While Kate Middleton waits patiently for Prince William to propose, another one of her closest friends, Emilia d'Erlanger, has become engaged. The 27 year-old will marry David Jardine-Paterson, 28, next year, reports The Telegraph.
Now let's dig deeper into the royals' inner circle of friends…
Who is Emilia?
The youngest of 5 children, Emilia Mary Florence d'Erlanger has been linked to William in their late teens. She first drew attention in 1999 when she joined Wills in a summer holiday cruise around the Greek Islands called the "love boat." Like Kate Middleton, she studied at Marlborough College and headed to either St. Andrews or Edinburgh University to read History of Art. So is Emilia primarily Wills' or Kate's friend? I guess the answer is both. She's seems to have remained in their inner circle of trusted friends over the years, and was once photographed with Harry during a polo match in 2001.
During William & Kate's brief split in 2007, Emilia accompanied Kate to Ibiza for a holiday. Here's a picture of them attending Lady Rose Windsor's wedding in July 2008 (right).
Emilia co-owns the interior design company d'Erlanger and Sloan based in London.
Her fiance David Jardine-Paterson is scion of a Scots landed family. Is he related to Pippa (Kate's sister) Middleton's ex JJ Jardine-Paterson? Most probably!
So I guess the real tickler is: Now that their friends are starting to settle down, will William finally pop the question? Don't hold your breath just yet…

FINALLY! A much needed break in the rain!
This morning Jonathan and I headed out for his Senior Portrait Session, which was a lot of fun! We started out down by the river and then made our way around various parts of Monroe.
I first met Jonathan about 3 years after photographing his older brother's senior portraits and then later doing a shoot for Jonathan. I can't believe we have already arrived to his graduation year. Time and gone by too quickly!
Congratulations Jonathan, on your graduation from Carnation H.S. as well as graduating with your A.A from Cascadia! Thank you for asking me to be a part of such a special time in your life!!

Have you tried Hangar One's Spiced Pear? It is not merely a flavored vodka, but rather happiness in a glass. Doesn't even need ice cubes. Out of control delish. I think it's pricey, but I don't know since my bartender friend just kept feeding it to me and the whole scene ended up in me almost not being able to get into another bar and both my boyfriend and brother agreeing with the bouncer that I was too drunk. Assuming you can master moderation, get some of that stuff on your fancy liquor rotation.

I really like Hangar One's vodkas in general. Never tried Spiced Pear. Their kaffir lime vodka is deadly good.

Women who have a high level of insulin have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who have a lower level of the hormone.
Obesity is a known risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer. This relationship has been attributed to the high estrogen levels in many obese postmenopausal women. Obesity is also associated with high insulin levels. However, it is not known whether high levels of insulin, which stimulates the growth of breast cells in tissue culture, are also associated with breast cancer. The current investigation was the first study to prospectively examine the role of insulin in breast cancer while controlling for estrogen levels.
In the current study, Marc Gunter, Ph.D., and Howard Strickler, M.D., of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and colleagues, examined the association between incident breast cancer and baseline fasting insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (a related hormone), and estradiol levels in 835 women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study who developed breast cancer and a randomly-selected sample of 816 women in the study who did not develop breast cancer.
When the researchers divided the women into four groups based on their fasting insulin levels, they found that women with the highest insulin levels had nearly a 1.5-fold higher risk of developing breast cancer than the women with the lowest insulin levels. Further, the investigators separately analyzed women who were not using hormone therapy and found that, in these women, those individuals with the highest insulin levels had a 2.4-fold increased risk of developing breast cancer compared to those with the lowest levels, even after accounting for multiple other breast cancer risk factors, including estrogen levels.
"These data suggest that hyperinsulinemia is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and may have a substantial role in explaining the obesity-breast cancer relationship," the authors conclude.
This research is published in the December 30 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Bend campus parking plans spark debate
OSU-Cascades' planned 300 spaces sound like far too few to many
BEND, Ore. - "It's pretty much horrible. Every day all three terms I've been here I drive around here and it takes forever to park," OSU-Cascades student Stephen Horne said Monday.
For those who believe parking at OSU-Cascades is bad, it might be getting even worse.
The university is expanding and is expecting an increase of 800 students in coming years, to nearly 1,900 total at full build-out of the new Westside campus.
"I believe we've set a parking number that will be sufficient to meet our campus needs," said Kelly Sparks, associate vice president for finance and strategic planning at OSU-Cascades. "It has a 15 percent range on either side, so we will always be in monitoring mode."
OSU-Cascades hired an external consultant firm to calculate the exact number of parking spots needed.
They say the actual number of students on campus varies dramatically, since students' schedules differ.
But the numbers make little sense to those on campus.
"I'm a bit worried about the parking, to be honest, because already people line the streets and park in the neighborhoods.," said student Sydney Scout.
University officials say they already have a plan in place to prevent students from parking ob business or residential streets.
"To monitor the parking on the public streets and to build a monitoring program in those business parking lots," said Sparks.
The future at OSU-Cascades is pointing at alternative transportation methods, away from cars, to bikes, walking and public transportation.
"Not everyone can walk or bike like," Scout said. "We have a lot of students from Redmond or Prineville or something just driving up here."
OSU-Cascades is working to expand bus and shuttle services to campus.
In the winter months, they are making sure sidewalks are cleared. They also want to encourage students to carpool, all in the name of sustainability.
"It reduces emissions, it reduces the amount of concrete that you put on a natural landscape," Sparks said. "So we really started with setting our visions and our goals around sustainability."
Sparks said they believe the number of parking spots will be enough but they plan to constantly monitor the situation.
They also say are open to comments from the community -- and if there is a need for additional parking, they will add more.

