The Quiet Owner: Paul Allen
The understated owner of the Portland Trail Blazers and the Seattle Seahawks doesn't do Dancing with the Stars, doesn't throw public tantrums and doesn't constantly threaten to move his teams. So why is it again that he's considered the weird one?
Posted: Tuesday November 27, 2007 11:28AM; Updated: Friday November 30, 2007 9:23AM
It was only a preseason game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Seattle SuperSonics. But the doughy Blazers fan in the catacombs of the Rose Garden was walking excitedly toward the courtside entrance. Though he was a couple of months from turning 55, he resembled nothing so much as an awestruck boy lucky enough to have scored sweet seats to his first game. Wearing wire-rimmed glasses, a tight-fitting blue corduroy jacket, black slacks and black loafers, he smiled as he made his way out of the tunnel. When he shuffled past the Blazers' bench three minutes into the first quarter, he stared for several seconds at the tall men before settling into his front-row seat behind the baseline.
He was flanked by his new buddy Kevin and his old college roommate Bert. Even as they conversed, the fan didn't divert his strikingly blue eyes from the action on the court. He smiled when the Blazers scored and grimaced when they didn't. After a sensational play he'd jerk his head up and look eagerly at the replay. When Gary Glitter's Rock 'n' Roll Part II came on the P.A. system after a Blazers run, the man sang along -- da-na-na... HEY! -- with a tentative fist pump. When a courtside waitress approached during a timeout, he requested a burger and a Coke. Let the Brahmins in the corporate suites order salmon cakes and bottled water. The fan chomped on his junk food and absentmindedly fiddled with the straw in his soda. He wasn't above swiping some fries off Bert's cardboard tray when Bert wasn't looking.
The Blazers pulled out a two-point win, and the fan glowed as he made his way back into the courtside tunnel. "Oh, boy!" he said, looking wide-eyed at some of the players as they sprinted past him toward the locker room. Oh, boy! He made no attempt to stop any of them as they went by.
But he could have. The boyish fan, Paul Allen, owns the Blazers. He also owns the Rose Garden. And he owns the NFL team up the road, the Seattle Seahawks, which makes him the only individual to solely own two teams in the U.S.'s big three sports. A high-tech demigod, Allen cofounded the world's largest computer technology corporation. He is one of the richest men in history, a figure of such dizzying wealth and eclectic tastes that he recently donated $100 million to brain research and $25 million to the search for extraterrestrial life. One could safely assume that his net worth eclipses that of all the other fans in the Rose Garden combined.
Shortly after the Blazers-Sonics game ended, instead of palling around with his players, Allen hopped on his jet and returned to his sprawling estate on Mercer Island, Wash., declining to stay at the Austin Powers-style apartment he'd built for himself and his mother in the Rose Garden rafters. He was soaring high above the Cascade Mountains and Douglas firs when, back in the Blazers' postgame locker room, another NBA owner became the topic of conversation.
"Hey!" Blazers guard Brandon Roy yelled. "You hear Cuban got kicked off Dancing with the Stars last night?"
Is there a job classification that covers a wider range of personalities than pro sports team owner? After establishing that all owners possess enormous wealth, the similarities end. The omnium gatherum includes casino mogul party dudes (Gavin and Joe Maloof), irrepressible New Economy tycoons (Mark Cuban), former car salesmen (Larry Miller) and aging hipsters known to entertain company by setting their chest hair afire (Jerry Buss). And this is only the NBA's Western Conference!

EditShare Takes The Bounty At Hybrid FilmsHybrid Films is producing 2 new primetime series for A&E: ?Dog the Bounty Hunter? and ?King Of Cars? (May 16, 2006)
Hybrid Films is a New York based, independent production company that produces award-winning reality based television programs. Over the last 10 years, the company has produced character-driven documentary and factual, entertainment programming for A&E, the BBC, Arte, HBO and The Discovery Channel.
Currently, Hybrid Films is producing 2 new primetime series for A&E: ?Dog the Bounty Hunter, now in season 3, follows the real-life exploits of an expert bounty hunter in Hawaii, and ?King Of Cars, a brand new series that takes viewers on a thrill ride into the crazy, cutthroat world of car sales.
With several projects running concurrently, Hybrid was finding that the management of their media was getting out of control. They had 23 editors needing simultaneous access to all new footage, plus they had media from three previous seasons of Bounty Hunter that had to be available for use in the new season. So it was time to make a choice: either continue buying an ever-mounting number of external drives or look into implementing a centralized storage solution that would allow collaborative editing from a single pool of media. This is when they turned to EditShare, as Post Production Technical Supervisor Mark Hervey explains:
?We were editing from external drives and had to copy media daily to those drives so that everyone had access to the same material. Media management was getting out of hand with two shows being produced at the same time plus having to store media from three seasons of ?Dog the Bounty Hunter. Eventually we were spending so much money on external drives that we determined it would cost us more to buy additional drives than to purchase the EditShare system!
?We did a lot of research on other products and EditShare came out on top: it was the best priced and highest quality shared media system that could use our existing Ethernet networking infrastructure. Other solutions either offered fewer seats for more money, or required a prohibitively expensive new fiber optic cable infrastructure. And EditShare was the only solution that offered our editors the ability to work in shared Avid Projects, where everyone can see what everyone else is editing. The choice was an easy one to make, adds Hervey.
Connected to the 9.6TB EditShare system are 15 full editing suites running Avid Xpress Pro on Macintosh G5s, as well as several PowerBook G4s and iMac G5s to do light editing and screening. The EditShare system gives Hybrids 23 editors the ability to digitize into and edit from the same Media Spaces.
At any given time, each one of them can work from the exact same shared Avid project files and access every second of video shot for the previous two seasons of ?Dog the Bounty Hunter, at 15:1 offline resolution. And thanks to EditShares comprehensive media management and security features, everyone can work with the knowledge that files and shared Avid bins arent getting erased or modified by editors who don't have the proper authority.
?Its only been a few weeks and already we have a more streamlined workflow, if only for the fact that we dont have to copy media anymore! concludes Hervey.

