Aug 1, 2014 on FoodNetwork.com
"This is an awesome summer recipe. I saw it on the show and decided to make it myself. I made it for my husband and he ate almost the entire bowl. I made a double recipe for a small get together and it was gone. I didn't add all of the olive oil the second time and more vinegar. Not a huge fan of alot of OO but its a personal preference!"

"If I repeat a recipe more than once or my husband makes a special request for something, it deserves 5 stars! I love this recipe, if you know how to grill...it's as simple as mixing the spices! I don't think it's too spicy but if you want to cut down on the spice it's so easy to adjust. Definately a recipe I'll have memorized soon!""

"AWESOME. Seriously, one of the best dished I've made in awhile. I did cut the garlic down to one clove and about half the ginger but the flavor was amazing. I also seared the tuna on a grill, warmed up a frying pan on the grill and after I seared the tuna I put the fish in the pan and added the sauce. I could eat this everyday for a month. Or""

Home > About Us > Born Free Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the largest and most diverse countries in Africa, with an impressive natural heritage and it is here that Born Free Foundation Ethiopia (BFFE) was officially established in 2008 to support the conservation and welfare of wild animals in Ethiopia, especially by tackling illegal trade and ownership.
Born Free's support for wildlife conservation in this region however began many years previously with funding support for the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP).
Today, working closely with the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA), BFFE has a remit to provide assistance in many areas of wildlife protection.
We have a dynamic team based in Addis Ababa which is led by Project Director and Country Representative Stephen Brend. The current main focus for this team is to develop 'Ensessakotteh' – a Wildlife Rescue, Conservation and Education Centre that is being built on the outskirts of Addis Ababa. With the Centre as our base, the team works together to provide care for wild animals that are either confiscated or rescued; conduct conservation programmes; conduct centre based and outreach environmental education programmes and to help the Government build capacity in wildlife management.

There was construction in the area and I was placed in a massage room that had a window, therefore on an outside wall and it was very loud!! They should have closed that room. When I told the front desk they simply said, there is nothing we can do about construction! The amenities were very outdated, and apparently my services were switched!

Stories from our students
Students from Coloring Outside the Lines tell us about their experiences here at Salt Lake Community College.
Tevita Heimuli aka Leka
Major: Social Work / Performing Arts
COL has helped me embrace my sexuality and has made me feel comfortable in my skin. I feel more empowered and more confident in myself and being gay. "Different shouldn't be shunned, it should be celebrated."
Cherie Beam
Major: Small Business Ownership
Coloring Outside the Lines has helped me build my confidence. Especially when I had cancer, they were there to keep my mind busy. I have also made some great friends through this club. I have had some great inspiring talks with Jonathon Wilson.
Ava Asmak
Major: Psychology
Iran is my home where I couldn't be who I am and was never open about my sexuality. How I was treated put me in a place where I could not be proud of who I am. Moving to America didn't change much, until now. I attended SLCC and joined C.O.L. This club has helped me to understand that it's not hard to be open about who you are. They helped me believe in myself and treat me like family. I am proud to be part of C.O.L.
Alan Castaneda
Major: Biology or Music
I am 19 and I am a student here at SLCC. I would love to work in a zoo, helping and taking care of animals. I would also love to be part of a professional orchestra and play the violin. C.O.L. has helped me to meet new people and has given me a better understanding of the LGBTQ community. I have branched out of my comfort zone and joined many different clubs. C.O.L. helps me to know of upcoming events, that I can volunteer for. C.O.L. has many different kinds of people whom I can identify with and have given me aspirations to involve myself in activities that will shape my future.

We have had a nanny come home so far but now decided to send LO to daycare. I am supposed to provide LO's lunch , snacks and drinks since he has diet restrictions
I worry that I may not have the essential things thought out. - Could you pls help me ensure I am prepared for the first few days till I figure things out -
I plan to take more than a weeks supply of diapers and wipes and leave with daycare
I plan to have mabels label to label his clothes and bottles
Some questions……..
-My son is transitioning from bottle to sippy cup & I plan to send LO with 4 sippy cups daily - a sippy cup for water and 3 sippy cups with milk for each of the 3 times he is supposed to have… …does this make sense?
I need to send 2 snacks a day - what kind of containers do you recommend I buy to send snacks (like boiled veg?) ?
I plan to send 3 change of clothes daily – is that too much
How do you 'package' all this to day-care- is it in a diaper bag?
Any other logistical things I need to plan & ensure?
Thank you in advance

Greatly expanded abilities. I like the email check system most. Also the website warnings.
I have clicked on the AVG icon and found three times that it had "deactivated" all features several days before without any kind of notice. I end up removing the old AVG and downloading a new version and it is good for a couple of months.
It is ok when it works... I now must check it routinely to find out if it has deactivated.

