Respond to Review of Green New American Vegetarian
by iTom
Review: We went after hiking and it was so good,we went back the next night! Buffalo "wings" are excellent, as was the "pepper steak" sandwich. My wife really enjoyed here noodle bowl. Excellent soft serve soy ice cream for dessert, and they will mix it with fruit, etc. The restaurant has a good vibe and seems to be a gathering place for the socially aware. Friendly service. Highly recommended!

Reach tens of thousands of people instantly by advertising with Ekklesia. Find out more
The election of Argentinian Cardinal-Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ, to be Pope Francis I is historic in four senses. The new pontiff is the first non-European to be Bishop of Rome for a millennium, the first Jesuit, the first from Latin America, and the first with deep origins in the industrial working class.
Unsurprisingly, the Jesuits are celebrating tonight that one of their own has become the first member of the Society of Jesus to be elected pope in the history of the Catholic Church.
The man who will be the next leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics is Jorge Mario Bergoglio SJ, Cardinal-Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
As black smoke continued to rise above the Sistine Chapel earlier today, and as speculation bubbled in inverse proportion to the amount of information coming out of the Vatican about the papal conclave (that is, given the secrecy surrounding it, virtually none), journalists were faced with the task of finding something to do to 'keep the story alive'.
This morning the 115 cardinals begin their period in conclave, where they will choose the next pontiff of the 1.2 billion strong Roman Catholic Church, by celebrating Mass before beginning their deliberations in the Sistine Chapel.
But who are the men who will seek a common mind on the new leader of the largest Christian communion in the world?
BBC Newsnight finally offered a different perspective on the Catholic Church on the eve of the conclave to choose the next pope (11 March 2013), profiling a remarkable and inspirational Mexican bishop.
The Conclave of the College of Cardinals starts in earnest this week, when the Master of the Papal Liturgical Celebrations, Monsignor Guido Marini, will solemnly announce extra omnes - or the "outside, all" - and the 115 cardinals will find themselves alone in the Sistine chapel alongside their faith, consciences and beliefs. Dr Harry Hagopian, an Armenian Orthodox Christian and Ekklesia associate who advises the Catholic Church in England and Wales on Middle East and interfaith issues, gives his assessment of what is at stake in the choice that is about to be made.
The BBC says it has seen evidence that Scottish Catholic bishops knew about 20 allegations of child sex abuse by priests between 1985 and 1995.
The conclave to elect the next Pope has been announced as beginning on Tuesday 12 March 2013, ending much speculation since the cardinals gathered.
A leading Scottish Catholic academic, commentator and Vatican adviser says the Cardinal O'Brien affair provides an opportunity for the Church to reform itself.

If you find Cliff's Edge (which will be pretty easy since you'll find the address at the bottom of this post) consider yourself lucky. This little gem is kind of tucked away behind a 99 Cent store, in a section of West Sunset that doesn't scream "AMAZING RESTAURANTS RIGHT HERE!"
Cliff's Edge is a total oasis. Apart from the food (which we'll get to) the atmosphere and the service are both excellent. Outside you'll feel as though you've plonked down in some resort in Africa – there's a fire pit, torches, floral cushioned couches and fairy lights all placed surrounding the centre-piece; a gorgeous, old, fairytale tree. Suffice to say, it's pretty.
But then there's the food. Everything is good. Seriously. But we recommend trying the smoked trout rillettes, salmon ceviche, brussels sprouts, candy beets… Just get one of everything if you can.
The cocktails are also excellent and extremely well priced at about $10 a pop.
Cliff's Edge is at 3626 West Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles.

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

On Jan 23 through may, Splash Moutain will be down does anyone know whats going to be added/replaced?
It is just going to get a new shine like it needs really badly.
The earth is round.... or so i've found.
"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. "Groucho Marx
They are replacing all of A and B lift and the lower half of c lift. the top half of C lift was replaced last rehab the other lifts and the lower half of c have never been replaced in 17 years. They will also clean up the mountain and Animation.
winnie the pooh expansion.
they are adding a loop.....
Oh, and adding rabid, live animals to kill the rude guests who don't believe in the magic that is Disney!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
Refurb all of Critter Country while you're at it!
Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it the four beers you had at DCA, hmmm?
they are adding pooh, a loop, and... a rockin' sound track!
What I don't understand is that every other time I go on the ride, I get soaked from head to toe, but every time in between that, I stay completely dry...just a random thought on Splash Mountain. I seldom ride it, but it is one of my favorites in the park.
wetness is usually enhanced when its warm out, and de-hanced but passable when its colder out.
i didn't get wet on it at all much for the longest time, but the last 2 times i went on it at night i got soaked... one of them i went on twice in a row without even getting off the log and the 2nd time got me pretty darn wet, the other time I just got submerged under a 6' wave washing over the front of hte log, and got quite a few CM comments getting off the ride even.
That reminds me of the marathon of GRR, one morning. I rode it 8 or so times, and never got wet. The water rides are practically a guessing game in terms of wetness.

