text: Steve Bowman, OutdoorChannel.com California's Big Valley In land of fruit and nuts, Reynolds' crew crazy nuts about ducks - Duck Trek 2011 In land of fruit and nuts, Reynolds' crew crazy nuts about ducks - Duck Trek 2011 MODESTO, Calif. -- The three mallards were just teasing. At least that's the only explanation for their behavior. They were giving Mike Reynolds fits. His cheeks were blown out in bubbles on each side of his round face and his forehead was getting redder as he put monumental effort into blowing the right series of notes to entice these feathered fiends out of the air.Those particular three ducks would have nothing of it. They made one full slow circle in the early light of dawn, then a slightly wider pass, with one drake slightly craning his neck toward the spread of decoys below before all three sauntered away.Reynolds was beside himself. The Modesto, Calif., professional angler, who by his own admission fishes professionally so he can duck hunt, gets angry when the music from his duck call goes unnoticed."They've been here before,'' Reynolds said dejectedly. It was the third day of California's waterfowl season and after two banner days of toppling mallards from the air; Reynolds was feeling the first taste of defeat in a season that will likely consume his life for the next 100-plus days. If California is known as "the land of fruits and nuts" count Reynolds and his "crew" as part of the nut section, all crazy nuts about duck hunting.….When I was young I hardly ever missed an episode of "The Big Valley." It had two great things going for it: It was a western (every kid in the '60s wanted to be a cowboy) and it had Audra Barkley (played by Linda Evans) who was totally hot."It didn't take much motivation to tune in to hot cowgirls. Not much has changed in 40 years. If you were a fan of "The Big Valley," (if you have no idea what that is Google it) then you will remember opening scenes that showed wide sweeping vistas of a valley that was actually Central Valley in California.That is actually the location of this Duck Trek stop. Although "this location" isn't exactly a specific spot: California's Central Valley is a large, flat valley that dominates the central portion of California. It stretches approximately 450 miles from northwest to southeast inland and parallel to the Pacific Ocean coast. Its northern half is referred to as the Sacramento Valley and its southern half as San Joaquin Valley. All-in-all it's roughly the size of West Virginia. We were somewhere in the northern half of the San Joaquin Valley, on Modesto Reservoir, a 3,800-acre water supply lake. You won't read about it in travel brochures or Ducks Unlimited Magazine. It's best described as a wayward spot on the map between areas much better known for their duck hunting.To the north is the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta or California Delta where literally millions of waterfowl pass through or winter during the course of the year. Those that leave make their way south to the Central Valley Grassland, where there are some of the most fertile, pristine wintering grounds in North America.Smack in the middle of those two very large dots on the map is a speck called "Modesto Reservoir." It's a roadside attraction or better put, a roadside bar for mallards, pintails, teal and widgeons traveling from one big spot on the map to the other."They mostly come here to drink,'' Reynolds said. "We've called in ducks, had them land and immediately they start drinking. There isn't any food for them really, they just drink and loaf."Ducks do live here though, just not in great numbers. During the spring and summer a healthy population of mallards and other puddle ducks utilize Modesto Reservoir and the vast agricultural land surrounding it with a sprinkling of pothole-like ponds as home."The high dollar hunting places are at the Butte (Butte Sink) and the Delta,'' Reynolds said. "But this is what I like. It's close to home. Affordable."Then duck season opens and for the first few days it's a duck hunter's dream that lasts as long as an afternoon nap, but only for the few hunters lucky enough on the draw.Modesto Reservoir is one of three bodies of water that is fed by the California State Water Project. California is one of those states where water is king and its ebb and flow within the state is part engineering marvel, part environmental savior and wholly a savior for a group of duck hunters.The state doesn't get the rainfall that many of the nation's leading states in waterfowling receive. In the Modesto region it's somewhere between 12 and 20 inches a year, but little of it provides any significant runoff. Still the Delta region within The Big Valley is key to migrating waterfowl making their way from Saskatchewan to the fertile ground of the valley.A series of reservoirs captures mainly runoff from snowmelt and through a series of concrete canals distributes water throughout the thirsty state.In the case of Modesto Reservoir, it gets its water from Don Pedro Reservoir, the fifth largest body of water in California that distributes its water to three reservoirs like Modesto. The water feeds a thriving agricultural community