Outdoor Pop-Up Pavilion Looks Like A Larger-Than-Life Beehive [Pics]
Student designers turn to Mother Nature to create a unique and functional structure.
Students at the School of Architecture Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany, looked to the natural world when it came to designing a functional outdoor structure. The Bowooss is a pop-up pavilion that is covered in large holes and the perforated design resembles an oval-shaped beehive or a bug's shell.
The Bowooss allows natural light to stream in from every angle, and is not only lightweight, but durable. The unique structure is being tested on campus for students to relax in, and even had swinging hammocks up inside.

I'm having a time figuring this out, maybe someone can help me with it.
I installed this WordPress theme: http://www.woothemes.com/2010/06/themorningafter/
and am trying to change the header link titles (under the search bar). There's no option to do this, so I was looking at the CSS and PHP files to see if I could do it that way, but I can't seem to find out what needs to be changed. I found a section of code with the links array that I changed, but that just made them disappear from the website. Anyone know why that might be ?
here's what I'm dealing with: http://www.addictedtonoise.net/wptest/
For more reference, this person was able to change his: http://youbeautifulbastard.be/
but viewing the source code for his page and mine, it doesn't seem that different. His titles under the search bar are changed somewhere in the php files, not in the WordPress options. You can see the options for the header links here: http://ourthemes.blog.com/wp-content/bl ... inks_0.jpg
You can only put in a url or text. Injecting HTML wrecks the entire structure, which is how I know he had his titles changed in the php files somewhere.
If I'm missing any information someone needs to help out, just ask.

#22553 closed New feature (fixed)
Add ability to refresh queryset
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Triage Stage:
|Ready for checkin
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
I propose adding a Queryset method '.refresh()' which will clear the built-in cache on any queryset passed to it.
I suggest an initial implementation of:
def refresh(self, *args, **kwargs): """ Returns a new QuerySet instance with the args ANDed to the existing set. """ self._result_cache = None return self
Reason this is requested:
When I'm using modelformsets I typically find the need to refresh the queryset that is used by the ModelFormset.
To do this I perform the following action:
updated_formset = ConciergeUserPoolFormset(request.POST) if updated_formset.is_valid(): updated_formset.save() queryset = updated_formset.get_queryset() # we need an updated queryset, not the cached version. set the results cache to None to force re-fetch queryset._result_cache = None updated_formset = ConciergeUserPoolFormset(queryset=queryset)
This is not an obvious solution to the issue of updating a ModelFormset or forcing a queryset update in general, it also uses a private method of the Queryset object which I would prefer to avoid.

Maybe _clone() already does what you need.

- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
I guess we probably don't want to document an underscore method. I wonder if there is any reason not to rename it (with deprecation) to clone() or something similar?
comment:3 Changed 2 years ago by akaariai
- Component changed from Database layer (models, ORM) to Documentation
- Easy pickings set
.all() can be used for this. Seems like this isn't documented, so lets do that. The right place seems to be https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#django.db.models.query.QuerySet.all.
comment:4 Changed 2 years ago by nikisweeting@…
I'd be happy to write a little blurb in the docs showing how to use .all() for refreshing a QuerySet. I'm new to contributing to here though, how do I go about submitting my proposed documentation amendment?

Legalizing marijuana: the wrong direction
A majority of voters in Colorado and in Washington state think marijuana use should be legalized even though in direct conflict with federal law. If this happens, the public health and safety consequences would be disastrous.
Fewer than 7 percent of all Americans smoke marijuana; the vast majority are between the ages of 17 and 26, with peak use at 19. Teens are not just a side casualty; they are the targets of drug dealers. The propositions legalized use over 21 years of age, so the cartels will continue to compete for the largest market – teenagers. Violence and intimidation in Mexico and the U.S. will continue. States with "medical marijuana" have treatment admission rates twice as high as states without it.
Marijuana is prohibited in the workplace by most employers, not just those in safety-sensitive industries. Marijuana impairs motor coordination, reaction time, attentiveness, and leads to twice as many motor vehicle accidents as nonusers. Teenagers are disproportionately adversely affected by marijuana. Studies show a correlation between early marijuana use and significant declines in IQ levels in later life.
Unlike medicines approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration, marijuana is not accepted for use by the FDA, the U.N., the American Cancer Society, the National Institute on Drug Abuse or the World Health Organization. Marijuana has 60 percent more cancer-causing agents than tobacco cigarettes. Who says smoking is good for your health? Why would we encourage such serious hazards to health and safety?
Proponents of legalization claim this would empty our prisons. Yet fewer than 0.3 percent of all inmates in state prisons are there for the use or possession of marijuana and fewer than 2.5 percent for any offense involving marijuana, including trafficking and financing.
Former Mexican President Felipe Calderón called on the U.S. to stop recent state initiatives to legalize marijuana. Raymond Yans, president of the U.N. International Narcotics Control Board, issued a statement expressing grave concern about recent legalization propositions in the United States and said "these developments are in violation of international drug control treaties and pose a great threat to public health and the well-being of society far beyond those states."
The U.S. Department of Justice should reiterate its position that it will enforce the Controlled Substances Act regardless of state laws and declare this initiative on legalization dead on arrival. But it is more than an issue of laws. It is about the health and welfare of our citizens, our children. It will take a tremendous toll on performance at school, at work and within families. Legalization means much greater use and greater dependency, addiction, treatment costs, accidents and lower productivity and poor attendance at schools and at work. Crime and police time will increase, not decrease, because of sales to minors, school incidents, highway accidents with much higher health care costs and insurance rates. Do you want your dentist or surgeon high on pot? How about a kid coming at you on a two-lane road with a closing velocity of 120 mph?
Latin American leaders are dismayed with the problem our drug appetites have caused them. They are tired of carrying the load of supply reduction themselves – with good reason. We need to reduce demand through drug-free schools, communities and workplaces. Drug testing by employers and in the military has driven down demand dramatically. This can also work in our schools with required testing for privileges like driving and participation in sports. The technology for tests has evolved so testing shows use through the last 90 days. With this kind of testing there is a near certainty of getting caught. Kids will figure out drug use is not worth the risk, and not "cool" – just stupid.
Since our drug appetites cause the problem, we must show Latin leaders that we are serious in carrying out our part of the solution – reducing demand and enforcing the law. Then they will do what they can to reduce supply and to crack down on the cartels – which also traffic in unauthorized immigrants, stolen vehicles, kidnapping, protection, extortion, terrorists and weapons.
No one gains from legalization of marijuana north or south of the border, except the drug dealers.

