Many people have made chocolate chip cookies in their life. Maybe you use the same online recipe or a recipe from your great-grandma, or you wrote down what your mom told you to use. I used to be like the former and use the same old boring recipe because it was the recipe I was used to. But not anymore! Now I've tried a few different online recipes and I have found one that really makes my cookies just right. If you decide to try this, tell me how it works out, but if you want to stick with grandma's good ol' snickerdoodles, be my guest.
Ingredients (Makes 20-30 cookies):
-2 1/4 cups flour
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 pinch salt
-1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
-3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
-2/3 cup granulated sugar
-2 large eggs
-1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips Continue reading "The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe"

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for April 2013.
Apparently I have (well, we ALL have) some kind of rocks or crystals in the ear. When these go on vacation in some other area than where they should be, it causes a sense of dizziness and vertigo. I experienced this two years ago (when last pregnant), then it continued for about two weeks (and was a lot worse). I've now felt dizzy and slightly sick for two days, it's not as bad as it was the first time, but man… it SUCKS big time! It helps to move your head from side to side, even better if you lie down, so that's what I do (even though the dizziness gets even worse as soon as I sit or lie down). Since it's not as bad as last time, I'm hoping it'll pass soon (or I won't be able to work at all this week, too bad. Too baaaaaad.)
We have a national holiday this week, Wednesday is May 1st and we all get time off from work (unless you work, then you're at work). Next week we have another holiday on Thursday, meaning that we all get Friday off as well. I do so like May in Sweden…
Tomorrow I have an appointment at the hospital. Five years ago I was diagnosed with skin cancer, they removed the afflicted mole and I've been on regular checkups ever since. I find it kinda ironic that I, who smothered myself in sunscreen and was ever so careful, got skin cancer. After reading a poster at the hospital I found that out of 12 things listed I hit 10 spot on (blonde, green eyes, always red first then tanned, many moles etc etc.).
So peoples! Listen up: Skin Cancer is NOT all it's jacked up to be. Be careful when you're in the sun and stay in the shade between 11 am – 3 pm (that's when the sun's rays do the most damage).
Anyhow, I'm taking my dizzy self and playing some Kinect Adventures with the kids. Moving about is so much better than resting.
Gawd! Every morning this week I've turned the alarm off and gone back to sleep. No time for breakfast… put my face on, find clothes that aren't too bad and zoom off in my car.
What I miss most is a nice cuppa; at work I have lukewarm water from the coffee machine and milk from small pyramid shaped cartons, but at least the tea's decent. I think I might have to go take a walk during lunch, to the candy store a few blocks away from school (yeah, 'cuz it's Friday, I'm an adult and I eat as much candy as I please!).
Riiiiiiight, so I should get cracking with any kind of work related thing. But I find myself browsing YouTube for silly gaming videos. I have a few channels I keep coming back to and it always makes me happy when they have something new for me to look at, or when I find an old gem that I've missed (I wanna go home to my Xbox!!!).
I'm playing Mass Effect (one) again, there are some bugs (not talking about the Rachni here) that annoy the heck out of me, but the story is so AWESOME! I'm sooo in love with that game (which you might have noticed if you've read my blog) and I want them to make more games… yes, the original story line is all done, but there's a whole galaxy out there! Make more Mass Effect games!!!
Blergh, I'm getting all grumpy here; wishing I was home playing Mass Effect and stuffing my face with candy.
I need a break.
Time to go down to the teacher's lounge and get another cuppa.
Right. Priorities. I need to make a list of things that need doing and then in what order they need to be done (boooring).
- Edit uni essay
- Print papers for parent-teacher meetings
- Correct papers
- Edit short story for competition
- Finish writing novel
I really (really really) wish I could turn that list around, delete most of it and just do what I love. Anyone up to donating a crapload of money, for me to follow my dream and not have to deal with trivial things like work?
I'm quite sure there's someone out there with more money than they need and I on the other hand would exactly know what to do with some of it. I'll just keep hoping for it then…
The missing essay turned up, the student had taken it home with her… not my fault then after all (which is what I've claimed all along). On the other hand, I should have double checked the pile. Or, nah. I can't be bothered anymore. It's been found, it'll be sent off and that's the end of that.
Something I'll miss about this place is the printer/copier; it's brill to have when I want to print my own stuff and proof read my texts. I can do that to some extent on the screen, but after a while I go all cross-eyed and miss mistakes. If it's printed it's easier to read. Today I printed one of my shorts, it's a little over 9000 words and that's WAY too much to proof read on screen.
Anyhow people, the day's begun and I have stuff to do (all super boring and paying the bills).
There's only one thing keeping me together at the moment… buckets and buckets of tea. Don't know why, but I've been super emotional these last few days. It's a little inconvenient since it has me tearing up at the slightest hint of sorrow, anger, fatigue or happiness.
The other day, going home from Gothenburg, I was listening to "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and very sad things were happening in the story. I kept staring out the window blinking tears out of my eyes when they came to check our tickets. She gave my teary eyes and runny nose an arched eyebrow, but I just smiled apologetically and turned to stare out the window again (maybe I just need to get my act together and stop being such a sap?).
Anyhow, I've sent a job application to a school in a nearby town, I do so hope to get that job! It's only for one year, someone's on maternity leave, but it would be one year of not having to worry that much about money.
… down to Gothenburg. My essay writing partner and I had decided that we would meet today and talk about our essay and try to see what we have left. Turned out it's not *that* much that needs doing, which was a nice surprise. We're going to email our supervisor some questions, and depending on his answers we're more or less done.
I love going to Gothenburg. The crowds, the shops, the atmosphere, the trams and just being by myself is such a relief from my everyday routine. I love being with my kids (alright husband, you're not too bad…) but having time to myself, going at my own pace, doing what I like – that's priceless.
