The Mosaic Centre for Conscious Community and Commerce – Case Study
Located in Edmonton, Alberta, the Mosaic Centre for Conscious Community and Commerce was designed to be the province's first "net-zero energy" commercial building and demonstrate the feasibility of low-energy-use buildings in cold climates.
The owners challenged the design team to deliver a net-zero energy building capable of gaining certification by the Living Building Institute and LEED Platinum. In addition, feasibility analysis favoured wood construction to meet all building science challenges and also provide an enhanced interior work environment.
Construction started in mid-March 2014 and was completed in the fall of 2015 – three months ahead of schedule and on budget. Click on the image to read more.

The Benefits of Wood in Building Construction – a new video by Natural Resources Canada
Transcript: Wood, an abundant and renewable natural resource, is suitable for many types of building construction. Be it residential or non-residential, light frame or heavy timber frame, low rise or mid-rise, wood can be used in various building applications. This is because of the many benefits and positive attributes of wood. The Government of Canada supports the research and development of wood-based construction. A versatile and often cost-effective building material wood can enable developers to build more quickly and more cheaply. Wood structures are strong, durable and resilient. They can be designed to resist major earthquakes and hurricane-like winds. Wood can be used to build striking features like roofs, ceilings, walls and bridges, resulting in visually-appealing structures. Wood building materials are also good for the environment. They are renewable, biodegradable, recyclable, and they store carbon, resulting in a smaller environmental footprint than other building materials. In fact, a typical North American wood-frame home stores about 30 tonnes of carbon. his is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by running the family car for over 5 years. Federally-supported research continues to demonstrate the many benefits of wood in building construction. Wood. Good for building. Good for the environment. Good for Canada.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - A career day for junior running back Glen Coffee was enough to overcome 10 penalties and three turnovers for Alabama on Saturday, sending the No. 2 Crimson Tide (6-0 overall; 3-0 in the SEC) past Kentucky (4-1; 0-1 SEC), 17-14, at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
Coffee rushed 25 times for 218 yards, the highest individual rushing yardage total since Shaun Alexander's 291-yard performance against LSU in 1996, and the first time an Alabama back has had more than 200 rushing yards since 2004. The total is the sixth-highest in a game in Alabama history. In all, Alabama gained 282 yards on the ground.
"We want to be able to go out in any game and control the running game," Coffee said. "When we can establish the run it sets the tone for us. The offensive line has been a huge factor for us all season long and they played great again today."
Coffee busted out of the gate for Alabama, rushing for 101 yards in the first quarter alone against a Kentucky defense that came into the game as the nation's fifth-best, giving up just 50 yards per game on the ground. Coffee's early dominance included a 78-yard touchdown on Alabama's second drive of the afternoon to give the Tide an early 7-0 lead. The touchdown run was Coffee's second of the year of more than 75 yards. Against Arkansas, he broke an 87-yarder, the longest of his career.
"Glen has consistently showed his speed and has been able to stick it up the middle as well," said senior quarterback John Parker Wilson. "He has been powerful and can do it all for us. He is a really good back and was obviously a big part of this win."
Alabama extended its lead to 14-0 on a 4-yard fumble recovery runback by sophomore linebacker Rolando McClain after Kentucky quarterback Mike Hartline fumbled near his own end zone. The score was Alabama's fifth non-offensive score of the year, which leads the nation. Penalties and turnovers played a large part in containing the Alabama offense until two minutes left in the game, when junior Leigh Tiffin kicked a 24-yard field goal to give Alabama a 17-7 lead.
The field goal capped a 15-play, 76-yard drive that consumed 8:10 of the game clock, giving Alabama a 10-point lead with 2:12 remaining. Kentucky answered the field goal with a 49-yard touchdown pass from Hartline to DeMoreo Ford to cut the lead to 17-14 with less than a minute to go. The ensuing onside kick sailed out of bounds, sealing the game for the Tide.
"We're certainly happy to win, but we also put on a clinic today on how to keep the other team in the game," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban. "There are a lot of lessons for us to learn today, and it's great to be able to learn those lessons and not have to lose."
Forty-nine of Alabama's 66 total plays were rushing plays, with Wilson completing 7-of-17 passes for 106 yards with an interception. Freshman Julio Jones was Wilson's top target in the game, catching three passes for 52 yards. In addition to Coffee's rushing total, freshman Mark Ingram carried the ball 11 times for 71 yards and junior Roy Upchurch had five carries for 19 yards.
The Alabama defense forced two turnovers in the game and was led by McClain, who had 10 total tackles. Junior cornerback Javier Arenas was second with six tackles.
Alabama has next Saturday off, returning to Bryant-Denny Stadium in two weeks to face Mississippi (3-3; 1-2 SEC) on October 18. The game time is still to be determined.

