Human babies are, relative to the size of their mothers, about twice as big as chimpanzee babies. Our evolutionary growth spurt might have forced mothers to give up living in the trees, changing human social dynamics forever.
Human babies are very different from most animal infants. When we're born, we're completely helpless, and it's several years before a child can realistically take care of itself. Very few animals are born in such a useless condition, and almost all become independent in a much shorter period of time. Our larger size and helpless condition places unique strains on human caregivers, and it may have sent our species along an evolutionary course that explains where we are today.
Boston University researcher Jeremy DeSilva compared the masses of newborn brains and bodies from a range of extinct hominids, including a 4.4 million-year-old Ardipithecus ramidus and the 3.2 million-year-old Australopithecus. These are very ancient descendants of modern humans, as they predate the emergence of the homo genus.
In the million years between Ardipithecus and Australopithecus, our evolutionary ancestors took a major step towards a more human-like appearance. Ardipithecus newborns were only about 2 or 3% the size of their mothers, similar to the relative size of chimpanzee newborns. Australopithecus babies, on the other hand, were 5 to 6% the size of their mothers, which is only slightly smaller than human infants are today.
Ardipithecus mothers were well-suited for taking their kids with them when they went climbing through the trees, as they had long hair all over their bodies that their small babies could cling onto. By the time of Australopithecus, mothers had lost this hair and the strong toes needed to climb properly, meaning they would have to either actively carry their infants or leave them on the ground - either way, an arboreal lifestyle suddenly seemed like a real challenge.
Indeed, now that their children wouldn't start walking until 6 or 7 months, as researchers have estimated would likely be the case, Australopithecus mothers needed to enlist others to help ease the burden of child-rearing, bringing in males and juveniles to help out. That's a huge change from more chimp-like primates, who are fiercely protective of their young.
This new arrangement probably didn't get fully woven into the social structure until the emergence of the Homo genus, but Australopithecus probably provided the foundations for this shift towards a more cooperative, group-oriented approach to child-rearing. That would have been a crucial first step towards the emergence of more complex social interactions, which could mean a bunch of big babies are responsible for all civilization. The implications of that are best left up to the individual reader.

Willow Bird blogger needs your help
Julie Ruble of Charlotte has a secret identity: She's a fanatical baker who blogs and posts very nice pictures of her decadent creations at willowbirdbaking.wordpress.com.
Now Julie has reached the upper level in a national food-blogger contest on www.foodbuzz.com. Bloggers have to participate in 10 challenges, with bloggers eliminated every week. It's sort of a "Survivor: Kitchen Island." Willow Bird is one of only 100 blogs who have made it to Round 4, and she really needs your votes.
To vote for Julie, you need to sign up (it's free) at www.foodbuzz.com, then visit Julie's entry at http://www.foodbuzz.com/project_food_blog/challenges/4/view/1283 and click "vote for this entry." This one is on how to make croissants, and the pictures are cute. Deadline to vote in this round is Oct. 14.
I don't think Julie can bake a croissant for everyone who votes, but I'm sure she'd still be very grateful.
Mizuna salad is a taste made for fall
You'll need about half the dressing for a nice-size bag of greens. You can cut the amounts in half, or refrigerate the rest of it and rewarm it for another night. One other tip: You can toast the pecans in a dry skillet, remove them and then use the skillet to make the finished dressing.
1 1/4 dried cranberries
1/2 cup tawny port
5 ounces pancetta or thick-sliced bacon, diced
2 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 (5.5-ounce) log of fresh goat cheese, crumbled (I used about 1/4 cup Bosky Acres fresh goat cheese)
1/2 pound mizuna and/or arugula or other crispy greens
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
Combine cranberries and port in a small pan. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat and let stand about 15 minutes, until the cranberries swell and soften a bit.
Saute the pancetta or bacon in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat until crisp on the outside, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel.
Add the shallot and garlic to the bacon fat in the skillet and cook about 2 minutes, just until onion starts to soften a little. Add the oil, vinegar and sugar and cook briefly, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the port and cranberries and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. (Can be made in advance. Rewarm before finishing the salad.)
Combine the salad greens and pecans. Rewarm dressing slightly if needed. Add just enough dressing and cranberries to the greens to moisten and toss well. Top with crumbled goat cheese.

The agreement on cooperation between Kiev Theological Academy and the Orthodox Theological Faculty of the University of Belgrade has been signed in Serbia
May 25, 2013 in Belgrade, the rector of the Kiev Theological Academy and Seminary, metropolitan Anthony of Boryspil and dean of the Orthodox Theological Faculty of the University of Belgrade, archpriest Predrag Puzovich signed an agreement on cooperation between the two theological schools. At the same time it was also signed an agreement on cooperation between the Orthodox Theological Faculty of the University of Belgrade and the St. Petersburg Theological Academy.
Before signing the contract were provided the word to the audience by the metropolitan Bachsky and Novi Sad Irenaeus (Bulovich), rector of the Kiev Theological Academy, metropolitan Anthony of Boryspil, rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, bishop Ambrose of Peterhof and the Dean of the Theological Faculty in Belgrade, Predrag Puzovich Fr. All of them mentioned the centuries-old historical ties between the theological schools of Serbia, Russia and Ukraine, and expressed the hope that the signed agreement will serve as an enrichment of theological studies in the Slavic countries.
The agreement provides for the exchange of students and teachers, exchange of experience in the field of modern educational methods, the development and implementation of joint research projects, conducting research symposia, conferences and seminars, exchange of publications, educational and scientific publications of mutual interest.
After signing the delegation visited the Kiev Theological Academy Russian cemetery in Belgrade, where are buried many members of the Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian expatriates living in Serbia.

Whether it's on our signs, our websites or on the lips of our congregations, every church has a mission statement or slogan that people rally around—something that articulates the vision of what we're all here to do.
At least, we think it does. But maybe it doesn't.
One of the challenges of church marketing (yes, I used the "m" word) is seeing our mission statements and slogans from an outside perspective, carefully considering what they communicate, intentionally or otherwise, to people who aren't us. We're all blind to our own blind spots, and without good council and perspective, the message we're sending may be the opposite of what we're attempting to.
This is what we see in so many of our church slogans. Here's one example:
"A church for people who aren't into church."
What does this actually communicate? Let's think about it from a couple of perspectives.
This slogan is birthed out of the seeker sensitive mindset of the 1980s and 1990s; the idea most churches using a slogan like this is trying to get across is that it's a place where non-Christians will feel safe to explore the Christian faith at their own pace. They're trying to say they're welcoming and inviting.
But what does a Christian attending a slightly more theologically conservative church take away from it? In my town, it's a safe bet a church using this type of slogan:
- Has topical "talks" instead of expositional preaching
- Has a low-level of commitment from congregation members
- Has a low-level of biblical literacy
- Has high attendance turnover
(I say this from experience, not to be a snarky, divisive jerkwad.)
At best, to this sort of believer, it comes across as trying to be "relevant" to the culture in the negative sense, and perhaps a few steps away from abandoning the gospel at worst. (This, again, is something I've seen from churches using this exact slogan.)
Just as importantly, what does this slogan say to its intended target—the non-Christian?
Not much.
The difficulty here is the idea of being a church for people who aren't into church is those people aren't into church. There is nothing you can do to be a church for them except to not be a church! It's like saying a banana is a banana for people who aren't into bananas—if someone doesn't like bananas, there's nothing you can do to make them want to eat one, even if you claim it's not like any other banana they've tried.
The fact is, there are only a few things that lead a non-Christian into a church service:
- The work of the Holy Spirit
- alleviating familial pressure (Easter and Christmas visits)
- baby dedications (sometimes)
Being a church for people who aren't into church isn't likely to do that.
Whether we like it or not, marketing is a part of ministry. We need to think carefully—from a theological and practical perspective—on what we're saying, considering whether or not the message we're conveying is true and clear and God-glorifying. If we don't, our attempts at marketing might be doing us more harm than good.

