Lately, I've been publishing a lot of Cherry Blossom themed posts (May Day gift & Cherry Almond Pound Cake)... Cherry Blossoms will always have a sweet spot in my heart. Two years ago I tagged along with Mike on a work trip to DC that happened to be during the Cherry Blossom Festival. We'd just recently moved to the Boston area and were living in a temporary apartment in Cambridge. It was the beginning of April and spring was still a couple of weeks away in New England. I was experiencing a whole mix of emotion during our move - excitement, doubt and freedom as we started out on our "life vacation." The weather was particularly dreary and grey in our new "home" and I was desperate to get out of town... even though we'd just gotten there.
When I arrived in DC, I remember feeling a wave of relief as I saw green grass, leaves on trees and felt the warmth of the sun. The weather was perfect and the entire Capitol (cherry blossoms included) was in bloom.
As you might recall from that blog post, that day I talked about stopping in Sprinkles for a Cherry Cupcake... then going back later that night for another. Somewhere between the two cherry blossom cupcakes I took... a pregnancy test. Even though Emma wasn't actually conceived while we were there, it is the time and place I'll always remember becoming a Mom.
Now my little girl is such a girl...
...who puts out her little hand every time she sees something that resembles a bracelet as if she's saying, "Oh you found my bangle!"
They're in shades of white and pink - all stages of bloom.
These almost look like mini peonies.
There are thousands of trees - they were a gift to the US from Japan in the early 1900's. They were a gift of friendship.
Many cameras were out...
The branches are so soft and full looking.
Just the slightest shade of light pink.
Sprinkles is one of my favorite chain cupcake bakeries. The Georgetown location had a cherry flavor in honor of the Cherry Blossoms.
It was delicious - in fact, I ate the first one before I thought of taking a photo. After I ate it on the walk home, I made Mike go back with my later for another - so I could get a photo... and another cupcake. I'm planning a cherry cupcake recipe soon.
Mike got a Marshmallow Filled Chocolate - tasted like a Hostess Cupcake.
After the Tidal Basin I headed to The White House. This is the US Treasury building that sits next to the White House. This tulip magnolia tree was one of the most brilliant in the city and the grass the most lush.
Look at the softness - such thick and elegant blooms.
Quite amazing.
Here is the White House with a pale pink tulip magnolia tree in bloom.
This is the Kitchen Garden at The White House - one of the First Lady's Healthy Kids' initiatives.
It was a very neat garden - I am planning something similar.
This was the plaque in front of the garden said, "...now I shall plant, if at all, more for the public than for myself."
The White House, while very grand, is dwarfed in DC by all of the enormous buildings. It does, very much, seem like a house...
I was almost envious of the grounds crew - what a fun job!
Pansies and grape hyacinth were stuffed into every planter, welcoming in Spring.
I stopped by one of my favorite museums - The American Craft museum.
Look how the gold framed paintings are arranged on the gallery wall - a trend we see everywhere today.
My favorite was, of course, the cow.
This blown glass exhibit was stunning. The artist copied a Dutch painting of "abundance" all in hand-blown glass.
I was really amazed by the faux wood stained paneling in the grand gallery rooms. I've never seen wood trim and paneling painted in such a convincing way - I'm inspired. I can't wait to mimic this on some of my painted pieces that I'd like to turn into 'stained-wood'.
For the sake of this post, we'll pretend that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing turns out handsome letterpressed stationery and invitations... right?

OK, so check out this amazing Anthropologie-inspired glass ornament chandelier.
Breann and Hillary are co-writing this brand new (and really fabulous) blog called Things We Fancy.
You know what they don't fancy...? That their 2-week old blog that already has a Hater. Seriously? Oy.
Anonymous was unclear about where, exactly, the light source came from in this post....
Yep, the other commenters are right -- this says nothing about where the light actually comes from! To me, it looks like there is one light bulb connected to a simple light fixture, which is wired up to the "light wire" (the electrical wire that sticks out of your ceiling when you remove your old light fixture). I understand she is clueless about "man things"... but COME ON! There is all sorts of information on the internet about how to do it. Don't be helpless. And at least tell your poor readers where the light is coming from! (e.g., it's not coming from Christmas lights inside of each ornament.)
As a woman and a crafter, I resent this stereotypical helplessness!
Our Slammed Bloggers Say:
Oh, Hey ANONYMOUS! Nice of you to stop by with your cynicism. We're actually pretty impressed that our blog has been live for less than 2 weeks and we already got a rude anonymous comment! Looks like we're doing something right!
You're right, we should have been a little more clear as to the light fixture in the chandelier. However, if you weren't such a jerk, you'd see in the above comments we explained where the light was coming from to our "poor readers." They were also followed up via e-mail.... that CLEARLY makes them super unfortunate.
Yes, we could have EASILY looked up some YouTube video on how to install a light wire, but what's the point if you already have someone there who knows how to do it?! If your husband was a mechanic and you had a blown transmission, would you go take classes on how to fix it yourself? No, because that's freaking dumb. You're right though, asking a husband to install a wire because he knows how and I don't want to electrocute myself makes me totally helpless.
As women and crafters, we resent your stereotypical anonymous comment!
Viv Says:
Perhaps Anonymous needs more than one light bulb to read by...? Because it was clear to me in the text of the post that there is one wire/one light bulb illuminating the chandy. (And let's say i didn't read it 2 gud: there's a pitchur of a single bulb in the middle a'that cluster o' or-nam-nets...) Perhaps negativity impairs your vision?
Additionally, it seemed pretty obvious that the line about "asking a man for help" was pretty tongue in cheek. These gals seem far from helpless. Poking around their newly formed blog, I can tell that I will be a frequent visitor due to their innovation, inspiration and utter lack of Helpless Female Syndrome.
Anonymous? As a woman and a crafter, I resent that you let your snarky, holier than thou, Gloria Steinem-ish nature take over and tried to tear down other women, rather than support them. So much for us girls trying to stick together. Boo to you.
Mandi Says:
What. The Crap. You know what I think this is? I think this is a case of "Someone got to a project before I could"-itis. Which is the technical term when seeing a really great knockoff project that you had on your 15 mile long to do list, and being jerkish and lashing out that someone made it before you did. This projects is super cool and CLEARLY you can tell that there is just one light bulb in it...let me refresh your memory:
Yup pretty sure they aren't all filled with Christmas lights...
What do You say?

