Willamette Recognized as First in Nation for Sustainability Activities
A report card from the National Wildlife Federation recognized Willamette University for engaging in the most sustainability activities of all the 1,068 schools that participated in the federation's recent nationwide survey.
The NWF's report, "Campus Environment 2008: A National Report Card on Sustainability in Higher Education," is based on results from the nation's largest survey to gauge sustainability at colleges and universities. More than 240 individual schools are recognized and named in the report for having exemplary levels of sustainability activities, as determined by survey responses, and the school engaged in the greatest number of such activities is Willamette.
According to the NWF, "Willamette is committed to energy efficiency and conservation, greener transportation, environmentally friendly landscaping practices, as well as to orienting personnel and faculty to the sustainability goals of the campus."
Campuses were ranked according to their response to 18 items regarding the institution's commitment to sustainability. Willamette claimed 11 of the items, more than any other participating school.
"I am perhaps proudest that Willamette's sustainability achievements were largely student-initiated," Willamette President M. Lee Pelton said. "These are students whose passion, leadership and creativity transformed our campus culture. They inspire and motivate others on this campus and beyond."
David Orr, author of Earth in Mind, Ecological Literacy, The Last Refuge, and Design on the Edge, called the NWF report card "the Gold Standard for charting the sustainability movement in higher education."
The NWF created the report card in partnership with Princeton Survey Research Associates International. The survey was conducted between January and May 2008.

Dobber reveals nine underachieving players he's targeting in trade talks
In going through teams in my three keeper fantasy leagues, I find my interest piqued by certain players who are doing horrible. No, David Desharnais isn't one of them. Right now these players could be had for a song and the only serious cost to you is the roster spot that he wastes for the next month or so as you wait for him to come around. Or you drop him in January if he doesn't.
Just a quick list of guys, when looking through teams in my leagues for trade offers. There will definitely be some slumping players that I didn't address.
Buy Low
Carl Soderberg, Boston Bruins
It may be too late for the 28-year-old first-year player, since he has six points in his last five games. But I've put some feelers out. You never know. His current pace is 51 points and I think he'll surpass that. But maybe his owner won't.
Tyler Ennis, Buffalo Sabres
Ennis is a streaky player. We see it happen every year - 20 games, 20 points regardless of how bad a year he's having. I really think we'll see it again. Then we'll get all excited and draft him early again next summer. And round and round we go. But meanwhile, I'd like to get him for a song and then turn him out for a higher price after he has his hot run.
Jiri Tlusty, Carolina Hurricanes
I don't feel that Tlusty will turn it around enough to get to 55 points, but do think he'll turn it around and get 45. Not much help for my needs this year, but enough to give me hope for next year. I already landed him for a draft pick. Carolina, and in particular Eric Staal, turns it up in the second half each year.
Cam Ward, Carolina Hurricanes
Still going with my "Carolina will have a strong second half" theory here.
Slava Voynov, Los Angeles Kings
With seven points in his last nine games we're probably too late here as well. But I still think he'll be a Top 10 defenseman this year. His playoff performance had an impact on me.
Dustin Brown, Los Angeles Kings
The last time Brown's points-per-game was anywhere close to 0.36 he was a rookie. He's not going to leave that range now that he's in his prime, he just needs time.
Kris Letang, Pittsburgh Penguins
A slow start thanks to an injury wiping out the start of his year. But don't think for a second that he's not a near-point-per-game player. It just hasn't begun yet. It will.
John Carlson, Washington Capitals
He's on pace for 38 points thanks to his current run of nine points in his last 11 games. So I may be too late. I don't think Carlson will go out and get 60 points. At least not this year. But 45 to 50 sounds about right.
Tobias Enstrom, Winnipeg Jets
With two points in his last 18 games, Enstrom is ripe for the picking. After missing much of the last 18 months, he's just off to a slow start. His points-per-game average should be closer to the 0.6 mark and not his current 0.35.
But not all "slumping players" are catching my interest. Many of the names my eyes just skim right past. Not even a second look, I just file them under "I" (for ignore).
No Thanks
Brad Marchand, Boston Bruins
He was never a big offensive guy, so after he led his team in scoring last season I tried really hard to move him in the league I own him in. There is no way I go after him in another league.
Jamie McBain, Buffalo Sabres
McBain has had enough chances. He looks alright in Buffalo when he plays, but there has to be a reason he keeps getting scratched.
Drew Stafford, Buffalo Sabres
After a decline to 50 points in 2011-12, followed by a terrible year last season, I'm in no mood to put up with his eight points in 25 games. At 28 years of age, we should have seen more by now.
Sergei Gonchar, Dallas Stars
I didn't have any expectations for him this year anyway. That certainly hasn't changed.
Sam Gagner, Edmonton Oilers
This is more a personal bias. I've just never been a fan. The only time he ever raised my eyebrow was when he tallied eight points in a game. Not everyone can do that. But until he's out of Edmonton, I'm not interested.
David Desharnais, Montreal Canadiens
Maybe - maybe - if he was thrown into a deal for free I would grudgingly take him, thanks to his recent little run. But he's had all the opportunity in the world. So if this 'little run' doesn't continue long enough to correct his numbers, I'm writing him off.
Damien Brunner, New Jersey Devils
It's just not his team. I still think Brunner could be a very good player. Even a star. But not with the Devils.
Michael Ryder, New Jersey Devils
This cat has run out of lives. His decline has been stalled for years thanks to his hopping teams and entering the perfect situation. But now that decline is in full effect.
Alex Edler, Vancouver Canucks
Whenever a two-way player exceeds my expectations (see Marchand, Brad - above), I never really get my head around the fact that he's suddenly a good offensive player. So when that player stumbles I tend to be quick to write him off. Edler peaked at 49 points and I doubt he ever gets 45 again.