PROVIDENCE, RI — The Famous Narragansett Beer announces the seasonal release of its spring craft brew, Narragansett Bock. A silver medal winner at the 2011 World Beer Championship and the recipient of a 95 (World Class) rating from Beer Advocate, Bock will be available on draught and in 'Gansett's signature 16-ounce Tallboy cans.
Narragansett Bock is brewed in small batches at North American Brewery in Rochester, N.Y., under the supervision of award-winning brewmaster Sean Larkin from Trinity Brewhouse in Providence. The craft offering is brewed with light and dark Munich malts, Pilsner malt, Malted Wheat, and hopped with Northern Brewers and Hallertau hops.
A traditional Bavarian helles lager beer, Narragansett Bock is deeply flavorful with a rich golden color and full body, offering an extremely approachable craft experience. Despite its full body, the flavor is not overly malty and delivers an elegant spicy character from the hops that produces a balanced, smooth finish. Narragansett Bock is 6.5 percent Alcohol by Volume and 32 IBUs.
Narragansett Beer has been brewing craft beers for more than 100 years, introducing 'Gansett Bock on February 8, 1912, two months before Fenway Park opened its doors for the first time. One of New England's oldest craft beers today, Narragansett Bock quickly rose in popularity after its introduction thanks to the Bock Beer Festivals that were held on the brewery's grounds every spring.
The English translation of 'Bock' is literally 'ram,' and is the reason that the 'Gansett Bock Tallboy can features the animal, paying homage to German lore surrounding the beer's history. Many believe the brew's name originates from the abundance of billy goats that descended from the mountains in spring when the beer was brewed, while others claim that the term was used metaphorically to reference the strength of the beer.
Narragansett Bock is available for purchase throughout all of New England, southern and upstate New York, New Jersey, District of Columbia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Wisconsin. For further information on Narragansett Bock or to find a retailer near you, visit: www.narragansettbeer.com/products/bock.

It Just Never Ends
As a Chicago Police deputy superintendent, James Whigham battled the problem of people misusing police identification. Later, he came under investigation for contributing to the problem as U.S. marshal in Chicago, the Sun-Times has learned.
In 2001, when he was the marshal, Whigham passed out a special deputy marshal badge and a U.S. Marshals Service raid jacket to a bar buddy who wore the jacket while bouncing a check at a florist. Whigham's gifts put him under federal scrutiny for violating U.S. Marshals Service rules. He was not charged.
Gee, Townsend and Beavers. Who'd have thunk it? The most amusing part of the entire article seems to be that they call Townsend the "No. 2 police official in Chicago." Everyone who counts knows Townsend ran this department for years for a number of figurehead superintendents. Now we find out he was accepting bullshit "special deputy" badges from his former minions? It's amazing the Feds haven't indicted half the brass for all the favors and other crap that goes on.

Place Category: Parks and Playgrounds
Briarwood Playground is named for the Queens neighborhood in which it is located. Bounded by Union Turnpike, Parsons Boulevard, Hillside Avenue, and the Van Wyck Expressway, Briarwood was developed by Herbert A. O'Brien in 1905. O'Brien was the owner of the Briarwood Land Company, which got its name through the suggestion of O'Brien's wife, Adeline, who noted the woods and briars, prickly plants or shrubs such as the round leaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), that covered the area. The enterprise was initially unsuccessful, however, and the land was not fully developed until the 1920s, when the lots formerly owned by the company were sold at auction.
In 1947 the United Nations (UN), in conjunction with the New York Life Insurance Company, built Parkway village in Briarwood to serve as a home for the organization's employees. The development was converted into a co-op in 1983, and remains a diverse community, though few of its residents work for the UN. Today Briarwood contains single-family homes, as well as multi-story apartment buildings, built on the neighborhood's winding streets.
Before being named after the neighborhood of Briarwood, this site was known as Van Wyck Playground. Robert A. Van Wyck (1849-1918) was born in New York City and graduated from Columbia Law School in 1889. In 1897, Van Wyck became the first mayor of Greater New York after the consolidation of the five boroughs in 1898. During his term in office, Van Wyck renamed Western Boulevard north of Columbus Circle "Broadway" in 1899, extending one of Manhattan's most famous streets. On March 24, 1900, Mayor Van Wyck began another New York institution by breaking ground in front of City Hall for the city's first subway.
An expressway bearing Van Wyck's name was built to connect John F. Kennedy, then Idlewild, Airport to several of the main east-west thoroughfares that run through Queens. Initial construction of the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678) was completed in 1950, and the road was officially opened on October 14 of that year. The construction of the Van Wyck Expressway required the impressive engineering feat of elevating the Long Island Rail Road switching yards and terminal in Jamaica, Queens (at 1,100 trains a day one of the busiest railroad junctions in the world), up into the air to allow for construction of the roadway underneath.
The playground opened on August 27, 1957, adjacent to J.H.S. 217, Robert A. Van Wyck Junior High School. Parks and the Board of Education have jointly operated the park since November 1954. The park opened as J.H.S. 217 Playground and was changed to Van Wyck Playground by Commissioner Stern in 1985 and then renamed Briarwood Playground by the Commissioner in 1997. Today the playground contains play equipment, benches, and an octagonal seating area to be enjoyed by residents of Briarwood and the surrounding communities.

A previous version of this column misstated the amount of new Chinese bank lending for January. It has been corrected.
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — As Hong Kong markets re-open Thursday for the first day of trading in the Year of Snake, everyone wants to know what fortune holds for the year ahead.

