Over the past week, I spent some time thinking about priorities and goals for 2017. I'm excited about all of that (and my new Bullet Journal is ready to roll with action steps for January!), but I don't want to share that here right now. Instead, I'd like to share an Open Letter that I wrote as a playful look at my thoughts on the year ahead. If you were going to write a letter to 2017, what would it say?
I hope 2017 is treating you well so far!
Dear 2017,
Since this is the first time we're meeting, I'd like to take a minute to introduce myself: I'm Nicole. I'm a human, and I live on earth. We can chat about more details later if you'd like.
I know you're new here, so let me be among the first to welcome you. I'm glad you're here, but I'm also finding it a little hard to believe. Did you arrive more quickly than any of the previous years? In a way, it seems like it. Isn't time weird?
There were some things I liked about 2016 . . . and some things I didn't. I imagine it will be the same with you. What are your strengths and weaknesses? If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be? What's your least-pleasant feature? I'm looking forward to learning more about you. I have some other ice-breaker-type questions for you, but I think I'll save those for another day.
I've prepared a brief list of suggestions for you, and you can let me know if you're willing to cooperate. I hope we'll become fast friends, but I'm also willing to work around it if you prove to be a little bit more strong-willed. Here's my list:
- Stay around as long as possible. Take your time, allowing your days to feel long and luxurious. Stroll your way through the year, no rush. The slower you move, the more time I'll have to make memories.
- Try to be the kind of year I'll later come to describe as fun, successful, transformative, the best, or possibly epic. Try to avoid being described as painful, laborious, worst-ever. Definitely do whatever it takes to never be compared to a train wreck.
- Here are some things I enjoy, so if you have any say in the matter, please be full of these things: family time, growing friendships, spiritual connection, walks in nature, engaging books, creative projects, work that feels rewarding or worthwhile, good music, laughter, pizza . . . and clarity.
- Here are some things I don't enjoy very much, so if you have any say in the matter, please avoid bringing these my way: arguments, isolation, existential angst or free-floating anxiety, injuries, work that feels tedious or meaningless, grating sounds, bad smells, lima beans . . . and confusion.
- Don't be a meanie.
Ok 2017, my new favorite year, thanks for reading this letter and for your kind attention thus far. I look forward to hanging out with you more sometime soon, like . . . now.
For a quick final update, I wanted to report that my Christmas Challenge was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed creating daily doodles and seeing the creativity of the other participants! If you'd like to see the results, search the hashtag #12creativedays on Facebook or Instagram. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
If you click "Follow", you'll be notified each time I post. My regular schedule is a weekly post [usually] every Monday & sometimes I add a mid-week "Collecting Creativity" post about other creative topics. I'd love to share more of my creative adventures with you!

Bulfinch Hall with the Shutters Closed
Bulfinch Hall with the Shutters Closed
Phillips Academy
Bulfinch Hall, once called The Brick Academy was built in 181 to replace its wooden predecessor, which had burnt to the ground. It served as the main academy building or Classic Hall from 1818 to 1843 and then for the Classical Department only until 1866. From then until 1896, when it was gutted by a fire, it was the gymnasium. In 1902 it became a dining hall, and lastly the home of the English Department in 1937. Bulfinch has served the academy well over the centuries. Before air conditioning, the only way to keep rooms cool, was open the windows and close the shutters. All the windows open would allow for a cross draft.

TIM EASTERBY, who sent out Ventura Mist to win the opening race at Thirsk 12 months ago, returns to the North Yorkshire course this afternoon with an excellent chance of completing an encore.
His representative this time is Zeela, who made a highly promising debut at Pontefract less than three weeks ago when finishing second and looking as if the experience would not be lost on her.
David Allan, pictured, teams up with Zeela in the first division of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes and the Great Habton raider is napped to prevail, just as Ventura Mist did last year before going on to clinch the richly-endowed Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy later in the season.
Thirsk's eight-race bonanza sees Lastchancelucas returning to the course where he won a fortnight ago.
Declan Carroll's sprinter did his job in determined fashion that day and the handicapper has responded by raising him 4lb. That may not be enough to stop this former useful juvenile in his tracks.
Jason Hart, rider of Lastchancelucas, has good prospects of enjoying a lucrative afternoon. Last season's champion apprentice also has a useful chance on stablemate Save The Bees, who looks to be returning to form, in the Marion Gibson Brown Memorial Handicap and Noble Storm, who should be sharper for his comeback outing at Chester, in the Weatherbys Private Banking Handicap.
In the Market Cross Jewellers Handicap, Apricot Sky makes plenty of appeal, despite having been dealt a hefty blow as a result of his Warwick success three weeks ago.
Henry Candy's sprinter was raised a whopping 11lb for that decisive success. Such a rise might halt the progress of most horses, but Apricot Sky is lightly raced and remains open to plenty of improvement. He commands the utmost respect.
Also worth noting are the speedy Al Ghuwariyah (2.50), trained by Kevin Ryan, hero of this week's Dante Stakes at York with The Grey Gatsby, and the promising Air Pilot (5.45).
At Newbury all eyes will be on Top Notch Tonto as he bids for Group 1 glory in the JLT Lockinge Stakes, which has predictably attracted a strong field.
Top Notch Tonto rose from handicap company to finish second in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth ll Stakes at Ascot last autumn. Brian Ellison, his Norton trainer, reports the gelding has come on considerably from his comeback run at Sandown.
This is going to be tough for the North Yorkshire raider as he meets his Ascot conqueror Olympic Glory, as well as two horses, Tullius and Montiridge, who finished ahead of him at Sandown. If Olympic Glory is in good nick for his first run of the year, he is the most likely winner.
Mooharib (1.30), who shaped well on his debut at Nottingham last month, is not to be overlooked in the opening maiden, while William Haggas fields a couple of runners, both of which scored at Ripon three weeks ago.
Battalion (2.05) goes for Listed race glory after his latest success, while Satellite (3.15) steps into handicap company off a mark of 86 after his comfortable debut win at Ripon in maiden company. Haggas has plumped for two of the best jockeys in the business, Ryan Moore on Battalion and Frankie Dettori on Sattelite.
Thirsk today
2.15 Zeela (NAP), 2.50 Al Ghuwariyah, 3.25 Lastchancelucas, 4.00 Save The Bees, 4.35 Apricot Sky, 5.10 Noble Storm, 5.45 Air Pilot, 6.20 Tamayuz Magic.
Newbury today
1.30 Mooharib, 2.05 Battalion, 2.40 Sir Reginald, 3.15 Satellite, 3.50 Olympic Glory, 4.25 Telmeyd, 5.00 Token Of Love.