If not for the wave of immigration last decade, some Indiana metropolitan areas would not have grown and others would have seen greater population losses, according to a recent study.
As the population ages and the number of those in their early- to mid-working years decline, immigrants in Indiana and cities across the Midwest are filling a void, according to The Chicago Council on Global Affairs in what it calls the first analysis of immigration trends in Midwestern metro areas from 2000 to 2010.
Of the population gain in Allen County, more than one in four newcomers was an immigrant, according to the council�s census analysis.
As the debate over immigration stalls in Congress, the report concludes that Midwest communities should work to fully integrate immigrants into economic, labor and civic processes. It calls for policies �that fully recognize immigration as an asset, not a burden, to the region.�
The council is a nonpartisan organization �committed to educating the public � and influencing the public discourse � on global issues of the day,� according to its website.
For decades, legal and illegal immigration has replenished the decline in native-born residents.
But in recent years the drop in undocumented, or illegal, immigrants has slowed immigration, which will lower the number of consumers, students and workers in many communities, said Rob Paral, the report�s author.
�What�s going to happen is there will be quite a few number of places that are going to go into an even slower growth phase than they have been,� Paral said in a phone interview. �Putting aside whatever you think about undocumented immigration, just as a mathematical factor it kept your numbers up.�
While the Midwest�s share of the nation�s population has declined over the last 50 years, a million immigrants have helped to slow that decline, according to the report. Those foreign-born residents include naturalized citizens, legal residents, temporary visitors and illegal immigrants.
The report looks at 71 metropolitan areas � often consisting of more than one county � in 12 Midwestern states, where immigration accounted for 38.4 percent of growth between 2000 and 2010. It calls immigration a �lifeline� that will help �maintain the vitality� of metro areas.
In Indiana, Terre Haute and South Bend would have declined in population if not for immigrants, according to the report. More than half the population gains reported in metropolitan Chicago; Akron, Ohio; Lansing, Michigan; and Saint Joseph, Missouri, are attributed to immigration.
Allen County grew by nearly 26,000 people, according to the report. While the native-born population grew about 10 percent, the foreign-born population grew 51 percent. In Indianapolis, the immigrant population more than doubled.
Most of the county�s foreign born are either from Asian countries or from Latin America or Central America. The single largest group is from Mexico.
Palermo Galindo, president of the Greater Fort Wayne Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, moved to Fort Wayne in the early 1990s.
In the last 20 years, Hispanic businesses have expanded from the traditional markets � grocery stores and restaurants among them � to car dealerships, cleaning services, hair salons and others, he said, adding that the chamber membership has grown �tremendously.�
�If you walk down Broadway, Creighton, Calhoun (streets), tax services, insurance companies. I mean, there�s all this growth in our community,� he said. �So there�s definitely an impact.�
A focal point in the council�s report is the aging Midwest. Baby boomers are retiring and the prime-working age group 35-44 declined 20.6 percent in the Midwest � 17.5 percent in Allen County. While immigrants are generally young, they often don�t have the needed skills to fill jobs, Paral said.
�What do you do to give them those skills?� Paral said.
In addition, Indiana, like most Midwestern states, has slow demographic growth, which affects economic and fiscal policy.
�The other thing is, this idea only now is beginning to get more attention, is what happens when these baby boomers leave the working age?� Paral said.
�People haven�t really realized that there is a vacuum behind them.�

Polson (Mont.) Superintendent Linda Reksten says the 42-year-old roof at Polson High School has to be fixed. "There is no other option," Reksten says, but it will be up to School District 23 voters whether they'll pay for it. No one else is going to. Ballots seeking a yea-or-nay vote on a nearly $2.5 million debt service bond were mailed out Feb. 5.
Darien parents urged the Board of Education not to cut spending for school technology at a public hearing Tuesday. "Technology is an integral part of the learning that goes on each day in our schools," said Susan Vogel, co-chair of the Council of Darien School Parents.

There is a large problem with mandated tutoring in Florida: The program pays public money to people with criminal records, and to cheaters and profiteers who operate virtually unchecked by state regulators.
School officials in Santa Ana were in a bind several years ago: they wanted to build hundreds of new classrooms, but feared that voters would rebel against tax increases to pay for the construction.
Running a school isn't easy or cheap--and it's especially difficult if you try to do it on the approximately $6,000 per student that Nevada provides to public and charter schools.
When State District Judge John Dietz sided with school districts in their lawsuit over state funding, he cited three primary reasons to support public education: civic, altruistic and economic.

Red River football: Texas claimed Big 12 championship with an *
Trying to defuse a controversy over claiming a Big 12 championship they didn't win, the Texas Longhorns removed "2008*" from a wall listing their Big 12 titles, the Austin American-Statesman reported Monday.
Texas spokesman John Bianco told the Statesman that Longhorns coach Mack Brown was unaware 2008 with an asterisk had been posted on a wall inside the Moncrief-Neuhaus training facility. "Obviously there was a lot of discussion about the two teams playing for the Big 12 title being two teams we'd beaten," Bianco said Monday. "The kidding around became a misunderstanding as an instruction to post it on the wall (of the meeting room). It was clearly not the intent of Mack to post it." Following Monday's spring practice, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was asked what he thought about Texas claiming the 2008 Big 12 championship on its wall with an asterisk. "It doesn't much matter to me at all, I don't much care," Stoops said. "I know there isn't (an asterisk) on ours. And I know where the trophy is. I'm not worried about anyone else and what they've got." Last season, OU edged out Texas and Texas Tech for the South title in a tiebreaker determined by the BCS Standings, despite ardent protests from Brown and the Texas fan base. The Longhorns claimed that because they defeated OU head-to-head, they deserved to go to the Big 12 title game — despite the fact they also lost to Texas Tech, which created the three-way tie among the one-loss Big 12 teams. On the last week of the regular season, Texas fans even paid for a flyover in Stillwater before the Bedlam game to remind voters of Texas' 45-35 win over OU in the Cotton Bowl.

Waitstaff was extremely nice! Ordered a big salad to go. Lettuce/tomatoes were nothing special but the grilled chicken was really good. It came with a giant soup which was also pretty good.

I haven't visited the 3 Decker in about 40 years, but it is fresh in my memory. We didn't have a lot of money, so this was our version of Fine Dining. When my mom worked late, she'd bring home Western Omelet 3 deckers for us. Nothing better on the planet. Once or twice a year, we'd pull out all the stops and she'd take us there for dinner as a special treat. I always ordered the tomato juice, london broil and mashed potatoes, and rice pudding. The waitresses were sweet and would always give kids an extra spritz of canned whipped cream on their desserts. I can't believe athe 3 Decker is still around, and my favorites are still on the menu. I guess you can go home again...even if it's just a virtual trip down memory lane. This makes up for the loss of the New Garden Chinese Restaurant, home of the world's greatest fried rice.