First impressions suggest the zodiac sign of a creature so often associated with evil and known for its venomous bite is hardly propitious.
Adding to local unease, at a widely watched Taoist annual fortune-telling ceremony in Hong Kong this week, one of the unluckiest possible omens was drawn. The omen reminded Hongkongers to "beware wicked people," and that "nothing is going well."
Such superstitious noise should be screened-out by professional money managers, of course. But for those already feeling uneasy about the year ahead, previous Snake years do not hold much comfort.
In 2001, markets reeled after the Sept. 11 Twin Towers World attack, while 12 years earlier in 1989, Hong Kong suffered a rout after the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. The Hang Seng Index /zigman2/quotes/210598030/delayed HK:HSI -0.13% ended both Snake years as losers.
Incidents of misfortune in Snake years can also be found in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor and in 1929 with the Wall Street crash.
This cautionary precedent suggests it's worth reviewing what might bite China investors in the Year of the Snake.
First, there is potential for black-swan-like, geopolitical events. On cue, Kim Jong Un reminded everyone of the threat to the region from this renegade state by detonating his first atomic bomb as North Korea's new leader during the Lunar New Year holidays.
This comes as time of growing tensions between China and Japan over disputed islands in the East China Sea. Some commentators worry this could yet escalate into a military conflict, as both governments show little interest in backing down.
In financial markets all seems benign, as various asset classes have once again been lifted by a tide of liquidity going into 2013. But the possible reversal of this cushion of money could yet bite investors.
In Hong Kong, the key asset class that could be exposed to any change in external liquidity conditions is the frothy property market. At the end of last year, the International Monetary Fund warned of a potential abrupt price correction that could pose a severe risk to the economy.
A look into luxury homes in Asia
From a tropical retreat in Australia to a Colonial-style home in Thailand nicknamed the White House, explore a few of the homes featured as the Asia House of the Day in January.
For mainland China, we will have to see if the Year of the Snake brings a fresh bout of policy tightening, particularly after new data revealed an explosion in fund raising.
New bank lending in January rose to 1.07 trillion yuan ($172 billion), an increase of 45% from a year earlier and the most in three years. But it was aggregate social financing — which includes controversial shadow lending and bond issuance — that really skyrocketed: It reached 2.5 trillion yuan in January, an all time record and up 160% year on year.

A good portion of Americans join softball leagues this time of the year. Many do it for the social aspect alone, which leaves many teams stockpiled with players who are ridiculously awfu
Each week, we'll rundown some of the more comically bad softball atrocities by some of these players. If you've got your own, please send it along to email@example.com. Of course, these are [Sic'd] for your viewing pleasure.
Miraculously, It Survived
Playoffs for my co-rec team in the Fall of '06. I am a spotty hitter at best and probably had not gotten a hit all night. I hit a great ball to dead center that almost rolled to the fence. I am probably the slowest girl alive and tried to leg out a triple. Having never learned how to slide, I slid with my right leg straight into the non-breakaway bag causing a spiral fracture high on my ankle. I don't know why I even slid, the third baseman hadn't caught anything all night. I was safe and obviously couldn't run, but wanted to stay cause I thought it was just a sprain. We were playing against the local hospital's team, they braced my ankle and told me to go to the emergency room, which was probably a good idea because my teammates said they heard a loud pop. We lost and I was in a cast for four months.
Another Bullshit Night In Staple City
I've played centerfield most of my life because I'm fast (like the wind). Sometimes when you're that fast you can only half hear teammates scream fence!! while running backwards full speed, head tilted back, cross bar of chain link fence meet head at full speed. Ball was about 10 ft. over a 12ft. fence. I'm told (by my mom who was way in the stands) that my head made a good tone on the fence. Reached up touched blood, felt flesh, ran in to shortstop who was an EMT and asked how it looked. He replied, "it does not look good." Mommy take me to the ER. Staple city.
injury on Long Island
Save The Girl, Ruin The Leg
I was on 1st base after a single. The batter grounded to short, so I slid at 2nd as to not kill the girl playing second. However, I was wearing shorts, because, shit, I'm playing beer league softball. The ensuing scab took about 14 days to heal, and at around the first week the plasma dripping down from it was epic.

(Then the second week in...)
Rule One Of Company Softball: Do Not Maim The CEO's 12-Year-Old Son
Alright, I held back from writing in this story because it's old and there's no pictures, but what the hell.
I played baseball up through college, taking a couple years off to recover from leg injuries. However I never lost my over-competetive spirit.
When I was young, I had a job with a small company back home; part-time on the weekends, full-time every summer. Usually, right after I got back to full-time there was the annual company "outing" at a summer camp in the area with a cookout, pool and a company slow-pitch softball game. The very first season I worked for the company, I showed up for the outing ready to play some softball. I hadn't played any organized sports in a little over two years, and I couldn't wait to get back. Keep in mind - this is a family event...
Early in the game, I was in right field because nobody really knew me and they needed somebody to play out there. The teams were picked by President of the company vs. CEO, and I was on the President's team. I'm out in right field with a couple runners on base and a guy flips a fly ball deep to right. I camp out under it and get ready to throw home to catch the kid tagging up at third. Yes, the "kid" - also known as the CEO's 12-year old son. The CEO was playing catcher and not really paying attention to my throw coming towards home plate; he was too busy goofing with his son like he was going to tackle him so he couldn't score. Unfortunately, my throw went up the third baseline about three feet... and hit the kid square in the shoulder, bounced off and clipped him in the head. He started crying, and I felt sick. I had only been with the company for like a month, and I thought I'd get fired for it. The kid came off the field after touching home plate, and he was fine on the bench. Until three innings later.
I was batting - I'm a lefty - and the same kid was playing second base. He was more interested in staring at the bugs crawling around on the ground... so he wasn't really paying attention when I smoked a one-hopper directly at him, and off of his knee. Broke his kneecap. This time, I was certain I was getting fired by the CEO on the spot. He came out to check on his kid and stare daggers at me, then they left for the hospital.
The next Monday morning, there was a note on my desk from the President of the company - "You're on my team from now on". That's all it said. I stayed with the company for five years, coming back every summer up through my junior year of college and playing in the company game and a couple of local rec-league tournaments. The CEO rarely spoke to me from that day on, and with good reason. I never saw his kid at the company outing again. But at least I always had a spot on the "roster" if I wanted it.
No, He Did Not Get Attacked By A Shark
Hey guys,
I have a pic to submit of my own softball fail injury. This gash required 25 stitches (though many of them are hidden under the skin now).
First inning of the game, I'm on first base and my girlfriend is up to bat with two outs. She hits a weak grounder to the SS, and I feel like Mr. Big Shot and try to take out the second base girl with a stylish slide.
Not only was I out by a country mile, but when I got up, I looked down to notice a monster gash on my lower left leg and blood all over my shoe! The cut was about 1.5 inches wide and a good 7 inches long.
So instead of a good hustle play getting me pats on the back, I get a ride to the hospital and juicy scar. All this for the lowest level co-ed rec league in the city :(

