'70s hard rockers The Rockets will return for a show at the Fillmore on December 28, but original guitarist Jim McCarty won't be joining them. Citizen Zero and Horse Cave Trio also play. The ranks of the new Rockets includes original Rockets drummer Johnny "Bee" Badanjek, along with lead singer Jim Edwards, keyboardist Danny Taylor, and new members Joey Gaydos (lead guitar), Phil "Greasy" Carlisi (guitar) and Mike Marshall (bass). In addition, the Rockets will be releasing a new four-track EP, Greetings from Detroit. General admission is $20 and doors are at 7pm. All ages are welcome. It's an interesting development; the Rockets reunion initially occurred just a few years ago when McCarty, Badanjek and Edwards had been performing together as the Hell Drivers, and they decided to switch names to boost interest. They went away for a while, McCarty working with Cactus and Badanjek with the Howling Diablos. So is this band, left with just Johnny Bee, a legitimate version of the Rockets? What do you think?

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11 Tegan & Sara Sisters are doing it for themselves. When we first saw Canadian twin sister duo Tegan & Sara on stage back in 2005, the siblings had already been performing together for ten years (since the age of 15). To be fair, it's easy to form a band when you live with your prospective co-member, but not if you're arguing about who gets to hold the TV remote that night. Such nonsense was put to one side, and a sweet indie pop outfit was born. Back in '05, only the two of them would be on stage but they use a band now, a sign of growth perhaps. The seventh album, Heartthrob, was released this year so expect material from that. Walk Off the Earth also plays.

Detroit entrepreneurs Sam Munaco and Chris Ciaramitaro have launched a new free music streaming site called Ourtunez. While it seems that the internet is already full of streaming apps and the like, these guys swear that Ourtunez is different. "Traditional radio has lost listeners by playing the same old thing to the same demos, and streaming options have typically been one music format or another," said Munaco. "We want to knock down barriers and expand horizons, playing outstanding, unknown music alongside mainstream songs to feed new music discovery." The iOS app is soon to be released on Android blends independent and mainstream music (it's dubbed "where indie meets pop"). Ourtunez streams at 192 kilobits per second to produce a higher sound quality for listeners. Go to Ourtunez.com to see what it's all about>. There are various stations ("Indie Rap," "80's Hits," etc), plus the option to create playlists. "Some of the greatest bands out there may never have the opportunity to reach the masses without the marketing and promotion of a major label," added Ciaramitaro. "Talented musicians need a new voice and listeners need an avenue to hear and discover them. Ourtunez provides that world stage." "Some services focus on […]

There wasn't any real surprises when this year's batch of bowl matchups were announced this past Sunday. The Michigan State Spartans will be playing in the Rose Bowl on Jan.1 — as we all knew following their impressive victory over Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. And the Michigan Wolverines were selected for the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Dec. 28 in Tempe, Ariz. against Kansas State. While both teams will be taking a long westerly journey for their respective games, and both games are Bowl games, that's about the only thing the two have in common. A major story line here is that this will be Michigan State's first Rose Bowl appearance since 1988 — enough said. They'll be under a spotlight in Pasadena that is normally reserved for their basketball team. And their game against Stanford is bound to be a good one, as both teams rep very solid defenses. Further down the west coast, Michigan is playing with a little bit less at stake. While the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl is definitely above, say…the Little Ceasars Pizza Bowl at Ford Field, it's definitely a few tiers below the BCS Bowls. Even so, Michigan will definitely […]

If a recent Coachella Festival appearance is anything go by, everybody loves the Nick Jr. TV show Yo Gabba Gabba! It doesn't matter how old you are, the mere sight of exuberant host Lance Robertson in his furry orange hat getting silly with a tin robot, a furry green thing, a spiky red Cyclops, a blue cat and a pink girl with a Hershey's Kiss for a head is enough to turn the most drained of parents into dancing loons, while hipster kids are getting attached too. Ahhh, post-modern irony – you love your games. It's the Teletubbies with an anime twist, and Biz Markie doing beat-box. So we were offered the opportunity to present some questions to creator Christian Jacobs via email, and we promptly sent a bunch of questions over, in September. We received answers back a couple of months later, but they were to different questions. We don't know if they muddled our questions with those from another publication, of if they just decided to interview themselves. It's a bit bonkers, but then so is Yo Gabba Gabba!. Here it is anyway… Do you ever plan on introducing any new characters? Ha! Yes! Sure! We always have […]

CHICAGO, Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Segal McCambridge Singer & Mahoney, Ltd. is pleased to announce that attorney Steven Hart is the recipient of a 2013 Trial Lawyer Excellence Award for the highest reported Illinois verdict or settlement during the past year, in recognition of the $100 million-plus settlement he obtained in Minn-Chem, Inc. et al. v. Agrium Inc. et al. Mr. Hart received the award at the Law Bulletin Publishing Company's annual Jury Verdict Reporter Awards & Reception, held on October 16, 2013 in Chicago.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130117/CG44392LOGO)
"It is a tremendous honor to be recognized by the Jury Verdict Reporter, the most respected legal reporter and source of legal information in Illinois," said Mr. Hart, a shareholder in Segal McCambridge's Chicago office. "The legal system worked extremely well in this case. All parties had an opportunity to present their respective positions before the entire 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and Chief Judge for the Northern District of Illinois, Judge Castillo. We could not have asked for a more learned group to preside over this case."