In need of a gasket, have no idea where to look.
Hey guys.
I had just bought my Turbosmart Street Unit BPV from a friend.
He originally had it on a Mazdaspeed 3. He said he used his stock gasket because when he had bought it from TS, they never sent him one. Now my Subaru WRX has the OH SO AWESOME plastic BPV and as you may know its rubber gasket is the most retarded thing I have ever seen in my life.
I've been looking and looking and I cannot seem to find the gasket I need anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas!?
Go to vendors right here on the forum and hit up ProImport Tuners. I'm quite sure he'll have one for you.
[color=gray]Sent from [url=http://www.autoguide.com/mobile]AutoGuide.com App[/url][/color]
I used gasket maker that I found at autozone and applied a sealant with it.
Our vendor may have the correct one though.

Wow, I searched the forum and didn't find anything on changing out your turbo; thats amazing.
Anyways, when you're swapping out the turbo is it a pretty straight forward deal? unbolt and rebolt? or do i have to worry about clamping any of the oil/coolant hoses or do they drain out once the car's off?
I broke a stud off in my stock tdo4 and im thinking of just getting another used stock tdo4 and swapping it. I'll figure out how to get the stud out (probably with vise-grips) and sell it.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – J.A. Happ was hospitalized in stable condition Tuesday night and the Toronto Blue Jays were awaiting word on test results for their left-hander after he took a scorching line drive off the left side of his head.
The stomach-turning incident cast a pall over a 6-4 comeback win over the Tampa Bay Rays as a sombre Blue Jays clubhouse post-game was weighed down by concern for their injured teammate.
Manager John Gibbons had little to offer about his condition beyond the running of tests on Happ to assess the extent of the damage, while word filtered out to players that he was alert.
"From what it sounds like so far, he's in stable condition, he's conscious and that's all we know," said Jose Bautista. "We're hoping he recovers well and it doesn't get serious. There's always a chance of concussion when you hit your head like that, and we're hoping he doesn't get any symptoms like that."
Happ was struck in the second inning by a drive off the bat of Desmond Jennings, and immediately crumpled face-down to the mound, cupping the left side of his head around the ear, blood trickling onto his hand.
Bautista, first baseman Edwin Encarnacion and catcher J.P. Arencibia were among the players who had to fight the urge to run right towards Happ because the play was still alive, with Encarnacion having to retrieve the ball after it ricocheted into foul territory toward right field.
Manager John Gibbons and trainer George Poulis both jumped out of the dugout but had to pause until two runners scored and Jennings reached third base.
It was an awful position for everyone to be caught in, as the game became an afterthought.
"The instinct is that you want to run out there and try to help him but the ball's live, guys are running home," said Arencibia. "So I was in between, wanting to run out there, trying to stay home, and as soon as (Jennings) got to third base I ran out there. …
"It's a gut-wrenching feeling when you see something like that happen. I saw Desmond Jennings too as soon as he hit him and he even winced and he's got to run."
Trainers and paramedics worked on Happ for roughly 10 minutes, immobilizing him before carting him off for transport to hospital. Ashen-faced players sat still in both dugouts as he was tended to, while a crowd of 10,273 at Tropicana Field was virtually silent.
Arencibia, among the handful of players who stayed near the mound as treatment was given, said Happ was responsive and talking to the people around him.
A loud round of applause erupted when Happ was taken off the field, ending an 11-minute delay.
"I was down there trying to get loose and keep my thoughts on him at the same time," said Brad Lincoln, who began warming up before Happ was on the stretcher and was the first of four relievers to follow him in. "That was probably the most difficult part, just being able to try and lock in right there.
"As soon as it happened we all said a prayer for him and it's a part of the game, unfortunately, it happens and you've just got to be able to move on from it and start concentrating on getting in there and pitching."
Still, the moment was jarring for all in attendance, particularly the sound, which R.A. Dickey described as the ball hitting another bat.
"It's scary, it is really scary," said Dickey. I just started praying on the spot. That's all I knew to do."
Added Bautista: "By the loudness of the sound, I got pretty scared for him. I started running in toward the mound, then I saw the ball so I went after the ball after that, it was one of those moments where you don't really know what to do. You know that the play is still alive, but you want to go aid your teammate. It was tough."
Seeing Happ's injury sucked the life from the Blue Jays dugout for several innings, but they got a spark in the seventh when Colby Rasmus hit a two-run homer and eventually erased a 4-1 deficit in the victory.
Players routinely asked Poulis for any updates on Happ's condition.
"It took us a few innings to regroup," said Adam Lind. "The energy in the dugout was very sad, we weren't really in the mood, that was obvious. Then we got some hits, and that got our mind off things that were bad and pointed in the right direction."
The pitchers, who are most directly in the line of fire, didn't have the same luxury with Lincoln, Aaron Loup, Steve Delabar and Casey Janssen closing it out.
Those who didn't take the mound had more time to contemplate it, although most understand they have to keep such thoughts from their mind.
"You certainly know it's a possibility," said Dickey. "Every time you get in the car, you know there's a possibility you could get hit by another car, you don't think about it, but you know it's a possibility. If you dwell on that, who knows how that would manifest in your mechanics or your mentality attacking hitters. I've never really thought about it."
The incident was reminiscent of one last Sept. 5, when Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon McCarthy, then of the Oakland Athletics, was struck on the right side of the head by a liner off the bat of Los Angeles Angels infielder Erick Aybar, and underwent surgery the next day to relieve pressure on his brain.
His wife, Amanda McCarthy, sent out a message of support to Happ on Twitter after the incident.
Just got back on twitter. Thoughts go out to Happ and his family. Such a scary moment...
— Amanda McCarthy (@Mrs_McCarthy32) May 8, 2013
Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Brad Ziegler, who suffered a skull fracture in 2004 but didn't need surgery, was also among the many big-leaguers past and present to send out their best wishes.

