Synoxi Desktop Interaction Principles:
This is a preliminary Version of my Dektop Interaction Principles. These are aimed to provide a high usability and consistency. They're also supposed to reduce the stress of looking for ones files. This is archieved thruogh its non-hierarchic file visualization management.
1.What you see is what you get: Icons don't represent the file, they are the file
2.No hierarchic Folder Arrangement: All Views a user gets are virtual folders and represent all files who match a certain criteria (e.g. all Pictures / all Files edited last week / all Files sent to me by Peter) This includes semantic information. A user doesn't want to care about WHERE to save his files, he cares about the content. So a file save dialogue would ask for additional metadata rather than a place to save.
3.There are 3 types of objects for the user. These types will be called states further on: "Empty Objects" (create new file of a certain type) represented by an icon, "Closed Objects" (closed files) represented by a preview and "Open Objects" (open windows) represented by the window itself. A minimized Window is treated as a closed object. It is just placed in a special containment (see point 4 for visualization details of objects).
4."Containers" are virtual views that collect various information about objects and are able to filter them in awareness of these. They are the general way of representing objects. They are aware of the state of an object (empty or new / closed / open). Containers act like a folder view that looks for data that matches filter criteria. It has to be very easy to customize them → reasonable set of filters visible (depending on which filters are already in use). To add or remove a criteria you can drag and drop from a list. This idea of filters is shared among all file views.
5.A user can interact with an object by holding the mouse or finger over the object for a certain amount of time (1-2 s) or by right clicking. Then, a menu appears. It shows contextual actions (delete / duplicate / rate / tag / send to …), semantic information (which can depend on the filters used in the container) and gathers all notifications for an object. Notifications are treated similarly as tags and canhave actions associated with them, as have tags. An object can call for attention by sending a visual and/or audible signal – it can also open parts of its menu (the notification area) by itself, if there is urgent information. By hovering this partial menu, the full menu is shown.
6.No systemtray exclusive notifications. All objects (which to the user are pieces of information with actions associated to them) are treated the same (from a visualization point of view). The information belongs to the object associated with it. Application Notifications are stuck to the objects representation, be it an open or closed object.
7.Containers are no explicit Window switchers. There is the window switcher applet or composite animation for that. Containers are used to look at and change the state of objects. So they can open a closed object or create an empty one. There can still be a window switcher applet.
8.You don't start an application, you start a task. If you have several applications, you can choose between them. The user doesn't care about applications, they just want it to work. The user wants to write a new text document as opposed to opening a certain application that can edit text documents. So applications are started by clicking on a certain task which is represented by an icon. By staying on the icon for a while (1-2 seconds) an action menu is shown (see point 4) Every action a user does is a task. Tasks can be dragged into the application launcher bar. 9.When a new notification arrives from a process, of whom there is no visible object, a new task appears in the task bar.(!English relative clause!?) It has a pop-up that shows the message. By hovering, a full context menu appears. It shows more information and allows for more actions.
10.New Tasks (application sessions) are treated the same way as closed documents or windows (open documents) are, because to the user, they basically represent empty documents or empty sessions of a chat application or an new browser page.
11.Closed Objects, Windows and new Tasks have to be distinguishable. It is important to have useful and intuitive filters.
12.An open file has to have the same contextual menu as a closed one. The problem here are notifications: In this file-centric system a notification would have to be attached to the application itself. This has to be either aggregated in a menu or attached to the bottom / top of the window. The former seems to be more viable.
13.Closing a window NEVER is a destructive task. It has nothing to do with deleting a file. A new file is saved automatically. By closing an application that has unsaved changes, the changes are saved automatically. Change History has to be preserved. Deleting a file is done by using the objects context menu.
Here some Mockups of a possible panel:
The user is hovering over the "new text document" icon. Not much to see here.
This is slightly more intresting: Here a task is calling for attention. Two new mails have arrived and the user is being informed. Hovering the icon or the notification will cause this:
Here the user is presented with options. 1) Open the Mail application 2) ignore the notification (the dialog will disappear).
This behaviour for notifications also applies for tasks who are not in the panel. All notifications for new or closed tasks appear this way.
Minimized windows can also call for attention with a dialog and an associated action menu.
A problem with this kind of application starting behaviour is how to handle big masses of applications (or in sinoxy "tasks"). In Sinoxy this problem is solved by being able to invoke a dialog who displays all tasks available on the system (Partially this is also solved by grouping applications, who have the same purpose, under one "task"). To invoke this dialog, you click on the KDE-icon. Herefrom you can drag tasks to the panel and also start them directly.
Probably, a search mechanism would be very convenient.

The Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions is a program designed to discover promising young opera singers and assist in the development of their careers. The auditions are held annually in fourteen Regions of the United States and Canada.
Many of the world's foremost singers, among them Renée Fleming, Susan Graham, and Eric Owens have received awards from the National Council.
I want to tell the donors how much they mean to me and all the singers that they help. They are a lifeline for us and I can personally say that, through the Met competition, they helped me to just keep going in an extremely difficult industry. Through their giving, they gave me the means to be able to put food on the table, keep studying, and keep singing. I will always, ALWAYS be grateful for their generosity. - Tenor Joseph Dennis - 2015 Grand Finals Winner

I've been catching up with the lovely photos and recipes at Mangocheek's (don't you love the name?!) Allotment to Kitchen blog. She's an ace veggie gardener and also posts some great photos of her trips around the Glasgow area. A few recipes caught my eye when I was reading about her latest kitchen adventures recently, but there was one I just wanted to go and make immediately - some vegan roasted veggie sun dried tomato and olive sausages. We make burgers fairly often but not sausages and I was really taken with the idea.
I couldn't use this recipe exactly though - lovely though it sounded - as it contained several anti-Scientist ingredients. Namely, the olives and the oats which formed part of the filler and also the coating. I also wanted to use up the carrots from our vegbox, but I loved the idea of using lentils and sun dried tomato, and also of roasting the veggies. So I tinkered a bit and was really pleased with the results. The flavours shone through, and the sausages weren't too heavy, as potato-based things can sometimes be. Olives would have been a great addition, but hey, what can you do. The Scientist liked them too - he did say that they could have been less carroty (I pointed out helpfully that they were carrot sausages), and suggested adding some sweet potato another time. I think that would be really good too. I roughly halved mangocheeks' recipe and made five sausages which was just right for us. I served them with some baked potato wedges, dusted with paprika, and also some steamed spring greens, all from the veg box.
Carrot, coriander and sun dried tomato sausages - adapted from Mangocheeks
4 carrots, washed and cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, left whole
1/4 cup red lentils
150ml stock
handful of fresh coriander, chopped
2 sundried tomatoes, soaked in hot water
flaxseed meal and chickpea flour, for thickening and coating - I used about 1 Tbsp of flaxseed meal and about 1/4 cup of chickpea flour.
Roast the carrots and garlic at 200C for about half an hour - until soft
Cook lentils in the stock until soft
Put veggies and lentils in a food processor, with the coriander, chopped sun dried tomatoes. coriander and seasoning, to taste. Blend until well combined.
Add the flaxseed meal and enough chickpea flour that you can mould it - it will still be soft and quite damp.
Form into sausages and roll in some more chickpea flour.
Cook gently in a frying pan sprayed with some oil spray, turning every so often.

