Trip brings back memories of pronghorn
By Forrest Mims : September 7, 2012 : Updated: September 8, 2012 1:14pm
Photo By FORREST M MIMS 111
Pronghorn show their curiousity for the camera. These were photographed near Roswell, N.M.
U.S. 285 crosses a treeless stretch of New Mexico.
It's so barren that some drivers might become bored while driving along that lonely road.
But the 100-mile section of road between Roswell and Vaughn never bores me, because many years ago I rode it on a bright yellow, 10-speed Peugeot bicycle while leading a group of 16 teens and young adult cyclists from Albuquerque to Padre Island National Seashore.
During a drive along that highway to see the May 20 solar eclipse, I recalled the two huge tarantulas I used to encourage two sleepy riders to leave their sleeping bags one morning and get ready to roll.
The trip also brought back memories of the big rattlesnake I nearly stepped on while checking a possible campsite a hundred yards ahead of the resting bikers.
The snake retreated into a burrow after I kicked sand at it.
I broke off eight of that snake's rattles as its tail slid down the hole.
My intent was to convince the riders we should not camp there, but they didn't believe me when I showed them the rattles and told them how I had to retreat to the pavement when the angry snake quickly re-emerged from the hole.
Many other memories came back as we drove, and the best of all was suggested by several clusters of pronghorn we saw along the highway.
Pronghorn are much easier to see from a bicycle than from a speeding car.
During the bike trip we encountered a family of pronghorn while coasting down a 90-foot-high rise a mile north of the one-building village called Ramon, 35 miles south of Vaughn.
We were rolling around 40 mph down that hill. But that wasn't nearly fast enough to keep up with those speedy pronghorn, which left us in their dust.
Suddenly our lead rider spooked an immature pronghorn on the highway side of the fence. That youngster easily outran us for at least 200 yards until it found an opening under the fence and rejoined its buddies.
Pronghorn are the fastest land animals in the Western Hemisphere and are second only to Africa's cheetah.
John Byers, a biologist at the University of Idaho, has studied pronghorn for decades. In his book "Built for Speed: A Year in the Life of Pronghorn," Byers reports they can run as fast as 62 mph and can lope along at 45 mph for miles. During the eclipse trip, we stopped to photograph a cluster of four pronghorn north of Roswell on U.S. 285. They seemed as curious about us and the camera as we were about them.

I was lucky enough to get a table for two (pre-theatre) on Sunday 14th Jan. What can I say - service is impeccable, the food was divine (my lobster ravioli was anything but 'leathery' as one critic described it). The sommelier knows his stuff (Greek wine?!?! - I turned my nose up - but only until I tried it). The only let-downs were the lighting - too subdued and the atmosphere - stuffy and austere when it could be so much more fun.

I ate in the London Bar between Christmas and New Year with my family to celebrate my daughter's 21 st birthday and we all thought it was great. I couldn't get a table in the restaurant but the bar was fine. We chose 16 different dishes from the a la carte menu and so sampled, and enjoyed several combinations that we probably would not usually have tried. My son, normally quite conservative in his eating habits, tried everything and loved it. Especially surprised to see my favourite wine (Cloudy Bay) on the menu. Service was very friendly. My daughter ordered a cocktail but didn't like it and the waiter noticed she wasn't drinking it and it was replaced without charge (we didn't ask for this). Also it was surprisingly reasonable - but the exchange rate helps I guess! Interesting rest rooms.

We absolutley loved Gordon Ramsay's at The London. The staff were very attentive and the food amazing. We had the Lobster ravioli which I would highly recommend along with the Roast cannon of lamb and Line caught turbot. They even catered for my daughter and made her a tomato pasta. For desert we had Caramelized apple tarte Tatin This was the best dining experience we have EVER had. To top it all Gordon Ramsay was there at that time and was kind enough to sign a menu for us and allow us to have a photo taken with him.

I was one of the lucky few who was able to get a reservation during the opening week of perhaps NYC's biggest restaurant opening of the year. With all the hype surrounding this opening and with all the publicity that Gordon Ramsay has received (he has two television shows and is London's only Michelin 3-star Chef) the meal did not disappoint. Due to dietary restrictions I had requested that a special tasting menu be prepared and kitchen was able to deliver one of the better meals that I have had in NY. While I was completely pleased with my dining experience I feel that there are still some improvements that need to be made in order for the restaurant to infact be ranked with NY's elite. The wait staff needs to be better coordinated and needs to work on providing a slightly faster service. Also the Maitre'd needs to manage reservations better because along with myself many other people had to wait upwards of 15 minutes to be seated. All in all I feel that the restaurant is on the path to success as long as they can get past some of the growing pains of working in a new environment and the kitchen continues creating fabulous dishes, Gordon Ramsay will indeed make a mark in NY, among the world's greatest chefs.

