Usually hedgehogs, made famous by the Beatrix Potter Miss Tiggywinkle story, come out of their winter hibernation in March.
However as the climate changes, scientists want to know if the mammals are coming out earlier - or even later.
The People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) also want to know why populations are declining.
Recent research has show that populations of hedgehogs have dropped by at least a quarter in the past decade, with numbers declining over the long term from an estimated 30 million in the 1950s to 1.5 million in 1995.
Conservationists say the species has been hit by the loss of habitat in the countryside, such as hedgerows and grassland, more intensive agriculture, use of pesticides which reduce their food sources and more badgers.
In urban areas, tidier and more sterile gardens divided up with impassible fences and walls also pose a problem for the mammal.
The charities said research in the 1970s revealed a direct link between hibernation and climate, showing hedgehogs emerged up to three weeks earlier in the south west of England than Scotland, with inactivity relating to coldness and length of winter.
Typically the species hibernates between November and the end of March when food is scarce, in order to conserve energy.
Dr Pat Morris, who conducted the original research, said the new study could show if climate change is affecting hedgehogs.
"Age, sex and weather all appear to influence the timing of hedgehog hibernation.
"For example, young animals may remain fully active into December, no doubt seeking to develop sufficient fat reserves to ensure survival during subsequent hibernation.
"Also, adult females that have had late litters or may still be lactating will need to feed intensively before hibernating, causing them to be active for longer than adult males.
"However, mild weather can also delay hedgehogs entering into hibernation or elicit premature awakening, impacting on the creature's fat reserves and breeding times and consequently affecting the long-term survival of the species."

Play about domestic violence, hope and survival at Trinity
Play about domestic violence, hope and survival at Trinity
PROVIDENCE - "Behind Closed Doors" returns to Trinity Repertory Company on Monday, Oct. 7. The play's debut performance in 2012 received multiple awards for its innovative solutions to raise awareness about domestic violence and for contributing to its prevention. It debuted to a sold-out audience.
"Behind Closed Doors" is an original play written and performed by 15 survivors of domestic violence from SOAR, a task force of Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The performance is a true account of their experiences with domestic violence, hope and survival, and seeks to dispel the stigmas of this often misunderstood abuse. The script was crafted by Trinity Repertory Company teaching artists who mentored the SOAR members in cultivating their performances. The women speak both their own words and the words of their fellow survivors. All proceeds from Behind Closed Doors benefit SOAR/RICADV in raising awareness to end domestic violence.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m., in Trinity Rep's Dowling Theater, 201 Washington St.

Kk, going back to the main topic!
I'm gonna go against the grain and say that I actually prefer having people in my landscapes and urbanscapes. I find it adds a different depth to the image if it was just the landscape.
When I do have them in, I kind of make it so they're a part of the scene but not the subject. Usually I don't shoot faces, which I think distracts viewers as people focus on faces. Part of my tactic is in keeping the person small relative to the image so that they're like a portion of the landscape shot.
Here's one of mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dugrant/4896540485/
Yes, I was just discussing the use of people as scale cues with a pair of architects, and the way placement of people causes the viewer to imagine what they must feel like, in the scene, i.e. to personalize it.
Careful placement of people can do wonderful things. Of course, there are no firm rules.... effective landscape images may or may not have people in them.
I still stand by what I said earlier in the thread- I think it's a bit ridiculous the lengths to which some photographers will go, to try to obscure the evidence of humanity in the modern landscape. There are few out there courageous enough to incorporate all the power lines, the roads, the urban monotony... and all the other things we consider opposite the classical landscape.
"Only dead fish follow the stream"
[APUG Portfolio] [APUG Blog] [Website]
In Virginia it can be hard to keep evidence of humanity out of a photograph, however in the western states the can be easily accomplished.
Photos made by case-by-case decision: YES, unless the photos would fail to meet some important conceptual goal unless made with pre-determined guidelines. Photos made by predetermined rules: NO, unless the rules are somehow part of your concept.
In other words, do what you want to do in order to do what you want to do with the picture/series.
IMO, good art photography is seldom only about making an attractive picture. That is mainly what commercial photography's goal is. Making an attractive picture should not be the goal of photographic art; making the attractive picture should be a tangible technique that can be used or misused to achieve an intangible artistic goal. So, make your pictures such that the way they look serves your purpose; do not just blindly make them look "good" based on some predetermined set of guidelines. I fail to see why so damned many people need to set up rules for themselves in their shooting/printing. Just shoot, and make it good...or not. My two cents. I am sure YMWV.

Very interesting. I am approaching to finish my project on Italian Landscapes and cityscapes that I last worked on 3 years ago and now it's time to bring to completion.
This time I will definitively be looking for the human component in both landscapes and cityscapes. It really is a personal choice for anybody. It depends what you want to tell. My new approach is to show the relationship that man has had with the land for thousands of years. Even though the land can live without man, Man cannot survive without the fruits of the land, and that is for me a wonderful subject for study. But that is only a part of the project, that you can see better explained at this link.