HeartGold & SoulSilver (TCG)
HeartGold & SoulSilver (Japanese: ハートゴールドコレクション ・ ソウルシルバーコレクション HeartGold Collection · SoulSilver Collection) is the name given to the first main expansion of cards from the English HeartGold & SoulSilver Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Japanese release is the first of the LEGEND era. The set brings several new mechanics and features to the game.
Pokémon are the heart and soul of any great Pokémon Trainer, and now is your chance to catch some of the greatest Pokémon of all time! With new kinds of cards that will change the way you play—like Pokémon Prime and the astonishing Pokémon LEGENDs Ho-Oh and Lugia—plus lots of Trainer cards that will accelerate your game and select Energy cards with a brand-new look, the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion will get you started on your journey to greatness!
HeartGold & SoulSilver is the first expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game series of the same name, though often shortened to HGSS (the same abbreviation is also used for the expansion itself). Based on Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver themselves, the expansion includes mostly Pokémon from Generation II, which itself includes all Pokémon from Generation I. Unlike its predecessor, Neo Genesis, HeartGold & SoulSilver also consists of many Pokémon from the first generation, whereas Neo Genesis included only those related to new Pokémon (such as Horsea and Seadra, which had to be included for Kingdra's sake). In Japan, the expansion heralded the start of the Pokémon Card Game LEGEND era.
HeartGold & SoulSilver was the first expansion to use a revamped card design, which included multiple changes:
- The card border is now gold and silver as opposed to yellow.
- The illustrator's bar, the Pokémon stage bar and the Pokédex data strip all include tinges of gold.
- The evolution circle returns to the extreme top-left of the card. The stage name strip is extended further to the left due to this.
- An unfinished circle is present on Basic Pokémon cards where the evolution circle would be present on Stage 1 and 2 Pokémon cards.
- The flavor text area has been compressed further down with the illustrator's bar shortened in length to compensate.
- The top-right corner is now gold and silver to display the Hit Points more prominently.
- The weakness and resistance bar no longer has the swooshes featured since Neo Genesis.
HeartGold & SoulSilver also introduced two new mechanics, as well as discontinuing two other mechanics. Pokémon SP cards and Pokémon LV.X are no longer present, the latter due to the removal of levels on the cards. Pokémon LV.X were replaced by a new mechanic in the form of Pokémon Prime (Great Pokémon in Japan), Pokémon that are considerably rarer and more powerful than any of their regular counterparts. Pokémon Prime do not play home to any new mechanics: they do not have special names, there are no drawbacks to their use and they evolve the same as any other Pokémon. They have a holographic gold border, much like the silver border of Pokémon LV.X and Pokémon-ex before them, and additional graphics around the illustration box and the card name (which is also holographic gold). They also lack Pokédex data in order to free up space for more Pokémon Powers and attacks.
The second new mechanic to be introduced by the set was Pokémon LEGEND, named after the series in Japan. Pokémon LEGEND are two cards that are treated as a single card when in play. The component cards form the top and bottom halves of the Pokémon LEGEND and can feature either one or two Pokémon. They can be put into play only during the game itself and only when both halves of the card are ready to be played at the same time. To compensate for their higher-than-average HP and stronger attacks, there are two drawbacks to playing Pokémon LEGEND cards. Both halves of the card have the same name, so only two of each half can be used in a 60-card deck. Also, Pokémon LEGEND cards depicting two Pokémon cause the opponent to take two Prize cards upon their defeat, much like with Pokémon-ex. Pokémon LEGEND cards are entirely holographic and three-quarters of the overall card is the illustration.
The Japanese version of the expansion also brings about a change to the long-standing Trainer card: The three different types of Trainer are now classified as Item, Supporter and Stadium, though Item cards retain their title of Trainer cards in English regions until the release of Black & White. Similarly to Supporter cards and Stadium cards, which were color-coded red and green respectively after their reclassification in the Diamond & Pearl expansion, Item cards (including Trainer cards in English) are now color-coded blue. As with Pokémon cards, Trainer cards have also been redesigned: the illustration box now has a gold outline and the text area is metallic silver.
Japan's set also introduced a type of card that had been present in English regions since the launch of Expedition Base Set in the form of reverse holographic cards, known in Japan as mirror cards (ミラーカード). These feature the same holofoil treatment as reverse holographic cards that has been present since Diamond & Pearl in English.
The English prerelease card for this set is Pichu.
Set lists
- This expansion marks the first instance in the TCG in which one generation of cards has included three distinct series; these are referred to as the DP Series, the PL Series and the HGSS Series (Pokémon Card Game DP, DPt and LEGEND respectively in Japan).
- The card revamp for this series of expansions marks only the second time in the TCG that the card layout has been revamped mid-generation, following the shift from Neo to e-Card in Generation II.
- Six evolutionary items are featured in multiple different artworks from the expansion:
- A Thunderstone can be seen on Raichu's artwork;
- A Fire Stone can be seen on Arcanine's and Ninetales's artworks;
- A Water Stone can be seen on Starmie's artwork;
- A Leaf Stone can be seen on Exeggutor's artwork;
- A Moon Stone can be seen on Wigglytuff's and Clefable's artworks;
- A King's Rock can be seen on Slowking's artwork.
- The Energy cards were the first ones that featured Pokémon:
- Fighting Energy features Sudowoodo
- Fire Energy features Ho-Oh and the Bell Tower
- Grass Energy features Celebi
- Lightning Energy features Ampharos and the Glitter Lighthouse
- Psychic Energy features Espeon
- Water Energy features Lugia and the Whirl Islands
- Darkness Energy features Umbreon
- Metal Energy features Steelix and the Goldenrod Radio Tower
- These basic energy cards are also reprinted in Call of Legends as Reverse Holographic cards.
- Energy cards received in the three starter theme decks do not feature Pokémon.
- This is the first time that Double Colorless Energy has been printed since the Base Set in Japan, and since Base Set 2 elsewhere.
- Typically, there are about 6 Prime Cards per 36 booster packs for HGSS Series.
- Only cards from this expansion onwards can be obtained in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online.

Who was/is Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
Marvin Gaye
Geboren am 2. 4. 1939 in Washington D.C. als Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. Spielte mit Don Covay bei den Rainbows, später mit den Marquees. Ab 1960 arbeitete er für Motown Records abwechselnd als Sänger und Schlagzeuger bei diversen Sessions, Z. B. für Little Stevie Wonder. Wurde Duett-Partner u. a. für Mary Wells, Kim Weston und Tammí Terrell. Weit über 50mal platzierte Marvin Gaye sich in den US-Charts.
Zu seinen größten Hits gehören 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine', "Inner City Blues' und (erst 1982) 'Sexual Healing'. Mit seinem Vater, einem Geistlichen der Apostolischen Kirche, lag Marvin Gaye häufig in Glaubensfragen über Kreuz. Am 1. 4. 1984 wurde Marvin Gaye von ihm erschossen. In den Jahrzehnten zuvor war der Top-Star in amerikanischen Kinofilmen wie 'The Big Beat' (dto., 1965) und 'Chrome And Hot Leather' ('Chrom und heißes Leder', 1971) dabei.
Aus dem Bear Family Buch - 1000 Nadelstiche von Bernd Matheja - BFB10025 -
Marvin Gaye
I'll Be Doggone
Marvin Gaye
I'll Be Doggone
Once he hit his full stride at Motown, Marvin Gaye was proving unstoppable. His personal hit streak commenced in 1962 with the aptly titled Stubborn Kind Of Fellow (Gaye had resisted singing commercial R&B initially at Motown, preferring to croon old standards), then went into overdrive the following year with Hitch Hike, Pride And Joy, and Can I Get A Witness, and in '64 with You're A Wonderful One, Try It Baby, and Baby Don't You Do It. He was also proving a fine duet foil, scoring hits alongside both Mary Wells and Kim Weston.
Holland-Dozier-Holland started 1965 off memorably for Marvin with their glorious How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), a #4 R&B/#6 pop blockbuster. "The key, he thought, was too high," says the song's co-writer and co-producer Lamont Dozier. "If you put Marvin in a situation where his back was against the wall, meaning that the key was a little high, he would come up with stuff that you couldn't write on paper, as far as his performance was concerned."
Marvin's endlessly prolific pal Smokey Robinson produced his next smash, the sleek I'll Be Doggone. Written by Smokey, Miracles bass singer Pete Moore, and their guitarist Marv Tarplin, it vaulted all the way to the top of the R&B charts and made it to #8 pop. Constructed around a tough rhythm guitar figure and spiced with crackling bongos, a mixed vocal chorus, and swirling strings, I'll Be Doggone was chock-full of sly Robinson lyrical twists and turns that rendered the tune a pure delight.
"The music was primarily done by Marv Tarplin," reports Moore. "He was the one that came up with the original riff. Once we heard it, then Smokey and I put the lyrics to it." Before the year was through, the same creative triumvirate, abetted by fellow Miracle Bobby Rogers, would come through again for Marvin, handing him another number one R&B smash, Ain't That Peculiar.

