In 1997, Wisconsin's probation and parole violators wound up in county jails rather than state prison, where they belonged. That year, a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision allowed crowded county jails to refuse the state's overflow offenders, forcing the state to create an alternative facility.
The Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility is that alternative, built to house parolees who don't meet the conditions of their release. The probation and parole holding facility is one of the newest and smartest facility-types on the correctional landscape. Although the Federal Bureau of Prisons has built several general holding and transport centers, Wisconsin's 1,048-bed detention center provides the first state model for correctional departments whose parole violators are clogging county jails.
"It has many aspects of a jail," according to Warden John Husz, who says the majority of inmates are in for a short-term stay before being released or returned to a state prison. "Operationally, it looks a lot like a jail, but in reality, it is a state, medium-security institution," he says.

The $63 million facility, which accepted its first inmate in October 2001 and is due to reach capacity soon, includes 57 video-visitation booths, victim-sensitive hearing rooms for the revocation of probation and parole, and medical services on each floor. A community corrections component comes in the form of 210 beds dedicated to inmates incarcerated for drug and alcohol treatment.
Located kitty-corner from the Milwaukee County Jail, the facility is a quick ride between sallyports, accomplishing its mission to alleviate crowding in this county and others throughout the state. And, to make the downtown facility blend in with commercial buildings, it is wrapped in the envelope of an office tower.
|The pedestrian-friendly base incorporates bullnose detailing with brick arches and pilasters.
The Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility is built to handle Wisconsin's ongoing recidivistic traffic. The average length of stay is 60 days, but there will be many detainees staying only for the night. Inmates in the treatment program for drug and alcohol abuse, or on their way to begin new prison terms, can stay for several months.
Designed by Durrant Group Inc., the multi-purpose facility has an intake component, but is not a state classification center. As the firm's project manager/architect, Ron Mastalski, explains, "It functions as intake for people off the street, but not for people who have been sentenced." Hearings to revoke probation and parole occur here, while reception and classification in Wisconsin remain the responsibility of the Dodge Correctional Institution, 60 miles away in Waupun. For this reason, the secure vehicle sallyport accommodates inmate transport buses.
Probation and parole revocation hearings once held at an old workhouse ran the risk of re-traumatizing victims. At the new detention center, four revocation hearing rooms are a core component. Warden Husz involved victims and witnesses, the public defender's office, and the district attorney's office in the design of the flexible spaces. Offenders can be seen through glass and provide their testimony through an intercom. Officials also have the option to place the offender in a secure room to prevent his hearing testimony, or even keep victims and violators in different rooms while the hearing proceeds in a third.
|Two fully redundant central control stations were required for this high-traffic, medium-security facility.
The hearing rooms minimize prisoner movement by keeping the revocation process within the facility. Limiting movement is a common goal in justice architecture, but is very critical in a nine-story detention center. "Whenever you have a vertical design, one of the limitations is the amount of time and effort expended on circulation, meaning waiting for and riding elevators," says Mastalski.
The central health services unit on the third floor supports triage units, which are situated between pods on each floor. The Milwaukee County Jail contributes to the new state facility by supplying inmate labor to clean areas outside the pods and also contracts to deliver food into the re-therm area. Inmates contribute less to traffic because they never leave their secure 50-bed pods, except to attend their hearing or upon release.