Tomorrow's the best day of the week: Sunday and ballet class. I finally have a pair of shoes (Wheeee!)!!! They look something like this (not my feet and perfectly shaved legs!).
Anyhow, I'm going to let the essay be at the moment. Can't focus anymore tonight and I really want to send a short story to a competition (can't decide which one to send though), so the rest of today is going to be spent reading and editing one or two short stories (and eat lots of chocolate and drink buckets of tea).
No, I don't have any real friends, in real life, outside of the interweb. So now I'm hoping random people out in interweb space will notice me and wish me a happy birthday (pathetic doesn't even begin to describe me)…
Nah, I'm just really narcissistic.
Anyhow, I was challanged by a student yesterday: "Read this novel in one day!" It's "Tomorrow when the war began" and I'm all like: "Pffff… I read 1000 pages in one day, I think I can manage 270!" I only got to page 99 before having to head to bed, luckily I don't have that class until 2.30 this afternoon (it's now 8am), so I still have time to get all the way.
Because I NEED to win this (don't have to explain why now, do I?!)
Bugger, I'm late for our morning staff meeting (we get birthday cake today!)…
I got an email saying something very important had been lost: an essay by one of my students. My first thought was that I had messed up (because come on! I screw up ALL THE TIME). But after turning my office upside down in search of the lost essay I found nothing. This can only mean that I DID send it off with the others and that it's been lost after that (can you hear my sigh of relief?!).
Yesterday I had such a bad headache, must have been a migraine, because of the stress I felt and I didn't eat anything until 3 in the afternoon. Husband's away at the moment, so I had to drop off/pick up the Horde by myself, which is a bit of a hassle when I work 7am – 4pm and their schedule is from 7.30am – 2,30pm… If I had thought about it some (hahaha). I would have changed their schedule, because you can do that if you need to. Today they stay at daycare until 4 and I can get stuff out of the way at work.
Then we have a such exciting event this evening! It's PTA at my twins school, the school they start in August. No more daycare for them, they actually start SCHOOL! My babies, they grow up so fast… *sobs.*
Well today, I'm cool as a cucumber. Nothing bothers me, no one can get me with their teasing, it's something of a sport here at my job (wankers). I only have one thing on my agenda: go to an ATM and get me some cash. One of our naighbours is selling something called "Majblomman" ("May flower" in English), it's to make money for a school trip and one part of that money goes to an organisation that helps kids that have nowhere to go on holiday to go do things. So it's for a good cause, or maybe two counting the school trip.
Anyhow, I need food (I want candy) and I need to get to the nearest ATM (clueless about that, it'll be an adventure!).
Yesterday was brilliant, not the seminar I had to attend in the morning, but after lunch I got to visit my favourite bookstore in the world! The Science Fiction Bookstore can be found in three cities here in Sweden: Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. It's THE place to get your fill of scifi, fantasy, urban, horror or anything not mainstream fix!
Even though I have an extensive list of books and movies I really want to buy I ended up just bying one book, and that one wasn't even on my list. Ursula LeGuin is one of my favourite authors and she has published a book about writing, it's based on a writers workshop she held in 1996 and contains all kinds of exercises for writers. Brilliant doesn't even begin to cover it. I want to think I'll be as good as her after finishing these exercises… please let it be so!
I'm going to start working with this book as soon as possible, but I know it's going to be hard finding the time for it. I have so much to do at work and maybe even more to do when it comes to my uni essay. It's such a bummer that all my writing time gets eaten by all these trivial things like work and studying (if I could I'd say "Sod it!" to everything else, but I hear it's good to eat now and then)…
I spent little over an hour browsing the various items they have in there, I found a pen and paper RPG that I played a lot when I was younger. Would be really cool the get my hands on that and play some with my friends. Too bad most of my RPG friends live far away right now and when we meet it's more about catching up than getting to play. This particular game is called: "Drakar och Demoner" = "Dragons and Demons", and I think it's a Swedish take on Dungeons & Dragons (I might be completely wrong here, so don't get too mad at me).
I also found this great looking game called: "More than Human", which had the scenario that some humans developed superpowers and then have to decide if they want to save humanity or destroy it (classic take on the superhuman vs. human story, but still very cool). It all takes place during the 80's, so you have to think about that when playing: the clothes, the tech, world politics etc.
The fact that it's not taking place in our present time might in fact be more of a challenge than trying to play someone with superpowers and struggling with being good or evil, because we can all relate to that struggle.
I grew up during the 80's and have some memories of how things were, but I was a teen during the 90's and the images from that decade are way clearer than the ones from the 80's (duh!). On the other hand I love many of the artists that were big back then, so looking at their album covers I can easily picture how people (at least the cool people) dressed and wore their hair.
There was one more item that caught my fancy, a model of the Normandy, the ship from Mass Effect! I'd love to go complete nerd and buy it, but it's a wee bit too expensive for me to buy at the moment. I spent some time flipping through the Mass Effect comic books as well, really like the way they've done them. Maybe some day I'll be able to buy all that stuff (a girl can ream, can't she?)…
Anyhow, I'll leave you with a pic of me grinning like an idiot (don't comment on that!), standing by a shelf consisting only of science fiction novels. The feel, smell and sight of all those wonderful books has my heart go all pitter patter just writing about it.
Books are one of the most important reasons for living, you can quote me on that!
I'm at the hairdressers, I can't believe I'm actually sitting here waiting for my turn. My hair's going to look wonderful again (I'm choking up just thinking about it).
I'm Instagraming (is that even a word?) the whole thing, because this needs to be documented… might even grace the blog with images of me hair (and face, you get that with pics of my hair).
But now I'm just going to enjoy the fact that I'm here, soon to be pretty again.