All except one of my landscape shots do not have people in them. The one that does would not work nearly as well without that person in it.

Wesley Johnson
, 6'7, Junior, Small Forward, Syracuse
Jonathan Givony
After an outstanding freshman (06-07) season at Iowa Statewhich led us to write a lengthy scouting report that well now use as a reference
Wesley Johnson
appeared to stagnate in his sophomore (07-08) year, and promptly decided to transfer to Syracuse, where hell now be starting his junior season after sitting out all of last year (08-09).
Before we get into the progress the now 22-year old Johnson made between his first two seasons at Iowa State, it should be mentioned that hes already bounced around far more than normal for a player entering his junior year of college basketball. He initially committed to play at Louisiana Monroe in 2005, but instead opted to go the prep-school route after the coach that recruited him retired. He momentarily elected to head to Lon Morris College (Texas JUCO) but quickly thought better of that, instead picking the Patterson School in North Carolina for about two months, before again transferring to Eldon Academy in Michigan, a school that eventually shut down and left him out in the cold. He eventually committed to Iowa State largely due to the presence of assistant Jean Prioleau (now at TCU), but only stuck around for two years for unknown reasons, deciding to again leave, this time for Syracuse. While this constant nomadic drifting between cities and schools is surely not going to make or break his NBA prospects, its definitely something teams will look at when the time is right.
When we last looked at Johnson back in 2007, we marveled at his outstanding physical profile, particularly his terrific size, length and athleticism. Something went wrong after that excellent freshman season, though, as his minutes dropped somewhat, while his shooting percentages plummeted. It appears that Johnson fell in love with his 3-point shot excessively, as half of his attempts came from that range, while his rebounding and blocks dropped by about 50% and his turnovers increased. Its a pretty safe bet that Johnson was either moved or felt the need to move away from the combo forward position (where he thrived in a
Shawn Marion
-esqe role) and was reinvented or decided to reinvent himself as more of a swingman. He was also suffering from a nagging foot injury (reportedly a stress fracture) that surely played a role in his struggles, while there was apparently some sort of disagreement between him and the coaching staff regarding the extent that he should be playing on it, which may have led to him transferring.
With a fresh slate at Syracuse, there will be a number of areas to monitor in regards to his development as an NBA prospect. Johnson showed considerable shot-making ability in his last year at Iowa State, looking absolutely deadly coming off screens and making tough jumpers with a hand in his face. The problem is that he got way too caught up with this part of his game, to the point that his shot-selection looked downright awful at times. Johnson is clearly a much better shooter than the 33.3% he shot from beyond the arc in 2007-2008, the question is how much better? His willingness to avoid taking the terribly off-balance contested shots that he became known for as a Cyclone will play a huge role in this.
Secondly, for someone who is as athletic as Johnson is, you wouldnt always immediately guess that by the way he operates on the court. His rebounding numbers were paltry as a sophomore, and he doesnt get to the free throw line nearly as much as he should. The reason for that are his mediocre ball-handling skills, which make it extremely difficult for him to get to the rim in half-court situations, particularly using his left hand. His poor decision making shows up here as well, often in the form of ill-advised drives and turnovers.
Defensively, Johnson has the size, length and athleticism to guard multiple positions at both the college and NBA level, but you didnt always see him applying himself as much as he should. He seems to lack focus at times, and allows himself to get pushed around a bit too easily, as he appears to lack both bulk and some toughness to help get the job done. Regardless, Johnson has great potential in this area due to his excellent physical tools, and could develop into a very good defender in time with some good coaching, a better mentality, and more experience. We might have to wait a few years to get a better read on this, though, since hell be stuck playing in Syracuses ultra-conservative 2-3 zone defense for the time being.
Johnson is getting quite a bit of attention in the lead-up to the college basketball season, as Syracuses coaching staff has been pumping him up in a major way to the national media. With
Jonny Flynn
Paul Harris
Eric Devendorf
all decided to leave the team early for the professional ranks, the Orange will ne
ed Johnson
to have a big year if theyre to hold their own in the tough Big East.
Samardo Samuels
, 68, Sophomore, Power Forward, Louisville
Joseph Treutlein
A prized top five recruit out of high school,
Samardo Samuels
had a pretty good freshman season in terms of how he contributed for Louisville, but his performance was more of a mixed bag from an NBA perspective. At 68, Samuels is undersized for a power forward, but the bigger problems are that his skill set is much more suited to play center and hes a below average athlete for either position. While very coordinated and mobile, and also possessing decent quickness, Samuels really lacks vertical explosiveness, especially when he doesnt have a running start or time to gather himself.
In terms of skills, Samuels is an extremely smart and highly efficient back-to-the-basket player, using his low center of gravity and great lower body strength to consistently establish deep post position, either pinning his man under the basket or getting inside of him and blocking him out. Once he gets the ball, Samuels shows good awareness and always goes for the highest percentage shot, usually a right-handed layup, dunk, or short-range right-handed hook shot. His footwork in the post is excellent, mixing in a rangy dropstep in addition to his mostly simple, compact repertoire. While Samuels shows a propensity for finishing through contact, problems arise when hes matched with taller players and/or ones who can match him in strength, where his limitations become very evident. With his lack of size and inability to explode up from awkward positions, Samuels has problems finishing against taller opponents, and making matters worse, his touch outside of five feet is not good at all, as hes prone to missing hook shots by feet rather than inches.
Moving further away from the basket, while Samuels shows flashes of ball-handling ability and mobility with the ball, his face-up game is troublesome, as he doesnt show near the same awareness or control as he does in his post-up game. Samuels is frequently out of control on his forays to the basket, leading to many turnovers, offensive fouls, and low percentage shot attempts. His jump shot, while showing the foundation of good shooting form, is also a sore spot, as he is very sloppy with his release, never holding his follow through and not showing much consistency with his motion. This translates somewhat to the free throw line, where he shot a solid yet still improvable 67%.