RV Resort Spurs Gulf Coast Cleanup Effort
May 7, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RV Resort Spurs Gulf Coast Cleanup Effort
Representatives from Bella Terra Realty Holdings LLC announced today (May 7) they will be coordinating a nationwide outreach to the RV community in support of anticipated cleanup efforts along the Gulf Coast in response to the BP oil spill.
The program starts immediately and is anticipated to run throughout the duration of this natural catastrophe.
Bella Terra of Gulf Shores and its Resort Host Team are proactively working with the Alabama Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce to provide volunteer services for oil spill coastal cleanup, should they be required. The primary role of Bella Terra is to coordinate a nationwide outreach effort bringing thousands of volunteers, specifically those in the RV community, to the region. At the local and regional level, the Bella Terra team will coordinate getting the volunteers where they are most needed, as well as orchestrating support by other resorts along the coast.
"Our resort is part of the Gulf Shores family. We want to jump in and do our part to ensure our beaches and natural attractions remain the national treasure that they are today," said Tripp Keber, COO of Bella Terra Realty Holding LLC. "We are in a unique position to coordinate this effort at a local, regional and national level. We want the RV community across the nation to know there is something they can do to help and a coordinated effort is currently underway."
As of today, there are currently no effects of the oil spill on the beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. According to NOAA forecasts, no shoreline impact is expected for at least 72 hours. At this point the extent of the potential impact is unclear.
Bella Terra is offering significant rental discounts to volunteers arriving to the region via motor coach, needing a place to stay during the period in which they are assisting with cleanup efforts. In addition, Bella Terra is coordinating similar discounts and efforts with resorts and parks throughout the Gulf Coast.
"We are proud to be part of this effort," said Anne Stephens of Anchors Aweigh RV Resort. "When the Bella Terra team called, we were onboard immediately. We are encouraging RVers across the country to get involved down here on the Gulf Coast. The collective effort from area parks and resorts working together in unison to rally support will have a positive impact on not only the region, but the desire and ability of RVers to assist."
Bella Terra will be contributing 10% of all rental income over the next 45 days to the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program.
"I hope we end up with a long list of volunteers that we never need to use," said Chuck Smith, president of Bella Terra Realty Holding LLC. "We realize, however, that quick intervention and cleanup will be needed to ensure the future of our beaches and estuaries, and are acting now to make certain there are plenty of helping hands available."
To learn more about how you can get involved, call (866) 475-7746 or visit www.BellaTerraRVResort.com.

The creators of Resistance series and upcoming title, FUSE have released new screenshots of the game.
After looking around at this game I can't seem to get myself interested at all in it. This being their first Multiplatform title for 360/PS3 is just kinda disappointing to me. They did great with Resistance.
Oh I see snow. however I've only seen generic building fights, that sucks, I want to see more snow and jungle levels!!!!!
This game has no hope of selling I'm afraid. The name is crap, & it changed from a far better, but far from great title (Overstrike, or something similar).
Unfortunately, gamers failed Insomniac on PS3, so 10's of millions of PS3 owners ignored Insomniac's last hurrah on PS3 in Resistance 3, which was undeserved, as the game was purely brilliant & by far THE BEST in the series, & one of the best fps's still going around...The game was great, weapons awesome, highly addictive multiplayer & just another great little Insomniac Sony's PS exclusive title, that forced Insomniacs hand to move onto multiplat development, or be bought out by Sony (which I would have preferred), but they obviously chose the latter & now I think are under EA's rule (which would be far worse, I believe, than under Sony's spell), & ever since there multiplat decision, there focus has been all but broken & there games have suffered immeasurably. They went from making my favorite platforming games with the Ratchet series, to butchering this well established IP, that scored well with gaming media & general gamers, up until the last 2 messes, that got panned & probably sold poorly as a result.
I can't see Fuse doing to well with what it is up against, including a whole new next gen machine from Sony, coming a mere few months before this game hits shelves.
Hopefully it will be great & sell multiple millions, as a result, but regardless of my well wishes, I really see it selling poorly, regardless of quality & such. I just hope, it's Sony that catches these guys when they fall, as if Fuse fails to get cash register draws opening in droves, I see them suffering immeasurably, & EA will drop them like a diseases whore, so with any luck, they will sell to Sony, & give us Resistance 4 & new more old school, great Ratchet titles, as well as/or an unreal new IP, or 2.

British police said on Friday they had identified people they want to question about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the 3-year-old who went missing in Portugal six years ago.
Madeleine disappeared from her room at a holiday resort in the Algarve, Portugal, on May 3, 2007, as her parents dined at a nearby restaurant, sparking a global manhunt and transfixing the world's media.
Speaking to the Evening Standard newspaper, Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, head of Scotland Yard's Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: "There are a lot of people of interest," without saying how many.
"There are people who could be properly explored further, if only to be eliminated."
British police confirmed they had identified people of interest but said they had not asked Portuguese police to arrest anyone.
Despite reported sightings the world over, the fate of Madeleine McCann remains a mystery.
Her parents Kate and Gerry were named as official suspects by Portuguese police four months after their daughter's disappearance, but in 2008 were cleared.
"Kate and Gerry remain very, very pleased with the work that Scotland Yard are doing and have been encouraged by Operation Grange from the day it began," the McCanns' spokesman Clarence Mitchell was quoted as saying by the British media.
British Prime Minister David Cameron ordered a new investigation by London police after the McCanns wrote to him in 2011 saying neither British nor Portuguese authorities had done enough to try to find their daughter.

