I had scored some amazing tickets to go see the Bolder Fresher tour with Bill O'rielly and Dennis Miller. We sat 4th row center and had V.I.P. passes that allowed us to attend a meet and greet with Miller and O'rielly after the show.
This was really awesome. I am a HUGE fan of Bill O'rielly as he is one of america's last true journalists.
Dennis Miller started off the show with Bill introducing him as the "fresher" part of the show. He is hilarious and one of the things I really liked about him was how current his jokes were. Most of his bit was things that happened in the last couple weeks. It wasn't some schtick that he just does everywhere. I like that. I know some comics and know how hard it is to write new material so I really respect that.
Bill O'rielly came out and.. man that guy is such a amazing speaker. I have seen him in debates before but he had no teleprompter, no notes, and was on point. He told some very interesting stories about what went on behind the Romney Campaign and why he lost.
After Bill went off the stage him and Dennis came out and took questions from the audience.
They gave some great answers and went off on tangents and told stories that were all disclaimers of "this is something we would never say on television" kind of things. All hilarious.
After the event we went back stage to hang out with Bill and Dennis. It was a decent size group of about 50 people or so.
Each person could go up and talk to them, get a picture, and a signed copy of Dennis Miller's DVD and Bill O'rielly's newest book, "Killing Kennedy.
I am all about life experiences and this was one I will never forget. I feel very fortunate to share this experience with my wife who normally, because of her hectic schedule, never gets to travel with me.

WT24 Desk
Chelsea can still finish in the Premier League's top four, says interim manager Guus Hiddink after Sunday's 3-0 win at Crystal Palace,BBC reports.
The Blues have not lost in four matches but are 13 points behind Tottenham, who occupy the fourth Champions League spot, with 18 league games left. "It's difficult because this league has become so strong; everyone can win from everyone," said Hiddink, 69.
"It's very difficult to get there. It's possible but there's a long way to go." The defending champion's four-match unbeaten run is their longest of the season and moved them up to 14th, six points clear of relegation.
Hiddink, who succeeded the sacked Jose Mourinho in December, conceded Chelsea "desperately needed" the victory, which came courtesy of goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa. "We have to get back to thinking why we were champions," added the former Netherlands, Turkey and Russia coach.
Costa's goal – his third in two games – sealed an impressive individual display after managing just one in 12 previous matches. Hiddink said he is trying to give the striker some focus on the pitch so he does not "waste" energy "where he should not be".
Chelsea's improvement in form since Mourinho was sacked has led to some criticism as to why the Blues could not produce such performances under their former manager.
Captain John Terry admits the players "let everybody down" following the club's worst start to a season since 1978. "It's unfortunate what's happened," said Terry, 35. "We are where we are, and slowly climbing the Premier League table."
But Terry feels Hiddink, who also took interim charge of the club in 2009, has "picked things up" since taking charge. "That was the Chelsea of last year," he said after Sunday's display. "Overall, as well as the goals, it was different class."

Role of the Business Advisory Council in Success of Regulatory Guillotine Programme2012.11.22
International expert on regulatory reform Vedran Antoljak (Sense Consulting) had a meeting with representatives of the Business Advisory Council at the National Centre for Legislative Regulation. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the programme of Regulatory Guillotine around the world and Armenia as a crucial tool in economic development. The expert also emphasized the importance of business environment in implementation of the Regulatory Guillotine.
Currently Vedran Antoljak is international expert on Regulatory Guillotine in Armenia. Mr. Antoljak was the head of a similar programme in Croatia, called HITROREZ. He talked about Croatian reforms and about his experience as an expert in similar regulatory programmes in fifteen other countries.
"Business Advisory Council in Croatia contributed significantly to the work and achievements of the HITROREZ with their research and recommendations done for all those areas subject to regulatory reform", - said the expert.
Remarkably, in 2010 the United Nations recognised Croatian HITROREZ as world's most successful regulatory reform programme.

So, I saw no other option than to buckle down and learn LSE for myself: not just a token effort to get across some broad principles, but actually learn it. I wanted to be able to teach Isaac better and to be able to interpret for him during Church meetings. I've dedicated my daily hour of language study time during the day to learn LSE, and I also take time during meals and right before and after sleeping to studying it. I checked out a LSE grammar book from the local library (where we do weekly emails) and I've been going through it. I'm enjoying learning, but after our lesson today (which went great) I see how important this really is. I love Isaac and want him to be able to share the blessings of the gospel that I've received, and as long as he's still willing to learn the gospel, then I'll be willing to learn and speak his language. In the meantime, we've gotten two of the members of the ward to start learning so that when I leave, there will still be someone here to interpret.
Our hearing investigators are doing great, too. :) We met a man named Mario, a very energetic Spaniard in his mid-30s who's looking for the truth. He loved the Restoration movie and is really diving in to the Book of Mormon. He's learning a lot, and he understands the importance of the Spirit. We talked about baptism, and he expressed concern about getting baptized because of his addiction to smoking. We explained that we can help him quit and he was very excited about the idea! We'll be visiting with him today to teach him more, and get him started on the quit-smoking program.
Natalia, a young Spanish-Brazilian investigator, passed her baptismal interview this week. Her baptism is set for the January 3rd, and we're very excited for her. Also, Michelle Coello, another investigator from
Christmas and Christmas Eve Day are somewhat lame in the field. Why? Because almost no one wants to meet with you on those days. Everyone's spending it with family, or at a party with friends, or something else. No one seems to want to spend it with the lame, boring, weird missionaries. Well, that's not true. There are a few families who have invited us over: one to eat at mediodia Christmas Eve and one to eat mediodia Christmas. Besides that, we'll probably spend most of our time in the streets contacting Muslims and Chinese people. Fun!
We've been saving packages and putting them under Elder Holub's little Christmas Tree in the corner and have been enjoying a variety of Spanish Christmas-y delicacies.
Hampson [the leg of ham] is holding up well. We hit bone on one side of the leg, so we've started cutting in on the other side. This second side is much more juicy and tender than the first. Mmmm....
I love you all and I'm anxiously looking forward to being able to talk with you! Merry Christmas, everyone! I love being a missionary, even though it restricts some of my ability to celebrate Christmas the normal way with all of you. Know that I have you in my thoughts and prayers.
Till next time,
-Elder Knorr