In addition to his post game, Samuels does bring another worthwhile asset to the table on the offensive end, as he has an absolutely relentless motor on this side of the court, something that shows most noticeably in his offensive rebounding. Samuels does a good job reading balls off the rim and takes advantage of his strength and mobility by frequently out-maneuvering and out-pursuing the opposition to pull down boards in a crowd.
Defensively, its a different story in regards to Samuels athleticism, as his lack of vertical explosiveness doesnt hurt him much, while his mobility and solid lateral quickness help him greatly. In the post, Samuels holds good position using his strength and shows good reflexes in man-to-man defense, moving well laterally and playing aggressive while keeping his hands up to contest shots. As the center in Louisvilles zone, he doesnt get much work on the perimeter, rarely being tested in isolations or pick-and-rolls, but his lateral quickness carries over to some of the short face-up drives he gets to contest.
Unfortunately, its not all good news for Samuels on the defensive end, as contrary to his offensive rebounding prowess, Samuels is a very poor defensive rebounder, averaging just 3.6 per-40 minutes pace adjusted. In addition to that, Samuels is also very foul prone, averaging 4.6 fouls per-40 minutes pace adjusted, something which holds down his minutes at times. In projecting him to the next level, there are some concerns about his size and if players will be able to shoot over him, but he uses his strength in combination with outstretched hands to counter this, so he should be able to compensate for it somewhat.
Looking forward, Samuels clearly has a lot of work to do before he starts thinking about heading to the NBA, and while there are many red flags now, there is certainly hope in the future. If Samuels can develop his perimeter jumper and carry over the motor he shows on the offensive glass to the defensive glass, he will have a few things teams could find attractive, even if his post game doesnt translate. The biggest problem for Samuels is that the things his college team needs him to do are very different than what he needs to develop to improve his NBA prospects, so finding a balance will be key.
Yancy Gates
, 6'9, Sophomore, Power Forward, Cincinnati
Scott Nadler
There is much to be optimistic about for the Cincinnati Bearcats this season. They landed one of the most talented (and controversial) recruits in the nation in
Lance Stephenson
, have a healthy Cashmere Wright returning from injury, and are coming off a very solid season in arguably the toughest conference in the country. With all of that said, much of the preseason hype surrounding this team revolves around the potential of sophomore power forward,
Yancy Gates
; and rightfully so.
Gates earned All-Rookie team honors in the Big East last season after averaging 10.6 points and 6.1 rebounds in 23 minutes of play. At 69, with a chiseled frame, Gates is a physical specimen and has a great presence on the court. Hes an imposing figure and showed flashes of dominance in the paint. Hes also athletic and moves very well, showing good footwork around the basket and a willingness to run the floor all of the ingredients anyone could ask for in a big man.
On the other hand, Gates has a tendency to blend in on occasion, failing to assert himself or holding back a bit and deferring to his teammates, which is common of most freshmen. The way he began his games would be telling to how his performance would end up with good starts resulting in big numbers and poor starts resulting in average outings. Maintaining a certain level of consistency will be important for Gates this season.
It will also be crucial for Gates to continue to build on his prowess as a rebounder. Gates averaged 10.6 rebounds per-40 pace adjusted last season and even more impressive was his offensive rebounding production, where he averaged 4.9 per-40 minutes pace adjusted
ranking him 9th in our database
. He has big, soft hands, is not afraid to throw his weight around and rebounds well in traffic. With all of these factors going for him, Gates could be even better if he plays with reckless abandon and more aggressiveness.
Similarly, Gates ability to score, especially in the painted area, will depend on his forcefulness. He is a very difficult player to stop at the college level considering his strength advantage, averaging 18.4 point per-40 minutes pace adjusted. In addition, he possesses solid fundamentals and good habits around the basket. He rarely brings the ball below his chest, displays great patience, utilizes his pivot foot to establish better position, and has no wasted motion. Consequently, he scores around the basket at an outstanding 66.2% clip and is
ranked 23rd in our database in field goals per-40 minutes pace adjusted with 7.9
In the post, however, he still has room to grow. Even though he does a good job at getting position, he seems unsure on occasion of what he should do. Developing a go-to move, something he currently doesnt have, would eliminate that problem. Furthermore, Gates tends to settle for turnarounds too often and fades away from the defense, even against smaller players, which is why he only shoots 2.6 free throws a game. Improving his left hand would also benefit him greatly and enable him to power up on either block.
Away from the basket, Gates showed glimpses of an outside touch, shooting with as much as 18 foot range. He has a good shooting stroke with average release speed and a high release point. His success rate is significantly increased when he holds his follow through, as opposed to quickly flicking his wrist and bringing it back, which suggests a rushed approach and a lack of confidence. If he can consistently knock down outside shots, something he showed great flashes of in high school, he will be that much tougher to defend.
Speaking of defense, Gates struggled as a post defender. He allows his man to catch the ball too easily due to his tendency to play behind his matchup as opposed to 3 quartering the post to deny the entry. Hes undisciplined at this stage, jumping and leaning on ball fakes which put him off balance. He also loses focus sometimes leaving him a step behind and on second late on help situations. He did a better job on the perimeter, showing good lateral speed for his size and the commitment to challenge all shots with his long wingspan.
Gates has all the tools to be a solid player, now it is up to him to decide how good he wants to be. There have been some question marks in the past about some red flags that may hold him back. If he can put it all together this season, the Bearcats should be a factor in the Big East and NCAA tournament bound.

