design addresses low carbon issues
with eco-friendly features
A wind turbine fitted to the roof
of an apartment block in Bow is one
of the eco-friendly features which
make the building a first in London
and, possibly throughout the UK. Architects
Bda ZEDfactory Ltd and house builders
Yorklake Homes have to be congratulated
for their achievement which hopefully
paves the way for other similar energy-saving
developments in the metropolis and
The turbine is on top of four purpose-built
flats at 56 Tomlins Grove, E3, and
compliments other eco-friendly features
such as solar panels to convert the
sun's rays into electricity, a hot
water boiler powered by wood pellets,
produced from wood waste and riple-glazed
and krypton-filled windows to provide
thermal and noise insulation. Also
the exterior walls are exceptionally
well insulated with a 300mm cavity
filled with rock wool, the ceilings
and floors are concrete slab construction
which acts like super large storage
heaters, storing heat in winter and
coolness in summer and roof-mounted
wind cowls provide innovative high
levels of ventilation and heat reclamation
stylish apartments are at the leading
of carbon emission-saving building
technology and are a fine example
for other architects and builders
to follow. Each flat has its own terrace
as well as a conservatory which acts
like a miniature power station, meeting
around half of the projected annual
electricity demand.
The design of these homes enables
the residents to use the biggest purchase
of their lives to contribute actively
towards a cleaner, safer future.
Designed by Renewable Devices and
supplied by Sotiish & Southern
Energy, the Swift near-silent wind
turbine on the roof is one of the
first domestically available of its
type that generates power at mains
voltage. When combined with the solar
panels it enables the development
to generate as much electricity as
it consumes.
James Kafton, Yorklake Homes'
manging director, says: "We
are extremely proud of this cutting-edge
development, which is the first of
its kind in Central London. It really
is quite an achievement to develop
a site in Central London that is able
to satisfy its own energy needs, largely
from solar and wind power, which do
not damage our environment, without
compromising the design and specification
expected of high-end apartments. This
puts Yorklake Homes at the forefront
of environmentally-sustainable property
"Although the build cost was
higher, considerable interest was
shown in the four apartments and we
have achieved prices above comparable,
conventionally built properties in
the area. The interest shown in 56
Tomlins Grove confirms that demand
is growing for environmentally-sustainable
Dunster, of architects BDa ZEDfactory,
says: "The development meets
all the requirements of a 21st century
urban lifestyle, yet generates all
its own energy from non fossil fuels
from within its site boundaries. This
development really is a vision of
the future. The damage being done
to our environment could be significantly
reduced if more property developers
were prepared to build in this way.
"With so many new developments
required in the coming years, we would
strongly encourage the Deputy Prime
Minister to require a significant
proportion of new homes to be built
with this type of environmental specification.
Obviously, the greater the number
of new homes that are built incorporating
these features, the greater the public
demand for them and the more economical
it will become to build in this way.
This development shows that we do
not need to increase nuclear power
in order to reduce global carbon dioxide

Each year at Christmas time, we distribute hundreds of gifts to needy children and families across our Owasso and Collinsville communities. We believe that every family should be able to sit down in their own home to a traditional meal at Christmas time to help create happy memories for their children. Unfortunately, for families living in financial disadvantage, this holiday often adds additional strain to existing budget pressures. We try to ease the burden on these families by providing gifts to their children during the holiday season.
Our program provides gifts to children 0 to 18 years of age and disabled, senior adults who might otherwise go without. Each year, more than 500 children receive gifts!
In our Giving Tree program, parents in need of assistance register their children to receive gifts fitting to their wish lists. Often times, children ask for items many would consider necessities – shoes, mittens, and clothing. We partner with churches, businesses, civic groups, and individuals in the area to share these wish lists or "stockings" and together we encourage our community to "adopt" a child, disabled person, or senior for Christmas by providing gifts from their wish list. Every year, our program engages over 600 people in our community to make a difference in the lives of those in need during the Holiday Season. Shortly before Christmas, parents pick up the gifts and bring them home to be opened as part of their family celebration.
Regular Business Hours:
9 am -2 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays
1 pm – 6pm on Thursdays
We are closed on Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays.
Documentation needed when signing up: photo ID, proof of residency (Utility bill or lease agreement), proof of income for all adults in the household and birth certificate for children or court documents stating guardianship. Families must also agree not to seek holiday gift assistance from any other organization in the same year.

Material use in baseball bats
Source: Smithsonian Institution.
The first "official" baseball game was played in the early 1800s, more than 160 years ago. The equipment was simple: bat, ball, dirt playing field, and four wooden bases. No gloves.
In the early years, the players made their own bats, all from wood. Eventually, batmakers found that the best style of bat was long and slender, tapered, with a carved knob at the end of the bat for better control.
Metal baseball bat. Source: NASA. Although the first metal bat was patented in 1924, players did not start using metal bats until the first aluminum bats were developed in the 1970s. Aluminum (of which the United States is one of the world's leading producers) is derived from bauxite ore. Bats made of aluminum became an instant success. They were light, durable, and easy to use, and players could hit the ball much farther than with a wooden bat. Unlike the wooden bat, a metal bat temporarily flexes when hit with the ball, and springs back, transferring more energy to the ball than a rigid wooden bat. This so-called "trampoline effect" is the secret of the metal bat's superior performance over a wooden bat.
Titanium bats were first introduced in 1993 but were later banned from official play because there were concerns that the bats were too dangerous. Various aluminum alloy bats were also introduced in the 1990s. The most successful of these was the scandium-aluminum bat. Scandium is a mineral that, when alloyed with aluminum, greatly increases the strength and resilience of the aluminum without adding to the weight. Scandium occurs in minute quantities in more than 800 minerals, and is usually obtained as a byproduct of refining uranium. Today, most high-quality metal bats are made from scandium-aluminum alloy.
The design of bats also continues to evolve as manufacturers search for ways to magnify the trampoline effect and increase the size of the bat's "sweet spot" (the optimal place on the bat for hitting the ball). One design introduced in the late 1990s is a double-walled bat; this design comprises an outer wall of scandium-aluminum, an inner wall of a composite material (often graphite), and a "filling" of rubber or a thick fluid between the two walls. Another design structures the scandium-aluminum shell of the bat around a series of flexible arches.

