On Monday, we unpick the untold story of one of Australia's most enduring photographic mysteries.
In 2004 Sam Cullen and his wife Janet bought a rare collection of photographs at a London auction.
They were captivated by the haunting faces in the photos.
The couple began piecing together a puzzle few thought could ever be solved.
Their quest took them to the beautiful Clarence River region of NSW and into some of the most troubling aspects of our history.
Now, eight years down the track, the Cullens' labour of love has turned up some astonishing and surprising results which are revealed for the first time on Monday night...

Physics in the Headlines But Not in the Usual Way
By Michael S. Lubell, APS Director of Public Affairs
Suddenly physics, more precisely the physical sciences, math and engineering—but that's too much of a mouthful, so I'll stick with physics—is back on the agenda of politicians, policy makers, industrial leaders and the media.
It's not the discoveries and the Nobel prizes of the last few years that are creating the buzz, though they haven't hurt. Rather, it's the growing recognition in the circles that count that the nation really does depend on physics discoveries to stimulate the economy, enhance security and improve the health of the populace. And further that the physics enterprise is under significant stress from two decades of federal neglect, growing competition from abroad, and a tangle of education and workforce problems, which, left untreated, will seriously compromise the future of America.
Why the issue is suddenly gaining traction is a story in itself, one that would take too many words to tell in this column. Suffice to say that the threat is real and that physics advocates—many of them readers of "Inside the Beltway," I trust—have been able to break through the political cacophony and journalistic prejudice that usually relegate science and science policy to the back benches and the back pages.
A few examples deserve mention.

The federal government may be swimming in red ink, but apparently some opinion makers don't think it's worth sacrificing our future by shortchanging the physical sciences, mathematics and engineering. I agree. If you do too, "Speak out!"

Trailer: Tickled (2016)
I would've gone to this movie at SIFF 2016 if I'd known what it was about, but I saw the promo photo—buff guy in chains getting tickled—and went, "Nah."
But "Tickled" is more than a doc about tickling fetishists. It's about the NY company behind tickling videos, who's running it, and—based on conversations with friends who have seen the doc—whether what they're doing is criminally liable:
Now the filmmakers are being sued, and a website is devoted to discrediting the movie. Which makes me want to see it all the more.

Trailer: Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
This has a chance of being great. Ang Lee, yo. And it hits the right points about what's wrong with America (war as spectator sport, PR, not owning who/what you are), and maybe what's right. I just hope it doesn't hit them too hard, or misses for political/financial reasons. Great title, too.
Shocking seeing Vin Diesel in this, but he was in "Saving Private Ryan" before he turned himself into a cartoon. Kid (Joe Alwyn) looks about perfect. And when is Garrett Hedlund going to be a star? I thought that would've happened already.
Here's an excerpt from the New York Times review of the Ben Fountain novel on which the movie is based:
All this unfolds amid the constant attention of the public. Left to themselves, the Bravos act like a bunch of street-corner pervs who snap into politeness when required. Events are complicated by the halftime fireworks, which risk setting off P.T.S.D. flashbacks among the soldiers, who, if provoked, are primed to respond as a pack.

Trailer: The Founder
Fingers crossed. Keaton looks good, it's got John Carroll Lynch and Nick Offerman as the McDonald brothers, and it's written by the guy who wrote "The Wrestler." More worrisome, it's directected by John Lee Hancock, who gave us "The Blind Side," "Saving Mr. Banks," and the 2004 version of "The Alamo." Not a great track record. But a great American story. Fingers crossed.

Trailer: Fastball (2016)
I'm there for this, despite the presence of #2bercular. Looks interesting. Good choice for narrator, too. Due in theaters March 25 but probably available online shortly around then.
Jeff Wells has a nice short post here about going to batting cages with his son and not being able to hit 50- and 60-MPH pitches. It's amost a confession. Of course, he was in his, what, 50s then? In my 30s I used to go to the batting cages quite a bit, ostensibly to get ready for softball, but we'd always take a couple of rounds in the fastball cage. I could do 60s for a while but that was about it.
I've also done the opposite—those carnival-like speed pitch booths, where they time how fast you're throwing. Again, best I ever did, and this was about 20 years ago, was low 60s. That's not even a Jamie Moyer changeup. Professional baseball pitchers can't even throw that slow; I don't think they know how. And that's me practically throwing my arm out.
Again, looking forward to this.

'That's America's Housing Market': The Guy Behind 'Anchorman' Explains the Global Financial Meltdown
Here's a scene from the upcoming film, "The Big Short," based upon the book by Michael Lewis, and directed by Adam McKay, who has mostly directed comedies: "Anchorman," "Talledega Nights," "Step Brothers," and "The Other Guys":
Things to love about this scene:
- Steve Carrell's impatient, "OK," after Gosling's opening salvo: "What do you smell?/I smell money." It's the polite version of, "Get on with it, ClownFace."
- "Layers of tranches" leading to an on-screen explanation of "tranches."
- "Somewhere along the line, these Big Es and Double Big Es [is that right?] went from a little risky to dogshit. Where's the trash."
Plus the fact that they're trying to explain why the world works as it does.
Michael Lewis has a nice piece in the latest Vanity Fair on Hollywood turning his books into movies. His take is the antithesis of almost every take I've read on Hollywood. To most people, Hollywood is a place full of rapacious, rude, lowest-common-denominator crapmakers. To Lewis, the people in Hollywood are polite, charming, sadly inefficient, but when they get around to it they do a great job making movies from his books, including "Moneyball" and "The Blind Side." But he never thought anyone would make a movie out of "The Big Short." Too complicated. Here's the money shot:
High finance touches—ruins—the lives of ordinary people in a way that, say, baseball does not, unless you are a Cubs fan. And yet, ordinary people, even those who have been most violated, are never left with a clear sense of how they've been touched or by whom. Wall Street, like a clever pervert, is often suspected but seldom understood and never convicted.
It is my hope that Adam McKay's The Big Short might actually help change this situation.
Opens December 23.

34 days until opener
Re: 34 days until opener
Counting down the days here too Len, my spring break should coincide pretty well with the the beginning of the season, so I'm pretty pumped about that. Is there still snow on the ground up there, or is it still a mild winter like it is here?
Re: 34 days until opener
Here it's 34 days till still frozen like a brick.
Re: 34 days until opener
Even with the long winters Dan, you still get a half year of some of the best open water fishing in the the lower 48. Can't be complaining too much! Do you ice fish much up there?
Len - Any idea what day are the 2012 WI licenses available?
I was looking and it seems the start of trout season begins before you can pick up a new years license. That just doesn't seem right to me. Perhaps their site hasn't been updated.