The bruising power forward went from unheralded recruit to an All-American in his meteoric rise during his sophomore season and is the most productive returning player in college basketball this year. His game has been called many things, ranging from unorthodox to unusual, but no one can deny the hustle and tenacity with which he plays. This biggest knocks against Harangody have always been his lack of size and athleticism to play at the next level; his game simply doesnt appear to translate to the NBA on first glance. While the stocky power forward will never be confused with an elite physical specimen, we may be seeing a different player once the season gets underway in November.
As we reported at the end of May, Harangody dropped a good amount of weight and was in the best shape he has ever been since bursting onto the scene. This was a result of the extra work he put in while preparing for the possibility of keeping his name in the NBA Draft. It will be interesting to see if he has managed to improve his level of fitness in the months since we were last able to observe him in action.
Harangodys game has stayed consistent throughout his college career, spending close to half of his time getting touches in the post. Despite shooting a respectable 46 percent from the floor, the senior is only an average finisher when operating on the block, connecting on just 37 percent of his shots in these situations. Since he doesnt elevate well at all, Harangody has been forced to develop other facets of his post game in order to be successful. He does an excellent job of using his body to establish position and create space, also showing a soft touch around the rim. The only real consistent move his arsenal features is an unorthodox turnaround jumper that he gets to fall with some regularity.
It is interesting to note that Harangody is an excellent finisher on other shot types in the lane, mainly moving without the basketball and offensive rebounds. This is one of the major reasons NBA scouts are concerned about his game at the professional level, given that he already struggles a fair amount against collegiate post defenders, many of whom are far below the caliber of athlete he will see in the League. Still, its hard not to like his ability to finish with contact and get to the line at a very high rate.
What should be most interesting to observe this season is the continued development of the forwards ability to shoot from the perimeter. Last season Harangody shot a respectable 37 percent on just over one shot attempt per game from beyond the arc. His form is tremendously awkward and he gets little to no lift off the ground when he releases, but the end results are hard to argue with. When DraftExpress dropped in on one of his pre-draft workouts in May, Harangody was repeatedly connecting on shots from beyond the NBA three-point line, suggesting that he has put in more effort to extending his range. Being able to step out and shoot even just a couple of times per game this season could see the senior become even more of a prolific scorer incredibly enough.
If Harangody comes in in better shape that will most certainly help him at both ends of the floor. He has shown the ability to occasionally attack the basket off the dribble against slower defenders, though he will never be a huge threat in this sense. Defensively, his limited lateral quickness hurts him when he is forced away from the paint, especially on pick and roll situations. Of course, his lack of size hurts against taller opponents who can simply shoot over the top of him.
In the long run, Harangody will never be a prospect who will be talked about as a lottery prospect because of his physical limitations and lack of size. With that said, he is one of the most productive players at the college level in the last few seasons and he is doing it in one of the best conferences that is hard to overlook. Harangody is a guy who at the end of the day just finds a way to get it done, even if it isnt always pretty. Many of the same things that were said about
Tyler Hansbrough
last year are now being said about Harangody, so history tells us that we shouldnt be too quick to rule players like him out.
Jerome Dyson
, 6'4, Senior, Shooting Guard/Small Forward, Connecticut
Kyle Nelson
Jerome Dyson
has had his share of trials and tribulations since arriving at the University of Connecticut. The 64 shooting guard was suspended indefinitely during his sophomore year and tore his lateral meniscus last season. Before his injury, Dyson was playing solid basketball and was oftentimes a top option on an NCAA-contending team that graduated two players to the NBA. That said, however, he displayed many limitations, particularly on the offensive end of the floor. With just one season left in Storrs, Dyson must expand his game significantly while helping Connecticut win games if he wants a shot at getting drafted.