|Eco Camp for kids this week!
|News Releases - Environment, Weather & Nature
|Written by M. McNeil
|Wednesday, 25 April 2012 14:41
300 area elementary school children are going to spend time in the "wilds" this week learning about our natural habitat. ECO Camp is coordinated by the Rock Island County Regional Office of Education in conjunction with the following organizations all who were involved in creating ECO Camp 12 years ago - a true partnership:
Natural Resources Conservation Service
Soil & Water Conservation District
Department of Natural Resources - District Forestry
Department of Natural Resources - Fisheries
The first ECO Camp was Fall 2000 and we do 2 days each fall and 2 days each spring. We have had over 7,000 students attend ECO Camp over those 12 years. We have been able to provide transportation funding for schools in need so the field trip is free!
ECO Camp Basics:
Professional biologists, fisheries experts, and soil scientists are just some of the leaders who will share their expertise with students who attend ECO Camp on April 26th and 27th at Loud Thunder Forest Preserve from 9:30 am -2 pm.
Purpose: Students will gain a basic understanding of environmental ecology and skills for wise natural resource management and use in Illinois.
Over the two days, over 300 4th-6th grade students from area schools will travel to six, 30-minute sessions throughout the day.
Schools attending:
Logan School, Moline
CR Hanna, Orion
Eugene Field, RI
Riverdale, Port Byron
The stations and what they'll learn:
A. Habitat composition - Students learn about different ecosystems and their composition such as wetlands, lakes, streams, and soils.
B. Management – Students learn about land and water management. Students learn the importance of maintaining stream banks and farming practices to prevent soil erosion and water pollution. The fisheries biology station teaches children about the importance of maintaining appropriate populations of fish and also the importance of keeping our waterways clean.
C. Responsible action – Students learn about soil erosion and how they can help prevent soil erosion on a small scale. They also learn about responsible farming practices that prevent soil erosion and water pollution by actively experimenting with a simulation.
D. Biodiversity & Communities – Students learn about many species of fish and the types of organisms that they feed on for survival. Students also learn about the many organisms that live in the soil. At the wetlands learning station, students learn about all the different types of organisms (birds, amphibians, mammals, insects, etc.) that live in the wetlands
E. Populations – Students learn about populations of fish in Lake George and why it is important to determine what types of fish are flourishing and the general populations of fish and macroinvertebrates to gauge the health of the lake.

4 A4 posters showing the 4 maths methods I use at school (chunking up for division, number line for subtraction, partitioning for addition and grid method for multiplication) I printed them onto A3 (resized) and backed on coloured paper and laminated for display. Really useful for the kids to refer More…to.
Also included an A4 sheet with all 4 on, which I printed off and stuck in the front of their homework books for them to reference at home, and to help parents know what methods we use too!

In our life, we're blessed by amazing things at the moment, but this one is the icing on our cake. Every year, when I do my "Top 100" list of things I'd like to accomplish with my little bitty life, the top five has stayed pretty consistent for the last few years. Number one has always been, "Love Jason for the rest of my life." Easy peasy. Number four happened this year in February when Jamie Bodnar Drowley of Inklings Literary signed me as a client, and BOOM, I had an agent.
Then, in October, we got the phone call for Little Miss Pumpkin, and suddenly my number two goal of adopting a baby girl was dangling in front of me. With her in our house, the last six weeks (yes, it's been that long) have been nothing short of miraculous. I can't tell you the number of times I spontaneously burst into ridiculous tears of happiness when I sing her to sleep.
Not only that, but they're fast-track releasing it, which means not only are we announcing today, but I'm already neck-deep in edits, which means you'll get to read it soon!!! I can't wait to hear what you think.
You know the saying, "my cup runneth over?" Yeah, the blessings in this house are less like a cup running over and more like:
I guess there's just one more thing to say:
Then, in October, we got the phone call for Little Miss Pumpkin, and suddenly my number two goal of adopting a baby girl was dangling in front of me. With her in our house, the last six weeks (yes, it's been that long) have been nothing short of miraculous. I can't tell you the number of times I spontaneously burst into ridiculous tears of happiness when I sing her to sleep.
So how did THIS happen at the same time? How? How can we be so very blessed all at once?Okay, take a deep breath and check this out!!!!
Yes, you saw that right, my favorite peeps, FULL MEASURES, my NA Romance, will be published by Entangled Publishing!!!! AAAAAAAH!!!!!
Honestly, I thought when this happened, if Jason missed being here, it would destroy me. So I went a little preemptive and made him as much a part of this as I could.
Back in August, when Full Measures went on Sub, I was talking to a friend of mine from Rucker, tossing around ideas for her to make me something fabulous to send Jason. After all, I've been sporting stuff like, "proud aviation wife," and all that for the last like... 11 years. GoneGirly took my idea, and surprised me by whipping it up without even telling me (or charging me), and shipped it straight to me. I'm incredibly blessed by the friends I've made through the years.
Here's what I sent him:
Come on, you know it's kinda funny. So I sent the glass, totally ignored the postal code and sent a bottle of sparkling cider. then I wrapped them up all pretty with a giant sign that said, "Open when Rebecca says to." Then I told him to stick it somewhere and forget about it.
About a week after it arrived in Afghanistan, I told him he could open it! Talk about timing! I didn't tell him what the box was for, so watch it play out on Skype via my totally awesome in-focus (not) cell phone pics. ;)
Yeah, he's got no clue what this box is for.
Laughing that it says, "No, seriously, if Rebecca isn't on Skype... STOP."
Um.... Okay, so which one do I open first?
Opening the "one that feels lighter."
He thinks the glass is open, but still doesn't quite understand...
That's his "HOLY S*** you have an offer???" face!
Trust me folks, this is as happy as Jason ever looks, lol!
Showing off his stemware before I pop my bottle of champagne and we toast together!
We're as close as a deployment will let us be, and it's pretty much a perfect moment.
After this moment, I said, "now all we need is our baby," and we laughed. You see, everything happens at once for us. It's always been like that, so when I called my sister about 2 1/2 weeks after the offer and said, "well, we're working on a book deal, so what do you think just happened?" She immediately knew we'd gotten a call for a baby! LOL!
I've never been more stressed out, or more blissed out, and the combination is just... just...
Okay, and you know what happens when you .gif-hunt "waterfall?" You get 90's flashbacks:
But I digress. There is so much that I'm grateful for right now!
Once the final contract came in, and was ready for signature, I waited until Jason was up on Skype and signed, and then... we celebrated (sparkling cider on the little guys, of course...)
He totally broke out the glass again!
Skype amazes me. So thankful to have him!
Boys celebrating before bedtime!!!
This is everything I've ever wanted, my dream job! I feel incredibly blessed to have signed with Entangled! I've never seen a more author-friendly house, and my editors are amazing!
Huge thanks to my agent, Jamie Bodnar Drowley for always having my back. Jamie, you have no idea how amazing it feels to have you in my corner! Working with you makes awesome stuff like this possible.
But the biggest thanks goes to Jason and the kiddos. Guys (and gal), the countless hours of mama playing on the computer with her imaginary friends is about to pay off with a BOOK! Which I guess, leads more time playing. ;)
I kinda, sorta, really heart you all!