Banking Scandals as a Mirror to the Struggle for World Domination
By Valentin Katasonov
Global Research
August 13, 2013
Global banks: a continuous series of scandals
Despite some stabilisation in the financial markets by the time the first wave of the crisis had come to an end (2007-2009), global banks are still not leading a quiet life. Since the beginning of the current decade, we have seen a continuous series of scandals surrounding the banks that make up the core of the global financial system. Violations and even crimes committed by banks at different times are being uncovered, financial regulators are carrying out official investigations into the activities of banks and there have also been legal proceedings. Banks are being forced to pay out enormous amounts in fines, and the circle of banks being pulled into the epicentre of the scandals is growing continuously.
It all started with the Swiss bank UBS, which the US authorities accused of concealing the assets of American taxpayers. In 2010, UBS collapsed after disclosing information about its American clients and transferring hundreds of millions of dollars to the US Treasury. After this, America set about disembowelling other banks in Switzerland. And then banks in other countries. They subjected them to fines, destroyed the concept of banking secrecy and virtually forced foreign banks to inform on their clients.
Then a series of scandals began related to the exposure of Iranian, Cuban and North Korean sanctions violations by world calibre banks. Giants of the City of London – Barclays, HSBC, The Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered – as well as banks in other European countries ended up on the list of those accused. Many of these banks were being accused of money laundering, collaborating with the drug mafia and even financing terrorism all at the same time. The accusations came from financial regulators in the US and Great Britain. It all ended with the banks paying enormous fines amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars per bank. The largest fine was paid by HSBC in 2012 and amounted to US$ 1.9 billion.
In the middle of summer 2012, a scandal began related to the Libor rate. The largest banks (predominantly European) were accused of manipulating rates in the London interbank lending market. The impact of these manipulations was huge, since financial markets amounting to hundreds of trillions of dollars are all guided by the Libor rate. In fact, the point at issue was that more than a dozen banks of world calibre had formed a cartel earning billions of dollars by manipulating the Libor rate with the unspoken agreement of central banks and financial regulators. In May of this year it came to light that a number of banks had manipulated another rate, known as ISDAfix, which the US $379 trillion derivatives market is guided by. An investigation has begun which is threatening to turn into a scandal of the same magnitude as the Libor affair.

Drupal 8 wants to provide a much improved workflow for content creators. One of the most critical screens in this is the content creation page. This issue outlines a plan for implementing a new design for this page.
Latest breakdown of sub-issues for this
Per comment #292, revised per #319. Please work on feature issues first. These are all unblocked now, though 3 and 4 are tied together.
- [task] commited: #723392: Tame seven's reset.css
- [task] committed: #1238484: [docs update] Ability to mark the form buttons to be of a specific type (so that they can be styled differently)
- [major][feature] committed: #1751606: Move published status checkbox next to "Save"
- [major][feature] committed: #1838114: Change node form's vertical tabs into details elements
- [major][feature] committed: #1838156: Implement the two-column layout for the new create content page
- [task] Needs work: #1751754: Implement new form style for Seven, based on blueprint mockups.
The main issues that this design wants to solve are:
- Make the publishing status of the content item much more obvious: Move the publishing state selection out of vertical tabs and position it closer to the Publish/Save actions. Provide a clear status label in the sidebar.
- Provide clearer seperation between content and settings: Make the vertical tabs less screen-space consuming by moving them into a sidebar as an accordion.
- Update and expand the visual language of the Seven admin theme to express all of the above in a clear and elegant form.
There's quite some background to this. We have documented our research and iterated on the design proposal.
What we'd like to build is this:
From our analysis of the feedback on the research and design proposal, we made a few adjustments to our original proposal. See the discussion points below for the parts that need more detailed design work still.
Remaining tasks *Please see implementation plan below for critical work*
See comment #147 for the results of usability testing, this resulted in the following issues to be fixed:
Publish state selection near save Visual separation between accordions was occasionally hard Error messages are often hidden from view (bug)
- Text format has too much visual prominence
- Design how to handle tabs and secondary tabs in #763720: Visiblity of primary & secondary navigation
- #1562776: Edit Summary label is unclear to users
- #1562782: Menu settings on content creation are unclear
- #1562798: Its hard for users to provide valid input in the authoring date field
- #1562802: Allow for more images in article
- #1562804: "Sticky on top" is hard to understand
Further discussion
- #1510550: Placement of the Save button(s)
- #1510566: Allow for accordion tabs to be configured per content type
- #1510544: Allow to preview content in an actual live environment
- Media content creation UI
- How to make this all configurable? A Blocks & layout iniative use case.
Implementation plan *updated*
We need help in refactoring this from a prototype patch to a full fledged core patch. We have a first implementation a single core patch, but it needed to be split up into sub-issues in order to review, refactor and commit in more sensible steps. This is what still needs to be done before feature freeze:
- #723392: Tame seven's reset.css
- #1238484: [docs update] Ability to mark the form buttons to be of a specific type (so that they can be styled differently)
- #1751606: Move published status checkbox next to "Save"
- Move the node form's vertical tabs to collapsible fieldsets.
- Implement 2 column layout for node forms using either new Blocks & Layouts system or not, depending on time constraints. A mobile layout was never explicitly designed, but the original core patch implemented a responsive layout. Make sure this works well on small screens as we refactor!
- #1751754: Implement new form style for Seven, based on blueprint mockups.
Unfortunately these patches are interdependent – no way around that.

|Needs work
|» Needs review
New issue created for the updated form style #1751754: Implement new form style for Seven, based on blueprint mockups.. List of tasks now stands as:
- #1747868: Modern CSS reset in Seven
- #1238484: [docs update] Ability to mark the form buttons to be of a specific type (so that they can be styled differently)
- #1751606: Move published status checkbox next to "Save"
- #1751754: Implement new form style for Seven, based on blueprint mockups.
- Move node forms vertical tabs to fieldsets.
- Implement Core's new Layout system (not sure how far along core is with this yet) to provide 2 column layout for node forms.
Sorry, but all these patches are interdependent - I really can see no way around that.

You can check out current Blocks & Layouts UI: http://drupal.org/sandbox/eclipsegc/1441840 "Admin > Structure > Blocks > Block Library" to see how eclipsegc acheives the 2col layout, I have not yet looked into it.

oh, still totally cleaning that up, not really trying to replicate this so much as be close to it in spirit. Happy to swap my own layout long term when this goes in if it's reusable.

Implement Core's new Layout system (not sure how far along core is with this yet) to provide 2 column layout for node forms.
THAT would be awesome !