We're so close to new episodes of The Office we can hardly contain ourselves. The last month and half has been painful, and like desperate drug addicts who needed a fix, we've used whatever we could find on the internet to tide us over. Deleted scenes, mash-ups, MySpace blogs, games, interviews– it didn't matter; we were desperate. Thankfully, we're almost there. Whew. But if for some reason you don't think you'll be able to make it till tomorrow's oversized episode, here's one last fix; an interview with Mindy Kaling, a.k.a. Ryan's girl Kelly. Check it out to learn more about the cutest female Indian character on TV (not named Sanjaya), Scranton, and what it's like to work at The Office. We particularly liked her idea on how to keep Dunder Mifflin around even if some of our favorite characters moved on:
My dream is that when Steve leaves the show, we could have Amy Poehler come on as the boss. I think Amy's flawless. I have this fantasy that we'll get this female boss, and at the beginning, she'll seem totally normal and what a relief, and then we'll find out that there's lots of different horrible, crazy kinds of bosses. Or Kathy Bates or something. How funny would that be?
Poehler or Bates? We're in. Check out the full interview here.

Help installing Nvidia 173.14.09 Driver
I have only been into PC-BSD for a few hours and still stumbling around in the dark.
I notice that games are very slow and jerky - unplayable. One of them said that 3d acceleration was not enabled.
I downloaded the driver named above for my Nvidia GS-7300 Video Card but the documentation about how to install it is way over my head. I have no idea how to go about extracting the file to a temporary location of my choice, and then running the following from the root of the extracted directory hierarchy: % make install
Any help regarding what to click on and so forth would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Re: Help installing Nvidia 173.14.09 Driver
Hi there archp2008.
In your case , I would highly recommend you to visit the PC-BSD forums, which not only have a really positive attitude towards their users base, but are also quite helpful.
The PC-BSD Forum is extremly complete and chock full of active members. Whereas this one seems rather dead .. :(
You can find the PC-BSD Forum in here:
Browse the different categories and pay special attention to "Guides" and "Graphics Cards"
"Graphics Cards"
You _will_ find what you are looking for in there ;)

Re: Help installing Nvidia 173.14.09 Driver

Cabbage looper
|Cabbage looper
|Scientific classification
|T. ni
|Binomial name
|Trichoplusia ni
(Hübner, 1800–1803)
The cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni) is a member of the moth family Noctuidae. It is found throughout the southern Palaearctic ecozone, all of North America, parts of Africa and most of the Oriental, parts of Europe (primarily South Europe) and Indo-Australian region.[1] In the United Kingdom, where the adult is primarily a (sometimes numerous) immigrant but breeding is rare, the species is also known as the Ni Moth.[2] The name derives from the forewing marking, which resembles the lowercase Greek letter ni.
The caterpillar, a measuring worm, is smooth and pale green with white stripes and is one of a many species called cabbage worm. It is called a "looper" because it arches its body as it crawls, inchworm-style. This species is very destructive to plants due to its voracious consumption of leaves. It is not restricted to cole crops; other plant hosts include tomato, cucumber, collard greens, and potato.[1][3][4] The adult of the species is a nocturnal brown moth.
Technical Description and variation[edit]
- See glossary for terms used
Forewing grey suffused with olive brownish and dusted with black atoms; lines black, double, filled in with pale lustrous scales; the inner forming two small curves between median vein and vein 1, with some lustrous scales before it; the outer irregularly crenulate, nearly straight, followed by a pale grey band; subterminal line followed by lustrous scaling and preceded by black sagittate marks; a straight pale line before termen followed by a double lunulate line; fringe chequered brown and grey, with dark lunules at base beyond a white line;orbicular stigma narrow, oblique, edged with lustrous; reniform obscure, dark-edged; median area just below median vein dark brown, containing a broad gamma-shaped mark, the top of which is bell-shaped with ochreous centre, black edged, and outlined in silvery, attached to an oval silvery tail, sometimes also centred with ochreous; hindwing dull brownish, with dark veins and broad smoky blackish terminal border; the fringe white ; in the ab. comma Schultz the stigma below middle forms a y-mark..
Larva yellow green ; dorsalline dark, double; subdorsal lines slender; lateral line white, with dark upper edge; spiracles reddish yellow;tubercles black.[5]
Molecular biology[edit]
Trichoplusia ni is also used as an expression system in the field of molecular biology. High Five cells from Trichoplusia ni are one of the most commonly used cell lines in eukaryotic protein expression.

I respectfully disagree about the Betty Edwards book. I think she means well, but you would do better to study Bridgman, Bridgman, Bridgman until it comes out of your ears. This is the book that will teach you the figure so that when you sit in front of a nude, you'll know what to do. Trust me, I've been down that road with Betty Edwards. It's a cute experiment if you want to waste time, but it doesn't teach you a thing about drawing.
It looks like you're off to a good start. Keep it going!
Thinking connects desire with creation.