The construction project received high marks from John Kilgust, the owner representative and the project manager for the Wisconsin Department of Administration's Division of Facilities Development, the agency responsible for erecting all state buildings and the owner of this project, the state's first design-build project. Kilgust recommended the facility for the 2001 State Construction Excellence Award, which the building team received in February.
Kilgust was particularly impressed by how the design team coordinated their work and the absence of squabbles and cross-claims. John Cliffe, senior project manager for JH Findorff & Son Inc., says the project demanded no less than perfect harmony with subcontractors and suppliers. Because the building's footprint occupied the entire site, there were no staging areas to store materials. "Everything was delivered on an as-needed basis," says Cliffe. "Once it hit the site, it had to go straight into the building." To turn daily deliveries into completed work, Cliffe called for two tower cranes-where one would be typical for a building of this size-allowing builders to feed materials to both sides of the nine-story structure at once.
The project's successful execution can be traced back to the period before the team even won the design-build competition. Ron Mastalski believes the team won the contract in part because they performed a soil analysis prior to their submission. The bearing capacity of the soil and of a freeway retaining wall on the site told planners there was no need to drive casons or pilings into the ground. They came in with a lower bid by proposing the use of spread footings. "Some of those spread footings were huge, but that was better than having to drill down to bedrock," Mastalski says.
Planning for the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility underwent numerous revisions along the way, some of which were implemented after construction began. Two additional housing floors, which were integrated into designs for future expansion, were made a part of the original structure. Durrant facilitated change orders and supplemental instructions by issuing a new package of construction documents. "[Builders] didn't have to go back and reference different volumes and different sets of drawings for the base package and the expansion project," said Mastalski. "It was all one clean set of documents and that kept anything from getting lost in the shuffle."
The new documents also incorporated changes suggested by Warden Husz, who joined the project in 1999, after the initial plans were completed. "When I traveled around the country looking at high-rise correctional facilities, what I heard was, 'You'll never have enough storage and you'll never have enough elevators.'" The warden got more storage and an additional elevator, bringing the total to five.
Husz then noted that parking was the dominant topic at the environmental impact hearings he attended. A three-level parking garage at the base of the facility accommodates 350 vehicles. "Touring those other high-rises, I know parking was a significant issue for those superintendents and wardens," says Husz, who oversees a staff of almost 400. "We also have 300 probation and parole agents in the area, so I have allocated a number of slots for them as a way of building a good interagency partnership." In addition to facility staff, the garage accommodates judges, social workers, and a range of government employees who frequent the busy facility.
Office Tower Exterior
|With no staging areas, materials had to be installed on the day of delivery. The use of two tower cranes allowed builders to feed both sides of the building at once.
While the new detention center strikes a unique profile within Wisconsin's correctional system, it blends perfectly with the Milwaukee skyline. A primary design challenge was making the facility look like an office tower, with large windows instead of the slits common in urban jails.
"Being adjacent to the freeway was one of the reasons why we had strong feelings about the aesthetics of the building. We knew it was going to be highly visible and we didn't want it to be ugly," says Mastalski. "If you're not told beforehand, you don't know this is a detention center."
Without fencing, urban jails that appear to be an office building still require the exterior wall to serve as the secure perimeter. To accomplish the aesthetic feat, architects designed two walls. The rear cell walls around on the edge of the building are typical eight-inch-thick concrete block walls, fully grouted and reinforced to maximum-security standards. A second wall faces the exterior and gives the facility a public face. Daylight passes through the large exterior windows and into smaller interior windows that meet.
ACA standards
In designing the office-like exterior, Durrant worked with International Concrete Products to create architectural precast panels with varied textures and materials. Finish techniques were modified to employ both a light-colored acid-etch and an exposed aggregate, which is darker and more highly textured. "It was all done within the same matrix to help with constructability and cost," says Mastalski.
The base of the building is similarly soft and pedestrian-friendly. Renaissance Stone was used for some of the base masonry in conjunction with a bullnose detail and brick arches and pilasters. What really distinguishes this application, however, is the way the hard/soft double-wall system is integrated with the facility's mechanical chases. Typically, mechanical chases are placed in a building's interstitial space, between floors. In Milwaukee, they are situated around the perimeter of the facility, between the hard and soft walls.
Having less space between floors further reduced costs because it took 30 feet off the structure's height. "It's a similar volume, but not as high, and therefore less expensive. The tower cranes didn't have to be as tall and the interior skin of the building is decreased," says Mastalski.
Everyone agreed that placing the mechanical chases on the edge of the facility would make for easier maintenance so personnel could enter from non-secure areas and reduce the need to pass tools through security checks. How the configuration would work was another question.
A full-size mock-up of a four-cell bay was created so owners could see for themselves how the mechanical chases would fit. "It proved to be an invaluable exercise," says Kilgust. "There was a lot of cross-interference with plumbing, ductwork, and electrical wiring. There still are conflicts, but if we had not had the mock-up, it could have been a lot worse."
Security Electronics
|Five of the facility's 57 video-visitation booths are remote-capable. As the Milwaukee area's visitation hub, the facility allows families to visit with inmates confined within the state and at out-of-state facilities.
Nearly half of Wisconsin's offenders come from Milwaukee County, so five of the facility's 57 video-visitation links have remote capability to allow Milwaukee families to visit with inmates housed in other state prisons, as well as in prisons in Minnesota and Oklahoma; Wisconsin contracts with those states to house prisoners. Five booths might not seem like enough to handle all of Milwaukee's distance-visitation needs, but Warden Husz reports that, with proper scheduling, the system has easily satisfied demand.
The rest of the visitation system is not as state-of-the-art, according to TJ Rogers of Accurate Controls Inc. Still, Rogers says, Milwaukee's analogue configuration has an advantage over more advanced switching stations that employ a fewer number of visitor stations to serve visitation needs. The analogue configuration is setup to directly link a visitor booth with just one inmate terminal, requiring more visitor booths for a comparable amount of visitation traffic.
"It's not as intelligent as some systems and you can't direct any inmate station to any visitor booth, but you can carry on 50 inmate visits at a time," says Rogers. More importantly, the analogue system met budgetary constraints.
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is integrated with touchscreen systems controlling the time and duration of each visit. Always leaving room for improvement, Warden Husz learned that visitors believed their 45-minute visits ended too abruptly. He currently plans to add a countdown on the screen and to signal visitors with a tone on the handset to tell them the transmission is coming to a close.
Rogers adds that computer and software prices fell significantly over the three years between initial design and construction, and that the hard panels called for in the original plans could be abandoned for touchscreen systems. "Suddenly, for the same cost, they could get a better system, one that allowed greater continuity of control," says Rogers. "Officers can switch from post to post and still see the same thing at all the operator stations."
All nine floors have a PLC system that handles lighting and door control. Each door has three fuses, one for each door function: lock/unlock, lock status, and the door-position switch. "This [door control] gives them trouble-shooting capability not provided by a series connection for one secure input," says Rogers. "In cooperation with the touchscreen, management functions, and logging capabilities, operators are able to diagnose more door-adjustment issues remotely."
Other security electronics features at the new detention facility include a digital audio system by Harding Instruments that is networked for intercoms, overhead paging, and the PBX interface, allowing operators to adjust sound levels by station. Elevators are equipped with a duress button that triggers the car to move directly to a pre-established floor. Here again, security provisions accommodate the high traffic of a jail rather than the more static population of a state prison.
"With probation and parole violators, you don't know the characteristics of the people coming in off the street," says Mastalski. "In a state prison, inmates have a history and have been classified. At this facility, you don't know if they're drunk, high, or have mental problems or other health issues when they first come in."
The probation and parole holding facility has taken root in Wisconsin. Durrant recently won the contract to design four more regional facilities for Wisconsin parolees who violate release conditions-much smaller operations that will each house approximately 150 offenders.
Warden Husz says his personnel roster is almost complete. Three years ago, he was touring high-rise jails in other cities, but now the warden of the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility is hosting visiting corrections officials and giving tours of his own.

