There's a reason that the noun "bug" is frequently used as a verb to describe something that is really annoying. Bugs can really bug us.
So how do we bug-proof our inviting decks and patios so we can take advantage of summer days and evenings unmolested by mosquitoes and yellowjackets?
The non-profit product testing organization Consumer Reports has evaluated the various methods for repelling insects and concluded that the go-to weapon — DEET — may be worse than the enemy threat itself.
"People have a misconception that because a product is on the market, it must be perfectly safe. But the truth is, there are risks associated with DEET," said Trish Calvo, the deputy content editor for food at Consumer Reports, which accepts no advertising and pays for all the products it rates.
It's not a notable problem if applications are limited and it is applied correctly. But long-term exposure or exposure by products containing high concentrations of DEET can lead to seizures, slurred speech, coma, and other side effects, she added.
Given that it is a registered pesticide, it may be better to take a lighter approach before bringing out the toxic artillery. Consumer's recommends using DEET only as a last resort and in as low a concentration as possible, like 15 percent and never more than 30 percent.
High concentrations of up to 98 percent touted in some products provide no more protection and greater risk of harm, Calvo said.
You should also avoid those clip-on devices that attach to your waistband and use a fan to circulate a repellent around you like a cloud.
"The active ingredient is metofluthrin, that causes nervous system risks," said Calvo.
"And our tests over the years have found they don't work very well over bugs anyway. Why take the risk when it's not as effective as you want it to be?"

The NGO: Jan Swasthya SahayogSupporting AID Chapters & Amount funded: AID Boston: $120,000
Phulwaris are community-run creches that were started ten years ago by Jan Swastha Sahyog (JSS). The principal goal of the Phulwari program is to combat malnutrition in children between the age group of 0.5-3 years. Since its inception, the Phulwari program has expanded significantly and JSS now runs 86 phulwaris across 38 villages with an enrollment of approximately 1200 children. By providing a reliable day-care service to the rural poor, the Phulwari program has not only helped alleviate child malnutrition, but has also solved other social problems like dropping out of older kids from school and staying back of women from work to take care of their infants and even improved the inter-caste social dynamics.

JSS was founded by a group of health professionals in 1998 and is committed to developing a low-cost and effective health program that provides both preventive and curative services in the tribal and rural areas of Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh state in central India. Nearly 200-250 leprosy cases are seen at the Ganiyari Clinic per year.

About 1500 villages inhabited by 300,000 people are directly impacted by JSS's work.
Since 2005, more than 3 lakh tribals have been displaced from Bijapur and Dantewada districts of Chhattisgarh. Facing starvation, harassment and brutality in Salwa Judum camps, many thousands have fled the state. In 2008, the Supreme Court ordered the state to implement the National Human Rights Commission's recommendation to facilitate safe return and rehabilitation, compensate for damages and restore democratic rights. Some families returned to Nendra in 2008 and several hundred more followed in 2009. AID supported ASDS to provide relief as well as efforts to rehabilitate displaced tribal families of Chhattisgarh by providing safe transport and support for returning to their homes, resuming their livelihoods and demanding government services. In the first six months 400 families have returned. Read brief report.
How they returned: See interview with Himanshu Kumar, Vanvasi Chetana Ashram

Many people are working longer and harder, thinking that this will solve the problem of an ever-increasing workload. But they are still falling behind, becoming chronically overwhelmed, and burning out. Work is where we spend much of our time.
That is why it is especially important for us to play during work. Without some recreation, our work suffers. Success at work doesn't depend on the amount of time you work. It depends upon the quality of your work. And the quality of your work is highly dependent on your well-being.
Taking the time to replenish yourself through play is one of the best things you can do for your career. When the project you're working on hits a serious glitch (as often happens), heading out to the basketball court with your colleagues to shoot some hoops and have a few laughs does a lot more than take your mind off the problem. If you are looking to use the power of play as team building, consider a scavenger hunt, sculpting ice, or building a chocolate bridge will also allow your relationship to the problem to shift and enable you to approach it from a new perspective."
Some of the reasons we play:
- To learn
- To create
- To feel challenged
- Competitively to win
- Cooperatively
- For the fun and joy of it
A major benefit of team building play is learning to tap into the brain's right hemisphere, which is often underutilized in the workplace. This is the cerebral real estate that hosts imagination, creativity and intuition. Long thought to be useful only to artists, writers and musicians, we now understand that right-brain thinking also plays a vital role in the business world.
So why is "play" such a wonderful learning tool?