Republicans spent the better part of Thursday bemoaning a move by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to change the Senate rules in a procedure known as the "nuclear option."
But in reality, what happened was a political victory for Republicans who will likely point to this day as evidence that the Democrats are disregarding the Constitution. For no one is that more true than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is up for re-election next year and is battling both a primary and general election opponent.
After Republicans blocked three of the president's nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and Rep. Melvin Watt, D-N.C., to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Reid pulled the trigger and called for a vote to change the rules so that the minority party can no longer use a filibuster to block judicial and executive branch nominees, except for those nominated to the Supreme Court.the failed Obamacare launch.
"Here's the problem with this latest distraction: It doesn't distract people from Obamacare. It reminds them of Obamacare. It reminds them of all the broken promises. It reminds them of the power grab. It reminds them of the way Democrats set up one set of rules for themselves and another for everybody else," McConnell said. "Rather than distract people from Obamacare, it only reinforces the narrative of a party that is willing to do and say just about anything to get its way."
- The filibuster fight: Same story, roles reversed
- Reid invokes nuclear option to get Obama nominees approved
In McConnell's book, one can draw a direct line between Democratic efforts to get the Affordable Care Act through Congress and their decision to change the Senate rules three and a half years later. "And the parallels between this latest skirmish and the original Obamacare push are just too obvious to ignore," he said.
The minority leader's remarks Thursday show that the rule change today just offered Republicans another chance to highlight the failures of the health care law. That's what makes this skirmish over the filibuster so different from all of the other ones that Reid and McConnell have had in recent years, all of which ended in agreements to avoid the nuclear option. This time, he didn't seem to be looking for a deal.
"In effect McConnell went nuclear before Reid did," said Norm Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
"This was a pretty deliberate act on McConnell's part to bring this about," Ornstein said. "This time it was very clear that Reid had the votes and also clear that he preferred not to do this, and what you saw was McConnell, [Iowa Sen. Chuck] Grassley and other Republicans almost daily taunting the Democrats to go ahead and do it."
McConnell believes that Republicans have a shot at winning the Senate back in 2014 and the White House in 2016 – at which point the rules change would benefit them in the majority, and they could place the blame on Democrats for carrying it out.
It also helps McConnell with the base of the Republican Party back home in Kentucky, who will be instrumental in ensuring his re-election. They may not be thrilled with the minority leader for the role he played in striking a deal to end the 16-day government shutdown in October, but this could help voters to see him as "fighting the crazy Democrats who are shedding the Constitution," Ornstein said.
He predicted that Republican media outlets, already running on overtime to cover problems with the launch of HealthCare.gov, will quickly link it to the end of the filibuster for certain nominees.
For evidence that preserving the filibuster is not some deeply-held conviction for the Republican leader, look no further than 2005, the last battle over the procedural took that occurred while Democrats were in the minority. Reid in 2005 could easily be mistaken for McConnell in 2013, and vice versa.
"The majority in the Senate is prepared to restore the Senate's traditions and precedence to ensure that regardless of party, any president's judicial nominees, after full and fair debate, receive a simple up-or-down vote on the Senate floor," McConnell said in 2005, when he was the Senate Majority Whip. He added that the Senate needed to return from "advise and obstruct" and return to "advise and consent."
Compare that to Reid's remarks on the floor Thursday, where he said, "The consistent and unprecedented obstruction by the Republican caucus has turned 'advise and consent' to 'deny and obstruct'."opposite side of the debate in 2005. When Republicans threatened to change the rules then, he said, "This is an attempt to strip away those important checks and balances. It's not about judges. It's about the desire for absolute power."
"The nuclear option abandons America's sense of fair play…."I say to my friends on the Republican side, you may own the field right now, but you won't own it forever," Biden said. "I pray God, when the Democrats take back control, we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing."
Mr. Obama, then a senator, said, "If the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate, then the fighting and the gridlock and the bitterness will only get worse."
When the trigger was finally pulled in 2013, Mr. Obama got his judicial nominees. McConnell got a political weapon. But life will be hard for Democrats running for re-election in red states who are already in a tough spot defending the health care law.
Two of them, Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., who's up for re-election in heavily Republican Arkansas next year, and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., voted with Republicans to prevent the rule change.
"Today's use of the 'nuclear option' could permanently damage the Senate and have negative ramifications for the American people," Pryor said. "This institution was designed to protect—not stamp out—the voices of the minority."
" I voted against the rules changes today because they simply went too far. I firmly believe that the filibuster is a vital protection of the minority views and exactly why the Framers of our Constitution made the Senate the 'cooling saucer,'" Manchin said.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to play the music-hating villain in the forthcoming film of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"If Tipper Gore and Anita Bryant had a love child" is how director Adam Shankman describes the character, who was created especially for the movie, apparently in an attempt to streamline story strands.
Zeta-Jones, who recently hit the headlines after receiving treatment for bipolar disorder, won a best supporting actress Oscar for 2002's big-screen musical Chicago. "It's like the musical gods just blessed us," said Shankman of Zeta-Jones's potential involvement in Rock of Ages.
The story follows a small-town girl who travels to Hollywood in the mid-80s in search of the big-haired sound. Alec Baldwin, Tom Cruise, Mary J Blige, Paul Giamatti and newcomer Julianne Hough are already on board. Shooting is scheduled to start on 19 May.

