12%. So of all of the candidates actually on the ballot, Ron Paul again came in dead last. If this bothers his supporters, the warm and fuzzy narrative is that he was still rejected by 88% of the voters.
All of the candidates were on the ballot in the Minnesota Caucus, and Rick Santorum won big with 45% of the vote. Ron Paul came in second with 27%. His supporters declared victory, because they do that. Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich came in third and fourth. Ron Paul declared "We did very well tonight." He defines losing one contest by 18 points and finishing last in the other contests as very well. He still has won absolutely nothing.
This was a big night for Rick Santorum because he won everything. It was a bad night for Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich for winning nothing. It was a bad night for Ron Paul for the exact same reason, but since they declare victory anyway, it is best to just pat them on the head, hug them, and say "Of course you did well. Great Job!" Then walk away before continue to argue while refusing to take yes for an answer.
If the Paul supporters complain about bias, then they should start acting like the other candidates who judge wins and losses by actual wins and losses.
This leads to the unfortunate results of the Las Vegas Cocktail Waitress Caucus. The success rate was 0%.
Sure, excuses could be made. Las Vegas does not count because I did not compete that hard. I wanted to conserve my "A Game" for contests that actually matter, such as South Beach, Miami, during Spring Break or Honolulu, Hawaii next month.
The number of cocktail waitresses actually hit on was zero. Yet refusing to compete is no excuse. If all the resources in my possession were thrust into this contest, would the results have been different? That will never be known.
The bottom line is an absence of rejection for refusing to risk rejection is not the same as acceptance. The Las Vegas Cocktail Caucus results were not good. There was not even any competition, since the other candidates were: 1) Not in Nevada at that time, and 2) Happily married to their spouses and not willing to risk destroying their political careers over cocktail waitresses.
The candidates will continue to make excuses for why losses do not count in virtually all circumstances.
Congratulations to Mr. Santorum for winning big in Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri. To Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Romney, another win gets you back in the game. To Mr. Paul, one win anywhere would be a first. The next event is the Maine Caucus, followed by contests in Arizona and Michigan.
Politics should be an excuse-free zone, and so should carousing. Luckily, the Las Vegas Cocktail Waitress Caucus is a two day affair. If all else fails, and the success rates do not add up, the waitress collecting my drink money wearing an Uncle Sam top hat will let me take my dollar bills and stuff the beautiful ballot boxes.

Tennesse's other giant music festival, Bonnaroo, was held last week from the June 7-10 and had a few surprise performances, one of which was The Gambler himself, Kenny Rogers.
Kenny posted to his Facebook this morning:
"I don't know how it happened, but I was asked to do "The Gambler" with Phish at Bonnaroo…how cool was that? I walk out on stage to 70,000 people, which I haven't done in 30 years, and whether they knew who I was or not, the crowd treated me with great respect because Phish treated me with great respect. You can't buy that experience." -Kenny Rogers
What a great performance. In fact, Kenny's appearance made Billboard's top 10 performances of the four-day rock and arts festival at #3.
Way to go Mr. Rogers, you've still got it.

Not at all surprised, and it's easy to get sub-par product there, too. You probably made the wisest choice. The Tucson Gun Show is today & tmrw , and as tempted as I am just to check it out, I know myself well enough that I'd get carried away & I just don't have the money right now.
I think it depends on your state, in Maryland, anything on the ban list is still over priced & FFLs are charging too much to import them while they are still legal.
If guns kill people, mine are defective.
When you said "waked out" I thought the show killed you! I was waiting for a little Swiss ammo. Finally came in. 7% higher than when I bought it pre-Newtown but I had a $15 credit to use anyway, so... 'course, I've been waiting for some specific, special, rimfire for a coupla months now but at "regular" price. One's sense of urgency dictates the prices anyone'll pay. Don't "need" 'em but I did just win an AR titanium firing pin w/Titanium Nitride coating and properly hardened 17-4 stainless steel bolt cam pin w/retaining pin -- I thought it was a bargain for $23 in all.
They used to call it 'war profiteering' Fellow firearms enthusiasts who have no scruples trying to steal from us. I spit in their general direction
If I had some extra cash, I'd go down for sure...never know what you'll come across & I just ignore vendors that are overpricing their merchandise. It's a shame but I'm not going bankrupt for it. Uugghh...now I'm considering going. Bad influences! All of ya!