Zack Wheeler set off the alarms at camp this morning when the Mets announced he would miss this afternoon's scheduled start against the St. Louis Cardinals with a mild right oblique strain.
Wheeler, the organization's most prized pitching prospect, hurt his oblique while taking swings in the batting cage. Mets general manager Sandy Alderson told reporters there is no timetable yet, but said the decision to sit Wheeler was "mostly precautionary at this point." Wheeler hopes to be ready for his next start.
"You don't want to get hurt, especially during spring training when I'm trying to prove myself a little bit," Wheeler said. "But like I said, I don't want to be out two months. I just want to be out one start."
Wheeler said there was no single swing that triggered the injury. He said he has never had an issue with his oblique before.
Darin Gorski will make the scheduled start in Wheeler's place.

thanks max your stuff is sick... i definitely printed out a zoomed in version of some of your mountains while ive been sketching these... i hope its flattery and not theft...
don't worry I did the same thing =D he has really pretty mountains. And trees.
This is looking pretty good so far! Not really enough to comment on critically yet but the mountains are really nice =)
I would have prefered you asked me before using them but since you give me credits for that that's cool, go ahead (make sure to remove them from the map when you'll be done with yoursthough )
oh no... i just printed some out on paper and had them in front of me while im sketching onto the computer im not tracing or anything just reference.. theyre my own drawings... i wouldnt copy like that... i just had nothing to really go by..

I get "NRB"s (no-reason boners) very often. Why do I get an erection when I'm not aroused?
I'm 21 and I have recently started going out with by first proper adult boyfriend - though I'd had sex a few times before, it had never been in a relationship that lasted very long or got very serious. I have really enjoyed getting close to my boyfriend and have looked forward to having a developed sexual relationship. However, as we began to have sex more often, it wasn't slow and careful like it was in the beginning and he started have sex with me in a way that I would consider 'fucking' rather than 'making love'. It's 'fast and hard', as they say. I know that makes me sound very passive, as if I don't contribute to how things happen - which I do if I choose to - but he seems to like it like that and I don't want to completely dominate how we have sex by saying that it must always be slow and gentle. He also has said that he finds it difficult to stay hard if he goes slowly.
For me, there seems to be a contradiction between how affectionate and caring he is with me usually (which he always is) and the way that he has sex with me. He enjoys and takes time over making me orgasm and is very loving. I asked him whether he saw that contradiction between that and the fucking and he said only that as long as it's in a loving relationship, couples can be rough with each other during sex and that it was normal.
Hi guys: I'm a 15 year old male, not in a relationship, and really doubt I'll be having intercourse any time soon. However, given that I have the time, commitment and attitude for it I thought it might be a good idea to train myself to last longer for intercourse, so that when the time does come I feel, y'no, good about myself.
I've been masturbating with varying regularity for a bit less than a year now, so I know myself and my sexual responses. I'd also like to make it clear that I don't: a)feel unconfident and generally scared of intercourse from fear of inadequacy, b)have unrealistic ideas about what is 'normal' from pornography, or c)think that intercourse is the only 'real' sex, and that how long you can last is a measure of how good or 'manly' you are.
This said, I also know that improved ejaculatory control would be useful in the future to improve the amount of pleasure me and my future partners get out of intercourse, and starting now would likely be more effective. I try to masturbate with a relaxed attitude, and not in environments where I'm somehow pushed for time or otherwise stressed. I've read about a lot of techniques online, but given that 'premature ejaculation' is a problem so many people have a lot of anxiety about and there's obviously a huge amount of money to be made in convincing people that you have some miracle cure for their problem, I thought I'd ask you guys at Scarleteen about what sort of things actually work in the real world and what's just fantasy.

