Olympic Park, Munich

Maybe I was still a kid when it happened, but its story moved me so much that it had been one of my fondest dreams to visit the site of the 1972 Munich Olympics.
There was not much to see except for the site itself. Thus, there were only very few tourists, and most likely, they were there to view the latest models of BMW which was having a car show at the time of our visit.
From Marienplatz, take U3 going to Olympic Zentrum. The stadium is 15-20 minutes on foot from the zentrum.
On 5 September 1972, 11 Israeli athletes competing in the XX Olympiad in Munich and a German Police Officer were killed by terrorists.
The memorial is very probably walked past by many visitors to the Olympic Stadium and Park with no thought given to what it is or why it is there.
If you pass this memorial after reading this section - please stop and pay your respects - the traditional values of the Olympic Games should be well above that of politics!
Its hard to go off the beaten path in a city especially when its one as well laid out as Munich but the most tranquil places we could find were down by the river and in the park opposite the olympic stadium, both made more beautifull by the snow.
Football World Cup 2006 is approaching quickly and Munich is preparing by building a brand new stadium. The existing Olympic Stadium is a beautiful stadium in the middle of a huge park with sport and relaxation facilities, restaurants, beer gradens and a huge tower, built for the Olympic Games in 1972.
Literally the newest HIGHlight on the grounds is a tour on the roof of the stadium. Secured with ropes and hooks you climb the roof, walk along safe steps and footpaths and finaly climbing up to the very top and sit down for a few minutes to enjoy the views.
You might have silght problems if you don't have a head for heights, but apart from that it is totally safe. It's not even climbing but walking causally, looking down at the football pitch, over to the tower, across the park, to the city and mountains in the distance.
Great experience!!! The tour starts with a movie about the construction works of the stadium and especially the roof and overall the whole visit takes about 2 hours. Don't forget to bring a hook to secure your camera to your harness.
The Olympiaturn. The tower next to the Olympic stadium. For DM 3.50 you can go to the top for stunning views of the stadium and the city, if it's a clear day you can see the alps too.
Another great site to visit in Munich, is the Olympic Park and Sports complex, located an easy subway ride from the city center.
You can swim on the Olympic Park swimmingpools for 4DM.

"Standish Treadwell is not like everyone else. Luckily, he's always been able to get by without attracting too much attention. But when a teacher beats a boy, Standish intervenes and is noticed by those working for the Motherland. The Motherland culls those who are different, unwanted, or independent. Standish is different and his grandfather has secrets hidden in the basement -- secrets the Motherland will kill to protect. Both chilling and stunning, Maggot Moon is reminiscent of both 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale. Gardner has created a haunting tale that deserves applause."
— Marika McCoola, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA
On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn t want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell, who has different-colored eyes, who can t read, can t write, Standish Treadwell isn t bright, sees things differently than the rest of the train-track thinkers. So when Standish and his only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big.

This letter to the editor was published in the Ottawa Citizen, December 7, 2012.
Paul Davidson
President and CEO, Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada
Re: McGuinty delivered on education, December 3.
L. Ian MacDonald's opinion piece praises the outgoing Ontario premier for his achievements in education. It is unfortunate, however, that MacDonald digresses into misinformation about job prospects for today's university graduates, particularly in comparison with demand for skilled trades.
From 1990 to 2011 the number of jobs filled by university graduates in Canada more than doubled to 4.5 million from 1.9 million, while the growth in jobs in the skilled trades grew by only a third. Since 2000, job growth for university graduates has well outpaced that for all other levels of education. Even in booming Alberta, jobs filled by university graduates over the past decade exceed those filled by people with trade certificates by a factor of four to one.
Canada's universities are doing a very good job of preparing graduates for rewarding careers. More than 50 percent of undergraduates have a co-op or internship experience in the workforce. But there is much more to a university experience than job preparation. Universities develop global citizens. They produce lifelong learners; young people who think critically, solve problems and develop new knowledge. Graduates are adaptable to the changes in our labour market.
Canada needs more university graduates. The combination of a huge demographic shift and an increasingly competitive global economy means we need to mobilize all of our resources – including more graduates at all levels of post-secondary education – to build prosperity and secure a high quality of life for the future.

Loss of Dependent Child Status
Most group health plans that provide coverage for the dependent children of employees have rules that define when a dependent child ceases to be eligible to be covered under the plan. Usually, the loss of dependent child status is based on the child reaching a specific age set by the plan. Generally, after reaching this age the child is no longer entitled to the plan coverage that the child had while considered to be a dependent. Some plans may provide an extension of the age limit for children who are enrolled in school. Under the rules of some plans, a child may lose dependent child status once the child marries regardless of the age of the child.
It is important that you review the rules of your group health plan and understand the rules governing dependent child status to determine whether or not you are losing coverage due to the loss of dependent child status.
If you are losing (or recently lost) coverage under a group health plan that is sponsored by your parent's employer, employee organization (such as a union), or both, due to a loss of dependent child status, you may have the opportunity to elect COBRA continuation coverage at group rates from that plan. There may also be other opportunities available to you, such as enrollment in another group health plan or other health coverage obtained outside of the group health plan context.
Before making any decisions, you should carefully consider the information on COBRA continuation coverage and the other coverages for which you may be eligible to determine which one best meets your needs.
Which type of coverage would you like to consider?