Please Lie Lyrics
I know that she's your type, it's plain to see
And the black she's wearing tonight's right up your alley
I know I can't compete
Girl's got me beat
Don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
Please lie
Please lie
'Cause losing you will change everything
Can't you wait 'til I tell you that I'm ready?
Please lie
Oh, she's waiting outside after the show
I guess she wants to say, 'hi'- How do I know if…
That smile is only polite or something more?
Don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
I know it's wrong to live like this
But I need more time to get a grip
So spare me
Spare me the details

Bill5 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 95 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Dynamic brand identity that will appeal to broad Hispanic consumer audiences.
The website will be a portal for Hispanic content - specifically videos in the spanish language. The targeted audience is consumers - so the brand identity needs to be straightforward, legible, yet memorable.
- Web 2.0 look and feel, fonts
- Need to keep the .com in the identity
- Would like a 'video' type icon to accompany the words. This needs to be a strong enough concept that it could eventually be used as a stand alone representation of the brand. We're open to its placement but prefer it to be more abstract than literal in nature)
- Strong colors
- Must present well in online, print and signage media
- 'International' - needs to appeal to a broad multi-country Hispanic community (Mexico, Spain, Latin America)
- Final files in .ai
- While 'international' - I don't want any flags or globes
- No hard to read fonts (thin or script styles)
- Strong colors - but not fruity - no pastels please

Contemporary to Classic: Cabinet Pulls
Cabinet pulls are the tie between our cabinets and ourselves: they are what we touch when we open a door or pull out a drawer. There are several different types, five of which we outline here. If you're working on your kitchen, get to know the different types available to you and choose one that feels good in your hand: you will be using them a lot!
- Wire Pulls: Perhaps the least expensive and easiest to come by, wire pulls are generally plain, like the one shown in image 2. They are a simple bent shape that can come in metal, plastic and even wood. A variation on the wire pull for an even more contemporary appearance is the bar pull that's mounted to cabinets (or appliances) on standoff legs as in image 3.
- Knobs: A real classic, the mushroom knob (image 4) is a timeless choice that you can personalize for your home by choosing from lots of different sizes and finishes. Knobs can also be more decorative, as in image 5.
- Bin Pulls: Bin pulls are a throwback traditional style that we love (see images 6 and 7). They're great for drawers and deep, sliding bins and are less often used for cabinet doors. They can, however, be paired with mushroom knobs for a classic look that will last.
- Integrated: Integrated pulls are generally recessed into the cabinetry for a flush appearance and function. Can be great for tight spaces where even a knob sticking out could pose a nuisance. They are most often contemporary in style - see examples in images 8 and 9 above, and in this post over at Apartment Therapy.
- Latch Pulls: Another traditional style, these are for doors - not drawers - and function as both a latch and knob. See image 10.
Good sources for knobs include Häfele for modern styles (wire pulls and integrated hardware) and Van Dyke's or Whitechapel for more traditional and decorative styles.
What type of cabinet pulls do you have in your kitchen? Any good sources to recommend?

