Seneca Rocks rises above the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River in Pendleton County, West Virginia, after sunset on April 28. The only "true peak"—that is, inaccessible except by rock climbing techniques—on the East Coast, the site is popular with rock climbers. Today, a walkable trail of steps and switchbacks leads to an observation deck, allowing those who prefer not to rock climb an overlook of the river valley.
One of the best-known landmarks in West Virginia, Seneca Rocks sits on the western edge of the Wills Mountain Anticline—a geologic ridge formed more than 200 million years ago that extends from southern Pennsylvania, through Maryland and West Virginia, and into Virginia. The peak itself consists of layers of sedimentary rock that were upheaved and turned on their side, creating the characteristic sheer rock faces. Millions of years weathered away layers of softer rock, revealing vertical layers of the erosion-resistant Tuscarora sandstone characteristic of many formations in eastern West Virginia.
From a human's perspective, geologic changes take place at an unfathomably slow pace, unlikely to be noticed over the span of one's lifetime. At Seneca Rocks, however, one such change took place very quickly, in a highly noticeable way.
For years, a thin rock spire known as the Gendarme—French for "pinnacle" and a term used by rock climbers to refer to freestanding rock formations—stood precariously between the north and south peaks. But on October 29, 1987, at 3:27 p.m., the 25-foot-tall, 20-ton slab finally fell to the ground. No hikers were harmed, but witnesses in the area described seeing "a huge cloud of dust and flying debris" and hearing a sound similar to "the Navy fighter jets from Norfolk" that would frequently take practice runs over the area.

Alewives swim against the current in a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay in Cecil County, Maryland, where thousands of river herring gathered to spawn on April 20, 2017.
River herring—alewives and their close relatives, blueback herring—are anadromous: as adults, they live off the Atlantic coast, but they return to freshwater to spawn. For the most part, river herring return to the same streams in which they were born. Scientists aren't quite sure how the fish manage this migratory feat, but tend to attribute their homing instincts to a sensitivity to polarized light, magnetic signals and the unique characteristics of the waters where they were born.
As water temperatures warm and days lengthen each spring, river herring are spurred to begin their spawning runs. Years ago, some rivers seemed to turn silver or appeared to flow backwards as millions of river herring migrated upstream. The river herring fishery was once one of the most valuable in the Bay—alewives can be eaten fresh, smoked, salted or pickled, as well as used for pet food, as bait for lobster and snow crab or in fishmeal and fish oil. But habitat loss, harvest pressure and migration-restricting barriers like dams and culverts led to a sharp drop in river herring abundance, resulting in harvest moratoriums in Maryland, Virginia and the Potomac River, as well as other states along the East Coast.
These days, river herring populations continue to struggle, and adults must navigate a maze of obstacles to reach their spawning grounds. Sometimes their long journey ends at a dam or other barrier that blocks their access to upstream habitat. By clearing blocked waterways, or by installing fish ladders and lifts that help fish get over or around larger barriers, managers can help river herring recover. "Last month they were out in the Atlantic Ocean somewhere," said Jim Thompson, a fisheries biologist with the state of Maryland, as he observed last week's spawning run. "That's why it's really important to build these [fish] ladders or take these dams out to get them over that last little speed bump so they can spawn."

An estimated 97,433 acres of underwater grasses were mapped in the Chesapeake Bay in 2016, the highest amount ever recorded in more than 30 years of aerial surveys by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. The total marks a 53 percent achievement of the 185,000-acre goal adopted by Chesapeake Bay Program partners in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.
In addition, even more underwater grasses likely grew in the region than the estimate suggests. Due to weather conditions and security restrictions, researchers were unable to collect aerial imagery over a portion of the Potomac River. In 2015, the portion supported almost 2,000 acres of grasses, and trends suggest that—had it been mapped—the area would have put the Bay-wide total at 99,409 acres.
Experts attribute the rise in underwater grass abundance to a strong increase in the tidal freshwater and moderately salty regions of the Bay, with widgeon grass in particular expanding in the latter region. However, because widgeon grass is a "boom and bust" species—its abundance can rise and fall from year to year—a widgeon-dominant spike is not guaranteed to persist in future seasons.
Underwater grasses—also known as "submerged aquatic vegetation," or SAV—are critical to the Bay ecosystem. They provide food for small invertebrates and migratory waterfowl and maintain clear and healthy waters by absorbing nutrients, trapping sediment and slowing shoreline erosion. Although sensitive to pollution, underwater grasses are quick to respond to improvements in water quality, making their abundance a good indicator of Bay health.
"As a bay grass biologist, it is thrilling to see SAV recovering in the Chesapeake. Bay grasses exceeded our 2017 midterm goal of 90,000 acres for the second year, with reports of recovering SAV species diversity in areas throughout the Bay as well," said Maryland Department of Natural Resources Biologist and Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Workgroup Chair Brooke Landry in a media release. "With continuing commitments to further reduce pollutants entering the Bay's waters, I believe it's possible to reach records every year and foster thriving SAV beds throughout the Bay—SAV beds that will promote ecological resilience and provide economic and recreational opportunities for generations to come."
Because grass beds provide shelter for young fish and blue crabs, underwater grass abundance is also one of several factors influencing the health and stability of blue crab populations. Earlier this month, data collected by Maryland and Virginia through the Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey showed that, while the overall blue crab population fell 18 percent between 2016 and 2017, the abundance of adult female crabs increased from 194 million to 215 million: the highest amount ever recorded by the Winter Dredge Survey.
In addition to financially supporting the aerial surveys used to monitor underwater grasses, the Chesapeake Bay Program has funded a citizen science project in which local riverkeepers, watershed organizations and volunteers can collect data on underwater grasses. As part of this project, Chesapeake Commons is expanding its Water Reporter app to include underwater grass monitoring features. By downloading the app and joining the Chesapeake Bay SAV Watchers group, anyone with a smartphone can help monitor underwater grasses whenever and wherever they are on the water.

