Noodlydoo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
NoteBuuk (Academic Assessment)
Startup Software company looking for a design on our name. We own Notebuuk.com and the product name is Notebuuk. (we also have another product called workbuuk that is currently being built)
Software is used by college students to build their academic portfolios
The software needs a logo, but more importantly, I need to build a website for marketing purposes, and I need the logo for that.
University Administrators are the primary buyers of this type of software. These are mostly higher educated individuals who are Deans, Assistant Deans, PhD's and Academic types, but that doesn't mean that the logo has to be droll and boring.
Some additional logo examples (these were at the bottom but I ran out of space so I'm moving them up here)
My web page design concept is for a white background. I'd like to create a flash site that is something similar to:
But it also has to have the ability to lay down on a colored page, as the program itself runs in a variety of colors (pinks, blues, oranges) based on whatever the customer sets the background settings to.
My favorite colors are oranges and purples....and I usually love logos that have a shifting color in them...like starting with a darker purple on top and becoming lighter towards the bottom. I love logos that look glossy or glassy. Like a logo with a white background but looks like its reflecting up from a glossy white table I'm open to other colors as well.
Not sure if I'm looking for fun or classy, but I'll know it when I see it, and I WILL LEAVE FEEDBACK.
To guide you, here are some logos that I like:

Toshiba has become "re-energized" by Windows 8.1 and has two new touchscreen devices at IFA 2013 to show their commitment. The company has just announced an 8-inch tablet entitled the "Encore" and a 13-inch hybrid tablet notebook entitled the "Satellite Click".
The Encore tablet is an 8-inch full Windows 8 tablet powered by an Intel Atom Bay Trail processor, which tells us this tablet was built to be portable – not a small workhorse. Toshiba aimed at a minimalistic design with a plain silver backing and black screen border; the brand name is stamped on both the front and back, but other than that, the tablet is clean of markings.
Toshiba has decided to include a few ports including a headphone jack, HDMI out port, and Micro USB charging port – once again, not a workhorse device. Spokesmen from the company told our friends at The Verge that "smaller is where it's at" and that is where they have aimed the Encore tablet.
If tablets aren't your fancy and you prefer a cool hybrid style notebook – the Toshiba Satellite Click just might be more appealing. The unit is a 13 inch laptop with a detachable keyboard for when you are on the go. With a $599 price point, the unit has been aimed at the budget market and is packed internally to match. The unit houses an AMD A4 processor and a 1366 x 768 display; working on a tablet all day means we would usually want a much higher res unit, but for the price – it isn't bad.
Toshiba also squeezed their Satellite NB15T notebook on board as a PC alternative to the popular Apple MacBook Air. The thin and light NB15T (where naming was obviously not the marketing team's strongpoint) will feature an Intel Celeron processor, a 500 GB HDD and 4 GB of RAM.

Maybe you don't get as excited as I do about relationships …
I mean think about it, relationships are the cornerstone of human civilization. They are the gateways to new life. They are the foundation of family, which is where intimacy is grown and where love is shared. Relationships are what give meaning to human existence. Relationships are human connection.
When I think of human connection, I think of a generous kind of thing, like a stranger giving you a warm smile when you've had the day from hell. Or a baby holding your finger with her whole hand. Or, an uplifting conversation between two old friends.
To me, uplifting is intrinsic with human connection, which is what relationships are all about; relationships are about intimacy. But in the sea of celebrity coverage and social media updates, I see very little intimacy.
I see many people using each other like drugs under the pretext of love, and throwing each other away when the feeling burns out. I see men and women coveting each other's parts while remaining wholly ignorant of the infinite universe inside each one of us. I see grown people repeating the same mistakes with their partners, and when others suggest a better way, they cry, "Shamers!" I see people so hopelessly hooked on the high they receive from their lovers that they refuse to acknowledge the reality of their interactions.
In all of this I see nothing of relationships: I see entanglements .
Relationships are a harmonious sort of thing, almost like a dance. They are fluid, they are constantly changing and evolving, and they bring joy, prosperity and life. Relationships always create room for growth. Relationships are an intelligent thing born of the plans and goodwill of two happy people.Relationships
Entanglements are a different sort of beast. Entanglements are cumbersome things that impede growth. There isn't enough room to grow in an entanglement because space is never planned into them. People fall into entanglements and call it love because they feel so strongly, but for lack of a better plan, they always fail.Entanglements are a callow sort of thing that prevent people from ever truly knowing themselves or their partners.Entanglements
Presence and space: Making room to dance in relationships
One of the most important components in a relationship is space. You are a creator and are far more powerful than you may yet realize. Your person is not limited by your appendages and your skin, but by your thoughts. If a person has built faith and fulfillment into themselves through a deeply personal and committed relationship, then their field extends far past what the body can tell. This is presence. You can notice it when a powerful person walks into a room—the whole room shifts and is changed by their presence. Their power is not contained in their bodies, and everyone knows it.
You may have seen the ads that Facebook has been running on TV in a full-court press to apologize for abusing users privacy. They're embarrassing. And, it turns out, they may be a sign of things to come. Based on a recently published patent application, Facebook could one day use ads on television to further violate your privacy once you've forgotten about all those other times.
First spotted by Metro , the patent is titled "broadcast content view analysis based on ambient audio recording." () It describes a system in which an "ambient audio fingerprint or signature" that's inaudible to the human ear could be embedded in broadcast content like a TV ad. When a hypothetical user is watching this ad, the audio fingerprint could trigger their smartphone or another device to turn on its microphone, begin recording audio and transmit data about it to Facebook.
Everything in the patent is written in legalese and is a bit vague about what happens to the audio data. One example scenario imagines that various ambient audio would be eliminated and the content playing on the broadcast would be identified. Data would be collected about the user's proximity to the audio. Then, the identifying information, time, and identity of the Facebook user would be sent to the social media company for further processing.
In addition to all the data users voluntarily give up, and the incidental data it collects through techniques like
Cheap Price Outlet Sale Jerome C Rousseau PeepToe Ankle Boots w/ Tags New Arrival Cheap Online Outlet For Nice Buy Cheap Big Discount Pre Order Cheap Online LfgiOO
, Facebook would use this audio information to figure out which ads are most effective. For example, if a user walked away from the TV or changed the channel as soon as the ad began to play, it might consider the ad ineffective or on a subject the user doesn't find interesting. If the user stays where they are and the audio is loud and clear, Facebook could compare that seeming effective ad with your other data to make better suggestions for its advertising clients.
Yes, this is creepy as hell and feels like someone trying to make a patent for a peephole on a nondescript painting. Surely Facebook wouldn't start doing this with all of the heat they're taking from
and its
Cheap Sale Official Site Isabel Marant Beckett Denim Wedge Sneakers Discount Original Discount Official Site 2018 New For Sale Stockist Online 7k1DsrNck3
of bad publicity since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, would they? We've asked Facebook if they have any plans to implement this patent in the event that it's approved but didn't receive an immediate reply. Based on the fact that Facebook has been M Gemi Calla Denim Loafers w/ Tags Cheap Finishline Cheap Clearance Perfect eO9rd
on and off for more than a decade, and its entire business model relies on knowing more about you than its competitors, we're going to predict that it will definitely do this if it sees the opportunity.