What's Wrong With Excel's Stacked Column Chart This is my 2nd post on BP Oil Statistical Review of World Energy – June 2008, post 1 is here. In this post, I discuss Excel's stacked column charts, using BP's Regional Consumption Pattern 2007 as an example. First, the good news. While I'm not sure what chart package BP used, this chart looks a lot like an Excel stacked column chart with some color, Y axis position and label enhancements. The bad news is that BP used a stacked column chart which is the Excel way of showing three variables on a 2D display. In this case, the variables are: Region of World, Fuel type and percent of energy use by fuel in that region. It is difficult to interpret the values for the internal fuels on the stacked column chart because they do not have a common baseline. Here's the same data in an R Lattice chart. To me, the R Lattice – trellis chart helps me to see the patterns more clearly than the stacked column chart. Notice how Asia Pacific use of coal sticks out! S & C America have the largest portion of hydroelectric use. Natural gas is used widely, with Middle East having the greatest portion. Nuclear is relatively small, with Europe leading and N America close behind. Finally, look at oil use, Middle East is greatest user, followed by S & C America and Africa. Could you see these details in BP's stacked column chart? Why Are Excel Chart Users Still Using Excel for Multivariate Charts If R is so good and free, then why are Excel charters still using Excel for multivariate charts? For me, there are two reasons:
- At first, I didn't know any better. I knew about small multiples from Tufte's writings, however, I didn't know there was a free tool that could do trellis – lattice type small multiples.
- R Learning Curve – Naomi Robbins book, Creating More Effective Graphs, introduced me to R. I got excited about R's capabilities, however, I found the learning curve daunting. It was easier to slip back into comfortable Excel charts rather than learn a new – better way to make charts.
R Lattice Flexibility In a comment to this post, Tony said " .. I typically like to see all of the charts either in a row or column so it's easier to compare." Here the lattice plot the way Tony prefers. The original 2 x 3 matrix was the default. by adding a simple layout control, I changed it to a 1x 6 display.
Update Hadley Wickham, an R heavyweight (that's a good thing), suggested in his comment that ".. you might also want to use the reorder function to reorder the factor levels in terms of the highest use". Since it sounded like a good idea from a really experienced R programmer, I decided to give it a try. Here's my revised chart based on Hadley's suggested reorder of both the fuel and region factors.
I like it! The fuel panels are now sorted by median percent energy use, with nuclear the lowest and oil the highest. The regions are sorted by magnitude of oil use, with Africa at low end and N America at high end.
Update 2 In my 1st update, I sorted the panels by magnitude of energy use, however, I was not able to sort by regional energy use within panels. I tried several sorting, ordering and reordering approaches to no avail. I finally asked the R Graphics expert, Paul Murrell, the author of R Graphics for help. Thanks again Paul.
Here's the plot the way I really wanted it.
"Whilst the charts look nice isn't the fact that the x-axis doesn't begin at 0 confusing the message?
Percentage of nuclear energy usage in Middle-East is not that intuitive…I would recommend forcing the x-axis to begin at 0."
Here's the chart with the x-axis starting at 0.

DOWNLOAD THE SONG: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/gillian-mckeith-single/id406005857
For those who don't know - TV nutritionist, Gillian McKeith, has been having a bit of trouble in this years ITV show, 'I'm A Celebrity...' and has been passing out all over the shop. I have nothing against Mrs. McKeith, but I thought I'd write a little song about the whole debacle. This is it.
(PS. Messed up the vocals didn't I, so had to re-record them after I'd filmed the video - that's why it looks so weird).
Oh Gillian McKeith, what are you doing on 'I'm a Celebrity'?
I sit and watch in disbelief, as you're passing out on the ground every night on ITV.
Well Gilly used to say she's a doctor, but she doesn't have a PHD,
And apparently now she's a celebrity, but she's never been in Heat magazine.
Well clearly I'm wrong, as either way she's in the Jungle,
But recently poor Gillian, she's been having a bit of trouble.
Oh Gilly, why've you been so silly?
I wouldn't have a balti if I didn't like chilli,
So why d'ya go and do it? Everybody must have told ya,
Don't go on that programme if you've got all kinds of phobias.
Oh Mrs McKeith, you're not gonna get any relief,
'Cause the public seem to like causing grief,
So the fainting's only going to increase.
Maybe it's because you lied about your doctorate,
Maybe it's because you don't like eating chocolate,
Maybe it's because of your obsession with poo,
Maybe it's because you look a bit like a goose.
Maybe it's because you're pissing people off,
Pretending to fall over every time you see a wasp.
I don't deny it must be hard, the tasks they do look tricky,
But can't you tackle them a bit more like that Linford Christie?
Oh Gilly, why've you been so silly?
I wouldn't have a balti if I didn't like chilli,
So why d'ya go and do it? Surely everybody told you,
Don't go on that programme if you've got arachnophobia.
Oh Gillian, why're you such a silly'un?
First of all you must be getting paid about a million,
You must have seen the show before - with your eyes so reptilian,
So I've no sympathy you've made yourself into a villain.
Oh Gillian (McKeith).