Woods made his first birdie of the day at his fifth hole, the 218-yard par-3 14th. He rolled in a 15-foot putt to get to 1 under for the round and 1 over for the tournament.
The birdie came after Woods squandered a good chance for birdie at his fourth hole. He ripped a 330-yard drive down the middle there.
'Longest drive here so far this morning,' the ShotLink operator there said..
But as has been the case with Woods' game of late, another piece gave way. With just a wedge needed to set up birdie, he inexplicably came up short, in the rough in front of the green. He dropped his club and slumped in disgust with his hands on his knees. It was his first missed green of the morning. He did save par there.

We arrived down in our Florida condo and by chance I happen to notice honey combs under the lip of front porch. One of workers in the area noticed me looking at them and said they were yellow jackets. He may be wrong because yellow jackets normally live in the ground, but I'm not sure. Either way the nest needs to be removed. The only problem is that you cannot see the nest until you are extremely close to the nest almost under the lip of the front porch ceiling. I also noticed they are starting to build a second nest 6 feet away in the corner, also on the ceiling of the front porch.
I know that whatever we do should be at night when they are all home, but I'm not sure how to get rid of it/them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -nate |
Follow-Up Postings:
Depending upon the kind of yellowjackets, they can live in the ground or in an aerial nest. But combs you won't see because the large nest is built such that the interior isn't visible. If you can see into the underside of what appears to be combs, and the critters look like yellowjackets, you likely have European paper wasps -- technical name Polistes dominulus. If so, they're relatively recent arrivals in the US, I think the late 1990s. |

I have a small tree growing right next to my garage (it is probably about 4-5 feet tall now. I tried to do a search on it and I think it is a tulip tree - can someone verify? I have no idea how it got there but I'm pretty sure I need to either remove it or move it - it is less than a foot from the wall. I'd like to try to transplant it but not sure if it is too late. I live in New Jersey and I'm sure it will get hot soon. Thank you. |

It IS a tulip tree...I'll let someone in NJ or thereabouts advise you on best transplanting time. Sara |
- Posted by nurseryman33 4/5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 7, 13 at 20:23
Transplant in the fall when it goes dormant (October) or in the spring before bud break (March) for best results. |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Fri, Jun 7, 13 at 20:46
Now is not the best transplant time, then again moving an eight footer in the fall with a larger root system does not sound like a better choice. Go ahead and do it now I say. That way if the tree does not make it to fall you can pick a replacement. FWIW, I think this species is under appreciated. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 8, 13 at 8:05
you move a deciduous tree.. when its naked.. fall or spring.. depending where you are .. otherwise all the leaves will fall off.. and it will waste any stored energy.. releafing.. instead of growing the roots you cut off ... if some project requires immediate moving.. so be it.. but dont expect much ... ken |
toronado888 - do you mean that it can get to 8 feet by fall?? I would like to move it and give it a fighting chance but am just not sure if it will damage the garage wall. Does the root system spread out much or does it have deep root system? |
Unless they grow like weeds around you, I'd give it its best chance it has by transplanting in spring before the buds swell. Fall is fine too if you can get a decent amount roots and depending on your soil type. For example if you have clay soil I wouldn't bother with transplanting in fall. Just my preference. |
Yes, skeylargo! Yellow poplar grows fast, and can get to over 100 feet tall. You do NOT want this 1' from your garage! |
I have not seen a tree like this anywhere near me so it still a mystery how it got there. I do have a clay soil, so now I just have to decide if I want to chance it leaving it until spring and chance a damage to garage wall or just move it now with a good chance of killing it. Neither sounds like a good option :( Thank you all for the informatio. |

Tuliptree/Tulip Poplar/Yellow Poplar (all names for Liriodendron tulipifera) is FAST growing in ideal conditions. That four-footer could easily be 8 feet by fall, as suggested. |
Well, I guess that tree is getting moved tomorrow! That's one big tree toronado3800. |
Does "4-5 feet tall now" include this year's current growth? If not, yes it could be close to 8 feet by fall, otherwise, probably not. As it is, its pretty big to move as a one-person, untrained job, but you can give it a go after its dormant. |
Honestly, if you've got one that big growing freely near you, you should look for smaller ones nearby to move where you want, and consider killing the one by your garage. If you have planting beds or hedges, its entirely possible there are small specimens there. If you really want your own tulip poplar... |
I'm in eastern PA, so similar area to New Jersey. I've transplanted tulip trees in summer about the same size. Ken is right that they will drop their leaves. They should do ok repopulating leaf growth, but I've had to reduce the height of some by half to reduce the amount of stress in the plant during re-leafing. An under appreciated tree, in my opinion, if you've got the space. |

skeylargo, did you end up moving the tree? I've found that wild-grown Liriodendron often has a sparse root system and can be "touchy" to transplant at much bigger than a few feet tall. A 9-footer behind my parents garage was the first tree I ever killed by transplanting when I was a kid. Nursery grown (root pruning of various methods) usually transplant fine, however. |

