whoa, this was posted on moddb a tad late
Hehe yea sorry that was my fault. I entirely forgot about this episode due to final exams.
Haha, I feel ya on that one.
Almost forgot to check P17 due to finals, but now they're done, and I'm off to listen.
True that. Almost ready for the next one.
Typical William, detests doing the moddb posts. Traegar won't be pleased.
He can post whenever he pleases, its more to help him out not me. BTW its Traeger, learn to spell kthx
"kthx" Um, is this good grammar? either way, you are right, I just thought I would point out an oxymoron whilst I had the chance...
PS, no insult intended: An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines normally contradictory terms.
I do hate doing the moddb posts, but only out of my own laziness :P I do however see the incredible value to them - which is why I'm about to do this weeks!
I see the firing squad are almost in full attendance and getting into position... All we gotta do now is capture William! (That particular task wont be easy) XD
**** I HAD THAT IDEA FIRST D: (well i said cat sees barney seeing gordon)
a tad late but o well
thanks for your answer guys!
We are gonna have another follow-up about that question this week hehe.
Thanks for the feature guys, hope to have some more stuff out that will look better, for those of you looking, HLP starts at 1:01 into the cast, thanks again guys...
I meant 1 hour and 1 minute ;D
where do i find torment?????
i need more links, dont talk about cool stuff and then not link!
found it lol
Regarding games based on tv shows. I think enjoying the show actually helps the player tolerate lapses in quality :P

President, Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED)
Assets change the way you think about the future.
While poverty is often defined as a lack of income, Andrea Levere '83, president of the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED), says that a lack of assets is the real problem. CFED engages in advocacy and does research, working to create initiatives with the goal of helping poor people build assets. Prior to joining CFED, Levere was a director with the National Development Council.
Levere spoke to students at Yale SOM in 2012 about helping to build a road out of poverty.

About "A Place at the Table"
Get ready for Feast Portland and support Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon with a special screening of one of this year's most moving films - A PLACE AT THE TABLE !
A Place At The Table shows us how hunger poses serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation, and that it could be solved once and for all, if the American public decides - as they have in the past - that making healthy food available and affordable is in the best interest of us all. This powerful documentary sheds light on the issue by weaving interviews with experts and advocate such as Jeff Bridges and chef Tom Colicchio with the intimate portraits of three people struggling with food insecurity. "The film explains with devastating simplicity why so many go hungry in a country with more than enough food to go round." - London Evening Standard
Come early to grab classic McMenamins food and drink. Stay for a conversation following the film to learn more about what's happening in Oregon to solve the hunger crisis and how you can get involved.
Proceeds benefit the work of Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon
Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon is a non-profit that believes ending hunger is possible, and has a plan.
We envision an Oregon where everyone is healthy and thriving, with access to affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food. To bring that vision into reality we raise awareness about hunger, connect people to nutrition programs, and advocate for systemic changes that end hunger before it begins.

Foursquare is an online tool that tracks your movements through a city. By connecting you with friends and rewarding you for visiting new places, foursquare attempts to add some fun to being in the city. The first thing a user must do is create a profile on the website. This consists of a name, email address, and, most importantly, your cell phone number. By using this profile, you can make use of foursquare in two ways.
First, foursquare helps you connect with friends who may be near you in the city. By texting your whereabouts to the website, you are "checking-in.†By also keeping track of where your friends are "checking-in,†foursquare can alert you when you are close to each other. This is useful if you're not on a schedule and would like to spontaneously meet up with friends.
Secondly, foursquare provides a competitive atmosphere in which to explore the city. Each time you go to a location of interest within the city, you notify foursquare and write a quick phrase detailing your visit. Every time you do this, your profile is awarded points. The website will soon be keeping track of point-leaders, crowning those who are the most active. Additionally, every listed location within the city is placed into a category such as "Restaurant†or "Park.†By accruing many visits to locations within a certain category you can earn a "badge†for it. These games essentially exist to incentivize exploring a city.
Currently, the site is operating in 21 major US cities as well as Vancouver and Amsterdam. The website relies on users to add locations to their index for each city. Overall, the site's main draw is not the practical information it has regarding a city but rather the excitement it adds to being active. The most redeeming feature I found on the website was the ability to look up a location within a city and find comments and advice from people who had very recently been there. Despite seeming to be catered to young adults, it could also be a rewarding way to keep track of the things you do each day, kind of like an online diary.

I was just wondering if anyome has tried the pancakes. They sound lovely. But I thought the eggs were going to be nice until I tried them and was nearly sick!
Its so annoying when they bring out new products and you can't try them unless you want to do a big order or pay a £5 delivery fee.

