text: Culture 5 September 2005 The stuff of life Visual art - Richard Cork slows down at the National Gallery's still-life show Sign up for our weekly email * Still life: those two words may seem harmless enough. They suggest, in all their deceptive tranquillity, that we can feel reassured by gazing at images of everyday objects painted with meticulous skill. As a powerful exhibition at the National Gallery in London shows, however, even the most innocuous of these paintings turns out to harbour unexpected and often ominous meanings. By far the largest exhibit, from the energetic brush of Antwerp-based Joachim Beuckelaer, bombards us with a cornucopia of food. The women offering their wares at a fruit and vegetable market seem unable to stop the colossal cabbages, melons and heaped grapes from spilling off their stall. The profusion is astounding. And it seems bizarre when we realise just how much the southern Netherlands suffered, in the mid-16th century, from acute impoverishment. Nobody could accuse Velazquez of getting carried away by lavishness in his kitchen scene. The only food visible on the plain wooden table are fish, garlic, pepper and eggs, presided over by a simple jug of oil. The beefy young maid wielding a pestle and mortar seems overcome by sulkiness; a faraway sense of yearning lurks in her eyes. Yet the older woman appears to be reproving her, while, through an opening beyond the kitchen, we see Christ sitting with Martha and Mary. The religious group is far more visible than the holy family in Beuckelaer's ostentatious canvas. And Velazquez may have wanted to link the maid's indolence to Mary, spellbound at Christ's feet while Martha indignantly did the housework. The mood darkens as we move through this elegiac show. Violence becomes overt, first in a playful way when Willem van Mieris depicts a cat directing a voracious gaze up at a dead bird dangling upside down from a stone ledge. Soon, though, we realise that most still life is vulnerable above all to inherent processes of decay. Courbet, imprisoned in 1871 for his involvement with the short-lived Commune's left-wing revolt in Paris, felt aggrieved by his sentence. Suffering from intestinal pain, he produced a small yet monumental painting of a plate heaped with apples. Probably given to Courbet by visitors while he was in prison, the fruit is depicted in all its sensuous, palpable solidity. But then we become conscious of the apples' swollen dimensions. Both they, and the yellow quince at the front of the dish, seem strangely outsize. Transience is by no means conveyed solely through rotting fruit. It can be expressed even in objects that appear sturdy and dependable. The crude yellow chair painted by Vincent Van Gogh in 1888 has a peasant strength. He must have acquired it in Arles, and the thick wooden legs seem as tough as the large, slab-like floor tiles on which they rest. Van Gogh intended the painting as a kind of self-portrait: his pipe and tobacco pouch rest on the rush seat. Around the same time, he painted a red-and-green companion picture called Gauguin's Chair. It is a more refined and ornamental affair, with a lit candle glowing in the nocturnal gloom. Van Gogh saw himself as a simpler, more earthly character than his friend, who wanted to remove art from observed reality and explore a more abstract alternative. Other artists are prepared to jettison ambiguity and plump for the doom-laden theme of vanitas alone. The memento mori was especially prevalent in the 17th century, when Valentin de Boulogne painted The Four Ages of Man with a despondent boy, a lovesick youth, a wearily dozing middle-aged soldier and a wealthy yet sad old man seeking oblivion in a flagon of wine. The melancholy is oppressive, but at least Valentin refrains from including the skull dominating Harmen van Steenwyck's bleak canvas, which bears the remorseless subtitle An Allegory of the Vanities of Human Life. A century later, Chardin adopts a subtler approach in his delicate painting of a well-dressed boy patiently assembling a house of cards. The evident fragility of the child's construction is offset by Chardin's alert fascination with textures, light and minimally stated form. Even so, the human awareness of mortality has never disappeared from art. Only three years ago, in a chilling DVD called A Little Death, Sam Taylor-Wood placed the corpse of a hare alongside a peach on a table top. The composition pays overt homage to the vanitas tradition, yet Taylor-Wood pushes decay to an extreme by filming the process over a nine-week period. The result, fastened up to a projection speed of only four and a half minutes, is shockingly repellent. Within seconds the hare, hanging from a nail, succumbs to rampaging rot. Maggots swarm across its body, glittering in the sunlight as they consume all the flesh. They thrive as the flesh is reduced to a pitiful state of decomposition, while a disgusting, mottled stain appears on the wall behind the body. The fur falls on the table and assumes the form of a wild, festering landscape. Yet the peach, to our astonishment, remains whole and unaffected. Although Taylor-Wood did not intend it to withstand the putrefaction so rampant elsewhere, it persists in glowing at the end, like a defiant and unexpected affirmation. "The Stuff of Life" continues at the National Gallery, London WC2, until 2 October.