Standing somewhere between 63 and 64, Dyson does not have the greatest size or strength for the shooting guard position at the next level, though he does have above-average length. Dyson does not stand out physically given his position and style of play, which is an obstacle that he will have to overcome at the next level. He is a solid athlete, however, with excellent quickness in the open floor and decent explosiveness around the basket.
On the offensive end, Dyson has improved since his freshman season, but is still primarily a slash-and-shoot player and quite limited in terms of what he can offer a team at the next level. He has a quick first step that allows him to beat his man and attack the basket at this level. What slows him down, however, is his mediocre ball handling ability, particularly with his left hand. Improving in this area would make him a far more effective slasher and would help him to better utilize his athleticism. Once at the rim, he shows solid body control and explosiveness, which allow him to be a decent finisher. As evidenced by his sub-par 43% two-point field-goal percentage, he is not a particularly efficient scorer and he does not finish well with contact or when guarded.
While transition and isolation opportunities combine to represent a good chunk of his overall possessions, a decent amount of his possessions come from spot-up jump shots. He is not a great shooter at this point in time, however, converting on just under 35% of his 3-pointers on a single make per game, while showing fundamentals that could use serious work. Despite his athleticism, Dyson gets very little lift on his jumper, which, combined with his slow release and a form that finds him often taking shots with his elbows askew, make his shot easy to contest at this level and contribute to his inefficient shooting percentages. For Dyson to develop into an effective shooter while playing against bigger and more athletic wing players at the next level, he must work on his form to develop a more efficient shooting stroke. Such improvement is easier said than done, however, and if Dyson cannot prove to scouts that he can hit spot-up jump shots at an acceptable clip, then he will have a hard time convincing anybody that he is an NBA player.
He does not make the best decisions, either, driving both relentlessly and recklessly to the basket while not looking to defer to his teammates nearly enough. Though Dyson averaged 3.2 assists per game and 4.1 assists per 40 minutes pace adjusted, he is not a point guard and is clearly focused on creating scoring opportunities for himself inside and outside of the flow of Connecticuts offense, rather than looking to set up his teammates.
On the defensive end, Dyson is considered to be one of the premier perimeter players in the Big East. Watching him play, however, reveals that while he certainly is a good college perimeter defender, he has a lot of work to do before he can be considered a stopper at the next level. Dysons quick hands and high-energy style allow him to harass his man on the perimeter, where he is his most effective. He has fairly good lateral quickness, which allows him to be a versatile defender at the collegiate level, guarding all three perimeter positions at times. This may not be the case at the next level, as his size will likely render him a shooting guard only. While he bites for too many pump fakes and sometimes loses focus, there is no doubt that when Dyson is dedicated to playing strong man-to-man defense, he can be very effective. Improving his overall fundamentals, such as maintaining his stance and not running under screens, as well as his consistency is important, as well.
Dysons lack of ideal height and strength, as well as his raw offensive game, are significant obstacles considering his potential at the next level. Next season is his last chance to show scouts that he can be a versatile perimeter threat in college. This wont be easy and Dyson is stepping into a Connecticut rotation with many NBA prospects, but short on veteran leadership. Coming off of a knee injury surely does not help, either. Dyson must continue to assert himself on both ends of the floor and incorporate new moves into his offensive repertoire. If he continues to improve while helping Connecticut win games, then scouts will consider him to be a legitimate NBA prospect.