Nestled between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center boasts native gardens, picturesque benches next to flowering trees that hum with bees, study sites for the center's biologists and plenty of rivers, forests and walking trails for the public. Last Wednesday, the refuge played a role in ensuring a new generation of research scientists and nature lovers by hosting the Chesapeake Bay Program's Leadership Summit on Environmental Literacy.
The summit centered on the environmental literacy outcome of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, in which Bay Program partners—which include federal and state agencies, local governments, non-profit organizations, communities and academic institutions—committed to the goal to "enable every student in the region to graduate with the knowledge and skills to act responsibly to protect and restore their local watershed."
Attendees were delegates from the education departments, environmental or natural resource departments and school districts of D.C., Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Representatives from federal agencies, nonprofits, outdoor centers, and educational organizations throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed joined in discussion and collaborated at each table.
Remarks from Nick DiPasquale, Director of the Chesapeake Bay Program, and Brad Knudsen, Patuxent Research Refuge Manager, kicked off the day. Both began by reminiscing spending sunrise-to-sunset childhood days playing outdoors, with Knudsen expressing concern over whether today's children would be able to do the same.
"Most kids now experience the outdoors through sports," Knudsen said. "Sports are great, but what are the odds that at 60 they'll still be playing soccer? If they are exposed to birdwatching, nature hikes, [nature becomes] a lifelong love and activity."
To give today's children outdoor memories and ensure a robust outdoors in which to have them, education leaders from across the watershed shared stories and discussed how to foster success in each jurisdiction. "Me – We" is the handily descriptive pronunciation for Meaningful Watershed Education Experiences (MWEE), the formal environmental education component in place in elementary, middle and high schools and which has been shown to increase overall academic performance. MWEEs—which last weeks to months and morph from classroom learning to outdoor experiences and back again—give students a sense of place within the watershed as a whole, while providing real-world applications for science, math, history, reading and art.
The afternoon concluded with attendees discussing how best to tackle environmental literacy in their particular locality. A major component of environmental literacy is establishing a sense of the full watershed. Covering some 64,000 square miles, the Chesapeake Bay watershed stretches from New York down to Virginia and includes land-locked areas of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. A school in coastal Virginia might create a Bay-focused MWEE in partnership with a local nonprofit, while a class in rural Pennsylvania might work with a local farm, a conservancy and their conservation district to develop a sense of pollution prevention and groundwater protection on their own school grounds. Watershed protection works when people understand the interworking nature of the system and decide to act locally: each area taking pride in their own land, their own streams, their local community. Environmentally literate citizens result in healthier communities; healthier local communities result in a healthier bay.

Yesterday the world heard the shocking news that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are to separate after 10 years of marriage. Gwyneth and Chris! The most fragrant and wholesome celebrity couple in the stardust galaxy!
They announced on Gwyneth's Goop website that they've been semi-detached for a year and are going to remain separate. The news has plunged the Twittersphere into a predictable ferment of sorrow and sarcasm but most of the attention has focused on the way the couple described their split.
"We have always conducted our relationship privately, read their announcement, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner."
Read more: Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin confirm split
Conscious uncoupling. Is that even a thing? Is that divorce or something else? Does uncoupling mean not having sex, or is it more to do with two train carriages getting un-hitched?
Whatever. I wonder, though, if famous divorcing couples in history had their own idiosyncratic ways of announcing it?
Julius Caesar and Pompeia
"I do not see it as a divorce," Mrs Caesar told the O Tempora! newspaper on the Ides of February, "more a platonic restructuring of our relationship as something to build on for the future.
"I hope you aren't going to ask me about the transvestite who crashed my party and brought about this unhappy state of affairs. Julius and I are, in some ways, closer than ever. We want much the same things. He wants me to be under suspicion. I want him to be under six feet of Colonna marble."
Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon

"No, no, 'tis not divorce," laughed Queen Catherine, when interviewed by the Windsor Gazette yesternight. "My Lord Henry and I are having more of a psychic sundering, in which the synergy of our marriage can find outlets in creative ways, perhaps by having children with other people. Family is very important to both of us.
"No, my Lord is not downcast. He hath retired to the Royal Bedchamber where een now he composeth a new lute ballad called Paradise with a big stadium chorus that goeth, 'Oh oh oh oh! Oh, uh-oh! Oh'."
Peter the Great and Eudoxia Lopukhina
"Please don't use that word, tovarich," the Tsaritsa told the Petrograd Gazeta at the weekend. "There is no question of divorce. This is more the divine disjointing of a very devoted couple.
"We simply feel that the anima of our marriage needs time and space to grow in alternative ways. He needs to be away starting wars, crushing rebellions and torturing mutineers. I need to be at Winter Palace with the children and Igor, handsome Kazakh nanny person."
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
Together Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton starred in the 1962 film, Cleopatra.
"Thizzzzzz not a f****** divorce," Ms Taylor explained to Variety magazine, Tuesday. "Such an ugly word. Ug-leee. Richard and I just find that being apart from each other leads to fewer breakages you know, vases, decanters, legs and so forth and fewer instances of losing bloody expensive emeralds and diamonds down the waste-disposal unit.
"Talk about waste Sorry, I get upset sometimes. I just need a little drinkie and a bit of a lie-down. But this is not about divorce okay. This is just a vodka-based domestic realignment, okay? Every couple goes through its ups and downs. It's just that I down a few more than he does."
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills.
"We are not, repeat not, going through a divorce, okay?" grated Heather Mills, when questioned by the Daily Mail on Friday.
"What were having here is simply a neurolinguistic re-programming until Paul realises that I am, essentially, the creative one in this relationship and he is more my astral amanuensis. I am the major chords, he is merely the twiddly bits in B minor that nobody can actually hear.
"If a marriage is a song, then I am the brilliantly clever verses, where he is just the stupid chorus where he goes 'na na na naaaah' over and over."
Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng

"Ive told you blodgers a dozen times," Rupert Murdoch informed the senior staff of News International yesterday, "This is not a flamin divorce. I don't wanna see the bloody word in my papers."
"I consulted experts an the phrase is cognitive detachment. It carries the right kind of psycho-bollock sincerity. Mrs M has been briefed. You need to keep yer peelers out in case she's nabbed by Vanity bloody Fair and spills the prawns all over the fuckin barbie.
"So cognitive detachment. Drill the words across yer flamin foreheads!"
Nikolas Sarkozy and Cecilia Attias
"Mais non! C'est pas un divorce,'' cried Cecilia Attias when asked by Le Monde last night to clarify the marital status of the former French president.
"Eet is une rupture of two souls, a, ow you say, dissolution ontologique.We shall remain the best of copains and share zer upbringing of les kids. Zat ees if e ever as a moment when he es not, ow you say, shagging zat chanteuse horizontale."