Would you like your child to feel that he is more revered than everyone else in the universe? Would you like him to demand preferential treatment? To believe he is a speshul snowflake, deserving of speshul status?
Easy! Follow these simple tips!
1. Give him his own present whenever anyone else gets one.
Brother's birthday? He gets a present too. Best friend's baby shower? He gets a present too. No one is ever more special than Li'l Junior!
2. Fix him a special meal when he doesn't like what you prepared for the family.
You prepared spaghetti for dinner, but it makes him whine? Make him his own plate of food. Be sure to ask what he would like instead.
3. Encourage false talent.
Your kid can't carry a tune in a bucket? Disregard that and demand that he is the lead in the Christmas musical.
4. Buy him a small gift or token whenever you go to the store.
He must feel that he is always deserving of gifts.
5. Allow him to attend the birthday party that the older sibling was invited to.
Be sure to ask for a party favor for him too.
6. When throwing a tantrum, the best way to stop it is giving him the candy he wanted but you originally denied.
Curtail this behavior by not denying his requests. Ever.
7. Blame everyone and everything else for a fault or failure.
Didn't finish homework? The teacher gave too much and brother was too loud so she couldn't focus. Lost a friend? Wasn't worth having if they couldn't see past the rude/arrogant/unfair behavior to the wonderful person she REALLY is.
8. Always do for him what he can do for himself.
If he asks for a drink while you are cooking dinner, stop what you are doing to get it for him, even though he is perfectly capable of getting it himself.
9. Never make her clean up her own messes.
She tires easily, you know.
10. Don't follow through on consequences, and often make idle threats.
11. Force other children to give over their toys to him.
Whether they were playing with it at the time is irrelevant.
12. Acknowledge him when he interrupts a conversation to show him that what he says is more important than what you were listening to.
13. Always take his side when any other adult calls him out for a disciplinary issue.
Alternately, hand him excuse after excuse as to why he "can't help" his behavior.
14. Don't allow him to face disappointment.
He missed the deadline for turning in the extra credit that qualifies him for a special prize? Put the finishing touches on it, and drive it up to the school yourself.
15. Make sure everyone on his team gets a trophy the same size as the team who won first place.
16. Don't ever make him wait to be served.
You don't want him to become hungry. That makes him cranky.
17. Don't make him serve others.
This will only make him feel that others could possibly be more deserving than he is.
18. Always say "please" in a begging tone when requesting anything of him.
If he refuses, let it go immediately.
19. Whenever a classmate or friend gets a new toy, run right out and get your child one too.
Make sure it is the newest model.
20. Never, ever criticize his efforts or let him know you expect him to try harder at something.
Pretending not to notice half-hearted attempts is best.
21. Overpraise everything she does, whether it is excellent or not.
You can barely read the essay she wrote for English class? Tell her how creative she is at spelling!
22. Always stop what you are doing whenever she addresses you.
Never make her wait until you are through with a task.
23. Always excuse bad behavior.
"He was probably hungry. The low blood sugar makes him cranky," is a good standby.
24. Never make him answer for his own poor choices.
Step in to explain for him.
25. Go into debt buying a new car when he turns 16.
Make sure it is the model with the usb port for charging his iPhone.
By following these simple steps consistently you will soon have a child who believes his needs and wishes are superior to the needs and wishes of those around him!
Now, go give your little narcissist a hug. And a prize. Preferably a toy.

It threw me off when I first laid eyes on it. There's a random kitten on the boxart, a yellow mouse, the world's raining cheese, he's standing on the only building that's left standing.
I was in for a large disappointment. World domination! Oh my! It's just really uninteresting to me.
The controls are what you expect. Two buttons I don't understand are move character and character move. What's the big difference?
So yeah, apparently this is karting game by the character art... what. By the way, Tiptup is the worst character in the game, don't play as him.
So there's worlds too. As hinted in the story. Yeah, the layout's more confusing than the Great Maze. I really don't need to know what moves are available in the world, do I?
Oh, and there's not any more. That's it. The end.
The empty void calls again. Screw off.
I really would have liked the game I guess if it stayed true to the cover, but I guess covers always lie. Disappointing, and incomplete. I don't approve.
Rated by Overclocked President, Sorastitch. Yeah.
Hybrid Co.
Average, meh but detailed story but is hard to tell what actually happens in the game at times. I echo what sora has said and I cannot stress how much more content needs to be added. Unoriginality with Rareware is common and ripping off the Banjo-Kazooie series really makes it not really that imaginetive for Fantendo. Do the characters play different?

5.0 stars 7 totalReview Mark Wagner
Posted by Russell
Attorney Mark Wagner did an excellent job representing me in my injury claim. He is thorough, dedicated and excellent in his field. Through tenacity and uncompromising ethics he got me the best and fairest settlement I could hope for. I would recommend him to anyone facing an injury claim.
Posted by Kathy
Thank you, thank you Mark. Mark is awesome. If you want an honest caring lawyer Mark is the person. He took on my L & I case for my OJI back injury that was closed and won the battle. It was through a self insured co which made the task even harder. I will be receiving a pension now. Thanks Mark
Posted by anonymous
I previously had an extremely unprofessional attorney up until last year. He got me cut off my time loss and I was seriously neglected.
So I started to search the depths of the all mighty and powerful internet to find a good attorney. I came accross this site and read all about Mark. I had a sit down with him and instantly felt welcomed. He didn't look down at me nor looked at me like a paycheck. Within a month he had got my case back in order and got me my back time loss as well. I would recommend him anytime and to anyone. This is a great lawyer and a great firm to work with.