Alimpije Markovic, law clerk in the Palilula Municipal Assembly, left his apartment that morning not in the best of moods. There were several reasons for this. The first was his wife: the day before, when he had come home from the office, she had told him that their son, a high school student, had brought home his report card for the first term with three failing grades and a reprimand for a great many unexcused absences. Then, he had waited up until 11 o'clock that night for his daughter, a student, to come home, and had had a longish and unpleasant talk with her, after which he had been unable to get to sleep. Tossing on the bed, halfway between sleep and wakefulness, his mind had kept turning over his own troubles which might come upon him at work, because of his new boss, whom he still didn't know well enough. And because of the old secretary, who, he was certain, didn't care for him at all. There was no visible reason for this. As far as he could see, he hadn't done anything wrong - but one never knew what could be held against even the most conscientious member of the community in hard and complicated times.
On top of all this, early in the morning, in the unheated kitchen after a sleepless night, his wife had placed a cup of cold coffee on the table in front of him and asked for shopping money, which, at the end of the month, he didn't have to give her. After this, Alimpije Markovic felt that his troubles were too much for him. ''Too much misery for one man to bear,'' he thought, taking his coat and descending the dark staircase.
It was dark. The streetlights had been extinguished, and those of the heavens , still unlit, or still weak and not yet luminous, had not broken through the smoke, the fog, and the low clouds. The streets were almost deserted; only a stray passer-by hurried along here and there, hunched and chilled. Those who did not have to go out early, and could laze in warm beds as long as they liked, should count their blessings, Alimpije Markovic thought.
A few people passed by him, coming from the other direction or overtaking him. Workers hurrying to the depots of the city bus lines, charwomen hurrying home, their work finished before the shops and offices opened, early travellers, departing or arriving by train.
Two or three people greeted him in passing - those whom he passed practically every day in the street, not really knowing them - but even they only waved a hand by way of greeting, as everyone had his head bent.
Then two large women appeared, walking in his direction, taking up so much of the sidewalk that he wondered how he could pass them. Would he have to step down into the water, or would it be better to huddle close to the wall, and perhaps to move out of their path into the nearest doorway until the women had passed? He felt they would run over him, like a truck or a tractor come up onto the sidewalk; in his miserable mood, not wishing to collide with anyone that morning , he moved to the wall and stood against it sideways, facing the street, giving the women a free passage and waiting for them to go by. Even so, the one nearest him practically brushed against him. And precisely she, who seemed to him the younger of the two, said in passing, addressing her friend sufficiently clearly and distinctly for him to hear:
''I tell you: I am so very happy!''
Only that, and just so! He didn't even catch the other woman's answer, if she made one at all. Firm, not caring where they were stepping and not avoiding the puddles in the road, both women walked hurriedly, as if marching, and Alimpije Markovic had caught in the moment only that fragment of a sentence that met his ear in an instant, just as their passing had caused a current of air to brush his face and his nose was assailed by the smell of garlic from the cheap sausages the women had eaten that morning in their homes, or along the way . . . in some canteen.
''Merciful heavens,'' Alimpije Markovic said to himself in his depressed, worried, and downcast mood, splashing through the mud puddles, already feeling his feet getting wet in his thin, worn-out shoes, ''Who can be so happy on a day like this, going to work early in the morning along deserted streets, with only an occasional chilled and rain-drenched pedestrian walking along, bowed under his cares, wanting to take shelter in a dry, warm room as soon as possible?'' And why, for what mysterious reason, would a woman like that, not young, not pretty, not rich or idle, be happy and satisfied? Even more than that, why would she be so very happy?
''For love?'' he asked himself, accustomed to judging a woman's happiness by newspaper stories and office chatter. He didn't think so. From what he had seen at a glimpse in passing, she hadn't given him that impression.
Even if she were married, it seemed, judging by her appearance, and her age, that she had been in wedlock too long for her union to be the cause of such happiness on her part. After all, Alimpije Markovic knew this for himself, by looking at himself and his own wife. Admittedly, he had no cause to complain about her, but she certainly gave him no reason to seek to unburden his feelings to others, and that in the street, on a morning such as this.
What was it, then? What was it about, and what had the woman been thinking of , saying what she did?
Suddenly, to his great wonder, that one single, isolated sentence, which he had heard in passing and with the flimsiest particle of his attention as the women were walking past him, came to embody and disclose so many unusual, secret , and fateful issues, as if, like some magic conjuration from a tale of the Orient, it had suddenly unfastened and drawn wide open the great doors of the heavenly, universal firmament, with all its endless, infinite, and incomprehensible reaches, with room for as many human destinies as there were heavenly bodies in the Milky Way in the summer. And what seems to us a simple whitish path in the night sky proves, when viewed through the narrow funnel of a telescope, to be a teeming multitude and indecipherable network of different, autonomous stars, as if we had peered into the seemingly uncomplicated life of someone else's inhabited rooms and discovered, to our surprise, the complex life of a family unknown to us.
And with all the cold, unpleasant damp that was increasingly gripping him, and his own troubles which weighed him down as he walked, bending his back - discovering in the words of that unknown woman passing by an intimation of the pleasant echo of distant silver sleigh bells, of happiness - he, Alimpije Markovic, felt how that accidentally intercepted sentence was beginning to excite and to warm him, lifting him from the numbness into which he had sunk, and from the dreariness of daily life.
If the woman had said she was unhappy, worried about her work or concerned about her daughter or son; if she had complained of her small salary, of the high prices at the market, or her shabby apartment, he would not have noticed her words.
But in the foul mood in which he'd left his home, in the damp and desolate morning that heralded the rest of the dreary day, it seemed to him that he had slid from the threshold of his home, as from a quay or from the deck of a ship, into icy, muddy, dirty water, which was bearing him along. The sentence had placed within his grip a life belt that could keep him on the surface, and had offered him something firm and permanent.
''I tell you: I am so very happy!'' rang in his ears.
Had she received some news that morning which had made her so happy: a better job in the enterprise where she worked, so she wouldn't have to go out so early, into such foggy and unpleasant mornings, or spend her working hours pushing her way through crowds in packed, stifling buses? Or perhaps she had simply been pleased by a small sign of attention - a present for her birthday from her husband and child.
For, Alimpije Markovic asked himself, did human happiness always require a great and important reason? Or did a kind, pleasant word, a small sign of attention and goodwill, sometimes suffice? And this very simple realization of the modest causes and reasons for human happiness seemed to light one light after another within Alimpije Markovic, as he walked to his office, until he was glowing inside, festively lit like the New Years trees they had decorated at home while the children were still small.
He pushed his head out of his coat collar, like a tortoise poking out of its shell. He paused on the corner, and before crossing the street, looked back down the road he had covered.
''I tell you: I am so very happy!'' He seemed to hear the woman's voice again. This time, no longer silvery clear, but somehow caressing, dovelike, cooing and warm, like an invitation just for him. Judging by that voice, the young woman might not even be as rough and soldierly as he had thought in passing. Perhaps she was even pretty, or at least attractive and sweet, with something good and gentle in her expression, Alimpije Markovic thought, and wished he could see her again, for just a moment. Forgetting the piles of papers waiting on his desk, and his decision not to be late for work that morning, he turned and retraced his steps, hurrying between the pedestrians, dodging or brushing aside those who blocked his path.
But the two women in grey conductors' overcoats were nowhere to be seen. They had gone too far, turned off into a side street, or perhaps dropped into some shop.
Entering his office building, he thought that perhaps it was better this way. There could only have been one answer to his question, perhaps completely insignificant, nothing to do with him, his moods, and troubles. This way, with no precise or complete explanation, that statement of happiness would remain to him an isolated, joyful cry!
Bright and smiling as he walked, late, along the stairways and corridors past his surprised colleagues, Alimpije Markovic had the feeling that, this morning, someone completely unknown had accidentally made him a great gift. Alimpije Markovic, law clerk in the Palilula Municipal Assembly, felt enriched and happy because he had noticed those unusual words, had picked them up, out of the dirty street, and, taking them with him, had placed them in honoured and respected positions.

Gwendolyn's Industrial Cozy Kitchen
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:

- Own
- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- Our kitchen is open and bright with industrial touches, while maintaining the warm coziness of our living space.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- When we moved in 8 years ago, our late-70s house had a boxed-in, low-ceiling kitchen, complete with yellowed oak cabinets and gold laminate countertops. It was like a honey oak cave! There was just one point of entry, so our main goal was to really open it up, and make the kitchen part of the living and dining area.
We didn't have a ton of space to work with, so one of the main challenges after removing all those cabinets was storage! Ikea and the restaurant supply store have been great resources. Without the cabinets or countertop for the sink and dishwasher, we had to get creative. Our freestanding commercial sink has become of our favorite features.
We've also learned to simply make do with less stuff. (Does anyone really need 23 different plastic storage containers or 12 mixing bowls?)
With the exception of the tile, we've done most of the work ourselves, and it was (and still is!) a long work in progress.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- We like to keep it simple. Lots of one-pot meals like turkey chili, with some jalapeno cornbread on the side. We live in a warm climate, so we can also grill outside most of the year, which we love.