BOSTON – Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien decided it was time to load up with offense.
It worked.
David Krejci scored 1:28 into overtime to lift the surging Bruins to a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
Coming off a tough shootout loss to St. Louis on Thursday, Julien chose to play his top line together.
Skating with his usual linemates and only one defenseman, Krejci scored into an empty net after Jarome Iginla broke in alone, forcing goaltender Cam Ward to come way out to try and cut down an angle. Iginla then dropped a pass to Krejci, who fired a wrister over a sprawling Ward for the winner.
"We haven't had much luck lately in shootouts," Julien said. "I just thought it was important to get a line out there and give us a better chance. It paid off."
Reilly Smith and Zdeno Chara also scored for Eastern Conference-leading Boston, which beat the Hurricanes for the second time this week and improved to 7-1-2 in its last 10 games.
Iginla knew Krejci had an opening and kept waiting for him to shoot.
"I was thinking, 'Put it in. Put it in,' " he said. "He showed great patience."
Krejci credited Iginla for setting him up so well.
"I kind of had an easy job to do," he said. "I just had to put it into a top open net."
Bruins backup goaltender Chad Johnson, playing just his fourth game of the season, made 22 saves in place of resting Tuukka Rask.
Patrick Dwyer scored a short-handed goal and Andrej Sekera had one on the power play for the Hurricanes, who lost their fourth straight. Ward stopped 35 shots.
The Hurricanes felt like they were a bit lucky to get the game to OT after being outplayed for two periods.
"We were happy with the way we played in the third, but it's a 60 minute game," Dwyer said. "When you get behind on a team like that, it's a tough team to get your way back into the game against. We thought we were there and they won it in overtime."
Ducks 4, Coyotes 2
In Glendale, Arizona, Dustin Penner scored two goals, and Anaheim handed Phoenix its first regulation home loss of the season.
Rangers 2, Predators 0
In Nashville, Cam Talbot made 17 saves to record his second consecutive shutout.
Wild 3, Jets 2 (SO)
In Winnipeg, Charlie Coyle scored in the fourth round of the shootout to give the Wild a victory over the Jets.
Maple Leafs 2, Capitals 1 (SO)
In Toronto, Joffrey Lupul scored the shootout winner, and James Reimer made 49 saves.
Flyers 5, Islanders 2
In Philadelphia, Matt Read scored two goals, Steve Mason made 36 saves, and the streaking Flyers beat the Islanders.
Senators 4, Red Wings 2
In Detroit, Clarke MacArthur scored two goals, and Ottawa outlasted the Red Wings.
Canadiens 3, Penguins 2
In Montreal, Max Pacioretty scored two goals, and the Canadiens stretched their winning streak to three games.
Blues 6, Stars 1
In St. Louis, Brian Elliott made 34 saves in only his fifth start of the season.
Sharks 2, Devils 1
In San Jose, Scott Hannan and Tyler Kennedy scored first-period goals, and the Sharks held on to edge New Jersey.
Blackhawks 2, Canucks 1
In Vancouver, Andrew Shaw and Marcus Kruger scored 9 seconds apart in the third period.
Avalanche 1, Kings 0 (OT)
In Los Angeles, Jamie McGinn scored 2:32 into overtime and Semyon Varlamov won his third straight start.

Two Oxfordshire villages are to be brought into the 21st century with a new broadband internet service.
Appleton and neighbouring Eaton will reportedly have broadband speeds that match the best in the country once the system operated by an Oxfordshire entrepreneur is installed by September.
It follows a two-year campaign by residents dogged by a painfully slow internet which has meant they are unable to download films or watch TV online.
Appleton resident Graham Rose, who spearheaded the campaign, said: "Two years ago we had a public meeting in the village hall to discuss how we were fed up with the broadband speed and to find out what we could do about it.
"BT said upgrading the Cumnor exchange was not in its current plans and so we looked at various alternatives, some of which did not make financial sense. Then we came across a company called Gigaclear."
Gigaclear, based in Chipping Norton, was set up by Matthew Hare who previously ran telecommunications firm CI Net in Kidlington before selling it to MDNX in 2010.
Work has now started installing fibre optic cables around the village which will be capable of delivering broadband speeds of a minimum of 10 megabits per second (mbps) up to 1,000 mbps.
But before work could start, many villagers had to be convinced that a fee of £37 per month with a connection and installation charge totalling £185 was value for money.
Gigaclear needed 120 homes and businesses signed up before it could commit to making a £500,000 investment to install the system.
Mr Rose, 65, added: "People are resistant to change but in future people will relying on broadband even more because children will be doing their homework over the internet while we will be downloading more films and television.
"It will be worth the effort and once it is operating I expect the number of subscribers will double."
Lee Rennie, 34, who runs his own web design firm from his home just outside Appleton, is delighted with the propsect of the new service.
He said: "I am probably the furthest house away from the telephone exchange, so my broadband is even slower than elsewhere in the village.
"It has been very difficult to run my business as I need to upload and download all the time and I have spent hundreds of pounds on mobile broadband and a business package. This new system will make a massive difference."
Mr Hare, who has previously lived in Appleton, has successfully set up a similar scheme for a village in Rutland and expects Gigaclear to grow from 11 staff to 20 by the end of the year.
He said: "This service will be among the fastest in the country and will be continually upgraded. In five years time we could be delivering 10,000 mbps."