After a summer hiatus we're still following the Americanized, but delightful Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) in Elementary. The second season kicks off in an intriguing way with "Step Nine." The premiere episode gives us a better look at how much Sherlock's changed and will continue to do so as the series progresses.
The Players:
- Director: John Polson
- Writers: Robert Doherty, Craig Sweeny
- Cast: Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, Aidan Quinn, Jon Michael Hill, Rhys Ifans, Sean Petwee
Episode Title: "Step Nine"
Sherlock and Watson head to London to help his old mentor Lestrade with an unsolved case. Watson's finally introduced to Sherlock's estranged brother, Mycroft (Ifans), whose relationship has soured for a number of reasons.
The Good:
- A Slightly Changed Sherlock: Last season, we saw Sherlock go from zany and hard-to-read to emotionally struggling thanks to his ex-girlfriend who was Moriarty in disguise. When we're re-introduced to Sherlock he's still on top of his consulting game but Joan's teachings have made quite an impact on him. There are a couple moments where he continues his road to recovery. At one point, he tries to share heartfelt moments with Lestrade and Joan. We see the changes he's made in order to be a better person.
- The Fun Banter: Sherlock and Joan have a fun round of banter with each other in the first season. Now that the two actors have found their footing as these characters, the once harsh criticism from Sherlock has turned into a sibling-fueled conversation. The point of where they could have possibly slept together – which would have ruined the show – has passed. The writers were right in turning their relationship into a genuine friendship. It's worked out beautifully and continues to show signs of leveling up.
- Mycroft: It's fun seeing a talented actor like Rhys Ifans tackle such an iconic character as Mycroft Holmes. There's more going on beneath the surface of this incarnation. We got to see some of that as the episode continued on. We do admit it was slightly disappointing not seeing his face more often. We were waiting for him most of last season, but it's safe to say this won't be the last time we see Mycroft.
- Pretty London: We'd like to thank John Polson, who directed this episode for showing off the beauty of London. Another shout out goes to the person who designed the exterior to the famous living space where Sherlock and Watson lived in, in the books. The lighting and camera work made these locations look absolutely gorgeous. It also made us want to visit immediately.
The So-So:
- Our Crime Story: It was great to be introduced to this broken Lestrade (Petwee), his story was eclipsed by the ever-known presence of Mycroft. Still, the actor behind the alcoholic officer was fine in his role as the man who'd send a shock through Sherlock's system. He reminded him of what he once was and what he knows he shall never be again. At the same time, the murder was more clever than Elementary's previous crime-of-the-week stories. They had a smart murderer to deal with whose weapon touched on the ever-going advancements in technology. We dig it.
The Bad:
- That Green Screen Flash Back: Those puke green flashbacks will always get on our nerves. But if that's the only thing we have to complain about it proves how good an episode "Step Nine" was.
Elementary returned gracefully, giving us intriguing new crimes for Sherlock and Joan to solve along with another set of obstacles they'll encounter as the season goes on. To put it simply, this was a really great episode.
Rating: 9/10
Elementary airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on CBS.

In Your Face!
In the last few weeks we have written a few times about the popularity of social networking sites. Membership at both Facebook and MySpace continues to grow rapidly. As a Facebook member since its inception, I have always heard the argument from a number of skeptical peers that it is "stalkerish." I never felt this way and vehemently defended Facebook as a good way to keep track of friends. No real private information has ever been divulged and you only give out what information you want.
On Tuesday, Facebook released two new tools called News Feed and Mini Feed. At first look I thought "I'm done, get me off this thing" much like a little kid on an amusement ride. These new tools essentially tell you exactly what every one of your friends has done on Facebook recently. A stalker's heaven right? I don't need to know what an ex-girlfriend posted on a friend's wall at 3:20AM last night, nor do I want all of my female acquaintances to know that I am suddenly "In a Relationship." These were my first reactions, and many of Facebook's users have a similar opinion. In the last day or so membership in groups like "The New Facebook Sucks" and "Facebook or Stalker Paradise" has skyrocketed to well over 200,000 in a little more than a day.
However, my opinion has changed. What information does Facebook provide that wasn't already there? None. What privacy settings have been changed? None. Facebook has just provided a way for its users to find the information they are already looking for quickly. That's what Facebook is used for: keeping track of friends and seeing how their lives change. The tools just make it easier. And if you don't want certain information to be sent to your friends via the news feed, you can easily change your privacy settings so that it isn't. I do feel that Facebook should integrate some settings to make the tool optional but the root of what Facebook is hasn't changed at all. I expect Facebook usage and membership to continue to grow. Some people may like the new features, others may not, only one thing is certain: once a Facebook stalker, always a Facebook stalker"¦.