Amazing design...as a structural engineering, it my has my mind going crazy. Above all else, I'm just glad we aren't looking at the LA Vikings!

I think it looks great and I can't wait to see a game there.

That was my thought as well. You never know when you are going to get snow in Minnesota. In 1991, the Twin Cities got 8 inches of snow on Halloween. So if the Twins are playing in late October and a blizzard is rolling through, they could move the game to this stadium. That would be kind of cool to see, especially in the playoffs/World Series.
Odd that no NCAA basketball/Final 4 renderings were shown. Usually that is taken into account.
I also thought that the Gophers were getting a new baseball stadium?

They were during the actual presentation. Looked like you would expect it to. Court in the center with angled seating coming down from all four sides.
It looks stunning.

The whole point of the stadium was to make it a functioning facility for a wide variety of events. I'm guessing the baseball renderings are in the event of a rain out at one stadium that it would be easy to convert this new building for said use. I would think that if there were a baseball configuration to it, there would be a basketball one too.
As for the ETFE, it will be a unique look inside and outside the stadium. Apparently, "clear" is the new "retractable."
Overall, I'm totally stoked about the design! I'm already saving up for tickets to the inaugural game in 2016.

I thought concussions were killing football.
Great looking stadium, but this old timer still believes football is to be played in the elements
Alright people that believe that we need an outdoor stadium. While football is meant to be played outdoors. It's less than optimal to watch it outdoors. Especially when it's -20 with a blizzard. It's built with the fans in mind and not the players.
I heard it was going to be $980 mil, but then they realized they didn't need a trophy room.

In the final moments of the season 3 finale of "Once Upon a Time," titled "No Place Like Home," fans were given a glimpse of a new Disney princess arriving in Storybrooke. On Monday, TV Guide discussed whether the latest arrival is likely to be the season 4 villain or not.
After accidentally going back in time where she was able to watch her parents, Snow White and Prince Charming meet and fall in love, Emma Swan realized there was no place like home and that home was in Storybrooke. She also realized that Captain Hook was the man of her dreams. Rumple and Belle had a quick but sweet wedding in the woods. Regina and Robin Hood were, however torn apart by the surprise return of Maid Marion. Emma brought her back from the past and Regina is pretty ticked off about it.
Not only did Emma bring Marion back, something else came through the portal... a vase containing a liquid that morphed into what sure did seem to be Elsa from "Frozen." We never saw her face but from the way she was dressed and the way everything she touched turned to ice, it seemed clear.
Executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz discussed Elsa's presence. The dissected what her presence could mean for Season 4 of "Once Upon a Time" and the residents of Storybrooke.
Horowitz says the character has not yet been cast and they haven't even begun to look for her yet. He went on to explain that the thing they loved about "Frozen" was how Elsa wasn't necessarily a villain but simply misunderstood. Kitsis concurs that makes for a powerful story element.
For those worried about what the executive producers will do with the beloved character, have no fear. They assure us they only want to honor the character. Horowitz said, "We truly want to honor the character that everybody has fallen in love with so quickly. When you see how our interpretation of her and what we do with her, you will see that's exactly what we're trying to do."
When asked if other characters from the movie like Anna and Olaf might appear, Horowitz said they would be "very disappointed" if only Elsa from that world appeared. He would not elaborate on who else might appear.
Regina has reason to return to dark side now. Is that what the showrunners have in mind? Kitsis said it was their intention to leave the audience wondering just that. Regina has grown so much over the series 66 episodes and what she will do now is a big question. Could she return to the role of villain for season 4? Maybe. How Emma reacts to her role in this is another great question. Emma could be eaten up with guilt like Snow White was over her role in Daniel's death.
Robin Hood will have struggles of his own, according to the showrunners. He will have to deal with his feelings for both Marion and Regina. They also promise Hook and Emma's path won't be drama-free either. They'll be facing some surprises and challenges.
Kitsis and Horowitz are taking 2 weeks off to decompress and shut off their brains. After Memorial Day, however, the work on season 4 begins. According to Kitsis, "We're trying our hardest to not think for two weeks, but when the two weeks is done and Memorial Day is done, then our first order of business will be who is Elsa."
Horowitz added that we will likely see her very early in season 4. Kitsis added it will possibly be in the premiere.
The pair managed to keep the season 3 finale and introduction of Elsa a secret by distributing scripts with an alternate ending to everyone who didn't have a need to know. Many of the cast and crew didn't find out until after the episode was wrapped, according to a report on Time.