HUNDREDS of families living in Cradley Heath and Blackheath are being offered free expert travel advice to get them to swap their cars for alternative transport.
Transport authority Centro is providing free personal packs for homes along parts of the busy No. 4 bus route as part of the Smart Network project which aims to reduce congestion and carbon emissions.
Over the next five months, up to 5,000 households along the route will be visited by expert travel advisers to help those wanting to make the switch to public transport, car-sharing, walking or cycling.
Expert advisers will be on the streets on Saturday, May 5 in Blackheath and Cradley Heath to draw up bespoke travel packs for local residents.
Rachel Evans, Centro's education and community team leader, said: "Helping people to make more informed decisions about the travel options which are available to them can have a positive impact on their lives.
"We have already invested into improving infrastructure in this area to reduce the congestion that can sometimes occur and bespoke travel advice can support this."
Centro will be holding an exhibition on April 24 at Cradley Heath High Street between 12pm and 6pm to give residents the chance to find out more about the project.
In addition to tailored travel packs, the advisers will provide support including free public transport tickets, adult cycle training and local community guides.
Nick Bubalo, Sandwell's director of regeneration, said: "This scheme is an excellent way of telling residents about the benefits of public transport. Expert advice from Centro could not only help residents find new and cost effective ways of travelling, but cut congestion on major routes in Sandwell."

AS NATIONAL Gallery of Victoria attendants yesterday unwrapped and hung one of its most precious exhibits in the forthcoming Napoleon: Revolution to Empire winter blockbuster, they may have thought that the emperor was less than life size.
Napoleon Bonaparte crossing the Alps painted in 1803 by Jacques-Louis David is borrowed from the Palace of Versailles museum near Paris and measures 2.6 metres high and 2.2 metres wide. But would the man himself be miffed that his heroic pose features him as slightly under life-size, as he forges his way south to the Battle of Marengo in Italy in 1800 to vanquish Austrian forces?
Not at all, according to Dr Ted Gott, the NGV's head curator of international art and co-curator of the exhibition. ''Napoleon was 169 centimetres tall, which was about the average height of the time,'' he said.
Napoleon's size is one of the many myths that surrounds the soldier who became France's emperor only a few years after its citizens had smashed the old monarchy. There are more Napoleonic myths in this painting, which is one of five versions held in European museums.
''He crossed the alps on a mule and not a beautiful steed because horses would have broken their legs,'' Dr Gott said. ''Mules were the only way across the rocky terrain and the horses were led across.''
The same goes for his uniform. ''His generals wore their full dress in battle but Napoleon always wore a plain grey overcoat to distinguish himself from the others,'' Dr Gott said.
But his famous hat worn on its side rather than pointed ahead was accurate. It was Napoleon's way of setting himself apart from the crowd.
The snow in the painting, however, is an embellishment. ''It was actually rather clement when he crossed the alps. Of the five versions this is perhaps the best because of the dark, stormy, wintry weather,'' said Dr Gott who added that Napoleon's regal pose in the picture was part of his ''PR spin'' in winning over the French people.
''This painting was a great piece of propaganda.''
Napoleon: Revolution to Empire opens on June 2. The Age is a sponsor of the exhibition.

It is well-documented that our modern healthcare system is not economically sustainable.
Mentioned less frequently than other reasons is the cost to simply keep the lights on.
Healthcare facilities consume large amounts (greater than 8%) of the nation's energy and also create close to 8% of its carbon dioxide emissions, according to the U.S. Department of Energy Information Agency.
Mounting research shows a parallel between the environment and the very ailments that hospitals manage, such as cancer and respiratory diseases.

Nurses work to shape public policy on the inextricable link between human and environmental health.
Environmental Impacts
In April of 2012, the Healthier Hospitals Initiative was launched to offer hospitals a straightforward method to both improve health and produce savings while providing quality care.
It's a call to action for the entire healthcare industry to support a more sustainable business model, one that addresses health and environmental impacts.
"Hospitals can no longer afford to be out of sync in their day-to-day work of healing and treating and the environmental impact they have in communities across the country," Knox Singleton, chief executive officer of Inova Health System in Falls Church, VA, said in a press release.
"By reducing waste and conserving energy, among other challenges, we cannot only reduce operational costs, we can improve the health of people in our communities before they ever enter a hospital."
Take a Deep Breath
Healthcare organizations that use less energy from cleaner sources can decrease the emissions they discharge and reduce the risk of respiratory illness, in addition to helping their bottom line.
By reducing their environmental impacts, participating hospitals will be protecting the health of their patients, employees and communities.
Many healthcare organizations that have joined the Healthier Hospitals Initiative have improved environmental sustainability and reduced operations costs by making low- or no-cost modifications.
Through adopting the Initiative's Leaner Energy Challenge, healthcare organizations receive guidance and support while striving to decrease energy consumption; improve energy efficiency; invest in cleaner, eco-friendly energy alternatives; and save a drastic amount of money on energy costs.
Healthier Hospitals Initiative challenges hospitals to sign a pledge and commit to one or more of the following six "challenge" areas:
1. Engaged Leadership - "supporting the institutionalization of an organization-wide sustainability initiative."
Survey Results!
Large and small nursing teams receive recognition and win work gear in ADVANCE-partnered contest.
Research has revealed that roughly 75 percent of all healthcare costs go towards the treatment of chronic diseases.1 Addressing root causes allows participants to reduce this burden.