Trade barriers under attack include EU energy efficiency standards, which China claims block the import of some of its manufactured goods. Another is the UK decision to make a modest difference in the cost of road tax for less efficient vehicles. A trade barrier to large polluting vehicles, claims the US. The Forest Stewardship Council label, that seeks to identify more sustainable forestry products, could be up for grabs too. More than 200 environmental standards and rules have been targeted. Unlike previous WTO talks, the EU has no plans to prioritise environmental issues.
Tony Juniper
Friends of the Earth
Peter Mandelson's appointment as EU trade commissioner was promising - he was attacked "as an arch free trader". Yet, a year on, it has become apparent he lacks the backbone to do the job. He increasingly sounds like a lobbyist for French farmers, arguing for "managed trade" and rejecting proper market access for the poorest countries. His proposals to cut tariffs and trade-distorting subsidies are meaningless spin.

Hello everyone, name's Mike and from the bay area and I'm happy to be a new Subaru owner! Traded in my 2002 jet black BMW 325i for a 2011 satin pearl white Subaru WRX yesterday! Drove 144 miles to pick up my new WRX and it was definitely worth the drive.
I'll miss my E46 but am really happy with the upgrade. One thing I miss already though was my bimmers suspension. This stock suspension on the Subie has to go.
I don't think I'm going to do coilovers this time. Maybe just spring/strut combo. Koni yellows with either Swift sport springs or RCE blacks? Can't wait to start modding.
Anywho, looking forward to being a part of this community!

Also known as the peanutburger.
What's a peanutburger you ask?
Well, if you live on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio than you probably already know the answer to this one. But for those of you from any other part of the world, let me tell you. Bearden's is a diner style restaurant straight out of the 50's. Ok, well technically it was started in the 40's but it looks like it's from the 50's.
Anyway they serve exactly what you would think they serve. Burgers, chicken fingers, hot dogs, onion rings, fries and milkshakes. Alright, and they serve some salads, but no one goes there for the salads. Let's just say it is not a restaurant for vegetarians, unless of course your are ok with eating you weight in onion rings. Which actually might not sound all that bad to some. Me?
I don't know.
I have never had one….
Nope, I have never had an onion ring. Is that weird?
My parents are not big onion people or at least they thought they weren't onion people. Trust me they are, they just don't know it. Anyway, we never got the onion rings and since I have never had them I have never had the urge to try them anywhere else. I am thinking this maybe needs to change though, I hear they are good.
Wait, I am getting off topic. I can not do that today.
Today I have not one, not two, but three recipes. Burgers, fries and a milkshake. Cause honestly they just go together and I can not split them up. That would be just plain wrong. And mean.
My mom and dad grew up eating peanutburgers during their lunch break at school. Yeah, can you believe that, they had a whole hour and a half to go home, or wherever, for lunch. So since Bearden's was across the street from their school that's where they went (not together back then, that didn't happen until high school) for a treat. I guess Bearden's used to be the "cool" place to go back in the day as well. My grandma actually used to go there on Friday and Saturday nights when she was in high school in the late 50's. The waitresses used to serve your food on roller skates. No seriously. If you were getting your food to go or just eating in your car the waitresses would roll your order out to you on skates and then attach a tray full of food right onto your car door/window.
Which makes me think of National Lampoon's Vacation when the waitress brings them their food and their window shatters. Yeah, for some odd reason I love that movie. And for me that is really odd because I do not normally like comedies. Typically I am all about the dramas, love stories and a little action mixed in, but mostly I am really into the dramas and happy ending movies.
Really though, why do waitress not do this anymore? Um, hello? Roller skates! That is awesome!
Sorry, sometimes I act like I am five again and sometimes I secretly wish I was.
Ah wait, that's not a secret. I totally wish I was five and care free again.
Alrighty then, back to the burgers.
They are maybe the weirdest sounding burger around, but trust me they are so good. Peanut butter slathered on a burger is amazing. So amazing it does not even need cheese, or even the bacon that you see sitting on top in a few of the photos! And that is coming from a "everything is better with cheese" person. Typically when we used to get Bearden's we would just get the peanutburger with no other toppings, but since I have started writing this little blog I have discovered that venturing out of my food comfort zone can equal delicious things.
Now personally my family still loves these burgers straight up. Just plain peanut butter and nothing else, but we are boring and typical. So if you thinking you want some cheese go for it, cheddar is delicious with the peanut butter and burger. And the bacon, well for some that is probably just a no brainer. Either you love bacon or hate it. It is a personal preference thing.
If you love it go for it and if you are a true peanut butter lover just do the peanutburger straight up. Bun, burger, peanut butter, bun. Done.
You can't go to Bearden's without getting the the Slim Jim Fries. You just can't, they're too good. They are slim, crispy and salty.
Everything a fry should be and what every burger needs sitting right beside it.
My slim jim fries are a little different though. I baked them, cause ya all know I hate frying. Promise they are just as good.
Your burger and fries? Yeah, they are still not complete. They absolutely, no questions asked, need to be washed down with a chocolate shake. Really, it's not up for discussion.
Just do it.
It's malted and it's good and it is what your peanutburger and slim jim fries need. Plus, I might have a mental break down if I knew you ate this meal without shake.
So just give your peanutburger the full Bearden's tribute and wash it down with an icy malted milkshake and slim jim fries. Your burger will never be the same again.
Peanut Butter Burgers with Slim Jim Fries and Chocolate Shake.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese sliced (optional)
- 8 slices cooked bacon (optional)
- 4 whole wheat buns toasted
Slim Jim Fries
- 3 pound russet potatoes peeled (if desired) and sliced into thin 1/2-inch to 1/4 inch (thick) strips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Chocolate Malted Milkshake
- 4 cups chocolate ice cream
- 3/4 - 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate malt powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- whipped cream and hot fuge sauce for topping
Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
Add ground beef to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, then let sit at room temperature while you work on the fries. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Cut each potato into very thin fries, lengthwise no more than a quarter-inch thick. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil. I think I used about 2 tablespoons. Add the seasoned salt and pepper and arrange the fries in single layer without crowding them on the wire racks (this is very important - I used two baking sheets).
Bake for 20 minutes, remove and toss, then bake for 15-20 minutes longer. I like to start checking them at 15 minutes and make sure none are burning or getting too crisp.
About 15 to 20 minutes before the fries are ready form the beef into 4 equal patties and grill (or you can fry them in a skillet as well) until they reach their desired doneness. I cook mine about 4 minutes per side, but it will depend on how thick you like your burgers. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top each burger with a few slices of cheddar cheese if desired (I do not do this for our peanut burgers, but some people love it!). Remove from the grill and cover with foill to keep warm while you make the milkshakes.
In a blender, combine the ice cream, malted milk powder and vanilla. Add the milk, a quarter cup at a time, blending between each addition, until the desired consistency is reached. Divide between four glasses and top with generous amounts of whipped cream and hot fudge sauce.
To assemble burgers warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Place the burger on its bun and spread a generous amount of the warmed peanut butter on top of the burger. Top with 2 slices of bacon if desired and add the burger bun.
Serve the burgers with a side of slim jim fries and the milkshakes! Dig in!
Oh and yes, you should make these for Memorial day.