Minn-Chem, which settled in January 2013 after four years of litigation, was a complex antitrust case against seven of the world's largest potash producers and distributors. Potash, a main ingredient in agricultural fertilizers, is used in farming around the world. A small group of Canadian and Russian potash producers dominate the global market, controlling 71% of the world's supply. The Minn-Chem settlement will compensate for a 600% artificial price increase in potash those producers inflicted upon U.S. farmers and agricultural businesses between 2003 and 2008. The case is also significant in that it introduced new possibilities in e-discovery and provided a critical clarification of the extent of U.S. antitrust law in international cases. Mr. Hart led the Segal McCambridge prosecution team with assistance from shareholder Brian Eldridge and associates Elizabeth Schieber and Kyle Pozan. Bruce Simon, of Pearson, Simon & Warshaw, LLP, and Joseph Bruckner, of Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P., served as co-counsel.
"We are so pleased for our clients," Mr. Hart reflected. "It is causes and results like this that make me extremely proud to be a trial lawyer."
Mr. Hart, a trial lawyer with more than two decades of experience, litigates a variety of civil matters including personal injury, products liability, toxic tort, environmental, automotive, and transportation cases for clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and individuals. Mr. Hart has tried cases to successful jury verdict throughout the country and has argued before State and Federal courts of appeal.
About Segal McCambridge Singer & Mahoney, Ltd.

Defending an Open, Global, Secure, and Resilient Internet
August 2012—PresentThe Council on Foreign Relations has convened an Independent Task Force on U.S. Policy in the Digital Age, co-chaired by John D. Negroponte, former deputy secretary of state and director of national intelligence, and Samuel J. Palmisano, former chairman of the board of IBM Corporation.
The Task Force is examining U.S. interests in the digital realm, assessing existing policy, and making recommendations for future policy. In its analysis, the Task Force will consider issues of Internet governance and international cooperation on cybersecurity, trade, and intellectual property, among other important issues.
Adam Segal, CFR's Maurice R. Greenberg senior fellow for China Studies, serves as the project's director. The Task Force was launched in August 2012, and the group aims to produce a report in early 2013.

A long man stood in the throne room, two great red onyx pillars held the domed ceiling from where they were either side of the great symbol. The ceiling had been painted centuries ago when the great dragons still roamed the world, huge winged beasts capable of reducing a castle to ash in seconds.
Eyes the colour of a new moon night's shadows flicked over the details of the throne, delicate gold filigree made up the outer edging of the decoration. Rose stems and their thorns were entangled endlessly, each and every one ended with a rose, whether it was a bud or in full bloom. With most of them being the size of a large man's fist, the solid gold flowers would be worth a fortune, you would only need one to be set for a lifetime.
The thorny stems reached into the main part of the throne as well, the leaves grew in size until their layering reached the seat and the back sections. This allowed the throne to be surprisingly comfortable, shaped gold beneath a royal rear.
"Wouldn't do if it was a royal pain the arse" the man murmured to no one in particular, he sniggered at his own immature joke. The filigree also spread to the pillars beside it, the pattern was continued entwining in layered gold up to the ceiling where it spread as paint across the battle scene. Thorny vines wrapped their way around the great dragons, telling the story of their eventual downfall and finally their extinction.