I have a lot of peeves about airports, like almost everybody. One of them is the constant flow of public address announcements. They make it hard to read, work or concentrate for many people. Certainly it's hard to sleep. It's often even hard to have a phone call with the announcements in the background.
One solution to this is the premium airline lounges. These are announcement-free, but you must watch the screens regularly to track any changes. And of course they cost a lot of money, and may be far from your gate.
Some airlines have also improved things by putting up screens at the gates that list the status of standby passengers and people waiting for upgrades. This also saves them a lot of questions at the gate, which is good.
But it's not enough. Yet, even in a cheap restaurant, they often have a solution. They give you a special pager programmed to summon you when your table or food is ready. It vibrates (never beeps) and they are designed to stack on top of one another for recharging.
Airports could do a lot better. Yes, they could hand you an electronic pager instead of/in addition to a boarding pass. This could be used to signal you anywhere in the airport. It could have an active RFID to allow you to walk though an automatic gate onto the plane with no need for even a gate agent, depositing the pager as you board.
Each pager could also know where it is in the airport. Thus a signal could go out about the start of boarding, and if your pager is not at the gate, it could tell the airline where you are. If you're in the security line, it might tell you to show the pager to somebody who can get you through faster (though of course if you make this a regular thing that has other downsides.) read more »

Goose Bay State Game Refuge
Wildlife Viewing
The Goose Bay State Game Refuge, a lesser-known site among Alaska's thirty-two state wildlife refuges and sanctuaries, is located in Upper Cook Inlet across Knik Arm from Anchorage. Each spring and fall, the refuge hosts a spectacular number of geese as they rest and feed on their way to and from northern nesting grounds.
Mid-April to mid-May is an excellent time to see Canada, snow, and occasionally white-fronted geese at the refuge. During spring migration, trumpeter and tundra swans can also be seen in the thousands.
The l0,880-acre refuge includes wetlands surrounding Goose Creek, low-lying inland shrubs, and coastline affected by Knik Arm's powerful tides. This diverse landscape attracts mallards, green-winged teal, pintails, northern shovelers, snipe, and yellowlegs. Sandhill cranes have also been seen here.
Scan willow shrubs for moose from April through June. This is calving season and the willow growth provides food and cover for cows with calves. Muskrat, mink, black and brown bears, coyote, red fox, and an occasional lynx have also been seen on the refuge.
Viewing and Safety Tips
Off-road use of motorized vehicles is restricted in the refuge. Check with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game office in Palmer or Anchorage for motorized vehicle restrictions and hunting seasons. There are no developed facilities in the refuge but two marked access points with parking areas and marked trails provide easy walking in the refuge. Those who are more adventurous can access the coastal marsh in the refuge from these parking areas and trails. Safety precautions along Knik Arm shoreline are essential. Incoming tides are high and move extremely fast. An unwary adventurer can easily get trapped in the sticky mud of Knik Arm.
Road access to the Goose Bay State Game Refuge is from several points along the "old Burma Road" at the end of Knik/Goose Bay Road. Knik/Goose Bay Road is accessed from Wasilla, which is about a 45-minute drive along the Glenn Highway from Anchorage. Goose Bay is another 25 minutes from Goose Bay Road.

Established in 2005, Espiritu de Argentina is a joint venture between Chilean wine producer, Aresti, owner of the Espiritu brand, and Finca Agostina in Mendoza. The fruit is sourced mainly from the Maipu district of Mendoza, from a combination of Agostina's own vineyards and a number of top rated independent growers, whose total production is purchased each year as part of a long-term relationship, enabling the company to ensure quality consistently. Located in Barrancas with a total crush capacity of 3.5 million litres, the modern winery is medium sized and geared to making fresh, fruit driven wines in the lower price spectrum.
The ranges originate mainly from Eastern Mendoza, one of the 5 'oases' of Mendoza Province and also from the Uco Valley. At between 1,000-1,500 metres above sea level, where they have abundant sunshine, dry air (and thus very little in the way of pests and diseases common to vines grown in other countries), and where they carefully irrigate the vines so that the fruit reaches optimum ripeness and quality for production. They are amongst the highest vineyards in the world. Their philosophy is simply to make the very best wines that nature will allow, each year, and to be true to their magnificent and historic terroir, whilst offering the best possible value to consumers.
Jon Usabiaga began his career as winemaker's assistant at Viña Portal del Alto, owned by the prominent oenologist Alejandro Hernández – the first Chilean to hold a seat at the board of the OIV (Office International de la Vigne et du Vin). Then Jon was appointed chief winemaker at Luis Felipe Edwards in 1996, where he worked for almost 10 years. He joined their team in December 2005. His work has been profoundly recognized after receiving numerous awards and medals for his high-quality wines.
This Sauvignon Blanc is made from 100% hand-picked grapes, from Curico, Chile, which underwent double-selection to ensure that only high quality grapes were used. They were pressed gently and fermented at a low temperature of 13 degrees C, to secure freshness and full aromatic expression.
An intense nose of fruit with herbaceous notes – citrus, mango, peach and fig – blend seamlessly and are perfectly complemented by fresh herbs and green pea aromas. This is a distinctive white with a lovely spicy freshness, firm acidity and a long, well balanced finish. Unassuming and delicious.