Russell Crowe moves on with Billy Joel's ex-wife
Russell Crowe has started dating again following his split from Danielle Spencer.
The Les Miserables star was spotted getting cosy with Billy Joel's ex-wife, food critic Katie Lee.
The pair were caught cuddling at New York's Greenwich Hotel around 3am on Sunday morning in front the fireplace.
"They seemed to be in an intense flirtatious conversation," a source told the New York Post.
"They looked really into each other".
The pair were again spotted in the same place the following afternoon.
Katie was seen earlier in the week at Joe's Pub, where she watched Russell perform his live show, The Indoor Garden Party.
She has also been "seen around with Russell", who is currently in New York filming Winter's Tale.
your reaction?


text:
I am a people person. I enjoy conversation.
I'm hard-working. I'm very loyal to people that treat me right and are good to me.
I want nothing but to see this (Timberwolves) team do really well. I know publicly things are tough right now. People are questioning things. You've got to let things evolve. We've done a lot of good things here. I think we've positioned ourselves.
Pet peeves? Disloyal people. People who have an agenda. People who you can't count on. People who aren't straight up. I think you've got to be straight up, no matter what the consequences.
I'd like my friends to say I'm dependable and they can count on me. I'll be there no matter what.
If I had a time machine, I would like to go back to biblical times when Jesus walked the Earth. It would be a really cool time in civilization.
I used to watch "Gilligan's Island." Also, "The Brady Bunch." "The Courtship of Eddie's Father."
Ginger or Mary Ann? I would be more of a Mary Ann fan. Ginger was too much frills for me. Mary Ann was wholesome, somebody you could talk to. And attractive. I liked the substance over style.
I played football, baseball and basketball growing up. As I got into high school, I played baseball and then morphed into basketball full time. I was a forward mainly. I got a basketball scholarship. I'm still the third all-time leading scorer at Northwestern.
What superhero superpower would I want? Who's the character who can see into the future? That would be pretty cool.
My parents were the biggest influence in my life. My dad got me interested in sports. He always taught me to never be satisfied.
We're more by committee since the Kevin Garnett trade. I've been able to do some contracts. And I think (Wolves owner) Glen (Taylor) is able to see I can handle some things. Kevin (McHale) has been the head guy. I'm not one to vie for that if I'm not in that role. I'm comfortable in that role if I'm put into that role. I'm not going to chase after it.
I was there for the six championships with the Chicago Bulls. I was the assistant general manager to Jerry Krause. I started as a scout in 1987-88. That was the year we drafted (Scottie) Pippen and (Horace) Grant. I always was the assistant general manager, but I didn't have the title. I was the second in command. It was a good growing experience for me.
I just want to get this thing moving in a (positive) direction. I thought we did a lot of good things this summer. I know a lot of people are questioning the O.J. Mayo trade. I think Mike Miller is going to do a lot of good things for us. And Kevin Love is going to do good things for us. We've got draft picks. We've stockpiled draft picks. (The Wolves can have as many as four first-round picks in the 2009 draft.) I think Al Jefferson will be a linchpin for us.
Kevin (McHale) is going to do a terrific job in coaching. He inspires people. He knows we need a style of play and an identity. We're positioned well. We've just got to get the existing team playing better.
I come from an environment where a lot of guys who were in my group at Northwestern are trading at the Mercantile Exchange in Chicago. I had a business major at Northwestern. I ran with that crowd of people. That environment always appealed to me, but I'm glad I was able to get involved in the basketball part.
Worst thing I did as a kid? I took my mom's car when I was 15 years old. I had a permit. I didn't have a driver's license. My parents were waiting for me when I got back. That was a rough one to get through.
If my house was burning down and my family was safe, I'd want to get the pictures of my kids and my six (NBA) championship rings.
I used to process losses and get really frustrated. When I was in Chicago with the Bulls, Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner there, taught me the Serenity Prayer: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." You should do whatever you can to help the situation. But you have to trust things will work out.
The best movie I've ever seen was "Braveheart" with Mel Gibson. I thought it had great themes. He just wanted to be left alone to live his life and raise a family. He believes so much in freedom and being a free man that he's willing to give his life for that cause. It's so well done the way he inspires people.
Other movies I really like are "The Sting." "Rounders." Stuff like that.
I used to like the old Monty Python stuff. Mr. Bean. It's pretty fun.
Favorite actor? I think Jack Nicholson is outstanding. Denzel Washington is really, really talented. Will Smith is really talented. Paul Newman was somebody I liked to watch growing up.
Alicia Silverstone, I think, is very talented. And Reese Witherspoon. Meryl Streep is real good.
I used to read a lot of the Stephen King horror novels. I'm also fascinated by biographies and autobiographies. I read Hitler's biography to see how diabolical he became. I enjoy watching the evolution of people and how they make their stamp.
My daughter made me a CD with stuff I like — Dire Straits and Seals & Crofts. I come from that Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones time. I used to say I wanted to be Jimmy Page if I was a musician, because he was so talented as a singer and musician.
I used to play a lot of video games and pinball growing up. I was good at it. I would always set the record at the student center. I really don't play anymore. My kids play a little bit and try to pull me in. I have no interest in it. It doesn't appeal to me.
Simon Cowell probably would cover his ears if he heard me sing.
I'm Irish, so I'm a big meat-and-potatoes guy. I'd want my last meal to be a combination of steak, potatoes and some type of vegetable. I'd wash it down with an ice-cold Heineken. There's nothing better than winning and having an ice-cold Heineken after a win.
The best advice I ever got? The Serenity Prayer I got from Jerry Reinsdorf carried me through. You've got to differentiate between things you can control and cannot control. When I got that piece of advice, it really helped me.
I wouldn't act on bad advice.
If I could trade places for a day with anyone, I'd harken back to biblical times. I'd like to be Jesus Christ. That might sound weird, but just to go through that period of what he had to deal with. Some people say he wasn't the son of God, that he was just one of the big prophets. I think it would be really neat to experience what he went through during his short life on Earth. It'd be pretty cool to be Einstein, too. To be that bright and have such an impact on society would be cool.
I want my epitaph to say, "Here lies Jim Stack, who tried to do the best he could with every situation he was given."