The lack of posts has been epic. Sorry life has been just too hectic.
I'll give you a flavor:
Running around. Setting up experiments. Training young rotation students. Off to Microbiology seminar. Off to Cell Biology talk. Off to Montreal. Where next? Vacation? Need to lengthen those telomeres. Paris, Munich, Reykjavik.
Convoluta Roscoffensis.
Need to get data club speaker. Must find new microscope room. Need to get reagent. Try to find protocol. Must get results!
Time to take a break. Flip journal. APC and mRNA? Strange. Too many people study that protein. It does everything and nothing. It's one of these proteins that entices … study me I'm mutated in 50% of colon cancers … but do we understand what it does? I'm not so sure. Maybe it's a sick joke. And mRNA? It's everywhere. It's nowhere. It must be somewhere. BUT WHY? We have no clue. Need a new idea.
Back to the lab. Must get results. No time to write. No time to think. Wake up, eat food, walk to the lab. Pipette liquids up and down. Coffee. Passage cells. Snap pictures. Lunch. Pipette more liquids. Type emails. Call thesis advisor. Call long lost friends. Call doctor. Pipette more liquids.
Need a break. Go to pub. Talk about Systems biology one night. All those posers. They don't know what systems is. All this data, what is it good for? Are we all just number collecting machines? N=200,000 and rising. The result, chaos. No insight. A waste of time. Next night, talk about literature. That Gore Vidal. He's incredible. And did you hear about the giant hotel. But then the same question comes up. How's the blog? Not sure. I neglect it. Bye bye readers. My blog must be dead. Have so many ideas. Big ideas. Big science. Little science. Should I continue with it? Euthanasia? Slow quiet death? Apoptois? Autophagy? Entosis. Back to the lab. And It's 9PM. Pipette more liquids. Split cells. Pipette more liquids. Done (well until tomorrow). Walk back home. Eat food. Try to read. Try to watch Jon Stewart. Forget about elections. Drift to sleep.
My blog. What to do. Maybe I need a change. Maybe audio is the next step. Maybe talk about the little bits of science that I love. How to think about a problem. How we figured out the nature of genetic material. The wonder of subcellular automata. How to think. What is an idea. How we are trapped by our own convenient theories. The tragedy of human mind. We are all trapped by misconstrued ideas. But you meet it head on in a personal way as a scientist. YOU REALY DO. So maybe audio is the way to go. Once a week. So much incredible stuff to talk about, so many great stories. So little available on the net. So much crap on blogs. No wonder the average person is confused and afraid of science. But science can be wonderful. Pondering ideas and how to think about life is so liberating. It gives you a precious and fragile possession, self-knowledge.
I'll have to think about it …
Now where to. Toronto? Really? Let's try.

Comments about Regal Tip Performer Series Brian Tichy TishStix Drumsticks:
These sticks feel great. They have a little extra length than most being 16.5" yet they are pretty light. I love Regal Tip sticks because of the finish on their sticks and the wood quality. They last a pretty long time. In my playing experience in 30+ years, I found that Vic Firth and Pro-mark sticks do not last as long as Regal Tip. Give them a try and see for yourself.

Members of the A.W. Perry Homestead Museum Society, the Civic League, and the Carrollton City Council posed in front of the completed quilt. The Carrollton Centennial Quilt will be on display at various City facilities through August. Commissioned by the A.W. Perry Homestead Museum Society, the Museum's support organization, the Centennial Quilt commemorates the Perry home and the community spirit of Carrollton. The quilt is an "Album Quilt" or "Signature Quilt" made up of signatures from individuals, families and groups who signed on blocks and strips of muslin, that were then incorporated into the quilt's design. Historically, Album Quilts were used to commemorate special occasions or show appreciation. They were even used to raise funds for the needs of soldiers during the Civil War. Before its official display at the A.W. Perry Homestead 100 Celebration, the Society hosted a Quilt Signing event and had squares available at various times for Carrollton residents to purchase and sign as a type of time capsule honoring the last 100 years. The Perry home's Centennial Quilt links the past, present and future of the City of Carrollton. The diversity represented in the names that appear link the community together with each and every stitch. Signers ranged in age from 8 to 93. The Quilt stitches together Carrollton's rich history and vibrant future with signatures incorporated from descendants of some of its earliest settlers as well as some of its newest citizens. The funds raised by the Society were then put to use to support the Museum and its programs. Quilt Display Schedule: JLR Library: March 1-April 19 Senior Center: April 19- June 7 H&J Library: June 7-August 2 The A.W. Perry Museum Society was formed in 2008 by a group of caring citizens interested in preserving the history of Carrollton and the Perry Homestead. The Perry Society received a grant from the Civic League to help fund the project. Fabrication of the quilt was completed by Melba Hamrick of the Old Craft Store located downtown Carrollton. Visit www.theperrysociety.org to learn how you can be a part of the Museum support group. Built in 1909, the home has served as the A. W. Perry Homestead Museum since 1976 and received state historic landmark status in 1977. The Museum is open to the public and offers a glimpse of what Carrollton was like 100 years ago.