E-Class Cabriolet
Four seats in the sun. Forefront of innovation.
Starting at: $62,250*MSRP
Tailored luxury, ripped muscle.
With a drag coefficient as low as 0.29, the E-Class Cabriolets slip through the wind virtually unnoticed. Yet their chiseled, muscular design commands attention, from their sweeping headlamps all the way to their sleek tail. A color-keyed twin-domed cover conceals the lowered soft top with seamless style.
Three layers, for four seasons.
Exquisitely crafted from three layers nearly a full inch thick, the rich fabric power soft top is designed to provide coupe-like silence in the cabin. Large windows, precise tailoring and a choice of four colors deliver sleek style with the top up. In just 20 seconds it vanishes into the trunk, leaving a generous 8.8 cu ft of cargo space.
Embracing support, elegant style.
True grand-touring convertibles, the E-Class Cabriolets extend their rich refinement to all four passengers. Soft leather in a wide array of colors is exactingly topstitched and hand-fitted to the four individually contoured seats. Hand-polished Burl Walnut, Black Ash or Linden wood trim is liberally applied throughout the cabin.
Forever in the moment, with an eye on tomorrow.
Two advanced Direct Injection engines can fine-tune their fuel and spark within a millisecond. The E400 features a 329-hp biturbo 3.0L V-6. A 402-hp 4.7L biturbo V-8 powers the E550. Quicker and cleaner, they create a torrent of torque with only a trickle of emissions. ECO Start/Stop saves fuel with automatic engine shutoff at stoplights.
Seven sporty speeds, fingertip close.
The advanced 7-speed automatic transmission is not just responsive, it's adaptive, timing its shift points to your driving style. An electronic selector and sporty shift paddles let you take charge of gearshifts without taking a hand from the steering wheel. And the available Sport Package adds a dedicated Manual mode.
Smooth as silk, with a feel for the road.
The AGILITY CONTROL® suspension on the E400 Cabriolet instantly recalibrates to the road surface, for an ideal balance of control and composure in every situation. On the E550, a sport-tuned Dynamic Handling suspension lets you alter the damping rates, accelerator response and shift points with the touch of a button.
Brakes with confidence, and added convenience.
Lift off the gas quickly and Predictive Brake Priming pre-charges the brakes for more immediate response. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically sweeps away water build-up. Hill-Start Assist helps prevent rollback on uphill starts. And a brake HOLD feature can make stop-and-go traffic more comfortable.
Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
Intelligent Drive: Virtual eyes on the road. Real action on your behalf.
Advanced stereo cameras and radar sensors enhance safety, reduce driving stress, and start an entirely new era of driver assistance technology. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS can brake to avoid a collision autonomously. ATTENTION ASSIST® can sense if you're getting drowsy. And options can even react to pedestrians, cross-traffic and more.
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver´s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system's alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely.
Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
Reaches far and wide, and brings it all home.
E-Class technology works like a natural extension of your thinking. The COMAND® system places audio, available navigation and countless features close at hand, with an elegant central controller and a vivid 7-inch display. For your listening pleasure, Bluetooth® audio streaming and a USB input are among its standard audio features.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the system's audio cues while driving and should only consult the map or visual displays once the vehicle has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all areas or all routes within an area.
Catches the breeze, cheats the wind.
The exclusive AIRCAP® system virtually eliminates drafts during top-down driving, with a wind deflector above the windshield and a mesh power screen between the rear head restraints. The available AIRSCARF® neck-level heating system provides warmed air through adjustable vents beneath each front head restraint, like a virtual scarf.

From your car, computer or smartphone, mbrace connects you and your car.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic available at U.S. flagship stores for $350
There should be no waiting involved for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic if you are living in or are near Chicago and the Nokia flagship store. Why? Because reports have been coming out regarding the availability of that certain touch-enabled S60 handset, for a price that's a lot lower than what we've come to expect.
We're told the European version of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is now available from the Chicago flagship store, with the branch in New York scheduled to get their own sale units starting today. The sad part is, these units don't have North American 3G, but at least they're going for fairy cheap — $349.99.
But although these early Nokia 5800 XpressMusic units don't have U.S. 3G, at least they come with a U.S. warranty. And the price is nearly irresistible.
The Chicago flagship store's currently got only the blue model in stock, with no word on whether they're going to stock up again on units when they finally run out or not. Take advantage of their offer now and prove that you're a real early adopter.

The tour will meet at the Mann-Simons Site at 1403 Richland St. and depart at 2 p.m.
Second Sunday Strolls and Rolls provide a guided walking or bus tour for many of the neighborhoods featured in Historic Columbia's Retrace: Connecting Communities Through History brochures. Each tour highlights part of Columbia's history through its historic neighborhoods and districts.

