College of Science Postgraduate Seminar Series - Spring 2014 17th June 2014 - 1pm - Zoology Museum (Wallace)
Speaker 1
Laurence Dyke
(PhD student, Swansea University, UK)
Laurence is a PhD student as a part of the Glaciology Group, interested in reconstructions of past glacial extent and behaviour, primarily from the late Quaternary. Supervised by Tavi Murray, John Hiemstra and Anna Hughes (Bergen), he came to Swansea in 2005 to study for a BSc in Geography, a field trip to the Austrian mountains kindled a passion for glaciers and he returned in 2010 to start a PhD researching the glacial history of southeast Greenland.
The Greenland ice sheet contains enough freshwater to raise global sea-level by around 7 metres. Recent observations of rapid changes in the marine-terminating sectors of the ice sheet have prompted concerns about its future stability. Long-term records of ice sheet behaviour are required to assess the magnitude of current change and may help resolve the mechanisms driving deglaciation.
We use cosmogenic isotope exposure dating to reconstruct the timing of deglaciation in southeast Greenland. We develop retreat chronologies for two large fjord systems and compare them with existing work from the centre of the sector to examine the timing and style of deglaciation at a regional-scale.
Deglaciation occurred at Kangerdlugssuaq Fjord at 11.8 ka at the end of the Younger Dryas (12.8-11.6 ka). Retreat coincides with incursion of the warm Irminger Current onto the continental shelf; this is inferred to have initiated retreat. Deglaciation occurred around 1 ka later in the south of the sector at Sermilik and Bernstorffs Fjords; retreat here was driven by dramatic climatic amelioration at the termination of the Younger Dryas stadial.
We suggest the disparate timing of deglaciation across the SE region may be explained primarily by the varying influence of the warm Irminger Current; glaciers in southern SE Greenland were isolated from warm Atlantic waters during the Younger Dryas by complex shelf bathymetry. Once initiated retreat was rapid and persistent in all fjord systems.

The Early life at sea of juveniles albatrosses and petrels
Sophie De Grissac
(PhD student, Chizé Centre for Biological Studies)
Sophie graduated in Marine Ecology (2009) after a 6 month internship with the CEBC Chizé (Centre d'Etude Biologiques de Chizé) were she worked on the impact of wind pattern changes on wandering albatrosses foraging ecology. Between 2010 and 2013 she was a field worker for the CEBC Chizé "Marine top predators" team and for the French Subantarctic Islands Natural Reserve.
In September 2013, Sophie started a PhD entitled "At sea ecology of albatross juveniles" as part of the ERC granted Early Life program lead by Henri Weimerskich at Centre d'Etudes Biologiques de Chizé.
Sophie proposes to talk in two parts. 1) A rapid presentation of the ERC Early Life project leaded by Henri Weimerskirch and 2) A presentation of the first part of my PhD (within Early Life), first results and perspectives.
In long lived species, juveniles and immatures, represent up to 50% of the total population. Therefore, in order to understand the dynamics of those populations, it is essential to better understand their foraging ecology that remains, until recently, poorly known. We tracked the juveniles of nine species of Procellariiformes in the Southern Ocean during their first month at sea in order to examine how their foraging strategy differ from that of adults, and how they differ between species whose adults show contrasted foraging habits. (1) We use analyze trajectory parameters in order to characterise and compare the different foraging strategies. Within species, birth colony and sex can affect individual strategy and foraging zones. (2) We find that species differ extensively from dispersive to true migratory behaviour. Most juveniles of each species follow, the migration or dispersion patterns of non-breeding adults, showing,an innate ability for navigation toward preferred foraging places. However, for two species we observe a clear contrast between foraging strategies of adult and juveniles. Important sex specific differences also occur for some species. We discuss the implication of these results in terms of the evolution of the foraging behavioir of naïve individuals.

Opening and closing high level windows and roof lights will be a breeze thanks to the launch of a new natural ventilation system from GEZE UK. The new OL Line manual window control system has been designed specifically for commercial and public buildings, including schools, and thanks to its modular design, can easily be retrofitted.
The OL Line provides an easy and reliable control system for even the most hard to reach of windows. A manual opener is fitted to the opening vent which is linked via lengths of conduit and cable to a wall mounted operator. The conduit can easily be bent around obstructions allowing the handle to be placed within easy reach. This modular system has been designed to be as flexible as possible. Multiple vents can be operated easily from a single operator in a choice of installation arrangements. It is available in a choice of opening widths from the most popular Midi operator to the Maxi operator for heavier window loads, making it suitable for use on most styles of window. It can even be used to open roof lights when used with a screwjack opener.
Andy Howland, sales director of GEZE UK said: "Ninety per cent of windows in the UK are hung from the top and open outwards - obviously this is not a problem when they are positioned within easy reach but is more problematic for remote high level or difficult to access windows. "The new OL Line is a natural extension to our range of natural ventilation products. It is extremely flexible, easy to install and can be retrofitted. As a result the OL Line is the ideal for manual system for public and commercial buildings as well as for schools where a cost effective 'child-safe' system is required. "Ultimately, the new OL Line system makes natural ventilation a breath of fresh air!"

1. Be respectful of other players. Treat others as you wish to be treated. This game has no tolerance for rudeness or bullies.
2. Keep everything pg-13/R.
3. Do not argue with staff, what we say goes but we will always try to be fair about things.
4. Please make sure you have fully read and understand the theme before going IC. Ask questions if you are unclear on something.
5. Respect the theme of the game. Yes, there are some very restrictive elements to the theme in regards to wealth, fame and parahumans. This is part of the theme and setting. You need to understand going in that you will have to work with the theme and other players here.
6. We do not have a minimum word requirement for poses but we do ask that you try to be as detailed as possible in your poses and give people something to RP to. Do not ignore other characters in a scene. If you cannot RP with everyone in the scene, do not join the scene. Period.
7. Whether you want to make your alts public or not is completely up to you. Staff will not expose anyone's alts, and staff expect players to have the same respect for their fellow players. If it's not your alt, it's not your business. We have a strict 3 alt limit. Your alts may not interact/share information/give items or money/or act as a antagonist to your other alts.
8. Please stay active! We will try to maintain activity here. If you have not logged in and participated in RP for more than 3 weeks your character will be reaped or added/returned to the roster list.
9. Do not idle in public rooms! If you need to idle, hit +OOC and get off the grid so that you aren't looming in a public area.

