Hello, I'm A'DAM – the big tower behind Amsterdam's Central Station, and the one beside the spaceship-like EYE Film Institute. I'm a building of 22 stories, with many more to tell.
I can see everything: from Amsterdam's historic centre, to its bustling port and the vast polder landscape. I can even spot your house from here. I'll be able to share this breathtaking 360° view from my observation deck from May 2016. I'll also host several cool bars and restaurants, and a bunch of pioneering music companies. Expect no sleep as I'll be open day and night, 25 hours a day, 8 days a week.
A'DAM Toren is the new name for 'Toren Overhoeks'. The tower was designed by the architect Arthur Staal as a commission by Royal Dutch Shell. In fact, the tower is also affectionately known as the 'Shelltoren' by many Amsterdammers. It was officially opened in 1971, and was home to the multinational oil company until 2009.
A'DAM is proud of its roots – as it boldly claims the well-known abbreviation of Amsterdam. The brand name A'DAM also stands for 'Amsterdam Dance and Music', which reflects the business of the owners and main tenants: ID&T, AIR Events and MassiveMusic.
Staal designed the office tower at 45° to the IJ waterfront. This diagonal position ('overhoeks' in Dutch) gave the building its first name – and, in fact, informs much of A'DAM's edgy, innovative and surprising personality.
A'DAM has just finished a massive renovation and has been transformed into an iconic multifunctional tower. It is now a home to a mix of offices, cafés, restaurants, a hotel, an observation point and a revolving restaurant. A'DAM (LOOKOUT, Moon and Madam and offices) opened in May 2016. A'DAM should be complete by September 2016.
Watch this rather tall space. I'll be a tower of many talents. A place where one can eat, work, rave, sleep. Repeat. I'll house a spectacular observation deck, a hotel, a daring nightclub and several top-notch restaurants and bars. In case I forget, my 19th Floor will spin right round (like a record baby).
Sandwiched between the attractions will be the cuttingedge homes of ID&T, MassiveMusic, Gibson and a medley of young creative companies with a passion for music. I'll be a dynamic hub that breeds interaction and collaboration. An environment where creativity can flourish, and where nobody is in a hurry to go home.
A'DAM is the textbook example of 'the new redevelopment' with the four partners not only investing in the tower, but also being closely involved as tenants/users once it's finished. As future owners of the building, they see their role not simply as property developers but creative place-makers.
The iconic tower that many Amsterdammers immediately recognise as part of their city will be given back to them. It will be a catalyst for the regeneration of the Overhoeks area – and, once again, Amsterdam North will become a definitive part of the city. Not long ago, the New York Times called the region the "red-hot art neighbourhood" and Amsterdam's new creative centre.
Building philosophy
The (re)development of A'DAM is a unique transformation project and the perfect example of the rezoning of empty office space. Originally a mono-functional office tower for 400 employees, A'DAM will be transformed into a multi-functional building visited by 2,500 people on a daily basis.
The redevelopment respects the original vision and architecture of Arthur Staal. The characteristic trichotomy of the dark hull on white legs and the twisted white crown will remain integral features of the tower. The design by Claus & Van Wageningen Architects adds the following features:
Replacement of the existing shed by a diagonal accessible panorama deck.
Addition of a transparent round volume under the shed with a rotating restaurant amongst others.
Replacement of the existing façade with a similar concrete look & feel but with larger and transparent windows.
Addition of a transparent space under the legs (in between the tower and the plinth building) for creative event space.
Reconstruction of the existing plinth building in the original architecture with two lobbies for all users and visitors.
On top of the plinth a small pavilion and rooftop terrace will be build, hosting a Biergarten.
Addition of an extra underground room for event, clubbing, symposia and exposition purposes.
Addition of a public underground parking area or approx. 200 cars under the square between the tower and 'Grootlab'.
Making the building sustainable by isolating the façades and roofs, the usage of warmth and cold from the soil and the application of energy efficient installations.
All (building) partners consider sustainability of great importance.
I began my 21st century makeover in July 2014. The outdated, drab and cramped spaces of my 1970s interior are making way for a more contemporary, stylish and sustainable design. It's more reinvention than regeneration. Bowie rather than botox. And, don't worry, my celebrated modernist complexion (as created by Arthur Staal) will survive the facelift.
I can't wait to raise the roof. However, I must warn you that the soundtrack of swinging wrecking balls and pneumatic drills will be pretty loud, during reconstruction. So, before you get mad: I'm sorry.

My crown contains an observation deck with an unrivalled panoramic view of Amsterdam. You'll see the city's historical centre, its pulsating port, the unique Dutch polder landscape and, if you're lucky, you might even spot the Lord Mayor on his bicycle. Complementing the experience will be a state-of-the-art interactive exhibition about Amsterdam's history and culture.
In addition, I'll also have a giant swing (under construction)! A swingset that sends thrill-seekers (in a full-body safety harness), flying back and forth over my edge. After all, it's called LOOKOUT for a reason.
Allow me to introduce Madam, the panorama bar and restaurant located on the 20th Floor. During the day, this swanky setting is part of the LOOKOUT experience. But as soon as the sun goes down, the music goes up – and Madam is transformed into Amsterdam's highest nightclub, and a haven for nocturnal delights.
Guests will be able to savour stellar cocktails, an extensive à la carte menu and, of course, a stunning view of Amsterdam. Madam is the only bar in town where it's OK to stare out the window.
Moon is the name of the revolving rooftop restaurant located on my 19th Floor. It will rotate once every hour, providing a truly unique dining experience with an amazing 360˚ panorama of Amsterdam. The menu promises re-imagined classics and bold new mixes, with an emphasis on seasonality, nourishment and fresh local products. And that's not just the DJs.
My 18th Floor will be home to A'DAM&Co., an inclusive members' club. It'll boast a luxurious setting & a spectacular rooftop terrace with an unrivalled 360˚ view of Amsterdam. However, it will be club members that define A'DAM&Co. A community of creative minds, entrepreneurs & change-makers. Left-brains & right-brains with a passion for collaboration. Whether that's mixing business & pleasure, dubstep & classical, or sneakers & suits. Anything, except whisky & ice.
Membership of A'DAM&Co. is by recommendation only. So please be nice. You never know who is recruiting.
The Loft is the name of my deluxe penthouse on the 16th and 17th Floor. The double-level space is airy, homely and inviting with floor-to-ceiling windows, that showcase expansive city views of Amsterdam.
Importantly, the contemporary design of the Loft allows for complete versatility. On the one hand, it is ideal for hosting corporate or private functions (for up to 225 guests), and on the other hand, it is the perfect private sanctuary. Complete with an open kitchen and two luxuriously dressed bedrooms, the Loft is pitch-perfect for A-list celebrities and their egos.
On the 17th Floor, I'll have a suite of four stylish contemporary meeting-rooms for hire. We have room for 10 to 25 people – and offer an inspirational atmosphere with jaw-dropping views of Amsterdam's skyline, which is simply perfect for blue-sky thinking.
All rooms are equipped with the state-of-the-art facilities (and yes, we have VGA cables) expected for presentations, conference calls and barmy brainstorm sessions. They also offer options for private dinner parties, courtesy of a collaboration with restaurant Moon.
A'DAM will be an open environment for open minds, particularly those in the creative and music industries. A place where ideas, and the coffee, are always fresh – and where inspirational quotes spring from mouths not walls.
A cluster of independent companies (who all share the same levels of entrepreneurship, passion and oxygen) are already booked in, and expected to create ripples from Amsterdam to Zama.
SFX (14th Floor)
SSFX Entertainment is the largest global producer of live events and digital enter-tainment content, focused exclusively on the electronic music culture. SFX is the parent company of ID&T, Q-dance and Monumental productions.