when you cook do you lose phtochemicals
Some phytochemicals may be lost to some degree if the food is cooked at a high temperature for a prolonged amount of time. However, most of the phytochemicals are heat stable and will not be significantly decreased if the vegetable is cooked. Try cooking your vegetables in a minimal amount of water and avoid high temperatures.

The international cricket calendar has been working overtime recently. Especially with 2 big tours concluding and a few more about to start.
Bangladesh (The cricketing minnows) are steadily on the way up and looking back will be kicking themselves that from eight matches against Pakistan
they managed a duck. It is almost a quad-series going on this year between Pakistan, England, South Africa and Bangladesh. By September 12, two of the
three legs will have been completed if this was a true championship. It is now time to take time out and look at the big picture of where Bangladesh
It all starts back at the World Cup when none of the four teams mentioned made the Super Six. England forfeits a game against Zimbabwe and then
wins comfortable games against Holland and Namibia. Then came their first real challenge. England was up against the powerhouse of Pakistan. England
won comfortably by a good 112 runs and was poised for the Super 6 although left were two difficult games against both finalists, India and Australia.
England really struggled against India and lost by 82 runs, so a loss to Australia would put them out. This was Australia?s last game before the
Super Sixes and was undefeated leaving England rank underdogs. If it weren?t for a 7-wicket hall and a late order half century by Queensland
fast-bowler Andy Bichel, then England?s story could have been a lot different. Australia got home by 2 wickets.
Pakistan was very up and down throughout the World Cup. Starting off with a heavy loss against Australia due to a maiden century from Queensland
hard-hitter Andy Symonds. Pakistan thrashed Namibia by a whopping 172 runs, which honestly was no surprise. Then was the famous day-nighter against
England when they were chasing a mammoth total and fell well short. Pakistan was off to a poor start. Pakistan thankfully played their second
associate member in Holland and won by a comfortable 97 runs. Then came the long-awaited battle between two foes. Pakistan and India!!! Pakistan set a
modest total due to a splendid hundred by Pakistani opener Saeed Anwar. If Inzamam was not run out then Pakistan might have stood a chance. India
reached the total with 6 wickets to spare due to debatably the worlds best batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Pakistan had almost no chance of making the Super
Six and their World Cup hopes were washed away with a no-result against Zimbabwe.
In Group B we saw the tragedies of both South Africa and Bangladesh. Bangladesh hadn?t won a game for four years before the World Cup and
was desperate for wins against both Canada and Kenya. They were captained by wicket keeper Khaled Mashud who was to resign after the World Cup and
coached by Pakistani Mohsin Kamal. Bangladesh couldn?t have started worse with a 60 run loss to the hands of CANADA of all countries. A
ten-wicket loss followed in the next match with a hat trick by Chaminda Vaas with the first three balls of the match. Bangladesh managed to salvage
their only points of the tournament with a rain-abandoned match against the West Indies. The cricket ?boks of South Africa were
Bangladesh?s next task and once again were dispatched of by ten wickets. They were defeated by New Zealand by seven wickets in the fifth game
and the only way to salvage any pride from the cup would be a win against the giant-slayers of the competition Kenya. Sadly for Bangladesh they let
themselves down with too many dropped catches and handed a 32 run win to the Kenyans as they went into dance as an entrance to the Super Sixes.
The Cricket ?Boks of South Africa were on home soil and high chance of taking the cup away from the all-conquering Aussies. But it was not
to be. They were snuffed out by 3 runs in the tour opener against the West Indies in dramatic circumstances. Lance ?Zulu? Klusener smashed
South Africa back from the dead and almost saw them home but fell 3 runs short in the final over. That certainly was not the start they wanted to get
off to. South Africa then moved on to a comfortable win against Kenya. But it wasn?t all beer and skittles with Jonty Rhodes breaking his hand
and once it was announced that he would go back home he retired from the game. With that under their belt they moved onto the Kiwis. They started
perfectly hitting 6/306 with a magnificent 143 from Herschelle Gibbs. But the game was rain-interrupted and due to the Duckworth-Lewis system and the
fact that New Zealand had only lost 1 wicket, they reached their target of 1/229 in 36.5 overs due to a superb hundred by captain Stephen Fleming.
South Africa was in really bad shape halfway through the preliminary rounds. They comfortably disposed of Bangladesh but were left with 2 matches
against Canada and Sri Lanka. With the way the tournament went with Kenya winning as well as Sri Lanka and New Zealand it meant that South Africa
would need to win both their remaining games. They defeated Canada by a mammoth 118 runs and then moved onto a do-or-die match against Sri Lanka. Sri
Lanka hit 9/268 with Marvin Atapattu leading the runs with 124. In reply the South Africans went hard at the total but lost too many wickets along the
way. The factor was the rain and with one ball to go until it was washed out Mark Boucher needed 1run to move South Africa on. He found the fielder,
the game was washed out and for the second World Cup in a row, South Africa were kicked out with a draw
In the Aftermath of the World Cup all four teams opted for new captains to help them improve for the future.
England?s captain Nasser Hussain resigned after the World Cup and had made his intentions clear from very early. England decided to look to
the future and appointed 28-year-old superstar, Michael Vaughan to the captain?s job. England afterward experimented with numerous all-rounders
instead of Craig White.
Pakistan lost many players. Afterwards selectors went on a frenzy after their teams poor performance and dropped a lot of experienced players.
Among them were
Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saeed Anwar, Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis and Saqlain Mushtaq. Saeed Anwar later retired, as did Pakistani legend Wasim Akram. A lot of
the players dropped are only now regaining their place in the team.
Bangladesh lost both captain and coach. Khaled Mashud was later under suspicion with match-fixing and late-night shenanigans before the big
games. Mohsin Kamal was taking the team nowhere and the BCC grabbed Sri Lankan Dav Whatmore with whatever they could. Ex-Bangladeshi captain Akram
Khan retired from a wonderful career leaving more space to breed youngsters. Khaled Mahmud stepped into the shoes of the captain and is struggling to
keep his place on his own accords.
South African Shaun Pollock resigned too making 21-year-old Graeme Smith captain. The South African?s dropped likes of Pollock, Klusener
and Kallis afterwards and Herschelle Gibbs received a ban for being in with Hansie Cronje during his match-fixing days and took the ban as a
South Africa in England
On July 24, the South Africans departed for their biggest challenge of the year apart from the World Cup, taking on the talented England side.
Both were forward to the tour after their disappointing World Cups and with both captains being tested for the first time the tournament had major
importance. England lost veteran fast-bowler Andy Caddick for the year and replaced him with two test cricketers on their comeback. Left-handed
batsman Graham Thorpe and fast-bowled Darren Gough. This was also to be the last tour for Alec Stewart OBE, the 39-year-old wicket keeper with over
8000 test runs. For South Africa, Graeme Smith got his first ?real? challenge as test captain. Gibbs had come back from his ban and
Pollock was back in the side and Kallis was on the brink of return. The proteas were also trying out a few fast bowlers. They had previously toured
Bangladesh for 2 tests and ran rings around them. Jacques Rudolph being the standout on debut and the fast bowlers being tested.
The tour couldn?t have started any better for South Africa. On Day One of the first test at stumps they were 1/398. Herschelle Gibbs hitting a
superb 179 and Graeme Smith answering the call to critics who claimed him too young to captain South Africa to victory over the Poms. By stumps on day
three the Proteas had posted 5/594 with Graeme Smith hitting the years highest score of 277 and leaving South Africa almost no chance of a loss. The
English captain also hit a century in the most important test tour of his life. Leaving England all out for 408 early on Day Five. South Africa had a
lead of 186 and were looking for a declaration which occurred after Graeme Smith hit 85 to leave South Africa a slim chance of victory with England
needing 321 runs to win in just over a session. The English lost one wicket on their way to drawing the first test.
South Africa won the second test comfortably by an innings and 92 runs with captain Graeme Smith hitting another double ton to give South Africa a
first innings lead of 509. English all-rounder hit a quick fire 142 to restore some pride for the Poms. The English returned the tables in game 3
starting off with two centuries from Mark Butcher and Nasser Hussain. Notably Michael Vaughan hit only a single run. They salvaged an 83 first innings
lead after James Anderson ripped up the South African order with a 5-for. England then choked trying to set a large total and Shaun Pollock bounced
back with 6/39. South Africa chasing 202 collapsed in English style with Kirtley taking 6/34. James Kirtley was ?Man of the Match? for his
bowling spell to lead England to victory. The five test series was tied at 1-1 and could go either way but the good news for South Africa was that
Jacques Kallis had returned.
In Game 4 South Africa managed a 35 run lead with another hundred from Gary Kirsten and Jacques Kallis managed 3 wickets. The tournament was
?make or break? at this moment. If South Africa could manage a large total then England would struggle chasing in the fourth innings and
then South Africa would be in great position to claim the series and make up for their World Cup in February. But if they choked then England would
have a great chance of winning the tournament with home ground advantage and momentum. If England were to win in the context of the tours then England
would read as the better team. But as it turned out South Africa gave all they had and managed 365 with the batsman resisting the English bowlers.
Andrew Hall was left stranded on 99 and England were set with 401 to win in the fourth innings. An almost impossible task. Jacques Kallis took another
6 wickets to charge South Africa to victory. South Africa had defeated the Poms in fine style by 191 runs and were in pole position to prove to the
English that they were the better team.
In Game 5 the South Africans would be over the moon with there start needing just a draw to take the series. They hit 484 in the first innings with
Herschelle Gibbs continuing his form. They say you have to be really unlucky to loose a test match after hitting 400 but South Africa are no strangers
to bad luck. England amazingly managed a large first-innings lead, hitting 604 with a double ton by opener Marcus Trescothick and a century by Graeme
Thorpe. All these runs were scored at an incredible run rate leaving only a slim chance for the match to be drawn. South Africa would need at least
one century to stand any chance of winning the tournament. They only managed 229 and left England 110 for victory. The English managed to draw the
series 2-2 by winning the fifth and final game by 9 wickets. Marcus Trescothick was announced man of the match and duel Men of the Series were South
African captain, Graeme Smith and English all-rounder, Andy Flintoff.
The series was drawn 2-2 meaning that the teams finished equal after the series. It was obvious early on that the South Africans were the main side
early on due to two centuries from Graeme Smith in consecutive games. But full credit to the Poms for fighting back, using their ace find of the tour
Andy Flintoff. In he end they could have won game 4 and the series but the South Africans kept their nerve to save the tour 2-2. Home ground advantage
really helped the English, which might leave the South Africans as the better side. Yet they did much the same in the World Cup and South Africa had
the home ground advantage and England forfeited a game. So who is the better side?