OGJ Oil Diplomacy Editor
LOS ANGELES, Apr. 29 -- Activist organizations are urging the Environmental Protection Agency to expand regulation of wastewater discharges from the oil and gas drilling industry to cover a host of exploration, stimulation, and extraction activities, according to Water Policy Report.
Arguing that expanded development and increased use of chemicals during extraction are raising new concerns for water quality, the activists say emerging water pollution problems associated with these activities, especially horizontal hydraulic fracturing for natural gas, have revealed significant shortcomings in EPA's effluent limitations guidelines (ELGs) for the oil and gas extraction sector.
However, industry sources told WPRa Washington publication covering EPA's water quality and drinking water programsthat new standards would be unnecessary and ineffective. New national standards are unsuitable because wastewater varies greatly depending on regional geology, and permit writers would have to revert to their current case-by-case analysis anyway, one industry source said.
Earthjustice, a nonprofit public interest law firm specializing in proenvironmental litigation, and a host of environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council and Waterkeeper Alliance, are urging the EPA to set new wastewater discharge standards for oil and gas development, according to early April comments on the agency's final 2008 ELG program plan.
EPA is considering creation of a new ELG for wastewater from coalbed methane extraction and is collecting information on so-called produced water discharges and treatment technologies.
However, environmentalists argue the agency should create more expansive wastewater discharge standards "rather than focusing the ELGs narrowly on the regulation of wastewater discharges from coalbed methane extraction."
The activists recommend: setting a pretreatment standard banning wastewater discharges to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs); creating a new subcategory in the centralized wastewater treatment plant ELG to address oil or gas-related wastewaters with a zero discharge limit for the subcategory; and regulating the storage of effluents kept near the wellhead.
Environmentalists say new standards are necessary because oil and gas development is expanding rapidly and because the sector is developing previously uneconomic resources, which may require more aggressive extraction practices.
The groups are especially concerned about the practice of hydraulic fracturing, where water and chemicals are forced into the ground to crack shale formations and release natural gas so it can be extracted.
The environmentalists say banning wastewater discharges to POTWs is necessary because the treatment plants simply dilute the wastewater, rather than treat for the salts, minerals, and fracturing chemicals that may be in the wastewater.
As an example, the groups cite contamination of the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania in late 2008. The river was impaired by total dissolved solids such as chlorides and sulfates, and activists say the state environment department blamed the contamination on the discharge of oil and gas wastewater to POTWs.
Activists are urging EPA to gather and publish information about the chemicals used in fracturing fluid and provide toxicological, epidemiological, and fate and transport data for the chemicals. The groups also seek an ELG to set enforceable best management practices for storage of wastewater near the wellhead.
But industry sources say new standards are not necessary and would not be effective. ELGs are technology-based and are best suited to water treatment systems where the contamination is predictable, one industry source said.
Produced water from oil and gas development, however, varies widely depending on regional geology, the source told WPR. So permit writers would likely have to depart from the ELG technology requirements and use their best professional judgment, which is the standard that permit-writers currently use, the source said.
There is also no need to ban discharges to POTWs, the industry source said. Instead, water treatment plants should determine whether their treatment is adequate to deal with oil and gas wastewater and meet their standards.
A local industry source also raised concerns with the environmentalists' comments, WPR said.
Of the more than 7,000 drilling permits issued by Pennsylvania in 2008, fewer than 300 use hydraulic fracturing, the source said. And the water quality incident in Pennsylvania, which activists say proves POTW treatment is inadequate for drilling wastewater, was actually caused by runoff from abandoned coal mines, the source said.
Hydraulic fracturing has been used since the 1950s, and new ELGs are not necessary because oil and gas wastewater has been handled very well under the current water permitting program, the source said.
Because states like Pennsylvania have been effective in dealing with unique contents of wastewater from the region, the source said, "We don't believe EPA needs to get involved at that level."
Meanwhile, the Department of Energy last week released a report examining the scope of regulatory oversight for shale gas. It commissioned the report from the Ground Water Protection Council, a group representing state regulators of underground injection wells and oil and gas interests.
The report, Modern Shale Gas Development in the United States: A Primer, downplays the potential for environmental harm from increased use of hydraulic fracturing, as well as from extensive horizontal drilling. The report said the latter "has not introduced any new environmental concerns."
Hydraulic fracturing, the report argues, is a "key technology" for the nation's energy supply. There are some challenges for water availability and management, but "innovative regional solutions are emerging that allow shale gas development while ensuring that the water needs of other users are not affected and that surface and ground water quality is protected," it said.
Rather than encourage new regulation or retraction of the exemptions for hydraulic fracturing under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the report deems the current regulatory structure overseeing the environmental safety of natural gas drilling to be largely safe.
The report notes repeatedly that states, local governments, and tribes may in many instances create more stringent regulations than those federally mandated and examines requirements under the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.
Further, the report said, "Natural gas will continue to play a significant role in the US energy picture for some time to come," providing around 22% of the nation's energy over the next 20 years.

