Not sure how to use a trainer? Watch how simple it is in our demonstration video.
National Dex:
Have over sixty Pokemon in your Pokedex and defeat the Elite Four. Return to Pallet Town and see the professor. He will give the National Dex to Gary and you. You can use it to see the data for all 386 Pokemon. (supplied by: MALO725)
Pichu Volt Tackle:
You can only get Volt Tackle by catching a Pikachu with a Light Ball. Then, breed it with a Ditto. You will then get a Pichu with Volt Tackle. (supplied by: MALO725)
1. THE THREE LEGENDARY DOGS and how to catch yours
First, before knowing HOW to get your legendary dog, you gotta know wich one it is, so if you got a blastoise you get raikou, if you got a charizard, you get suicune, and venusaur, you got an entei. By the way all that shit about don't use your master ball on mewtwo, not true use it on mewtwo and use greats and ultras on the dog.
Okay now, you gotta have beaten the E4(Elite Four). Then buy exactly 50 Max Repels(in indigo plateau) cuz when you surf around or walk around the country, use your max repels because the only one that you can run into is your legend dog with repels. That will cost you 35 000 bucks…exactly 35.Sure its a lot of cash, but its worth it. The first time I saw my raikou was in the water, so that means you could run into him anywhere exept the sevii islands and the sacred fire of treasure island! Anyways ,when you run into it let it fled. Catch 2 wobbufets levels 55 or up(you'll know why later). Then fly to vermillion city and go all the way east(right) until the building with a police man. After that, go out of it go check you pokedex to see the area of the pokemon #243 or something then check at the east of the map. There will be three bars and the third bar down is route 11(where you are) and when it is red there, run in the grass until you find him( it might take a second and it might take a couple of minutes) it will take really long for it to be the third bar down.
When i asked you to catch two wobbufetts it was so the legend dog can't fled cause that's wobby's ability. BUT, the legend dog still has the attack roar. That means he could still escape…but after he escaped with roar the legend dog's gone forever so shut off your GBASP/GBA/DS right away.
Why i told you to catch 2 wobbys is because raikou, entei or suicune might kill your first wobby. But b4 the wobbufets, attack him enough so that the legend dog doesn't die but his energy is still red. Then, paralise it so when it tries to do roar it might stop him. Don't put it asleep because it will wake up eventually. Then after paralisation, throw in the wobby and right away start with the balls if your EXTREMELY lucky you'll have 15 turns or more without fled or roar. At each ball you throw you gotta to B + right on the D-Pad when the pokemon is about to break out of the ball
Wobby = wobbufet
Wobbufet is caught at level 58 at cave where you catch mewtwo(cerulean cave) at the 2nd floor where the rocks are.
Good luck with catching Raikou, Entei, or Suicune and I'm sure you'll get your legendary dog level 100 just like me!!!
2. Best training spot EVER
At seven island there is the trainer tower and sevault canyon. Sevault canyon is at the south direction where there are the unowns. Go right in front of the water where you surf on to go to the ruins but DON'T surf go a little up and you'll see a house there will be a hatch of grass. The patch will be between two trainers. Use your VS seeker and make them both or one of them have exclamation marks over their heads go kill them them one time and it will be in the levels 40 and then after, with VS seeker they will boost from about 4 to 6 levels each so they will ALL be in the 50s levels. Sure it sounds like shit but if you get a level 60 or more it will need something like 20,000 exp. points and each pokemon gives about 2,000 exp. points and each trainer has 5 pokemon so, that's about a level each two trainers so that's how I got my mewtwo, my zapdos, my raikou, my blastoise, my swampert , and my blaziken level 100. that's already six in a week. Good luck!
3. Rare Unowns
The question mark unown is in the cave that only has the unown the letter A and the exclamation mark is in the cave with only the letter Z. I have both of them and my cousin got so lucky when he found a not-cheated-shiny unown L.
4. Have Hitmonlee AND Hitmonchan/ how to duplicate
First, catch a ditto and then bring it at the four island daycare. Put your Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan with the ditto. Run or walk about 600 steps in vermillion or anywhere but four island. Then go back to the daycare and the man at the fence should have taken a step out of where he usually is. Talk to him take the egg and it will be Tyrogue. And at level 20 if the defense is higher than the attack he'll evolve into a hitmonlee and if the attack is higher than the attack at level 20 it will evolve into hitmonchan. And if it's the same, it will be a HITMONTOP!!! So lets say tou have a hitmonlee, have tyrogues until it evolves into a hitmonchan. You could also put a ditto + swampert = mudkip and ect. That's also the cheat to duplicate pokemon but the thing is that its only gonna be level five when you hatch the egg. However, if you put a Blastoise that knows surf the hatched egg of squirtle will have surf too.So that's how you duplicate pokemon exept for legendaries cuz they wont be able to hang out with ditto in the daycare…that sucks though.
5. Trade evolutions
Haunter = Gengar
Machoke = Machamp
Graveler = Golem
6. The easiest way to have $999,999
If your always short on money and you don't wanna buy stuff cuz youre poor, than this is the right cheat for you. For this cheat you need the ruby plate, the VS seeker, HM surf, and a good pokemon that can kill level 50 grass/poison pokemon. So go to vermillion city and go to FIVE island (you will need the rainbow pass). East there is five isle meadow and north there is water labyrinth. Go to the water labyrinth up, up, and up until that on your screen it will be written resort gorgeous. Go east and you'll hit a small island called resort gorgeous. The first lady you see is a rich lady that when you battle her she'll give $10,000. So imagine how much money you're gonna have if you use allumet coin…$20,000 just for beating a hoppip level 50 or something and his evolution level like 52. And then the other lady (the one that doesn't have the smeargle) will give you $19,600 with allumet coin for defeating Mareep, Mareep, and Flaffy. So that's almost $40,000 at the use of the VS seeker once!! Keep doing this until you get $999,999. Believe me it WONT take long.
7. Treasure beach
Treasure beach is a small beach that when you use itemfinder you'll find something, use it again and you'll find something and you could do this about 15 times without having found anything at all. NOW, how to get to treasure beach. First you need to have enabled islands one, two, and three. Go to island one. After the man drops you off in the house go out and step once up. Then step once to the west. Use surf go all the way to the south and VOILA, treasure beach. Its as easy as that.
8. Shiny pokemon without action replay
This is a way to get only pokemon that you have to talk to be in battle with. For example: Mewtwo, Oh-ho, Lugia…ect. Save in front of the little pokemon and talk to it you'll go in battle with it. It will be probably not shiny, if so press A + B + start + select all at the same time. That's also the In-game reset cheat anyways back to topic. Talk to it again and if its not shiny do it this over and over again until you do get it shiny. Even though I wrote this cheat I still don't recommend it for the impatient like me. My friend though has a shiny mewtwo doing this cheat so that's why I know about it and that's why YOU know about. So if your patient and want a not-cheated shiny pokemon than this is the cheat for YOU.
9. Dragon Scale and Metal Coat
Dragon scale is an item that if you trade it with seadra holding it, it will evolve into a Kingdra. And metal coat is an item that if you trade with onix (fire red and leaf green) holding it, it will evolve into a steelix and if you trade it with scyther (fire red only) holding it, it will evolve into a scizor. Now, how to GET them both. For dragon scale go to six island and go east. You'll hit water path. Go all the way south in the grass and go up the stairs. Surf south where there is the water until you hit a little piece of land with a pokeball. That pokeball holds dragon scale. And now for metal coat… go to five island. Go east to five isle meadow. Go south until you're able to surf. Go east by surfing to memorial pillar. Pass all that shit grass and surf south until you hit sand. Go up the stairs and there should be a statue. At the west of the statue there are some more stairs, right, go down the stairs and there should be a pokeball. That pokeball holds metal coat.
10. HM #3 Surf and HM #4 Strength
First go to fuchsia city then enter the safari zone. Go east and you'll see a patch of grass. Pass through it and go to the east side. Go east and east and pass the pack of grass and go north and up the stairs. Go all the way to the west until the last stairs to the west. Go down the pair of stairs go up all the way until you find another staircase go up, go east and go down the other stairs. You should see a rest house. Go north passed the grass then go west passed the grass and in the other side. Go at the middle of the patch of grass and then go up to the staircase. Go out the other staircase. Take two steps to the west and then go all the way up until you see another patch of grass. Pass that patch of grass go and east to another patch of grass. Pass that patch of grass and go west until another patch of grass shaped like #. Pass THAT patch of grass and go south until you get out of that area. Go west and in the pokeball there should be a "gold tooth". After go in the house and talk to the man he'll give you HM #3 Surf than, walk a few steps and until it says "PA: ding dong times up your safari game is over". Get out of the building and into fuchsia city. Then, go in the pokemon center get out right away. Go east and go to the first house you see(the one with the mailbox at the left of it). Give the gold tooth to the guy and he'll give you HM #4 Strength. Inside the house you could use strength to move a boulder blocking a pokeball. Use strength because in that pokeball there is a rare candy.
11. How much does YOUR starter pokemon love YOU?
First you'll need a last evolution starter pokemon, a full restore, and a little damage to your last evolution starter pokemon (it could only be a Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Sceptile, Blaziken, or a Swampert at any level 38 and up). Then, give your pokemon a full restore and if he doesn't move up at all it means train him a lot until he loves you more and if he moves up a little than before than he loves you a little more than it did before. Do this until it goes all the way up so you'll be not able to see all of its body. That'll mean that it couldn't love you anymore and the more it loves you the least chance you have of having "attack missed" and shit. It should be out of the screen at levels 98 to 100. at level 100, if you're lucky your pokemon's attack will be over 250. My best pokemon level 100 out of 6 is mewtwo level 100. it has 271 as the attack. The pokemon that will have a 1.3% chance of having an "attack missed" and 714 HP at level 100 is Blissey the strongest and the most resistant to any pokemon move EVER, plus if it has softboiled it could heal its energy so that makes it even harder to beat…anyways good luck with your pokemon's love.
12. The Bike…how the hell do you get it?
If you went in the bike shop at cerulean city and you saw that a bike costs a million dollars and the maximum is nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars ($999,999). So, first, go to vermillion city go to the pokemon fan club and talk to the boss. The pokemon fan club is very close to the pokemon center. Talk to the old man on the couch (the boss of the fan club) and he'll give you a Bike Voucher. A bike voucher is a kind of coupon that makes you get the bike free. So it's like a one million dollar-off on your next bicycle. Then go to the Bike Shop in Cerulean City and talk to the owner he will look at the bike voucher and will then give you a free bike!!! So it's as easy as that to get a free bike with usually costs $1,000,000. but I mean COME ON… a million bucks for a FREAKING bike!!! Anyways hope this cheat helps for you bike~!
13. HM #2 Fly
HM #2 Fly is one the best HMs that ever existed in pokemon games and now you could k now how to get it! First you'll need HM #1 Cut which you find on the S.S Anne, access to Celadon City and a pokemon that could learn the move Cut. First, go to Celadon City and head towards the cycling road until you see a "cut tree". Cut it and you should see grass and a house exactly like the entrance to the cycling road. Go in it and you should see ANOTHER house, go in it and talk to the girl. She'll give you HM #2 Fly. You could use HM #2 Fly out of battle (as an HM) after defeating Erika, the gym leader of Celadon City. HM #2 Fly is used as a really powerful attack in battle and is used to go to cities you've already visited. Let's say that you just beat the fifth gym…you can't fly to Saffron City or Indigo Plateau or Cinnabar Island or any city/town you never visited. Anyways I hope that HM #2 Fly really helped you in your game.(supplied by: darick)