Paul's Place
Paul's Place is a charity for physically and cognitively impaired adults, aged 18-59. Members, volunteers and staff at Paul's Place invited Chalmers to help them produce a thought-provoking collection of images in order to challenge and explore the meaning of disability. The entire collection, composed of 27 sitters, was shot in two weeks with the kind loan of ITV West's studios at Bristol in the UK.
The images were showcased by the international press, the British Journal of Photography, along with art-based publications and worldwide disability publications. The models of the project were proud to have their portraits used in a calendar, which was sold internationally to raise funds. In addition, the portrait of Sarah Mann (included in this presentation) was a finalist in the The Association of Photographers Open Awards and exhibited in their East London Gallery in 2007 where Sarah introduced her portrait in person on the opening night.
In memory of Jon Martin. "No regrets!" Jon Martin 2007
'Here are the images from the bravest nude calendar yet... the verdict of those who took park was delight in the pictures and a massive boost to their self-confidence'
- The Independent
Jon Martin
My name is Jon Martin and I am 29 years old. I have had multiple sclerosis for just over five years and have been a member of Paul's Place for the last two years.
When I was approached about doing the Calendar, I jumped at the chance! Paul's Place has given me so much support and encouragement since I started, I thought it would be good to give something back.
Now that the Calendar is out, I don't regret it. No regrets!
Kath Aldom
My name is Kath Aldom. I am 50 years old. I have been married to Phil for 32 years and have two grown up sons. They make my life complete. In 1995, I founded Paul's Place. Passion, enthusiasm and love have made us into the wonderful charity we are today.
Paul's Place is a massive part of my life. The warmth and love that surrounds me from everyone involved brightens up every day of my life. Everyday, I see people supporting and caring for each other with genuine affection. The pride and love I feel for Paul's Place and all of the people involved in it is sometimes so overpowering it makes me catch my breath. I must be the luckiest person alive.
As you see I have not got the best body in the world. Believe me when I say this is the hardest thing I have ever done. To show ourselves naked makes us incredibly vulnerable, but it is with great pride that I made the decision to be part of this calendar. All of us have different bodies, but luckily we are not judged by them. Please look at all my imperfections closely; when I have clothes on I look like you. I hope by my bravery you will look at others who cannot hide their imperfections and begin to treat them with the respect they deserve.
Sarah Mann
My name is Sarah Mann. I am 20 years old and have cerebral palsy. I have two older brothers and a sister. When I am not in college at Cheltenham, I live with my Mum and Dad in Bristol.
I love going to Paul's Place and have been going there for about two years during college holidays. Before I started going to Paul's Place I was at home with my parents every day and was really bored. I look forward to my days at Paul's Place where I have made lots of good friends. At Paul's Place, I am treated as an equal adult person, not as a disabled person. It allows me to have a break away from my parents (and of course a break for them from me). We have lots of fun at Paul's Place, loads of laughs and do so many enjoyable things.
When I was asked if I would like to do a photo for the calendar, I felt surprised and pleased because I had never thought that I would be able to do anything like that. I really enjoyed having my pictures taken and felt very comfortable and relaxed. When I was told that my photo was going to be in the calendar I could not believe it, I am so chuffed and proud that it's helping Paul's Place, it's great!
Kevin Baker
My name is Kevin Baker. I am 45 and am married with three children - two boys and a girl. I grew up in Bristol but have lived in Thornbury for 20 years, since I got married. I used to be a flour miller - I worked for Shipton Mill for 15 years, where we milled specialised flour.
Two years ago, I had a brain haemorrhage which left me with my disability. I cannot use my left arm and the hospital told me that I would never walk again.
I have proved them wrong - the physiotherapists taught me to walk again, which took eight months.
I came to Paul's Place in October 2005 which made me happy to know that I wasn't alone and could talk to people and make friends again. Personally I feel that there is magic at Paul's Place. Everybody is good to get on with and good to have a laugh with.
I would just like to say that through this whole experience my life has changed, but I have come to terms with it and I would like to thank my wife, Debbie, and my children, Gregory, Joshua and Megan, for standing by me and also a big thank you to Paul's Place for giving me my social life back.
Liz Taylor
My name is Liz Taylor (AKA Your Majesty). I was 40 years old in September. I used to be a cook before I got multiple sclerosis at the age of 26. Coming to Paul's Place has given me the opportunity to do things I have never done before. I enjoy reading and spending time with my husband, even though he is rugby mad and likes to fill his arms with tattoos.
He has seen my picture and thinks it is wonderful and that I was brave to do it. I was a bit worried about doing this photo, but the photographer helped, as he was lush. I didn't think I would do the photo, but I am pleased with it and I hope you enjoy it too.
Gloria Farmer
My name is Gloria Farmer and I am 60 years old.
I was always very shy about my body shape - I am only 5 foot tall and "well rounded", not fat. In my teenage years, I was the first girl in my class to wear a bra and I used to dread going in the shower after games, as I felt so conspicuous. My younger sister and I were brought up by our grandmother, who had a very Victorian outlook. I cannot recall ever seeing my sister or any other member of my family naked. When I was in my teens, the role models we admired were models like Twiggy, skinny with really long legs, which I could definitely not aspire to. In my 20s and 30s, I made the most of my assets - my boobs and quite a small waist, which seemed to be attractive to the opposite sex, as well as giving me confidence.
Now that I have reached the ripe old age of 60 there are more flaws than assets than there used to be. I have always been very active and have quite a good social life, which I value more than trying to imitate the ideal bodies of models and celebrities. The reason I joined Paul's Place was because I developed Parkinson's Disease, which does not really show outwardly at the moment. I also had breast cancer 6 years ago and now have only one breast.
When we were asked to take part in the Calendar, I said yes straight away. I did have second thoughts later, but did decide to take part. On the day of the shoot, I was pretty nervous, as most people were. When my turn came, Theo, the photographer, was very thoughtful and kind and soon put me at ease. I was completely happy during the shoot and was very proud of myself afterwards. My photo is not exactly "page 3", but I feel that the message it conveys is that life is very precious and we should make the most of it and get our priorities right!
Mark Thomas
My name is Mark Thomas. I have multiple sclerosis. Doctors say I have had MS for about 25 years, but the last four years it has changed my life dramatically! I am an ex-lorry driver and was part of that rare group of men and women who loved their job. I miss it so much!!
I am married and could not have made it through without my wife. I miss taking her out for a meal, on holiday; well anywhere really as I used to drive