Back to school: GTD is the solution for parents
A Community Contribution from April Perry
The first day of school started out great. My three oldest children dressed in their new clothes, laced up their new shoes, ate a healthy breakfast, and then headed off to school with homemade sack lunches and brightly-colored, fully-stocked pencil cases. I felt like a wonderful mom.
They returned home seven hours later, happy but tired, toting folders overflowing with paperwork, and that's when MY work started (I mean…continued). As I shuffled through more than 50 sheets of fliers, forms, and date-specific notices, I started to feel a little dizzy. The pile on my counter harbored a LOT of information, most of which needed my attention right that minute. I was tempted to break into tears or bury my head in a carton of Rocky Road, but then I thought, "Wait a minute. I've been trained in GTD. I was MADE for situations like this."
Within 30 minutes, the papers were completely processed, and I was ready to move on with our evening. And since I had such a glorious experience with my paper party, I thought I'd share some ideas that might help other moms manage the near-constant influx of papers that comes flying from their children's backpacks.
Shall we begin?
Step #1: I did a quick initial sort, pulling everything out of the pile that belonged in the trash. That was actually half the pile, since all three of my children received identical copies of each handout (maybe they'll go digital someday?). By removing the trash at the beginning, the remaining stack looked much less daunting.
Step #2: I went through the stack again and processed everything that would take two minutes or less. I typed the teachers' email addresses into my Contacts list, noted the date of the school's 5K, and recorded all of the holiday breaks onto my calendar. That eliminated seven or eight more sheets of paper.
Step #3: I gathered all the sheets I wanted to keep for reference (bell schedules, classroom rules, details about the school exercise program, etc.) and put them immediately into my filing cabinet in a clearly-labeled folder…just in case I need to find them quickly in the future.
Step #4: I made a decision on the school picture order form and then wrote a reminder on the next day's calendar page to order the photos online (doing so enabled me to receive a few extra photos free of charge. Wasn't that a nice of them?).
Step #5: I got out my Next Actions list and recorded the three extra school supplies my daughter needed in the "Errands" context.
Step #6: I spread out all nine of the emergency cards and a few extra forms on the table, and my children and I filled them out together. They wrote their names, address, phone number, etc., and then I added a few additional pieces of information and my signature.
That was it! Piece of cake, right? There's no need to stress when you're a "black-belt" at paper processing.
There was one little boy in my daughter's Kindergarten class a few years ago whose mother NEVER emptied his backpack. I'm serious. Every morning, he came to school with a bulging backpack–full of paperwork that had been piling up for months. I knew his mom a little bit, and I don't think she was trying to be neglectful. I think she just felt overwhelmed with her own paperwork and problems, and unzipping a backpack of "stuff" would have thrown her over the edge.
I feel like part of my mission in life is to help the moms of the world to get organized. It takes some work, but it's not that complicated, and the basic ideas presented in Getting Things Done have the power to make life much, much easier–whether it's the first day of school or simply the first day of the rest of your life.