Eddie Murphy, LL Cool J Outted in Transgender's Tell-All?
Maybe he really does want to party all the time. Eddie Murphy, along with rap stud LL Cool J, is not going to be happy about a new memoir by a transgender woman named Toni Newman, in which she discusses alleged same-sex encounters with the two entertainers.
In her new book, I Rise, The Transformation of Toni Newman, writes of her journey from being born a male in North Carolina to working the New York streets as a "lady of the night." While working as a prostitute, Newman details alleged encounters with rapper LL Cool J and comedian Eddie Murphy.
Read excerpts below.
Of LL Cool J, Newman writes, "LL Cool J was a onetime encounter and very enjoyable."
Of Murphy, Newman writes,"I never had an encounter with Eddie Murphy, but he was visiting 14th Street late at night. I know at least five transgender who did have sex with Eddie Murphy. He was interested in the girl with the biggest male genitalia."
A rep for LL Cool J has already denied Newman's claim, telling XXLMag the accusations are "pure comedy."

926: Time Vulture
|Time Vulture
Title text: In a way, all vultures are Time Vultures; some just have more patience than others.
This comic is about a time vulture, which as far as I can tell is not a reference to anything, but something made up by Randall for the comic. A Time Vulture as explained in the 3rd frame is a type of vulture that can live for millennia and wait long enough for someone to die of natural causes. A vulture is a type of animal that preys on other animals (and humans) who are sick or dying.
Because the Time Vulture lives for so long, in its point of view, everyone says "But, I'm not about to die" right before they do. In our point of view it could be several years, but since the Time Vulture lives for so long, years are mere moments in its view.
In the image text, since all vultures wait for their prey to die, all vultures are Time Vultures, but time vultures are able to wait decades for their prey, whereas regular vultures do not have that kind of time.
- [A bird with apparently fractal wings hovers above a dude, standing with a friend.]
- Friend: Dude, you've got a Time Vulture.
- Dude: Holy crap! What is it?
- Friend: They're predators that use aging to kill prey.
- Dude: Huh? What do you mean?
- [The panel zooms in on the Friend's face. Dude comments from off-panel.]
- Friend: They live for millenia and use little energy. They can slow down their internal clocks so time speeds past. To hunt, they lock on to some prey, and when it stops moving, they eat it.
- Dude (off-panel): But what if the prey doesn't die?
- Friend: I don't think you quite understand.
- Dude: I mean, I'm not about to die...
- Friend: From the vulture's viewpoint, everyone says that moments before they do.