In Aug 07 I suffered an on the job injury. I tried to deal with the issue on my own. I was frustrated, scared, intimidated and felt alone, as well as suffering from extreme pain.
A friend recommended the name of an attorney. Mark C. Wagner. I called Mr. Wagner's office and got an appointment right away. The office was easy to find, had a pleasant atmosphere and staff. I was even offered coffee.
After my interview with Mr. Wagner and a member of his staff, I was relieved to hear that he would take my case on a contingency basis and felt confident that he had many years experience in his field and was familiar with Self Insured Injury claims.
Mr. Wagner and his staff took care of everything, keeping in touch with me throughout as well as explaining the process to me, sending me copies of documents , and I could call the office any time with concerns or questions. As well as periodic appointments face to face so Mr. Wagner could explain things and see how I was doing.
Mr. Wagner represented me in the necessary hearings, and even took the time to call me on days I was not required to attend to explain to me how the hearings were progressing.
Mr. Wagner got the department to reopen my case, got my workers compensation reinstated as well as I received back pay.
Mr. Wagner helped to get my medical reinstated and helped me arrange for the proper and necessary treatment I was in need of.
Due to Mr. Wagner's belief in myself and my case, as well as his determination and dedication, I have now been awarded a pension for my work injury. I no longer have to worry about my future. I can now just concentrate on myself, and getting on with my life.
I will and have recommend Mr. Mark C Wagner to anyone in need of an injury attorney, or any services he offers. He and his staff show the utmost level of professionalism, they are kind, compassionate, caring and honest.
Posted by VM
I came to Mark in 2003 with a complicated and frustrating L&I claim with a combative and unsupportive employer. Mark cut through every roadblock with skill and determination. Mark then successfully applied the same tenacity to the subsequent Social Security fight. We were successful in both cases.
It was a very good day in my life when I met Mark Wagner. I cant imagine how things might have been had Mark not been in our corner.
Posted by mike
i used mark for a L&I injury claim which l&i stoped paying me and issued me a $10.000 over payment. in about 2 weeks mark was able to fix everything. i recieved timeloss for 4 1/2 years with zero problems thanks to mark
Posted by anonymous
I was fortunate enough to be referred to Mr. Mark Wagner. During my time as his client, Mr. Wagner has secured for me many rights the injured worker often cannot win on his own. The most notable would be a hard-fought victory in my pursuit to have a spinal cord stimulator implant. Washington State Labor and Industries does not recognize this as a curative device, even though my results of the procedure have proven otherwise. In fact, Mr. Wagner is the only attorney I am aware of who has successfully obtained this right for his clients. Mr. Wagner truly is a caring man who wants only the best for my family and myself and is always looking out for my well-being. I consider myself very fortunate to have an attorney with such compassion and determination for his job. I could not be happier with the job he has done!

Hotpoint makes a variety of products, including washing machines. Hotpoint is specific about the installation of its machines. If the machine is not installed properly in your home, the washer may not perform properly. If the agitator will not spin, it doesn't mean that there is a broken component. Before replacing expensive parts of the machine, it is a good idea to troubleshoot common issues with the agitator, as outlined in the steps to follow. If the washer is still under warranty, call Hotpoint for advice.
Check that the drain hose is installed properly, according to the instructions included with your machine, if the washer will not spin after the first drain cycle.
Pull the drain hose out and inspect it for blockages. Remove the drain hose from the machine and look through it. Remove any clogs with a clothes hanger.
Press the rinse/hold button to see if the machine is paused.
Remove the clothes load from the washer and try to wash again with a smaller load. If the load is too large or off balance, the machine may not drain properly.
Check the lid switch on the machine and see if it is broken or bent. The lid switch give the washer a signal that the machine is closed.
Call a service professional if the issue continues after you've tried all of these troubleshooting methods..

So much of our culture stokes our desire and our greed, because that's what fuels the economy, not thankfulness and gratefulness.
The books below are defiantly counter-cultural, because they will help you to feel satisfied and whole. Sure, there's longing and striving inside these books, but I think overall the reader will walk away from these books feeling a strong satisfaction and wellness about the world.
The books below are not "What Terrible Lives These Characters Lead! Be Thankful You're Not Like Them!"
That's not true thankfulness.
That's actually a type of smugness.
You can read Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and think, "Boy, I'm sure glad that I'm not getting scalped and tortured in the hardscrabble West!" But I don't think most people would select that book from a line-up if they were looking for something to help them feel more thankful.
True thankfulness is feeling grateful for everything that you have without comparing yourself to anyone else. Comparison is the death of thankfulness.
The books below help you feel genuine thankfulness about your life. They have characters who are thankful, a celebration of the beautiful parts of the world, and a right prioritization about what constitutes the good life.
|I start with Wendell Berry because everything he writes, from his poetry to his nonfiction to his fiction, exudes a kind of well-ordered approach to the world.
In this novel, Jayber Crow, there's a solid sense of what it takes to live the good life, and Jayber is grateful for the world, for the patterns of farming, and for the simple things.
It's impossible to read without feeling a sense of satisfaction for the bedrock elements of beauty in our own lives.
|Isn't it strange that a book describing a couple who are dead on the beach can make you feel more alive?
Yet Jim Crace accomplishes just that. By detailing the very specific and beautiful way that nature takes care of decomposing bodies, this book ultimately celebrates what makes us human.
I guarantee you'll feel more appreciative of life after reading this.
|If you can set aside the giant squid, Sasquatch, and space aliens, Busy Monsters is ultimately a celebration of marriage. That's the beating heart: undying love for a spouse. It makes me feel grateful for the institution of marriage, and the commitments you make inside matrimony.
Besides, every single sentence in this book is a carnival, and if you can avoid feeling envy for such a mastery of the English language, you will feel deep thankfulness for the beauty of words.
|There's such a beautiful, funny, charismatic energy to this book, specifically from the main character Mr. Blue.
From giving millions of dollars away to the poor, to celebrating poverty by living in a cardboard box, Mr. Blue never falls prey to petty coveting and lust for wealth. He is the perfect picture of thankfulness.
It's an unabashedly religious book, but ultimately it has such an exalted vision of the human life, of all that is possible and glorious, that you can't help but be infected by it.
|Jack Gilbert is a mensch. A true mensch.
I've posted one of his poems to the left — "A Brief for the Defense." It's a poem from his Collected Poems that offers a defiant happiness in the face of the sadness of the world. This joy in spite of tragedies is a hallmark of a thankful life. As Gilbert says:
Risk delight.
Have stubborn gladness.
Give thanks even for the end.
Admit there will be music despite everything.
|Is there another book with such power to make you marvel at the natural world?
When you read Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, you are filled with wonder and gratefulness for the glory that is nature.
Annie Dillard has such a curious mind, and writes so beautifully, you want to wander out to a meadow and make snow angels in the grass.
If nothing else, she teaches you to be thankful for the world we live in.