Everything Else > Gear
Chuckbox, Patrol Box, Camp Kitchens and Such
(1/11) > >>
I guess this is a discussion thread. If I do this I'll post up a write-up later. Won't happen for a while yet.
Does anyone here have a chuckbox or camp kitchen or something like that for their Jeeps?
Last summer I built a nice cargo deck for my Jeep to help me organize gear in my Jeep much better. It worked awesome for packing the rig. But now that goal has been met I'm moving on to the smaller scale organizational elements. Up next is my "kitchen" as I call it, a big Rubbermaid tote bin that I keep ALL my camping cooking gear in.
It "works" going to and from the campsite but it's a PITA at the campsite. The problem is trying to access anything in the bin since there is no internal organization. It's all a big mess to deal with hauling stuff out of the bin to find what I'm looking for.
So, I'm thinking of making this more organized and probably move away from one general tote bin. Doing some research on camp kitchens I stumbled across things called chuckboxes or patrol boxes. They look like they'd be a fun project to pursue. Only issue is there is a number of different ways of doing so.
Original Idea
My original idea was to build a box or two that could stack on top of each other. I could then set up internal divisions for organization. If each box was not deep then items could be easily accessed. Here's a model I developed with this concept in mind. On idea with this is I could fit more folding legs on the bottom of the unit (like my camp table) so that it could double as an additional table / work surface at the camp site.
Chuckbox Idea
Then I stumbled across the idea of the chuckbox or patrol box. Originally these come from the chuck wagons of the old west where a series of cubbies and a fold down shelf were build into the back of the food wagons. The chuckboxes are a similar idea but incorporated into a self-contained box instead of a wagon. And instead of stacking the boxes like in my idea you fold down the side and you have a series of cubbies for organization. Thinking about this more I like it a lot. I could set it on an edge of the camp cable (cargo deck) and have access to the whole internal contents of the "kitchen". I don't gain much in the way of table space but it might otherwise be more usable.
The Expeditionalportal.com website has a great thread on these.
This is one of the nicer ones finish wise. Note the fold down side with stabilizing chain. If set on the edge of a table it would give another surface to work on, though not for heavy items.
This is another one. More open cubbies and a more open top. I'm not sure how structurally rigid this would be. And they missed the opportunity to fold down the side as a work surface.
Another version. Starting to notice a theme?
This is an OLD one that is based on the Boyscout Patrol Box concept. Not the chunky cleats on the side of the box? Angled legs fit in the cleats to elevate this off the ground. The cleat assembly and legs take up space in the Jeep but I would then have more table space by not having this on my camp table. Sizes of these Patrol Boxes can get big and semi heavy.
This is a more modern Patrol Box but it's smaller. Click the link to see more photos. But here you can see how the legs fit into the side cleats.
This is nicely finished with formica laminate for the top surfaces of the box and folding side panel. Should make clean-up easy. Note, it is sitting on a separate table and has a separate water jug set next to it.
I'm really digging this one. Small, basic, but well thought out. Check out the build thread on Expeditionportal.com. Some nice thought went into this one from an industrial design professional.
Design Considerations
Stove Storage and Use:
A number of chuck boxes set up the stove so it is on the fold out side. This blocks access to the chuckbox interior while cooking. Other boxes put the stove up top. One keen idea had the chuck box top lid open up so one didn't have to move the stove. Care needed to be taken to allow access for the stove's rubber or metal gas supply line to the propane canister. Also, note the blue chuckbox above that incorporates a horizontal brace to help stiffen the box, yet it cuts down to allow acces to the stove controls. Oh, and the guy built a propane canister holder by riviting s steel hook to a 4" PVC pipe cap. Very slick.
I like these chuck boxes but I'm still curious about the rattling. I think a lot of the supplies would rattling on the inside without the cubbies being stuffed with extra towels. Extra towels wouldn't be a bad thing, however. Always handy for cleaning and drying.
Some chuck boxes employ wooden drawers. These can be custom fitted to the box. But their weight adds up. Consider making them out of thinner plywood. The builder of the blue boxes used clear plastic bins instead. Not only can he see the contents of the bins but the bins save weight and can double as wash basins. However, in the even the plastic bins get damaged, how easy or difficult would it be to get replacements of the same size?
Also, a utensil drawer is another common feature of many of these chuck boxes to organize eating utensils.
Weight vs. Strength:
One thing was pointed out in some of these threads is that these boxes can start getting heavy. The blue one weighs 67 lb. when it's fully loaded. And that's with the builder switching to 1/4" plywood internal dividers and such.
Material Choice:
Plywood is a common building material for these boxes and usually in 1/2" thickness. 3/4" is more durable but it also becomes heavier. Load up the chuckboxes with supplies and gear and it could be a bear getting them out of the back of a Jeep. Also, "typical" CDX or even ACX fir plywoods available at home improvement stores are softwood and have a lot of voids so screws won't hold as well. I think it would be wise to invest in a good cabinet shop grade birch plywood. IIRC, Home Depot stocks this for about $40/sheet for 3/4" 4x8 panels. Oh, last note with thinner materials comes weight savings but construction becomes more difficult as there isn't much bite on a 1/2" screw into 1/2" plywood. Some hardware connections may require through bolts and nuts.
I like the integrated handle / gas supply pass through on the blue one above, but I'd think that any openings would allow a lot of trail dust to get into the chuck boxes. For us Jeepers, perhaps a well sealed box would be wise.
Pay attention to sizes of various items you'd want in the chuckbox. I think this would be a tricky trade off for keeping things tight enough to keep the stuff in place and from rattling too much and making things too tight and too specific to a particular model of cookware or whatnot. What if you need to replace a particular item down the road and can't find something that fits? I took some measurements last night:
* Metal camping plate = 10.25" dia x 1" tall
* Metal camping bowl = 6.25" dia x 2.5" tall
* Nesting cook set = 8-10" dia x 6" tall +/- verify
* Paper towel roll = 11" long x 7" dia for a fat roll
* Aluminum foil box = 12.5" x 2" or 2.75" depending on box (2" is common)
* Std. Colman Propane canisters = 8.5" tall x 4" dia
* Long lighter wand = 11.5" long
* 9" Chef's Knife = 13.5" long (tip to handle)
* My two-burner stove = 21.5" x 11" x 3.25" (verify as all stoves are different)
One thing I'm also noticing is that the chuckboxes aren't super deep. They seem to be in the 12-15" deep range. This makes sense. Any deeper and it would be hard to get things out of the cubbies. Same problem I had with my all-in-one tote bin but from the side instead of the top.
Well, that's it for now. This is the research I've accumulated in the last day or so. I'm still not sure how I'd layout a chuck box for myself. My primary stove is a weird 2-burner w/ flip-out grill. It's nice to grill steaks or hot dogs but it takes up a lot of room when set up. Not sure if I'm going to try and make a home for the grill in the chuck box or not. Another alternative is making two chuck boxes. Also, any chuck box could be designed so they are vertical when set on the camp table but can pack flat in the back of the Jeep. Not sure if this makes sense but might be worth exploring the option.
Back in the Scouts, we used patrol boxes quite a bit. Think they were pretty similar to the green or blue one you posted. One nice feature we had were adjustable legs, that worked well on un-even ground.
Something kind of like this:
However, with all the partitions, it wasn't the most efficient use of space. This dead space did allow all the cups, pots, pans, etc to rattle around a bit. Not a big deal when you're hauling them around in the back of a truck. Between the rattles and poor use of space, I'm not sure I'd want to try and put one in the back of my Jeep. I'm also kind of a minimalist though :dontknow
For the rattles, you could try using some rubber traction mats to keep stuff from sliding around and lining the walls with felt, or carpet, or something.
Along similar lines, but on a tangent is Compact Camping Concepts. I plan to build one of these is summer to pull behind the CJ:
I probably won't buy the roof top tent, but will use my existing one and haul it in the trailer. I'm thinking of using 2X2 tubing rather than a HF trailer and YJ springs for the axle, but it will be similar. I think it should work pretty good.
Very cool, Hutch. But I'd like to keep everything self contained in the Jeep for ease of manuverability. However, if my wife wants to join us on our camping trips then I can use my utility trailer and there's no need to worry about storage space: 4x8 trailer w/ 21" tall side panels. And with the tarp on top and lashed down it does a good job keeping things dry, too. :D
Rio, nice leg. And don't take that the wrong way. :P
I'm also worried about the rattling of stuff in the chuck box. That's why I'm thinking if I stuff a bunch of hand towels around things it would help keep the noise down. And then I have hand towels at the camp site. Also, I've found stuff in my TJ doesn't rattle that much. Chalk it up to the progressive rate coil springs and OME shocks. But for general road travel everything is pretty buttoned down. Now, on the trail no doubt things would rattle a lot. But apart from Manastash Ridge and our Naches Trail route to get to the camp site there's no other offroading-to-get-to-the-campsite situation that I know of in WA state.
You are correct that the cubical nature of the chuckboxes may not be as space efficient but properly organized I don't think they'd be that much worse than a big bin. And there's also the value of having things neatly organized and easily accessible that might be worth the space efficiency trade off. I think it's all going to depend on how I construct and design the chuck box.
Hence the reason I picked up my little tent trailer a while ago that is rotting in the back of my house. LOL I just need to get the desire to work on it.

