This week's recipe is actually supposed to be called Milk Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes. However, that posed a small problem for me.
1) I don't own a mini bundt pan
2) I didn't have any milk chocolate
3) No corn syrup for the glaze
4) Things are tight right now, so pantry diving is becoming my specialty
I hate to miss a Tuesdays with Dorie. I love the group, the book is fantabulous, and Dorie? Well, she goes without saying :) So instead of skipping, I did a little subbing by using up some stuff I had on hand.
The recipe calls for 7 oz of good quality milk chocolate. I had some white chocolate chips and some peanut butter chips left over in the pantry. Combined, they weighed in at 6.8 oz. Close enough!
I also didn't have any whole milk. Now I know I could have used skim or 2%, but Dorie says in the "Playing Around" section that you can use buttermilk instead of the milk, just add an 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda to the dry ingredients. I had buttermilk, so that was perfect!
I also decided to leave out the nut swirl, as Dorie's notes said that was perfectly fine.
Everything else was on hand, but I didn't realize until after I made the batter that I probably should have doubled this to get a full size bundt cake. At this size, using the portions in the recipe, it took 32 minutes to bake.
So I ended up with half a bundt, a shorty cake if you will. Okay! So it looks more like a giant donut than a cake. Who cares?
When I made the glaze, instead of the corn syrup, I added in a tablespoon of unsalted butter. That didn't work to well, it thickened the glaze too much, so I added in some heavy cream and ended up with a thick ganache. I blobbed it on top and added some nonpareils. There's some magical about nonpareils that attracts children. So when my kids got home, naturally they devoured it!
This cake, even though it's a peanut butter white chocolate cake, instead of a milk chocolate cake, was fabulous! Very moist, tastes wonderful, and a perfect after dinner treat. It was very simple to make too, a definite keeper!
Oh, and I have to throw in a comment about the plate that this cake is resting on. See, I picked it up a thrift store for $4.00. Isn't it gorgeous? Problem is, I think it must have had a little dip cup or something that sat in the middle, as there's a "cup holder type indent" right in the middle of the plate. I kept thinking "what the heck am I going to put on this besides cookies or crackers? A cake will definitely sink in the middle…"
HA! Not a bundt! So, this is my new bundt cake plate. :)

I have started pantry diving myself. I did have everything on hand to make these according to the recipe though. Yours sounds (and looks!) really good. I will be posting later.
I can see why the kids devoured it, it look delicious!
That chocolate glaze is very tempting…….cake looks extremely drool worthy…..
Delicious! Love the icing….yum.
That looks good cake for a party, I like the wet look icing with colourful sprinkles. Bundts are very pretty.
So great! See, you invented a new dessert..the giant donut ;)
Also, that plate is perfect.
Great job with your "pantry diving" ~ love it!
Awesome, lil' bundt, big sister to the baby bundts I made! (I actually wouldn't have known it isn't the mamma if you'd have not pointed that out.)And all your pantry changes sound awesome. In a couple of my minis, I put cut up Reese's in the middle and those were the best ones, so I know pb would be great!
AND LOVE your plate. I really want to go shopping with you!
Amanda, your "shorty" cake is fabulous! So pretty even if it wasn't on such a lovely thrift-store plate with the indent in the center :)
I knew when I read the glaze it was not going to work. I proceeded anyway and it totally seized-up. Tossed it out and then, I added some shortening to fresh chocolate and gently microwaved until combined.
Wish I liked the cake better… mine was dry (very dry).
Nice visiting with you!
Kindly, ldh
meravigliosa e golosa questa torta!
I'm so impressed — it takes some imagination and confidence to be able to substitute so easily and successfully. Well done!
Love the plate…so pretty. And SPRINKLES…why didn't I think of sprinkles, it's always a party when you get sprinkles out. Very pretty.
I never get tired of the chocolate/peanut butter combo! That's so funny, I thought right away..This looks like a giant, scrumptious donut…then I read your post and you noted that same thought:) YUM!
i love it – a giant donut – that's WAY better than a full sized bundt!
Looks delicious Amanda and you are right about nonpariels… there is something magical about them. They always look so good to me and make most cookies and cakes irrestistable!!
your "shorty cake" looks fabulous!! And that plate is gorgeous! I can't believe it was 4 bucks! It looks like it could be from Tiffanys! Amazing!
A lovely ring of goodness.
Love the shorty cake.
I sure hope you have enough in your pantry for next weeks.
Que aspecto tiene tu bizcocho. Me copio tu receta. Tiene que estar estupenda. Un saludo desde España
Great substitutions! your cake looks awesome, the nonpareils are the perfect finish. Beautiful plate, what a steal!
We must call you Amazin' Amanda. Your substitutions seem to have created an even better bundt cake.
I would take bets that most of us go pantry diving. Actually, it is fun. We can be more creative.
Love your substitutions! Isn't it fun to use what you have, especially when it turns out wonderful. I will be making these yummy treats again, soon!
Cute cake! I oiled up a bundt pan and realised that I was not going to have enough batter to do a full bundt – so ended up having to wash up and extra pan. Love your new bundt cake plate :)
Ingeniuos all around! You are right about the nonpareils. Kids love them. I remember I did too. Now, I think they are horrible! Hard on the teeth. You did great with the subs. I think buttermilk was the way to go on this one. Lovely!
Brilliant substitions! I have never heard "pantry diving," too funny. All the baking ingredients really add up, don't they?
You have amazing thrift store luck, another great plate!
Your changes are AWESOME! Like, seriously. Seriously, seriously. I would eat that big donut in one fell swoop! You are pure brilliance! I need to learn pantry diving from you because I am horrible at it! And I love your new bundt cake plate!
Ciao Amanda ! This is wonderful ! The dish , the changes and how it came out !
Ciao Amanda ! My cooment disappeared I hope this is not the double ! Anyway I loved your cake and post !
A Eureka moment on the cake plate, Amanda. That is a really pretty plate. I love our goodwill shop this time of year. Eveyone, me included is cleaning out and getting rid of unwanted household items. Its a great score you have there. Plus you scored and winner with your kids too. They will be asking for that donut cake again, I would wager.
white chocolate and peanut butter – wow, great ideas to substitute some of the ingredients!
i will definitely re-do them and your ideas sound like I should try them!
Love the plate, and I love thrift store. The cake looks yummy!
Your giant "donut" looks great. I'm glad you were able to find enough stuff to substitute to bake with me this week! Thanks!
A shorty cake …ha-ha! Love it!