Are voters, consumers? A qualitative exploration of the voter-consumer analogy in political marketing
Peng, Norman and Hackley, Chris (2009) Are voters, consumers? A qualitative exploration of the voter-consumer analogy in political marketing. Qualitative Market Research, 12 (2). pp. 171-186. ISSN 1352-2752

Scholars from a wide range of backgrounds have compared political and commercial marketing and advertising. Some have argued that the differences between these two spheres are relatively slight, others that they are fundamental. In this paper we attempt to problematize, deepen and add nuance to the voting-consumption analogy drawing on a range of literature in the political marketing and brand marketing fields. In order to add an empirical perspective to the discussion we draw on tentative findings from a small-scale exploratory case study of voting attitudes. The responses of eight focus groups of British voters to two well-known Labour Party election broadcasts were interpreted using theoretical concepts from brand marketing and also from cultural studies of political marketing. In conclusion, we argue that there may be aspects of audience response to political advertising that are incompatible with brand marketing theory. 'Voters' and 'consumers' do seem to share some resemblance in their affective, cognitive and behavioural responses to advertising, which is perhaps unsurprising, since political parties and commercial entities do sometimes employ similar marketing techniques. However, in this study these voters displayed certain responses that differentiated them strongly from consumers. This implies that the analogy between commercial and political marketing has its limitations. We conclude by suggesting that the voter-consumer analogy is highly plausible when viewed on a macro-level but becomes weaker as research focuses in on a micro-level analysis of the individual within the voting context.

Reviews for Strawberry Pie
Sort By :
"Yes. I tried the recipe my husband and I loved it. I have been searching for a good strawberry pie recipe that didn't taste like jello with strawberries. The only change I made was to add 3 tbs. of Karo clear syrup to the cornstarch and sugar before boiling. This does give the pie a smoother texture."
"I lost the fresh strawberry pie recipe I received from mother-in-law and searched TOH hoping I could find a recipe close to it. This is the exact recipe. So good!"
"I made this recipe, but substituted Margarita Jello, because that is what I had on hand. It was delicious. This will be my "go-to" fresh strawberry pie recipe from now on. There are only 2 people in our household, so we can't eat an entire pie. I cut into this pie and then refrigerated the rest. With this filling, the bottom did not get soggy, a problem I've had with other strawberry pie recipes."
"Good strawberry pie. Reminds me of my moms"
"has anybody tried this recipe?"

Coping With Loss
RIP wealth and security
High-net-worth individuals are coveted by private banks and wealth managers when they are on the rise. They are showered with advice on this trust fund here and that equity portfolio there—all with the intention of making their large pot of gold even larger. But what about when the reverse happens? When the job is lost, the company collapses or the large investment turns bad?
How should high-net-worth people react when their worst fears are realized, and they become low-net-worth, both in a practical sense—re-arranging their investment portfolios to meet their new circumstances—and emotionally, with the change in both their fortunes and status?
The recession has not been sparing in the way it has blasted the wealth of nations. Across the developing world, it has been a tale of excessive public debt, bank bailouts and stagnant growth.
For every one nation in distress, however, there are many thousands, if not millions, of individuals facing up to the trauma of their own debt and, in some cases, the very real threat of ruin.
According to Morgan Stanley, MS 0.06 % global wealth, which had peaked at $125 trillion in mid-2007, had dropped 16%, or $20 trillion, by 2010. Indeed, families in the U.S. saw household wealth dive 18% in 2008 alone.
High-net-worth individuals have been hit particularly hard. According to Morgan Stanley, this group lost an estimated $8.9 trillion over the three year period to 2010, with some losing as much as 20% to 40% of their total wealth.
Some of the biggest names in business have been affected. The legendary investor and 'Sage of Omaha', Warren Buffett, lost an estimated $25 billion in 2008, while John McAfee, of software anti-virus fame, saw his wealth crash from a reported $100 million, at its peak, to under $10 million after a series of unwise real-estate investments. In Europe, investment tycoon Robert Tchenguiz lost a reported £1 billion after the collapse of Icelandic bank Kaupthing.
Greg Davies, head of behavioral finance at Barclays Wealth, says the first thing people who have recently lost wealth should do is get their thinking right.
"They must adjust to the loss in an emotional and financial sense," he says. "We all seem to place a psychologically greater weight on losing something to gaining something and so it is obvious that losing wealth can make you feel miserable and stressed. You must try to adapt your reference point, which previously was a certain level of spend or lifestyle, to meet your new reality. It is irrational to keep hankering after what you once had." That's not an easy adjustment, though, as your decision-making process becomes skewed by your emotional state—even a gain like a new, lower paid job—feels like a loss because, again, you are comparing it with the bumper salary you earned in the past.
"People do one of two things: The first is to opt out of investing all together because you feel despondent or apathetic," Mr. Davies says. "The second approach is to become more risk-seeking with the hope of quickly regaining that lost wealth. It's like having a bad night at the casino and you keep betting just to get back to the amount of money you had when you started."
The right approach is to embrace your new reality and to start making some rational decisions. Those who find themselves considerably less well-off need to address two fundamental issues. One, match your spending levels to your new reduced cashflow and, two, reduce your borrowings or liabilities, which in previous times looked manageable but now could seriously hamper any prospect of long-term recovery. Mr. McAfee sets a good example: he sold off properties, planes and landing strips to even his losses. His emotional reaction was also commendable. He talked at the time of feeling a "sense of freedom", after his gargantuan reversal, and concluded that: "It really isn't a joy to own things."
Derek Moore, manager of ultra-high-net-worth clients at Coutts, says individuals should use the remaining assets in their investment portfolio to pay off their debts. "Time is ticking. You could be out of work for a year or so," he says. "You have to eradicate debt to preserve the spending power in your portfolio, reduce risk and to reinvest."
Before making any new investment moves, however, you should fully evaluate the circumstances which led to your wealth demise. This may have been down to pure bad luck, a lost job, or an investment that went wrong.
Diversify to Multiply
But it may have been the result of a poorly balanced and under-diversified portfolio—such as having the bulk of your shareholdings in your now bankrupt employer. This, for instance, was the case for many former employers of the now defunct Bear Stearns, or the failed energy giant Enron. "The right portfolio solution to help you go forward is the same solution you should have had in the past," Mr. Davies says. "That is diversified and with plenty of insurance cover such as critical illness."
There is still scope though, Mr. Moore suggests, for prioritizing areas such as child trust funds, health insurance for sick relatives and school fees.
Mr. Davies stresses one last point for those worried about hard times. "Remember that even without financial capital you still have the human capital of your education and experience to help you bounce back," he says.
For individual and nation alike that is something to strengthen the spirit in the months ahead.