The man looked down at the square obsidian tiles on the floor, each one was outlined with gold and set with a red onyx rose. The floor wasn't dark even with the volcanic glass used, with the massive windows high on the walls to his left as the man faced the throne, the tiles seemed to glow. The light from torches at night and sunlight in the day revealed the sparkles in the stone, each tile glittered like its own night sky. The walls were red onyx the same as the pillars, designed to be an example of the many who died during the wars, their blood was mean to be in those walls.
The blood, sweat and tears of hundreds of artists and stone masons should have been in this hall. But that was the thing with magic, things tended to get done much faster, they also managed to last much longer, the art didn't show any sign of its great age. The man eyed his reflection the the obsidian floor and raised an eyebrow, his hair was a mess again, it came just over his ears, he ran his fingers through the locks. His jawline and dimpled chin had a few days of scruff visible, his father would be quick to complain.
The man acted as if he hadn't heard the door's soft click behind him, the fey of old certainly knew how to make a lock, his brother didn't know how to enter silently however.
The man ignored the stranger's presence, continuing to act as if he didn't know anyone was there and walked up to the throne. He bent forward to examine the 'grown' gold filigree as he walked up the four steps on which the throne rose. It was only from the throne someone could see out of the windows clearly, he turned to look out at the city from where he stood. "Do you feel the throne suits you, Brother?" The man who had just entered now stood where his younger sibling had stood in the centre of the room. "You know I stand here only to vex you, Gregor, fear not, you are still their heir" locks of dark hair fell loose as the dark eyed prince turned to look at his older sibling. Gregory's eyes were a cold blue, their father's eyes, his hair was only a shade lighter than his younger sibling's. "Alistair" Gregor said his brother's name with something nearing contempt, "father will not be pleased with your appearance" Alistair stepped down and walked up to his brother, smile played on his lips. Younger or not Alistair was the same height as Gregor even though six years separated them.
"Our dear King will not have to bare for long, I don't intend to stay long" Alistair moved to pass his brother, "I only want to pick up a few things-" he was topped by the hand on his shoulder. "I need you to stay, just this night at least...I have something to ask of you."
There was something in his voice, Alistair turned and looked at his brother with his short cut hair and stiff stance, his expression was one he rarely saw, Gregor's face looked...pained? "What happened?" The younger sibling asked, intrigued more than worried, nearly nothing could faze his brother. "A woman" as these two words left Gregor's mouth, Alistair burst out with laughter, "you?!" He back off incase the heir to their kingdom chose to slap his insolent younger brother. "Gregor, you are the bane of the girls in the north quarter!" Alistair continued to laugh but Gregor only frowned deeper. He told the truth however, many a young woman had opened her legs to the heir of the kingdom, such was how nobility could be born and claim power.
Thankfully, Gregor hadn't fathered any bastards yet, Alistair simply kept to the pretty whores of the west quarter, most of them couldn't bare children anyway. "She isn't like that, I want you to meet her" Gregor spoke quietly, embarrassed, Alistair gaped at his brother. Gregor couldn't help a small smile at having stunned his brother, "where?" Alistair asked, "where grandfather died." The younger prince raised his eyebrows at this answer, but nodded and walked away, he made a point of not letting the door click as he left.
Alistair made his way through the back ways of castle, he didn't want to run into his father in the way too his room. Which made it unfortunate that the King was actually in his room. "Alistair" the ageing man said his name simply, he knew what to expect when he turned around, a young prince looking like a low born scout, all he was missing were his weapons. Alistair was caught half way in the door, surprise printed on his face, just a tiny bit of 'damn, should have known' in his eyes. "I won't be long-" "neither will I" the King said interrupting his son, his motion said otherwise as he took a seat before the fireplace. His sigh said it all, he had seen the bow, arrows and knives set on the bed, he knew what the prince planned. "You are going to be gone for some time" Alistair gave a noncommittal shrug in answer, but his father hadn't been asking.
"I was like you...a long time ago..." The young prince rolled his eyes, now he really knew what was coming, "I didn't want the throne- Alistair, sit down." The prince sat like a spanked child ordered...well...by their father. "I had two older brothers to be King before me, war took them and in payment I got the throne, now I have two sons, but the price was your mother." He talked as if he was decades older than his years, Alistair didn't want to listen, but he couldn't help looking at his father and taking in each word.