@mrfelton Any chance to see "5. Move node forms vertical tabs to fieldsets."? :)
Comment #298mrfelton CreditAttribution: mrfelton commented
@kika, Is it worth doing that until we know more about how the layouts will actually be implemented? Also, is there still open discussion about wether fieldsets are actually the right thing to use for this? Is there not a better scemantic HTML5 element that we could exploit that might reduce the need for so many browser hacks working around the cross-browser oddities of fieldsets?

Comment #300mikkopaltamaa CreditAttribution: mikkopaltamaa commented
I think that the design proposed on issue summary is great.
However, I would change one small thing, which (IMHO) makes it a even more intuitive and easier to use. I would ghange the layout so that the meta information would be on the left side and the node fields on the right side:
Comment #301Wim Leers CreditAttribution: Wim Leers commented
#300: what's your reasoning?
Comment #302pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
I guess #300 (proposing metadata left, content right) should be answered.
The fields you always need to edit for a new node are the content (e.g. title and body), whereas metadata can be ignored if there are sensible defaults. So you'd want to see, and read, and tab into, the content elements first.
Tabbing proceeds from left to right (in both LTR and RTL HTML, as far as I know). Additionally, if you're editing in a narrow version of your responsive layouts, the right-hand column drops below the left. Or, if for some reason the responsiveness of the design isn't working, and you have to scroll horizontally, it's the left-hand part of the page that is shown first.
In summary: users would want to edit content before metadata, and (although this is perhaps a flaw) left almost always comes before right.
Comment #303xmacinfo CreditAttribution: xmacinfo commented
#300: This left-layout is nice to the eye, but no, the meta column on the left adds a lot of confusion. The arrows pointing to the content area next to Taxonomy and other tabs give the false impression that clicking the arrow will change the content area.
We don't have these problems with the original right-layout.
That being said, I am eager to play with the new content creation form in the future.
Comment #304xmacinfo CreditAttribution: xmacinfo commented
#302: In left to right layout (ltr), for many languages, the meta column would be expected on the left. But that may be dealt with in another issue.
Comment #305jide CreditAttribution: jide commented
I don't agree, and I think it's the opinion of most people here: In LTR, we have the most important things first, the content, and then the secondary things, the meta. This is not an application / navigation sidebar.
Comment #306webchick CreditAttribution: webchick commented
Let's not make additional design tweaks until the actual spec here is implemented.
Anyone up for giving that a stab?
Comment #307mikkopaltamaa CreditAttribution: mikkopaltamaa commented
#301: Some arguments supporting metadata before node fields:
1) Metadata is often presented before the actual content (like the issue information at the top of this page, or the commenting form below).
2) Not so easy to just click publish and forget filling the metadata (that happens quite often for me).
3) Looks better and simpler (personal opinion).
Comment #308mikkopaltamaa CreditAttribution: mikkopaltamaa commented
#303: This one is easy to fix. You could change the icons to be on the left side of the accordion labels. Example:
Note that browsers render the HTML5 summary element so that the icon is before label, and the same for the old fieldset element. That is a one good reason for swiching the icons to the left side, and it also solves the mentioned pointing problem.
Or you could use plus icons or something else. Examples:
- http://ui-patterns.com/users/1/collections/9/entry/268
- http://ui-patterns.com/users/1/collections/9/entry/31
- http://ui-patterns.com/users/1/collections/9/entry/9367
You could also change the accordion into vertical tabs and add a new tab for node fields. That way the metadata fields would have more space and might be easier to fill for a user.
These are just suggestions, I don't have any strong opinions on this.
Comment #309Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commented
Could we focus on solving the issues outlined in http://drupal.org/node/1510532#comment-6389382. I appreciate the comments considering changing the design.
However I want to be realistic here, although these comments are oke - we are not making any movement on the actual code, lets focus on getting the basis in. Because if we don't get any movement on this soon, we will not get it in in time for code freeze which is only like 10 weeks away.

Re #311: I don't think it's close enough. I hope we're able to get a Layout system committed to core before feature freeze (Dec. 1), but a) there's no guarantee of that, and b) it won't be much before then. It makes a lot more sense to me to try to get this issue finished independently of the Layout system and before the feature freeze, then once we have a Layout system, open a follow up issue to clean up the code to use it, which we'd have until code freeze (Apr. 1) to do.

Comment #313iantresman CreditAttribution: iantresman commented
The two most important things for me, are that
- the Create Content page can optionally have labels in a column
- the layout of the Create Content page, may be different to the node view, with fields in a different order.
For example, I often want to Create Content thus:
And then I want to display the node thus:

Comment #315jstoller CreditAttribution: jstoller commented
Sorry I'm late to the party, but I want to make sure this issue takes into account the outcome of #218755: Support revisions in different states. Namely the new concept of a default revision, which is no longer necessarily the latest revision. The current mock-ups don't indicate how that will be handled. #1776796: Provide a better UX for creating, editing & managing draft revisions. was created to deal with this and appears to have a good deal of overlap with what's being discussed here, though it goes a bit beyond just the content editing page. These issues seem very interconnected.
On a related note, the "Create new revision" check box is extremely problematic. You can see #563550: Change "create new revision" check box for a discussion of this dating back to 2009. It just doesn't play well with workflows. At a minimum the phrasing should be flipped and replaced with a "Overwrite active revision" checkbox (or something along those lines). And this would need to be physically close to the submit button. Realistically, we'd all be better off if it just went away all together.
Even given our current two-state workflow, there are a number of options I see we need to consider.
- Save new revision as draft
- Save new revision as published and make default
- Save new revision as draft and make default (this unpublishes the content)
- Overwrite active draft revision as draft
- Overwrite active draft revision as published and make default
- Overwrite active draft revision as draft and make default (this unpublishes the content)
- Overwrite active published revision as draft (this unpublishes the content)
- Overwrite active published revision as published
If #1777388: Support arbitrary workflow states is implemented (please, please, please) and we have an arbitrary number of workflow states to deal with, then this can get real complicated. In #1776796: Provide a better UX for creating, editing & managing draft revisions. I proposed moving the publishing and unpublishing of existing revisions from the edit screen to the view screen. That would allow us to ignore 3 & 6. If we can accept that saving revisionable content will always create a new revision, then we can ignore 4-8. The two remaining options are easily handled with the drop-down selection button shown here, which will also easily scale to more advanced multi-state workflows.

I don't know If this feature has already been suggested or not, but we definitely need a fixed "Save" button.
I can see that sometimes in your workflows, there is a "Save" button in the sidebar, and sometimes not. Maybe I misunderstood something?
But let's admit we have a really huge content type -for instance- and that in a node/%/edit page, you only want to edit the title. Isn't it horrible to scroll the whole page to save the content?