Bayern routs Barcelona 4-0 in Champions League
For once, Barcelona was on the wrong end of the kind of rout it
so often inflicts on others.
And with Bayern Munich in such devastating form, even a fully
fit Lionel Messi might not have made much difference.
Thomas Mueller scored twice, Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben had
one goal each and Bayern Munich routed Barcelona 4-0 Tuesday night
in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal. Bayern
humbled the Spanish powerhouse by taking full advantage of Messi's
subpar performance.
"We knew we were able to give them a good competition," winger
Arjen Robben said. "This team (Barcelona) has dominated Europe
over the last five years and if you beat them like this, I think
you can be proud."
In a game perhaps signaling a shift in power, Bayern Munich sent
Barcelona to its first four-goal defeat since a 4-0 loss at Getafe
in the Copa del Rey semifinals on May 10, 2007. Barcelona, which
has won three of the last seven titles, had lost by four goals only
once before in the Champions League, 4-0 at Dynamo Kiev in the
group stage on Nov. 6, 1997.
"We can be proud, we played a terrific game, everybody,"
Robben said. "We fought for every meter and we didn't give them
much space to play."
Mueller scored on a close-range header in the 25th minute after
Franck Ribery's corner kick went to the far post, where Robben
crossed to Dante for a header back across the goal.
Gomez doubled the lead in the 49th against a defense missing
injured center backs Carles Puyol and Javier Mascherano. Ribery's
corner kick went to the far post, where Mueller rose over Daniel
Alves and headed across for Gomez, who may have been offside.
Robben made it 3-0 in the 73rd when he worked around a pick by
Mueller and slotted an angled shot past goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
Mueller got his second goal in the 82nd off a pass swung in by
David Alaba.
"When it comes to big games, I just go wild," Mueller
Barca is in a hole it might have no chance of climbing from.
"Wonders are difficult to achieve, 4-0 is an enormous result.
We want to play with pride and we'll try (our) best," assistant
coach Jordi Roura said.
Barcelona left back Jordi Alba received a yellow card in the
89th minute and is suspended for the second leg of the total-goals
series on May 1 in Barcelona.
Borussia Dortmund hosts Real Madrid on Wednesday in the start of
the other semifinal.
Four-time world player of the year Messi, slowed by a hamstring
injury, made his first start since April 2, but wasn't a factor.
Barcelona had few chances, while Bayern used its size to outmuscle
the Spanish team on restarts.
Messi has been bothered by the hamstring injury for three weeks
and was only declared fit to play shortly before the match. But the
four-time FIFA player of the year was a pale shadow of himself.
"Leo tried really hard just to be here, he gave everything, but
he couldn't do more," Roura said.
With Messi struggling, none of his teammates was able to create
"You have to have a plan against Barcelona and the players
executed it very well," said Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes, who will
be replaced by former Barcelona counterpart Pep Guardiola after
this season. "Barcelona has a certain philosophy, but my players
knew exactly what they had to do on the field. We defended as a
team, we really wanted not to concede a goal at home and we
achieved that.
"At the same time, we were creative in attack, and if we gain
space, we can beat any team in the world. But Barcelona is still
one of the best teams and there are still 90 minutes to play. We
haven't qualified yet."

Schedule could be a little tricky for the 49ers
Nevertheless, they have the sort of schedule that could cause them an uneasy moment or two.
In late September, the Niners have the unenviable task of playing at St. Louis just four days after hosting Indianapolis in San Francisco. Fourteen of the 17 Thursday games in 2013 pit teams either in the same time zone or just one time zone apart, with the 49ers, the Ravens (who travel to Denver in Week One) and Raiders (at Dallas on Thanksgiving) the exceptions.
Later in the campaign, the 49ers play 4-of-5 games on the road, with a bye and home game vs. Carolina sandwiched between contests at Tennessee (Week Seven), at Jacksonville in London (Week Eight), New Orleans (Week 11) and Washington (Week 12). The New Orleans and Washington matchups look the sternest tests of this four-pack of road trips, though the 49ers already have road wins against both opponents in Jim Harbaugh's tenure.
A challenging road game could come in Week 15, when the 49ers play at Tampa seven days after hosting rival Seattle. If the 49ers are drained after a slugfest with the Seahawks — who are exceptionally skilled and major contenders in their own right — then Buccaneers could give them trouble.
The Niners' season finale at Arizona also appears tricky. The previous Monday, the 49ers host the Falcons in a game that could be material to the NFC playoff picture. The Cardinals can be tough at home and figure to be up for the game whether contending or playing out the string.
Of course, by Week 17, the 49ers could be resting starters, the NFC West title again in their grasp. If that's the case, they will have aced some tests lesser teams would have flunked.

"Burn Notice," the spy-themed action drama on USA will come to an end after its seventh season, set to debut June 6.
Fans of the series, which has inspired a devoted cult following and a spin-off prequel movie, "Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe," can reasonably expect that the series will be given a proper ending. The show's producers are promising this final season will reveal the details behind the mysterious deal the "burned" agent Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan) made at the end of the sixth season.
The series will cross the 100-episode mark during its final season, making it just the third USA series to hit that mark. The other two series to hold this distinction are "Monk" and "Psych."
PHOTOS: Memorable TV series finales
Recurring guest stars in the show's final season include Jack Coleman, Adrian Pasdar and Stephen Martines.
According to Deadline, series creator Matt Nix is already setting up his follow-up series at USA, with the ER doctor drama "Complications" going into development. It will follow a doctor whose life changes after he survives a gang shooting.
On Twitter, series star Bruce Campbell told fans that "Burn Notice" -- which will have 111 episodes by the end -- is "a home run in the TV record books. No tears needed."

Review: Mount Gay Eclipse (Gold)
Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 15, 2010
As mentioned two weeks ago, the distributors for Mount Gay (Select Wines) have arranged for me to receive a few samples of their Mount Gay Rum for the purpose of reviewing them on my website. This is the second review in this series and today I am sharing my experiences with the Mount Gay Eclipse Rum.
It was in 1910 that the appearance of Haley's comet coincided with a total solar eclipse, and this event is said to have inspired Mount Gay Rum to create the Eclipse Rum. The Eclipse is a traditional double distilled rum produced from copper pot stills and aged in white Kentucky oak barrels which were previously used to age bourbon. I found that when I was patient with the spirit, I could catch glimpses of the Kentucky Bourbon in both the aroma and flavour.
Here is an Excerpt from my Review:
"…The initial aroma from the glass is laced with caramel and orange peel. Allowing the glass to decant reveals the scents of deep brown sugar and toffee spices. Interestingly I also catch wiffs of a nice woody apricot brandy, a ribbon of bourbon and vanilla, and more subtle smoky aromas of dried fruit, tobacco and oak tannin…"

[Description developed by modifying information in Watson et al. 208]
There is only one species in Peridictyon, P. sanctum
Endemic to the Northern Greece and southwestern Bulgaria
Miscellaneous comments
The key in Flora Europaea indicates that the spikelets in Peridictyon and Festucopsis are radial to the rachis, but the descriptions do not include this comment and it is not evident on the only specimens of Festucopsis that I have seen. I have not seen any specimens of Peridictyon(yet).
Alternative interpretations
The only species of Peridictyon was included in Festucopsis until Seberg et al. (1991) recommended treating it as a distinct genus.
Type species
Peridictyon sanctum (Janka) Seberg, Fred. & Baden
Known problems
A more comprehensive description is desirable.