Groundnut ringspot virus (GRSV) was recently identified affecting tomatoes in Florida. GRSV can infect tomato plants at all stages of growth and lead to unmarketable fruits or plant death. GRSV is related to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV; in the tospovirus group), which has been present in North Florida (and much of the southeastern United States) since the mid-1980s.
Symptoms typical of tospovirus infection have been sporadically observed on tomato plants in the Homestead area of Miami-Dade County in South Florida for about a decade, but TSWV (the only tospovirus known to infect tomato in Florida) was only occasionally detected. From November 2009 through February 2010, tospovirus symptoms were again observed in this area, and GRSV was detected by specific molecular and serological tests. This was the first report of GRSV in the United States and extends the known distribution of this tospovirus beyond South America and South Africa to North America.
Since the first diagnosis in Miami-Dade County, GRSV infections in commercial tomato fields have also been confirmed in Collier, Hendry, Lee, Manatee, Martin, and Palm Beach Counties. By the summer and fall of 2010, growers and scouts reported GRSV incidence in tomato fields across South Florida, mostly at low levels approaching 2% infection rate. Infected tomato seedlings were also found in plant houses (Figures 1 and 2). During the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011, GRSV infections of pepper, tomatillo, and eggplant were confirmed at several locations in South Florida (Figures 3a, 3b, and 3c).
GRSV's appearance across a wider swath of South Florida in more crop species and with greater frequency is a concern.
Early symptoms of GRSV infection are difficult to diagnose visually in all crops. Later symptoms can be quite striking, but molecular or serological analysis is necessary for definitive identification of GRSV.
In tomato plants infected at an early age, characteristic symptoms consist of inward rolling of leaves and leaves that develop a bronze cast followed by dark brown spots or flecks. Irregular yellow areas are also sometimes present. As the infection progresses, additional symptoms develop, including brown streaks on the epidermis (skin) of the main stem and leaf petioles and wilting (or death) of the top portion of the plant (Figures 4a–6). Fruits may be deformed, show uneven ripening, and often have raised bumps, rings, or ring patterns on the surface (Figures 7a, 7b, and 7c).
Similar types of symptoms are also observed following GRSV infection of tomatillo and eggplant, with brown streaks on the epidermis of the main stem and death of the top portion of the plant. Yellow (chlorotic) or brown (necrotic) rings or spots also are observed on leaves and fruit husks of tomatillos.
GRSV symptoms in pepper closely resemble those induced by TSWV in pepper and include yellow and brown (chlorotic and necrotic) spots on newly developed leaves, inward rolling of leaves, and overall stunting of plants (especially if infected at an early age). Fruits are also deformed and off color, often with characteristic rings.
The initial characterization of GRSV was from peanut in South Africa, where stunting of the plant and small, distorted leaves with severe yellowing (chlorosis) and concentric ringspots were reported.
The relatively narrow reported host range of GRSV contrasts with the extremely wide host range of TSWV. Both viruses induce similar symptoms on tomato, pepper, and tomatillo, as noted above.
GRSV has previously been found in Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa infecting hosts such as tomato, pepper, peanut, soybean, and coriander. Alternate hosts for GRSV in Florida are being explored. Growers are advised to watch for and report suspicious symptoms on weeds and other solanaceous crops, like potato, and legumes (especially peanut).
GRSV is reported to be transmitted by several species of thrips, including the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) and common blossom thrips (F. schultzei and F. gemina). The virus must be acquired by larval thrips from an infected plant for subsequent transmission as adults. Transmission occurs in a circulative propagative manner, meaning that the virus multiplies in the thrips as well as its plant host.
Transmission of Florida GRSV isolates by western flower thrips has been demonstrated recently. The ability of additional locally important thrips species to acquire and transmit GRSV is now being tested in the state.
Management of this virus and its thrips vectors is difficult. Once a plant becomes infected with GRSV, it cannot be cured. To prevent spread of the virus, infected plants should be immediately rogued to prevent spread to neighboring plants. This is especially true in transplant production. Control of western flower thrips (and potentially other thrips vector species yet to be identified in Florida) is important to reduce spread of the virus by these vectors.
The close relationship of GRSV and TSWV likely indicates that integrated management strategies developed and currently used for TSWV in North Florida will also be effective for GRSV. These include the use of virus-free transplants (produced by excluding thrips from plant houses, which may prove to be very difficult to achieve) and the use of metalized (UV-reflective) mulch developed for TSWV control by scientists at UF's North Florida Research and Education Center in Quincy. This integrated management approach combines the use of insecticides to reduce thrips larval development (to limit secondary virus spread) with UV-reflective mulches and acibenzolar-S-methyl (Actigard®). It has provided excellent management of TSWV in commercial tomato fields in North Florida and may help control GRSV in South Florida.