Confirmed Tenants: 22tracks, A'DAM Music School, Enter Dexter, Entertainment Matters, Entropt, Headline Music, Lingotto, Rabobank Amsterdam, Schipper Legal, School Of House, Six Senses, The Stone Twins & Thunderplugs.
Sir Adam is the name of the urban luxury boutique hotel on my first eight floors. Here discerning lifestyle travellers, locals and neighbours can stay in a stylish and captivating environment. The hotel will provide an integrated lifestyle experience with 108 guest rooms and creative spaces offering breathtaking views over Amsterdam.
It's worth noting that the elusive Sir Adam, music impresario and hospitality-king, will kindly open his doors to the public late summer of 2016. So one can delight at 'The Butcher Social Club' (featuring a stylish restaurant, a riverside terrace and destination bar), 'The BeerGarden' and a gym. Amazingly, this welcoming space will be open 24/7.
Shelter is the name of my subterranean nightclub. I could describe its industrial-chic interior, its distressed thick concrete walls (that compliment the amazing sound system and acoustics) or the fact, that this vast cavernous space will also be available for cultural exhibitions. But no, such boasts are irrelevant. After all, any mind blowing nightclub is in the hands of the program, the DJs and you: the crowd. Open: September 2016.
A'DAM Music School
Let me proudly introduce A'DAM Music School! This non-profit initiative caters to boys and girls who simply love making music, and have the ambition to steal not only the spotlight but people's hearts as well. We collaborate with music schools, production houses, coaches and artists, all having been specially selected based on the talent they can share with our students.
The program is focused on making music together, inspiring each other and combining the merits of the Do-Re-Mi with the Ga-Ga. Each student has his or her own sponsor, and the first students joined our program in September 2015. In fact, they've already stolen our hearts. Next stop – the charts!
Three of my sidekicks – Sander Groet, Duncan Stutterheim and Hans Brouwer – are world-renowned in the music industry, and with their respective companies will relocate to my funky new offices in May 2016.
With this trio at the helm, music will literally be pumping through me. I'll be the life and soul of the party, the beating pulse of Amsterdam and set the rhythm for the creative industries. And even though, it's my business to make some noise, I promise not to annoy the neighbours.
Let me introduce…

An article, a CFP, and a useful site
The article, from the Public Library of Science, is this: "Clickstream Data Yields High-Resolution Maps of Science." The authors collected "nearly 1 billion user interactions recorded by the scholarly web portals of some of the most significant publishers, aggregators and institutional consortia," says the abstract. They proceeded to create maps that illustrate citations in the articles with which the users interacted. These maps "provide a detailed, contemporary view of scientific activity and correct the underrepresentation of the social sciences and humanities that is commonly found in citation data." The most interesting illustration in this context is Figure 5—check out that big white and yellow cluster in the center. It's worth the load time to view the larger image.
The CFP is for the next annual meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium. This year's theme is text encoding in the era of mass digitization. The the first three suggested topics are conceptually larger than TEI, and are intriguing: In-depth encoding vs. mass digitization; Is text encoding sustainable?; Is text encoding scalable? People are bound to talk about crowdsourcing metadata, which I think is the only hope we have of scaling semantic encoding. (The quality control issues, which are the first concern that usually arises when people talk about collaborative knowledge work, are real. But there are ways to deal with them, and data that can be corrected may well be better than no data at all.)
The site I came across today is FairShare. It allows people to track how their online publications are used and/or remixed. Haven't played with it yet, but it looks promising, particularly in the context of an institutional repository. Imagine a researcher depositing an article, pointing FairShare at it and seeing others respond to her work. Just the psychological boost from that is valuable in spurring future work.
JISC Digital Preservation Policy Report
In October of this year the UK-based Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) released a final report resulting form a six-month digital preservation policy study they'd conducted earlier in the year. The report is available here, and appendices are here (both links lead to PDF files).
Although the study was performed in the UK and the report is chiefly aimed at UK audiences, the JISC investigators drew on an international set of data, and their findings will certainly be useful to large institutions outside the Isles.
For all that the report is long and detailed, the authors' definition of digital preservation is impressively concise: "In contrast to printed materials, digital information will not survive and remain accessible by accident: it requires ongoing active management. […] Digital preservation is the process of active management by which we ensure that a digital object will be accessible in the future." (10)
I list some of their recommendations below, as thinking points that jumped out at me. (My present context: recent return from the SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting 2008 held in Baltimore last week, about which soon.) Much more information is available in the report itself. This is what the JISC investigators see as best practices for thinking through a digital preservation policy (DPP below) on an institutional level:
– Have a principles statement, and tie it in to the university's stated overall aims
– Highlight connections between the DPP and other policies, practices, objectives that may be in place at the same institution; highlight also connections between the DPP and similar policies at other institutions
– Clearly state preservation objectives (archival requirements, long-term research prospects) and an intent to "deliver a reliable and authentic version to [the] user community" (19)
– Speak not only to preservation itself but also to user experience
– State explicitly which relevant governmental statutes the policy will adhere to (Freedom of Information Act, for example)
– Specify what kinds of materials will be preserved (can be presented in different groupings, for example organized by how complex preservation is for given objects, by formats, by priority)
– Specify transparency and accountability as goals, and provide venues for external entities to check on that
– Outline an implementation plan. This is possibly the most difficult step in the process, but crucial.
– The policy should be version controlled.
The report also addresses important topics like intellectual property, financial and staff responsibility, distributed services, standards compliance, auditing and risk assessment – the list goes on. Though the report is sixty pages long, it is an excellent source of information and springboard for a detailed approach to creating – and most importantly implementing – a digital preservation policy.