Bangladesh in Pakistan
Bangladesh returned from a tour of Australia with their heads up and very much looking forward to get back into the sub-continent. Dav Whatmore the
Bangladeshi coach was desperate for improvement and that?s exactly what the Tiger?s did. Pakistan brought back Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saqlain
Mushtaq and Younis Khan for the tour and also gave birth to the likes of Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Hameed and Umar Gul.
Day One by Bangladesh?s standards went very well. Hitting 278 in a day (one of their highest all-time test totals) was a fine task and
Habibul?s 71 led the way. 170 on debut by Yasir Hameed saw Pakistan to a first innings lead of only 58. This read very well for Bangladesh,
especially after a fine hundred by Habibul Bashar. Sadly the rest of the Bangladeshi order couldn?t support him and they were all out for 274.
Yasir Hameed hit another century in the second innings leading Pakistan to a 7-wicket victory. A fine achievement by the Bangladeshis considering it
was there smallest ever loss. This appeared to be a much different side from the one that played in the World Cup under the captaincy of Khaled Mahmud
and he improvement under Dav Whatmore was immediate.
Bangladesh did an amazing job on Day One of the second test as the finished the day at 2/240. Javed Omar was well on his way to his maiden test
hundred and Habibul Bashar fell just short being dismissed for 97. The next day Javed Omar and Mohammad Ashraful soldiered on and moved Bangladesh to
2/310. Bangladesh were in a great position to win or draw the game but then started the collapse. One after one they headed back to the pavilion due
to a magnificent 6/50 by Shoaib Akhtar. Javed Omar however did manage to reach his first ever test century scoring 119. Bangladesh was eventually all
out for 361. Believe it or not the Pakistani?s choked as Mohammad Rafique picked up 5 wickets. Pakistan were all out for 295 and the innings was
wrapped up with the tail-end going in three consecutive balls from the hand of Alok Kapali, separated by an over but it was still the first
Bangladeshi hat-trick and he finished the innings with figures of 3/3. Bangladesh for the first time ever had a first innings lead and it was by a
total of 66 runs! But once again the Bangladeshi?s failed under pressure falling pray to Shoaib again as he finished with 10 for the match.
Bangladesh was all out for a pathetic 97. That left Pakistan 163 to win and managed it with one wicket down. The Bangladeshi?s had let their
country down and should have been extremely disappointed with the result. But undoubtedly the boys had improved and now were in contests with Pakistan
for test victory and that was certainly good news.
The Bangladeshi?s learned from their mistakes and once again gained a first innings lead of 106. But it wasn?t Bangladesh?s batting
that put them in such position. They only managed 281 but Mohammad Rafique and Khaled Mahmud taking 9 wickets between them brought the Pakistan
batsman down for the lowest ever total against Bangladesh of 175. Bangladesh would certainly not blow it like in game 2 and realised the importance
and had nothing to loose. Their second innings of 154 was nothing special but it left Pakistan to chase 261 in the fourth innings, no easy target. It
started perfectly for the tiger?s who had the opportunity of a lifetime. When Farhan Adil was dismissed by Mohammad Rafique, the
Pakistani?s were left reeling at 5/99. The Bangladeshi?s were pumped and the fans were even more so excited for their first ever test
victory. And at stumps Bangladesh considered themselves almost certainties to do so when Pakistan was 6/148. Only one man stood in their way,
Inzamam-ul-Haq the local legend. He played every shot in the book and batted with the tail-enders to lead Pakistan to victory. But Bangladesh
didn?t go down without a fight, they almost pulled it off and in the end only lost by 1 wicket. Well they didn?t win but they sure proved
that they deserved their test status and are a force to be reckoned with and with the amount of youngsters in the team many can see them going a long
The Pakistani?s won all five one-dayers and in only one of them did Bangladesh come close. When Pakistan pulled off a win with 2 balls
remaining. Umar Gul and Yousuf Youhana shone for Pakistan and half-centuries were scored by Alok Kapali, Rajin Saleh, and Hannan Sarker twice each.

