Andre Banerjee
Project Title: Beyond the Therapeutic: Addressing Mental Health Through Landscape
Bio: Andre Banerjee is a senior at The Ohio State University majoring in landscape architecture. He is interested in how we as humans interact with the built environment and how design can be used as a medium to address different issues. He is the president of the Active Minds chapter at Ohio State. He decided to become a mental health advocate because he first experienced mental illness and one of the hardest times of his life as a freshman in college. After a long recovery period seeing therapists, counselors, and the help of family and friends, he wants to help those who were or are struggling. As a self-described visual and design-oriented person, landscape architecture appealed to Andre as a way to combine his interests to hopefully make an impact, even if it is small, for the future.
Project Description: This project is focused on how the design of the outdoor built environment on college campuses influences mental health. Andre seeks to uncover what specific features of the landscape and built environment contribute to feelings of fear and anxiety. Through field drawings and interviews, he will compare what conditions students are either drawn to or detracted from because of negative feelings that they evoke. From this information, he will present his findings to counselors at Ohio State and ask for their feedback to influence a) spaces where counselors meet students for treatment or recommend students spend time as part of their treatment and b) future plans to create spaces that could be used in conjunction with treatment.
Bryanna Jones
Project Title: Forging a Space of Our Own: The Impact of Affinity Housing on the Psychological Wellbeing of Black Students
Bio: As a third-year student at Ursinus College and the 2017 Teagle Diversity Fellow, Bryanna Jones conducted independent research on the ways in which affinity housing impacts the psychological well being of Black students on predominantly white campuses. Her research underscored the importance of physical safe spaces for ethnic-racial minority groups. Bryanna is also a lab manager of Dr. Vanessa Volpe's Health Experience Across the Lifespan (HEAL) lab. In her campus community, Bryanna serves as a Writing Fellow and Program coordinator for the African American and Africana Studies house where she coordinates events related to the theme for the entire campus community. Ms. Jones plans to continue her work as a Clinical Psychologist.
Project Description: Her project will take a strengths-based approach (Coghlan & Brydon–Miller, 2014), drawing upon not only the challenges facing Black students but the strengths they bring when coping with racially insensitive experiences in higher education; in order to better understand how to support their college experience. The project will address three overarching questions: 1) In what ways does residence in affinity housing shape students' sense of community? 2) In what ways does residence in affinity housing shape students' racial identity? 3) In what ways does residence in affinity housing shape students' perceptions of safety?
Brian Keum
Bruce C. Abrams Foundation Scholar
Project Title: The Impact of Storytelling on Men's Psychological Help-seeking Attitudes: The Effects of Online Video
Bio: Brian Keum is a fourth-year counseling psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland-College Park. He and his advisor Dr. Matthew J. Miller are examining mental health correlates (e.g., coping self-efficacy) of racism, attitudes toward seeking medical and psychological help, health-related issues of the elderly population, and research on acculturation processes. Brian is particularly interested in examining the often-overlooked experiences of marginalization in training, health, and other aspects. His goal is to apply multicultural and social justice lenses to illuminate counselor training models that are applicable to counselor trainees of color as most original models have been developed from a European American perspective.
Project Description: The aim of the proposed study is to harness the potential of storytelling and test the efficacy of a brief, online video intervention for reducing men's self-stigmatizing beliefs and promoting positive psychological help-seeking attitudes. Specifically, he will test the hypotheses that the video intervention, as compared to a control condition (no video) and a "standard practice" condition (information-based brochure on men's depression; Hammer & Vogel, 2010), is more effective at reducing stigma and promoting positive help-seeking attitudes among men.
Meghana Nallajerla
Project Title: Perceptions of Depression in South Asian Immigrants
Bio: Meghana Nallajerla is an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, studying psychology and gender, sexuality, and women's studies. Through her academics and activism, she has worked to empower South Asian communities, while also bringing an interdisciplinary approach to her field. Her research has especially been informed by a desire to bridge the gap between academia and the grassroots community. As an aspiring Clinical Psychologist, she hopes to continue this research by working with South Asian immigrants to deliver culturally-appropriate psychotherapy. Ultimately, she aims to lay the groundwork for building effective therapeutic interventions that are culturally accessible to South Asian immigrants through understanding what South Asian immigrant communities find appropriate and accessible.
Project Description: Through this project, Meghana aims to understand the relationship between migration, acculturation, and perceptions of depression in first and second generation South Asian immigrants. Immigrants, despite being some of the fastest growing communities in the United States, are often the least studied. Given that this is a rapidly expanding population that is also at greater risk for disorders such as depression, it is important to understand their perceptions and build foundational knowledge on Asian/immigrant communities so that appropriate cultural interventions may be furthered. This will be done through quantitative data collection, analysis, and presentation.
Tolulope Ola
Stephen C. Rose Legacy Scholar
Project Title: Matters of the Mind: Exploring African Immigrant/Refugee Youths Mental Health using Photovoice Strategy
Bio: Tolulope Ola holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Demography and Social Statistics from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, Master of Science degree in Medical Sociology and a PhD in Population Studies from University of Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Recently, Tolulope earned a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Public Health from Argosy University, Twin Cities in Eagan, Minnesota, and is pursuing a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Marriage & Family Therapy at the same university. The emphasis of her research is on the interface of health and human rights, drawing on the disciplines of public health and population studies while her recent research has focused on integrating psychosocial issues, cultural values, and rights into sustainable management of chronic diseases.
Project Description: Tolulope will research whether or not African Immigrant/Refugee youths' conceptualization and perception of mental health have any effect on their mental health. She will use the Social Ecological Framework to frame the research and analyze the results to determine whether any effect influences the youths' level of functioning.
Ashley Villarta
Bruce C. Abrams Foundation Scholar
Project Title: The Science of Burnout and How to Prevent It
Bio: Ashley Villarta is a post-baccalaureate student at CSU East Bay Pre-Professional Health Program, intending to become a physician. Ashley first became interested in mental health after developing depression during her undergraduate years at University of California, Berkeley. Since then, she has addressed her illness head-on, studying Neurobiology and Conflict Resolution. She is now a suicide counselor for Crisis Support Services of Alameda County, Co-Executive Director for CSU East Bay's Peace of Mind Mental Health Organization and a participant in Stanford's Leadership Education for Aspiring Physicians Program. She intends on using her platforms in order to create workshops throughout the Bay Area to promote, educate, and help those struggling with mental illness. She hopes to inspire people to realize that their mental illness does not have to be a weakness nor a limit to the things that they can accomplish.
Project Description: The project will research the ways in which burnout and chronic stress affect the brain and body physiologically and the social factors/social determinants of burnout. The research will also focus on the different treatments, coping strategies, and therapies for combatting burnout. Based on the research, Ashley plans to create workshops for the Bay Area that promote self-care and increase awareness about burnout.
The Active Minds Emerging Scholars Fellowship is generously supported by the Scattergood Foundation for Behavioral Health. We would also like to thank the Steve Fund and Bruce C. Abrams Foundation for their generous support of three scholars.