Gun Ownership in Iowa
A woman was called in front of a Iowa grand jury for manslaughter after she shot a mugger 6 times in the back as he was running away with her purse.
He grabbed the purse and ran, she had her hand on the gun in it, and was left with the revolver in her hand.
When asked by the grand jury why she shot the man 6 times in the back as he was running away, she replied under oath:
"Because when I pulled the trigger the 7th time it only went click"
Acquitted of all charges.

NorCal teams make big statements
When Concord (Calif.) De La Salle pounded in score after score in the first half of the Open Division CIF bowl Saturday night - five in all - it did more than just wrap up its game with Anaheim (Calif.) Servite early.
It started on Friday night, when unranked, unheralded and seemingly unappreciated Palo Alto (Calif.) High shut down the high-powered offense of No. 13 Corona (Calif.) Centennial to produce a 15-13 victory in the Division I game.
It was thought to be as big an upset as the five-year bowl series had produced. Saturday, however, showed it may not have been an upset at all.
No. 47 Folsom (Calif.) High dominated No. 28 Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serra, 48-20, in the afternoon.
Then No. 12 De La Salle did its damage, racing out to a 35-0 halftime lead on the way to a 48-8 destruction of No. 9 Servite.
All three Southern California schools went into the bowl games undefeated - a combined 42-0 on the season. And all had reasons to believe it would continue.
Centennial entered the game averaging more than 54 points per game.
Serra had a 31-game winning streak.
Servite had just come off a convincing 41-27 victory over what was considered the state's top team, Mission Viejo (Calif.) High.
But none of that mattered this weekend as the North rolled in convincing fashion.
"This weekend was more than a statement for NorCal football," RivalsHigh Senior Analyst Dallas Jackson said. "It was a perception changer.
"The teams in Northern California have always had to fight to gain respect from its Southern neighbors let alone nationally. This weekend, and these three convincing wins, put the country on notice of how good the North has gotten."
Bragging rights? There's no doubt which part of the state has them now, especially when you consider this: It may not even had its best team in the lineup.
Sacramento (Calif.) Grant, which pounded Folsom in the opening game of the season, perhaps only fell short in the rematch due to key injuries.
With that, a look at the games:
Open Division: No. 12 De La Salle 48, No. 9 Servite 8
Lucas Dunne ran for 242 yards and four scores - giving him a school-record 40 on the season - and De La Salle ran all over Servite.
Servite, which saw its 25-game winning streak come to an end, avoided a shutout with a fourth-quarter touchdown run by Cody Pittman.
"We prepared for them all year," De La Salle head coach Bob Ladouceur told television reporters after the game. "Servite is an outstanding football team. We were lucky to catch them on a night like tonight I think."
How big a rout was this? Consider these first-half stats, according to the Orange County Register:
De La Salle led in first downs (14-0) and total yards (246-22).
The only category Servite was leading? Three-and-outs. It had one on all seven of its possessions.
If that wasn't enough, De La Salle opened its first possession of the second half with a 67-yard TD run by Joe Te'o.
"We relied on our strengths," Ladouceur said. "Our offensive line and our running."
Division II: No. 47 Folsom 48, No. 28 Junipero Serra 20
It was rainy. It was muddy. But that didn't stop a record-setting performance - a performance that reportedly ended with players sliding across the slippery field in celebration.
Quarterback Dano Graves passed for three touchdowns and rushed for three more - setting a state championship record for most touchdowns in one game - to give No. 47 Folsom (Calif.) High a victory over No. 28 Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serra.
Graves finished with 214 yards in the air and 83 yards rushing as the Bulldogs (14-1) ended Serra's 31-game winning streak.
Graves finished his senior season with 62 touchdown passes, one less than the state record of 63 set in 1999 by Richard De La Cruz of Los Angeles (Calif.) Cathedral.
Connor Preston threw for two touchdowns and 237 yards for the Cavaliers (14-1). George Farmer caught four passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Sahquielle Richard ran for 131 yards and another touchdown.
Folsom clung to a 21-20 at the half before scoring three touchdowns in less than 30 seconds in the fourth quarter to run away with the win.
Division I: Palo Alto 15, No. 13 Centennial 13 (Friday)
Palo Alto took advantage of a multitude of miscues by Corona (Calif.) Centennial to triumph.
Centennial kicker Ezequiel Rivera had a chance to win the game on a 42-yard field goal with 35 seconds remaining, but the kick was wobbly and short.