They all missed the Queen, hair the colour of midnight, that was all Alistair could remember of her. The King always stated how the paintings never captured her beauty, Alistair had never been able to see anything but a blank painting's eyes in each picture. As lovely as the paintings looked alone, they never did capture the warmth he remembered feeling when she would look at him. Gregor had had more time with her, the one thing Alistair was jealous of him for.
"Just be safe" the King had risen and moved for the door without Alistair noticing, the old man had made use of the prince being deep in thought. Alistair glanced at his father as he left and gave a nod, a silent promise.
As soon as it was beginning to grow dark the prince rose, he grabbed his and packed a small bag, slung of one shoulder he didn't forget his knives, bow and arrows.
The castle grounds were alive at night as much as they were in the day, similar to the throne room the garden had been created by the fey. For the kingdom now outlawing magic they certainly had done an amazing job all those centuries ago. The night was cold, the grass had a layer of early night frost covering it, the leaves of the trees were already silver and now they glowed in the moonlight.
The city was quiet as he passed through, his hooded cloak caused him to need to reveal his face to pass through the gate, but otherwise nothing hindered his journey. Alistair could see the fire his brother had made as he crossed the fields from the city to the forest, the cold night had even driven the caravans to shelter. Other than the guards at the gates, Alistair saw no one else. As he neared the edge ok the forest, Gregor stepped out, this was where their grandfather had died, so close to home, bleeding out from a bandit's well aimed arrow. "She isn't here, further on" the heir said cryptically and lead the way, the small fire had just been a marker then, why was he being so secretive?
They walked on in silence for some time before they reached a clearing, the trees had only recently been removed. Alistair noted how there were bits of bone scattered around, one large one he saw looked half buried and too large to move easily. "A dragon is buried here" he looked at his brother, eyes wide with awe, Gregor smiled and threw his brother an apple. "A big one" the older prince added as Alistair took a bite of the apple and crouched down beside the bone, it looked like it could be a thigh bone. "So where is she?" He asked in an off hand way, but he really was curious to know what woman could enchant his otherwise seemingly dead heart. He chewed and swallowed the apple, it was slightly bitter, but he wasn't about to complain, apples were his favourite, instead he put his things down and continued to examine the large bone.
"Eva?" Gregor called, Alistair stood and ran his fingers through his hair, he hid the apple behind his back as the young woman stepped out from the tree line. White blonde hair caught his attention immediately, he wasn't usually one for blonde but she was rather good looking. The woman stepped forward and up to Gregor, she looked at Alistair, unsure of him, the younger prince bowed and tried to relax as he took the last bite of his apple and threw it behind him. Alistair couldn't help but realise his stomach was beginning to cramp, he glanced at the ground as his knees started to feel weak.
He had felt this before, when he had had too much to drink, "Gregor..." He was about to say he didn't feel well when a gasp made him look up, his eyes alighted to a scene he had not expected.
The heir's sword, seven and a half feet of steel was stabbed through the young woman's stomach and up through her chest till it exited her back. Her head sagged forward as Alistair fell backwards, "what you are feeling is poison, brother" Gregor explained as he threw the woman's body down. He walked up to his called smiling and grabbed his hair, bragging him to the centre of the clearing. "You know of the war we face, yet you still galavant off into the distance and father says nothing of it" Gregor snarled, "G...Gregor..." Alistair managed to wheeze.
"Be silent" the heir hissed, "you have nothing to say, you never did have anything useful to say" he stood over his brother's still body. The only signs of life were his still moving eyes, along with his chest quickly rising and falling with his gasping breaths. "This won't take long" Gregor muttered more to himself that Alistair who felt like he was dying.
The sound that came on the wind was like many voices speaking at once, it took Alistair a few moments to realised the sound was in fact only Gregor. He was saying a spell and the dead of this ground were speaking with him, the younger prince struggled to move, to get away but the poison held him fast. Alistair lay on the forest ground and looked up into the sky, his father's words rang through his mind along side Gregor's spell, stay safe...
For a while the whispering stopped, "you may or may not believe me, but I don't have magic, Alistair, hence why I needed her" Gregor motioned to the dead girl. "She was a witch, sent here to kill me, funny, no? Instead she chose to side with me, I promised my reign would allow magic to return" Gregor snorted at how he had lied to the now dead woman. Alistair's finger twitched without the older prince seeing.