Love hurts
At times I dunno why I allow myself to grow close. That's as brief as I can put it.
02/22/12 10:24:42PM @the-importance-of-being-jonny:
The more I feel people grow distant, the more I make myself scarce. I guess it's a coping mechanism that I've always had. The less interaction, the better.

Welcome to our weekly round-up of all that's happening in London's food and drink scene.
Inside this week: Jason Atherton, pizza, new openings
Jason Atherton In Bethnal Green
Well, sort of. The ex-Ramsay chef whose restaurant empire includes Pollen Street Social and Berners Tavern has been announced as a backer of the new restaurant which will replace Viajante in Bethnal Green's Town Hall Hotel. Lee Westcott, who currently works at Atherton's restaurants in Singapore, will take on the role of head chef and will also look after the hotel's other restaurant, The Corner Room. Viajante closes at the end of next week, but neither its opening date nor its name are yet known. Details on what ex-Viajante chef Nuno Mendes is up to now are in a previous Food And Drink News round-up.
Bermondsey Pizza Crawl
Wholesale bakery Ticino on Bermondsey Street has launched a pizza restaurant on the road. It comes just before sourdough pizza masters Franco Manca is due to open a new branch on the same street. Italian restaurant Zucca is also planning a pizza-led expansion. Guess we all know where to go next time we want a pizza crawl.
Pub With Rooms
The Tommyfield in Kennington is opening a six-room boutique hotel on two floors above the gastropub. It's run by the Renaissance Pubs group, which has several venues across south London, and has plans to open more pubs with accommodation in the future.
New For Norman
Russell Norman's Polpetto reopened this week. It's swapped the space above Soho's The French House for a larger site down the road on Berwick Street. It comes at the same time as chef Alex Windebank is named as new head chef at the restaurateur's pub Ape & Bird (which we reviewed here).Windebank will develop the menu and bring a bigger focus on British comfort-food classics.
Putney Portuguese
A new Portuguese-inspired restaurant is due to open in Putney next month. Going by the name of Hide & Seed, it will take up residence in the Lodge Hotel and feature dishes combining British and Portuguese influences, such as 22-hour cooked pig's head with smoked pepper jam and crispy pig's ear, as well as cocktails influenced by the cuisine of the country.

After Monday's Uprising, Iranian Students Issue "Storm Warning"
After the unruly protest against Ahmadinejad on Monday, Tahkim Vahdat, the main student movement in Iran, is issuing a "storm warning" to the regime!
AKI Kronos and Iran News (picture above) are reporting that there's trouble brewing at home for Ahmadinejad and the mullahs:
"Whoever sows wind, will reap a tempest" ran the concluding line of a statement published in Tehran on Wednesday by the Tahkim Vahdat, the main student movement in Iran. Monday's incident, where hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was heckled by students at the controversial Holocaust denial conference, "shows that the universities are alive and do not intend to stay silent at the ruin of the country," Vahdat's leaders said.
Dozens of protesters burned pictures of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad crying 'dictator go away', 'death to dictatorship' and threw firecrackers on Monday forcing him to interrupt several times a speech he was giving at the Amir Kabir university in Tehran and leave before scheduled. A thousand students had also protested on Sunday at the university asking the president not to come the following day.
The students were protesting against "the shameful conference on the Holocaust which has brought to our country Nazis and racists from around the world and the fact that many activists with students' movements have not been allowed to attend university," said Mehdi Hatefi, an activist with Tahkim Vahdat on Monday.
It was the first time since his landslide victory in June 2005 that Ahmadinejad was challenged in public.
"The shouts of the students when they found themselves face to face with the head of the government wanted to underline the extension of repression here and the incapacity of this government for the benefit of the country, as well as rampant corruption and a disastrous economic situation that have characterised Iran for the 155 months of his rule," the Tahkim Vahdat statement read.
There are also reports that the student groups are now united against the regime and its oppressive policies.
Open Democracy reported:
On 6 December, despite the government's extraordinary crackdown, an extraordinary crowd of students participating in an event called "university is alive" broke down the gates of and demonstrated inside the main campus of Tehran University. One slogan chanted was "nothing to lose but our chains"; others called for the resignation of the education minister and sang "students, workers, unity, unity", "free political prisoners", "death to dictators", "we want bread, not bombs". There were many gatherings at other universities: Tehran's Amir Kabir, Mazandaran (Babolsar), Mashad, Tabriz (Sahand) and Hamedan.
The timing was significant: a day before the anniversary of 7 December 1953, which saw the shooting of three students by the Shah's soldiers after the coup backed by the US and Britain that toppled the democratically elected government of Mohammed Mossadegh. Since the 1979 revolution, students have marked this day across Iran.
In recent years, the Tahkim Vahdat has not been given permits for such gatherings; instead, a government-backed militant basij group has been granted permission to demonstrate in the same location in Tehran and on the same day, with well-known hardline figures as speakers. There are no reports of the basij rally taking place this year; the main student demonstration won the day.
It seems too that student groups, from pro-democracy Islamists to socialists, united in non-partisan slogans. They do not appear to have leading figureheads who can be silenced and imprisoned or exiled, or leaders who can betray them or lead them astray. It is the members of such groups, part of Iran's educated baby-boom generation, who will ultimately determine the country's future.

To prevent cavities, you must practice good oral and dental hygiene. The Mayo Clinic recommends brushing teeth at least twice per day, flossing, using mouth wash, visiting a dentist for regular checkups, drinking tap water and eating tooth-healthy foods.
- Brush your teeth
Using a quality fluoride toothpaste, brush your teeth at least two times per day. For the best cavity protection, brush your teeth multiple times each day, immediately after every meal.
- Floss your teeth
Floss every day to clean the areas between your teeth.
- Rinse your mouth
Use a mouth wash containing fluoride to keep your entire mouth as healthy as possible.
- See a dentist regularly
Get regular professional cleanings from your dentist, and consider fluoride treatments. Additionally, dentists can catch dental problems early before they become severe.
- Drink tap water
A majority of public water supplies contain fluoride, which helps to prevent cavities. Drinking only bottled water causes you to miss out on the benefits fluoride provides.
- Eat foods that promote healthy teeth
Consuming fresh vegetables and fruits helps increase saliva flow, which is beneficial for dental health. Additionally, drinking unsweetened tea or coffee and chewing sugar-free gum can help to wash away food particles attached to your teeth. Avoid eating chips, cookies or candy, as these foods break apart and can get stuck in the pits and grooves of teeth.