The story so far
tl;dr: hackers drop 0day on medical device company hoping to profit by shorting their stock
MedSec is a bunch of cybersecurity researchers (white-hat hackers) who have been investigating medical devices. In theory, their primary business is to sell their services to medical device companies, to help companies secure their devices. Their CEO is Justine Bone, a long-time white-hat hacker. Despite Muddy Waters garbling the research, there's no reason to doubt that there's quality research underlying all this.
Muddy Waters is an investment company known for investigating companies, finding problems like accounting fraud, and profiting by shorting the stock of misbehaving companies.
Apparently, MedSec did a survey of many pacemaker manufacturers, chose the one with the most cybersecurity problems, and went to Muddy Waters with their findings, asking for a share of the profits Muddy Waters got from shorting the stock.
Muddy Waters published their findings in [1] above. St Jude published their response in [2] above. They are both highly dishonest. I point that out because people want to discuss the ethics of using 0day to short stock when we should talk about the ethics of lying.

Hello everyone,
I already managed, on my child theme, to override a few functions such as discover_of_style and discover_of_register_js to modify the nav menu, as well as the options corresponding of the color choice.
Now I would like to remove the functions discover_head_css to set up my own style without letting the admin having a choice but I can't figure out why my function is not working.
My current function is:
// remove the custom head css
function remove_discover_head_css() {
add_action ('wp-head','remove_discover_head_css');
Some help would be much appropriate :)

Hi all!
I got out of my dark ages right at the end of the 9V era, and I was able to collect quite a few of curved tracks, some straight tracks, but none of the 9V switching points . Since the RC counterpart 7895 is still available, I thought I could apply the tinned copper foil and use those instead. I found the 1/4" 3M self-adhesive tinned Cu tape and applied it to all the tracks, with good results. However, I soon realized that I need to make additional connections between two segments. I was going to upload the picture here to show the segments in question, but I wasn't able to do it (I'm new ). I know that people have successfully done this with 7996, so I was hoping someone would share their experience here.
Update, here is the photo, with two pairs of segments joined by lines in different color. Does someone have a neat solution that will not be very visible?