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I've been running Kubuntu Hardy on my laptop and desktop. I've frozen myself
at KDE 3.5. But some updates ruined Kubuntu on my laptop and I installed
Ubuntu 10.10 on the laptop. Because I like it so much, I've decided to
install Unbuntu 10.10 on my desktop. This has led to two questions.
1) During the install I am told that I have a partition called "dev/sdb1" in
ext3. I had no idea what that could be. So I aborted the install, and went
into Kubuntu to find out. dev/sdb1 was not mounted. But by
executing "fdisk -l" I got this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 1306 10490413+ 83 Linux
So I mounted it to see what it was. It's an empty directory
called "lost+found."
What is that there? What does lost+found do? Why do I need it?
2) During my laptop install I was given the choice of ext3 or ext4. Given my
level of expertise, I'd never heard of ext4. By Googling, I learned that
ext4 came out in 2008. So you can see where I'm at.
I didn't see any negative comments about ext4 so I used it. I'll have the
same choice when I install on my desktop. I assume that ext4 is the best
choice. Is that right?
Thank you.

The shanghai paddock is totally devoid of atmosphere thanks to misplaced artistic licence by the designers. Each team has an office on an individual island in a man-made lake on the site of a former marsh.
The area is known as a place of 'peace and meditation', a misnomer if ever there was one given the constant bitching and plotting going on behind closed doors.
Saying that, the McLaren office has been remarkably calm and serene -certainly compared to this time last year when Fernando Alonso punched an office door off its hinges as a demonstration of a perceived injustice by McLaren as he qualified fourth to Lewis Hamilton's pole.
Hamilton repeated the job this year but the atmosphere was very different as he and Heikki Kovalainen sat down after qualifying. Unlike his predecessor in the second McLaren, Kovalainen was very subdued, a
reflection of a disappointing fifth on the grid for which the Finn appeared willing to blame no one but himself.
Hamilton hid his disappointment well because Kovalainen not only failed to get among the Ferraris but he also allowed Alonso into fourth place; in some ways a more menacing presence for Hamilton than the Ferraris second and third on the grid.
Despite pretending that he couldn't care less, Alonso remains bitter over his year with McLaren and the fact that Hamilton was able – or allowed to by McLaren, if you listen to Alonso – to humble the twice world champion on a couple of occasions last year. Alonso has gone on record recently in saying
his deal was to be Number 1 whereas McLaren have always denied this and pursued their policy of being even-handed. It's a policy which gets short shrift from David Coulthard if you read his autobiography 'It is what it is'. But that's what McLaren say and it clearly niggles Alonso.
Which brings us to the start of this penultimate race of the 2009 season. Given half a chance, Alonso will put a wheel inside Hamilton's McLaren even, some suspect, if it means eliminating both cars.
Hamilton's start had better be good. Otherwise the island of peace and meditation will be anything but.

Data-mining is helping Rio Salado College predict online students' likely success and failure, reports the Chronicle of Higher Education. The Arizona community college is a pioneer in online education.
By the eighth day of class, Rio Salado College predicts with 70-percent accuracy whether a student will score a C or better in a course.
That's possible because a Web course can be like a classroom with a camera rigged over every desk. The learning software logs students' moves, leaving a rich "clickstream" for data sleuths to manipulate.
Running the algorithms, officials found clusters of behaviors that helped predict success. Did a student log in to the course homepage? View the syllabus? Open an assessment? When did she turn in an assignment? How does his behavior compare with that of previous students?
Instructors can see at a glance who's green (likely to complete the course with a C or better), yellow (at risk of not earning a C), and red (highly unlikely to earn a C). That makes it possible to offer extra help before it's too late.
The college is trying to intervene before the lights turn yellow or red.
For example, early data showed students in general-education courses who log in on Day 1 of class succeed 21 percent more often than those who don't. So Rio Salado blasted welcome e-mails to students the night before courses began, encouraging them to log in.
The next step is a widespread rollout of the color-coded alerts, one that will put the technology in the hands of many more professors and students. The hope, (physical sciences instructor Shannon) Corona says, is that a yellow signal might prompt students to say to themselves: "Gosh, I'm only spending five hours a week in this course. Obviously students who have taken this course before me and were successful were spending more time. So maybe I need to adjust my schedule."
In the future, colleges may ask students for an array of personal data in order to customize courses to fit each student's abilities, interests and personalities, says George Siemens, an analytics expert at Canada's Athabasca University.

Arizona Coyotes
'Yotes Notes: St. Louis leaves Phoenix feeling blue after game-changing second period
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a hockey game. So, we will give you 'Yotes Notes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Coyotes' 6-3 loss to the Blues on March 7.
The Good:
The Coyotes ended a near four-period goalless streak with some opportunistic stick-handling by Boyd Gordon towards the end of the first period. Despite the Coyotes playing a man down, Gordon stripped the puck from Alex Pietrangelo in the Blues' offensive zone and led David Moss down the ice for a beautiful breakaway goal.
Captain Shane Doan briefly put Phoenix on top 41 seconds into the second period, but the fun was pretty much over after that for the Coyotes.
With the game out of reach late in the third period, Keith Yandle scored the Coyotes' first power play goal after 10 straight scoreless attempts dating back to Saturday night's 5-4 shootout win over the Ducks. Yandle has Phoenix's last two power play goals.
The Bad:
Up 2-1 in the second period, the Coyotes gave away a perfect opportunity to beat a good team on home ice thanks to a bad five-minute stretch.
Mike Smith gave up a bad rebound that led to Patrik Berglund's game-tying goal at the 5:47 mark of the second period.
A little over two minutes later, Berglund tallied his second of the night after he was left alone for an uncontested backhander in front of the net.
The Blues scored their third goal of the period minutes later as Jaden Schwartz beat Kyle Chipchura to the puck behind Smith. Schwartz fed Scott Nichol, who put a one-timer past the Coyotes goaltender for his first goal of the season.
He Said It:
"They picked up their intensity and we didn't match it. I don't think there is one area of our game we can be happy about." - Shane Doan after Thursday's 6-3 loss
For the first time since coming to Phoenix, Mike Smith has given up at least four goals in four consecutive starts.
Patrik Berglund must like seeing the Coyotes. He now has five goals in his last five games against Phoenix.
Fourth-line forward Paul Bissonnette played in his 150th career game Thursday night.
St. Louis has won three straight games at Jobing.com Arena dating back to 2011-12.
Up Next:
The Coyotes host the Dallas Stars on Saturday night at Jobing.com Arena. The puck will drop at 7:00 p.m. MST.