Judge upholds NY gun law with one exception
Washington - A federal judge is upholding most of the SAFE Act (New York's gun law) except for one provision.
The judge rejected the ban on magazines that held more than seven rounds saying it was arbitrary.
Other than that, he backed the law, rejecting arguments that bans on large-capacity magazines and the sale of some semi-automatic rifles violate second amendment rights.
There is no word on when the decision could be appealed.

AT&T Charges $750 For One Minute of International Data Roaming
Re:50MB = 750$ (321 comments)
Yeah, too bad, that. I bailed from Sprint's awful service and even worse smarmy lame customer service to T-Mobile, and now I tremble in fear that the one reasonable nationwide carrier may be swallowed and I'll get to choose between 3 flavors of scumbags. I love consumer choice!
I really really hope this acquisition is blocked, just as the attempt by AT&T was blocked a couple years ago.

Putting Flesh on Phones
Earlier this week, Wicked Pictures, a leading XXX production house, inked a licensing deal with Brickhouse Mobile, one of the companies leading the charge to bring porn to cell phones.
The two firms hope the pact will result in adult fare for mobile customers around the world.
They have many reasons to expect a lucrative relationship. The Yankee Group predicts the mobile adult-content business to be worth $1 billion worldwide by 2008, while Juniper Research has it at $2.1 billion by 2009.
Either way, it's big bucks.
But not necessarily in America. Adult content has been available for a couple of years in Europe and Asia, but conservative U.S. carriers -- and an anti-porn administration -- have the adult industry taking it slow to put flesh on U.S. phones.
Still, some carriers are offering mobile ring tones using the voices of well-known porn stars, or "moan and groan tones."
Others sell sexy wallpapers, saucy stills or short video clips. Most is mild: swimwear and lingerie rather than anything hard core.
But the mobile porn industry expects cell phones to be like cable TV: a little flesh at first, then more -- maybe a lot more -- as the medium matures.
This is where Brickhouse Mobile steps in: The company aims to broker deals between the porn industry and carriers.
Wired News talked to Brickhouse President Clinton Fayling about the Wicked deal, the industry, regulation and more.
Wired News: Explain why the Wicked deal matters?
Clinton Fayling: Wicked is one of the leading adult film studios. Part of Brickhouse's plan is to work with top-tier clients in the adult space. With Wicked, we will develop mobile content from their existing inventory of photographs and video. We will also work with them to create content that is custom for the mobile environment, like ring tones featuring their contract stars, photos and video shot with the mobile format in mind. We believe mobile will have a bigger impact on the adult industry than even the internet. We are going to work with carriers and abide by their standards and practices. For the U.S. market, that means featuring Wicked contract stars in lingerie and bikinis. Internationally, we will offer nude content.
WN: Why do you think mobile will be bigger for adult content than the internet?
Fayling: Because mobile is truly a personal device. Your computer may be viewed or used by a family member, friend or co-worker, but the phone is something that rarely leaves the owner's sight. The viewing experience is different, but mobile content is intended for short periods of viewing time. Internationally, acceptance has been swift. It has been slower in the U.S., because we've been spoiled by broadband. But we will catch up.
WN: What do you think of the projections for the mobile adult-entertainment market?
Fayling: The projections are all over the map. But I fall back to the lessons learned with the internet. One of the great features of the mobile phone is internet access virtually anywhere. If typical adult consumers access the internet via their PCs, why wouldn't they do the same wirelessly? The only factor that could skew the numbers is the type of adult content that can be accessed via your mobile phone. We are playing by the carrier rules, and we understand they want to move ahead cautiously to balance their subscribers' interests and concerns.