It's colloquially well known that women can feel competition from other women, as this scene from "Sex and the City" shows:
Charlotte: "I just know no matter how good I feel about myself, if I see Christy Turlington, I just want to give up!"
Miranda: "Well, I just want to tie her down and force-feed her lard, but that's the difference between you and me."
While Charlotte wants to bow out of the mating game altogether, Miranda wants to force her competitors to become obese, with the implication that they would then be out of the mating game.
The exchange illustrates what Darwin called sexual selection: The selection pressures exerted on individuals in the struggle to find a mate. Darwin described two processes: male-male competition and female choice. They explain why males have evolved elaborate structures either for fighting other males (like the horns on a stag beetle's head) or for attracting females (like the peacock's tail).
But the "Sex and the City" episode highlights a different aspect of sexual selection. In this case it is women who are competing, not men. That's because sexual selection doesn't always mean males compete and females choose. If the conditions are right, males can be choosy about who they mate with (yes, really) and females may compete among themselves. In New York City, where there is reportedly a shortage of heterosexual men, women may be more than usually competitive.
While the writers of "Sex and the City" recognize this, and female-female competition had been reported in other animals such as baboons, no one had formally reported on the process in humans until last week, in a paper in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.
Maryanne Fisher, from York University in Toronto, Canada, compared how women in periods of high and low fertility rated the attractiveness of other women's faces. She found that women in a highly fertile/high estrogen period of their menstrual cycle rated other women's facial attractiveness significantly lower than women in a less fertile/low estrogen period of the cycle.
"Evolutionary theory predicts female intrasexual competition will occur when males of high genetic quality are considered a resource," said Fisher, concurring with what could be called the "Sex and the City hypothesis."
To test the hypothesis she selected 104 first-year students (57 women and 47 men) to take part in her test. In her selection, Fisher excluded females who were pregnant, were using or had used oral or intravenous contraceptives in the previous three months, had used antidepressant drugs, missed an ovulatory cycle in the last 12 months or were not heterosexual. Likewise, nonheterosexual males were also not allowed in the test.
The students were shown a set of photographs of 35 female and 30 male faces and asked to rate the attractiveness of the faces. Each face was presented in a random order on a laptop computer and the students used a seven-point scale from "extremely unattractive" to "extremely attractive." Ratings and response times were recorded. In addition the women students indicated where they were in their ovulatory cycle.
Women's rating of male facial attractiveness remained almost identical during periods of high and low fertility. Interestingly, in both cases women's rating of male facial attractiveness was much lower than their rating of women. And the average rating of men's facial attractiveness by men themselves was slightly higher than the women's average rating of males.
But how does running down the looks of another woman help in sexual competition? What happened to the idea of sisterhood?
"One potential strategy for competition is competitor derogation using tactics to make a rival inferior to oneself," said Fisher. "Devaluing the facial attractiveness of a same-sex rival would indicate this phenomena occurring and it was further hypothesized that during periods of high fertility — when the potential for conception and competition for a 'good mate' was greatest — women would be most critical of a rival's appearance."
And Fisher's results appear to support this conclusion.
"The theory of intrasexual competition in women has been controversial, but this study shows that women's perceptions of potential rivals' attractiveness is considerably altered depending on the state of their own fertility. This demonstrates a potential intrasexual competitive process," said Fisher.
Fisher hopes to extend the work into a social context. "It would be interesting to study what women say about each other in a normal, social environment and how this changes with the state of their fertility," she said. "Women are very willing to talk about these things and volunteer readily for these studies."
Any plans Fisher may have had to augment her academic wages with a consultancy role on "Sex and the City," however, will come to nothing. The award-winning series finishes this year. But then again, there's talk of taking it to the big screen.

FROM the school corridors to sailing on the Welsh coast there is quite a difference for retiring head teacher Jon Sharples.
For today, Friday, he takes his final assembly at Sir Thomas Boteler CE High School where he has led for the past 13 years.
And during his time in charge the 59-year-old has seen the school convert to a Church of England School, become a specialist music school and help launch the UK arm of an international leadership programme for young people.
But first things first will be the goodbyes.
He said: "It's going to be an emotional time. I have invested so much of my life in this school.
"I'm really proud of the school, the children and the staff. It's a fantastic place and it will be quite a wrench to say goodbye."
Jon, who has been teaching for 37 years, has overseen the school's greater role in the community it serves during his tenure.
"We wanted to make the school more into a community school. It was quite inward facing and the building of the ball hall and opening up the school fields to football teams and archery clubs helped.
"One of the big features of the community role now is the annual music festival Boteler Out Loud.
"I think a school should be a resource for the community after its primary use to educate children."
Jon will remain in charge until GCSE results day next month when he then hands over the role to his current deputy Bev Scott-Heron.
And then as well as spending more time with his Liverpool based family and taking up sailing.
He will also be looking to spend more time on Hoby UK - a leadership programme for young people he started up at the school in 2007.
"I'm going to continue taking Hoby forward now I should have the time to develop it more fully.
"It's got to the stage some of the young people who first took part are helping me run the programme in a senior level.
"One of the first people to go through is now going on to study for her phd and she is still involved." But first he will be taking to the sea in a catamaran in Anglesey first for his summer break.

Suresnes, France, January 4, 2011 - Servier and XOMA Ltd., a leader in the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies, today announced the signing of an agreement to jointly develop and commercialize XOMA 052, XOMA's anti-inflammatory drug candidate, in multiple indications. XOMA 052 is designed to inhibit the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta that is believed to be a primary trigger of pathologic inflammation in multiple diseases. Servier will fund the first $50 million of XOMA 052 development expenses and 50% of further expenses for the Behcet's uveitis indication. XOMA 052 is expected to advance into Phase 3 development in Behcet's uveitis in 2011. Servier will fund development for diabetes and cardiovascular disease indications.
In 2011, Servier and XOMA expect to hold discussions with multiple regulatory agencies to initiate Phase 3 studies of XOMA 052 in Behçet's uveitis, a debilitating ophthalmic inflammatory condition that often leads to vision-threatening complications including blindness. XOMA 052 has already received orphan drug designations for Behçet's disease from regulators in the European Union and in the USA.
"XOMA 052 gives us a later-stage asset to develop for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which are both areas of strength for us, as well as for rare diseases," said Emmanuel Canet, M.D., Ph.D., Servier's President, Research and Development. "With this therapeutic antibody designed to inhibit interleukin-1 beta we are reinforcing our strategy in the field of biologics and developing novel approaches aimed at treating severe diseases. We are especially eager to shepherd the development of XOMA 052 for the treatment of patients with Behçet's uveitis, a population that has very few options and may face eventual blindness."
About Behçet's Disease
Behçet's disease causes chronic inflammation of the blood vessels, or vasculitis, among other complications. Uveitis is a vasculitis of the blood vessels in the eye which can be vision-threatening. Behcet's uveitis is one of the most severe forms of uveitis which can lead to blindness and affects approximately 60% of Behcet's disease patients.
There are at least 250,000 patients diagnosed with Behcet's disease worldwide. Onset of the disease occurs most commonly in adults in their twenties, thirties and forties, and is typically more severe in men.
Without immediate treatment, major exacerbations of Behçet's uveitis may lead to retinal detachment, macular edema, vitreous hemorrhage, glaucoma and eventual blindness. The effects of these exacerbations on vision are cumulative. Patients often experience multiple exacerbations per year, requiring treatment to control the frequency and severity of attacks of this chronic disease.