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's court hearing postponed
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have postponed their court hearing on Friday (17Jun16), as they attempt to work out a divorce deal.
The actress filed to end the couple's 15-month marriage in May (16), and then obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Depp, accusing him of abusing her throughout their marriage.
Johnny and Amber were scheduled to face off in court on Friday, when a judge was expected to determine whether or not he needed to extend the temporary restraining order against the actor, but according to TMZ.com, the estranged couple is now looking to work out a settlement.
Sources tell the outlet Johnny and Amber will discuss an agreement to avoid contact with each other and will also work out details surrounding property settlement and spousal support.
In her divorce filing, Amber reportedly asked for $50,000 (£35,200)-a-month in support and believed the court could have ordered the Pirates of the Caribbean star to pay her around $1 million (£704,000) temporarily per month, due to his 2015 salary of almost $30 million (£21.1 million).
However, Heard's lawyer filed a declaration on Monday (13Jun16), insisting the actress only asked for financial backing from her estranged spouse because she thought it was the standard operating procedure in a divorce case. She has reportedly withdrawn her request. But, in the documents filed, she reserved the right to request financial support after the restraining order issue is handled.
Johnny's lawyer has denied Amber's abuse claims.
A new court date has not been set.

Hours after a child welfare agency memo surfaced saying Michael Jackson was earlier this year cleared of allegations he molested a 13-year-old boy, Los Angeles police said they had almost no involvement in that investigation.
And Santa Barbara prosecutors -- expected to charge Jackson with child molestation next week after their own probe -- said they did not expect the prior investigation to be "significant" to their case.
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) memo said the agency and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) had determined in February that there was no basis for the allegations against Jackson.
"The investigation by the Sensitive Case Unit concluded the allegations of neglect and sexual abuse to be unfounded both by the LAPD-Wilshire Division and the department," said the memo, dated November 26.
A DCFS spokesman told Reuters that the memo was genuine and that the agency had investigated Jackson.
"The document is authentic and our department is investigating how it was leaked," spokesman Neil Zanville said, adding that California state laws regulating child welfare prohibited him from commenting further.
But in a strange twist, Los Angeles police officials said in a written statement that their involvement in the investigation consisted of a failed bid to interview the boy and his family.
"A Los Angeles Police Department detective accompanied a DCFS caseworker to make contact with the child at an address that had been provided to DCFS," the statement said.
"The child and his family could not be located at the address.
"The Department of Children and Family Services no longer required the assistance of the Los Angeles Police Department," the statement said.
"The Los Angeles Police Department had no further involvement in this matter."
A spokesman for the LAPD declined to elaborate on the apparent contradiction between the two accounts.
Meanwhile, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon and Sheriff Jim Anderson said in a joint statement that they were aware of the Los Angeles investigation before they proceeded with their own case against Jackson.
"Given what we know, we do not consider the DCFS statement a significant factor," they said.
Jackson, who was released on $3 million bail, has called the allegations a "big lie". His lawyer Mark Geragos could not be reached for comment.
Los Angeles authorities began their investigation after a British documentary in which Jackson said he shared his bed with children.
But according to the memo, the boy's mother told investigators "the media had taken everything out of context".
The 45-year-old singer is not named in the memo and is identified only as "the entertainer".
"As per the sexual abuse allegations, the mother stated that her children are never left alone with the entertainer," the memo said.
"She further stated that her son has slept in the same room as the entertainer but they did not share a bed. The entertainer would sleep on the floor."
The boy and his brother denied any abuse to investigators and "both children expressed a fondness for the entertainer and stated they enjoyed visiting his home, where they would often ride in the park, play video games and watch movies".
Their sister, who was 16 at the time of the investigation, told investigators "she had never seen anything sexually inappropriate between her brothers and the entertainer".

I know that Dinarius is now a domain of Digital Interest and there are great little changes coming to make it more so. Before I can get to those changes, I've been tasked with creating my first art show. It's been liberating to open up again and see things in a fundamental light in the context of how to show them to others. So when Good Magazine posted The GOOD 30-Day Challenge I thought a few of you readers might like the exercise to make the world your art habitat this month.
Test shot for focus and F-Stop settings on the Diana F+ for more work shortly that won't be in my little dining room.
You visit the site and 'check off' what you've done for March so that you can take part in a public survey. Items include:
Visit a museum or gallery
Take a street art walking tour
Take a photo
Research an artist
Create something handmade and give it to someone
Sign up for an art class
Create a floral or stone arrangement
Make a self-portrait
Doodle for 10 minutes straight
Frame something you have been meaning to frame
Sketch somebody and give them the picture
Create a font type for your name
and more totaling 31 items. I've already checked three off for the first five days since the art show I'm creating has me already on the path down this list. That makes me happy to be able to! Through March I'll share a little more if it makes sense to do so – but I thought there might be other code writers and photographers and Digital Interest bugs who would find this inviting.