We all know there is nothing worse than having someone bust into a scene only to start posing and completely derail the whole scene up to that point. It's never intentional, but it is only good manners to page and ask if the scene is okay to join /before/ walking in. Sometimes an extra set of eyes will completely change a scenes dynamic. Be respectful of ALL RP, including the RP that isn't yours.
11. When entering into an already progressing scene, keep in mind that everyone doesn't enjoy large scenes. No one has the right to run another out of RP they started. If you want a big scene and others do not, go start your own. No one can choose to go to 3PR without the approval of everyone in the scene.

By Vincent Mortensen
Many people wonder how to get out of debt and get ahead in life. It's not a terrorizing concept by any means but sometimes we feel we'll be financially helpless for the rest of our lives. There are two main ways to get out of debt: spend less than you earn or make more money. Here are a few tips to make some extra money to find financial peace once and for all.
Spend Less: You'd be surprised how much money you spend by not giving all your dollars a destination. Here are the best ways to save by not spending.
–CREATE A BUDGET: If you know where every dollar is going, you'll know what to cut back on. Many of us believe living on a budget means we'll have fun ever again. That's simply not the case. You'll have fun when you are financially at peace and have properly allotted money for an activity, like a vacation or a new TV.
–CUT DOWN ON DISCRETIONARY PURCHASES: It's easy to have a $3 coffee every day and then wonder where all your money went at the end of the year. Instead, purchase your coffee only three times a week. Adding that up in one year, and you'll have saved $312. That's a lot of scratch.
–FIND FREE FUN: To quote Eric Cartman from the hit TV series South Park, "Anything that's fun costs at least eight dollars." Of course this isn't true. You would be surprised how many free activities are in your local area or online. This can include free concerts, dusting off a favorite board game, or playing the thousands of free games online.
Make More: If you enjoy your current lifestyle and don't wish to change anything about it financially, you will need to take the road of making more money. This can be done by:
–GET A SIMPLE PART-TIME JOB: Retailers are often hiring so give them a ring. There are other ways to make extra income from home such as working online. There is money out there for anyone who is willing to work for it.
–SELL ITEMS YOU DON'T USE ANYMORE: We all love our "stuff" but human nature usually causes us to get bored of that "stuff" sooner or later. Why not hold a nice yard sale and make some extra money?
One day, I decided to clean out my closet of items I didn't use anymore. This included a pair of ice skates, a series of computer games, and old college textbooks. In total, I earned about $150 effortlessly by selling items I no longer used. Give it a try!

Hyland's,® Inc. celebrates its 110th anniversary with innovative social media campaigns that promote natural solutions for wellness
7‐Day Sleep Challenge and Hyland's Baby New Packaging debut at Natural Products Expo West
LOS ANGELES (Mar. 05, 2013) – Celebrating its 110th anniversary, Hyland's, Inc. is proving itself to be a master of modern social marketing. Attracting thousands of new consumers with innovative campaigns online that deliver content‐rich, natural solutions to everyday challenges, Hyland's will unveil its first 7‐ Day Sleep Challenge at Natural Products Expo West, Anaheim, Calif., March 8‐10, 2013 (booth #1760), along with other exciting initiatives.
On February 28, 2013, Hyland's launched a month‐long contest to name its Tooth Fairy in celebration of the National Tooth Fairy Day. The Hyland's Tooth Fairy is a character who will engage and educate parents and children alike as they search for safe, effective solutions to ease the discomfort of teething. And, while it's no surprise that trouble sleeping is often linked to caring for young children, Hyland's will launch its 7‐Day Sleep Challenge to help consumers of all ages discover the strategies they need to achieve a better night's sleep, naturally.
"We appreciate that our customers want effective natural solutions that can work for their families," said Thao Le, vice president of marketing at Hyland's. "By reaching out to them via social media, we have been able to provide education about natural alternatives and become a trusted resource for family health and wellness, from newborns all the way up to the active retired," she noted.
Sleep is a big issue for many Americans. According to the National Sleep Foundation1, 43 percent of Americans between the ages of 13 and 64 say they rarely or never get a good night's sleep on weeknights. Sixty percent experience disruptions to their sleep every night, or almost every night. While financial concerns related to the economy play a large part in keeping adults up at night, according to Mintel2, concern over the potential side effects of prescription pharmaceuticals is affecting their willingness to try traditional sleep aids. As a result, there is an increased interest in natural, over‐the‐counter alternatives.
While safe, natural solutions such as Hyland's Calms Forté, Hyland's Nerve Tonic, and Hyland's Leg Cramps PM can assist those seeking relief from everyday stresses and strains, Hyland's appreciates that many factors influence and help improve sleep.
"Sharing rich content that helps consumers reassess their sleep environment and habits, and collaborating with partner brands to provide meaningful rewards for participation, is something we feel can make a tremendous difference in our customer's lives," says Lisa Shapiro, Hyland's brand manager.
Hyland's free 7‐Day Sleep Challenge, timed to launch the day after Daylight Savings, begins March 11, 2013. In addition to useful tips for reducing stress and sleep issues, a daily Sleep Challenge is offered to help promote restful sleep in just 7 days.
While adults battle with sleep issues, babies need natural relief for common ailments such as teething, coughs and colds. In addition to its engaging Tooth Fairy campaign online, Hyland's will introduce a brand new look for its Hyland's Baby line at Expo West. Hyland's Baby products are specially formulated for babies between ages 6‐24 months and will remain unchanged, continuing to offer safe, effective relief with no artificial flavors, dyes or parabens. The new packaging is expected to be on the shelf by the end of the second quarter of 2013.
Hyland's products are available at Walgreens, Rite Aid, national grocery retailers and select Natural Foods stores. For more information call 1‐800‐624‐9659 or visit www.hylands.com or www.hylandsbaby.com.