Electrode biasing experiments under electrode current control were carried out in the Tohoku University Heliac and the Compact Helical System to examine the role of an ion viscosity on a transition to a high-confinement regime and to investigate the dependence of the ion viscosity on magnetic structure. Observations included (a) an increase of electron density, (b) an increase of electron stored energy, (c) a formation of the steep gradient of electron density, and (d) a formation of a negative electric field in both devices during electrode biasing negatively. The dependence of the ion viscosity normalized by the ion pressure on the poloidal Mach number qualitatively agreed with the neoclassical theory based on the Shaing model. This result supported the transition mechanism of the neoclassical theory based on ion viscosity, which advocates that the transition to a high-confinement mode is the bifurcation phenomenon resulting from the existence of local maximum in ion viscosity.

See Nursing in the United Kingdom for more information.
To practice lawfully as a registered nurse in the United Kingdom, the practitioner must hold a current and valid registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The title "registered nurse" can only be granted to those holding such registration, this protected title is laid down in the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act, 1997.
See state enrolled nurse for more information.
Second level nurse training is no longer provided, however they are still legally able to practice in the United Kingdom as a nurse. Many have now either retired or undertaken conversion courses to become first level nurses.
They split into several major groups:
Nonetheless, many nurses fill positions in the senior management structure of NHS organisations, some even as board members. Others choose to stay a little closer to their clinical roots by becoming clinical nurse managers or modern matrons
Midwifery training is similar in length and structure, but is sufficiently different that it is not considered a branch of nursing. There are shortened (18 month) programmes to allow nurses already qualified in the adult branch to hold dual registration as a nurse and a midwife. Shortened courses lasting 2 years also exist for graduates of other disciplines to train as nurses. This is achieved by more intense study and a shortening of the common foundation programme.
Student nurses currently receive a bursary from the government to support them during their nurse training. Diploma students in England receive a non-means-tested bursary of around £6000 per year (with additional allowances for mature students or those with dependent children), whereas degree students have their bursary means tested (and so often receive less). Degree students are, however, eligible for a proportion of the government's student loan, unlike diploma students. In Scotland, however, all student nurses regardless of which course they are undertaking, receive the same bursary in line with the English diploma amount. In Wales only the Degree level course is offered and all nursing students therefore receive a non-means-tested bursary.
Before Project 2000, nurse education was the responsibility of hospitals and was not based in universities; hence many nurses who qualified prior to these reforms do not hold an academic award.
After the point of initial registration, there is an expectation that all qualified nurses will continue to update their skills and knowledge. The Nursing and Midwifery Council insists on a minimum of 35 hours of education every three years, as part of its post registration education and practice (PREP) requirements.
There are also opportunities for many nurses to gain additional clinical skills after qualification. Cannulation, venepuncture, intravenous drug therapy and male catheterisation are the most common, although there are many others (such as advanced life support) which some nurses will undertake.
Many nurses who qualified with a diploma choose to upgrade their qualification to a degree by studying part time. Many nurses prefer this option to gaining a degree initially, as there is often an opportunity to study in a specialist field as a part of this upgrading. Financially, in England, it is also much more lucrative, as diploma students get the full bursary during their initial training, and employers often pay for the degree course as well as the nurse's salary.
In order to become specialist nurses (such as nurse consultants, nurse practitioners etc.) or nurse educators, some nurses undertake further training above bachelors degree level. Masters degrees exist in various healthcare related topics, and some nurses choose to study for PhDs or other higher academic awards. District nurses and health visitors are also considered specialist nurses, and in order to become such they must undertake specialist training (often in the form of a top up degree (see above) or post graduate diploma).
All newly qualifying district nurses and health visitors are trained to prescribe from the Nurse Prescribers' Formulary, a list of medications and dressings typically useful to those carrying out these roles. Many of these (and other) nurses will also undertake training in independent and supplementary prescribing, which allows them (as of May 1st 2006) to prescribe almost any drug in the British National Formulary. This has been the cause of a great deal of debate in both medical and nursing circles.
The scope of practice of registered nurses is the extent to and limits of which an RN may practice. In the United States, these limits are determined by a set of laws known as the Nurse Practice Act of the state or territory in which an RN is licensed. Each state has its own laws, rules, and regulations governing nursing care. Usually the making of such rules and regulations is delegated to a state board of nursing, which performs day-to-day administration of these rules, qualifies candidates for licensure, licenses nurses and nursing assistants, and makes decisions on nursing issues. It should be noted that in some states the terms "nurse" or "nursing" may only be used in conjunction with the practice of a Registered Nurse(RN)or licensed practical or vocational nurse (LPN/LVN).
The scope of practice for a registered nurse is wider than for an LPN/LVN because of the level and content of education as well as what the Nurse Practice Act says about the respective roles of each.
In the hospital setting, registered nurses are often assigned a role to delegate tasks performed by LPNs and unlicensed assistive personnel such as nursing assistants.
RNs are not limited to employment as bedside nurses. Registered nurses are employed by physicians, attorneys, insurance companies, private industry, school districts, ambulatory surgery centers, among others. Some registered nurses are independent consultants who work for themselves, while others work for large manufacturers or chemical companies. Research Nurses conduct or assist in the conduct of research or evaluation (outcome and process) in many areas such as biology, psychology, human development, and health care systems. The average salary for a staff RN in the United States in 2007 was over $60,000.
The American Nurses Credentialing Center, the credentialing arm of the American Nurses Association, is the largest nursing credentialing organization and administers more than 30 specialty examinations.
Other factors such as a high index of accountability, role-limited autonomy, and physical labor demanded of clinical positions are also seen as deterrents to those considering becoming a Registered Nurse. As well, many systems and practices in nursing are heavily oriented toward the social and gender patterns and practices of women, which can hinder consideration of nursing as a profession by men. Finally, the hierarchical nature of health care in the USA places physicians in a "power-over" position in relation to the status of Registered Nurses, limiting the services of the profession, despite the growing numbers of advanced practice nurses (APN) or extensive clinical and professional knowledge, skills, and abilities of nursing staff.