Hi. I took out some fondant to use for a cake I'm making now to find that after I put it in the microwave it became a crumbly mess. I took apart a little piece and started kneading and it got a little better but not totally and then put the small piece back in the microwave which I believe made it a little better. I've also been using some water. Even with all this it is no shape to cover a cake.The fondant is just over a week old and homemade. Can you help? Thanks!
try adding veg shortening and stop adding water.
It's not really working. Any other tips? Is it too old?
How long has it been stored? How waS it wrapped? What recipe did you use? Did you make it yourself or is it purchased?
If it was crumbly to start with just after you made it it will be impossible to get it smooth without lumps. Sometimes if I leave mine in the KA too long with too much powdered sugar mine will be crumbly and I have to toss it because it will never be smooth. It is easier to start over with a fresh batch. If you need to use it right away knead a lot more powdered sugar into it until it becomes more stiff. You don't have to let it rest and it is very easy to work with. If it stretches too much or tears knead more PS into it. Good luck.
It's Colette Peter's recipe. It's been stored on the counter for just over a week. The problem might be that the plastic wrap I used didn't really stick to it.

maybe you could say something like "What have you been up to or How are u?" at the end of what you just wrote too. So that she has something to reply back to so she will not be unsure of what to say next. Besides that I don't see a problem with it.00|00|0

The sequel to the unexpectedly acclaimed 2013 Tomb Raider series reboot, Rise of the Tomb Raider, is going to be exclusively on Xbox One when it launches next holiday 2015. The game was announced in June at E3, but the assumption then was that it would be multi-platform. It was a safe assumption: The original as well as its remastered version were available for Xbox and PlayStation platforms (as well as PC and Mac).
Crystal Dynamics' head of product development Darrell Gallagher made the announcement at Gamescom 2014 today, and lest you wonder if "coming holiday 2015, exclusively to Xbox" means a timed-exclusive, with the game eventually rounding the bend for rival platforms, it sounds like that's not the case (and that it is indeed Xbox-only forever).
Here's Gallagher clarifying things on Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider Tumblr:
Dear Tomb Raider Community,
As you may have seen, we've just announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider, coming Holiday 2015, is exclusively on Xbox. We consider all of you to be the lifeblood of Tomb Raider and the work we do at Crystal. I'd like to give you some insight into this decision, and why we feel this is the very best thing for the Tomb Raider sequel we're creating at the studio.
Tomb Raider in 2013 was a success due in large part to your continued support. Our goal has always been to deliver something truly special with Rise of the Tomb Raider. Today's announcement with Microsoft is one step to help us put Tomb Raider on top of action adventure gaming. Our friends at Microsoft have always seen huge potential in Tomb Raider and have believed in our vision since our first unveil with them on their stage at E3 2011. We know they will get behind this game more than any support we have had from them in the past - we believe this will be a step to really forging the Tomb Raider brand as one of the biggest in gaming, with the help, belief and backing of a major partner like Microsoft.
This doesn't mean that we're walking away from our fans who only play on PlayStation or on PC. Those are great systems, with great partners, and amazing communities. We have Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris coming to those platforms this December, and Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition is available on PS4.
We know that there are probably many more questions and concerns. Please do send them to us, and we'll answer to the best of our ability. Meanwhile we're going all out to try and make something truly special - the most ambitious Tomb Raider game ever built.