31 People Died from Work Injuries in South Dakota in 2011
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says 31 people died from work injuries in South Dakota during 2011.
The preliminary numbers show that the number of work-related fatalities in the state decreased by five from the previous year.
Of the 31 fatalities, 14 were from transportation incidents. The agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry had the largest number of fatalities in the state with eight.
The majority of people who died in South Dakota during 2011 from workplace injuries were white non-Hispanics men who worked for wages and salaries.

Thanks to Deltec and D-D, MarineDepot.com had several of the new Deltec protein skimmers on display at Reef-A-Palooza.
Since Deltec patented their pinwheel design several years ago, many advances have been made in protein skimmer technology. These brand new skimmers take those advancements and raise the bar even higher.
Most impressive on the new skimmer designs are the pumps. The Eheim pumps that came with the older model Deltecs were great performers for their time, but the new pumps produce an amazing 4x more liters of air per watt!
Several design updates have also made their way into the new Deltecs. Bubble chambers reduce turbulence, allowing for a more compact design while still increasing performance. On the SC models, the pump is placed underneath the skimmer. This increases performance by increasing pressure on the pump and ensuring only unskimmed water is passed through.
Deltec has long been known for their innovation and quality design. These new models look like they will live up to Deltec's reputation. Their high end attention to detail and price tag may not be for every hobbyist, but they certainly deliver high-end performance to match.

My car has been a handfull to say the least. Talking with my uncle and my son over the last year never want to see the car on two wheels twice ever again. Trying to figure the 4 bar set up is not for the novice period! The other night I was on the phone with my Uncle that builds cars for a living and he ended up giving me a great E-mail response to what we need to make the car correct.
After talking to him I called my son and talked about the suspension and what Bill had said. Nick (my son) just about had a cow. He had just read this post from Racing Junk that Ed wrote (Edvanced engines) Boy I miss that guy... So full of knowledge and willing to share!!
My son had read everything what Ed posted almost word for word what my Uncle said. My Uncle has never seen Ed's posts or talked to him.
I just want to give the link so others can get an idea.

OAKLAND — His expression was straight forward. His wording precise. His point emphatic.
Warriors budding star Harrison Barnes said he isn't concerned about whether he starts. He isn't even consumed by being on the court at the end of games.
"Winning the game matters more to me," Barnes said.
Barnes, who started all 93 games he played last season including playoffs, is the center of a major question as the Warriors close in on training camp at the end of this month. With the acquisition of swingman Andre Iguodala, Golden State now has six players with starting credentials, meaning someone has to come off the bench.
Barnes, after his workout at the team facility on Tuesday, didn't mince his words and gave no breath to controversy. He doesn't care. Whatever Mark Jackson decides, he's game.
"I can imagine much worse problems," Barnes said. "I feel confident about this team and where we can go. Regardless if I'm starting or coming off the bench, I think we have a chance to make a serious playoff push."
Barnes' play really took off in the postseason. He averaged 16.1 points and 6.4 rebounds over the two series, against Denver and San Antonio.
What's more, he became a go-to guy in place of injured forward David Lee.
Now Warriors fans are salivating over the possibilities from the 2012 No. 7 overall pick, who won't be 22 until next year's playoffs.
Barnes said he has been working relentless to live up to the expectations. He said he's gotten stronger and worked on his postgame.
That's in preparation for the heavy minutes he is expected to play at power forward, where he thrived in the postseason.
Barnes said he's also improved his ball-handling and getting to his favorite spots on the floor. He's especially worked on his pick-and-roll action, which is a staple in the Warriors offense.
He also listed consistency and better shooting percentage as areas he wants to improve.
"Just be better than I was last year," Barnes said of his individual goal. But, fittingly, before he revealed that, he harped on the greater challenge facing the team.
"We're not going into the season like we were last year," Barnes said, "Saying, 'Let's just roll the dice, see how many games we win and
hope we end up in that eighth seed. Now we have expectations and we're trying to fulfill that."