15 Spinning Wheel Road, Suite 432 • Hinsdale, IL 60521
Winning Steak on the Line (03/12/13)
Posted Tuesday, March 12, 2013
By Mike Paradise
After three weeks on the sidelines the red-hot Celebrity Hercules returns to competition in Wednesday's "Winner's Over" top-level trot feature at Balmoral Park.
The 5-year-old son of Kadabra brings a five-racing streak into the fifth race $12,500 trot with the last three coming for his current owners Dandy Farms, Inc. of Glenview, Illinois.
Another victory Wednesday would give his owners the $24,000 return they paid for Celebrity Hercules at the mid-January Meadowlands Sale and it would have come in just four starts since joining the Erin Elliot Stable.
With "Winner's over $11,000 in their last five starts" drawing outside in Wednesday's headliner Celebrity Hercules was a "lock' to draw the outside post (the eight) but the gelding is very familiar with it. The trotter has had the 7 or 8 slots in his first three starts since coming to our state.
Erin is obviously pleased with the arrival of Celebrity Hercules to her stable and with some other investments by her Dandy Farms owners.
"I have to give credit to his owners (Jeff Davis and Matt Shipley) who not only went out and bought this good trotter Celebrity Hercules but also put a lot of cash into the business acquiring horses this year like Crime Of Passion and Firstclassallthway," said Erin.
"These are horses with some back class and horses that they want to race here in Illinois."
However, just how long Celebrity Hercules will compete in Illinois isn't certain. Unless the top-level field of trotters at Balmoral Park improves, it may not be for very much longer.
Hoosier Park opens its meeting in three weeks (Tuesday, April 2) as strictly a harness racing facility and its Opens had been offering $20,000 pots.
Meanwhile Celebrity Hercules is listed as the 5-2 favorite in the morning line with John De Long catch-driving for Marcus Miller who is in New Jersey.
Starting inside of Celebrity Hercules (from the 1-slot out) are Mad Cow Lisa (programmed at 8-1, John Roberts), Evil Urges (7-2, Dave Magee), Fox Valley Arrow (10-1, Casey Leonard), Better In Texas (12-1, Trace Tetrick), Melt In Your Mouth (6-1, Sam Widger) and My Muscleman (9-2, Todd Warren).
Vacation Money: When the 12-1 longshot George's Vacation drew off by 5 lengths in Sunday's sixth race the $26.60 winner was a Mike's Price Shot. Sunday's other Price Shot Haileysheartdesire also won and paid $7.40 in the 10th race.

The idea that God was so bored out of his mind he spent 6 days creating everything in the Universe, and for good measure put in several jokes to fool us into believing it must have taken him much longer.
According to this theory, He created everything in media res, ie, right in the middle of the action. Although the Universe is only 6000 years old, we see light from stars which appears to have taken billions of years to reach Earth. Although radioactive minerals in rocks appears to have taken billions of years to decay to the state we see in nature, the rocks are really only 6000 years old.
This is because God is really really sneaky. Basically, an omnipotent being can make a Universe any way He wants. He can make it so that everyone chooses of their own free will to be good; and evil and suffering don't exist. He can teach each and every human soul to reach salvation, no matter how long it takes (He's got all the time in the Universe and more if He wants it.)
But, according to Creationism, that's not what God did. Instead, He made malaria, elephantiasis, and bone-break fever. The theory of Creationism implies that a perfect, benevolent, all-powerful Being created a Universe which He knew would produce not only Jeffery Dahmer but The Backstreet Boys as well.
Needless to say, Creationism is highly regarded because it is almost perfectly illogical and incomprehensible -- harder to make sense of than Einstein's general relativity, quantum mechanics, and Keynesian economics combined. Something this nutty just has to be true.
On the other hand, some hold that Creationism has fallen into disrepute and has been called by renowned scientists across the globe: "A disease of the mind, in the same family as coprophilia, necrophilia, Gonorrhea Lectim, and fret wanking".
Alternate Theories
An alternate theory is that the universe is really just a giant Pez dispenser for God.
It may also be possible that the Universe is a cosmic soap opera for a Supremely bored God.

Solar Vacuum Tube Oven
this wiki
The SaVeTaO(Solar Vacuum Tube Oven)is basically a scaled up version of the SK-TF (Solar Kettle-Thermos Flask) with a bigger opening (Internal Diameter: 4inches instead of 2 inches)to facilitate baking, cooking and even autoclaving on top of solar boiling and pasteurizing water.
The SaVeTaO is ready for commercial production, the only thing that prevent it from being realized and saving lives in the field in poverty striven and resource poor domains but blessed with rich sunshine resources like sub Sahara Africa is the initial seed capital to manufacture the first 1,000 units of SaVeTaO.
Any kind soul out there who wants to or knows of someone who wants to be blessed by the poor each and everyday when the poor uses the SaVeTaO to cook, boil, bake and solar autoclave, please feel free to contact me to discuss possible collaboration.

The Beard Oil is hand made in the UK using the finest essential oils and it is to be used sparingly as a only a few drops go a long way. The 100% cotton muslin cloth is supposed to be rustic, to be in keeping with the style of the packaging, hence why it is called a rag. I'm sorry you are disappointed with the handmade and crafted look of the product, we try to make the description as clear as possible - it does mention there is 50ml in the bottle. If you had contacted us with your thoughts we would have happily returned the item for you with a full refund. Thu 28 Nov 2013 Little small for the price, but nicely presented.

Brown brushy algae (?)
In my 44g tank there's tons of brown brushy algae... (I think thats what its called). I think I practically killed every Malaysian trumpet snail in my 50g when I completely cleaned it out so I want to take some big ones from my 44g and transfer them. So my question is, is brown brushy algae always present in the water and caused by an imbalance? Or is it transferred tank to tank? I don't want to bring any into my 50g if its transferable....
Black beard algae can be different shades. Is that what you have?? If so there can be different reason for it but usually its from you lights. As long as you move the snails then you won't transport to the other tank. Actually the only way you can transfer it is to move it there.
Yes I think it's black beard algae. As long as no strands or microscopic spores or something are transferred. I guess I'll wash the snails several times in the 50g water.
I wouldnt worry about moving snails. Just any plants or decor that has it on it I would.