South Africa in Pakistan
Going into the tournament the South Africans were clear favourites. Considering the Pakistani?s had a lot of youngsters and struggled against
Bangladesh. South Africa were recovering and a lot of their cricketers finding form against England. This would be their first serious win since the
World Cup. Should South Africa completely whitewash the Pakistani?s would that put South Africa and England in a different class to Bangladesh
and Pakistan? But now as Pakistan has a 2-0 lead in the One-Day series questions start to rise, should Pakistan win. Would this mean that Pakistan is
better than South Africa and England? Would this mean they would be one of the strongest sides in world cricket? If so where does that leave
Bangladesh? Does that mean that Bangladesh could be very competitive against South Africa and England? Is it right to rank a team that hasn?t
won an international match for 4 years amongst the might of South Africa and England? Looking at that we all hope that Pakistan doesn?t
whitewash South Africa because it would make where they all stand in the world of cricket very complicated.
England in Bangladesh
England goes to Bangladesh expecting a 2-0 and 3-0 win. But the boys from Bengal put up such a good fight against Pakistan. So perhaps they could
salvage one win from the tour on home soil. If so does that make Pakistan better than England? No matter what Pakistan should remain better than
Bangladesh considering their 8-0 win over the Bangladeshi?s. If Bangladesh can win just one game all these questions rise up and if Pakistan and
Bangladesh can do the un-expected in the tours staring this month, that makes them all around the same class. By November 12 Bangladesh might have
finally realised what having test status is about and by able to have a chance against Zimbabwe. By November 12 all should be much clearer, how good
these sides really are.

It's my turn on the Beauty Spotlight Team Desert Island. They decided that after the week I had with AT&T disconnecting me from my site, they thought I needed to a bit to "disconnect" deliberately, alone on a sandy beach. I'm all for that. But, I'll be damned if I am going there unprepared.
Thankfully, they are letting me take 12 things I think I'm going to need, and they have generously left me plenty of sunscreen and lip balm so I don't have to worry about those. I tried to be a wee bit practical (*well, as practical as you can be taking beauty products to a deserted island) and even tried to multi-task a few things, too.
Without further ado, let's check and see what I "needed" on the island:
Dermorganics Leave-In Treatment: My hair is going to take a beating from the sun and the salt water, so I am going to keep it coated with this sweet smelling argan oil to help keep it as healthy as possible.
Tweezerman Pointed Slant tweezers: This two way tweezer allows for regular slanted grooming, but it also has a really sharp point for fine detail work, whether it be on those teeny brow hairs that show up overnight or pulling out the inevitable splinter I am sure to get while trying to construct some type of shelter.
Mario Badescu SPF 30 Moisturizer: I know that I am going to be slathering on the sunscreen, but I am still going to need to moisturizer like a fiend to keep my skin soft after getting beat by the sun & salt water. And, adding in some more sunscreen sure won't hurt anything, either.
A bamboo towel: As every hitchhiker/traveler knows, a towel is one of the most important things you can have. And, if you can have one that is organic, absorbs faster than cotton AND is soft? Then you are richer than jewels – at least if you are stranded on a beach.
Mally Beauty "In The Buff" palette: Seriously, are you guys sick of me talking about this palette, yet? You had to know it was going to be on this list, esp since it includes the eyeshadow primer that locks in the color, even when I'm sweating on the beach. Plus, these colors look really good when applied wet, which is great since I am going to be surrounded by water!
Secret Clinical Waterproof Deodorant: It's a fact that you will get sweaty and nasty on the island. Yes, I know that I am not going to be around other people, but I don't want to smell myself. (*You *know* it's bad when you can smell yourself, right?). Enter the clinical strength deodorant. And since I am surrounded by water, AND sweating, to have a waterproof version is ideal.
Mally Beauty Volumizing Waterproof Mascara: We all know that I am rarely without mascara on. Except I *hate* waterproof mascara – it just feels heavy on my eyes, if that makes sense. So, color me surprised when I used a tube of Mally mascara, in the pink tube, for almost 3 months before I realized it was the waterproof formula. It just didn't feel like any waterproof formula I had tried before. And, that is why it is a no-brainer that I would include this one to go to the island with me, for sure.
Neosporin + Pain Relief: I am of a mind that Neosporin can heal almost anything short of a broken bone & even then it will do all it can to keep infection from getting in the broken skin. See? It's tough. And, add in pain relief? Yeah, it's a double duty helper. And, we all know that I *am* going to hurt myself in some way on this island, and I'm going to need this. Plus, if my skin starts rebelling, this can be used to help heal all kinds of eruptions that I have probably picked at and made worse, just from boredom.
Goody QuikStyle Comb: Playing in the surf is going to make my hair a tangled mess. That is where this comb, with its two rows of off-set teeth comes in. Its wide tooth style makes it super easy to detangle hair quickly, and even gets more water out of the hair at the same time. And, since I more than likely have a Scrunchie wrapped around the handle, I'm am calling that part of my comb and not a separate item in my product count. 😉 You can bet that I am definitely rocking a scrunchie on the deserted island, where I am free from the ridicule that some folks heap on me and my comfy ponytail wrap!
Tweezerman Tweezermate 12x Magnifying Mirror: I know that I am going to be bored, which means what better thing to do than obsess over the finer details of my face? And, remember, I *do* have some pointy tweezers to play with, too. Of course, the mirror can be used for other things, like, seeing around corners or starting fires, but we all know I'm going to sit there, staring at myself. It's going to happen.
Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser: I know I have told you guys about this Holy Grail eye makeup remover before, so you know there was no way I was going to this island without it. My eyes are just going to be roughed up with the salt water, so they are going to need to be soothed and this will do just that. Besides, I'm going to need to take that waterproof makeup off at some point, right?
Votre Vu Tarte D'Amande Souffle Riche Pour Le Corps: No matter how much sunscreen I am layering on, my skin is still going to be getting dried out from the sun and salt water. So, when I am laying on the beach, counting stars, I am going to have this delicious smelling, uber-rich lotion all over my body to try to keep it as supple as possible. If I'm going to have to put it on thick on the daily, I'm going to want something that I love smelling all the time. This more than takes care of that.
So, that's what I would take and why I needed to include'em in my pack. What about you? What beauty products would you take if you were stepping away from society for a bit?