Turntable? Who needs a turntable?
The current tour of "Les Miserables" might have left its most famous piece of staging behind, but with the heart, passion and care invested in this production you won't miss it one bit.
At last, Orlando's touring Broadway series hosts a show in which the cast measures up to the caliber of the production.
Freed of the revolving stage floor, "Les Miz" feels less mechanical, more organic. The cast seems liberated from rote singing the familiar songs, and many employ a dramatic mix of talking-singing that doesn't take away from the music but adds layers to the characters.
And these characters are angry, gloriously angry, at the injustice of their poverty and the callousness of society's upper echelons in 1830s Paris.
That anger is embodied in a youthful Fantine (Betsy Morgan), the factory worker forced into prostitution. Morgan reminds us that Fantine's signature song, "I Dreamed a Dream" is almost seething with rage at the world under its haunting melody, a far cry from the sweetly bland pop versions.
Directors Laurence Connor and James Powell let their production show off the grittiness of Victor Hugo's classic tale of redemption while delivering its hopeful message.
Chasten Harmon tempers Eponine's edge with streetwise sadness, while Max Quinlan gives Marius a beautifully believable transition from naïve boy to man. Andrew Varela's puffed-up Javert spits his self-righteous words with smug satisfaction. And J. Mark McVey boasts a powerful singing voice that shows Valjean's ragged edges at the show's start and smoothes out as his character struggles and grows, culminating in a knockout "Bring Him Home."
Little moments in the staging emphasize the story's theme of what it really means to lead a just life: Drunken student Grantaire keeps a close eye on street urchin Gavroche, creating new emotional moments. A reunion between Valjean and the kindly bishop who set him on his path to righteousness makes the finale even more poignant.
The decadence of the so-called respectable people is emphasized with a bawdy rendition of "Master of the House" and cavorting townspeople who deny Valjean a roof over his head.
And there's a nod to that iconic turntable in a stylized march sequence that effectively conveys the tension and anticipation behind the anthemic "One Day More."
Technical advances since the 1980s mean the scenes revealing Javert's fate or Valjean's journey through the Paris sewers deliver new thrills. A few opening-night technical bobbles — a stuck shutter, a bobbing spotlight — couldn't detract from the best touring production I've seen at the Bob Carr in years.
After more than a quarter of a century the "Les Miserables" rallying cry rings out refreshed, clear and strong: Do you hear the people sing? Oh, yes, and it's a glorious sound.

$500M drilling deal for Pittsburgh airport riles nearby residents
Paul D. McLaughlin Jr. recalls feeling heat rise up his neck when he heard about the $500 million deal for airport gas drilling.
McLaughlin, 66, lives in Moon, about three blocks from Pittsburgh International Airport, on land where his grandfather's family once mined coal, he said. Though many people his age are retiring, McLaughlin works a 4 a.m. to noon shift at an airport-area garage to pay his bills and help a niece through college.
Allegheny County's deal with Consol Energy Inc. for shale gas drilling on airport property might have taken his chance to make life a little easier, he realized.
McLaughlin is one of at least 300 people offered pennies for oil and gas rights from which the Allegheny County Airport Authority is about to make millions. The county used eminent domain condemnations in court to acquire 9,000 acres the authority is leasing to Cecil-based Consol.
The most recent acquisitions were in 2004 and 2005, when the county offered 50 members of the McLaughlin family and 32 other families $1 to split for each parcel of their mineral rights.
"It just seems like we were robbed," McLaughlin said. "I told my sister, 'Did you see what these crooks did?' They said there was nothing of value out there. And lo and behold, they're going to make $500 million in the next 20 years."
Some residents have protested airport land acquisition since government leaders started using eminent domain to condemn land for an airport in the 1950s. A few landowners appealed in court over the decades with mixed results.
Court records do not show how many of them negotiated better offers, nor how much money the county paid in total to acquire airport land and mineral rights. Lawyers for the county and airport said they did not have those figures.
Government representatives fully followed the law during condemnations, said Downtown attorney Jeff Letwin, an airport authority lawyer since its 1999 inception. He ensured the airport took control of missing mineral rights, he said.
"I felt it was important," Letwin said. "We were about to embark on an aggressive real estate plan that we've been successful with, and I didn't want anybody to make any claims that could prevent that from happening."
When County Executive Rich Fitzgerald was County Council president from 2004 to 2011, he signed legislation authorizing the last two eminent domain efforts to take coal, oil, gas, limestone and other mineral rights at the airport. He declined comment for this story, referring questions to the authority.
Even in 2005, almost no one had heard of the Marcellus and Utica shale formations that drillers now are tapping for natural gas, airport officials said. The combination of sideways drilling and hydraulic fracturing to crack the shale allows Consol to plan six to eight well pads on the airport's perimeter and access gas even under runways.
Range Resources Corp. demonstrated promising signs of how well fracking would work in the Marcellus in October 2004 — 10 months before the county filed its last of eight eminent domain cases. But Range didn't make public its success until 2007.
No airport officials heard of the possibility until 2008, and they made their first attempt to bid out drilling rights that year, Letwin said.
The county and airport didn't take mineral rights to get rich off gas royalties, their lawyers argued in court filings at the time. They did so to keep mining and drilling companies off the land, to protect airport buildings, runways and surrounding commercial development from risks such as land subsidence, officials have said.
Not everyone bought that argument.
In an appeal to Commonwealth Court in 2003, a lawyer argued that the county hadn't proved it took the land for public good, as the law requires. It took land to lease it to other private parties, argued Diana Slivinska, who represented Carol Nicoletti, a coal rights owner from Findlay.
"You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that. It's essentially government engaging in land speculation" on the cheap, at the expense of people whose land it took, Slivinska said in a recent interview. "This is not how government is supposed to function. This is not how government is supposed to treat its citizens."
Those citizens didn't necessarily own the mineral rights, though, and that's one reason the county commonly made low offers, said Lynda Dupre, a Ligonier lawyer who was hired as outside counsel for the county and airport authority.
Some people owned mineral estates that were separated from surface properties decades ago, and that's how the county ended up with land but not all the mineral rights. Some people had only leases that would have long ago expired, Dupre said.
County officials made nominal offers to everyone as a precaution, because it's often hard to tell a lease from a sale in 19th-century documents, she said.
"They wanted to clear everything up," she said. "You don't want someone to say they can come out here and they have a right to put a well right in the middle of a parking lot."
The case would be tough to fight now because courts likely won't show sympathy for people who didn't challenge the county's offer, lawyers said. In eminent domain cases, citizens have about five years to challenge, according to David B. Snyder, a lawyer with Fox Rothschild LLP in Philadelphia.
"That's a pretty bright line," said Snyder, an expert on Pennsylvania eminent domain law. "If you blow that five years and you haven't challenged the amount of money they're offering you, it's just like a statute of limitations. ... You're out of luck."
Leticia Haxall blames her situation on her ignorance.
Haxall, 84, of Oceanside, Calif., might be the farthest flung of the oil and gas heirs, including some who moved to Florida and Maine, court documents show. The county's offer told her she had six years to challenge, but she never did.
"My son told me not to sign off on that" $1 offer, said Haxall, who learned of the $500 million deal in a Tribune-Review phone call. "He told me, 'They'll find oil under that airport, for sure, if you sign off on that.' But I did anyway. Oh dear."
Many residents said it didn't make sense for them to pay attorneys or experts for rights that might get them only $1 to split among dozens of heirs. The county approached some family members who were elderly or ailing, they said.
"It just kind of overwhelmed everybody, and everybody just kind of walked away from it," said McLaughlin, who said his father was battling diabetes at the time. "We were more concerned about him than we were the property like that. ... It just feels like it's like David going up against Goliath."
Ownership issues became part of negotiations between Consol and the county. Airport officials accepted responsibility for any title challenges, Letwin said. Consol withheld $1 million of its initial $50 million payment, pending clarification of a few parcels, he said.
That's standard in a mineral rights deal, lawyers said. It's especially true for a deal so big and on land with a complicated history, said C. William Kenny, an attorney with Berger and Green on Washington's Landing.
"There's $500 million at stake here, and there's a sense of entitlement as an American that 'That's my property,' " Kenny said. "Somebody's going to challenge it."