Katie Holmes Steps Out With Suri, Mom Kathy One Day After Divorce Settlement
When the going gets rough, even A-listers like Katie Holmes appreciate a little comfort from mom.
Just one day after the Romantics actress settled her divorce from Tom Cruise, Holmes and six-year-old Suri hung out with Holmes' mother, Kathy, at NYC's Chelsea Piers on Tuesday afternoon.
PHOTOS: How Katie Holmes changed during her marriage
Following her decision to leave the Rock of Ages star, a source told Us Weekly Holmes leaned on her Ohio-based parents, Martin and Kathy, for guidance along the way. Martin Holmes, an attorney, helped the actress draft a proposal "in which she remains the primary caregiver and Suri lives with her at her apartment in New York," the insider shared.
Thanks in part to her parents' support, Holmes shocked Cruise by filing divorce papers on June 28 after nearly six years of marriage. On Monday, the estranged pair reached an agreement in which Holmes was granted primary custody of the couple's daughter.
PHOTOS: Tom and Katie, the way they were
A second insider tells Us the Kennedys star kept her intentions to break free from Cruise, 50, a secret by employing a disposable cell phone to stay in touch with friends, family, and her team of lawyers.
Reveals the insider, "She had a private phone the whole time to make her own private calls on."

If the test looks good, I will shoot about 6-10 rolls on a year long project that will basically be a richly produced set of remakes of old masters paintings done at Burbank Studios...

The Potters centre-back was given a retrospective three-match suspension on the basis of video evidence after catching Fulham's Philippe Senderos in the face. However, McManaman's knee-high tackle on Newcastle's Massadio Haidara went unpunished as the Football Association deemed one of the match officials saw the incident but did not take action at the time.
"It's fantastic to have Huthy back and available again," Kemp told The Sentinel. "Seeing him miss three games for a flailing arm - and then seeing nothing for what happened with the Wigan player - it adds to the injustice of it all."
Huth will return to face Everton at Goodison Park this weekend.