Trading binary options has a good deal of potential to help you take a big step forward in your financial life. In South Africa, binary options have become one of the fastest growing marketplaces, and having a firm grasp on what binary options are, and how to maximize their potential for yourself, is an important step when it comes to seeing what is helpful, and what is a waste of your time and money.
Binary Options robots are one of those areas where you can see a huge deal of success, or you can fall for a scam. Binary options trading South Africa, much like every other part of the world, does see its share of sites that are out there only to take your money away. Brokers are supposed to make money, but they should be providing you with a reputable service, and as such, they are regulated by governing bodies. Robots don't have the same strict regulations that they need to follow, so you will need to be a thorough advocate for yourself and your money in this area.
Some of the things you must know if you are using a binary options robot in South Africa.
How to Use a Robot
Trading robots are easy to use. That's why they are called robots—they do the bulk of the trading work for you, freeing you up to do other things with your time. They do involve a few steps to get yourself setup, but once you're done with this, the process is pretty simple. You need to create an account with the robot first. This involves funding your account through the robot. Once this occurs, you can start thinking about the finer details of how you want your trades to be executed. Most robots have a way for you to adjust the level of risk that you take on. This might be something that is done automatically for you simply by selecting "low risk" or "high risk," or some variance of this. In other cases, you might need to be more precise with what you wish to do. In these instances, you will need to define either the dollar/euro amount that you want to risk per trade (such as, $25), or you will need to define the percentage of your account that you wish to risk per trade (such as, 2 percent).
Depending on your level of expertise, any of these choices are perfectly fine. Just be sure that you are okay with the risk that the robot takes on for you. Even robots can lose money. Binary options can be very risky and it is possible to lose your money trading. Robots, when used correctly, should help decrease your overall risk, but there is no way to eliminate it altogether. For traders in South Africa, this is often a vital risk management tool.
If using a robot will help you, it's certainly something you should consider. The best robots have a cost involved; either as a one-time fee or as an ongoing subscription. If you are going to pay for the use of a robot, then you want to make sure that your investment and your assigned risk levels are offsetting that cost. Spending $1,000 a year on a robot is only worthwhile if you are more than making up for that expense in the extra profit that is being created.
The Brokers to Choose From
In South Africa, there are several strong brokers that are recommended for use. IQOption, and 24Option all have great reputations in this country. All of these are compatible with at least one highly ranked trading robot, as well. There are other brokers out there that you might benefit from using, but these listed sources are all highly reputable and sources that we trust.
All of these brokers also offer demo trading accounts, too. If you cannot find the demo section easily on the broker's page, get in touch with their customer service department and they can point you in the right direction. Demo trading doesn't help you at all with a trading robot, but it can give you a feel for what using the site is like and whether or not it's the right place for you. Whether you are using an IQ Option robot, or something else, demo trading is a good way to get your feet wet and help you gain some experience in the world of trading.
Also, it's worth mentioning that you will need to fund your robot trading account separately from your broker account. You can use many of the same methods for funding: Skrill, PayPal, a credit card, and so on. However, because the robot operates independently from the broker and because it is technically a separate account from your personal trading account, you would need to fund your robot separately. This is a small hindrance, but something that some people get tripped up on. Knowing about it ahead of time is always better.
Words of Warning
For the most part, trading robots are not heavily regulated in South Africa. In fact, that's how they are pretty much around the globe. This is normal because they are not actually a broker, but rather a service. It's important to spend some time studying your available choices, checking out what others who have used the robot say about it, and whether or not it fits in with your overall goals as a trader. This might take a few hours, but it will be time well spent. It will save you a lot of trouble down the road.
Not all binary options brokers South Africa are fully compatible with trading robots. If you have a certain service in mind that you want to use, go to their website and check the list of brokers that they are compatible with. Hopefully your broker is on that list. If not, you may need to spend some time looking for a new robot, or you might want to consider switching to a more helpful broker, depending on the levels of success that you are currently seeing.
Trading binary options in South Africa is fun, exciting, and holds a lot of potential when it comes to putting extra money in your pocket. Being prepared for the risk and the difficulties that comes with any type of trading is the best way to overcome them. The use of trading robots isn't for everyone, but it can be a helpful tool for you to start earning more money without spending as much time studying charts and timing positions.

Ricciardo: Red Bull needs 2018 title bid to keep me
Daniel Ricciardo says Red Bull will need to make a big step forward in 2018 if it is to convince him to stay when his current Formula 1 contract comes to an end.
The Australian is committed to Red Bull until the end of next season, and he is well aware that the next deal he signs will be an important one for him as he chases his maiden F1 championship.
Having been linked with both Mercedes and Ferrari longer term, Ricciardo will likely be a key target for several teams after next year – although he has suggested that his ideal scenario would be to win the title for his current employers.
In an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com during an event to help promote his Ricciardo Kart venture, this year's Baku winner said that a championship assault was all that mattered to him as he admitted some impatience to get hold of a car that could deliver it.
"I went through that impatient phase for sure, and I am still bordering that – because I don't want to leave F1 without a championship," said Ricciardo.
"At least right now, I still believe I can do that absolutely. I am looking for it – sooner rather than later.
"I thought we would be in with a really good shot this year, but it hasn't turned out like that. We have still managed to get podiums but we haven't realistically been in the championship hunt so it really needs to happen with Red Bull next year – at least from my point of view.
"I've been here for quite a few years now and I think next year we need to make a bigger step next year than we did this year, to really convince me that I can win with them.
"Do I want to win with them? Absolutely. I think that would complete the story as well. Seb [Vettel] got to complete it – he is the only guy. So my heart would love to. But we will see.
"I want an opportunity to be able to win week in and week out, while I believe I am still at the top."
Free agent
Ricciardo's availability for 2019 is believed to be one of the driving factors in both Mercedes and Ferrari not wanting to lock themselves into long term deals with their current drivers.
At Ferrari, Kimi Raikkonen is only on a one-year deal until the end of 2018, while Mercedes has only committed to Valtteri Bottas until the end of 2018.
Ricciardo said the option for him to move after 2018 was something new for him, as it would be the first time in his F1 career that he had a free choice of what to do – having had his career guided by Red Bull up until now.
"I think whatever I choose to do next, let's say I have got decisions to make once my Red Bull contract is up," he said.
"It is the first time in my professional career that I've been a free agent – it is something I've never really had before. I've been with Red Bull since the start and it has been awesome and all that.
"But it is up to them as well if they would want to continue, and then it is a decision where I think it will be best."
He added: "The next contract I sign, whether it is an extension or a new one, it is unlikely to be for just one year, it is probably three years. So that is a big part of the next step in my career.
"For sure it is something I will put a lot of thought in to. But at the end of the day, I want to be somewhere where I can have a good chance of success and winning, but it is an environment I want to enjoy as well.
"A big part of my success is that I have fun doing this sport. I feel like not everyone is having as much fun as they should, so that is important for me."

anyway, enough of the excuses and onto this weeks SCD piece....
This week, being the last Friday in June sees the last of the skinnis (3"x5") and it fell to Dawn to choose this weeks theme....and she chose
Here is my skinni:-
so, the base is white card! covered with patterned paper, now that doesn't happen very often! another matching paper strip was placed to one side and gingham ribbon top and bottom. The flower and butterfly were stamped onto metal, embossed and filled and then painted with inka gold - this stuff is truely gorgeous! I was introudced to it whilst on the artsycrafts weekend and just had to get some! lush! the little saying is a paperartsy stamp which was edged with inka gold and then the entire piece covered with sepia accents. The butterfly has a glass tail which you can just about see!
This theme is the last one that Dawn will be choosing - with a new job and longer hours and a new home she has decided to step down from the DT. I would like to Thank Dawn for her committment and support - she was the first person I told about my "SCD" idea and she offered her support from the start - Thank You xx
Do pop on over to the SCD blog and see what the other DT'ers have created - and hopefully you'll be able to join us.

