Hotel Raphael, Rome
A favorite of Italian politicians, the ivy-covered Hotel Raphael is located just outside the Piazza Navona, within walking distance of the Pantheon and Spanish Steps. Inside, the lobby is decorated with a museum-quality art collection that includes Picasso ceramics and paintings by Miró and de Chirico. Most of the 50 guestrooms have hardwood floors and antique furnishings, while the two executive floors—designed by renowned architect Richard Meier—are more modern, with oak, leather, and Carrera marble accents. The rooftop restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine amid panoramic views of the city, including the Pantheon, Piazza di Spagna, and St. Peter's Basilica.
Room to Book:
The classic guestrooms are very small, even by Roman standards, making the larger Meier rooms (which also include complimentary champagne) well worth the extra cost.
Insider Tip:
Make sure to visit the nearby Frigidarium for some of the city's best gelato, available in flavors like pistachio, raspberry, ginger, and bacio (chocolate hazelnut).

I'm looking for advice about when to do my last mow for the season. I did my last fertilization on Oct 15th. I'm in northern Virginia, near DC. Also does anyone have thoughts about cutting height for the last mow? I've heard annecdotally to mow low for the final cut, but often the conventional wisdom isn't right. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There is no set date. Cool season grasses will stop growing when soil temps fall below a certain temperature. This time of year your grass should be growing less and less as winter nears. Right now I am mowing every two weeks, and I suspect in 2 or 3 weeks topgrowth will be done, you are probably 2 or 3 weeks behind me being in VA. The general recommendation is to mow shorter for your last mow, but not so short as to scalp the lawn, 1.5 -2 inches. This will lower your chances of snow mold and other early season diseases. |
The height of the last mowing does seem to warrant a shorter cut which has its merits and others feel it isn't necessary. So please yourself. My schedule of when to put the mower to bed is determined by the amount of leaves that I am forced to wait for. I did put my mower to bed just last week when I figured I've picked up 90% of the leaves that has fallen and the rest will probably blow away with the winds. Some trees on the street still have 90% of their canopy--real hangers-on. If the owners don't get to raking when the temperatures drop in earnest, they might have lawn problems in the spring. As far as my lawn, I gave its last mowing a month ago and any growing it does will probably die back anyway and so I'm not concerned about what it might do. |
I believe there is no set date for the last mowing of the seasons. It is more dependent on weather conditions than any thing else. I live in central Indiana. Because of the lack of rain my last mowing of the season was about 13 weeks ago. We received very little rain during August and most of September, and the grass did not grow. About a month ago I went over the yard with the mower, just to level it off so it was easy to blow the leaves. So in my opinion, does the grass height indicate that it needs mowing? |
I keep mulch mowing until all the leaves are gone. Re height: In northern climates, the recommendation is to mow shorter. That minimized the pocket of air that can get trapped beneath the snow and cuts down on snow mold problems. In Virginia, you aren't going to see much/any benefit from that. |
- Posted by jrodriguez90 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 9, 10 at 14:02
Thanks everyone for the responses. As seemed to be suggested, I'll let the grass tell me when its time to put the mower to bed for the season. I usually mow at 3", so maybe for the last mow once its stopped growing, I'll go down to 2.5 or so. Bill - in most years you would be completely right about not worrying about snow mold too much over here, but given last year it is something to keep in the back of your mind. Of course I can guarantee that it won't be a problem this year because I bought snow insurance! (I went in with some neighbors on a snow-blower) |
I do my last mowing Thanksgiving weekend and cut at 2". All leaves are down by then! |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The following is a selection of quotes from editorials and commentaries
carried in 5-6 December 2011 website editions of mainland Chinese, Hong
Kong and Taiwan newspapers and news portals available to BBC Monitoring.
Unless otherwise stated, the quotes are in Chinese. The figure in
brackets after the quote indicates the date of publication on the
Afghanistan, Pakistan
Beijing's Renmin Ribao (Chinese Communist Party newspaper People's
Daily) domestic edition: www.people.com.cn "...Analysts believe that the
absence of Pakistan and other key stakeholders has greatly discounted
the outcome of this meeting [in Bonn on 5 December]... Pakistan's
absence has cast a shadow over the International Conference on
Afghanistan in Bonn..." (Guan Kejiang, reporter, Bonn; Mou Zongcong,
reporter, Islamabad) (6)
Headline: "Difficult for Pakistan-US relations to improve in the short
2. "...[US President] Obama had no choice but to come out and express
'condolences' more than a week after the incident [NATO bombing of
Pakistani border post on 26 November]. This highlights the severity of
the crisis that US-Pakistan relations have fallen into, and also exposes
the internal differences in the US government over policy on Pakistan.
The differences and struggle for dominance between the US State
Department and the Department of Defence over policy on Pakistan is
increasingly evident... Obama refused to apologize because he fears
accusations of being weak by Republican opponents..." (Mou Zongcong,
reporter, Islamabad; Wang Tian, reporter, Washington) (6)
Beijing's Guangming Ribao (Chinese Communist Party newspaper):
www.gmw.com.cn "...Due to the occurrence of a series of grave incidents,
including the assassination of bin Laden [Usamah Bin-Ladin], the
'memo-gate' incident and the '26 November' incident, it will leave a
haze of mutual hostility over public opinion in the US and Pakistan and
mutual trust between the two sides will decrease further in future. But
they can still manage to maintain a strategic relationship on the
surface." (Zhou Rong, reporter, Islamabad) (6)
Beijing's Jiefangjun Bao (Liberation Army Daily): www.pladaily.com.cn
"...The air raid incident has indeed created a 'crisis' for US-Pakistan
relations, but 'crisis breeds opportunity'... 'Cooperation with dignity'
may become a future development path of US-Pakistan relations. In fact,
the US military said Pakistan's recent adjustment of military rules
allowing border troops to 'carry out a counter-attack without reporting
to superiors' when coming under attack (including NATO attacks) was
'understandable' and believed that this was the Pakistan military's
'right to self-defence'. This seems to be a sign that the two sides' are
gradually forming a tacit understanding in terms of 'cooperation with
dignity'." (Zhao Shixing) (6)
Syria, Libya
Headline: "Who has violated human rights?"
Beijing's Renmin Ribao overseas edition: "...The Syrian government gave
tit-for-tat on 3rd and strongly condemned the resolution adopted by the
UN [Human Rights Council] as unfair, stressing that the resolution was
based entirely on hostile forces creating rumours to incite and false
information. This scene somewhat resembled the situation before the
Libyan war... A referee's code is 'fairness', but the UN has not held
this bottom line. More than 130 countries support the Palestinians
joining the UN, but obstruction by several countries has literally
strangled this idea in the cradle. After a number of countries rejected
the implementation of a no-fly zone in Libya, a small number of
countries actually adopted a resolution on setting up a no-fly zone in
Libya. The initial founding of the UN was hijacked by Europe and the US.
Could this be why decades later, the UN has not progressed, but is still
standing at its original place?.." (Yang Ziyan, reporter) (6)