Heres another awesome low carb coffee high protein shake recipe to help keep you going through the day! I had been trying to figure out how to make a hazelnut coffee shake without all that unnecessary sugar and stumbled upon Splendas line of sugar-free coffee flavored packets. I must say the hazelnut one is fantastic! I will be trying out the french vanilla the next time! The hazelnuts in the shake give it a little bit of a grainy texture that tastes great!
1 Scoop Vailla Protein
1 Cup Unsweetned Almond Milk
1 Shot of Expresso
1 Serving (28g) Hazelnuts
2 Packets Splenda Hazelnut Sweetneer
2 Packets PureVia
2 tsp Benefiber
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (No Corn Syrup!)
1. Make expresso and let cool
2. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and add ice little by little until desired thickness/consistency is reached
3. Pour in a cup and enjoy! (I garnished mine with a bit of cinnamon and it was delicious!)

Just got out of a long relationship. The next relationship I get into I want it to be with a girl that I can consider my best friend. I'm not looking to date. Dating is more serious and gives the impression that something is gonna happen. I want to hangout as friends and see where it goes. I think as friends we can be ourselves and really get to know each other for who we r and not a front that we put on trying to impress one another. Submitted from mobile

Dr. Jeffrey Tobias, Chief Medical Officer, commented, "We believe that NGX-4010 has the potential to provide an important therapeutic alternative to patients suffering from postherpetic neuralgia, a frequent, yet difficult to manage, neuropathic pain condition that can affect up to one in five shingles patients. We believe that a significant unmet medical need exists in the treatment of PHN, and that the results from this trial mark a significant step in our goal of providing an effective, peripherally-acting treatment option for this patient population."
Anthony DiTonno, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We believe that the results from this study are a significant validation of our efforts to develop our lead product candidate, NGX-4010, and for NeurogesX. These results represent a key milestone in our NGX-4010 development program. We feel that the consistency of both the magnitude and duration of effect of NGX-4010 is evidence of the potential benefits of this product candidate. With over 1,500 patients in our PHN and painful HIV-distal sensory polyneuropathy (HIV-DSP) clinical studies to date, we believe that we are building a significant body of evidence in support of a potential new drug application (NDA) filing in the second half of 2008."
NGX-4010 is a dermal patch designed to manage peripheral neuropathic pain. This is the second of two successful Phase 3 clinical trials of NGX-4010 for PHN that the Company has completed in the past year. The previously completed Phase 3 trial also demonstrated that a single, 60-minute treatment with NGX- 4010 applied directly to the site of pain may provide pain relief for up to 12 weeks.
In addition to being studied in PHN, NGX-4010 was also studied in a
successful Phase 3 clinical trial in painful HIV-DSP and is currently being
studied in a second Phase 3 trial for this indication which is currently in
excess of 90% enrolled. Top-line results from this ongoing trial are
expected in

When I was in high school, I co-oped on a farm who had a mare who had broken her leg when she was 10. She had been an eventer and was going prelim. Well she hurt herself in the field one day, it was a clean break so they slowly nursed her back to health. She doesnt jump any more, but she does 3rd level dressage and wins consistently.
So yes, a broken leg can be fixed and the horse can have a full (or close to it) recovery.. but I think it also depends on where the break is and what it is (multiple or just one clean break)

YIELD: Makes 36 rolls
Pick over crab meat to remove any bits of cartilage and shell and stir together with vinegar and salt to taste. Chill crab, covered.
Make nori egg sheets:
In a 2-cup measure stir together eggs, mirin, water, and salt until just combined. Lightly brush a 12-inch nonstick skillet with oil and heat over moderately low heat until just hot. (A drop of egg mixture should set without sizzling or browning.) Pour 1/2 cup egg mixture into skillet, tilting to coat bottom evenly. Cook egg mixture until set on underside but still slightly wet on top, about 1 minute, and center 1 nori sheet on top, pressing gently with fingers to adhere nori to egg. Cook sheet until egg under nori is set, about 30 seconds more (egg not covered by nori may not be completely set) and invert onto a sheet of wax paper. Invert nori egg sheet onto a cutting board and discard wax paper. Trim egg even with nori, discarding excess, and halve sheet crosswise. Stack halves and cover with a damp paper towel. Make and halve 2 more nori egg sheets in same manner, using a fresh sheet of wax paper for each.
Have ready 6 rinsed and squeezed-dry paper towels. On a work surface put 1 nori egg sheet half, nori side up and with a long side close to you. Spread 2 1/2 tablespoons crab mixture over nori, leaving a 3/4-inch-wide nori border along far edge of sheet. Beginning with long side closest to you, tightly roll up sheet and wrap in 1 damp paper towel. Make 5 more rolls in same manner. Rolls may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, wrapped in damp paper towels in a sealable plastic bag.
Make dipping sauce:
In a small bowl stir together soy sauce, mirin, and water.
Gently unwrap rolls from paper towels and put, seam sides down, on cutting board. With a sharp knife trim ends and halve rolls crosswise. Cut each half into 3 pieces and top each piece with a small mound of tobiko and/or caviar Serve rolls with dipping sauce.

Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree)
Melaleuca alternifolia in Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney (Photo: Gardenology.org)
Species information
Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden & Betche) Cheel
tea tree, ti tree
Widespread and common in the wild. Not evaluated according to IUCN Red List criteria.
Along streams and on swampy flats, on the coast and adjacent ranges.
Medicinal (tea tree oil), ornamental.
Pure tea tree oil should not be ingested, and should be kept out of the reach of children; several cases of tea tree oil poisoning have been recorded. The oil can also cause contact dermatitis.
About this species
The genus Melaleuca belongs to the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) and includes about 250 species (including the paperbarks, some of which are cultivated as ornamentals). Most Melaleuca species are restricted to Australia. M. alternifolia bears fluffy, white masses of flowers from spring to early summer, and its narrow leaves help distinguish it from the similar species M. linariifolia, which has wider leaves and flattish-spherical fruits.
Captain James Cook, the 18th century explorer, is reported to have used tea tree leaves to brew a spicy tea, although the common name 'tea tree' has been applied to several plants in the genera Melaleuca and Leptospermum (also in Myrtaceae), so the exact species he used is unknown.

Geography and distribution
Melaleuca alternifolia is native to Australia, where it is found from Queensland to north-east New South Wales, at up to 300 m above sea level.
A tall shrub or small tree up to 7 m high with a bushy crown and papery bark. The hairless leaves are scattered to whorled and are 10-35 mm long by about 1 mm wide. The leaves have prominent oil glands and are rich in aromatic oil. The leaves are borne on a petiole (leaf stalk) of about 1 mm long. The inflorescences are many-flowered spikes, 3-5 cm long, with axes bearing short hairs. The white flowers are solitary, each within a bract, and have petals 2-3 mm long. There are 30-60 stamens (male parts) per bundle and the style (female part) is 3-4 mm long. The fruit is cup-shaped and 2-3 mm in diameter, with a hole 1.5-2.5 mm in diameter, enabling the release and dispersal of the seeds by wind. Fruits are usually sparsely spaced along the branches.
Traditionally, the crushed leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia were used by Australian Aborigines to treat skin infections. Today, M. alternifolia is commercially cultivated (especially in north-east New South Wales) for tea tree oil, an essential oil which is used as an antiseptic in skin care products, in the perfume industry, and in soaps and mouthwashes. The oil is effective against bacterial, fungal and viral infections, and is used in products to treat such conditions as athlete's foot, warts, acne and vaginal infections. Tea tree oil is also used for treating respiratory problems, such as asthma and bronchitis.
Melaleuca alternifolia makes an excellent hedge and windbreak, and is also planted to stabilise embankments. Its wood is used in construction, and its branches are used for fencing.
Related species include M. cajuputi, the source of cajuput oil, and M. quinquenervia (broad-leaved paperbark) which is used for Aboriginal bark paintings and is the source of niaouli oil.
Millennium Seed Bank - Seed Storage
Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plant life world wide, focusing on plants under threat and those of most use in the future. Seeds are dried, packaged and stored at a sub-zero temperature in our seed bank vault.
Description of seeds: Average 1,000 seed weight = 0.11 g
Number of seed collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: One
Melaleuca alternifolia can be grown in a wide range of soils in sub-tropical climates, but performs best in well-drained but moist soil in full sun. It responds well to heavy pruning. Tea trees are drought-tolerant and can survive flooding and fire, but are not frost-tolerant.
Commercial cultivation involves planting seed at high densities and then cutting back the whole plant close to ground level (coppicing) every 6-18 months to harvest the essential oil. The oil is extracted by steam distillation of the leaves and terminal branchlets.
This species at Kew
Melaleuca alternifolia is not grown at Kew, but other Melaleuca species can be seen in the Temperate House. Pressed and dried specimens of M. alternifolia are held in the Herbarium, where they are available to researchers from around the world by appointment. A sample of tea tree oil from M. alternifolia is held in the Economic Botany Collection in the Sir Joseph Banks Building.
Australia Landscape - Kew at the British Museum
In 2011, Kew and the British Museum brought to the heart of London a landscape showcasing the rich biodiversity of Australia, and how these fragile systems are under threat from land usage and climate change.
Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) was one of 12 star plants featured in the Landscape, which took you on a journey across a whole continent, from eastern Australia's coastal habitat, through the arid red centre, to the western Australian granite outcrop featuring unique and highly endangered plants.
Australia Landscape was part of the Australian season at the British Museum.