Product Review: Dark Chocolates
Be forewarned though, if you are just now eliminating Sugar from your diet, you may not like the taste of Dark Chocolates that do not contain a Sugar substitute. If it tastes bitter, then leave it for awhile and come back to it after another week. Dark Chocolates are meant to be savored and nibbled, not scoffed down like a Snickers Bar. Enjoy!
Green & Black Organic Dark Chocolate 85%:
Where: Whole Foods
Taste: I really like this chocolate. It is not too sweet, but is rich and smooth. Jorge and team mention this bar in one of the first videos and I love that it is organic. It says "12 Pieces per Serving", but those pieces are very small. It is one of my favorites!
S/C: 12 very small pieces are 6/1
The Dark Chocolate Lovers Chocolate Bar:
Where: Trader Joes
Taste: It is very smooth and has a fruity taste. It has three half bars inside. I found this when I got a clerk to help search the store Dark Chocolate low in sugar. She got a Jorge lesson as she helped me look and found this fabulous bar!This is my favorite so far!
S/C: 2/3s of 1 bar is 6/1
Lindt Excellence 85% Cocoa:
Where: Target, Safeway and other stores
Taste: A little bit bitter, but much lower in Sugar and Carbs than the other bars. I think it has about half the Carb, even though the S/C for one Serving is the same. It is widely available, so its easier to find. Don't be discouraged if don't like this bar and think all Dark Chocolate is exactly like this. Also, come back and give it a try after you've been off sugar for a longer time. Your taste buds will adjust and you might find you like it more then! I find it the least indulgent.
S/C: 4 squares are 5/1
Ghiradelli Intense Dark Midnight Reverie 86% Cocao:
Where: Target and other stores
Taste: I did not find this bar bitter, like I expected. It has a complex dark taste and needs a moment to "warm up" in your mouth. It claims to have fruity undertones, but I haven't noticed that. I have only had one square of this bar so far. My husband, who does not need to diet, prefers this one.
Simply Lite Dark Chocolate:
Where: Trader Joes
Taste: This bar is made with Maltitol sweetener and helps give it a much sweeter taste than other Dark Chocolates. Because of that, there is no Sugar to count on the BFC. It tastes more like a lighter Chocolate Bar, or like someone who has never enjoyed Dark Chocolate hopes it would taste! Maltitol can upset your stomach, so if you haven't had it yet, try just a small piece the first time. I hear that Dove also makes a similar SF Dark Chocolate that may be more readily available to those of you without a TJ's near by.
I also noticed that pretty much every one of these had 5Grams of Fiber per serving, which is an added bonus! Enjoy a few squares of Dark Chocolate next time you have a craving!

Hmmm, I thought I left this already so if I dual post, sorry.ReplyDelete
Just wanted to say that I love the Ghirardelli Midnight Reverie chocolate. It is my favorite. Don't care for the Lindt, it is too bitter for me, but my husband likes it.
I'm going to try the Trader Joes one next time!
I like the Simply Lite and I have tried the Dove Dark Chocolate (got it at Target) and it is really good and the squares are large.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 9, 2009 at 11:38 AM
Sounds good, thanks for the review!ReplyDelete
I was jonesing for a sweet treat today and looked around local area Trader Joe's for the Simply Lite Dark Chocolate. Seeing none, I just grabbed some of the Low-Carb Milk Chocolate (I actually prefer Dark Chocolate) and had a few squares. It wasn't bad at all. Now this is making me really want to locate some of the Dark Chocolate. Thanks for the review because I didn't care for the Lindt's Dark Chocolate at all.ReplyDelete
I think that the dark chocolate is an acquired taste. I never preferred it, but now I just love it and find a small amount is so satisfying. When your taste buds are used to the higher level of sweetness of milk chocolate, this is a different taste at first. I haven't tried all these brands, but I do like the Ghiradelli Midnight Reverie and it is great when you can get it in the individually wrapped squares.ReplyDelete
i picked up some endanged species chocolate and am loving it! i only need a few pieces to feel satisfied. i just began the belly fat cure last tuesday and started my own blog. i thought it would help keep me motivated and able to share things i've learned and learn from others. i love resourceful sites where people can share and i'm loving your site. mine isReplyDelete
hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think!
Costco was doing a demo of Amberlyn Chocolates in CA and I picked some up. Yummy!ReplyDelete
Hopefully this will become a regular item!

Air Canada and WestJet have both sent messages on Twitter advising that flights are being delayed or cancelled because of the power problems at the terminal.
Calgary's electric utility, Enmax, says spring-like weather and a salt buildup caused some utility poles to catch fire early Sunday, knocking out power for several thousand customers in the city's northeast.
Enmax spokeswoman Doris Kaufmann Woodcock says the power supply continued to the airport, but that something triggered a problem on the airport's end.
Calgary airport spokeswoman Jody Moseley says a backup power supply kept emergency systems functioning and that full power was restored by Sunday afternoon.
Enmax is working with the airport to determine what happened.