not attempting to de-rail the thread here, but I just wanted to say that when I was in school, we would go to "computer" which was basically just our class sitting in the computer lab playing Oregon Trail for an hour. anyway, my friends and I would have competitions for who could kill off all their settlers the quickest. the epitaphs were awesome (and sometimes they would even save!).

The Hafod Copper Works in an abandoned industrial site that lies on the banks of the River Tawe in the Lower Swansea Valley. Once the world's largest copper works, the site is now derelict and in dire need of regeneration & redevelopment.
While many bodies are currently working to bring about the regeneration of the site, it is my specific task to develop imaginative and inventive visitor experiences at the site. This will be achieved through a range of different technologies - mainly those that are handheld and accessible to all.
Progress and developments at the site will be posted here as they occur.
05/02/2013 - Work Begins On-site!
Groundwork are the company that have been appointed to carry out the regeneration work at the site. You can keep up to date with their developments on their Hafod & Morfa Copperworks blog.
16/02/2012 - Funding Secured
We've managed to secure £5,000 of funding to incorporate technology into the site. We hope to spend this money on high-end projectors and sound to place on site.

First, let me say, the phrase "Old Wives Tale" does bother me a bit. So, it's just us women spreading these false rumors huh? Poo. Men are guilty too.  Now that that's off my chest, let's run through a list of five of my personal favorite health rumors that are oh so fun to catch people on. If you're armed with the proper knowledge, you can win every time, after all, who doesn't like to be right?   Â
Cracking your knuckles will lead to arthritis – FALSE. Oh boy, my old college roommate would have had severely arthritic fingers long ago if this one were true.  The pop of a cracking knuckle is the result of the burst of air bubbles in the fluid surrounding the joint. The air will return to the knuckle in about 25-30 minutes, thus making the knuckle cracking possible once again. A knuckle cracking habit, while annoying to others, won't send you down an arthritic road. But, cracking may not come completely without damage. A study done Raymond Brodeur involving 300 knuckle crackers showed that those who cracked most often had tissue damage and a decrease in grip strength, likely from repeated stretching of the joint.
For more info on knuckle cracking, check out this article by Discovery Health.            Â
You lose most of your body heat through your head – FALSE. The old saying that 40-45% of the body's heat is lost through the head just doesn't hold. If that were the case, going outside in cold temperatures without a hat would feel like going out without pants on. It turns out covering up one part of the body has as much effect to combat the cold as covering up another. But, studies have shown that the face, head and chest are more sensitive to the cold which makes it feel much better to cover them up on a cold day.Â
More info on heat loss in a medical research report from The Guardian. Â
Sugar makes kids hyper – FALSE. What?!? Taking away the sugar won't keep my child under wraps? I don't want to know that this one is false, after all they're taking away my power, right? Surprisingly, a number of scientific studies have shown that sugar doesn't make children hyper. In fact, in those studies, children did not behave differently at all when given sugar full or sugar free diets.  But, this shouldn't be a cause to let your child load up on sugary sweets. Consequences like excess weight, tooth decay and vitamin deficiency still lurk.
More from the Businessweek article that summarizes a study from the British Medical Journal.      Â
Eating too much sugar can cause diabetes – FALSE. First, I don't know anyone who wants diabetes, and for good reason. Fatigue, numbness and tingling and blurred vision are just some of the symptoms. To realize what causes diabetes is to learn more about the two types of diabetes. So here it goes, from the mouth of the American Diabetes Association. "Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetics and unknown factors that trigger the onset of the disease; type 2 diabetes is caused by genetics and lifestyle factors. Being overweight does increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and a diet high in calories, whether from sugar or from fat, can contribute to weight gain. If you have a history of diabetes in your family, eating a healthy meal plan and regular exercise are recommended to manage your weight."  There you have it. Sugar is a means of adding calories to your diet but not a direct cause of diabetes.Â
Click here for more about diabetes and its effects on the human body from the American Diabetes Association.
Eating spicy foods or stress cause ulcers – FALSE. As I learned from a college biology course, eating spicy food or being stressed does not cause ulcers, a bacteria called helicobacter pylori does….and I didn't even have to look up the spelling on that one. Some medications can also cause stomach ulcers. Is this a surprise to you? It's certainly a common myth. An ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the digestive tract.  While stress and spicy foods will not cause an ulcer, they sure can exacerbate them.  So the real question for those suffering from ulcers is, how do I get rid of helicobacter pylori? They are a tough group to kill because they live in the lining of the stomach. Good news, a combination of acid reducing medications and a course of antibiotics can help. Talk with your doctor to find out the best course of treatment for you. Â