I wanted to ask, how can I integrate 2 forms on the same page, but they both work independent?Asked by Dimar on November 23, 2013 at 11:40 PM
Hello, greetings.
First thanks for the service provided has been of help system for forms but I worry that one day may not work or have a problem with the resends the email. I only use 2 forms any more, however as a button thanks should avilitar of donation.
I wanted to ask, how can I integrate 2 forms on the same page, but they both work independent? Currently if I send one, the other conflicts.
thanks, successes!
JotForm Support
Hello Dimar,
If you want to embed two forms in one single webpage, the best available option is to use iFrame embed code for both the forms.
If the iFrame embed code is not used, there will be a possible JavaScript script conflict between both the forms. Both the form will have its own set of included JS script which can create conflict. Your webpage will have two form tags with two action URL.
Please use iFrame embed code to embed both the forms in one single web page and you should be good to go. Both the form will work independently. Here is a guide which should help you grab you form's iFrame embed code: http://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Make deer hunting trip a success
Deer Hunting Article
Deer hunting is an adventurous activity which is enjoyed by million of people. During the deer hunting season, many take to the woods with enthusiasm. Hunting by the moon phase can help the hunter not to return empty handed and this deer hunting article can guide you perfectly. Changes in the position of the sun and moon cause various changes in wildlife. Paying attention to the phases of the moon can help the deer hunters amazingly.
Understanding moon phases to hunt a deer :
During the daylight, animals tend to be less active. Thus, moon phase can accurately predict the deer activity. Darkness cover feels safer for animals and that time most of the deers are active. When the moon is full, deers tend to be more active. Anticipating the peak of animal activity is much simpler if one understands the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon affect the deer mating patterns and therefore, in any deer hunting article it is stated that deers are easier to locate during the moon phase. The breeding season determines the travelling patterns of the deer and finding more than one deer is quite easy during this time. So, you can lure the bucks during a full moon phase. Planning ahead and hunting by moon phase can thus be fruitful.
Hunting activity:
In some of the states using archery equipment, slug guns and muzzleloaders are necessary to hunt a deer. Centerfire rifles are prohibited in certain states. Some changes to the licensing system have been proposed and these changes will come into effect from 2015-16. To make the most out of deer hunting one should have appropriate hunting clothes, right type of hunting equipments and the best location. One can get in touch with the hunting consultancy who can give complete information where deer hunting is executed smoothly.
In the big woods bucks like to cruise the edge and whitetail breeders can be found here. One can hunt within the softwoods. Standing corn is also helpful to the deer hunters. Standing corn is an ideal place to hunt in the right season and in the right condition. So, if you are interested about the deer hunting activity, then finding information about such places can be a boon. You can plan your trip in a wonderful way then. This will also help you to take necessary precautions wherever necessary so the complete activity of deer hunting becomes successful.
Taking help from the deer hunting article is another wise idea as this will allow you to be more familiar about the place you are going to visit for the deer hunting activity. These days trip can be planned in budget if you take proper information about hunting activity in the desired location.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My two college aged children are driving vehicles that are in my name. I was advised to put the insurance in their names which i've done. We have the max insurance coverage we could get. I couldn't buy an additional umbrella policy because there were too many speeding tickets between all members of my family. If they were in an accident in which the liability exceeded my insurance coverage would they come after my assets? Does it matter that I pay the insurance even though its in their names? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you
Louisiana does not recognize the "family purpose doctrine" as described by another attorney who answered your question; so you would not be liable just based upon your ownership of the vehicle. But Louisiana does recognize the notion of "negligent entrustment". The key to your own exposure lies in the extent to which you would be found personally negligent or "at fault". If your children are both over 18 years of age, you would have no exposure for their personal negligence. But, as another attorney has answered, you would have exposure for your own negligence if you knew of some fact or condition which suggested that they should not be allowed to drive your vehicle, and where that fact or condition contributed to the accident, e.g. where they are prone to seizures, and where they had a seizure which caused the accident in question. Also, there is at least a possibility that some liability could attach to you as owner of the vehicle, if the accident was caused, not by driver error, but by a defect in the vehicle, e.g. the brakes failed to respond. If you are concerned about personal liability, and if you fear that your insurance limits are inadequate, you should consider putting the vehicles in the names of your children. That would shield you from any potential liability that might otherwise arise out of negligent entrustment or defect in the vehicle.