Car Review
2014 Nissan Pathfinder: New Car Review
Derived from the same front-wheel-drive platform as the Altima sedan, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder bears little resemblance to its boxy predecessors, which featured rear-wheel-drive platforms and available low-range gearing.
Although we've got a soft spot for those old Pathfinders, we understand that they weren't compelling for most families. The 2014 Pathfinder features standard 3-row seating and plenty of technology features, as well as improved driving dynamics and gas mileage. Nissan throws in a smooth ride and a high-quality interior, too. Indeed, we think the Pathfinder is appealing enough to steal some sales from its uptown sibling, the pricier Infiniti JX. A hybrid model debuts later this summer. It promises improved fuel economy without sacrificing interior space to the hybrid's battery packs and components.
With a 5,000-lb tow rating, the Pathfinder can still perform some of the duties expected of a vehicle dubbed an SUV, but its 6.5 inches of ground clearance and car-based platform (not to mention the lack of a proper hi/low transfer case) distance it from the rock-crawling, trailblazing reputation of Pathfinders past. Still, as most families don't require such attributes, we think the majority will find the 2014 Pathfinder a modern, thoroughly competent 3-row crossover. It's a must-drive in this popular segment.
What's New for 2014?
A hybrid model joins the Pathfinder family and offers improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. Also new is the SL Tech Package, which includes Bose audio and Nissan navigation.
What We Like
Flexible 3-row layout; high-quality interior; smooth transmission; carlike underpinnings improve ride and handling
What We Don't
Modest maximum cargo capacity; engine labors with a full load; no longer an off-road champ
How Much?
Fuel Economy
All Pathfinders are powered by Nissan's venerable 3.5-liter V6, which is rated at 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque in this application. A gearless continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is mandatory. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional on every model.
Fuel economy is average-plus at 20 miles per gallon city/26 mpg highway with front-wheel drive. All-wheel-drive models drop to 19 mpg city/25 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
The 3-row 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is offered with either front- or all-wheel drive in four trim levels: S, SV, SL and Platinum.
The S ($29,560) starts with 18-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control, electroluminescent gauges, push-button ignition, cruise control, two 12-volt outlets, a tilt-telescopic steering column, a 4-in color driver information screen, manual front seats with adjustable driver lumbar support, cloth upholstery and a 6-speaker audio system with a 6-CD changer, an auxiliary input jack and steering-wheel-mounted controls.
Note that neither iPod/Bluetooth integration nor towing preparation is offered on the Pathfinder S, the only trim deprived of these features.
The SV ($32,820) adds automatic headlights, roof rails, keyless entry, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a central 7-in information display, a rearview camera with rear parking sensors, two more 12-volt outlets, a power driver's seat, a leather steering-wheel and shift-knob trim and a single-CD audio system with a USB/iPod jack and auxiliary video inputs.
The SL ($35,760) tacks on fog lights, a power lift gate, chrome exterior accents, leather upholstery and door trim, wood-tone inserts, a power passenger's seat, heated front and rear seats, remote start, a universal garage-door opener, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and welcome lighting.
The Platinum ($40,460) tops the range with exclusive 20-in alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel, a hard-drive-based navigation system with an 8-in touchscreen, the Around View 360-degree parking camera system, cooled front seats, a 120-volt outlet, a power tilt-telescopic steering wheel, driver memory functions, a 13-speaker Bose audio system, Bluetooth streaming audio and DVD playback capability.
All-wheel drive adds about $1,600 to the bottom line.
Some higher-end standard features are available as options on cheaper trims. Notable extras, depending on the model and package, include a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Bose 9 speaker audio, Nissan navigation, towing preparation and an entertainment system with twin 7-in screens in the front headrests.
Cargo space measures a handy 16 cu ft behind the third row, 42 to 48 cu ft behind the second row (depending on equipment level) and 79.8 cu ft with both back rows folded down. Given that the similar Highlander offers over 95 cubes of maximum space, we're not blown away by the Pathfinder's practicality, but 80 cubes is still a lot of stuff.
The Pathfinder comes with 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and six airbags, including side airbags for front passengers and full-length side-curtain airbags. Electronic traction and stability control are also standard, as is Hill Start Assist.
Happily, every Pathfinder comes standard with Nissan's nifty Easy-Fill tire alert, which activates while you're adding air and honks the horn when you've reached the recommended pressure reading. Proper tire pressure is a significant factor in vehicle control, so we consider this a very welcome safety feature.
The Pathfinder earned a 4-star overall crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety, with five stars in the side impact test and four stars for front impact and roof strength. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the Pathfinder ratings of Good in the moderate front overlap and side impact tests, but only a Marginal rating for roof strength.
Behind the Wheel
Unless rock-crawling ability is a must, you'll probably find the 2014 Pathfinder a very likable crossover SUV. Like the JX and more distant relatives such as the 2-row Murano, the new Pathfinder pairs a supple ride with good cabin insulation, making for comfortable highway cruising and urban commuting alike. The eerily smooth CVT does its best to keep the V6 in its sweet spot, and it usually succeeds. If you're like us, you'll only wish for more grunt with a full load aboard.
Not surprisingly, the handling is tuned more for safety than for smiles, but the new Pathfinder puts forth a reassuringly carlike stability at speed. Off-road performance is, of course, limited by the Pathfinder's clear preference for pavement, but at least the 4WD LOCK mode helpfully fixes front/rear power distribution at 50/50 for escaping unusually sticky spots.
Other Cars to Consider
Ford Flex -- Days go by and still we think of Ford's gracefully aging 3-row shaggin' wagon. If the Pathfinder's demure V6 gets you down, a Flex with Eco Boost may be the antidote.
Hyundai Santa Fe -- The stylish Santa Fe is available with either two or three seating rows in multiple drivetrain configurations. Its base trims also include Bluetooth as standard equipment.
Toyota Highlander -- Toyota's bread-and-butter crossover has clear advantages under the hood, with either the all-world 3.5-liter V6 or the expensive but rewarding Hybrid power system.
AutoTrader's Advice
The Pathfinder SV has got the best mix, in our opinion. Unless navigation is a must-have, consider saving a bundle and going with this well-equipped, reasonably-priced trim level.

It's been a very tough winter for most Michiganders. However, the historians will tell us that it hasn't been the worst winter, just a bad one.
But I must admit I am amazed at how some winter weather can absolutely paralyze cities that haven't experienced snow and ice very often.
If nothing else, we are creating a bunch of citizens who understand how to prepare and cope with bad winter weather.
Unless you sell salt, snowplows and snowmobiles, you're probably not really excited about the weather we've had the last couple of months. Like any community that has big changes in the weather, there always are businesses that thrive on seasonal changes. I have no doubt that the guy selling motorcycles has put most of them in the basement and his showroom is filled with snowmobiles. My guess is that four-wheel drives are a lot more popular in the winter than in any other time of the year. I can't imagine anyone selling snowplows for trucks any other season.
Over the decades, Detroiters have learned to cope with harsh weather. There was a time for service stations and car dealerships when people would visit in the fall to winterize their cars and put snow tires on for the season. With the advent of front-wheel drive, most cars seem fairly capable of plowing through the snow without any special preparation.
It can't be too long before the basketball and hockey playoffs begin. It's just a matter of days until the first spring training baseball game takes place for the Detroit Tigers.
The biggest challenge the city and state have is fixing the roads to become immune to the weather. We've got some of the worst roads in the country, and that can't help but discourage economic development in our state.
It might make sense for the governor to use a great deal of the state's surplus to improve roads. I can't imagine any citizen who drives on our roads objecting to using that money to improve our infrastructure.
It won't be long before we will have seen the worst winter weather, and we will discover that the Great Lakes might just have a little higher level.
And it won't be too long before the motorcycle dealers have the final sale on snowmobiles and bring out the motorcycles for the summer season.
Meanwhile, we can enjoy the winter Olympics knowing full well that when the Olympics are over, spring can't be far behind.