Hello to everyone! I'm sorry I haven't stopped by sooner to leave a comment. I hope everyone has had a chance to read at least one e-book to help celebrate Read An E-Book Week. This has been a bit of a hectic week for me, so I've not read as many e-books as I had hoped to. That's okay. The e-books are loaded on my Kindle for PC, so I'll read them as I get the chance. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Rathbun becomes first four-time pick; Cooper is first 3B pick in 14 years
Rathbun (top), and Cooper
SALEM, Va. -- Eastern Connecticut State University senior right-handed pitcher/designated player Molly Rathbun (Hebron) and junior third baseman Arielle Cooper (Mystic) have been named to the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association (NFCA) Division III All-America team.
Rathbun becomes the first member of the program to earn the honor each season of a four-year career while Cooper becomes the program's first third baseman to receive the honor since Michelle Cunningham was named to the second team in 1998.
Rathbun was named to the first team for the third straight year after gaining second-team accolades as a freshman. Cooper was honored for the first time in her career, earning a spot as the only third baseman on the second team. Rathbun was named as one of three At-Large picks to the first time. She was named at that position as a freshman before being voted as a pitcher as a sophomore and junior.
The first and second teams were comprised of 15 players each with the third team including 16 players. Only one program in New England had more than Eastern's two selections. No institution at any level in New England has had more than the Warriors' 21 first-team selections.
Last week, Rathbun was named to the All-New England Region first team for the fourth straight season while Cooper was selccted all-region for the second team, the first time to the first team.
Rathbun completed a record-shattering career this spring by winning a program-record 33 games against three losses with a program-record 339 strikeouts and just 39 walks and a 0.73 ERA in 212 1/3 innings. She won 29 straight decisions heading into NCAA regional play and ended up beating every team that she had a decision against at least once. In addition to strikeouts, innings and wins, Rathbun also set season marks this year for appearances (42) and starts (29). She threw two no-hitters and also a perfect game against regional champion Tufts University.
Cooper smashed the program record with a 33-game hitting streak, set season marks with 123 total bases, tied the 26-year-old mark with 69 hits, tied the season record with a .783 slugging average and led all players with a .439 batting average. which equals the fifth highest in a season in program history. She was named MVP of the LEC tournament with nine hits and seven assists in the field without an error.
The past season, Eastern won a program-record 44 games in 47 contests and was ranked No. 2 nationally and No. 1 in New England. Eastern reached the championship round of the regional tournament for the third straight season, losing for the first time after advancing to the national tournament in 2010 and 2011.
Three previous Eastern players have earned All-America selection three times: right-handed pitcher Christia Mohan (1987, 89-90), outfielder Leanne Shoop (1989-90 and '92) and utility player Lynn Rocheleau (1985, 88-89). Rathbun becomes the first three-time first-team selection, with Mohan and Shoop earning spots on the first team twice.
Eastern has had a total of 40 All-America selections (since 1982) in its history. The last time it had as many as two picks was 20 years ago, when second baseman Carrie Loring and Shoop were second-team picks.

We are happy to welcome our friend Billy Meyers (fellow Minnesotan) as guest poster today.
Still not sure what to get your friend living in China for Christmas this year? Just follow the handy gift giving guide below for ideas for the perfect gift:
1. Deodorant. Very early on when you first move to China, you discover a terrible truth: Chinese people don't wear deodorant. They have this spray on stuff that's supposed to be similar, but nothing beats the all-day protection of Degree or Speed Stick. Also, most Western medications like Advil or Peptal Bismol are expensive or hard to find here – and they make great stocking stuffers.
2. iPod Touch. For a lot of people the iPhone is too expensive, but the iPod Touch comes with all the same features (minus the phone part) for half the price. With all the language learning apps, Chinese dictionaries, and games to pass the time on the subway, the iPod Touch is the perfect gift for your friend in China. And if they already have one, an iTunes gift card is the gift that keeps on giving.
3. Subscription to language learning software. Your friend has been living in China over a year now now – and he still can't speak Chinese. Help him out by getting him a 1 month subscription to ChinesePod.com. Useful dialogues, challenging exercises, and helpful support makes this a great site for learning Chinese on the go. Now he'll have no more excuses.
4. Kindle. Living overseas comes with the painful reality of not being able to purchase many books. English language books are hard to find in China, and shipping them overseas is is slow and expensive. Not so with the Kindle. Most Kindle books are priced at $9.99, so they're cheaper than the physical version. And with WhisperSync technology, there's no shipping fees. Alternatively, a $25 Amazon gift card can buy almost 3 books, which can then be downloaded to the Kindle app on the iPod Touch.
5. A taste of home. One of the things that your friend in China misses the most during the holidays is the food. Maybe his grandma always made this delicious pumpkin pie, or maybe his mom always made sugar cookies shaped like Santa's reindeer. This Christmas, send him the recipe, plus all the key ingredients and utensils that might be hard to find overseas. He'll think about you while he's eating them.
6. VPN. Wondering why your friend hasn't responded to your Facebook message from six months ago? Still don't know why your friend replied with a sarcastic email when you sent him that hilarious YouTube link? Well, it's because those sites are blocked in China. Enter the VPN. VPNs allow your friend access the internet from a server outside of China, thus bypassing the GFW.
The Bankers love Freedur; (Update: The Bankers now use and recommend PureVPN as our VPN of choice) I (Billy) prefer Witopia. Either way, your friend will thank you by posting on your Facebook wall.
What'd I miss? What do you think would be the perfect gift for the foreigner living in China this Christmas?

I completely agree with this. I've had many waitressing jobs and even if I was having a bad day, I would always be nice to customers and make sure they had good service, as they were paying my wages. However, if I met one of the regular customers outside of work and they still expected me to wait on them hand and foot, I wouldn't be long telling them where to go. Does this make me a bad person? I think not and I think most people feel the same. In a work capacity, you have a duty to provide the best service to your clients/customers/fans but outside work, your clients/customers/fans should be expected to treat you with the same dignity and respect as any other human being. I don't agree with celebs being expected to be "in character" 24/7 but neither do I agree with celebs who expect to be treated like the sun shines out of their ar$e 24/7. There is a healthy balance to be found somewhere in between.
Anyhoo's, my only claim to fame is being an extra on a Daniel Craig movie about 13 years ago. It was well before he became super famous and I "worked" with him for four days and he couldn't have been nicer. Me and my friends were dead excited to be extra's in a movie and we were asking him, the director and other actors/staff all about how movies were made. They answered all our questions and didn't get moody/annoyed at all. They seemed more amused at our exuberance than anything else. The only one who seemed a bit stand-off-ish was one lady called Greta Scacchi who didn't speak to anyone but the staff and didn't want anyone taking her picture but maybe she's just not a big people person.