An online diary recording my work as a composer and writer in Houston, Texas and beyond . . .

Notes on scoring for dance
(above photo - members of Racoco Productions peforming Recidivistas; choreography by Rachel Cohen, music by Chris Becker) One piece on the March 31st concert will feature choreography by Rachel Cohen (director of Racoco Productions) with video by Leighton Edmondson. The piece is entitled Thrown. Rachel has described Thrown as "a tactile excavation of the human body and its relation to earth and clay, mining the physical and metaphysical connections between earth and the body through movement, sculpture, and music." One realization of Thrown took place in May 2006 at Harvard University (see below). Rachel is in India this month collaborating with clay artist Patty Rosenblatt and Kathak dancer Navina Jafa. In the meantime, Leighton brought me a couple of quicktime files of footage he shot in a pottery studio with Rachel and dancer Rebecca Ketchum to review. The March version of Thrown will include movement by members of Racoco Productions, live music by my trio, and Leighton's video.
Rachel's work is a crazy blend of contemporary movement, theater, film language and imagery (i.e. movie musicals and film noir), burlesque, clown and mask, etc., ...and music is a big BIG part of the whole package. In my experience, there are indeed choreographers who do not hear the music they are dancing to; they may have their dancers ignore the music altogether, or the music is simply there for "name recognition" with a disconnect being visible between the sound and onstage movement. In Rachel's work, there is a fussiness and attention to detail to the choreography that is often directly connected to sound cues its accompanying music which often in turn reveals musical gestures to me (the composer) that I had not been aware of! I've learned that we don't listen with only our ears. We can listen with our whole body.
I have a lot of sound material for Thrown that I'm sorting through to see what might work for the March performance. I'm thinking some of the music will exist in a prerecorded form with live interjections from Lynn and Flip. But I would like to be able to do some live manipulation in performance of some of the sounds coming from the laptop. Some combination of the two approaches is probably best. If we have video going, I'm thinking that some of the sound cues should be really tight and tied to the rhythm of the edits. The live performance then can follow and interact with the live movement.
The simple fact that Thrown involves clay and mess has caused me to gravitate toward so-called "dirty" or "earthy" sounds for musical/dance score material. Such sounds will include vocals from sessions I did with composer/singer Sofia Koutsovitis - who is always game to improvise over top of ominous abstract tracks - as well as material from jam sessions with me and guitarist Lynn Wright where we worked to blend the sounds coming out of my laptop with his unique textures. Bringing Flip into the spectrum – playing trumpet sometimes through a couple of effects pedals – sort of glues together Sofia's vocals at one end with perhaps the laptop computer at the other. Other sounds that are making it into the aural stew include recordings I've made of rocks, breath and vinyl noise. One incredible loop (or "clip" - see below for an explanation of this term) came from the sound of two small rocks being smacked together pitched down almost two octaves and drenched in reverb…the result being a sound like explosions happening underground. Even the sound of our amps humming and buzzing are – to my ears – a part of the sonic landscape that is Thrown.
Lynn described the music we did back at Harvard as "the Swans playing a Morton Feldman piece" and that's one of the best descriptions of music I've ever heard.
More later…next time I'll explain what I mean by "dirty" sounds...

Academy Collections Serv. / Bad service
This company keeps calling my cell phone asking for someone that no longer owns this number [protected]. I have told them repeatedly to stop calling because no one is here by the name they are asking for. I have instructed them to remove the number from their data base, but the calls continue. I told a man last night he had called the wrong number and he got very rude with me with I told him he had the wrong number. I tried to explain it to him but he continued to be rude, so I hung up on him. Now at 8:20am, 10-9-07 someone called again and my girlfriend answered it telling them they had the wrong number. How many times does it take this company to understand they have the wrong number??

Future Ed Sheerans face threat of nowhere to perform, warns music chief
Campaigners want a change in the law.
The next generation of British musicians risk having nowhere to perform unless the Government acts to save threatened venues, a music industry chief has warned.
More than a third of grassroots venues have closed over the past decade, according to research by UK Music, as Parliament prepares to discuss introducing the Agent of Change principle, which could offer a legal lifeline to live performers.
Chief executive of UK Music and former Labour MP Michael Dugher said the Bill, which has cross-party support including backing from former culture minister Ed Vaizey, was an "SOS to ministers to act and act urgently", in an interview with the Press Association.
The principle would force property developers to consider nearby clubs, bars and gig venues before proceeding with construction, placing the onus on them to find solutions to potential noise issues for their future tenants.
For example, they could be forced to fund extra soundproofing for the venue to avoid the risk of new residents complaining.
Mr Dugher said Britain's status as a hub of musical talent was threatened by the closures of grassroots venues across the country.
He said: "If you don't have really healthy grassroots music venues where on earth are the next generation of global superstars going to get their chance to learn their craft, hone their trade, build an audience?
"It's tomorrow's Adeles, tomorrow's Ed Sheerans, tomorrow's stars… All of the biggest names in music, all started somewhere. They were all given a stage somewhere and we're in danger of taking that stage away from them.
"The huge global success we enjoy at the moment is being put in jeopardy unless we do something about protecting music venues… Agent of Change is an SOS to ministers to act and act urgently."
Referencing the threats of rising business rates and other licensing laws, Mr Dugher described the Agent of Change principle as a "significant piece in the jigsaw" to saving live music.
"The industry is speaking with one voice here… This is people who have seen it, been it, and done it saying this is the critical factor in our success that has brought enormous enjoyment and enormous wealth to the country, and so that's something really worth fighting for," he said.
The Agent of Change is currently included in planning guidance but can be ignored as it is not compulsory in England, Scotland or Wales.
At the end of last year, London Mayor Sadiq Khan added the principle to his draft London Plan while the Welsh government has pledged to introduce it in future planning policy.
Labour MP John Spellar will table the Agent of Change Bill on Wednesday and is expected to receive support from his frontbench colleagues as well as a number of Lib Dem, SNP and Tory MPs.