Well I was expecting a haul from Boots about a week ago, and the courier messed it up so much that I sort of…lost the passion for what was coming but now that it's all here, it's all very exciting!
I bought three of the Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadows. Incase you haven't visited the Urban Decay website, they have some outrageously glam make over looks and one of my favourites included the blue eyeshadow, Narcotic. You can have a peek
Anyway here are the swatches:
I loveeee ABC Gum. I wanted the perfect nude base, that wasn't to warm and wasn't too white and this is it! Even if you apply metallics over it, it's nice to have a clean matte base to work on. The texture of these is very creamy and bright, and Chronic and Narcotic are soft and wearable, maybe because they are devoid of obvious shimmer.
Then there are the 24/7 Eyeliners. I love these, they are truly soft and are so easy to apply and last a long time. I decided to get three shades I don't already have, Dime, Deviant, Honey.
Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitters are a no holds barred striking glittery liner! just a little is enough! This is a gift set was £22 which is saving of about £14.
Here is a swatch of the six items. Deviant is lovely, as is Honey.
Urban Decay have so many tempting bright eyeshadow, and instead of buying a whole lot I noticed these pretty sets which have the best selling shadows (One has the Deluxe shadows).
I especially like the deluxe collection the shadows are so creamy and vibrant!
Just a few more things to share with you now –
Mullet Gift box! I mentioned in another post that Urban Decay also has another set for Shattered (a duochrome shadow), and also The Midnight Cowboy Rides Again.
They are good value if you like a bit of glimmer shimmer in your life!

The Obama administration had set a deadline of November 16 for states to signal whether they would create their own health insurance "exchanges," or let the federal government do it.
But the federal government is so desperate to have states do the heavy lifting, and so few states are interested, that for some time (most recently in a National Review Online column that posted yesterday) I have been predicting the Obama administration would push back that deadline. It seems I was right. Well, today's CQ Healthbeat reports:
The federal government is likely to extend the Nov. 16 deadline for states to decide whether they will run their own health insurance exchanges, according to several state officials. … Instead, HHS officials are expected to set a new deadline for states that want to operate the marketplaces alone but have a rolling deadline with ongoing discussions for states that are interested in a partnership.
What is the difference between a "rolling deadline" and no deadline?
It's "the REAL ID rebellion" all over again.

A Lifeboat For The iPhone Flood. Cisco ASR 901
4G mobile Internet is back in the news with word that Apple has sold over 5 million LTE-enabled iPhone 5s in the first three days it went on sale, and I know that my wife is counting down the hours until she is eligible for an upgrade (likely my two-year old daughter too… if she could talk. Have you seen how kids naturally master an iPhone like Ronaldhino and soccer ball?).
Whether it's for uploading pictures of the kids to social media sites or getting work done faster, over 100 million smartphone users will belong to the "gigabyte club" (over 1 GB per month) in 2012 according to the Cisco Visual Networking Index. However this rapid expansion of the mobile Internet challenges network operators who must determine how to move this deluge of data traffic from the cell tower and/or Wi-Fi hotspot back to the core of the network. A virtual "Category [iPhone] 5" for some providers…
For this application Cisco designed the Cisco ASR 901 router, an environmentally hardened very low-power platform optimized for mobile backhaul requirements, including those found in emerging markets. Using Cisco ASR 901 routers, services providers can minimize operating costs while increasing coverage of their Radio [RAN] and Ethernet access networks. Key innovations in the ASR 901 include its low power consumption (less than 40 watts), ability to backhaul using 10GE links, and sophisticated timing-over-packet technology.
The Cisco ASR 901 has already racked up multiple design wins with several large mobile operators, including one in North America. Most recently it picked up an industry award for Most Innovative Product of the Year at The Economic Times Telecom Awards 2012. The award was presented to Cisco in New Delhi, in the presence of Kapil Sibal, Minister of Human Resource Development, Communications & IT- Government of India, and other leaders and dignitaries from the industry.
This is actually the second significant recognition for the ASR 901, firmly establishing it as a break-through product in this space. Earlier this year, the product received the NASSCOM Innovation Award in the New Technology Advancement category.
Speaking on the occasion, Partho Mishra, Vice President & General Manager, Provider Access Business Unit, Cisco Systems, said:
"We are extremely proud to receive the ET Telecom Award. This is a reflection of our commitment to innovate and provide the right technology solutions and platforms to help customers meet changing business needs. This is also a testament to Cisco's investment in developing innovative products for India and from India, for the rest of the world. The ASR 901 is a fantastic product and it's good to have that acknowledged by our peers and the industry at large".
If you'd like to see the ASR 901 in person and need a reason to visit Las Vegas, come visit our booth #109 at the TelcoTV event October 24-26th 2012. We'll have the ASR 901 along with a number of other Cisco solutions!
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

In Memory of Lynn Brill [1]
Lynn Lyles Brill served as a member of the McDonald Observatory and Department of Astronomy Board of Visitors from 2004 until her death in October 2009, following a courageous struggle with cancer. She was a wonderful and loving wife, mother, and friend, who leaves behind a world of lives she touched with her unfailing love, support, and comfort.
Lynn was born in Austin, the daughter of Mary Nobles Lyles and Julian Knox Lyles. She attended Pease School, University Junior High School, Austin High School and the University of Texas at Austin.
As a generous member of the Board of Visitors, she helped with the BoV's mission in numerous ways, including opening her home to host fund-raising events for the observatory's Education and Outreach program. Lynn attributed her interest in Astronomy to her seventh-grade science teacher at University Junior High School.
Lynn's instructions provided that, in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts be made to McDonald Observatory. We received more than $12000 in Lynn's memory. These gifts were used to upgrade the StarDate website, which provides daily astronomy information to millions of site visitors each month. We are grateful to all the donors, and we are honored that Lynn and her husband and daughters chose this way to acknowledge her support of her community and her love of astronomy.
We will miss Lynn, her support of McDonald Observatory and the University of Texas at Austin, and the warmth of her friendship.
Dr. David Lambert,
McDonald Observatory director