All summer, celebs have been stepping out with rainbow-bright-pink or cool, pastel-purple hair. (We're looking at you, Nicole Richie.) While we're tempted to test-drive it for a girls' night out or weekend music festival, it's not necessarily a look we're comfortable keeping come Monday morning. read more
Every summer, I'm bombarded with magazine spreads and YouTube tutorials on how to get the perfect beach waves -- and I devour every one of them. I buy salt spray and sit religiously in front of my vanity trying to create those perfectly undone, (seemingly) low-maintenance waves. Summer beach waves may be considered a "quick and easy" hairstyle, but my limp, un-waved hair insists otherwise. Enter the hair geniuses at Salon Mario Russo in Boston. Owner and lead stylist Mario Russo has created three out-of-the-box techniques for creating beach waves that will work on even the straightest hair, guaranteed. And get this -- you don't need a curling iron, wand or automatic machine doo-dad to get the look. Get ready to have your world rocked, and your waves turned seriously beachy. read more
I have a thing for Pinterest hairstyles. I'm constantly pinning red carpet hairstyles, runway ponytails and anything that looks like it could make my hair even remotely resemble that of a Victoria's Secret model. The thing is -- I haven't accomplished a single one of them. Instead, my attempts end with me showing up late to work in a messy topknot ... again. And I know there have to be others who have the same frustrations (there's a whole website dedicated to Pinterest fails, after all). So we collaborated with a team of celebrity hairstylists to break down the products and step-by-step instructions you need to get that perfect Pinterest hairstyle every time. read more
Send Your Blowdryer Packing for the Summer Without Suffering from Withdrawals
Pumping piping hot air into your house during the dog days of summer isn't the brightest idea to begin with, but factor in the knowledge that repeatedly exposing your hair to high temps isn't doing it any favors in the look-good department and taking a break from your blow dryer can seem like a downright inspired concept. Except for the whole "my hair's going to look like cr**" drawback. read more
It takes a special kind of gal to wake up in the morning, give her hair a quick fluff or twist and head out the door looking genuinely hot. Most of us would get a sympathetic look, an inquiry about our general health or possibly a request to undergo a drug test. That's because that just-rolled-out-of-bed hair usually translates to just-rolled-off-a-garbage-truck hair in real life. But what if you could make bedhead work for, not against you? What if you could take that natural-texture, cool-fuzziness thing you've got going on in the A.M. and make it look chic -- without a lot of fuss? Try these quick styles and little tweaks for making the most of your slept-in locks. read more
I blame Zooey Deschanel for the moment I walked into the hair salon and proclaimed I wanted blunt cut bangs just like the actress. Sure they were cute and trendy for all of 20 minutes, but then came about three years of growing out those bangs and zero knowledge of how I could style them during that awkward growing-out phase (This was pre-Pinterest mind you). Thus, I'm not going to let any of our readers suffer through growing out bangs like I did. These quick and easy hairstyles get those bangs out of your face and out of your eyes. Whether you're looking for an updo, down 'do, casual style or hairdo for an evening out, there's an easy hairstyle for anyone growing out her bangs. Remember, this too shall pass. read more
They say wearing workout clothes makes you more than twice as likely to actually work out. We say throw a neat hairstyle on top, and you've got a girl ready to sweat up a storm. read more
Hair accessories are basically jewelry for your hair -- which might explain why we just can't get enough. They're a quick way to add color and personality to basic hairstyles. Pop a Swarovski-encrusted comb alongside a topknot, and suddenly you're a modern day Holly Golightly. Throw a patterned turban over beach-y waves for an instant dose of bohemian cool. read more
Most women are constantly looking for new hairstyles -- whether it's to reinvent the way they look or for a special occasion. Each person is different, and choosing the right hairstyles to fit them will depend on the person's face shape, hair texture, and the occasion. If you're planning to spend the day at the mall or hang out at your friend's place watching movies, then you'll want to choose hairstyles which are relaxed and casual, and easy to maintain. On the other hand, occasions like weddings or prom demand more elaborate hairstyles, like beautiful updos that are elegant and complement your dress and accessories.