After about two years of being trapped in my house, staring at four walls, the Social Services sent me to Paul's Place which gives my life some normality and meaning. I have achieved so much at Paul's Place. It has changed my outlook on life, especially other illnesses and disabilities.
It took a lot for me to get my kit off, but when I saw friends doing it, I thought if they can do it, so can I. I thought doing this calendar was going to be a laugh, but after seeing the end result - "I hope you all see the same as me" - that we are all beautiful.
Lisa & Jean Whiting
We are Lisa and Jean Whiting - two more page 3 girls! Lisa is 31 years of age and has suffered from multiple sclerosis since the age of 23. (Jean is Lisa's Mum and her main carer).
We wanted to do this to help raise funds for Paul's Place. We were very nervous, but we were glad to show other people that disabled people can still enjoy life!
Pip Wynn-Griffiths
My name is Pip Wynn-Griffiths. I am 43 years old. When I was 14 I was hit by a caravan, which left me disabled. I have memory and physical impairment.
I find it very difficult living in a world where people do not understand who I am and how I feel.
I found out about Paul's Place through Kath and decided to give it a try. I now go along at least twice a week. I have met many new friends and love joining in all the activities.
I was asked if I would like to be involved in the calendar. The answer was an immediate yes. I love the picture of me because I do not look disabled in it. I hope that it will help to change people's ideas of disabled people. Thank you to Theo who took the photo and made me look so good.
Sean Francis
My name is Sean and I am 22 years old. I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when I was ten months old, but this has not stopped me from having an active social life.
I love sport, particularly football. Arsenal are my team and I have met Thierry Henry - in fact, rumour has it he has my picture on his bedroom wall! I am a season ticket holder at Bristol City for my sins and enjoy away matches especially. I also follow cricket and rugby league.
I am a talented sportsman myself, representing England and Wales at a ball game called Boccia, which is specifically for people with cerebral palsy. My long term aim is to be in the GB team for the 2012 Olympics, but this is very expensive, so if anybody out there would like to sponsor me, I would be very grateful.
I love holidays and travelling. Last year, I sailed for a week on a tall ship with the Jubilee Sailing Trust and this year I went to the World Cup in a motor home with my carers and mates. My holidays with Paul's Place are also great fun.
Michelle & Kathryn Thomson
Hello, we are Michelle (aged 24) and Kathryn - Michelle's Mum and primary carer.
Michelle has a condition called Juvenile Battens Disease, which was only diagnosed when Michelle was nearly 21. Two of the major symptoms of JNCL are progressive loss of sight, and epilepsy. Michelle is now almost totally blind, and has suffered many severe epileptic seizures since she was 16.
Michelle's sight loss began not long after starting primary school and, as it got worse, she eventually left mainstream school in Bristol and transferred to the Royal National Institute for the Blind's College in Worcester. From there she went on to the Royal National College for the Blind at Hereford, where she enjoyed her studies in Performing Arts.
We first got to know about Paul's Place through one of the club's volunteers, who we met during one of Michelle's periods in hospital. When we went along to the club for the first time, we were taken with the happy atmosphere and the helpful and friendly members and staff. Michelle looks forward to the three days each week that she spends at Paul's Place.
Our reason for being involved in this Calendar is to promote disabled people in a positive light and to help raise much needed funds for Paul's Place.
Sam Pointer
Hi, I am Sam. I am 18 years old. I have Cerebral Palsy.
Although I spend all my time in a wheelchair, I am a sports fanatic, especially cricket and I am looking forward to "bowling a maiden over"!
Being a new member of Paul's Place, I was very excited when I was asked to be part of the calendar and it is an honour to be chosen to appear. Paul's Place has given me a whole new group of friends and I love being part of this brilliant group. I hope the calendar raises lots of money so that we can have our own building.
Dean Graham
My name is Dean Graham and I participated in the calendar for and on behalf of Paul's Place. I suffer with Von Richen Heimanns Disease. This means I am in a wheelchair and have difficulty co-ordinating my movements. I am 25 years of age and live with my parents and little nephew and sister, Hayley. We live at Lockleaze.
I have had this disease from the age of one and know no other situation in life. To identify this disease, it is the same as John Merrick, the Elephant Man, but to a very smaller degree, with not so much deformity.
I did the calendar to show people that people with disability are beautiful - they think the same and feel the same as able bodied people.
Danielle Lloyd
My name is Danielle Lloyd, I am 40 years old and was born with a condition called spina bifida. I live independently, I work and I have recently started studying with The Open University. During my spare time I enjoy listening to music, reading and general social activities (many of them with Paul's Place).
I became involved with Paul's Place about three months after it began, after seeing an article about it in a local newspaper. I went along to one of their meetings a few days later and immediately knew that it was an organisation I wanted to be part of. By being involved with Paul's Place, I've gained many new friends over the years and one of the best things about Paul's Place is the support that you gain from the people that are involved.
I've done many things thorough being involved with Paul's Place, that otherwise I probably wouldn't have done. I've gained a computer qualification, which helped me with a training course I went on to do at work. I've been on holiday to places that otherwise I probably would never have seen. One of the biggest changes has been the fact that I've gained the courage to join in with the gym sessions that Paul's Place organises, again thanks to the
support of others, which not only provides me with another social opportunity but makes me more aware of taking care of my health.
I was once asked to describe my life in one word and that word was 'frustration'. I get frustrated that sometimes my body won't do the things that I want it to do, which makes my daily life difficult at times. I also get frustrated that I get treated by society in a way that I don't always like because of my disability. When I was younger it proved very difficult to get a job, as employers didn't want to employ a disabled person.
However, I have been very lucky in the way that my life has turned out in the end, in that I have a very supportive and loving family, some great friends, a home and a job. There are still things that I know that I have missed out on, such as being in a relationship, as men don't always take you seriously as a woman if you are disabled. Overall though, I am very happy with my life and with a bit of luck and a lot of stubbornness, it's surprising what you can achieve!
Paul's Place
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Theo Chalmers for all his hard work and dedication in producing these wonderful images for us. Without his energy, commitment and hardworking assistant Jonny Hyams, this project would still be on the drawing board. We will always be grateful to Theo for giving us the opportunity to show the world just how beautiful we are.