First the book, now the movie
Image source: Amazon.com
Different sources have confirmed that Madonna's handsome brother Christopher Ciccone's best-selling tell-all book about his sister is being turned into a film. Lilly's Talent Agency in Indianapolis confirmed to this column that they have not only submitted video auditions for the part of Madonna when she was a child, but will soon tape hopefuls who hope to play the part of the Ciccone children, Sylvio Ciccone (Madonna's father) and Joan Ciccone (Madonna's stepmother).
It is rumored that han Christopher will be the director and hopes that Lady Gaga will play the part of rising Madonna. Tina Fey will likely play the part of the older Madonna. Other likely cast members include Adam Lambert as Sean Penn and T.R. Knight as Guy Richie.Wilson Cruz has already signed on to play Carlos, the father of Madonna's daughter Lola. Other cast members will include Rupert Everett, Boy George, Nathan Lane, and Sissy Spacek.
Life With My Sister Madonna (which may not be the final title of the movie) will begin shooting in late Spring. Somehow, we don't think Madonna will want any part of this film.

(BlackDoctor.org) — Are you at risk from listeria, the deadly bacteria now in the news because of contaminated cantaloupe? The death toll is rising in what is now the largest outbreak of food-borne illness in more than a decade.
Suddenly the spotlight is on listeria. What is it? Where is it? Who's at risk? What are the symptoms? What are the best ways to avoid contamination?
What is listeria?
Like the famous mouthwash Listerine, Listeria monocytogenes was named after antiseptic pioneer Joseph Lister. It's a very common bacterium with an unusual trait: It can grow at refrigerator temperatures. And it can build up in food-processing plants, where it can survive for years.
Where is listeria found?
Listeria is found in soil, groundwater, animal feed, sewage, and even dust. It primarily lives in soil, where the bacterium eats decaying plants. But once it makes its way into the food supply and is eaten by a human, listeria transforms into a very different bug — one that can live inside human cells.
What foods are often most contaminated with listeria?
Because listeria can grow at refrigerator temperatures and high salt concentrations, cured meats kept in the refrigerator can support listeria growth. Unpasteurized milk, unpasteurized milk products, refrigerated smoked seafood, and raw sprouts have also been implicated in listeria outbreaks. But listeria can grow on many different foods, particularly if they are stored in a contaminated refrigerator. The nationwide U.S. listeria outbreak of 2011 — the largest in more than a decade — was traced to cantaloupes.
What should I do if I bought a suspect cantaloupe or other food?
All of the cantaloupes in the current listeria outbreak came from Jensen Farms, a Colorado-based company. Although some of these cantaloupes carry a distinctive sticker, not all contaminated fruit will be marked. Ask your grocer if the cantaloupe you bought is from Jensen Farms.
If you suspect that you have a contaminated cantaloupe, do not try to wash off the listeria. Griffin of the CDC notes that it's not clear whether a listeria-contaminated melon carries listeria on the inside as well as on the outside.
So dispose of suspect cantaloupe in a sealed bag, and make sure it will not be eaten by animals or other people.
If there is a recall or any suspicion that there is listeria in your food — be it lettuce, cheese, or hot dogs — throw it out. Do not try to wash the food because there is no way to ensure that the listeria is just on the surface. Listeria cannot be seen and it does not change the way the food looks, so always play it safe. Officials also ask that you wrap the food in a plastic bag before throwing it out to prevent another person or an animal from eating it.
As for all other produce, the FDA advises to wash all fruits and vegetables under running water just before eating, cutting, or cooking, even if you plan to peel the produce first. Scrub firm produce such as melons and cucumbers with a clean produce brush.
Is there anything else I should do if I've bought listeria-contaminated food?
One study found that once a listeria-contaminated food product was in a person's home, 11% of all food samples in their refrigerators also were contaminated. Nearly two-thirds of people with listeria infections turn out to have listeria growing in their refrigerators.
So clean your refrigerator if you think you may have purchased a contaminated cantaloupe. Wash the fridge thoroughly with soap and water. Then wipe it down with a diluted solution of chlorine bleach.

Micromat (www.micromat.com) has released Checkmate, a new automated diagnostic software product for the Mac. It requires Mac OS X 10.6 or higher and costs US$29.99 for a limited time; it's normally $49.99. Site licenses are also available.
Checkmate "learns" when a Mac is typically idle and only runs tests during those times, stopping any time a user returns to the keyboard. It can identify hard drive, memory and file problems before symptoms become visible to users, so that corrective measures can be taken to prevent data loss or hard drive failure, according to Micromat President Jeff Baudin.
Checkmate is designed to be unobtrusive. After it's installed, no further action is necessary from the user for the software to monitor the ongoing health of a Mac. All tests are conducted when the user is away from the computer and longer tests can pick up where they left off (incremental diagnostics), allowing for extended tests to be performed over time.
When problems are found, the program alerts the user. At that point, the user can open the Checkmate application that will give more details about the specific problem as well as suggest possible corrective measures.
Checkmate will not make any changes or take corrective action. It only reports problems it finds that need attention, and makes suggestions for how the user can correct the problem. Users can then take the necessary steps to prevent problems from becoming more serious in the future, says Baudin.

