Viaduct replacement: Down to just 2 options?
Transportation planners whittled their catalog of Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement options down to two on Thursday, but Gov. Christine Gregoire said she's not ruling anything out at this point.

the shore. Major bus-service increase planned.
CONS: Boosts traffic near Pike Place Market on Western. Drivers would be slowed by as many as 28 stoplights from Valley to Atlantic streets and a 30 mph speed limit.
CONS: Large, noisy structure. Less open space.
Transportation planners whittled their list of Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement options down to two on Thursday, but Gov. Christine Gregoire said she's not ruling anything out at this point.
"For me everything is still on the table," Gregoire said, noting that she's been busy trying to write a state budget and is now focused on making a final decision about the viaduct by Dec. 31.
Transportation planners from the state, King County and the city of Seattle presented the governor and other elected officials with two options:
• A "surface and transit" plan that features three southbound lanes on Alaskan Way and three northbound lanes on Western Avenue.
• An elevated bypass highway that has two lanes in each direction, running side by side on independent bridge structures — the cheapest of the highway scenarios, the state says. It would include a Western Avenue exit to Belltown, Seattle Center and Interbay.
Gone from the list is any near-term proposal for a tunnel to move traffic along the waterfront. That option is just too expensive, the state says.
And there's another proposal that transportation experts have apparently ruled out, but politicians cannot — House Speaker Frank Chopp's plan to build a four-lane elevated viaduct covered by a park, with buildings underneath. The city hates it, but Chopp is a force that can't be ignored.
Gregoire said Chopp's proposal is not off the table. House Transportation Chairwoman Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, agreed, saying she believes Chopp still considers it viable. "We'll probably be dealing with Frank's ideas," she said.
Chopp could not be reached for comment Thursday.
The surface-transit option is estimated to cost $3.3 billion, and the elevated version $3.5 billion. That's higher than earlier estimates because improvements to Interstate 5, local streets and transit have been added.
The figures include about $1.1 billion already budgeted for a Sodo interchange, Battery Street Tunnel safety improvements and other work to be finished by 2012, before construction at the central waterfront.
State lawmakers have earmarked $2.8 billion for the viaduct-replacement project, funded by state gasoline taxes and federal bridge grants.
Under the new options, another $500 million to $800 million still would be needed, depending on which alternative is picked.
The announcement Thursday did not say where that money would come from, but Gregoire reiterated that no one should expect more money from the state.
Transit improvements
The proposed surface plan would add bus routes to Delridge and Lake City, along with more electric-powered buses, streetcars, park-and-ride projects and trip-reduction programs. The elevated version includes many of the same transit improvements, but not as many buses and I-5 work.
But state Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond said the state money can't be used for increases in Metro bus service that are part of the surface-transit package, because the state constitution requires gas taxes to go toward highways.
"There's been no decision on, if transit service is part of the package, how that gets paid for," she said.
The proposals also don't appear eligible for federal stimulus funding being considered by President-elect Obama, Hammond said, partly because construction can't start within six months.
Interstate 5 work would include squeezing an additional lane of traffic each way through downtown, as well as rearranging downtown ramps to improve traffic flow, Hammond said.
The state Department of Transportation (DOT) dropped the idea of a bored tunnel for now, but said it could be built later as a "stand alone" project along with the surface-transit option. A bored tunnel is drilled beneath the surface.
A public forum on the proposals is planned for 5 p.m. Monday at Town Hall in Seattle.
Quake showed weakness
Leaders and the public have been arguing about a viaduct replacement since at least 2001, when the Nisqually earthquake caused slight sinking, highlighting the vulnerability of what is now a 55-year-old highway.
Representatives from the state, city and county have worked for more than a year to come up with a replacement after Seattle voters in 2007 killed two competing viaduct-replacement plans, a cut-and-cover tunnel and another aerial structure. A cut-and-cover tunnel involves digging a giant trench and then covering it.
Studies show the surface-street alternatives would be the slowest way to get through downtown Seattle. Thursday's version shows 28 traffic signals and a 30 mph speed limit. An elevated structure would be the fastest with a 50 mph speed limit. That option also includes a surface street along the waterfront with two lanes in each direction.
The surface plan creates a strip of open space 104 feet wide at the central waterfront. Neither version includes a waterfront streetcar; the city endorses a streetcar on First Avenue instead.
Traffic near the Pike Place Market would increase under the surface version. To help offset that problem, the state suggests a one-block northbound underpass for Western Avenue at Virginia Street, next to Victor Steinbrueck Park.
Chamber prefers tunnel
Environmentalists have been pushing the surface-street plan and the city, realizing its hope for a tunnel would be too expensive, agrees.
Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels wouldn't say Thursday which option he supported. But on Wednesday he said his favorite idea would be a merger of various surface options.
Many industry officials want another elevated highway so trucks can travel quickly from Ballard and Interbay to Sodo and other southern locations.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Seattle Association and the King County Labor Council support a tunnel that would move traffic and open up the waterfront.
Tayloe Washburn, board chairman at the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, said he didn't think either option announced Thursday would satisfy the Legislature or interest groups with a stake in the project.
"We're only in the third inning of a nine inning game," he said. "The conversation will continue."
Dave Freiboth, head of the King County Labor Council, said that if either of the two alternatives moves forward "there will be a political dysfunctional meltdown. We'll be right back at each other's throats."

We have long predicted that the greatest growth on Ecuador's coast would come north of the Chone Estuary after the bridge at Bahia was completed. This is beginning to happen now of course since the bridge was completed last year.
Here is a paid advertisement from the International Engineering and Development Company YUMA International Compania Limitada Aprobado for community building in Coastal Ecuador.
Mike Grabowski at Ladera Pacifica
We would like to introduce a new uniquely designed gated community real estate development project in coastal Ecuador, Ladera Pacifica translated from Spanish means peaceful Pacific hillside
Ladera Pacifica is located in the protected dry tropical forest Hacienda el Recreo. 700 hectares bountiful with flora and fauna unique to this zone. There is much more to enjoy in coastal Ecuador besides ocean beaches washing up to your patio door. Ecuador itself has miles of pristine beaches to explore as well as endless activities to enjoy…exploring the Galapagos and Isla de la Plata, whale watching suffing, climbing, paragliding, natural trail walking, horse riding, beach combing and enjoying your own private sunset from your new roof top terrace.
Ladera Pacifica features pristine nature at your doorstep.
Situated in coastal Ecuador, just a short distance from Bahia de Caraquez, overlooking the fishing and surf town of Canoa, just a few hundred meters up from the beach, safely located at an average elevation of 70 meters above the sea level, in the environmentally protected reserve – Hacienda el Recreo is an exciting new gated community Ladera Pacifica, of 36 luxury homes, designed to rigorous standards, with quality and sustainability unprecedented in Ecuador.