What If 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?
By Tina Griego
I wrote a column for the Denver Rocky Mountain titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament". I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, and buy clothes. What happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?" Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?

Lacroix Gets Over 200 Career Victories as Both Gator Tennis Teams Sweep Vanderbilt 7-0
Alex Lacroix has had a fabulous career at the University of Florida. Coming into the match against Vanderbilt with 199 career victories, the lone senior on the Gator Men's Tennis team was feeling the love from the crowd at Ring Tennis Complex. Lacroix became only the second player in program history to surpass the 200-career win plateau after winning both his doubles and singles matches against the Commodores. No. 15 Florida raced out to a 1-0 lead against Vanderbilt after taking the doubles point, then watched its singles players complete the sweep for a 7-0 victory. Lacroix, down a set in his singles match, came back for a 4-6, 7-5, 10-7 victory, putting him at 201-career victories.
The Gator Women's Tennis team was on the road, also in action against Vanderbilt. Amidst windy conditions, the No. 2 Florida women's team matched the men, completing the 7-0 sweep against the Commodores.

There's still time to bake an Easter cake
Spekkoek, or spice cake, is a classic Dutch specialty dessert that involves baking a cake in multiple thin layers. A thin layer of cake batter is spread in the pan and broiled until firm and golden. Then another layer is spread on top, and so on. The result is a toasty flavor and beautiful, intriguing pattern inside the cut cake.
The technique used in making spekkoek can be used to make an equally beautiful pastel, multilayered Easter cake.
Simply make up a double batch of your favorite white-cake batter, or use two boxes of store-bought white-cake mix. Divide the cake batter into five or more bowls, and tint each with food coloring. Don't add too much; you want the colors to be pastels. For bright lavenders and blues, use a cake batter that calls for egg whites only; the yellow hue contributed by yolks will dull lavender and make blue look turquoise.
We wanted a tall cake with a continuous center, so we used a 4-inch-tall springform pan. Two boxes of cake mix filled it perfectly.
1. Make the batter, color it and spread a thin layer on the bottom of the well-sprayed pan or pans of your choice. Place 8 inches from a preheated low-heat broiler and cook from 1-3 minutes, or until the top is speckled golden. Remove from the oven and carefully add the next layer, spreading the batter just thick enough to cover.
2. Continue this process. If you are making a tall cake and the center begins to jiggle and feel undone, simply switch the oven to 350 degrees and let the cake bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until the center feels firm when you tap it gently. Then continue with your layers.
3. After the cake is completely cool, give it a simple coat of white icing. You may press toasted nuts or coconut around the sides, but avoid colorful decorations. It's so interesting inside, that too much color on the outside would be overkill. It's fun to present this simple-looking dessert and watch your guests' eyes light up when you slice it.
Makes two 9-inch layer cakes
(Double this recipe for the thick springform technique described above.)
12 tablespoons (1ᄑ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1ᄑ cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
ᄐ teaspoon salt
6 large egg whites (ᄒ cup), beaten until slightly foamy
ᄒ cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 (9-inch) diameter-by-1ᄑ-inch-deep layer pans or 1 (13-by-9-by-2-inch) pan, buttered and bottoms lined with parchment or waxed paper
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Set aside. Combine egg whites, milk and vanilla extract in another bowl and beat well.
Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to butter mixture, then add half the milk mixture, and beat on low speed with an electric hand mixer to blend. Continue to alternate beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scrape bowl and beater often. Do not overmix.
Color and bake as described above.
— Adapted from Nick Malgieri (His original recipe is on foodnetwork.com.)
ᄒ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
In a medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the softened butter at medium speed until smooth.
Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt and beat the mixture at low speed just until combined. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth.
Add the milk or heavy cream and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Social and Cultural Capital: Empowerment for Sustainable Development in the MOUNTAINS OF ESCAZU, COST HTML version
Over the last half century, "world development" has become a major goal of humanity. This
objective has been supported by numerous evolving theories and has been attempted by abundant practices.
Development aid has gone from "developed" nations to serve "underdeveloped" nations in this quest, but the
goal of development has remained elusive. Although much energy has been exerted by many to advance
world development, the overall results still seem dismal. Poverty, hunger, and environmental destruction
continue to loom before us. Conventional development, which sought to remedy these ills by stimulating
economic growth, often wrought environmental destruction and human misery in its wake. Critiques and
counter-theories emerged in search of alternate roads to development, but mostly to no avail. Thus, the last
of the development perspectives of this century, under the vague rubric of "sustainable development", has
stressed the need for reconciling all the previous contradictions of development, so that economic growth be
reconciled with environmental protection, the objectives of the State with those of civil society, and the
needs of present generations, with those of the future. Sustainable development appears to be our last hope
for truly achieving improved life conditions for the vast majorities. At least it sets the groundwork for no
longer making it acceptable to compromise vast sections of people's "lifeworld", such as their cultures and
their environment, to satisfy a singular aspect such as national economic growth. The global consensus of
sustainable development as the accepted development paradigm seems to be saying that "if sustainable
development can't achieve what we are striving for, nothing will."
In this dissertation I will examine the intimate workings of civil society in its attempts at
sustainable development. This study focuses on the efforts of a small community organization in Escazú,
Costa Rica between 1989 and 1998 to protect and improve local life quality in a context where the ideology
of sustainable development prevailed. I examine how strategies of sustainable development were forged,
what resources, including economic, social and cultural, were mobilized, and finally, how the ideology of
sustainable development with its emphasis on reconciliation actually helped or hindered reaching the goals
of social, environmental and economic sustainability.
Entering the Field
In 1989 I received support from the University of New Mexico to carry out exploratory research on
peasant environmentalists in Costa Rica. I only had two months during the university summer break to
carry out my exploratory work. Fortunately, only a few days after arriving in Costa Rica, a round table-
seminar on Environment and Community Action was announced in the newspaper. When I arrived in the
evening, three of the six panelists were seated facing an almost empty auditorium except for two other
people and myself. After waiting half an hour past the scheduled time, five other people arrived. After
some brief murmurs the panelists offered to go ahead with the round-table despite the meager audience, out
of respect for those of us who did have an interest in the subject. One member of the audience suggested that
it was probably not a general lack of interest in the subject, but rather a greater interest of most people in
attending a conference on world peace being held at the same time and where the Dalai Lama was guest
This was my first fieldwork encounter with efforts that began to appropriate and implement the
concept of sustainable development. Despite the absence of half of the panelists (two government
institutions and one private organization), the conference began to reveal some of the local undercurrents
that informed the concept of sustainable development. Moreover, it opened an important door for me to
continue investigating the subject well into the following decade as a full-fledged participant and observer.
The three panelists were a representative of the government institution DINADECO (National Directorate
for Community Development), a representative of the newly formed MEC (Costa Rican Environmentalist
Movement), and a representative of the community organization CODECE (Committee for the Defense of