Using an in-house brand of tangy, sweet sauces, steaming stacks of ribs, and homespun slow rubs, the family recipes behind Quick Q BBQ deliver authentic, smoky, home-style flavor. Strap a bib around wayward beards and take a gander at the menu, on which heaping plates of ribs, chicken, ham, and mullet await the maws of barbecue connoisseurs. The meat not only falls off the bone but also practically hops in the mouth, chews itself, and writes it all off as a business expense. Barbecue plates come with iced tea and a variety of meat choices, including a jaw-dropping, chin-mopping stack of pulled pork with baked beans and mac 'n' cheese ($9.50) or an entire smoked chicken with mac 'n' cheese and fries ($12.50). Light lunchers can stock their own bags of bones with a three-bone rib sandwich with fries ($6.99), paired with 8-ounce house-made Southern sides such as potato salad, coleslaw, and collard greens ($1.99 each). Crank open your auxiliary stomach for dessert; Quick Q's sugary slew of cherry and peach cobblers ($0.93) and rum cake ($2.99/slice) high five tongues and fist pound bellies. Sidle up to one of Quick Q's tables clad in a checkered tablecloth, or pull up to the drive-thru to bring victuals home to pod people masquerading as your real family.
Apple Spice Junction's menus spring from a deep love of deli cuisine and a fervent desire to make lunch the standout meal of the day. At the eatery, chefs layer fresh-baked breads with deli meats and cheeses to create a slew of of hearty sandwiches. Though individual offerings change based on location, sandwiches may include chomp-worthy bites such as sugar-cured virginia ham and classic pastrami-and-swiss. Patrons who would rather stay inside can order box lunches teeming with dill pickles, desserts, and a choice of side. Apple Spice Junction's friendly delivery team also directs catering trays toward offices and sets up stations that can include build-your-own breakfasts, baked potatoes, and sandwich platters.
Funky Monkey Wine Company knows how to fill a glass, but it's the way they fill plates that has earned them a dedicated following and multiple best-of awards from OpenTable diners. Chef de Cuisine Ashley Nickell creates seasonally-inspired Italian entrees such as bruschetta del giorno and pork saltimbocca, prepared with the skills she showcased on The Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen. Entrees pair with an extensive wine list, and a special wine dinner series presents special menus with accompanying varietals to highlight complementary flavors.