Darmstadt and ISSUE Project Room celebrate the John Cage centenary year with this program of works for string ensemble and chorus. The evening's program includes Twenty Three, String Quartet in Four Parts, and Hymns and Variations.
Cage's Number Pieces, composed during the last six years of his life, feature a technical specification Cage referred to as Time Brackets, in which short fragments of musical material are given to each performer who can flexibly enter and exit the overall musical texture. Cage referred to these as enabling a kind of "earthquake proof" musical architecture. Twenty-Three (1988) is scored for twenty three string instruments who each have their own chronometer and can keep time independently of one another.
Cage's String Quartet in Four Parts was originally premiered in August of 1950 at the Black Mountain College and dedicated to Lou Harrison. The structure of the piece is influenced by Indian conceptions of the four seasons and associated each with a particular kind of force: creation, preservation, destruction and quiescence.
Hymns and Variations (1979) for twelve amplified voices is Cage's largest choral work. Utilizing material from the 18th Century American composer William Billings (considered the father of American choral music), Cage used a technique of "harmonic subtraction" to produce a 'sublimely beautiful series of long overlapping tones and empty spaces'. The inspiration behind this technique could be traced to the "erased De Koonings" of Cage's longtime associate Robert Rauschenberg.
The String Orchestra of Brooklyn is a close-knit group of musicians dedicated to exploring the breadth of the string repertoire, from the concerti of Bach to the latest experimental works by emerging composers. The orchestra also frequently invites its fellow wind, brass and percussion colleagues to join them for concerts throughout the year. Praised by The Wall Street Journal as "[an] excellent orchestra" and by the New York Times for its "vivid intensity," the String Orchestra of Brooklyn is passionately devoted to sharing its inclusive approach to music-making with the greater New York City area. The orchestra also seeks out collaborative projects with other like-minded performance ensembles and organizations, including ISSUE Project Room, American Opera Projects, GHOSTLIGHT Chorus, and the Fort Greene Park Conservancy. Founded in 2007 by violinist and conductor Eli Spindel, the SOB has quickly become an integral part of Brooklyn's vibrant musical community. Based at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights, the ensemble also presents an annual summer concert in Fort Greene Park, and holds regular chamber recitals around the borough.
Founded in 2010 by artistic director Evelyn Troester, Ghostlight Chorus is an elite chamber choir with 16-20 singers focusing on vocal/choral technique work, musicality, intonation and rhythm mastery, as well as creative improvisation.

I tweeted this morning about my red pants, snarkily saying "let the co-worker comments begin." And wouldn't you know it -- not a single comment. I walked around to every person's office and made sure that I walked away slowly, backwards. I was sure that these pants would be perfect for a Monday morning backhanded compliment but all I got was a few smiles. So that only means one thing. This outfit is....