Hemingway's Secret to Better Writing Saves You Up to $899
Our Writer's Camps specialize in how to write to sell through self publishing. This course goes way beyond logic and looks at how to think, write, earn with greater wisdom.We help you learn ways to go the extra mile.
Was Ernest Hemingway's secret to better writing in English or Spanish?
Hemingway with Friends at La Florida ("Floridita"), Havana, Cuba.
To get a Nobel Prize in literature… you have to be willing to go the extra mile (1). In Hemingway's case perhaps he went further… 104.91 miles to be exact from Key West to Havana. There may have been many reasons why Hemingway liked Cuba but he already had access to them in Key West. Why go the extra 104.91 miles to Cuba?
See Ernest Hemingway speaking Spanish below.
Perhaps Ernest Hemingway knew that speaking a second language makes you smarter. Perhaps he realized that he could think and write better in English when one learns Spanish. In 1939 he moved to Cuba and wrote "For Whom the Bell Tolls" which became a Book-of-the-Month Club choice. The book sold half a million copies almost instantly, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and cemented Hemingway's reputation as one of the great writers in the English language… at a time when he was speaking two languages.
You too can be be smarter, write better and incidentally… and save up to $899 in the process.
You might ask… "What the heck does Spanish have to do with writing and self publishing?"
Well… to start, being smarter means you write better and the fact is, you do gain greater intellect with Super Thinking. Super Thinking tactics integrate brain waves so absorption, retention and recollection of information improve… a lot. Most important of all, Super Thinking helps you synthesize what you learn so you can connect dots and use the knowledge you gain to achieve your goals.
In short, Super Thinking makes you smarter.. a lot!
Super Thinking is not a gimmick nor a trick.At least three best selling books, Superlearning, the Mozart Effect and Superlearning 2000 have revealed insights about how we can learn and think more powerfully based on systems drawn from the Bulgarian master, Dr. Georgi Lozanov. Merri was among those few who learned how and is licensed to teach the Lozanov system. She has organized a practical course on how to learn faster and better. With her modified system, you discover how to think more powerfully in just three days…and experience the wonders of superlearning.
When I figured this out, my first thought was… "Why not help readers learn writing AND Spanish?" There and then was a two for one deal.
Enroll for our Writer's Camp and you gain a full scholarship to one of our Super Thinking + Spanish course or vice versa. You save $699 (single) to $899 (couple).
Still you ask… "Why Spanish for writing and self publishing?"
Spanish is the second most spoken romantic language. Chances are a huge Spanish speaking population lives near you. Speaking Spanish can be helpful in innumerable ways just from this fact.
There is more. Learning a second language makes you smarter and healthier.
Image from Telegraph article "Why learn a foreign language? Benefits of bilingualism". (2)
The Telegraph article (linked below) entitled "Why learn a foreign language? Benefits of bilingualism says (bolds are mine): Learning a foreign language is more than just a boost to your CV or handy for travelling. It will make you smarter, more decisive and even better at English, says Anne Merritt.
Physiological studies have found that speaking two or more languages is a great asset to the cognitive process. The brains of bilingual people operate differently than single language speakers, and these differences offer several mental benefits.
You can read the entire article at the link below but to sum it up it shows seven ways that learning a second language improves your intellect and health:
* You build multitasking skills
* You stave off Alzheimer's and dementia
* Your memory improves
* You become more perceptive
* You become smarter
* Your decision-making skills improve
* You improve your English
A better command of English… used by a smarter, more perceptive person who can remember details and multi task, creates a better writer.
With this. I rest Hemingway's case.
Learn the power of Super Thinking. Gain the seven benefits of being bilingual. Attend our Super Thinking + Spanish course and Writer's Camp. Save up to $899.