We are losing our 10 year old white alder due to phytopthora. It is planted in our lawn, and once we get it removed, I would like to plant another tree to provide shade in front of our house. My question is...what can I plant now that won't get this disease? I live on the central coast in Paso Robles, CA. Any tips on what tree and if there are ways I can treat the soil once the alder is out? |
Follow-Up Postings:
List of resistant plants in link. To a certain extent, it may be a cultural problem (excess water, insufficient drainage). Davis states fungicide fosetyl-al (Aliette) may help, but a tree that can stand up to living in a lawn is likely the way to go. River birch, Ginko, Liquidambar, Magnolia listed as resistant, but Liquidambar has a lot of problems all its own. Some Magnolia can get huge with huge root systems, choose carefully. Ginko (male cultivars only, females had stinky fruit) are quite nice. Also check the Sunset Western Garden Book, I think they have a category of "trees that do well in lawns". |
Here is a link that might be useful: phytothoptera resistant plants
Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention I had planted a birch tree next to my alder just a few months back (before I noticed my alder was dying), however I don't think it is a river birch. It may be a silver birch. Is this likely to get the disease as well? |
Birch is likely to have a very short life in your lawn. The folks planted three here that were lovely while they lasted. Al |

The Summer in Government Field Placement Course offers students a unique opportunity to spend seven weeks working in the capital of New York state under the supervision of a lawyer-mentor.
Students wishing to experience government lawyering in a "real-life" learning laboratory will work side-by-side with policymakers, decision makers and other lawyers on a wide range of law and public policy issues. Students will also explore overarching issues in law practice, professional responsibility and public policy through classroom presentations from government and other attorneys, in-class assignments and exercises and reflective journaling.
All law students who have completed one year at an ABA-approved law school are eligible to apply for this unique experience. Participation in this course requires a daily physical presence in New York's Capital Region.
All four credit field placements require students to work at their assigned offices for a minimum of 168 hours for the semester (approx. 24 hours/week during the 7 week summer term). Students must arrange their schedule directly with the placement. It is recommended that students schedule large blocks of time and consult with their supervising attorney as to days/times that are most advantageous to work. (e.g., when trials, hearing, meetings, conferences, etc. are likely to take place.)
Students are also required to participate in a weekly, two-hour classroom component at Albany Law School. Students must complete all class assignments and program-related paper work, and attend a mid-semester meeting in order to receive credit for the course.
The Summer in Government Field Placement Course carries a total of 4 academic credits. These credits are earned through completion of the course requirements.
Whether the student is drafting legislation or rule making, preparing for legislative or administrative hearings, participating in policy meetings or conferences, or supporting a litigation team, or engaging in other lawyering tasks, students will benefit from, and gain an appreciation for, the varied skills required to be an effective lawyer. Students will also have a unique opportunity to gain an insider's view of the inner-workings of government, and to network with government lawyers, officials and other practitioners.
Most State agencies and public law offices can host field placement students for the summer.
For a complete list of possible government and public service placements and for additional information including links to placement websites, click here. Or from the main Albany Law School website, click on Clinic & Justice Center, then Field Placement Clinic, then Available Placements. Not all placements listed are available during summer term, and some placements have specific application requirements.
In order to secure a placement that is customized to a student's particular interests or goals, notice of intent to participate in this course must be given by the student to the placement coordinator by March 22.
Students interested in a Summer in Government placement may contact Robert Batson, email@example.com, placement coordinator/course instructor, at the Government Law Center to set up an appointment to obtain more information about the course and to discuss interests and placement options.
Albany Law School students planning to enroll in the course must apply on the Career Services Manager (CSM). Students from other law schools should contact Robert Batson, email@example.com, placement coordinator/course instructor, for an application.
During the placement process, students will likely be asked to participate in an interview with a placement Supervising Attorney. Interviews may be evaluative, but are typically used as an opportunity for the Supervising Attorney to meet the student, to discuss his or her interests, describe the work of the agency or office, identify the type of assignments and tasks available, and determine whether the placement fits with the student's interests, goals, and expectations.
Upon acceptance at a placement office, students will then be instructed to sign a placement confirmation card at the Government Law Center.
Upon receipt of the confirmation card from the Government Law Center, the Registrar's Office will add the course to the student's summer session schedule.
Students planning to enroll in the course will be required to pay the appropriate tuition and fees for summer session. The registration deadline for the 2013 summer session is May 20. Questions concerning financial aid should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.