March 2012 features all five visible planets, visible at convenient evening hours!
Venus continues to appear higher and higher in the sky each night, outshining everything but the Sun and the Moon. Look for it in the west at dusk. It is also still approaching Jupiter each night as March begins. On the first few nights of March, Venus is just over 10 degrees below Jupiter in the west. However, Venus continues to close that gap until March 13, Venus and Jupiter are side by side, with Venus on the right. After that, Venus pulls away, appearing higher than Jupiter in the west at dusk. Jupiter outshines everything in our sky except the Sun, the Moon, and Venus. Venus and Jupiter thus make a spectacular pair in the west this month.
Mars has joined Jupiter and Venus as an evening object. Face east at dusk and look for the brightest point of light in that direction. Although not as bright as Venus or Jupiter, Mars has brightened enough to rival Sirius, the brightest star we ever see at night. On March 3, Earth passes between Mars and the Sun, putting Mars in our sky literally all night long (an alignment called opposition).
Mercury is ordinarily too close to the Sun to observe; only rarely is it far enough from the Sun to be still up after sundown. Early March 2012 is one of those rare times, however. During the first two weeks of March, look for Mercury low in the west at dusk, between Venus and the point of sunset. Mercury is highest in the sky on March 5 and gets a little harder to see each day after that.
Saturn becomes a late evening object this month. Look in the south southeast beginning at about 10:00 pm on March 1, and by 8:40 (just after twilight ends) on March 31. Saturn is near the star Spica. (From the Big Dipper's handle, arc to Arcturus and speed on to Spica).
Brilliant winter stars continue to dominate the southern sky at dusk. Orion, the Hunter, is almost due south. His two dogs, represented by Sirius and Procyon, are to his left. Above Orion is Taurus, the Bull with Aldebaran as its eye. Gemini, the Twins, are to Orion's upper left. Leo, the Lion, is rising in the east.
Below Sirius, just above the southern horizon, is a star second only to Sirius in brightness. This is Canopus, which marks the keel (bottom) of the legendary ship Argo Navis. Canopus is so far south, in fact, that most Americans never see it. From the Gulf Coast, however, Canopus does rise. February and March are the best months to see it at dusk.
Moon Phases in March 2012:
Full March 8, 3:41 am
Last Quarter March 14, 8:26 pm
New March 22, 9:38 am
1st Quarter March 30, 2:41 pm
At 12:13 am on Tuesday, March 20, the Sun is directly overhead at the equator. This, then, is the vernal (spring) equinox, marking the official beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, summer turns to fall.

On most clear Saturday nights at the George Observatory, you can hear me do live star tours on the observation deck with a green laser pointer. If you're there, listen for my announcement.

My goodnes I just realized this
I was just re-reading Meadow of the Damned whe I noticed that the woman was a telemarketer, and in the lamest of hells. Surely Scott in all the justice of the universe telemarketers should be in the 13th circle of hell. (yes I know it doesn't go that low)
Once again Sorry, I couldn't resist
I was actually a bit suprised at the ending, I kind of expected that the hell they were in would be a kind of Chineese water torture thing, where the small things kept getting worse and worse, but hey that's just me.

My best friend was a telmarketer ... well, she worked for a company that did over the phone surveys. She hated her job, but she needed the money. Those surveys do need to be done. Some are quality control, some measure what the consumer wants, some are measuring the ammount of resourses that should be spent or not. As annoying as these surveys are, they do in the long run help you. (Although, companies who are trying to sell stuff could learn better ways to sell their products. I get several calls for home improvement a day while I live in an apartment.) Just remember that there are real people making those calls and they have a really sucky job. How would you like it if people yelled, cursed, and hung up on you all day? (Actualy, that sounds like my job ...)

Surveys aren't so bad, IMO, but true telemarketing- sales people calling with the express purpose of making a sale- I find to be rude, intrusive and wasteful. It became so bad that that I stopped answering the phone entirely in favor of using the answering machine to screen calls. I have only been asked to participate in a phone survey twice, maybe three times, in my life and the most recent one was a survey on what radio stations I listened to, which I can't imaging I was any help with, since I didn't listen to any of the list of stations they wanted to know about.
So survey-takers (surveyors?) aren't so bad in my book, but telemarketers can go straight to the Meadow of the Damned.
Good morning! That's a nice tnetennba.

Just say click.
I don't understand why people get so upset at telemarketers. You don't have to talk to them, just politely say you're not interested and hang up. It seems to me that the people who complain the most are the ones who listen to someone talk for half an hour waiting for their turn to speak. It's you who's wasting your own time by not being assertive.

Oh, I gotta disagree with you on that one (respectfully). I purchased a telephone and pay for the monthly service strictly for my own benefit, not a telemarketing company's, so the very fact that when I answer the phone and it's not either a friend or family member seeking to communicate with me or a legitimate wrong number is an intrusion and a waste of time- my time and theirs.
As to politely saying "no thanks" and hanging up, do you mean hanging up regardless of whether or not the voice on the other end of the line is still speaking? That truly is about as much consideration as any telemarketing company deserves, but in trying to show a modicum of respect for the human on the other end of the line, it usually works out to having to decline their "offer" at least three times then hanging up in the middle of their next sentence, which is not exactly polite, but it's what one is forced to do.
Of course, by that time, it's already too late and the rude, intrusive event has already happened.
And I even found a relevant quote from Miss Manners to back me up on this one:
In response to a telemarketer, Miss Manners wrote:
What you are doing is rude. Never mind arguing that you need to earn a living, that you personally do not intend to break into people's lives and that many people must be grateful for the opportunity your employer offers for you, or they would not be profitable... Miss Manners is sorry to tell you that she hopes such techniques will not be permitted and that you are able to earn a more acceptable living in another manner.
That quote and useful anti-telemarketing techniques here:
Good morning! That's a nice tnetennba.