Wonderful, food, service, and value! A typical American diner experience. i have been coming here for a long time and enjoying all three meals of the day. the staff is quick, honest, and VERY VERY friendly. The menu is incredibly diverse and everything is worth trying. the prices are fantastic. definetely worth every single penny. I particularly love the grilled cheese, pancakes, waffles, and delicious omelettes! wonderful coffee.

This is your classic diner cuisine. It's run by a greek family, and is a trustworthy place to go for a good, reasonable meal. I usually go here for breakfast, and it's fast, and fresh and I have never been disappointed!

It's not easy to find delivery places in Greenpoint, especially for breakfast. This place is cheap, they give you plenty of food, and are very timely and nice.
Posted by Sam on 03/07/2008
I should have had the breakfast, as itt may be what they do best. Instead I got a reuben and it was just short of awful. Not impressed with the hash browns either. Both edible, but not much more. Oh well, it was fast, friendly and cheap (for breakfast at least). Still, there are better places in Greenpoint.

Product description
The world has many pressing problems. Thanks to the efforts of governments, NGOs, and individual activists there is no shortage of ideas for resolving them. However, even if all governments were willing to spend more money on solving the problems, we cannot do it all at once. We have to prioritize; and in order to do this we need a better sense of the costs and benefits of each 'solution'. This book offers a rigorous overview of twenty-three of the world's biggest problems relating to the environment, governance, economics, and health and population. Leading economists provide a short survey of the analysis and sketch out policy solutions for which they provide cost-benefit ratios. A unique feature is the provision of freely downloadable software which allows readers to make their own cost-benefit calculations for spending money to make the world a better place.

On 29 March 1912, 100 years ago today, Robert Falcon Scott wrote his last diary entry on his return from the South Pole. He and his polar party team never returned from their epic Terra Nova expedition.
Their bodies were found with 16kg of geological samples. These rocks were important scientific specimens that the team had collected and hauled along on their arduous Antarctic journey.
The rocks and Scott's incredible story of human endeavour were the inspiration for a group of servicemen and women who have just returned from their own Spirit of Scott expedition.
Today they were united with some of these rock specimens at the Natural History Museum's exhibition, Scott's Last Expedition.

The team are from the British Services Antarctic Expedition (BSAE) and include Expedition Leader Lieutenant Colonel Paul Edwards, who explains why the rocks, and Scott and his team, were so inspiring.
'Because Scott refused to let go of these key specimens, even when he knew that he was probably doomed. He clearly understood their importance and refused to ditch them until the last, realising that they would probably be recovered with the dead bodies of him and his companions. A brave man until the last.'
Fossilised extinct plant Glossopteris indica collected on Scott's expedition helped to reveal Antarctica was once part of a supercontinent.
As well as the rocks, more than 40,000 other scientific specimens were collected on Scott's Terra Nova expedition and are now looked after at the Museum. They made important contributions to what we know about the geology and biology of Antarctica.
For instance, fossils found inside rocks, such as the extinct plant fossil Glossopteris indica, showed that there were forests there in the past, and helped provide evidence that Antarctica had once been part of the supercontinent Gondwana.
Lieutenant Commander Paul Hart adds, 'Knowing that Scott had given his all,' adds Hart, 'and that these rocks went on to provide evidence for the theory of continental drift was, for me, a real inspiration. These rocks went on to be fundamental to our understanding of the planet.'
David Smith talks to one of the servicemen and his son about the rocks Scott and his team collected
The servicemen followed the spirit, rather than the footsteps, of the 1910-1913 expedition, conducting their own scientific exploration in their Spirit of Scott expedition.
Hart says about their return, 'I feel greatly elated. After 3 years of planning it, I'm so pleased that everyone came back safely and the scientific objectives were achieved.'
This included the installation of GPS receivers at 2 locations on the western Antarctic Peninsula. 'These will be left for up to 5 years as part of the BSAE science legacy to measure the earth's crust uplifting due to ice melt over the Peninsula' says Lieutenant Commander Martin Densham, also part of the team.
They also drilled 11 ice cores, 9 metres deep, by hand. They recorded temperatures at 1m intervals. 'This will provide readings to show that the eastern part of the Peninsula is warming at an increased rate and that this is leading to the melting of the Larsen Ice Shelf,' adds Densham.
In his last diary entry, Scott wrote, 'We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker, of course, and the end cannot be far. It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more.'
The deaths of Scott and his team were tragic, but their work has left a lasting impact in the fields of science and exploration, and their story of human endurance and bravery continues to inspire today.
From stunning photos of landscapes, equipment and daily life in the hut, to diary extracts recounting incredible feats of endurance, get the full story in our new book Scott's Last Expedition.