Big Bold Unabashed Color
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Big Bold Color. It demands space to empower a room. These stunning examples of large splashes of pigment speak to simple gestures, not letting the space get too busy but rather placing sculptural, singular elements of focus in the room. So dramatic, and full of energy. Notice how the floors are used in this color scheme? All planes (walls, ceiling and floor) play off each other to become part of the composition. These spaces work so well because the saturation of hues are balanced.
"Designed by Gisbert Pöppler, The Hansaviertel Project is a full renovation of a private apartment owned by a prominent writer for the popular German television show "Verliebt in Berlin". The property is tucked in the corner of a large modern apartment building, designed by Walter Gropius for the 1957 Interntational Building Exhibition, "Interbau". As if intentionally planned to coincide with this important milestone, the renovation was completed just in time to celebrate the 90th year anniversary of this now classic modernist BAUHAUS experiment in urban living." architectonic

DIY, Ready Made Curtain
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Now this is my kind of DIY project. A system of parts, completely customizable to work with your individual decor, and simple enough to put together and hang in an afternoon. 'Greater than the sum of its parts: 'Ready Made Curtain' by the celebrated Bouroullec brothers for Kvadrat comes in kit form.' Of course, this simple idea is a brilliant example of a low cost design solution, with an elegant and sophisticated result. Not afraid to roll up your sleeves, and add your own signature design statement? This could prove to be a lot of fun.

Rattan gone MOD
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Traditionally, Rattan has been used as an appropriate solution for a sunroom or enclosed porch. These modern interpretations transcend the typical and expected. I can imagine these beauties in my living room, eating area or a sunny reading spot. Even better, these maintenance free pieces can be used inside or out. A welcome addition to the garden. Given their interesting form, these sculptural elements can be appreciated from every angle, and certainly can hold their own as a focal point in a space. Unique, textural, and modern.

Tonfisk Design
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Tonfisk Design is a Finnish design group with an eye for modern and innovative design solutions. Each product is developed to solve a functional problem, beautifully. 'All Tonfisk's ceramics are produced by hand at Tonfisk's own factory in Turku to ensure good quality, the possibility to innovate and the well being of those who make a Tonfisk product.' The Warm Collection offers a coffee and tea set. I am impressed by the sleek, minimal design aesthetic, but even more so with its practical and sustainable design solutions. The wood sleeve keeps the hot crafe elevated, so there is no need for a coaster. It also functions as a barrier, providing insulation to the vessel within, and to your hand as you hold it. The all natural cork stopper provides insulation and heat retention as well. The Newton cream and sugar set is another great example of Tonfisk's inspired product design. The sugar bowl remains horizontal while pouring, and can easily be removed for filling the creamer and cleaning. All of these design elements aside, these dispensers and collectors are elegant additions to any table top. Enjoy.

The Modern Bus Stop
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Provide shelter from the elements. Seems simple enough. Yet, more often than not, the every-town, every-day bus shelter is a bit, well, uninspired. Fear not. The Vitra Design Museum in Germany, has a knock your socks off bus stop to welcome visitors or provide respite after a day in the galleries. Inspired. Modern. Functional. Even the seating in this protected enclosure is classic and modern. Eiffel Wire Chairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames. Perfect.

Bronx, NY (Dec. 8, 2005) - Tom Masella, head coach at Central Connecticut State University, was named head football coach at Fordham University, it was announced today. In Masella's two-year tenure at Central Connecticut, he led the Blue Devils to two straight Northeast Conference (NEC) titles.
"Fordham University is an excellent academic institution in the greatest city in the world and I'm thrilled to have this opportunity," said Masella. "I believe all the resources are here, from the administration, to the facilities and the alumni support, to build a winning program."
In his first year as head coach at Central Connecticut, Masella put together one of the most successful seasons in the program's history and its first winning season in 17 years. His efforts garnered the team the conference championship and Masella was named NEC Coach of the Year.
This fall, the Blue Devils finished with a 7-4 record, tying for the NEC crown with a 5-2 conference record. Eleven of Masella's student-athletes received All-Northeast Conference accolades in 2005, including one who was named Offensive Rookie of the Year and another who received Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
"Throughout his coaching career, Tom has shown a remarkable ability in building successful football programs and molding model student-athletes," said Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham University. "We are confident that he will bring the same success to Fordham as we make our bid to regain the Patriot League championship."
Masella has been part of four conference championships in the past five years, winning titles the past two years at Central Connecticut, in 2003 at the University of Massachusetts, and in 2001 at Louisiana Tech. As the defensive coordinator at the University of Massachusetts, Masella led the Minutemen to the Atlantic 10 championship and received a bid to the Division I-AA playoffs. In Masella's two seasons at Massachusetts, the Minutemen compiled an 18-7 record, finishing the 2003 season as the 30th ranked team in I-AA in rushing defense. Individually, three of his defensive players were named to the All-Conference First-Team and four more players were named to the Second- and Third-Team All-Conference squads.
Masella spent three seasons as the defensive coordinator at Louisiana Tech, helping turn the Bulldogs into one of the top Division I-A defensive units in the country. His 2001 defense ranked 11th in the nation in interceptions and 13th in turnovers forced, as the Bulldogs won the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championship, their first season in the conference.
"We are excited that Tom has accepted our invitation to coach for the Rams," said Frank McLaughlin, executive director of athletics at Fordham University. "He's a proven winner, and we expect his winning ways to continue at Fordham."
Growing up in Staten Island, N.Y., Masella played football at Tottenville High School before moving on to Wagner College, where he started and played in all 43 games of his career. During his final two seasons, Masella helped the Seahawks post a 17-3 record.
Masella has also served as the head football coach at Boston University and Fairfield University.
Masella and his wife, Lesli Ann, have two sons, eight-year-old T.J., and six-year-old Jack.