St. Joseph Fish Brokerage, the flagship business and leading earner of the St. Joseph Group of Companies, was looking for a system that will easily consolidate all data gathered from different departments into a single solution, standardize all report formats and improve employee productivity across the organization. The integrated system will allow employees to efficiently access relevant and timely information, streamline procedures and reduce man-hours in processing transactions. With the help of Microsoft Philippines and Thakral One, Inc. (Raffles Solutions and Services, Inc.), St. Joseph Fish Brokerage chose and deployed Microsoft Dynamics NAV, a cost-effective complete ERP software solution tailored to the address the company's unique business requirements to ensure that the subsidiary maintains its leading position in the industry.
The business was founded by couple Warlito and Carmelita Manlapaz in 1975. Building on the successes of its fish stalls, the couple decided to expand their business and eventually ventured into fish brokerage. In 1981, St. Joseph Group, Inc. was established and was listed among the top 2,000 corporations in 2002.
Today, St. Joseph Group, Inc. is a conglomerate of businesses ranging from fish brokerage, financing, pawnshops and money changers, aqua culture, piggery farm and even information technology.
Among its subsidiaries, the St. Joseph Fish Brokerage is the corporation's flagship business and is considered the leader in its industry. To continue its successes, the subsidiary continues to find ways to improve rapport with its producers and buyers, expand its network, and enhance its operations to fuel employee productivity and drive the business forward.
Prior to the project, the company dealt with separate systems to access information related to sales and accounts receivables. Employees were tasked to encode in different platforms – one is not completely implemented while the other is nearing obsoleteness – and often encountered system shut down due to a high volume of transactions.
St. Joseph Fish Brokerage was very keen on addressing these issues and pursued its mission to upgrade its IT infrastructure and create a solution that will cater to the company's growing needs.
"Our company is very committed to provide our suppliers, buyers and end-customers with nothing but the best products and services," said Allan B. Valera, CFO, St. Joseph Group, Inc. "It is important that we have an efficient and stable infrastructure in place to help us achieve our business objectives. With the help of Microsoft and Raffles Solutions and Services, Inc., we realized that there is an alternative and better solution that will address our requirements," Valera added.
St. Joseph Fish Brokerage searched for partners that have experiences in implementation and is capable of providing full support, efficiently showcase the capabilities of the proposed system, as well as provide a proof of concept and concrete benefits to the company and its employees.
The company engaged Raffles Solutions and Services, Inc., a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner specializing in world class business intelligence solutions, to develop a strategy in implementing an IT infrastructure fit for the company.
"We wanted to address inefficiency in the multiple encoding processes due to the use of two systems, upgrade old infrastructure, avoid system failure and downtime, and create a standard format for financial reports of all the subsidiaries," explained Valera. "Resolving the listed concerns would somehow provide us with the assurance and confidence that the information that we gather and report are accurate and relevant for employees and customers," he added.
"With careful consideration of the company's business requirements, we helped them simplify their business with a single solution that employees can work with to encode transactions, easily access and retrieve information and produce uniformed reports," said) Ruel Enconado AGM for Enterprise Solutions, Thakral One (formerly Raffles Solutions). "With Microsoft Dynamics NAV in place, the company has efficiently streamlined its operations, allowing them to understand the business better and make valid decisions aimed for progress."
By implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV, employees are now capable of dealing with transactions more easily, also allowing different departments to view documents and collaborate with one another at the same time, and without additional encoding needed.
"We chose Microsoft and Thakral One, Inc (formerly Raffles Solutions) as our partners because they showed us that they can help make St. Joseph Group, Inc. a world-class provider of various products and services," said Valera.
"The company has made the right decision in choosing to implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV because it addressed and satisfied our current business requirements," Valera added.
The implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV empowered St. Joseph Fish Brokerage to simplify its business processes using a single solution. With this infrastructure in place, the company was able to integrate and centrally store all its financial reports and employees are now equipped with the ability to collaborate on and retrieve necessary information almost instantaneously. They no longer spend too much time encoding in separate systems and can work efficiently without worrying about the system shutting down due to the high volume of transactions being made and processed.
In addition to this, employees are now capable of creating and submitting a standardized form of report that is carried out across all subsidiaries, which allow for a more rapid, effective decision-making.
"In the industry, it is critical that our business has access to accurate information to ensure that we keep up with challenging environments posed by several factors including other key players," Valera said. "With Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we gain real-time access to all our information and are able to pull out and deliver necessary information needed by employees and end-customers," explained Valera.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV became an avenue for the company to keep its employees updated with the latest business developments, make informed and confident decisions and streamline processes that help drive the organization's success.
Increased Worker Productivity

.- In his message for Labor Day (celebrated in many parts of the world on May 1, the feast of St. Joseph the Worker), Cardinal Pedro Rubiano, Archbishop of Bogota, called on authorities and business leaders to renew their "commitment and obligation to respect the dignity of their employees" because "the dignity of each employee is inalienable."
The Cardinal explained that "the international celebration of labor day and the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1st, provides us an opportunity to greet with special affection all workers in Colombia."
"The Church recognizes and values the importance and dignity of human work as a source of progress and social wellbeing, as it constitutes a fundamental dimension of the existence of man on the earth," said the Cardinal, adding that "this was the reason why Pope Pius XII in 1952 wanted to offer Christian workers a model and protector in the person of the glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, in his role as worker."
"God has ordained and blessed work," he continued, and He has "given man intelligence and a way to continue His work." Nevertheless, "throughout history, these concepts have been clouded and workers have been denied their fundamental rights, such as the right to employment and to a just wage."
Cardinal Rubiano said that "therefore, as shepherds, we implore that the feast of May 1st be a time of reflection for business leaders: they have the commitment and the obligation to recognize the dignity of their workers, making them participants of the benefits that the funds and the company provide."
"As Christians, we contemplate blessed St. Joseph the Worker, model and example for workers, and united as Colombians we congratulate all workers, with whom we maintain the hope that social justice will become a reality, so that food will always be on the table and love and peace in our hearts and families," he added.
On the other hand, the Cardinal expressed his "concern for children involved in the work of adults; for women whose labor rights are trampled upon; those who have been displaced or are unemployed and who aspire to live in equality and justice."
Therefore, he added, "We invite all Colombians to celebrate May 1, the feast of St. Joseph the Worker and international labor day, by raising a white flag over homes, places of worship and all buildings, or by carrying a white handkerchief in labor day marches, as a clear sign of peaceful resistance to violence, kidnapping and injustice and as a symbol of our commitment to the promotion of peace."
"On this day we pray as well that the Lord might look upon us with kindness and bless us with gift of Peace," the Cardinal concluded.

Hello Bill,
That's because that location is a junction point and not a real folder. These junction points are used for backwards compatibility for older programs that still reference the old location in XP and prior instead of the new location in Vista and Windows 7. Your My Documents folder, without the shortcut arrow on it, is actually located at this location instead: C:\Users\(user-name)\My Documents Hope this helps, Shawn |

Hi Bill,
Documents and Settings is not a real folder in both Vista and Windows 7. It is a junction that is there to provide an interface for legacy programs to the new folder structure. Windows 7 uses C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents and C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData instead. Edit: Just a little late. |

If you made any changes to the permissions on documents and settings trying to "fix" the "problem"....you need to immediately use System Restore to undo those changes. It will cause you more grief down the road.