'Vicious cycle' of malnutrition hurting Indonesia's moms, kids
Child health in Indonesia remains a major challenge largely because of malnutrition, although maternal health is improving, a key international report says.
The State of the World's Mothers Report 2012, released this week by the nongovernmental organisation Save the Children, had Indonesia 70th out of 83 countries in its Child Index Rank.
The country was also 46th out of 81 in the Women's Index Rank. The rankings combine to make Indonesia the 59th best country to be a mother out of a total of 80 developing countries.
Indonesia's low ranking on child health was blamed on widespread malnutrition, which has resulted in moderate to severe stunting in 40 percent of children under the age of five.
The report noted that Indonesia was among the countries "that are underperforming [on child nutrition] relative to their national wealth [GDP]."
"There has been good economic growth across Southeast Asia in the last decade, but the results show that strong policies and investments targeted at improving maternal and child health, education and women's rights are necessary," said Michel Anglade, Save the Children's campaigns and advocacy director in Asia.
The report highlights "a vicious cycle of how mothers, who may themselves have been stunted in childhood, go on to give birth to underweight babies who have not been adequately nourished in the womb."
"If a mother is impoverished, overworked, poorly educated and in poor health, she may not be able to feed the baby adequately. The damage caused by malnutrition before the age of two is largely irreversible," the group said in a news release, adding that while leaps had been made in reducing child mortality, stunting remained a problem in Southeast Asia as a whole.
The health ministry acknowledged the high prevalence of child stunting, citing the lack of attention given to mothers during pregnancy.
"Stunting is a problem that was not too widely known in Indonesia until a few years ago. We admit that," Minarto, the ministry's director for nutrition education, told the Jakarta Globe.
"In the past few years, we were still grappling with severe malnutrition cases in some parts of the country, so we were focused more on the children instead of the pregnant women. But we have since expanded the scope of our campaign."
He said stunting could happen if the mother did not receive proper nutrition during pregnancy or if she did not visit the doctor regularly. The ministry says it has allocated Rp 700 billion ($76.3 million) annually to tackle the issue.
The ministry's 2010 Basic Health Research survey found that 35.6 percent of Indonesian children under the age of five were stunted. It has set a target of cutting that figure to 32 percent by 2014.
"We're on our way and there's a possibility that we might exceed the target with our current programme," Minarto said, referring to the ministry's campaign to raise awareness about the importance of proper nutrition throughout the mother's pregnancy and until the child turns two years old.
Save the Children also noted that "the best method for protecting the pregnant mother and her baby from the vicious cycle of malnutrition is to focus on the child's first 1,000 days starting from pregnancy."
With proper nutrition after birth, Minarto said, stunting could be corrected or at least minimised.
"Children who don't get proper nutrition during pregnancy and are born stunted can still catch up during their golden age, which is until they turn two. Given the proper nutrition, they can improve. It might not be perfect, but it's good enough," he said.
Minarto also said that stunting was a complicated problem.
"It's mostly related to poverty and lack of education, but sometimes it's pure ignorance because the parents don't have any knowledge of proper nutrition," he said.
Subagyo Partodiharjo, a medical doctor who leads the health caucus at the House of Representatives, said that dangerous child-rearing myths were also responsible for the severity of the malnutrition problem in Indonesia.
Pregnant women are typically told not to eat certain types of food during pregnancy or when breast-feeding. That misconception, he said, often prevents them from getting the proper nutrition they need during those key periods.

Trouble using the MacPro
View Single Post
Member Since: Jun 21, 2011
Posts: 3
Hi all,
I have a MacPro 3.1 of which I already read quite a bit on this forum
I use a Philips 19" CRT monitor on the system (yes, I know...). Strange things are happening.. Oh, my previous harddisk is gone, so I replaced it, but it should have nothing to do with what's going on.
I start up the system, nice bong, but white screen. Nothing else. No flashing lights and everything responds. I stuffed in an Ubuntu Alternate AMD64 CD and it installed like a charm. Textmodes are fine. Weirdly, after it boots X, lots of artifacts appear. But it's not always like that! Some boots, everything is fine. Even though I can't work out what I'm actually booting, because of that white screen.
Booting a MacOSX DVD is the same. It takes some time, booting the DVD with the C pressed down, and the Apple logo appears and so does the star like thing... Unfortunately, my present DVD seems to be damaged, so the install process doesn't continue, but the Mac was given to me by a friend who DOES have a proper DVD, but same problems there. White screen, nice looking graphics and suddenly, everything crooked.
It seemed to me, if the videocard is broken, why do some videomodes, most of the time, work properly, also the high resolution ones? And where does that starting white screen come from?
Hope anyone can shed some light on all of this.... It's frustrating not to be able to use this great machine..
Cheers, Bas.

Select Offenders will be reviewing this summer's crop of Hollywood tentpole films with a scientifically tested set of criteria that was vetted, nurtured, dissected and regurgitated through the pop-culture gadflies who have nothing better to do than annoy other productive people in the YOMYOMF office. So, we channeled their nitpicks of the incessant reboots, remakes and rehashes that are part and parcel with Hollywood summer movies into this ongoing summer blog series called the SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER SHOWDOWN.
Since we're a little late in the game (we're already heading into July), we're going to play catch-up this week with a series of blogs about the films that have been released already. In this edition, we discuss the sequel, 22 JUMP STREET.
BTW, this roundtable review is chock full of spoilers. You've been warned!

Myth: There are great deals at airport duty-free shops.
Reality: Put the liquor down. Ditto with the giant chocolate bar and the carton of cigarettes. Duty-free shops at airports make large profits because travelers assume they're getting bargains. People in transit are probably looking to unload some of their unused foreign currency, too. But The Duty-Free Price Guide, which compares duty-free prices around the world, reveals that the cost of duty-free merchandise varies widely. More of a concern is the fact that those same goods are often cheaper if bought in, say, New York or Hong Kong, rather than a duty-free shop in Zurich or Moscow.
Current Advice: Never assume prices are cheaper because they're in a store marked "duty-free."

Not good for laxative

Once I discovered that Now had castor oil capsules couldn't wait to try them since the liquid is very unpleasant to take. I give Now an A+ for effort, but if you are looking to use this as a laxative stick with the liquid form and don't waste your money. An adult serving of the liquid form is 1 to 4 tablespoons for laxative purposes. However, these capsules contain only 1/8 teaspoon each. I gave it two tries: 10 capsules at once and 1 tablespoon equivalent at once - came up with bupkis each time. One would probably have to consume the entire bottle (or almost) for laxative results. A more pleasant way to take the liquid: Take a tablespoon at a time mixed with 1T of lemon juice, quickly swallow while pinching the nose so you don't smell the castor oil - works like a charm; or mix the entire amount you want to take in a fruit smoothie and drink it down.

I control my dogs' parasites with this, 2 per day ,a and for the lower gut I freeze them, that way they are releasing further on down the gut..same is true for me, and you can take more in the dose if you have capsules frozen, up to four at a time without upsetting the bowels.Dogs look better and i fancy it helps with fleas too but not sure yet.
Castor oil is Amazing!