A STORM in a teacup. A distraction. We're just getting on with business.
Those were the reactions from ministers, including the Prime Minister, to Wednesday's attempted leadership coup.
But however hard Labour try to play it down, the botched plot has been a disaster for the party.
As The Sun predicted, voters have been massively turned off by the spectacle of Labour feuding while we are in recession and at war.
By massively turned off, the Sun presumably means that according to their very own poll, Labour's support has dropped by a truly cataclysmic, err, 1%. By the same yardstick, the botched plot was presumably also a disaster for the Liberal Democrats, whose support also dropped by 1%. The other disaster is the paper's truly terrible graphic depictions of the leaders, with Clegg coming off the worst:
That's Alfred E. Neuman, isn't it?

Synopsis (Goodreads):
The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Wal-Mart and magic is a fairy tale—and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny…My Thoughts: I honestly love this series. There's so much depth and so many tangents and so many wonderful characters that haven't yet been explored that I have this sad little ache inside knowing that this is the final book. I even tried to read slowly so I could savor it but, alas, I'm plowed through it like there was a feral Changeling hot on my heels. *sniffle* That's okay, though. I can immerse myself in a reread in the future and experience it all over again.
Charlotte de Ney is as noble as they come, a blueblood straight out of the Weird. But even though she possesses rare magical healing abilities, her life has brought her nothing but pain. After her marriage crumbles, she flees to the Edge to build a new home for herself. Until Richard Mar is brought to her for treatment, and Charlotte's life is turned upside down once again.
Richard is a swordsman without peer, future head of his large and rambunctious Edger clan—and he's on a clandestine quest to wipe out slavers trafficking humans in the Weird. So when his presence leads his very dangerous enemies to Charlotte, she vows to help Richard destroy them. The slavers' operation, however, goes deeper than Richard knows, and even working together, Charlotte and Richard may not survive...
But let's talk about this book. Charlotte's battle against the darkness inside was... well, not fun, but it was fascinating to read about. I could understand why she was willing to see the quest through to the end once she had used her power because she literally thought she had nothing else to lose. Richard's desire to see things through because he didn't want anyone else in his family consumed by revenge until they lose all sight of the here and now was no less poignant than Charlotte's. He's seen first hand how the desire for vengeance can twist a person up.
We get to spend some quality time with George and Jack (Jack's Changeling nature FASCINATES me), get resolution to several plot threads that have been laid out in previous books, and get to revisit (no matter how briefly) a multitude of characters we've met before. I'm sad to see this series end but I'm pleased with how it all played out. On the other hand, I wouldn't pooh-pooh another dozen books in this series if the planets aligned and the Gods of all Things Bookish decided to give it a second chance.
I'm just sayin'.

Finding a way to workout, tone and tighten doesn't have to be boring. In fact, working out can be sexy, and it can help you feel sexy as your body gets tight and firm. The sexy workout you choose should be an activity that you enjoy so that you are more likely to want to fit your exercise time into each day.
Salsa Lessons
Dancing the salsa is a sexy workout for men and women. When you first start going to salsa lessons, you will probably wear regular workout gear; however, as your lessons progress, you will start showing up in nicer clothes. Women usually wear a flirty dress with high heels, and men usually wear dress slacks and a flirty shirt. If you don't have a significant other, a singles salsa class may be a good choice, as you can get fit and you may meet someone interesting. You can expect to burn around 400 calories per hour if you actively participate in class, and you don't have to be a great dancer to see results quickly.
Pool Exercises
The pool is a great place to workout, tone and tighten with a sexy exercise routine. Swimming laps and doing water aerobics are two things you can incorporate into an exercise routine at the pool. Not only do you get to wear sexy beach attire to swim, you can also improve your tan. If you swim laps, you can burn around 600 calories per hour. It doesn't matter what type of stroke you use when you swim; however, if you use a variety of strokes, you will tone more muscles. If you opt for water aerobics, you can burn around 300 calories per hour. Pool exercises are a great option if you have joint problems or need help to support your weight, since the water acts as your support.
Pole Dancing
Pole dancing is an exercise that can help you get firm and toned. This exercise is usually combined with strength training exercises to help get the muscles ready for some of the moves on the pole. Most centers only have pole dancing classes for women, but there are some centers that offer classes for men. It is highly unlikely that you will find a class that includes men and women. You don't need to have any previous dance experience, but you do have to be willing to push yourself if you want to get the most out of these classes. Some centers offer chair dancing as a warm up for the pole dancing. Chair dancing can also help you break into the pole dancing if you are really out of shape. Beginners will burn around 200 calories per hour, but more advanced pole dancers can burn up to 400 calories per hour.
Belly Dancing
Swaying your hips and moving to Middle Eastern music is a very sexy way to get toned. Belly dancing has traditionally been considered a woman's activity, but there are exercise programs and dance routines for men. The sensual movements of belly dancing coupled with the flirty costumes can add some spice to your workout routine. You can burn around 350 calories per hour while belly dancing. Some advanced belly dancers can easily burn 500 calories or more in one session.
Aerial Acrobatics
Dressing in ballet attire is a must if you are going to do aerial acrobatics. That alone is enough to classify this activity as a sexy workout. When you add in the sensual poses, things really heat up. Most aerial acrobatic routines are done from scarf-like silk bolts of fabric hanging from the ceiling. In some centers, these workouts are known as antigravity exercises. You can burn around 450 calories per hour with an aerial acrobatic workout, tone and tighten routine.