Shawn and all:
Thank you very much. This solves my problem. I have not changed any permissions, so I don't have to worry about any of the associiated problems. I am setting up VirtualBox 4.0.0. I am not happy with what I have, so I am about to uninstall it and start over. According to the VirtualBox Manual, the files for the virtual machines are supposed to be stored in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\. I was trying to check to see if they really were there before they are removed. I checked and they are right where you said they were, in C:\Users\Bill Bos\My Documents. Now I can check after the removal to see that they are really gone. There is no indication at the Documents and Settings Icon as to what it actually is. It would be niece if the Properties drop down window indicated that this is a redirection folder and that the target is C:\Users\<user name>\My documents. This would be similar to what is done for desktop icons. If anyone sees Mr. Microsort they should tell him about this so he can correct it. In the mean time, anyone who has this problem will just have to ask you guys. Thank you so much, Bill Bos |

C:\Documents and Settings inaccessible
May be an old problem but I just got it :-(
Windows 7 64bit. I could not dig into my C:\Documents and Settings folder (was looking for Skype snapshot directory). I stupidly thought I could change the access so I did properties > permissions and tried to give myself access. I got an error message and thought nothing had happened. But I noticed that the folder now has a little shortcut icon by it. (And other too now as well I think). And I have no restore points. Bearing in mind the warnings above, does anyone have any advice about how I can undo what I stupidly did please? many thanks, Dave |

The International Monetary Fund said it will seek to better account for the effect of member nations' domestic policies on the rest of the world when monitoring their economies.
"In the current challenging and highly interconnected global economic environment, it is critical to have effective surveillance to enable the early detection of risks and provide timely policy advice," IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in an e-mailed statement today after the IMF board decision.
The Washington-based IMF has been criticized for missing signs of fragility that led to the 2008 global financial crisis. A report last year showed it also faced "dissatisfaction" about how it assesses exchange rates, prompting a pledge to include data such as capital flows when reviewing member nations' external stability.
Under today's decision, the fund will focus on both exchange rates and domestic policies when assessing a country's economy, Lagarde said. It will be able to look at the potential spillover of countries' policies when they affect global stability, she said.
The IMF will also start a pilot report to make external monitoring more effective, Lagarde said. With it, surveillance will " encompass more systematically, in addition to exchange rates, developments in current accounts, capital accounts, reserve accumulation, capital flow measures, and foreign assets and liabilities," she said.

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.
INSIGHT - ISR/PAL - Goldstone report/Shalit video

ATTRIBUTION: STRATFOR source
SOURCE DESCRIPTION: Fatah military source and Lebanese ambassador to UN
SUGGESTED DISTRIBUTION: secure
SOURCE HANDLER: Reva
** My note -- his info on Shalit matches up other insight I've sent. A lot
of conspiracy theories are going around on why PNA backed off the UN vote.
Interesting to note the two sources on this though. Both have been quite
reliable in the past
Marhaba Reva,
I talked to (XXXX and YYYYY). Both gave me an identical acount. The
behavior of the PNA is not as strange as it may appear. In fact, the media
has already uncovered the issue. Mahmud Abbas' initial idea was to get
israeli officials to be indicted over the Goldstone report. Abbas changed
his mind after Israeli colonel Elie Avraham showed the Palestinian
delegation in New York a taped video that brought together Mahmud Abbas,
Ehud barak and Tzipi Livni. The video incriminates Abbas who prodded Barak
to go ahead with the military campaign against Hamas in Gaza. He also
shared with them the contents of a recoded telephone conversation between
the secretary of the office of the IDF chief of staff and the secretary
general of the office of Mahmud Abbas, in which the latter tried to
convine the former to win the approval of Barak for storming Jabalia and
Shati' refuge camps in Gaza. It was these two incriminating documents that
coerced Abbas to change his mind and as the Arab/islamic bloc at the UN to
request a deferral on the consideration of the Goldstone report by the UN
general assembly. The decision of Abbas was not even made at the request
of US president Barack Obama.
I talked to Hamas representative in Lebanon and he said there was no
hidden agenda behind Israel's decision to release 20 palestinian women in
exchange for the Shalit video. He says the Israelis were not sure if he
was still alive and did not take seriously president Husni Mubarak's
statement that he was well. The Israelis, who are involved in back door
channel diplomacy regarding a deal with Hamas over Shalit, do not want to
face a situation where they end up swapping hundreds of Palestinian
prisoners with the remains of Shalit. What happened when the Israelis
released Samir Qantar, and others, with the remains of two Israeli
soldiers is still vivid in the minds of Israeli negotiators. They wanted
to make sure Shalit is alive before they proceed further with the
prisoners' release negotiations.

Allium schoenoprasum
These delicate leaves have a mild onion flavor perfect for salads, vegetables, egg dishes and soups. The clover-like purple flowers appear in the spring - they are edible and make a colorful and flavorful addition to salads. Chives are great edging plants in the herb, vegetable or flower garden and grow well in containers. Clumping growth to 2-feet tall. A winter hardy perennial for zones 3 and above. Packet is ½ gram, about 375 seeds.
GIGANTICChives Seeds
Allium schoenoprasum var. sibiricum
Fast-growing to 2 feet tall, 'Gigantic' Chives flat leaves are gray-green with mild onion flavor, just a hint of garlic. Globes of bright white, star-shaped edible flowers in late summer. Delicious in salads, vegetables, egg dishes and soups. Use to edge the herb, vegetable or flower garden, or grow in containers. Winter hardy to zone 3.
STARO Chives Seeds
Allium schoenoprasum 'Staro'
(OP) 75-85 days
Organically Grown'Staro' has deep green, thicker-than-usual leaves. Yields are higher, harvest is easier compared to conventional chives. Excellent for freezing, drying, or eating fresh. Snip leaves with sharp scissors to harvest. Mild onion flavor perfect for salads, vegetables, egg dishes, and soups. Clover-like purple flowers appear in the spring. Blooms are edible, make a flavorful addition to salads, or use as colorful garnish. 'Staro' Chives are outstanding edging plants for the herb, vegetable or flower garden. Plants are equally handsome when grown in containers. Growth is clumping to 2 feet tall. Winter hardy to zone 3.
Chives grow nicely with Yarrow.
How to Plant CHIVES Seeds.
Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil and lightly cover. Darkness will aid germination. Kept at 70° F., germination averages 7-14 days. Transplant 6-8 inches apart, in rows 18 inches apart. Can direct sow as soon as soil warms, ¼ inch deep, 1-2 seeds per inch. Thin to 2-3 plants every 6-8 inches.
Comments: Full or part sun. Best appearance and production with rich soil and regular water. Harvest by cutting leaves back to 2 inches tall. Fresh cut leaves last about 7 days in the refrigerator. In zip-lock bags placed in the freezer, quality is preserved for about 1 year. Flavor of leaves declines when plants bloom, shear leaves back as flower buds develop. Chives flowers are showy and edible, attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Plants are deer and rabbit resistant.