In the UK you can "turn off" telemarketers. Over a million people have done so already.
Originally a voluntary body was put in place which telemarketers could use to "cleanse" lists, and the "industry body" of telemarketing in the UK assured the government that its members had no intention of annoying those who did not wish to be disturbed. Of course years later people on the voluntary list were still receiving calls, and the government took this as a clear signal that the telemarketers weren't capable of being self-regulating and so they gave the voluntary body legal status.
Now every private citizen and partnership (not big companies) can opt out of ever receiving marketing calls for the price of a stamp or a few minutes on the Internet. Any marketing company that doesn't "cleanse" their call lists is fined. I receive no unwanted calls, and can work at home without people trying to sell me things I don't need and don't want.
Probably a few marketing companies went out of business, and a few people lost their jobs, but it was a small price to pay to return the telephone to its original purpose.

I use:
"I'm sorry, we don't accept telephone solicitations."
Then, if they persist, I cut them off as gently as possible.
I really have nothing against the people who work those soul-crushing jobs (or against Richard Dreyfus, for that matter), it's the system that employs them that I hate, hence the strictly fictional damnation.
Sort of along the same lines as Mojo Nixon's song "Don Henley Must Die."

Yell at the managers, not the workers
It bugs me when people yell and scream at telemarketers. If you hate the practice, ask for their managers and yell at
. These poor people just need some money, and, telemarketing not being as evil as genetic cleansing, I think it's reasonable for them to take up this job. Even if people do think that they're in part responsible for the behavior, don't they think that the higher-ups are far
Of course, people don't yell at the managers because that would take actual
. Instead, they just blow off steam at people who have
no decision-making power
(the managers probably expect verbal abuse to their workers by now, and they probably don't care much, because they're not the ones who have to deal with it anyway), and they thus
solve absolutely nothing!
Please, for the love of common decency, do what Scott McCloud does: Just say that you're not interested and then hang up on them. Most of them these days will voluntarily hang up once you say you're not interested anyway.

I strongly disagree. Yelling at the telemarketer
a positive step. These people
have decision-making power. They decided to take the job, and they can decide to quit -- and if you drive them closer to quitting, more power to you. If there are no employees to do this job, it won't get done. The more often they have to replace employees, the higher the costs to the marketing company, and the more likely it is that the job won't get done.
There are other ways to make them less profitable (stringing the caller along for as long as possible, for example), but for now harrassing those who have chosen to interrupt your day for their own profit is one of the few tools you can use against them. Given that these people chose to call you, you should feel no guilt about returning the displeasure in this way.
Last I heard, California was considering passing a law allowing people to opt out of these calls. (It would not, alas, apply to calls from charities and political groups -- unsurprising, since the political groups support the very people who vote ont he law.) There are of course companies in the interruption-and-harrassment business who are fighting against this law. We shall see if the lawmakers choose to represent the wishes of the people.

"If you drive them closer to quitting..." when they may be struggling just to feed their kids. Yay, goodness and charity reign.
I think the system is horrible. But it might be the only job they have.
Deliberately making people miserable to get at their employers sounds pretty nasty.

Gee, that's an excuse for whatever people do for money. Burgular? Hit man? Hey, they're just trying to make a living...
These people make their livings by stealing the valuable time of others, plain and simple. If treating people uncivilly and stealing from them is part of how they make their living, then dealing with the reaction of their victims comes with the territory as well.
I can be very charitable, but not to someone who just chose to victimize me. To treat these folks nicely doesn't encourage civility, it rewards rudeness and theft.

Speaking as a former telemarketer (I only did it for one summer during college, and that was so I wouldn't have to go back to working in fast food), I can tell you that -- as with fast food -- a high employee turnover rate doesn't affect a telemarketing company's profits all that much. They don't have to spend all that much on recruiting because there are always people desperate enough to risk the ire of their fellow man to make a few bucks. (Sure, they have to run newspaper ads damn near constantly, but that cost is built right into their budgets.) And training is almost negligible. When I was hired I had a half a day of training before I was shown to my cubicle. I think I lasted two months.
Now, even though I've been in their shoes, I still occasional yell at a telemarketer, but only after they've ignored my first two or three attempts to get off the phone nicely. Also, remember that you have the right to demand to be taken off their calling list and they are legally required to remove you if you do so.

Deliberately making people miserable to get at their employers sounds pretty nasty.
And ineffective. The ages-old expression "Don't shoot the messenger" is good advice. If you want something from someone or something- in this case, the telemarketing company- then don't offend the person in the position to deliver that. What could you possibly want from a telemarketing company? Assuming it's not their product, you want not to be called again. In the United States (I can't speak for other countries) if you request to be put on the telemarketing company's "do not call list," then by law they have to do so and keep you on that list for ten years. If everybody did this, there's be nobody left to call. ("...and if everybody went to the same restaurant on the same evening and ordered blintzes, there would be chaos, but they don't!" -Diane Keaton, Love and Death)
And the argument that "this could be the only job the caller could find," which keeps coming up over and over, is a logical disconnect. Telemarketing is rude. Telemarketing is intrusive. Telemarketing is a waste of time. These facts have nothing to do with the employable status of the person who took the job. History has shown that there are always people willing to do others' dirty work, often to their own detriment. People always have choices and sometimes they make poor ones. I consider accepting a job as a telemarketer to be a poor one, no matter the circumstances. I have little sympathy. However- Yelling? Abusing the caller? No- Not polite and not useful. Please see the above paragraph.
Good morning! That's a nice tnetennba.

I prefer not to be a friendly, complicit victim, and see no reason to be "polite" to those who are victimizing me. As for the "Do not call" list, that gets ignored frequently -- and unless you make an ongoing effort to document every call you get, there is little you can do about it. They will also tell you that they cannot actually make the change for weeks. And then they regularly hire different calling agencies so that your Do Not Call request does no good, even if they do adhere to the letter of the law.