China-US relations
Beijing's China Daily (state-run newspaper) in English:
www.chinadaily.com.cn "...President Hu Jintao's state visit to the US at
the start of this year was a sign of goodwill to patch up bilateral
differences and forge stronger ties in 2011. But Sino-US ties spiralled
downward thanks to US arms sales to Taiwan, the South China Sea dispute,
tension over the yuan's exchange rate, and the recent Trans-Pacific
Partnership [TPP] proposed by Washington... The US' policy toward China
is expected to undergo a psychological transition, from enjoying the
upper hand to sliding into a disadvantageous position, which will affect
Sino-US relations profoundly. Asia-Pacific issues, including the tension
on the Korean Peninsula, the transfer of power in Taiwan and the South
China Sea dispute, too, will pave a rocky path for Sino-US relations
next year..." (Prof Jin Canrong, deputy dean, School of International
Studies, Renmin University of China, Beijing) (6)
Russian Duma election
Beijing's Renmin Ribao domestic edition: "...Although voter turnout
declined, the United Russia party that has ruled for eight years
retained its position as the largest party in the Duma and also kept
more than half of its seats in the Duma, which has created a stable
political base for Russia's future development..." (Shi Xiaohui, Tan
Wujun, Zhang Xiaodong, reporters, Moscow) (6)
2. "...When analysing the 'double dip' in voter turnout and the votes
won by the 'ruling party', some attribute the main reason as the public
'yearning for the new and growing tired of the old'. This view certainly
has some justification. But on a deeper level, the combination of no
'suspense' and a 'double dip' has reflected an inner conflict among the
Russian populace... Once bitten, twice shy. The Russians have a strong
fear of political stagnation..." (Zhong Sheng, senior editor) (6)
Beijing's Huanqiu Shibao (Global Times) website: www.huanqiu.com "The
United Russia party that supports [Russian Prime Minister] Putin in the
State Duma elections received barely half of the votes, far less than
expected by the party. Western media opinion invariably believes that
this election was a 'major setback' for Putin. Compared with the enraged
accusations that the election was 'all show' and even a 'joke' the day
beforehand, Western media opinion was generally quite happy yesterday...
The right to judge how reasonable or unreasonable a country's political
system is cannot be monopolized by the West..." (Editorial) (6)
Beijing's Global Times (English-language edition of state-run newspaper
Huanqiu Shibao) website in English: www.globaltimes.cn "Vladimir Putin's
United Russia struggled to retain its majority in the State Duma
election... Putin is known for his hawkish approach in dealing with the
West. Therefore, the West may only recognize Russia's democracy if the
ballot box can remove Putin from the Kremlin. The fairness of the
process, however, is not their concern... We should not directly import
the Western model, as that will make us become a secondary state,
inferior to the West both in political and comprehensive competition..."
(Editorial) (6)
Beijing's China Central Television (CCTV) Global Watch programme, dated
5 December 1430 gmt (2230-2300 Beijing local time): www.cctv.com
"...This was not so much a case of strong rivals, but rather a number of
shortcomings of United Russia itself resulted in fewer votes than four
years ago... Since the 2008 financial crisis, the country's state of
economic development cannot compare with four years ago and is certainly
not progressing as much... Despite considerable efforts made by the
regime since the financial crisis, voters were not completely satisfied
over the improvement of livelihood issues. The third issue is a
long-standing, major and difficult problem - the problem of
corruption..." (Interview with Jiang Yi, researcher, Institute of East
European, Russian and Central Asian Studies, Chinese Academy of Social
Sciences) (5)
2. "...Now Putin should learn from the experience of this election. With
the diversification of society and the continued development of the
economy, his coordination capacity must be strengthened. He has to learn
how to use a persuasive approach rather than that saying that he will
use administrative measures to suppress the voices of the opposition. I
think that Putin should engage in deep reflection on this after the
election." (Interview with Sun Zhe, director, Research Centre for
Sino-US Relations, Tsinghua University, Beijing) (5)
Headline: "Putin steps down from 'sacred altar', Russia's advance needs
new impetus"
Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao (Beijing-backed daily): www.takungpao.com
"...Today, as huge changes occur in the domestic and international
situation and ordinary people become increasingly rational, merely
relying on flying fighter jets, attacking tigers and other
muscle-flexing means can clearly no longer satisfy the requirements for
governing a country... The 'United Russia' may also have to seriously
consider how to build a regime of 'parasites' into a real political
party with a solid social foundation... Putin stepping down from the
'altar' is not necessarily a bad thing. By being a bit further from
'God' and a bit closer to the common people, his governance will be more
in line with the needs of society..." (Commentary) (6)
Asia-Pacific security
Headline: "Joint drills can help clarify military power"
Beijing's Global Times website in English: "...At present, China holds
fewer joint military exercises than other regional powers. Showing our
willingness to participate in a joint military exercise would be helpful
to dispel some of the fears and speculations about China's military
power. China's readiness to open up more should be useful to prevent the
frequent accusations from Western media that the nation's military
transparency is disproportional to its growing global influence..." (Sen
Col Li Daguang, associate professor, National Defence University) (5)
Climate change
Headline: "Flexibility for progress"
Beijing's China Daily in English: "It cannot be more obvious that China
does not want the Durban climate change meeting to be a failure. But
while China has shown it is willing to be flexible about binding
emission cuts after 2020, it is quite unlikely that the US will show a
similar willingness... The onus is on the US to make a major shift in
its negotiating stance... The US' insistence that major developing
countries must commit to the same emissions targets as developed
countries is depriving people of their right to development..."
(Commentary) (6)
Beijing's Renmin Ribao overseas edition: "...It will be difficult to
break the deadlock in international climate negotiations. With the US
facing elections and Europe entangled in debt, many governments face the
challenge of domestic political turmoil and economic crises and concern
over climate change issues has declined. Given the lack of political
will among developed countries and the usual serious differences in the
standpoints of parties on key issues, one expects that it will be
difficult for working-level talks to have substantive progress at the
Durban conference..." (Chen Ying, researcher, Institute for Urban
Development and Environment, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) (6)
China's international image
Headline: "Embattled West unprepared for rise of a practical China"
Beijing's Global Times website in English: "Despite its swift growth,
China's image has hardly improved in the West. More than a few Western
observers argue that China's model is barely sustainable due to
so-called authoritarianism, and that China is very reluctant to take on
more international responsibilities. I do not agree with such criticism.
China is viewed through an ideological lens. Its model has been grilled,
partly because the West, whose own capitalism is going through a severe
crisis, is instinctively reluctant to accept the success of an emerging
nation. In other words, an embattled West has been caught unprepared by
a defiant but practical China..." (Yang Rui, host, China Central
Television (CCTV) News) (5)