On March 4, 2014, the United States Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, expanded the protections offered to whistleblowers under anti-fraud laws, in Lawson v. FMR LLC. In its decision, the Court ruled that a specific protection against retaliation enacted as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act after Enron's collapse, i.e., 18 U.S.C. § 1514A, not only provides whistleblower protection to employees of public companies, but also protects a public company's private contractors and subcontractors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act "aims to 'prevent and punish corporate and criminal fraud, protect the victims of such fraud, preserve evidence of such fraud, and hold wrongdoers accountable for their actions.'" The Act's whistleblower provisions protect those who reveal frauds from retaliation; whistleblowers can also potentially receive a portion of any recovered funds from exposing the fraud.
Finding that not extending protections to private contractors of public companies would create a "huge hole" in such protections, the Court concluded that Congress intended to include within whistleblower protection "countless professionals equipped to bring fraud on investors to a halt."
In Lawson, two employees of private companies that advised certain Fidelity mutual funds revealed that the funds were overstating expenses. The funds served by the private companies are public companies with no employees. The whistleblowers raised concerns about certain cost accounting methodologies used by the Funds and certain inaccuracies in a draft SEC registration statement. Both suffered adverse employment actions and were ultimately fired.
Both whistleblowers filed administrative complaints alleging retaliation prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 1514A. Both ultimately sued their employer under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, but lost when an appeals court ruled that the law's protections only covered public company employees, not outside advisers and accountants. The whistleblowers thus argued to the Supreme Court that such a limited view would support "the very code of silence" that Sarbanes-Oxley was enacted to prevent. The Supreme Court, through Justice Ginsburg (joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Breyer, Kagan, Scalia, and Thomas), agreed.
Essentially, the Supreme Court ruled in Lawson that outside accountants, lawyers, and other professionals cannot be punished for exposing fraud. The Court recognized that the decision avoided insulating the entire mutual fund industry from 28 U.S.C. § 1514A's protections. Mutual funds commonly have no employees, instead relying heavily on outside contractors. "[A]ffording whistleblower protection to mutual fund investment advisers is crucial to Sarbanes-Oxley's endeavor to 'protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures made pursuant to the securities laws.'"
Justice Sotomayor (joined by Justices Alito and Kennedy) filed a dissent, looking to the specific language of the statute and finding that the law only extended to public company employees, not outside advisers.

The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Mr Pat Rabbitte TD, announced on Tuesday that the Government has approved his proposal to establish a 70 million euro "Energy Efficiency Fund" that will provide project lending for energy efficiency works in the public and commercial sectors.
According to the minister, the Energy Efficiency Fund will be separate from, and additional to, the grants-based Retrofit programme for private homes, which he claims currently maintains more than 4,000 jobs.
"The Government has today authorised 35 million euro in seed capital for the Fund, which will leverage a similar amount from the private sector," said the Minister. "We estimate that about 250 million euro in savings can be made in energy bills in the public sector alone. Around 675 jobs, direct and indirect, will be created for every 10 million euro in expenditure."
The Energy Efficiency Fund will finance two main types of project in the public and commercial sector:
• Energy Performance Contracts, where funding is drawn down by an energy services company, a commercial business that designs and implements energy savings for clients; and
• Direct lending to client companies.
The Minister also announced a move to allow home owners to finance energy-saving improvements more easily. "Separately, I will bring proposals to Cabinet later this year for the residential sector to transition from the Retrofit scheme, which pays grants after the event to those who can commit to the cost of upgrading their homes, to a new financing model—"Pay as you Save" (PAYS). Under PAYS, the homeowner will enjoy the same immediate benefits as Retrofit, and will be able to finance their home improvements from on-going savings on their energy bills."
We estimate that about 250 million euro in savings can be made in energy bills in the public sector alone…
According to Joseph Kearney of the BER Assessor Association of Ireland, householders and businesses are best advised to get organised before applying for such grant funding. "The best thing you can do is to ring up a qualified assessor prior to getting any of the grants—to find someone who can do an energy audit. Get them to have a look at the building and to go through it with a fine tooth comb, finding out exactly what the customer's needs are and how to match those needs with the grant."
Mr Kearney says that for most buildings, there are areas that prove most cost effective and should be tackled first.
"To keep in the heat, insulating the attic is probably one of the cheapest things to do—it is very cost-effective. The next thing then in terms of insulation is to insulate the walls, especially if the walls are standard brick and block cavity walls. Pumping insulation into the gap makes a huge difference to the building's energy efficiency. If you have single-glazed windows, switch to double glazing, and if you have double glazing over 15 years old, especially if it is steel or aluminium, you should also consider replacing that. Energy-saving lightbulbs will also pay for themselves over time."