There are many uses and cures using castor oil. I was drinking the liquid stuff which is absolutely disgusting! when i found out there were capsules i could take instead i nearly fell off my chair! this stuff has been a real life saver for me in many ways. Im actually using it for a stubborn cough that i have and it has helped tremendously! it works great. still figuring out what else it could do to improve my health.
Good Product
Reviewer1708018님께서 Apr 06, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다.
My Ayurvedic doctor suggested taking castor oil capsules daily to keep your digestion and elimination healthy. These are easy to swallow and I haven't had any problems with these capsules (I normally have trouble taking any kind of oil-filled capsules because they dissolve and make me queasy). I take 2 at night before bed with a glass of warm water. They can also be used as an occasional laxative and are never harsh.

Plug-In City Lives!
Wednesday, April 21, 2010
William Menking.
Dennis Crompton and Michael Webb plugged into the London launch of the Archigram website on Monday from New York City via a Skype connection to Westminster University. The two Archigrammers were meant to be present at the launch, but the Eyjafjallajökull volcano grounded their planes and kept them from joining Peter Cook and David Greene, who was scheduled to be at the event. So Crompton walked the assembled Londoners through the website from his Skype-enabled computer screen in Lower Manhattan. Crompton pointed out the significant but still burgeoning content to be found on the site and was able to see and hear the audience reacting to the virtual tour on his screen, while the audience watched Dennis and Michael on their large screen. Westminster organizers Kester Rattenbury, Clare Hamman, and Murray Fraser described the cross-Atlantic evening as "very Archigram," but Cook was not sure if something was missing, and wondered if the real Archigram spirit was not more alive in various out-of-the-way pockets of experiment and energy than on this evening on Regent Street. For his part, Webb thanked those who worked on the site and came out to the event, but Greene was nowhere to be seen or heard—at least on this side of the Atlantic. A second launch in New York with Archigrammers reporting from London is in the works—and perhaps Greene might even walk us through his version of the site?
4 Responses to "Plug-In City Lives!"
Actually, (apart from the volcano, the dog and skype, which was what I had in mind) what I think is 'very Archigram' is the activity the site is generating — the absolute forest of tweeting and blogging — now that really does feel Archigrammy!
Yes good point! Who is collating all this activity?
You have done a great job so far!

Committee on conference
If the House and Senate ever disagree, a small committee made up of senators and representatives - from both sides of the issue - works to create a compromise. This is a
committee on conference
. In Connecticut, these committees are very rare. This is because all committees are joint committees; House and Senate members have worked together to create the bills and have worked out many differences in committee already.
There are two ways that a conference committee can be created:
A chamber amends a bill which is then rejected by the second house. If the first chamber readopts the amendment, a conference committee is created by default.
Sometimes joint standing committees give joint favorable reports to different versions of the same bill. If the House and Senate vote on different versions of the same bill, a conference committee may be created to sort out the differences.
The conference committee creates a report which is either rejected or accepted by the House and Senate.

A Day at the Trade Show. Yeehaw.
These rodeos are great fun, especially when there's a western trade show to keep you busy in between events. I got into all sorts of trouble, including picking up a real, live cowboy hat for myself. I've never had a real one before; they've all been urban-cowboy-wannabe-made-in-China straw hats with silly little city girl adornments all over them. But not any more.
Here's the guy, shaping it according to Missy, The Real Cowgirl Around Here's specifications. There's no way I'd buy a real cowboy hat without Missy walking me through it.
Sometime I'll tell you what size my head is. You won't believe it. Hey, I've gotta have someplace to put all these bizarre thoughts I have.
And I'm sorry, but stick a fork in me—I'm done. How cute are THESE?
I think they start out small enough for infants and go up from there. I started lactating just looking at them.
Then my oldest girl hopped on a saddle, which was perched on a wooden rocking horse. She looks a little bored, doesn't she? I guess there's nothing like the real thing.
We also checked out the photography of a local artist. Her stuff was really amazing: dusty, sepia-toned, and printed on canvas, which is my next frontier to explore.
But wait…what the…WHAT THE…
WHAT THE…What in TARNATION is going on here?
Remember this? Marlboro Man snapped it a few weeks ago, and apparently, this (okay, pretty dadgum good) photographer lady chick dame gal was hiding behind the one tree on our ranch, spying and getting ideas. And she almost got away with it.
People never cease to astound me.

Ummm…where's the picture of YOU wearing your new hat?!?!? LOL.
sue g On Tuesday, November 13 at 7:17 pm
keeping in mind that there is no such thing as an "original idea", Ree you can see how loyal your fans are by their response!
I agree with the others that showing your photos at a western trade show would widen your exposure–gallery owners, etc. I've heard the silver show in Denver is awesome, too.
Do we egt to see your hat, so we can see the style you chose? Looks like your galchild got a new one too. New hats all around?
kelly On Tuesday, November 13 at 7:36 pm
didn't read all those comments but I bet everyone else wants to see a photo of you modeling the hat while on horseback!
Nancy On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:02 pm
I love all the pictures.
MM's bulls look seriously up in each other's stuff…ready to fight to the death for that sassy cow.
Meanwhile, the sepia bulls just make me smile 'cause it looks like they are saying, "whaddya' wanna' do?"
"i dunno'…whadda' YOU wanna' do?"
"ummmm,i dunno, whadda' youuuuu want to do?"
"let's just think about it for a while….."
Tiger Lamb Girl On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:06 pm
That's hilarious! (shhh, don't tell her I said so, but I like MM's photo best;-)).
Patsy M. On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:11 pm
Yes bulls do that alot, so do goats, roosters, dogs and most anymale. I've even seen my hubby and his brother standing not head to head, but beer belly to grocery gut(mine doesn't drink). I have grandsons that start butting heads at about age 3.
I print alot on canvas, mostly portraits of kids. Some pics just call for it and some don't.
keep it up, yeah you sould of had a show at the trade show. I love those trade shows with rodeos and dog shows, I just drool too much and people stare!!
Brandi On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:14 pm
Nice hat Ree…we would love to see a picture of you wearing it.
Debbie W. On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:17 pm
Don't ya just hate it when you have such a great,original idea and then you find out that someone else had the same idea that you did?
Sometimes, this world really is a small place!
Doesn't change the fact that you are an adorable, original, middle-child!
Julie On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:18 pm
Wow, What about the cowboy shaping the hat…I think I may have enjoyed him the most…sorry Ree! Also just as mentioned before, if you haven't been to the NFR in Vegas you HAVE to GO! I grew up in Vegas (yes I am a bonafide city girl) and I LOVE the NFR…Maybe I actually love all the cowboys that come with it…not to mention the Cowboy Christmas at the Convention Center…You would DIE.
Maria On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:21 pm
Omigod, I am laughing so hard at all of the comments (mine included) asking what the fringey things are. Ree, I know you answered it above. But we are just so darned silly.
"Hey, Ree! What are those cute, colorful fringey thingies? Are they something you eat? Are they diapers? Some new-fangled vegetable? Some kinda fancy underwear?"
Haa-ha hee-heeeee!!! I looove your readers. We all need to start singing Cumbaya.