All-Star Christian
Baseball slugger Mike Piazza on praying for home runs, forgiving opponents, and passing judgment on Barry Bonds.
I truly believe my whole professional career has been a blessing from God. And it's been a great gift. I know I worked hard, and you have to apply yourself, but I still feel that you have to have a lot of blessings from above. And anybody who plays this game, you have to be very spiritual, because it's very frustrating at times.
I grew upRoman Catholic
. And my mom was very instrumental in guiding me and forming a spiritual foundation for myself. And so it's just something I've always enjoyed practicing. It's something I've always enjoyed being a part of, and something I'm proud of. I'm very proud of my faith.
Why do you say that you have to be spiritual to play the game?
|Baseball Is a Spiritual Sport
Because it's a game based on failure. It is a slice of life, so to speak, that life is adversity, and how you deal with adversity. And baseball, if you fail seven out of 10 times, you're a success. It's probably not the same numbers in life. But I still feel that in life it's not so much [about] the good times. It's what you find out about yourself during the bad times. Because when the times are going well, or things are going well, everyone's on their best behavior. And it's easy to be good. But when you go through adversity, when a couple goes through frustrations, or they go through a bankruptcy, or they have bills--all these things, you see a person's true colors. And you see a person's true grace under fire, so to speak.

Playing the Baltimore Sun card
As a reporter, I've got this ID badge that lets people know I'm legit.
But in my line of work, I've got to be careful when I use it.
I'm not allowed to use it for personal benefit, of course, or to call people out when I'm reviewing a bar.
I don't even wear it when I'm reviewing a bar, because I go in anonymously.
But I've been temped to use it a few times ...
- Being turned away from an empty Mosaic for wearing sneakers.
- Standing at the empty indoor bar at MEX with money in my hand while five bartenders stood at the opposite end, stared at me and ignored me.
- Sitting at the bar at Gin Mill for 10 minutes before being given the time of day.
- Terrible, horrible, no good very bad service at Porter's Pub.
Each time I've really wanted to whip out this card and be like, DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I'M KIND OF A BIG DEAL. BOOYA!
But I'm afraid if I did that, not only would I get fired, but something like this would happen.

Winery owners who are nearing retirement and wanting to pull out of their day-to-day schedules might be asking themselves: "Is my family business ready for a transition?" The American economy depends heavily on the continuity and success of family businesses. It is alarming that such a vital force has such a poor survival rate. Although it's hard to predict, the California wine industry may just beat the odds. Scion Advisor's 2005 Succession Survey shows that 270 family wine businesses may ma...

Thats what it says here, My eldest is 21 and had that followed by all my other kids
Just heard the headlines on BBC radio 2, Damn, another usful tool restricted!
aww but it tastes so nice . Why is it that all nice things are bad for you???. Just another thing to add to the list x
It's not the teething gel just the other stuff!
Tara xx Ryan 9 Aaron 5 & little ? due 4/6/09
Got this off the bbc website most people would only have used the teething stuff on kids anyway.
Mouth ulcer and teething treatments containing salicylate salts should not be used by children under the age of 16, UK experts have said.
There is a theoretical risk that these products could cause a serious condition called Reye's syndrome.
But the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said the advice was only precautionary.
The main products affected are Bonjela and Bonjela Cool Mint Gel, but Bonjela Teething Gel is not affected.
tbh we have never actually really recommended Bonjela as a teething gel. This is designed to treat oainful mouth ulcers and not help teething pain.
Bonjela do hoever have a special teething gel which is aimed at little ones and teething pain but to be honest, there are much better products on the market such as Cal-Gel which acutally contains lidocaine which is a mild local anaesthetic and numbs the sore part of the mouth the help baby get some rest xxx