If your stamped images aren't turning out as perfectly as you'd like, read these tips for an instant improvement!
1. Use the right kind of ink for the job
Knowing what kind of ink will work well on the surface you're stamping on is the first step to clear, crisp images that won't smear. Check out our stamping glossary to learn more about different types of inks.
2. Fully ink the image
Unless your goal is a distressed or fuzzy image, verify your stamp is fully inked before stamping your image. Use a brayer to help you ink large surfaces.
3. Don't guess on placement; use your tools
Use gridlines on acrylic blocks to help you line up multiple clear stamps and perfectly place your images, or, if you're using a rubber stamp, reach for a stamp positioner.
4. Stamp straight down; lift straight up
It sounds like a no-brainer, but many of us have the tendency to rock our stamps when we place them on our cardstock or lift them up. Practice stamping in a straight down, straight up motion to create clear stamped images without that annoying "halo" effect.
5. Clean your stamps
When you're quickly moving from one fabulous creative idea to the next, it can be hard to remember to clean your stamps. But if you do, they'll last longer, accept ink more readily, and stamp cleaner images.
6. Condition your stamps
If you aren't happy with the quality of your stamped images, try going over the surface of your stamp with a large eraser in order to give your ink a little texture to grip to. This is especially effective with larger stamps, and it works on both clear and rubber varieties to give you crisper images.

"I didn't have lemon pepper. I followed the recipe except after draining I added a little butter, salt, pepper and squeezed half a lemon on the beans and tossed. It gave a light lemony flavor to the beans and was a refreshing change for our table. Loved it and didn't have any leftovers!"

There are just some places that were never meant to be great fishing spots and there is a reason.
Sometime ago Norm Behr, who works as a circulation assistant for the Clovis News Journal and Portales News-Tribune, was working in Colorado. He heard Palmer Lake in Colorado was going to be opened to anglers after years of being unfishable.
A year before they opened the lake, they gill-netted it to see what was in there. They found a lot of garbage fish: Carp, suckers and other bottom feeders.
Behr and some friends all went up there to try their luck. They spent hours fishing without a bite until one friend, a guy from Florida, started screaming and hollering.
"I caught one of them Colorado Crocodiles," he shouted as he pulled something from the water.
It turned to be a six inch salamander. It got hooked as he was reeling in to recast his line.
They returned home disappointed.

Attackers threw a homemade bomb at an administration building belonging to the Egyptian Coptic church in Dafniya, close to the western city of Misrata, said Ibrahim Rajab of the Misrata military council.
The Egyptian consul in the city, Tareq Dahrouj, said he visited the church and the building where the two church workers were killed early on Sunday.
"The explosion seems like it was very strong and I have started making my investigations with Misrata officials,'' he said.Libya has small communities of Egyptians, Greeks and Italians who account for most of the Christian minority in the predominantly Islamic country.
Libya's new rulers have struggled to impose their authority on myriad armed groups who helped oust dictator Moammar Gadhafi last year but have yet to lay down their arms. Sunday's attack was the first major assault on a Christian target since the revolution.
Coptic Christians in Egypt have become increasingly worried after an upsurge in attacks on churches, which they blame on hardline Islamists, in the wake of the removal from office in 2011 of President Hosni Mubarak.
Repeated attacks on foreign diplomatic and aid centers in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi have made it very dangerous for non-locals to work and live there.

The citadel of Jerusalem, known as the "Tower of David," has been a landmark of the city since ancient times. The citadel is located on the western side of the Old City, just south of the Jaffa Gate. Its location was chosen for topographic reasons – this is the highest point of the southwestern hill of Jerusalem, higher than any other point in the ancient city, including the Temple Mount. A series of fortifications built here in the course of more than twenty centuries, protected Jerusalem from the west and also overlooked and controlled the entire city.
A first archeological survey of the citadel, and excavations, were conducted between 1934 and 1947. Renewed excavations were undertaken after the reunification of the city, between the years 1968 and 1988, preparing the opening of the site to visitors.
Every period has left its mark and has been identified in the assemblage of architectural remains. In the citadels foundations are buried the remains of Jerusalems fortifications from the end of the monarchic period (8th to 6th centuries BCE) through the early Arab period (seventh to eleventh centuries). The outline of the citadel known today is from the Crusader period; the citadel itself was built in the mid-16th century by the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and incorporates the remains of earlier citadels dating from Ayyubid and Mamluk times.
The Citadel is protected by a high wall and large towers, and it is surrounded by a wide, deep moat, part of which was blocked in modern times. The entrance is from the east, via an outer gate, a bridge over the moat and a fortified inner gate house.