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said Wednesday that he's "not worried about anyone liking me."
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said Wednesday that he's "not worried about anyone liking me," according to ESPN.com.
Griffin and new Washington coach Jay Gruden both admitted the quarterback had become too concerned with what others thought of him and his play, but said now Griffin understands that it's just part of the NFL.
KING: Ted Thompson opens up about tenure as Packers GM
Criticism of Griffin intensified as he and Washington struggled last season. His completion percentage, yards per attempt and touchdown to interception ratio all fell significantly from his 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year-winning season, and the team went 3-13 a season after winning the NFC East.
"I learned not everyone is going to like you. That's the nature of the business, that's the nature of human beings. There are people in this room that don't like me. You just have to move on from that stuff. Jay being here has helped me grow. My family has helped me grow. ... Those things come with the territory."
Last month, Griffin tweeted a message to critics, telling them to keep doubting him. In three games this preseason, Griffin went 13-for-20 for 141 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions.
Washington opens the season Sunday at the Houston Texans.

Lodging schemes
Local lodging schemes are usually run by the council and can put you in touch with someone who has a spare room for rent.
How do supported lodgings work?
Lodgings schemes put people who need a place to stay in contact with people who have a room to rent out. They can often find a place the same day.
In most areas, it is much cheaper than staying in a hostel or bed and breakfasts. You usually get a room to yourself and access to a bathroom or shower. Some hosts also provide meals.
You may be able to stay for a few days, a few weeks or until you are ready to move into your own place. It usually depends on how long the room is free for and how well you and the host get on.
The scheme's staff usually keep in touch and help you sort out benefits or other problems. They can also help you to find a more permanent place to live and may be able to help you raise money for a deposit and/or rent in advance.
If you are 16 to 25 years old, there may also be a Nightstop or other supported lodgings scheme in your area. These operate in a very similar way to lodging schemes and can often find you a place the same day.
Find a place on a lodgings scheme
Most lodgings schemes are run by the council or a local voluntary organisation or charity.
Contact the housing department of your local council or use Citizens Advice to find a local advice centre. They should be able to give you details of any lodgings schemes in your area.
You usually meet the householder before you move in, to talk about basic ground rules and to see if the arrangement suits you. You and the householder can then decide whether you think you will get on.
Rights in another person's home
You can be evicted very easily if you live in another person's home rather than having your own place.
In most cases, you are classed as an excluded occupier or an occupier with basic protection, which means you have limited rights if the landlord wants you to leave.
Cost of lodging schemes
Lodgings schemes usually work out cheaper than renting privately or staying in a hostel or bed and breakfast.
If you claim benefits or have a low income, you may be able to claim universal credit to help pay the rent.
However, housing benefit won't cover the cost of things like meals, cleaning or bills, even if these services are included in the cost of your stay. You have to pay for these extra items yourself.
Find out more from GOV.UK about claiming benefits.

Illinois is investing in local systems building in targeted communities around the state through three initiatives.
All Our Kids (AOK) Networks are working in 13 Illinois communities to connect and coordinate services across sectors of the early childhood system, including health care, mental health services, early learning and care, family supports, and more. At the center of the initiative's conceptual framework is a set of child and family health and well-being outcomes.
The MIECHV (Maternal and Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting) Program supports expanded and enhanced evidence-based home visiting programs in six Illinois communities. The initiative is also testing and refining systemic strategies for universals screening and coordinated intake as well as focusing efforts and resources on developing or supporting local early childhood collaborations.
The Innovation Zones are an Illinois initiative funded through the Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge to develop and implement locally-determined strategies for identifying, engaging, and serving children with highest needs with high quality early learning services.
Most recently, Illinois has been awarded a federal Preschool Development Grant, which will enable 18 communities to develop seamless "pipelines" of services across the early childhood years.
Additionally, there are many local collaborations throughout Illinois that focus on improving outcomes for young children and their families.

Jefferson Davis document attempts to rally the troops...
Item # 645699
August 7, 1863
DAILY RICHMOND EXAMINER, Virginia, August 7, 1863 A very nice Confederate newspaper from the capital of the Confederate States.
Most of a front page column is taken up with two documents, one being a: "Proclamation By the President" which includes: "...Let us rather receive in humble thankfulness the lesson which He has taught in our recent reverses, devoutly acknowledging that to Him & not to our own feeble arms, are due the honor & the glory of victory..." calling for a day of fasting, humiliation & prayer, signed in type: Jefferson Davis. The other document is a lengthy: "Address of The President To the Soldiers of the Confederate States" in which he attempts to rally the troops. The photos show the full text, but a portion includes: "....what they mean by success...their malignant rage aims at nothing less than the extermination of yourselves, your wives, and children. They seek to destroy what they cannot plunder...Fellow citizens, no alternative is left you but victory, or subjugation, slavery and the utter ruin of yourselves, your families & your country. The victory is within your reach. You need but stretch forth your hands to grasp it..." with much more. This Address is signed in type: Jefferson Davis (see photos). Beneath these 2 documents is an advertisement headed: "300 Negroes Wanted" with various details (see).
Also on the front page is some war-related content including: "A Yankee Monitor Disabled by A James River Battery" "From General Lee's Army" "The Situation In Mississippi" "City Intelligence" and other smaller items.
The back page has the always interesting editorial, this one beginning: "The army of the Confederacy contains the best and the worst of its population...Many of the purest & brightest spirits are in the ranks...But by the side of these, the truest heroes that this sun ever saw, are many of the lowest scoundrels that disgrace humanity..." with much more. Also on the back page are: "Additional from The North" "Capture of Important Documents" "Singular Story of General Price, of Missouri" and more.
Complete as a single sheet newspaper with a banner masthead, a minor (archivally repaired) tear near the top of column 4 causes no loss, minimal rubbing, but generally in nice condition.

Forget Mamma Mia! The musical to see this weekend is a low-budget production created for and available solely on the Internet by Joss Whedon. He wrote, produced and directed the Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog during the writer's strike. It's up now, free for a limited time and then via iTunes.
Neil Patrick Harris stars as aspiring supervillain Dr. Horrible, a nice guy with a rather misplaced sense of ambition who is in love with cute girl-next-door (Felicia Day, from the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Nathan Fillion is his arrogant nemesis, a jerk of a musclebound superhero.
Act I went live on July 15, Act II on July 17, and Act II will be posted on July 19. All are free until July 20. Visit now. It's fun, it's funny, and Whedon writes better songs than you'll hear in most new Broadway shows.
The episodes, along with other news and information, can be found here.

I'm on the phone, again, with my father. This time I've called him. To get his side of the story.
The story is something I won't go into here, for many reasons, including legal ones. Let's just say that it involved provocation, violence, an evil neighbor, and his golf handicap. Familiar tropes.
Our discussion ranges far and wide, backwards and forwards. People have been after him his whole life, my dad says, for no reason. There was that guy at the steel mill who tried to knife him. Good thing he was able to talk him down with a quote from Thomas Payne. Then there was the guy in the army who tried to shoot him. That time he talked him down with quotes from Shakespeare.
I'm exhausted by the speed of his chatter. By the mental leaps necessary to follow what he's saying. Dad, I say. Have you ever wondered why so many people want to kill you?
See! he said. Your Old Man is a great character! You should be writing about me!
I've been hearing this for years. What a great source of material you have! people say.
It occurs to me that this is just another untruth in a whole rat's nest of untruths. No matter how you look at it, the vessel is half-empty.