Colorado Voters Soundly Defeat Dangerous Anti-Choice Amendment for Second Time, Protect a Woman's Right to Choose
For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) applauds the defeat in Colorado of a ballot initiative that could have eliminated a woman's ability to make the most personal, private decisions about her health care.
Amendment 62, which could have extended legal and constitutional rights to fertilized eggs and could have outlawed abortion and several forms of contraception, was defeated by a decisive 71–29 percent margin.
It is the second time in recent years that Colorado voters have overwhelmingly rejected the extreme proposed measure that could have created far-reaching consequences, affecting an estimated 20,000 state laws.
"By rejecting Amendment 62, Colorado voters have again sent a strong and clear message that personal, private health care decisions should be made by women, their doctors, and their families, not by politicians," said PPFA President Cecile Richards. "Voters want policies that improve access to health care, not take it away."
Amendment 62, the so-called "personhood Amendment," sought to ban all abortions, even for victims of rape or incest, and when a woman's life is at risk. It also could have also resulted in a ban on emergency contraception and common forms of birth control, as well as blocking the use of in vitro fertilization, among other reproductive health services. Put simply, Amendment 62 could have seriously endangered women's health and family privacy.
The sponsors of Amendment 62, Personhood Colorado, are part of a national organization, Personhood USA. The group is also working to introduce similar ballot initiatives in other states in upcoming elections.
"The overwhelming rejection of Amendment 62 in a moderate state like Colorado sends a strong message to other states that are considering similar 'personhood' initiatives: Voters know a threat to privacy and women' s health when they see one," said Richards.
Nearly 70 state and national organizations joined the NO on 62 Coalition this year, including doctors, nurses, medical researchers, attorneys, faith and religious leaders, civil liberties advocates and community and health advocacy organizations.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains was a part of the NO on 62 Coalition and played an important role in educating voters all over Colorado about the dangerous and extreme impact of Amendment 62, and persuading voters to reject Amendment 62.
"We are so grateful for this victory in defeating Amendment 62," said Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains. "This vote demonstrates that Colorado trusts women, and we are a state that supports women and their families, and we want policies that support women and their families.
Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading provider and advocate of high-quality, affordable health care for women, men, and young people, as well as the nation's largest provider of sex education. With more than 700 health centers across the country, Planned Parenthood organizations serve all patients with care and compassion, with respect and without judgment. Through health centers, programs in schools and communities, and online resources, Planned Parenthood is a trusted source of reliable health information that allows people to make informed health decisions. We do all this because we care passionately about helping people lead healthier lives.

Learning to Like Mitt
Andrew Ferguson, reluctant Romneyite
Sep 3, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 47 • By ANDREW FERGUSON
Now that he's officially the Republican nominee for president and has an excellent chance of becoming the most powerful man in the world, I feel free to admit, in the full knowledge that nobody cares, that I never liked Mitt Romney. My distaste for him isn't merely personal or political but also petty and superficial. There's the breathless, Eddie Attaboy delivery, that half-smile of pitying condescension in debates or interviews when someone disagrees with him, the Ken doll mannerisms, his wanton use of the word "gosh"—the whole Romney package has been nails on a blackboard to me.
Gary Locke
Evidently not many of my fellow Republicans agreed. I assumed I was missing something and resolved to dive into the Romney literature, which I soon discovered should post a disclaimer, like a motel pool: NO DIVING. By my count the literature includes one good book, The Real Romney, by two reporters from the Boston Globe. That's the same Globe with the leftward tilt to its axis and a legendary anti-Romney animus—which lends authority to their largely favorable portrait. The flattering details of Romney's life were so numerous and unavoidable that the authors, dammit, had no choice but to include them.
Romney once famously called himself "severely" conservative. Other adverbs fit better: culturally, personally, instinctively. He seems to have missed out on The Sixties altogether, and wanted to. As a freshman at Stanford he protested the protesters, appearing in the quad carrying signs of his own: SPEAK OUT, DON'T SIT IN! In 1968 the May riots stranded him in Paris. "The disorder appalled him," the authors write. He left Stanford for BYU, where long hair, rock bands, and peace symbols were banned. As a young go-getter he liked to give friends copies of Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill—a Stephen Covey for the Coolidge era, sodden with moral uplift. (Even his anachronisms are anachronistic.) "There was nothing jaded about him," a school friend tells the authors, "nothing skeptical, nothing ironic."
At his wedding, he declined when the photographer asked him to kiss the bride: "Not for cameras," he said. Since that day, Ann says, they haven't had an argument; friends believe her. And their kids—we've all seen their kids. The authors tick off a typical week for the young family. Sunday: "church, reflection, volunteer work, family dinners." Monday: "family night," when the family gathered for Bible stories and skits about animals. Tuesday was for family basketball games and cookouts. Friday was date night for Mitt and Ann. Saturday was for doing chores, and so on, in a pinwheel of wholesomeness that a -post-60s ironist can only gape at, disbelieving. The Romneys present a picture of an American family that popular culture has been trying to undo since—well, since An American Family, the 1973 PBS documentary that exposed the typical household as a cauldron of resentment and infidelity.
And now, here, 40 years later, it's as though it all never happened: a happy American family, led by a baby boomer with no sense of irony! Romney is the sophisticate's nightmare.
Almost every personal detail about Romney I found endearing. But my slowly softening opinion went instantly to goo when The Real Romney unfolded an account of his endless kindnesses—unbidden, unsung, and utterly gratuitous. "It seems that everyone who has known him has a tale of his altruism," the authors write. I was struck by the story of a Mormon family called (unfortunately) Nixon. In the 1990s a car wreck rendered two of their boys quadriplegics. Drained financially from extraordinary expenses, Mr. Nixon got a call from Romney, whom he barely knew, asking if he could stop by on Christmas Eve. When the day came, all the Romneys arrived bearing presents, including a VCR and a new sound system the Romney boys set up. Later Romney told Nixon that he could take care of the children's college tuition, which in the end proved unnecessary. "I knew how busy he was," Nixon told the authors. "He was actually teaching his boys, saying, 'This is what we do. We do this as a family.' "
Romney's oldest son Tagg once made the same point to the radio host Hugh Hewitt. "He was constantly doing things like that and never telling anyone about them," Tagg said. "He doesn't want to tell people about them, but he wanted us to see him. He would let the kids see it because he wanted it to rub off on us."
To this touching kindness and fatherly wisdom, The Real Romney adds other traits that will continue to grate—he's a know-it-all and likely to remain so, and his relationship to political principle has always been tenuous. Which makes him a, uh, politician. But now I suspect he's also something else, a creature rarely found in the highest reaches of American politics: a good guy.