Rule change would affect rite of passage
This coming weekend, the state Fish and Wildlife Commission is set to change the sportfishing rules. In short, the new rules will close all of the Columbia River, its tributaries and beaver ponds to fishing "unless otherwise open." That's a reversal of tradition.

It's usually easy for me to ask for a few well-deserved gifts. But given the destruction caused by this year's Carlton Complex wildfire, there are so many things that area residents deserve — and need — that I can't possibly ask for enough. But I'll start with a few common-sense requests.
Reopen 36-mile stretch of river
Residents of our state did not cede the right to access and enjoyment of public waterways to utilities operating dams on the Columbia or other rivers. But Grant County Public Utility District officials would have you believe they are the sole arbiters of who gets to fish, boat and access a 36-mile stretch of the Columbia River from Wanapum Dam to Rock Island Dam. They are not.
Road block to established access
Forest Service Road No. 30 is an example of access issues facing those of us who enjoy recreating on publicly owned lands managed by a government agency. It makes you wonder how many public roads with prescriptive rights are now off limits, locked behind a government gate.
Sustainable means maintainable
Having a sustainable plan means striking a proper balance, rather than tipping the scales further toward environmentalism.
Focus funding on our agriculture
In the wake of the Carlton Complex wildfires, you'd think the only industry here in Okanogan County is tourism. It's a narrative a self-serving group of state agencies want you and the world to believe.
Philae gave me reason to believe
I'm usually not much of a movie-goer. And I certainly don't plan to sit around and watch TV when there is life to live and work to be done. But then there are times I can be such a geek. I can sit motionless in front of the big screen or the TV. And on occasion, I can even tune out my favorite hard-rock songs and tune into "Coast to Coast." Last week was one of those weeks.
Large 'habitat' buy raises concern
I've often voiced my concern over state agencies continuing to buy land in the name of habitat protection. But rural residents should also be aware of the economic pitfalls that will follow large acquisitions by environmental groups.
Student election results intriguing
Last Friday, students statewide had an opportunity to participate in a mock election that included the same measures and congressional candidates as on the Nov. 4 general election ballot.
Ratepayers deserve a break
In the short six year's I've been living here in Okanogan County, I've seen power rates increase, and then increase again. Now, it looks as though the Okanogan County Utility District wants me to dip into my wallet further.
Agency spin not helping economy
Last week, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife hosted a local meeting on its "tourism" effort. Interestingly, the effort looked more like an effort to sell a political agenda than it did a concerted tourism plan.
State moving to close Columbia
During the last two months, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife has been flying a fishing proposal for the Columbia River under the radar. That proposal would reverse the way fisheries are managed on the Columbia River, its tributaries and their beaver ponds.
GPS data may resolve wolf issues
Just when you thought the intense discussion over the re-introduction of wolves in Washington state was quieting down, livestock deaths in Stevens County has added fuel to the fire. And the Stevens County Commission has stepped to the forefront of the debate.
Attend Oct. 1 fish, wildlife session
It's that time again when you have an opportunity to make sure the "top brass" at the state Department of Fish and Wildlife hear you. The annual Brewster Roundtable is coming up Oct. 1. It'll run from 6-8:30 p.m. in the Columbia Cove recreation building, 508 W. Cliff Ave., Brewster.