i actually like the black shoes (they have a brown bottom which means they "match" the belt but i like that you're mixing it up with non-matching belt and shoes).ReplyDelete
p.s. those pants are awesome. i tried them on at the gap this weekend but they were soooooo tight on me that i couldn't bring myself to buy them, much as i liked them. the red is, of course, the badassest color of the bunch.
Hahahah!! That's so funny - is this a first??ReplyDelete
You pull them off soooo well.
CLOTHED MUCH, a modest fashion blog
who cares what they think anyway!
Maybe subconsciously though the red pants signaled danger so they decided to keep their disapproval to themselves ;) Personally I LOVE THEM and think they are such a bright breath of fresh air!ReplyDelete
Tania -- I had to size up. Because they were grotesquely tight.ReplyDelete
Daniela -- exactly.
Elaine and Monkeyface -- kisses.
LOVE the pants, they look amazing on you!ReplyDelete
Hahaha...I LOVE your outfit!! The pants are so amazing!!ReplyDelete
I see red everywhere...and I think Im going to hunt these little babies down!!
You look fabulous as always Kendi!!
Enter My F21 Gift Card Giveaway!!
I like the black shoes too - I actually think I like them better than the clogs, although I love those clogs!!ReplyDelete
Oh coworkers - I doubt mine would have marked my outfit for today as approved! Lord knows what they think about most of them! And I work mostly with women!
Small Time Style
Is that corduroy I see??!! I LOVE corduroy and have been waiting to see some on your blog. Last season jcrew had similar cords, I went with the mustard yellow. Love the red on you! WOOOO cords!ReplyDelete
Yay for the co-worker approved outfit! Those pants are brilliantly amazing on you Kendi. I think the peep toe heel looks fine, but I would have to agree the clogs would have been a tad better. :) I'm on the hunt now for some bright colored pants.ReplyDelete
xx Love & Aloha
**Swing by to enter my giveaway! :)
holy batman, those pants are incredible! I have a pair of chartreuse green cords like that and I love the statement they make.ReplyDelete
Those are deeeefinitely some wicked red-hot Tabasco pants (hopefully Tabasco-free) you got there. I love how the office approved, though. I think it'd be great if this was a recurring thing, featuring which outfits have been approved or not by your co-workers. xDReplyDelete
Toast with Charmalade
HA! my co-workers also make snarky comments about my outfits sometimes....i love your last pic! wish i had thought of that ;)ReplyDelete
Love the red with the denim!ReplyDelete
Yes I love the shoes, I think they look great with the skinnies cuz they're not to chunky a the end!! Cute cute cute as always :)ReplyDelete
I love the red pants!! I have a pair of yellow ones and you've inspired me to try them out again.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great post!
I'm loving the red cords! I posted about them a couple days ago, but you're convincing me that I might actually need to buy them and gasp...wear them! Especially if they are coworker approved!ReplyDelete
Maybe your coworkers have become immune to your high-fashion ways. :)ReplyDelete
so cute!!ReplyDelete
i have a giveaway coming up (:
hope you'll check it out
Well you certainly pull off those red pants, how could co-workers not approve?ReplyDelete
I especially like the combo of red & denim.
You have inspired me to revisit a pair of pink jeans i have hidden in my closet.
So patriotic Kendi :) I have this red pencil skirt from H&M that I haven't worn in public during the day. Lol...one of these days.ReplyDelete
Hahaha that's fantastic.ReplyDelete
oh lawwd!ReplyDelete
i am loving those red pants! so fantastic!
i bet your co-workers were so jealous of how smashing you looked that they didn't dare to comment..unless it's a compliment of course :)
Hilarious! Are your co-workers usually opinionated about your clothes? Always love your style combinations. xxReplyDelete
HAHAA!! so funnyy :)),, they r super redd,, =D,, do they always comment on what u wear?? hmm,,ReplyDelete
like your pants!! The color suits you!!ReplyDelete
You make me want to be more daring! But before I dash off to grow some "cojones" in the fashion department I also want to say, that you certainly rock these red pants!ReplyDelete
You look effortlessly chique! Love the red trousers!ReplyDelete
The pants are great!! I must seek them out myself! What a fun color and I can only hope they work on me half as good as they did on you! Size up? Good to know. Don't want to disappoint myself right out of the gate :/ReplyDelete
I like the pumps with them, it gives a nice feminine touch!
Wow, I love your trousers. Red is a step too far for me (only just risked white) but I love them on you.ReplyDelete
Love the fact that your co-workers approved, but are you a little bit disappointed that they didn't comment? As Oscar Wilde said, "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about..."
I love the red pants!ReplyDelete
Maybe your coworkers didn't think they were the most daring thing you've ever worn? I know my coworkers only comment if I'm wearing something REALLY out there.
I need to get myself a pair of those pants...
LOVE the black shoes - I think the clogs would have made the outfit very matchy-matchy!ReplyDelete
I just got rid of a pair of red cords because I couldn't find anything to wear them with.ReplyDelete
But you do it well!
love love love the red pants! They would totally be co-worker approved in my office!ReplyDelete
I do like the black shoe with this outfit but also have to admit that I went to Target to buy batteries and ended up combing the shoe section to see if maybe, just maybe I'd see those clogs. I'd have to agree that the person living in your car has good taste in shoes if they wear those clogs.
Like Tania, I tried those pants on and they looked tragic on me... sigh... but I LOVE how they look you!! I think they'd be awesome with the clogs too (but then I heart those clogs so much I'd put them with everything hehe)ReplyDelete
Congrats on co-worker approval... that's an elusive title
Not only do I love your fashion sense, but I also love your sense of humor. And I love the red pants!ReplyDelete
Those are some fabulous red pants. Did you get them recently? You are also making me covet a chambray shirt...ReplyDelete
love this. i have super bright cords that i will rework this look with :)ReplyDelete
speaking of which you're my inspiration today!! check it out.
Those pants are so awesome! It cracks me up that you guess what your coworkers will say. I do that sometimes too! I wore orange tights one day and my coworkers actually DID make comments...all.day.long.ReplyDelete
What is it with co-workers? I don't have that right now at my current job but one job it was a daily thing! Tried my hair curly one day - got called Big Hair all day. Wore furry boots back when that was in trend - got called little Indian girl. WTF?!ReplyDelete
Ha! Funny blog, sister! :)
oh man! i love your sense of humor! these pants are hot!! and i personally like this shoe choice a lot!ReplyDelete
i LOVE the red jeans. off to get a pair now. woo hoo!ReplyDelete
Love the pants and the last picture. Can't wait for you to remix them with clogs.ReplyDelete
I LOVE your pants! I have a pair of bright red pants, too, that I only wear with black, but the denim shirt is GENIUS. I'm gonna go find myself a denim shirt now...ReplyDelete
love the last picture - made me smile. :)ReplyDelete
I love the read pants! I would have felt the same way about them if I had worn them to work...I would have been waiting for some comments too! U can just call us "misunderstood"!ReplyDelete
hahaha! I love your blog, thank you for keeping the laughter and jokes rolling. and I am SO glad that your outfit is coworker approved because it is hot!!ReplyDelete
I love those pants! I tried them on at the Gap but sadly they just aren't cut for me at all so I had to leave them. *sniffle* But hey, glad to see they look so great on you! :DReplyDelete
haha, you're funny.ReplyDelete
I have to say, clogs would look really nice with this outfit - possibly even better than your heels, as you suggest - however, the heels add an elegant, sleek touch to the look which I like.
Overall I am a huge fan of your outfit...it's definitely something I would rock out in - heels or clogs.
Love the red pants! I applaude your pluckiness in wearing them to the workplace. Although they are in business casual dress code, I wouldn't wear them for the sheer amounts of comments and looks I would get from my co-workers!ReplyDelete
That's crazy that they didn't say anything! Or maybe they just said to themselves: "Oh yeah, that's just the crazy girl who wears red pants!" :D
That is so funny!! I know EXACTLY what you mean! I think your outfit looks fantastic and that they must agree! (Also, I think most backhanded compliments stem from jealousy!!)ReplyDelete
Haha Funny! Is it good or bad for your outfit to be co-worker approved?! This is a question I have to ask myself too...ReplyDelete
I have a pair of bright mustard cords from The Gap, and you've inspired me to try them for work.ReplyDelete
Love those red pants!ReplyDelete
Lovin the red pants, they look awesome!ReplyDelete