In fact, at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, about 1 in 5 athletes had indications of asthma. The physicians who observed this decided to measure it – so they surveyed the US athletes who took part in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.
The results, published in the August 2000 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, confirmed that more than 20% of American Olympians reported asthma or the use of asthma medication.
When treated appropriately, asthma doesn't prevent kids from becoming top-level competitive athletes.

Chris Hadfield, whom you may recognize from all of the videos he uploaded to YouTube about his life aboard the International Space Station, wanted to be an astronaut ever since he watched the moon landing on television at the age of 9. So, he became one. It wasn't easy -- it took decades of hard work, sacrifice, immeasurable support from his family, and a bit of luck. Chris recently talked to Cracked about a few of the things he learned during two space shuttle missions and five months aboard the International Space Station, and he let us know that ...
6It Will Kill You in Surprisingly Mundane Ways
I went blind for half an hour on my first spacewalk, which is every bit as worrisome as it sounds. You see, we have a water supply in our suits, because we'll be outside for eight hours at a time, and space station maintenance is thirsty work. A few drops got loose, picked up the anti-fog chemicals from my visor, and flew into my left eye.
My body did the natural thing, which was to try and flush the intruding droplets out with tears. But tears don't fall in space -- they just build up like a clogged drain. And they kept building up until I was blind in both eyes. It was like my head was stuck in a fishbowl. In space.
There's a reason aquavision never caught on as a superpower.
It was a weird experience, because pretty much all of my senses were useless to me. All I could do was talk. At first we thought there might be a gas leak in my suit, so I vented it, which is another way of saying that I got to float in space while utterly blind and listening to my oxygen hiss out into the universe. It's not an experience I can recommend, but I stayed calm -- moments like that are exactly why we go through so much training and place so much trust in each other in the first place.
After all, these situations aren't unheard of. Luca Parmitano came close to drowning in space when his water supply leaked into his helmet. The crew of the Russian space station Mir had to put out a fire while dealing with malfunctioning gas masks. And we all know the story of Apollo 13, although the true-life incident involved much less Tom Hanks.
Not that the real Jim Lovell was any less disarmingly likable.
Tragedy, of course, is not unknown to space exploration. Between Challenger, Columbia, Soyuz 1, and Soyuz 11, 18 astronauts have been killed on missions. Eleven more have died during training. Ground workers have also given their lives, including 48 who were killed during a single rocket fueling gone wrong. And then there's the long, harrowing list of close calls where we narrowly avoided disaster.
Now, I don't mention that to scare anyone into thinking that space travel isn't worth the risk, but to explain why we take the risks. When I sat on the launchpad, I knew there was about a 1 in 38 chance that I was about to be killed. Those are decent odds at the casino, but not the greatest when you're strapped to one of the most complicated machines ever built about to rip free from the bonds of Earth. I had no proof that the men and women responsible for my safety didn't rush through the job so they could cut out early for lunch, but because I trusted them, I knew that wasn't the case.
That's why I didn't panic when I went blind. It wasn't just because I have a long history of facing down dangerous situations like a mustachioed John McClane (although I do), but because I knew that no matter what happened, my crew and I would do the best we possibly could to deal with it. You'd be surprised by what sort of risks you're willing to take when you have knowledge, experience, and trust at your back.
5Going to the Bathroom in Space Is Awesome
"How do you go to the bathroom in space?" is one of the most common questions I'm asked, because no matter how old you are, pooping in space captures the imagination. It's actually rather simple.
Even if the apparatus is terrifying.
For the solid waste, air sucks it into storage, where it's exposed to the vacuum of space, which kills off any bacteria and neutralizes the smell. We have to brace ourselves in order to keep the digested remnants of our freeze-dried ice cream from floating off into the station, but other than a bit of an upward draft, it's rather comfortable. The waste is packed onto returning supply ships, which burn up when re-entering the Earth's atmosphere (so if you saw a shooting star in early 2013, you might have had me to thank, although I wouldn't recommend wishing upon it).
For urine, men use a funnel and women use a cup. These attach to a tube that sucks the urine into storage, where it's later converted into drinking water. It's expensive and impractical to bring water up to the station, so every drop of refinable liquid counts. And you can pee upside down, which I did, just for fun. Wouldn't you?
Canadian Space Agency
Just try not to overthink the whole process.
The real trick is knowing when you need to go. We all know what that feels like on Earth, but when there's no gravity to push waste downward through your body, it can't give you its regular cues. The first time I went to space, I was working away when I happened to notice that my stomach was swelling up like a balloon. Only then did I realize that it was time to go take care of some business.
But in general, space-bathroom technology has come a long way over the years. As Dan O'Brien once mentioned, some free-floating feces escaped into the cabin during Apollo 10, prompting the three men involved in mankind's most groundbreaking mission to date to point fingers at each other like third grade narcs. That's because Apollo 10 didn't have a toilet -- they went to the bathroom in bags, and when you're in a hurry, going number two in a bag is an imprecise science (as it is in any situation, really).
Eric Long/National Air & Space Museum
Although it's still preferable to the medieval torture device the Russians were dealing with.
Luckily, I only had a similar experience on the space shuttle once. I was working in the middeck and saw a piece of used toilet paper that had somehow escaped the vacuum of space go floating by. I had to grab a pair of rubber gloves and clean it up, which wasn't fun, but anyone who's raised kids has seen worse. It's all part of the job, and it's a small price to pay to pee upside down in space.