There are few industries in Queensland more affected by climate change than tourism and research conducted at USQ confirms that tourism operators are making it a high priority.
The research, led by Associate Professor Heather Zeppel and Dr Narelle Beaumont of USQ's Australian Centre for Sustainable Business Development, surveyed 83 Queensland environmentally certified tourism operators and found nearly 90 percent considered climate change and reducing carbon emissions to be an important issue.
Associate Professor Zeppel said few industries had been more impacted by climate in recent years with cyclones, floods and tourist discouraging rainy summers.
'Tourism operators have in recent years adopted a range of carbon mitigation measures designed to reduce their carbon emissions,' she said.
'The most popular have been energy efficient measures, such as low energy light bulbs and appliances and reducing standby power, as well as waste reduction.
'Other measures include staff training, visitor education, roofing insulation, room fans, fuel efficient transport and choosing green suppliers.
'About a quarter had installed solar power.'
Assoc Prof Zeppel said the main reason for implementing these measures was to attract environmentally aware tourists and differentiate their tourism business as 'climate friendly'.
'Personal environmental ethics is a stronger motive for smaller operators to reduce emissions while cost savings were more important for larger enterprises.'
Dr Beaumont said less than one-third of the tourism enterprises had participated in a carbon offsetting program.
'We did find however that nearly 40 percent of those surveyed indicated they planned to do so in the near future,' she said.
'One third of the operators did not consider it necessary for their business and some mentioned the negligible 'carbon footprint' of their business as their reason for not participating while others specified the cost of the offset schemes.'
Associate Professor Zeppel and Dr Beaumont have now been awarded a grant by the United States Studies Centre, University of Sydney, to undertake similar research of environmentally certified ecotourism operators in the United States of America.