Drop D
Like the alternate tuning equivalent of missionary sex, drop D is the first thing that everyone tries, mainly because it's dead simple and nothing gets snapped.
Dropping that low string a full step has given a seismic low- end toll to everything from RATM's Killing In The Name to Nirvana's Heart-Shaped Box, and few sensations in life are more satisfying than battering on a one-finger barre.
If a bearded man at a folk festival starts wittering on about his dad, it's the colloquial term for this evergreen tuning, thought to have made its recorded debut on Davey Graham's She Moved Through The Fair, and hitting global consciousness on Led Zeppelin's Kashmir.
Nashville tuning
Granted, it's a faff, requiring you to replace the wound E, A, D and G strings with lighter gauge ones (usually from a 12-string set), and raise them an octave over standard.
But if you're serious about nailing the tender shimmer of The Stones' Wild Horses, this is worth the punctured fingertips.
The Darkness Within tuning
Machine Head were drop-tune pioneers, but on last year's Unto The Locust they outdid themselves, tweaking drop B and thereby stumbling across the unholy middle section of Darkness Within.
"Without that tuning change," says lead guitarist Phil Demmel, "the solo wouldn't have happened."
Drop A
When drop D just isn't emptying your audience's bowels, there's always drop A: a pitch plummet that's been employed by legions of six- and seven- stringers on songs such as Slipknot's Psychosocial.
Oh, and go for strings thicker than telegraph wire.
The 'Nick Drake' tuning
Much of the late folk hero's dazzle came from his visionary voicings.
Arguably the best is Black Eyed Dog, whose double whammy of low Gs creates a hypnotic Eastern drone that makes onlookers think you're a world-music genius to rival Ravi Shankar.
C6 modal tuning
The young Jimmy Page was hugely influenced by Davey Graham's folk voicings, and added his own thumbprint to tuning folklore with the modal lilt of Bron-Yr-Aur from Physical Graffiti.
A few simple shapes and this tuning can make bricklayers weep.
The 'Iommi' tuning
Having lost the tips of two fingers in an industrial accident, by 1971's Master Of Reality, Tony Iommi found that plunging to a doomy C# took the pressure off his thimbles.
We suggest you do the same (drop tuning, that is, not the industrial accident).
Open G
1967 was a mixed bag for Keith Richards.
On one hand, he was jailed on drugs charges; on the other, he stumbled upon the open G tuning that powers immortal riffs from Honky Tonk Women and Brown Sugar.
For instant Keef-ness, try barring at the 5th fret and hammering on to the 6th fret and 7th fret on the second and fourth strings.

Last week, they met with the members of the Communities of Maspeth and Elmhurst Together (COMET) civic group.
Bob Whitehair, vice president of Queens Quiet Skies, joined dozens of concerned residents at Maspeth Town Hall on 72nd St. to discuss the reasons for the increased plane noise and present a plan to create a "roundtable" group to meet with the FAA.
"It's made up of elected officials, it's made up of representatives of the airlines, the airport and other stakeholders," he explained of the proposed roundtable. "We have a proposal and we have an MOU (memorandum of understanding) approaching people about being on it."
According to Whitehair, plane noise has spiked due to a lack of regulation compacted with more regimented flight patterns due to the modernization of airplane technology.
While the plan for organized talks with the FAA is still in the developmental stages, residents throughout the borough continue to feel the effects from the planes.
Aside from the loud scream from jet engines over her home at an unrelenting rate, Maspeth resident Kat Peluso added that she often smells fumes during high-traffic flight hours.
"As soon as you hear something, you smell fumes," Peluso said. "I thought people were barbecuing."
Peluso was joined at Maspeth Town Hall by several of her fellow community members as well as representatives from Congresswoman Grace Meng's office, Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer and others.
"The roundtable idea works and I would like to go into that direction," said State Senator Joseph Addabbo.
Addabbo encouraged residents to continue sending letters to the FAA citing their objections, however he reminded that the process is not going to provide instantaneous solutions.
"We're on a long road," Addabbo said. "The road has been paved, but it's a long road and we just have to keep on that road."
He added that a roundtable would provide a much-needed platform to come up with smarter and safer ways to organize air traffic.
"I believe that even with the increased amount of flights, there's enough water, there's enough empty land beneath us, both at LaGuardia and JFK, to utilize," he said.