An obvious reference to death itself, which stalks everyone, usually for decades. This is a "memento mori". 18.104.22.168 17:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- Is this a reference to Dr. Who's Weeping Angels, who also (in a different way) hunt by having their victims live to death? 220.127.116.11 04:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- I doubt it. While there is definitely a similarity, it seems like too much of a stretch to have been intentional. 188.8.131.52 00:26, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
- While the idea of weeping angels seems pretty true on the surface, they get their 'food' from transporting something through time, but this animal doesn't eat time or anything, it just dramatically speeds up how quickly time passes for it- similar to how sometimes a night's sleep feels only like an hour or sometimes a year.
- Oh, I want those overnight feels like a year sleeps. I get less of them the older I get. Having a kid pretty much put a nail in that coffin. 188.8.131.52 14:09, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

188.8.131.52 16:01, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- Does anyone know if Randell is a Who fan? 184.108.40.206 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
From the vulture's viewpoint, the carcass will rot (or be buried) in seconds. Hope it can speed up its internal clock when needed. Mumiemonstret (talk) 10:10, 19 March 2015 (UTC)The logical way to kill this off would be with a shotgun. Problem solved...? Unless the Time Vulture recognises shotguns as a threat. I am glad this thing doesn't exist. -- LuigiBrick (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Worldchanging ally Andrew Zolli has some really smart things to say about the Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe, the ways in which it was biomimetically modelled on a termite mound, and the interplay of investment cultures and sustainability:
"[M]uch of the sustainability movement seems stuck in a local minima of 'now-ist' free market capitalism: a tight focus on the short term prevents companies from investing in longer-term sustainable (and cost reducing) measures, which in turn leads to a dearth of both implementations and case studies, which in turn fuels the mistaken perception that sustainable initiatives don't have big payoffs, or have at most cosmetic ones, which in turn fuels an even greater focus on the the short-term. Another byproduct of this cycle is that customers don't see the benefits of sustainability, and therefore don't know to demand them; companies can't afford them and therefore have no incentive to educate the market to demand higher standards. (There is a faint whiff of the prisoner's dilemma here.)
"The building uses less than 10 percent of the energy of a conventional building its size. These efficiencies translated directly to the bottom line: The Eastgate's owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn't have to be imported. These savings were also realized by tennants: rents are 20 percent lower than in a new building next door. ...This is a terrific example of sustainable architecture that is biomimetic, indigenous, and economically viable on its face. Yet the Eastgate story also demonstrates an important aspect of the sustainability/biomimicry trend - that incrementally greater value may be found by studying solutions from those niches (ecological and economic) where resources are more constrained than the ones you inhabit. Don't study the oasis - study the desert."
sounds like something right out book 2 of christopher alexander's nauture of order:
"Alexander examines the kinds of process that are capable of generating living structure. The unfolding of living structure in natural systems is first compared to the unfolding of buildings and town plans in traditional society, and then contrasted with present day processes. The comparison reveals deep and shocking problems which pervade the present day planning and construction of buildings. He describes the detailed character of living process needed to generate, design, plan, and build buildings with living structure. The character of living process is contrasted, repeatedly, with the character of present-day professional process, which departs, again and again, from present process, in order to meet the necessities inherent in any truly life-creating process. Pervasive changes needed to create a world in which living process - and hence living structure - are attainable only through a transformation of society."

Some more work on the zombie. And a character for a comic I'm going to be working on . Plus, a couple of works for a children's book my mom is writing.
that zombie is just awesome 0.0
Man, you're really good, and I can clearly see how you've improved through the SB. Great work.
I have to study more. Unfortunately I'm a bit old to think it beyond a hobby. Keep up the good work.
daaaaamn son !
-: [ sketchbook | sour.org ] :-
Your zombie is looking very, very creepy . I think the pose looks a liiiittle stiff, but probably not enough to really worry about. The character for your mom's book is very adorable! I want to keep him as a pet .
loving that portrait study, sourgasm just quoted. very cool thinks happening here as far as improvement is concerned. PUSH it maaaaan!!
Available for freelance work! contact me via : firstname.lastname@example.com

Finally Finished

Ostroponis, woah, thanks!
gordebak, well, sir, then I wish you keep at your hobby. It's a great hobby to have.
sourgasm, heh, thanks dad!
Nisshoku, absolutely correct, the pose is stiff as a cardboard. But it's a zombie... so it looks okayish. Thanks for dropping by. And he's all yours.
Gloominati, thanks for the encouragement. Ridiculously good sb you have.
Some WIP shots from the CHOW entry I'm working on...
Thanks for visiting my SB! I like the female head of post 182 and the skinfolds and shadow of the single head in post 211! Thanks for sharing your sketches! Keep on posting pencil stuff, please!
I'm not "sir" old. Still 34.
Another pass at the CHOW.
Also, I wanted to share something. Other than when I'm drawing on the tablet, my hand is shaking like crazy. The back of my hand hurts, and the arm is a bit sore as well. But what is bugging me the most is the fact that I simply can't stop the hand from shaking.
Can it happen due to dehydration? I think now the maximum temperature at my place is around 38-40, and the humidity should be well above 90. I'm drinking about a litre of water a day.

that chow entry is looking pretty sweet. make sure you ref out those pant folds (or just copy wes) and keep an eye on the knee location. its gonna be a good one.

Really cool CHOW
about the hand shaking/pains, is it like what Daarken had?:
My Sketchbook Deviantart
My bro!:
Hey, I enjoyed looking through your sketchbook. Lots of good stuff in here and the improvement from start to finish is inspiring. keep it up!
Carpal tunnel syndrome doesnt really has much arm shaking to it. I think its just muscles trying to recover from fatigue. Do some contraction and relaxation exercises.
Like, Tighten/tense up the muscle, the relax it. Do it a few times. And also pay attention to position of your wrist. Dont let it bend inside much.
I hope it helps.
And btw really cool CHOW entry man. I would love to see what you'd with the BG.
Much love.
NEW SketchbooK
My Finished Paintings(TIGHTropE)
Your sketchbook has been a pleasure to look through and I'm very impressed. Keep up this excellent work. My only crit is that on this most recent piece, the toes on the figure shouldn't look like a bunch of individual sausages, they're pushing against the ground and will flatten out and smoosh against each other. It's likely that the only gap you'll see is between the big toe and all the others.
In other news: Smashing work, you're really getting this digital painting business quite well, makes me jealous. Keep it up.
Ars longa, vita brevis.
velderia, thanks!
Braintree, thanks man. No, that is not it, I think. The side effects are barely there. But I'll take a break anyway!
Maunty, inspiring, what? My sb? Woah!