fantastic so far. Queen-sized headboard. It was easy to install and the material so far has maintained it's initial quality characteristics ... still "like new." No "cons" as of yet. The only thing I'm worried about are the brass tacks falling off, but so far I don't even see any loose ones.
Practical with some challenges. Over all I am please with the cabinet. I use it in a small space between garage and the kitchen. It fits great and takes many shoes! It would be good to know some information before buying it. The cabinet is made of pressed wood therefore is very heavy. It comes in 24 pieces with only 6 plastic parts. You have to be able to move and lift considerable weight. It also has numerous screws nails and other small parts. The booklet with directions contains only pictures / diagrams. There are no written directions at all. It works for the visual person, but you have to be familiar with putting furniture together and using tools. Very easy to miss some small number next to the letter, then you have to undue the part. Some screws are made of very soft material and can be used only once. [...]. For example, the back panel is folded the color side in, so it looks like reinforcement of the box and not a part. The back panel is shorter then the height of the cabinet and there is no picture or words with directions to how to line it up.
This product fit exactly where I needed. We take our shoes off at the front door. This shoe storage allows for a quick, easy, and nice looking storage solution. Now I don't have a mess of various shoes cluttering up my foyer. This shoe storage unit fit very nicely where I needed. Thank you!
beautiful! fantastic table at excellent price. the slate is beautiful. it sits on my front patio. it's sturdy and it was pretty easy to put together. only two small complaints...chairs don't come with seat cushions and they're tough to find (though i did find some that fit nicely)...and the metal rim around the table top sticks up a bit and can be uncomfortable if leaning arms on table. otherwise, we love it!
Great Deal!!!! Be careful this piece is heavy. Need a wrench and elbow grease for assembly. It looks great in my apartment and I am on the hunt for seat cushions. An overall great deal!! Enjoy!!!
Exactly right for my small porch. For my small porch, this set is perfect. I love the slate top, it's easy to clean, doesn't show the dirt if I don't clean it often. I'm very pleased. I may make cushions for the chairs that would coordinate with the table.
Looks great in my kitchen. I wanted to downsize my kitchen table from a large table to something that seated two. This works great for me and my daughter. You can't have a lot of food on it, just dinner plates and a center piece. But it doesn't collect all the junk that the larger table collected. Very easy to put together. I'm a single mom and did it all by myself with a pair of plyers. Socket set would work best.
Great product for the price. I use this table in my specialty bake shop. I love the fact that it's small but I do wish it were sturdier.
slate top table set w two chairs. no comment
fits perfect in my master bedroom. looks much better in person..can easily match the table top colors for my master bathroom counter[...] over all I love it and would purchase more form this store!!!!
I would buy again. Used these tables in an ice cream store. Look very nice.
Good Product. I use this product for bathroom toiletries.
Very Good Buy. Attractive addition to our living room. Great stand for our new HD TV. Good buy.
Outstanding!!! This stand supports all of my audio-visual equipment and was easy to assemble.
"I Love This TV Stand". I purchased this stand for my bedroom. I needed a stand that would not take up much space and look good while doing so. This TV stand fits the bill. The picture of the stand on the website appears to have more of a reddish cherry tone to the wood, and my unit had more of a brown mahogany tone. I still love it.
pretty much as seen. product is great but the tile color depicted is not true. It is a very dark slate, not the pretty earth tone shown in the picture. Pity as that was what made me choose it! Still a nice addition to my dining room corner

The Wii is officially more than just a gaming sensation.
Nintendo's latest console has captured the hearts, minds and dollars of not
only gaming fans, but also the elderly, vacationers, the health-conscious
and other casual markets.
Despite being released a year later than Microsoft's current
generation console offering, the Nintendo Wii has surpassed the Xbox 360 in
total worldwide hardware sales, according to the latest data from VGchartz.com.
By the week ending August 23, VGchartz gathered that
Nintendo had sold 10.57 million Wii consoles over lifetime, while Microsoft
sold 10.51 million Xbox 360 consoles. In order to eclipse the Xbox 360 in less
than a year since release, the Wii had outsold Microsoft's game system by a
margin of 2.3-to-1 worldwide.
A key factor in Wii's quick pace in catching the Xbox 360
the acceptance of
Nintendo's console in Japan. The Wii sold 3.46 million units in Japan,
while the Xbox 360 sold only 0.43 million in the same region.
While typical sales numbers from the game companies relate
to shipments to retailers rather than sold-to-consumers, VGchartz claims that
it tracks its data based on actual consumer sell-through figures.
The popularity of the Wii, along with the DS handheld, have
helped Nintendo rocket past its competitors. The Wii was outselling the PS3 by
a margin of 6-to-1
in June, helping Nintendo overtake Sony in
market value. In fact, Nintendo's recent success has put it ahead of both
NTT and Honda, making it the fifth largest company

18 of 30 - Will the REAL Church Please Stand Up - Billy Crone
Hear ye, hear ye! Read all about it! Millions of people right now are suffering from traumatic brain injury and dont even know it. A new epidemic is sweeping the nation thats causing untold numbers to completely forget who they are. So just who are these people? Believe it or not, its the American Church. Why? Because we say we know who we are as the Church, but half the time with our lips and lives, we're acting like weve forgotten who we are. We're suffering from practical amnesia. And this is not only detrimental in our walk with Christ. It keeps others from believing in Christ. Therefore, this series, Will the REAL Church Please Stand Up? seeks to remind Christians of their God-given identity in Christ. We are the Body of Christ, a Body of Brides, a Body of One, a Body of Hope, a Body of Joy, a Body of Love, a Body of Peace, a Body of Strangers, a Body of Disciples, a Body of Servants, a Body of Rebels, a Body of Worshippers, a Body of Warriors, a Body of Witnesses, and a Body of Winners. People the facts are this. If our country is ever going to survive the evil days that lie ahead, we've got to understand that we dont need revival in America, we need revival in the American Church! Therefore, Will the REAL Church Please Stand Up? before its too late!