and provides a needed stopover for migrating ducks.Hunters in these reservoirs put their names into a hat each year in hopes of drawing one of 25 spots on Modesto Reservoir. Reynolds and his "crew" like many groups put in individually for a chance to get the choice spots.To date, it's worked well. His group has consistently gained a spot on the lake for the last 30 years. Today, you could look at a satellite image of the lake and see floating blinds dotted around. They have to be more than 300 yards apart, all of them have big spreads of decoys, a spot to park the boat in cover and some of them sport finer things like stoves to cook in.It's like they have their very own duck club for a season, then they have to go through the drawing process again. But plenty of people do it over and over, just for the chance to get in on the shooting.The ducks, though, have to be migrating for them to have the type hunts dreams are made of or at least be there on opening weekend.Reynolds was semi-high when the Duck Trek joined up with him after two days of the state's season. The opening day had produced 40 ducks in the bag, the next 26, almost all of them greenhead mallards.Reynolds is old school and lives by the motto: "If it ain't got a greenhead, it ain't a duck."Because of the trend from those two days, Reynolds was feeling good, but cautious."I'm afraid we've shot every last one of them,'' he said. "I just don't think it will last three days."Not that it mattered to him in the long run. The California season is 107 days long, and in 2010 he hunted every day of that season, plus the two days of youth season. He still had 105 days to go and fully intends on hitting that mark again."I go every day,'' he said. "It's not good or great every day. But when everyone else thinks it's done and we get a good push, I'm the one that is there. I want to be there. I don't mind being early, I just can't stand to be late."So regardless of two good days, and the promise of a drop off, Reynolds and his motley crew made up of a farmer (Bill Loretelli), a student (Garrett Adams) and a best friend (Andrew Bearden) who has hunted with him for the last 30 years, we were going.That was where the three teasing mallards came in. At daybreak as soon as they came into site and Reynolds began his pleading with his call, it was obvious the group of mallards had obviously been to this rodeo before. "That's the way it is," Reynolds said, "until we get some weather."Like duck hunters everywhere, the crew waited, sitting in a floating blind wishing for a change in the weather and watching clear skies for the hope of seeing a couple of specks of ducks materialize on the horizon.On a couple of occasions they did show up. The first was a quad of widgeons that Reynolds coaxed into range to Adams and Bearden, who quickly peeled out three of the four. The second was a quad of teal and another three were put on the water.At sporadic times, the trio of mallards would show back up to check out the commotion and drive Reynolds nuts once more. By mid-morning, he was able to coax one of the drakes from the group and Loretelli dropped him in the dekes. All in all, there were eight shots fired from the blind, with seven ducks on the water.The first thing an outsider noticed was that these California duck nuts could shoot and shoot well.But none of it was up to par for Reynolds. "I live to call these things,'' he said. "I don't care about shooting, I just want to break their necks in the air with my calls."The next day it was more of the same, two teal, three wood ducks and three mallards and a day that mostly consisted of clear skies with little duck movement."We're just waiting for Thanksgiving, that's when the ducks start pushing,'' Reynolds said.And in the land of fruits and nuts, these duck hunting nuts will be there practically every day scanning the skies and waiting for the next push. They don't mind being early; they just don't want to be late. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Serves 6
In restaurants, fish chowder is either superb or dreadful, mostly because some cooks have such a heavy hand with the flour and other thickeners, and the broth tastes pasty. At home, however, where you're making a manageable-sized pot, the broth should have just the right body and creaminess. Here you get a little smokiness from bacon.
|slices bacon, cut into small strips
|onion, finely chopped
|Salt and pepper, to taste
|tablespoon flour
|cups bottled clam broth
|cups water
|large Yukon Gold or other golden potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch pieces
|cup heavy cream
|pounds skinless, boneless white fish (cod, haddock, pollock, or cusk), cut into 1-inch pieces
1. In a soup pot over low heat, render the bacon until it is golden brown. With a slotted spoon transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan.
2. Add the onion, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
3. Slowly add the broth, stirring constantly, then the water. Bring to a boil, stirring, Add the potatoes and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat to medium-low, set the cover on askew, and simmer the potatoes for 10 minutes or until they are tender.