Great CHOW piece man, very nice presentation that I think will do well and get you some votes. I know your finished with it, but watch out on his left arm there. It looks like you were going for foreshortening but his silhouette reads like he's got a gimpy arm! Haha, nice rendering and colors however, good luck!
first it was a serious shot in the arm to get your comment. one works alone and often feed back is one over critical brain numbing internal voice that....well u know or perhaps not.
now...I am going to spend a little time visiting your sketchbook.
So first to your edited post from a couple of years ago...I think it deserves to be reposted so it can be in your current grouping.
I am writing about post 1. You wrote
A once trainee monk in one-of-those-uber-secret-Tibetan-monasteries, he suffers from an extreme case of vertigo. As a result, he failed his final test, which involved an annoyingly large number of creaky wooden bridges. Zhengs subsequent fall to the ground had threatened to bring down the Roof of Asia, but affected his head instead.
Since then, he calls himself Protector of the Weak (not to be confused with Protector of the Week, which, as of today, is a weird latex tube used by aliens to raise social awareness), and vows to protect all teddy bears, big or small. Although some insensitive runts prefer to call him mass child murderer, we must sympathize with him. For, after all, as his spokesperson puts it, teddies are as much human as you or me.
love it! re post it as a new post. it deserves to be seen.
Loved post 85, because of the raw energy.
I thought post 84 was good because of the execution of the pov.
Post 144 is awesome the juxtaposition of images and symbolic statements is visual poetry imho Hope you revisit whatever you had in mind. Its a story I wish to follow.
Post 160 the intensity of the eyes had a great feel. hope you have revisited this image. its too good to be at the bottom of the pack.
post 231...I think the character looks great. I think in the blades I might have wanted to see light, shapes, hints of things being reflected. The weight on the front leg the thigh muscles do not look like its weighted. I mean you have this intense, powerful, determined and very focused character who looks like he tip toeing on the ground instead of feeling like he is eating up the earth with each step he takes.
ok...thats my 1.5 inflated cents worth. I tell ya your original desire to post on CA has proved true. wow
Very nice CHOW piece! Your work is superb. Working straight in color... crazy!!!
damn, you weaseled out of doing the BG, you little bitch!!!
But oooh la la, the body is painted superbly. Nice expression and gesture in the character too.One little crit would be that the feet dont seem to be taking the entire weight of the body, as if floating or something. But then again I dunno your original intention.
SUPERB man, you are getting there. Keep at it.
Much love

CHESAPEAKE, VA – Republican nominee for Virginia Lieutenant Governor E.W. Jackson spoke out today concerning Ralph Northam's election year rhetoric and empty record:
"I am committed to the real issues facing Virginia's families," said Jackson. "And while Ralph Northam may try to talk a good game on issues he feels are vital to the people of the Commonwealth, his record in the Virginia Senate, or lack thereof, tells a different story. What Northam currently calls 'commonsense legislation' is something he has not taken the time to address by sponsoring a single relevant bill during his five years in the Virginia Senate. Instead, Northam's record is one of standing against better health standards for women's clinics and for an extreme social agenda that does nothing to put Virginians back to work.
"If it takes statewide ambitions for Ralph Northam to feel strongly on this issue, how many others are just empty rhetoric meant to get him elected? Virginians deserve better for Lieutenant Governor – someone who is honest with the people of Virginia and won't play politics as usual. As Lieutenant Governor, I will fight for working families and small businesses and help create a better Commonwealth for all."

Watford is a town and borough in Hertfordshire, England, situated northwest of central London and inside the circumference of the M25 motorway. This Watford is not to be confused with Watford, Northamptonshire which is about 50 miles to the north.
Cassiobury Park was once the manor estate of the Earls of Essex and is a public park in the town centre. Watford Football Club play in the Football League Championship which is the second-highest level of football in England.
The town developed from an Anglo-Saxon settlement between a ford of the River Colne and the crossroads of two ancient tracks. St Albans Abbey claimed rights to the manor of Cashio, which included Watford. The parish church of St Mary the Virgin was built in 1230 on the same site as an earlier Saxon church, along with stalls for a weekly market.[1] The town grew modestly, assisted by travellers passing through to Berkhamsted Castle and the royal palace at Kings Langley, with the main developments being the 17th-century houses of Cassiobury and The Grove. Both the Grand Junction Canal in 1798, and the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837, allowed the town to grow faster, with paper-making mills, such as John Dickinson and Co. at Croxley, influencing the development of printing in the town which continues today. Two industrial scale brewers Benskins and Sedgwicks flourished in the town until their closure in the late 20th century. Today, Watford is a major regional centre for the northern home counties. Hertfordshire County Council designates Watford, along with Stevenage, to be its major sub-regional centre. Several head offices of national companies and multi-nationals are based in Watford. Both the 2006 World Golf Championship and the 2013 Bilderberg Conference, took place at The Grove hotel.
Watford was created as an urban district under the Local Government Act 1894, and became a municipal borough by grant of a charter in 1922. The borough had 90,301 inhabitants at the time of the 2011 census. The borough is separated from Greater London to the south by the urbanised parish of Watford Rural in the Three Rivers District. The Watford subdivision of the Greater London Urban Area, which includes much of the neighbouring districts, had a total population of 120,960 in the 2001 census. Watford Borough Council is the local authority, with a directly elected mayor as head. The Mayor of Watford is one of only 17 directly elected mayors in England; Dorothy Thornhill has been the mayor since the directly elected system was set up in May 2002, and is both the first Liberal Democrat and first female directly elected mayor in the United Kingdom. Watford elects one Member of Parliament (MP) for the Watford constituency. Prior to the establishment of this constituency in 1885 the area was part of the three seat constituency of Hertfordshire.

Molly Sims and her son, Brooks, are both hitting new milestones. The model, actress and designer will celebrate her 40th birthday next month, and soon after, her baby boy will turn one year old. Us Weekly caught up with the new mom at Hudson Jeans Annual Shop Night to Benefit One Voice at Scoop in L.A.'s Brentwood neighborhood on Thursday, Apr. 25, to find out how she's feeling about the big events comings up in her life.
"I kind of want to vomit in my mouth, but yes, I am excited," Sims told Us about turning the big 4-0 on May 25. "We are counting it down, it's like 37 days. I want to vomit."
PHOTOS: Molly's glamorous maternity style
But her son's big birthday sparks a very different feeling. "We might do a little joint birthday," she said. "Someone's turning one and someone's turning 40!" Sims welcomed her first child with producer husband Scott Stuber on June 19. Though he's only 10-months-old, the proud mama -- who admits she becomes "that person" who talks about her kid all the time -- gushed to Us that her baby boy has six pearly whites already and has started to walk.
"Brooks is teething badly! We have six teeth. We're very early to have [that many] teeth, and we're drooling and he's having a hard time," she shared. "But, you know, he's so fun and his smile and everything is new and it's so fun to watch him. It brings me so much joy. I have to say it's the most content I've ever been in my life."
"He is super fun and he took his first step yesterday," she added. "He's early. He's teething, he's walking and he was born with a tooth! But yes, he took one step. And I'm like, 'Come here!' He did it. He can now balance for like 60 seconds without holding on."
The "Project Accessory" host also predicts that her son is going to be tall. "He's got big paws!" she joked. "He's got big hands like my husband. My husband is 6-foot-5 and I'm 5-foot-9.5."
Before even tasting his first piece of birthday cake, Sims says Brooks is already a very good eater. "He drinks blueberry banana and we put Dr. Schulze's powder in there -- which is all these vitamins -- and we put in almond butter. He's such a good eater, he eats everything!" she bragged. "It's so great! I'm so proud of him."
PHOTOS: Hottest post-baby bikini bods
Even though Sims has mixed feelings about her birthday, she is excited to celebrate her first Mother's Day on May 12.
"I am so happy. It is the best Mother's Day," she said. "It's the best. I have my husband, I have my family, I have my child. I'm in such a good place and I never thought it would be this great."