I put very few decorations up this year - still had a real tree and decorated both mantels but other than that just a bit of this and that here and there and I liked my home all the better for it....not that the place is usually festooned with lights and doodads ......
My Pa is finding it difficult to get up and down from an armchair, and when some months ago, I saw one of those rising/recling motorised chairs in very good condition in a local charity furniture shop and told him about it, he was adamant that he didn't need one. Then on Christmas day he asked me to get him one 'if you come across one at all'.
My son and daughter in law invited us to their house for Christmas lunch, so in all there were 11 of us and they did a marvelous job.....it was really enjoyable to spend the day with loved ones and we were able to skype the 'American family' later in the day .. isn't technology wonderful.
A solid week of Christmas food and drink that includes all the treaty stuff you wouldn't normally eat and drink is enjoyable and I know how lucky I am to be able to have it, but I will be glad to get back to normality...and let's face it nobody is forcing me to eat box after box of baklava.
We have booked a weekend in Gothenburg in January...it doesn't matter what the city is like we will just do our touristy wandering about and thank sweet baby cheesus that we are able to step off the hamster wheel once a month.
This post is more 'listy' than I intended it to be .... but so what...'tis my post.
I have learnt a lot from blogging and virtually 'meeting' people..you live you learn.
The world keeps turning.My Ma is a very different lady at the moment......now she is sometimes not the angry bitter person that she usually is ... she seems less ggrrr and more sanguine....which is great and we are all happy about it ... but sometimes it does feel a little odd....sort of like waiting for the other shoe to drop.
This year we are hoping to build an extension and a new kitchen..this is very exciting for me and very boring for you to know but then I acknowledge that I am a middle aged suburban lady with an ordinary life ... and that is ok by me.
Both of my children are working and happy and have partners in their lives.
Fargo was brilliant. The Bridge was brilliant.
I would like to read more this year.
The new year is approaching and this time I will not be afeared of it.....although it does make me feel a little scared to write that down.
I didn't go to Church this Christmas...but I say my prayers each night.

As I have mentioned in past blog posts, the U.S. bioscience industry has demonstrated stability through turbulent economic times. While not immune from the recession, this industry generally fared much better than the overall economy and has remained a net a job generator.
In April of 2012, the White House released the National Bioeconomy Blueprint noting that bioscience industries are "a large and rapidly growing segment of the world economy that provides substantial public benefit."
So it's not surprising that California, the birthplace of biotech, continues to lead the country (and world for that matter) in life sciences. Twenty-one percent of the nation's current biomedical R&D pipeline comes from California laboratories. Furthermore, the state remains the nation's leading source of biomedical companies, jobs and new treatments for patients.
Though, California faces the same challenges at those who hope to usurp its position – namely, the struggle to generate capital to fund innovation research — whether it's finding a cure for cancer, protecting us against bio-terror threats, or creating renewable energy and renewable chemicals.
Unfortunately, one of the lingering after effects of the 2008 financial crisis is a heightened risk aversion among venture investors and the limited partners who have been a main source of biotech industry funding.
Just today, a report on California's biomedical industry was presented to a gathering of industry executives in San Francisco. Supported by two of BIO's allied state organizations, California Healthcare Institute and BayBio, the report identifies several realities that affect the entire industry.
The 2013 California Biomedical Industry Report includes findings from a survey of 175 biomedical company CEOs, who report significant improvements in the FDA regulatory process over the past year and a notable reduction in project delays due to regulatory issues. Despite this progress, biomedical companies say that lack of adequate funding, government pricing intervention and the FDA regulatory environment represent the biggest risks to future success in biomedical innovation.

Chances are what some people think is a growing chick is actually the tiny strands that hold the yolk in place in the center of the egg. These strands are white and break when the egg is cracked. They snap back next to the yolk and could look like a tiny growing chick.
Blood spots in eggs are also natural and are not a growing chick.
There are actual reasons why the chances of finding a chick in an egg from the grocery store are zero. In fact the ONLY way this would happen in grocery store eggs is if somebody intentionally took a fertilized egg and stuck it in with the other eggs as a prank.
In the egg industry chicks are sexed at the age of one day, females have their beaks cut, wings cut, get vaccinated, and get sent off to grow up. Male chicks are mostly put into a meat grinder. As such there are no males with the hens that will be laying eggs. Mature hens lay eggs daily even without a male present. With no rooster around the eggs are not fertile and cannot grow chicks.
Further more the eggs roll away from the hen instantly and are chilled; as such even if a rooster had been with the hen the egg would never be incubated (warmed) enough for a chick to grow inside. Before they are put into their cartons, they are screened and any egg with an anomaly is removed, so even if there was a chance of an unhatched chick being in an egg, the screening process would have those eggs culled.
On rare occasion when people claim they find an actual chick in the egg it is usually a prank or a major mistake with "farm fresh" eggs; if somebody was very sloppy in collecting the eggs and took one that had been incubated for at least 10 days.

Remember, to buy eggs from happy hens, always pick those sold at the farmer's market where the hens are cage free.


text: Modify's E-Commerce Update Posted, March 22, 2013 Big news ModiFamily, do you know where Modify was spotted online yesterday? We will give you three guesses of where you can pick-up your next mod fix (and no cheating on Facebook). Okay, time's up. Modify Watches are now available on Amazon.com! Schweeeeet! This means you can now find our dope, interchangeable, water proof watches through one of the largest online retailers in the world. Click on over to check out Modify on Amazon.com. And while you're there, it would be MUCH appreciated if you left a quick review. Amazon is known as an early leader of the online retail space, creating a platform that made online shopping more convenient. You can buy everything from clothes and shoes to groceries… and now Modify Watches. The bare necessities of life, right there on Amazon. Or should that list include food, water, shelter, and oxygen? I am sure mods are on there somewhere. Anyway, we are excited that Modify Watches are now available online through Amazon, in addition to direct on our own website. In fact, Survey Monkey's Vice President, Brent Chudoba, recently blogged about both Amazon and Modify as being examples of innovative online retail models. Here is the excerpt from Survey Monkey's with their comments on our Mod-of-the Month Club: [Companies that deal with physical goods and materials have] turned what was previously a frustrating retail-shopping experience into a hassle-free (and even fun) online shopping experience. Amazon was the pioneer in this category. They proved to the consumer that purchasing items from clothing and personal accessories to home appliances and entertainment can all be done online and much more efficiently than purchasing within a brick and mortar space. Although this trend isn't a new one, its full potential is still yet to be realized. When you look at a company like Modify Watches and see how they were able to create a subscription service for a new watch every two to three months, it proves just how powerful e-commerce and subscription models can be when they join forces. It's changing the way that businesses evolve and in how they are addressing consumer needs.