the coworker approved seal picture made me crack up! i love it. ooo small town fashion...ReplyDelete
Love the red cords! I bought the mustard yellow color last year.ReplyDelete
We are like this. I have very similar ones from a few years ago. It's almost a parallel universe kind of thing but you cut off your hair and age 20 years. Yes, like that.ReplyDelete
I love the red pants. It's a very brave movie. And I know it's faux-pass to say "I could never pull that off", but I don't think I could. I should try it though. This is nice inspiration. And I love your assortment of button up topsReplyDelete
Some of my co-workers read my blog. Apparently I as Facebook fodder a few weeks back. Eh.ReplyDelete
Love the red pants!
love this! And, i agree with you about having a style blog... somehow pictures seemt to be more honest than the mirror.ReplyDelete
The Flip Side of Oz
The red trousers are cute. I work in a place where I'm pretty sure my co-workers would approve even if I came in dressed in sweatpants. :/ReplyDelete
I have a similar pair of red pants from J. Crew and last time I wore them the bus driver on our school field trip (i teach preschool) commented that he "couldn't lose me in those bright pants." SOME people can't handle the red pants.ReplyDelete
Love the pairing with the chambray top.
Ha ha, love this post. These red pants are gorgeous!ReplyDelete
So I also have these red pants but you pull them off much better than me. I also had to size up because they were ridiculously tight!ReplyDelete
P.S. I think these shoes are fun with the outfit.
I have the same pants and every time I wear them, I get comments...some good, some shocked!ReplyDelete
They look great on you!

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The University of South Alabama Children's and Women's Hospital says a Mobile triplet girl could be the world's smallest surviving baby.
Oliviyanna Harbin-Page was born to 16-year-old Jamesha Harbin on
Aug. 5 after 21 to 24 weeks of gestation. She weighed just 259 grams, or 9.1 ounces. But the tiny triplet now weighs 3 pounds 2 ounces.
The other two triplet girls are identical and have graduated from their incubators and headed home with their parents.
A medical team that has been caring for the girls at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine say Oliviyanna's homecoming could be in the next few weeks.

General Elektriks is the brainchild of RV Salters. A French national and keen vintage keyboard player, he initiated GE just before moving to San Francisco. Using a computer, his oldschool keys and a SM-57 mike, he started sewing together loops, Funky keyboard licks, ethereal melodies and digital tweaking. GE became a musical journal that followed RV through his move to Seattle, then back down to the Bay Area, Berkeley, where he currently resides. There, he started laying keys down for the Quannum crew. Quannums own Lateef The Truth Speaker and Chief Xcel returned the favor by guesting on GE. Consisting of 12 songs from the journal, Cliquety Kliqk was first released in France by Bleu Electric, then picked up by Compost for Europe and by Quannum for the US.