Actually, many states have enacted laws, allowing people to have their phone numbers taken off telemarketer lists. If you're number is on the "don't call" list, and a tele-marketer calls you, they can be fined everytime they do.
If you live in NY state, like I do, go to
to have your number put on the "don't call" list.
Another way to deal with telemarketers, is to "give it back to them", as comedian
Jim Florentine
does in his

Many telemarketers use an announcer-like voice when calling my apartment. I find it fun to use strange and unusual voices and accents when answering telemarketers. The response "We have no money." usually causes them to hang up.
I like how the demon in MotD proved that their hell was the best matched for what they had done.

"Meadow of the Damned" reminds me a little of "Croq'la Vie" ("Take a bite out of Life", by Yann & Hardy).
In "Take a bite out of Life", The afterlife is just an endless plain, where the dead live on until they rot away and crumble to dust. A little like "Meadow of the Damned", only nothing happens and everybody rots.
It's great fun, 'cause it constantly tackles all metaphorical questions about reincanation, Heaven, Hell, Life, and the meaning thereof,... as well as having a pitch-black sense of humor.
Anyone else know of these "imagined afterlifes" in comics?

Many of today's most destructive advanced persistent threats (APTs) were conceived a decade ago, so enterprises that rely on most traditional approaches to cybersecurity are unlikely to succeed against the next generation of attacks. This is one of the cautions in a new book published by global IT association ISACA in cybersecurity awareness month.
Advanced Persistent Threats: How to Manage the Risk to Your Business advises that traditional defenses such as firewalls and anti-malware are not up to the challenge of today's APTs and that organizations need to add skills, processes and technology to their cybersecurity arsenal.
While new tools are needed to combat ever changing security threats, it is helpful to examine the history of the APT, because it is possible to derive many important lessons for defending against them in the future. The earliest use of the term "advanced persistent threat" emerged from the U.S. government sector in 2005, describing a new, deceptive form of attack that targeted selected employees and tricked them into downloading a file or accessing a website infected with Trojan horse software. This slideshow summarizes known facts, anecdotal evidence and reported claims behind some of the most well known attacks experienced over the last 15 years.

Kumpulan Kosakata Aktifitas Sehari-hari Bahasa Inggris
By Unknown - Monday, February 25, 2013
Kegiatan / aktifitas sehari-hari dalam bahasa Inggris disebut daily activities / daily routines pasti sangat berguna untuk menceritakan tentang kegiatan kita sehari-hari dalam bahasa Inggris. Jika kita tidak mempunyai kosakata bahasa Inggris yang cukup, alangkah baiknya jika kita mencoba memperkaya / menambah kosakata bahasa Inggris (vocabulary) kita dengan melakukan cara sederhana menambah kosakata bahasa Inggris (baca: 7 cara memperkaya kosakata bahasa Inggris)
Lalu, apa sajakah kosakata aktifitas sehari-hari itu? Pasti jawabannya sangat relatif karena setiap orang sudah barang tentu memiliki perbedaan latar belakang sehingga kegiatan sehari-hari dari berbagai manusia bisa sangat bermacam-macam. Untuk itu, di sini saya hanya memberikan beberapa kosakata bahasa Inggris yang sering dikerjakan oleh orang luar negeri, baik itu kosakata "yang" benar-benar di lakukan sehari-hari di dalam rumah, di saat kerja, kegiatan rutin mingguan dan bahkan kegiatan rutin lainnya.

I wake up at 7am every morning. I press the snooze button five times every morning before I turn off the alarm and get up. I have a cup of coffee and make breakfast. I usually read the newspaper while I have breakfast. My children like tohave a shower after they have breakfast but I like to have a shower before I get dressed. My wife brushes her long hair, and I have short hair so I comb my hair.
It is important to brush your teeth, and some women like to put make-up on. After I have finished work, I go home to cook dinner. In my house I usually make dinner.The family eat dinner together at 7:30pm.
After dinner I make sure that my children do their homework, and then I watch television. On television I usually watch the News. My wife usually comes to tell me to take the rubbish out, or wash the dishes. Our children feed the dog and the catbefore they go to bed and I tell them to go to the bathroom too. If I am sick I have to take my medication, but then I get into my pyjamas and set the alarm so I wake up in the morning. The last things I do is lock the door, turn off the lights, andgo to bed.

At 1pm most days I have lunch. At 3pm we have afternoon tea, and that is when we usually talk and eat cake.
When you are in the office you probably have a lot of papers. It is important for you tofile your papers, and so that you can find them again you need to organise your files.

I go grocery shopping once a week at the local supermarket. My family does the housework together every Saturday morning. I usually do the washing on Sunday morning and when the machine is finished I hang the clothes out to dry.
On Sunday morning we go to church, and if there is lots of noise coming from next door, sometimes we fight with the neighbour.
On Saturday night my parents stay at home and I go out with friends.
Even my friends that live at home call their parents each week.
Every evening, I water the garden.
I usually pay someone to wash the car, but my partner says I should do it, so sometimes I argue with my partner about that.
If we are angry at the neighbour, we seek vengeance by annoying his dogs.
I work in an important office, so I have to shine my shoes each day.
Sometimes we hire a movie, because we don't like to illegally download music and films. I make sure that I synchronise my iPod so I always have new music on it.
To get our shopping, we go to the mall in the car.