- Step 1
Gather your supplies.
- Step 2
Roll three white balls: small, medium and large.
- Step 3
Make sure the largest ball has a flat bottom so the snowman will stand up.
- Step 4
Cut two pins so that you can connect the three balls together.
- Step 5
Using a ballpoint pen, make indentions into the middle ball so you can put the buttons on.
- Step 6
Roll up two small balls and put them in the holes you've created for the buttons.
- Step 7
Repeat this process for the eyes. For the eyebrows, you can use a pin to make small lines.
- Step 8
To create the scarf, roll out a long blue strip, keeping one end thick. Use a pin to cut away tiny strips in the thicker end of the scarf.
- Step 9
Wrap the scarf twice around the snowman, so that it falls down to his side and covers his mouth.
- Step 10
Cut down two pins and bend them to create the shape for the arms.
- Step 11
Roll and flatten out a strip of brown. Wrap it around the pin. Leave a small piece uncovered so you can stick it into his sides. Add a small piece to the end so that it looks like he has a hand.
- Step 12
Stick the arms into the body.
- Step 13
Start with a ball of black Sculpey and form it into the hat. Roll out and flatten a small strip of red. Create a buckle using gold/yellow clay. Wrap this piece around the hat.
- Step 14
Using another pin, secure the hat to the head.
- Step 15
Create a base for the snowman by rolling out a red piece of clay and forming it into the shape of a circle. I used a small measuring cup to cut around the border. Roll out a long piece of white clay and wrap it around the edges. Place your snowman on the circle and bake at 275 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.
- Step 16
You're finished! If you'd like a shiny snowman, you can apply clear glaze or spray a clear acrylic sealer over him. Interested in more crafting? Visit World of WarCrafts!

I use this top coat pretty much exclusively. First of all, it is cheap (less than $2) and secondly, it really makes my nail polish last. Of course, you must let your color dry completely and then add the top coat. Once that is applied, it dries quite fast, which is good for me since I tend to do my nails really late at night for whatever reason.
I have also used this to place gems and glitter on my nails, since I do them exclusively. It works great for placing gems and when putting it over them, they do not dull in their shine.
I love this stuff. I use my hands a lot, whether it's at school with gloves (dissections) or the dishes (no dish-washer) and my nails can last anywhere from 7 to 10 days, no joke. My toenails can last 2-3 weeks, excluding growth.
Another top coat I have is the Sally Hansen Hard Nails, and honestly, this wet-and-wild performs much better even though it is cheaper!!
I stock up on this while its on sale not because it is expensive but because I use this obsessively. Its the perfect top coat. I hate spending 9 dollars on an OPI or other brand for clear polish. This dries relatively fast and it dries hard. I have zero tolerance for a gummy or sticky finish. In order to avoid dragging you must apply with a heavy hand. I know it will seem like a lot and you'd be scared that it won't properly dry but it does. Its pretty shiny but not the shiniest. It helps prolong my mani/pedis.
I got this from drugstore.com for $1.99 mainly because I needed that much more in my cart to get free shipping on some OPI polishes, and I'm so glad I did. It makes my mani last longer and dries very quickly. You can't beat the price either.

I'm very impressed with this little topcoat! Let me tell you why.
The price is great, of course. It does dry fairly quickly. It's dry to the touch after 5 minutes, and completely dry in just a little over half an hour, I think. Maybe 40 minutes, tops. I usually do my nails before bed, and I was able to sleep and not wake up to any sheet marks. The finish is nice and shiny, could possibly be a *little* shinier, but maybe that's just me. ^_^
It *does* color drag on most polishes, at least, most of the ones I own. I found that the trick to avoiding this, however, is to coat pretty thickly. Don't be afraid of having too much on the brush. Too little and you'll start color dragging. It does self-level quite nicely. I thought I had a huge glob on one nail one time and it flattened out on its own as it dried and was perfect. I also had a small dent in the polish once, then used this tc, and was surprised that I couldn't find the dent the next day. It smoothed the dent out by itself. Nice!
The cons are that it does do the 'tip-pulling' thing that everyone talks about, and it doesn't seem to prolong manis much. I've usually got chipping within 24 hours. The shinyness seems to dull pretty quickly, too.
I honestly think this stuff is just as good as more expensive ds topcoats, like Sally Hansen and such. If you're on a budget, give this little gal a try, you might just like her! And if you don't, it's not that big of a hit in the wallet. ;)