Emelia On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:36 pm
Dear Ree,
Thank you.
Thank you for your blog. I am a new reader who has found hours of inspiration and enjoyment from it.
Thank you for your recipes. They are delicious.
The only thing that may not thank you is my arteries, because your twice baked potatoes are so darn good and so darn addictive. I think I may have eaten my way towards a heart attack.
reagan On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:43 pm
I have to say, I like your photograph of the bulls better! I know they are the same subject but yours just has something to it that the other one doesn't! maybe it's the full body shot in yours. Anyways I like MM's version better.
Anne On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:56 pm
Yeah, what they said! Better pic, cute punk, big head, see hat, ya know, what they said.
"Not sure how backlit calf nuts would go over for the holidays though." Hahahahahaha!
momto3cubs On Tuesday, November 13 at 9:59 pm
Don't we get to see you wearing the hat?
MM, your photo is better.
Ree, you could sell a million of your photos at the next rodeo.
Shannon On Tuesday, November 13 at 9:59 pm
Every girl needs a cowboy hat!
Pianomum On Tuesday, November 13 at 11:26 pm
I'm thinkin' that you are talking about your photo—-you also had it being shown at the trade show! Right?~! A great one, by the way. And I like it better too!. And, I like your gray-green hat too. Pianomum
Francie On Tuesday, November 13 at 11:33 pm
I love your site! I was really hoping you were an Oklahoma gal or at least your ranch was in Oklahoma. I noticed on of pics the tag was green & white and Oklahoma. Yea! Greatest place on earth!!
Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die I'll be Sooner dead.
So many super talented folks from Oklahoma!! Toby, Reba, Brooks and Dunn and now Pioneer Woman!!
Shelley On Wednesday, November 14 at 12:03 am
Hey Ree – Have you ever seen the paintings of Bonnie Mohr? I go to World Dairy Expo every year and she exhibits and her work is incredible. I thought of it when you said printing on canvas is something you'd like to try. She really captures the rural life. Google her and check out her stuff, I think great artistic people really appreciate others art.
Shelley On Wednesday, November 14 at 12:05 am
I would guess the ranch is in Oklahoma…Hyacinth has the accent of North Texas or Oklahoma.
Shelley On Wednesday, November 14 at 12:12 am
Ya know Ree, you ought to think about exhibiting at one of the industry conventions. NCBA (National Cattlemens Beef Association) is in Reno this year in early February. I'd bet you'd make a killing! Just something to ponder, I don't know if you can stretch yourself any further!
Laquet On Wednesday, November 14 at 12:13 am
Wait … did she steal your actual photo? I hope you "cow girl/boy kick" her arse!
ME On Wednesday, November 14 at 12:25 am
It's ask Ree a question time:
Do the older children (yours and Missy's) compete in Junior Rodeos or Play Days?
Cama On Wednesday, November 14 at 1:35 am
How cute are the pink chaps??? Just adorable. Ree, get that hat on and post a cowgirl picture for us! About the bulls..well, that's just…bull….
trashalou On Wednesday, November 14 at 1:41 am
Ha! has that dodgy cow photographing woman never heard of IPR? You could challenge her to a picture-taking duel of rural subjects. You would wup her arse!
Krista On Wednesday, November 14 at 6:17 am
sneaky-photographer-lady's cows are all wrinkled and old… yours are clearly superior!!!
Joan On Wednesday, November 14 at 6:19 am
Merv Griffin chose Vanna White to turn letters on The Wheel of Fortune because her head is way out of proportion to her body, and Merv equated that with STAR POTENTIAL.
So Ree, I think you're looking at a future in show business!
Isn't that good news?
Annette On Wednesday, November 14 at 6:35 am
I read several of your posts and they are great. Just wanted to leave you a comment and let you know. I am glad Angi sent me over here!
wkf On Wednesday, November 14 at 6:55 am
Good looking hat. Do we get to see it on? Or at least the final shape of it?
Kaysie On Wednesday, November 14 at 7:11 am
Good lord the Resistol guy is HOT!!
cecedon On Wednesday, November 14 at 7:56 am
cows must do that a lot.
Heidi the Hick On Wednesday, November 14 at 8:10 am
Man, I have GOT to get to a western trade show some day…wow. Those little chink chaps are so cute! Too bad my kids are almost my size now!
I"m planning on attending a 4 day Ontario Equestrian Conference this month. They're running a prep course as part of my riding instructor's requirements. There's also a trade show. It won't be a western trade show, though, because I think more people ride english up here, and we don't have a whole lot of ranching activities, y'know? But they'll have tack. I wish I had more cash.
I agree on getting a look at the new hat! I"m so glad you graduated up from the city girl mall hat. You are officially the real deal. I love my straw stetson so much I've been known to wear it to the beach!
Laurie On Wednesday, November 14 at 8:10 am
Hi, Ree. I just discovered your blog and am loving it! Very funny and great photography. I am an east coast girl who moved to suburban Denver a while back.
Skeller On Wednesday, November 14 at 8:48 am
Oh, I do so love your Blog. Thank you for sharing your life, your photos, your recipes with us. I smile ear to ear each day as I read…
About canvas … be sure and check out Nate & Jaclyn's studio (the post is on 11.07.07). They have stunning canvases.
tj On Wednesday, November 14 at 8:56 am
…Hello Ree! Love the hat & the color you chose…and I have to agree with everyone else on here that you should post a photo of you wearing it. Maybe let MM have the camera and get a nice photo of you on your horse with your new hat? Ree, yes? ;o)
…But I so don't care for the other artist's photo – just something about it seems 'funky'. It just doesn't do anything for me like the one that MM shot…JMHO… :o)
…Great stuff & thank you for sharing! Love the lil' chaps too – adorable!
…Blessings you all… :o)
Amy in PA On Wednesday, November 14 at 8:57 am
Chiming in late to say, Ditto, we need pics of you in your new hat.
MM's photo looks nicer (to me) because it seems like he snapped it right when they put their heads together and just before they started grinding skulls. It's why his photo looks so much more symmetrical. The unknown lady's photo looks liked they'd been pushing each other around for a bit.
tj On Wednesday, November 14 at 8:59 am
…I just came across this comment and giggled! Is that true 'Joan'? Wait 'til I tell my sister (she has a big melon too)… Too funny! ;o)
Joan says:

dama On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:00 am
ahhh, in her pic, it looks to me like a father – son discussion. The son, sounding a little desparate, says "Hey, ol' man, you're a washed up, burnt out, has been, move on over an' let me do the j-o-b…!"
The ol' man responds, "Huh, looky here kid, yore blowin' smoke, this here's my J-O-B an there jes ain't no way ye' is anywhere big enough to move me oughten yore way!!
In MM's pic Joe and Sam (I'm pretty sure their twins) are havin' a confab. Joe says to Sam, "Shore enuff, we shore do have a right big job to do hyer, an to make shore we cover each and every one o' these hyer purty ladies, you head left an ah'll head right, an shore we'll meet up yonder on the other side o' this hyer pasture!"
So off they go, "Wham bam, thankee ma'm, wham bam, thankee ma'm, wham bam, thankee ma'm, wham bam, thankee ma'm . . . wham bam . . . hot damn!!! . . . is that you Sam?"
Yep, I remember that from way back when I was a lil' ol' kid, livin' on a ranch. From the evidence I saw, I'm pretty sure that IS the way it happened.
SpokaneMama On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:04 am
So let's see what the hat looks like on your "unbelievably-sized" head! By the way, I like your bull picture better. Better symmetry between the bulls. Also, does she homeschool, run more than one crazy blog, and cook awesome food that fills our midsection while being an amazing photographer? Huh? huh?
Lux On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:16 am
show us the hat ree.
Susan On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:30 am
All this time on the ranch and you finally got yourself a real hat?
Miz Booshay On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:35 am
it's true!
Look at Pat Sajack's head. He too, looks like a bobble-head.
And look at Kelly Ripa. Another bobble-head.
A darling bobble-head. But still.
Big bobble head.
Marissa On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:42 am
Thanks so much for sharing the photos – all those pretty little chaps are soooo adorable!
Your eldest is beautiful!
I have to see you in your hat, I'm sure you'll look like the pioneer woman that you are!
Andrea On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:54 am
Oh I just love rodeos and trade shows!! And wow that man can shape my hat any day!! I love those little chaps!! The pink ones are so pink!!! Love them. Wow your daughter really cleans up nice!! Roedo queens watch out!! Love rodeo shopping!!!
Erica J. On Wednesday, November 14 at 9:55 am
For the record, I like MMs photo of the bulls much, much better. Her photo kind of grosses me out with the closeup showing all those rolls of fat on their chins…
woodlandqueen On Wednesday, November 14 at 10:15 am
Nice hat.
good color…Im surprized you didnt go after one of those ariat bling belts too?
Just to blind the bulls like wonder woman when you are out snapping photos…
Baby chinks & chaps just make me want to talk grandbabies, which unfortunately my daughters think im nuts; they are still in the "Ree; California stage"…
Carol On Wednesday, November 14 at 10:52 am
Lurkers! Unbelievable!
Hello? You're NOT going to post a photo of you in your first REAL cowgirl (Hhhmmm, cow woman sounds horrible!) hat? I want to see!! I'm sure Missy did a great job (she has those GREAT boots after all), but I still want to see! Tomorrow?
Nett On Wednesday, November 14 at 10:52 am
We MUST see you in the new hat! Please?!
Oh, and I wear a 7 5/8. Can you beat that? It's the same size as my first and second husband:) Silly!
Your bull-pic is MUCH better! You could make a fortune selling your prints, I'm convinced. Maybe you already do……
Love, love, love your cookin'. Keep up the fabulous work!
Joy On Wednesday, November 14 at 11:01 am
If it's any consolation, Ree, I love your cow photo better. And besides, the eyes of the ones from the other pic look like they've been TOLD to pose…'know what I mean?
When will we see you in the new hat?
Rachelle H On Wednesday, November 14 at 11:47 am
You absolutely have to do Pixel2Canvas. They are the BEST at everything from workmanship to customer service. There is an add at the "other" website I frequent.
Ranching at the end of the dirt road On Wednesday, November 14 at 1:19 pm
Too funny Ree! I too visited that booth and thought, :Hey, that's MM's photograph! I visited with the artist at length (she's from California but her pictures were taken in Texas, New Mexico and Canada)~ the printing on canvas medium intrigued me. You'll have to explore that ~ your photos would look so cool on canvas!
And I'm with you ~ love the Trade Shows!
maize hutton On Wednesday, November 14 at 1:30 pm
I'd buy a hat just so I could watch that cutie shape it for me!
BOSSY On Wednesday, November 14 at 4:05 pm
Ohhhh Ree – you and Bossy really are sisters from another mother… Bossy has a ginormous head as well. Don't feel bad though – so do most actors.