Disneyland for haute cuisine? When you're at the Blue Bayou, absolutely! The ambience is strange, in large part to the slack-jawed tourists passing by in the Pirates of the Caribbean boats, but the food is superb. The filet mignon is really juicy and comes with great vegetables and potatoes.1313 S. Harbor, Anaheim. Call Mickey. $$
Okay, so everyone knows about Las Brisas and fills its patio come weekend, even if it's not summertime. But everyone does it for a reason. Besides its terrific take on Mexican seafood, Las Brisas overlooks the Pacific on Laguna Beach's craggy cliffs—a bluff where God no doubt imagines the ideal seaside dinner. 361 Cliff Dr., Laguna Beach, (949) 497-5434. $$
The food is so-so, and the drinks are insultingly expensive. But Café Tu Tu Tango's expansive patio situates itself in that nexus of the Block where the finest himbos and skanks pass by.

The finest Cuban cuisine in Orange County. The finest (last?) traffic circle in Orange County. The finest neighborhood to take relatives out on a balmy Sunday morning to prove to them Orange County still has buildings more than 50 years old. The finest patio dining in Orange County.

At the Green Parrot, they know how to dish up hospitality instead of an endless bread basket and a maitre d's neglect. The prix fixe, a four course tasting menu, is affordable and comes with a not-teeny blood-orange salad with bleu cheese and walnuts, and even a nicely crusted crème brûlée. Eat it outside in the twinkly-lighted patio or inside their beautiful dining hall.2035 N. Main St, Santa Ana, (714) 550-6040; www.greenparrotcafe.net. $$
The ambiance makes this the perfect date restaurant. The Nuevo Latino menu leans toward Cuban but mixes in Jamaican, Mexican and other flavors.

The French/Belgian restaurant L'Hirondelle is a San Juan Capistrano institution, used as proof by residents that their city offers more than Father Serra this and swallows that (although the restaurant's name is French for"the swallow"—guess one can't fly too far from the nest). The lapin à la liégeoise (rabbit) is perfect, tasting like a duskier, moister turkey, with a plum wine sauce lending a bittersweet taste with juicy plum skins mixed in. 31631 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, (949) 661-0425. $$$RAMOS HOUSE CAFÉ
Just some of the aural wonders this bistro offers to its patio patrons: the chug-chug of trains barreling down the nearby tracks, the metallic ringing of the mission bells, wind chimes gently clanging against one another and birds chirping without care. And the food? Excellent. 31752 Los Rios St., San Juan Capistrano, (949) 443-1342. $$TAPS FISH HOUSE & BREWERY
Located in the desperately fine-dining-deficient Brea, this place has everything—from steaks, chicken and pastas to an immense oyster bar.

DETROIT -- Valtteri Filppula will suit up for the Detroit Red Wings at left wing on the second line Thursday night against the Phoenix Coyotes.
Filppula missed Detroit's previous game Tuesday night in St. Louis with a deep laceration on his lower right shin that happened in a loss at Colorado last weekend – when a skate blade caught his skin just below the shin pad and above the boot.
Had he ever been cut in a similar fashion?
"Not like this," Filppula said after going through the morning skate Thursday. "This one's deep. I got cut last season a little the same way but it wasn't as bad. It's not a fun spot to have it happen, right on the (skate boot), but it shouldn't take too long (to heal). It could've been a lot worse. I might've had to rest much longer."
Filppula couldn't go through an entire morning skate at full speed on Tuesday, which is why he missed the game against the St. Louis Blues. On Thursday at Joe Louis Arena, he said it felt good enough to get up to a faster speed during drills.
"I felt a lot better," said Filppula, who has 8 goals and 21 points. "It just freshly happened, so it's not good yet. But it's a lot better than it was last time."
Filppula is also wearing Kevlar socks to protect the wound and says he will wear them from now on, even after the cut heals.
"It felt fine," he said. "This is the first time I've ever wore it, but it felt pretty good. I noticed no difference, so I might as well keep it. That's how we learn, right? Something has to happen first."

GPCR second messenger assays
Following activation, GPCRs transmit information within cells via the modulation of two second messengers, cyclic AMP for Gi/s coupled receptors and inositol-triphosphate (IP3) for Gq coupled receptors.
While cAMP accumulates in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (e.g. IBMX), IP3 is unstable and rapidly enters the metabolic inositol phosphate cascade. However, in the presence of lithium chloride, IP1, a metabolic product of IP3, accumulates and offers a viable biomarker for the visualization of Gq-coupled receptor activity.