There are two opinions when it comes to dog digging, and they are on the opposite extremes. One extreme is that dogs will be dogs, and if you own a digging dog it is bred into them and their is absolutely nothing you can do about. The other extreme is, of course, that a dog can be trained to do, or not to do,anything...and this includes digging.
So, can you stop a digging dog?
I tend to take a middle ground when it comes to dog digging. I believe that an attempt should be made to stop a digging dog with proper training, but I also believe that SOME dogs (like "runners") are natural diggers and there isn't a doggone thing you can do about it.

text: Maybe Sully when he was taken or Elena when Drake ends up on the ship. It would have made it so that the whole "adding nothing to the story" levels like the pirate sequence actually add to the story because we see our three main protagonists split up, then follow their individual journeys until they meet up again(Like Lord of the Rings). This would have also made the game a lot longer, which was one of my problems with it.


text: The two companies recently completed a pilot project whereby the DiscoveRx technologies were applied to analyze the Compugen designed peptides with a small subset of GPCR targets. This pilot resulted in promising initial results for a number of library peptides that were shown to modulate specific GPCR targets, thus demonstrating both the library's potential as a reservoir of therapeutically relevant peptides, as well as the ability of DiscoveRx's functional GPCR assays to identify novel peptide/GPCR target interactions.Dr. Pyare Khanna, CEO of DiscoveRx Corp., stated, "We see this collaboration as a unique opportunity to address a key drug target class through a combination of DiscoveRx's most comprehensive and market leading GPCR cell based assay platforms, and Compugen's leading predictive capability for peptide discovery. Based on these synergistic competitive advantages, and the demonstrated success of the recently completed pilot program, we believe that via this partnership, pharmaceutical and biotech companies will be able to gain access to novel peptides for both research and product development purposes. DiscoveRx will continue to innovate in the field of GPCR drug discovery, and is pleased to now bring to the industry, together with Compugen, novel solutions in this key area of high industry interest and need." "Compugen is very enthusiastic regarding this collaboration with DiscoveRx, one of the leading companies in the GPCR screening field, for the commercialization of Compugen-designed molecules from our GPCR peptide library," said Anat Cohen-Dayag, Ph.D., Compugen's President and CEO. Dr. Cohen-Dayag continued, "As previously disclosed, Compugen is focusing its discovery and development efforts towards addressing unmet medical needs in our focus areas of oncology and immunology through the use of novel protein and antibody therapeutics. However, as part of the development and validation activities associated with establishing our broadly applicable predictive discovery capabilities, a number of very promising discoveries were made that have significant potential in other areas. Therefore, in recent months, we have been in various discussions for arrangements with other organizations to advance certain of these earlier discoveries, including a number related to potential peptide therapeutics, largely without the need for further Compugen financial resources, such as this very promising collaboration with DiscoveRx being announced today."

Brunch at Top of the Riverfront at Millennium Hotel
On Sunday morning, I had a real treat... I finally got to go to brunch at the Top of the Riverfront! It is a revolving restaurant in downtown St. Louis that gives you views of the Arch, Old Cathedral, riverfront and Busch Stadium. Here is a picture of the hotel from the parking garage. The restaurant is at the top where you see the big picture windows.
I had my camera along, in hopes to take some self portraits for my Superhero class. Of course, this picture is probably the best one taken of me, and I did not take it! Kind of a neat perspective though!
Then there is this one I took of myself in the elevator... total FAIL! But, I think it is cute how you can see Brian smiling at me in the glass. Ha!
The brunch was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Everything you would want to eat, was there. Yum!
Even better than the food, was the VIEW. When we sat down at our table, THIS is what we saw!
Of course, the silly girl that I am had to take a picture of the revolving floor... yes, we were moving the entire time... and, yes, yes you could feel it.
We even saw the TUMS building.
Yes, yes. Excellent food, excellent view. But, did I mention the free mimosas?
A good time was had. And, one last view. Busch Stadium!
After brunch, I somehow found it in me to run 7 miles on Grants Trail... yes, good food is a wonderful thing, but half marathon training is in full gear! Don't feel too bad for me, I vegged on the couch after my run and read The Help for several hours, in total peace and quiet. I may have snoozed here in there in between pages. Ah. :)

"large, sea view, decor, great place!"
"grote , uitzicht , inrichting, prima plek !"
"calm, cosy, well-kept, tastefully furnished, good view over West-Lissbon--> absolutly recommendable"
"THE terrace with its fantastic views over Lisbon. Having breakfast watching the sun rise over the city or the evening meal so that the April 25 Bridge lights remain unforgettable moments. Very nice, spacious, bright, apartment decorated warm and very well located for visiting the city. The friendly home of Alexander and his practical, tourist and gastronomic advice. The kitchen is particularly well equipped In fact, the very pleasant feeling to have one 'at home' in Lisbon... Even if it was (alas!) for a few days. In short, my wife and I loved."
"LA TERRASSE... avec sa vue fantastique sur Lisbonne. Prendre son petit-déjeuner en regardant le soleil se lever sur la ville ou le repas du soir alors que le Pont du 25 Avril s'illumine restent des moments inoubliables. L'appartement très agréable, spacieux, clair, au décor chaleureux et très bien situé pour visiter la ville. L'accueil sympathique d'Alexandre et ses conseils pratiques, touristiques et gastronomiques. La grande cuisine particulièrement bien équipée En fait, la sensation fort agréable d'avoir un "chez soi" à Lisbonne... Même si ce n'était (hélas !) que pour quelques jours. Bref, ma femme et moi avons adoré."
Nikolaj rated his/her apartment stay, but didn't leave any extra comments…
"Very comfortable and clean apartment. Owner very helpful and welcoming. Spacious apartment - excellent view of the city, in lovely older building gives a real taste about how the local live. Balcony is a big plus to sit out and eat overlooking Lisbon - local restaurants, shops and bars excellent. No fault about the apartment - only issue is the building 100 stairs to the apartment but that is only a minor issue."
"The historic building, location and local area, terrace and views, well equipped kitchen, overall space, excellent host. Our preference would be for more pillows and duvet for the bed, but that is just a preference and did not impact on the quality and enjoyment of our stay in this apartment."
"The apartment was really great in every way...very nice kitchen!"
"We liked the appartment very much. It is nicely furnished and gives you a feeling of being at home. The mattress is very hard. Some things in the kitchen are missing (e.g. salad-bowl) Also it would be nice, if y basic equipment of pepper, salt, vinegar, oil etc would be provided, thus one doesnt have to buy everything, staying just shortly. The cleaning was acceptable but also improvable. E.G. the coffee filter was with coffee mold in the machine..."
"Good views, clean, light, well eqipped Matress a bit hard, Hook to support shower head at head height would be good."