We all know that we should be eating healthier, but did you also know…
- More than 61% of Oregon's adult population is overweight or obese, putting them at greater risk of health problems including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Every year an additional 43,000 Oregon adults become obese.
- Oregon's children are also affected by obesity, with one in five classified as either overweight or obese. It is well understood that overweight children are more likely to be overweight or obese adults.
- Eating plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean meats and low-fat dairy, while reducing intake of salt, sugar and saturated fat, can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
- Research shows that being physically active and eating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables is associated with better weight maintenance.

The Tech Museum of Innovation is a registered 501 (c)(3).
Federal ID # 94-2864660
SAN JOSE, CA September 24, 2012 – The Silicon Valley fast track will intersect with images of Africa's dangerous river crossings during a gala at The Tech Museum of Innovation to raise support for the Bridging the Gap in Africa Foundation.
"The Jack Aknin Memorial Bridge Gala" – or JAMB, which mirrors the Swahili word jambo meaning hello - will be an African-inspired gala that takes place Saturday, October 19, 2012. Special guests include Harmon Parker, founder of Bridging the Gap and a 2010 Top Ten CNN Hero.
Flooding in Kenya will soon prohibit more than one thousand of the Olderkesi Maasia community from safely reaching the market to buy their basic staples. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives in Kenya and other parts of Africa crossing rivers where there are no bridges. Crossing rivers with no bridges forces people to face dangerous situations such as raging waters and wild animals such as hippopotamus and crocodiles. Bridges provide safe access to education, health care, food and families for marginalized communities in Sub-Sahara Africa. Bridging the Gap Africa saves about 600 lives every year by eliminating drowning and attacks by wild animals.
Funds from the gala will go toward Bridging the Gap Africa for the construction of a bridge in Kenya in honor of Aknin, a Silicon Valley luminary. He lost his battle with melanoma on April 27, 2011. Aknin was a supporter of BtGA, which builds suspended footbridges across the many rivers around the world, saving lives every day. Parker was a long-time friend of Aknin's and was a Top Ten CNN Hero of 2010 for his work in building footbridges in Kenya, which bring hope and inspiration along to countless families.
The themed event will feature African decor, foods prepared by the best local chefs, wine tasting, African cocktails, music, a silent auction, dancing, and exciting surprises.
Sponsors for this event include: The Tech Museum of Innovation, Cuisine Style Pamela Keith, Cottar's Safari Service, C & J Contracting, Inc., Alain Pinel Realtors, The Keffer Team, Del Grande Dealer Group.
Editor's Note: Harmon Parker will be in the United States and available for media interviews from mid-October to mid-November. Please contact Rob Doughty for more details.

Naturalized citizens: Your thoughts on immigration reform
Obama Passes by African Americans in Favor of Latinos
Another year passes. The election season is over. Our economy is still suffering. Over 8 million people have given up on finding a job after becoming unemployed. Food stamp and welfare usage are at an all time historical record.
What does Mr. Obama do? He launches and assault on the Second Amendment and plans to help the Latino community with immigration reform.
Once again the African American community has been short changed by our government. Poverty and unemployment for African Americans is incredibly high and getting worse. Soon the Latino community after amnesty will careen past African Americans in status, income, jobs, influence, and quality of life.
Mr. Obama's solution is to focus his attention on the Latino community to ensure that they have jobs, can participate in the system, etc.
To my fellow Americans of African lineage, don't be too disheartened. The objective of the Democratic machine is to keep you poor and dependent on the system and foment hatred in your hearts against a straw man enemy. They want you subservient and appreciative of the permissions they provide and the checks they write.
The Democratic liberal machine will never let you up off the ground. Never.