***Palmetto Morning Presented by Jim Dyke & Associates***
THIS FIRST — NOT VERY WELCOME — State officials had planned to turn over operations of some state welcome centers to local tourism groups by Sept. 1, but that timeline has been extended as the state works out the details with interested groups. In July, officials with the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism announced that, because of state budget cuts, they could no longer pay to operate the nine centers. The centers, mostly along state borders, offer travelers information about S.C. attractions and hotels.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY — I love the 80s: Richard Gere and Debbie Gibson, plus looking for a wild wild night, Van Morrison
NATIONAL LENS — IN PLAY — As chief recruiter of Republican U.S. House candidates, Kevin McCarthy spends his time searching the campaign trail for Elvis, the Grand Ole Opry and a path to a congressional majority for his party. With House Republicans vying to regain control of the chamber they lost to the Democrats in 2006, the strength of challengers McCarthy has enlisted will determine whether the party can capture the net 39 seats it needs to succeed.
BEHIND THE WHEEL — Business leaders and U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn will discuss a proposed federal transportation bill to fix the state's aging roads and bridges. The Associated General Contractors of America said in a release that a news conference will be held on Tuesday to discuss a nationwide campaign to garner support for a transportation bill. The purpose of the bill would be to fix deteriorating bridges and roads while providing jobs.
START TO DUCK — The New START Treaty, a treaty signed between the U.S. and Russia, is promoted by the Obama Administration as a means toward a reduction of nuclear weapons between the nations. Senator Richard Lugar (R–IN) is the only Republican to pledge support to date, and any prediction of this controversial treaty passing in a lame duck session after the November elections may be wishful thinking. Missile defense is going to be a sticking point and may lead to this treaty's downfall. As Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) argued that the treaty has many failings, and with regard to missile defense, this treaty may render the U.S. unable to defend against a missile attack:
DELA-SCARE — The results have not even been finalized in the quirky Alaska Republican Senate primary and already the political world is bracing itself for another instance in which an out-of-nowhere Tea Party candidate derails the highly-favored establishment contender. On Monday, Democratic and Republican operatives alike expressed interest and consternation (respectively) over the possibility that Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) could be the next victim of the purity purge inside the GOP tent.
UH OH JOE — Congressional investigators are questioning a half-dozen lawmakers for possibly misspending government funds meant to pay for overseas travel, according to people familiar with the matter. The investigation follows a Wall Street Journal article in March that said lawmakers had used daily cash stipends, meant to cover certain costs of official government travel overseas, to cover expenses that appeared to be unauthorized by House rules. An independent ethics board has referred the matter to the House ethics committee.
MILE HIGH — U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, a Columbia Democrat, and state Rep. Tim Scott, a Charleston Republican find are on opposite sides of a heated congressional race — in Colorado. Scott Clyburn The Denver Post reports Clyburn, the U.S. House Majority Whip, has been helping Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter defend his seat. His challenger, Ryan Frazier, is like Scott an African-American Republican looking seeking to become the first black Republican elected to the U.S. House since Oklahoma's J.C. Watts retired.
ALVIN'S GOT A PEN — Alvin Greene, South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate, may seem to defy many classic stereotypes of aspiring politicians, but when it comes to confidence — a must for most political contenders — a new op-ed written by Greene in The Guardian shows that the enigmatic unemployed Senate hopeful has no shortage. "I'll save your house. I'll save your job," Greene loftily promises in the editorial. "I'm unemployed, and, if elected, I can teach the Harvard rich kids in the White House and the senate a thing or two."
CLYBURN CONTRIBUTES — Democratic senators are donating generously to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but his biggest contributor is the one who often gives him a serious case of heartburn – Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.). An examination of incumbent senators' donations to Reid (D-Nev.) found Lieberman led the way with $14,000, coming from his two PACs.
BEHIND THE SOCIAL SCENE — Last week former Republican Senator Alan Simpson, who co-chairs the White House's fiscal commission, drew a storm of criticism for comparing Social Security to a "cow with 310 million tits." But Titgate isn't really about language. It's about both Simpson himself — who has long viewed Social Security as a bloated program for spoiled old people — and about the commission as a whole. Comprised of nine tax-averse Republicans and nine Democrats, many of whom have expressed support for Social Security changes in the past, the commission will almost certainly be biased toward benefit cuts, and away from raising taxes, when it presents its report on December 1. Learn about the cast of characters who will be making the calls.
GRAND OLE TWEETING — For the 2010 elections, the results of the Twitter primary are in. And the Republicans have won. Barack Obama famously harnessed the power of the Internet and social media to aid his winning presidential campaign in 2008. But the latest leg of the marathon struggle to make best political use of the Internet is going the Republicans' way.
2010 WATCH — 5, 4, 3, 2, WON — Democratic gubernatorial nominee Vincent Sheheen has proposed five Lincoln-Douglas debates with Republican nominee Nikki Haley to be held at five sites around the state. Sheheen, a Camden state senator, and Haley, a Lexington state representative, are the major party nominees headed for a showdown in the Nov. 2 general election. Green Party and United Citizens Party candidate Morgan Reeves will also be on the ballot. How often Reeves will be included in the debates has yet to be determined.
CRUZE THROUGH SCHOOL — One senior in the Columbia region, which includes Sumter, could earn a new 2011 Chevy Cruze just by staying in school. High school seniors at more than 23 schools will become eligible for a chance to win the car after completing 180 days of 98 percent or better attendance at their respective schools for the 2010-2011 academic year. In its third year in South Carolina, the "Chevy Drive for Perfection" is an initiative presented by Chevrolet and the local Columbia Chevrolet Dealers in conjunction with the local school boards.
STINKY QUESTION — A pair of state legislators and at least two doctors connected to the University of South Carolina's School of Medicine have raised concerns about the university's plans to expand its medical education program in Greenville. The Greenville Hospital System, which has promised to contribute $35 million to $39 million over seven to 10 years to help pay for the expansion, had its credit rating downgraded by Moody's in April and announced layoffs in May. And a prominent backer of the USC-Greenville Hospital System deal, former USC President Andrew Sorensen, is a paid consultant for the hospital system, causing some to question his objectivity.
NICE TO MEET YOU — Sen. Mick Mulvaney, R-Lancaster, released his first television ad in his race to unseat U.S. Rep. John Spratt, a Democrat who has represented the 5th Congressional District for nearly three decades. Mulvaney, his wife Pam and the couple's triplets are featured in the ad meant to introduce Mulvaney to a wide audience. He does not mention Spratt in the ad.
HOLD YOUR BREATH — Aiken County does not yet know whether it meets air quality standards set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA was expected to propose a stricter benchmark for ground-level ozone this week, but has delayed setting the new rules until the end of October because it is still in the process of compiling its final report, according to S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control Air Quality Chief Myra Reece.
LETTER WRITING — Gov. Mark Sanford's office said Monday they will accept $127 million in federal aid to the state-run health care program for the poor and disabled. Governors must write a letter accepting the money. Sanford took the Legislature to court over stimulus money last year, but has said he did not want to fight the battle again. Sanford has never opposed health care-related stimulus, spokesman Ben Fox said.
NOW HE DANCES — Alvin Greene, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate from South Carolina, answered political questions and even showed off some of his dance moves on a Charlotte radio program Monday.
HOWEVER — Incumbent Senator Jim DeMint remains in the lead in the U.S. Senate race over opponent Alvin Greene. According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, Republican DeMint claims 63 percent of the vote compared to Democratic nominee Greene's 19 percent. Eight percent of the 500 likely voters questioned say they prefer some other candidate. Ten percent remain undecided.
GIVE YOUR VIEWPOINT — The public will get to express its opinion on design plans for the last link in a major expressway on the South Carolina coast. The South Carolina Department of Transportation on Tuesday holds the first of two public hearings on plans to complete the Mark Clark Expressway around Charleston.