MyNameIsJohnMichael live @ The Earl
Last week a friend mentioned that a band from New Orleans was passing through Atlanta, and that I should check them out because they are a must see. Their name, MyNameIsJohnMichael, sounded a little familiar but when I listened to their album, I didn't recognize the music. Apparently the band came to fruition based on a dare. In 2008, John Michael, was bound to create one song per week and post the results on his website…the end result was 52 new tracks in a year and a six-piece band (consisting predominantly of Loyola students).
As far as the concert goes, the band was great and I was rather impressed. On the way to the show, I was listening to their album (which was built on fan choices), and while I could certainly sense their talent, I had a sneaking suspicion that a stage, opposed to a studio is their sweet-spot . During the first song of the night, in the empty Earl, I decided that MyNameIsJohnMichael can only be fully appreciated in a live setting because recordings don't due them justice (Like fellow NO natives, MuteMath). Plus, it's rather impressive to watch the musically inclined band members switch off and on with various instruments.
I honestly don't know enough about MyNameIsJohnMichael to rattle off song specific feedback, but from a newcomer's prospective, I can say I prefer the percussion heavy, slower side of the band. I also adore the fact that they incorporate a New Orleans, street feel into their tunes…whether it be a song featuring the sound of a tin garbage-can being hit with a chain or a track featuring the trumpet accompanied by some tambourine and keys.
Oh, and I must mention, Larry. You know you are in the presence of infectious live music when an older gentleman wielding an umbrella cannot help but wiggle around the dance floor, shoulder shrugging and jazz stepping, without a care in the world!
Take A Listen: The One from MyNameIsJohnMichael

I recommend checking out their live performance of "The One" (not taken at this show).

(PhD U of Aberdeen, Scotland 1985; Professor of Geosciences, Institute of Geography, School of GeoSciences, U of Edinburgh) The development of both the principles and applications of tephrochronology; Quaternary environmental reconstruction; Human-environment interactions, climate change and glacier fluctuations; Iceland and the North Atlantic islands (email@example.com)
Current PhD graduate student supervisions in geography at the University of Edinburgh: 3
Completed PhD graduate supervisions at U Edinburgh, 1997-present: 23
My research is focused on understanding environmental change over timescales from decades to millennia, and their significance for human society. A key theme is the development and application of tephrochronology; a dating technique based on the identification and correlation of volcanic ash layers. Tephrochronology is important because tephra layers form time-parallel marker horizons or isochrons that provide a powerful dating framework for the high-resolution spatial analysis of environmental change. It is possible to precisely relate spatial patterns of environmental change, inferred using tephras, to high resolution time series of data from ice core records and written records of historical events in order to better understand both climate change and the human dimensions of environmental change. In addition to many applications in the study of environmental change tephra (and the volcanic eruptions that produced them) may also act as agents of change, affecting climate, natural environments and human society.
A particular interest has been the use of fine-grained micro-tephra deposits. These deposits are important because they permit both increased dating resolution in areas close to volcanoes and the use of tephrochronology over very long distances. Since 1982, joint research in Iceland and the NE Atlantic region has contributed to the development of one of the world's largest and most detailed tephrochronologies: ca. 12,000-year record including more than 300 tephras, and more than 2,000 original stratigraphic sections. Applications of tephrochronology range from dating archaeological deposits to understanding the patterns and processes of soil erosion, slope movements, glacier chronology and the study of glacier processes.

It's time to make my husband happy. Tonight he's gettin' some…Not what you think, you naughty little thing! I'm making BBQ ribs for him. In the crock pot. Cooking with my crock pot (or slow cooker) makes me feel so housewife-y. And as you know, I really enjoy that.
A while ago, I found this new brand at Safeway – 'Open Nature' – and have been buying those meat products whenever I couldn't find organic meat. Guess who was pretty pleased when finding Open Nature spare ribs on sale?
We all know the "natural" label is ambiguous, overused and even abused, but Safeway strives to be transparent, specifying four criteria: Raised without antibiotics, No added hormones, Fed an all-vegetarian diet and No artificial preservatives. ~ Source: refresh.com
Now, be a good wife, bookmark this recipe and make your man happy. He'll be grateful. I promise.
- Rack of spare ribs
- Large bottle of BBQ sauce (I'm a busy SAHM, I have no time to make everything from scratch. Don't judge!)
- Apple sauce (unsweetened)
- White mushrooms, sliced
- Wash potatoes, quarter the potatoes (I never peel potatoes) and throw in crock pot. They should cover the bottom of the pot.
- Clean ribs from fat, cut to fit pot and put on top of potatoes.
- Pour a bit of apple sauce over everything.
- Pour lots of BBQ sauce over everything.
- Set timer for 8 hours on 'low heat'.
- The BBQ and apple sauce turn into a soup-like consistency. So an hour or so before the time runs out, I discard of the watery BBQ sauce and refill the pot with more BBQ sauce.
- Add mushrooms to crock pot.
- The meat is probably totally done and ready to enjoy by now. Depending on when your hubby gets home, you can serve the deliciousness.
- Try artisan bread or corn on the cob with Basil Garlic Butter as a side.