Target: Destiny Velez, Miss Puerto Rico 2015
Goal: Apologize for ignorant and hate-filled Twitter rant against the Muslim faith, not just for "offending people."
A beauty pageant contestant published a slew of ignorant and hate-filled tweets against Muslims on her Twitter account. In her tweets, Destiny Velez stated, "Muslims use our constitution to terrorize USA…" Another tweet contended that Muslims cannot be compared to Jews or Christians because the Torah and Bible do not have "terrorizing agendas," and, finally, "All what Muslims have done is … terrorize this country & many others!!!!!!." Twitter has removed Velez's page.
These tweets were in response to Michael Moore's "We are all Muslim" campaign, and Velez has apologized. In her public appeal for understanding, Velez said, "I apologize to the people I have offended … I stand up against bullying. The last thing I wanted to do was to bully anyone…"
Velez's apology is contrived at best. She went beyond offending and bullying people. She spread ignorant and hate-filled lies, perpetuating continued intolerance against a peaceful people. Demand Velez apologize for calling all Muslims terrorists when they are not.
Dear Ms. Velez,
If you were trying to show that you possess a well-rounded knowledge of religion and international relations, you failed miserably. Contrary to your Twitter rants, Muslims do not "… terrorize USA & plant gas stations" or "… terrorize this country & many others," and perhaps you need to actually read the Torah and the Bible because, yes, both encourage war.
Your apology for offending others is a thin attempt at covering up your hate-filled ignorance. Your contention that you are not a bully is laughable. Perhaps you should take another course in etiquette–attacking those of a certain faith is not okay. It's bigoted.
Think about your words, Ms. Velez, and if you cannot understand how hypocritical they were, talk with one of your "handlers." Maybe they can explain to you what you've done wrong. Then, kindly issue a sincere apology to peaceful Muslims everywhere.
[Your Name Here]

Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux Jean-Michel Lorain is at the helm of his family property, Côte Saint Jacques in Joigny, France. Acclaimed with multiple prestigious awards, Chef has carried the restaurant's three Michelin stars since 1986. The menu includes a number of great traditional dishes of the house, in honour of Michel Lorain, Jean-Michel's father. You can thus discover the special oysters in an ocean terrine, the Bresse bantam hen steamed in champaign, or the famous house black sausage enhanced with a magnificent old-fashioned mousseline purée.
Having grown up in a culinary-rich environment, his path was clearly cut out for him. In 1977, after taking his final school-leaving exams, he went to Troisgros, then to Le Taillevent in Paris and Girardet's in Crissier, before joining his father at the property in 1983, when the restaurant was awarded its third Michelin star.
Jean-Michel Lorain has received numerous honours throughout his career in recognition of his know-how in terms of fine cuisine. In 1993, Gault-Millau proclaimed him Chef of the Year, awarding his cuisine the highest mark: 19.5.
What was your most moving culinary experience?
Lunch with my parents at Chapel's in Mionnay in 1978: it remains my absolute benchmark for the perfect meal plus the pleasure of sharing a few hours with Alain whom we miss so much.
The most amusing kitchen incident you ever witnessed?
A gigantic strawberry tart, requested by a guest for his birthday. It was so big that when we tried to move it, we couldn't get it through the patisserie door!
Your best piece of advice for amateur chefs?
Make it simple and good.

Flowers, to a great extent, are everyone's go-to. Going for a celebration; birthday, anniversary, graduation – the first thing you think of buying is flowers. Going to a hospital to visit a friend – you take "get well soon" flowers. Had a fight with your girlfriend, need to say "sorry" – you get her flowers. Picking up your date; be it to prom, be it for your first date, be it a special date – you get flowers!
At any given point, there are always some flowers in everyone's house. A house without flowers to some looks deserted and incomplete. So why not grow your own flowers and cut costs of buying them all the time? I will talk about which plants are most popular and how to take care of them, so you don't have to worry about rushing to a florist every single time.
Lily bulbs are best planted in the Autumn, as they need a cold and dormant period to settle in before they start to bloom.
Lilies begin to bloom and flourish best during Spring and Summer.
In the blooming period, the most important factors to consider for healthy and beautiful lilies is that they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day, the soil should stay moist but not damp, the roots should be well aerated and there should be enough space between the buds for the roots to grow deep and long under the ground. The best way to ensure these conditions with little physical care is to plant the lily buds in a greenhouse.
Roses bloom best in soil with a pH of 6.5, with ample of water to keep the roots moist at all times – not just a sprinkle, but generous watering, regularly. Roses, much like lilies, need about 5-6 hours of sunlight per day, without which they would weaken and eventually fall off. With roses, you want to avoid chemical fertilizers, and definitely keep dust, pests, and animals away – best way without having to keep cleaning and setting traps for uninvited animals, is to put them in a greenhouse where they will be at their safest.
We all have at least one friend who like Blair Waldorf loves Peonies.
Peonies are extremely beautiful in their bloom (during spring), and fill up the garden in the prime (in the summers).
Peonies, despite being the least fussy about sunlight (still require a full day's worth of sunlight but can make do with half a day). They do however resent disturbance – so make sure they are kept safe from unwanted animals, other large trees, untimely rains and strong winds – much like Children, Peonies need a lot of affection in their development stage. Again, the easiest and most stress-free way for you to maintain peonies would be growing them in a greenhouse.
As you've noticed, the answer to a lot of questions on caring for plants results back to the same suggestion: A Garden Greenhouse. Truth be told, a greenhouse is just a room in your garden for your plants. Big, small, dome-like structure, triangular structure all depends on how you choose to design it, just like you design your own room.
Many wonders if the costs of building a greenhouse are justifiable against the returns. I mean, "is gardening really just a hobby or can it be more?" Why don't you find out and let us know what you think!