Coach Clay Carlton and the Lourdes girls' basketball team knew what had to be done in order to insure success in their Tuesday home match up with Pawnee City.
Coach Clay Carlton and the Lourdes girls' basketball team knew what had to be done in order to insure success in their Tuesday home match up with Pawnee City.
The Knights had to find a way to slow down 6'1" post force Jenna Habegger and a potent scoring threat in guard Sierra Friedly.
And the Knights were up to the challenge.
Lourdes held Friedly scoreless through three quarters.
Habegger got off to a great start with an eight point first quarter, but was held to just nine points for the remaining three quarters.
The Knights shut out Pawnee City in the second quarter and held a 13-12 lead at half.
A 12-5 third quarter win gave the Knights the momentum they needed to close out a 33-25 win.
Kim Osovski had 11 points, while Sam Heng had six.
Other scorers were Madeline DuBois, five; Leah DeFreece, five; Kayla Jelken, four; and Sarah Warga, two.
Scoring aside, the Knights' win was definitely a credit to the team's defensive effort and rebounding position, which kept Habegger from being a major factor on the boards.
"We were physical," said Coach Carlton. "The girls are really tough. That was absolutely huge."
In addition to limiting Habegger, Coach Carlton said the work against Friedly was major as well.
"Nothing was wide open," Carlton said of Friedly's scoring chances. "We found her in our zone and shut her down."
Turning to the Knights' offense, Coach Carlton said his team must continue to work on scoring the ball, taking care of the ball and making good passes.
But he also noted that the Knights came through offensively when they had to have points.
"There were times we needed to score and we did," Carlton said. "They really stepped up to the challenge when they needed to."

Poor air quality has been associated with certain health risks for years, and one recent report focused on the possible relationship between pollution and medical issues. The study, which was published in the journal Heart, focused on the impact of air pollution on respiratory issues. Researchers analyzed data regarding heart attacks and hospital admissions from 2003 to 2009, and then compared the cases to the air quality at the time.
According to the study, short-term exposure to harmful particles increases the risk of having an irregular heartbeat. It also raises the odds of being diagnosed with blood clots in the lungs.
Despite these findings, however, there was some good news. In this study, air pollution was not found to have a correlation with heart attack or stroke. There was also no explicit link between pollutants and cardiovascular deaths.
Still, many individuals are wary of pollution and are taking steps to prevent it from becoming an issue in their homes. Some turn to medical-grade devices such as the IQAir GC MultiGas to help clear the air in a home. These home air purifiers can rid the air of a wide variety of irritants and pollutants, creating a safer and more comfortable environment.

Country Valley Veterinary Clinic
I am a small animal veterinarian about to start my own veterinary clinic. I will be seeing only dogs and cats (except for the occasional wounded wild critter). Like so many other veterinarians, I got into this for the love of the animal, and I have developed a passion for medicine during my time here. My favorite clients are those who use me as a resource and develop a plan with me for their beloved pets, but don't expect me to tell them "how it is." I view myself as a helper and a healer, not a dictator.
My clinic is in the country. I would like to attract people who love their pets and want compassionate, kind care, but my clients will not be millionaires (again, we are rural). Mutts are just as good as purebreds, in my book.
I am open to the use of my full name - Country Valley Veterinary Clinic - or the abbreviation CVVC. I would love a large breed dog (such as a Mastiff or Great Dane, etc.) and a kitten in the design. They should clearly like one another. Possibly the kitten could be touching the large dog's nose? But I am not an artist, which is why I am running this contest and need YOUR ideas. I would be open to medical symbols, but this is not necessary. Please, no clip art or animals other than a dog or cat. Lines should be as clean and uncomplicated as possible.

One price doesn't fit all online. Retailers adjust prices and discounts based on each customer's online habits and persona.
Travel website Orbitz says that it sometimes shows customers using Apple computers more expensive travel offers than Windows visitors, as the former typically spend 30% more, The Wall Street Journal reports. But that's just one of many variables sites use to set prices, e-commerce experts say. "It's common practice for retailers to make offers based on everything from your zip code to the kind of smartphone you're using," says Robert M. Weiss, technology practice group at Neal Gerber & Eisenberg, who notes the practice is legal so long as the vendor doesn't change prices based on race, religion or gender.
The customer's location in particular has a huge influence on the size and quality of discounts, experts say. For one, if a customer lives near one of the retailer's warehouses, it will cost less for the company to throw in two-day free shipping. "Retailers know that free shipping is a huge motivator to get people to buy," says Ashok Narasiman, CEO of Mountain View, Ca.-based e-commerce site Runa.com, which counts eBay among its clients. The climate or weather might also be a factor in snagging a deal: If an online retailer knows you're shopping from Seattle during the rainy season, it may charge more for raincoats in the same way street vendors raise umbrella prices during a downpour, says e-commerce consultant Bryan Eisenberg.
The sites visited prior to purchase also play a role in the retailer's price. Online retailers track consumers every move online through their "cookies" – little pieces of code stored on computers or mobile devices. Visiting an online retailer by clicking through an ad may make a discount less likely if the retailer has to pay the search engine for re-directing the customer, Narasiman says. Other sites reserve discounts for new customers only, says Feras Alhlou, co-founder of E-Nor.com, a digital analytics consulting firm in Santa Clara, Ca. "Existing customers need to delete their cookies to see these discounts too," he says.
Even the words entered into a search engine may impact prices, experts say. If a retailer knows a consumer searched for "size 10 patent leather men's shoes," the company might be more likely to give a $10 discount or throw in a free pair of socks, Narasiman says. These are known as "long-tailed" searches, he says. "The more detailed the search, the more likely the consumer will make a purchase," Narasiman says. He says it costs far more in marketing and advertising to win a customer back if they come to the site and leave without making a purchase. "If retailers feel they're close to buying but need that extra nudge with the right and relevant offer," Eisenberg says, "they will do just that."