Smith told the Grand County Council on Tuesday, June 4, he wants the local EMS office to attain certification as a paramedic agency from the Utah Bureau of Emergency Services.
"There are financial incentives," he said.
Smith explained that trips taking patients to hospitals result in significantly higher payments when a paramedic is involved. Currently, the county EMS office has four paramedics who handle 34 percent of the calls, he said.
Boosting the number of paramedic responses to 50 percent would result in about $140,000 more in revenue per year, Smith said.
He acknowledged the change would increase the cost to patients. However, Smith said insurance companies would cover the bill.
He told council members that training to become a paramedic costs $9,000 per person. Half of that amount could come from EMS funding, he said, while the eight people who want to become paramedics are willing to pay the other half.
Smith said he wouldn't ask for county general fund money for the required education. The process to get full state certification as a paramedic agency has been studied at length and could take four to five years, he added.
"We didn't hastily put this together," Smith said.
Despite the possibility of increasing revenue for the EMS office, he said boosting the number of paramedics has a bigger payoff.
"The most important reason to become a paramedic agency is to have those skills that can save lives," Smith said.
The council listened to the report, but a decision whether to authorize the change will be made during a future meeting.
Council vice chairman Lynn Jackson voiced support for increasing the level of service to community residents. But he said the council will want financial data.
"We'll be looking at a pretty detailed cost-to-benefit analysis," Jackson said.
Council member Elizabeth Tubbs said she is "extremely supportive" of the idea.
"I don't think we can afford not to do it," she said.

Philip Anselmo is best know as a front man for the bands Pantera, Down and Superjoint Ritual. His reputation for having a larger than life personality did not fail to live up to itself when I recently interviewed him. Anselmo is currently on tour playing guitar with the band Arson Anthem. The Arson Anthem tour is also showcasing the talents of the bands Harp and Warbeast. All bands on the tour are on the label started by Anselmo, Housecore Records. I recommend all of them if you want a dose of good, old, face-rocking metal and punk rock.
I met up with Phil and Shelton Hank Williams (drummer for Arson Anthem, better known as the front man for Hank III) and took some pictures of some work that they both had by Paul Booth. Phil was enthusiastic to talk about his tattoos.
Rose Riot: What was your first tattoo?
Phil: Right here on my arm "PHILCORE!" It's knuckles with skull rings and it says "Philcore." I'm not covering it up 'cause I can remember bein' 18 years old, feelin' invincible, like I could walk through walls, and maybe I could. At the time there was speed core, hard core, this core and that core. I said, "Fuck it, Philcore." Now, I have Texas friends that still call me "Core" with that Texas accent. No escaping it now, it stays.
Who did your first piece?
This old biker motherfucker –mean motherfucker, Randy Adams, lovable mother fucker, I miss him. Haven't seen him in a long time. He's at Papa San Tattoos.
What was your last piece?
I'm guessing' across the back of my neck, "Lifer." I got that done in Australia by some obscure motherfucker. You know when you get that itch and you just say, "I need some ink?" It's one I can live by, 'cause I've been doin' the same thing since I was 13 years old. I don't see me changing' occupations any time soon. It's also the title of a Down song. I'm livin' the life, talkin' the talk, walkin' the walk. When we play that song "Lifer" I always send it out to Dime Bag for obvious reasons. In his life, Dime Bag was the epitome of a fuckin' lifer. If there is a picture in the dictionary of that word, it should be him.
Which tattoo is your favorite?
Naw, I don't have a favorite. I do like the Paul Booth. I grew up in a time in the tattoo world during a phase when people were getting sailor girls and dragons. People were just starting to do more interesting work.
What year did you get your first piece?
1988, that was a turning point time…
What is something you would never get?
Tribal! Fuckin' cheesy, fuckin' chalk-white motherfuckers walkin' around with tribal tattoos. I know a pro football player, he's about as white as a fuckin' piece of chalk, he's a honky motherfucker. I rag on him so much about his tribal tattoo.
You said earlier that you wouldn't get anything removed. So there is nothing you would get removed?
If I had the choice of completely "x-ing" out my ex-wife, yeah, I would do that. Instead, I put the real face on her.
(Phil lifts his sleeve to show me a girl with a demon face.)
So let's talk about fan tattoos. What do you think when you see a fan with a tattoos from one of your bands?
Man, I had a kid jump on stage in Brazil, this motherfucker had a loose replica of every tattoo I had at the time. It was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. I stopped the whole motherfuckin' show. I said, "Look at this fuckin' dude!" He came up on stage amongst the stage divers, he shows me his arms while I was jamming' on stage. I would love to have a picture of that.
Last night some dude got my autograph tattooed. You know what, it makes me feel good, it's good. I'm not gonna lie, it makes me feel proud. It makes me feel like there is no way I can take a step to let that motherfucker down.
So do you have plans for more?
Yes, I do! If Paul wants to scribble on me some more, sure… I have a fleur-de-lis that has served me long and well. In the early 90s, the New Orleans Saints were a joke of an NFL team, but when you grow up as toddler standing in front of the TV set in 1980 whatever the fuck year it was… The only true American tradition in my book that makes any sense is NFL football. I respect the fuck out of it. So my future piece is gonna say, "2009 NFC Champs" above the fleur-de-lis, then underneath it's gonna say, "Super Bowl 44 World Champions." You just got a lesson in football little lady! Ha-ha!
Although Phil loves football, I doubt you will be seeing any of his bands, past or present, playing the halftime show at the Super Bowl, but if they did I might actually consider watching the Super Bowl and you might actually consider watching the halftime show!