The fact that the 'Vette is even considered a serious contender now among these much pricier heavyweights says a lot.
In case you haven't been keeping track, the C7.R has quickly become the car to beat in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship's GT Le Mans class.
I thought watching those Corvettes fall into that sinkhole at the museum was tough to swallow, but this one beats that by a long shot — namely because this one is a man-made disaster as opposed to a natural catastrophe like the sinkhole.
Maybe Godzilla isn't the big behemoth to beat after all. In this battle against a twin-turbo C6 Corvette, the Nissan GT-R, nicknamed after the towering monster, seemed far less superior.
Corvettes, like all sports cars, have low centers of gravity, so when you've got a 'Vette on three wheels, you're doing some hard driving.

One of the most exciting aspects of a Turkey and Greece cruise is reliving the ancient history that is scattered across the islands and peninsulas. In ancient times and today, people were familiar with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. But it was not until Praxiteles, a sculptor from the 4th century B.C., made his famous work that the world came to know her in the buff.

India has a wealth to offer international tourists, from nature travel in the rich Western Ghats to the urban explorations afforded by the modern metropolis of Mumbai. Plus, the vibrant Indian culture draws travelers from across the globe. Modern explorers looking for a unique glimpse of the both the native culture and amazing wildlife can join International Expeditions' India Tiger Safari, which includes a stop in Khajuraho. This small town is famed for its temples featuring exquisite — and often erotic — depictions of the Hindu and Jain pantheons of gods.
Brazilian scientists reported finding a new river in the Amazon basin that they estimate is the same length but nearly 100 times as wide, The Guardian reports. Lead researchers Valiya Hamza and Elizabeth Tavares Pimentel of Brazil's National Observatory presented their findings at the International Congress of the Society Brasiliera Geophysical in Rio de Janeiro.
The sites of pure biodiversity found in the tropical Bijagós archipelago remain pristine today thanks to the local tribe's history of preservation and respect for nature.
In fact, despite the regional industrial threats, on the majority of the 88 islands — only 23 of which are inhabited — the ethnic Bijagós people have maintained land-based values in their religion.
Pilgrims once flocked to the Egyptian island of Philae, coming from all over the ancient world to worship Isis, a goddess who is commemorated with a massive temple that was re-erected from beneath the Nile River. Isis was mysterious to most who worshipped her, but was believed to have healing powers for those who sought her counsel.
Adventurers will find a wealth of exciting and mysterious artifacts on the path to the Incan city of Machu Picchu, and many of those are found in the great Urubamba Valley.

In fact, it is said to be where Moses was found in the reeds.
There is a reason the sparkling shoreline of Turkey is called the Turquoise Coast. Not because of any abundance of a certain mineral, but rather for the bright green-blue of its Aegean and Mediterranean waters. However, an even more apt name for the area may be something that pays homage to its historical roots, as everything in the region — from its cliffs to its bays — is steeped in the history and culture of the Lycians, an ancient group of people who made history for their peaceful democratic societies and institutions.
Although many people visit the region for a Kenya and Tanzania safari, the lakes of Kenya have gotten more attention in the news lately. Lake Elementaita, Lake Bogoria and Lake Nakuru were named UNESCO World Heritage Sites in June.
Though sites like Machu Picchu, the Great Pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge may differ from one another in several ways, they are all bound by at least one similarity — distinction as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The prestigious title reflects these locations' unique positions as arbiters of the local culture and as a commanding physical significance for the area in which it is found.

I loved it when I first purchased it. But. It's not what it's hyped up to be. Nothing compared to lorac or urban decay. It has INSANE FALLOUT. and also I had it in my makeup bag, which I am VERY GENTLE WITH and the bottom right definer shade shattered and fell all over all my makeup and also got all over my pretty dress I was wearing. I really do not recommend this product at all. Very hard to deal with.
Beautiful palette! The pigmentation is amazing and lasts all day! I have the naked 2 palette and this is just as good and its only $5.00!!

Pros: High pigmentation Long lasting Little to no fallout Drug Store brand Inexpensive Comparable to Naked Palette 2 Cons: Shimmery No Mattes

I looooOooOoove this palette. I'd had my eye on it for a few weeks before I stumbled upon a $2 off coupon and ended up getting this for $2.99. I honestly would give this palette five stars and would pay actual full price for just the color on the bottom right hand corner. The brown shade that shines blue? Ugh, it is GORGEOUS. I may be mistaken, but it looks a hell of a lot like MAC's blue brown pigment. Anyways, all these shadows are perfect and pigmented and buttery, just like always. No complaints here!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
SO amazing! This is my first Wet 'n Wild palette, and I'm so impressed! First off, you're getting 8 colours for only $5. Compared to other drugstore palettes that give you only 3 colours for close to $7, that's dirt cheap. Every single colour in this palette is super pigmented, extremely long lasting and very wearable as everyday colours. My eyes are hooded, so I tend to get eyeshadow creasing a lot more than someone with a non-hooded eye. Even with that being the case, I find I can go a whole school day and then a shift at work without having these colours fade! I use the dark brown "definer" colour on my eyebrows sometimes, too. It looks shimmery, but you can't see any sparkle when it's on the brow.
This palette has made me want to go back and try all the Wet 'n Wild eyeshadow colours! It's a new HG product for me and something I think everyone should have in their makeup bag.