White Sox coach wants to see a fight
Posted on: August 17, 2010 2:04 pm
Edited on: August 17, 2010 2:18 pm
So, feeling nostalgic for the good ol' days of the Reds-Cardinals series? Get ready for the three-game series between the White Sox and Twins starting tonight at Target Field.
The teams had a little run-in last week when Chicago's Carlos Quentin was hit twice and manager Ozzie Guillen took exception to the beanings.
It's not just Ozzie that's fired up, either. Here's what White Sox bullpen coach Juan Nieves had this to say Sunday on a Chicago radio show (via the Star Tribune ): "I've even thought of telling guys, 'hey [Matt] Thornton, smoke [Joe] Mauer, see if you can start a fight.' We're not afraid of anybody."
If Mauer gets hit in any of these three games, there could be some serious fireworks.
The Twins currently lead the White Sox by three games in the AL Central and Chicago is seven games back in the wild card.

Nice!!! This is the tightest full length effort yet by the extended Family Tree collective. Tone B Nimble, Capital D, Iomos Marad, Greenweedz, Rita J, Daily Plannet and the rest have reined in their sound for this one – a very strong set of classically-trained hip hop that should take another step towards establishing Chicago as a vital breeding ground for thoughtful, collaborative hip hop. Like recent work by J Live, J Sands, Lone Catalysts, Little Brother and other natural hip hop crews the Family Tree keep their feet firmly-planted in the roots – crisp samples, loose tongues, and innovative rhymes. The nod to School House Rock is appropriate – the Fam aims to entertain and enlighten – just as the landmark cartoon did, and if they manage to teach some people how strong the Chicago hip hop scene can be, we couldn't be any happier! Tracks include "Spit It", "I Am", "Blow The Spot", "Motive", "Virgo", "Rocks For You", "Move", "Horse", "Flow", "Push, Move, Build", "Save It", and more. © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.

You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise.

2015 Feng Shui Ways to face the Challenge
Welcome the New Yearby lighting 9-wishes wishing candles, burning 9 sticks of wishing incense and doing the wish-fulfilling paper ritual (compose of three separate wishing papers for fortune, health and harmony). NOTE; Number 9 sounds like the Chinese word for "longevity", "near-coming" or "future luck" and represents fulfillment or completion. This ritual is a symbolic way of letting go of mistakes and failures of the past and bringing a new start into one's life.
- For Good Luck People - they are born on the year of the Zodiac Rabbit, Zodiac Horse and Zodiac Pig. They will perform the "Welcoming Wealth Ritual" for consecutive five (5) days - starting on Chinese New Year (February 19, 2015) up to the Poo Woo Day (February 23, 2015).
- For Bad Luck People - they are born on the year of the Zodiac Goat/Sheep, Zodiac Ox/Cow, Zodiac Rat and Zodiac Dog. They will perform "Pacifying Tai Sui Ritual" on every first (1st) day and fifteenth (15th) day of Chinese Lunar Calendar.
- For Fair Luck People - they are born on the year of the Zodiac Tiger, Zodiac Dragon, Zodiac Snake, Zodiac Monkey and Zodiac Rooster. They will perform the "Gain Helpful Friends Ritual" on every first (1st) day of Chinese Lunar Calendar.
An extra ritual is for people who has JINX NINE. What is Jinx Nine?
- If your age is 9, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89 and 99, the Taoist termed it Ming Nine (明九 in Chinese). When a person with age "nine" multiples, it seems that when disaster come, it will be more worsen or intensified.
- However if your age is 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72 and 81, the Taoist termed it hidden nine 暗九. When a person has age with the above mentioned, the person is easier to get sick or worst meet death. They should not enter new entrepreneurship, investment, go travel, moving, and more should pay attention to their physical health as well as their families.
NOTE: Both situation, this ritual can be used to protect the Jinx Nine; especially more so to the middle age or senior citizen with age 45, 49, 54, 59, 63, 69, 72, 79, 81, 89 and 99.

Parcells Picks Up Pioli's Trash
Shortly after he took over as general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, Scott Pioli sent a handful of Carl Peterson holdovers packing. They say that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Today that other man is Pioli's father-in-law Bill Parcells and the possible treasure is Brian Johnston.
He was drafted by the Chiefs as a 4-3 defensive end. He played in nine games for the Chiefs in 2008 and made three tackles in that span. But when KC hired Scott Pioli and then switched to a 3-4 defensive alignment, the team cut Johnston.
Well, now the Dolphins, a 3-4 team, are hoping Johnston can move well enough and not be exposed in space so much as to be a possible answer as an OLB. We'll see who's smarter, Parcells or Pioli.
As the many Pioli-Haley cuts start circulating around the league it will be interesting to see which ones go the way of Will Franklin (nowhere), Bernard Pollard (impact starter) or somewhere in between.
In this case, do you think Parcells will needle Pioli if Johnston ends up working out for the Dolphins? Y'know, in between OTAs and training camp when the Pioli family has a nice holiday at the lake and Scott is cooking some burgers on the grill when his father-in-law walks over to have a chat.
"Man, you should see this kid Johnston busting his butt, he could start for us. He's really tough as nails. Your team sure could use a guy like that… oh, wait. Nevermind."