Many religions in the known world refer to their "object of
worship" as God. The English word god is a tittle not a name. As Christians we refer
to Jehovah the God of the bible as God. The Muslims refer to Allah as god. The Hindu
also refers to their objects of worship as god. Satanism in all its different forms
refers to Lucifer as god. All these religions have found a home here in the
United States of America; all of them have the right to worship their "god" any
way they wish.
Have you ever thought about the fact that the term "in God
we trust "means something completely different to the Muslim, Hindu, and the Satanist,
than it means to the Christians? Have you ever asked yourself why it's ok to
pray to "god" in public as long as it's not in Jesus name? The reason is because
everyone calls their person or object of worship "god"!
We praise movie stars, television stars, and athletes, and
musical performers; because they thank "god" for their success. The question is
which "god" is really responsible for their Worldly fame? Most of the people in
the entertainment world are drunkards, drug addicts, adulterers, whoremongers,
and blasphemers of the one true God Jehovah. They live their lives , and make
their money by breaking the commandments of the one true God Jehovah. And you
think the "god" they are praising for their success is Jehovah? How dumb can we be!
Corinthians 4:4 refers to Satan as "the
god of this world".
Ephesians 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in
the children of disobedience:
hope you see that according to the bible those who walk after the course of
this world (drunkards, adulterers, blasphemers, liars, etc.) follow the "god"
of this world "Satan"; and not the God of the bible.
Don't be fooled into thinking that the United States of America
is a Monotheistic nation. We are as pagan and polytheistic as the Egyptians,
the Greeks, and the Romans. Just as many "gods" were served and worshiped in
the ancient civilizations, there are many "gods' being worshiped in our civilization.
Please dear reader can you be more specific about which "god
"you serve?? Make it a habit to call him by name!

We Are Looking for Students with Intellect,
Drive, Talents and Personality
An interview with Dr. Arnis Vilks
Dean, HHL (Germany)
About HHL
The HHL philosophy is the same today as when we were founded in 1898: to emphasize not only the technical facets of business study but also the development and evolution of individual character. Our "corporate philosophy" is to encourage initiative, engagement and reflective and responsible thinking and action. HHL provides a general management education that meets the highest academic standards to students with intellect, drive, talents, and personality to become business and managerial leaders.
Could you give our readers some information on your MBA Programs?
HHL offers a 15 month full-time MBA Program as well as a two-year part-time MBA Program. All teaching is in English and courses cover all important functional business areas (accounting, marketing, finance etc.) as well as application fields such as e-commerce, entrepreneurship and IT. A multicultural and cosmopolitan student body is one of our key strengths. Currently, we have 43 students from 17 countries enrolled into HHL's full-time MBA Program. Distinguished international faculty with a global focus adds to this international experience. Part of HHL's philosophy is to combine the strengths of American and German business education by linking training in decision-oriented management skills with a sound conceptual and theoretical understanding of business and economics.
What are the characteristics you are looking for in applicants?
Our English language MBAs are designed primarily for students and professionals who seek managerial positions but whose prior academic training was not focused on business but rather, for example, was in the natural sciences, humanities or social sciences, and international students and young professionals who seek managerial positions with firms either based in Germany or Europe or with significant operations in Europe.
What business areas do your students generally enter after graduation?
All HHL students benefit from our established and very successful career placement operation. All students who come to HHL do so because they expect that earning an MBA will improve their career opportunities. HHL's Placement Center hosts weekly presentations by a prominent company. Each firm sends a team of recruiters to speak with our students about employment and summer internship possibilities. HHL has a record of placing graduates with prominent international firms, including Arthur Andersen, BASF, Bayer AG, Bertelsmann, Booz Allen & Hamilton, Boston Consulting Group, DaimlerChrysler, Deutsche Bank, Ernst & Young, Ford, Henkel, Kirch-Gruppe, KPMG, McKinsey, Monitor Company, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Roland Berger, Siemens and Volkswagen.
What are your school's plans for the future?
HHL is continuously improving its reputation and is aiming to receive international accreditation in the second quarter of 2004. We will also continue to offer further international programs to talented students from all of the world and add new focuses to our curriculum like business and global ethics.
What advice would you give to potential candidates?
We urge you to apply as early as possible in order to be able to serve you best. We have noticed that questions of the candidates are best and in full detail answered if we have sufficient time to do so.

Growing up, oatmeal was a breakfast staple in our house during the cold winter months. I can remember getting up for school and running to the microwave to heat up a packet of brown sugar oatmeal. It was quick, easy and comforting before I had to drag my behind outside for a long, cold walk to the bus stop.
These days, I'm still warming up a hot bowl of oatmeal except now I have the time to put together a more flavorful breakfast dish. One my kids love is a simple but sweet Autumn Apple Oatmeal with a sprinkle of raisins.
It all starts with a big tub of Quaker® Old Fashioned Oats and some fresh Gala apples. This time of the year the apple varieties are plentiful so pick a variety you love, we just happened to enjoy the fresh batch of organic Gala apples that came into our local store.
To make this warm oatmeal dish all you need is a few basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. And since October 29th is National Oatmeal day, it's a good reminder to stock up on oats for the cold months ahead. Baking your favorite oatmeal dish is one way to celebrate but if you visit www.nationaloatmealday.com online you'll also find four other fun ways to celebrate (and win some prizes too).
And if you're really excited about oatmeal, be sure to join the National Oatmeal Day Twitter Party by tweeting with the #YayOats hashtag on Monday, October 29th at 1 pm EST.

- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- Stir in the baking powder.
- In a baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray, add the oats and apples.
- Pour the milk mixture over the oats and stir just until combined.
- Top with raisins and brown sugar.
- Baked 35 - 40 minutes.
In honor of National Oatmeal Day on October 29th, vote for my recipe and I have a chance to be featured in the Quaker® Oats newsletter.

Last week, Rashard Mendenhall killed his reputation while costing himself some cash by sending out some ill-informed and ill-timed tweets. This isn't the first time a professional athlete has gotten into hot water for careless social media diarrhea, which has some wondering if it's really a good idea for these guys to be on Twitter and Facebook in the first place.
From Mark Madden of the Beaver County Times:
When the NFL labor dispute ends, the Steelers should: Bar players from social networking. No Twitter, no Facebook, nothing of the sort. No tangible good can come from it. Only stupidity.
I love Twitter. I use it every day. It's a great tool for both disseminating and obtaining news. I would argue that it educates significantly more than it pollutes.
That said, I agree with Madden.
From an NFL team's perspective, players tweeting usually do more harm than good. It's rare we see a tweet from an NFL player get praised, because the majority of player tweets are ego-enhancing drivel. Avid fans might enjoy reading the minutiae of players' lives, but I couldn't care less.
That's why I follow zero players on Twitter, despite the fact I'm an NFL blogger. I find that 99 percent of what these guys say pertains to what they're eating for lunch or something funny their pets are doing. I don't care. The other one percent — the stupid/crazy/controversial stuff — will inevitably be retweeted by someone I follow.
I realize that Twitter can be a stellar marketing tool, and that's why I'd fully support its use by fringe players on fringe teams in fringe leagues (I'm looking at you, UFL). But does anybody actually believe that NFL teams are gaining fans because of tweets from their players?
Of course not. People follow Mendenhall because they're Steelers fans; they aren't Steelers fans because they follow Mendenhall.
For a team like the Steelers, Twitter does nothing but open the door to potentially embarrassing situations.
Madden's right. No tangible good can come from it.

Barrie Cadshaw reveals the movers and shakers in public engagement.
Penny Fletcher has left her role as National Science & Engineering Week Project Manager at the British Science Association to be Events and Public Engagement Manager at the Society of Biology. She is replaced by Christina Fuentes, former cognitive neuroscientist and STEMNET ambassador. The wonderful Sue Hordijenko is leaving her role as Director of Programmes at the Association. Her (very fashionable) boots will be filled in the interim by the Association's Director of Education Katherine Mathieson. Nancy Lane has stepped down from her position as chair of the People & Science Editorial Committee and Wendy Barnaby has decided to resign from the editorship of the magazine from the end of 2013. Wendy has racked up some twelve years' devoted service working on the mag and is quite simply irreplaceable.
Also leaving at the end of the year is Involve's Deputy Director Edward Andersson, He plans to return to his native Sweden. Jenna Stevens-Smith has joined Imperial College's Department of Bioengineering as their Outreach Manager.
Physicist and scicommer extraordinaire Laurie Winkless left the National Physical Laboratory at the end of July, to work on Nobel Media AB's international science programmes. Nobel Media AB is the media arm of the Nobel Foundation.
At the latest Cheltenham Science Festival, self-confessed daredevil science presenter Greg Foot was caught climbing on top of a roof without having given prior notification to the logistics team (tsk tsk) and without a risk assessment!
At the recent Science in Public conference at Nottingham University the prize for the most gorgeous delegate went to science engagement specialist Sophia Collins's one week old son, Squiggle. She tweeted 'Prepping Squiggle for his first conference appearance at #SIP13. He's finding it hard to choose between some of the parallel sessions…'
At the same conference, delegates saw that the best laid plans can come unstuck. UCL's Jack Stilgoe and SPRU's James Wilsdon took part in a discussion following Harry Collins's keynote address. As Harry crossed his arms and found it difficult to explain how separating 'technical' and 'political' phases of decision making would actually work (comparing himself to Marx in the process), James lost patience and called Collins's framework 'banal and irrelevant'. Following the event Jack tweeted 'I was supposed to be bad cop @jameswilson good cop. But he went all Jimmy McNulty.'
Pubic lice
The British Science Festival will announce the winner of your favourite ugly animal competition.
Currently a joint enterprise between the Association's National Science + Engineering Competition and Simon Watt, who set up the original Ugly Animal Preservation Society, it is being run to highlight the importance of conserving some of Mother Nature's more aesthetically-challenged children to young people during the school summer holidays.
'The panda gets too much attention. Our society needs a mascot, one to rival the cute and cuddly emblems of many charities and organisations,' declared Simon.
Each contending species is being supported by a comedian with a short campaigning clip, and voters are supporting their favourite by liking its associated Youtube clip.
Amongst our comedic campaigners are Helen Arney who will be agitating on behalf of the axolotol; Paul Foot battling for the blobfish; Rob Wells electioneering for the European common eel; Ellie Taylor politicking for the proboscis monkey; Suzi Ruffell mobilising the Myer's Surinam toad and Dan Shrieber remonstrating for the rough nosed horned lizard.
Do get in touch if you hear any tales at the water cooler that you'd like us to include in the next edition of People & Science.