Minimizing Energy Consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Binary Integer Linear Programming
The important issue considered in the widespread deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is an efficiency of the energy consumption. In this paper, the authors present a study of the optimal relay station planning problems using Binary Integer Linear Programming (BILP) model to minimize the energy consumption in WSNs. Their key contribution is that the proposed model not only ensures the required network lifetime but also guarantees the radio connectivity at high level of communication quality. Specially, they take into account effects of noise, signal quality limitation and bit error rate characteristics. Numerical experiments were conducted in various network scenarios.

When you look for dumpster rentals here you essentially have two options: nationwide chains or a local company like Eagle Dumpster Rental.

Kanto is a geographical region of Pokémon first appearing in the Pokémon Red and Blue games of 1996 (1998 for the US) based on the region of Japan by the same name.
In Pokémon Red and Blue you travel the land getting all eight gym badges. Once you have the badges, you take on the elite four. After you defeat the elite four, it is revealed that your rival (Blue) has become Pokémon champion right under your nose. You challenge your rival one last time and become a pokemon master.
In Gold and Silver, you see Kanto three years after the events in Red and Blue. You take on the 8 gyms of the region (Koga is replaced with his daughter Janine and Giovanni is replaced with Blue) and head up to Mt.Silver and fight Red (the player from Red and Blue.)
Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Silver, Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon Fire Red, Pokémon Leaf Green, Heart Gold and Soul Silver involve Kanto.
In Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow, the player's adventure is strictly limited to Kanto.
In Pokémon Fire Red, and Pokémon Leaf Green, the player has access to Kanto in addition to the Sevii Islands.
In Pokémon Silver, Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Crystal, Heart Gold and Soul Silver, the player's adventure is initially limited to Johto but is allowed access to Kanto after defeating the Elite Four.

Part I of II
Once upon a time there was a garter snake that was born along with six other garter snakes in a dark and gloomy cave. He was different than his brother and sister snakes. He couldn't see-he was blind. Not only that, he was entirely white from his head down to his tail. He was an albino, only he didn't know it because he was blind. His brothers and sisters called him "NoSee" since he couldn't see. They didn't know how to treat him. He was so strange and difficult to be with. While he was growing up with his brothers and sisters, NoSee couldn't keep up with them. He slithered around but he kept banging into things and lost his way sometimes. His siblings paid no attention to him and wouldn't even try to find him. He became sad and lonely.
On one of his family's trips to learn how to hunt, he wandered off and really lost his way. He slithered around and around but couldn't find the scent of his family – that is the way garter snakes stay together.
What was he to do? It was getting toward nightfall and he didn't want to move around in the dark. He had found a toad or two by accidentally slithering into them and found a place to stay under an overhanging rock. This sheltered him from weather and the hot sun. NoSee curled up and slept dreaming of all of the slugs, earthworms, lizards and rodents he would eat the next day.
When his eyelids lightened up, he knew it was day. Hunger overcame him so he slithered around but he didn't bump into anything. When he did, the only way he could tell what it was, was if he stretched out around the object until he got an idea of how big it was. Sometimes it was another reptile or an object like a large stone or big lizard who snapped at him. NoSee did not like that! He missed his family.
One day he stumbled onto the scent of another garter snake and followed it. All of a sudden another garter snake jumped him and they started to tangle. NoSee didn't know what to do. He sometimes used to play with his brothers and sisters by tangling with them. This was different this snake was bigger than him and was getting the best of him. Then the fighting suddenly stopped and the intruder slithered off.
"Hello, Whitey," the intruder said to him. "I've never seen a white garter snake before."
NoSee followed with, "I'm blind also. That's why I'm called NoSee."
"Well, what do you know," hissed the other snake. "An albino snake that's blind. How do you find food and a place to stay?"
"It's very difficult to say the least," was the reply.
"You poor snake," murmured the intruder.
Will this mysterious snake help NoSee?