I rather suspect I've been invited to add my sixpenneth to this bubbling cauldron of controversy, on the grounds that I'm so conservative and established in my world of the quarter acre home garden (my pride and joy), that I will quite understandably create further controversy and passion which of course, is the stuff on which any media survives, 'Greenworld' very much included. Okay, that said, let's begin.
Plants could be eliminated from the contemporary landscape!
A power statement maybe, but let's face
it - how from the truth is it?
I refer of course, to the apparent
disappearance of a diverse range of
traditional greenlife from modern day home gardens, be they the ubiquitous courtyards, balcony gardens or whatever, plus the same trend now clearly evident in major public flower shows throughout the country. The trend was clearly evident in Brisbane at the recent National Horticulture on which I've had a bit to say elsewhere, at Melbourne's MIFGS and in New Zealand at Ellerslie and elsewhere.
The sterile, minimalistic, non-plant landscape fad
While there was some excellent greenlife on offer in Auckland at an industry trade day I attended, as is the case in Australia, the New Zealand industry too, is suffering
immeasurable damage from the sterile, minimalistic, non-plant landscape fad currently running rampant. Given full rein, this regrettable and totally lifeless 'fashion fad' in conjunction with 'pocket
handkerchief' housing allotments, has all the potential to entirely eliminate plants from the contemporary urban landscape.
What a sorry situation it is, but then in many ways nursery persons have only themselves to blame for failing to support major garden events such as MIFGS in Melbourne, and Ellerslie in Auckland. With the show gates open wide and empty sites to burn, this was all the catalyst needed to motivate the
anti-plant minimalists who were overjoyed to find their work elevated to the big media spotlight.
But of course there's a little more to it than that, for you've also got to look at changing consumer preferences. In that regard we've all heard repeated accounts of the so-called 'time-poor' 'yuppies' and 'dinks' who have buckets of disposable income but don't particularly relish the thought of getting a little dirt on their hands. After all, they don't want to soil the new Beamer by carting around 'dirty plants' do they?
But there's still more to it than that, for as Colin Boucher pointed out in his article,
plants are no longer the priority. Colin went on to say and I quote : "The general public perceives more value in the hard landscape element, so planting is not always the priority with landscapers.
"The other problem", he continued, "is the fact that the plants are last on the agenda ....landscapers generally have a warranty period within which they have to guarantee the project. This is also the reason why contractors are less likely to get too exotic on the plants because after all, it's the wholesale supplier who must replace his plants if they die!"
But what of the joy of the seasons?
Colin Boucher is quite right in his
explanation of the reasons why landscapers use such a limited palette of plants, for money speaks all languages and after all, it's the customer's money Ralph!
But let me close by saying in this obsessive age of Mondo Grass and yucca, tormented artefacts and tricks with mirrors, what is to become of the joy of the changing seasons? Where will the birds roost and sing their melodious songs, and what of the glory of the spring blossoms; the welcome shade of trees in summer; the vivid tints of autumn and the heavenly bare tracery of silver birches in winter gardens?Sure it will be easy to maintain, but will it have any soul? I rather think not! `

SINGAPORE (PRWEB) November 01, 2012
BankersAccuity today released a new industry perspective entitled "Lessons Learned in a Year of Increasing AML and Bribery Compliance Scrutiny and Enforcement." The report, part of BankersAccuity's ongoing Viewpoint series, examines important trends in anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-bribery corruption (ABC) compliance, reviews an increasingly stringent global regulatory landscape and offers key lessons in how firms can best demonstrate compliance through processes and technology.
In an era of enhanced regulatory scrutiny, larger fines and the ongoing internationalization of AML and ABC regulation, companies are faced with increased risk and greater challenges to achieving and maintaining compliance. During the past year, key events and developing trends have offered insight and important lessons for firms seeking to avoid participation in illicit financial transactions. At the same time high-profile enforcement actions following violations of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and other mandates have highlighted regulators' determination to heighten oversight and combat illicit activity.
"Corporations and financial institutions face a daunting task in effectively addressing the growing corruption and bribery risk they face," said Hugh Jones, President and CEO of BankersAccuity. "Yet, by gaining a better understanding of the entire compliance landscape and applying this to the data and technology systems they deploy, corporations and financial institutions alike can take great strides in winning the battle against money laundering, bribery and corruption."
As detailed in BankersAccuity's Viewpoint, lessons learned from the past year of AML and ABC regulatory activity and global trends include:
Reflecting on the lessons identified by BankersAccuity, Jones noted that technology can play a key role in ensuring anti-money laundering and anti-corruption compliance by automating and expanding screening and reporting. However, he adds, "regardless of the data and screening software that an institution has in place, there will always be potential for individuals internally to intentionally misuse the system." Concluding, Jones underlined that, "what's important is that firms take a holistic and committed approach to making compliance an active part of their culture and daily operations."

without fear of getting knocked out, I see Rashad opening up a lot in his strikes with this fight.
Rashad by TKO rd. 2
I love the poster... Who's that GSP guy in the co-main event? Lol
1 round eh?
Evans: Fight with Chael Sonnen likely for November
Evans, appearing as a guest on Alchemist Radio, said of the potential fight with Sonnen, "That fight is going to happen."
The former UFC light heavyweight champion added:
We're still talking about it, but it's definitely something the UFC wants. It's something that we want to do well. If it does happen it will happen on November 16th. Hopefully it'll be in the co-main event slot. I definitely think its co-main event worthy.
Boring fight.
I don't know with the way Sonnen pushes the pace and goes after his opponent this could be a damn good and exciting fight.
I think it really depends which Rashad Evans shows up for this fight. If we see the Rashad that showed up for the Noguiera or Henderson fight I could see Chael pushing the pace and scoring a decisive dec.
Nah as much as I don't like Sonnen the one thing I can't say is that I have seen him in a boring fight.
No disrespect but have you actually watched most of Sonnen's fights?????Quote:
i agree chael is one of the more exciting fighters in the history of MMA who uses a primarily wrestling based plan of attack.
I swear to God you are the only two people I have ever heard say the Chael's actual fighting style is exciting. As a matter of fact, nearly every MMA fighter ever to weigh in has basically stated that his schtick is derived as an attempt to overshadow his horribly boring fighting style (Vitor, Forrest, Rampage, Lombard, etc.).
Exciting wrestlers?
Dan Henderson
Not Chael Sonnen.