Blue Skies Over Tango
On a canal in Paris, rehersal for the 'Grand Bal Tango.'
Sunday Reggae at La Villette
Paris:- Sunday, 30. July 2000:- The cloud cover is nearly non-stop. Holes appear in it for brief moments - so briefly that if I take a photo, I won't be able to use it because it won't be showing Paris like it is.
With the overcast, the light is flat; shadows, if there are any, are mushy. It's just dull without any foggy mystery; photos have no snap. Midsummer gloom.
This hasn't stopped me from going out. Weather forecasts can be wrong; there may be a surprise clear-up for an afternoon. The 'afternoon' may be so short that it's better to be out just in case. This didn't work last Wednesday. It did work a bit on late Friday. Today has a fairly good prediction.
A young guy named Alexandre got tango fever three years ago by accident in a café in the 20th. This led him to visit Argentina and take a lot of tango lessons.
When the 'Mission Paris 2000' organization came along, he and four other dancers submitted a modest project in the youth section, and got a grant of 17,000 francs. About 80 such grants were made in all.
His group's proposal was simple, 'A free, open-air tango ball, on a wooden dance floor, with an orchestra.'
The budget he got was enough to put down 100 square metres of dance floor and set up a modest sound system. Since there are setups like this in Paris - although inside - Alexandre took a risk and doubled the dance floor's size, and got a trio for an orchestra.
'Tango lessons from 17:00 - the ball with an orchestra starts at 19:00 and continues until midnight.' Outside and free. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The real risk is the weather.
Whatever I was expecting, it did not look like the floor plan of a demolished warehouse, set in the top end of the Bassin de la Villette, where the Rue de Crimée crosses the Canal de l'Ourcq.
The modest drinks tent and the 200 square metre dance floor are a small island taking up only a fraction of the lumpy wasteland that has a destruction fence around it.
At tango lesson time, couples are stopping and starting as the music stops and starts. It does not look like much to watch, but the dancers are very concentrated on doing their steps - which seem to be complicated.Just behind the tango, on the Quai de la Seine, more traditional Sunday sport is in progress.
There are chairs for a small audience, which seems to be paying attention, and there are plain white tables; I guess for the eventual cocktails. Except for the dance floor, the ground is about the same as that of an ex-destruction site with bits of concrete rubble, some sand and some weeds.
Out of all the people going back and forth over the canal bridge, a small number are coming through the fence to take part or watch. They look like they are wondering where the glitter-ball is.
Right! Out in the open air under a sky that is mostly blue, it is only from nothing the glitter-ball can hang. The budget simply didn't include it.
There are two bridges over the canal at the Rue de Crimée - one is an elevator-bridge which rises to let boats pass under it and the other is an iron-framed arched affair for pedestrians.
From the top of the latter, the 'Grand Bal Tango' looks like a country dance on the pampas, on top of a concrete warehouse foundation, placed in a canal, in Paris.
This is a long way from looking like 'Paris 2000.' It doesn't even look like the Paris in the brochures or the slick books. It is the do-it-yourself village of Paris, doing its own thing.
Alexandre deserves a thumbs-up for simply imagining the 'Grand Bal Tango,' and the 'Mission Paris 2000' needs some recognition for taking such a wild idea seriously - I guess as seriously as tango is itself.
Beside the east side of the Canal de l'Ourcq there is a wide, cobbled path and beside it there is a two-way bicycle lane. There are a steady steam of cyclists going both ways, mixing it up with roller folks doing the same thing. This is the way to La Villette and I wander up it, with a lot more room than the greater numbers in the bike lane.La Villette's 'Kiosque à Musique' this afternoon.
Before I get to the overhead rail bridge I hear some bass but I don't know where it's coming from. The further I go, the louder it gets. On the north side of the rail bridge, La Villette looks like the tip an island, where the Canal Saint-Denis comes into the Canal de l'Ourcq.
There are willow trees on the tip, and a lot of people under them. Along the Canal de l'Ourcq side there are yellow parasols, and behind them is a huge crowd lying on the grass and standing in front of a red-beamed stage - which is the source of the loud bass, and other reggae sounds.
To cross the canal, there is a complicated bridge, complete with lots of stairs and elevators at each end. A lot of people are using all of it.
The red-beam structure is the 'Kiosque à Musique' and it has 'bals' every Sunday, until 27. August; also free. The first bright weather in a long time has brought out a big crowd of all ages. They almost fill up the space between the canals and the stage. There are a few spaces on the grass still free.
The music is, I think, African reggae, and it is good as well as loud. The people doing it are 'pros' who don't waste time between numbers to tune up. One, two, ka-boom! Chunga-chunga. Vocals in French; mixed, reggae.
In the program for La Villette this is laconically noted as 'Bal-concert Africain.' Next Sunday La Banda Municipale de Santiago and Ciocarlia do their thing from 17:30 to 21:00.
On Saturdays as well as Sundays in August, in the same place starting at 16:30, there are brass bands. Coming up next weekend, the American Horn Quartet.In this weather, the kiosco des refrescos faces the 'Kiosque à Musique.'
The way the weather has been, today may be the only perfect day for it, so I've really scored well on this chance visit. I don't want leave this mellow scene.
A canal barge, trailing diesel smoke, chugs out of the Canal Saint-Denis and swings left around the tip of the concert ground - with its whole family of a crew as an audience, getting a brief blast of Sunday landlubber music from Africa.

Constant lag spikes make it unplayable
Dear GGG, I would like to bring it to your attention your otherwise awesome game is currently completely and utterly unplayable. Tech support doesn't seem to be able to deal with it, I've sent a mail with all the required information, which clearly shows the problem is on your servers side, and for more than a week I can't get an answer. In a meanwhile this is how I play for past month or so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5_Y_WyOp2o&feature=youtu.be
This is a joke, this is not a game, this is a circus with tech support for clowns.

How does that show it is on GGG side of the house? Looks like a lag spike from your ISP or an old Wifi router. Did you do a traceroute back to the server and see some high ping nodes?
I can assure you thats on your part. Get a fucking better internet connection holy shit its 2018. I on the other hand do not play like that, if the game spiked like that for me id fucking kill myself roflmao.
Look on my works ye mighty, and despair.

His connection has nothing to do with it. The engine is terrible and the servers aren't amazing. I have the same issues, along with random (but frequent) FPS drops (90+ to 1, constantly) which along with the latency make the game literally unplayable.
It's not my PC. It's a gaming spec'd laptop and it plays everything else fine... This is the only game where I've had issues.
Also, there's a weird bug where the game always starts up in Windowed mode, no matter how many times you set it to full screen... It will also, sometimes, randomly revert the engine setting from DX11 to DX9 Ex (whatever it's called).
I get all of these issues standing in an empty map with just my character, and no other NPCs or players, on the screen.
I can, however, assure you that your punctuation keys are broken.
The game is good, but the code is shoddy and the servers aren't all that.
This is the suggestion that I get from people on Twitch, but it brings rubber banding with it. It doesn't fix my graphical issues, though.
no need to crap on this guy fellas, he supplied a report showing it isnt his ISP
I havent dealt with tech support personally but if they are anything like the customer service dept of GGG expect to wait multiple days to get a reply
I got a fever and the only prescription, is more cowbell!

So I'll have a choice between having to stutter step until I get seizure, or rubber band back and forth along with mobs, trying to shoot thin air and get teleported into traps in lab and die.
Seriously GGG, get your shit together and fix this.

For 1000-th times lagged today for more than a second and died to corrupted blood with no chance to save myself. In a game where you can get 1 shot or die under 1 second if you don't react such lags are total bullshit. GGG FIX THIS CRAP ALREADY THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!