The very best piece of writing I've encountered on Twitter comes from a feed called NeinQuarterly.
Here it is: "At Starbucks I order under the name Godot. Then leave."
That's an almost perfect use of Twitter as a platform: Aphoristic, and yet hinting at a depth of knowledge underneath. It's a joke, but one you have to know something to get. The same is true of much of what appears at NeinQuarterly, which bills itself as a "Compendium of Utopian Negation," but is really more a labor of love.
NeinQuarterly is the brainchild of Eric Jarosinski, an assistant professor of German at the University of Pennsylvania. His specialty is Weimar literature and philosophy. Since he began posting in February 2012, he has attracted more than 44,000 followers, who come for his signature mix of disappointment and irony.
"It's a beautiful day to discover your authentic self. And find it wanting," reads one recent tweet. And: "You call it another wasted afternoon. I call it the power of social media."
For Jarosinski, NeinQuarterly offers a way to foster a digital conversation, while pushing the narrow bounds of academia. "I try to keep it far away from my day job in most respects," he explains, "and few of my students even know about it, but they are closely related. Aphorisms are my favorite thing to teach."
Recently we corresponded via email about NeinQuarterly.
What is NeinQuarterly, and how did it start?
NeinQuartertly is a sometimes funny, sometimes melancholic, sometimes playful, sometimes bitter Twitter feed that explores the complexities and/or absurdities of everyday life and language. The idea came from my study of the philosophy of Nietzsche, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin. I was primarily drawn to their development of the philosophical aphorism or "thought-image."
NeinQuarterly's avatar is based on Adorno, as is the general perspective of the feed, at least loosely. I've been developing the critical voice of a misanthrope, of an arrogant cultural pessimist, but one who's also often sentimental, whimsical, self-aggrandizing, foolish, and in love. The persona is, in a way, the Adorno I've always somehow read between the lines. Or perhaps simply want to find there: an Adorno who is at his most humane when he is most critical of that which makes us less human.
Why Twitter?
When I first discovered Twitter I didn't find it all appealing. It was just millions of people writing about the mundane details of everyday life. Then I started to follow some writers, poets and comedians and discovered ways in which you could experiment and do more interesting things with the form. The more I got to know it, the more I saw Twitter as the rebirth of a tradition of storytelling, jokes and the aphorism. And it made it possible to connect with other people, smart people, often with a sense of humor.
I discovered Twitter at a time when I found myself feeling quite isolated by my work as an academic. In writing about it, in poking fun of the Ivory Tower, I established a network among many others who felt the same way. I'm realistic about what topics can be explored on Twitter, but I also find that Twitter's constraints fuel its originality. Rather than make a philosophical point, the challenge is to perform or enact one. Preferably two.
You call NeinQuarterly a "Compendium of Utopian Negation." Aren't those ideas opposed?
Yes, and the contradiction is very much intentional. To the extent that NeinQuarterly has a project, it is very much one of negation. In ridiculing, inverting or saying no to the clichés of politics and the catchphrases of pop culture, maybe it's also somehow creating a space, however playful, to envision what else could take their place. Something we might prefer to say yes to. Or, well, not. If you'll allow me to quote one of my own tweets: "Dialectics isn't saying no just to say no. It's saying no to say yes. And then saying no."
This ironic sense of humor is one of the appeals of the feed. At the same time, many tweets are personal, as in the recent observation about students giving you hope that you wished you didn't have to give back.
What I write is very much connected to what I'm thinking about at a given moment. I delete many of the tweets I write, often because I find them too personal after the fact.
The only real aesthetic governing what I'm doing, at least that I consciously think about, is a certain rhythm that I'm aiming for. My sentences have changed dramatically over my time on Twitter. I write much more in terms of sound than I did at the outset.
But on the whole, NeinQuarterly has been about developing a character, a voice and a perspective that can be applied to most anything. I'm often a rather depressed, anxious and pessimistic person, but fortunately I've always been able to laugh at myself. Eventually. It's been my way out of my darkest times.
How did you get interested in German culture and philosophy?

Connecting to a SQL Server CE Database
Before you can manipulate information in a database, you must open a connection to a valid data source. The Connection object is used to represent a connection to a data source. To open a connection to a data source, create a variable that represents the connection, and then create a Microsoft® ActiveX® Data Object for Windows® CE (ADOCE) Connection object by using the Set statement and CreateObject function. The following example shows how to do this:
Dim cn As ADOCE.Connection Set cn = CreateObject("ADOCE.Connection.3.1")
Note When you use the CreateObject function to create a reference to the ADOCE 3.1 control, you must include the version number. If the version number is omitted from the string, an earlier version of the control is used. If no earlier version of the control exists on the device, an error is returned. Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000 Windows CE Edition (SQL Server CE) can be accessed only through ADOCE 3.1 or later.
After a Connection object is created, you can use the properties and methods of the Connection object to open, close, and manipulate a connection. The following example shows how to open a connection to a database on the device by using the Open method:
cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.OLEDB.CE.2.0; data source=\Northwind.sdf" cn.Open
Caution You must specify the SQL Server CE provider string when you open a SQL Server CE database. If you do not specify a provider string in the Open method, Open defaults to using the proprietary Windows CE data source and creates a new Windows CE data source file named Test.sdf. This is the equivalent of specifying CEDB for the Provider property in the connection string.
In the previous sample, the connection string property is set before the Open method is executed. The Open method is used without any parameters. A connection string can also be used as a parameter of the Open method. When connecting to a SQL Server CE database, you must specify both the provider and data source properties in the connection string. The data source property must be set with the full path and database name.
Disconnecting from a Database
After you make modifications and save them to the database, close the connection to the data source. The following example shows how to use the Close method to close a connection:
cn.Close Set cn = Nothing
Note You can have only one open connection to a SQL Server CE database at a time, and this connection must be closed before starting replication or remote data access (RDA).