Sorry no time for personals today, my back pain has gotten worse and I can tell its coming from my SI joint. No idea WTH I did to it! So I'm going to the chiropractor at 1:45, glad I drove today! So annoying though, will have to work as much extra as I can to minimize the sick time I need to take for this. Speaking of sick time, trying to calculate how much of what leave I'll use for mat leave and its harder than I thought!
ozzy: Oooooh, labor could be around the corner for you! Seems like everyone except Jules has gone early!
CanadaJazz!! Thanks for sharing your birth story. Hope the tear and the bruising pain subsides soon. Can you insert a little image of Zeb here at some point? I'm not on the Facebook page and I'd love to see the LO. Congrats!
MA: I hope the commute home is better for you. Good luck on the run after work! You may have been super tired from your LO's growth spurt! I'm trying to remember my diabetes test, and I think I wasn't allowed anything for a couple of hours beforehand. Yes, that's right because I had to go down to the horrible cafeteria where I took the test and frantically eat something.
TNesq: lol - your chalkboard. Yes, sometimes it's easier just to say yes to things you don't want, eh? I hope your body fights off that cold coming on.
Liz: Maybe, instead of a second stroller, you can get a carrier like a baby bjorn - especially if you're climbing stairs? You can see how that plays out for you and then decide.
Ozzy: Somehow, I look fresh as a daisy despite the lack of sleep. Stupid pregnancy glow! I'm experiencing cramps as well, and the baby has definitely dropped - noticeably so this week. The track pants I've been living in are difficult to keep up. Maybe a slow swim will help...
Monk: Oh, that purse story SUCKS! I say go back to the store. WIthout a receipt you should still be able to get store credit. I'm picky about purses as well - I have one designer who is my go-to, and luckily she's always on these daily deal sale sites. Anyway back to PGR... I had a series of 10lb weight gains over the course of this pregnancy too. It never made sense to me, so I had to chalk it up to baby/fluid retention/those cookies I ate. I too was hoping for 35-40 max and I'm just over 40lb now. To help baby get in position, I would recommend sitting on a yoga ball whenever you can, and also visiting the spinning babies website - they have some moves that may help.
Mann: You mention potatoes and bacon and now I WANT. Fingers crossed that support band comes in on time!
Dr T: Yay for heartbeat! I remember waiting for those tests - it's stressful but percentage wise, things are usually in our favour. Good luck!
I'm glad that everyone else finds the 7 foot chalkboard ridiculous...if it would have been say, a 3 foot chalkboard, framed, hey, great for the kiddos to use eventually. You are supposed to write things on it like how many weeks, the baby's size, mom's cravings, crap like that. I wanted to take weekly photos, but all the extra creative stuff is just not me. My mom is super-creative, and wants me to be that way, and keeps trying to force it on me...it's irritating. She asked if she could put together "baby" books for the babies, so again I said yes, since it's just easier to say yes - well, they are actually "pregnancy" books- they are all about the family history and the pregnancy and stuff - and they aren't done yet, either. Cute, but so much work that I didn't really want. And of course they are two identical books, which means i have to fill the stuff out twice...grr.. Okay, irritated with my mother rant over
Liz - Sounds like you had a great time in CA!
MA - I always thought the 1 hour was not fasting, too. Weird.
Ozzy - Sounds like baby might be on its way sooner rather than later - can't wait for an update, but I hope LO hangs out for you...
monk - I usually have a few weeks of gaining about 1 lb a week, and feel pretty comfortable with my weight gain, then it jumps like 3 lbs in a week, so I feel ya. Ugh on the purse - I'd take it back and at least try to exchange, or get store credit. Maybe say it was a gift? I hope your back feels better!
Mann - wow, I love breakfast - I don't think I could get by with just a yogurt now, although that's often all I had during the first tri because it was the only thing that didn't escalate my nausea... I'm not a huge QT fan, just sort of meh, but DH is really wanting to see it, so we may go to that. I'm leaning toward Les Mis myself. We are getting the Baby Jogger City mini double - manuevers AWESOME and folds really easily, plus the handle is adjustable and even comfortable for DH at 6'9" I didn't think the britax "drove" as well...but again, that's the double.
DrT - Happy 17 weeks! Sounds like a fun new years.
I think I'm going to becoming a breakfast person. Now I just to start making something at home. I can't be running out to the cafeteria every day for potatoes and bacon.
Ozzy: LO sounds is on their way!
DrT: I love hearing the heart beat. Let us know how the video workout goes.
TN: The pinterest signs look cute and all but I don't have the time or the creativity to pull it off. I don't know if I could have kept a straight face if my mom dropped off a 7ft chalk board. I'm sure my response would have been something like, "WTF I'm supposed to do with this!"
Monk - For SI stuff, down dog will help stretch it out, pigeon pose, pelvic tilts, cat/cow, child's pose, happy baby pose. My baby boy has been on and off, well, mostly ON my SI joint for the past 3 weeks. It has nothing to do with doing anything to my back, just the way I carry babies, apparently! It happened for about 5 weeks with #1. It's definitely annoying but eventually I assume he'll move off of it and it'll be fine. My point, don't be disappointed if the chiro isn't much relief in the long-term for baby + SI joint issues. Oh and the down dog stuff will help with baby position even though the spinning baby website is skeptical of it because it isn't "their" inversion pose/variation for getting baby to flip. Just bend/soften your knees and focus on flattening your back instead of focusing on straightening the legs.
Hopefully you get relief! SI Joint stuff is so annoying.
Back from the chiro, back feels better but still not great. I'm going back Saturday and I have orders to ice it a lot and avoid anything that hurts, including the gym I was fearful that when I stopped running I'd stop working out, and it sure seems that way so far! I'm also going to start wearing my support belt all the time... I think ozzy had already suggested that. Thanks rocky for the suggestions... I hadn't thought that P could be affecting the SI as well.
Oh and I decided I am going to take the purse back. I just wonder since I got it on sale if purses are still on sale and if I can get one for the same price! But I can't see any way to fix it and considering that it was my Christmas splurge I don't want a broken purse! I just hope I can find another one I like.
YJPM: Just talked to my midwife about the culture yesterday. I'm going to ask for it to be done early, like 35 weeks, cause women in my family tend to have babies a couple weeks early. Your massage sounds like it was wonderful. Great job on the workouts!
Canada: Super congrats! Don't be discouraged if he takes a while to get the hang of feeding. Some babies are just plain bad at it. My sis said her first would always take an hour to eat and then need to eat again a couple hours later. Her second, on the other hand, would get as much as she needed in 10 minutes! Just depends on the baby. SO happy for you and glad you're home together now.
MA: Great run! Your DH is awesome! I always love those stories. My DH takes great care of me too, so I'm always happy to hear that other ladies get pampered! Oh and there are two different types of tests. My midwife gives the one where you don't have to fast but she said that it is more normal to be administered the other where you can't eat beforehand.
TN: I hear you on not wanting to take a million preggo pics. My sis always says that the only reason to look at them is to remind yourself how happy you are that you aren't that big anymore! Enjoy the movie! Can't wait to see Les Mis!
Liz: My mom got me the BOB revolution, that has only one wheel in the front. It's made more for cities (though with large enough wheels to take on a trail too). Looks like it will be great and should work well on sidewalks. Maybe have your friends look into that! Great run! I'm so impressed!
Ozzy: Sounds like that LO is ready to make an appearance. I hear you on wanting to wait another week though. Take it easy if you have too. Hopefully the midwife will give you a good report.
Monk: Good news on the bag. Kohls usually can tell if it's an item you bought from them and will most likely take it back. My sister bought her DH a pair of pants there and was really disappointed b/c after a month of wear they tore. She took them in, not expecting anything, and they apologized and refunded them! Kohls has amazing customer service. It's worth a try!
Mann: Hope your band comes soon! I've had to start walking, but I think that's due to the fact that I never ran very far before getting pregnant, so I didn't have enough of a base to cut back from. I miss the running.
Dr: I remember the first time they checked for the HB I was so nervous. It's nice to hear it more consistently as LO gets bigger!
ER: I think I'll do PPW video today since DH will be out for a while. Didn't end up doing a workout yesterday, just lots of house cleaning. I was pretty worn out by the evening!
PGR: 30 weeks! OMG I can't believe it! Appointment yesterday went well. The baby is definitely head down (such a cooperative little thing!) and was kicking around like crazy when they were trying to do the heartbeat. I fluctuated from 120-160 BPM because of it moving so much. Since YJPM was talking about the strep culture... I'm having my baby at a birth center, rather than a hospital, and so there are certain things they cannot give you. One of them is the IV atibiotic for Streb B. So they give you a diet to follow from around 30-32 weeks until you have the baby. It is high in basic foods and low in acidic ones to encourage your body to create a more acidic environment and naturally fight off Strep B. All well and good, but I am not supposed to have tomatoes, citrus fruit, avacados and a bunch of other things I love. Super hard! Oh well. It will be worth it I'm sure.