Deck Cleaner?
I powerwashed my deck two weeks ago and am planning on sealing it with Behr waterproofing wood finish, oil formula in a cedartone. I was hoping I didn't have to use a spray on cleaner beforehand. What would happen if I didn't?
Thanks for your help.
Power washing generally does a pretty doggone good job of cleaning. As long as the deck appears to be clean, then nothing should happen.
As a side note, do a search for Behr products in the painting forum... you may change your product choice after reading some of the reviews. I've used Olympic Stains with great results. Other opinions my vary.

Sustainable Development Framework for Local Governance
Over the past sixty years, the concept of development has expanded from economic growth and investment, to poverty reduction, human development, sustainable development, and more recently to institutional development. There has also been a fresh look at industrial policy and the role of the nonfarm economy. These aspects of development are not only important in their own right but are very much interrelated. National development experience shows the importance of investment and infrastructure to growth; the significance of growth, infrastructure and human development to poverty reduction; the contribution of growth and human development to sustainable development; the effect of nonfarm incomes to growth, poverty reduction, and inequality; and the importance of institutions to growth. Local development experience also reveals the interrelatedness of the different development aspects : the importance of investment, infrastructure and human capital to growth and poverty reduction; the role of health to human capital; the significance of human capital to poverty and inequality; the value of human development, institutions and good governance to sustainable development; the importance of human capital to enterprise development; and in turn of enterprise development to investment and therefore growth as well as to poverty reduction; the contribution of nonfarm incomes to growth and poverty reduction; and the importance of governance to poverty reduction and human development. To promote local development in its various aspects, local governments play crucial roles : supplementing education investments; providing infrastructure services through private and community involvement; providing for public health care especially for the poor; making more social services accessible to the poor; monitoring, regulating and properly taxing natural resource depletion and environmental damage and promoting sustainable local management systems; promoting industrial clustering and enterprise development; fostering the development of the nonfarm economy; managing development through improved planning, budgeting, and financing; and in all aspects understanding local needs.

When the weather brought blankets of snow to campus, Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger, in the spirit of the season, decided to hold a snow sculpture contest, promising prizes and awards to the coolest creations.
After a great response from our students, it's time to announce the winners of Binghamton University's 2016 Snow Sculpture Contest! The competition was rough and the stakes were high, but only a few could become (drumroll) ... Binghamton's Next Top Snowman. Here are the winners and their respective categories.

When Jesse Cole came to Binghamton, he discovered that his favorite part of his major, biology, was the nervous system. Choosing neuroscience as his new major was a no-brainer (pun intended).

Office Time Killer: Classic Mrs Pac-man
I am a huge fan of the classic arcade games. Of course the Pac-man series are arguably the most famous ever. I remember many… many hours and quarters spent (from my allowance) at my local arcade trying to get to the red dots. We would meet up for tournaments once a week. Back then we didn't have "LAN Party's" we had pockets full of quarters and pitchers of Mountain Dew to last us until the owners kicked us out. So while at work today, go ahead and spend a few minutes down memory lane and play what I think is the best Mrs. Pac-man emulation on the web. From 1980-games.com but make sure not to start kicking your computer when Blinky gets you!

World economy in a depressed condition:
By Lalin FERNANDOPULLE
The world economy is in a depressed condition in the current year
mainly due to the Sovereign Debt crisis in the Euro Zone, but emerging
conditions show a slow recovery next year said Senior Lecturer,
Economics, University of Colombo Prof. Sirimal Abeyratne.
He said that the world economy made a strong recovery from the US
financial crisis recording 5.3 percent economic growth in 2010, but
started to slow down thereafter, recording a 3.9 percent growth last
year. The world economic growth will slow down further to 3.5 percent
this year, according to the IMF World Economic Outlook Projections
(April 2012).
Prof.Abeyratne said that while the US economy is likely to improve
its output growth, the economy of the Euro Zone is heading towards a
The US and the Euro Zone which together account for about half of the
world output (despite less than 10% population) have a bearing impact
over the rest of the world.
Therefore as pluses and minuses get cancelled, the net growth outcome
would be too small to make a substantial contribution to the economies
of the rest of the world."However,along with the US economy, some other
advanced countries, including Japan and UK, are likely to improve their
output growth this year", he said. The intervention of the European
Central Bank in providing refinancing operations and the fiscal reform
programs of the European governments appear to have eased the debt
Although, the current year 2012 is due to suffer from the Euro
crisis, with an improvement in investor confidence the Euro Zone is on a
slow recovery path.
"The threat of a sharp global slowdown eased with improved activity
in the United States and better policies in the euro area.
Weak recovery will likely resume in the major advanced economies, and
activity will remain relatively solid in most emerging and developing
economies. However, recent improvements are very fragile" the Outlook
Given the gloomy economic outlook of the world economy, the
developing countries in the Asian region have also revised their growth
projections downward.
Developing Asia is currently the fastest growing region in the world,
while the higher growth of the two largest economies in the world (China
and India) sustains growth of the Asian region. Along with other
countries in the region, Sri Lanka has also downgraded its growth
targets for the year 2012.The Central Bank downgraded Sri Lanka's
economic growth this year to 7.2 percent from its forecast eight
percent.Economic growth in Germany will slump from 2.7 percent to 1.3,
France from 1.7 percent to 1.4, Italy from 0.6 to 0.3, China from 9.5 to
9.0, India from 7.8 to 7.5, Latin America and the Caribbean from 4.5 to
4.0 and the Middle East and North Africa from 4.0 to 3.6 percent,
according to the IMF.
Prof. Abeyratne said that the current economic downturn in the world
as well as the volatile nature of the world economy experienced in the
past few years have led the developing countries such as Sri Lanka to
choose between two alternative policy options: the first is the greater
reliance on the "domestic" economic activities in the context of
increased protectionism, anticipating to avoid adversaries of the
external shocks; the second is the greater integration with the global
economy through trade and investment, anticipating to stand strong
against external shocks.