Brief Synopsis
View the Executive Summary
In the 21st century, the transatlantic bargain that has framed the relationship between the United Statates and its NATO allies is under more scrutiny than ever before. In a changed geopolitical environment, one characterized by the complexity of modern military operations, the growing power of China, and a climate of economic austerity in the West, a consensus has emerged on both sides of the Atlantic as to the need for a revised bargain to accommodate the changing dynamics of global politics. Washington is becoming less and less willing to tolerate what it sees as fundamental gaps within the Alliance—in defense spending, capabilities, and military transformation—and is sending clear signals to its European allies, as well as NATO partners, that they must take on a greater share of Alliance burdens, accelerate efforts to generate capabilities and resources, and move away from a deeply-entrenched culture of dependency. European allies are learning they must approach transatlantic relations with a new maturity, and as efforts at multinational defense collaboration accelerate across Europe, there is evidence of a new approach to thinking about transatlantic relations. The transatlantic bargain was a Cold War construct suited to its time; what is required now is a transatlantic bargain that generates a new culture of transatlantic partnership, between the United States, NATO, and the European Union.

Sebi boost for investors
Markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India on Thursday introduced a slew of measures to regulate financial and capital markets and increase investor participation. HT reports. Regulator rewrites market rulesbusiness Updated: Aug 17, 2012 07:38 IST
Markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Thursday introduced a slew of measures to regulate financial and capital markets and increase investor participation.
The regulator proposed an e-IPO system among other reforms that it hopes will galvanise the mutual fund industry.
SEBI chairman UK Sinha said: "The board discussed and approved some far-reaching reforms that include steps for expanding the reach of IPOs and MFs across the country."
SEBI said in a statement: "To widen the distribution network of IPOs, in addition to existing channels, the nationwide broker network of stock exchanges will be made available for distributing IPOs in electronic form.
Investors can approach any broker in these locations for applying in IPOs, either physically or electronically."
There is good news for promoters as well: Sebi has opened up two more avenues for company promoters to dilute shares to increase public holdings to a minimum 25% - bonus shares and rights issue.
Sebi also hinted that further leeway could be provided on a case-to-case basis.
The regulator has raised the minimum retail application from the present Rs. 5,000-Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 10,000-Rs. 15,000 in a bid to ensure that every retail applicant gets a minimum allocation of shares.However, on the flipside, this will effectively limit the number of investors.

text: MISHAWAKA -- Gwynyth Gates is a preschool veteran. The 3-year-old Granger girl, visiting her new preschool at Covenant Christian School Thursday morning and entering her second year of preschool, was quick to pipe up with things she likes about going to school. "I learn about jewelry," Gwynyth said, thrusting her bracelet-adorned arms and ring-bearing fingers out to her mom, Angie Gates. Dressed in a mermaid costume and wearing a tiara, Gwynyth already was participating in the learning-through-play philosophy that fills the classroom. "We're so excited," Gates said. "She's jumping right into it." The two were at the school's open house. Classes start Tuesday. The private, Christian school at the corner of Fir and Day roads offered preschool until about a decade ago, because the school ran out of space. The school kicked off a fundraising campaign earlier this year to expand the school building. No space has been added to the building yet, but a nearby church offered use of more rooms in the school, making it possible for school officials to rearrange classes within the main building. That freed up enough space to bring back preschool.

A touch-stone of the DWP and recent governments (local as well as national) is the concept of "digital by default". All that paper, all those trees saved! And near-enough instantaneous communication too.
But, for whose benefit? Certainly not the now-privatised Post Office delivery services! But, private enterprise, being now-privatised, sink or swim!
Along with this "digital by default" and in this more so-called modern communication age, the equally so-called "benefits" of on-line communication. Skype, instant messaging, emails. You name them, and others. All of which, of course (or is it?), enabling ongoing and "real-time" communication.
What has not been addressed, however, and is carefully avoided is the extent to which this unfettered idolatry of the digital age has brought about an increase in social isolation.
Pardon? Better communication has brought about an increase in social isolation? That doesn't follow, does it?
Think about it. Over recent decades and, generally, as a direct result of industrialisation, nuclear families (as they used to be called), like nuclear physics, have been torn apart, split asunder, and examined closely in terms of the individual and, as portrayed, individual and separable parts. But, backing up a little, are they genuinely and honestly individual or separable? Could the individual atom and, theoretically at least, its separable component parts, exist in isolation? Welcome to the atom/hydrogen bomb! Not at all! It explodes and causes wide-ranging and life-long lasting damage.
And so it is with the foundation, the bedrock, of families. Nuclear families were those now anachronistic entities when "family" looked after family: generations within hailing distance of one another (often under the same roof) and looking out for one another. And then the concept of "on yer bike!" No work? Get mobile, move, and go to where the work is. The appropriate word for the one-time family unit is 'fragmented'. These days, perhaps 'dysfunctional' is more appropriate.
Overall, and governmentally-ignored (knowingly governmentally-avoided?), "digital by default" has resulted in an increase in real-time isolation and more real-time, everyday loneliness than ever did industrialisation. A slow-motion explosion of family, cultural and identity cohesion.
"Digital-by-default"? To up-date the one-time film theme tune, "Hello, loneliness, my old friend!" Oh, how the words of that song have so very, very much to say about and against our so-called "modern" society, and those who run it!

Birth Certificate Records Are Public Records
Birth certificate records are the official government public records and documentation of birth printed on security paper. In order for a birth certificate to be official, it must have the embossed seal. There may be a copy provided after birth at the hospital, but it is different in that it could also have the footprints of the baby, but it is in no way a valid document for legal purposes.
Official Birth Certificate Records
Official birth certificates and other vital records can be received only from where they were filed originally. If the birth certificate is needed for official business, then you will need to obtain the certified or official birth certificate, which includes the raised seal.
Information Available from Official Birth Certificate Records:
- Full Name (first, last, and middle)
- Age
- Sex
- Race
- Date and birthplace
- Names of parents, ages, and birthplaces
- Physician or midwife name and address
Online Birth Certificate Records
Should you want to receive a birth certificate online, Vital Check is an option and is an official source. Many government agencies exclusively put their trust in Vital Check for vital record and birth certificate orders. Secure online ordering is provided and there is quick turnaround. When a birth certificate is ordered online, you should be aware that some states offer shorter versions that may not be accepted for some purposes. To avoid this, be sure to order only the full and certified version with the raised seal, signature of the registrar, as well the date of filing in the office of the registrar. At the time that your birth certificate order is completed, it is sent electronically for processing to the government agency. However the document is obtained, it is always important to keep it secure because of the sensitive and personal information included.
If you only need to reference birth records and verify information then an online public records repository is a good solution. You can procure birth records from the convenience of your home and it only takes a couple minutes. SearchQuarry.com offers a 5 day free trial where you can lookup unlimited birth records without obligation. Start your Birth Records Search now.
Information Available from Online Birth Certificate Records:
- Full Name (first, last, and middle)
- Age
- Sex
- Race
- Date and birthplace
- birthplace
Why Obtain Birth Certificate Records?
Here are a few reasons why a birth certificate record might be needed; passports, school registration, driver's license, youth sports, employment, marriage, and identity verification. If you need a certified copy of your birth certificate, one can be ordered through the state of birth at the Vital Records office or county clerk's office. Sometimes a third party might handle the process.