NPGR: Got the closet all reorganized! I was so happy. We threw out about 3 trash bags of junk and took another two bags and a box to the thrift store. I have no idea how we collect so much crap! Then I reorganized the bedroom and put the new sheets and bed set on the bed (finally!) It looks so nice! Now to tackle the living room!
My gosh, there are so many posts to respond to today! First, I want to say that yesterday did NOT get any better for me, and I didn't go on my run. However, it is in the past, and I'm ready to move forward.
YouJust: Hope the test comes back negative for you. Massage is wonderful, and in labor, it's heavenly! Glad you got to have a good massage.
Canada: Congratulations! Sorry for all the intervention and the tearing, though! Ouch! I hope the breastfeeding gets better soon. If your hospital has a lactation consultant on staff, ask to see her right away!
MA: Sorry the commute was so horrible this morning, but it's nice that your DH took care of getting gas while your head was wet. Depending on the health care provider, and the type of test, there are several ways that the GTT can be done. Personally, I refuse the glucose tolerance test, and take the post-prandial blood draw instead. Most OBs haven't heard of this, or refuse to do it, or refute its usefulness in testing, but most non-nurse midwives will support and encourage this type of test. This is a link to some information regarding Gestational Diabetes which I thought was very, very interesting: http://www.drbrewerpregnancydiet.com/id33.html Have a nice run tonight!
TN: I might be tempted to respond to such things in the future with something like this: "If *YOU* want to create something like ________ (insert creative idea that you don't really want to do), then that would be nice, but I probably won't make time for it myself." My MIL seemed to think that I liked doing creative projects with my kids (I avoid these make-a-mess sessions like the plague), and several times would send me home with "assignments" (to her, it was a neat, fun idea that of course I would WANT to do, but I felt like it was a chore) to do with the kids. One of these was a wreath made with cutouts of the children's hands. I supposed that she wanted it for herself, so when I returned the finished project to her, I said in a sort of snappy voice, "There, is that what you wanted me to make for you?" That was the last time she sent home any assignments for me. I guess she got the hint.
Liz: If you aren't using a support belt, get one! It does help. I hear ya on that pavement with the impact though. I would definitely get an easier to use stroller to use besides the running one, if it's in your budget. With the stairs you describe, and if you aren't too tall for one, maybe an umbrella stroller would work? Of course, baby needs to be a bit older for one of those. As for moving where you don't have to climb stairs... YES. As a mom, this will make your life much easier, if you can afford the move.
Ozzy: Sounds like your body is warming up for the main event. It's probably nothing to worry about since it went away on its own. I would mention it to your midwife, and she may ask to do an internal check, but a woman can have many of these bouts of pre-labor before she actually goes into labor. Often, I go 5 cm dilated through the last month or so of my pregnancy. Not in labor, just dilating. This makes for quick labors at the end, because I usually start in transition. Ha! Oh wait... just read your update. Well, if this is the main event, good luck!
monk: That sort of thing happens whenever I splurge on something more spendy, and I feel the same about it as you have described. Sorry about the purse! Hope the weight gain slows a bit for you.
Mann: Hope your support band comes quick. I love mine.
DrT: Hope you like the video.
sasha: Way to go on the organizing!
RR: Didn't run as planned yesterday, but did this morning, 2 miles.
ER: Planning to lift weights (since I didn't yesterday or this morning) and swim at the Y this evening.
PGR: 23w6d. I haven't seen my midwife since my first visit at 12 weeks. Should I make another appointment now? Ha! I'm thinking of having another unassisted homebirth, anyway, but it would probably be nice to risk-assess (and continue to do so through the rest of the pregnancy) with a midwife before proceeding.
NPGR: Catching up slowly, very slowly, on housework. Made the kids shut off all the electronics and TV, and now they are driving me crazy! I need a quiet place to retreat. Right this very moment, some of them are purposely screaming, for the fun of it, while knocking on the door of my bedroom (just to drive me nuts). Someone else is banging loudly (not playing any music) on the piano. A few others are running back and forth through the galley kitchen, parlor, and living room. I'm surprised no one has any roller blades on, and no one is riding on a scooter. I'm thinking that I sorta like the electronic babysitters in the winter time, because it's too cold to send them outside to play right now. Ha! Life would be boring if it were always quiet, I suppose.
Not sure if anyone will be reading this so late in the day but thought I'd post an update..
The midwives were slightly concerned when I mentioned the contractions and mucus plug right off...then when i mentioned I had felt like yesterday had started with a "UTI" feeling they relaxed slightly as a UTI can cause cramping and if there is cramping there can be a mucus plug lost etc....so they sent me in to get a urine culture done, it'll take 48hrs to get any results. Biggest issue is that the midwives cannot do a homebirth before 37 weeks - so LO just needs to hang in there for another few days! On the other hand - as the m/w and LauraG said - these symptoms could recur for the next 3-4 weeks until i go into labor too....good news is baby has dropped, is a "good size" (according to the midwives) and has a healthy heart rate response to increased movement. My bp is low still (100/64!) so no concerns there either. The m/w said i was having continuous minor contractions or BHs but they were completely imperceptible to me.
SO, I am backing right off on my exercise intensity and duration for the next 4 days as i really do want my homebirth; it was painful but today I plonked myself in the slow swim lane and swam oh-so-very-slowly with oh-so-very-slow water jogging laps between (400 swim/4laps wog), and stopped after 40mins to see how my body would cope. Had no noticeable cramping today afterwards, still losing pink-tinged mucus but expected once it started it'd likely keep going anyway...
Dr T - I've done a fair amount of snowshoeing. Definitely a good option for being in a ski resort area when not able to ski (which is what I was facing). You'll be around where I was in the pregnancy. I use poles (my hiking polls that fold down, so easy to travel with) which helps with balance. Depending on how deep the snow is, can be a good workout. I really enjoyed it.
Ozzy- Glad you got some clarity from the mw, and hope the test results shed further light. Hang in there LO! Hope you get your homebirth. Good for you for taking it easy on the exercise, no matter how hard that can be for the likes of us!
Thanks all for feedback on the stroller stuff. Hoping to get out to actually look at some strollers in person this weekend. We have a baby bjorn that I got as a hand me down from a friend, so will def try to use that as much as possible.
Monk - sorry about the back pain and the extra work to minimize sick time. I feel you - with my limited tenure in my job I am trying to avoid taking any time off prior to mat leave.
MA - hope your GD test went okay. I don't think you need to fast...hope not. I've got mine tomorrow!
Sasha - interesting about the strep b diet stuff. Never heard of that before. Good luck with avoiding your fave foods.
Laura - I do have a support belt, but unfortunately don't think it helps the bladder pressure much. Ultimately, it feels like another layer I have to contend with when I need to make a pit stop! Oh well...
Okay sorry for the randomly ordered responses, and missing some people. Sooo tired...this week has been hard. Hope I'm not going to be this tired for the rest of the PG, but kind of think it's going in that direction.
Ozzy: Ah, yes, I had forgotten that you said you felt like you might have a UTI. Any infection can cause an "irritated uterus" sort of response that feels quite similar to early labor. In my personal experience, I've had this twice, once was well before term and the other time was at term. The pre-term experience was diagnosed as pre-term labor and I was put on terbutaline to stop the contractions. After cultures came back, we found an infection. When that was cleared up, the cx stopped. The term experience was likely caused by sweeping the membranes to help things along the day before. I had a high fever of 104 F and couldn't keep anything down. Baby's heartrate was in the 190s and becoming less variable. I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and thought for sure I was going to have a cesarean. Doc gave me IV antibiotics, fluids, and broke my water. I felt better a few minutes later, and started having real labor contractions. Baby came in just under 2 hrs from arrival at the hospital. Prior to the hospital transfer, I was 5 cm dilated. The day before I was 5 cm dilated, without being in labor. So all those contractions I was having wasn't really a true, effective labor.
Liz: Sorry the support belt isn't helping with the bladder pressure. I wear mine rather low on my hips, and it does seem to help. I feel like there are too many layers at pit stops in this freezing weather, too! I dream of spring running...