Razer2035 Corte Del Nogal #160 Carlsbad, California USA
Razer Razer Refused To Bear the Return Freight. Carlsbad California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On Aug 02, I placed my order on razerzone with one Banshee headset and one Naga 2014 Left Hand Mouse. My package was not shipped until Aug 09 and was not delivered until Aug 15. After this very long time of waiting(13 days), I received this mouse. But when I opened the box, feet of the mouse is already scratched.
To make things worse, the cursor may suddenly freeze or drift at a very high frequency. The only solution is to restart my PC, and wait for it stuck or drift again. In conclusion, the mouse cannot be used at all.
So I send my refund application on Aug 18, and had not received any reply until Aug 25(7 days). The reason is "We apologize for the delay due to the high support demand recently". It sounds like "Sorry, but we have so many compliant and you are still in the queue". And finally, today(Aug 28) they replied me that "you will need to bear the shipping cost". It is ridiculous because this is like to say "your fault to choose our broken product"
I think this is obvious fraud. Razer's slow reply and arrogant attitude shows their irresponsibility. So I want to get my money back.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has refused to acknowledge Manchester City as the favourites to win a fiercely competitive Premier League title race.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are widely tipped to regain the league title in May despite currently sitting one-point shy of Wenger's pace-setters in second place.
But the Gunners boss has declared the fight for top spot wide open amid Jose Mourinho's assertion that City are clear favourites.
"Do you believe him (Mourinho) that City are favourites? Not more than Chelsea, for me, or Man United," said Wenger, whose side were thumped 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium on December 14.
"They have the squad, yes, they have a squad of names who can pretend to win it, but at the end of the day, it is down to what we do on the pitch.
"Are they, at the moment, completely unbeatable? Not for me.
"They have lost a number of games as well away from home. Man City have played one more game at home, than away. We have played one more game away, than at home, so it is open."
And Wenger has admitted his Arsenal side – who were seven points clear at the top following victory over Cardiff City in November – have suffered a minor dip in results but his players are hungry for success.
"We have a bit less pressure because everyone expects us to fail," he said.
"Consistency is not coincidence."
"We had a little blip, I don't deny that. After (losing 2-0 away in the Champions League in) Naples, we lost six against Man City, that is where everybody questioned us.
"After that it was important at least not to lose against Chelsea, so we were recovered from that.
"These players have a classy attitude, they are hungry, they want it and are ready to go for it."
Wenger expects full-back Bacary Sagna to take up the offer of a contract extension early in the new year, with the France international otherwise a free agent in the summer and as such so could now agree a move abroad.
"We are not far," said Wenger. "I will push very hard to get it done, yes.
"We cannot stop him from doing that (signing a pre-contract agreement to leave).
"But for me, that is not a problem because when you are a professional football player, you do until the last day, of where you are, your best. If you don't do that, you are not professional for me.
"I don't question Sagna's commitment until the last day of his contract."
Wenger is himself in negotiations with the club over a new deal.
However, the 64-year-old continues to deflect any questions over just when that will be signed.
"I want to do well for the club and feel that I can help the club to move forward. My commitment is no question for this club," he said,
Arsenal will be without injured forward Olivier Giroud against Cardiff on New Year's Day.
Lukas Podolski, who scored on his return from a four-month injury lay-off at West Ham on Boxing Day, or Nicklas Bendtner are likely to lead the attack in the Frenchman's absence.
Wenger said: "It is not linked with the individual quality of one or the other, it is more linked with the balance I can find around the team - do I need a wide player who is a winger if (Theo) Walcott doesn't play and things like that."

I made up 3 nuc splits Sunday a week ago in preparation of receiving some new VSH queens I'd ordered on Thursday. The queens were sent out and I received them on Wednesday and all 3 queens looked well. I placed them, in their cages into the nucs Wednesday am and quickly received what appeared to be a 'warm' reception by all the nucs. I checked on them Saturday afternoon to see their progression and 2 were almost out of their cages and 1 was already out. I looked around the hive to see where she might be and noticed what appeared to be a 'balling' of the new queen with 5 to 10 bees surrounding her. I tried to move the bees 'off' her - but they quickly covered her back. I also noticed that the attendants, or at least 3 of them were dead in the cage. Is it possible that the queen got released too early and they attacked and killed her? I tried to locate her yesterday but wasn't able to. I know, with 100% certaintenty that there wasn't a queen in this nuc split or the other 2 because of the following ..
nuc1 - the one in question - made up of new brood moved over
nuc2 - no queen for 2 weeks with new brood added
nuc3 - pinched unproductive queen.
I guess I can order another queen but was going to give all 3 nucs a few more days to see if I could locate the queens - but more importantly see if there is some eggs or larva before I order another one. I could also combine this nuc, but was hoping to get another nuc ready for overwintering ... just in case. I called the person I ordered the queens from and he suggested I wait a few more days and perhaps it's be ok. He said he'd work with me if there was an issue. What does that really mean, and what options do I have for the existing nuc - other that adding another queen. I don't believe it is the 'queen breeders' fault - just strange that I say this as I know there wasn't a queen in there and this isn't a 'swarm/supercedure' environment. I've always had Italian or Carnelian bees in the past, so don't know if this has any merit or not ...
thanks -