The bumpy road Ruben Silvas Jr. took to Fairbanks, Alaska, is a bit like the road to Tohono O'odham Community College, where Silvas started his college basketball career.
Getting to the college means crossing the Sonoran Desert, driving past the cacti and the horses and the cow-crossing signs, past the Border Patrol checkpoints, past the store with a helicopter and race car on its roof, the one that makes TOCC basketball coach Matthew Vargas say, "Only in Three Points, brother."
The tiny town is about a third of the way from Tucson, where Silvas was raised, to TOCC, where he thrived — and about 3,700 miles south of his future home.
In a few months, he'll pack up his things and head north, far north, to represent himself, his parents, his school and his teammates, with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks.
The guard will also represent the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, 100 of whose members have gathered at Casino del Sol this spring day for his signing ceremony over mini croissants and cantaloupe. Tribal leaders say Silvas is the first member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe to earn a college basketball scholarship.
"Every day around Ruben was better," Vargas says through pauses and tears. "We've been blessed to have him in this program. He did not come here and have it all figured out … but he stayed the course, worked and worked and worked, and he made a plan to have success."
The ceremony ends with a standing ovation for Silvas, and Vargas stands nearby, biting his bottom lip.
"Man, he scored 12 points a game," the coach dead-pans later. "I wasn't crying because I'll miss him, I was crying because I need those points back."
Ruben Silvas Sr. saw greatness in his son way back at Chaparral Middle School on the south side, where Little Ruben "did things no other kids were doing."
His mother, Alva Chavez, knew even sooner.
"At the T-ball field, he wouldn't let any of the other kids play," she remembers. "He'd run from first base to third base to get the ball, because nobody else knew what they were doing. He got mad because we had to tell him, 'You have to let people play!' He was 5."
Big Ruben ran a men's team at the Pascua Yaqui rec center and Little Ruben banged around with the adults, taking a pounding but always getting up. By his first year at Tucson High School, he was good enough to make the freshman team, but he didn't get much playing time. He gave up basketball his sophomore year but returned for his junior year. He was also a constant presence at the rec center, where he eventually got a job working with kids.
One day in July 2010, while playing basketball with some friends, Silvas felt a pain in his chest. He gasped for air. His mother rushed him to the hospital, where she was blindsided.
"The doctor was even shocked; 'You are not going to believe this, but his lung is collapsed,' " she remembers. " 'What do you mean?' I say, and the doctor says, 'I'm just as blown away as you are.' "
Tests revealed a genetic condition called Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that most often results in heart and aorta defects. Another hazard: sudden pneumothorax, collapsed lung, after too much air or gas builds up between the lungs and chest wall.
Over the next 18 months, Silvas' lungs collapsed three more times, requiring three surgeries, the last of them in January 2012. He was laid up for a month, weak and weary, depressed and gray.
He wondered how often this would happen. He asked, "Why me?" His biggest passion, basketball, was slipping away, along with any dreams of furthering his education.
Gradually, his younger brothers and sisters pried him off the couch. One day, he poked Ruben Sr.
" 'Hey Dad, let's go to the gym,' and it was like, 'Let's go!" Ruben Sr. says. "At first, he took it slow. He got his breath, went full speed. Full court. He hit the weights. It was a big relief."
His body healing and now emboldened with a new outlook, Silvas began to challenge himself. He played more and more basketball, felt his lungs expanding. He took in the air.
By June 2012, he was strong and hungry once more. He was at the gym all the time, but tired of playing rec center ball. From an old high school teammate, he heard about an open gym tryout at TOCC.
"I got a second chance," he thought at the time. "I want to make the most of it."
Vargas knew in an instant.
"When you see it, you know it," he says over double bacon cheeseburgers as he remembers the first time he saw Silvas play. "Someone on his team threw a bad pass, Ruben ran down the floor and the guy who made the steal, very talented, thought he was going to lay it up nice and easy, look cool.
"Here comes this skinny, little guy running down the floor full-blast. Everyone else had given up on the play, and he beat the dude down the floor and stuffed him off the glass. It was like, 'That's the kid I want.' "
It would have to wait.
Before his freshman season with the Jegos, Silvas broke his shooting wrist and he was sidelined once more. He was scared to tell Vargas of the injury, fearing the coach would cut him from the team. Vargas didn't, but the two agreed that Silvas would skip the season.
Game 1 of 2012, against Northern Idaho in Yuma. TOCC lost by 36 points. Silvas watched in agony and begged Vargas to play, to burn the redshirt. The wrist felt good enough to play, good enough to not sit idly by and watch the team lose by 36 points.
He walked up to Vargas and simply said, "We can't have that." Vargas looked him up and down, told him to get into the car. They drove all around Yuma, looking for a doctor. Finally they found one willing to do an exam.
"Can you clear him?"
"You got $25?"
For the price of two movie tickets, Silvas was cleared. Vargas drove back to the hotel, did the necessary paperwork, and Silvas was set. The next night, in a seven-point loss to Utah State-Eastern, Silvas played nine minutes, scoring three points. Over the next several months, his game improved; he scored double-figures against Little Big Horn College a few weeks later and 19 against Eastern Arizona a week after that.
By the final games of the season, Vargas saw a player good enough to jump to the next level. Against Phoenix College on Feb. 6, 2013, Silvas scored 11 points and helped hold star guard Chris Solomon to just 19 points. A month earlier, Solomon scored 39 against the Jegos in a 34-point win.
One play, Solomon brought the ball up court, talking smack like he had all game, before Silvas abruptly picked his pocket at half court, took off up the right sideline, looked over and saw Solomon coming, "mad like a bull," Vargas says, "and Ruben rose up and just put it on him."
Vargas' jaw dropped at the dunk.
"Everyone on the bench jumped up and went nuts," Vargas says, "and I was just like … 'Wow,' just … 'Wow. ' "
Silvas still wasn't sold on himself, and his attitude in the classroom reflected it. After scoring nearly 10 points a game as a freshman, with a high of 20 against Central Arizona, he asked Vargas what he'd have to do to draw some of the attention his teammates were getting.
Raise your grades, the coach told him.
"2.5 don't get it done, homie," Vargas said.
Silvas boosted his GPA from roughly 2.3 as a freshman to 3.75 as a sophomore. His production increased, too, up to 12 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game.
It was during a trip to Seattle in December that Silvas truly took flight.
On a three-game swing in the Pacific Northwest, he dropped any hesitancy to push himself or to shoot, from inside and out. He caught the eye of Alaska-Fairbanks coach Mick Durham. Durham was there to see other players, but ended up telling Vargas, "Yeah, yeah, what about the Silvas kid?" He got Ruben's number, and started texting him.
That's when Silvas knew this was real.
"When the season started, I doubted myself," Silvas says. "I didn't think I was good enough. Coach reminded me I could play. Just play. I got tired of not getting looked at. For some reason, I always had doubt in the back of my head, and that would mess up my game. But once I saw myself do that up in Seattle, it started clicking."
The scrawny kid who came to TOCC at 155 pounds with weak lungs and a weaker wrist, who barely played high school basketball and wasn't sure if he'd ever go to college, was ready to fulfill a dream.
At his signing ceremony, Silvas is feted by friends, family and tribal members.
One takes the podium to offer an Our Father and Hail Mary in the Yaqui language, another suggests that family send blankets to Silvas up in the tundra.
Silvas made an official visit to Alaska in late March and loved it. He liked the snow, called his coach about the reindeer — "Dude, they're so big!" — and called his dad to tell him that the sun doesn't set until 9, 10 p.m.
He likes that he'll be able to almost roll out of bed and into the gym. That's a major plus — right now, TOCC practices at Baboquivari High School, 25 miles away in Topawa. The players are rousted at around 5 a.m., shuttled to practice and back to campus before classes start. He's excited about the food options, as TOCC is not exactly adjacent to a mall food court. There are no major corporations on tribal land; the nearest fast food is miles away.
He's nervous to leave home but excited for the endeavor. He knows he's bringing with him the hopes of an entire people.
"We were so blessed when Coach Matthew came over and explained the scholarship," says tribal chairman Peter Yucupicio, who adds that nearly 700 children in the tribe participate in athletics.
"I said, 'Oh my God, you have no idea how important this is,' " Yucupicio said. "He is the first brick in this house that we're going to build on athletics."
When it is finally Silvas' turn to address the huge crowd, he stands tall and proud in a light blue shirt and tie. He has his hands shoved in his pocket and a shy smile on his face.
The weight of this achievement isn't lost on Silvas. He knows that as the first person in his family to attend a four-year institution, and as one of the first Pascua Yaqui members to earn a college athletics scholarship, that he will be looked to.
"Everybody keeps telling me I'm the first, but I want to say, I won't be the last," he says to applause.
That's a message that can start a movement, says tribal council member Rosa Alvarez, who has known Little Ruben since he first came from the hospital with such long arms and long legs.
"To know our family member is doing great things and is taking advantage of this opportunity," Alvarez says, "it gives us … it just gives us hope."