BEST EYESHADOW EVER. even better than the overhyped naked palette,
cheap, extra buttery and pigmented, the only downside is that it's so delicate and soft so you have to be quite careful while using it. otherwise. excellent palette. please never discontinue it
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love-love-love this palette. The pigmentation of the colors is leagues beyond any other drugstore eyeshadow I've tried. This of course means that I have to use a bit of a lighter hand than I'm used to when applying, which is no big deal.
Favorite/Most Used Shades:
The eyelid shade on the left: a beautiful rose-gold for a warm look
The browbone shade on the right: I wouldn't use this on the browbone but I love it for all over the lid. It's silver with a slight green tinge and looks great with my blue-green eyes.
The deep chocolate brown definer on the left and the black-green crease shade on the right: I use either for slightly lining my eyes for definition and to make my lashes look fuller.
My ONLY complaint is that I get some major fallout. It may be the way I apply the shadows, that I should pat rather than swipe. Little flakes fall under my eyes and then when I try to wipe them away, they streak. No big deal though, because I either put something under my eye to keep the shadow from falling, or reapply concealer/wait to apply it.
For the inexpensive price, these shadows are very high quality and so worth it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This palette is excellent. It seems like with each and every Color Icon shadow they release, it just gets better. There's one shade in particular that has to be my favorite, and that's the shade on the very bottom of the right row. It has this two-toned effect to it like that of the Gray's Anatomy Fast Dry polish. It looks sort of copper, and in another light it looks blueish-grey. Very beautiful eyeshadow overall. The texture of all of the shadows in this are super smooth, very buttery feeling- like that of Urban Decay.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I also use some pretty high end shadows, but this palette is awesome for my browbone/outter V. They all have too much sparkle to use as my crease color (I have hooded lids) but for what I'm using it for, it's amazing!!! I especially love using the bottom right hand "define" color on the outter V for a night on the town! It's kind of "color changing" which I adore!!! These are highly pigmented and very blendable. For the price and quality, I highly recommend!!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The best thing that happened to my makeup bag. This is coming from someone who owns Urban Decay Naked palette, Nars eyeshadows, MAC, Kat Von D Beethoven Palette, and was given a gift set of shadows from Two Faced & Smashbox. Go get this. Its perfect. Highly pigmented, creamy (reminds me of the texture of Stila's shadows), long wearing, beautiful and wearable colors for daytime, work appropriate, cocktails and evening/club looks. Drugstore shadows tend to have limited range-but though these are brown and olive/greenish neutrals that work with many skin tones/eye colors-but these colors have dimension. There's a metallic finish with unusual undertones-but its never glittery or cheap looking. Given that I have stock in brown eyeshadow-brown eyeshadows are not all the same. Here, it's a rich buttery color with unusual flecks that I cant find in a drugstore. A fantastic buy. Go get this now.

Dramatic video of Mount Polley mine tailings spill
The Cariboo Regional District has posted this video of the tailings spill at Imperial Metals Corporation's Mount Polley mine.
On Monday (August 4), the Vancouver-based company reported the breach of a dam at the tailings pond at its copper and gold mine in central B.C.
Today (August 5), Imperial Metals said the dam has been "stabilized" but the cause of the spill remains unknown.
"Exact quantities of water and tailings discharged have yet to be determined. The tailings are alkaline with an average ph of 8.5 and are not acid generating," the company stated.
According to the regional district, people and livestock should not drink the water in the Quesnel Lake, Cariboo Creek, Hazeltine Creek, and Polley Lake areas as well as the "entire Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers systems right to the Fraser River".
"Boiling will not help. Swimming and other activities along the rivers are at your own risk," the CRD stated.
Shares of Imperial Metals were down more than 41 percent on the TSX, at time of writing.
The spill dwarfs the toxic mine waste spill in Hungary in 2010.
25% of the Fraser sockeye must now swim through the spill, or die trying in the course of the next few weeks. http://russgeorge.net/2014/08/04/fishpocalypse-now/

Life With Our Mutual Sons HOT!
How we two mothers found another world of ecstasy and extreme pleasure through our sons.
Bhabhis and sisters show the ultimate love..
How we two mothers found another world of ecstasy and extreme pleasure through our sons.
Me and my sister are not like the usual brother sister relation. We both share everything and anything. Her boobs are awesome to look at and she shows
My wife's sister was staying with us. My devil mind woke up once I saw her beautiful assets. I wanted to see her nude as every men would love to.
An unexpected chance of fucking my aunt happened during one rainy night. She was afraid to be alone and i had to accompany her. Her aroma makes me hornier.
Koushik, a young man narrates his story of his stay at Malda town till that eventful Thursday night, when his cousin sister Ratna induced him to have an incestuous sexual relation.
Priya and me had a amazing time when we were alone for 3 days. I fucked her in all positions, we slept naked had bath together and had many more things.
I got a chance to have fun with a relative of mine on a lustful night unexpectedly and how i enjoyed her body with a mixed feeling of excitement and fear.
I have always had an aim of having sex with my mami and finally it came true. It all started with dirty SMS transfer. I took it as a green signal from her
It's really hard to control your penis erection when your sister's boobs touches your chest; that too if it is of massive size. I had experienced it.
Rinku is my cousin and we both used to sleep together at night. One day it was too cold and she hugged me so tight that I was hot enough to fuck her.

Bose teams up with the Chevy Volt
Hear all about how Chevrolet partnered up with Bose Sound Systems to create a high-quality, energy-efficient stereo system for the 2011 Volt electric hybrid car.
After all the informative video thrown your way this week, you may be wondering if there's anything about the 2011 Chevy Volt that isn't more efficient than other vehicles. Sorry, but even the stereo isn't one of them. Today's video clip is about how professional audio titan Bose got involved in the making of Chevrolet's electric hybrid car set for release later this year.
In this video, Ed Peper, Chevy's North American vice president, introduces the partnership between the American auto manufacturer and Bose in the conception and creation of an energy-efficient sound system that made its debut with the Chevy Volt at the 2009 Chicago auto show. Bose Product Marketing Manager John Pelliccio is also on hand to explain what exactly is so "energy efficient" about the new Bose system that is installed on the Volt and how it still maintains the Bose sound quality. As an audiophile, I wish the video was a little more detailed about how this new Bose system works (and a practical demonstration would have been nice, too), it still shows the lengths that Chevrolet is going to in order to create a forward-thinking e-car that can compete with any other car of its ilk here in the United States and across the world.

Description: Caterpillar D8-8R Built in Illinois USA in 1941 then shipped over to England to join 79th armoured Div 819 Dozer Squadron. This actual machine took part in Normandy and D-Day events. Filmed on 19th July 2008 at Barton under Needwood Steam Rally ( near Lichfield Staffs ) What you are watching is the start process needed before the Big Cats diesel engine can be started. The petrol driven starter motor ( donkey engine ) is fired up first. This generates heat which inturn is used to warm up the big diesel engine prior to starting. The action of the starter motor also builds up the oil pressure in the big diesel engine. When the required oil pressure has been reached you will see the guy activate the start mechanism on the diesel engine. Once she has fired up the primary petrol engine is shut down leaving the Big Cat Diesel engine purring away....Sweet

Situated on a corner in the city's Washington Square neighborhood, the home's unassuming exterior is its best ruse: Architect-designed in the modernist tradition, over 5,000 square feet of space gives way to full-floor staircases, soaring ceilings and cavernous spaces. Cool in its steel-cased angularity, this home retains its warmth from the sun, let in by ample windows and skylights, including a glass rooftop atrium. A contemporary stunner. View the property.