OSLO, Norway — German chemical and pharmaceutical giant Bayer plans to buy Norwegian drug maker Algeta for $2.4 billion, Algeta confirmed Tuesday.
Responding to earlier media reports, the Norway-based maker of cancer drugs said Bayer would acquire it for 336 krone per share, equal to about $55.05. The company's share price increased to 349.40 krone, or $57.21 per share, in late-afternoon trading Tuesday on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
The two companies signed an $800 million drug development deal in September 2009. Most recently, the Food and Drug Administration approved their drug Xofigo (radium Ra 223 dichloride), for late-stage prostate cancer, in May of this year.

text: Tyree's catch definitely is up there as one of the greatest plays in the history of the NFL. JPP's field goal block is my personal favorite though... Just like the previous game vs the packers, Eli had posted a tremendous comeback to put the Giants ahead, and then the opposing team was driving for a FG. Except this time JPP was there to block it and reverse a 4-game losing streak, and in the end saved the season.

The Jungle Book (Disney's) Parent Review
Movie Review
Have you ever wondered if wild animals raised your children? Despite wolfing down their food at the dinner table and horsing around in the living room, they just might turn out all right -- as we discover in Disney's swinging tale, The Jungle Book.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Deep in the heart of the Indian jungle, a sleek black panther known as Bagheera (voice of Sebastian Cabot) hears a strange cry. Curious, the cautious cat investigates the river's shoreline until he finds its origins: a lone human baby in a broken boat. Knowing the orphan will die without nourishment, Bagheera plays stork and delivers the helpless babe to a wolf family with a newborn litter of cubs. Thanks to maternal instincts, the infant now called Mowgli (voice of Bruce Reitherman) is adopted into the household and becomes a favorite amongst the pups. But the blissful world provided by the boy's animal friends is threatened by the arrival of Sher Khan (voice of George Sanders), a menacing tiger with a vengeance for humans.
After holding a council, the elders of the pack vote the man cub out of the jungle for his own protection. It is then up to Bagheera to deliver Mowgli safely to the nearest man-village. Unfortunately, the overconfident and disrespectful lad doesn't understand his imminent danger. Giving his guardian a run for his rupees, the cheeky chap teams up with happy-go-lucky Baloo the Bear (voice of Phil Harris). Although the duo is quick to 'get with the beat', their lackadaisical lifestyle lands them in plenty of hot water as they make their way through the labyrinth of vegetation filled with musical misadventures and narrow escapes.
The Jungle Book has become more than just a 'bare necessity' for your family's video library. Along with jazzy monkeys and an elephant brigade that takes a poke at Great Britain's past military presence, Mowgli's wanderings are interwoven with lessons of friendship and responsibility. Disney borrows many great elements from several of Rudyard Kipling's classic stories to bring the steamy jungle, full of boisterously entertaining personalities, to life. Rest assured that your wrestling cubs will unanimously vote for this family favorite you loved when you were a young wild animal yourself.Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman. Starring Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders. Running time: 78 minutes. Theatrical release December 7, 1967. Updated January 27, 2016
The Jungle Book (Disney's) Parents Guide
Bagheera and Baloo love Mowgli, yet each has a different idea about what would be best for his future. Although Bagheera's approach seems harsh while Baloo's appears idyllic, what do you think the results of each method would be? Why is the hard way often the best way?
Psychologists often debate over what has more influence in our lives: Nature (what we are born like) or nurture (how we are raised). This tug-of-war is played out in the extreme case presented here because Mowgli was born human, yet raised as a wolf. Which of these two factors has the greatest influence on who you are?

East Carolina 55, North Carolina 31
• UNC is now 7-2 at Kenan Stadium under Larry Fedora, with losses coming against Georgia Tech (2012) and ECU.
• The 86 combined points are the most in the history of the series (previous was 65 in a 34-31 Pirate win in 2007). The 55 points are the most by the Pirates in the series (previous was 38 in 1975).
ECU ran 101 plays, most ever by an opponent against the Tar Heels. The previous high was 95 by Maryland in 1992.
• The 180 combined plays from scrimmage are the most in any UNC game. The previous high was 172 in 1992 in a Tar Heel win at Maryland.
• The Pirates gained 603 yards, the eighth-most in any game against UNC and the second-most by an opponent in Kenan Stadium (656 by Duke in 1989).
• The 55 points are the third-most scored by the opposition in Kenan Stadium (68 by Georgia Tech in 2012 and 59 by Maryland in 2002).
• QB Bryn Renner completed 28 of 46 passes for a career-high 366 yards and three touchdowns. Renner has 61 career touchdown passes, passing T.J. Yates for second in school history. Renner is seven shy of UNC's all-time mark of 68 set by Darian Durant from 2001-04.
• Today marked the 10th career game in which Renner has thrown at least three touchdown passes. It was also his 10th career game with 300 or more passing yards, extending his own school record.
• Renner ranks 24th in ACC history in career passing yards with 7,573. He passed Maryland's Scott Milanovich, Wake Forest's Mike Elkins, NC State's Mike Glennon, Virginia's Matt Schaub and Florida State's Drew Weatherford in today's game.
• The teams combined for 1,068 yards of total offense - 603 by East Carolina and 465 by the Tar Heels.
• WR Quinshad Davis threw his first career touchdown pass in the first half, a 32-yard completion to T.J. Thorpe. It was Davis's first career pass attempt.
• Davis caught five passes for 111 yards, his fourth career 100-yard receiving game and his first such-game this season.
• Thorpe's touchdown was his first since returning a kickoff 100 yards for a score at Clemson in 2011. It was his first career touchdown reception.
• WR Nic Platt scored his first career touchdown, a 23-yard catch and run in the third quarter. The touchdown was Platt's first reception of the season.
• S Tre Boston picked up his second interception of the season and the 10th of his career in the first half. • Carolina now has four interceptions on the year and Boston's two leads the team.