The final game of the two-game set will be played at 2 o'clock on Wednesday
Green Wave's (7-6) Brandon Boudreaux hit a two-out single up the middle and advanced to second on a walk to Sean Potkay. Both runners advanced a base on a passed ball and scored after the Garner single.
NSU (6-7) started Andrew Adams (0-1) who took the loss on five innings pitched and allowed only five hits and two runs.
"Quality start from Andrew Adams. He gave us a chance to win," said first-year head coach Lane Burroughs. "He gave up two runs in the first and settled in, and then (Logan) Shaftner came and he gave us a chance to win."
Shaftner piched for three innings and gave up one run on five hits.
"You go on the road and hold a team to three runs, you should win the game in college baseball," said Burroughs. "We've been shutout two games in-a-row. We have to find a way to score runs."
Tulane started David Napoli, but pulled him at the start of the second inning for Daniel Rankin (1-0) who grabbed the win on four innings with four hits and four stikeouts.
Emerson Gibbs worked 2.1 innings and Ian Gibaut (1) gets to save on 1.2 innings pitched.
Tulane added an insurance run in the sixth inning on a Bowen Woodson single that scored Garner who reached on a fielder's choice.
Edwin Gomez and Zack Costa each had two hits in the game and Cort Brinson, Nick Purdy, Will Watson, and Matt Baca each contributed a hit.
Boudreaux led the Green Wave with a three-for-four day and Potkay finished two-for-three.
NSU returns home to open a three-game weekend series with Louisiana-Monroe on Friday at 6:30 before going to Monroe to play Saturday and Sunday's games.

We went to primary school together then we went to the local high school for girls "Clarendon " went our seperateways when we left school and about 6months before my mum passed away we were reunited thrugh a strange turn of events and it was via her mother in law wefound eachother again. sadley her mother in law passed away and then in 2002 so did mine.
My school friend and her husband came to the funeral and it was at this time my friend told me she had Huntington's disease. this claimed her mothers life and now its claimed her's. Tonight I have been told it is about to claim her sister's life also.
Both sister's are pictured here and the one on the left is my dear friend and the one on the right is her sister Doris.
Words cannot express how I feel right now but I want anyone out there who knows about Huntington's to share it with me, to help me understand and help me come to terms with my loss of a friend who was so bubbly happy go lucky so caring of others ad most of all she always ha a smile on her face.

diy picnic silverware rolls
We have had glorious weather and sunny days, perfect for picnics and spending time outdoors. Here is a cute, washable silverware holder that you can make up to have stocked and ready to grab for an impromptu lunch in the park or a weekend outing with the family. These little picnic silverware rolls stitch up with sleeves for plastic or metal silverware and it even features a spot for a napkin. It is pretty easy sewing, so lets get started!
what you will need:
This will make 8 silverware rolls.
- 1 yd gingham fabric for lining and pocket
- 1/2 yd print fabric for outside
- 1/2 yd of batting
- 5 -6 yards of grosgrain ribbon
- Coordinating thread
what you will need to do:
- 1 — 8″ x 10″ rectangle of print fabric
- 1 — 8″ x 10″ rectangle of batting
- 1 — 8″ x 10″ rectangle of gingham fabric for lining
- 1 — 10″ x 10″ rectangle of gingham fabric for pocket
- 22″ of grograin ribbon for the tie
- Take the 10″ x 10″ pocket and fold in half and iron flat.
- Layer the batting, the lining and the pocket all facing up as shown.
- From the left side of the pocket, measure 2 inches, 3 1/2″ and 5″ at the top and bottom of the pocket. These will mark the stitch lines to make the channels for the silverware.
- Stitch down from the markings on the pocket to make the silverware channels. You will have three stitch lines. Do a couple of back stitches at the top to secure the channels.
- This is what the pocket channels will look like.
- Next, take your 22 inch grosgrain ribbon and fold almost in half leaving one end about one inch longer than the other. Pin the ribbon flat on the right side of the pocket about halfway down the side of the roll. Make sure that you will catch the ribbon when you stitch the side seam. Tuck the ends out of the way so that you do not catch them in the side seams.
- Layer the rectangle from the print fabric over the pocket, right sides together and pin in place.
- With a 1/4″ seam, stitch all the way around the roll leaving an opening for turning on the bottom. Clip corners.
- Turn the roll right side out and tuck in the raw edges on the opening. Iron the silverware roll flat.
- Top stitch close to the edge of the roll all the way around being sure to catch the edges of the opening and sew them shut.
- Your first silverware roll is completed, now just make seven more! These really do stitch up fast, sew them assembly line style!
I added a cloth napkin made from the same material as the outside of the roll. You can make these as well. You will need 2 yards of fabric and you can use the directions from my tailgate napkin post.
Do you need another picnic idea? Why not make my portable, perfect picnic quilt to go with the silverware rolls?

Green Chai Tea
Our blend of Green Chai tea is a delicate China green tea in the sencha style blended with cardamom, ginger, cloves, pepper, cinnamon, spearmint and flavoring. Lovely spiced tea with just a hint of mint makes a delicious winter-time treat. Use 1 heaping tsp. per cup and brew 2-3 minutes in steaming water.
Average Customer Rating
Reviewer: Gloria 01/24/2015
I love the spiciness but would prefer it without the mint. It overpowers the taste of the green tea which I found delicate and lovely.