CHARLESTON — First National Bank of the South names S.C. market president
SPARTANBURG — Airport officials set meeting on GSP upgrades
VIEWPOINT — TOUGH STUFF — The Times and Democrat believes that the "Anti-government approach is working in 2010. The primary victory by Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain is being pointed to as a sign of the strength of the anti-Washington tea party movement. McCain, the conservative that critics have said for years, even during his presidential campaign of 2008, is too liberal, moved decidedly to the right on issues such as immigration and came away a winner. He is not the first Republican Washington insider to fall out of favor with voters. Across the country, tea party candidates are making villains of those in Washington, Republicans during the primary season and Democrats when it comes time for the November election."
VIEWPOINT II — BARKERS BEGS — Raising $167 million in 98 weeks will require finding $1.7 million in gifts every week. That was the bottom line President James Barker shared with a Clemson-friendly group of Rotarians less than a mile from the campus he has headed up for 11 years. "This is a great time of year," Barker joked with the crowd. "We're undefeated and all the students have a 4.0." The fund drive, called The Will to Lead, is now in the public stage of a $600 million endeavor under way since 2007 with major gifts coming from BMW ($10 million), Harris A. Smith ($3.7 million), BB&T ($3.5 million), Michelin ($3 million) and the Cliffs Communities ($3 million).
FINALLY THIS — TWICE AS SWEET — When the South Carolina Air National Guard airmen returned to McEntire on Sunday after a 120-day deployment to Iraq, one young man's return became a life-changing moment for his girl.

Sophienhöhle in JailMonday, October 24th, 2005
|Image: the cave entrance is called Ahornloch, and is rather impressive.
The Sophienhöhle (Sophie's Cave) in Germany, in the Frankian Jura, is a fine cave, with nice speleothems and an impressive entrance portal. When you walk up to the cave from the parking lot in the valley, you reach a wide spaced, surrounded by typical dolomite knocks. And about a third of this amphitheatre is the wide portal of the cave. The huge and wide entrance hall, with level and dry sandy floor was rather popular with the local youth, who used it to make party.
Some time ago the cave and the nearby castle changed owner, and the new owner emphasized on exploiting the cave. He added coloured light, employed cheap but absolute incompetent guides, and increased entrance fee.
Ok, thats his decision, and the cutomer (visistor) will decide if he is right.
But after some kids again used the cave for a party and left some empty bottles, he decided to close the portal completely by a iron bar gate. So the portal does not look a bit romantic any more, it looks like a jail.
And by the way: it does not make any sense, as its is still possible to make party in the open space, on the green lawn with a fire place in the middle.

Bryant's big fourth beats Clippers
Lakers 96, Clippers 91
Kobe Bryant scored 12 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, Pau Gasol had 23 points and 10 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a fourth-quarter deficit for a 96-91 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night in another testy edition of their cross-hallway rivalry.
Andrew Bynum scored 19 points to help the Lakers snapped their three-game skid with their first win of the season over their fellow Staples Center tenants.
The clubs combined for six technical fouls, and the Lakers' Josh McRoberts was ejected.
Chris Paul had four points and 12 assists for the Clippers in his return from a five-game absence because of a strained left hamstring.
Bucks 105, Rockets 99: Stephen Jackson and Brandon Jennings each scored 20 points, Ersan Ilyasova had a career-high 19 rebounds after Andrew Bogut sprained his left ankle, and the Bucks snapped an 11-game losing streak in Houston.
Timberwolves 105, Mavericks 90: Kevin Love had 31 points and 10 rebounds after signing his new contract and Minnesota handed defending NBA champion Dallas another ceremonious loss. The end of the Mavericks' seven-game home winning streak came after they finally received their championship rings during a pregame ceremony.
Heat 101, Pistons: 98: LeBron James scored 32 points, including the game's last six from the free throw line, to lead visiting Miami past Detroit. Miami was without Dwyane Wade (right ankle).
Pacers 95, Bulls 90: Danny Granger scored 22 points and Indiana became the first visiting team to win on Chicago's home floor this season.
Thunder 101, Hornets 91: Kevin Durant scored 25 points to lead host Oklahoma City to its 10th win in 11 games. Durant was 9 of 13 from the field and had a team-high seven rebounds.
Cavaliers 91, Knicks 81: Anderson Varejao had 16 rebounds, a powerful dunk down the stretch and outhustled New York's big men to help Cleveland end a four-game losing streak.
Spurs 105, Hawks 83: Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair each scored 17 points, and host San Antonio handed surging Atlanta its first lopsided loss of the season. Tiago Splitter added 16 points for the Spurs, who relished a convincing win over the Southeast Division leaders after losing two of their previous three and barely squeaking past woeful New Orleans on Monday night.
Wizards 92, Bobcats 75: Nick Young scored 20 points, and Andray Blatche had 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead Washington past visiting Charlotte in Randy Wittman's first game as the Wizards' coach. Wittman took over for the fired Flip Saunders on Tuesday.
Nets 97, 76ers 90 (OT): Deron Williams scored 34 points, including a go-ahead three-pointer with 26.8 seconds left in overtime, to help lift visiting New Jersey past Philadelphia.
Warriors 101, Trail Blazers 93: Stephen Curry scored a season-high 32 points and added seven assists and six rebounds, and Golden State extended its recent home dominance against Portland.
Raptors 111, Jazz 106, 2 OT: Jose Calderon hit a three-pointer to tie it at the end of regulation and Toronto overcame an 18-point first-quarter deficit to beat host Utah.
Nuggets 122, Kings 93: Danilo Gallinari cscored 21 of his 23 points in the first half and Denver routed Sacramento for its fifth straight victory and fifth in a row on the road.
•The Nuggets signed the smooth-shooting Danilo Gallinari to a four-year extension worth $42 million. The deal represents a big step for the Nuggets and their versatile Italian forward, who came over from the New York Knicks in the Carmelo Anthony trade last February.
•Timberwolves center/forward Kevin Love signed a four-year maximum extension worth more than $60 million that allows him to opt out after three years.
•Guard Eric Gordon reportedly has turned down a four-year extension offer from the Hornets.