Obama, In Afghanistan, Hopeful On Security Pact
President Barack Obama made a surprise trip to Afghanistan on Sunday to visit U.S. forces who are wrapping up a 13-year mission and signaled that he intends to keep a small number of troops in the country for training and counter-terrorism operations.
Cheers erupted among the hundreds of U.S. troops gathered in a Bagram hangar when Obama said that at the end of this year, 'America's war in Afghanistan will come to a responsible end.'
With Afghanistan immersed in a runoff election to choose a successor to President Hamid Karzai, Obama did not meet Afghan government officials nor travel to the capital Kabul. Karzai has long been out of favor with Washington over his refusal to sign a bilateral security agreement to allow U.S. troops to stay beyond 2014.
Obama's fourth visit to Afghanistan came as he faces criticism at home over a foreign policy often derided as too passive in dealing with crises from Syria to Ukraine and Russia. He is to respond to those criticisms in a speech on Wednesday at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Karzai's refusal to sign the bilateral security agreement has exacerbated concerns about the country's prospects for stability as the Taliban insurgency rages on, and has contributed to a steep economic downturn in recent months.
Obama administration officials briefed on the matter told Reuters last month that the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan may drop well below 10,000 beyond 2014, the minimum demanded by the U.S. military to train Afghan forces.
The decision to consider a small force, possibly less than 5,000 U.S. troops, reflects a belief among White House officials that Afghan security forces have evolved into a robust enough force to contain a still-potent Taliban-led insurgency, the officials said.
There are now about 33,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, down from 100,000 in 2011, when troop numbers peaked a decade into a conflict originally intended to deny al Qaeda sanctuary in Afghanistan after the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The two leading candidates in Afghanistan's presidential race, Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani, have both pledged to sign the security agreement as soon as possible, should they be elected in the second round of voting scheduled for June 14.
The new president may not start work until August, as logistical constraints and widespread fraud could mean it will take the country's electoral commission weeks to determine the outcome of the vote.
Obama called Karzai from his plane after leaving Bagram, saying he wanted to conclude a bilateral security agreement with the next president. He also told Karzai he would inform him of his decision on post-2014 troop levels before making it public, a senior administration official told reporters on the plane.
At Bagram, Obama addressed the troops just after a performance from country music star Brad Paisley, who joined him
for the Air Force One ride halfway around the world, a trip kept under wraps until the plane arrived.
'Once Afghanistan has sworn in its new president, I'm hopeful we'll sign a bilateral security agreement that lets us move forward,' Obama told the troops.
'We want to preserve the gains that you have helped to win. And we're going to make sure that Afghanistan can never again, ever, be used again to launch an attack against our country.'
Obama's remarks were laced with patriotic praise for troops ahead of the U.S. Memorial Day on Monday, a holiday of remembrance for those Americans who lost their lives in wars.
'I know sometimes when you're over here, away from home, away from family, you may not truly absorb how much the folks back home are thinking about you. So I just want you to know, when it comes to supporting you and your families, the American people stand united,' he said.
Criticized at home for his handling of a controversy involving healthcare delays for veterans, Obama vowed his administration will uphold the 'sacred obligation' to take care of those who had served in the U.S. military.
Obama got a briefing from the Army general who commands U.S. and NATO forces here, Joe Dunford, and U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham. He said he would announce 'fairly soon' how many troops the United States would like to leave behind.
Obama's visit to Bagram took place late on Sunday night local time. He was joined by national security adviser Susan Rice and senior adviser John Podesta, who has a son stationed in Afghanistan.
Frayed relations between the Obama administration and the Karzai government loomed over the visit. The Afghan president rejected an invitation extended through the U.S. embassy to meet Obama at Bagram.
'President Karzai said he would warmly welcome him if he comes to the palace but in no way he would go (to) Bagram to meet him,' Abdul Karim Khurram, Karzai's chief of staff, told Reuters.
A U.S. official said the White House was not surprised that the proposed visit did not work on short notice.
Karzai has long expressed anger at civilian deaths in Afghanistan. He told the Washington Post in an interview in March that the war in Afghanistan was not fought with his country's interests in mind.
In a statement issued before Obama's arrival in Afghanistan, Karzai criticized the U.S. phone surveillance program, saying it violates his country's sovereignty.

OK, I selected this book based solely on its title, but boy did I luck out. What an incredibly gifted writer Sam Kean is. In The Violinist's Thumb: and Other Lost Tales of Love, War, and Genius as Written by Our Genetic Code, he translates dense scientific concepts into lucid, beautiful prose.
He also knows how to tell stories. The first chapter contrasts the biographies of two of DNA's discoverers, Mendel and the less well-known, Johannes Friedrich Miescher, who because he studied fish slime had to work in very cold conditions so that his material would not deteriorate before he could examine it. And who knew that Mendel joined a monastery so he could secure a university education? His passion for raising peas taught us so much about human inheritance.
This book tackles and at least partially answers many of life's great questions including: Why did it take eons for life to become complex? What is our most ancient DNA? Why do humans have no more DNA than so many smaller, less complex creatures? Why did we almost become extinct? Why did we break away from monkeys? Is the impulse for art conveyed by our DNA? Why are identical twins not identical?
Not only is Kean an intelligent writer but he's also very clever and good at penning chapter titles. Who can resist one called "Humanzees and Other Near Misses"? The humanzee experiment was the quest to create a chimp/human hybrid. In 1924, the Pasteur Institute gave Russian scientist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov permission to use their primate station in French Guinea for Ivanov to experiment artificially inseminating chimps with human sperm. Unfortunately, the chimps were not yet fertile. Later, he continued these experiments, at one point planning to inseminate African female hospital patients with chimpanzee sperm without their knowledge. Stalin himself approved more of Ivanov's experiments in southern Russian. But luckily none came to fruition.
Another chapter examines how humans, unlike other primates, have only 46 chromosomes. This is because long ago in humans chromosomes 2 and 4 fused. Kean provides an interesting discussion about how this fusion affected heredity so that humans with 48 chromosomes eventually had a slim chance of reproducing.
Kean never veers to the abstract and impersonal. At the very beginning of the book he describes visits to his grandparents' home where he watched his grandmother care for his grandfather who suffered from Parkinson's disease. This image of this shaking, debilitated grandpa haunted him and made him debate taking a DNA test himself. But how could he study the subject and not explore his own?
A book that examines similar issues but on a more personal level is Jeff Wheelwright's The Wandering Gene and the Indiana Princess: Race, Religion, and DNA about a woman (Native American and Spanish) whose diagnosis of breast cancer led to discovering her unknown Jewish ancestry.

If a house had mildew (I'm assuming it's mildew, it's black and slowly spreading) on the ceiling of the top floor of my house, what could cause this and how serious could it potentially be?
The building is a 3 story (minus the roof space) house in the UK. It was built in 1997, and the same family lives there today that moved in 16 years ago. If you want pictures or have questions, leave a comment and I will update the question. I don't know a lot about DIY/home improvement which is why I am asking here.


text: Island Wedding Trends 2017 May 8, 2017 Natasha Blog, Instagram (0) Pina colada in hand, coconut grove overhead; the island life isn't half bad. And when it comes to the perfect wedding location? You can bet your bottom dollar that a dreamy island setup tops the list. If you're lucky enough to have been invited to a far flung tropical location, you're going to want to make the most of it. Sun soaked for days and not a cloud in sight (fingers crossed), the beach is the arguably the best of the bridal options out there. With all of that weather to deal with, though, just what can you do? Sure, you want to soak in all the sun but when you're stuck out in the midday heat, you might begin to regret that floral cape and heavy flower crown. Fear not; fashion is here. Island accessorizing is seriously hotting up its game and this year, it's practically impossible to get it wrong. Ready to hit the beach? Your island is waiting! Bring a little bling Who said that too much is too much? When it comes to island bling, it pays to pile it high. Want to show off your tropical glow? Do it in gold. Accessorizing your look with a pair of vintage-inspired hoops is a simple yet effective way to get your style on point. Put these beauties on, tousle your hair a little and watch as the wedding guests flock to you. There's a lot to be said about a little sparkle! Windswept waves Let's face it; there's no such thing as tamed tresses in the tropics. Letting your hair run wild can be the best way to embrace the island life, so don't be afraid to really go for it with the texture. Your windswept waves will set you head and shoulders above the rest. And when it comes to the wedding photography? Nothing stands out from the crowd like a great head of hair. Go in for the gold We're not saying that gold is the only way to go, but when you want to show off your tan, is there really any other choice? Chances are that you're going sleeveless for your island jaunt and if that's the case, you're going to want to layer on those accessories. Building your bangles is the perfect way to accessorize your look without going overboard. Not sure where to start? This delicate bracelet will put you off to a flying start and for the rest, the sky's the limit! Pared back and pretty If you're heading to an island wedding any time soon, you need to start thinking about the whole sand situation. We love a heel as much as the next girl, but when you're dealing with beach life, there's no telling what might happen. This year, it's all about the flat. While the thought of sporting a flat to your next wedding might seem all wrong, the laid-back style is totally in keeping with island life. Opt for a pretty, accessorized version and you won't even notice the difference. Outfit: Sorted. Braid it back With all of that tropical weather to deal with, there's no telling what your hair situation will be like once the ceremony is over. It's best not to risk a hair disaster. Opting for a messy braid will keep you well in track with this year's island trends while protecting your tresses from any sudden weather events. These undone plaits are the ultimate in island chic, giving you an updo that's about as laid back as a pina colada on the beach. Island life is all about kicking back and letting yourself go natural, but there's nothing wrong with helping mother nature on her way. Boost your look, keep it basic and let yourself glow. What else is a tropical destination for, after all?