thereby pointed to problems had inherently subversive potential. Although Soviet cinema never regained the world-wide prestige it had enjoyed in the late 1920s, films once again became worth watching and a positive contribution to cultural life.
Kenez, Peter ( 1992), Cinema and Soviet Society, 1917-1953.
Leyda, Jay ( 1960), Kino: A History of Russian and Soviet Film.
Stites, Richard ( 1992), Soviet Popular Culture: Entertainment and Society in Russia since 1900.
India is one of the largest and most culturally varied countries in the world. It is second only to China in population, and second only to the United States in the scale and importance of its film industry. Indian films are popular not only in India itself, but in large parts of Asia and Africa and in many other countries where there are communities of Indian descent. The roots of a distinctive Indian cinema stretch back a long way and encompass a variety of cultural traditions. While Bombay was, and is, the main centre of Indian film production, film industries grew up early in the century throughout the subcontinent -- in Calcutta, Madras, Lahore, and other major centres -- basing their activity on theatrical and artistic modes which combined western and indigenous models. Out of this fusion sprang a number of genres such as the 'mythological' (based on Hindu myths and legends) which are unique to India.
Bombay and the Parsee theatre
History in India, as the historian D. D. Kosambi liked to show, often expresses itself geographically. In Bombay, even today, an arc in the heart of the city swings from the textile mills of Parel and Lalbaug to the famous dockyards adjoining Reay Road, the giant seconds market Chor Bazaar, the red-light area of Falkland Road, and towards the industrial wholesale trade up to Lohar Chawl and Crawford Market. This area, not over 10 square miles, saw the rise of the first (and then the richest) industrial working class in India, and was the base of the country's colonial economy on the west coast. It was also the place where the Indian film industry was born. The Kohinoor Film Company in Dadar, the Ranjit Movietone in Parel, and the Imperial Film Company adjoining today's Nana Chowk, the three largest studios India ever saw, flourished by the late 1920s within a few miles of each other.
The country's trader-capitalists, the kind who invested in the nascent entertainment industries of theatre and then film, emerged as a powerful economic class mainly through coastal trading with the west, Middle East, and China. Many of the first shipping enterprises of Surat and Bombay were set up by Parsees, later the founders of the nationally famed genre of the Parsee theatre.
The Parsee theatre, often considered the direct ancestor to the song-dance-action stereotype of the Hindi cinema, established itself as an industry when Sir Jamsedjee Jeejeebhoy bought the Bombay Theatre in 1835. Jeejeebhoy was one of India's biggest trader-industrialists, with a flourishing export business with China and Europe in silk, yarn, cotton, and handicrafts, and later the founder of the influential art academy, the J.J. School ( 1857), while the Bombay Theatre had begun in 1776, built as a straight copy of London's Drury Lane theatre and known, until then, mainly for performances of plays like Sheridan's School for Scandal and for its colonial British clientele. The combination established both a genre and an industry: the Bombay Theatre was followed by the even more famous Grant Road Theatre ( 1846), adapting local themes to the Elizabethan stage idiom. The romance drama, the 'mythological', the 'historical', and the adventure saga taken from popular Indian legendary tales such as Firdausi's tenth-century Shah Nama were accompanied by the first big adaptations of Shakespeare into Gujarati and Urdu. The music they used was inspired by the opera to transform the popular 'light-classical' north Indian musical, and thus to invent one of the ancestors of the early Hindi film song.
In Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, and Lahore, but also in other cities, this brand of theatre was exhibited in a series of theatre palaces, usually ringed around the 'native' parts of town, in such a way as to be available to its richer clientele but also to keep its cultural distance from them. In Bombay the Edward, the oldest surviving theatre in India, was built in 1860, and was followed by the Empire, the Gaiety (now Capitol), and the Royal Opera House.
In its earliest days film exhibition was restricted to travelling tent theatres using the Edison and after 1907 the Pathé projection systems. From 1910, however, the first cinemas began to be built while the famous theatre

We're starting to think Lauren Goodger might have an invisible friend.
The selfie-obsessed star just cannot stop looking down at her left-hand side.
Here at 3AM, we've analysed her Instagram account, and can confirm she has had the bizarre habit of looking away from the camera while she takes her selfies ever since she left TOWIE.
And with the amount of selfies she's taken in that period, we've decided she must have a very sore neck.
We guessing she's either got a invisible friend, a bad camera timer, or thinks it's a great pose.
While we figure out the exact reason, here's some pictures of her doing it for you to look at.

Xavier Aliaga, Dos metres quadrats de sang jove (Barcelona: Alrevès, 2014). 187 pages.
It is rather regrettable that the name of my home town has become synonymous with insufferable levels of political corruption. Valencia is the setting for this short crime nouvelle by Xavier Aliaga. The protagonist is detective Feliu Oyono, a Catalan-speaking policeman of African ancestry, who is quite obsessed with sex and the female body.
I may be picking at straws here, but one of Chandler's commandments for writing good crime fiction says that the novel needs to be "realistic in character, setting and atmosphere", and should deal with "real people in a real world". Far be it from me to rule out the possibility that a black Valencian-born policeman exists. Anyone would most likely agree with me that such a fictitious character is less than likely to speak and write the local language the way Oyono does, though.
Against a background of dirty play and internecine wars within the ultraconservative political party in government – the PP is never mentioned, but the references are obvious – Oyono and his assistant Amalia Vigarany must find out who killed a young idealist journo called Manel.
Manel is (was) one of the founders of a web-based investigative newspaper, La ciutat digital. Their reports denouncing the ever-present corruption networks and the misappropriation of public funds (in this sense, Aliaga cannot be accused of making up too much!) have already earned them the wrath of ruling politicians and senior bureaucrats. One night while he's alone at the newspaper offices someone whose face is covered with a balaclava breaks in and slashes his throat in one swift, highly 'professional' cut. Manel's colleagues are naturally quite devastated.
Feliu Oyono and Amalia interrogate the journalists but find nothing much – they all seem to get along quite well. Yet setting up a newspaper from scratch is neither easy nor cheap, so they decide direct their detective skills towards the source of the funding that has made La ciutat digital possible. What they find is that Enric, co-founder and rival to Manel for the sexual favours of the only female reporter, has been receiving monies from an obscure company based in Buenos Aires. What is really going on?
It appears that Manel and Enric were not on such amicable terms anymore when the former was murdered while typing on his keyboard and bled to death, leaving two square metres of young blood on the office floor. Oyono and Amalia turn the screws on him but it all seems to be a red herring: they might not like each other that much, but that should be no reason to murder your former friend and colleague. Or should it?
In the end, the reason Manel was savagely murdered happens to be quite unrelated to the murky financing he had been arguing about with the co-founder of the newspaper. The plot meanders rather aimlessly: Aliaga throws in the story of Amalia's affair with a radical Basque youth while she was serving in Navarre. Its inclusion seems rather unwarranted, and given how short Dos metres quadrats de sang jove actually is, the reader may wonder about its purpose.
The novella's structure is developed mostly by means of monologues. At times this works, but other times replacing dialogue with dramatic monologues feels too artificial. The inclusion of blog posts written by Manel before his death and later released as they had been programmed by the deceased journalist adds some spice. But Aliaga is at his best when he lets the characters speak. His dialogues can be witty, lively, full of force and irony:
- Listen very carefully, you son of a bitch! Why should we believe an impostor? 'Oooh! We're a persecuted media! Manel has paid with his life for the work we do unveiling corruption! Me! Me! Me! It could have been me! Why haven't they come after me? I cannot sleep thinking about all this!'… Do you think we're stupid?
- I… I haven't said that… What I believe is that you're going the wrong way about this. Neither Alberola nor anyone around him knew that Manel had found out about the scam. I hid that information, I wasn't interested, please believe me, I was certain Manel would let it go to the keeper… The thing with his blog has taken us by surprise.
- And how can you be so sure Albarola didn't know?
- He would've told me. Like all politicians, he's a bit paranoid.
- And now you'll tell me, you piece of shit, that you've had no contact with him since Manel's death, that you've told him it's over.
- No, I'll tell you the truth, we spoke at length. Alberola was amazed, he was shocked. And very worried, too. He said that maybe we had lost our grip on things, that some of his rivals hadn't taken in the issue too well. I think he was being truthful. He's a very ambitious pollie, he'll go to any lengths to crush those who bother him, but I don't think he's capable of such an atrocity, to be honest.
- And how did he intend to handle the situation?
- He asked not to meet with us again for a long while and to fuel the conspiracy theory from La Ciutat. To do that for a few months and wait until the storm cleared up… But it will not clear up… And I can't take this anymore, I'm on edge…
- You're lucky we're not at the station, 'cause I'd give you another kind of edge over there. You know what I think, arsehole? That you told everything to your friend the minister in order to protect your grubby deal. In the best of cases, you washed your hands of it, you played dumb, 'whatever will be, will be', you thought. And I also think you had another reason not to be concerned about what might happen to Manel: you have never been able to swallow the fact that Empar preferred him, that she was still in love with a man without your physique, without your charisma, but with so big a brain and so big a heart that the office was not big enough for him. An honest, upright person. The opposite of you, you piece of shit, you filthy sewer rat. Know that we'll go all the way, you're up to your neck in shit, you retard…
- That's enough, Amalia.
- Did you get it, you bastard? We'll get you!
- For fuck's sake, Amalia! That's enough, I said! (p. 139-141, my translation)
Had Aliaga worked further with the manuscript (which incidentally contains some typos in the few Spanish passages it includes) Dos metres quadrats… would have probably increased its length and its literary attractiveness. As it stands, it is a rather lame specimen of crime fiction, its shortcomings outnumbering its virtues.