I'm going to change ownership on the vehicles. My kids don't have any assets. I don't think negligent entrustment would be an issue as they are good kids. My husband and I and kids each have a speeding ticket and the limit was three in order to get a 2 million dollar umbrella policy. Its probably time for us to look at estate planning. Thank you for your very insightful comments.
Hopeful someone from Louisanna will jump in here, but in my opinion, most lawyers are interested in the known deep pocket of the insurance company. Going after your personal assets (at least in Texas) is a difficult road. However, if your family has multiple speeding tickets there is at least some evidence of disregard of the law, which coould be problematic.

This answer is provided as a public service and as a general response to a general question, it is not meant, and should not be relied upon as specific legal advice, nor does it create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
In your scenario, the doctrine of negligent entrustment arises under Georgia law. Louisiana probably uses some form of this doctrine. In that situation, a party is liable if he entrusts someone with an instrumentality, with actual knowledge that the person to whom he has entrusted the instrumentality is incompetent by reason of his age or inexperience, or his physical or mental condition, or his known habit of recklessness.
In Georgia, when an automobile is maintained by the owner for the use and convenience of his family, such owner is liable for the negligence of a member of the family having authority to drive the car while it is being used for a family purpose. The "family purpose" doctrine applies so as to make the owner liable for the driver's negligence when these factors apply: 1) that person owns, has an interest in, or controls the automobile; 2) that person made the auto available for family use rather than for his business; 3) the driver must be a member of the immediate household; and 4) that person gave permission or acquiesced in the driver's operation of the auto. The most important of these is "authority and control."
Whether your assets are exposed is yet another state-specific question. Generally, it sounds as if you should speak to a licensed estate planning attorney in Louisiana to discuss asset protection strategies. Good luck and remember to mark which answer you feel was the best.

How to find all the defects which are in "Opened" state and owned by a specific user using Rational ClearQuest APIs
Technote (FAQ)
How do you find all the defects which are in the "Opened" state and owned by a specific user using IBM Rational ClearQuest APIs?
You need to get an instant and a brief report on the Opened state defects owned by a specific ClearQuest user without logging into IBM Rational ClearQuest Client.
The following Perl Script uses the ClearQuest API and can be run on Microsoft Windows.
Note: The ClearQuest Native Client must be installed on this machine.
This script iterates through all the ClearQuest Defects to find all the Opened state defects which are owned by a specific ClearQuest user. This script will print Record ID, Owner of the Record and Owner's Email to the command prompt.
- Navigate to the location where CQperl.exe is installed.
By default: C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearQuest\CQperl.exe
- Save the following Perl script text to notepad and save with a .pl extension.

"Lovely indian man"
Today I had a lovely indian man talk to me. His original plan was to ask if the store would like to buy his costume jewlery but he ended up blessing me. He told me he felt a stong energy from me and asked if he may touch my arm. He gently held my rist in his hands and closed his eyes. When he opened them they seemed wider and brighter. He said I had a great and strong positivity and that I was blessed by the Lord. None of this frightened me as for I felt great peace as he spoke to me. He said that what I want will come to me and in time and that someday he hopes and feels I will own a business myself and I will receive what I wish for
He was a really sweet older man and he seemed so at peace and so sure that I was a gift. Definitely made my day today. Right after he left I prayed for him and his family to have peace and safety
I love having those kinds of calming peaceful moments. So cool Codi!
That's so cool! that would totally make my day :)
Sounds really interesting!! Would love to hear if his predictions come true!! I hope they do!
I hope so too

Amateur Zoologists Share Which Animal They Think Evolution Screwed Over The Hardest.
One of my favourites is the recurrent laryngeal nerve: In most mammals, this already is a pretty poor situation.
The nerve, instead of travelling directly from the brain to the larynx, it typically travels down the neck, around the aortic arch in the heart, then up to the larynx. In humans, this makes it ~5x longer than the ideal route. In giraffes, it extends the nerve to nearly 4.5 meters (~15 ft).
In addition to that, the distance between their feet and their brains, they have built in lag (about 100ms), meaning they need their spinal muscles to manage to process of finding footfall, rather than thinking about it.
Giraffes and nerves are kinda weird, circulation is a whole other level of messwittery. Firstly, they need to get blood to their brains, as a result, their hearts are huge. Consequently, their blood pressure is extremely high, the highest of any animal and their heart rate rests at about 170bpm. This is fine for getting blood up to the brain, but is problematic for the lower body.
In order to prevent turning into a whirling dervish of blood spewing madness every time they get a leg injury, and to prevent blood simply pooling in their legs, they've adapted extremely tight skin on their legs, and a series of one way valves to keep blood running in the right direction.
So that's not so bad, right? I mean, it's weird, but it's to be expected.
Problems start when it has to drink; when a giraffe lowers itself down to drink, it has to contend with the blood now rushing towards its head. Without compensation, it would die as soon as its head got below a certain threshold.
Firstly, when a giraffe bends its head down, valves in its neck shut down, preventing excessive blood flow to the brain. For the extra load from blood re-entering the brain, they need to distribute it in a spongy network of blood vessels. As they stand again, they use this system to maintain a steady blood pressure in their brain as they stand again. I suppose the upshot of this, is that throughout history, genetically weak giraffes have died in absolutely hilarious ways.
That's all great, but it's nothing on my favourite evolutionary arms race (barring ducks).
The Acacia tree vs giraffes:
The first line of defense for an acacia tree is the fact that it's covered in huge spines.
Giraffes get around this with their massive prehensile tongues, which they can use to avoid spines and still strip leaves.
The next line of defense for the acacia is tannin. Tannin tastes terrible (it's also toxic, and can kill other herbivores), when a tree senses it is under attack, it ramps up production of tannin in order to make it less attractive to eat.
The simple solution to this for the giraffes is just to rotate trees.
Now multiple trees are at risk, the acacia plays its next trick: it communicates with other trees in its vicinity by releasing chemicals into the air (fun fact, the lovely smell of fresh cut grass is also a distress marker). As the trees pick up these chemical markers they all ramp up production of tannin until the threat is gone.
It's at a point where giraffes now need to stalk acacia trees, approaching them only from downwind to avoid the trees that have been alerted.
The acacia has one more trick up its sleeve: Some species have developed heavily modified spines which house aggressive ants. The acacia have developed a symbiotic relationship, feeding the ants on nectar and housing them, in return the ants aggressively defend the tree.
As for the other stuff I can't fit in here: some of you may recall a terrifying image of a leatherback turtle's throat (actually just fleshy appendages - they eat jellyfish). Anyway, long story short: giraffes have them too. They've also got extremely strong esophagus muscles to facilitate regurgitation of food and you can make hallucinogenic drugs out of them.