A short piece from the Canadian Health Network on their effort to increase access to health information in the wake of Canada\'s connection of all of its schools and public libraries to the Web:
In 1999, Canada became the first country in the world to have all its public libraries and schools connected to the Internet . Public libraries have always been leaders at providing information to Canadians. To librarians the Internet is just another form of information and culture, along with books, videos, CDs, microfilm and magazines. So it\'s natural that they wanted to make the Internet available to Canadians. What does this have to do with CHN (the Canadian Health Network)? Plenty. The aim of CHN is to help everyone find reliable Canadian health information. The decision at CHN was to provide health information only via the Internet to begin with. This would be a problem if not all Canadians were connected! But by 1999, when the CHN was up and running, many people in Canada now had access to the Internet through their public library.

Not really a scoop as its ongoing but a nice article on the bbc site about the discussions around the .health TLD:

An article in the September 4, 2000 issue of the Scientist talks about attempts to get medical information and access to articles available throughout the third world by e-publishing. Sponsored by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, publishers and scientist and representatives of medical literature societies got together to hash out plans to make current medical information available to poorer nations.
Someone wrote in with this \"The National Library of Medicine has funded a Website that provides a distance learning opportunity for public librarians (and other information providers) who need to answer health-related questions. Is this an approach that makes sense? \"
I checked out the site, and it\'s pretty cool. They have several nice Pathfinders and other nifty health related stuff. A nice Reference Interview Resources provides information on, well, you can guess what.So....Does it make sense?

Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story
January 02 — February 01
Over fifty years ago, a young man from Lubbock, Texas, changed the face of popular music, only to die tragically in a plane crash aged just 22. Now, BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY tells the story of the three years in which he became the world's top recording artist with a show featuring timeless hits as "Peggy Sue", "That'll Be the Day", "Oh Boy", "Not Fade Away", "True Love Ways", "Everyday", "Rave On", "Heartbeat", and "Raining in My Heart".
BUDDY tells the story in words and music of the last few years of Buddy Holly's life. We see how he and his childhood high-school friends, the Crickets, turn country music upside down and create a unique style of sound. We share Buddy's frustrations at Decca Records, his skill as a songwriter and composer when recording and experimenting with Norman Petty, the excitement he and America felt when "That'll Be the Day" went to #1, and his naive determination to be the first white act to play the Apollo Theatre, Harlem. And that's just the first act.
Later we meet Maria Elena, his future wife, and witness his whirlwind romance and marriage, see how he and the Crickets part ways and are taken on his ill-fated 'Winter Dance Party' Tour of 1959. Finally, we are the audience at the Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa, where Buddy's final performance with Ritchie Valens ("La Bamba") and the 'Big Bopper' J.P. Richardson ("Chantilly Lace") is recreated, and what in theatre must be one of the most exciting musical concerts of all-time!
BUDDY has been seen by over 20 million people around the world, where the magical talents of Charles Hardin 'Buddy' Holley have been shared live with many more people than the real Buddy Holly ever had the chance to perform to. The young man with glasses whose musical career spanned an all-too-brief period has enjoyed, via our show, a longevity that was denied him in 1959.
If you remember the golden age of rock 'n' roll, when 'doo-wops' and 'ah hey, ah heys' rang out from every jukebox, weren't born yet, or were too young to be a part of this exciting period of musical history, then you won't want to miss out on the electrifying party that is BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY!

CERN Wants a New Particle Collider Three Times Larger Than the LHC
Naming conventions (238 comments)
They'd better get the name of it right: I presume, previous to the LHC, there have been a Small and a Medium so Xtra Large might be good - plus there's plenty of room for further, bigger colliders.
But if they leap straight in with "Mega" or "Super Ginormous" - well, they're gonna run out of names for future colliders pretty damn quick.
"Quite Big" is nicely understated; but in this age of superlative madness, where everything is "Giga", and "Ultra" - even though it's the first iteration of a product - and people who manage to walk across a room without blinding themselves with a spoon are labelled "Heroes"...
Well, they'll probably call it the "Omega Class, Hyper-lightspeed, Super-massive, Multi-yottabyte Particle Annihilator"
And then, when they want a bigger one, they'll be fucked - like Beta should be.

Reviewed Super Nachos
May 2, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Very, very good! I'm slow in the kitchen, so it took me longer than the 30 minutes to prepare. Everyone loved it. The leftovers were as good, if not better than the first time. I didn't put everything on the nachos so they wouldn't get soggy. When we ran out of chips, we used soft taco shells...still very good.""