Put the butter, sugar, fruit, zests, juice and 100ml/3½fl oz brandy in a large pan. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring until the butter has melted. Reduce the heat and bubble for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 150C/gas 2/ fan 130C and line a 20cm round cake tin. Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan, tossing them until evenly browned, or in the oven for 8-10 minutes - keep an eye on them as they burn easily. When they are cool, chop roughly. Stir the eggs, nuts and ground almonds into the fruit mixture and mix well. Sift the flour, baking powder and spices into the pan. Stir in gently, until there are no traces of flour left.
Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth it down evenly - you will find this is easiest with the back of a metal spoon which has been dipped into boiling water.
Bake for 45 minutes, then turn down the heat to 140C/gas 1/ fan120C and cook for a further 1-1¼ hours (about a further 1¾ hours if you have a gas oven) until the cake is dark golden in appearance and firm to the touch. Cover the top of the cake with foil if it starts to darken too much. To check the cake is done, insert a fine skewer into the centre - if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.
Make holes all over the warm cake with a fine skewer and spoon the extra 4tbsp brandy over the holes until it has all soaked in. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. When it's cold, remove it from the tin, peel off the lining paper, then wrap first in baking parchment and then in foil. The cake will keep in a cupboard for up to three months or you can freeze it for six months.

I make this cake for the first time this year and so did exactly what it said - no extra feeding or fiddling (reckoning to try it straight before "fixing" it) 100% moist. Needs nothing - just follow the instructions (Actually, re-reading the recipe I think I may have forgotten the warm brandy bit at the end. If you are making this for children you could leave this out without worrying)
I made this cake. It was truly amazing. It was moist and delicious. It was so easy I made another one, to eat straight away. I put the 2nd batch into cupcake patties and then in a large muffin tin. These were excellent to bring out individually over Christmas, with a coffee when friends came over. I didn't have all of the ingredients for the 2nd batch, so modified the recipe to suit what i did have. They were still amazing. I forwarded the recipe to a number of friends. They loved it too. Thanks
Reading other comments, I wanted to add, that I didnt have brandy but found an unopened bottle of Artisan Butterscotch Mead in the back of the liquor cabinet, so used this instead. I also spiked the cake when it came out of the oven and drizzled the mead over it. I also left the original baking paper on the cake once cooled and then just wrapped more baking paper around it and then the tin foil. Then I put it in a tin and hid it in a cupboard, so no one ate it before christmas day. When I opened it, I could instantly tell it was going to be AMAZING (which it was). The paper peeled off perfectly, just as you would have expected it to. I also used Brazil nuts, but can imagine macadamia would have been amazing in it.
I have made this delicious cake at least six times last year since finding it online! An instant hit at home as well as with friends. Making it again today, however, I was wondering if there would be any difference in the taste and texture if the simmered fruit and brandy mixture is kept overnight! Timely suggestion would really make a huge difference......
This has just come out of the oven and appears to be rather splendid. However, to my mind they should tell you to prep the tin first, I did because I have done so before but if I was a beginner and I got to the end of the recipe to discover that a) I hadn't done my tin, and b) I didn't know how to, I would be panicking,.
Ok...so this is the first time I have made a Christmas Cake. Having looked at all the positive and helpful comments I decided to give this one a go. I used brandy soaked mixed fruit rather than add the brandy separately. I hope this approach works. I don't intend to 'feed' the cake so fingers crossed it remains moist. I have just taken the cake out of the oven and it smells amazing! I'm rating it on smell alone at this time!
Can't rate this just yet (it's in the oven) but trust the fact that fellow bakers have rated it so highly on this site. I've used Brazil nuts instead of Macadamias and a weird Spanish brandy imitation instead of brandy but will feed it with the genuine article because I know the flavour will be detectable. It feels right to be doing this on Stir Up Sunday despite it being later than my usual Christmas cake production!
Excellent recipe. So simple to follow, and makes a delicious moist fruitcake. I made this cake for my family last Christmas and have just baked another one for this year at their request. I feed with a tbsp of brandy once a week, alternating the feeding between the top of the cake and the bottom. This ensures the cake stays moist for months.
I am going to give this recipe a try this year rather than the Delia one I have baked for the last 6+ years. Just one question - does anyone have any tips re icing etc? I usually make my cake in October/November and feed every couple of weeks. I then marzipan it, leave it again and then ice it. Should I do the same with this one? I get the impression that this cake doesn't need to be made quite as far in advance as a traditional one. All help gratefully received.
I didn't make it too far in advance. I made it this time last year, fed it twice over a couple of weeks and marzipan'ed' it at the beginning of December then iced it the week before Christmas. It really is worth all the good reviews, not as heavy as the usual Christmas cakes you get. Highly recommended.