Some people clean when they're stressed, but not everyone has the fortitude to turn that habit into a thriving business. But that's exactly what Green Maidworks' owners Paul and Sheri Kaplan did after Paul followed a teaching job offer from California to Virginia, only to have it retracted upon arrival due to the recession. Faced with the opportunity to embark on something new, the Kaplans took stock of their greatest assets??which included their children and the idealism that drove their initial desire to teach public school??and decided to develop a business that would help others lead healthier lives.
More than a quarter-century later, Green Maidworks remains committed to easing the psychological and physical stress of cleaning, and gives busy professionals more time to spend with their families. An equal dedication to the environment compels them to use only nontoxic cleaners that have been approved by Green Seal, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting sustainability. Vacuums bear CRI Green Label certification that ensures they adhere to stringent requirements for picking up and holding onto dirt, and the team's microfiber towels have been patented for their ability to remove 99.98% of all germs from hard surfaces. Each Green Maidworks employee is vetted with a similar thoroughness to earn the trust of clients, some of whom feel comfortable enough to give the company their keys and the secret to their award-winning mincemeat recipe.
While most cleaning companies are content to leave floors clean enough to eat off of, the team from L & S Maid Service strives to leave them safe to eat off of as well. These cleaners wipe away dust with microfiber cloths, polish surfaces with Green Seal?certified products, and use HEPA-filter vacuums to clean up after the kids leave a trail of breadcrumbs to remember how to get to the kitchen. They use green cleaning techniques not only during new baby cleaning services, but also during regular house and commercial cleaning sessions. In addition, L & S Maid Service's staff can clean carpets and straighten up messes after construction projects or parties.
DreamHome Remodeling's insured and experienced technicians work to create home improvements that help homeowners obtain their ideal living spaces. They offer a variety of replacement windows, ranging from sliding, to picture, to basement. They also install energy-saving attic insulation, garage doors, siding, roofing, and gutters. Additionally, they boast an on-site response within 24-hours to any problems present with their products or installations.
United Air Temp began servicing heating and cooling systems in 1931. Since then, the company has installed more than 55,000 systems and continues to service more than 60,000 clients. An expert staff is responsible for racking up these impressive numbers. The skilled technicians can troubleshoot problems with nearly any type of hot water boiler, gas-fired furnace, or heat pump.
The technicians at Cleenees take a signature, organic approach to all of their services, whether waxing floors and washing windows at residential homes or cleaning suites and facilities at local hotels and community colleges. The staff travels to residences throughout the D.C. metro area for all manner of jobs ranging from move-in and move-out work to seasonal cleaning tasks, such as clearing snowmen out of the freezer. The crews can set their sights on floors with thorough carpet cleaning services or take on entire rooms with dusting, floor waxing, window washing, air-vent cleaning, and other helpful services.

On-Base Percentage (OBP) measures the most important thing a batter can do at the plate: not make an out. Since a team only gets 27 outs per game, making outs at a high rate isn't a good thing — that is, if a team wants to win. Players with high on-base percentages avoid making outs and reach base at a high rate, prolonging games and giving their team more opportunities to score.
The formula for OBP is simple:
OBP has become synonymous with the book "Moneyball" because at in the early 2000s, teams weren't properly valuing players with high OBPs and the Oakland A's could swipe talented players for cheap. These days, every team has come to accept how vitally important OBP is to their success, and that particular "market inefficiency" has been closed.
Please note that the following chart is meant as an estimate, and that league-average OBP varies on a year-by-year basis. To see the league-average OBP for every year from 1901 to the present, check the FanGraphs leaderboards.
Rating | OBP |
Excellent | 0.400 |
Great | 0.370 |
Above Average | 0.340 |
Average | 0.320 |
Below Average | 0.310 |
Poor | 0.300 |
Awful | 0.290 |
Things to Remember:
● OBP is considered more accurate than Batting Average in measuring a player's offensive value, since it takes into account hits and walks. A player could bat over .300, but if they don't walk at all, they're not helping their team as much as a .270 hitter with a .380 OBP.
● A player's OBP is a good predictor of their future OBP after 500 plate appearances. So if Pujols has a .500 OBP after only 50 plate appearances, don't expect him to continue reaching base at that rate.

Moms and Students Can Enjoy #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso
If you're interested in starting your own business and like books with a sassy voice, #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso is a fantastic read. If you know a high school student or recent graduate who doesn't want to go the traditional college route (and maybe even if they do), this is a good story to share with them.
The book tells the story of Sophia Amoruso's journey from the early days of selling on eBay and having nothing, to building a $100 million+ business (Nasty Gal) around vintage clothing finds and gorgeous newer clothing from today's designers.
I personally loved the smart, let-it-all-hang-out, no secrets story. It's a quick read and how can it help being an inspirational tale? Amoruso went from dumpster diving for bagels to becoming the CEO and founder of a successful business, in large part by starting small and paying attention to the little details.
It may be just the reminder that you, a teen, or young adult trying to find their way, could use in order to turn dreams into a reality.
#GirlBoss inspires its readers to take control of their lives and make things happen, no matter how much it seems the odds are stacked against them. It's not your typical how-to or motivational story. It's a funny, fresh read that reminds you how much a situation can change with the right amount of dedication, passion, and belief that things will all work out.
It feels like you're reading an intriguing story more than a guide, but there's so much knowledge tucked into those pages, too.