Product Description
Most Americans know that Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of "The Declaration of Independence", the most important of all our founding documents. Yet few of them have even heard of another document that is the second most important declaration he ever wrote: The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798. He drafted them secretly while he was serving as vice president. It was written in response to the hated Alien and Sedition Acts which were passed under the Adams administration during an undeclared war with France.
In those resolutions, Thomas Jefferson told us quite directly, that Nullification is our "rightful remedy."
Jazz up your ordinary T-shirt collection with our sexy rendition of the classic ringer. Contrasting neck and sleeve bands with a contoured cut that flatters a woman's curves. Very Fitted. Size up for a semi-fitted look.

STANFORD, Calif. – No. 17/14 Stanford showcased its ability to generate runs in a variety of ways Sunday, stealing five bases and recording 14 hits to defeat Pacific, 11-9.
Erin Ashby paced the Cardinal (11-0) offensively in the final game of the Stanford Nike Invitational, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and scored four runs. The junior was a triple shy of a cycle and was one of four Cardinal to combine for five stolen bases.
Ashby finished the weekend 5-for-15 with six RBI, two doubles, a home run and a team-high 10 total bases.
Hanna Winter, Leah White, Bessie Noll and Tylyn Wells also recorded multi-hit games to help fuel a healthy Cardinal offense that has outhit opponents 111-43 this season. White matched Ashby with a team-high three RBI and a stolen base.
Wells stole two bases and Winter snagged her sixth bag of the season. Four of the five bases stolen by the Cardinal turned into runs scored.
Madi Schreyer (8-0) made her third consecutive start and went all 7.0 innings, striking out six and allowing four earned runs on nine hits and four walks.
Coming off a dominating performance last weekend at the Kajikawa Classic, the Cardinal continued its momentum during its first home weekend, outscoring opponents 34-16 to stretch its season-advantage to 94-22.
Schreyer had a terrific weekend in the circle, picking up four wins and holding a 1.59 ERA. She accumulated 20 strikeouts, allowed one extra-base hit and held opponents to a .164 batting average in 28.1 innings of work.
Freshmen Kylie Sorenson and Noll continued to shine at the plate, hitting .455 and .417 on the weekend, respectively. Sorenson went 5-for-11 with six RBI and notched a team-high five walks. Noll hit 5-for-12 with three RBI and scored three runs.
After allowing a Pacific (2-4) run in the top of the first, Stanford responded with a run in the bottom half of the inning and two runs in the second.
Stanford posted three more runs in the fourth inning to take a commanding 6-1 lead. However, Pacific batted through its lineup in the top of the fifth and added four runs to close the gap to one score.
The Cardinal plated two runs in the fifth and three in the sixth to extend its lead to 11-5.
The Tigers made it interesting in the seventh, again batting through its lineup to score four runs. With two outs and runners on first and third, Schreyer got Pacific's Megan Foglesong to ground out to Sorenson at shortstop to end the game.
Stanford will play a midweek game at UC Davis on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. before heading to the Mary Nutter Classic in Cathedral City, Calif., next weekend. The Cardinal will take on a challenging slate at the tournament, including Maryland, No. 16 Baylor, No. 21 LSU, Syracuse, and No. 1 Tennessee.

Not to begin this article with "Anyone with half a brain..." as that would more or less describe the author rather than anyone I might be alluding to. But it is timely to note that an important conference is coming up on 13 May in D.C. addressing the prolonged political crisis in Thailand which is, by the way, the direct result of the country not ever doing what now everyone in the kingdom seems bent on talking about - reform.
Widely held to be THE best think tank going, the Center for Strategic and International Studies is finally getting around to discussing a country the State Department has called, in obviously gross error, a "vibrant democracy," Thailand. Ever since its historic 1932 so-called switch from absolute monarchy to so-called constitutional monarchy, the kingdom has fallen into the throes of acrimony, corruption, back-slapping friendlies with Uncle Sam about how mutually democratic the pair is…you get the idea.
7 May 2014 the Thai Constitutional Court is set to rule whether the current Thai prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, her brother an avowed enemy of ultra-royalists and former premier who is wanted on corruption charges, will be forced out of office or not. The ultimate goal of her opponents, cultural and royalist conservatives who have robbed the country of elections by chaining off voting polls and blocking voters from entering polling stations, is to have the entire Thai government dismissed and banned from reentering politics for five years.
The main tool to accomplish justice in Thailand these days is being blasted through piercing whistles, symbols of the PDRC (People's Democratic Reform Committee) and steady buzzing of its crowds still gathered in Bangkok (many of whom were imported from the Muslim southern region, which is definitely pro-reform, and given all Thai governments' unjust treatment in the south, with good reason). But the main issue is whether or not Thailand will face a more positive future, or decidedly more negative one fraught with promises of violence and instability, once the court rules.
Thai courts are generally seen as independent, but their rulings have historically sided with conservative cultural and absolute royalist sentiments. Given this proclivity, fears for Yingluck's incumbency are justified. If anyone is really interested in whether a key US ally in a vital region of SE Asia will keep parting ways with common sense or recover its senses (phrased as some see this potential tragedy), the Center for Strategic and International Studies will address these issues on 13 May 2014 here in Washington. Please contact the Center for registering. Please RSVP here before Monday, May 12, 2014. Please contact email@example.com if you experience technical difficulties. Tuesday, May 13, 2014; 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.; CSIS 2nd Floor Conference Room; 1616 Rhode Island Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.