Data Visualizations that Pack a Punch
August 2013
85 minutes
- Pick the right tool for the data you're designing
- Follow a plan that increases the lifespan of your visualization
- Use HTML, CSS, and Javascript/jQuery to create interactivity
- Make your data visualizations more powerful
- Topics:
How interesting or compelling are static Excel-based bar charts? Not very.
No one knows this better than Brian Suda. His work with companies such as PriceWaterhouseCoopers is defining just how powerful great data visualizations can be—especially when they're tied to marketing or social-media campaigns aimed at raising awareness, conveying meaning, and getting users to interact.
Pick the right tool for the data you're designing
- Go from jpeg to infographic to data visualization to simulation
- Find out how high-resolution retina displays affect interactivity
Follow a plan that increases the lifespan of your visualization
- Learn which skills are vital to creating great data visualizations
- Focus on making functional tools that fit shareable media like blogs
Use HTML, CSS, and Javascript/jQuery to create interactivity
- Hear why coding saves time while increasing SEO value
- Show/hide, sort, or filter what's in your data tables
Make your data visualizations more powerful
- Create dashboards and map data like a pro
- See what bleeding-edge tools (like 3D printing) are coming soon
Watch this seminar if you:
- Work for a company that sits on vast amounts of data—but spends entirely too much time making static images rather than interactive tools
- Want to learn some tools and coding techniques for creating data visualizations that are the opposite of boring
- Have mapped data or created visualizations that aren't being looked at, used, or appreciated
Watch the preview
Brian explains what you'll learn in this 90‑second preview…
Why Brian?
Ok. We know you might already have read A Practical Guide to Designing with Data, Brian Suda's book on information design, which was published in 2010 by Five Simple Steps.
And we're guessing you've probably used some of his incredibly practical tools and templates, such as his color tests or microformats cheat sheet, in your own work. Or perhaps you've gained inspiration and direction from some of Brian's masterful work designing information for companies like PwC.
But we know you haven't heard this seminar. And we also know that once you do, you'll never look at data visualizations the same way again. Which - for what soon-will-be your many adoring fans - is a very good thing. Follow Brian on Twitter @briansuda.

" Brand: New Look / Type: Jumper "
Elbow patches are really in fashion this season and due to how fashion concious I am I set out in search for a nice jumper that had the elbow patch detailing. Alot of these type of jumpers are very expensive, and the New Look version was the only (reasonably) cheap but decent one I could find. As far as I know Primark don't have these in stock yet, but I can't imagine that they'd be much cheaper than the New Look one as Primark have ridiculously increased their prices. I paid £20 for this and bought it in my local New Look store however it is also available on the New Look website. I don't think £20 is a bad price as it's nice and warm so it'll be a nice jumper for in the winter and it looks good too.
The design is pretty simple, it's a long sleeved jumper with a slight scooped neck and elbow pads. The elbow pads are brown in colour and resemble leather, it does definetly look alot more expensive than it actually is. The jumper is a nice creamy colour and it has speckles all over it adding a nice unusual, indie look which I love. The neckline and hem have ribbed detailing which I also really like. The jumper is quite long on me (comes mid-thigh), i'm only 5'3 and I didn't realise that the girl modelling it on the New Look website was 5'8 so I was a bit dissapointed as I expected it to be very slightly cropped, however this is my own fault for not reading the product description properly. The product description on the New Look site does sum this jumper up well - "Embrace all things English heritage with this stone flecked jumper. It features brown suede style elbow patches with button shoulders and eibbed waistband, neck and cuffs. Wear with skinny jeans and brogues to compliment the simplicity of this classic style."
The jumper is soft and smooth with a very lightweight feel to it, it's 98 percent cotton and 2 percent vicose. Although it's lightweight it does keep me warm as long as I layer it with a vest underneath. The jumper's well fitting and quite clingy, which I personally like, but if you want it oversized i'd reccomend getting around 2 sizes bigger than your usual size. Sizes available: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18. The jumper is nice and versatile and can be matched with pretty much anything.. jeans, shorts, leggings, probably not skirts though as that'd look slightly weird due to the length of the jumper unless you're tall. Washing the jumper is easy as it is machine washable, New Look reccomend to wash at 30 degrees but I wash mine at around 40 and it's absolutely fine, no shrinking or bobbling at all.
Overall, an affordable and fashionable jumper which is of good quality. Reccomended