Rocket Man
By Matthew Breen
Tight yellow tunic, broad chest, and a slightly manic, hungry look in his eye: There's little argument that Star Trek's Captain Kirk cut a dashing figure, at least by the TV standards of 1966. Yet despite Kirk's legendary status as the most capable ladies' man in space, adept at wooing and bedding both human and alien females, Battlestar Galactica's resident sexpot, Jamie Bamber (Lee 'Apollo' Adama), has already seen more bedspring action than Kirk got in the full run of his show.
The new, sexier incarnation of Battlestar began in 2003 when the Sci Fi Channel produced a miniseries 'reimagining' the 1978-1980 series. The new show retains many of the same basic elements, most notably the plotline: After the 12 planets of a distant colony of humans are decimated by a race of cybernetic beings called Cylons, the few surviving humans set off into space searching for a lost mythic planet called Earth.
The show has been widely acclaimed as superior to the very popular original series, due in large part to its creators' rejecting many of the well-worn sci-fi TV tropes made into virtual guiding principles of the genre by Star Trek. In addition to Battlestar's other revolutionary elements'including handheld camera, bullets instead of energy beam weapons, and a primitive-sounding drum score rather than the more familiar orchestral bombast'the show also features some of the most appealing forms in outer space, including burgeoning lesbian icon Katee Sackhoff ('Starbuck'), hunky Tahmoh Penikett ('Helo'), and, of course, Bamber.
The Sci Fi Channel's runaway hit is emblematic of a new trend in science fiction television toward more fully realized, complex characters, many of whom even have sex lives. And if the sexing of sci-fi TV is a trend, then gay fans are thanking their lucky stars for sexy Bamber, whose body-conscious tank tops and revealing sex scenes turn the more common objectification of sci-fi women (think Princess Leia in the golden bikini) on its ear. Bamber's season 2 scene in a unisex locker room in which he wears only a towel (and not for long) was no less than a queer blogosphere sensation.
As hunky as Bamber is, he's the show's accidental heartthrob. During casting, the 5-foot-9 Bamber says, he was dwarfed by the competition: 'There were several other hunks in the room that were a lot hunkier than me. They were huge! The overall average physical body type in Los Angeles is completely different [than] in the U.K. So I'm not used to being in a room with a bunch of guys that look like they play college football'and yet they were obviously good actors as well. They didn't want the archetypal sort of jock hero. They wanted someone a bit more, I guess, cerebral.'
Battlestar executive producer and writer David Eick says he and director Michael Rymer decided against casting the beefcake actors vying for the role: 'I just thought it was a mistake to go in that direction because it felt more traditional, more the archetype of the genre.' Eick initially thought of Bamber as 'sort of a small, retreating, very nice English guy' That was before I saw how he looked on film. The camera really likes Jamie. He cuts the light, as they say, in a very arresting way, and I can certainly see why gay men and straight women find him attractive.'
Despite the fact that sci-fi TV has been an almost categorically hetero medium, depictions of worlds in which homophobia, racism, and sexism were artifacts of a less sophisticated era (ours) are appealing to anyone regularly on the wrong end of an epithet. Nevertheless, the genre has been tediously ham-fisted when it comes to depictions of romance. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's edict for all the spin-off shows was that in the future, human society would be more enlightened. While the concept was rosily utopian, it presented a dilemma for writers. 'There was little opportunity for conflict between characters because it was written in stone that they all get along and are highly professional and much more evolved than we are,' notes Bryan Fuller, a gay former writer on the Star Trek series Deep Space Nine and Voyager. 'With that came a sort of sexual sterility.'