4. Add the cream and return the bacon to the pan. Heat the mixture until it is bubbling at the edges. Add the fish and press it into the liquid so it is submerged. Cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if you like. Serve with cornbread.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 70 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
I am a yoga practitioner and I love yoga. I am opening my own online shop, selling high-end yoga mat bags. My thinking is, "if you're going to be practicing yoga, you might as well look good doing it and have the right accessories to do so."
I am aiming to target primarily women (early 20's - late 40's) who love practicing yoga and who are willing to spend good money on their yoga clothes and yoga accessories. I want to target women (and men) who want their yoga mat bags to be an extension of themselves. If they practice daily, then their mat bag is always with them and thus, needs to look good.
I am looking for a logo to represent my online store - eYogaBags.com
I would like to have the logo incorporate a lotus blossom/flower and koi fish, but I'm open to all ideas. Here are a few things to think about:
1. I want the logo to inspire creativity, but nothing too off the wall.
2. I would like feminine colors, but nothing too pastel and/or prissy. I'd like something eye-catching, but nothing too neon.
3. The logo should be fun, nothing too corporate or serious looking.
4. The typeface should be clear, simple and fresh. I want my logo to represent a zen-like calm.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo. I would like a drawing versus a photo in my logo.
My site is http://www.eyogabags.com (it's partially up, if you want to go to it)
I would like to take the winning logo for http://www.eYogaBags.com and embed it into the same size header as http://www.HealthyChow.com (also my site). Please keep in mind that I will also then need a header designed for my site (it could be YOU!).
Thank you!

Fischhoff named AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow
Ilya Fischhoff, a postdoctoral research associate in Princeton's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, has received an AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship and will be working at the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Fischhoff is among 190 doctoral-level scientists and master's- and doctoral-level engineers who will spend a year working in federal agencies or congressional offices. The fellows learn about science policy while providing expertise to the government. Fischhoff will be part of the global climate change team within the USAID's Office of Environment and Science Policy. The fellowship begins Sept. 1 with a two-week orientation in Washington, D.C.
"With the new presidential administration emphasizing evidence-based policymaking and a call to service, we received a record number of applications for the 2009-10 fellowship year," said Cynthia Robinson, director of the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships. "This class of nearly 200 fellows, a jump of almost 20 percent, is the largest cohort in the program's 36-year history."
Fischhoff earned his Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology from Princeton in 2007. For his dissertation, he studied how plains zebras make movement decisions in Kenya. He is continuing his research on zebras as a member of the laboratory of Daniel Rubenstein, the Class of 1877 Professor of Zoology, chair of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and director of the Program in African Studies.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science is the world's largest general scientific society.

Detectives investigating the "sickening" murder of a man with learning difficulties who was stabbed in the heart by hooded attackers have released a CCTV clip of some of his last movements.
Dean Mayley, 24, was fatally knifed as he walked along Ruislip Road, Greenford, west London, at around 5.20pm last Friday.
Scotland Yard has released footage of him getting off an E9 bus just under an hour earlier in Ruislip Road East, and walking towards The Broadway.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Bonner said: "I hope this footage might help people to recall the events that led to Dean's tragic death.
"This was a vulnerable man who would have shown an unusual degree of trust in those who he came across and it is utterly sickening that he should have been set upon in this way.
"Those responsible are clearly dangerous and callous and it is critical that we track them down as soon as possible so that they can be held responsible for their appalling actions.
"These people are not worthy of protection and I would urge anyone with information to call police as soon as possible."
The group of three or four attackers were all black men who wore hooded tops.
Mr Mayley suffered from a development disorder which led to him having moderate learning difficulties and the mental age of a nine-year-old. It meant he rarely left home alone, except to visit relatives.
Mr Bonner said the attack seems to have been unprovoked and called his killers "vicious cowards".
Yesterday Mr Mayley's mother Donna said: ''I hope there is somebody, somewhere, who knows something.
"He was a creature of habit - he knew how to get the bus and took exactly the same route every time.
''But something went wrong that day and he didn't get off at the usual stop.
''He was very friendly and I'm sure all the shopkeepers in Greenford knew who he was. I just hope someone can help us because we will never get closure without knowing what happened.''