American warriors deployed to Afghanistan do some of the world's toughest jobs, all while apart from their families.
While many of us take a good night's sleep for granted, getting some shut-eye is low on the priority list of the many men and women in uniform responsible for fighting a war. Some of their days are filled with early morning missions, long afternoons, and dangerous night raids.
That's why the USO's seven Afghanistan centers are so critical. Not only do these places of refuge – run by selfless USO staff and volunteers – offer tools to help troops connect with and feel the comforts of home, they also offer something one can almost never find in a dangerous war zone: peace and quiet.
The Pat Tillman Memorial USO at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan posted the following images on Facebook of brave U.S. troops taking some well-deserved naps:
The USO thanks all our men and women in uniform serving with so much bravery and selflessness around the world. Because of the sacrifices they are making around the clock, Americans on the home front can get a good night's sleep in peace. - Tom Sileo, USO Director of Story Development

December 9 & 10, 2015 -- 9:00AM to 4:00PM both days
The Active Learning Institute (ALI) helps you develop and implement evidence-based teaching strategies in your courses that will engage students, deepen their learning and make your teaching more efficient, effective and enjoyable.
By the end of the ALI, participants will be able to:
• Apply the basic principles of backwards design in course preparation
• Determine which active learning strategies are useful for student learning goals
• Identify tools that can be used to support active learning
• Describe basic cognitive science principles and their relationship to learning
• Access appropriate college resources to support teaching and course design
Active Learning principles are shared with a companion program, the Librarians Active Learning Institute at Dartmouth
Application and Selection
Anyone holding a faculty teaching appointment at Dartmouth at any rank (Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Tuck and Geisel) is eligible to apply. Participants will receive a $500 stipend for full participation in the two-day institute.
To apply for the institute, please complete the online application by October 31, 2015.
The ALI planning committee reads every application and selects a cohort of participants based on the following criteria:
• Congruence between your goals and ALI program goals.
• Desire to form a cohort that can learn from and with each other.
Those applicants accepted into this year's institute will be notified by November 7, 2015.
Questions about ALI? Contact email@example.com
What previous ALI attendees have said:
"ALI is a phenomenal asset to this college. I not only learned valuable practical content, but I also find myself sharing these ideas with my colleagues in informal discussions. It's rare to have a two-day workshop have such a strong positive impact."
"All in all, the Institute ranks among my most productive professional education experiences."
"I do not think I could overstate how much the experience, authority, authenticity, intelligence, commitment, and enthusiasm of the facilitators and other participants defined my ALI experience. They helped me see how these techniques could be used and gave me the sense that it would be OK to try using them."
"The ALI was a transformative experience for me. With no formal training in teaching methodology, the most useful component was overall, big picture, course design."
"Great program! I wish it had been available when I started teaching."

Gerald Robotnik (Sonic X)
this wiki
|This character exists primarily or exclusively within the Sonic X continuity.
Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
The countdown marking my final revenge on this world has begun! In a few minutes, you will be destroyed! Soon, Space Colony ARK will hurtle through the atmosphere and crash into this world with cataclysmic force!
— Gerald Robotnik, "Showdown in Space"
Professor Gerald Robotnik (プロフェッサー・ジェラルド・ロボトニック Purofessā Jerarudo Robotonikku?) is a character in the anime series Sonic X. He is the grandfather of Dr. Eggman's and Maria Robotnik. He is a world-renowned scientist who experiments with unique discoveries mainly at Space Colony ARK.
Many years ago, Gerald created Space Colony ARK, trying to develop the Ultimate Life Form. After the Biolizard, he finally created the Ultimate Life Form, Shadow the Hedgehog. However, Maria died trying to protect Shadow from GUN (although in the dub, they took her away.), because the military feared Gerald would use it to take over the world. Gerald was then imprisoned at Prison Island, taking on a new purpose: get revenge. He was able to compel Shadow into getting revenge on Earth. He was found out and executed, but not before creating a video revealing his plan when all seven Chaos Emeralds were put into the Eclipse Cannon.
Space Colony ARK
Space Colony ARK was the creation a lab of Robotnik before GUN came and killed Maria. It was then sealed off.
The Eclipse Cannon
The Eclipse Cannon is a weapon on Space Colony ARK with enough firepower to destroy an entire planet. It needed the seven Chaos Emeralds to power it, although it was demonstrated that with six Chaos Emeralds, it can destroy half of the Moon. It is unclear why Robotnik created it, though.
Bio Lizard
The Bio Lizard was one of Robotnik's prototypes of Project Shadow. It needed a life support system, so it was no use to Robotnik and he sealed it away at the core of the Eclipse Cannon.
Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow is Robotnik's most successful creation, although it is unclear how he was created. Shadow could go as fast as Sonic, teleport using Chaos Control with just one Chaos Emerald and transform into Super Shadow.
- Gerald's diary entry and ultimately, his motivations, were different in comparison to the games. When he was escorted to the Union Army Prison, he wondered who could possibly believe that someone arrested him. He also implies in his rants in his diary that he was the creator of the "pseudo-perpetual mobile Chaos Drives." He also wonders if his arrest had anything to do with a conspiracy by GUN to take over the Eclipse Cannon and Artificial Chaos, and mentions that Project Shadow is the only thing in his mind, and that he won't stand for such immorality. The diary omits any references to Maria's death or the fact that her death drove him insane. It also contained two cases of swearing in the diary ("Oh, hell" when he discovers that he was going to be locked up in the Union Army Prison and "for christ's sake" when expressing his distaste at being locked up and citing his being the father of the pseudo-perpetual mobile Chaos Drives), a rarity at the time.