Conservation is first of all about people
Posted on 30 April 2012
Costel Bucur is the Head of Forestry & Protected Areas at WWF Central and Eastern Europe.
Meet Costel Bucur, the Head of Forestry & Protected Areas at WWF Central and Eastern EuropeDuring his last summer vacation before leaving high school in Romania, Costel had to decide what path to take in life. His pragmatic friends all wanted to be IT specialists, economists, lawyers and, occasionally, doctors, but he was determined to go against the flow. Being good at maths, made Forestry and Biology a suitable major and he went for it. Once a student, he found that most of his colleagues were already very knowledgeable about forestry, coming from Romania's Forestry High School. "At that time I could only distinguish between two types of trees - fir trees and non-fir trees", Costel jokes.
Being a forester in Romania today is not exactly glamorous according to Costel. "20 years ago the forester was part of the core team of any community, along with the priest, the teacher, the mayor and the police officer. Nowadays you are just meant to take care of trees according to the standards set by whoever is in power. Nobody asks your opinion on how forests should be run."
And still Costel thinks that being a forester is one of the most useful jobs on earth. "It might sound like a cliché but conservation is - like many other things – first of all about people."
Costel's first job was as Forest Engineer at Romsilva, Romania's state forestry company. "I learnt something crucial at that time. If you want to raise your voice and express an opinion, you have to know what you are talking about. This is especially important at WWF. Because we are a science-based organization, we cannot afford to just sound the alarm when something is wrong. We have to come up with viable solutions and this is really challenging. We need well-trained, serious people talking and doing serious things."
But what is it like being a forester in Romania today? "Nowadays there is always a danger of becoming a "desktop forester", but I'd rather use a GPS in the woods than a laptop. I try to limit the desktop work I do. During my eleven years as a forester, I learnt that you cannot picture a forest based on what you read about it. Most of the time it will be different. And much more beautiful! I try to find as many opportunities as possible to go out in the field, because this is what mandates you to talk about the real issues. Also, a day out is like a holyday. When my workload gets too heavy, I dream of becoming a ranger!"
For Costel, keeping his connection with nature alive is extremely important. And nature usually rewards him for this. "I once witnessed a very rare thing, a dance by capercaillies (Tetrao urogallus) on top of a ridge right before sunrise. This is where and when capercaillies feel safe enough to perform their mating fights. Usually you can see two or three males in one place at a time, but I was rewarded with an awesome site – seven lovely capercaillies started dancing, singing and drawing circles on the ground. Hiking to the site I had seen a young stag, which ran gracefully in the evening mist, and a huge wild boar which took a long hard look at me before disappearing in the forest. What a feast! Instead of staying at home to watch the UEFA Cup semi-final in which a Romanian club was playing (I love soccer!), I had grabbed my last chance for the season to see a dancing suite of capercaillies and had been rewarded."
According to Costel, education is the most important thing that would help his profession today. "People have to be taught and then to discover that we are part of nature and we live from it and through it. Any other recipe for life on Earth will fail sooner or later."
He is concerned that the need for development (especially of transport infrastructure) and the increased pressure on natural resources are very big threats to what we call "sustainable development". WWF in the region is addressing these threats at all levels. "Starting with pilot projects on specific topics and our engagement in various planning processes, to a great deal of work on policy and advocacy. But the most challenging part actually is to convince people that you are working for their benefit and by supporting you, they are supporting a better and safer future."
The WWF DCP Forestry and Protected Areas team, which Costel leads, works across Central and Eastern Europe. He sees a lot of similarities between Romania and Bulgaria – unspoiled nature and stage of development for example, but also some differences. "Bulgarians are more active in terms of civil society and public attitudes. This means that WWF there has to play a catalyzing role, to provide solutions and to add its support to this great effort. In Romania, on the other hand, WWF has to do more on specific environmental issues, but also in terms of creating capacity for local NGOs in order to strengthen civil society in the country. In the case of Serbia and Ukraine, we have to lead by example. To use trans-boundary projects and tangible actions is the most effective way we can convince our partners in these countries and also their decision-makers at different levels. Creating capacity through staff training, supporting different actions for sensitive issues, using the formal international agreements (e.g. Carpathian Convention) for communication and knowledge-sharing are also important tools."
When he is not taking care of the forests and protected areas of Central and Eastern Europe, Costel can be found looking after his two daughters, watching movies, reading philosophy books, walking around and observing people. "And talking to them. I like to learn from people!"