ONE football fan has turned his entire Bicester home into a giant shrine to an England World Cup victory.
Father-of-two Gordon Clare, 50, started off with just two St George's flags in the window, but his patriotic decorations have spiralled.
Now his entire Bure Park house, his fence and even his garage door are covered in England flags, shirts, balloons and scarves.
"I will be the biggest plonker on Bure Park if they don't go through, so they need to win for Queen, country and my reputation," said Mr Clare.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss got her wish this weekend, as she got to marry her long-time boyfriend, Todd Tucker. She has been defending him for the past couple of years, as everyone around her believed that he was an opportunist. However, Kandi stuck by her man and he stuck by her, and this weekend they decided to get married. And Kandi's mother was at the wedding, even though she had been less than supportive. According to a new report published on April 6, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss got married this weekend and her mother attended the wedding.
She even held a beautiful toast for her daughter and her new husband, Todd Tucker. Of course, these two have butted heads for quite some time, and their drama isn't over on the show. Despite getting married this weekend, Sunday's episode of the show reveals that Todd and Kandi's mother was still butting heads before the wedding. During the episode, Joyce saying she never stopped liking Todd, she just stopped respecting him.
However, Kandi's mother was at the wedding. "Last night was the best night of my life!" Kandi tweeted after reports surfaced that she was getting married on friday. Joyce even gave a speech for the couple. Before the wedding, she told JET Magazine, "I pray that I am wrong. If they are married and it lasts I will be the first to apologize." What do you think?

TC TO JOSEPH NEUBERG; 29 November 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18541129-TC-JN-01; CL 29: 209
Chelsea, 29 Novr, 1854—
Dear Neuberg,—I am very sorry I disappointed you yesterday: you would hear, it was not quite my blame, nor Tait's either,—but proceeded from the "dampness of the weather"!—
The delay at the Foreign Office I conjecture to proceed from a whim they have (or seem to me to have) of never sending any Order, or written Document, except by a Messenger of their own;—for the like of whom Willesdon would be a long way off! I think if the thing have not come today, it might perhaps be well to address a Note to Lord Clarendon's secretary ("E. Hamond Esq &c &c Foreign Office") requesting modestly that the thing, which you have understood is granted, might be sent,—if not by post to Willesden, then by messenger to (John Chapman's, or some other Town place)?— Or perhaps it is better to wait still farther a day or two.
I have got a cold,—very ill and miserable, of its kind:—we shall be at home tomorrow.
I find I owe you for this last Cargo of Books £3. 1. 9: if that is the right computation, I ought at least to pay that directly!
Yours ever truly /

Why Men and Women Can't Be &Just Friends& Is the idea of a pure, platonic relationship between non-related, heterosexual men and women a myth?
For the most part, it would seem the answer is "yes" and the reason is deeply rooted in the evolutionary soil of our species. Thanks to the writings of John Gray, many of us now know some of the "Mars/Venus" generalizations such as men typically use language as a tool for solving problems while women use it as a way to promote intimacy. Indeed, while other gender stereotypes might be valid, such as it's easier for women to define intimate relationships with men as non-sexual than vice-versa, individual differences among people will always provide exceptional cases. Thus, some women might have a more "masculine" approach to heterosexual friendship than average and some men might relate to friends in a more stereotypically "feminine" manner than most. The reasons for these phenomena are inextricably linked to our species' evolution. A Day in the Life of a Mental Hospital Patient.

Every time we fall in love, fight with our spouse, get upset about the influx of immigrants into our country, or go to church, we are, in part, behaving as a human animal with our own unique evolved nature—human nature. This means two things. First, our thoughts, feelings, and behavior are produced not only by our individual experiences and environment in our own lifetime but also by what happened to our ancestors millions of years ago.
Second, our thoughts, feelings, and behavior are shared, to a large extent, by all men or women, despite seemingly large cultural differences. How the Brain Stops Time.