About Bruce DennyBruce Denny is passionate about art as a means of communication. With his bronze sculptures, he aims to evoke ideas and emotions in us all. In his first exhibition, "Humanity", he explored individual human traits. By stripping back all the trappings of culture and class, his naked human forms lovingly modelled in clay and beautifully cast in bronze inspire us to think about ourselves and how we live our lives. "Interaction" is the theme of his second body of work. Here, he explores how we communicate with each other and with our environment, and reminds us that everything we do can have an effect on those around us.
Bruce is available for public and private commissioned projects, large and small

Biography / CV of Bruce DennyBorn in 1967 in Suffolk, Bruce Denny spent his youth making things out of anything he could lay his hands on. He was fascinated by both the way things worked and their form and structure. His school years exacerbated the struggle between art and science. In the end, Science was the victor, leading to an honours degree in Biology and Chemistry. He wanted to understand what life was all about from the molecular level up.
With this thorough grounding, he came to realise that the complexities of human physiology and anatomy play only a small role in the wider picture of life, and that social interaction was key to his further development. He left the solitude of the laboratory behind for a job in the City of London, where the realities of modern day life were played out to the full.
Whilst financially rewarding and socially engaging, Bruce felt that his creativity was being stifled. He turned to theatre and the arts to fill the void.
In his search, Bruce discovered sculpture. His love of the human form and function placed figurative works at the centre of his interest and he signed up for a course at Morley College to introduce him to the techniques of life modelling in clay.
Finally he had found something to bring all his skills and experiences together.
Sculpture requires a methodical approach and good spatial awareness, traits usually exhibited by a good scientist. At the same time the original ideas and concepts and the final piece of work require artistic creativity. I have found a medium in which I can express my ideas and desires utilising all my skills and experiences, says Bruce

When you spray, roll, or dab fragrance onto your wrist, do you then rub your wrists together? Well, according to fragrance developer and creator of Arquiste, Carlos Huber, you shouldn't. In fact, Huber has five rules for wearing fragrance that you probably never considered before. So if you wear fragrances and perfumes as regularly as you wear lipstick, read and take notes. Below are the five rules for wearing fragrance that you need to know now:
Carlos likes to wear his new Nanban Fragrance on a day-to-day basis as it makes him feel confident and remembered. Containing ingredients such as black pepper, Persian Saffron, coffee absolute, and Spanish leather, Nanban makes you stand out in a very unique way. For more information, go to www.arquiste.com.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The psychiatrist began sharing personal information to a vulnerable patient. The psychiatrist and patient stopped therapy for the purpose of engaging in a personal then sexual relationship. A few weeks elapsed before the 'outside' relationship began.
Would this patient still be considered a patient, despite the brief interval? Does the physician's responsibility to the patient continue during that relationship? What is the statue of limitations for breach of fiduciary duty in WA state?
Various licensing boards such as the APA and AMA would most likely hold this was a violation of their codes of ethics regarding dating a current or former patient. Most licensing boards prescribe a waiting period before a practitioner should date a former patient, such as 2 years after the termination of the professional relationship.
The standard of care depends on the specific community and must be addressed by a psychiatrist. It is most likely a breach of the fiduciary duty because it can be argued that the psychiatrist may be taking advantage of the vulnerability of the former patient because the psychiatrist had a disparate professional relationship with the former patient.Ask a similar question
(1) Beware of advice from out of state attorneys. (2) I used to do litigation for the WA Medical Disciplinary Board. (3) The basic rule is no sexual contact with a patient. (4) The Board would probably find the conduct you describe as a violation of the ethical code for physicians. (5) The patient should contact a PI attorney to evaluate the situation.