I've decided MAYBE, huge big ass maybe I want to do something with my life. But I'm thinking since I'm half chinese, I might aswell take that language. The local college is now offering beginning Mandarin Chinese and Filipino(tagalog?), so I'm thinking either or, it's probably because of ethnic groups that live on the peninsula. I don't want to take a white people language, want to take something I could actually use. I'm going to have to go to the community college sooner or later because I got a GED so I couldn't go straight to a university.
I did well on the placement tests and got into the higher english, whereas my brothers and everyone we know who went to this community college didn't do well enough on the placement tests to get into the higher one which is transferrable, but once they got to the higher one, most of them didn't do well. So I'm not sure if I should take the lower or higher one, mainly because I'm terrible at writing essays and the transferrable english is TONS of essays. I need to refresh my mind on some basic things.
Whatcha' thunk? I mean about taking Chinese.

You know, I've never had one. I think I need a bowler hat & a monacle to enjoy one.
They'll make it if you ask. A mesenger here got one in a color combo they didn't offer on their website.
Im Here.
Nice, thanks!!
the real question is: how are you going to keep it all white?
The blood of the innocent, easy.
I mean, at least that's how I clean mine. YMMV.

i emailed them a few months ago to ask about an all white bag, actually.Originally Posted by inkdwheels
they said they couldn't/wouldn't make a bag in this color now, but it's a color they're considering offering in the not-too-distant future.
I can't imagine how nasty that's going to look in a few months. My bag is starting to look dirty and it's dark green....
I believe they made four of them. I own one.
Box Dog Bikes on 14th around valencia in SF that has a few custom-looking bags for sale. There weren't any patches or logos on the bags that I could see, but I think the price tag might've said "top bag" or something like that? Not sure... anyway, there's one in the window and it is all white. White cordura, white vinyl, white trim, white fasteners, white strapping. It looked pretty friggin' cool. They a had a few other colours as well, but the all-white one was the stand-out. $100, looked pretty well-made.
You could call them at 415-431-9627 and see if they'd ship it. Or at least find out who made it and see if you could get a similar one made for you.
I just can't get behind a bag that can't be worn after labor day.

'America's Poet' Inspires His Old Hometown
Brooklyn Heights Group Teams With Local Artists to Set Walt Whitman's Iconic Verses to Modern Sights and Sounds
As a premise for a free outdoor music and poetry festival, Walt Whitman is easy to like. The seminal literary figure and onetime editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, once dubbed "America's poet" by Ezra Pound, will get an all-star tribute in his own former backyard on Thursday when dozens of artists, rockers and writers convene in the new Brooklyn Bridge Park for an evening-long Walt-a-palooza called "I Do Not Doubt I am Limitless: Walt Whitman's Brooklyn."
"It's going to be a Whitman freak-out jam by the waterfront," Zach Layton said. The composer, a curator at Brooklyn's nonprofit arts center Issue Project Room, was invited to organize a Whitman-themed program for the ongoing centennial celebration of the Brooklyn Heights Association. Both Mr. Layton and Suzanne Fiol, the late founder of Issue Project Room, had been huge Whitman fans, and IPR has cultivated a strong reputation as a magnet for forward-thinking artists.
"I loved his universalist spirit," Mr. Layton said of the poet and longtime Brooklynite. For Thursday's event, he found an aesthetic theme in the poems that connected with his own interests in sonic explorations and consciousness-expanding art.
"I was fascinated with the weird, psychedelic passages in his work," he said. "He talks a lot about orbs, and millions of orbs circling those orbs, which got me thinking about psychedelia."
So while a mobile, marathon reading of "Leaves of Grass" begins at 5 p.m. and occurs all over the park, Animal Collective sidekicks Prince Rama will mix Sanskrit chants and synthesizers, and Shannon Fields, from the band Stars Like Fleas, will lead a seven-piece ensemble in songs inspired by 19th-century shaped-note singing—that most democratic of American musical forms. Other performers, from avant-garde jazz bassist Henry Grimes to funk and folk acts, will lend music to Whitman's words.
As one participant noted, those words are rarely heard in song form. "The only challenge is, it's freaking hard to set the lines because there's no meter," said Rick Moody, author of "The Ice Storm" and the new "The Four Fingers of Death," who also performs as a member of the band the Wingdale Community Singers. "Why couldn't they do a Dickinson event? Those could all be sung to 'The Yellow Rose of Texas.'"
Joking aside, Mr. Moody, who will be joined by his bandmate Hannah Marcus, said Whitman made a deep impression on him as an adolescent. "He was the first 19th-century poet I loved deeply when I was a high-school student," he said. But in re-reading him to prepare for the event, Mr. Moody was struck by how tricky the poems would be to adapt. "Think about 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.' What are you going to do with that? That's eight pages long! You'd have to come up with a groove and try to chant some lines together."
The poet and songwriter Holly Anderson came by that groove easily. She plans to read "To a Locomotive in Winter" accompanied by the band February (featuring her husband, Jonathan Kane), a multi-guitar minimalist blues band adept at chugging, circular rhythms. "The cadence is kick-ass," she said. "And there's a lot of sexual innuendo. C'mon, it's a poem about a big locomotive!"
Ms. Anderson was looking for the right piece when she was struck by some lines:
Fierce-throated beauty!
Roll through my chant with all thy lawless music, thy swinging lamps at night…
"That really sums up the night," Ms. Anderson said. "I think in terms of being able to write about the body, and the desires of the body, and being very open about that, he definitely was an influence on me."
Ms. Marcus can't claim Whitman as an influence herself. "I was not someone who spent oodles of time reading 'Leaves of Grass,'" she said. But Thursday's performance became an occasion for discovery. "He did more before he was 19 than I've basically done in my life. I think that Walt Whitman himself would become very happy that I didn't appreciate him in the past and became a massive fan."
She was especially struck by a poem called "City of Orgies." "It's basically about cruising," she said, laughing. "He's writing to the city, and he's saying 'You'll be famous because I live in you, and you can pay me back by providing me with continuous lovers."
She was smitten. "There was always something about his self-celebration that was a little difficult for me to get through," Ms. Marcus said. "Then I truly had a change of heart."