How to Make Your Own 3D Glasses
Two Methods:Paper versionConverting a pair of sunglasses
Making your own 3D glasses is so easy to do that you can whip them up just before a movie, right at the moment you discover the ones that came with your 3D DVD are missing! Here are two methods for producing effective 3D glasses at home.
Method 1 of 2: Paper version
1Download and print off a copy of the PDF. This template can be downloaded from NASA.
- Cut out each piece (including the lens).
- Tape the side earpieces to the center section, as shown, to form a pair of glasses. This will be your pattern stencil to transfer to heavier stock.
Ad -
2Tape the stencil flat to a sturdy poster board, or carefully trace around it.
- Cut out the glasses.
- Cut the eyeholes as well.
3Cut out lenses from the sheets of blue and red acetate. You can find acetate sheets (or gels) at art supply stores or theatrical/stage lighting stores for just a few bucks per color.
- If you can only find clear acetate, color with a red and blue marker (one red, one blue lens).
- Make sure to cut the acetate pieces a little larger than the opening for the eyes.
- If you can only find clear acetate, color with a red and blue marker (one red, one blue lens).
4Tape the lenses over the eyeholes. Red goes on the LEFT, and blue goes on the RIGHT.
- Don't get tape on parts of the acetate visible through the eyehole—you'll get a fuzzy image.
- Don't get tape on parts of the acetate visible through the eyehole—you'll get a fuzzy image.
5Fit the glasses. Make any necessary adjustments, then enjoy your 3D movie!
Method 2 of 2: Converting a pair of sunglasses[1]
1Find a cheap pair of plastic sunglasses. Dollar store or thrift store shades are perfectly fine, or you can find them in the kid's toys section. Pop out the plastic lenses.
2Make lens templates. Use the plastic lenses as a template to draw the correct shape onto the transparency sheet, cellophane, or acetate.
3Cut out the lenses. Follow the inside edge of the line you have traced on the plastic.
4Colour with the red and blue markers. If you didn't use red or blue coloured plastic sheeting, you'll need to colour each lens. Make the left lens red, the right lens blue.
5Place the coloured lenses back into the frames. Red goes on the LEFT, and blue goes on the RIGHT.
6Check that they fit well. Make any adjustments if needed, then start watching your 3D movie.Ad
We could really use your help!

Vans shoes?
fashion and clothing?
- These 3D glasses will only work with movies that use the red/blue shift method for 3D. Modern 3D movies in the theaters use polarization and the new home 3D TVs and movies use synchronization with glasses that have lenses with high speed shutters. These red/blue glasses will not work for those other technologies.
- If you would like to make custom polarized glasses, you can simply keep the pair you get from the movie theater (returning them is optional) remove the lenses, and follow the directions above! Make sure to remember which lens came from which socket. This method will not work for the powered shutter 3D glasses needed for most of the newer 3D TV models.
- These 3D glasses will work for stereoscopic (anaglyph) 3D, the kind that's used in 3D DVDs (not BluRay3D) and PC games that have 3D capability such as "Bioshock", "King's Bounty: Armoured Princess" and "Minecraft." They should also work for stereoscopic images as well.
- The pattern provided is just one possible style. Vary the outer shape of the glasses to make them fit better for your own needs, or to make them more creative.
- If desired, decorate the glasses using any materials on hand.
- If you use teal or green instead of blue, the colors might not blend in and it might not work. Make sure it is pure blue.
- Do not wear your glasses constantly; 3D glasses can cause headaches.
- Do not drive while wearing these glasses.
Things You'll Need
- Plastic sunglasses (method one)
- Colorless safety glasses can also be obtained from a hardware store; these could be colored directly without needing transparent sheet (method one)
- Transparency sheet, cellophane, or acetate (methods one and two), colored or clear; if clear, also get markers
- Sturdy poster board, such as oaktag (method 2)
- Scissors
- Clear tape
- Basic pattern for glasses (see template for method 2)
- Blue and red markers (suitable for plastic)