So I decided it was time to build one of these bad boys. I looked on CL and found a small refrigerator for $30. I didn't want to build around it, I wanted to tear it apart (Plus the thing smelled). I ordered an aquarium temp controller from Ebay, like many people have done, it should arrive in a few days as I ordered it a week ago. Front of it with door removed already. Coils and compressor removed from back Top part of sheet metal cut and removed, exposing the insulation. Closer look of coolant line Freezer section cut out CAREFULLY Freezer and Compressor completely removed I am using one of the storage racks I purchased a few years ago from Costco. This helped me to save money, and the framework is already in place. Why re-invent??? Removed the second and fourth shelves. You can see I have the cooling portion mounted and skinned. I cut a section and notched out a place for the coolant line to go into the chamber. Using the hardware from the fridge I remounted the freezer to the top of the rack.
Are there any clearances to combustibles needed?
Unsure. Doubt it but it will be vented and circulated with fans.
Was able to complete quite a bit last night after making a quick trip to the orange box store for a few pieces of lumber. I laid the chamber down so it would be easier to actually lay all the cut pieces out and test for fit. Everything fit, almost like I knew what I was doing... I can easily get four carboys in the top portion, with room to spare for four growlers for blow off containers or small batches for creation purposes. Having some fun with my old school Playstation sign. It may be incorporated, haven't decided yet. Hoping to get the doors designed today and maybe even installed. Also have to work on the layout of all the wiring as I plan to have lights inside the chamber, and possibly glass within the doors so I can inspected without opening the chamber. Also need to decide on the placement of fans and ports for air circulation.
That looks really nice - well done!
This is awesome. I've been toying with this idea for a while but wasn't sure how to make it work. I'm gonna have to get going on mine!
Had a induction fan in place but it did not hardly move any air through my 3" tube. Struggling now to cone up with a solution to get cold air to the bottom as well as circulating the air. Thought about computer fans, but they seem to only move around 60 cfm. Racking my brain on this one.
From my limited HVAC experience, 3 inch duct should only be able to move ~35 cfm of air. I'd say booster fan but I can't find one that small.......
Been working on it when I have time. I have now finished the doors: I am no carpenter, and they are not perfect, but doesn't that add to the character of the finished product? I think so.

NASA's Curiosity rover stuck in safe mode thanks to a flash memory issue
NASA's Curiosity rover has been doing burnouts all over Mars' surface for a while now, but it looks like it has hit a snag - the rover will be switching to its backup computer in the coming days after it suffered a corrupted file that caused the primary "A-side" computer to glitch.
This all happened on February 27, with Curiosity not sending its daily dump of data back to Earth - instead, it switched into sleep mode. Mission Control of course had to act, and made the decision to switch the rover over to its backup, suspending their scientific research until the rover is fixed. NASA posted through their Twitter acccount:
Don't flip out: I just flipped over to my B-side computer while the team looks into an A-side memory issue
Curiosity has two computer systems on board, with the first "A-side" system used primarily for daily operations and the back up "B-side" used as a backup. The B-side now has to be updated with all of the data required to assume control of the rover and when it does, we'll be back in Mars exploration business.
Inspiration Mars ship will protect inhabitants from radiation with their number ones and twos
In five years time, Dennis Tito's plan of a private flyby of Mars will come to fruition, and as any journey into the dark beyond that is space, there are logistical issues that will have to be planned for its 501-day journey.
One of the most important issues is blocking the crew from deadly radiation, so how would you do this? Well, Tito's idea is to use human waste. Yes, human waste as in your bodily fluids. The Inspiration Mars spacecraft will be built with its walls lined in water-filled bags that would eventually be filled with the crews' waste, protecting them against cosmic rays. The water-filled bags will eventually get replaced with the crews' waste, which will then be dehydrated, purified and prepared as drinking water.
Water-based materials are better at stopping the deadly radiation, so it's a better solution than pure metal. It definitely sounds like an interesting way to solve the issue, but would you want to float through space knowing that your walls are covered in not only your waste, but your crew mates' waste? Delicious. In space, no one can hear you scream, I guess.
SpaceTT: Watch SpaceX launch next rocket to ISS live at 9:30am US Eastern time (this morning)
It's that time again folks - Science Friday is here, and today's post is coming a little early thanks to SpaceX. At 10:10am EST, Elon Musk's successful space flight company will be launching its next Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule on its way to the International Space Station and we can all watch it live!
Beginning at 9:30am EST, SpaceX will begin streaming live from the launch pad located at NASA's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Dragon capsule is scheduled to dock with the ISS on March 2nd and is filled with about 1,200 pounds of supplies including materials for about 160 new experiments.
When it returns to Earth three weeks later, on March 25th, it will be carrying about 2,300 pounds of spent cargo, trash and completed experiments. If everything goes as planned, this will be SpaceX's third successful trip to the ISS. For the true space geeks out there, each Falcon 9 rocket weighs 735,000 pounds, generates a thrust of 1,320,000 foot-pounds and cost roughly $133 million each mission.
Researchers announce the development of flexible, stretchable lithium-ion batteries
We've been hearing about flexible smartphones and displays, but before we can even imagine them in the consumer space, we need batteries to be flexible and stretchable. Well, it looks like that wait might be getting closer to an end, with researchers announcing the development of such a technology.
Using a process called "ordered unraveling", John A. Rogers from the University of Illinois and Yonggang Huang from Northwestern University say that their battery can be stretched by up to 300% of its original size, all without losing any functionality. Energy storage islands and "serpentine" wire connections are placed in a sheet of polymer. Polymer is flexible and stretchy by default, with the overlapping wiring can be installed without being damaged.
What can we expect in terms of battery life? According to the engineers, their solution performs close to a standard lithium-ion battery of the same physical size. So we're looking at around 8-9 hours, as well as the ability to charge it wirelessly, but the current prototype they're using loses some capacity after just 20 recharges.
STRaND-1 successfully makes it into space; Nexus One payload becomes first PhoneSat in Orbit
On Monday, a Google Nexus One was launched into orbit aboard a CubeSat named STRaND-1. Surrey Satellite Technology and the University of Surrey's Surrey Space Center are the two entities behind the launch and now hold the record for putting the first PhoneSat and UK CubSat into orbit.
In addition to the HTC manufactured handset, is an altitude and orbit control system, two propulsion systems and a Linux based computer. Once some test are ran, and everything checks out, the Linux computer will relinquish control to the Android based Nexus One.
The mission will test several experiments including how well off the shelf electronics survive the extreme conditions of space as well as some apps written by winners of a competition held last year. There is even an app called 360 will let users back on Earth request snapshots of our big blue ball taken from the phone's camera.
New service Makexyz is like Airbnb for 3D printer owners
It's no secret that 3D printing is one of the hottest trends in recent history, and it should be no surprise that anyone and everyone is coming up with new ways to capitalize on the 3D printing revolution. Makexyz is a new service that has been launched to help connect those who need 3D printed items with 3D printer owners.
Makexzy creator Nathan Tone told VentureBeat "Instead of being printed at some Orwellian factory, our objects are printed by real people." Tone said the idea for the service came to him when a part he designed, took weeks to be printed and shipped to him through traditional 3D printing services. "Theres's a big benefit to just printing locally. Objects are half as expensive and you get them twice as fast", he said.
Tone says that services like Shapeways take too much time and cost over double as something printed on a personal machine sourced locally. With most services charging as much as $1.50 per cubic centimeter having something printed is just out of reach for some designers. "We've been careful to make sure that our prices are lower than working through a big company", Tone said.