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I've gone and done it now- signed up for a 10k December 15 and a Half Marathon next April. My latest PB was 7.5km in 42 minutes, yesterday morning. My goal is to go under an hour in the 10k and under 2:10 in the half marathon, but I'm very time-constrained in terms of training, to the extent that Monday- Saturday I can generally only dedicate a bit more than an hour in total- including getting changed, showering, warming up and down- and then usually only 4 times a week total, although Sundays I have no time restrictions. Any advice appreciated.
I also have to add- it's all hills where I live, and rough stuff- stony dirt tracks. Aforementioned time constraints put me off drving elsewhere to run, apart from at the weekend.
Oh, and, I'm 37 soon to be 38, and overweight. I had some brief flirtations with running in the past but this time I decided to take it seriously, and have been slowly improving for the last year and a half or so. In fact, thinking back it is actually a case of a new years resolution being stuck to for once, kind of. I went for a long New Year's Day walk in 2012, and was worn out, hips aching and so on, and thought I'd better start turning things around.
OK, first time table your day and see if any thing fits in either early morning or evenings. For what you're after I wouldn't have thought that you would need to run 4times in the week.
Your key session would be a Sunday LSR. If you're tight for time in the week you could add a faster section into the LSR.
If possible could you join a club? This would help in fixing regular training sessions.
So, ever longer LSRs, with a more intense middle section?
What about when I can only allow myself 40 minutes running time- how can I take the greatest advantage of that time? Flat out all the way? Intervals?
It sounds like you're reasonably new to running. Apologies if you're not, and if this all sounds like old news to you. Also, I should point out that I'm very much a keen amateur too, and my opinions are just that.
In my limited experience, newer runners make a couple of basic mistakes: they run too fast in training, and they underestimate the time it takes for the body to adapt to cope with the demands of their training. Both of these, in my humble opinion, increase the risk of injury, which sets you back to square one.
How many times do you run per week at the moment? i.e. on average, over the last six months, what has your running week been like? My suggestion would be the best way for you to improve from your current position is by improving aerobic endurance, making your body more efficient at running for longer distances. These physical adaptations will take time, so be patient. If you're not doing already, make a habit of running 3x a week, every week, come rain, hail or shine. Make them all slow to begin with, so don't worry about speed, don't try to beat your previous best for a particular route, etc, just get the miles in, make a habit of it, and allow your body to do the work of adapting to your new routine. two or even three 40 min runs in the week, plus a longer run at the weekend will be fine, so long as you're doing them nice and easy. some days will feel tougher than others, but if you're red in the face and panting by the end of the runs, you've run them too hard. No point in doing one hard run, then feeling knackered, discouraged and not running for 2 weeks. As for the Sunday long run, start with 60 mins, then add 5-10 mins each week. Every third or fourth week, drop the training volume by about 10-20% or so, then resume the next week from the previous peak. Sooner than you think you'll be running more mileage than you have before, and your endurance will have improved. Keeping it slow will help to avoid injury. Running on trails, or even better grass, will do the same. Did i mention running slowly?
I would focus on the half marathon next April, and work towards that. The 10k will likely take care of itself, if you keep running regularly and avoid injury. You can already run 7.5k at 9min/miles, so in 6 weeks time you will be able to run for longer at that same pace, not by training at that pace, but by running ever increasing mileage at a slower pace, and become aerobically fitter. Sounds counterproductive doesn't it? Well, there it is, slow down, be patient and you'll be grand. Good luck, and let us know how you're getting on.
You need more spare time. If you're already so busy that you can only sqeeze in bit part training, I'd say this is something you can do without.
Forget it.
Cougie and Agent Ginger's advice is spot on. Best work on the aerobic side of the things with the HM as the main aim. By doing this the 10K will look after itself. If you were to put in a faster section into an LSR leave it for the last 20% .
Remember at this stage it's time on your feet not distance that's most important.
Slow is fast.
Cheers all. Yeah, I'm pretty new to it. I had some unexpected time this morning and so went out for a long-ish run: 13km in about 1 hour 20. It felt great, like I could have gone further. Slow is fast, OK.
As to running on grass, it's all trails around by my house, some harder than others. No grass as such, this is Central Spain, near Madrid. Such grassy bits as there are are usually full of aggressively spiky plants and very rough underfoot, so I stick to the trails.
cool, still sounds nicer than pounding the pavements of south west london. Enjoy!
Last weekend I did two runs on roads though, partly to avoid the mud because it had rained pretty heavily, and partly with the idea that I need to get used to running on tarmac in order to be ready to do these races. What's the consensus on that?
by all means do some training on tarmac, it'll toughen your legs up because it's a harder surface. but for the same reason it'll increase the risk of injury if you do too much on tarmac. i wouldn't worry about it too much though, i live in south london and most of my runs are commuting to/from work, so i can't really avoid pavement. it's not an excuse not to run, but if i had a preference it would be to run on grass/trails.
7.86 yesterday in 49:15; 8:39 this morning, 48:20. Probably not slow enough
Do you have a heart rate monitor?
Having recently been informed that the S in LSR is supposed to stand for SLOW rather than SUNDAY, I took it to heart and did 14.5 easy going kilometres in the autumnally misty woods this morning, mostly sandy trails,.some tarmac and even some actual grass.
That makes 70km run in the past eight days.
The "slow" is relative and should be roughley mp+90 or 70% Max heart rate (generally around 135 to 140 BPM).
Rest day today. My legs are definitely feeling the effexts of the last week's running.
Just did 8.35 in 45:31, After a couple of easy runs during the week. LSR tomorrow.
The only thing that worries me is my weekend running buddy. He seems to make faster progress than me- a month ago he was huffing and puffing and not keeping up with me, and now I'm having to half bust a gut at the pace he wants to run at, and he only runs with me at the weekends, whereas I'm going out generally at least twice more on weekdays. Annoying.
Long Slowish Sunday Run: 16.25 km, 43m including some brief piss breaks and walking breaks. The furthest I've ever run.
1hr 43!
Well done great run.
Thanks! Not 43 minutes though, I wish!