I already own a Micro Heat Cap buuuuutt...
The one that I have, need the gel packs replaced and with the company no longer operating the chances of that are slim. I've considered replacing my Micro Heat Cap with the Hair Therapy Wrap found on Curl Mart, and still may.
I often wondered what the difference was between a heat cap/wrap and a steamer, so I set out to try and find an answer. It's been said that the steamer gives intense moisture & deep conditioning, leaving the hair soft and manageable. Some have chosen to use both a heat cap & a steamer. A heat cap for things such as protein treatments, then following up with a steamer for deep conditioning. One comparison is like the difference between using an iron on dry press versus steam press. Another comparison is an oven verses a tea kettle.
There is also the cost factor. A heat cap can cost around $20-$45. A steamer can cost you $70 plus.
|The Huetiful Hair Steamer - $114.95
Here's what you'll need:
2 face cloths
A bowl full of hot water (not boiling)
1 plastic cap & 1 plastic bag (you can also use 2 caps or 2 bags instead of 1 of each)
A hooded/bonnet dryer
- Prepare your hair first by washing and applying the conditioner or hair treatment.
- Soak both face cloths in the hot water.
- Wring some of the water out of the first face cloth (the cloth should be wet but not soaking)
- Place the first cloth over your hair and immediately cover with one of the plastic caps/bags
- Wring the second face cloth and apply this over the plastic cap/bag already on your head and immediately apply the second plastic bag/cap.
- If you used a plastic bag as your second, ensure that it is tied securely around the hairline to prevent water dripping down your neck.
- Steam for approximately 15 to 20 minutes
Note: Both bags and/or caps should be spacious enough to allow the steam to form.

8 months!
This one melts my heart. I so wish I could have gotten this one. I am thinking about talking Anton into it. Look at our lil cowboy. He is wearing his hat that he got from his first time to the state fair.
Peter rabbit. A classic. He is wearing a peter rabbit pj's and of course chewing on a peter rabbit book. Don't take the book away cause he will get real upset with you.
I just love the montages they put together. I just wish they weren't so expensive.
Oh this one is so cute as well.
Look at that big old crocidile tear. It made mommie feel horrible for taking away his book.
Look at those big blue eyes. They are starting to look a bit hazel maybe. I am not sure what you call it. I have even heard people call his eyes green. They can look green at a distance depending on the outfit.
The perfect example of why you do not take a book away from my son. I am not sure why he is so attached to books, but he loves them.
I got this one. It may not look as cool as it does in black in white, but oh it is still heart grabbing. (Black and white is 11 dollars more a sheet. Come on people it doesn't really cost more for you to print it in black and white does it. No!)
Mmmm rope!
Two dudes trying to get into trouble.
My grampa rox!
Off course he had to get some cowboy pix with his grampa Brown. They are sure buds. I am going to try to get his pix with his other grands at his 10 month pix.

Do you actually hang all these pics on the wall? Is there a Hunter shrine in your house? Just kidding. They are really cute pictures!

Thank you. I love showing off my cute baby. I am excited to see pictures of your new teddy bear.
I don't get to buy all of them. I buy 2 or 3. I then scan them and the ones I don't give a way stay in an envelope until I can get a frame for them(which will probably 18 years from now.lol). I have a couple of frames. I layer them with pictures and rotate them out. My goodness frames are expensive. Now Diana does have a Hunter shrine. Her whole china cabinet top is covered in Hunter goodness.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a Hunter shrine. I think everyone should! And, I can't wait to add some of these pictures to it. As always, they are just wonderful. Thank you so much for having a picture of him n the Peter Rabbit sleeper. So precious. Hugs!!!

Twitter caught fire last night when popular and reputable website Eleven Warriors reported they have multiple sources confirming Urban Meyer has agreed to a deal to coach at Ohio State. While other sites such as CBS Sports, the Bleacher Report and Scout.com all had articles similar in nature, Eleven Warrior's is the only one still up.
Now it's important to note that all Eleven Warriors said was they were 99.7% certain Meyer agreed to be the next coach. Today, they had an article detailing what they know so far, which is Urban and Ohio State share a mutual interest in each other, an agreement has been made in principal though no contract has been formally signed and neither party thinks the NCAA's determination on Ohio State will prevent Meyer from becoming Ohio State's next head coach.
Essentially, we are close to the inevitable but nothing is official yet.
Urban was going to be on a short list of coaches Ohio State was going to target. Chances are they didn't want to do a long drawn out process for several reasons. For one, they want the new program to begin after the season and to have all the pieces in place. It's almost certain the majority of Ohio State's current coaching staff won't return which means the new staff will need all the time they can to get their foundation in place. Two, they want to make this process quick for the players and to get the staff on the recruiting trail immediately, all of which could be accomplished if Ohio State signs a new coach after the regular season.
There are many objections with the Eleven Warriors announcement, the main one coming from Ohio State.
Now, this could be just a play by them to deny it until they announce it. It would seem in poor taste to Luke Fickell and the current team and coaching staff to announce Urban as the head coach with two games remaining.
Of course, it could also mean there isn't an agreement in place.
Florida writer Pat Dooley reported on twitter he asked Meyer whether there was any weight to the rumors. Urban responded by saying there was no truth to the rumors. So the carousel continues.
Another factor to consider is the pending NCAA ruling, which could factor heavily into Ohio State's future.
Even with the worst case ruling which would now equate to a post-season ban for probably a year, it wouldn't do much to affect the long-term plans. While a stern punishment from the NCAA may deter a few recruits from signing with Ohio State, it's probable it wouldn't be a deal breaker for the future coach.
So let's cut to the chase; will Urban be the next coach at Ohio State?
Yes. Meyer wants to get back into coaching. Ohio State is one of the few elite jobs to become available recently. It's the perfect marriage. Urban will create a coaching staff that will bring the Buckeyes back to the top of the college football ladder.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or comment and follow me on twitter for Ohio State news and updates.