Anyone with information can call police on 020 8358 0200 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Your blog posts look so much more visually appealing if the video you place within them is in the centre of the page.
An easy way to center your video is to click the video and then click the centre icon in the kitchen sink above your paragraph box. Sometimes this system doesn't work though (heavens knows why!) and you view your post in the editor with a video in the centre, but when you publish it slides over to the left side.
To prevent this you can always add center tags in your html editor. Do this by clicking the tab next to 'visual', which says 'html', then insert <center> at the beginning of your image or video and </center> at the end of the image or video.
Watch the video below to see what I mean.

Feedback Loop
"Political communication is so important-it determines what people believe, and if we don't communicate truth, people will believe a lie." [mom, Suzie Hofert, class of 2010]
"Your mentorship, example, and compassion for Emily has truly been a highlight of our entire family's "Cedarville Experience," and we are grateful....It was a blessing to know of her love and appreciation for those who were teaching and leading her at such an important stage of life." [Dave and Cindy Kraft, parents of Emily, 2009]
"Fundamentals of Speech changed my life...literally. After giving my first two speeches, my professor suggested that I set up a meeting with her. Her exact words were, "Come see me. I'll change your life." I did and she did. She convinced me that I had a gift for public speaking and I am now working full-time in the field of Public Relations, and I love what I do for a living." [Diane Bielo]
"My closest and best friends that I have made at Cedarville are communication majors." [Katie Bliss, 2010]
"The best thing about Communication Studies at CU is the vast range of the program along with the atmosphere the professors produce inside and outside of the classroom." [Sarah Murphy, 2010]
"This course has not only stimulated thought within the context of this classroom and associated assignments, but in the broader spectrum of life. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate this professor's care, concern, and devotion to this subject matter as well as the students." [student evaluation, 2008]
02 graduate—"Since graduating in '02 I've entered a career in publishing and started my Master's degree in public communication at. . . Since starting, I've been very pleased with how well equipped I am, both as a student and a professional, as a result of my studies at Cedarville. . . . .I'm in my fourth class of my program and have found how well equipped I am in comparison to my classmates, many of whom also have Communications undergraduate degrees. . . . Additionally, my fondest memories of Cedarville include the biblical foundation woven into coursework, and the one-on-one attention freely given by faculty members."
05 graduate—"I have actually felt really well prepared all across the board for what is expected of me at Wake Forest. I think that reflects well on the program at Cedarville. The Dept. at Wake is requiring me to be a TA in Public Speaking and doa rhetoric and empirical class. My course work at Cedarville gave me experience with all those things."
'75 graduate and prestigious Bronze Quill Award winner—"I thought that you might like to know that nearly everything I know about the communication business can be traced back to those introductory courses that you taught. …you made it possible for me to find my role in life."
05 graduate—"When I interviewed for my position, the people that I sat and talked with knew that I was different, and I told them that I came from a University where my professors took pride in my intellectual and spiritual growth. . . . is by no means a "spiritual" company, but I can honestly say that I feel well equipped to enter this business world with my faith strong and intact."
98 graduate-- "Today I was asked by a company to take a lengthy article and consolidate it into 100 words. I found myself using the Toulmin model to determine what was most important to include and what was of lesser importance that I could exclude. I, of course, thought of you and wanted to tell you (before the moment escaped!) to say thank you for all you do and all you did to make my education at Cedarville so great."