The pitch is split into 3 zones, with a goal at each end. The central zone is 5 yards long and the end zones are 15.
Players are locked in to their zones, the game is directional and the aim is to find space to receive when playing in balance. The ball can be transferred from defence to attack or can be linked through the magic man in the central zone. The ball can be played back as and where required. Rotate roles.
To progress, if a defender has the ball they can dribble in to attack, leaving a 1v2 defensively. They can also push on and join an attack if the ball is passed in. The nearest player should recover when possession is lost.

Matching lipstick and nail polish was a must for the glamour girl prior to Pearl Harbor. But, only a few months later, the most glamorous girls in the country were chucking those same hands into cotton work gloves, hiding their Joan Crawford lips behind weird looking masks, and exchanging their smart costumes for the uniform of the WOW.
Women are in the war with both feet and to do their production front jobs efficiently, without accident or injury, they must dress safely and work safely. Keeping these precautions constantly in the minds of women workers is one of the big jobs of safety engineers in war plants throughout the country. And, Pantex is no exception.
As a matter of curiosity, safety engineers were asked to break down the safety records of men and women workers at Pantex on a comparative basis. The picture which resulted was so alarming that even a casual glance at it should be enough to startle the women out of their lethargy and keep them on the alert from now on.
From September 1, 1942 to April 1, 1943, women accounted for 15.56 percent of the total hours worked at Pantex. During the same period, 23.58 percent of all accidents and injuries befell this same group of female workers. (The figures quoted to not apply to the employees of the administration, employment and hospital buildings since their exposure to hazards is comparatively slight.)
It is easy to understand why the ratio of mishaps to women was high in the early days of the plant's history. Most of them were housewives, school teachers, etc., and very few had experience as industrial workers.
But women are quick to catch on. During the month of February, they accounted for only 16.61 percent of all accidents and injuries despite the fact that their percentage of hours worked remained approximately the same, 15.11 percent of the total. They had to learn how to do their jobs safely and realizing the danger element in their work, they were careful to use the protective equipment provided them.

Shelby Township
Eagles' softball continues to improve
Eisenhower now a competitor in the MAC Red
By Thomas Franz
Posted May 14, 2014
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — In four seasons, Vince Alessandrini has changed the attitude of the Utica Eisenhower softball program. And with the change has come more and more success.
The Eagles are taking another step forward this spring thanks to a team batting average of .340 and maintaining a positive family atmosphere that Alessandrini has instilled in the program.
"Since I've been here, we've preached family. It's one team. We don't have a freshman team, a JV team and a varsity team. We're one team," Alessandrini said. "I pulled up a freshman who's coming today, and we don't treat her like a freshman, we treat her like one of the family, and that's what we preach. They're buying into it, and that's our success."
Senior captain Ellie Kauten, a catcher, has started every game while Alessandrini has been head coach, and he credited Kauten for being a leader in changing the program.
"Everyone follows her (Kauten). She could probably coach the team right now. She's been with me; she knows what I want and what we're doing. So we're definitely going to have to fill her hole next year. She's going to be missed," Alessandrini said.
Kauten will be playing for UM-Dearborn next year, and she echoed Alessandrini's statements about the program becoming a family at Eisenhower.
"My freshman year, we had a bunch of seniors, so we kind of started over sophomore year. We definitely evolved since then and gotten a lot better, and really, become like a family and one team," Kauten said. "We're all friends. We're not cliquey. We don't see each other by age. We're just all together."
Eisenhower moved up to the MAC Red after Kauten's sophomore year. Following two successful seasons in the MAC White, Kauten said that the move has led to greater commitment and maturity in the program.
"There was definitely a big difference in competition between the White and the Red. I don't want to say we struggled our first year in the Red, but it was definitely a big change from the White. We had to work harder and have the mental set prepared ahead of time," Kauten said.
That preparation has been evident this spring. On the diamond, Eisenhower has gotten major contributions offensively from junior shortstop Kayla Laquiere and junior first baseman Sydney Culps.
Both players have verbally committed to play softball in college, and their hitting stats prove why they will be playing at the next level. As of May 6, Laquiere was hitting .560 with six home runs and 20 RBI. For the last week of April, Culps hit .462 with five home runs and 14 RBI.
Alessandrini pointed to the team's commitment to the thorough offseason program as a contributing factor in the Eagles' hitting.
"That's one thing we've done since I've been here. We start preparing for our season in November by doing speed and agility work, and then some hitting on Sundays, which they've never done before. So our girls are actually starting to get some work in before the season starts," Alessandrini said.
Pitching this year are sophomore Natalie O'Reilly, and juniors Joanna Zweng and Allie Jodisz.
"Allie (Jodisz) has been pitching really well for us this year as our No.1. She's just been outstanding. We don't have a dominant pitcher, but she keeps us in the game and does her job," Alessandrini said.
Alessandrini also mentioned leadoff hitter Haley Czarnik, Victoria Hall, Jenna Rastigue and Olivia Chriss, another senior captain who plays outfield, as keys to the Eagles' success.
"Olivia Chriss came up as a sophomore, and she's like the mom of the team. She doesn't play a lot, but she'll cheer, and she's a great captain as far as picking people up and cheering people on. She can come off the bench and get a big hit for us when we need it. She's a great captain," Alessandrini said.
Eisenhower quickly bounced back from a tough doubleheader against Romeo on May 7 by sweeping L'Anse Creuse North in a doubleheader on May 8 to improve its record to 15-8.
To close out MAC Red play, Eisenhower will host Utica Ford for two games on May 13, and the Eagles will host Macomb Dakota in a doubleheader on May 15.