Darren: First of all, congratulations on winning the 100 Mile Endurance Challenge with time of 19 hours 19 minutes! You took first place overall this year and now have the women's course record!!
Tracy: And, it looks like I'll get to KEEP the record since the course is changing next year! Guess you will have to put an asterisk by it!
Darren: OK. So, there are so many events out there. Why did you select the EC100?
Tracy: First of all, I was shocked when I first saw that there was a "Road 100" as most 100-Milers are off-road due to the complexities of closing roads, etc., and this intrigued me! I wondered what it would be like to run through the streets at night AND, ever since I was a toddler, I always LOVED to see all the 'big city lights' at night, so the thought of seeing them as I ran this race was right up my alley. Not only that, but half the race is along the ocean—it doesn't get much better than THAT!
Secondly, I have been a Personal Trainer and Running Coach for years. The epidemic of obesity has saddened me and, moreover, seeing overweight children is really disheartening. They just don't stand a fighting chance for any kind of healthy adulthood unless they are educated about the 'need to move' and the need to adopt a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating habits. The fact that the 100 Mile Club® is behind this race and that the proceeds go back to this club made it a 'no brainer' for me to choose to run this race. The 100 Mile Club® has helped thousands and thousands of children to become active and understand the importance of exercise and ALL the benefits that exercise has to offer them. In addition to the benefits of keeping a healthy weight, many of these kids benefit from their experience with the 100 Mile Club® when they learn how exercise and their success with exercise makes them feel empowered. Some of them would NEVER feel empowered if it weren't for THIS experience!!
Darren: Tell me about the course. What do you like the most about the course? Are there any parts of the course that you wish you could change? What's the hardest part of this event from the perspective of the course?
Tracy: As I said above, I liked the chance to run this course so I could experience the 'big city lights' at night as well as the fact that half of it is along the coast. One concern that someone might have with a "road race" of this size is that you might have to deal with a lot of stopping at stoplights, etc. Well, this is of little concern in this race because much of it is run on river beds and bike paths along the ocean. Obviously, if you could eliminate ALL of the stop lights, that would be an improvement, but then you'd miss out on getting to experience some of what CA city life is all about. I think this course is almost as perfect as it can get for a 100-mile road race! I think the only thing that would improve this race is eliminating the short section on PCH out of Long Beach and into/through Wilmington. The only reason I say this is because it is a bit difficult to navigate for crew people who are on bikes. My pacer (on foot) and I had no problems navigating this, but it's tough for folks on bicycles. That said, I see no way to remove this part of the course, and it is such a short part of the race anyway. It just adds to the experience and gives the race more 'flavor.'
Darren: There's a fundraising component to this event. Was it hard to meet the minimum $100 requirement?
Tracy: Not at all! I was a lazy fundraiser last year because I had already tapped out all my friends and family for another fundraiser race that I had done, so that year, all I did was post my link to Facebook a few times and said that my goal was $200. In no time, I had that much and a little more. This year, I knew that this was going to be the last 100-mile race that I was going to run (I wanted to start focusing more on other things in life that were important to me and I was missing out on them due to all the training it takes to prepare for 100-milers). Thus, I wanted to really add meaning to this race, run it in honor of others, and do some 'societal good,' so I set my fundraising goal at $10,000 and started posting my link every few days on Facebook. Or, every time someone would donate via my link on Facebook, I would publicly thank them on my Facebook page and also add the link to my fundraising page again. Sometimes this meant that I was posting my link to my Facebook page several times a day.
I found out that the trick to getting people to want to donate more to my cause was for ME to want to raise more money! Sounds strange and simple, and it is. When my goal was only $200, people made $5 and $10 donations. When I stated that I wanted to raise $10,000, I still got some of those $5 and $10 donations, but most of my donations were $100 or more. Also, my goal to add meaning to my race and raise as much money for the 100 Mile Club® resonated with others and many of my friends shared my link several times on their Facebook page for me. One person (my pacer, Sally Lachman, who would be running the last 50 miles of the race with me) even physically sent out 40 letters to her friends and family members and raised nearly $800 toward my goal. I didn't mail out ANY letters. I used Facebook and email. Although I did not meet my goal of $10,000. I raised over $6,400 and it wasn't hard at all.
Darren: This is a crewed event (you must have pacer at night). How important is crew for this event? Did you have any trouble finding volunteers to help you?
Tracy: Having a pacer/protector/safety person at night during this event is crucial for safety's sake. I have run many trail 100s with no pacer and no crew and am quite independent. This race, however, goes along the LA River Bike Trail and through some city areas at night that are quite busy and traffic-laden. It's much easier for a runner to enjoy the race and these areas at night when you have a buddy with you and you feel safe. No matter if you are running through a "good area" or a "bad area" of a city—in a race or on a training run—if you have to run at night, it is always much safer to have someone with you. I applaud the race director for establishing this pacer requirement and sticking to it.
Not only is it much safer to have someone with you at night, they also help to keep you from getting lost and can provide motivation when you need it most or distract you from some discomforts you might have during the race. In fact, I can safely and pretty accurately tell you that my crew and, more specifically my pacers, helped me shave at least an hour and probably more accurately 1.5 to 2 hours off of my time had I been solo. Having them (Sally and Bev) there by my side made me want to do as well as I could for them. Their encouragement and entertaining interactions kept me upbeat and optimistic throughout the night. Had I been solo, I would have focused more on my fatigue instead of on how well I wanted to do and how well THEY wanted me to do. So, not only was my race time faster with the pacers, it was MUCH more pleasant with them there! They (pacers/crew) are your safety net in many ways. Their importance is unquestionable.
I did have some problems finding crew the first year I ran this race, but this last year I had no problem finding a person to run with me the last 50, one to ride a bike along the last 50 and a couple who drove a truck around to about 12 different points on the course during the last 50 miles.
Darren: Knowing the course beforehand must be important. How did you learn the course? How important was this to your success?
Tracy: First off, I'd like to commend the race organizers for the superb job that they do of marking the course! This is not an easy job and the course is always well marked. Nevertheless, we runners aren't always focused on the markings and might miss some and get off course. Furthermore, there are often people out on these race courses who aren't a part of the race and who get enjoyment out of removing course markings knowing it will send runners off course.
For these reasons, I can't stress enough the importance of KNOWING THE COURSE ahead of time!!! I have lived in this area for years and run a good portion of this course on my daily and weekly training runs. I do know parts of the course like the back of my hand. However, there are parts of this course that are tricky and if some of the markings get taken down or you don't happen to look where the markings are, you could get off course and add some extra, unwanted miles to your race. A pacer can help you to find markers and it is great to have them as a "second pair of eyes," but many pacers don't always know the course as well as they should, so YOU need to be personally responsible for knowing the course ahead of time.
I was sure to study the online maps of the course thoroughly the first year I ran the race because I had other plans that conflicted with EVERY training run that year. I sat at my computer and studied where all the turns were. I also printed out the maps for my pacer and crew and sent them the online links ahead of time and told them how important it would be for them to KNOW THE COURSE so that I could rely on them to help me make my way through the course at night. This did not prevent me from 'starting to get lost' though. At one point, early in the race, I would have gone astray (a marker had been removed) had it not been for another runner behind me who told me where to go. Later on, in the night, I was quite worried in a few areas because I wasn't sure of the course. While I didn't get lost, not having done the training runs and not knowing perfectly the latter parts of the course resulted in MUCH added stress and worry—NOT something one needs at night when one is fatigued!!
This year, my pacer ran several of the training runs that the race director scheduled with me and we even went off course on one of those—DURING THE DAY AND WHEN WE WEREN'T TIRED—so this really shows you why you should take advantage of the training runs that are scheduled/provided for your convenience! We carried a map of the course with us for the training runs, but this is not something you want to have to do during the race. Reading maps wastes valuable time and energy.
Because I knew the course well this year and so did my pacers, I never had to worry at any point about where I needed to go. It made the race so much more enjoyable and I wasted less time because I didn't have to refer to my maps during the night to figure out where to go.
Darren: Do you have any further advice for someone who wants to run the EC100?
Tracy: The only thing I would add is the importance of proper training and being consistent with getting in the long runs. This is a fantastic race, put on for a GREAT CAUSE, facilitated by some of the friendliest, most generous people you'd ever want to meet—people who genuinely care about your successful finish and safe travels!! Being physically and mentally prepared makes this journey safe and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Darren: Do you plan to run the EC100 next year?
Tracy: While I do not plan to run EC100 this year or any other 100-miler, the addition of the NEW 50-Mile event is enticing. I am considering running the 50-Mile event, but I would really like to give back to this race and it's runners by helping with training runs and by being a pacer/crew for someone in need. I've been given so much help through my many years of running ultra-endurance events and now it's my time to give back and 'pay it forward.' I've derived so much pleasure from this race, it's organizers, and also the staff at the 100 Mile Club®, that I would really like to 'return the favor' by helping them in any way that I can.
Darren: Thanks Tracy
Tracy: You're welcome!