From NBC News, this is Today.
Bring it on, bring it on and putting away, putting away--
This morning on Today's Home; How to clean like a man. But I like it too. Be it in a mustang or a microwave. Woman's Day magazine rounded up a bunch of men to show you their best cleaning tips and techniques left holding the sponges, editor in chief Elizabeth Mayhew. Elizabeth, good to see you.
Good to see you.
So-- when you clean, we just clean different stuff than you guys maybe.
Well, the idea of this is that men do clean things take how they clean the car for example.
Everything they do is the exact tactic that you want to apply--
We have tactic.
To your cleaning. Well, you're very focused--
You know what you're working on.
You clean top to bottom, so you're letting gravity do the work for you. You're paying attention to all of the right details.
So all I wanted to go was go and find out what these tactics were and how do I apply those into my cleaning at home.
So, you say first of all gather the troops.
Gather the troops. You wanna locate all of your cleaning supplies together in one place.
A caddie is great 'cause you can carry it from room to room.
Essentially located, you got what you need to get the job done and then it still keep you focus.
And you say a plan of attack.
Plan of attack. Men are very good at prioritizing.
And kind of saying, I'm gonna go from A to B.
We like lists.
Well, you like, but you also stay focused on a task.
Women tend to go here and there, they start one thing. So nothing ever gets finished as well as it should
If you have a list, do it in order, follow step by step. You will be much more successful and you'll waste a lot less time.
And then once you're done, you party.
Men are better at rewarding themselves.
So this is something that women need to learn. So-- to have a glass of wine when you're finish.
To settle down to watch a movie. Give yourself some Me time. Play music that you like to get you through and get you through the whole task. It's a really good thing to do at the end.
All right. One of the things that women-- a big great surprise, car wax.
Okay, so what we do to this as we looked at traditional guy stuff, you know.
There's no question that a lot of the cleanest surprise-- Ronnie, Mr. Clean, they all have this manly man.
Manly man. Yes.
So car wax is actually great. If you just take a little of it--
And just do this once a year and you just spread it over your tiles in your bathroom, rub it out. It's going to prevent mildew and soaps got them from sticking. So it's like putting a wax coating just as you would on your car onto your tile.
Very nice.
Very cool.
A leaf blower.
Leaf blowers. Okay, must of your appliances, everything needs to also be cleaned.
Not just do the cleaning. So for your vacuum, a great thing to do is to take the hose which gets a lot of buildup dust and dirt.
You attach it to your leaf blower outside. Turn the leaf blower, it blows all the garbage out.
The other thing it's great for cleaning your porch, you know, your front porch anywhere around your house because it's not-- oh my god. Enough, enough. I knew there was gonna be some [unknown] to this.
I noticed it was plugged in. Had to use it.
So you see how that's gonna get the dirt out.
It will get in to corners that it's harder for a broom to get into.
Synthetic steel wall.
Synthetic steel wall traditionally used by painters to scrub down and clean and get off paint before they do a paint job.
Get it at the hardware store even at the grocery store. It's great for getting all the gunk out of pots and the garbage and greases are gonna stick to it like it would in normal sponge.
So yeah, it's just great for anything where it's build on caked up.
And then, maybe you should toss the sponge 'cause the sponge just collect all that gunk.
Well, in every sponge you and I have had this conversation before. You need to buy them in bulk and get rid of them after a few weeks.
All right. Now, I love this one, the tennis ball.
Tennis ball is good for two things actually. One is you take all purpose cleaner, just spray a little bit on. There's something about the texture. I don't have all purpose cleaner but you just rub it over any kind of scuff mark--
It's like one of those erasures.
Exactly. And it's gonna get it up. There you go.
Look at that.
See? The other thing you can do is when you're washing down. You're just-- well in the [unknown]. You see, this is-- I don't know if you're gonna be the best male cleaner around here, Greg. But the other thing you do is when you're washing down like you're down comforter, pillows, anything you throw in in the dryer and it's gonna fluff up all the down for you.
Who knew? So--
Who knew? Elizabeth, thank you. Thank you so much. Hold on a second.
You can blow me?
All right. Thank you. Coming up, some lucky [unknown] showed up this morning getting a day they'll never forget.

Just got it unloaded from fed -ex truck . Since i live in Winterland ( New brunswick Canada ) i will be awhile before i can enjoy but i figure i can start plants early march inside the house and bring them in the greenhouse in april . Did anyone else here buy a snap and grow and if so could you post your comments. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, did you get your greenhouse set up? I am in the process of setting up mine but it is from Harbor Freight. It has been a challenge, not done yet. Thankfully I turned down most of the offered help, figuring out the instructions was hard enough by myself. But most of the frame is up and hopefully the foundation will go in today. |
I just got one but haven't set it up yet. I haven't grown in this type of GH before, I have lots of tomato and herb/ native flower seedlings that are outgrowing my indoor shelves, when can I safely put them in such a GH? The 30 year lows where I live are above 30*F by April 1, and I could put some water inside in storage crates, and put it on black plastic, even put an oil-filled heater inside for night. I'm having trouble siting mine because the convenient place on a patio probably gets too much shade from trees during the day, even though it is on the south side of the house. If it were on a deck, would the air underneath make it cool off too much at night? |
- Posted by richardg40 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 25, 10 at 10:00
Thanks for the reply's . My greenhouse is not set up yet as winter as decided to hang in there longer. I was also planning to install my greenhouse on the patio facing south and in the corner of the house . It would be protected from high winds and in the spring / summer gets sun ti'll about 3pm so a total of about 8 hours . Hope this is enought sun , |