Through her tears, Luisa Seau said that there had been no warning of this. How could her son, Junior, who had so much promise in his life and during a glittery football career, want to kill himself? "I don't understand," she wailed.
But Seau, 43, a star linebacker at USC and for his hometown San Diego Chargers, apparently ended his life Wednesday with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Oceanside home.
Oceanside Police Chief Frank McCoy said Seau's girlfriend went to the beachfront home about 9:30 a.m. and found him dead in a bedroom. Police and paramedics tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him.
McCoy said Seau died of a gunshot wound to the chest. A handgun was found near the body. The case is being investigated as a suicide, although police found no suicide note. A crowd of media and onlookers gathered outside the home Wednesday morning.
Seau's ex-wife, Gina, said that on Tuesday he sent her and each of their three children — daughter Sydney and sons Jake and Hunter — a text message, ending with "I love you."
Seau, an All-Pro linebacker who spent most of his 20-year NFL career with the Chargers, retired in 2006 and then "unretired" several days later, saying he was not ready to leave a game that he loved. He retired for good after the 2009 season.
On Wednesday, some saw similarities between the deaths of Seau and former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest last year. In a suicide note, Duerson had asked his family to donate his brain to the Boston University School of Medicine.
Researchers from that school later determined that Duerson suffered from a neurodegenerative disease linked to concussions, and that played a role in triggering his depression. The San Diego County medical examiner said an autopsy for Seau is set for Thursday.
Seau will be remembered as one of the greatest players in NFL history at any position, a 6-foot-3, 248-pound wrecking ball who made the Pro Bowl 12 years in a row and was voted All-Pro 10 times. He often veered from the script on the field, and that only made him more effective.
Christian Fauria, a longtime NFL tight end, said opposing offenses frequently could not rely on scouting reports when it came to lining up against Seau.
"Most of the time he would just kind of go where he thought the ball was going," Fauria said. "He would disregard every bit of coverage rules and gap assignments. He would just go to where he thought the play was going, based on what he looked at, what he saw."
That was the case at Oceanside High, where Seau dominated in football, basketball and track, and at USC, where his No. 55 jersey became synonymous with the gold standard of linebackers.
He had humble beginnings with the Trojans, however, having entered the school ineligible for his freshman season because of low test scores coming out of high school.
He later said he initially felt like an outsider at the school and harnessed that as motivation.
"It was terrible," he told The Times in 1991. "I used to walk the campus and not be part of the inner circle. I had no friends. The guys would be mingling on the steps, and that would be the inner circle and they didn't accept me. They were USC. They were the players, and they were looking at a guy who didn't pass his SATs."
After an ankle injury limited his contributions as a sophomore, Seau broke through as a junior and became a unanimous first-team All-American. He made the then-rare decision to forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.
"It was a money decision," he later explained. "I had the security of my mom and dad in my hands. I don't know how my dad made it, paying the bills while we were growing up, but I owe everything to him and my family."
The Chargers made the 20-year-old Seau the No. 5 pick in the 1990 draft, worried only that he might be gone before they had a chance to select him. As was the case at USC, Seau did not feel immediately embraced by his teammates. He felt shunned because he was a contract holdout in his first training camp.
He experienced an attitude shift in the seventh game of his rookie season, against the Los Angeles Raiders, when he had successfully called a defensive huddle. His team was not victorious on that day, but, in a way, Seau was.
"My dad called me and said, 'Oh, sorry you didn't win,' " Seau recalled years later in an interview with the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I said, 'Don't worry, I won. They huddled for me.' That is what I would call a turning point in my career."
The following year, he made the first of his 12 consecutive Pro Bowls. But the Chargers had only sporadic success during his time with them, posting non-winning records in 10 of Seau's 13 seasons. The franchise did make its only Super Bowl appearance, however, when he was on the team, losing to San Francisco in January 1995.
"I don't think there will ever be anybody who will be able to match what this guy was able to do on the football field," said longtime Raiders receiver Tim Brown. "He was big, fast, smart, strong and fearless. You put all that in a weak-side linebacker, and you've got somebody who's scary. For many, many years he was just that for us."
Seau's career with the Chargers came to a close in April 2003, when the team traded him to Miami for a conditional draft choice. He wound up starting 15 games for the Dolphins and made 133 tackles. But the following year, he was sidelined for eight games with torn biceps. That was only one fewer game than he had missed in the previous 14 seasons combined.
The time away from practices and games took its toll.
"I'll tell you what, there are a lot of minutes in the day," he told reporters in Miami in 2005. "I know that now. I definitely got a little taste of what it's going to be like when the game is done. It's something I'm not ready for."
The next season it was an Achilles tendon injury that ended his year, and in August 2006, he retired after signing a ceremonial one-day contract with the Chargers. His playing days were not over, however. Just four days later, he signed with New England and wound up playing the better part of four seasons with the Patriots.
Tiaina Baul Seau Jr. was born Jan. 19, 1969, in Oceanside to Tiaina Baul and Luisa Seau, natives of American Samoa. One of six children, Junior Seau spent several years with his family in his parents' homeland, but most of his youth was spent in Oceanside, where his father was a high school janitor.
He enrolled at USC in 1987 determined to escape the kind of street violence that swirled around others in the Samoan community. A 16-year-old cousin was killed in an apparent gang shooting in 2005.
After retiring from football, Seau remained in the public eye: appearing at his sports-themed restaurant in San Diego, raising money for youth groups through the Junior Seau Foundation and playing in his annual charity golf tournament.
"As great a football player as Junior was, he was a greater human being," the Rev. Shawn Mitchell, the Chargers' chaplain for 28 years, said Wednesday.
In October 2010, Seau drove his sport utility vehicle off a 30-foot coastal bluff in Carlsbad in the hours after an argument with his girlfriend. He told police that he had fallen asleep while driving; he was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries and released.
Oceanside police arrested Seau on suspicion of domestic violence, but the San Diego County district attorney's office declined to file charges.
Former Chargers General Manager Bobby Beathard, who drafted Seau, was among those shocked by his death. "The whole time I was in the NFL … I don't know if I've ever seen anybody like Junior … that had it all," Beathard said. "Just a great guy. He loved playing the game. He loved his teammates. He loved life. I certainly can't understand what went wrong or what happened."
Perry reported from Oceanside, Farmer from Los Angeles.
Through her tears, Luisa Seau said that there had been no warning of this. How could her son, Junior, who had so much promise in his life and during a glittery football career, want to kill himself? "I don't understand," she wailed.