Minecraft introduce splitscreen mode for Xbox
According to Microsoft, XBLA Minecraft is all set to introduce a four-player split-screen mode, that will allow groups of fans to work together on their building projects. Online gamers can also look forward to a multi-player split-screen mode, that allows up to eight people to play and work together.
Fans can expect the new multi-player component to be based around the PC game's Survival Mode, and will require groups to work together and create inhabitable structures. It is a nice alternative to solitary games of Minecraft, Poker or RPG single-player console games.
The multi-player mode will differ from alternative games. If you want to play in a group, both the online and split-screen options are confined to your Friends Lists. Therefore you won't be able to craft a brand new world with a random group of strangers, like you can in World of Warcraft etc.
Roger Carpenter, the lead producer says: "This is to keep it all friendly and non-destructive. That was a request from Mojang - to make it that kind of experience."
How is it going to work? One player will take command of each map, and will have the power to make it available to other groups of friends. "Whoever hosts the map is the owner. Everyone else joins and the game stores all their data so they can easily return," says Carpenter.
You will also find the inventory and crafting interfaces have been updated. A handy menu will allow players to select objects to craft, and will inform them of its function, and how to construct it. Carpenter has also hinted that the XBLA version of Minecraft may also have Avatar customisation options.
There is not an exact release date for the new conversion. All we know is that it will drop Spring 2012. Can't wait.

Re: Species 8472: What were their motives?
I think they already had their over and over attack and would now be seeking new information. They would be looking for races in their collective database that have some similarity to Species 8472, even races they rejected as not worth assimilating but who have some biological likeness that could be useful. I could see them going back to some waste planet with inter-dimensional nudibranchs and working out how to assimilate them as it might be applicable to Species 8472.
It's going to be a serious dint on their perfection until they figure it out.