Henderson Scores for Canada
Summit Series eBook (Digital book for your KOBO, tablet, iPhone or iPod Touch)
If you weren't around in 1972, it would be difficult to imagine the emotions experienced by Canadians during the Summit Series between Team Canada and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). This was not just an eight-game hockey tournament; this was western democracy versus the Iron Curtain.
It all came down to Game Eight. Canada won the deciding game by one goal, the Russians pressing the Canadians to the last minute. With 34 seconds left in the tied game, Paul Henderson came onto the ice replacing Peter Mahovlich. Henderson jumped on a rebound off Phil Esposito' s shot, and the winning goal was scored. Canada won the game and the series, but just barely.
Between August 31 and October 2, 1972, Toronto Star reporters, photographers and columnists covered this historic series of 40 years ago. This book includes a selection of their articles and photographs collected from the Toronto Star archives (some images have never been seen by the public) in order to give readers today a glimpse into Canadians' overwhelming confidence before the tournament began, the shock, dismay and anger that resulted when the team began to lose and the jubilation when the team ultimately triumphed.
Beyond this remarkable hockey moment, this collection provides readers with a glimpse into the Canadian psyche at a time when the Soviet Union was an unknown entity hidden behind the Iron Curtain.
Please note: while best efforts have been made to reproduce this archival material accurately, in some instances the original copies are in poor condition and some words may be missing.Toronto Star journalists include: Bob Pennington, Frank Orr, Milt Dunnell, Alexander Ross, Jim Proudfoot, Red Burnett, Ken McKee, Jim Kernaghan, Trent Frayne, Fred Ross, Frank Lennon, Jeff Goode, Boris Spremo, Bob Olsen, Graham Bezant, Cathal Kelly

PALOMAR MOUNTAIN —— Flames burned about 5 acres of brush Sunday on the La Jolla Indian Reservation, causing no injuries or damage to buildings, authorities said.
The fire was reported about 2:30 p.m. on South Grade Road about a mile north of Highway 76, said Larry Craig, a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection dispatcher.
Fire crews from CDF and the U.S. Forest Service had the blaze under control within an hour with the aid of Palomar Mountain, La Jolla Reservation, Pala Reservation and San Pasqual Reservation fire personnel, Craig said.
About 120 firefighters responded along with two air tankers and two helicopters, he said.
Crews were expected to be finished mopping up Sunday evening, Craig said.
The cause of the fire was being sought Sunday.

Dear Aunty,
I don't think you're my Aunty any more. Maggie & Simon have made such a differenc....
To view full entry click here
Salt, 1 dessertspoon of salt per lemon, plus one for the jar
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preserving jars
Use thick-skinned lemons cut into quarters. Place the lemons, flesh side down, in the jar, sprinkling each quarter with salt as you add it to the jar.
For every lemon use a good dessertspoon of salt, and one for the jar.
When the jar is full, press right down on the lemons to squeeze as much juice out, filling the jar with more slices, again squeezing right down. Then immerse all the lemons by topping up the jar with fresh lemon juice. Use what Simon calls, 'pizza tables', (the little plastic device to stop takeaway pizza topping from sticking to the cardboard lid). These hold the lemon quarters under the lemon juice. Put a lid on the jar and 6-8 weeks later they will be ready to use.