Students join Saybrook's Social Transformation Concentration because they want to make a difference in the world: now Saybrook can offer them an opportunity to help reform government while they study.
This month Saybrook, the global leader in humanistic education and thought, has announced an agreement with Public Citizen, one of America's leading consumer advocacy organizations.
Dr. Craig Holman, Public Citizen's Legislative Representative and an ethics consultant for the Obama Administration, has agreed to take on interns from Saybrook for his office.
"I research and manage issues in lobbying, campaign finance, and government ethics, so an intern for me would do work in these areas," Holman said. "That sort of research invariably is used to make policy recommendations. Hopefully, we'll have Saybrook students helping improve our understanding of these issues in a way that will impact the way government operates."
Saybrook announces agreement with TRANSCEND Peace University02/23/2009
Saybrook students now have the opportunity to learn with some of the world's leading scholar-practitioners in peace and development.
In an agreement signed February 3, Saybrook will incorporate into its Social Transformation Concentration curriculum two online courses developed for TRANSCEND Peace University (TPU). Based in Austria, TPU draws faculty from among the leading peace scholars and practitioners in their fields internationally. It is the educational arm of the TRANSCEND Network –connecting 350 individuals and institutions from 80 countries working to reduce structural violence through action, education, dissemination, and research. The two courses, which will be available to all Saybrook students, are Peaceful Conflict Transformation – the Transcend Method, taught by Drs. Johan Galtung and Sara Horowitz, and The Human Right to Adequate Food, taught by Dr. George Kent.
"This is an extraordinary opportunity for Saybrook students to explore the cutting edge of conflict transformation and global social justice issues with stellar faculty who have world-wide reputations in their areas of expertise," said Joel Federman, who directs Saybrook's Social Transformation Concentration.
Learn to life coach, and make changes that last02/23/2009
One of the basic tenants of Mind-Body Medicine is that doctors can't do it all: people get healthier if they take an active role in their own health.
For many people, that means seeing a Mind-Body specialist, but many others are looking to life coaches to help them make lasting lifestyle changes.
"With health care costs spiraling out of control and a rapidly deteriorating level of public health the need for wellness coaching has grown dramatically in recent years," said Saybrook psychology alumna and professional life coach Dr. Lisa Mastain. "Corporations, hospitals, treatment centers, health clubs, and independent consumers are seeing the benefits of investing in health and wellness coaching."
Now Mastain, in collaboration with Saybrook's Integrative Health Studies program, has developed a class for Saybrook students on life coaching for health and wellness (IHS 4110: Health and Wellness Coaching). It will also be offered as part of Saybrook's new degree in Mind-Body Medicine.
A crucial insight in life coaching, as in Mind-Body Medicine, Mastain said, is that "better health information is not enough." People need help making that information meaningful to them, and then acting on it. Life coaching can be one of the most effective ways that someone can make and maintain lasting lifestyle changes.
Alumni Support Saybrook's Golden Heritage02/23/2009
by George Aiken
For the Saybrook Alumni Association, supporting Saybrook's long standing tradition of humanistic thought and education is of primary importance. We believe that our humanistic roots are critical to Saybrook's role as a viable, important, and necessary educational institution in the world today.
Over the past year, we have worked to create new ways to support Saybrook's educational ideals through several venues, including: the Quarterly Alumni Newsletter the HOMEPAGE, which features the accomplishments of faculty and alumni in the hope that the wider Saybrook community will be encouraged to continue the traditions that fostered these successes; the monthly, alumni, HOMEPAGE UPDATE lists current scholarly and vocational opportunities, and announces events relevant to the continued education of our alumni; the newly revised alumni blog, Provocative Discourse, where alumni can discuss issues relevant to their own life and work, and the health and well being of Saybrook and its ideals; and finally, a new alumni webcast, The Alumni Community Gathering: Keeping Up with Saybrook, A Monthly Informational Forum, where alumni discuss topics relevant to their careers and to Saybrook's mission. It is the Alumni Association's hope that these efforts will contribute in some small way to a long and healthy future at Saybrook.
These new approaches for keeping the alumni community connected have been successful because alumni are passionate about the traditions and heritage that have transformed their personal and professional lives. Saybrook alumni hope to see these traditions continue to enrich the lives of students, alumni, and the community at large for many years to come.
Saybrook graduates have the write stuff02/09/2009
Saybrook doesn't have its own press – and it doesn't need one. Its graduates and faculty are busy publishing in everything from the mainstream press to academic journals.
"During Alumni Homecoming at the June 2008 Residential Conference, no less than six, long cafeteria tables were required to display Saybrook's Alumni publications," says George Aiken, Saybrook's Alumni Director, who keeps track of the ever expanding roster of books and articles by members of the Saybrook community. "At this year's Alumni Homecoming, during the 2009 June Residential Conference, the Alumni Book Display should be no less than 50% greater in size than last year."
Highlights from 2008 include Alumnus and Faculty member Kirk Schneider's guide to therapeutic practice, Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy, and Alumnus Father Brian Kolodiejchuck's explication of the private writing's of the Saint of Calcutta, Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light, which received international attention and acclaim.
For additional publications to come out of the Saybrook community in recent years follow the link below. A full list of publications can be found on Saybrook's Alumni home page.
"If you're a community member and you don't see your works listed," Aiken says, "please send me the information. Include your name, degree, year of graduation; the title(s) of your publication(s); and the publisher and year published." It's a Sisyphean task to keep track of everything the Saybrook community creates, Aiken says, but unlike Sisyphus, this is a labor of love.

Could Saybrook be "The Last University?"01/26/2009
Academia may not have a future, according to Stanley Fish.
Fish, a distinguished academic and New York Times blogger, wrote an article last week that landed like a bomb in every faculty lounge in America.
Soon, Fish said, there will no longer be a place for teachers who want to enliven their students' minds rather than cramming them full of job-related skills.
We all know that American academia has become dominated by big money, big corporate partnerships, and an assembly-line mentality that treats students as "customers" rather than agents of learning. But we've all assumed this was an aberration – and that at some point we'd right this ship of fools.
But Fish, reviewing the book The Last Professor by Frank Donoghue, says those days are never coming back: the academy, as a place to nurture the mind, is dying out and won't return.
Saybrook and LIOS, step II01/26/2009
As the first class of LIOS/Saybrook students – 41 in all – is getting to work learning how to change the world, the opportunities of each institution are now being presented to each other.
LIOS, which offers Master's degrees, is reporting a strong interest among its students in Saybrook's PhD programs, while Saybrook has now added LIOS' degree in Systems Counseling to its roster of Psychology programs, and its degree in Organization to its Organizational Systems program.
There were any number of practical reasons for the two organizations to come together –LIOS needed a new accrediting affiliation, Saybrook had just begun planning a full university structure – but what really made the connection possible, and the implementation so smooth, are deeply held, deeply compatible, philosophical visions not shared by every graduate school. In fact, as LIOS president Shelly Drogin noted recently in Linkage, the LIOS newsletter, Saybrook was one of LIOS' first choices for affiliation the last time it needed one, in the 1980s. The fact that this time, LIOS was looking for affiliation at the same time that Saybrook was expanding to a university was, as Drogin calls it, "synchronicity at play."
"Saybrook Dialogues" to commence this spring01/26/2009
Too often, discussions that the world should be having take place only in the classroom.
As part of its mission to both foster community and reach out to the world around it, Saybrook is pleased to announce a new series, "Saybrook Dialogues," beginning in March.
Held at Saybrook's San Francisco offices, the first dialogues in the series will focus on the topic of "Leadership, Wisdom, and Making a Difference."
Organizer Marc Lesser, the founder and president of coaching and facilitation company ZBA Associates and the former director of Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, will focus the conversations on making meaning of our personal and professional lives during uncertain and challenging times.
The Saybrook Dialogues are free, but a $25 donation is requested from those who can give. More information will be forthcoming. To RSVP please contact Terry Hopper at: 415-394-5220.