Russia buying up Gold
Feb. 10, 2013 http://www.bloomberg...buys-world.html
When Vladimir Putin says the U.S. is endangering the global economy by abusing its dollar monopoly, he's not just talking. He's betting on it.
Not only has Putin made Russia the world's largest oil producer, he's also made it the biggest gold buyer. His central bank has added 570 metric tons of the metal in the past decade, a quarter more than runner-up China, according to IMF data compiled by Bloomberg. The added gold is also almost triple the weight of the Statue of Liberty.

Comments about Contain Rainwater Modular Slim Line Harvesting Wall:
I wanted patio doors that opened up into a small courtyard but there was a gutter coming down where i had to have a rain barrel which meant I could only open one door. Becuase of its slim design I can now open both doors. Unfortunately it has a "good" side and a backside and becuase I had it on the left of the couryard i had to install it using the backside and not the pretty stone side with holes for plants as illustrated.

Volvo Cars CEO Jacoby Aims to Move Brand 'Upscale'
Volvo Cars Chief Executive Officer Stefan Jacoby said he will reposition the Swedish carmaker as an "upscale" brand as he aims to take on luxury leader Bayerische Motoren Werke AG.
"I'm very committed to bring Volvo to where it belongs, in the top league of the premium manufacturers," Jacoby told journalists today at Volvo's Gothenburg headquarters. "We cannot say, 'just do what BMW is doing.' We need to find our Swedish-based definition of what Volvo should deliver."
Jacoby, 52, started at Volvo on Aug. 16, two weeks after Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. bought the company from Ford Motor Co. for about $1.5 billion. Jacoby, who previously led Volkswagen AG's U.S. operations, succeeded Stephen Odell, 55, who stayed with Ford to head its European unit.
Volvo's efforts will put it up against better financed luxury competitors' own efforts to challenge BMW. Volkswagen's Audi brand aims to dethrone BMW as the biggest luxury-car maker by volume, by 2015. Daimler AG last month raised its full-year profit forecast after sales at the Mercedes-Benz brand surged in China, the world's largest car market.
"Volvo kind of straddles that middle ground at the moment between conventional Fords and probably BMW," said Ian Fletcher, an analyst at IHS Automotive in London. "They're trying to shift more towards the BMW and Mercedes side of things. That will be the big issue -- the difficulty taking it to those German rivals."
Saab's Efforts
Swedish competitor Saab Automobile, which Dutch supercar maker Spyker Cars NV bought from General Motors Co. in February, is also trying to reposition itself as more of a premium brand. The carmaker, which rolled out the updated 9-5 model this summer, has declared it aims to directly take on Audi and BMW.
Jacoby's first priority will be an "intensive discussion" with his management team to sharpen the brand and more clearly define what the carmaker stands for, the CEO said. The strategy must take into account Volvo's plans for growing significantly in China, where he plans to build a plant, Jacoby added.
The carmaker will also pursue two separate loans from the European Investment Bank and KBC Bank, he said. Talks on these loans had been put on hold pending Geely's takeover.
Jacoby started with Volkswagen in 1985 and remained there over the years, with the exception of working at Mitsubishi Motors Corp.'s European unit between 2001 and 2004. He became VW's top U.S. executive in September 2007.
U.S. Efforts
In the U.S., Jacoby cut costs, designed the first models for the North American market, added an assembly plant in Tennessee and moved the headquarters to Virginia from Michigan.
Volvo sold 334,808 cars worldwide last year, a decline of 11 percent from 2008 and 27 percent from a peak of about 460,000 in 2007, according to the company. The automaker sold 219,461 vehicles through July this year, a 16 percent increase from a year earlier, the company said today.
In China, Volvo's fourth-biggest market, seven-month deliveries surged 75 percent to 17,899 cars, helped by last year's introduction of the S80L, a longer version of the S80, that's sold only in that country, the world's largest automobile market.