Flake, flake, crunch, crunch. Buttery thin layers of pastry that melt in your mouth. That's phyllo dough.
After making Chocolate Banana Strudel for this week's food column, several sheets of phyllo were wrapped up and sealed in a zip-top bag in my refrigerator. Although thawed phyllo dough keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a month, I was anxious to use it up.
One of the things I appreciate about phyllo is its versatility. It can be wrapped around sweet or savory ingredients. It can be rolled into logs, folded into triangles or layered in a baking dish to form a thin, delicate crust.
To make Tropical Cream Phyllo Tarts, the phyllo is shaped into cups to hold creamy filling. I layered three sheets of phyllo, brushing melted between each layer. The sheets are cut into 4 equal pieces. Each piece is gently pushed into a buttered cup of a muffin tin and then baked. This step can be done ahead of serving time. If you make them early in the day, just let them sit out on a cooling rack on the counter.
The pudding mixture can also be prepared early in the day. You can fold in the whipped cream when it's time to put the dessert together. Tropical Cream is quick to make with instant vanilla pudding mix. I enhanced the tropical flavors of the dessert by adding some Zola Tropical Blend Energy smoothie. I had some in my refrigerator. (A few sips in the afternoon is a refreshing pick-me-up.) I find Zola in the refrigerated case in my local grocery store. If I hadn't had the Zola on hand, I would have used pineapple juice.
Fruit becomes sweeter when it is grilled. I hadn't had grilled pineapple since last summer. I almost forgot how delicious it is. I had never thought about grilling mango, but it works.
To prepare the fresh pineapple for grilling, cut off the top and base. Use a sharp knife to cut wide strips of the peel away from the fruit. Cut just deep enough to remove the skin. Remove any remaining little eyes with the tip of the knife. Slice the pineapple into 8 disks. Then use a coring tool or sharp paring knife to remove the tough center portion of each disk. I find that a small (1 1/2-inch) round cookie cutter works great for this job.
To get the mango ready for grilling, just cut off the stem end to form a flat base. Stand the mango upright on work surface. Cut both cheeks away from the flat pit inside, getting as close as you can to the pit. Use a grapefruit spoon or a teaspoon to slide underneath the fruit, gently removing it from the skin. You'll wind up with two large pieces of mango to put on the grill.
This is a great do-ahead dessert. Phyllo cups can be prepared early in the day along with the Tropical Cream. Get the fruit ready so that at serving time, all you have to do is brush the pieces with butter and place them on the grill.
Tropical Cream Phyllo Tarts with Grilled Mango and Pineapple are light and refreshing.
Flake, flake. Crunch, crunch. Yum, yum.
Tropical Cream Phyllo Tarts with Grilled Mango and Pineapple
- 6 sheets phyllo dough
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice or Tropical Blend Smoothie (such as Zola brand)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream, whipped
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
- 1 whole ripe pineapple
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 8 whole strawberries
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush 8 cups of a muffin tin with some of the melted butter.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on work surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter, then lay a second sheet on top. Brush with melted butter. Lay third sheet on top and brush with melted butter. Cut phyllo in half crosswise and then lengthwise to create 4 equal pieces. Press each piece into a buttered muffin cup. Repeat with remaining 3 sheets of phyllo.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until phyllo is golden brown. Carefully remove phyllo cups from muffin tin and cool on wire rack.
Combine pudding mix, milk and juice in a large bowl. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in sour cream. Cover pudding mixture and refrigerate.
Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium to medium-high heat. Brush pineapple and mango with remaining melted butter and place directly on grill rack. Grill about 2 minutes per side, or until fruit is heated through and cut sides are golden.
Remove pudding mixture from refrigerator and fold in whipped cream.
Place a slice of grilled pineapple on each dessert plate. Chop grilled mango into small chunks. Spoon tropical cream into each phyllo tart. Place a filled tart on top of each pineapple slice. Arrange chopped mango around outside of tart. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coconut over each tart and around pineapple slice. Top each Tropical Cream Tart with a whole fresh strawberry. Serves 8.
- I like to toast coconut by placing it in a heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring until golden. As soon as it reaches the color I want, I transfer it to a shallow dish to cool.

mosquito problem
Hi, I just recently got a horse. We keep her here at my house. Unfortunately, where I live is rice farming country. So basically, the fields hold water and do not drain. We just had a lot of rain recently, so the mosquito population has sky rocketed. This morning, I went out to feed the horse and the poor baby was COVERED in mosquitos! She was miserable. I put some fly spray on and it killed the ones that were on her when I sprayed, but then a whole new swarm jumped on as if I had never sprayed.
So, what brand of spray should I use on her? Also, is there anything I can spray the field with? Obviously with her grazing on it, the spray needs to be safe.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
The mosquitos are terrible around here too. Make sure the grass in and around your paddock is not too long, mosquitos like foilage. If possible, stable her overnight, or at least dusk/dawn when they are at their worst. For some reason, the mosquitos rarely go in the barn. If she cannot be indoors, have her wear a fly sheet and mask to minimize the exposed body parts.
You should do a search on this forum about effective fly/mosquito sprays, there are some good home made recipes that include using apple cider vinegar and Avon Skin So Soft.

USA Triathlon Celebrates One-Year Mark Until London 2012 Olympic Games
To celebrate the one-year mark to the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremonies, USA Triathlon has launched a special web page to look ahead to the London Games. Visit usatriathlon.org for athlete profiles, a look at the Olympic triathlon course, feature stories, video from Susan Williams' 2004 medal-winning performance and much more.
The first qualifier for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Triathlon Team will be held Aug. 6-7 on the 2012 Olympic course in London's Hyde Park. Nine Americans will chase a top-nine finish, which can secure one of the first spots on the 2012 squad.
Laura Bennett (Boulder, Colo.), Sarah Groff (Hanover, N.H.), Sarah Haskins (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Gwen Jorgensen (Milwaukee, Wis.) and Jillian Petersen (Colorado Springs, Colo.) will compete in the Saturday, Aug. 6 women's race. Matt Chrabot (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Manuel Huerta (Miami, Fla.), Hunter Kemper (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Jarrod Shoemaker (Maynard, Mass.) will represent the men Sunday, Aug. 7.
The 2012 women's Olympic triathlon will be held Aug. 4, followed by the men Aug. 7. Both events will feature 55 of the world's top triathletes. Visit london2012.com for more on the Games.
Triathlon is anticipated to be one of the most exciting events of the Games, and also one of the most accessible with Londoners being able to watch the event for free.
With such an exciting event just one year out, the top American athletes are aiming for a breakout performance in London. The U.S. is the only nation to qualify the maximum number of competitors — three men and three women — in each Olympic triathlon. Williams captured the 2004 bronze, and Team USA will look to add to that total next year.

Nazca : Michelin's recommendations
While the town of Nazca may be of little interest in its own right, it is very close to one of the major centres of Nazca culture. Cachuachi, the ruins of which lie 30km from the town, was the most important city built by this civilisation, of which fascinating testimonies remain in the Museo Antonini. However, the most amazing traces are the so-called Nazca Lines, huge drawings of animals and humans spread over 450km2 of pampas, whose construction and significance remain a mystery.

You could have been instrumental in giving information that would help to find this man, but locked it. I would hope in the future you would not lock a Golden Alert or an Amber Alert.

I always look forward to the excitement of wedding season. This year June was generous to have 5 Saturdays and God blessed me with weddings on all of them except one. He was extra kind and gave me a little recovery time too! After I shoot a wedding, my couples will be able to view their gallery within one week and actually hold their disk of images within two. For this reason, I am extremely busy and not able to blog as much. I had a few minutes to spare before a wedding today and thought I would share a few from last week's sunny union. Enjoy!
Huge thanks to the Vendors: The Overton Hotel, Domesticakes, and Lou Dee's Floral