A blast at a Japanese chemical factory killed at least five and left a dozen injured yesterday.
The explosion happened in the early afternoon at the plant in Yokkaichi, when maintenance crews were working on a heat exchanger used in the production of silicon products, a plant spokesman said.
"Five people are dead and 12 have been injured, of whom nine sustained only minor injuries," said a police spokeswoman.
The plant in the south-central city, run by Mitsubishi Materials, makes parts for solar panels and cars, using polymers made from silicon, hydrogen and chlorine.
Television footage showed about a dozen firefighters setting out stretchers for victims at the site, where a pipe appeared to have fallen to the ground and other machinery parts were scattered nearby.
"I heard a boom and saw smoke rising from the plant," a 56-year-old worker at a nearby plant said. "I don't remember there ever being such a serious accident in Yokkaichi before."
A separate police spokeswoman said detailed inspections to determine the cause of the accident had not yet begun because of the danger of secondary explosions, although she added there was no known risk of a toxic chemical leak.
Hiroki Morofuji, an official at the plant, confirmed the explosion involved maintenance workers at the premises.
Mitsubishi Materials, based in Tokyo, makes products including car parts, silicon wafers for memory chips used in consumer electronics, and cement for road and bridge construction.
"Some 170 people were working at the plant," a Tokyo-based spokesman said. "Operations at the plant have been suspended. We still don't know the cause of the explosion."
He confirmed that the Yokkaichi factory was ordered by local officials to shut down for several months in 2010 after an on-site inspection discovered it was generating high-pressure gas without necessary permits.

Yasuki Jin was a courtier and merchant of the Crab Clan.
Merchant Patron Edit
Jin was tiny man whose charm and energy quickly opened the doors of the Yasuki Courtier school. He had a knack for finding good deals and for avoiding trouble and after his gempukku focused on making a name for himself as a Merchant Patron, gaining wealth for his clan and himself. Jin was sent to the court at Kyuden Kurogane-Hana, to prove his talents in more conventional diplomacy. Hida Yohachi was his bodyguard and friend. Jin's principal goal was to build up a network of favors and allies he could rely on in the future, as Toku Irui, or Kitsuki Rinjin. [1]

American science journalism "magazine" award features EU-funded banana project
At their recent annual meeting in San Francisco, California, the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) handed this year's science journalism award in the "magazine reporting" category to freelance journalist Craig Canine. Mr Canine had described ongoing efforts to build a "better banana" in a feature story which appeared in Smithsonian magazine. The EU's role in supporting CARBAP in Africa to find new varieties of bananas, which are a major source of food intake in developing countries, was highlighted.
Different banana varieties are an important food source for many Africans.
Millions depend on the banana to stay alive. With diseases threatening many banana varieties, scientists are searching for new hybrids. In a lively account, Mr Canine described the research effort and the ingenious methods being used to breed a better banana. "This was such an evocative piece that I had to go home and eat a banana, said jury member Seth Borenstein of the Associated Press. This article had everything you look for depth, detail, significance and science. Truly an enjoyable read."
The AAAS science journalism awards, which have been given to nearly 400 journalists since the competition began in 1945, grant a prize sum of $ 3 000 and a plaquete. The 2006 AAAS Science Journalism Award Ceremony took place at this year's AAAS annual meeting on 16 February in San Francisco. Independent panels of science journalists chose the winners of the awards in categories for print (large/small newspapers), magazine and television, radio and online journalism. Another prize category for "Childrens Science News" was added in 2005 and is the only category open for journalists from anywhere in the world.
Craig Canine, who wrote the story for Smithsonian magazine, remarked that he was "gratified and humbled to be associated with the distinguished journalists whom the AAAS has honoured with these awards over the years". He stressed his hopes that his story brings "wider attention to the pressing scientific need to breed new, disease-resistant crop varieties for the use of subsistence farms in Africa and elsewhere." The story was first published in October 2005 to a mostly American readership and can be read online.
For his story, Canine visited leading banana treasuries in Europe and Africa. At the Catholic University of Leuven near Brussels the world's largest collection of banana varieties are guarded: 1200 different varieties of bananas are kept there, not what the consumer would expect when facing the one and only supermarket banana, known by experts as
Musa sapientum
, on the shelves. The EU is supporting Africa's efforts to breed different varieties of bananas with a multi-annual development project. The African Research Center on Bananas and Plantains (CARBAP) develops and breeds tree-size specimens, unlike the Belgium germ store. With the support of the EU, CARBAP has already developed a number of disease-resistant varietes that farmers can test in their own fields. CARBAP, which runs between 2004 and 2009, works with traditional breeding methods (no genetic modifications) using modern molecular genetics techniques for rapid screening of hybrids for disease susceptibility, as well as for nutritional and other characteristics, like fruit texture and taste. And in Africa the banana is not the sweet type of variety mostly known in the Western world, but a starch rich source of calories.
Smithsonian magazine is a monthly publication which chronicles the arts, history, sciences and popular culture. It is edited by the Smithsonian Institution, America's national educational facility with 18 museums, 9 research centres and 120 affiliates around the world.

Khronos Starts Intitiative for 3-D Graphics on the Web
The Khronos consortium seized an offer from Mozilla and would like to create an accelerated, royalty-free standard for 3D graphics on the Web.
A working group, entitled "Accelerated 3D on Web," has been established and is chaired by Mozilla. The goal is to have the first results of this effort ready within 12 months.
All interested parties are invited to take part. The working group will test a diverse array of applications for an API that the accelerated 3D graphics will make useable. OpenGL and OpenGL ES 2.0 along with JavaScript are among the prospects.
OpenGL and its applications are available on almost every desktop system. In the future, JavaScript is to become more and more efficient. Mozilla has recommended the use of the OpenGL ES 2.0 API in connection with a JavaScript container, along with the standardized version of the ECMAScript. Khronos member Google wants to bring its experience with graphics and web development to the fold.

Quick Chek Responds to Residents' Concerns About New Location
Convenience store chain says it will be a good neighbor and provide excellent service.
WALL, N.J. -- Quick Chek's efforts to open a new store and gas station at a former state police barracks here may not be so quick after all. Several residents expressed concerns about the plan, Frank Marchiano, the convenience store chain's real estate manager, said at Wednesday's board of adjustment meeting, reported Wall Patch.
Quick Chek plans to open a 5,496-square-foot store and 16-pump gas station at 2101 Allenwood Rd., near New Jersey state route 138. However, residents of an adjacent neighborhood to the planned location, living on Sleepy Hollow Court, expressed concerns a Quick Chek store would not be beneficial to the local community.
Picking up on that point, Wilma Morrissey, the board of adjustment's vice chair, asked during the meeting: "How does this site benefit the neighbors?"
Marchiano responded that Quick Chek offers an important service, including providing gas and groceries. "We are desirous of being a good community member," he said, as reported by Wall Patch. ""We think we provide a great service."
During the meeting, Board Chairwoman Mary DeSarno promised that the public would be allowed to comment on the proposal during its Nov. 2 hearing at town hall.