"I have learned to develop critical thinking skills. I have improved in speaking my idea and not being so self-conscious up front." [student evaluation, 1997]
"I love the fact that communication professors care so much about their students. I know that I can go to my professors no only with questions about classes, but also with thoughts about life- my problems and good news. I feel like they listen and really care." [Rachel York, 2010]
"What we learned in this class is what I've been trying to learn for years." [student evaluation, 1997]
"Your fresh perspective on the field of communications and life in general has challenged me to think outside the box.... Words truly cannot describe my appreciation and gratitude for Cedarville and dedicated professors like you." [Lindsay Neal, 2010]
"I would not be the attorney I am without you and your interest in my life. I am a prosecutor now and this past year I successfully prosecuted four homicide cases. There is not way I could do this work without the progress I made while under your leadership." [Dennis Johnson,]
"I count professors like you as what makes Cedarville such a great place to study. That you for seriously modeling what it means to be a Christian scholar!" [Leanna Baumer, 2010]
"I know that communication is a very important part of the business world. In light of that face, I have decided to change my minor to Communications." [Trevor Batt, @ 1995]
"I'm thankful for the Communications Department and the education I have through it....Being a communications major has affected my life in so many ways, and I see God using it not only to prepare me to do something for Him, but to also teach me about Him and direct my eyes more in His direction." [Derrick Green, 1996]
"As I watched and analyzed All the President's Men, I was repeatedly struck by how powerful and important it is for the press to exist and for this country to have the power of freedom of the press. What The Washington Post, Woodward and Bernstein did effectively changed our nation's history."

DivaVocals brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 100 Designs von 16 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are migrating this site to ZenCart. We need is to add some pizazz to our ZenCart template. The graphics are a LOT boring.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz **LOL**
Note to all designers: Please do not use any of the car images from the dev site slide show in your submissions. To avoid licensing issues, if you use car images in your submissions, please use images with a verifiable source where we can license the image (iStock Fotosearch, Dreamstime, etc) or you many use any of the images here: http://s134.photobucket.com/albums/…ow%20Pics/ with the exception of the following images:
Lastly: The client wanted me to convey to all the designers that he would like see submissions where the banner has less of a "boxy" feel to it.
K Dezines & Custom Rear Seat Delete
About the client:
This company specializes in rear seat delete kits and car audio design & installations. When they started out, their focus was Mustang Rear Seat Delete Kits, but they now have kits for other makes and models.
A rear seat delete kits is designed to allow you to remove your rear sear while keeping a clean, custom look. The kits are designed with removable doors, allowing access to the space created by removing the rear seat. These kits are constructed of either ½" or ¼" MDF board and then covered in your color choice of carpet. Kits can be made to fit specific needs upon special order.
They also offer stereo enclosures which fit the basic rear seat delete kits. The company has been in the stereo business since 1991. They make enclosures to fit 1 10" subwoofer and amplifier, 2 10" subwoofers, or 2 12" subwoofers.
About this project:
Here is the current web site: http://www.customrearseatdelete.com/
We are migrating this site to ZenCart. Here is the development site: http://clients.overthehillweb.com/kdezines/
We have generally set up the placement of Zen-Cart site elements we want included and the sideboxes we will be using. What we need is to add some pizazz to our ZenCart template's graphics with emphasis on the following areas:
- The site banner
- Top & bottom menu background
- Full set of Zen-Cart buttons (we will be using the Captcha mod so the "Re-Draw" button also needs to be included.)
- Sidebox & sidebox headers
- Section headers (ie: Featured Products)
- Overall site background (currently the plain black area)
- Icons to replace the "Home", "Log In/Log Off", "My Account", "Shopping Cart", & "Check Out" text links on top menu. (Please note: "My Account" will not appear until you log in, "Shopping Cart" & "Check Out" links do not appear until you add something to the cart)
- Tweaks to the overall color scheme as needed to support the new graphicsThis is a primarily GRAPHIC DESIGN project.. I DO NOT NEED ZEN CART CODING!!! The graphic elements I have outlined above are enough to achieve my goals. I wanted to be clear that this is for a ZenCart site for those who are familiar with ZenCart's template structure..
Sites in a similar industry:
- http://www.stangmods.com
- http://www.blowbyracing.com
- http://www.50resto.com
- http://www.americanmuscle.com
- http://www.ssinserts.com
- http://www.dallasmustang.com These sites are very nice. However, I would very much like to see something that is much hipper, cleaner (some of these sites are a little too cluttered looking IMO), and a more original looking.. So what I need is a boost to our template..
Feel free to ask questions..
Logo elements can be found here: http://clients.overthehillweb.com/k…EZINES.tif
Current version of template (with current overrides) can be found here: http://clients.overthehillweb.com/k…cludes.zip
- Graphics must be professional, clean and free of clutter.