Teachers march from Beirut's Hamra to the Grand Serail to protest over the government's failure to refer to Parliament a long-awaited salary raise on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013. (The Daily Star/ Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Hundreds of teachers and public sector employees went on strike again Wednesday and held a protest over the government's failure to refer to Parliament a long-awaited salary raise.
Protesters gathered outside the Information Ministry building on Beirut's Hamra's main road and marched to the Grand Serail in the city center in response to a call by the Union Coordination Committee.
Speaking from outside the Grand Serail, Nehme Mahfoud, who heads the private schools teachers association, slammed Prime Minister Najib Mikati accusing him of being unfair in failing to meet the teachers' demands.
"You are to blame, Najib Mikati. You and your government," said Mahfoud.
"You can only be fair Mr. President, governments who are unfair will eventually be brought down," he added.
Mahfoud also threatened an open-ended strike in February if the government continued to ignore its demands.
"You have until the end of this month to refer the salary increase to Parliament, or else all teachers will take down the streets early February and won't leave until their demands are met," said Mahfoud.
The head of the Secondary Schools Teachers Association Hanna Gharib also expressed hope Wednesday that President Michel Sleiman would be part of the solution to the teachers' problem.
"I hope President Sleiman will interfere to refer the wages scale to Parliament in accordance with the deal reached with Mikati and the ministerial committee earlier," said Gharib.
Gharib also held the government responsible for the strikes because it has failed to fulfill its promises to the teachers.
"The government is responsible for every day of strike we hold," said Gharib. "It has been promising the same thing for the past year and a half."
Earlier Wednesday, Gharib told the Voice of Lebanon radio station that the government has failed in its obligations to provide a decent life for citizens, accusing it once again of ignoring the UCC demands.
"The policy of the government is to steer itself clear of its obligations to provide a good livelihood to citizens," said Gharib.
The unions have held several strikes this academic year over the same issue and said they are frustrated by the government dragging its feet.
The government approved the draft law to increase salaries for public sector employees and teachers at private and public schools in September but did not refer it to Parliament.
The Cabinet has said it is trying to secure means to finance the cost of the raise before referring the proposal to Parliament.
Mikati has repeatedly said that the increase in salaries will be pending until the Cabinet secures funding for it, arguing that strikes lead nowhere and that the UCC problems can be solved through calm measures and responsible dialogue.

text: GamesBeat Spy vs. Spy to return in a new game? March 26, 2012 10:05 AM Dan "Shoe" Hsu 0 Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. This morning, we woke up to a strange, almost spam-like email. Subject: A Mysterious Monday Morning Email Arrives … And Is It Ticking? It May Be Ticking. Body: Good morning! I found something over the weekend. It's certainly mysterious, wouldn't you say? It looks like an [intellectual property] of some kind is returning from a long time away, though it may just be a simple black or white issue. I'm sure there'll be lots of zany action to follow. Definitely something to ponder. Attached is the image you see above. It looks like WB Games will be bringing out a remake of First Star Software's Spy vs. Spy, which debuted in 1984 on a variety of computer systems (including the Commodore 64) and was later ported to several other platforms (like the Nintendo Entertainment System). Many sequels have come out, even as recently as 2005 on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PCs. But none have ever captured cult-hit status like the first one did. The original game saw Mad Magazine's comic-strip stars (Black Spy and White Spy) facing off in a six-room mansion. Each wanted to find the hidden items that would allow him to leave the building (and win the game), but they could set zany traps to roadblock the other. Obviously, we don't know much about this remake yet, but we've got some inquiries in and will update this post with any new details. Update: No new details. The publisher's staying mum on the subject at the moment. Above: The original Spy vs. Spy from 1984. Image courtesy of The Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Critical emails written by the former right-hand of the superintendent have reignited questions about the Okaloosa County School District.
The latest chapter began after Kaye McKinley, who was recently demoted to an assistant superintendent, exchanged emails with her former boss Senate President Don Gaetz.
She wrote him last month from her personal email about the district receiving a $2.5 million grant to expand its science, technology, engineering and math offerings.
"I am sharing this with you to show you that although our school system has declined over the last few years, there is still hope that initiatives such as this will once again make us a model for the nation," McKinley wrote.
In another email, she told Gaetz she would be looking for work elsewhere because she didn't agree with Superintendent Mary Beth Jackson and the vision for the district.
McKinley rose in district ranks during Gaetz's 6-year term as superintendent. She was promoted to deputy superintendent under former Superintendent Alexis Tibbetts. She held that title and was Jackson's chief of staff until last month when she was demoted to an assistant superintendent.
Jackson acknowledged she'd seen the emails, but declined to comment on the exchange. She did say McKinley's recent title change had nothing to do with the emails.
"It's nothing new; Ms. McKinley has known about this for months," Jackson said. "She came in as a deputy superintendent and did a great job."
The change was part of a new approach aimed to "equalize" the district and it included switching the duties of some administrators, she said.
McKinley declined to comment for the story, but Gaetz said he took McKinley's concerns seriously.
"I consider her one of the top educational leaders in our state," Gaetz said.
Anytime someone who is a "star player" feels the need to leave, he said, leaders should ask themselves if something is wrong.
Since the start of the summer, Gaetz and Jackson have gone back and forth on the state of the district. Jackson has held firm it's No. 1, while Gaetz maintains the statistics show it's slipping.
"My hope is these problems can be worked out," Gaetz said.