We all continue to mourn the events of Sandy Hook Elementary School. That said, the discourse and deliberation about possible solutions are being expressed across the country.
Yet, what is the comprehensive answer? Frankly and honestly, I don't know. That said, I expect that any number of ACA's leadership groups will be seriously deliberating on this issue, and others, during the next couple of months. For instance, the National Council of Leaders and the ACA Board of Directors will meet in February, and I expect this topic to be at the top of the agenda.
We must act — but informed and cogent action is imperative. I do believe we will see both short- and long-term solutions emerge as a country and as a camp community. The problem is too complex to result in one solution; instead, the solution may be a series of powerful, impactful changes in regulation, access, procedures, behavior, and culture. (Again, for the camp community and the country.)
All I know is that we must protect our children. They are the future. To do anything less is incredibly careless and foolish. I hope that you will engage in ACA's leadership deliberation in the new year.

Workshop on Youth Employment Schemes in African Countries
UIL was invited to present its programme on literacy and life skills education for vulnerable youth at the "2012 Regional Workshop on Enhancing Delivery Capacities of Youth Employment Schemes in African countries". Following the call of the Belém Framework for Action to address the learning needs of youth and adults in a holistic and comprehensive system of lifelong learning, UIL launched a research and policy dialogue process aimed at enhancing the capacities of UNESCO Members States to reduce barriers to basic education for young people.
The African Development Institute, member of the African Development Bank Group, convened the five-day workshop in Lagos, Nigeria, to share experiences in the field of youth employment in Africa. It brought together about 40 participants from various African countries, such as Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania and in addition representatives from the Youth Employment Network (YEN), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the International Youth Foundation (IYF).
From 15 to 19 October 2012, programmes and projects from the private sector, government institutions, civil society organisations and international agencies were presented, resulting in fruitful discussions and possible ways for cooperation. All initiatives presented were aimed at improving youth employment in general, but they tackled the issue from different perspectives and within a variety of contexts. Ms Anna Bernhardt from UIL emphasized the need to address the learning needs of youth and adults in a holistic and comprehensive system of lifelong learning. Through an interactive group work session participants were introduced to the concepts of literacy as a continuum, life skills and lifelong learning. The outcome of the workshop is a a publication that elaborates the main issues involved in the planning and implementation of youth employment initiatives in African countries. UIL produced a paper as input to the publication which suggests possible ways to address the needs of vulnerable youth.

ZMA 2000 is a scientifically designed, university laboratory tested mineral support formula. ZMA 2000 contains zinc monomethionine aspartate plus magnesium aspartate and vitamin B-6 in the precise ratios that were used in the research. ZMA is a patent pending all natural product that is manufactured utilizing a unique proprietary process, which significantly enhances the absorption and utilization of both zinc and magnesium.*
Any male or female athlete looking to gain strength and muscle mass, increase athletic performance, and improve recovery should consider taking ZMA. Many studies suggest that after participating in regular intense exercise many athletes are deficient in zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B-6. This is not a good thing for an athlete.*
Zinc plays a central role in the regulation of cellular growth and tissue repair, as well as the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Magnesium is essential for the maintenance of electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuro-muscular function.

Bethenny Frankel Granola Recipe
Bethenny Frankel of The Apprentice, Real Housewives of New York and her own reality show fame is absolutely nuts about nuts.
In the kitchen, that is!
Once a natural foods chef by trade, she's whipped up a recipe for nutty granola, a satisfying snack that isn't sugar-coated.
Not unlike Bethenny overall in that sense!
- 4 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 cups almonds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Set oven to 300 degrees, and place the oven rack to center position. Lightly oil two large baking sheets.
In a large bowl, stir together oats with nuts and spices. In a small bowl, stir together the warm water with maple syrup and vanilla. Slowly pour the syrup mixture over the nut mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Spread out the greased baking sheets.
Bake on the center oven rack for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning, until the granola is crumbly and golden. Remove from the oven and stir in fruit and raisins.
When the mixture is cool, store it in an airtight container for up to five days or refrigerate it for one month.

They changed the swoosh n tongue tag, but I kind of like the full London Teal in the swoosh!
March 22, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 6
Sneaker News already told you that the classic Slam City x Nike SB Dunk Low was getting a quiet reissue in 2013 on top of the new Dunk tooling, and now we're here again to tell you how to get your hands on a pair. All you've gotta to is visit the new Slam City East location in London and spend £50 or more and you'll receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win your own pair. That's right they're gonna give them to you for free, none of this raffle ticket for the chance to purchase business. See more on the 2013 Slam City x Nike SB Dunk Low after the jump and let us know if you're swinging by Slam City Skates to try and pick up a pair.

They changed the swoosh n tongue tag, but I kind of like the full London Teal in the swoosh!

Getting a raffle ticket for a chance to purchase is bullshit. This is a much better solution for the 100 people in England who collect sneakers.
thats pretty awesome, yo.
@MC_Count_Chill U must be joking, not that I give 2 shits about any Nikes these days
about the 100 people in England part anyway...