|Let the memory of Berkley be with us forever
"To the family:
"There is an appointed time for everything, A time for every activity under the heavens: A time for birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what was planted; A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up; A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to wail and a time to dance; A time to throw stones away and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away; A time to rip apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace." - Ecclesiates 3:1-8.
May you have more times of "healing", "laughing", "dancing", and "loving" than "weeping" and "wailing" with each passing year; and may cherished memories keep baby Berkley forever alive in your hearts.
One day very soon, you will experience a time of perfect happiness and everlasting peace as you welcome him back to life!...... "Then, taking the hand of the child, he said to her: "Talʹi·tha cuʹmi," which, when translated, means: "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" And immediately the girl rose and began walking. (She was 12 years old.) And at once they were beside themselves with great ecstasy. Mark 5:41, 42. May meditating on the reality of this bible account comfort you."
"Please accept sincere condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. May you find strength and comfort in the Bible's promise about a time when sickness and even death will be gone forever! (Revelation 21:3 & 4; John 11: 43, 44); Though his life was brief, may the journey of the pregnancy, the joy of his birth, and fun filled moments of his lIfe fill you with fond memories that will keep him living in your hearts until God's promises are fulfilled (John 6:40). I am very sorry for your loss."
"How sweet he was. RIP little beauty"
"Think of you often little guy! We all miss you - the emptiness in our hearts is there forever. Love you Berkley - your Grandpa."
"rest in peace little one"
"We miss you little man...your stay was far too brief, but your impact incredible and growing.

Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the federal house of representatives, is optimistic that the "change" promise of the federal government will be fulfilled.
Speaking at the weekend when he visited David Victor Folagbade Olateru-Olagbesi, the olowo of Owo Kingdom, in Ondo state, Dogara expressed hope of a better future for the country, but urged the people to support the government.
"As a government, we need support of the citizens to make life better for them. We realise that we need active participation of the people in the change agenda of the government," he said.
"We are aware of what some people in some quarters are saying about the change promised by this government. Government can only provide the enabling environment. Now we have hope that change will definitely come because there is a clear departure from the past.
"Government alone cannot bring about the change we need. We need active support and participation of the citizen.There is nothing that is impossible."
Highlighting the role of citizen participation in the change agenda, he noted that while government will provide the enabling environment for people's businesses and other aspirations to prosper, the people must engage in wealth creation.
"When we talk about change, a lot of people are beginning to ask: when is the change coming? We know that all we can do as government is to provide enabling environment," he continued.
"And no matter the question that is being asked, if you look at the set of people who are there today as leaders, we know that there is change because there is a clear departure from the past.
"But we know that it is impossible for government alone to bring about the needed change. Citizens themselves must determine that they want change and they want to change at their own individual level.
"We believe that with the support and participation of the citizens, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. There is nothing that we set our hearts to achieve that we cannot achieve as a people.
"The support of the traditional institution is important in sensitizing the citizens to not only support the government but to be the change they want to see and that is the way the society can change and we can restore back the greatness of this country."
He noted that the national assembly is partnering with the executive to make the change agenda a reality, and not to clash with any arm of government.
"In some cases, people are asking why the legislature is quiet on some issues or why we are not fighting the executive.
"I want to underpin the fact that we don't see our role or relationship as collision but supportive of whatever is there to achieve by the executive to lessen the burden of the people and improve their living conditions.
"We don't adopt a posture just for the sake of proving that we have separate powers as allocated to us by the constitution; we cooperate more to ensure that good is delivered to the people.
"It is only when democracy is threatened that we raise our voices. And I remember we have been doing that in this government in how we handled the crisis in Kogi state house of assembly. It was actually an APC leader who led investigation into the matter and we condemned the impunity even as members of the ruling party. This is the change we are talking about."

In a college campus where you are either sitting by yourself in the cafeteria, library, or outside reading a book/studying or chatting with a friend? Is it a good time to approach?
Or would I be rudely interrupting you and just get shamed and dismissed at the spot?
Most Helpful Girl
When I'm by myself of course! It's always a good time to approach, even if the girl on the move or on her phone - still approach her! But if she's talking with a friend then probably not a good idea as you will be interrupting their conversation. But if that's the only time you can approach her just ask if you can talk to her for a minute, once you get her alone just say "I wanted to say hi" or a question :)
Don't be afraid to approach women! If I were approached I'd be flattered and I'd take time out to talk to you!00|00|0

Yes that's great, go for it!00|00|0

Guess where I'm eating a prosciutto and brie sandwich?

Can you guess where I'm eating?

Kivett's 10th-Inning Single Seals Series-Opening Win
Kivett's 10th-Inning Single Seals Series-Opening Win
May 20, 2011
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Freshman second baseman Ross Kivett singled on a full-count pitch with two outs in the bottom of the 10th to give Kansas State an 11-10 walk-off win over Kansas in the series opener Friday evening at Tointon Family Stadium.
K-State improved to 32-21 and 10-14 in Big 12 play in its quest to claim a spot in next week's Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. The Wildcats need one victory in the final two games of the series to earn the tourney's final berth. Kansas fell to 26-28 overall and 9-16 in conference action.
Kivett's single capped a furious comeback after the Wildcats trailed 8-4 in the seventh inning. The wild four-hour, 14-minute game in front of 2,063 fans featured six multi-run innings.
The winning rally started innocently enough when pitcher Alex Cox (4-4) retired Wade Hinkle on a ground out. But the right-hander then hit Tanner Witt and Dan KIein with pitches to put the winning run in scoring position. After Jake Brown fanned for the second out, Kivett worked the count full before slapping a one-hopper just to the left of diving second baseman Kaiana Eldredge to score Witt for the game-winner.
"It was tough. Both teams are fighting for their lives," head coach Brad Hill said. "There is a lot on the line for both of us, and that's the way both teams played. There was a lot of pressure out there on a lot of people, and there were a lot of positive things that happened. It was a great ballgame to watch for the fans. It was a great effort by both teams. We were just fortunate to come out on top."
The Wildcats recorded 15 hits – a season high in Big 12 play – with six doubles to tie a season best. led K-State by going 3-for-6 with two doubles and a career-high tying four RBI. added three RBI on two hits, including his 10th home run in the third. Kivett, , and Hinkel had two hits each.Nick MartiniKent UrbanJason KingJared King