Creative Colouring
The skill of colouring
Colouring is a skill developed in a child's early years. This skill can be applied in many ways. The skill of colouring can lead to conceptual development of various areas of the curriculum as well as many hours of enjoyment. When using the designs in the Creative Colouring blackline master, children should be encouraged to follow these steps.
- look carefully at the design
- identify repeated patterns and shapes
- select the colours to be used (keep these to as few as possible)
- colour one block of a pattern to check the choice of colours
- use all of one colour before changing colours
- be sure to stay within the lines

Rep. John Dingell's Legacy
by Bob Royer, Special to The Times
U.S. Rep. John Dingell, recently removed as chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, has touched the lives of people all over this country because of the unique reach of the committee he has served since 1955. He has a hand in everything from the communication technology you use to the air you breathe.
But for us, 1,500 miles from his congressional district along Lake Erie south of Detroit, Dingell's love of one of our fish, the steelhead trout, and his firm grip on energy policy nearly 30 years ago profoundly affected the way we conduct the electricity business in our region.
The steelhead is a highly successful Midwest transplant of a Northwest icon. A powerful fighter, it is a rainbow trout that goes to sea and grows bigger and stronger than its stay-at-home cousin. Starting 120 years ago, fishermen from the Midwest started planting offspring of the fish they caught on our great Steelhead rivers -- the McCloud, the Stillaguamish, the Klamath. Over time, the fish made the same journey they did here only in the Great Lakes and made it possible for citizens there to stand in 35-degree water that is moving way too fast for comfort and cast for steelhead in a stiff, hypothermic motion, just like we do out here.
An outdoorsman, and back then a highly mobile one, Dingell loved doing just that and was hardy enough to outlast any companion and connect with plenty of fish.
His love of the outdoors and his experience with the salmon in Lake Erie made Dingell highly influential and knowledgeable in the development of the Pacific Northwest Power Planning and Conservation Act. This law redistributed the output of federal power generation in the Northwest, put conservation on the table as the first choice for new power and laid the Bonneville Power Administration's checkbook next to it. The bill also had the effect of saving the region's aluminum industry for a decade and significantly increased the influence of the states on federal electricity policy through the four-state Regional Power Council.
But most fascinating to me was an Energy and Commerce Committee markup of the legislation several weeks before its final passage at the end of 1980. Dingell distributed a piece of paper that amended the language of the Fish and Wildlife section of the bill, adding the word "enhance" so that the language read:
"The Council shall promptly develop and adopt, pursuant to this subsection, a program to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife, including related spawning grounds and habitat, on the Columbia River and its tributaries. Because of the unique history, problems, and opportunities presented by the development and operation of hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries, the program, to the greatest extent possible, shall be designed to deal with that river and its tributaries as a system."
The effect of the language was to put the fish on a more level playing field with the production of electricity and the provision of irrigation. The old law -- "protect and mitigate", essentially meant "stuff happens." The new law made the fish an everyday player in river decisions. Originally, the idea of enhancement seemed an easy mark -- more hatchery fish. But, over time, enhancement began to mean more wild fish because of the need to keep greater genetic diversity in the event of disease or other changed conditions. That has dictated a move from a central incubation scheme to a much more significant focus on habitat preservation through acquisition or regulation.
The language also was the genesis of a whole new industry within the region -- scientists, technicians and planners -- who depend on the fish enhancement business and high water flows of BPA money. Through 2005, BPA had spent some $8 billion dollars in foregone electricity revenues and cash and will spend about a half billion in its most recent plan covering 2009 and 2010.
Assessing the success of Dingell's enhancement language is equal parts science, politics, theology and anthropology. The region has not delivered a coherent message to the regional ratepayers who are funding Dingell's idea. One day we read of a wall of salmon moving up the Columbia, the next we read about a listing under the Endangered Species Act. We are frequently in court over the legality of counting hatchery salmon. So many decisions are made in a federal court in Oregon that it's hard to know the real outcome for the fish. The complexity of the many salmon races entering and leaving the river systems and the many factors along their 4,000-mile journey create many fingers pointed at an infinity of evils.
To the question "are the fish any better off?" an old veteran of the salmon wars tells me: "You know, it's possible."
We should tell this story better. Dingell is removed as chairman, and the new guy, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, is not a fisherman.

Find a teacher who is built like you are, or at least has similar flexibility. A teacher with similar flexibility is more likely to swing in a way that is compatible with your physical characteristics. Your height, weight, looseness-tightness, etc.is all important.
For example, I am tall, slender and loose-jointed (6 feet, 170 pounds). Learning from somebody who is short, chunky, and tight-muscled won't do me as much good as learning from somebody built like me who has similar flexibility.
Flexibility is most important factor. Other factors can be adjusted for more easily by you and your teacher. Ask his (or her) experience teaching people similar to you.
Obviously, teaching skill and golf swing knowledge is more important than anything, but keep these other factors in mind.
Try and avoid a teacher who wants to turn every golfer into a copy of his own swing.
The best teacher for you also communicates in a way that you understand. Plain language is better than jargon.

In a dream I knocked over a full glass or bottle of beer. Not a drop came out.
The above is from a note in May 2014.
How do we dream something physically impossible but in the dream believe its reality.
For years I haven't had any flying dreams or dreams of levitating over a floor and skating forward. Could this mean I've settled down and no longer think I can do everything?
Sometime in the last two months I've had a recurrence of dreaming of a glowing fire in something that should not be burning. In the dream nothing is consumed.
I heard on a recent "To the Best of Our Knowledge" that thoughts can be captured from one animal and replayed in the brain of another animal, inducing false memory. Will sometime we be able to capture our dreams and replay them when we are conscience.
What are the legal implications of this? Could the authorities read our minds? Could the authorities put a false memory in our heads and get us to confess to something we never did?

Transfer to Basel via Beaune
Up early today as we have to have our bags at the door for loading at 8am. Had a quick brekky and on the bus 8.30am heading for Beaune. arrived approx 9.15am and we had until 11.30 to look around. The guide on the bus took us through this towns Hotel Dieu (yes they all have one). Again the architecture in this building is so well preserved considering it goes back to 1443. Another building on the site was built in the 18th century. They were built on a large scale to reflect the fact that the benefactors were very wealthy. This particular one has an amazing mosaic roof made up of glazed coloured tiles. We then strolled through the fabulous local Saturday market place. Wow what a market it is. There were several large tables of food types, salamis, olives, cheeses , tapenades, sausages, rotisserie chickens as well as fresh produce and stalls selling other crafts. Back to the bus at 11.45am and on to Dijon where others from our cruise left us and were taking the train to Paris. Everyone said their goodbyes and then we had to get on another bus (only 6 of us on a 60 seater bus) bound for Basel (Switerland). This is where we will join our next cruise ship The Tranquility II. In Basel we joined the new vessel to find it was a full house - 120 pax. The staff don't see, to be as colourful as those on Poetry II , the meals not quite up to the standard set on the Poetry (early days though) and the noise level at dinner was something we weren't used to. There is a much greater mix on this leg with quite a few children and heaps of Americans, including an extended family of three generations numbering about 20! However we discovered four other Kiwis on the first night.