Portland symposium highlights climate changeUPDATED 8:24 PM EDT Jul 31, 2013
How might Maine's coastal industries change over the next century? That question and others are being discussed in Portland this week at a two-day-long symposium on the effects and responses to climate change. WMTW News 8's Paul Merrill reports.Video Transcript
(port harb) MAKING SURE MAINE FISHERIES - INCLUDING THE STATE'S SIGNATURE LOBSTER INDUSTRY - ARE SUSTAINABLE WELL INTO THE FUTURE. THAT'S THE TOPIC BEING DISCUSSED AT A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND SYMPOSIUM IN PORTLAND THIS WEEK. W-M-T-W NEWS EIGHT'S PAUL MERRILL JOINS US LIVE FROM THE WATERFRONT WITH MORE. MAINE'S COAST PLAYS A HUGE ROLE IN THE CULTURAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF OUR STATE. SOME ARE WORRIED THAT A CHANGING CLIMATE AND WARMER WATERS COULD TAKE A DRASTIC TOLL ON OUR WORKING WATERFRONTS. LIFE AS A LOBSTERMAN IS HARD WORK. THE DAYS ARE LONG, THE BUSINESS IS UNPREDICTABLE, AND THE PROFIT MARGINS CAN BE THIN. "There's always a balance between managing a resource and making money and we're trying to do that in the lobster fishery, but it is difficult. We've got a lot of players." MANY OF THOSE PLAYERS - BROUGHT TOGETHER IN PORTLAND THIS WEEK TO TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES THEY'RE SEEING OFF THE COAST. "Temperatures have been warming especially rapidly and we've been seeing many new species much farther north than they've been in the past." AND SHIFTING SPECIES CAN PRESENT UNIQUE PROBLEMS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN COASTAL COMMUNITIES. "It's hard to switch to something different. You don't catch a whole lot else in a lobster trap; it's not good for catching many other things.." MANY ATTENDING THIS SYMPOSIUM SAY ONE WAY TO ENSURE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF COASTAL INDUSTRIES IS TO USE RULES AND REGULATIONS TO MANAGE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. "Our communities along the coast of Maine are absolutely dependent upon this. It's a part of our heritage and people want to be able to continue to go down to the sea to make a living." SOME HERE SAY DIFFERENT SPECIES OF FISH COULD COME AND GO FROM MAINE'S WATERS OVER THE COMING FEW YEARS. LOBSTER WILL PROBABLY NEVER GO AWAY BUT, IN THE FUTURE, THE INDUSTRY COULD LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT THAN IT DOES TODAY. "It would be unlikely that we would see conditions in the Gulf of Maine alter to a point where it would be inhospitable for lobsters, but, within the Gulf of Maine ecosystem, we have to be able to respond to where they're going to be more or less available over time." "History has shown that things change, so it's we be prepared for it if we can." SOME PEOPLE QUESTION THE ASSUMPTION THAT OUR CLIMATE IS CHANGING. THAT DEBATE ISN'T COMING INTO PLAY AT THIS WEEK'S SYMPOSIUM. FOLKS THERE TELL US THEY'VE SIMPLY OBSERVED A WARMING OF THE OCEAN AND - NO MATTER WHAT MAY BE CAUSING IT - THEY WANT TO BE READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT. LIVE IN PORTLAND, PAUL MERRILL, W-M-T- W NEWS EIGHT.

Watch: Jay-Z's music video for 'On to the Next One'
We can't even pretend to understand it, but we love the video for Jay-Z's hypnotic new single for "On to the Next One" featuring Swizz Beatz.
Shot in black and white—his preferred color scheme these days—the video is little more than seemingly unrelated images morphed together into a collage. There are visuals that are take-offs (or at least we think they are) of Heath Ledger's Joker and Marilyn Manson. There's something about it that's oddly compelling, even the shots of milk.
Toward the end, Jay Z sings "y'all should be afraid of what I'm gonna do next. " Guess what, Hova? You're wrong. We can't wait. "The Blueprint 3" and its singles have shown a reinvigorated Jay-Z who just grows stronger and stronger.
And in case you're wondering, that insinuating sample you hear running throughout the whole song is Justice's "D.A.N.C.E."


text: I've been trying out all the ecommerce/appointment plugins I can get my hands on and I can't seem to find one where I can let users add items to shopping cart before "checking out" by making an appointment. There's no payment involved. Does anyone know of any suitable plugin or combinations that would do the above function? The more customization the better. Thanks a ton!!