This top coat does "drag" the nail polish. Since it drags the nail polish, I usually use this as a touch up kind of top coat or I put a clear over my nailpolish, then this top coat. It works AMAZING. Dries very quickly, very very nice price and is very shiny! consdier checking it out!
Color me pleasantly surprised! I love that it's quick dry, and it adds an incredible shine to manis/pedis. The first time I used it one of my classmates asked if I had just gotten my toes done! Wear is decent -- you could probably squeeze 5 days out of it without major chipping, though tip wear would definitely be showing by then. I'm definitely going to grab more of this in case WnW discontinues it. :)

I adore this topcoat! it dries quickly, and depending on the polish i use my mani can last up 3 days virtually chip free. and i'm an artist so i use my hands all the time. for the price, this topcoat is unbeatable.
LOVE IT! I always do my own mani/pedi's & I haven't used a top coat in awhile (because I use OPI & Essie & they stay on pretty long) but I have been wanting more of a shine to my manicures & this is perfect!! My nailpolish hasn't chipped in over 3 days (that's long for me) & they are still super shiny! Super cheap, go get it!

I bought this after a friend recommended it, and I was very surprised. I am a Seche Vite and expensive polish kind of girl, so sometimes I look down on drugstore polishes. This top coat really exceeded my expectations. It is very shiny, and dries almost as quickly as Seche. I would say that it is more likely to show scratches, but for $1.99 I could buy a new bottle and just use a coat everyday. So far it's been really thin (I'm about halfway through the bottle) and the brush is really long and I feel like I will be able to use more of this than my Seche Vite.
Overall: A cheap alternative to Seche Vite for those who are on a budget.

Illinois state law requires people to have a carbon monoxide detector within 15-feet of their sleeping room.

Give me some ideas here- running a new deck and would like some pointers on how best to make it work and how to play it:
3x Den of the Wolf
2x Widow's Watch
3x Balerio
3x Danaerys Targaryen- QOD
QOD- Drogon, Viserion, Rhaegal
2x Young Grif
some Maesters for only Dragon Lore and Copper Link
At night they howl
Fighting Pit
I want to be last player in a melee round- use my stand tactics to help if I HAD to defend in the round and then initiate attacks with my dragons- 3 UO then use the Den of the Wolf and challenge again while they are all knelt out. I didn't have room to put in Make an Example and if this looks like a good enough idea- I will post the entire deck. This could be a game ender if used properly and not much anyone can do to stop it. I am using the event card that kneels a Maester to force new plot so I can protect against Valar.
What do you think about Den of the Wolf in targ?