I saw this image from the Swat Valley in August, and I was stunned . Not for what is in the foreground, I was in the Big Thompson Flood in 1976. I know what happens when it rains like hell in the mountains. What struck me are those mountains in the background. That is the Hindu Kush . These two pictures were shot in the last week of July (left), and from the same spot 3 weeks later. Look at all that missing snow.
At the time, it occurred to me that the Modis Terra satellite would show this record event even better . Three months later I took the time to go look , and do some more "before and after" images. Again I am stunned.
In the top center of the image from Wikipedia there is a lake with a very usual shoreline. That lake is in the upper right hand corner of the first set of Modis "before and afters". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
These Modis "before and afters" start there, and drop down in 3 steps toward Pakistan and the Indus Valley. They are from July 26, 2010 , and August 16, 2010. the image is true color, and is 250 meters per pixel. They are Modis 2010207, and Modis 2010230.
The average altitude of these mountains is 14,700 feet. When it was raining in the valleys it also was raining on all these snowfields, and glaciers. The links to full size images are under each of the smaller ones shown here on the right. Notice how much is missing as you move south. These rains melted a massive amount of snow, on some very high mountains.

Make Buttons with WordArt
WordArt is a different animal from SmartArt. It creates wacky-shaped text strings that you can't edit. In Excel and PowerPoint, it's a powerful tool for embedding text with special effects. It's on the Insert tab in all three, but in Excel and PowerPoint you use the Format tab to change the text's looks, or even make buttons.

While his appointment was deemed a surprise at the time he has since taken England to the World Cup and Euro 2004.
England failed to beat Brazil in the quarter-finals in Japan and Korea two years ago, their only competitive defeat under Eriksson.
The Swede has been deemed so crucial to the future of the national side he has signed a contract until 2008.
Eriksson, who had an undistinguished playing career, has an impressive CV to date as a club manager.
He led IFK Gothenburg to Uefa Cup success in 1982 and has also managed Benfica and Lazio, with whom he won Serie A, the Cup Winners' Cup, the Super Cup and the Italian Cup.

LAWRIE Dudfield is not surprised Phil Brown has got Southend United in fine shape ahead of this Saturday's FA Cup clash with Hull City.
Dudfield played for both the Shrimpers and the Tigers during his own playing career.
And he was always certain Brown would be able to revitalise Blues' fortunes.
"I know Browny from a few different events I've done with Hull and I always thought him being at Southend was a perfect fit," said Dudfield, 33.
"I still track what's going on there and look at what the fans are saying on Twitter and some of them were questioning him a little bit after a slow start.
"But with the personality he has I knew he would turn it around and that's exactly what he's done.
"I'm really pleased because he's a great guy and I loved my time at Southend so I'm glad to see them doing well again this season.
"I enjoyed my time with Hull as well so I'm torn for the weekend but the way Browny has got Southend playing it won't be easy for Hull there.
"I think it has the makings of a really good FA Cup game and it's up to Southend to put on a show and really try and test Hull."
Dudfield, who is now Nottingham Forest's community manager, became Hull City's record signing when he joined them from Leicester City for £250,000 in June 2001.
And he was immediately shocked by the size of the club.
"I didn't really how big Hull City was until I joined them and they blew me away a bit to be honest," said Dudfield.
"There was a myth at the time that people around there preferred rugby not football but we were getting 10,000 to 12,000 every week in League Two and it was fantastic.
"The chairman at the time, Adam Pearson, was fantastic and I think his legacy remains there even to this day.
"I'm not surprised at all at how well they're doing and I'm pleased to see it as well because I had a great time with them.
"I was a bit unfortunate that Peter Taylor, who had sold me from Leicester 18 months earlier, then became the Hull manager and sold me again.
"But it was nothing personal with him and I was pleased when the club went on to get the promotions."
Dudfield left the Tigers to join Northampton Town and then went on to sign for Southend, initially on loan, in February 2004.
He bagged five goals in his first 14 games to help Steve Tilson's side avoid relegation and then also played a part in the team winning promotion from League Two, via the play-offs, in the very next season.
"Being honest about it I wasn't sure about joining Southend because they were second from bottom in the table and every time I had played there I had been really bad," said Dudfield.
"But I wanted to be playing so in the end I agreed to sign and I'm so glad I did because it was the best group of lads I played with in my whole career.
"We just knew we were going to do well and it was something special to be a part of.
"I still always keep an eye out for the club's results, I really do hope they go on to win promotion this season and I hope they put in a good performance for the big game on Saturday too."