(NEW YORK) — A crane collapsed across Tappan Zee Bridge in New York Tuesday, and remarkably, no vehicles were hit.
Video from helicopter footage taken by local ABC-owned television station WABC shows the crane sprawled across multiple lanes of the bridge.
New York State Troopers Troop T told ABC News that one minor accident was caused as a result of a driver rear-ending another motorist who spotted the falling crane and stopped.
Several contractors suffered minor injuries, according to the State Troopers.

Funny, over at Simple Simon & Co. they are having a 'Can't judge an Ugly Vintage Pattern by it's Cover' Party. I am still chuckling first because she had to clarify 'Vintage' for the parameters of the party, and set the 1990's as a freshness cutoff. Personally the 60's and 70' are my vintage maybe even a few 80's.
It spurred me to run up to my stash of newly acquired patterns that I shipped home this Summer from my (maternal) aunts' houses, during my vacation. Some (most) of these music patterns were my Nani's.
While I was digging through their sewing items (rooms) and told them I wanted all their old patterns they were like.....,"What are you going to do with those, they are so old!?"
My answer was almost exactly word for word the Elizabeths' title of her party.
Somewhere stashed in my house I have patterns from the 1950's to the present.
I could only find a fraction of my patterns but even then I could not decide on the ugliest so I snapped some photos of the best contenders, and I kept in mind what I really would use by updating.
I hate using patterns because of the tissue paper they print on, the older tissue does not tear and shred as easily, some of my GM's patterns have been transferred to interfacing. I do not think that I have bought a NEW pattern in the last 10 years because of the tissue and no need.
So, which will be your pick for "Ugly Duckling"? I think I will have to choose one for myself and make me a new 'do then post, just to prove you cannot always judge a pattern by it's cover.

Custom Design Website
Custom design will cost quite a bit more as we will need to have an artist come up with all the art work needed.
We would also need to slice and dice the artwork to create the HTML pages.
Should you need custom coding in PHP or Dot Net we have professional programmers that can do exactly what you want.
Let us give you a quote based on your needs.
We will have our artist develop a design which will be created in Adobe Illustrator.
From there we will take that design and on our test location server we will create the website.
Our development website area is where you can view it in a location that is not indexed by Search engines.
Should you want we can password protect it so only those you choose can view it.
When all aspects of the website meets your approval we will then transfer it to your hosting account to go live. You will also be given all artwork. All .ai, .psd, .jpg and other types of graphic files
Custom design websites can run into many thousands of dollars depending on artwork required.
Good Artists can be quite costly
Such projects can take up to 4 months or more to complete depending on complexity.
Due to the time required and the high cost most small companies may find this beyond their budget
For that reason we recommend the use of predesigned templates which cut costs and time to delivery down considerably.
Whether you want a fully custom design or save money by using a predesign template we can help you each step of the way.
We provide you with solutions and not excuses.

Anyway, onto what I purchased/repurchased and what my mum also picked up for me.
First up, a few Dove products. If there's one thing I can never have enough of, it's shampoos/conditioners. I have about a billion, and I love trying new ones, because I feel I've been getting closer to the perfect hair products that work a treat with my hair. I remember my sister saying she was content using her Dove shampoo and conditioner, back when I was getting Lee Stafford stuff in December, and after she left to go back to England after Christmas, I noticed Dove products in the shower. My family would say I'm know to, ahem, borrow other people's shampoo
without asking, but the last few years I kicked that habit of wanting what others have, but these looked so lonely. And almost empty anyway. So I used them and my hair felt so, so soft and lovely, even when I let it air dry. It usually goes frizzy and horrible but I really noticed a huge difference using the Dove products. They also smell really nice and the packaging, which is white with gold, is very elegant, if shampoo can be elegant. The ones I got today, the same as the ones left abandoned it the shower (let me just note, if they belonged to my mum or other sister: sorry for using the last bit!), are called Dove Hair Therapy Nourishing Oil Care, which claim to "revitalise and smooth dry, rough and frizzy hair with weightless nutri-oils". That's my rough French translation anyway, because I'm too lazy to google what Dove has to say about it. But I'm sure it says pretty much that in English. So I got the shampoo, conditioner and a deep conditioner. They also had a leave-in conditioner, but I have my Bed Head Ego Boost for that. anyway, you're supposed to leave the deep conditioner in for about 3-5 minutes, which I did, and my hair is very soft and feels sort of light, but that could just be me thinking it feels like that. It definitely doesn't feel full of product, which makes my hair feel heavy and horrible, which is great! So far, I love this stuff.
Next, I asked my mum if she could find me bebe Relaxing Care Day & Night Cream, which is my moisturiser, and if she could find the bebe face wash, to get that too, please. Problem was, I was at work at the time and didn't have enough time to describe the product in detail, and the shop she went to only had my cream and a toner. Which is great because that means I get to try out a new product! So she got the bebe Shine Control Oil-Free Face Lotion, which promises a "shine-free complexion, with lemongrass and fruitextracts and it cleanses and gets rid of dirt and excess oils that are on the skin". Again a rough translation, this time from German to English. Using my decent language skills, like a boss. So yeah, I had a bit of a mishap when I opened it and spilt it all over the place, over than that it's great. My day&night cream is great too, I've really seen a difference since I started using it, I get less spots (hardly any now!) and my skin feels really soft and is less patchy. My face wash, which we couldn't find (I looked too, when we went shopping), has also contributed to my improved skin condition. I really love these products and would recommend them to anyone who can get their hands on them. They have something to do with Johnson products, but I'm not sure if they're available in England, or if they're named differently. If not, try www.amazon.de or www.amazon.fr, because it's made in France apparently but is also translated into German, so I think you'll probably find it on one of those. More on my bebe experiences here.
And finally, a deodrant, Fa Mystic Moments Seductive Fragrance*, which I've repurchased because it is a very nice smelling deodrant indeed, probably the best I've ever smelt. My boyfriend loves it, probably because it smells quite "sexy" if that makes any sense?*(I noticed it had seducative fragrance after having written this sentence) It's so nice, and works well, it claims to have "24 hour reliable protection", and this really is a first, I actually believe that. Unless of course you do nothing but sport all day, therefore sweat like a pig, because the only thing that will help you in that case is a shower. It also says "no white marks & skin friendly" which is also very true. No translation needed because it's all in English (apart from the back, that's all in French and Dutch.Grrr) But yeah, this deodrant is great! I love it.
Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?