"I needed someone with magical blood for this spell, she really just turned up at a perfect time" Gregor stabbed a dagger from his belt into the corpse and opened her chest, it didn't take him long to remove the heart. The heir knelt down next to his sibling and looked at his still staring eyes, "I'm going to turn you into a weapon of war, I'm going to tell father you're dead, I'm going to rule the kingdom with you at my side." Gregor placed the fresh heart aside as he held the bloody knife in his right hand and opened Alistair's shirt. "Don't feel flattered, Brother, I need to be sure this enters your heart." Nothing the older prince was saying made sense to Alistair, though likely this was due to his mind fading in and out on consciousness as his body still tried to wake.
Clarity returned a moment later, it came with the pain as the knife rose and plunged down into Alistair's exposed chest. Pain bloomed like the roses on their father's throne, but fire spread through his veins, burning through the poison as it reached every extremity, Alistair screamed. This was not the scream of someone who had been stabbed, he didn't have the shocked silence first, this fire burned into his soul and he could feel every inch of his body light up in agony.
The knife began to glow as Gregor started another spell, Alistair didn't even notice the metal melt and seep over his skin, the blade inside of him was pushed out like blood pouring from the wound. The younger prince's back arched as something crawled out of his chest, fiery claws and burning skin, it tore at the edges of the wound. The tiny creature raised its head to the sky and let out a scream of its own, this was not one of sound however, Alistair's cries were joined in the air by a gout of flame. The gout held in the air and formed a spinning sphere, the creature became ash and disintegrated with the fire. Knew what to do next, he took a moment to look down at Alistair, the agony had lessened, the spell waiting to continue. The younger prince looked at his brother with pleading eyes, but in answer Gregor threw the heart into the fiery orb.
The sacrifice was accepted and the sphere returned to complete the spell, a waterfall of fire fell towards Alistair. Movement allowed the prince tried to escape the flames, even weakened as he was he was fast enough to roll onto his front, but not enough to crawl away. The fire fell onto his back, sending him into another fit of scream as the fire sought to make a other opening into its host. His clothes lit of fire as the curse burned through, his body was set ablaze till Gregor couldn't see him inside. The heir backed off from the heat, his left arm rose to shield his face, what he saw looked more like a fire taking form than a flesh and blood body being forced into it. Burning wings spread from a once human back, the body grew as it changed, screams were silenced, useless as they were in the situation. Though perhaps they weren't, the fire could very well have simply been too loud to allow Gregor to hear his brother's cries.
It was several minutes before the fires began to die down, as they receded it wasn't burnt human flesh beneath, instead it was jet black scales. The leg revealed first showed how much bigger this new form was to the prince's original body, as the flames receded further, Gregor's grin widened. Once the last flame winked out, the great dragon's head slumped down onto the ground, wings sagging unceremoniously as his four legs gave out from beneath him. Gregor laughed, he walked up to the dragon that had been his brother hand patted the scaled hide, "I did it..." He whispered grinning, finally he raised his arms to the air and yelled "I did it!" He sounded like a child given a new toy.
Gregor didn't expect the dragon to wake so soon, with a roar and a fit of panic to get off of the ground, the dragon broke several trees. It took a while for the beast to calm, Gregor stood his ground as he did, "Alistair" he called his brother's name, it took a moment for the dragon to react. Red eyes looked at him from dark scales, still learning to focus, Gregor thought for a moment the dragon might have been frowning. "You will follow my orders, I am the one who summoned you here!" Something flickered behind those eyes, a memory and with it a growl rose from the dragon's chest. He wasn't supposed to remember anything...Gregor's grin faded as he realised what would happen.
Alistair snapped at his brother then turned on unsure feet in an alien body and fled on foot, he didn't know how to fly, so the wings were a useless weight. They caught branches and whole trees as he passed, but he kept moving, he could hear the soldiers coming, they had heard the screams and seen the fire. He could smell their weapons and armour, he remembered what his brother said, he had heard the roar from his own throat. He knew he was the weapon his brother wanted and he could feel the tug to obey his orders at the back of his mind.
The younger prince fled as his brother met the soldiers and told them of the dragon the witch had summoned, the beast had killed his younger sibling. He didn't dare take the soldiers to fight a great dragon, not without an army and five solders were not counted as such. Gregor returned to the castle and told the King the same, no one questions him, no one knew, Alistair continued to flee in a body that was not his own.