Pierson High School celebrated homecoming over the weekend with a full schedule of games and success across many different playing fields.
The school's boys soccer team continued its streak of unbeaten play in League VIII, improving to 4-0 atop the league standings with a 5-0 win over Greenport on Friday. Cameron Burton scored twice for the Whalers and Jack Fitzpatrick had a goal and two assists.
Two days earlier, on September 17, Pierson beat Port Jefferson, 4-1, for the first time in four years behind two goals and two assists from Fitzpatrick, a senior who is once again leading the offensive attack for the Whalers, the undefeated league champions from a season ago.
"We've been both fortunate and the team is improving," head coach Peter Solow said this week. "And there has been much more intensity recently."
Solow said Fitzpatrick has "the capacity to take a game over" and that his speed, along with that of fellow senior Johnny Chisholm, is hard for most teams to contend with. Solow also praised the play of sophomore Chase Zimmerman, who in his first year as goalie made eight saves against Greenport to post a shutout on homecoming weekend.
"He's the most courageous guy we have on our team," Solow said of Zimmerman, who stepped up in the preseason after the presumed starting goalie decided to play another sport. "We were desperate and I asked him to go in goal. He has the potential over time to become a tremendous goalie."
Jesus Padilla scored goals against Port Jeff and Greenport, while Charlie Pintado added a goal against Port Jeff and Chisholm against Greenport.
Pierson will travel for a re-match with Greenport on Monday under the lights at 6:15 p.m. A date with second-place Smithtown Christian is scheduled for Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. in Mashashimuet Park.
"The next three games will tell a lot about how we're going to be this year," Solow said on Monday. "We have to go out every game with intensity, work hard and do the best we can. "
Up and Down Week for Field Hockey
The Lady Whalers field hockey team posted a 1-2 record over the last week, with a homecoming weekend win over Hampton Bays as a highlight on Saturday.
Sophomore phenom Ana Sherwood scored five goals and had two assists to lead Pierson in a 8-0 romp over the Lady Baymen. Cali Cafiero had two goals and Hollie Schleicher had one.
The offensive explosion was welcome after a 1-0 loss to Shoreham-Wading River three days earlier on September 17. Shoreham's Emily DeGenarro is one of the best goalies on Long Island, according to Pierson coach Shannon Judge, and made 10 saves in the game, which Pierson played once again without senior defender Rachel Miller, who has been out sick but returned to the lineup on Saturday.
"It was definitely an evenly matched game," Judge said about facing Shoreham. "Their goalie was excellent and came up with two huge saves within the last three minutes of play which could have been goals."
Pierson (3-3) also lost to Sayville on Monday by a score of 3-1, which dropped the team's overall record to 3-3, good for ninth place in Division III with 96.870 power points. The Lady Whalers play at Babylon, a fellow Class C school, this Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. The game is a crucial one since only the top three schools out of five from Class C will advance to the postseason.
"Generally speaking, we are playing well, but are very young," Judge said. "We just need a little more time to find our ebb and flow."
East Hampton Tennis Beats Rival
The East Hampton girls tennis team, which features players from Pierson and Bridgehampton, avenged a loss from earlier this season with a 4-3 win over Westhampton at home on Saturday, which was also part of homecoming weekend at East Hampton High School.
Pierson's Isabel Peters and Cece Combemale won at second and fourth singles, respectively, with dominant straight-set wins as the Lady Bonackers took three out of the four singles matches. Harriet DeGroot, from Bridgehampton, and Pierson's Lily Kot also cruised in their match, winning 6-1, 6-1 at first doubles to clinch the win for East Hampton, which also beat McGann Mercy this week to improve to 3-3 in League VII play.
The Lady Bonackers will host Miller Place on Monday at 4 p.m.
Surprising Result for Girls Swimming
The East Hampton girls swim team, which includes a handful of students from Pierson, picked up a surprising win over visiting Smithtown on Friday, winning 92-76 in front of a capacity crowd at the YMCA aquatic center.
"After just four weeks of training, the girls are quickly improving their times," head coach Craig Brierley said. "They are beginning to realize that their hard work is paying off."
The team will host two consecutive League II meets at the YMCA, starting with Harborfields on Wednesday, October 1, at 5 p.m., to be followed by a meet with Huntington on October 7, also at 5 p.m.
Whalers Golf Bounces Back With Win
After falling to perennial League VII powerhouse Southampton last Thursday, September 18, the Pierson golf team bounced back with an 8-1 win over Westhampton at the Noyac Golf Club on Monday afternoon and a huge win over East Hampton on Tuesday, the first over the Bonackers since 2012.
Ben Kushner dropped his match in the number-one spot against Westhampton, shooting a 49 compared to the 48 from Bobby Joyce of Westhampton. Pierson golfers dominated the remaining matches, with Charles Canavan (43), Matt Burke (47) and Jack Brown (42) winning in the next three spots. Freshman Tyler LaBorne shot a team-best 41 to win his match in the fifth spot, while Greg Baum (52) and Theo Gray (56) won matches as well. As a team, Pierson outshot Westhampton 222-250.
Canavan (42), Kushner (41), Burke (43) all picked up points and LaBorne (51) halved his match against East Hampton. As a team, the Whalers narrowly edged the Bonackers 223-224 and improved their overall record to 4-1 overall
The Whalers will face Westhampton again on Tuesday, this time at the Westhampton Country Club, at 3:30 p.m.
Girls Soccer Drops a Pair
The Pierson-Bridgehampton girls soccer team dropped two games over the last week, including a 3-0 loss to Southold at home on Saturday as part of the school's homecoming festivities. Earlier in the week, on Thursday, September 18, the Lady Whalers (0-4, League VII) fell to Mattituck on the road by a score of 4-1.
Next up is a game at Stony Brook on Monday at 4:30 p.m. , with a home game against Port Jefferson scheduled for Wednesday, October 1, at 4:30 p.m.
Volleyball Showdown at Ross on Monday
The Pierson-Bridgehampton girls volleyball team also dropped a pair of matches this week, losing in straight sets to both Stony Brook on Friday, September 19, and Port Jefferson on Monday. The Lady Whalers dropped to 1-4 in the League VIII standings.
The Lady Whalers will have an opportunity to get back into the winning column when they play at the winless Ross School on Monday at 4 p.m.

What form did the first human language take? According to some linguists, all known languages descend from a proto-language, perhaps dating back to the first behaviourally modern humans 50,000 years ago. But little else is known about how our ancestors spoke.
Now two maverick linguists say they have clues. Merritt Ruhlen of Stanford University in California, and Murray Gell-Mann, at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico created a family tree for 2200 languages, living and dead, based on how they use similar sounds for the same meanings. Most modern languages use subject-verb-object sentences: "I see the dog", while most dead ones, such as Latin, go subject-object-verb – "I the dog see".
On Ruhlen and Gell-Mann's tree, subject-verb-object languages always descend from subject-object-verb languages, but never the other way around. "This tells us that the putative ancestral language had subject-object-verb word order," says Ruhlen. However, mainstream linguists are dubious about the tree's validity.