- NOT plain (i.e. flat boxes w/borders and flat headers)
- Banner must incorporate the companies logo and have too much of a "boxy" look
- Would like a design a little on the funky/hip side to bring out the cool factor in the logo. (Nothing too much over the top.. Needs to still maintain a clean, professional look)
- Must be a unique design which relates to the actual business. It is a car related business, but the graphics should reflect that this is a custom audio and interior resto site. (Please look at the current site to get a sense of what they sell)
- ITo avoid licensing issues, i you use car images in your submissions, please use the images from the Photobucket link provided
- Design should be as "Un-Zen Classic" as possible (we are not looking for an unimaginative re-hash of the "Classic" Zen default template)
- Accepted File Formats: PSD (layers intact) / CSS / or the Zen Cart Template
- I DO NOT NEED ZEN CART CODING!!! The graphic elements I have outlined above are enough to achieve my goals.
- NO unimaginative re-hashes of the "Classic" Zen-Cart default template
- No checkerboards or racing graphics (This is NOT a racing business)
- NO HACKED ZEN-CART CODE! (Think hacked as in Template Monster type of hacks)

Random Photos Part One
Five parts today.
Hello Michelle Dockery.
Five parts today.
Hello Michelle Dockery.
Posted by ent lawyer at 12:01 PM
Labels: Maria Sharapova, Nick Cannon, Olivia Wilde, Orlando Bloom, Sandra Bullock, Taylor Swift
Oh, Lady Mary, crack a smile why don't you. She looks good. I'm totally into Edith though. I'm wishing she would just ditch those geezers at Downton and go get a bachelorette pad in London. Can't believe her beau wants to become a German for a piece of Edith ass. Now that's chivalry ... or lunacy.
I have so done that with kiddos in the airport, just add two more about the same age and that was us!
Is that a Kevin Bacon Bacon? I am so old.
Did Taylor dye her hair gray?
I love Lady Mary but that bra is not helping her.
Do you think the original Enty would have tried to date Sosie Bacon just because?
@Marieee Nah, it's always looked that way. Really gross choice of blonde.
Ms. Bacon is kinda fug but her parents especially Kevin aren't much either.
I was thinking the same exact thing about the bra... or lack thereof.
Olivia looks gorgeous. Orlando's son looks like he's holding on for dear life. Maybe he & Miranda taught him how..'...and if you don't hang on you'll go (drops on floor) big boom!!!'
Taylor's brother is kind of hot...
Lady Mary looks like she stepped offa Star Trek episode.
I was thinking Lady Mary got some bolt ons
I know... but I think he is probably Taylor's one true love. That is probably why she is doing all that weird dating dance. It is a cover story...
And just so's we are clear, I do believe I would hit that boy.
Sorry to all who are offended by my off the top of my head theory about Taylor and her brother...
Yay the Australian Open is soon! Go Rafa!
Come on! Sosie is cute, almost charming in an unvarnished way. I appreciate a bit of normal from an Hweird spawn...
And yes, I think Sosie is fine. But who said Kyra is funny looking? What?
I love the fit on her, but the awful mustard color and the startrek 20s feel is just so wrong. She needs softer and sweeter profiles...
Lady Mary's rack needs something but she's classing up the "I have to pee" photo pose a bit. Mustard is an awful color - always.
Once upon a time, Taylor Swift fucked John Mayer. We should never let her forget that.
Sosie is cute. She's in college I believe. At least her parents kept the kids out of the spotlight and they've had a fairly normal life.
Isn't Taylor 5-10 or 5-11? That would make her brother, what, 8 foot tall?
That's Taylor Swift? I thought it was Martha Stewart!
Sosie is lovely. Good job Kevin and Kyra!
I guess the Bacon kid only takes after her dad. His look does not work as well on a woman.
Sosie Bacon is adorable.
Who the fuck is lady mary?
Lady Mary is Michelle Dockery. She stars in Downton Abbey.
I freakin love Orlando's LV tote - it's gorgeous - my best Gay would cut that boy up for that bag. My key, lipgloss and iPad would get lost in it, tho it would fit my daily box of wine.
I just came on here to ask who Michelle Dockery is. Thanks ninotchka! Now, why does she get so much attention on this site? I never hear about her anywhere else.
Well done you've found the first Brit who doesn't watch downton abbey lol:)
Yes @Kimba! That Yayoi Kusama LV Neverfull is fab! I noticed it right away … before the kid & the celeb. That says a lot about me right there.