• Five Pac-12 teams are ranked in Baseball America's top 25 poll: Oregon (8), UCLA (11), Arizona (13), Stanford (14) and Arizona State (20).
• No. 11 UCLA was named CollegeBaseballInsider.com's Team of the Week after a 3-1 week against two top-15 teams. Last Tuesday, the Bruins defeated No. 12 Cal State Fullerton at home, 4-2, and then won two out of three games in the weekend series at then-No. 4 Arizona, handing the Wildcats their first weekend series loss of the season. UCLA is the second Pac-12 team to be named the CBI Team of the Week, as Arizona earned the honor on April 3.
• UCLA junior center fielder Beau Amaral is the NCBWA National Hitter of the Week in addition to the Pac-12 Player of the Week. Amaral went 9-for-18 (.500) with two triples, one double, six RBI and seven runs in UCLA's four games against two top-15 teams last week, posting a .778 slugging percentage. He put up his strongest numbers at Arizona on Saturday, going 4-for-6 with two triples, four RBI and four runs in UCLA's 15-3 victory. Amaral extended his hitting streak to a career-high 18 games on Sunday, going 2-for-5 with one double, two RBI and one run to help the then-No. 17 Bruins seal the series victory at Arizona. His streak is the longest by a Bruin since Chris Jensen's 18-game hitting streak in 2005.
• Stanford junior Eric Smith and UCLA junior Tyler Heineman have been added to the 51-person watch list for the 2012 Johnny Bench Award, the honor for college baseball's best catcher. The award will be presented on June 28 in Wichita, Kan. Two Pac-12 catchers have received the honor since the award's creation in 2000: Ryan Garko (Stanford, 2003) and Jeff Clement (USC, 2005).
• Arizona State's pitching staff is in the top 10 among Division I schools in four statistical categories: the Sun Devils have the third-lowest ERA in the country at 2.57, are fourth in walks allowed per nine innings (2.09), rank seventh in strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.23—242 strikeouts to 75 walks) and are ninth in hits allowed per nine innings (7.53). ASU righties Brady Rodgers and Trevor Williams lead the Pac-12 with ERAs of 1.12 and 1.41, respectively, and rank sixth and 17th in the country in that category.
• Arizona ace Kurt Heyer threw his second-straight complete game (third of the year, sixth of his career) in Friday's 4-3 win over UCLA. The junior also reached 300 career strikeouts, tying him for eighth on Arizona's all-time strikeouts list.
FYI: Conforto smacked two three-run homers against Nevada.
Go Devils !!

The 15 most valuable Bruins of 2015: Nos. 11-15June 23rd, 2015, 8:00 am by BY JOEY KAUFMAN
When Jim Mora met with reporters to recap spring practice in late April at the Rose Bowl, he brought up the Bruins' collective health within the first minute. It was a clean bill. After 15 spring workouts, UCLA had escaped mostly injury-free, save for the few bumps and bruises that come along the way. All players left with the expectation of being healthy heading into fall camp in August.
Come the fall, though, that could change of course. Injuries are par for the course in college football.
With that idea in mind, let's examine here at the UCLA blog which UCLA players most need to stay on the field and avoid injuries. Let's examine the 15 most valuable Bruins for 2015.
The players will be ranked and valued based on a range of criteria that includes past performance, projected future production, depth at their position, versatility, experience and leadership skills.
This is a subjective exercise. But it could be an entertaining and constructive method to look over UCLA's roster, analyzing its strengths and weakness, during the long offseason (note: this series was originally planned before a bit of news kept everyone preoccupied yesterday). Today's initial post will look at Nos. 11-15. Then we'll roll out a separate post for each player in the top 10 over the next three weeks.Read the rest of this entry »

Less than a month later, my car starts shifting improperly (over-revving then making a loud pop then shifting). I take it back in and they say "bad news and good news, bad news is your transmission is shot and its an expensive repair, the good news is they fixed the issues and the new transmissions are better, it'll be $3400 to repair it." Well I bought the car with an extended warranty that covered the transmission, they tried to convince me not to use the warranty because I would "get a better part through them".
After 2 weeks of my car sitting at their shop it turns out they never told the warranty company to send the part. I had to do that, it took another 4 days for it to get there and when it finally did it was quote "the wrong part and its broken". I filed a complaint with Merchants Corporate, so the store manager finds out, calls me and tells me he's done working on the car, I'm putting it back together and sitting it outside you can come pick it up.
I get it towed over to the dealer where I bought it from and it turns out that the hoses connecting to the transmission (the ones you would take off during a fluid flush at 90,000 miles) aren't connected properly and the car is 6 quarts low on transmission fluid. The dealer connected the lines correctly, replaced the fluid and now it drives fine!!!!!!!!! Be very wary of dealing with Merchants, they are either incompetent or devious or perhaps both, but one thing is for sure, they are expensive.