A month later found Alistair feasting, his dark scales glittered in the light, the two cattle he had, one of which was soon to be finished, would sate him for now. He had learned to fly soon after being driven off a cliff by soldiers, he had leaped out over the sea and spread his wings, instinct had kept him in the air and allowed him to escape. Now he was at the border lands, far from home and comfort, far from anything remotely familiar. He had taken a short time to final look over himself, he had hard jet black scales over most of his body, his underbelly and throat were a dark grey. His red eyes bothered him the most, people looked on him even less kindly due to his eyes, a demon they called him even when they didn't know his brother's lies. Brother...they weren't brothers not any more...
There was no failing to recognise him for what he now was, an ancient creature of magic, though he had seen nothing of any gifts he was meant to have. Except fiery breath, the fact the cattle beside him were cooked to the bone showed how hot his own flames had already become.
Alistair looked up from his meal, the shadows his his large form, only the faint glow of his eyes had a chance of giving him away. A group of towns people passed, they were walking, but their bodies were tense, the dragon could smell fear, from what he could make out of their murmurs they were hunting something.

Intro: After the particle accelerator in Switzerland, I went off to the east. This was actually my first time solo travelling (my sister had to head back to Canada a bit early), and was also when I decided "I should write a blog on travel… and SCIENCE!" haha.
With a week to spare, I desired to see the east, mostly because my dad is from Czechslovakia so I was excited to visit his old-country. Thus, this post is a whirlwind of my trip to the east and the counties of Austria, Slovakia, and Czech Republic.
I was going to write a large blog about the geological history of Eastern Europe, however, since its 3.5 billion year history Europe has gone through significant changes with the geometry and geography of its tectonic plates. Therefore, I will just quickly highlight my travels through Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic and then briefly dive into and simplify some broad, complex, underlying geology for these eastern regions.
First stop via Switzerland, and still in the shadow of the Spectacular Alps, was Austria. On my way to the east I had to spend a couple days in the country.
So where did I stop? In the town of Salzburg. And what is there in Salzburg? Music!
Austria did not fail to disappoint with its proud history as a musical country. Salzburg is home to two musical giants! The Sound of Music, one of my (and pretty much everyone's) favorite musicals was set and filmed here…
And the second musical giant? Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! Again, one of my favorite (and pretty much everyone's favorite) classical composers.
As a bonus there was is also the stunning Hohensalzburg Castle looking over the town, and a festive Austria celebration at the time, not bad for a stop-over.
A second stop over was in Vienna. I didn't have too much time but managed to squeeze in a Mozart and Strauss concert and enjoy the city sights.
Slovakia was next to the east. Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and where my father spent considerable time when he was young. I got to explore the small but friendly old town, which falls in the shadow of the tall, and newly restored from a recent fire, Bratislava Castle.
My time was short, so I only got to check out the smaller old town and the Bratislava castle, but Slovakia left a nice impression on me. I hope to discovery more of it's culture and country in the future.
Czech Republic
Finally, I made my way north, to the Czech Republic. Formally Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic split from its Slovak neighbors 20 years ago. I spent my time in Prague, which in my opinion, is the most gorgeous city in Europe. The stunning architecture and vast history make the city of Prague shine.
I did a walking tour and would highly recommend it; this historic town is owed an explanation. You get to see and learn about famous landmarks including the Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge, Wenceslas Square, and the Prague Castle.
In fact, funny thing about the Prague Castle…
Can you spot it?
Well, turns out the St. Vitus Cathedral in the castle wasn't fully finished, so some hundred years later they wanted to finish it and got another guy to do the job. But the 'in' style for architecture had changed… Therefore, the even though the 95% of the cathedral is Gothic, he decided to complete the top of a town in Baroque!
Science Spheel: Simplifying Some Complex Geology (Geology)
The geological and tectonic history of Europe is immense! With over 3.5 billion years of twisting and turning, there was a lot going on to say the least. But in general, Europe can be divided into two region:
1) A stable Precambrain craton in the north and east, known as the East European Craton. This is a > 0.5 billion years old stable part of the continental crust.
2) A mobile belt, in the south and west. This is encompasses younger crustal blocks that have been consecutively attached to the ancient craton.