Penguins Report: Game Day vs. Buffaloby Staff Writer / Pittsburgh Penguins
They grow up so fast.
After Sidney Crosby played in his 500th NHL game on Dec. 5 against San Jose, Pittsburgh's other superstar center Evgeni Malkin is set to reach the milestone tonight when the Penguins host the Sabres. Congratulations to Geno! Even though it was almost 10 years ago (wow), it seems like just yesterday that Pittsburgh selected the young Russian second overall in 2004...
He looks so young here! (Photo courtesy of Getty Images).
Malkin played his first NHL game for Pittsburgh on Oct. 18, 2006 against the New Jersey Devils, and scored his first NHL goal in that game against legendary Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur. Malkin went on to tally in each of his first six contests, becoming the first NHL player in 89 years to accomplish the feat. And the rest, as they say, has been history. Or I guess you could say he's been making history from the start.
Watch the one that started it all below (I didn't realize it had been such a controversial play, as Marty was not pleased). In the game recap from that night, this is how Malkin described the play: "(Mark) Recchi gave me a great pass right on the stick and I gave him a pass. I just went to the net and shot the puck."
Said his teammate Crosby, who gave the pumped-up Malkin a big celebratory hug afterward, "It was good for him to get the first goal, there was a lot of buildup for this and, hopefully, he'll get a lot more." That was an understatement...
And talking about his first game as a whole, Malkin said, "In the future, I think it is going to be easier." He certainly makes it look easy, that's for sure.

Head coach Dan Bylsma confirmed that Gibbons will be inserted into the lineup. Marc-Andre Fleury is in goal. The rest of the lineup is a game-time decision.
"I think it's tough for anyone who's injured, but especially being a call-up and a guy who doesn't have much experience at this level," Gibbons said of being forced to watch the last few games. "While you're up here you want to play. So it will be good to get back tonight and hopefully be ready to go."

All the Pens healthy players are on the ice for the morning skate, as well as injured Brian Gibbons (lower-body). Though it looks like Gibbons may get back in the lineup after missing five games with a lower-body injury. He was removed from IR on Saturday, and skated with Kunitz and Crosby in line rushes. The Pens used the following workflow...
(Ebbett, Kobasew)
PP1: Malkin, Letang up top. Crosby, Neal and Kunitz down low.
PP2: Niskanen, Martin up top. Gibbons, Jokinen and Sutter down low.

--Sam Kasan
Good morning hockey fans! Tonight the Pens host the Buffalo Sabres before they head out west for the first-ever Moms Trip. Here are some game notes to get you ready for the action...
- The Penguins host the Buffalo Sabres (TV: NBC Sports Network; Radio: 105.9 the X) at CONSOL Energy Center.
- Pittsburgh is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games.
- The Penguins are 15-4-1 in their last 20 games.
- The Penguins are 14-1 in their last 15 home games at CONSOL Energy Center.
- Pittsburgh has gone 10-4 in its last 14 overall meetings against Buffalo dating back to Feb. 1, 2010, and 17-7 in the past 24 meetings.
- The Penguins have scored at least one power-play goal in six of their last seven games against the Sabres. During that span they are 9-for-25 (36%).
- Here at CONSOL Energy Center, the Penguins have won six of the last nine games between these two teams.
- The Penguins have been perfect on the penalty kill against the Sabres in eight straight games here in Pittsburgh (18-for-18 during span). Buffalo's last man-advantage tally here in Pittsburgh came when Jason Pominville tallied in the third period of the Penguins' 5-4 victory on Feb. 1, 2010 at Mellon Arena. Since that goal, the Penguins have killed off 19 straight Buffalo power plays at Mellon Arena and CONSOL Energy Center.
Stick tap: Pens PR
Today we will open the day with a Buffalo band, since the Pens are playing the Sabres. We'll go with the Goo Goo Dolls, probably the most famous band to hail from the area (at least that I know of, but I plead ignorance here). The Goo Goo Dolls usually remind me of middle school dances and corny pop music. But they did have one really awesome song, "Ain't that Unusual" from the Angus soundtrack (honestly, how many great songs have come from that soundtrack. Classic).
Anyways, enjoy.

Nearly One-Third of Black Students Report Serious Disruptions and Distractions
New York City -- If an adult were forced to work in an environment where disrespect, bad language, fighting, drug and alcohol abuse and other bad behaviors are inflicted by a relative few, but tolerated or winked at by management, it might be considered a hostile workplace, a report released today by the nonpartisan research organization Public Agenda points out.
Substantial numbers of the nation's black and Hispanic students report conditions like these in their schools, according to a Public Agenda national survey of parents, middle and high school students and teachers. Asked to rate their schools on key academic and social dimensions - resources, promotion policies, dropout rates, truancy, fighting, drug and alcohol abuse and others -- black and Hispanic students are more likely than their white counterparts to report very serious problems in nearly every category.
In Reality Check 2006: How Black and Hispanic Families Rate Their Schools (the second report issued this year in the Reality Check 2006 series), Public Agenda found that American students have much in common regardless of racial or ethnic background. Majorities of all students back higher standards, say their teachers do a good job in most respects, and express some level of concern about lack of respect, profanity, and drugs and alcohol abuse in their schools. But for minority kids, academic problems like high dropout rates and kids getting passed through the system without learning, and social issues like profanity, disrespect for teachers and drug and alcohol abuse are far more prevalent and serious in their schools. According to the report, about 3 in 10 black youngsters attend schools with considerable turmoil:
Nearly half of Hispanic students (48%) report that their school has a very serious problem with kids dropping out.
Jean Johnson, Executive Director of Public Agenda's new initiative Education Insights and an author of the report said, This is not grumbling from a group of easily-shocked adults who haven't been inside a school in years and still havent come to grips with todays teen fashions. These are the judgments of young people themselves who say problems like truancy and disrespect for teachers are very serous in their schools -- not just 'somewhat serious,' but 'very serious.' A lot of these kids are highly aware that their schools are not serving them well, and that has to be discouraging.
Minority parents are also more likely to report serious academic and social problems in their schools. Half of black (49%) and Hispanic (52%) parents say that it is a very serious problem that local schools are not getting enough money to do a good job, compared to a third of white parents (33%). Minority parents are also twice as likely as white parents to say fighting and weapons are very serious issues and are more likely to question whether local school district superintendents do enough to ensure that schools are safe and orderly. Teachers in minority schools are more likely to complain about large classes, poor teaching conditions and lack of parental support.