A zeppelin descending through snow and searchlights, docking at the tip of the Empire State Building in 1930s New York. For years, this image has drifted through Kerry Conran's mind like an untethered dirigible. Beats him how it got there. Maybe it was something he saw during his childhood in Flint, Mich., where every Sunday a local TV station would broadcast a day's worth of vintage Hollywood programming. Or maybe it was something he read. Young Conran was mad for comic books, too -- old ones, like the sleek sci-fi from legendary '50s publisher EC. However that blimp got into his head, Conran was determined to get it out: ''I just had to see it brought to life.''
A long, risky filmmaking journey later, Conran is finally seeing just that. With Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, opening Sept. 17, the first-time director has found an outlet for not only his zeppelin but every sepia-toned iota of his retro-lovin' imagination. ''Raiders of the Lost Ark filtered through Fritz Lang's Metropolis'' is how the 38-year-old describes his art deco action-adventure. Chockablock with giant robots, flying robots, underwater robots, and. . . well, a lot of robots, plus Angelina Jolie as a British naval officer with an eye patch, Sky Captain is indeed a paean to the whimsy and innocence of its pulp-pop source material. Yet the process that produced it was as modern as The Matrix.
Sky Captain started life as a one-man production. In 1994, Conran -- who graduated from CalArts' School of Film and Video with an emphasis in animation -- set out to make a live-action movie the way he would have made a 2-D cartoon. Instead of combining separately drawn backgrounds and characters to produce a single shot, he would use computer tools to meld film footage, photo reference, and animation. A scene in which, say, New Yorkers flee from a robot army marching down Sixth Avenue would combine footage of actors shot against bluescreen, doctored pics of Manhattan, and a variety of computer-generated effects (like coloring and lighting).
Working out of his garage with a Mac IIci and homemade bluescreen, Conran toiled for four years to produce just six minutes of footage. By this time, he was being assisted by his older brother Kevin, an illustrator, who suggested Kerry consider getting more money, equipment, and hands if he wanted to finish his movie before he was 50. So they worked the only Hollywood connection they had: Kevin's wife knew someone who worked with Jon Avnet, the producer of such sci-fi/fantasy landmarks as. . . Fried Green Tomatoes and Risky Business. ''I was blown away by their footage,'' says Avnet, who was intrigued by the film's technique and Indiana Jones-meets-Buck Rogers concept. ''This is a movie by the nerds, for the nerds, but just so happens to have non-nerd crossover potential. I'm the nerd-friendly emissary.''
After guiding Kerry through two years of screenwriting, Avnet used the script and zeppelin footage to land Jude Law (who also agreed to produce), Gwyneth Paltrow, and an estimated $70 million in independent financing. Paramount would later acquire U.S. distribution rights for an estimated $40 million. Avnet had originally considered setting Sky Captain up at a Hollywood studio, and was even close to a deal with one. ''But I just had this sixth sense that Kerry would be crushed by the experience,'' says Avnet. ''He had this very unique vision that could not withstand the ''explaining'' process. Not taking the deal was one of the tougher decisions we made, but we had to try.''

Juniper Networks Rolls Out Three New Products for 4G-Minded Operators
By Marisa Torrieri, TMCnet Editor
In the week leading up to Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) and Valentine's Day, Juniper Networks showed some love to mobile operators, unveiling three new products that address the immediate need to optimize traffic, reduce network complexity and make migration to 4G a whole lot easier.
In a pre-show interview with TMCnet, Mallik Tatipamula, VP of service provider marketing for Juniper, addressed the "pain points" of mobile operators – and exactly how Juniper's three solutions address them.
"For the first time in the mobile industry, we are seeing a paradigm shift," Tatipamula told TMCnet. "Four percent of subscribers are using 3G cards and dongles, generating 70 percent of total traffic on the network."
At the show, to be held Feb. 15-18, Juniper will be on hand to discuss and demonstrate the three products – part of Juniper's "Project Falcon" initiative announced in October – all of which are based on the Junos software platform and Juniper's MX 3D Series Routers. These routers deliver 3D scaling technology that helps networks scale dynamically to support more bandwidth, subscribers and services.
"The problem that operators are really seeing is that the 3G data traffic, about 70 percent of traffic, is consuming every link in the mobile operator's network," Tatipamula told TMCnet.
Enter Juniper Networks' (News - Alert) Product #1 – Juniper Traffic Direct – to address the experience and cost challenges caused by the exponential growth of mobile data traffic due to smartphones, netbooks and notebooks. To become available in the second quarter of this year, Juniper Traffic Direct works to "optimize" mobile data traffic by combining intelligent subscriber and application policies with MX 3D scaling to offload bulk data traffic directly to the Internet.
The result is a better mobile experience sans service disruptions or expensive upgrades.
The second rollout, Juniper Media Flow, optimizes mobile and fixed networks for fast, efficient video and rich media delivery. This, according to Juniper, gives users of smartphones and other gadgets a TV-like experience, while yielding "total cost of ownership" reductions for mobile operators. The product, to roll out in the second quarter of 2010, does this by leveraging advanced software from Juniper partner Ankeena Networks.
Juniper Mobile Core Evolution -- the third solution of the batch – will provide an open and secure packet core to monetize data-intensive services on the same network. MCE, to roll out in the fourth quarter this year, will leverage MX3D routers and Junos software to deliver 3G and 4G gateway capabilities while accelerating service innovation and time to market with "uncompromised scaling across bandwidth, subscribers and services," according to Juniper.
"Mobile operators face a difficult challenges as they try to improve the mobile experience and deliver new services, while simultaneously reducing service delivery costs," said Kim Perdikou, executive VP and general manager of Juniper's Infrastructure Products Group. "No one else can offer immediate TCO relief for mobile operators, while delivering unmatched 3D scale, built-in security, seamless 3G/4G migration and open platforms to monetize new services."