Anyway, this is a post that I've been thinking about since Christmas when I got both of the polishes involved. For Christmas, among others, my sister got me a bottle of Sephora by OPI I'm With Brad. When I went to the mall for the Boxing Day sales, I picked up a bottle of OPI Midnight in Moscow, not really remembering that I'd just gotten a very similar polish the day before. I sure as hell remembered when I was putting my polishes away into the storage containers and ended up putting I'm With Brad and Midnight in Moscow right next to each other.
My fingers are far too pink in this picture, but I think the polish colour is fairly accurate, and it shows the shimmer well.
I put Midnight in Moscow on my index and ring fingers, I'm With Brad on middle and pinkie.
Both polishes are very vampy and consist of dark red shimmer in an almost-black base. Both polishes looked almost identical as I painted them onto my nails, and needed two coats for full coverage. I ended up doing three coats on my index and middle fingers though, just for comparison.
This picture shows the brown notes in the shimmer more than the first, and I would say that the actual polish colour is somewhere in between the two.
This was the only picture where I could really see much difference between the two polishes. I'm With Brad seems to have more red in the shimmer than Midnight in Moscow, which seems a little more brown. In all honesty though, it's really hard to tell any difference at all in person. Unless you're staring really intently at the two of them (like I did) you probably can't tell them apart at all.
I would recommend buying one of these two polishes, but the specific polish is up to the individual buyer.
I was also originally planning on throwing Nicole by OPI Kiss Me At Midnight into the comparison as well, but the bottle I have of it is a mini and it has gotten lost somewhere in the swirling vortex that is my room. Upon studying my swatch of KMAM on my nail wheel against the other two though, it's quite a bit lighter than they are.
What about you, do you have one or both of these polishes? Which one do you prefer?

Song video clichés
Sorry if this has been done before (that would be ironic lol) but you know what i mean? Things that you always see in song videos that bands do ALL THE TIME. I can think of 2:
1stly, those "montages" of bands on tour with pics of them pulling silly faces, drinking, falling off skateboards and playing on stage etc... it's usually the 4th or 5th video off the album meaning that basically the record company have said "ok, we've stumped up the cash for 3 proper music videos already, for this last single we want to have it done for as cheaply as possible. Here's a video camera, film some silly stuff on tour and we'll make a video out of it!"
Then there are those vids where bands have TVs on their heads, usually the pitcure being of their head. Yeah it's a good idea, if it wasn't for the fact that it's been done about a million times before...

Western Cape tourism minister Alan Winde has called for urgent talks with South African Airways chief executive Monwabisi Kalawe following the carrier's decision to cancel its Johannesburg-Buenos Aires route next year.
"Ahead of peak tourism season this is a particular blow. It does not inspire confidence in South Africa's air access strategy. If we are serious about investment, exports and tourism, we need more direct routes, not less," says Winde.
The South African national carrier plans to cancel the route as part of a new turnaround plan outlined earlier this year.
Last month, a group of tour operators from Argentina wrote to public enterprises minister Malusi Gigaba and SAA in a bid to save the direct flights. The tour operators estimated that the value of inbound tourism from Argentina to South Africa was over R400 million ($40 million).
State-owned SAA says the meeting is being handled through the shareholder department of the public enterprises department.

The Brave Knight
Poignant agonies stabbing the heart of a young chap,
howling in despair, longing for the furlough,
Away from the intoxicating life of mishap,
Strung out to the white lies he was once told.
Good things come to those who wait, so they said .
Like a saint with so much patience he stayed.
But the reality struck him hard..
Hiding in the fortress won't get you the buck,
Out on a stallion, fight like a brave knight – well,that might.
Before the plague begin.
Before the bridge get burn,
Before the cavalry is under siege and the gate is open.
All hail the brave knight.

Trent Richardson's swan song with the Browns turned out to be Sunday's game against the Ravens.
In a bold move that confirms the Browns are still rebuilding, they traded Richardson to the Colts on Wednesday, in exchange for a 2014 first-round pick. Richardson was the third pick in the 2012 draft, and he should immediately step in as the Colts' workhorse running back.
Not often do you see a top-five pick traded in only his second season. However, the Browns are headed in a different direction with a new head coach and a new front office, determined to end years of losing. Richardson was not drafted by the current Browns regime of coach Rob Chudzinski, general manager Michael Lombardi and CEO Joe Banner. The Browns are already 0-2, they appear headed for another long season and they still need a franchise quarterback
Brandon Weeden, injured Sunday against the Ravens, does not look like the answer at quarterback. So trading Richardson, and getting another first round pick, gives the Browns more ammunition to acquire the franchise quarterback they need.
In the long run, this deal may help the Browns. But losing Richardson makes it even more likely that the Browns will finish at the bottom of the AFC North - again. Meanwhile, when they face the Browns again on Nov. 3, the Ravens will not have to game plan for Richardson.