AbstractThe goal of this project is to develop an ultra low power (ULP), radiation hardened, reconfigurable analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in the 130nm Flexfet Independently Double Gated SOI CMOS process. Satellites include a large number of sensors which perform both generic system functions and specific mission needs. For these various sensors, the required resolution for the associated ADC may be as low as 8-bits or as high as 22-bits while the bandwidth can range from a few kHz to several MHz. A new Hybrid Pipelined Delta-Sigma (HPDS) ADC will be developed as this particular hybrid architecture shows great promise with regards to programmability, reconfigurability, and radiation-immunity. Similarly, American Semiconductor"s Flexfet process is ideally suited for the design of rad-hard ULP, reconfigurable circuits. Flexfet transistors provide a wide range of dynamic threshold voltage adjustment which supports dynamic reconfigurability and performance tuning. The Flexfet technology provides an innovative solution for superior environmental characteristics to meet temperature and radiation tolerance requirements with ability to fine tune the power and performance for high levels of integration like a microprocessor. Implementing the HPDS ADC architecture in the Flexfet technology will provide a superior ADC solution for the unique requirements and environmental challenges of multi-year space missions.

"Thorough and comprehensive coverage from one of the foremost experts in browser security."
—Tavis Ormandy, Google Inc.
Modern web applications are built on a tangle of technologies that have been developed over time and then haphazardly pieced together. Every piece of the web application stack, from HTTP requests to browser-side scripts, comes with important yet subtle security consequences. To keep users safe, it is essential for developers to confidently navigate this landscape.
In The Tangled Web, Michal Zalewski, one of the world's top browser security experts, offers a compelling narrative that explains exactly how browsers work and why they're fundamentally insecure. Rather than dispense simplistic advice on vulnerabilities, Zalewski examines the entire browser security model, revealing weak points and providing crucial information for shoring up web application security. You'll learn how to:
For quick reference, "Security Engineering Cheat Sheets" at the end of each chapter offer ready solutions to problems you're most likely to encounter. With coverage extending as far as planned HTML5 features, The Tangled Web will help you create secure web applications that stand the test of time.
Michal Zalewski is an internationally recognized information security expert with a long track record of delivering cutting-edge research. He is credited with discovering hundreds of notable security vulnerabilities and frequently appears on lists of the most influential security experts. He is the author of Silence on the Wire (No Starch Press), Google's "Browser Security Handbook," and numerous important research papers.

About Me Developer, Sys Admin
Comments about oreilly The Tangled Web:
The Tangled Web provides an in-depth academic approach to web security to examine the current threat landscape, how we got here, and how to better secure your applications. One thing I really enjoyed about this book is that it conveys technial content without having you do any real labs or follow along with code examples. To sweeten the deal even further, there's some handy cheat sheets at the end of each chapter that you can utilize as a checklist for your applicaitons.Overall, I think this is a great book for security engineers or web developers who want to understand how their applications are under attack.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great stuff, maybe not for beginners...
By Jason
from Washington, DC
About Me Developer
In The Tangled Web Mr. Zalewski paints a grim picture of web security, explaining in some detail the confluence of conflicting standards, incomplete RFCs, inconsistent browser behaviors and other anomolies that lead to today's current (spoiler alert: not good) state of web security.This title is different than any other I've read on web security. It isn't a web security handbook by any means - it is more a descriptive history of the evolution of web standards and languages, focusing on decisions made that impact web security to this day. The author delves into every aspect of the web - HTML, HTTP, CSS, scripting languages, browers, plugins, etc. in astounding detail. Moving between topics he is consistently able to combine low-level technical details with a deal of historical context that is in itself remarkable. It is interesting to read explanations of how vulnerabilities came to be, whether caused by ignorance, good intentions, loyalty to a specific browser, etc. This more "human" information provides a respite from more technical content while being both insightful and entertaining.While the content is highly descriptive Mr. Zalewski does a great job of providing security cheat sheets at the end of each chapter. These bite-sized nuggets of actionable content are invaluable and add an extra dimension to the title - I know I will come back to these time and again as I develop for the web.This book is definitely a worthwhile read, but it is not an easy read. It weighs in at about 300 pages but is packed with information and it took me quite some time to get through it. It is quite technical and I found myself re-reading sections to make sure I really understood what the author was saying. I'm somewhat conflicted: I wouldn't necessarily recommend this title to a novice web programmer but I wouldn't recommend deploying a website without reading it...At the end of the day Mr. Zalewski takes what is realistically a dull and dry topic and makes it read like prose. I strongly suggest this title to anyone working in the web development world.Everyone will get something out of it and if you are the kind of person passionate about knowing how everything works behind the scenes you'll absolutely love it!

Real & deep web information
By marc137
from Madrid
Tremendous. Long ago I read a book not so much technical information. Designed especially for web developers, clearly explains how it all works, from browsers to the protocols, security, different parsers (HTML, URLs, etc ...).There are many things we know how it works ... or so we think. We used to use them, but usually know the other possibilities that we offer, or by the same ignorance, we fall into security issues. It is here where this book comes in handy.It is not easy reading, nor intended for beginners. But it's worth making the effort and if you already have a web programming level, mess with this book. Definitely highly recommended.

An invaluable Browser Security Resource!
By grandslam
from honolulu
About Me Designer, Developer, Sys Admin
I am currently a front-end application developer a financial institution, and I have gone through quite a few security books over the last couple of years but have never found one so specifically focused on browser applications as this book is. I thought I was pretty versed and up-to-date in the common internet security issues until I read this book. I was surprised to see how creative the bad-guys can be. I especially found Michal's coverage on Intranet security an eye-opener. After reading this book, I simply can not imagine anyone involved in the management, design or development of applications for the internet or intranet to not have this book as their foundation. I found this book to be an invaluable resource for updating our company's intranet security policy and I would highly recommend this book others.