Brees and the Saints face the New York Giants in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday. BY SHELDON MICKLES| Advocate sportswriter Comments What we learned It's not hard to figure out that the Saints aren't going to win a lot of games — if any — when Drew Brees has a passer rating of 37.6. Even though he finished with 341 yards, they were offset by his career-high five interceptions. Trending now Brees has thrown seven picks in his last two games, which is two more than he had in the previous eight games combined. He now has a total of 16 for the season — just six shy of the career-high 22 he threw in 2010. Final thoughts With their playoff hopes all but gone and in the middle of their toughest three-game stretch of the season, the Saints will have to regroup quickly and win their final four games to post a winning record for the fourth season in a row.

The only surprises handed out during Sunday's Oscars ceremony were impromptu slices of pizza, but host Ellen DeGeneres and her off-the-cuff approach to Hollywood's crowning glory likely caught analysts off guard by drawing the largest audience for any entertainment telecast in nearly a decade. The 3.5 hour production garnered 43 million viewers, up 6 percent from 40.4 million last year and marking the award show's third straight year of ratings growth. Numbers in the key 18-49 demographic remained steady, dipping slightly to a 12.9 rating from 13.0 in 2013, but the overall audience was the show's largest since 2004 and the most-watched non-sports event since the "Friends" finale that same year.
Nielsen numbers aside, DeGeneres offered a more modern contribution to last night's Oscars success by utilizing the power of social media. Her improvised, mid-show selfie with a throng of celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, among others, shattered Twitter's retweet record within minutes. The previous champion was President Obama's "Four more years" blurb, which currently boasts more than 700,000 retweets since 2012. Comparatively, DeGeneres and her posse have already tripled that amount in less than 24 hours and the snapshot's instant popularity caused Twitter's servers to crash temporarily upon its posting.
Other noteworthy moments from the telecast include moving speeches from winners Lupita Nyong'o (Best Supporting Actress, "12 Years a Slave") and Jared Leto (Best Supporting Actor, "Dallas Buyers Club"), the latter of whom managed to squeeze in a heartfelt political quip without causing a firestorm of backlash. Nyongo's triumph completes a remarkable fairy tale of virtually overnight success for the newcomer, whose turn as Patsey in Steve McQueen's Best Picture winner has launched her onto the Hollywood A-list and cemented her status as a fashion icon.
Of course, the evening wouldn't be complete without at least one major snafu, and this year the award goes to John Travolta for his astounding bungle of Broadway legend Idina Menzel's name. The actor was on stage to introduce Menzel's performance of Oscar-winning song "Let It Go" from Best Animated Feature "Frozen," and instead of announcing the Tony winner's playbill-topping moniker, he mumbled what's since been decoded as "Adele Dazeem." The explosion of memes, GIFs and fictitious Twitter accounts to commemorate the gaffe quickly ensued, and indicates yet another example of social media's exponential influence on pop culture phenomena.
The traditional method of measuring ratings success still holds water for Hollywood executives counting on concrete numbers to determine their audiences, and today's Oscar stats do uphold that convention to a certain extent. However, DeGeneres' shrewd manipulation of the current digital landscape illustrates an increasingly necessary understanding of media digestion and distribution required to achieve success in today's public sphere. The most popular news stories surrounding this year's Oscars, for better or for worse, are hardly focused on the awards themselves. Instead, priority has shifted toward capturing the spontaneous moments most easily regurgitated on one's Facebook feed or Tumblr page. Victories for Academy Award winners Cate Blanchett (Best Actress, "Blue Jasmine"), Matthew McConaughey (Best Actor, "Dallas Buyers Club"), Alfonso Cuarón (Best Director, "Gravity") and their peers have already taken a backseat to our fascination surrounding which of them nabbed some of Ellen's pizza. Let's hope Travolta saved Adele Dazeem a slice.