|Overcoming Low Self Esteem
The Importance of Learning Self Discipline, Self Mastery and Developing Healthy Personal Habits as Children:
Having a sense of self discipline, developing healthy personal habits, and a sense of self mastery are important to personal development and our sense of self esteem. These traits begin to develop, without our realizing it, when we're children.
When children learn to develop healthy habits like learning to put away their toys after they play, doing simple age-appropriate chores around the house, keeping their word about the commitments that they make, and so on, they're learning important life skills that are essential to their development beyond the particular chore or event that is involved. They're also learning to be responsible and deal with certain aspects of life that they might not want to do but that are essential to every day life as well as their personal growth and development.
|Learning Healthy Habits as Children
When children don't learn to master certain chores or develop healthy personal habits like the importance of getting up on time, doing homework and turning it in when it's due, keeping their word about a commitment that they've made (and so on), they often have a much harder time as adults dealing with more mature issues in their work and personal lives than children who have gradually learned these life skills over time when they were growing up. Not learning these skills can also have a profound effect on a person's self esteem as well as how others view them as adults.
As a psychotherapist, I hear from many adult clients who talk about how frustrated they feel that their teenagers and young adult children have not developed healthy personal habits and self discipline and how this has affected the children's self esteem. These clients are often concerned that their children's lack of self discipline will not bode well for their chances out in the world with regard to personal relationships, school, and career.
They fear that their children are just drifting without purpose and that they might have a hard time setting goals, holding onto a job or maintaining healthy relationships later in life. They talk about children who only want to do chores when they want to do them (or not at all), who spend most of the weekend loafing around or playing video games, who have no healthy routines, and they worry: "How is my child going to make his way in the world?"
When I hear clients who express these concerns about their teenagers or young adult children, I can understand why they're concerned. As any responsible adult knows, there are many things that we might not want to do, but we know that we must as essential parts of our lives. For instance, even if you think you have the most interesting job in the world, there are often parts of work that you don't like or you might find boring or unfulfilling.
Imagine telling your boss that you just "didn't feel like" doing those aspects of your job, or you procrastinated doing them so that your boss had to come to you several times to ask about them, or if you pretended not to hear your boss because you were listening to your music (some of you who have teens might relate to this). After a while, you might not have that job for long. Aside from how your boss and colleagues might feel about you, you probably would not feel good about yourself and it would start to erode your self esteem.
Learning to develop healthy habits and self discipline should start gradually when you're young. Even young children can begin by learning to do simple tasks. Is it possible that they might grumble, pout or cry when you ask them to do simple things like learning to put away their toys when they're done playing? They might. They might question you as to "why" they need to do this or tell you that they don't want to do it.
They might test the boundaries with you in many ways. As a parent, you might even tell yourself that you would do it better and quicker and use that as an excuse to yourself to avoid having a confrontation with your child. But the importance of your child learning to do these simple chores is not only about the chores themselves--it's about their learning self discipline, responsibility and a sense of self mastery. They are probably too young to realize this but, as an adult, you know it.
Learning to do simple tasks, as a child, as well as learning to keep your word is also about learning to deal with your emotions when you feel annoyed and frustrated about something that you don't want to do--or just life, in general. Whether it's about learning to make your bed, practicing the piano or doing other things that you might not want to do at the moment because you're thinking about doing more interesting things, the skills that you learn by doing these tasks anyway (even when you don't want to do them) become part of your emotional development as well because you learn how to tolerate frustration.
We've all witnessed or experienced two year old children when they are having temper tantrums. The parent who is able to withstand the child's temper tantrum with love and patience, while the parent stands his or her ground, is helping that child to develop emotionally. For instance, when a child doesn't want to leave the park when it's time to go home or doesn't want to get in the carriage and a parent sets limits with the child (in a loving way), that child, without realizing it, is gradually developing a tolerance for acceptable amounts of frustration.
In these situations, the child has tested the boundaries with his mother, the mother demonstrates that she knows best, the child has a temper tantrum for a while (maybe a long while) but, in the end, the child learns that he must do something that he doesn't want to do.
More importantly, he learns that he has survived in this ordeal, and that his mother has survived as well (although she might feel inwardly exasperated), and he learns that his mother still loves him and he still loves her. Can the two year old articulate these lessons? No. But, over time, we see the evidence of this in his personal development as he grows and continues to learn these important lessons in life skills. We can see it as the child learns to take on bigger, more complex age-appropriate responsibilities as they grow. We also see it in their sense of confidence.
Similarly, when a child learns life skills like keeping her word and following through with commitments , she will be better equipped as an adult to maintain her adult commitments. But when a child doesn't learn to develop these skills when they're younger, it's harder for them to keep their commitments when they're adults.
If they haven't learned to develop a sense of the importance of keeping commitments and they only do certain things when they want to do them, they will probably struggle as adults. Lacking guidance from their parents as a child, they won't have internalized it as an adult. They will lack the internal emotional resources to deal with commitments and their only own internal "guide" might be whether they feel like it or not, which won't be acceptable in many circumstances in the outside world.
Lacking these internal resources as an adult will also affect how they feel about themselves. It's hard to feel confident, resourceful, and effective as an adult if your only guide to dealing with your responsibilities and commitments is whether you feel like it or not. You're definitely on shaky ground if this is your compass for functioning in the world. After a while, as friends, romantic partners and work supervisors refuse to put up with this, it reinforces an internal sense of incompetence and failure.
Conversely, when children learn to stick with their commitments and see the results of their efforts and diligence, it increases their self esteem and sense of self mastery.
For instance, the child who learns to stick with practicing the piano on a regular basis (even though he would prefer to play video games at the moment) begins to make the link between practice, being diligent and responsible and a sense of self mastery. He sees that, over time, his time and effort has led to being able to play a certain piece of music with increasing skill. It becomes gratifying to him.
He also learns to translate this into other areas of his life: Studying and doing his homework, which might be boring in the short term, produces better academic results. Better academic results often leads to a more successful career. These life skills become an important part of his personal growth and development as well as his sense of self confidence.
It's certainly possible to learn to develop these life skills as an adult. I often work with clients in my psychotherapy practice helping them to learn these skills and this leads to a greater sense of self esteem. However, it's harder to learn when you're an adult and, often, by the time an adult comes to psychotherapy to deal with self esteem issues related to the lack of these related life skills, they have often struggled for a while in their relationships and career.