'Wuthering Heights' Trailer: A Love As Beautiful and Unforgiving As the English Moors
Movie News By Kate Erbland on September 7, 2012 | Comments (1)While it may seem as if we didn't necessarily need another big screen take on Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" (after all, the novel has been adapted for film, television, radio, and more over thirty times already), that doesn't mean that we didn't want to see Andrea Arnold's take on the material. The provocative and deeply talented Fish Tank director is uniquely suited to infusing such a classic tale of love, desire, and betrayal with new blood, even as she sticks to old school styling to craft her vision. When we saw the film at Sundance, I called Arnold's Wuthering Heights "a stunning mediation on love, loss, memory, and pain" and "a work of great visual art," even as I found it difficult to enter into in an emotional manner. And yet. The term "haunting" gets tossed around a lot when describing all sorts of films, but Arnold's film is truly best described in such a way – it haunts, it linger, it doesn't let you go. Even months after first seeing it, her traditional take on the doomed love of the wretched Cathy and Heathcliff sticks with me. Get a taste of that (and all sorts of stirring shots of moors, flapping fabric, and howling characters) with a new trailer for the film after the break.
Sundance 2012 Review: Stunningly Beautiful 'Wuthering Heights' Can't Escape Unlikability of Its Central Romance
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on January 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhile a new adaptation of Emily Bronte's class English novel might seem to be wholly unnecessary (the book has been adapted in various ways at least thirty times), writer and director Andrea Arnold's gorgeous take on Wuthering Heights more than does justice to the look and feel of Bronte's work, lending a weight and power to the story that should captivate more than just fans of the novel. Centered on the tragic story of Cathy Earnshaw and the orphan Heathcliff, the film is a stunning mediation on love, loss, memory, and pain. An orphan abandoned on the street, Heathcliff is brought as a child to the wild English moor estate known as Wuthering Heights by Cathy's father, Mr. Earnshaw, a hardcore Christian who is convinced that it's the right thing to do. But Earnshaw's beliefs are not rooted in a sense of charity, but as an attempt to secure salvation, which is why the Earnshaws at large treat Heathcliff so poorly. Over time, the nearly-feral Cathy and Heathcliff develop a passion for each other that is all-consuming, though it only serves to make their already physically demanding lives that much harder emotionally.
Teaser Trailer for 'Wuthering Heights' Breaks Your Heart, Kills You
Movie News By Kate Erbland on September 19, 2011 | Comments (1)Poor takes on classic material are getting so commonplace that when a new adaptation looks like it may actually hit the right notes and invoke the right tone in service to its source material – well, it's something special. The name Andrea Arnold is well-known to most cinephiles, thanks to her gorgeous films Fish Tank (which features a Michael Fassbender performance that should hint at what we can expect from his next film, Shame) and Red Road. With her emphasis on captivating visuals and deeply emotional stories, a period piece seemed like a natural fit for the director. Her take on Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and today we get our first real look at Arnold's vision. This new Wuthering Heights features some distinct differences from more traditional versions of the material – namely a black actor playing Heathcliff (James Howson) and a Cathy who appears to be much more sympathetic than those we've seen before. Check out the mostly-wordless teaser trailer for Wuthering Heights after the break.

Boonshoft School of Medicine students to hold
canned food drive April 11
Students will collect items on campus; visit area neighborhoods to support The Foodbank
DAYTON, Ohio—At a time of year when food pantries are depleted of vital donations, Wright State University medical students are supporting the local community by organizing a food drive for The Foodbank, Inc. The event is inspired and sponsored by the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society with support from the Boonshoft School of Medicine Phi Ro Sigma student chapter, Wright Copy and Two Men and a Truck, Inc.
Student volunteers will visit neighborhoods near the Wright State campus beginning Monday, April 11, to hand out flyers and inform residents about the event. They will return on April 16, from noon to 6 p.m., to collect donations of non-perishable food items. Donations will also be accepted at a central collection point in front of White Hall, located just off Center Road on the WSU campus during these same hours, and collection bins will be located throughout the surrounding community in the weeks leading up to the event.
The Foodbank depends on donations from individuals and businesses in order to support more than 100 charitable food relief organizations throughout Montgomery, Greene and Preble counties. Each day The Foodbank provides an average of more than 6,700 healthy, nutritious meals for local children, families and adults in need. When donations decline during seasonal lulls, such as early spring, supplies run low and limit the organization~s capacity to provide this critical service.
John Corker, a second-year medical student at Wright State and spokesperson for the food drive, said the need is especially great for items such as peanut butter, pasta and sauces, canned fruit and vegetables, soups, rice, cereal and staples such as flour, sugar and cooking oil. However, any non-perishable food items will be accepted.