Kivett, , and Hinkel had two hits each.Nick MartiniKent UrbanJason KingJared King
James Allen (3-1) got the win in relief. The right-hander surrendered a run in the ninth that allowed KU to take a 10-9 lead, but he left the bases loaded in the frame and worked around a one-out single in the 10th.
K-State, which had leads of 2-0 and 4-3 early in the game, found itself in trouble down 8-4 after KU scored a run in the seventh. But the Cats battled back in their half of the inning by plating three runs on consecutive RBI doubles by Jason and Jared King to cut the deficit to 8-7.
KU got one of the runs back in the eighth on a wild pitch, but K-State responded again to tie the game at 9-9 on Jared King's second-straight two-RBI double, a towering shot into the left-center field gap.
Allen came out of the Wildcat bullpen to work the ninth inning and surrendered a leadoff single and a walk to put two Jayhawks on base with one out. Allen fanned Eldridge for the second out, but pinch-hitter Jordan Dreiling hit the first pitch he saw through the right side to give Kansas a 10-9 advantage.
KU reliever Frank Duncan, who got the Jayhawks out of the eighth inning, allowed a one-out single to Jake Brown in the ninth, then walked two batters and hit Martini with the bases loaded to tie the game at 10-10. K-State had a great opportunity to win the game but Jason King grounded into a force out at the plate and Jared King flied out to send the game into extra innings.
The loss spoiled a solid effort by Jayhawk starter T.J. Walz, who allowed a RBI single by Hinkle and a sacrifice fly in the second before Jason King's two-run homer in the third. After that, the right-hander settled down to record three scoreless frames and ended the night with six strikeouts in a career-high 135 pitches.
The Wildcats improved to 9-11 in one-run games this season and posted their second extra-inning victory in four opportunities.
Kansas State and Kansas continue their three-game series with a 6 p.m., first pitch Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence. The game can be heard in the Manhattan area on SportsRadio 1350 KMAN and online at both www.k-statesports.com and www.1350kman.com.

The location was great.
the staff were very helpful, good breakfast buffet, clean room and having the sofa in the room added an additional and welcome place to read or sit and enjoy a conversation. Plenty of options there in Coesfeld to walk around, find a place for dinner. Easy access to train to get into Munster. The bowling alley just under our room was a bit loud, but it was fun to hear people enjoying themselves.
Friendly Service. Uncomplicated
The included breakfast was very good. The room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke, which was very unpleasant. That was the only negative with this hotel.
Everything I booked the hotel using AMEX but when I got there they did not accept AMEX. If I didn't have a VISA this would have been a problem.
Very nice location. very compliant staff. good food and variety. Moat was very nice and main building. facilities very good The on line system not carrying out requests!! The room should not of been advertised superior as it most certainly was not. Even as a three star I am unsure it would fit that description. Should of been informed that the double bed was two beds put together as my partner and I being a young couple in love found making love an obstacle course as the beds kept spliting and us falling through!!! Had I known I would of booked one double bed not two odd sized beds put together. I am not sure whether I would stay again because of the room I would like to see what better rooms were on offer.
Very special place Humidity in the room

Great atmosphere, extreme friendly staff
Very beautiful castle, in an ideal situation to visit the area of Munsterland and its castles. Very nice room in the central building of the castle, comfortable and spacious. Excellent dinner, breakfast and service. Easy to park and free of charge! Better information on the location and services related to the fitness facilities and swimming pool is needed.
Evening staff were excellent, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. Large, well prepared and tasy food portions. Good facilities. Helpful reception staff. Breakfast staff made us and other guests feel like we were in the way. Cleaning around us to get their work done. Everything seemed to be too much trouble. We had to clear and lay our own table as it was clear that the staff were not going to do it. Maybe some training needed for the breakfast staff.
Very good restaurant and friendly service
The staff was very nice and knew English very well and also understood our less then perfect German. Cute hotel with very tasty and good food. Big room and big beds. Very clean and nice. Lots and lots of flies in the restaurant, as the hotel is right next to fields with crop and cows. The pillows were slippery and too soft, woke up with pain in my neck.
Clean, comfortable hotel next to the Church. The bells in the morning where unexpected but not unpleasant. Food was good with an excellent breakfast.
Both the quality of the evening dinner and support from the hotel staff was excellent
Too much cigarette smoke in common areas of the hotel
Even though it was close to the highway, there was a lot of green around and wildlife (rabbits hopping around, birds tsjirping,...), very efficient check-in and check-out, very nice breakfast
This is a respectable place to spend one night on the way from A to B if necessary. Montana Hotel Senden is essentially a truck stop at a service station next to a Mercedes factory(?) in the middle of nowhere.
Family arrangement, unusual for a business-oriented hotel. We booked an arrangement for a family with 2 kids. We got 2 adjacent rooms for far less than the regular price for 2. We booked and got non-smoking rooms which were located in an entirely non-smoking wing of the hotel. But the smell of old cold smoke in the stairway was unpleasant at best.
good breakfast. Asked for a no smoking room but didn't get one.
Going into Munster town No tea or coffee on arrival in rooms
The room was very clean there was no kettle in the room or tea/coffee I think this would be a facility they should provide. Staff were very friendly. It was also good that we were close to the motorway and small villages where we had a very nice meal. If necessary there is also a supermarket close by which was open until 22.00.
Very convenient & comfortable.
The hotel was really nice, modern, clean, good furniture, quiet, the breakfast was very good, the staff was nice and helpfull.
The owner is nice,this is my second time to live there. they gave me the better room than last time.
The quietness.
friendly staff, but obviously run on a budget.continental breakfast was just adequate with insufficient bread rolls.
Extremely polite and forthcoming staff. The kitchen was servicing a special event when we arrived; nevertheless we have been offered an excellent lunch. The dinner was also excellent, the cuisine of this hotel is remarkable. It is very clean, well maintained and the place is very quiet. Nothing that we did not like; the hotel is a bit far from the city, but one enjoys the nature.
Very quiet place Nothing