Sosie looks like a totally normal young lady. Nice to see someone dressed appropriate for her age.
Michelle Dockery looks amazing, as always. I have a Chaise in the same colour as the top of her dress - it's a gorgeous colour (reminds me of sunset).
Nick Cannon is writing "call me for fun times - 555-xxxx".
Orlando reminds me a bit of a young Hugh Grant - he's a bit fuddy-duddy for his age.
Olivia seems more casual and happy now she's with Jason - when she was married to her former husband, she always seemed dressed-up and quite stiff.
Sandra Bullock is the eiptome of cool. She even manages to make biker boots that might look a bit try-hard on some women, look fantastic. Little Louis is a very lucky kid!
@ninotchka - According to that site which spills celebs' conquests, Taylor likes kissing and nothing else!
i'm starting to want to see the end of all things downton abbey.
I think Maria and Taylor should have some sort of height battle.
Possibly a competition where they have to reach things on high shelves whilst wearing wide brimmed hats...
@Stepforded, what site is that exactly? You got me curious!
I haven't noticed until now, but it has been very nice not hearing about Miranda Kerr everyday like we used to.

Sandra would be proud....
A friend of mine decided we needed to have a "family" dinner this past week. We used to have them all the time in college, but then we got real jobs and stopped living in the same buildings. You would think it would not be that tough for us to do more of these dinner since I live a total of 1.5 miles away, but alas our busy schedules often complicate things. The new goal if for us to have a "family" dinner once a month rotating who hosts. As I am the baker of the group I know I needed to bring something. The host was making a vanilla cake which I did not want to overshadow so I decided I would go with a brownie. Now there are many, many brownie recipes out there and I have tried many of them. I have come to the realization that my favorite brownie is not actually a recipe I have tried of even one a friend has served, but it is Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix. When it comes to brownies I strongly believe these are the best so I use then in any brownie recipe I make. If you have your favorite recipe or mix I recommend you use it in this recipe.
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
adapted from Martha Stewart
Brownie Batter:
Your favorite brownie recipe or mix (I used Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix)
Peanut Butter Filling:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a buttered 8-inch square baking pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing 2 inches to hang over sides. Butter lining (excluding overhang); set pan aside.
Make brownie batter according to recipe or mix directions.
Make filling: Stir together butter, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
Pour one-third of brownie batter into prepared pan, and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Place dollops of filling (about 1 tablespoon each) about 1 inch apart on top of batter. Drizzle remaining brownie batter on top, and gently spread to fill pan. Place dollops of remaining filling on top.
With a butter knife, gently swirl filling into batter, running knife lengthwise and crosswise through layers. Bake until a cake tester inserted into brownies (avoid center and edges) comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 45 minutes (the peanut butter may still be wet). Let cool slightly in pan, about 15minutes. Lift out brownies; let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

18.104.22.168 Time-scales of response
As mentioned earlier, the basis of the experiments discussed in the SAR is a transient increase of greenhouse gases throughout the integration. In the model integrations presented in this section, the CO2 concentration increases up to a certain value (e.g., a doubling of the CO2 concentration) and then remains constant for the remainder of the integration. Since this type of integration involves integrating the model for very long time periods (at least several centuries) only a few integrations have been performed using AOGCMs. Furthermore, no standard emission scenarios have been used for forcing these model runs and most have used idealised stabilisation values (2xCO2 or 3xCO2 or 4xCO2 for example). Again, in these integrations, the CO2 changes represent the radiative forcing changes of all the greenhouse gases. Results from the models of intermediate complexity are used to help understand the coupled model results, or in some cases, to explore areas where AOGCM integrations do not exist. Experiments where the coupled system is allowed time to reach equilibrium with the radiative forcing clearly show the response times of its various components.
Even after the radiative forcing becomes constant, the surface air temperature continues to increase for many centuries (Figure 9.19) as noted in Section 184.108.40.206. The rate of warming after stabilisation is relatively small (<0.3°C per century, Figure 9.19b); however, the total warming after the radiative forcing stabilises can be significant (more than 1°C) because the warming continues for a long time period (Figure 9.19b). From Figure 9.19, one notes that the rate of warming after stabilisation varies from model to model.