Apple has developed new technology to censor swear words
Apple has reportedly developed new technology that will censor swear words in songs automatically.
The new technology was patented in September of 2014, and is called: 'Management, Replacement and Removal of Explicit Lyrics during Audio Playback.'
This technology could potentially scan songs automatically for explicit content and edit the lyrics. By replacing swear words with other words, deleting them from tracks altogether, or bleeping them out. It would mean that the entire content on your iPod or any other Apple device could be censored.
Another possible method would be to generate background music so that the track continues seamlessly without any interruption. They may also use the new censoring software for audiobooks, to edit out inappropriate scenes as well as curse words.

AMERICAN FORK — A Spanish Fork man was airlifted to a local hospital after falling 40 feet and suffering injuries in American Fork Canyon.
Sean Cox, 40, was showing a group of Boy Scouts rock climbing techniques near the Grey Cliffs area, located about a mile past Timpanogos Cave, when his belay line failed to catch when he slipped.
"He slipped and the device was not locked and so he fell," Sgt. Eldon Packer of the Utah County Sheriff's office said. "The individual helping him actually received burns to his hand trying to arrest his fall as he came down, but as he came down he actually struck his head on the wall."
Cox was wearing a helmet, Packer said, crediting it for preventing further injury. His condition was not immediately known.
The fall is the second of a hiker in two days.
Saturday a rock climber died after falling 70 feet while climbing at Stewart Falls in Provo Canyon. Packer said rock climbing is a dangerous sport where things like this happen.
"It's something you need to pay constant attention to and make sure everything is in good working order," Packer said. If they climb for a while, eventually they're going to slip."

Durango in August
|The view from our bedroom balcony
Thursday morning, we said goodbye to Grandpoo (who was in town for 24 hrs for business and we loved seeing him!!!) and right after Aaron's lacrosse camp, we loaded up the trailer and headed down towards the activities for the weekend. I must say that I was pretty anxious driving that thing with its BAD brakes through the rain and the mountains... and the WIND! However, we made our way slowly but surely. Despite how I felt, my hands did not have to be surgically removed from gripping the steering wheel and my shoulders were able to relax only a few minutes after our arrival.
Everyone converged that night, and Friday morning (bright and early) the fun began. The brothers, Dad, and Aaron went golfing at Glacier Club, while I went jogging in the beautiful mountains. The boys came home after 9 holes and then went out riding. I made Nate go with them. Meanwhile, Michelle and I took Sydney and Charity to the store. By the time we got back, Jeff, Joe, Nate and Aaron were pulling in from their ride - cut short by hail and rain and cold (Grandpa, Trish, and Dan braved the weather and continued riding). We put the shivering boys in the hot tub and moved on to playing games and dinner.
Saturday, I had to take my car in to fix the brakes. Joe and I took it into town and on our way home, on the radio, I heard info about the county fair and the demolition derby going on in town! So, when the big boys headed out to their morning 4-wheeling excursion, I took the kids and Michelle joined me with Syd at the fair. Honestly, I have never been to a demolition derby and I must say it was one of the most interesting and entertaining events I have been to for a long time! I laughed so hard! I couldn't fathom why someone would invest time, money and their body in an event like that. It was amazing how these cars would still propel themselves after smashing up their engines and losing tires and getting stuck in the mud!
After the derby, we took the kids to see the 4-h animals and eat carnival food and then Michelle took Sydney to the store and I took my kids on the carnival rides. They all wanted to go on the crazy upside down ride. Even though Nate was tall enough, the guy was hesitant to let him on at first, so I sent Charity and Aaron to check it out while I took Nate to the "fun house". It was NOT cool enough, so after some begging, I got the carny to let Nate go with Aaron and Charity on the ride. Charity and Nate came off elated and LOVED the crazy ride, but after 2 times in a row on that thing, Aaron came off a bit green. He was miserable! So, we headed home and on the way had to pull over a few times to give him a break and a chance to retch outside the car. We came home and I finished a few books while waiting for the boys to finish their activities. Then Joe, Jeff, Michelle, Dan and I went to Purgatory to play Frisbee golf and eat dinner as adults while grandma and grandpa stayed with the kids.
|stopped at the spring while waiting for Aaron to finish dry heaving on the side of the road...
|joe always finds the mud.