New Mexican cuisine is based on native ingredients like corn, beans, squash and chiles, and incorporates Mexican, Native American and Spanish flavors - but chile, whether red or green, is always the most important element. In fact, our official state question is "Red or green?" Both types of chile can be instantly addictive, as you'll find out when you try these

New Mexico Green Chile Sauce Recipe
Chile is a sauce made from red or green chiles and served hot over many New Mexican dishes. Chile does not use vinegar, unlike most salsas, picantes and other hot sauces. This basic, yet versatile sauce can be used to create enchiladas, or pour over chimichangas, tacos or burritos.
1 tablespoon butter or lard
2/3 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons flour
1-1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup (or more) chopped green chiles
1 large clove garlic, finely minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of ground cumin
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft. Stir in the flour. Add the broth.
Then add chiles, garlic, salt and cumin. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Makes 2 cups.

New Mexico Red Chile Sauce Recipe
This version of New Mexico's famous red chile sauce is from the ABQ Cuisine Expert, Gwyneth Doland. Mixed with shredded pork, it is used as a tamale filling, but all by itself it is also ladled over tamales as well as enchiladas, huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos, stuffed sopaipillas, chiles rellenos, and almost anything else you can think of. You may not need 4 cups of the sauce for your recipe, but you might as well make the whole batch; freeze extra portions in small re-sealable plastic containers for later use.
24 dried red New Mexico chiles
4 cups beef stock, chicken stock, or water
2 tablespoons bacon grease, lard, or vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
Honey (optional)
In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, roast the chiles on both sides (you'll have to do this in batches) until they soften slightly and become aromatic. When the chiles are cool enough to handle, remove the stems and seeds.
Transfer the chiles to a deep saucepan and pour the stock or water over them. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the chiles to rest, about 15 minutes.
Working in batches, puree the chiles with their soaking liquid.
In the cast-iron skillet, over medium heat, melt the bacon grease or lard, or heat the oil. Add the garlic, and flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture becomes golden. Add the pureed chiles, and stir quickly while the sauce bubbles and spatters. Reduce the heat, add the oregano, and simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt. If the sauce is a little bitter, mellow it with about a teaspoon of honey, to taste.
Makes about 4 cups.

Pork and Red Chile Tamales
Nothing says holidays to many New Mexicans like a warm tamale. Unwrapping the tamale is like unwrapping a little present. Tamales consist of a cornmeal dough made from hominy (called masa) and are usually filled with sweet or savory filling, wrapped in corn husks and steamed until firm. Tamales were one of the staples found by the Spanish when they first arrived in Mexico. Tamales are very time intensive and often made in large batches for special occasions with many people in a family or community participating in the tradition.
These pork and red chile tamales from ABQ Cuisine Expert Gwyneth Doland's cookbook "Tantalizing Tamales" are some of the most common tamales in the Southwest. They can be found in restaurants, cafés, and in coolers toted by strolling vendors. Everybody loves them, so make a bunch and freeze any leftovers. This recipe makes enough pork filling to make another batch of tamales, but you can always just use the extra pork for burritos or freeze it for later use.
2½ pounds boneless pork butt, trimmed of excess fat
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups red chile sauce
About 2 pounds of masa
At least 36 softened corn husks, plus 36 strips for tying
Arrange the pork butt in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed stockpot. Add the garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, and salt. Add enough cold water to cover by several inches. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for about 2 hours.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and allow it to rest 20 minutes. Using two forks, shred the meat. In a bowl, combine 2 cups of the shredded pork with enough New Mexico red chile sauce to thoroughly moisten the meat. To assemble the tamales, spread about ½ cup masa onto the center of each corn husk. Spoon some of the shredded pork filling down the center of the dough. Fold and tie the tamale; repeat with the remaining ingredients and husks.
Steam the tamales for 1 hour and serve slathered with the remaining New Mexico red chile sauce.
Makes about 24 tamales.