- Reviews
Real Customer Reviews
- Great insulated pad
Likes: Packs quite small, carrying bag has room to spare, quick to fill, comfortable
Dislikes: None.
- Best value I've found!
Likes: Light and quick inflating. Comfortable and well insulated.
Dislikes: A little loud.
- Good thickness and firm
Likes: Takes 12-15 breaths to inflate to firm. Can sleep on side without bottoming out. Haven't used in cold weather yet.
Dislikes: Little tough to fully deflate when rolling up to stow in bag. Take a little bit to figure out the valve. Push to close - pull to open. It tends to close on its own which I guess is okay.
- Exceptional performance
Likes: It blows up incredibly fast. I think it took me about 14 breaths. I am impressed with how comfortable it is. We are campground camping the next two weeks and we may use these instead of our big queen sized air mattress.
Dislikes: None!
- Nice inflatable pad
Likes: Easy to inflate
Dislikes: None
- Great pad
Likes: This pad made sleeping on my Helinox Cot One very comfortable. Without it, you might as well be sleeping on a wood floor. It cushioned and insulated well.
Dislikes: The valve broke the first time I went to deflate it for packing. I'm returning it and will try to be gentler with the next one, though I'm not sure how I managed to tear the top off a plastic component like that!
- Upgrade
Likes: I am a side sleeper. This is an upgrade over my REI 1.t lite core. I am a big boy and it is wide enough.
Dislikes: None yet
Likes: Great support/cushion. Insulation too. Inflates quickly in a minute or two with slow long breaths without getting lightheaded. Took me about 12-15 breaths to get as firm as it will go. I really like that this is not a noisy inflatable when rolling around on it like some other brands. The few added ounces added is worth it to me for more cushion and less noise. To my relief it fit in my BA mattress sleeve. Packs up about the size of a nalgene bottle.
Dislikes: It does lose a little air overnight which is not uncommon for an inflatable.
Likes: Great size
Dislikes: Na
Likes: I was really surprised how well the pad performed. I wanted something lighter and this pad fit the bill. It is more comfortable to me than my 2 1/2" pad. The V chambers really make for a more comfortable feel. At 5'11", 194 did not bottom out, even on my side.
Dislikes: If valve holds up over time this will be my choice of sleeping pad from now on.

The Homeless and Elderly Population
February 8, 2010
The Homeless & Elderly Population
As we seek pleasure, we often forget our purpose in life. We feed our egos as we like, but there is one thing that humans don't know is that all of us have access to opportunities like those who think they have everything in life. But unfortunately not all of us are capable of seeing the poverty in our society. Not all homeless people chose to live in the streets or shelters, especially the elderly. If a person believes this, then their perception is ignorant and unaware. (Nancy Del Castillo, 2010) Homelessness is a global issue. The cause of homelessness is varied and most people ignore homelessness as if it should be normal to see it n contemporary society. The number of homelessness has been very high in the recent years. Our goal for those in the Human Services field is to promote awareness and compassion about homelessness in our society and the rest for the world by providing the real facts. It is heartless to remain in a cage of selfishness while our fellow human beings endure the pain of cold and lack of food, especially for the elderly population in which continue to be a forgotten population. As human beings, we are capable of much more. It is believed that the origin of homelessness is traced back during colonial America. As early as 1640, the English "vagrants" were listed as outcast individuals and the police were after them. The homeless people were regarded as "Sturdy beggars" in the mid eighteenth century and they were found in every corner of the colonial towns. The problem of homelessness at that period was a result of the King Philip' War of 1675-1676 against the native people. Many colonies were driven out of their homes to see shelter in the forest. But as the war continue between the French and Indians, the securities of some families were threatened and forced many families to become refugees across the frontier areas...

I got this dress from River Island for Christmas and I love it! I can't wait to wear it.
These are just a few other bits and bobs I got, not everything though. I got a new ipod, Bridesmaids, a whole load of soap and glory stuff ( review to come!), a hat, a bag, nail varnish, a wee sparkly box thingy, a snood and a blanket and a sign from my Norwegian exchange partners, Malin and Yvonne. It says god natt & sov godt, which, I believe means good night & sleep well. I have hung it above my bed.
Today the boxing day sales were on in Edinburgh. It's always absolutely MANIC first thing in the morning because everyone feels the need to get up super early to get what they want and I actually read that Next opened at six o'clock. Why would you EVER be up that early in the holidays? Eh? However, as I didn't really want anything in particular, I arranged with my friend to go into town at ten o'clock, just to make sure there was still some stuff left. We ended up spending 4 and a half hours on Princes Street without actually buying much. I only bought one thing from the sales!
This is what I wore today. My big chunky knit jumper from River Island (which I also got for Christmas), black leggings from Primark and my chocolate uggs with the tops turned down to keep my tootsies toasty :)
I only actually bought four things (apart from a hotdog and coke!) and only one was from the sales. I bought a stripey jumper from H&M for £7.99, a top from Urban Outfitters for £10 pounds in their sale, a Barry M light blue nail polish and a mascara from superdrug.
This is the nail polish close up ( sorry for the rubbish picture quality!) I haven't tried it yet but I bought the mint green one a while ago and I really like it so I went back for more of the same. I might do a wee review about it soon, although on the other hand, I'll probably never get round to it! Hehe!
How was your Christmas? Did you go to the sales near you? Buy anything?

Demolition has begun! This is what my front yard looks like right now
All the rubbage still carries that musty stench, sooo happy to have it out.
I can't tell you how excited I was when these hardwood floors were revealed. We had NO idea the 110 year old original hardwood floors were there. My landlord was originally planning on putting in new carpet or laminate wood floors due to her budget, so this was a wonderful surprise! They're so beautiful and in great shape – they're getting refinished on Wednesday and I can't wait to see how they turn out.
This is where the units will be connected. I'm hoping my landlord will be open to the idea of removing this carpet as well. Those same hardwood floors are hiding under there, it's painful to know that beautiful amazing wood flooring is just laying there going un noticed. I grow more and more resentful towards the carpet as the days pass.
This was their kitchenette which will soon be my new office! I've never had a proper office space and am so excited! Ive been using the dining room table as my office, I keep my huge desktop computer for editing there -which renders the table useless for all other purposes. I' had been trying to figure out a solution for this ever since I moved in. At first I was considering trying to go in on a shared office space, but I'm not quite ready for that financially. My other idea was to clear out some space in the laundry room and put a small desk in. As a freelancer working from home, I think its really important to have a space that is dedicated to working. I'm planning on doing a built in desk, to maximize on space. My new office will be about 5 feet from the foot of my bed, so I'm going to make a no working in pajamas rule for myself – to help keep me in the 'work' set of mind.
This is my new dressing room where I will sit and gaze in the mirror and brush my hair one hundred times before bed.
The bathroom is getting a complete make over. Everything is getting replaced, from the walls down to the pipes! I found out I will not be getting a claw foot bath tub, sigh. Still excited for everything else we have in store though! Stay tuned for my bathroom inspiration post!