There are only so many ways to say the same thing, but I'll at least update the chart to show that bonds remain inside the same boundaries we've been watching. 2.36% (or 2.35%, depending on which way you want to round) has been the lower boundary for the week and 2.40% has been the ceiling--not to mention a well-traveled pivot point. The 2.35+ level also coincides with the middle Bollinger Band (middle yellow line in today's chart).
A healthy break below would suggest additional positive momentum, and the chance for the longer-term technicals to resume their previously positive trend. Recently low volume suggests markets are waiting for a breakout, both in terms of motivation, and because it could act as a technical cue for additional momentum.
Motivation could come in the form of Trump's nomination of Jerome Powell for Fed Chair today, although it seems that markets have largely priced-in that eventuality. Less clear is whether Trump will also try to put John Taylor on the Fed Board. That would be bearish for bonds, most likely.
Another potential flashpoint is the anticipated release of the tax plan from Congress. It was originally supposed to come out yesterday, but was punted to today with a promise that it would not be punted again. Recent comments suggest it might not align too well with the President's tax principles. That could lead markets to doubt the efficacy of whatever legislation is ultimately able to be passed, which would generally be good for bond markets.
Beyond all this, there's still NFP tomorrow. While it's not the market mover it used to be, it shouldn't be discounted--especially after last month's relatively stellar performance in the face of what was supposed to be hurricane-inspired weakness.

TIP OF THE DAY: Kumquats
Kumquats are the size of large olives. Photo courtesy White Flower Farm.
How can it be that we've never published a piece about the kumquat? Today's tip remedies that oversight.
Native to China and now grown throughout Southeast Asia (plus the U.S. and elsewhere), the kumquat is a tiny citrus fruit that is entirely edible, skin and all. The orange flesh is juicy, acidic and tart (some varieties have are more tart than others). The skin is fragrant and sweet.
Kumquats grow on small trees or bushes. They looking like wee, oval oranges, the size and shape of a large olive.
The word "kumquat" comes from the Cantonese kin kü, meaning golden orange. The earliest historical reference appears in China in the 12th century.
The tiny fruits were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, a collector for the London Horticultural Society. Not long after, they arrived in North America, and found a happy growing ground in Florida.
People who have never tried kumquats may look at them in the produce aisle, wondering what to do with them. As a citrus fruit, they work wherever other citrus fruits are employed. You don't peel them or juice them, but serve them halved, sliced or whole. Some opportunities:
Here are dozens of kumquat recipes from Kumquat Growers of Florida—from kumquat ice cream to kumquat tea to kumquat cranberry relish.
Look for firm, blemish-free fruit with a fresh scent. Avoid kumquats with green skins—they aren't ripe and won't ripen off the vine.
You can refrigerate kumquats whole for up to one month, in a plastic storage bag. Freezing is not recommended.
Use kumquats in cocktails or as a garnish. Photo courtesy Limonce Limoncello.

What Electricians Do – The Role of an Electrician.
Electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician. Electricians specialise in electrical wiring of buildings, machines and equipment both for new projects or for existing infrastructure. Regulations govern electrical work due to the many hazards of working with electricity.
It is vital you check the license and qualifications of an electrician. You should also check they hold insurance including general liability, public indemnity and worker's compensation.
Electrical Services Electricians Offer
Electricians provide a valuable service and as we take advantage of more technology, the demand for electricians is increasing. This list is just some of the most popular services electricians are searched and called out for.
Electrical Wiring & Repairs
Older homes or other buildings may need re-wiring or repair due to their age or damage. You may need additional power points installed to handle the increasing number of appliances we use at once, or old ones replaced which only licensed electricians are permitted to work on by law.
Safety Switches
Safety switches protect electrical products from power surges caused by faulty appliances or damaged wiring. Electricians can install safety switches on the main board to protect all of your power points.
Electricians can install, repair and replace a wide variety of lights in homes and other buildings. The types of lighting options has increased over the years to include halogen, down lights, neon, LED, track, and fluorescent. Most of these also offer low voltage alternatives to mains power.
New Home Wiring
Electricians can wire and install all electrical infrastructure to a new home. Experienced new home electricians can plan the layout and design of electrical elements in a home so that, for example, lights and power points are correctly located and the type of lighting chosen is suitable to your home or requirements.
Before starting any renovations you should consult with an electrician. You will need to engage an electrician to remove old wiring, power points and lighting to install new ones. As with new homes, electricians can help you plan a layout and design to suit your living requirements.
Testing and Tagging
Electrical equipment can be tested for faults, insulation deficiencies and earth leakages. Following testing an electrician will tag the equipment so it can be easily identified as in good working order or faulty.
Back-Up Power
Generators and 'Uninterruptable Power Supply' systems can provide a back-up electricity supply. UPS is typically used for equipment such as computers to avoid data loss. Electricians can advise on suitable equipment and carry out installations.
Specialist Tasks
Some electricians can perform a variety of other services and have additional training, often to support other trades including installing data cabling, fibre optic cables, connecting home automation systems, home entertainment systems, alarm systems, water heaters, air conditioners and solar power systems.
As you can see, electricians get involved in a wide variety of electrical work, and it is normal that electricians; even though they are licensed and have broad experience, choose to specialise their business towards just some of the services outlined above. When searching electricians, it is worth noting the services each provide, before contacting any for electrical wiring quotes.