Peperoni Meatballs with Goat Cheese & Spinach
Did you also read the books from Astrid Lindgren when you were a child? If yes, do you remember Karlsson, the kid with the propeller who loved cinnamon rolls and meatballs? Well, whenever I make one of the two I'm automatically reminded of that funny, cheeky troublemaker! I hope you'll enjoy this new version of meatballs!
Ingredients(for around 12 meatballs):
-500g ground meat
-1 small onion, cut into small pieces
-1 egg yolk
-1 peperoni, seeds taken out and chopped into fine pieces
-150g leaf spinach, chopped
-100g matured goat cheese, cut coarsely
-salt & pepper
-fat for the pan
1. Mix ground meat with the onion and egg yolk.
2. Add peperoni, spinach, cheese and a pint of both salt and pepper.
3. Form into even, round balls. Heat pan. Place meatballs in pan and roast on either side for around five minutes. Serve along with mustard.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — If you've ever wondered what it would be like to hang out with Jared Dudley, O.J. Mayo and Jerryd Bayless, the Milwaukee Bucks have an answer for you. They've gathered these three at a restaurant, and while there's not actually any eating going on, the conversation is incredible, touching on a variety of topics, including but not limited to: massages; boats; swimming; Don King; wild sharks; an underwater snorkel trail; ear cleanings in China.
We need more of this conversation. Can this be a weekly podcast?

Song and dance
He's in ballet. She's in musical theater. Will there be an encore?
- |
Samantha Hammel, 25, Entrepreneur
Her perfect date: Walking or biking, going to a museum, dinner and a movie at home
She's happiest: Singing live band karaoke with her brothers or teaching at her performing-arts studio
French Clements, 28, Ballet teacher and writer
He's a catch because: Training in ballet, he grew up around women.
His perfect Saturday: Playing soccer with his Little Brother, biking to the coffee shop, hanging out and laughing with friends
8 p.m. Om, Harvard Square
What's in a Name? French: Once I turned onto Winthrop Street and saw Om, there were a few butterflies. Like, this could be a major development! Or it could be utter hell!
Samantha: I thought he was clean-cut and trendy. He had an infectious smile.
French: She had really nice skin! Very tan and smiley. Not entirely my "type," but not my type's antithesis, either.
Samantha: I had to know what the deal was with his name. (Answer: Many grandparents ago had the last name French.)
French: One of the first things she said was "So, what's your deal?" -- an enjoyable question that helps deflate awkward situations. People tend not to believe I teach ballet, but she seemed kind of receptive -- I was blown away that not only does she know dance, but she runs a performing-arts school.
Samantha: I was practically recruiting him to teach a master class before we had menus!
A Simpsons Singalong Samantha: I'm a vegan, so I ordered a salad and a tofu dish. French and I shared a fantastic berry-mint drink, and we both agreed he had to order the French Superfly, a very tasty mimosa-esque drink.
French: She has an almost brusque manner that I realized is really a dry kind of humor. And we had several connections, including a love for The Simpsons Sing the Blues, a cheesy album released when we were small and to which we both sang certain phrases together, right there.
Samantha: I knew then that this was a guy I could bring home to my brothers.
French: At first, it was closer to "I don't know if this is going to work," then it shifted over to "This person is pretty great." She seemed really open to new experiences and has a good, lively energy. Also, she's a freaking hotshot, with all kinds of impresario-type activities from an early age. I like go-getters.
Samantha: My comfort level increased as the night went on, mainly because French was easy to get along with, and partially because the drinks were potent!
French: Although I'm not yet sure if the connection is romantic or platonic, she's an awesome woman and I'd be happy to share more fun with her. But sharing food is a biggie for my sense of togetherness. So her vegan diet may test me a little.
Getting Cheeky Samantha: It was pretty late when we wrapped it up. French walked me to my car, we exchanged numbers, and he kissed me on the cheek.
French: My friend told me it was the classy thing to do. And I did feel classy!
Post mortem French says: A-?
Samantha says: A
Second Date? They've already planned it.

It is important to make sure you maintain the roof of your house if you want to keep your house in top shape. You have to inspect the roof regularly \every few months and highlight signs of damage. If you can spot patches on the roof or damaged shingles, it's time to get some maintenance work done. Some common signs of damage to the roof include:
- Missing shingles;
- Clear signs of water leakage;
- Recessed patches on the roof.
If there's clear signs of damage, you should hire an affordable roof repairs company in Leeds. Here are some basic tips to help you find an affordable repair company.
Check Online
You can get a better idea about different roof repair companies in your area by checking online. There are numerous forums on which homeowners discuss their problems, and how they fixed them. You can ask for recommendations about local companies that offer repair services and then get a quote from them for the work. Most companies will ask to observe your house first before giving a quote. You should only set an appointment visit after checking their website and reading a few reviews online about the quality of their service.
Learning how to negotiate with any company is one of the biggest assets that you need to have. When the employee gives you a quote, you can easily negotiate with him or her to bring the price down further. Most companies usually offer flexible quotes, so you can bring down the price considerably.