My 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house is turning into a 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom house! I rent 1 of 3 units in an old historical house in Highland Park. The second story is one unit, and downstairs is split into 2 units. I had never seen in the next door unit but constantly day dreamed about connecting it to mine – and then my dreams came true. My neighbors moved out and my landlord called and said she wanted to renovate the unit and join it to mine – and the best part was, she said I could help design it. The new addition consists of a bathroom, a bedroom, two closets and a kitchenette. It was in definite need of some fixing up. A strange man and a women lived there for 10 years and I don't think they opened a window the entire time. The air was so thick with perfume, musk and mold – I had to hold my breathe the first few times I went in. They were both un employed, drank bud light in the front yard at 8 am, and had a habit of collecting furniture that people left out on the street. When I was moving into the house back in August, I left a small dresser on the sidewalk for about 5 minutes while I ran inside – by the time I came back out they had dragged it onto their porch and placed a potted dead plant on it. Also, the woman slept on the floor in the hallway….
This is my new bedroom. You can't really tell how disgusting it was in there by the photos, perhaps the smell attributed to a lot of how dirty it felt. It's safe to say it hadn't been cleaned in years though.
This is opposite the bay window, that doorway leads out into the new hallway which will connect to my current place.
Here is the bathroom, and yes that is mold growing on the wall. I'm so excited at the prospect of getting to help design this new space. There was talk of a claw foot bathtub – but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Demolition starts soon, so stay tuned!

1. Sun Body Teardrop 2. han kjøbenhavn timeless 3. Striped Crop Tee 4. Vintage Levis 5. Multnomah Clogs
I know it's just barely January and the east coast is snuggled up in the snow but I'm ready for spring! I had my winter fix in Alturas, a small town with a big sky and 20 degree weather – I'm ready for longer days and warm nights.
I bought the Sun Body hat this fall and love its timeless look. When I'm not wearing it, it hangs on the wall in my entry way. My Han Kjobenhavn glasses, or Hank, as Michael and I have somehow come to refer to them are my favorite sunglasses right now. I love their classic design and how versatile they are. Now – I had sworn off destroyed jeans 7 years ago but here I am gravitating towards the same look again, except this time they're Levis not Abercrombie & Fitch. Oh and those clogs….they're everything you could ever hope for in a clog and so much more.
As much as I enjoy high fashion, comfort and functionality are really important for me . This is an outfit I can work in at the pottery studio, take off my apron and be ready to go run errands etc.
1. Gold Finger Sequin Pant 2. Crystal Wild Flower Necklace 3. Seaside Cropped Shirt 4. Jeffrey Campbell Carina Cutout
I don't have time to go shopping for New Year's Eve but I've put together my ideal look for this year's celebration. I'm not much of a dress and high heels girl, so I went with sequin pants – perfect for dancing and low heeled Jeffrey Campbell boots for comfort. I would wear these pants everyday if I could. I layered this crystal necklace from J Crew over a casual stripped cotton shirt. I love this necklace, It's really easy to dress it up with a dress or wear it more casually with a t-shirt or sweater. This year I'm headed to Malibu to go to some neighborhood parties for New Year's. There will be dancing, dogs, a canon being fired, whiskey and hopefully a lot of glitter – although Michael despises it for the very reasons I can't get enough of it. My only resolution this year is to be more pro-active, in every aspect of my life. Sometimes I find myself just waiting for things to come to me; friends, job opportunities, inspiration, etc. So this year I'm going to focus on not letting myself get stuck in that mindset. Here's to a happy and prosperous New Year!

I'm up in Modoc County to visit family for the holidays. It's a very small town, the kind of town that has a main street that it is quite literally the main street and almost the only street. A few things catch my attention here; the old architecture, deer, and paint by number murals. Paint by numbers make me happy even when they're 5 inches tall, imagine how happy murals make me. I camped out in 23 degree weather to shoot these without cars parked in front of them

So I just recently did a makeover of my boyfriend"s room (photos to come) and I was pretty nervous as to whether or not I'd be able to pull off a more masculine design. Well I got the hang of pretty quickly and now all I want to shop for is mens stuff. I've gotten Michael enough gifts so I thought I'd share a little gift roundup of some of the things I got him/convinced him to buy and other things that will have to wait for another holiday.
1. Shetland Sweater 2. Unknown Pleasures 3. Whiskey Decanter
4. Whiskey Tags 5. Horn Bottle Opener 6. Coal Coasters 7, Desert Mali Boot
8. Striped Beanie 9. Timex Watch
The whiskey decanter I got him for his birthday/Hanukkah./Christmas and had his last name engraved into the wood stopper – and then of course bought myself one. I actually ordered it 7 months early because I'm not good at waiting for birthdays, but it was on backorder, then got sent to the wrong address and then finally showed up on my doorstep right before his birthday. I wish that happened every time I bought presents prematurely. The sweater is from JCrew – its so amazing that Michael , who is not exactly eager to spend upwards of $100 on a sweater, hardly needed any convincing by me to buy it.

Having uneven skin tone can be quite a nightmare but this is heightened if your face and your body are shades apart. This can be quite a big problem as this can turn heads and it can also cause issues with which clothes to wear. This can also be a product of tanning as much of your body absorbs the sun's rays as opposed to our face. Since our face has a much sensitive skin than our body's, we tend to shield it a lot thus earning a much lighter tone.
While we can stress just how bad this situation can be, it's better if we look into the possible solutions to correct your skin tone.
- Makeup is your friend. While we can't magically change the color of our body or our face, makeup is a good way to help even out the skin tone. It's best to remember using the right shade of foundation since a lighter foundation might end up highlighting your face.
- Use a self-tanner. If you're more on an olive color or bronze, dabbing on some self-tanners will do the trick. It gets better as you can manipulate the way how the bronze settles on your skin. This gives room to the 3D like tan that the Jenners have popularized.
- Bronzers are a key to getting the dark hues right. If you're not sure about trying out some self-tanning then bronzers is the next best cosmetics agent. With a dab of this powder on your skin, you can easily shift the tone. Much like a self-tanner, using a bronzer can help you achieve a more contoured appearance.
- If you're not keen on the makeup department, you may want to try out some bronzing balms. It's a little different than bronzers as these concoctions work much like how BB creams do. With their thicker consistency and thick but non-greasy coverage, the bronzing balms are a good way to darken the pigmentation of your face.
- Revamp your skin care regimen. At times, our bodies do miss out on the tender loving care which is why skin discoloration starts. It's best to set aside some time for a full-body exfoliating session. It's best to be keen on the neck and your chest areas as these spots tend to have the stark difference in color.
Difference in color should never get in the way of you being comfortable with yourself. With these little tidbits, you can surely achieve an even tone for any occasion.