Real Irish Weddings: Love island for Laura and Micheál who met on Inis Mór
Laura and Micheál met on Inis Mór
About six years ago, Latvian native Laura was looking for a new adventure, when she made the move to Inis Mór off the Galway coastline.
She certainly found more than an adventure when she met Micheál there. An island native, Micheál wooed Laura with dinner in a local hotel before showing off his dancing skills over a few drinks in Joe Watty's bar.
Several years later, while holidaying in Dubai, Micheál popped the question as the pair took a walk on the beach beneath the Burj al Arab.
"I was so shocked when Micheál was on his knee in front of me with the ring that I actually went down on my two knees too!" says Laura.
The pair had a Catholic ceremony in Barna, which was officiated by their friend, Father Ciaran Blake, before celebrating their marriage at the G Hotel.
"The second we walked into the G Hotel we knew it was the place for us. It was intimate, cool, and we had never been to a wedding in a place like it, so it felt unique," says Laura.
The couple decided on a lavender colour scheme for their big day - a perfect complement to the G Hotel's luxurious interiors. The bride found her dress in My Fair Lady boutique in Tullamore, and came across her bridesmaids dresses in a boutique in Dublin's St Stephen's Green Shopping Centre.
After all the preparations for their big day, Laura and Micheál jetted off to Dubai for two weeks to enjoy their honeymoon and relax.

The Executive Magistrate of the United States is the highest official of the United States Government. He is comparable to a Prime Minister in most systems, in that he is elected by the congress (legislature), and usually of the largest party in the congress. He is unlike most prime ministers, however, in that he is elected to a four-year term and limited to only one. Additionally, he can not be recalled simply by losing the confidence of the Congress.
It is not uncommon for coalitions of several parties to nominate an Executive Magistrate from parties which are not necessarily dominant in the coalition. This usually happens when one coalition is clearly running together for re-election, such as the New Deal coalition, which governed from 1933 to 1949 and was led at different time from personages from three different parties.

Last year ended with an unforgivable brain-cramp mistake. User fees were indeed implemented in Saskatchewan three years after the introduction of medicare in 1962 – but by the Liberal government of Ross Thatcher, not by the CCF. The CCF paid for medicare, in part, with premiums but not user fees. Those fees were subsequently abolished by an NDP government, never to return to Saskatchewan nor to appear anywhere else in Canada. And, by the way, an admirer of former Saskatchewan premier T.C. Douglas wrote to say that the philatelic service had indeed issued a stamp honouring him, in contrast to what was written here. Good on Canada Post.
Apologies, too, to the Harper government. In 2008, its platform promised to develop a "North American-wide cap-and-trade system." It never pledged to implement a Canada-only system for greenhouse-gas emissions, and thus wasn't as hypocritical as was suggested in deriding the NDP's commitment to implement one.
Speaking of the Harper Conservatives, it was said here that, last summer, the Prime Minister would shake up his cabinet. Wrong. He left things intact in 2012. We'll see if he plays with a pat hand in 2013.
Last June, these words appeared: "Canada is about to be spurned in its efforts to join the emerging trade bloc, the Trans-Pacific Partnership." These words were spectacularly wrong. Canada did join the TPP talks, albeit belatedly and largely because the United States wanted Canada present (to get some things out of this country) and steamrollered the opposition of New Zealand and Australia. Now that Canada's in the TPP, how does it also find the resources and commitment to negotiate deals with India, South Korea and Thailand while considering China's grand offer to negotiate a free-trade deal?
A column about the federal budget in March, written as these things are in the budget lockup, was wrong in saying the "Conservatives essentially left the entire structure of the government intact," evidence of a tendency of conservatives in North America to talk more about reducing the size of government than doing it. In fact, the Harper government is cutting $4-billion to $5-billion in Ottawa's own spending, eliminating programs, reducing others and ending the jobs of thousands of civil servants. These cuts are dressed up in Harperspeak as "administrative efficiencies," whereas they're very real reductions in programs and jobs.
Shawn Atleo, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, wasn't "seriously challenged" at his organization's convention in July, as prophesied here. He won re-election easily.
The erroneous prediction about Mr. Atleo's future came some months after another goof: that Bob Rae was so obviously the best qualified candidate to become the federal Liberal leader that "frankly, there is no one else. If there were, Mr. Rae could leave." Well, there wasn't and there isn't. Yet, Mr. Rae still announced he wouldn't seek the leadership. The next sentence compounded the error: "Liberals can dream of Justin Trudeau, except that he has ruled out a leadership bid." That's what Mr. Trudeau said, but obviously circumstances changed. So did his mind.
A column in February drew attention to the munificence of Alberta government spending, propped up by a staggering $15.9-billion in non-renewable energy revenues. A few weeks ago, the provincial treasurer warned of tough times ahead and pushed back his target for a balanced budget because non-renewable energy revenues were weak. How things change within a year, even for the country's wealthiest province.
When will Alberta's political culture realize that the province needs a sales tax, which provides much steadier revenue to finance its expensive public services and would allow it to put much more of its non-renewable resources into the Heritage Fund? Answer to this rhetorical question: not any time soon.
A column in June waxed eloquent about New Brunswick's plan, negotiated with provincial unions, to eliminate fixed indexing and bring about other changes to make it sustainable. On reflection, those changes likely didn't go far enough, or at least don't provide the right template for other public institutions facing obligations they can't meet without higher contribution rates from employees.
Onward, to 2013. Happy New Year.Report Typo/Error