Shelling Trip Adventure To Turks And Caicos
Shelling is a treasure hunt and an exshellent adventure every time you comb a beach or snorkel open waters in search of seashells or Beach Bling. As with any treasure hunt, you have to search high and low to find the bounty… and that's what we did.
Our vacation to heaven…. errr… I mean North Caicos and Middle Caicos was packed full of seashell collecting (as I've shown you in my past few posts) and we had an adventure every day to hunt for them. As promised, I'll tell you all about where we stayed, a few places we ate and and some other cool stuff we saw on our island expeditions. This post is a little long but I've got some great info packed in here! So get a cup of coffee and relax or jot down a few notes just in case you ever travel to TCI (Turks & Caicos Islands) in search for seashells.
Our vacation really started when we handed our passports and airline tickets to the American Airlines agent in Miami to catch the next flight to Provenciales (Provo) which is one island in the chain of forty islands that make up Turks & Caicos. After landing in Provo, we passed by countless luxury resorts, spas and shopping malls on our taxi ride to the ferry landing to climb aboard My Girl ferry which took us on a half hour boat ride to North Caicos Island.
As I said, we chose to pass up spas, shopping malls and luxuries to be greeted on the North Caicos ferry landing by our car we rented for a week from Al's Auto Rental to get us around the islands. Really? You can't even see the scrapes and dents from this photo but it had four wheels and it ran… that's all that counted. But we did have to laugh!
On a dirt road leading to a nicer paved "highway" then on to pot holes and rubble, we found the way to our cottage by the sea called the Whitby White House…our beachfront rental for the week in the little town of Whitby.
Paradise found. This next photo was the view from our back porch… and there it was… a rainbow. Pinch me!
How can we be staying in a house that has seashells lining the steps and around the sea oats in the yard with a rainbow over the aqua water? This kind of stuff only happens in dreams, doesn't it?
We were starved by the time we got settled in the house so we took a ten minute walk down west down the beach to a local place called Silver Palms Restaurant.
Surprise! The owner Karen had a little private birthday party set up for me! Okay, it was "private" because she normally doesn't stay open after 5pm on Sundays but she made an exception since Jane ordered lobster dinners in advanced and told her she wanted to surprise me. How sweet!!! And how yummy! It was a fantastic meal! Thank you Jane, John and Clark for the best birthday EVER! And remember, I even found the MILK CONCH and my first juvie QUEEN CONCH of the week on the walk back on the beach that same night. I'll never forget that day.
The next morning, we all sat at the breakfast table to map out our route for the day… which turned into our routine for the entire week. Remember the word "Adventure". It was… but let me assure you, we felt safe every second every where we went. Every person we met was so very nice and helpful, safety was not an issue or we would not have explored the places we explored. The only problem was is that we found most of the roads to the beaches were like this…
They drive on the other side of the road so John took the wheel and drove us around like a champ over every rock and around every hole. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard exploring a new place. This was a good street sign…
As we found out very quickly, there were some unfortunate circumstances North Caicos and Middle Caicos experienced in the past 6 years. In 2008, we all know that the market crashed and the economy went down the ceramic bowl. But not only that, the same year they got hit by Category 5 Hurricane Hanna which did MAJOR damage and took out the causeway from North Caicos to Middle Caicos and most of the other roads. Two weeks later, Category 4 Hurricane Ike slammed into them again. Don't you think that would be enough for these little islands? No. It gets worse. What we heard was that Lehman Brothers was one of the major investors in most of the new hotel projects and condos. I'm sure you remember that name. Lehman brothers was the largest bankruptcy in the U.S. and caused the beginning of our economy failure… also in 2008. There are shells (no pun intended) of buildings around the islands that they just walked away from. The islands of North and Middle Caicos still haven't recovered and the "politics" have stopped the process. It's so sad! But folks, these people dont get depressed. The locals are making due and are still happy on their little island living off the land and the tourists. So we, being tourists, enjoyed every inch of these sweet little islands and the people living there. Rough roads and all! Okay, so let's not dwell on the bad roads and unfinished buildings… we've got site seeing to do! We had the beaches to ourselves and all the shells our little hearts could desire! I think this was the prettiest beach I've ever seen. Mudjin Harbour on Middle Caicos.
Then we hit the jackpot. We met Cardinal Arthur. Shelling guide extraordinaire.
We stopped at Daniel's Cafe on Middle Caicos to grab a bite to eat… only to find that it was closed on Mondays. Arg. It was Monday.
It didn't matter because Cardinal happened to pull up on the street when we were deciding where to go next so we started talking to him. What a gem! Not many people in TCI understood why we were looking for seashells. They thought we were crazy looney bins. Not Cardinal. He got excited to tell us he knew where we could find SUNRISE TELLINS, SAND DOLLARS, TRITONS and where to see PINK FLAMINGOS. Really! He knew the names of the shells! Ha! Fate, man. I tell you… fate. We struck a deal and met him at a dock the next day for a boating adventure.
We were like little kids all geared up…
In less than an hour, I found my first PARTRIDGE TUN…
I've already shown you photos of the shells we found in my last posts but I also made a couple of maps (that I've attached to the bottom of this post) so you can see all of the shells we found here. It was a day out of a fairy tail.
Cardinal took us to see the PINK FLAMINGOS…
John wanted to fish as well as shell…
Cardinal took Jane and John out by the reef where they caught several types of SNAPPER, GROUPER and BARRACUDA (Cardinal took the barracuda home to eat since we didn't want to eat it). They even saw a WHALE and her baby! When they came back to join us, John threw out his line again and caught this MUTTON SNAPPER right near our shelling hole.
We ate fresh fish (YUM!) for two nights back at our house. We also bought lobster from Cardinal that Clark grilled outside on the barbecue for fabulous dinners two of the other nights. We had a seafood feast! Jane and I made fresh salads with sliced fruit each night while the boys were the grill masters. I normally don't like to cook but this was so much fun to spend time back at our beach cottage all together making freshly caught meals and sharing the wondrous stories of the day. And laughing… and laughing until our stomaches hurt.
We packed our lunches most days since we didn't really know where we would end up … which worked well for us since we like to wing it. But we got back to the house around lunch time one day after visiting a few beaches like Horsestable Beach and a few others that didn't produce a lot of collectable shells for us (but who knows, it could have been a gold mine the day before… it's all about Mother Nature) so we knew we had a great beach in front of our place to explore on the way to the coolest beach bar on the islands…. Barracuda Beach Bar.
I could have moved in to this awesome tiki hut filled with shells, shells and more shells.
It even had lots of Beach Bling like this WHALE JAW BONE hanging in the rafters. So Cool!
They have the best burgers and fries in town and it's only a ten minute walk east from our house. It's like our house was sandwiched (pun intended this time) in between the 2 best restaurants on the island so we could look for shells on the way back…
Then relax for a little while…
And enjoy our own veranda view…
We probably could have just stayed within a couple of miles of our cottage and found plenty of great shells but we are all explorers so we had to check out all of the beaches. We couldn't have explored as much without the help of the map provided by WhereWhenHow.com… which I have embellished (with their permission) to show you where we found our best shells. This map will show you where we stayed and our best shelling locations on North Caicos (population of 1300 according to a few locals)…
This next map is of Middle Caicos (population 309 according to the same locals) and our best shelling places…
We cleaned and sorted our shells every day so they could dry in time to pack them up to put in our luggage. We saved all of the containers from our food, drinks and souvenirs so they wouldn't get crushed or broken.
U.S. Customs allows 2 or 3 QUEEN CONCHS per person (it seemed like it depended on the agent) to be brought into the country and they didn't seem to care about any of the other shells. Turks & Caicos Customs didn't have a problem with any shells going out of the county so we had no trouble at all… and not one shell broke. Like I said before though, we didn't bring home every empty shell we found. I know these are gorgeous but I thought bringing home just one was enough so I left these at the house…
As you can see, we had quite a vacation to remember. I'm still in awe when I look at all of our shells we brought home to remember this amazing week. The only thing I might have done differently is stay a bit longer. But then, there's always another time… hopefully. I would love to get back there one day.
Just in case you go, here are some links (if you don't know that every bolded and light lighted word in the post has a link attached) or phone numbers if they dont have websites… Oh, and tell them Pam at iLoveShelling.com sent you! They'll get a kick out of it since they all thought is was weird I had a website devoted to finding seashells. LOL
Whitby White House… http://turksandcaicosvacation.com
Cardinal Arthur- 1-649-241-0730– He doesn't have a website, doesn't do internet and only takes cash. Everybody on both islands knows him. He also drives a taxi and does other tours around the island.
Al's Auto Rental 1-649-331-1947 / 946-7248 There are other rentals and I cant remember if it was cheaper than the others or what but they were very helpful and the car got us where we wanted to go.
MV My Girl Ferry- +1-649-241-0599 There's another ferry too but this one had better times for us.
KJ's Grocery- 1-649-946-7705 – It's only a 10 minute drive from the house and they take credit cards for purchases over $25. The owner, Maggie was great and we got most of our groceries from her. She even gave us boxes just in case we were going to ship shells home (sweet!)… but we decided against shipping.