Pot legalization advocates say they're gaining ground
Published Date Written by David CarkhuffOver a year ago, Rep. Diane Russell, D-Portland, raised eyebrows when she proposed legislation legalizing marijuana.
Today, Russell — who's up for re-election in District 120, which includes part of Munjoy Hill — says she has reintroduced her bill, LD 1453, with hopes of shepherding it through the Maine Legislature in the next session.
Russell, whose "Act to Legalize and Tax Marijuana" failed in 2011, is expected to restoke the legalization debate in 2013. She advocates legalization as a way to rechannel public resources now used to prosecute marijuana users.
"I hope that one day, that we'll be in a place where we're better allocating our resources toward addiction instead of turning pot smokers into criminals," Russell said.
Russell's legalization bill was something new, and people hadn't seen anyone "throw down" in that way on the issue, Russell said. Now, assuming she wins re-election, Russell said the chances of passage are even greater.
"I reintroduced LD 1453 already in advance of next year. Obviously I have to win my re-election before that takes effect," Russell said.
"There has been a dramatic shift in the level of support for legalization since I put that bill in," Russell said Friday.
Medical marijuana is considered a separate issue from legalization, and Russell said her stance on legalization helps advocates of medical use of marijuana.
"It creates a little more space for the medical marijuana community," she said.
Russell is a guest speaker at Atlantic CannaFEST, an event informing the public about Maine's medical marijuana program. The festival is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 1, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Deering Oaks Park.
Proponents of medical marijuana, including Republican legislators such as Rep. Deb Sanderson, R-Chelsea, are closely watching as the state's Division of Licensing and Regulatory Services under the Health and Human Services Department reviews public comments on proposed rules governing the state's medical cannabis law.
Sanderson said the state should not implement rules that are more restrictive and divergent from the intent of the citizen's initiative legalizing medical marijuana passed in 2009.
Russell said her experience with the medical marijuana issue is that legislators — rather than shying away from legalization of marijuana for medical use — are committed to preserving its availability.
"They were very concerned about a medical marijuana law ... they really wanted to protect it, they wanted to make sure that patients that needed it would have access to medical marijuana," Russell said of fellow legislators.
Portland has a state-licensed nonprofit medical cannabis dispensary, run by Wellness Connection of Maine at 685 Congress St., just behind Local 188.
The debate over medical marijuana has matured to the point that advocates now discuss whether dispensaries, often considered more costly than caregivers, are the best sources of the medicine.
"There's a lot of folks from the caregiver community that are very upset that the dispensaries came in, they're largely from out of state," Russell said.
Charlie Wynott, organizer of Atlantic CannaFEST, said next Saturday's festival will seek to connect patients with caregivers, with a focus on affordability.
The goal, he said, is "advocacy and trying to hook the patients up with caregivers. We want to encourage our patients to connect with caregivers so they can get their medicine at a lower price than what the dispensaries are offering."
Wynott said Atlantic CannaFEST also seeks to raise awareness of the DHHS rules.
"Our purpose for this event is to rally against the new proposed rules that were proposed in the state," he said.
As comments on the proposed rules are reviewed, Republican Reps. Heather Sirocki of Scarborough and Sanderson, along with Democratic Rep. Mark Dion, another guest speaker at Atlantic CannaFEST, have called for a group of stakeholders to meet and develop rules that would follow the intent of Maine's medical marijuana law.
Libertarian U.S. Senate Candidate Andrew Ian Dodge, one of the other guest speakers at the festival, agreed with Russell's appraisal that opinions are shifting on marijuana.
"I think attitudes are changing about medical cannabis, hemp and legalizing cannabis in general," Dodge told The Daily Sun. "I truly believe that most people see the failure that is the war on drugs whether it is the cartel war zone that is much Mexico or the fact that all drugs are cheaper and easier to find than ever. The fact that someone like Sen. Rand Paul would support ending the foolish ban on the growing of hemp shows how far things have come. I look forward to working with Sen. Paul in defending the right of the state of Maine to allow the use of medical cannabis, making hemp legal and maybe even seeing a way clear to over-turn the prohibition on the legal sale of cannabis."
Russell said there's still a "philosophical debate" of whether to focus on medical marijuana or, as she endorses, outright legalization of all marijuana. Russell said robberies and addiction rate around prescription drugs offer another compelling case.
"People are getting highly addicted to those and they're also resorting to robberies. ... Prescription drugs are causing far more problems, what if we could rechannel some of the money that we're spending," she wondered.