Between these two regions is a boundary marked by the northwest-southeast-trending Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ, or previously known as the Trans-European Fault). The TESZ is a "broad zone of NW-SE-striking faults" and it extends for approximately 2000 km, lying fairly close to the eastern counties I visited; Slovakia and The Czech Republic (Plant et al. 2004).
Final Thoughts:
The beauty of the old country and Eastern Europe really stunned me. Geographically, most of Europe can fit in my province of British Columbia, Canada. However, we have nothing on the architecture and history of Europe, especially the east. As well as that, an exciting and complex geological history underlies this ancient and turbulent continent.
If I got anything out of this blog post and trip it would be that even though I thought I knew a fair bit about Europe, I really know nothing, and I look forward to exploring and learning more about both Europe's Human and Geological History.

I'm posting this because I just don't know what else to do to help my girlfriend. Or how to get some thicker skin. To be as brief as possible:
We've been together for two years now. Mostly happy although some difficulty a couple of months ago and we broke up but we reconciled and got back together 6 months ago. We were working things out and seemed to be getting along better before her cousin passed away. My girlfriend loved her cousin very much as she was like a big sister to my girl. She looked up to her a lot and turned to her for support since she was a kid. I see her cousin as an older sister too. Went with her several times on family get-togethers, and made a very nice connection with her cousin... We got along great.
After her cousins sudden death, she understandably, became extremely moody.... which progressed to anger---directed some toward herself or family, but mostly at me!
I feel like I could no longer talk to her without her getting mad or pissed at me.
The other day, I was telling her about my day at work and I mentioned that I felt like Ive hit rock bottom with how things are going at the bank and instead of empathizing with me, she snapped at me for whining about trivial things and proceeded to lash out at me. Accusing me of being narrow-minded and calling me a spoiled, privileged jerk who take things for granted. I know that there are worse things in life than the stock index going down but I wanted to reach out to her and share what was going on with my life. Work has been kicking my *** in so many ways and I thought sharing my troubles with her would help me feel better like it used to.
There are several instances when she would explode or lose her temper over the smallest things. Its like everything that comes out of my mouth makes her angry. I understand that being angry is part of the grieving process but this is just ridiculous. Shes acting as if I killed her cousin or something. When shes not withdrawing from the world and shutting me out, shes either mad or irritated with me. Its so difficult because we live together so Im always at the receiving end of her wrath. It feels as if Im constantly walking on egg shells around her.
Although my needs aren't important right now, I wanted badly to pamper her... to take care of her but she wouldnt let me. A part of me feels a bit frustrated that my best intentions, my sweetest gestures are taken for granted. I want to provide at least some measure of comfort in the best ways I know how, and feel like I'm being shoved aside. I cared for her cousin a great deal and her death affected me even more than I anticipated. I suppose I had the mistaken impression that we could comfort one another and it hurts that she doesn't seem to want any of it.
Almost everything I say or do is annoying or just plain wrong.
I don't know what to do here. Any advice is truly appreciated.... thank you.

If you have used a SlimQuick weight loss product and suffered from liver toxicity, hepatitis, liver failure or any other liver problem, contact Holland, Groves, Schneller & Stolze LLC.
We want to hear from you if you have suffered liver failure, drug induced hepatitis or other liver problems while taking:
The attorneys at Holland, Groves, Schneller & Stolze LLC are investigating possible liver injuries that may be associated with SlimQuick and SlimQuick Razor weight loss supplements. These products do not include label warnings regarding liver injury, but they do describe the symptoms of liver failure – nausea, abdominal pain, dark urine or jaundice as possible side effects.
Women injured by those products may be able to file a SlimQuick liver injury lawsuit to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages from the marketers of this product. To learn more about the possible legal rights available to you, please contact Holland, Groves, Schneller & Stolze LLC today.
SlimQuick weight loss products, like all dietary supplements, are not subject to FDA approval. It has recently come to our firm's attention that SlimQuick weight loss supplements contain uva ursi (Arctostaphylos uva ursi, also known as Bearberry), an herbal ingredient that could pose a danger to the liver. Uva ursi contains a chemical called hydroquinone that is toxic to the liver and could damage the organ if taken in high doses. Taking a dose of hydroquinone that is greater than 5 grams has been linked to death from liver toxicity. Numerous websites that discuss uva ursi warn that people using this herbal supplement should be under the care of a doctor and carefully follow dosage instructions because of its association with liver toxicity. Most sites also warn that it should not be used for more than five days and for no more than five times in one year. Uva ursi also should not be taken by people with liver or kidney problems. (SlimQuick claims the weight loss supplement can be used for up to 16 weeks.)