Caron Butler Spotted in Beverly Hills (Photo)
Caron Butler
Posted: Apr 11 2013 by: Jon Rapoport
Story Type:
Subcategories: NBA
Story Location: Beverly Hills, CA, United States
Story Date: Apr 8 2013 - 01:00
Already in his eleventh professional season, Los Angeles Clippers forward Caron Butler has put together a very solid and respectable NBA career. With one NBA championship ring (member of the 2011 Mavericks, though was injured for the postseason) and two All-Star selections on his résumé, the UConn alum has been known as a strong scorer and effective defender, when running the floor for the five franchises he has spent time with (MIA, LAL, WAS, DAL, LAC).
Earlier this week, iFolloSports.com contributor Reuben Benhaghnazar spotted Butler walking down Beverly Drive, in Beverly Hills, California. Adorned in a Bruce Lee tee-shirt, Butler was carrying a recently purchased LA Times, which happened to display a photo of him from the previous day's division clinching win over the Lakers. Reuben noted that Butler was a good guy, who was more than happy to pose for this less "action packed" picture, as compared to the one that could be seen on the sports section's front cover. Reuben was a little surprised regarding Butler's height. In person, Reuben felt that the Wisconsin native's 6'7" listed frame may involve a tiny bit of media guide exaggeration.
2012-2013 marks Butler's second season with the Clippers, amid his second NBA stint in Los Angeles. After spending his first two seasons in Miami, Butler found himself a part of one of the most significant trades in NBA history. Butler, and a package of players that also included current teammate Lamar Odom, were dealt to the Lakers in exchange for some guy named Shaquille O'Neal. Remarkably, Butler and Odom have been teammates with the Heat, Lakers and Clippers.
Butler's inaugural LA experience lasted only one season, as he was sent to Washington, in a deal that brought the chronically underachieving Kwame Brown to LA.
Butler signed a three-year contract with the Clippers, prior to the lockout-shortened 2011-2012 campaign. After averaging more than 15 points per game, during 10 of his first 11 seasons, Butler has seen his productively fall to an average of 12.0 PPG last season and 10.5 PPG this season. Despite this situation, the 33-year-old stands as a very key cog, in the deep and talented Clippers quest for postseason glory. His veteran presence and bench scoring will surely come in handy for the upstart, former "other team" from LA LA Land.
In whichever manner Butler's career finishes, the man who will have earned nearly $80 million of salary (once his current Clippers contract concludes) will most certainly refocus his efforts to the world of business. Butler, who already serves as the proprietor of six Burger King franchises in Virginia and North Carolina, has expressed interest in following Magic Johnson's remarkable journey from NBA player to highly successful businessman. Despite playing for the rival Clippers, one has to think that Butler takes advantage of every possible opportunity to spend some time with the Magic Man. Ironically, Johnson's office happens to sit just a few blocks from where Butler was seen walking down the street, on the very day of this sighting.