Oboe is a practically oriented field focusing on the study and systematic mastery of oboe instructional and elocutionary literature. The instruction develops and perfects the student's knowledge acquired during previous studies, primarily at conservatories. This applies to the area of methodological approaches as well as to the student's own interpretive activity. As part of the instruction, it is expected that all students will be significantly involved in the school's concert activities in chamber ensembles, orchestras and solo performances. The historical repertoire tradition of wind instruments involves small formations composed of the school's students, who can actively co-create the artistic character and impact of major concerts. Matriculations, graduations, the conferring of honorary doctorates, etc. are accompanied by concert performances and ceremonial music spanning four centuries and all stylistic periods.
Graduate profile
Current practice requires a broad range of styles and genres. Graduates apply their skills in orchestral playing, chamber playing and soloist activity, as well as in pedagogical work in primary and secondary education.
|Applications start
|1st November 2018
|Applications end
|30th November 2018
|Start of study:
|1st October 2019
Admission requirements
The basic requirements are instrumental talent, developed musical imagination, refined musical prerequisites, health condition and psychological disposition to study the chosen instrument, knowledge of the instrument's literature and general cultural knowledge. Performance from memory in the assigned repertoire is a prerequisite for admission. The entrance examination includes a section on music theory and the history of music which tests knowledge of the development of music, prominent authors and musical compositions, supported by specific knowledge of fundamental works. The section on harmony requires knowledge of the principles of Classical and Romantic harmony as well as the ability to orient oneself in the basic analysis of a musical work. The section on counterpoint requires knowledge of basic concepts (imitation, canon, fugue, double counterpoint, etc.), and the section on musical forms requires a basic overview of individual forms and genres. A qualifying requirement is a completed secondary or completed secondary vocational education.

I've been working on trying to make Socca the way I like it ever since I found a bag of chickpea flour in Fuengirola and I think I finally have a rough idea how to do it.
I followed a recipe in The New York Times by Mark Bittman and modified it to suit my tastes and the quirks of my oven.
What did I change?
First of all since I wasn't impressed by the soft Socca I made the first time, I divided the batter into two to get a thinner crispier Socca.
I also added 1 teaspoon of whole black peppercorns on top of the ground black pepper (though there was less than 1 teaspoon of the ground stuff in the batter), a generous amount of ground dried red chili peppers, some dried rosemary and sprinkled coarse salt over the batter after it was in the pan.
I set the initial temperature higher to 250C (482F) instead of 204 C (400F) and put the pan in the middle rack for 15 minutes, then moved it to a higher rack and maxed out the temperature for another 2-3 minutes.
And here's the result: A thin crispy Socca that crackles on the outside and is still somewhat soft inside. They were all gone within minutes of making their debut into this world.

X-T1 meets model Evi Lanou
As previously mentioned, a few weeks ago I had the chance to try out the X-T1 at a fashion shoot. A friend and well known fashion photographer George Dimopoulos was conducting his 8th professional weekend seminar for the third year in a row and had gathered some great models and some new designs from award winning fashion designer Konstantinos Mitrovgenis and had chosen a dozen or so excellent locations in the heart of Athens.
So for 2 days I followed them around and captured both backstage events and when given the chance I managed some shots of my own. It was an eyeopener event for me - never done fashion before - and I really was impressed by the overall teamwork and the professional standard by all involved including models, makeup artists and hair dressers.
Fujifilm X-T1
As I've mentioned plenty of times before, I love the camera, but there are some issues. While shooting the lovely model Evi Lanou the battery in the grip went red, but i was not worried since I had a full battery in the body. Unfortunately though, the X-T1 does a weird dance on-off while deciding every time you wake it up from sleep mode whether to use the battery in the grip or the body. This weird and obnoxious behavior surely needs to be fixed by Fuji soon! So unfortunately for now, when the level falls to near empty in the grip, the camera seems to have a hard time deciding which battery to use and in this situation the only solution i can offer so far (apart from replacing the battery with a freshly charged one,) is to simply pull it out until you have finished that particular shoot and then replace it. Now the camera has no choice but to chooses the battery in the body.
Hands-On Editorial Training
If you are interested in fashion photography and will be traveling to either Greece or Cyprus, you may be interested in the FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP™ by GEORGE DIMOPOULOS. Apart from the experience you will gather you will surely end up with a fatter portfolio filled with a large selection of models, clothing and locations.

Reduced Footprint
Did you know that…
- The U.S. is responsible for 25% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions?
- Indiana has one of the highest carbon emissions in the U.S., on a per-person basis?
- Indiana has no laws to control, or even monitor, the state's carbon emissions?
Five Things You Can Do as an Engaged Citizen of Indiana:
1. Support a federal cap and trade system
What it does: Places a national ceiling on total carbon emissions and allows entities to trade their carbon permits with one another to reduce costs.
Why it matters: Spurs industries to find cost-cutting, energy-efficient opportunities in their operations; creates an enormous national market for renewable energy technologies; reduces air pollution as a secondary benefit.
2. Support a state-level renewable electricity standard
What it does: Requires utilities to buy part of their power from renewables.
Why it matters: Reduces reliance on high-polluting electricity sources; creates jobs in rural areas; promotes a new economic sector for Indiana.
3. Support energy-efficient building codes
What it does: Requires buildings to have equipment and materials of a certain level of energy efficiency.
Why it matters: Buildings consume about 70% of our total energy use. This saves billions in operations and maintenance costs, and reduces demand for electricity, reducing the need to build base load, often polluting energy.
4. Support forest land procurement
What it does: Expands acreage under forest land.
Why it matters: Protects rare species, provides aesthetic, economic value.
5. Support mass transit funding
What it does: Enables more bus lines, intercity rail, and light rail systems.
Why it matters: Reduces air pollution, stress, and oil dependency.