If you or someone you love suffered from liver toxicity, hepatitis or liver failure while using SlimQuick, you may contact Holland, Groves, Schneller & Stolze LLC by filling out our online form or calling 877-255-3352.

May 12, 2010
by Carol Adelman
Hudson Institute
WASHINGTON — Despite the global recession, private giving and remittances are helping developing countries weather the economic storm, according to the new 2010 Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances published by Hudson Institute's Center for Global Prosperity (CGP).
In 2008, private philanthropy and remittances remained among the most important sources of funding in the developing world. Private philanthropy and remittances from the developed to the developing world were nearly twice as much as government aid ($233 vs. $121 billion). As predicted in last year's Index, remittances from all countries to developing countries have remained remarkably resilient despite the global recession that began in December 2008. These remittances totaled $336 billion in 2008, a 17% increase from 2007.
This marks the fifth anniversary of the Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances as the most comprehensive measurement of global private giving. Five years ago, the foreign aid establishment downplayed the importance of private giving. Now, almost every major international economic institution--from the U.S. State Department to the IMF and the World Bank--recognizes that private development aid is critical to prosperity in the developing world.
The 2010 Index shows that U.S. philanthropy to developing countries—which includes contributions from foundations, corporations, private and voluntary organizations (PVOs), individual volunteers, religious organizations, and colleges and universities—held steady at $37.3 billion, compared to $36.9 billion in 2007. Remittances from the United States to developing countries reached an estimated $96.8 billion in 2008, the largest U.S. outflow to developing countries.
"The success of the Index proves that if you measure something, it will grow. We have documented how private resources are transforming developing countries and challenging foreign aid to be more effective and collaborative. Through the Index, we have changed the discussion of foreign aid so that it represents what is really happening in developing countries. The aid landscape is forever altered," says Carol C. Adelman, director of Hudson Institute's Center for Global Prosperity.
CGP celebrates the Index's fifth birthday Wednesday, May 12th, at a luncheon at the St. Regis Hotel. Former USAID Administrator Andrew Natsios will give keynote remarks with an introduction by Dr. Carol C. Adelman, founder of the Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances. Guests include high level government officials, foundation representatives, leaders among private and voluntary agencies, representatives from philanthropic projects featured in the Index, and key research partners including The Urban Institute Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy, the Foundation Center, the International Institute of Education, and the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy.
This year's Index presents cases on how the recession has encouraged individuals such as14-year-old Talia Leman, founder and CEO of RandomKid.org, to harness children's philanthropic efforts to raise money for Cambodian schools and African wells after raising $10 million for Katrina relief. Similarly institutions like Land O'Lakes and the U.S. Marines partnered to create a dairy farm for widows in Faluja and are being challenged to be more creative in their efforts, spurring innovation in traditional giving models. The Index explores the philanthropic appetites of emerging economies like China and Russia, Europe's edge over the United States in social investing, as well as the development promises and practical challenges of high impact investment opportunities in African small and medium enterprises through emerging funds like the Africa Middle Market Fund.

Recipe by MakeItHealthy
"I love this recipe because it is so simple to make. I have made it healthier by substituting whole wheat flour and 1% milk. I like to fill them with non-fat plain Greek yogurt and blueberries warmed in maple syrup. Yum!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup white whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup blueberries
After adding an extra 1/2 cup milk, these were truly delightful, healthy crepes! The original recipe makes a batter that's too dense. (A side thought: "Whole Wheat Crepes" would have been a much better recipe title.)
I forgot the butter altogether, used skim milk, otherwise used the recipe exactly as stated and they turned out beautiful and quick. I got 7 crepes and a mini crepe out of this recipe

It is exactly two blocks from the beach walk (a sidewalk with exercise equipment and has little parks along the way like lover's park). I also enjoyed the company of the staff and guests. It is very clean, spacious and good value for the 32soles a night (reasonable for miraflores). The breakfast included has very tasty coffee and fresh bread and jam. The beds are comfortable "

The hostel it self is great with good kitchen facilities, good rooms, hot showers, free wifi and computer with internet and good common areas and tv for chilling and hanging out.