1 year old sleep issues

Posted 07 February 2013 - 10:46 AM
Since my son who is now almost 13 months started crawling at 9 months he refuses to have a day nap. I think in the whole 3-4 months he has had 2 maybe 3 naps for maybe 30mins. His sleep at night is generally OK sleeps up to 12 hours most nights but no matter what I try during the day he will not sleep, have tried taking him to the play ground to tire him out, hot baths, feeding him to sleep, keeping him awake longer, not keeping him up as long, getting him up earlier in the morning & nothing works. I get nothing done during the day & often get's tired & ends up a grumpy mess & for his development he is supposed to be getting closer to 14 hours sleep a day but some days he might only 8 - 10. Anything else I can try?

Posted 07 February 2013 - 11:03 AM
I think your little one is way too young to not nap. you don't say what you actually do or don't do at nap times and at night? maybe if you set this out people might be better able to help out.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 11:10 AM
I agree, he definitely needs to nap! His bed time routine has always been dinner a massage, get pjs on, quite time, story, breastfeed, lie him in bed & give him his cuddley & he's asleep within 5 mins. For day naps all I have ever had to do was have a few mins of quiet time, lie him in bed & give him his cuddley but that doesn't work anymore. I tried wrapping him a few different ways because until summer hit he was always wrapped for bed but that hasn't helps. I am trying to implement a bit more of a getting ready for a nap routine with him during the day such as getting him changed, reading a book, milk ect but it's like he senses what I'm trying to do & he just looses it
#4 Guest_divineM_*
Posted 07 February 2013 - 11:19 AM
what do you do when he loses it? Also how many naps/what time are you trying?
Posted 07 February 2013 - 11:26 AM
For 2 months I tried to continue giving him 2 naps as that was what he had always done but have given up & am trying to get 1 for now. Tho I think he needs 2 I have to start somewhere. when he looses it I have just been carrying on with it, settling him as much as possible then going back to the book or whatever. Sometimes he might settle enough for me to get him off to bed but when I put him down he just starts to talk then stands up & walks around his cot talking until he's bored then he starts screaming. If I skip the routine he screams before he even lies down in bed...

Posted 07 February 2013 - 12:28 PM
not sure if i understood correctly but you are trying to put him to sleep outside of the cot and then to put him down?
it's just my opinion, but i think he should be more than ready to learn to self settle. we did it with the help of a sleep nanny but you could try it on your own...
Posted 07 February 2013 - 12:55 PM
MY DS does the same thing but reverse - he's a dream to self settle during the day but since Christmas has been a nightmare at night. He's nearly 14 months.
Basically at 1 they are far more aware of wanting you around & Im sure that's our issue, he wants to be with us & not miss out, plus he's finding it harder to settle himself after a busy day of playing, walking ( new since Aussie Day), swimming etc. He's been a perfect self settler since 5 months.
We had been rocking him to sleep but this week I said enough is enough. Im not an advocate of CC so I've done my own thing.
We go through the night time routine ( similar to yours) but in your case daytime routine, talk him through it " going to read some books then time to lie down with snuggly & have a nap', do this at several intervals & also say ' last book then off to nigh nigh etc.
Place him in his cot with snuggly, say night night then sit in a chair next to the cot - no eye contact but you can sooth by saying sit down, lie down, go nigh nighs' I've also started singing Twinkle twinkle, he finds it very calming and we've gone from 40 minutes of standing & crying to 10 minutes in 4 days....
Its hard work but I think once he's happy to settle himself we'll just move closer to the door over time and then out:-)
Hope that helps, you have to be firm but kind, let him know you hear him and that he's ok. Ofcourse make sure there are no underlying causes like teeth etc but if he's OK at night then I doubt it.
Good Luck - PM me if you want to chat.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 06:20 PM
What happens if you go for a drive after lunch? If he will sleep then, then maybe do that at a set time for a week or so and see if you can get his body used to sleeping again.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 08:17 AM
Thanks, at night he self settles with no problems & always used to settle him self during the day. I feel like since he has started crawling his mind is just going a mile a minute & he can't switch off, he has become really hyper. I talked about it to my friend last night who's 6 year old son is has bad ADHD & she told me that first thing in the morning she gives him quiet time, with calming music, a massage ect before breakfast & then during the day he seems more able to focus. I am wondering whether that might work in my son so I'm going to trial it tomorrow. The last 2 nights he hasn't slept well but still won't nap during the day & he's a major GRUMP!
Posted 08 February 2013 - 08:18 AM
also he doesn't sleep in the car or pram anymore
Posted 08 February 2013 - 08:31 AM
I wonder if he has very subtle tired signs and by the time you are able to see he is tired, he is overtired and struggles to sleep?
I also think you are going to need to pick a strategy, and stick to it. Chopping and changing approaches doesn't work. Babies need to learn sleep cues, so that they know sleep is coming and can wind down. It might take a few weeks of consistency to work. After sleep school for 4 nights, I was completely consistent with routine to the point of not going out, etc, for a few weeks and after that we were able to make it a little more flexible.
I suggest contacting a sleep school for a day stay to help you work out some approaches that will fit your family.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 08:52 AM
Thanks, whatever i try i try & stick to it for 2 weeks but if after the first week it is only making matters worse i stop because it's not fair on him, if I find a strategy that helps i will definitely stick to it.
He definitely has subtle tired signs, once he's tired he gets cranky but by then it is too late, I've tried to put him down just before I think he's going to get cranky & that's when he'll lie down for a few minutes talking then get up & start walking around his cot before he starts to cry which is much better than just screaming
Posted 08 February 2013 - 09:07 AM
Ah Asha9 I was just going to suggest the pram but I see your last post...
About 4/5 weeks ago I did a sleep and settle programme and my just turned 1 year old now mostly sleeps 10-11 hours at night BUT it came at the price of her not wanting to sleep in the cot during the day.
I was spending 45 mins settling her, resettling her just to follow the instructions to try the pram/sling after that long!
So I cut out the middle-man and we bring the dog around the block for 15 mins once (if it is later morn and she has a couple of hours sleep) or twice (if it is early like this morn at 9.30 and then again about 3pm). I have to lie the pram seat back and cover her over with the dark sun shade half way around to promote the nodding off.
Then when we get in she is wheeled into her dark room and left there (at the moment with a fan for white noise as it is warm).
I will keep trying the cot now and again for the day but it wasn't worth us both getting upset to end up in the pram anyway.