Tidal Energy
Tidal streams are caused by the twice-a-day rise and fall of the tides. As water flows in and out of estuaries, it carries energy. The amount of energy it is possible to extract depends on the speed of the flowing stream and the area intercepted, similar to wind-power extraction, but because water is much denser than air, an equivalent amount of power can be extracted over smaller areas and at slower velocities.
Nearly 400 billion gallons of water rush through the Golden Gate every day; the potential for tidal-energy generation in San Francisco Bay is massive. San Francisco's unique tidal energy resource is unmatched in California or anywhere else in the lower 48 states. The volume and speed of water passing through the Golden Gate, coupled with the depth of water below the bridge itself, provide a near-perfect setting for the deployment of a tidal energy generation system. In 2005, San Francisco took part in a study conducted by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) on the technical and economic feasibility of tidal power in seven areas in North America, including San Francisco.
The study conservatively estimated that the Golden Gate site has 35.5 megawatts of total extractable average annual power, and that 15 to 17 average megawatts (MW) of this power could realistically be extracted by technologies currently in development. The cost of electricity generated, assuming incentives similar to those provided to other renewable resources, is estimated at six to nine cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh)—a cost competitive with current wind and natural gas generation, and about one-third the cost per megawatt of solar power. Building a tidal energy project at the Golden Gate will help the city meet its growing energy needs from a clean, renewable, locally available source, and serve as a catalyst for other large-scale, innovative renewable energy projects not only around the state and country, but also for the rest of the world.
In September 2006, Mayor Newsom announced that the city would formally explore the possibility of generating clean energy through the power of the tides at the Golden Gate with a $150,000 feasibility study. The study looked at the range of potential issues, challenges, and opportunities of tidal power at the Golden Gate, including regulatory, technological, environmental, financial, and other issues.

Rumor Patrol: Andrew Garfield And Batkid, 'Mean Girls' Reunion, More
You can't go one week without hearing a ridiculous story involving some of your favorite celebrities. Thankfully, the Starpulse Rumor Patrol is here to sort out what's real and what's fake.
The Andrew Garfield-Batkid Situation: You may have heard the rumors swirling around the reason Batkid's surprise appearance at The Oscars was cut. Conflicting reports claim either Garfield had a fit over his lines and the producers cut the bit, or Emma Stone's mother was struggling with breast cancer so the actor dropped out to be with his girlfriend and her mom. What's the truth?
Verdict: Producers canceled the segment. A representative said in a statement, "In full collaboration with the Academy and the show writer, Andrew prepared a segment for the Oscars to honor Miles Scott as the true hero that he is. At some point overnight on Saturday/Sunday morning, it was decided by those running the show that the segment didn't work in the ceremony.
"They decided to pull it – Andrew and Miles were equally upset. The producers arranged for Miles and his family to visit Disneyland on Monday and Andrew drove down to visit them and to bring Miles a personal gift." Disneyland might be more fun for a 5-year-old, anyway.

text: That would get things part way there. Still, rather than having to setup copy for specific programs it would be nice to have a more generic setting with a logic to the effect of, "if you want to record a show and an existing show would have to be deleted to make room, move that show to be deleted over to a computer first." Essential, no...convienent, yes.

Last Friday night we braved the masses in the streets of Rosalie and after parking what seemed like a million miles away we walked back to Nash Street where the restaurants are located. Our destination was Rouj Modern Lebanese, a family owned casual restaurant which is clearly immensely popular. Bookings on weekends are at either 6pm or 8pm sittings, and we managed to nab the last table at 8pm. The restaurant is BYO and conveniently there is a bottle shop two doors up.
We were greeted by a fairly gruff Lebanese man who thought he was quite funny, and after clearing a table that was apparently meant for us, he never showed us to it… so we sat there anyway.
The food is best described as comforting and full of flavour and features lots of traditional favourites like baba ghanouj, various pastries, fattoush and kebabs.
For starters we shared the trio of dips ($15.50), hommus, baba ghanouj and labneh served with pita bread, olives and pickles. The baba ganouj was a clear standout, very smoky flavoured, whilst the hommus was very smooth and the labneh quite tart. Our only gripe was there wasn't enough pita bread for the amount of dip, we were offered more but then our plates were cleared rather than bringing out more bread!
Cheese fingers were our other shared starter (3 for $11.50). These were delicious, light pastry filled with haloumi, feta, onion, parsley and spices. We wished we had ordered a double serve.
Definitely come to Rouj with plenty of room in your stomach, by this time I was worried I wouldn't be able to get through my main.
L's Seayadiye ($28.50) was a panfried barramundi, served with brown rice, caramelised onion, cashews, pistachios, pinenuts, a side of tabouli and lemon. We were a bit concerned that the fish looked somewhat dry, but this appearance was quite decieving, the fish was very moist and succulent. I even really liked it, surprising as I am not usually a seafood eater.
My sister and I both had the Shawarma platter ($27.50), thin slices of marinated rib fillet served with tabouli, tahini, pickles and pita bread. My sisters platter came out with fattoush instead of tabouli and we swapped, as she preferred the tabouli whilst I wanted the fattoush. The meat was quite tasty and rich in spices, but I found it a bit dry in places and couldn't quite get through it all as predicted. The addition of pomegranate seeds was a great idea, adding a little pop of tart flavour which cut through the yoghurt and meat.
If you can brave parking in this area, you must pop in and give Rouj a go, its definitely one of the better Middle eastern cuisine restaurants in Brisbane. I felt pricing was a bit high for my main, service was sometimes inattentive, but the menu seems pretty solid. Must try are the cheese fingers!!