Hi FF,ReplyDelete
Green is the colour I channel the most, we never tire of each other.
The Toddler's jersey reminds me that St. Paddy's Day is not far away, hooray for another chance to throw a themed morning tea with the girls.
Here's to the w/end, only a day away now (cue, the Annie song in your head)
Love all the green. It's a very restful colour. Unfortunately my garden is lacking that colour at the moment. Need more rain. Please send me some! My favourite top at the moment is my green silk Kate Spade one I've posted a few pics of on the blog. Goes with everything. xxReplyDelete
I think I read that green has more shades than any other colour, so plenty of room for scope. I never wear it, but what's a garden without it? Love Baby FF's shamrock top!ReplyDelete
I love green. We had pork belly recently and the butcher left a nipple on! I was devastated!!ReplyDelete
Felt really bad :(
Hi FFReplyDelete
I have an emerald green winter coat and every time I wear it I get compliments from strangers. It has special powers, obviously.
Susan x
Green is so restorative and you look and Master FF both look fab swathed in it's various hues. Afraid that I'm green with envy over that gorgeous teacup...it doesn't look quite the same shape as the Limoges? RxReplyDelete
Love the Ireland shirt. Ted has grown out of his. Puts me I the mood to buy green.ReplyDelete
I never thought I liked green, but it is sneaking in. It's fresh and clean.ReplyDelete
It's going to be one of my wedding colours-well... white flowers and green foliage.
Oh I've always been a fan of green. I have green-ish eyes so I like to think wearing green makes them look, well, more green. Which can only be a good thing xReplyDelete
I love Shanghai Tang.ReplyDelete
I am so looking forward to my trip home in June as I will get to go to all my favourite stores!
And I must say that both you and O wear green well.
I like Toddler C in green too...I think it looks nice with his blond curls.
Where did you get the frame for O's artwork?
Green and pink is such a blissful combination!ReplyDelete
Popped in to say Hi as I've been rubbish at commenting lately. Still enjoying your Instagram though. So quick and convenient.ReplyDelete
Hey FF, I don't mind a mild PDA - holding hands, intimate glances, sneaked little kisses - so I sometimes wonder whether Kate and Wills would like to walk in Westminster or Windsor or Wherever holding hands, as a regular couple like Michelle and Barrack or Jen and Justin would. Your pic shows the incomparable Mary and her Frederick holding hands. There was also a magnificent snap of them heading to the Packer v2 wedding with paws clutched. And I love it. Does being a British royal mean you can't have a physical expression of your love and affection? Maybe if Charles had held Diana's hand a bit more.... ?? Well, who knows. Sometimes my husband holds my hand as we are walking with a basket of wet clothes to the line. Never under-estimate the power of your hand being held. There is a saying, goes like this, it is impossible to be angry with someone when they are holding your hand. Try it. It's true. Love your green xoReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Bron,Delete
I'm fervent about the blogs I love so always stop by and read the comments too, I hope you (and FF for that matter) don't mind me dropping by here to tell you that not all British royals avoid physical expression like the pox. There have been some wonderful pics of Wills & Kate, rem the Canadian trip and the Olympics last year, not to mention almost every public engagement they do together he seems to have a protective arm on her back as they walk in (yes I notice these things I am a Duchess of C & Wills devotee).
Isn't your husband lovely to a) help you with the basket of wet clothes and b) hold your hand as he does so.
- AnonymousFebruary 21, 2013 at 9:58 PM
You and the little man look lovely in green....in fact you look lovely in every colour!ReplyDelete
Looking forward to Ole Martha tomorrow night, then the Oscars next week. Want to see a couple more of the Oscar nominated movies in the next few days.

Green is my favorite color. I love all things green.
I have heard of pork belly, but I can honestly say I have never seen it at my grocer. Is pork belly just bacon that hasn't been sliced?
Great to see all the green-- so white here still.ReplyDelete
I have that Bunny W book-- why hasn't she adopted me yet?
I love those emerald green earrings!ReplyDelete
Green is my favourite all time colour so naturally I was excited to see all your photos. Always a pleasure to open your posts.
Little one looks rather sweet in his rugby shirt. My goodness he is getting tall.
Luff the green china teacup 11/10! I've always been a fan of green, and have started wearing it again.ReplyDelete
Very impressed by your detective skills digging out those green gowns. How does Mary look ? Though Jackie in those long evening gloves and that hair takes some beatingReplyDelete
Fascinating book I sae of yours "After Dinner Mints for Breakfast" what is that about?
L love the rolled up sleeves on the rugby jersey
i LUFF this post!! you make me smile SO BIG!! and i didn't know bromeliad grows outside! i only have it planted!ReplyDelete
green is good!
xo, sam
I love all the gorgeous colours in your life - so nice to see given the drab February weather I have here! Everything outside seems to be shades of grey...ReplyDelete
I am wearing a green cashmere cardigan today though, so clearly on the same wavelength if not temperature!
Those fabrics are stunning too, and your little boy gets more adorable by the day! Love the shot of him with the hockey stick, up to mischief!
Just noticed you've gone over 5 million pageviews - congratulations!
Melusine x
My favourite colour is green followed closely by orange.ReplyDelete
Have a great day
I love all the green. Chrysanthemums in that acid green colour are my favourites.ReplyDelete
Yes, pretty sure I've said it before (and, clearly, will say it again!)... Green is the BOMB. Absolute fave colour - so soothing, calming, healing... just beautiful. Love your colour posts, FF.ReplyDelete
And, yes, congrats on over 5 million views, wowser!
You are wading around knee deep in water and we are frizzling away in the dry. My plants are shriveling into little dry sticks.ReplyDelete
The green of our Mary's frock almost makes my heart skip a beat.ReplyDelete
The green of our Mary's frock almost makes my heart miss a beatReplyDelete
I just LOVE Shanghai Tang! My poor beloved Shanghai Tang handbag is starting to die, I will miss it so much. And all that green is very soothing, it is terribly dry and grey here.ReplyDelete
Green is the business! xxReplyDelete
Loving the emerald... all of it... :)ReplyDelete
Have a fabulous weekend... xv
- Linda C.February 23, 2013 at 9:24 AM
Green, in the form of a cardigan, was the only colour I used to break up my uniform of black and white...pre FF.ReplyDelete
And emeralds! Well, I don't own any but if I could I would.
Love me a bit of green and happy to say we can stay friends as bromeliads and cordylines are up there for me. Have a great weekend. I got gel nails this morning will I really be chipless for three weeks? Or will I be over this colour before I chip?ReplyDelete
I know you've probably mentioned this a million times, but where did you get your necklace with the fluro features (orange, green)? It's in the above post. Thanks so much! xxReplyDeleteReplies
it's shourouk from Jean Brown, originally retailed for $650 but naturally I didn't pay anywhere near that xDelete