Of Minds and Molecules: New Philosophical Perspectives on Chemistry. Nalini Bhushan and Stuart Rosenfeld, eds. xvi + 299 pp. Oxford University Press, 2000. $55.
Philosophy of physics and philosophy of biology are well-established subdisciplines of the philosophy of science, so why not philosophy of chemistry? I remember posing this question as an undergraduate chemistry major to my first philosophy instructor, a well-known philosopher of science. He pondered the question awhile and answered that he didn't really know, that perhaps there are no interesting philosophical questions in chemistry. This is a view challenged by Nalini Bhushan and Stuart Rosenfeld in Of Minds and Molecules, a new collection of 15 essays about philosophy of chemistry.
The unwarranted neglect of chemistry by philosophers of science came about mostly by historical accident. Early 20th-century philosophy of science was dominated by individuals trained in mathematical logic or physics. In addition, Einstein's work challenged long-standing ideas about the nature of time and space, directing much philosophical attention toward physics. Since then, philosophers of science have often been drawn to areas characterized by significant foundational disputes or unclear or ambiguous basic concepts—properties generally not attributed to chemistry.
The contributors to this book are philosophers, chemists and philosopher-chemist teams (including the editors). Collaboration between philosophers and chemists is one of its most exciting features; it focuses the discussion on the application of traditional topics in philosophy of science to chemistry and on previously unexplored topics native to chemistry.
The editors claim in their introduction that the unifying theme of the essays is a challenge to reductionism—the thesis that the theories and explanations of chemistry can be derived from fundamental physics. But in my view the book's most important message is that chemistry has philosophically interesting features not shared with other sciences and therefore deserves attention in philosophical discussions of science. These unique features need to be understood before we can have anything like a complete philosophical picture of science.
Although not all of these essays have an antireductionist theme, the topic is covered quite thoroughly. Reductionism has dominated the literature on philosophy of chemistry, and discussions of reduction are among the most theoretically mature in the book. The contributors do not hold a unified view, but they all conclude that simple claims about chemical theories being reducible to physics are dubious and misleading.
Another traditional topic covered, with a chemical twist, is the role of models in scientific theories. Some accounts of scientific explanation claim that to explain a phenomenon is to derive its occurrence from a law of nature; however, some of the contributors argue that highly idealized models, not laws of nature, play the explanatory role in chemistry. Another theme explored is the importance of iconic or pictorial models in chemical discourse. Logical Empiricist philosophy of science took it as a given that scientific theories and explanations could be represented symbolically—specifically, using first-order logic. This, one of the essays argues, is impossible in chemistry.
Several essays focus on traditional philosophical themes related to structure and identity. One essay argues that macroscopic substances, not molecules, are the basic units of chemistry. Another deals with the status of molecular shape. Consider the straightforward claim that molecular properties, including molecular shape, explain the behavior of substances. Quantum mechanics tells us that molecular shape cannot be an intrinsic property of a molecule. Why, then, is it acceptable to invoke molecular shape in explanations of the behavior of molecules? The answer, this essay argues, lies in recognizing that molecular shape is a property partially constituted by the means of its detection.
Synthesis, instrumentation and the chemical senses—important but often overlooked topics—are also discussed. Synthesis has been neglected entirely in philosophy of science even though it is a central activity of chemistry and poses interesting questions about natural kindhood. Are synthetic molecules natural kinds like water, or artifacts like tables and chairs? The essays on instrumentation and the chemical senses invite us to reconsider traditional philosophical ideas such as the distinction between observation and theory. Should we, for example, treat spectroscopy as an extension of our perceptual abilities? If we do, how might this change our accounts of how theories are supported by perceptual evidence? Given the neglect of these topics, how would classical discussions about the nature of science have been different had chemistry been the paradigm instead of physics?
Although the ideas in this book are genuinely interesting and philosophically important, the arguments in some of the essays lack rigor and depth. Several authors either ignored or misunderstood the relevant philosophical literature. Many complicated ideas or claims are only explained in a paragraph or two, and many of these paragraphs do not contain convincing arguments. Some of the essays also fail to consider obvious objections and respond to them. In many cases, a significant amount of argumentation and conceptual clarification would be necessary to turn the ideas into fully argued philosophical positions.
But these criticisms shouldn't overshadow the book's importance. Of Minds and Molecules is the beginning of a new literature for a relatively new subdiscipline. Creative philosophers could easily use any one of these essays as the starting point for a very interesting exploration of chemistry. Issues in philosophy of chemistry may not raise the kind of deep conceptual perplexity that the quantum mechanical measurement problem raises, and they may not be as conceptually complex as debates about optimality arguments in evolutionary biology. They are, however, essential to understanding what makes science work and progress.
Of Minds and Molecules is reasonably accessible. Very little philosophical knowledge is presupposed by most of the essays; however, a few are fairly technical. Knowing a little chemistry would help the reader be more critical of some of the claims advanced. Overall, I recommended the book to anyone with a serious interest in the philosophy of chemistry or philosophy of science more generally.—Michael Weisberg, Philosophy, Stanford University