Film Review
The Descendants
Review by William Blizek
Vol. 16, No. 1, April 2012
The Descendants
[1] People interested in religion and film will find Alexander Payne's latest film, The Descendants, well worth watching. The Descendants is not about some formal or organized religion, but it takes up issues that religions around the world deal with as a matter of course—love and death, who we are and how we ought to live.
[2] Real estate magnate, Matt King, finds himself facing death—not his own death, but the death of his wife, Elizabeth, who is in a coma as a result of a boating incident, a coma from which she will never recover. Her own advanced directives require that she not be kept on life support and that her organs be donated to others. Before he knows that Elizabeth will not recover, Matt tells her that she has gotten his attention and that he will be a better husband and father. There is nothing like death to get us to pay attention to how we have lived our lives.
[3] Before Matt can deal with the death of his wife (and help his children deal with the death of their mother) there is a twist. It turns out that Elizabeth has been cheating on Matt with another real estate magnate. Now Matt has to deal with not only death, but also with love and betrayal. But this too requires Matt to question how he has lived his life. Did he spend too much time at work? Did he hoard his money? Did he keep his feelings hidden? What kind of person was Matt, that Elizabeth would seek the attention and affections of another man? There is nothing easy about asking these questions of ourselves.
[4] So, both death and love (or, in this case, betrayal) require us to consider how we have lived our lives and how we ought to live our lives. If Margaret Miles is correct, then the very questions asked by Matt King are the questions central to religion, where religion is understood not as an institution, but as a world view. "If religion is centrally about relationships, about a network of connections," Miles says in her book, Seeing and Believing, "then religion is also centrally and essentially about the values according to which people conduct their relationships."
[5] While most of the movie focuses upon death and love, there are two small religious themes that run through the film. The movie is set in Hawaii, sometimes called paradise. But paradise is also a place we go after we die—the ultimate vacation destination. The paradise in which Matt King lives, however, is not the kind of place we usually associate with paradise. Matt's life in Hawaii is complicated, difficult, painful, and messy. Maybe there is no paradise, no happy place we go after we die. Maybe this life is all we have and we had better live it well or we will have wasted the only opportunity we get to "live life."
[6] Finally, the title of the film refers to the fact that Matt King must decide whether or not to sell a large parcel of land that has been passed down to him from earlier generations. All of the other members of the family want to sell the land because it will make them rich. But, as Matt notes, they have not done anything to deserve the land. They have been given the land to protect. In the end, Matt decides not to sell the land. He has seven years in which to figure out how to keep the land as it is. We are all descendants, of course, and this feature of the movie brings to mind the growing interest among various religious groups in being good stewards of the land that we have inherited—rather than ravaging the land for our own personal gain.

I'm jealous! That's awesome. I'm not near any U-pick farms, but sometimes if I go to the farmer's market at the end of the day-usually at noon-1pm on Saturday, I can get good buys on whatever is in season and they have a lot left over-also if it rains that day because not many peole come out and if the picked produce gets wet it needs to be used soon. I did get a flat of strawberries for $10 at the height of the season and made freezer jam and froze a lot of them for later use.

Most of us have heard the outcry over the very recent Planned Parenthood/Susan G. Komen conflict. The conflict started with the Foundation's announcement that it had instituted a new policy, which would refuse funding to organizations under Congressional investigation, making Planned Parenthood no longer eligible for a renewed Foundation grant.
In a popular turn of events, the Foundation went on the record to say that it will only refuse funding for organizations after investigations have proven "criminal and conclusive in nature." At the exact moment Susan G. Komen released the news, Indiewire was speaking with 2011 Toronto International Film Festival Pink Ribbons, Inc. producer Ravida Din about how her film helps to contextualize the world of pink capitalism and philanthropy.
Pink Ribbons, Inc. critiques the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the industry surrounding the pink ribbon campaign for turning cancer into a marketing ploy. It also takes the big pink-ribbon players to task for concentrating funding on the pharmaceutical industry and preventive measures that ignore problems that would change the way some people do business. The film opens in Canada this weekend, in conjunction with World Cancer Day, and will head to a few festivals in the coming months.
Luckily, PIFF35 is one of the few! See Pink Ribbons, Inc on Wednesday February 22 at 8:30 PM (Cinema 21) and Saturday February 25 at 3:30 PM (Whitsell Auditorium).
The above is a summary taken from a recent Indiewire article by Bryce J. Renninger. To view Renninger's piece in its entirety go here. To buy tickets to see the film at PIFF go here.