Vote for a sketch of a wallpaper I'm redrawing. The one with the gang climbing up the giant statue!
And the page is finally up! I hope the look in the first panel portrays the "WTFJUSTHAPPENED" look well enough, because I didn't want to add a text box saying just that. I also hope panel 2 portrays the "ACK! oh..ok?!" enough, because I didn't want to add it there either. Jeez, Ehranah, you're not acting like any other Ayenroki we've met! What's wrong with you?
I really like how Talon came out here. Actually, I should rephrase that. I don't LIKE how he's bleeding out of every orifice, but artistically it works with my style. I need to find more excuses to draw blood, because it is very fun. Should be darker though. Less...colorful!
Before I forget, APRIL 26 is The War of Winds' FIFTH anniversary! I'd really love any presents anyone has to make for me! Speaking of presents, I received a fan art from Varethane that I will be displaying here on Thursday, so check back!
Umm, that's all from me! Again, sorry about the late page. I totally ditched comic-making time yesterday to hang with my big bro, who is leaving for Army basic training today, and I won't see him for 10 weeks. Undeniably, he is cooler and more important than my comic (but don't tell him 'cause it'll go straight to his head.)
Anywho, it's 10 weeks at basic, and then he's off to officer candidate school for however many months. We're proud of him! He finally said "BLEEP it" to his cubicle job, his micromanaging boss, and his horrible pay to do something that very well could be the perfect thing for him. Go bro! You can see a picture of him I drew for his previous birthday over at my DA.

Match Report
Sunday 28th December 2014
By Patrice Mongelard
Farnborough find themselves a very long way from Orpington
This was a most disappointing end to the year, not only the result, but more so the manner of it. We deserved to taste defeat for the first time since 19 October, and to complete the circle of gloom our season started with a 2-1 defeat against today's opponents on 31 August. So in a sense we have not progressed at all. In the brutal light of a cold, sunny day it felt to me that we played without cohesion or solidarity, energy or intelligence, composure or purpose, appetite or pride - and got what we deserved. My teammates might disagree, and point at one or two bright moments and missed opportunities. They'll have to write another match report if they are to convince me that I am being harsh. This said, Orpington had the one outstanding player of the game who tipped the scales in their favour, but their collective play was superior to ours. So there are plenty of New Year resolutions for the Farnborough Senior Vets to work on. The only prediction I will make is that things could get better, or they could get worse.
As a result of shrewd planning by co-manager Roger French and lack of confidence in our own top pitch we brought fifteen players to the Beckenham Cricket Club this week – one fewer than last week. Orpington had a similar number I thought – including one individual we had not encountered before, and whom we will certainly not forget. As Paul Scotter put it to me afterwards in the bar – that player had been brought in to do a job, a bit like a specialist contractor, and footballers will understand what I mean when I say that player was at least one league above us. Roger French sported one of his Christmas presents – a football T-shirt with a quote from French existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre pointing out that in football everything is complicated by the presence of opponents. Our life was certainly complicated by one individual today, and you do not need to be a philosopher to work that out. We lined up like this:
Starting XI:
Gary Fentiman;
Patrice Mongelard, Ian Lyons, Ian Coles, Nick Waller;
Simon Thomas, Obi Ugwumba, Colin Mant, Waine Hetherington;
Andy Faulks, George Kleanthous;
Substitutes: Roger French, Paul Scotter, Ian Shoebridge, and Steve Blanchard.
Supporter: Louie Dwight (mum Amanda and baby sister Daisy also appeared during the game, I think).
We did not start well when referee Mick Gearing first blew on his whistle. Correction, I did not start well. After only one minute I contrived to make a terrible hash of a clearance, ignoring the call to leave the ball for Gary Fentiman, only to tee up an Orpington forward who just had to roll the ball into the empty net with Gary stranded thanks to me. If my team mates had shouted taxi for Mongelard, I would have gladly got into it and gone straight to the retirement home. I played a minor part in our equaliser five minutes later when I put Andy Faulks through on the right and he squared the ball across the box for a smart finish by Waine Hetherington. I also cleared the ball off our line from an Orpington corner but these contributions could not make up for what I felt I had done to my team.
As the first half unfolded we came to appreciate the football being played by our opponents- in particular their two front men – both were tricky, skilful and well-supported by their midfielders. Gary Fentiman was called upon more than once to keep us in the game – including an acrobatic save to claw the ball out of the top corner to his left, which brought him into contact with the post. Midway through the half Orpington regained the lead from a corner that we failed to defend. Gary Fentiman felt that he had been fouled in the process but when you are the size that he is most referees will need some convincing, let alone tantric ones. We were not totally out the game but could not find the final ball – George Kleanthous will no doubt wish he had made a better connection with a cut back from Andy Faulks that could have brought us level.
On the half hour Patrice Mongelard, Simon Thomas, Waine Hetherington and Ian Lyons departed the scene making way for Ian Shoebridge, Roger French, Paul Scotter and Steve Blanchard. We experienced the usual difficulties adjusting and could have conceded more in that period of uncertainty but Gary was excellent when called upon and Obi Ugwumba and Colin Mant made notable blocks on the edge of our box. In the midst of this we had two gilt-edged chances to score – first Andy Faulks had a close range shot well-saved by the Orpington keeper diving low to his left, and then Andy rolled the ball just wide of the post in a one-to-one.
At half time we made an unplanned change when Ian Shoebridge came off, suffering from a cold that he had been unable to shake off and Simon Thomas resumed his wing play sooner than anticipated. We were to draw level ten minutes into the half when Andy Faulks contrived a shot from a central position, twelve yards out that appeared to move through the air, disturbing the balance of the Orpington keeper. Louie Dwight was particularly pleased as he had advised Andy to shoot.
We were back in the game and were looking to build on this by bringing Ian Lyons, Waine Hetherington and Patrice Mongelard back for the last half hour – for Colin Mant, Obi Ugwumba and Nick Waller. Instead things went downhill. We were undone by two quick Orpington goals – one simply brilliant and the other avoidable. Their third goal was a worldie as the best player on the field, five foot nothing, two quick feet, low centre of gravity, great balance and appetite, received the ball with his back to goal, turned his marker and rifled an unstoppable shot past Gary. Soon after poor defending allowed an Orpington shot to get through which Gary spilled and Orpington were left with a simple tap in to get a two-goal cushion.
By that point the game was quite open and both teams were creating chances. Waine Hetherington grabbed his second, another classy finish, converting an Andy Faulks assist. Any hopes we might have entertained then were dashed by the Orpington pocket dynamo up front as the wee man repeated the trick with an equally good finish after giving his marker the slip. He was to miss a sitter shortly later but his work was done at 5-3.
We were not quite done though, almost, as George Kleanthous earned a penalty which Mick Gearing gave, without protest from Orpington. (Mick was sharp today even spotting a Roger French foul throw). Andy Faulks ignored whispers of a Waine Hetherington hat-trick and took the penalty but not without some disturbance of his mind which meant his kick was saved. Roger "Statto" French has recently introduced a "fantasy football" scoring system for our goals, assists, clean sheets etc, which appears to have affected Andy Faulks more than closely than any of us. I am not sure if Roger's system deducts points for missed spot kicks.
The buffet was just the same as last week – and the barmaid the same too (though without her Christmas jumper on which I complimented her (she has promised to model a new jumper for next Christmas) - but I did not feel the same way towards it. However, the presence of the Farnborough Buffet Man of the Year, Nick Waller, and of football philosopher Roger French, ensured that in the bar at least we put on a good performance. Not everyone was there. Simon Thomas had left early, depriving several of his team mates of the opportunity to explain to him that having our tallest player taking free kicks outside the Orpington box was a luxury that the team could not afford. You do not need to be a philosopher to work that out.
Colin Mant, sensing my downbeat mood, kindly offered to be the muse for my match report. I am not sure the next bit will be quite what he had in mind. We were reminded earlier in the week of the 2005-06 season. These were terrible times indeed for the Farnborough Vets. That season our figures read P26, W0, D4, L22, GF 35 and GA 101; Colin Mant and Roger French scored a third of our goals between them with Colin claiming the mantle of FOBG Vets Top Goal Scorer. How times change. To provide a bit of perspective our figures this season stand at P16, W6, D4, L6, GF37 and GA38 – and I suppose that going into our first game of the New Year we will be able to claim to be unbeaten in 2015. If we play like today that record won't last beyond Twelfth Night.
Man of the match – Gary Fentiman – the reasoning I suspect being that without him we would have shipped far more than five goals. I would have preferred a clean sheet and I think Jean Paul Sartre would agree.
Man of the match: Gary Fentiman