| HEAD BOOKWORM: Bookslut's Michael Schaub.
IMAGE: Leslie Montgomery
Who among us has not wished for a literary concierge? Someone to tell us, "Read this, skip that"? Fortunately, for those who don't have all day to spend wading through drivel, there's Bookslut. And fortunately for Portland's community of readers, Bookslut Managing Editor Michael Schaub, 32, now calls Stumptown home. There's even talk of a Portland Bookslut Reading Series, leading off with a "dry run" at a local bar in April.
Launched in 2002, Bookslut is the pre-eminent online literary magazine ("litblog" for short). It's a monthly publication that posts fresh and funny book reviews, author Q&A's and unabashed literary gossip. It receives 300,000 independent site visits each month, and it's gotten shout-outs from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Time. Schaub himself, who lives in the Foster-Powell neighborhood, is a frequent freelance contributor to The Washington Post, the Huffington Post and NPR. Recently, WW sat down with Schaub to talk about literary feuds, Amazon Kindle and eating on a blogger's salary.
WW: OK, from one blogger to another…where is the money coming from? Seriously, how do you eat?
Michael Schaub: Umm, just barely? I have a day job. I work in client services for an e-commerce company in Austin. Most of the rest of my money is [from] freelance book reviews, which are nice, because they help me afford something other than Dinty-Moore beef stew for dinner.
What about money from blogging?
[Laughs] Bookslut gets some revenue through advertisers, but not a lot. I make enough to buy whiskey, which is a job necessity anyway.
So what's this I hear about a Portland Bookslut Reading Series?
You heard right: We're bringing the Bookslut reading series to Portland. Right now we're trying to find a bar to host us. It's going to have more of a rock-show vibe than a wine-and-cheese-in-a-college-lecture-hall vibe; just kind of casual and unpretentious and fun. It's in the planning stages....
Let's talk about the online magazine. Why call it Bookslut?
The original concept was someone who would do anything for a good book. I mean, we weren't gonna call it The Great Western Hemispheric Review of World Literature. We wanted to let people know that we were gonna have more fun than that. We worried initially that [the name] would handicap us in terms of being taken seriously. I mean, imagine requesting a review copy from Harvard University Press, and they're like, what's the name of the site? But it caught on really quickly. We're able to have more fun without feeling that we have to be part of some ivory tower, academic conversation. There's a sense of wonder that doesn't necessarily come through when you're writing in AP style.
Whom should Americans read more of?
Stieg Larsson. No, just kidding. It would help if Americans read more authors from other countries. They represent perspectives that Americans often just aren't exposed to... [Read] Jean-Philippe Toussaint. He's a great postmodern writer, really funny.
Have you ever been in a literary feud?
I think the concept of a literary feud is pretty hilarious. It's basically a slap fight between people who were picked on in high school. Come on! We're all total nerds here. We all got dodgeballs thrown at our heads.
But seriously.
OK, yeah. I've gotten some nasty emails from writers whom I've reviewed negatively. There was this guy... Toby Young. He wrote a terrible book called How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, which was then made into a terrible movie. Basically, this guy is just a dick, writing about his experiences being a complete dick. I thought it was charmless and poorly written, and I said as much. It's a real job hazard, having to read crap like that all the way through.
So what did he do?
Toby sent me this email with the subject line "Ignore This Email." Then, there wasn't any text in the main part of the message. I think it was his way of saying, "I don't care what you think." I guess it was pretty clever. Although, if he really didn't care, why send the email?
What are you reading right now?
I'm reading the new novel by Adam Haslett, Union Atlantic. So far I like it. It deals a lot with the financial crisis, but not in an obvious or a preachy way.
What do you think of e-readers like Amazon Kindle?
I haven't tried one. I have zero interest. I just can't buy that reading on a device like that comes close to the experience of reading an actual book. Maybe I'm getting old. You know, I have back pain now. Bad knees.

What does he say God's purpose was in creating all of humanity out of one single original being? Greed (and perhaps price), envy, and power characterize the "second city" (or the second way of life). What are their positive counterparts in the "first city"?
Literal Commentary on Genesis, XI, 15,20
These are the two loves: the first is holy, the second foul; the first is social, the second selfish; the first consults the common welfare for the sake of a celestial society, the second grasps at a selfish control of social affairs for the sake of arrogant domination; the first is submissive to God, the second tries to rival God; the first is quiet, the second restless; the first is peaceful, the second trouble-making; the first prefers truth to the praises of those who are in error, the second is greedy for praise, however it may be obtained; the first is friendly, the second envious; the first desires for its neighbor what it wishes for itself, the second desires to subjugate its neighbor; the first rules its neighbor for the good of its neighbor, the second for its own advantage; and these two loves produce a distinction among the angels: the first love belongs to the good angels, the second to the bad angels; and they also separate the two cities founded among the race of men, under the wonderful and ineffable Providence of God, administering and ordering all things that have been created: the first city is that of the just, the second is that of the wicked. Although they are now, during the course of time, intermingled, they shall be divided at the last judgment; the first, being joined by the good angels under its King, shall attain eternal life; the second, in union with the bad angels under its king, shall be sent into eternal fire. Perhaps, we shall treat, God willing, of these two cities more fully in another place.
Translated by Marcus Dod (1876)
We have already stated in the preceding books that God, desiring not only that the human race might be able by their similarity of nature to associate with one another, but also that they might be bound together in harmony and peace by the ties of relationship, was pleased to derive all men from one individual, and created man with such a nature that the members of the race should not have died, had not the two first (of whom the one was created out of nothing, and the other out of him) merited this by their disobedience; for by them so great a sin was committed that by it human nature was altered for the worse, and was transmitted also to their posterity, liable to sin and subject to death. And the kingdom of death so reigned over men, that the deserved penalty of sin would have hurled all headlong even into the second death, of which there is no end, had not the undeserved grace of God saved some therefrom. And thus it has come to pass that, though there are very many and great nations all over the earth, whose rites and customs, speech, arms, and dress, are distinguished by marked differences, yet there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, according to the language of our Scriptures. The one consists of those who wish to live after the flesh, the other of those who wish to live after the spirit; and when they severally achieve what they wish, they live in peace, each after its kind.