Desperately clinging to a product category that smartphones have all but wiped out, this tiny media player has its sights set on the iPod Shuffle. And it hopes to nip away at its market share with a killer feature—a built-in projector—that only succeeds in making this device even worse.
Being able to enjoy videos and other media on a projected 60-inch screen sounds awesome, right? Unfortunately the size of this projector means that's never going to happen. There's no mention of how bright it is—its lumens rating—which basically means for best results you'll want to use it a completely dark room, or better yet, near a black hole. As a media player it can handle pretty much every file type the internet can throw at it, but its tiny form factor means there's also a tiny battery in there. So don't expect to be enjoying movies for any longer than half an hour. Save your $100 and go to the theater a bunch of times. Or just do nothing. Both are better options that this.

The point of all this is, of course, to produce a specialist report. In this case a Treasury Report for the Portable Antiquities Scheme (http://finds.org.uk), that will eventually be published (previous Treasury Reports can be found here: http://finds.org.uk/news).
As a researcher, these are important, as in some cases they will be all that will ever be available or accessible in respect of the the finds in question, with some being returned to the owners rather than ending up in museum collections.
Accurate measurements, descriptions and typological assignations are important for assigning objects to specific periods, and must be reliable in order to be used as the basis for future arguments and interpretations about these past communities. Of course, accuracy, particularly when in a hurry, need not be pretty…
For example, in the 2005/2006 Treasury Report, a hoard from Llancarfan, Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, was reported to have a hilt or handle fragment of a sword of Carp's-Tongue type (the bottom row of swords in the below picture). This association meant that the hoard should be dated to somewhere late in the period c. 950-800 BC. The same phase as our hoard from Nottinghamshire. However, subsequent work during 2007-2011 on swords of this type in Iberia and France, have revealed a type of proto-Carp's-Tongue sword, known as Type Huelva/St. Philbert (the top row of swords in the picture below). These swords, however, have been demonstrated to be dated to the period c. 1050-950 BC. This is the date of the Wilburton phase which, as we described in an earlier post (…: when… ), is the period prior to the one our Nottinghamshire hoard belongs to. Tiny changes such as these can require us to radically revise our ideas about what types of objects we believe might have been available to people at any particular time, and the connections and relationships that they may have represented.
Such typological work on bronze objects, however, was for long out of fashion, snubbed and rejected by many in both the academic and commercial sector, in Britain. Less so on the Continent, however. This is partly because it was seen as a laborious and time consuming way of what is, so it was believed, merely cataloguing. But typology is and can be so much more. These tiny objects, whole and broken, represent the technological choices of the past communities that both produced them and consumed them, and the socio-political and economic conditions in which they existed. These little pieces of metal, and all the tiny idiocracies of morphology, over which so many have laboured, are glimpses of styles and tastes, of changing fashions and fads. Aesthetics have always been important to people, not only as indicators of how we live but what we wish to communicate to others about ourselves, our choices and our relationship with our communities. What French ethologists have long called 'technological choices'.
This Maussian approach to metalwork typology very much characterises the modern typological endeaver. But whereas contemporary archaeological theory has attempted ever more leaborate slights of hand to reveal the agency of the 'individual' in the archaeological record, Bronze Age researchers are mopre frequently orientated to revealing communities, of which such objects are highly evocative.
So much of what we own, use, and wear defines us. Whilst the accessibility today of such things might have radically changed, as might approaches to their production, the significance of these pretty little things for persons and communities is far from being representative of a 'modern' condition.

This one really pisses me off. It's the fucking coldest thing you could do to people.
You've all seen the story about the tv station broadcasting a zombie warning. People seem to think it's funny.
Me? I think of the poor bastards finding out that the warning was fake. Man, in about 20 minutes I'd have my windows boarded up and be on my way to loot Wal Mart shooting all the people staggering around on the way.
WTF? They're having a deal where you can vote for a name for Pluto's moons. Wait, Pluto has moons? You know what has moons? Planets, that's fucking what. How about you assholes admit it's a planet before we name its moons?
How about a Say Uncle link?
Poor fucking Ralphie, I hope he doesn't move to NJ cuz Black Bart would eat his lunch.
Some appeals court in NJ upheld the state's ban on buying more than on gun a month. Wait, check that, more than one BB fucking gun a month. BB guns apparently lead to murder or are for murder or something.
Seriously. How do you talk to people like that? "It's a gun, it leads to more guns and when people have them they'll go on to kill!!! Just like that guy in California."
Remember when bb guns just shot your eye out? Good times, good times.
Bob Owens has some hilarity that, if it happens, will surely signal the end.
So we all know politicians are idiots, that's a given. In Illinois they passed an unconstitutional law that Teh Peepul actually fought, and they won! So Illinois had to fix their, "No handguns for anybody not a cop, union thug or on a security detail for someone important" law.
So they didn't fix the law because people don't get guns in commie dictatorships. Since they didn't fix it, the laws of the United States say they're supposed to default to constitutional carry (concealed carry without a permit).
Not gonna happen of course (it's fucking Illinois, the law is meaningless to the rulers and only serves to beat the subjects down), but the chaos that their actions cause will be hilarious.
My prediction for the SOTU I just found out is about to happen.
Obama will blame all the bad stuff on others, say that those others are stopping him from fixing stuff, talk about how they need bi-partisan solutions so the GOP needs to get out of the way so he can fix the country.
The only suspense will be whether he calls on the GOP to be bi-partisany before he says they need to get out of the way or after.
Important Update!
Well, not that important, but it's an update!
I like looking at the search terms that hit our blog most times, sometimes I'm pretty creeped out at the stuff that leads to here.
Three people came to the blog on this search, or three different parts of the blog were linked from that search or the same guy clicked the link three times.
where's the creepy bunny with the missing ear carving a swastika on the wall with a plastic spoon?
Where? Indeed. I thought it might be Bun Bun, but he has both ears and uses a switchblade, so I'm stumped.
Later: I edited the "Where? Indeed" part.