Looooove the site!
Denise On Thursday, November 15 at 6:34 pm
Ree, You sooo need to go check out Blurb.com and make a photography book and cookbook, I just checked them out at BlogWorld Expo and thought immeadiatly of you! go on.. check it out!!
These books are BEeeAU-tiful!!
PixelPi On Sunday, November 18 at 8:31 am
While clearly it is not exactly the same photo, I'm wondering just how close this person came to violating your copyright. I guess that's pretty weak, since bulls probably take that stance quite a bit. But you sell your photos and are a professional photographer. It wouldn't bother me at all to see your photos on the site with a watermark instead of not credited to you on the cover of National Geographic in March.
Meg On Sunday, November 18 at 11:06 am
I'm listening to NPR, waiting for "This American Life" to start, and they just read a line from your last story: "James, it's over … I eat steak now!"
Seriously, it was two seconds ago on "On the Media." Did you know they were gonna do that? The radio reads your blog!
Check it out, maybe they'll re-broadcast it: http://www.onthemedia.org/

Sending a shipment of goods to the port of Luanda, in Angola Africa is not as easy as it may sound….
We arranged a delivery of 23 pallets of goods last week for one of our clients in Luanda – busy shipping port capital of Angola on the West Coast of Africa.
The order is first packed in our warehouse, where we have been storing the goods for our client. Once this is done, we have to raise a packing list pro forma for our client in Angola, who in turn go to their local BIVAC or BUREAU VERITAS offices to get their import licence opened.
BIVAC will then come to our premises and inspect the goods we are proposing to ship, ensuring they are not hazardous and are suitable for shipping.
Final shipping documents are then sent to BIVAC office in France who in turn issue a certificate allowing the job to continue.
Once the client in Angola has paid the necessary import duties, we can hand over the goods to them!
Phew! It's quite a task!
We did a shipment to Nairobi in Kenya last week as well, following the same procedure.
Luanda made headlines last year for being one of the most expensive cities in the world. But St Tropez it is not. Newly purchased yachts moored in Luanda's harbour must navigate rubbish and rusting car parts as they head into the bay. There is a huge problem with poverty and the coast is plagued by shack-like cafes with broken awnings, litter-strewn stretches of beach where gangs roam and street kids beg for food or commit crimes.
Yet Angola boasts a fabulous £15.3 billion worth of international oil reserves – its 'Ouro Negro' or black gold. Oil exports from here make it Africa's second-largest after Nigeria and foreigners are flocking here to work.
Offices and accommodation are in short supply and the expats are overloading the city with their demands. What they find when they get here is a city officially recognised as the most mind- bogglingly expensive in the world.
- Paying £290 a night for a room at the Epic Sana hotel, tourists are still suprised to pay £32 for a room-service hamburger!
- At a street market you can buy fake brand name trainers for £58, (and they're on a stall next to a woman killing chickens with her bare hands.)
- A one-bedroom apartment in the city centre costs £7,500 a month to rent.
- A pizza is £16,
- Tomatoes sell for £7.33 per pound
- Gym membership will set them back a staggering £5,000 a year
For a worldwide shipping service, warehouse storage or European haulage requirement – why not give us a call on 0800 915 2323. Or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
We'd love to hear from you.

Most small appliances like microwaves, blenders and toasters should last around 10 years or more. So if you're within that timeframe, consider fixing instead of replacing it. It is a balancing act though. If you've spent $10 on a toaster, replacing it will probably be more cost-effective than hiring someone to repair it.
Appliance WarrantiesAlways check the warranty before you call a repairman. There's a chance the problem is covered under the warranty, meaning you don't have to pay anything to get the appliance fixed. Be careful, though. Some manufacturers will want to take the appliance away to fix it rather than at your house. Make sure to discuss it with them before they haul it out of your house.
Gas versus ElectricWhether or not the appliance is gas or electric will also affect your bottom line cost. Gas appliances like water heaters, stoves, fireplaces and even refrigerators are more expensive to fix. Repairing gas appliances carries a bit more risk because if they are not done properly, you could have issues with carbon monoxide or fire. Electric appliances cost more to run, but fixing them is more upfront usually than with gas appliances.
Appliance AccessibilityIf your appliance is easy to reach, it will normally be a less expensive fix than if it is hard to reach. Also if the wiring is easy to find and get to, it will normally be less of a labor cost.
Appliance PartsDepending on the age and type of appliance, finding parts may be a task. Parts for rarer appliances, like gas refrigerators, might be more difficult to find and expensive to purchase. Talk to your technician about possibly using used appliance parts to save money. In many instances, this option is just as good as purchasing new.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Lebowski Fest: All but certain to return?
Lebowski Fest, the celebration of all things related to the 1998 Coen Brothers film "The Big Lebowski," has come and gone. And a good time was had by all. But will it be back?
The response was so enthusiastic and the turnout so massive festival co-organizer Scott Shuffit all but confirmed that the event would be returning to the city soon.
The event, which was founded in 2002, travels to different cities several times a year. This was its first visit to Milwaukee.
(Watch my video interview with him here.)
He seemed to be blown away by the way the city embraced, if not personified, the concept of friendly Achievers bound to each other by White Russians, bowling, Walter and the Dude.
And he was gobsmacked by Mayor Tom Barrett naming Friday as Lebowski Day.
Some notes.
- Friday's screening of "The Big Lebowski," the film that started it all was held before a overflow audience of several thousand at Cathedral Square Park. The organizers implied it was the most enthusiastic response the event had ever received.
- Before the screening the event received a proclamation from Mayor Barrett wearing a bowling shirt, with the fest organizers on each side of him dressed as bowling pins.
- The most popular costumes during the weekend were the Dude, of course, and Walter. Although many of those dressed as the Dude were large enough to be Walter. There were bowling shirts aplenty. Several people dressed as The Jesus, including a couple women. And some women and a man or two wore Maude's Wagnerian opera costume. Someone dressed like the notepad in the Jackie Treehorn scene. And a guy dressed as a rug pulled the whole scene together.
- Oh. And then there was this. Bunny. Bowling. Bikini.
- I bowled Saturday night with a group of college kids from Illinois. I rolled a pathetic 79 but had two strikes, one did not count because of a foot fault. No firearms were pulled.
- The White Russians served were a Kahlua brand premix. Kinda cloying. And Bud?? The characters in the film drink Miller.
- Ironically the man who helped bring the festival to Milwaukee Matt Beringer of the Pabst Theater and a devoted Achiever was out of town for the festival at the wedding of a friend. Read about his efforts to bring Lebowski fest here.
- Go to #milwaukeeabides and #lebowskifest to see Twitter accounts of the weekend.
- And chime in below with your comments and observations.

State lawmakers could adopt a statewide texting while driving ban during the upcoming legislative session.
Sen. Peter Wirth (D- Santa Fe) is sponsoring the bill.
Bernalillo County District Attorney Kari Brandenburg said she is also supporting the bill.
Texting will driving currently falls under the state's distracted driving law, but is not addressed directly.