Seattle's Human Services Department gets another leader — for the moment
Finding the right human resource for the HSD
A man with decades of executive experience but little background in social services is now in charge of Seattle's Human Services Department (HSD).
Mayor Ed Murray's July 23 appointment of John Okamoto is the latest turn in what has become a revolving door. HSD has had five directors since 2008. Three of the directors, including Okamoto, were interim or acting directors.
Murray has placed the search for a permanent director on hold and plans to appoint someone in the middle of 2015, he said.
The lack of stability at HSD's top job, which involves overseeing a staff of 330 people and a budget of $124 million, is not lost on city leaders.
"Turnover is a huge issue," said Councilmember Sally Bagshaw. "I think we need somebody that will stay, somebody who shares the vision on focusing on human health downtown."
It's a trend that continues from past mayoral administrations.
Mayor Greg Nickels appointed Alan Painter to lead HSD in 2008. When Mayor Mike McGinn was elected, he replaced Painter with Kip Tokuda, who spent just a few months on the job before McGinn replaced him with Dannette Smith.
Smith resigned in 2013 to take a similar job in Virginia.
Murray said Okamoto's job is to help end the revolving door, something Okamoto, 60, seems eager to do. Among his goals for the department, he listed finding a "younger, brighter" person to take over.
"What I'm attempting to do is stabilize the office," Murray said on July 30 to Real Change.
It's been hard to find the right person for the job.
To help, Murray turned to people with experience in the field. He appointed Plymouth Housing Executive Director Paul Lambros and retired public health expert Dorothy Mann to co-chair a search for a head of the department.
But little came of it. Councilmember Sally Clark, who chairs the Housing Affordability, Human Services and Economic Resiliency Committee, said that of three finalists, none could bring stability to the department.
Lambros said the mayor wanted a dynamic leader and a stellar person.
"We did not find a candidate for him, so he wanted to put a more long-term interim into the position," Lambros said.
Clark said the search required more time.
"It's too important a department to settle for your second or third choice," Clark said.
Human services advocates worry about waiting too long. A number of projects were already in motion under the direction of Catherine Lester, said Sharon Lee, executive director of the Low Income Housing Institute.
"I'm very concerned about continuity," Lee said, noting that city departments will soon transmit budget proposals to the mayor's office. Continuous changes in leadership weaken the department's position in city government, she said.
The move is another sign of Murray's poor record on human services in his first year of office, said Bill Kirlin-Hackett, director of the Interfaith Taskforce on Homelessness.
"Right now we're struggling to get the mayor engaged around homelessness," Kirlin-Hackett said. "This is not going to help that."
HSD has undergone several changes in the last several years. Former director Dannette Smith saw herself as a change agent, but her reform efforts and restructuring inside and outside HSD rubbed many the wrong way ("This will only hurt for a second," RC, May 29, 2013).
She faced criticism for eliminating the director of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention and consolidating that program into other parts of HSD.
"I still hear people talk about that," said Councilmember Clark.
Smith was also criticized for cutting funding to nine homeless day centers. She quickly reinstated the funding after the centers' operators protested.
Okamoto, who took over at the beginning of August, said he'd braced himself for "turmoil."
"Things are not nearly as bad as I had expected," Okamoto said. "There's a foundation of good people and good work."
Okamoto previously headed the Washington Education Association, the state teacher's union. Prior to that, he was the chief administrative officer at the Port of Seattle.
He worked for HSD once in his early 20s, as a summer youth counselor in the 1970s. He headed two city departments under Norm Rice's administration in the 1990s: the Human Resources Department and the Department of Engineering, now known as the Department of Transportation.
Okamoto will earn an annual salary of $151,000. He replaces Interim Director Lester, who agreed to stay on and help with the transition.

After finishing my wood floor installation, I mistakenly applied a satin polyurethane instead of semi gloss. My wife and I want a glossy finish to our floor.
Can I just sand down the satin polyurethane and apply a semi gloss to achieve a glosy finish or is it too late? |

This colour is just so amazingly gorgeous on me. It's incredibly subtle, it won't catch your eye from a distance, but up close it's soft rose gold almost seems to glow a little. I feel so pretty when I'm wearing this polish.
Oh, and it lasts INCREDIBLY well on me...one of my longest lasting polishes, for sure.

What a beautiful color! A warm, shimmery metallic gold - not orangey, not too yellow. Perfect for any time of year actually. Opaque in one coat. My issue is that because it is metallic is takes forever for me to apply it evenly. And it definitely needs a ridge filler underneath ~ shows each and every lump and bump. I absolutely love the color, not the finish - I wouldn't buy this again.

This is a beautiful soft, warm, shimmery gold, which is sort of my go to color when I'm not sure what to wear because it's subtle but pretty. Like all Zoyas I've encountered this wears like iron on me.

Social housing plans to be abandoned
Author: The Times - Aug 18, 2009
Plans to build thousands of new social homes will have to be abandoned because of the Governments decision to cut the amount tenants will have to pay in rent next year, The Times has learnt. Housing associations will warn today that their income will fall by at least £260 million next year if the Government continues to link social housing rent to inflation.
The retail prices index is expected to fall below minus 2 per cent in September, the month when rent is set for the next year, presenting the prospect of real cuts in social rental payments for the first time.
In a consultation paper sent out last month the Government said it would set a floor of a 2 per cent reduction in rent and would absorb the deficit if inflation dropped even further. Ministers hoped this would protect both the tenant and housing associations, who have lost millions during the recession due to falling house sales. But the National Housing Federation, which is pressing for a rent freeze, said that although tenants would only benefit by a small rent reduction of £1.36 a week the impact on housing associations could be critical.
Ruth Davison, NHF campaign director, said the formula linking rent payments to inflation was designed for positive inflation. Rents have never been cut in the history of social housing, even during the Great Depression and two world wars, she said. The decision to reduce rents at the same time as Gordon Brown has announced a £1.5 billion social housing programme is political ineptitude.