The big news of the day, judging by his appearances on national radio last night and this morning, is that Darlington has appointed the country's first "Twitterer-in-residence". Mike McTimony, a frequent contributor to this blog's comments' section and a leading light in the town's cycling fraternity, has been appointed to the £140 a year position.
No doubt the usual suspects will line up to mock this appointment, but I think it's great. The power of this sort of communication was seen recently when a huge campaign was generated in a matter of hours against the Daily Mail after its columnist Jan Moir made disparaging remarks about Stephen Gately's lifestyle soon after his death a couple of months ago.
What will Mike tweet about? Will there be any more news along the lines of "Darlington town centre was fairly full today, despite the rain", which had my favourite news presenter, Peter Allen on 5Live, in stitches yesterday? How will Mike maintain a political balance, or will he even bother with politics? Sadly, since I have so far failed to master this thing, having tried unsuccessfully to work out how to follow David "Bumble" Lloyd during this summer's Ashes series, I may never know.
By the way, if you're interested in all this sort of stuff, try logging on here. It's a fun, interactive website about Darlington and well worth shoving into your favourites list.

A Beijing court has ruled against Apple by upholding the validity of a patent held by a Chinese company, clearing the way for the Chinese company to continue its own case against Apple for infringing intellectual property rights.
Apple had taken Shanghai-based Zhizhen Internet Technology and China's State Intellectual Property Office to court to seek a ruling that Zhizhen's patent rights to a speech recognition technology were invalid.
But the Beijing First Intermediate Court on Tuesday decided in Zhizhen's favor, the People's Daily state newspaper reported on Wednesday.

After the verdict, Apple said it intended to take the case to the Beijing Higher People's Court, according to the People's Daily.
"Unfortunately, we were not aware of Zhizhen's patent before we introduced Siri (speech recognition technology) and we do not believe we are using this patent," said a Beijing-based Apple spokeswoman in an emailed statement to Reuters.
"While a separate court considers this question, we remain open to reasonable discussions with Zhizhen," the spokeswoman said.
Zhizhen declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
Zhizhen sued the U.S. firm in 2012 for intellectual property rights infringement, saying Apple's Siri used on devices including the iPhone violated Zhizhen's own voice system patents.

Excellent!! That was quite the insane glue up. I'm glad all went well. I've got cargo shorts, but no cargo pants. I guess it's time to go shopping. After this, you should be able to win something at next year's Hand Tool Olympics. Maybe a large tenon saw? That'd be cool, huh?!
- October 6, 2011 at 3:13 PM
- Mark Rhodes said...
Coming along nicely Rob, will you be spending much time on the interiors of the drawer, for tool layout? I've always fancied making a tool chest myself, but have never got round to it, well thats a lie I did make a site tool box that came from a book by Jim Tolpin, sort of arts and crafts inspired. Anyway looking forward to the next video, thanks for documenting this build.

- Rob Bois said...
I should probably clarify that cargo shorts and cargo pants are equally important (I prefer to let the season dictate). As for Mark's question about the interiors of the drawers, I will definitely do something there. I do want some dividers, but I also don't want to lock the design into custom compartments, as I find my needs always change over time. For example, the tenon saw Vic referenced has no home in my hanging tool cabinet.

Got to admit.. you really demonstrated your "Stick to it" attitude with that complex and lengthy glue up. One question: What brand of Cargo Pants?
- October 6, 2011 at 4:33 PM
- Jon Stinson said...
I don't know if it's the cargo shorts or the belt that's 20" too long that's giving you your edge ;)
Looks great though either way.
- October 7, 2011 at 8:23 PM
- Chris Adkins said...
Wow..tough glue up but a great job! That can be a stressful time in a project if things don't go right.
Looking forward to seeing the finished cabinet.

Wondering about your 401K while considering bankruptcy?
The decision to file bankruptcy is not an easy one. There is no "one size fits all" debt relief option, and what works for some might not work for others. For instance, some people might choose to negotiate directly with creditors to make debt payments more affordable. Others could choose to take out a loan from friends or family to pay off high-interest debts, consolidate their debts with a debt management company, or file for bankruptcy.
All debt management options – bankruptcy included – have both their pros and their cons, which is why it is vital to think long and hard about the best method before taking action. An important issue that many people don't consider when thinking about bankruptcy or other debt relief options is what will happen to their 401K or retirement accounts.
Cash it in?
For people with a significant retirement nest egg built up, it might be tempting to cash out their 401K or take out a loan against it to pay off debt. On paper, that sounds logical and like a good way to free up the income necessary to get rid of debt while still holding on to other personal assets. This method is successful for some people, but there are definite downsides that must be considered.
For example: your age at the time you decide to "borrow" from your 401K or other ERISA-qualified retirement plan is a key component of the decision whether or not this is a viable option for you. If you are in your 30s, chances are good that you will have plenty of time to replenish those funds before you retire, but the likelihood of doing that is significantly lower if you are in your late 50s.
There are other negative financial side effects that could flow from taking funds from a 401K, namely early-withdrawal penalties and tax consequences. It is important to remember that money from a 401K dispersal will be treated as income for tax purposes, and between the tax hike and the penalties, you might be better off just leaving that money alone.
Let it sit?
If you opt for leaving your 401K and retirement accounts intact, remember this: federal laws generally exempt those funds from consideration in a bankruptcy filing. Arizona will generally exempt all but the funds you deposited in the last 120 days before filing. This could mean that you get the debt relief offered by a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing without having to jeopardize your financial future.
Do you have questions about how your 401K will be treated in bankruptcy? Have concerns about the impact of bankruptcy on your credit? Want to learn more about rebuilding your credit after bankruptcy? For the answers to these and other bankruptcy-related questions, seek the advice of an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area.

My latest project was very quick, easy and pleasing.
I had some scraps left over from my latest work blouse, and thought I'd try the free Sorbetto pattern from Colette patterns. I am possibly the last sewing blogger to try this, but was a bit put off by comments from some curvaceous persons who found this unflattering, so had it lying around in the sewing room waiting for the right remnants.
Well, it is just perfect on a slim teenager, even if she has an hourglass figure.
Size 0, with the sleeves from Sew Incidentally, not even scaled down to a 0 (the sleeve is about a 6), and with no adjusting of allegedly incompatible seam allowances. I told you it was quick and easy! (I think it took about an hour to cut out and sew)
I was actually inspired to make this by SusanKPs pretty blouse in her latest 6pac. I didn't use her good idea of mid section gathering, but used the pleat in the pattern.
As I had to cut the front out in two sections, with a joining seam, I used a machine embroidery feather stitch in a hopefully disguising manner along this seam, and also used this stitch to embellish the neckline binding.
The hem is bound as well, as the top is actually for my older daughter, who is not only taller than daughter the second (there wasn't a lot of fabric left), but lives mostly in Brisbane, a few hundred km away, so can afford to introduce the same fabrics as her mother wears into her wardrobe, as no one will ever see her mother.
Now I am under strict instructions to make a second one for this particular model, or maybe 3 or 4?
Stashbusting statistics - about a metre of remnant cotton. The benefits of sewing size 0!