I haven't ever developed Tri-X but have developed TMax 400 and I needed about 4 sequences of pre-wash with occasional agitation and dump to rid the film of almost all the dye but looking at the posts for some commonality I'd hazard a guess that D Allen's process of double fix and overall a similar amount of washing as my pre-soak and dumps would be even better.
Incidentally while I do not wish to dissuade you from continuing with trad B&W film, I'd suggest that if you are stuck with scanning for the foreseeable future you might want to consider XP2+. It is said to be easier to scan and yet retains excellent darkroom printing qualities.
Of course it requires the C41 process which has the added potential difficulty of retaining a higher temperature of 37.8 if you want to develop it yourself but does have the advantage of being able to be processed in any mini-lab, not many of which are geared up to trad B&W film development.

A commenter reported that work resumed from 10 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. on July 23-July 24. [Developer: No More Late Night Construction Planned For Bethesda Apartment]
Gansler Holds Transparency Forum Ahead Of Official Announcement — Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler on Wednesday held a forum for increasing transparency and accountability in state government in the back room of an Annapolis restaurant known to host legislators and lobbyists. Gansler, who will officially announce his gubernatorial bid in September, proposed public disclosure of state employee meetings during the regulatory process and an open data website. Two workers from gubernatorial hopeful Anthony Brown's campaign were shut out at the door. The workers apparently hoped to film the event with handheld cameras. [Washington Post]

Love on the Rocks: Men, Women, and Alcohol in Post-World War II America
Love on the Rocks: Men, Women, and Alcohol in Post-World War II America
After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, recreational drinking became increasingly accepted among white, suburban, middle-class men and women. But excessive or habitual drinking plagued many families. How did people view the "problem drinkers" in their midst? How did husbands and wives learn to cope within an "alcoholic marriage?" And how was drinking linked to broader social concerns during the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War era?
By the 1950s, Rotskoff explains, mental health experts, movie producers, and members of self-help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon helped bring about a shift in the public perception of alcoholism from "sin" to "sickness." Yet alcoholism was also viewed as a family problem that expressed gender-role failure for both women and men. On the silver screen (in movies such as "The Lost Weekend and "The Best Years of Our Lives) and on the printed page (in stories by writers such as John Cheever), in hospitals and at Twelve Step meetings, chronic drunkenness became one of the most pressing public health issues of the day.