Urals Region
Taking its name from the majestic Ural Mountain Range that slices through it, the Urals Region is one of Russia's twelve economic regions, consisting of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Kurgan Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Orenburg Oblast, Perm Krai, Sverdlovsk Oblast and the Udmurt Republic. The Ural Mountains, known in Russian folklore and history as the Great Stone Belt, run from north to south across western Russia, extending into neighboring Kazakhstan and forming a natural boundary between Asia and Europe.
Located between the Ural Mountains and the Volga River, the Republic of Bashkortostan has the city of Ufa as its administrative center. The Republic of Bashkortostan has more than 13,000 rivers, many of which form part of a deepwater transportation system opening up access to ports of both the Baltic and Black Seas. It also has a large stretch of the Ural Mountains within its borders and is rich in mineral and crude oil reserves. Culture and history feature prominently in the Republic of Bashkortostan, which is home to no less than fifteen theaters, a film studio and a large number of museums and public libraries.
Located to the east of the Urals and lying on the banks of the Miass River, the city of Chelyabinsk is the administrative center of the Chelyabinskl Oblast. The city was an important depot for the construction of the famed Trans-Siberian Railway and remains an important industrial center for the Urals Region. With more than a dozen universities in the city, it is no wonder that many well respected Russian politicians, scientists, sportsmen and other personalities are from Chelyabinsk.
The Sverdlovsk Oblast has the vibrant city of Ekaterinburg as it administrative center. The Western Siberian Plain, together with the eastern slopes of the Middle and North Urals, form the bulk of the Sverdlovsk Oblast. This ruggedly beautiful part of the Urals Region of Russia has a fascinating history, which can be explored at the many museums located in Ekaterinburg and other towns and cities of Sverdlovsk Oblast.
Reputed to be one of the oldest cities in Siberia, Kurgan is the administrative center of the Kurgan Oblast in the Urals Region of Russia. The city lies between Omsk and Ekaterinburg on the Trans-Siberian Railway line. With its fertile, well-watered terrain, agriculture forms an important part of the Kurgan Oblast's economy, while the city of Kurgan is home to the Ilizarov's Scientific Center of Reparative Traumatology and Orthopedics.
With its abundant natural beauty, fast-flowing rivers and the magnificent Urals, tourism plays an important role in the Orenburg Oblast. Located on the Ural River, the city of Orenburg is the administrative center of the Orenburg Oblast and is home to a number of universities, seven museums and five state theaters. The Udmurt Republic, with Izhevsk as its administrative center, lies between the Kama and Vyatka Rivers with forests covering more than 40 percent of its territory.
The administrative center of the Perm Krai, the city of Perm is located on the banks of the Kama River with the Ural Mountains as a picturesque backdrop. The name is derived from the Komi-Permyak language word 'Parma' meaning 'a hilly place covered with woods', and this aptly describes the region. The Kama River, which runs through the middle of the city, forms part of the waterway opening up access for the Urals Region to the Baltic Sea, White Sea, Sea of Azov, Caspian Sea and Black Sea.

A charity night featuring Yorkshire County Cricket Club coach Jason Gillespie and cricket commentator Dave Callaghan will take place at Bilton Cricket Club, Harrogate, on Thursday, 28 April 2016, starting at 7.30pm.
The event has been organised by Club President Jane Blackburn, whose brother passed away from skin cancer last year.
The 'Yorkshire v Cancer' evening will raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research, which is working with Yorkshire County Cricket Club, the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation and the Yorkshire Cricket Board to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of skin cancer and highlight the dangers of the sun.
Gillespie and Callaghan will host a raffle and auction to raise money for the charity's Sun Awareness campaign, and both will be on hand for a Q&A session. Auction items donated by local businesses include a round of golf for four people, signed Leeds Rhinos shirts, a signed Yorkshire County Cricket Club bat, a signed Alistair Cook shirt and tickets to a Yorkshire T20 game.
The evening is free to attend. Raffle tickets can be purchased for £1 on the night or in advance from the clubhouse bar. Jane's employer William Hill has promised to match up to £500 raised during the event.
Sophie Bunker, Community Engagement at Yorkshire Cancer Research, said:
We are very grateful to Bilton Cricket Club for holding this event and wish it every success on the night. The number of people diagnosed with skin cancer in Yorkshire is increasing at an alarming rate and we hope events like this will help to raise awareness of the disease and the precautionary measures you can take to keep yourself safe in the sun.

And now for something completely different 🙂 I am attending the Ocean Observatories Initiative Science Workshop in Baltimore. Today was the first day and there's a half day tomorrow. OOI is big science in its purest form. It's multi-decade, multi-hundred million dollar facility for studying the ocean. In Europe, they have ESONET and in Japan, they have lots of similar projects, but DONET is probably the most similar. Canada has NEPTUNE.
There are several parts to this thing: regional scale nodes (RSN), global scale nodes (GSN), coastal nodes, cyberinfrastructure (CI), and education/public engagement (EPE). The next 5 years are about building the infrastructure, and then the implementing organizations will operate and maintain the system for 2 years after that. The system is expected to be in service for 25-30 years. Some data might start coming out in 2012 or 2013, but the actual commissioning dates are later. All the data will be freely available in real time or as soon as possible. The implementing organizations are all selected with the exception of EPE. There will be an intent to intend to intend to intend something or other in December, and then a bidders' conference, and then an award next spring.
The workshop has been pretty cool so far. They started with some program overviews, info about the NSF, and program management stuff. You'd think the program management stuff would be boring, but holy cow look at all of the moving parts! The science requirements for this thing have been developed over the past 10 years and then there are regular programmatic requirements as well as special ones since they applied recovery act money. So it's a big deal to make sure the design and build all meet the requirements and that they get done on time and on budget.
Next, they talked about research opportunities (in very general terms) and education/public engagement. Since the EPE thing hasn't been awarded yet, and at this stage it's infrastructure, not specific education programs that was somewhat short. Interestingly, the audiences they've identified are not the typical "k to gray" but only post-secondary and what the speaker called "free choice learning." I guess that's because of the types of data that will be coming out.
The sessions the rest of the day were even neater. They were on "science drivers and design" - one on coastal, one on regional, one on high latitude, and then the final on linking global to local science. Of course some of these were better than others - the best were like the best NOVA or Discovery channel show, but with more meat! The regional scale node is up off of Washington state on the Juan de Fuca plate. It will be cabled, so there will be lots of power and lots of bandwidth lots of kilometers from the shore and maybe as deep as a few thousand meters at the end. The speakers mentioned some things that can be done there with that.
Coastal was also kind of cool. They'll have these moored buoys that can make their own power at the top using wind and solar as well as communicate via satellite and acoustically to AUVs and to gliders. The speaker spent some time talking about the coastal shelf and why it's a neat place to study. Fascinating.
High latitude (someone in the audience complained that it's not really all that high and that there's a program issue at NSF with handoffs between Polar programs and Ocean programs - but anyway) gave a lot of really good reasons these spots were selected. I had wondered because I didn't know what Irminger Sea and the Argentinean Basin had in common. Now's the time when I should tell you some really good science. Alas, I've probably forgotten most of it. Sediment deposits. Wild currents. Um....
One of the PIs made a big deal about how their field was all expeditionary, then satellite was accepted gradually, but that this is a whole new way of doing this type of science. Interesting.
Tomorrow there's more on the cyber bit. If you're thinking about asking for money it seems like their answer was to do workshops first. So do workshops.