Please see page 120 of your student planner for details:
Students who do not finish core subjects (& select other subjects) second semester (or if carried over course wasn't available second semester) may be eligible to finish one or more courses in the SCFP which generally runs the first two weeks of July, for 6 hours per day. Students must attend daily for the duration of the program. Students must work on one carryover at a time or headstart a course, submitting up to one unit maximum per day. A carryover must be authorized first by the current semester teacher, and then the carryover form must be completed and signed and brought to the guidance counsellor along with the SCFP registration form. Course availability (subject to enrollment) and registration forms are available starting in early June in the guidance office.
Carryover/Summer Carry Forward Program (SCFP) Guide:
* Obtain carryover form & book appointment to see guidance counsellor
* Bring SIGNED (by teacher(s) & parent) form to guidance appt.
* If planning to COMPLETE or PROGRESS in a course in our SCFP, bring a SIGNED (by parent) SCFP form to guidance appt. WITH your carryover form (if second semester)
* Up to 9 units MAXIMUM (with the exception of Civics or Careers at 10 units) may be submitted in SCFP (one unit/day max) and only one course may be in progress at one time – so, if you have more than one carryover, you can do them one after another as long as you are not submitting more than 9 units as a combined total
* If fewer than 9 units need to be completed in a course, you must headstart a new course – attendance is mandatory for all 9 days of SCFP
* Students who started a course late (headstarted) still need to submit a carryover form
* If you do not have a guidance appointment booked by the last day of work submission, then you must see your counsellor during "carryover week" (see dates in planner) for ALL guidance issues, including carryover and summer school registration – students will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis
If you have any questions after reading this protocol, your counsellor or advisor can help clarify.

text: May 6, 2004 — When Scottsdale, Arizona's airport came under fire recently from anti-noise activists, AOPA President Phil Boyer came to its defense. He wrote an op-ed piece for the local newspapers, reminding residents of all Scottsdale Airport (SDL) does for the community. "The airpark generates $2.5 billion to $3 billion in annual economic activity," he wrote. And he noted that an updated noise study at the airport found that although operations have increased since the original study five years ago, the number of people impacted has decreased. "A mile of highway will get you one mile, but a mile of runway will get you anywhere in the world — an important consideration in today's global economy," Boyer noted. "It would be a shame for a progressive community like Scottsdale to lose its competitive edge."

|Hmm, the Blue Spruce I know is a coniferous evergreen (blue) tree that grows to 20ft. or so. But here's a link to a succulent Stonecrop and the variety is 'Blue Spruce' so you may be right! Is this it? Once you click the link, scroll down to where there are more pictures.

"Sunday, Sunday here again..."
Just relaxing on a sunny Sunday morning and listening to a bunch of Blur songs. The band only has had one hit stateside, "Song 2," but for those interested in a sort of modern take on Kinks style British rock (mixed with a hint of Stone Roses), Blur is for you.
My favorite record of theirs is "Modern Life Is Rubbish." This record was a bit of a struggle to make. XTC's producer Andy Partridge was originally slated to produce the album, but they didn't hit it off, so Stephen Street (producer of The Smiths, and Blur's first record, Leisure) was brought in. However, Food Records rejected their first submission of the record. The label was pushing for a hit, which sent them back to the studio for two more songs even after the record was finished. These songs, fortunately, were well worth it for the band, as "For Tomorrow" was a hit in the U.K., and "Chemical World" was a minor underground hit in the U.S. (and is one of my favorite Blur songs). Even after all of this, their American label, SBK, asked them to rerecord the album with Butch Vig. The band flatly refused, and the album was released in May in the U.K., with an autumn release in the U.S. It charted at #15 in the UK, and is seen as the forefather of the Britpop emergence in the mid-'90's (including Blur's own Parklife album).
Blur are on a hiatus of sorts these days, with Graham Coxon doing solo albums and Damon Albarn singing with Gorillaz. It's rumored that an album could come together in '06, but I'm not holding my breath. Their last record, Think Tank, was released in 2003.
Blur: (L to R) Alex, Graham, Damon, Dave

Human Genome Sciences Inc. and SmithKline Beecham PLC said yesterday that their combined efforts to use genetic coding to develop new drugs had generated so many opportunities that they have invited three more companies to share the work.
In addition to renegotiating their own 1993 agreement, Human Genome, the Rockville-based biotechnology company, and SmithKline of London said they will receive at least $140 million for opening their alliance to other pharmaceutical companies eager for access to their human gene research.
New Jersey-based Schering-Plough Corp. said it will pay Human Genome and SmithKline $55 million over five years for access to the companies' combined gene database, and France's third largest pharmaceutical group, Synthelabo, said it will pay $35 million for that access over the same period. The money will be split equally between Human Genome and SmithKline.