The slow rate of surface air temperature increase occurs as the heat anomaly slowly penetrates to depth in the ocean (Figure 9.23). The rate of penetration is dependent on the model's vertical mixing both resolved by the model's grid and by the sub-grid scale parametrizations. The effect of the oceanic mixing parametrizations on the coupled model response has been investigated using climate models of intermediate complexity (Figure 9.24): CLIMBER - Ganopolski et al. (2001); Bern 2.5_gm, Bern 2.5_hor - Stocker et al. (1992); Uvic - Fanning and Weaver (1996), Weaver et al. (1998), Wiebe and Weaver (2000); Bern_25, Bern_37 - Siegenthaler and Joos (1992), Joos et al. (1996). The effect on the response of the global mean surface air temperature, thermal expansion (see Chapter 11, Section 126.96.36.199 for a more complete discussion) and THC can be seen by comparing the results obtained from Stocker's (Bern 2.5) models and the Uvic models (Weaver and Wiebe, 1999). The sub-grid scale mixing para-metrizations vary in the AOGCMs, accounting for much of the difference in the rate of surface warming (as seen in Figure 9.19b).
The thermohaline circulation (THC) response is more complex than that of the surface air temperature in the stablisation integrations (compare Figure 9.19a with Figure 9.25, for example). Typically the THC weakens as the radiative forcing increases (Section 18.104.22.168). After the radiative forcing stabilises, the THC recovers to its control integration value. The initial weakening is caused by the warming of the mixed layer in the ocean and the increase in the freshwater flux in high latitudes. As the radiative forcing stablises, the tendency for the surface fluxes to weaken the THC is balanced by the changes in the ocean heat and water transports and vertical structure. It is found that the time-scale for this recovery varies from model to model (about a century to multi-centuries). Again it is likely that differences in the oceanic mixing are the cause for the differences in the recovery time.
The time rate of change in the radiative forcing also affects both the weakening and recovery of the THC (Figure 9.25). In the GFDL_R15_a model when the CO2 increased at a rate of 1%/yr to doubling, the THC continued to weaken for 70 years after the point at which the CO2 was held constant at the doubled value (year 70). In a second integration, the CO2 increased at a rate of 0.25%/yr to doubling. In this integration, the THC does not weaken after the doubling point (Manabe and Stouffer, 1994), indicating that the behaviour of the THC response is highly dependent on the rate that the radiative forcing changes (Figure 9.25).
Finally, it is important to note that the transient THC response (i.e., the weakening) is quite different from the equilibrium response of the THC (i.e., little change). This fact makes the interpretation of comparisons between palaeo-proxy data and coupled model results presented here difficult, since one needs to know the details of the changes in the radiative forcing and resolve relatively small time-scales in the proxy record.

While you may find somebody's beliefs to be arrogant or misguided, do not escalate the disagreement to a personal level. You are more than welcome to reply with your point of view (and to back yourself up with whatever data required), but personal defamation will not be tolerated. On that note...
2. All Humans Are Equal
- Regardless of race, religion or gender all visitors to Educated Earth must be treated with an equal level of respect. Discrimination, racism and sexism are all strictly prohibited anywhere in the EEarth Network. We are a proudly Humanist organization and strive for equality in all aspects of society.
3. Use Your Discretion
- Keep in mind that our websites serve a very wide audience, and are frequently used viewed via schools and other formal organizations. While we strongly encourage laid back, open ended, discussions please try to keep your dialogue safe for work and your language as family friendly as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to review these rules, it's great having you in the community.

Baking again
While dealing with the stress of my best friend having a baby, my cousin dying and my hubby graduating as Valedictorian, I haven't been making dinner, let alone bread.
I finally managed to pull a loaf together last week, much to my family's joy. It was just the loaf from lesson #1,(because that's the recipe I can remember, so I don't have to hunt down a recipe card) made with wheat flour instead of white. They complemented me so much, it made me remember why I bake.
Hopefully life will slow down and let me do more baking…
I finally tried to put a sourdough start together. It is day 5 and I have no bubbles, no growth, only a lump of wet flour. I think I'll start over tomorrow.