Posted 08 February 2013 - 09:11 AM
I would second the suggestion of sleep school or a day visit from a sleep nanny. Ours cost about $200-250 for a 3 hour visit and follow up calls/email until things were sorted. that way you are getting a solution tailored to your LO.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 11:50 AM
Try sitting with him whilst he settles during the day - it will throw you out of whack for a week or so but it will work I'm sure.
DS self settled last night with no tears, screaming, standing up etc for the first time since Xmas & I didn't have to stay in the room. It's been 5 days since I started to sit wiht him & sing & ask him to sit down & go to sleep...these kids are smart!
Our bubs are the same age and at similar developmental stages that's why I suggest trying it...
Posted 10 February 2013 - 10:45 PM
OP how have you survived? I go crazy if DD doesn't day sleep!!
Reading your original post I was gonna suggest the pram..
I'd suggest a great daily routine and stick to it. Wear him out but have a sort of wind down period before nap time (ie drawing or reading to him). Maybe see a sleep specialist.
Good luck I can only imagine how much you want those few hours back to yourself everyday! X
Posted 11 February 2013 - 01:08 AM
I agree he needs a sleep, but I personally settle for 'quiet time' and hope that he drifted off in that time.
We also use the car to get 2.8yo DD to sleep
Posted 18 February 2013 - 02:20 AM
My 13 month old has really started protesting naps & done so on & off for the past 2 months or so. Mornin sleep is ok but afternoons she really fights. But she also doesn't cope with just one. I have always let ee self settle & she usually cries for all of one minute when I leave the room, then chatters & yells out until she goes to sleep. Mornings usually take half hr & afternoons sometimes she doesn't sleep but I always leave her for at least an hr & longer if she's not upset - usually she just talks on & off then lies quietly, then yells out, then chatters but doesn't generally get to distraught about it & usually goes to sleep eventually - more often than not 5 mins before I have decided I will get her up. I used to go in & cuddle her if age was t asleep after half hr but there came a time when that only upset her & she wasn't crying so really no reason for me to upset her. I also have a very active 3 yr old who has a 'rest' watching a movie at the same time so it is also much needed down time for me where I can get some things done - I work from home so it's a must that I actually have some time to do it. As previous posts say, even if she doesn't sleep, the rest benefits her as I get up a much happier girl than I put down...
You could even just try putting bub in the cot with some quiet toys and gradually stretching out the time you leave him in there by a couple of minutes a day. I wouldn't go straight to demanding he self settle after such a long time but I would develop a nice routine that includes some of your night bedtime things to indicate sleep, then pop him in bed & return to him to lie him down & reassure him - yes he may scream for the first little while but I do think he would at least get used to being left alone for a few mins at a time- I would hope! They can be so determined & strong willed from such a young age, and I don't think it's at all about showing them whose boss - I just think they need a mental break from all the interaction & if nothing else, some quiet time would help him unwind. Just don't go in with an expectation that he will sleep - Just aim for some quiet & perhaps he might surprise you on occasion with a sleep

The Weekly Review
Last week was better than every other week this summer...because I made myself be accountable finally!
I've been piddling around with the book too much and not actually getting it closer to finished. Yeah, yeah, I know it's summer and "the living is easy," and all that. But Oktoberfest Cincinnati is just around the corner, and wasn't that my deadline?
Well, yeah, it was, but...insert any number of excuses here. My cousins have heard every excuse known to mankind by now. They thought a famly history book would take a few months.
And then something really good happened Friday. I was so sick of being stuck on this last chapter, so I switched gears and went over to Create Space and did a trial run with the rest of the edited chapters. I faltered a few times, but it wasn't at all like I'd expected from reading other authors' experience. The process is pretty straightforward. Not without some minor craziness of course, but you'd almost expect that. Once I understood the workings of loading and reviewing and then loading a new file, I felt like the weight of the world had lifted from my shoulders.
I had so feared this part, and I think that slowed me down from finishing.
Even my photos went through without a hitch. I only had one-- ONE -- thing to correct by the reviewer, and that was one of my photos was too small.
I didn't even get upset...well maybe a little...when right in the middle of reloading the manuscript after corrections, a storm rolled in and zapped the power and took the internet down. And it stayed down for hours, came back, and then went down for the rest of the night.
But I'd seen my book. For the first time I'd seen what the last four years of work looked like in book form.. I'm finishing up now and coming 'round the bend.
So this last week's review is good. In other ways too.
This is a Tomato Summer. Makes up for last summer for sure. I have lost count of how many quarts I've canned. I've been so busy writing that I haven't even put the last batch in the pantry. They do look pretty sitting on the counter of course.
The rest of the garden is pretty much played out, and it's time for Gary to till up bed number 1 for the fall veggies.
Jeff liked the DIYFish New Pocket inserts, and I will have to take a picture of his little black planner and post later. I think working with him in his planner has helped in some ways.
This man/boy of mine sometimes surprises us all.
We've been reading lots of new books this summer, and I'm beginning to see an improvement in his speech. Not a gigantic improvement, but just enough to feel good about.
He recently had his yearly Survivorship Clinic appointment, and we still wonder what he'd be like if not for the radiation to his brain to nuke the brain tumor..
But we know it does no good to go there. Just enjoy what is right now. And he is a blessing.
And moving forward, which is the only way to move, I've used my pumped-up energy seeing my book online to sketch a new plan in the notes section above. The list gets shorter and shorter.
I hope next Monday I am reviewing my proofs and anticipating holding a real book in my hands.
And, who knows, I might even have organized the pantry!

Caption It: The Funny Side of the Competitionby Maria Russo in Food Network Star, June 24, 2016
Food Network Star mentors Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis expect the best from the finalists in terms of on-camera charm and culinary expertise. And the mentors know just how to deliver no-nonsense challenges that test both skills, as they are keenly aware of the traits needed to be successful onscreen and at the stove. Six weeks into the contest, the remaining competitors are halfway to the finish line, so the judges' expectations are getting only higher and more demanding. But that doesn't mean the judges don't know how to have a little fun on set too.
Check out the above photo from Sunday's all-new episode. Along with guest judge Duff Goldman, who's on hand for the Mentor Challenge, the mentors are simply cracking up at the scene unfolding before them. While Bobby leans over in grinning laughter, Giada covers her face and Duff looks on with a smile — all three enjoying themselves and letting loose at the judges' table. What do you think has them in stitches? Who could be making them laugh like that?