SHARE if you're excited for the new season of the show!
1. Laura Prepon auditioned to play Piper! According to the showrunner, Laura was just too tough for Piper.
We're good with Laura playing Alex!
2. The (very long) title sequence actually features pictures of real former inmates, including Piper Kerman! Piper wrote the book that the TV show is based on.
3. Taryn Manning (Pennsatucky) told a magazine that the cast has to wear "court-ordered granny panties" and bras that give them "uniboob." Anything to help the cast get into character!
4. Laura's character from That '70s Show predicted Alex's fate on Orange is the New Black. Donna says, "I could get arrested. I could go to a girl prison."
5. The first scene that Laura and Taylor Schilling shot was the kissing shower scene. Laura said that the natural chemistry between them was obvious that Taylor said, "Thank God it's with you!"
The two have been best friends ever since!
6. Suzanne is everyone's favorite character! But originally, she was supposed to only be on the show for three episodes. After the episodes were filmed, the writers and producers fought for her to stay on the show!
"I threw my pie for you" is probably the best quote from Suzanne. You just can't beat it!
7. With orange in the title, it makes sense in a weird way that one of the filming locations is on Orangeburg Road in Orangeburg, Orangetown.
It's a real place in New York, apparently!
8. Pay attention the next time there's a scene where Piper's on the phone. The same crying inmate is always at the other phone!
9. Red shares the same nickname as Morgan's Freeman's character in The Shawshank Redemption. Both characters smuggled drugs into the prison!
10. The scar that Nicky has is from open-heart surgery after getting an infection related to her drug use. It's a real scar that Natasha Lyonne got for the same reason!
11. Laverne Cox's twin brother appears in a flashback as Sophia before her gender transition.
12. If Yoga Jones' voice sounds familiar, it's because the actress voiced Patti Mayonnaise on Doug! Remember Patti? She was the secret love interest of Doug!
13. The title of each episode is always mentioned in the episode. Who can forget the crazy season 3 finale?! This is by far the best reference to an episode title.
Piper finally grew up and got tough!
14. The show premiered on the same day that the book The Fault In Our Stars was released. The writers and producers are huge fans of the book and even included it in the show!
15. There's a reference to American Pie in the pilot! Jason Bigg's character mentions two past events involving a webcam and a shaving incident. Those incidents happened to his character in the American Pie movies!
COMMENT and tell us which character is your favorite from OITNB!

R.I.P Simon Hobart
I was sadden to hear about the death of Simon Hobart on Sunday morning. I'm unsure as to how it happened, but I'm sure we'll be informed in the next few days.
In case you don't know Simon was the promoter of Popstarz, London's premier gay indie night. He started the night just over 10 years ago and has graced many different venues. It was the first openly gay-friendly club in the UK, which didn't play cheesey trance euro pop.
I've been going to Popstarz for over a year now and have always seen Simon about. For those who knew him well, he will be missed.
At the Scala?
Oh right
I'll probably hear something about this at work there tonight.
What'll be interesting is...
...if Popstarz goes ahead this Friday. Simon started the club and has been an excellent promoter. However I think some immense criticism will come in if they don't have a Popstarz this week as a mark of respect, when they still carried on one day after the London bombings, with bodies practically beneath them.

Mitchell happy, healthy and excited for first Cup Finalby Curtis Zupke
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The veteran players with extensive experience are a driving force behind the Los Angeles Kings.
Justin Williams, Rob Scuderi, Dustin Penner and Colin Fraser have won the Stanley Cup with other teams. Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene have played in the Final. All were brought back to that special feeling of going to the Final when the Kings clinched a berth with their 4-3 overtime win against the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday.
In the middle of the celebration was an emotional Willie Mitchell, a quietly integral part of the Kings who, as the team's oldest player at age 35, will play in the Final for the first time in his 12-season career.
"It's been a long time coming," Mitchell said. "It's what you work for as a player and a teammate. I was fortunate enough to be out on the ice when big [Dustin Penner] scored [in overtime]. Some guys were jumping and I was just sitting there [thinking], 'Is this happening?' I feel fortunate to get this chance and get the opportunity to play for the Stanley Cup for real."
Mitchell is appreciative particularly because of his career arc the past two years. He had a concussion following a hit by Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin in January 2010 while playing for the Vancouver Canucks and missed the rest of that season. He was seen as damaged goods by most teams and remained a free agent until the Kings signed him to a two-year deal Aug. 25, 2010.
No guaranteesBy Dan Rosen - NHL.com Senior Writer
Facing the same predicament as in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals against the Devils, there are no echoes of Mark Messier's famous guarantee coming from the New York room this time. READ MORE ›
Mitchell easily could have tested free agency this summer but he opted to sign a two-year, $7 million extension Feb. 24, although the Kings still were a borderline playoff team. Both signings look like the smartest decisions he's made since that concussion.
"As a kid you play how many ... hockey games playing for [the Stanley Cup]?" Mitchell said. "Now [we're] going to be one of two teams to do it for the real deal. I'm really looking forward to it and I'm really just going to enjoy it, especially [because] I had a little time there where I didn't know if hockey was going to continue for that matter.
"I think at this time of year, after going through that, too, it makes me enjoy it that much more."
While Penner, Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty and Richards made the highlights with goals in Game 5, Mitchell played a game-high 34:56, including 7:51 while the Kings were shorthanded.
Coach Darryl Sutter uses Mitchell on both special-teams units this season. His participation on the second power-play unit is a new wrinkle in the role the shut-down defenseman has had for most of his career.
Sutter, who is as stingy with praise as his team is allowing shots, said of Mitchell that it's "good to see those guys that don't get recognition. That's their reward in it all."
The closest Mitchell had come to the Final is in 2003 with the Minnesota Wild, which fell to the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference Finals.
Mitchell said this appearance also is unique because L.A. has a chance to make history, having made the Final only one other time, losing to the Montreal Canadiens in five games in 1993.
"It's nice to be a part of it when it hasn't happened in a long time here," he said. "You could see the development and the growth in the organization in the last few years, being in the playoffs and this year taking another step. We're getting to that next level, but the ultimate would be obviously to bring a championship here. That motivates the guys.
"Obviously there's a lot of personal motivation because that's why we play this game, is for a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup and win it. Obviously to do it in a city that hasn't done that would be really special … they're itching for it, here."

I love small ceremonies for their intimate and relaxed vibe. No 300 guests to meet. No demanding relatives pulling you this way and that. Just simple focus on what's important. You two getting married.
After the ceremony we explored Perth city and got some great shots of them on the way.

I am so excited for halloween, I've already put little ghosts in my front yard, and I've been browsing all the halloween racks at every store I go to. (Favorite holiday, afterall.) All I want to do all day is bake pumpkin flavored snacks and make halloween crafts. But really all my time is consumed with school and my 9 hour a day schedules. I'm working on a quilt, and lots of silk clothing, so at least it's exciting. Contemplating opening up a store for handmade jewelry and prints, why not add a little more to my plate.
It's simple, it's for errands, but it's still more interesting than a t-shirt and feels a heck of a lot better. I dyed a bunch of silk blouses and will hopefully be listing them within the week.

There is nothing other than your name you really have to share, it's more a learning tool.
However, I would caution people about it because a lot of the information could potentially cause people problems. Like their claim that normal blood sugar can be between 130 and 180 all the time and that I should be eating well over 300g of carb a day. Do the learning modules but don't take any of the information as gospel and right for you without checking the accuracy of it elsewhere.