NASA says that the Russian meteor last week was the biggest in over 100 years
The highly destructive meteorite that blasted into Earth's atmosphere last week, exploding near Chelyabinsk, Russia is quite the event according to NASA. The US space agency have said that it is one of the biggest to strike in over 100 years.
The actual size of the object was 10,000 tons with the energy released from the event hovering at around 500 kilotons - nearly 30 times the size of the atomic bomb detonated over Hiroshima. The meteor impact that previously wielded this type of power, was in 1908 in Tunguska, Siberia.
The Voice of Russia has reported that over 1200 people have been injured, and 3724 buildings damaged by the impact. On top of this, a combined 200,000 square meters (2.15 million square feet) of shattered glass is the result from the intense shockwave. Damage is pegged at an estimated $33 million.
Paul Chodas of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office has stated that "we would expect an event of this magnitude to occur once every 100 years on average." What I don't understand, is that with all of the technology we've got - why we didn't see it coming? Are you telling me that if this asteroid was poised as a direct strike on the White House, that the President and hundreds of people would perish because NASA, or any other space agency for that matter didn't see it coming?
US scientists working on way to turn plastic bags into batteries
Scientists from the Argonne National Laboratory are working on something truly incredible, where they are converting plastic bags into batteries - yes, you read that right. Vilas Pol, a Chemist with the laboratory was interviewed by Al Jazeera, where he cut a plastic bag and eventually turned it into a battery.
Pol did this by cutting plastic bags into bits, puts the pieces of plastic bag into a metal tube, adds a 'catalyst', and heats it to 700C. In three hours, a fine black-colored powder - carbon. This carbon sells for $150 per gram, making it worth more than gold. Within a few minutes, the carbon can be converted into a watch battery. Scientists are now working on making this technology cheaper.
The more energy pushed into the battery, the cheaper the battery can get - which is the main driving force of storing more energy into the battery itself. The US government is set to invest $120 million into the project, to create smaller batteries that would eventually be used in smartphones, right up to electric cars.

SpaceTT: Live feed feed of the Moon and Jupiter tonight via Melton Memorial Observatory
While the awesome animated GIF images I posted earlier are fresh in your mind, I would like to bring something else I consider awesome to everyone's attention. My friends at the Melton Memorial Observatory of the University of South Carolina will be hosting a live video feed of their public observing session tonight.
If you tune in to their USTREAM page tonight between 8pm and 10pm US EST, you will be able to see live images of the moon as well as the planet Jupiter as seen from one of the telescopes on campus. They generally hold a live streaming session every Monday with the activities beginning shortly after dark.

Today, I was on the phone with a parent whose child studies in my violin studio. She told me her 10 year old son had been occasionally saying, for many years now, "Music will be my gift the world." A smile beamed inside my heart. This makes me immeasurably happy, his perspective.
I saw a movie last night that made me want to send a love letter to any one who has been significant in my life. I saw it with my best friend here in Baltimore. Just thinking of her now, makes me smile.
Secretly, when I am sitting next to someone on an airplane, I have always wished our culture was one where it was considered appropriate to cuddle up a bit with the person next to you, haha.
Last time I went home for Christmas, I brought back with me a separate suitcase filled exclusively of memories. I am working to organize and digitize stories, letters, photographs, character descriptions etc from close family members who have passed on in order to preserve those memories and make them more easily and widely accessible for friends and family.
I am deeply grateful I was raised in the LDS church. I take my mormon heritage seriously and much of my life history is built on what I consider to be compelling spiritual experiences. I feel that prayer has led me right. I love the LDS doctrines, people, and lifestyle. At this point in my journey, I consider myself both LDS and agnostic. I am ok with the fact that many people may find that contradictory. I value my faith and my doubt. I let them live side by side, hand in hand, ever dancing with each other.
Life is a grand and thrilling adventure!! It would probably be easier to make a list of things that aren't fun, like going to the DMV without an entertainment device :/
As I write this, I am listening to an audiobook. Before listening to this audiobook, I was watching a TED talk on feminism given by a woman whose book I listened to last week. Every Saturday, on my way home from teaching I listen to This American Life and whenever I get the chance to listen to a Science Friday episode, I think "too short."
My current favorite love song should you be wondering :) is Tim Minchin's, You Grew on Me.
You should message me if you are nice, honest, smart, interested in getting to know each other as friends. You should not message me if you're looking for casual sex.