Pop!Stars 2006
Six headliners from this year's conference.
- Lifestraw The brainchild of Danish, Dutch, and Israeli designers, Lifestraw is a fat, blue 12-inch drinking straw lined with a system of four separate filters to zap particulates, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. At a cost of about $3.50, it purifies enough drinking water for one person for six months to a year, without electricity, moving parts, or the material waste or transport costs of plastic bottles. Since premiering last year, the Lifestraw has won design awards around the globe and now awaits its full-blown debut in developing countries, where one in six people lack access to clean drinking water. This is just one of 20 world-changing inventions to be presented by Alex Steffen, an international journalist, strategic environmental consultant, and curator of Worldchanging.com.
- Stewart Brand You know the first photo of the Earth as seen from space? The one Al Gore says in An Inconvenient Truth is the most published photograph ever? NASA released that image in 1969 because of a national campaign started by Stewart Brand, who has spent his career getting people to think globally. He hung out with the Merry Pranksters in the 1960s, published the Whole Earth Catalog in the 1970s, cofounded the WELL (the prototype of an online social network) in San Francisco in the 1980s, and in the 1990s started the Long Now Foundation, a term coined by musician Brian Eno to represent a counterpoint to short-term thinking: "The point," writes Brand, "is to explore whatever may be helpful for thinking, understanding, and acting responsibly over long periods of time." Brand comes to Pop!Tech to discuss the future of the green movement in the current state of emergency and the adoption of "dangerous ideas" such as genetic engineering and nuclear power.
- Roger Brent Not long ago, Roger Brent taught a science novice how to make genetically engineered, weaponized smallpox—with just $29,700 for a second-hand DNA synthesizer and nucleotide base-pair info available free online. Luckily, the head of the Molecular Sciences Institute in Berkeley, California, was talking to a science writer, not an Al Qaeda mole. But Brent's point chills: Advances in "DNA-hacking technology" are coming to the point where waging biowar might soon be as easy as putting up a Web page. This year at Pop!Tech, Brent will argue that as technology catches up to the recent proliferation of genomic data on the Internet (what he calls "open-source biotechnology"), gene research and gene therapy will enter a whole new era. Trouble is, the bad guys are on that learning curve too. Brent's day job is the so-called Alpha project, a unique multidisciplinary effort tapping physics and supercomputers to get better measurements of actions within cells, in an effort to deduce clearer laws of biological behavior.
- R2 Camera In the 18th century, audiences across Europe and America flocked to see huge cylindrical paintings— 360-degree views of ancient Rome or Napoleon's armies on the steppes. The "panorama" was even patented by an Irish painter in 1787. Today, Clifford Ross, a 54-year-old abstract painter in both the MoMA's and Met's collections, creates analogous visual thrills: Obsessed with photography's precision, he invented the R1 camera in 2004, using a World War II aerial camera, vacuum pumps, mirrors, and a microscope. The R1 takes the highest- resolution photos ever—100 times sharper than the average professional digital camera—and Ross's billion-pixel photos caught the interest not only of the art world but of digital-imaging experts at Cornell and MIT, which led to the next generation. At Pop!Tech, he will unveil the R2, an array of nine digital video cameras, nine mirrors, and nine microphones arranged in a circle to shoot in 360 degrees—and capture 9 GB of data per minute. In fact, Ross is bringing realism to the point of hallucination: His goal is to shoot a cyclorama, a life-size movie in the round.
- Transmaterials Fulbright-winning architect Blaine Brownell brings the material world to the virtual, blogging about innovative building materials at Transstudio.com. His 2005 book, Transmaterials, is not a story of gender-reassignment surgery but a catalog and exploration of some 200 global eco-techno hybrids, an emerging field that has the attention of designers and scientists alike. Some examples:
- Wood.e Electrified wood: Plug your lamp into your end table.
- Parans A fiber-optic system that can pipe natural sunlight into any room.
- Richlite A renewable architectural material made of compressed paper.
- "Give back curtain" Fabric coated with photoluminescent pigments that shift colors, transforming and emitting light absorbed through a window or from a lamp.
- Flexicomb A honeycomb-like material made from bunches of drinking straws.
- Living surfaces Floors and tabletops with layers of pigment that respond to pressure and vibration. "Sensitile" flooring even shifts color as you move.
- Fatima Gailani As president of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, Gailani is one of Afghanistan's most visible women and community leaders. At Pop!Tech this year, she'll discuss the future of women in Islam. A descendant of the Prophet Muhammed and daughter of a leader of the resistance against the Soviets, she lived in exile in London for 24 years, engaging in both Islamic and secular studies, and acting as a diplomatic courier for her father. She returned home after the fall of the Taliban to take part in the country's constitutional convention. She calls the fate of the women of Afghanistan, their opportunities for education, and their participation in democracy, her "obsession."

Guest Blog: The Abi Chronicles
Here are some more "life lessons" that are resonating with me while visiting the magical domain of the Berlin playground. For the start of this little series, please go to the previous entry.
Object Lesson #5: Revel in Natural-World Imagery.
Froggies, camels, mythical dragons, snakes, huge bugs…these are the stuff of a kid's universe. The playgrounds here are like stage sets: zany, grotesque, colourful characters pop up their friendly faces and evoke nature – but with a storybook twist. So much richer with possibility, than Disney or Dora!
Object Lesson #6: Be One-Off.
Why should kids' environments be cookie-cutter? We adults demand variety and uniqueness in our playspaces (think of restaurants and bars!) – and it's even more important in playgrounds. I have never seen a piece of play equipment in Berlin replicated in any other playground: each swingset, slide or monkey bars, is a one-off piece. Because they're mostly hewn from tree trunks (without each gnarl or edge sanded off to total uniformity) there are cool challenges to balancing and holding on: kids get to know their way round their local pieces!
Object Lesson #7: Kids Need Respite from Adults!
A recent book by a Canadian mother about French parenting caused a bit of a storm back home. One caller to a radio show fulminated that "in France, children at the beach are ignored by their parents – and so they're forced to play by themselves!" Truth is, most children aren't just OK with the feeling they aren't being watched…they actually require it.
(Please know it's the feeling of not being watched I'm recommending: not NOT being watched. Thank you.)
Playgrounds in Berlin offer lots of inviting nooks for kids to take shelter from the adult world. This is especially crucial for kids who don't have backyards of their own to play in.
Object Lesson #8: Provide Loopholes
A hole in a fence…a patch of grass behind the shed…a swing that's supposed to go up and down but is much more fun when it goes round and round…these are the tiny customizations that imaginative, physically curious kids make for themselves. In Berlin playgrounds, the signs this is taking place, are everywhere.
Object Lesson #9: Distinguish Safety Culture from Liability Culture
In Berlin playgrounds, there are way more ouch-attunities than I'm used to at home in Toronto. (I saw a toddler mistake a sand-chute for a slide the other day, with painful consequences – but he'll return with extra caution: no serious harm done.) These playgrounds aren't dangerous places – far from it. But they do offer room for real challenge…mistakes…getting back on the horse and trying again. You can bet that the benefits (lower obesity rates, agile, physically intelligent kids) outweigh the cost of the odd boo-boo.

Imagination Theater is presenting one of the most popular and successful plays of modern times, "You Can't Take It With You," through Saturday, April 19.
Kaufman and Hart's comedic three-act play, set in New York, takes place in the mid-1930s and focuses on what happens when a family of conservatives clashes with an eccentric family of free spirits.
"You Can't Take It With You" was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1937 and has been revived numerous times on stage, in television and a well-known 1938 film starring James Stewart and directed by Frank Capra.
The play is being directed by Brenda Lindley from Auburn. Lindley is the former president of Placer Community Theater and directed numerous plays and musicals in the Auburn area including "She Loves Me," "Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical "and "Exit The Body."
Show times are Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $15.
Tickets can be purchased at imaginationtheater.net or 1-800-838-3006, as well as through the box office at 530-642-0404.
Imagination Theater, located on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds, 100 Placerville Drive in Placerville, brings quality, live, local community theater to El Dorado County.