Best Seashells From Our Vacation to Turks and Caicos
I am still in awe of how many different seashells we found on our vacation to North Caicos and Middle Caicos of the Turks and Caicos Islands. I'm also in awe (okay, let me tell the truth…. "overwhelmed" would be the right word) because I took over 1100 photographs. Yikes! So this is what I'm going to do since I can't smoosh all of these amazing shells, photos and info in just this one post. I'm going to show you our best finds now and then in my next post I'll show you where we found them and a few maps just in case you ever want to go there on one of your shelling vacations too. After that, I'll show you where we stayed on North Caicos and a few restaurants and other things we loved about the islands. But for now, lets get on with the seashell show! I showed you Clark's KING HELMET, my ANGULAR TRITON and some QUEEN CONCHS on my last post but these PARTRIDGE TUNS for sure made it on our "besties" list. They look like really fragile scotch bonnets without the thick lip.
Here's a close up the bottom of our LONG-SPINED STAR SHELL I showed on my vacation "teaser" (heehee) post. I say "our" shell because Clark and I were snorkeling side by side when we both spotted this beauty as the same time. Gorgeous, right?
Here are the different colors of the GAUDY ASAPHIS I talked about…
We could have gathered hundreds of doubles! Clark collected so many different colors then picked through them to get the best to bring back…
The double SPECKLED TELLINS were such a treat too! We are always tickled to find beautiful bivalves when both valves are still attached…
Believe it or not, this is my first BLEEDING TOOTH NERITE. I saw oodles of NERITES, but since I was trying to be very selective in what we brought home, I chose this one I've never found before to bring home and it's one of my faves!
And of course the SUNRISE TELLINS. Oh my. They really look like they have been colorfully painted then sprayed with a high gloss coating. It was astonishing to find a perfect double SUNRISE TELLIN laying in the shallow water half covered by sand. A true gift of the sea.
Oops! I forgot to put my MILK CONCH in my bestie photo but this has to be part of my favorites list too!
I found this MILK CONCH and a juvie QUEEN CONCH the first night we arrived… which was my birthday night. YAY! We didn't want to waste a minute so we walked the beach as soon as we arrived and these washed up at my feet. YAY Again!
I love the minis!!!! Just like here in Sanibel, if we are visiting a beach and we aren't finding the larger shells in the wrack line, at the shoreline or in the water, we start looking for miniature shells. We found them! They are just so stinkin sweet, arent they?
But wait! There's more! I want to share Jane and John's besties too!
You saw John Johnny Rescue's QUEEN CONCH and Jane's ANGULAR TRITON yesterday and they found the SUNRISE TELLINS and PARTRIDGE TUNS as well…. But… John found this very cool CONE!
It really doesn't match exactly with that thin lip, high spire and a few other details and I havent had time to research further, but our best guess is that it's a CROWN CONE.
UPDATE! Deenie just commented to tell us that this is not a CONE at all! It's a juvenile HAWKWING CONCH! How cool is that. Now that I know what it is, I can completely recognize the shape and now I know why the lip is so thin unlike a CONE and the spire is so tall. Thank you so much Deenie!
Well how about that… John found an adult HAWKWING CONCH as well so you can see what that juvie will look like when it grows up.
And look at the color and lines of this RETICULATED COWRIE-HELMET!
It is a spectacular shell! Good find John!
I'm still stunned and amazed at this next shell…. well I should really say "BEACH BLING". It's the OPERULUM to the COLORFUL MOON SHELL! It's a SHIVA SHELL.
What? Why haven't we ever found these on Sanibel??? We have gobs of COLORFUL MOONS (GAUDY NATICAS) so why don't we find their OPERCULUMS more often? Weird. Plain Weird. Thanks Susan for the heads up on this beaut. So now we have something new to look for in SouthWest Florida too so look at the exterior of this SHIVA SHELL to put this in your shelling brain. Anyway, John found this one in the high tide wrack line mixed in with some other Beach Bling and a few days later I found one too but it wasn't perfect like this…
So how cool are these shells from The Caicos, huh? Let me show you the whole kit and caboodle of shells Clark and I brought back. Keep in mind, after rinsing and inspecting the shells we collected each day, we didn't bring home the majority of our shells to Sanibel. We inspected for cracks, critters, crud or replaced them for better specimens. We want to respect the islands, sand and beaches so we have to be conservative with the shells we take. We only kept the ones we knew we would either display in our home or research for the blog. Look how beautiful they are! I could just sit and stare at all of these treasures for hours at a time!
I'll try to give you as much information as possible about our stay in a short time so I'm already working on a map to show you where most of our shells were found on our exshellent adventure!Read More
Finding Seashells On Turks And Caicos Islands
We went to Turks and Caicos Islands on our vacation and it was a-mazing! We explored just about every beautiful inch of North Caicos and took several wild adventures to Middle Caicos and found that to be just as breathtaking.
We had lots of sunshine and warm weather for great beach combing on their awesome picturesque beaches along with plenty of clear aqua water to snorkel for hours at a time. But… best of all… we found a slew of bright, beautiful and colorful seashells! Remember I showed you a photo in my last post of a KING HELMET? Clark has always wanted to find a KING HELMET shell… and now his wish has come true! He was (is) sooooo ecstatic about his find!
Can't you see why?
He was not going to come out of that water until he found something spectacular since he was very jealous (but very happy for me) when I showed him what I found…. an ANGULAR TRITON!
Take a look at this beauty…
I still can't believe how many juvenile QUEEN CONCHS we found…
We found them on just about every beach we visited rolling in the surf…
Most of the empty adult QUEEN CONCHS around the islands had large cuts or holes in the spire of the shell because the locals cut the shell to get the meat out for food so it was hard to find a pretty one to bring home. John "Johnny Rescue" finally found a gorgeous QUEEN CONCH!
I'm still in awe at the glossy brilliant colors of this shell…
Jane found a nice size ANGULAR TRITON too!
It was a little gunky when she found it but it cleaned up like a dream…
We were all thrilled to find SUNRISE TELLINS and GAUDY ASAPHIS shells. The SUNRISE TELLINS are the glossy yellow, pink and white ones that have the sunbeam pattern. We found quite a few different colors of the GAUDY ASAPHIS shells (yellow, orange, purple white and ones with sunbeams as well!) so I'll separate these shells in another post so you can see the difference. Unbelievable, right?
I have so many stories and videos to share with you from our trip but I thought I'd start you off with the most important photos… shells! And that ain't all, folks. We found looots of other amazing shells and beach bling so I'll try to get organized quickly so I can give you the whole run down on Turks and Caicos. To see my other posts on Turks & Caicos CLICK HERE
PS-Now that we are back and I have read all of your thoughtful comments and birthday wishes from so many of you on my last post… I am overwhelmed and humbled by your kindness. Really. Thank you so much for all of your sweet words that made this very special birthday even more special. It really was a shellebration of living life and loving Mother Nature so it's nice to be able to share that with people that feel the same way… you. Shellers!