Being removed from life support at Lenox Hill Hospital in N.Y.C. after suffering a head injury as a result of skiing accident, Natasha Richardson has passed away on Wednesday, March 18.
British actress Natasha Richardson known for her performances on stage and in feature films has passed away on Wednesday, March 18 at New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital after suffering head injury from a skiing accident earlier this week. She was 45.
In the wake of the tragic news, Natasha's husband, actor Liam Neeson, issued a statement trough a representative, saying he, "his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha." The statement continued, the family is "profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone," and asks "for privacy during this very difficult time."
Natasha Richardson has dominated the media headlines these past few days after she was injured in a skiing accident at the Mont Tremblant Resort in the Canadian province of Quebec on Monday, March 16. She, according to reports, fell during a private lesson on a beginners trail. Not wearing a helmet when the incident occurred, Natasha seemed okay at first and had no visible injury on her body.
Complaining of a headache about an hour after she fell, Natasha was then taken to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe. She was later transferred to Hopital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal. Her husband Liam, who was in Toronto shooting a movie, rushed to her side. Held overnight at Hopital du Sacre-Coeur, she was discharged from the facility on Tuesday, March 17 and accompanied by Liam, Natasha flew to N.Y.C. via private jet to be treated at Lenox Hill Hospital.
Natasha's mother, actress Vanessa Redgrave; sister, "Nip/Tuck" star Joely Richardson; aunt, actress Lynn Redgrave; and grandmother Daisy were all seen gathering at her bedside during her hospital stay.
At time of writing there have yet words issued by Natasha's family concerning a funeral for her. Meanwhile, friends who spoke on behalf of the family have been quoted by E! News as saying, "A small private funeral" is planned. The date and venue haven't been disclosed though.

Santa Clarita, Calif.- The Master's College volleyball team took a match against Arizona Christian in three sets on Tuesday night (25-20, 25-13, 25-22). The win advances the Lady Mustangs to the NCCAA West Region final later this week.
In the first set, Master's and Arizona Christian would trade scoring spurts throughout the set to keep it close. Eventually, Arizona Christian would tie the set at 18-18. TMC would not allow the Firestorm to take the lead, however. The Lady Mustangs would seal the set with a 7-2 run as Ashley Newton would come up big for Master's in the end as she tallied two of the final three points. The Lady Mustangs took the set by a score of 25-20.
Coach Blanken's team came out in control of the second set and never let up. Samantha Dougherty had two straight aces to extend the Lady Mustangs lead to 14-7. A few points later, Rachel Taylor scored two straight kills to put TMC up by a score of 17-11. The Lady Mustangs would only allow the Firestorm to score two more points the rest of the set as they would dominate in every aspect en route to a 25-13 win.
The home team came out in the third set a little slow. A few unforced errors by Master's gave the Firestorm and early lead at 6-2. It wouldn't take long for Coach Blanken's team to wake up though. The Lady Mustangs would real off an 8-1 run capped by two Jamie Long aces to put Master's up 10-7. TMC would go on to win the third set 25-22 as four different Lady Mustangs each tallied kills in the decisive set.
Alyssa Gergins had a team high 17 assists, and Rebecca Gieske had 14 digs to lead TMC. Samantha Dougherty lead the way with eight kills as Ashley Newton had a .500 hitting percentage.

Sir Christoper Wren died on February 25, 1723. He was an English architect, mathematician and astronomer who was the greatest among the country's architects of his time. While at Wadham College, Oxford (1649), he joined a group of brilliant scholars, who later founded the Royal Society (president 1680-82). Wren learned scientific skills as an assistant to an eminent anatomist. Through astronomy, he developed skills in working models, diagrams and charting that proved useful when he entered architecture. After London's Great Fire of 1666, Wren presented a scheme to rebuild the city, though only partially realized. He designed many buildings including St. Paul's Cathedral and 53 churches. He invented a "weather clock" similar to a modern barometer, new engraving methods, and helped develop a blood transfusion technique. His scientific work was highly regarded by Sir Isaac Newton as stated in the Principia.

This moss is fast gaining popularity despite its relatively short stop in our shop. It will grow under a variety of conditions and attaches well to different substrates (even if it does not cling to it as firmly as Taiphyllum species). With its fern-like thalli, it looks great in all types of aquarium layouts. Trim large clumps with sharp scissors, preferably before it becomes too massive and thin underneath as it will more easily detach from its substrate when it is in that state.

One of the things that draws me to Brain Pickings is the website's constant focus on authors. Each week, posts examine unusual and unexpected aspects of those writers that I "spend" much of my time teaching. Featured in letters, illustrations, stop motion, book reviews, etc., these posts enrich and supplement daily lessons.
Calling upon text, images and video, these posts do more than merely disseminate information. They are miniature pieces of "clickable" art. They can serve to simply improve the daily grind of being a classroom teacher and brighten some of your more difficult days. However, it is easy for students to see literature as simply a number of chapters due on any given day. These posts remind both teacher and student that literature is something more than reading quiz followed by class discussion.
Consider using Brain Pickings in two ways: as an extension or supplement to a lesson on a specific text or literary term and as a way to have students write/discuss how we view the writers. Below I've highlighted one post to show how to implement written response, classroom discussion and small group collaboration.
Questions to consider after reading/exploring:
- Why are we fascinated with where "creators create?" What about their homes and personal lives would be of interest to us?
- Why would this project start with these authors' homes? What argument is made by illustrating these homes?
- What value is there is a project of this type.
Small Group Project: After examining this project, have students create an author driven project that they will pursue. Encourage them to highlight at least 2-3 of the authors you studied thus far. Ask that students work in small groups and create a working proposal that they "pitch" to you before they proceed. Consider this to be part research paper, part cross-curricular learning and part creative presentation. Steer clear of PowerPoint, Posters or other expected/tired assignment formats. Give them guidelines but also challenge them to construct an outcome unlike their peers.
The project should identify the following:
- An argument about writers in popular culture both past and present
- A creative means via technology, art, social media, etc. to display this project.
Two other posts that can serve as powerful resources for discussing writer's on their own craft are "From Mark Twain to Ray Bradbury Iconic Writers on Truth vs. Fiction" and "Advice on Writing From Modernity's Greatest Writers." Consider using the author statements in these posts as the basis for creating essay prompts.

A man whose teenage stepson froze to death during a hog-hunting trip in a rugged southern Georgia swamp faces murder and other charges.
The Florida Times-Union reports that 15-year-old Daniel Clark Head died in the Buffalo Swamp in March 2010.
Authorities say his 40-year-old stepfather Brian Gale told investigators they became lost in the woods. He says Daniel had become too weak to walk and he could no longer carry him. He says he left him and went for help.
The indictment says Gale acted with "reckless disregard" for the teen's life by leaving him alone in the swamp at night when he was weak and fatigued and didn't have adequate clothing to survive. He had on a shirt, jacket, long pants and hip waders.
It was unclear if Gale has an attorney.