'Tis the season to be wed.
Everyone, it seems, is going to weddings this summer. I have been to two, organized my own, and had to send regrets to a fourth. Multiple wedding gifts put a strain on the ol' savings, and these days people often marry after having established a household, so the significance of wedding presents is not what it used to be.
At the same time, it is nice to leave a token of support and thanks with the happy couple. A special bottle of wine will always be appreciated, and doesn't have to leave you counting pennies — er, nickels — come winter.
What's a little harder to decide is what kind of wine. The bride likes red, the groom, white. Bubbly seems like an obvious choice, and local bubbly is second-to-none, it's true. But maybe neither partner imbibes much.
It would be nice to give something a little offbeat. Something that few people buy for themselves but that is enjoyed by most. Something that can be savoured over many sittings. Why not, then, tuck a sleek little bottle of dessert wine into a gift bag, add a cute card with a nice message, and call it a day?
Dessert wine will last about a week in the fridge unless, like port or sherry, it has been fortified with alcohol — in which case it will last a month in a cool, dry cupboard. Fortified wines don't go bad quickly because of their high alcohol content, which acts as a preservative.
And while sweet wine may seem less sophisticated than dry, keep in mind that some of the world's most beloved wines — Sauternes, Tokaj and Vin Santo — are sweet. Matched with the proper levels of acidity, the sensation of sweetness becomes soft and refreshing.
Pleasant and long-lasting, any of the dessert wines mentioned above would make classy wedding gifts. To satisfy the happy locavore couple, though, Nova Scotia vintners are also making high-quality dessert wines in all flavours and styles.
Icewine is the top-tier dessert wine option, classic to Nova Scotia and sought worldwide. Because our long, cool growing season slowly ripens grapes without forfeiting their acidity, the icewine's sweet is matched by sour, keeping it lighter than you'd think.
Many wineries make icewine, most from Vidal Blanc grapes. A 375-ml bottle will run you $30 to $55, depending on the season, the grapes and the winemaking method.
Another high-end but rare dessert wine choice is Blomidon Estate Winery's Vin de Paille — named for the French method of partially drying grapes to concentrate them by packing them in straw. This delicious, caramel-like Chardonnay-based wine is $35 at the winery and NSLCs, and likely won't last much longer on the shelves.
A local favourite, Domaine de Grand Pré's Pomme d'Or is $22.50 at the winery, NSLCs and Bishop's Cellar. Pomme d'Or is made with local apples, again with nice sweet-and-sour character. Grand Pré also makes an award-winning cream liqueur version — Crème de Pomme d'Or.
Devonian Coast Wineries produces the oh-so-Canadian Maple Wine ($20 at the winery and NSLCs), a lovely smoky treat that finds the kid in any grown-up (like my new husband).
If Maple Wine isn't perfect for a honeymoon breakfast, Planters Ridge recently released a Sparkling Mead ($15 at the winery) that, while officially a white wine (it doesn't have enough residual sugar to be labelled dessert wine), comes in a petite bottle, a sweet and curious gift. The wine's aromas reflect the clover honey from which it is made while in the mouth it's clean and crisp. With its sparkles and medium sweetness, it's a fabulous brunch cocktail.
A very pretty dessert wine, just released by Annapolis Highland Vineyards, Mille Fleurs ($15 at the winery and NSLCs) is a grape blend that falls just on the dessert side of sweet. The delicate pink tinge is a trick — this wine has voluptuous body but is still refreshing, the mark of a good sweet wine. Nice with blue cheese or fresh fruit and whipped cream.
For the remainder of wedding season, avoid those awkward, roundabout conversations intended to find out whether your friends prefer cotton or fleece sheets, or whether they need sheets in the first place. (They probably don't.) Stroll instead into a farmers market and pick out a light little bottle of dessert wine. Pair with appropriate card — go for cheese.