The Theft of Thor's Hammer
The Theft of Thor's Hammer
In a Nutshell
"The Theft of Thor's Hammer" is the story of how the toughest, manliest, most burly of the Norse gods, Thor the Thunder God, has to dress up like a woman to get his hammer back. He really doesn't want to, but it isn't just any hammer that's been stolen – it's Mjollnir, the magical hammer made by the dwarves, the one that never misses its mark and always returns to Thor's hands once it has done his business. This hammer is so important that Thor agrees to dress up like Freyja, the most beautiful goddess of all, in order to get it back from the frost giant who has stolen it.
Thor wasn't the first macho man forced to cross-dress as a woman. Nope, before Thor there was Achilles, whose mother, Thetis, forced him to dress up as a girl so he could draft-dodge the Trojan War. (Uh, good luck with that, Thetis. Can you imagine this guy passing for a girl?) Kind of like Thor, though, Achilles was too "manly" to really play the part well. When the crafty Odysseus placed some weapons in front of him, Achilles just couldn't resist. Since, in the mind of an ancient Greek, love of weapons = dude, Achilles' girlish cover was blown and he was forced to fight in the war.
Thor also wasn't the last reluctant male cross-dresser. In the 1959 classic Some Like it Hot, two male musicians join an all-female traveling band in order to hide out from the mob. Their cover is threatened by their "manliness," in this case one guy's attraction to the drop-dead gorgeous singer "Sugar Kane" (played by Marilyn Monroe). In 2000 the American Film Institute named Some Like It Hot the "greatest American comedy film of all time." Lots of other movies have taken the hint:
- In 1993, Robin Williams lit his fake boobs on fire as he played a nanny/housekeeper in Mrs. Doubtfire.
- In 2000, Martin Lawrence starred an FBI agent going undercover as a tough grandma in Big Mamma's House.
- In 2004, the Wayans brothers jumped on the male cross-dressing bandwagon with White Chicks.
- And in 2011, ABC is trying to cash in on the tried-and-true formula with a new sitcom, Work It, about men pretending to be women in order to get jobs.
So admit it: men in drag are hilarious. And men who are forced to dress in drag? That's even better, especially when the guy in question is a muscleman like Thor. There's just something about all that macho energy bundled into women's clothing that tickles our funny bones. Maybe we like it because the difficulty the manly man has in "passing" as a girl confirms what we think we know about gender and sex roles. Or maybe it's fun for women, in particular, to watch a man have to deal with the trials women go through every day.
Whatever the reason, the reluctant drag queen's universal appeal makes him a familiar cultural icon. So go ahead, add one more to the pile and watch what happens as Thor the Thunder God tries to pass for a blushing bride.
Shmoop Connections
Explore the ways this myth connects with the world and with other topics on Shmoop
- In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Ulysses tells how he revealed Achilles' true gender when his mother forced him to dress as a girl.
- In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the female lead, Viola, disguises herself as a boy.
- Rosaline, Shakespeare's heroine in As You Like It, also cross-dresses in boy's clothes.
Orally-Composed Germanic Literature
- J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings universe is inspired by Norse cosmology. See The Hobbit.
- The character of Torvald in A Doll's House is named after Thor. Interestingly, this play is very much about gender roles.

A first step to facilitating trade in energy-efficient products is to encourage developing and emerging economies to reform their policies in trade and energy-pricing, according to this paper which draws on work by Japan's Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE).
The UN Conference (28 November-9 December 2011) involved OECD experts to focus on green growth and climate change, adaptation and mitigation, carbon accounting, improving transparency ("MRV"), climate finance and technology.
New data show that the member countries of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) allocated up to USD 22.9 billion, or 15% of total official development assistance (ODA), to climate change mitigation and adaptation in developing countries in 2010.
Foreign ministers of the so-called Green Group, among which Slovenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Žbogar, urged to take a step forward in international climate negotiations in a joint letter.