Very cute top. Well done to make this work from limited fabric and your embellishments make it extra special.And you are not the last one to sew this pattern. I have it in my pattern stash but have yet to try it.
- 12 June 2014 at 21:01
- sewing spots said...
That top turned out really well! It's practically instant gratification.
I've never made the Sorbetto either:(
- 12 June 2014 at 22:02
- Summer Flies said...
No you are not the last...I haven't made it but I don't think the boxiness would suit me. I love it on Daughter no 2. The fabric is perfect for that style bIouse also love the featherstitch and vow to find something to embellish with it.
- 12 June 2014 at 22:36
- Megan said...
Super cute, especially with the added sleeves! I think I need to find someone size 0 to sew for so that i can use up my fabric scraps, too ;)
- 13 June 2014 at 02:35
- liza jane said...
Very cute! You always do such cool things with your decorative stitches. I love the feather stitch on the binding.
- 13 June 2014 at 07:56
- fabric epiphanies said...
Actually, I think this top is anything but boxy which is why I like it! It is perfect for women with waists and hips which is probably why it looks so good on your daughter! Are you convinced enough to try your own version?
- 13 June 2014 at 12:29
- Sharon said...
Very cute top and I've still got to make mine so you aren't the last.

Make It and Love It's Baby Girl Sandals. I used Wrights Mediterranean Blue Extra Wide Double Fold Bias tape on the edges and for the center tie. I also zig zagged around the edges of the shoes instead of using vinyl basis (which for me didn't really work).
I have been working with Boston to be able to cope with having shoes on her feet. She is more interested in helping me sew. Maybe with her assistance I might be able to finally finish the dress.

About a year ago, Too Faced came out with a 9-pan eyeshadow palette called the Natural Eye Palette. I fell in love with the promo image on Sephora's website, was delighted by the softness and pigmentation of the shadows, but was ultimately turned off by the frostiness of the four frosty shades. Click here to revisit swatches of the Natural palette.
Well Too Faced has come out with a new eye palette (which I can't help thinking of as "version 2.0″). The "Naked Eye Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection" is cooler, softer, and a little less frosty. I just wish Too Faced wouldn't name things in a way that's clearly designed to confuse me.
In the Buff is matte white. Birthday Suit is satin mauve-beige. Pink Cheeks is a satin pale pink. Pillow Talk is satin sand. Satin Sheets is a shimmery/frosty pale-pink/oyster-gold duochrome. Lap Dance is a shimmery/frosty purple-grey (iced violet). Like a Virgin is a matte taupe. Unmentionables is a shimmery gunmetal taupe. Stiletto is matte black, not exceptionally pigmented.
The Naked palette is available at Sephora for $35.

You made my heart feel warm this morning Jana. I just adore these photos, especially the handshake or whatever they would call it in turtle language. You were under water on Christmas day and we were under several inches of ice and snow. I think the total accumulation since last Friday would be around 30 or a bit more, seeing as we got another 8 inches of snow last night. It certainly is a winter wonderland here today - again. A young friend of mine did a video of our ice storm which is on my post - I hope you will look at it, for you will see just what he captured and this is really how it is here. Mother Nature can be most captivating and destructive. I have not put any photos of the trees that fell on houses and cars - anyone that saw the news saw that. Instead I searched for the beauty. You bring great beauty to my desktop my dear. I am so fortunate to see life in your adventures and I truly thank you for that. Have a wonderful New Year, you and your family. Lilly

There's something wonderful about British humor, but it generally falls into similar categories. Though if you stumble upon American comedy, you'll find that it is much more versatile. I first fell in love with American stand-ups thanks to one special person who goes by the name of Caroline Rhea. And it just so happens that Caroline's partner too is a stand up comedian, introducing me to a whole other world of laughter. Meet Costaki Economopolous!
Me: Your comedy career really came to light whilst at University - would you say your studies helped your acts at all?
Costaki: Yes- and actually in graduate school I was a teaching assistant and led the discussion groups and instruction for classes in political science and that helped me with being in front of "an audience."
Me: Did you always know you wanted to go into comedy?
Costaki: Yes, but I didn't think it was really possible, so I prepared to teach American government- my fallback position.
Me: Where do you most like to perform?
Costaki: I love good clubs. A smallish place where folks know to come see good comedy. And theaters where they know me are great too.
Me: What have been your career highlights so far?
Costaki: How about meeting the mother of my child at The Atlanta Punchline? I'ts my old home club and where Care and I met.
Me: Who were your career inspirations?
Costaki: There are a lot. I continue to be inspired and impressed by comics around me all of the time. But nobody influenced me as much as George Carlin.
Me: Where do you find ideas for your acts?
Costaki: Anything that really bugs me is a good place to start.
Me: You now have a little daughter - do you hope she will follow in your footsteps?
Costaki: I hope that kid does whatever she wants. If it's comedy, that's great. But I support her to follow her heart, wherever it leads her.
Me: What advice would you give to budding stars out there?
Costaki: Do the homework. Study the greats. Write. Write some more. Rewrite. Ask questions. Get on stage as much as you can. Drink it all in.
Me: What are your hopes for the future?
Costaki: I'd like more media exposure to help build an audience- especially more stand up on television.
Thanks, Amy x