Excerpts From Statement by Sept. 11 Commission Staff
Published: June 17, 2004
(Page 6 of 7)
Both K.S.M. and Binalshibh have reported that Atta and Jarrah clashed over the extent of Jarrah's autonomy and involvement in planning the operation. Binalshibh believes the dispute stemmed, at least in part, from Jarrah's frequent visits to and contact with his girlfriend and his family. Further, unlike Atta and Shehhi - who had attended flight school together - Jarrah spent much of his time in the United States alone. Binalshibh was supposed to have trained with Jarrah but failed to obtain a U.S. visa. As a result, according to Binalshibh, Jarrah felt isolated and excluded from decision making. Binalshibh claims he had to mediate between Atta and Jarrah.
Jarrah's final trip to see his girlfriend, from July 25 to Aug. 5, 2001, is of particular interest. In contrast to his prior trips, this time Senguen bought him a one-way ticket to Germany. Moreover, it appears that Atta drove him to the airport in Miami, another unusual circumstance suggesting that something may have been amiss. Finally, according to Binalshibh, who met Jarrah at the airport in Düsseldorf, Jarrah said he needed to see Senguen right away. When he had time to meet with Binalshibh a few days later, the two of them had an emotional conversation during which Binalshibh encouraged Jarrah to see the plan through.
Perhaps the most significant evidence that Jarrah was reconsidering his participation in the 9/11 plot resides in communications that took place between K.S.M. and Binalshibh in mid-July 2001. During the spring and summer of 2001, K.S.M. had a number of conversations that appear to have concerned the 9/11 plot. Both K.S.M. and Binalshibh confirm discussing the plot during their mid-July conversation, which occurred just a few days before Jarrah embarked on his last trip to Germany. At this point, Binalshibh had just returned from his meeting with Atta in Spain and was now reporting to K.S.M. on the status of the plot. Concerned that Jarrah might drop out of the operation, K.S.M. emphasized to Binalshibh the importance of ensuring peace between Jarrah and Atta. In the course of discussing this concern and the potential delay of the plot, moreover, K.S.M. instructed Binalshibh to send "the skirts" to "Sally" - a coded reference instructing Binalshibh to send funds to Zacarias Moussaoui. Atta and Jarrah were referred to as an unhappy couple. K.S.M. warned that if Jarrah "asks for a divorce, it is going to cost a lot of money."
There is good reason to believe that K.S.M. wanted money sent to Moussaoui to prepare him as a potential substitute pilot in the event Jarrah dropped out. Moussaoui attended al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. Sent to Malaysia in September 2000 by Bin Ladin and K.S.M. to obtain pilot training, Moussaoui told terrorist associates there about his plans to crash a plane into the White House. He came to the United States in Feb. 2001 - armed with the fruits of Atta's flight school research - and started taking flight lessons at the Airman Flight School in Norman, Okla., but stopped that training by early June. Shortly after he received $14,000 from Binalshibh in early August, however, Moussaoui rushed into an intensive flight simulator course at Pan Am International Flight Academy in Eagan, Minn. At about this same time, he also purchased two knives and inquired of two G.P.S. manufacturers whether their units could be converted for aeronautical use - actions that closely resembled those of the 9/11 hijackers during their final preparations for the attacks. Moussaoui's Aug. 16, 2001, arrest ended his simulator training and may have prevented him from joining the 9/11 operation.
The reports of the interrogations of Binalshibh and K.S.M. regarding Moussaoui are not entirely consistent. According to Binalshibh, he understood that K.S.M. was instructing him to send the money to Moussaoui in July 2001 as part of the 9/11 plot. Moreover, recounting a post-9/11 discussion he had with K.S.M. in Kandahar, Binalshibh says K.S.M. referred to Moussaoui as if he had been part of the 9/11 plot, noting that Moussaoui was arrested because he was not sufficiently discreet and had been an exception to Bin Ladin's strong overall record of choosing the right operatives for the plot.
K.S.M., on the other hand, denies that Moussaoui was ever intended to be part of the 9/11 operation and was slated instead to participate in a so-called "second wave" of attacks on the West Coast after Sept. 11. K.S.M. also claims that Moussaoui never had any contact with Atta in the United States, and we have seen nothing to the contrary. Notably, however, K.S.M. also claims that by the summer of 2001 he was too busy with the 9/11 plot to plan the second wave attacks. Moreover, he admits that only three potential pilots were recruited for the alleged second wave, Moussaoui; Abderraouf Jdey, also known as Faruq al Tunisi (a Canadian-passport holder); and Zaini Zakaria, also known as Mussa. By the summer of 2001, both Jdey and Zaini already had backed out of the operation. The case of Jdey holds particular interest, as some evidence indicates that he may have been selected for the planes operation at the same time as the Hamburg group.

This is getting a little ridiculous. And I love the uniform, but I think Michigan needs to spread it out. Michigan had 3 alternate jerseys last year (not counting the TechFits/Non-TechFits because those had no intention of being alternates. Michigan didn't even sell TechFit style until this year). And now 2 this year.
I think one a year would be just fine. I pretty much can promise you we'll see another for UTL II and the bowl game (if Michigan makes one.)
They're at the point now where M-Den is actually selling "2012 Home gloves". It's a goldmine Dave Brandon has hit, and don't think he is going to stop. Hell, ohio did special jerseys for their spring game back in 2009. Don't think DB isn't exploring into that. They already put the official Spring Game logo patch on the jerseys.
There will be always be insane fans (like myself) who will rush to buy or preorder the new jerseys. I even bought a pair of the UTL gloves and framed them with the jersey. I know I have a problem.