This mask is great for clubs and beginners due to its quality and modest price.
To Size for this Mask: You want to measure around the head / face, starting underneath the chin (make sure the soft ruler/yarn is positioned closer to the neck), up one side of the head just through one ear, over the top of the head, and down the other side just through the other ear, and then ending at the chin to make a complete circle.
Please Note: Use a soft ruler, or a piece of string or yarn to measure afterwards. Make sure to keep what you are using to measure SNUG on your fencer's head/face.
Also Note: Our masks are slightly adjustable! If you receive your mask and are unsure of the fit, ask your coach to assist in adjusting it before you get a larger or smaller size!
If you measure in at the following, you need this size mask:
Starting from underneath the chin, go up the side of the head, over one ear, over the top of the head, back down the other ear, and back to under the chin to make a complete circle. (Essentially you're measuring the circumference of the part of your face that the mask will be encircling.) Use a soft ruler or yarn to measure, and make sure to keep it snug or else you'll wind up with a mask that's too large.
Also Note: Your masks are adjustable! If you receive your mask and are unsure if it fits, please ask your coach or an experienced team mate to help you adjust.

more iJunk. Bah humbug.
Woot has officially fallen off. My goodness, what happened here?
These are awesome. Seriously extends the life of a lousy battery.
'Yes, let me abandon my order..'
How many times have they put these up for sale...?
At this point I might not get to use my free shipping until midnight.
12:12 was 2 hours ago... woot! is in Texas

No 12:12 Big Ol' Cataclysm/blockquote>
I bought another one of these to replace my wife's broken one. We bought her the white originally, and she has dropped it a couple of times and broken the top of the case and the side a little. I have dropped my black one multiple times and it has been great. I think the material the black is made of is a little more solid, so replacing it with that. Love having the extra battery life.
True. Now I'm counting on them going with Hawaii time - 2 more hours to go if they are counting the full U.S. (they don't do daylight savings apparently so there is a couple more hours till 12:12) Which may be how long the battery case takes to sell out anyway.
ron76053 wrote:12:12 was 2 hours ago... w00t is in Texas
got one, hopefully it will work well
I bought this at the last time a few MONTHS ago - it's a great product. Only wish they had an iPhone 5 version as I sold my battery case with the iPhone 4S on eBay.
Definitely a deal at this price and 2x the run time. No exposed connector to snap off like other external battery packs.

We're not on Daylight Savings right now, so it should be the normal time difference
This is officially the best Woot purchase I have ever made. I recommend the black as its not slippery and flimsy like the white one. Pull the trigger on this you wont regret.
I'm excited that this allows charging and sync with the same standard micro USB my other devices use. No more carrying a proprietary charger!
Doesn't seem like such a great price:
Amazon has them for about $10 with 1900mah.

Systems, Cognitive, and Computational Neuroscience
The human brain is a network of 10 11 neurons with 1015 connections, making it the most complex system in the universe. Systems/cognitive neuroscience is the study of how information processing in this vast neural network gives rise to perception, memory, abstract thought, complex behavior, and consciousness itself. This is the mind/body problem, debated by philosophers for millennia, now accessible to empirical inquiry, and one of the great remaining scientific frontiers. Johns Hopkins has an unusual concentration of systems/cognitive laboratories, with a focus on quantitative, network-level understanding of cognitive information processing. Experimental tools include neurophysiology, brain imaging, and psychophysics. Analytical approaches involve systems identification, dimensionality reduction, information theory, and network modeling. One major area of interest is how visual and tactile information processing leads to perception and understanding of two- and three-dimensional objects. Another focus is on neural processing and recognition of speech and other complex sounds. Other laboratories study neural mechanisms of attention, memory formation, motor learning, decision-making and executive control of behavior.