Chile-Seared Salmon with Sweet Pear Pineapple Salsa
Chiles love salmon-they add just the right accent to flavor the salmon to its greatest dimension. Fruity salsa, spiked with chiles, adds just the right complement.
1 tbsp ground mild red chile
1 tsp sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 pound fresh salmon filet, deboned
1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional)
1 cup Sweet Pear Pineapple Salsa (See
section for recipe)
In a small bowl, combine the chile, sugar and salt. Cut the salmon into two pieces. Rinse, then pat dry with a paper towel. Rub the chile mixture evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle salt in a heavy seasoned skillet (or an unseasoned skillet to which you have added the oil). Place over medium-high heat until hot. Sauté the salmon for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until crisp and brown on the outside and still moist and bright pink on the inside. Serve on a pool of salsa.
Makes 2 servings.
Recipe courtesy of Jane Butel's Southwestern Kitchen,
Red vs. Green Chile
Chile comes in two varieties depending on the stage of ripeness in which they were picked. The long, narrow green chiles are served freshly roasted and peeled. Most commonly, green chile is made into a spicy sauce that's ladled over many foods. Red chiles are left on the plants to ripen to a deep garnet color and strung in ristras to dry. After drying, the chiles are ground into a powder. These dried red chiles are rehydrated and pureed into a smooth sauce to flavor many foods.

Belgian surrogate baby stays with Dutch couple
28 November 2005, BRUSSELS — The Dutch foster parents of Belgian surrogate baby Donna will be allowed to keep the girl following a long and complicated legal battle.
28 November 2005
BRUSSELS — The Dutch foster parents of Belgian surrogate baby Donna will be allowed to keep the girl following a long and complicated legal battle.
The Dutch youth welfare service, Bureau Jeugdzorg Utrecht, has decided against appealing a Utrecht Court ruling allowing the girl to stay with the Dutch couple.
Despite refusing to take parental custody away from the Belgian biological parents at the end of October, the court ruled that there were indications of family life between the Dutch couple and baby Donna.
The decision by Bureau Jeugdzorg not to appeal the ruling means the girl will now stay permanently with the couple from Leusden, near Utrecht.
The Belgian surrogate mother gave Donna to the Dutch couple after initially promising to bear the baby to a heterosexual couple from the Belgian province of Limburg. It is suspected the surrogate mother sold the child.
A complicated legal battle then ensued as both the Dutch couple and the Flemish couple who initiated the surrogate pregnancy fought to gain custody of the girl.
While pregnant, the surrogate mother had offered the baby up for sale on the internet, while the Flemish couple was informed that she'd had a miscarriage.
Seven months into her pregnancy, the surrogate mother came into contact with the Dutch couple, who allegedly bought the baby for as much as EUR 15,000.
Complicating the issue were the claims from the prospective Flemish parents, that the man of that relationship was the biological father of the child. However, the surrogate mother claimed in turn her husband was the baby's father.
The eight-month-old Donna has lived with the Dutch couple since her birth and the couple eventually tried to deprive the Belgian biological parents of custody rights so that they could gain full parental authority.
Bureau Jeugdzorg has always said the girl should return to her country of birth, where she would probably end up in a foster family. However, the bureau has since accepted the court's ruling allowing Donna to stay in the Netherlands.

There are a number of different pests commonly associated with orchids. Here is a brief description of how to identify each type and how to get rid of them.
Aphids: Tiny green, white, yellow or pink insects (sometimes winged). Live and feed in colonies on young growth, buds or flowers. Stunt plant growth and spread disease.
Treatment: Calwest Tropical Neem Oil
Mealybugs: Small white cotton-like immobile insects. Form colonies at stem joints and near the base of leaves, usually on the underside.
Treatment: Calwest Tropical Neem Oil, Orange Guard
Scale: Small insects generally covered with a protective shell. Form colonies on stems, leaves, bulbs and rhizomes. Can spread fast, often by ants.
Treatment: Calwest Tropical Neem Oil
Spider Mites: Generally found on Cymbidiums. Although you need a hand lens to see the mites themselves, the signs of their presence are easily visible. Very small yellow or brown dots on the leaves with silvery webs on the underside.
Treatment: Calwest Tropical Neem Oil
Bacterial Rot: Soft, squishy dark brown/black areas on leaves or roots, usually caused by over-watering.
Treatment: Cut off infected parts and treat with Physan 20. Pruners should be disinfected with Physan 20 after each pruning to prevent spreading. Watering schedule should be reevaluated to reduce risk of recurrence.
Blackened leaf tips: Generally caused by salt in water or bad potting media.
Treatment: Prune off leaf tip with sterile pruners (Physan 20 can be used). Recommend repotting in a high quality fir bark, such as Orchiata, and using a high nitrogen fertilizer (such as Grow More Growth Formula 30-10-10) will help promote new root/leaf growth. Flushing potting media periodically with fresh water will also help prevent future burned leaf tips.
Virus: Will become most visible where chlorophyll in the leaf has been killed. Also can cause wrinkling/withering in leaves/flowers. Flowers will also have a mottled appearance. This is usually spread through infected pruners.
Treatment: None. Destroy infected plant. Pruners should be disinfected with Physan 20.
Tips & Warnings
- Neem Oil, Physan 20 and Orange Guard are all available at www.CalwestTropical.com
- This is only a brief synopsis of some of the more common pests/diseases. For a more in-depth analysis or orchid pests and diseases, refer to 'Orchid Pests and Diseases' published by the American Orchid Society. It is available at www.CalwestTropical.com
- Always be sure to sterilize pruners with Physan 20 after each plant pruned!!! This will eliminate the spread of disease from plant to plant due to cross-contamination.