Puriefoy, President of Public Education Network said, In a national school environment that monopolizes resources toward increasing performance on standardized tests, this new report from Public Agenda reminds us all of the need for additional investments in creating powerful learning environments, promoting respectful dialogue, ensuring student safety, and strengthening healthy school cultures. The perception gap between adults and students of different races and income levels exposes that we, as a nation, continue to tolerate a public education system that is separate and unequal.
This edition of Reality Check does include some particularly heartening findings for those who seek silver linings. Majorities of all students -- black (66%), white (72%) and Hispanic (71%) -- report that they have had a teacher who was able to get them interested in a subject that they hadn't really liked before. Additionally, most parents (61%), across racial and ethnic groups, believe their children's schools are better than the ones they attended when they were young.
When Will We Listen?
Much of the testing and standards debate has focused on disparities between minority students and others, but this research shows, yet again, that just looking at curriculum and testing while ignoring basic conditions in schools not only puts the cart before the horse, but leaves the horse unshod, unfed and wandering through the fields, Public Agenda President Ruth A. Wooden said. These findings suggest very strongly that rowdy, unsettled schools are a significant hurdle to learning for far too many minority youngsters. What we have here is the unambiguous testimony of students, parents and teachers in minority schools -- they want policymakers to make addressing the school environment a major priority.
About Reality Check 2006 Reality Check 2006 is a set of public opinion tracking surveys on important issues in public education. From 1998 through 2002, Public Agenda conducted an annual survey of parents, teachers, students, employers and college professors covering standards, testing and accountability. In 2005 and 2006, Public Agenda revised and updated these surveys to cover a broader range of issues, including high school reform, school leadership, teacher preparation and quality, school funding and other issues. The tracking survey will be repeated periodically as a service of Public Agenda's Education Insights initiative.
Funding for Reality Check was provided by the GE Foundation, the Nellie Mae Education Foundation and The Wallace Foundation.
For the full report go to: http://publicagenda.org/reports/reality-check-2006-issue-no-2
The findings in Reality Check 2006: How Black and Hispanic Families Rate Their Schools are based on two focus groups with parents and telephone interviews with a national random sample of 1,379 parents of children now in public school, 1,342 public school students in grades 6 through 12, and 721 public school teachers. Interviews with parents and were conducted between October 30 - December 18, 2005, interviews with students were conducted between October 30 - December 29, 2005 and interviews with teachers were conducted between November 19, 2005 - March 7, 2006. The margin of error for the sample of parents is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points; the margin of error for the sample of students is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points; the margin of error for the sample of teachers is plus or minus 4 percentage points. It is higher when comparing percentages across subgroups. Full survey results can be found at www.publicagenda.org.
Public Agenda is a nonprofit organization dedicated to nonpartisan public policy research. Founded in 1975 by former U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Daniel Yankelovich, the social scientist and author, Public Agenda is well respected for its influential public opinion surveys and balanced citizen education materials.

It's official: the 2012 season of Oakley Progression Sessions has kicked off at Le Massif de Charlevoix in Quebec. With good snow, warm weather, and a crew of excited and wicked riders, this season of OPS is off to an awesome start!
Quebec is a breeding ground for professional snowboarders and skiers. There is something about the icy, East Coast mountains and rail-populated urban landscape that has turned out a quantity of quality athletes. Marie-France Roy grew up riding at Le Massif de Charlevoix. Professional skier, Kim Lamarre grew up a few hours away, and Dominique Vallee and Kaya Turski are originally from Montreal. With these women, along with Head Coach, Christine Savage, the lone tourist, as the coaching crew, a population of passionate local snowboarders and skiers, and the opportunity to get more women stoked on park riding, Le Massif was a natural choice for OPS to expand into international territory.
"I'm so stoked to be at my home mountain," said Marie. "Le Massif has changed and grown so much since I started snowboarding here. I'm so happy that the place where I took my first turns and learned how to snowboard is the first Canadian OPS stop."
A sold out weekend of forty women arrived bright and early Saturday morning to register, pick out custom Oakley Crowbar goggles, and pick up their stacked Oakley gift bags, filled with gifts from sponsors Muscle Milk, Zico, Coola, Aerial 7, and Unite 7Seconds. After a warm-up yoga session with Dom Vallee leading stretching, the girls split into skill level groups and headed out into the snow.
The friendly crew at Le Massif put together a solid private park for the OPS women: a small jump, a mini hip, and a variety of jibs, including flat rails, a flat box, and a mailbox. Being able to session a private park has been a key to instilling confidence in OPS women for whom park riding is a new experience, and more advanced riders are able to come back to the smaller features to dial in new tricks.
The day was perfect. Pow slashes on the sides of the trails started off the morning. Right before lunch, the sun broke out and the day remained bluebird the whole afternoon. By midmorning, women were cheering and applauding for their peers as they tried new tricks. It sounds almost cheesy, but the positivity and support at OPS weekends is unbelievable and is solid fuel for progression.
Said Coach Christine Savage, "We had a bunch of girls hit their first box and do their first grabs today. There were so many girls trying things they'd never attempted and pushing themselves out of their comfort zones, it was amazing." One OPS lady, Diana, felt sure that hitting a box for the first time wasn't going to go well, and she cleared the whole thing on her third try. That is what Oakley Progression Sessions is all about.
The ladies of OPS at Le Massif started the weekend off strong today, and tomorrow there's plenty more to come. Stay tuned for more from OPS: Le Massif.
See the day 2 recap here.

Geography LessonsWant to learn your family history? Get a degree in geography.
Many beginning researchers believe that the most important documents they can find on their family are birth certificates, marriage licenses, and burial records. While all of these are vital, don't overlook another crucial family history document—the hard-to-fold but indispensable map.
When doing family history research, it's important to put your ancestors not only in their place in time, but also in their place in geography. Our ancestors, just like us, were going actual places. If you have never been to those places yourself, looking at a map gives you a better understanding of how your ancestors lived their lives.
If family legend relates the story of Great-Grandpa going to visit Great-Grandma every Friday before they were married, one learns a lot more about their dedication to each other if the two towns are thirty miles apart.
This is the tiny island where my paternal line comes from. Can any of you aspiring cartographers identify it? I'll send a few The Generations Project Season One episodes on DVD to the first person to correctly answer.
In the meantime, start looking around and asking relatives about ancestral locations. You never know what you might learn from looking at a map. Just don't ask me how to get it folded back up correctly when you're done.

Post subject: forbidden rice?
I was wondering if anybody has suggestions for using this beautiful, black rice? I worry that it will discolor other foods if I mix it with other ingredients, but I'm not a huge fan of eating plain rice, no matter how pretty it is!

Minkey, I'm not familiar with 'forbidden rice' - is it another name for wild rice, or for black glutinous rice, or is it something else altogether?

Thanks, Madame, for the learning and the recipes. I like your custard idea though. (Plus, maybe that way there is at least a
the 12-year-old of the house will try it!
The thing I have seen suggested a lot is just to use the rice as a bed, esp. for sea food. But I don't eat the animals, so that doesn't help me.
I am dying to find your book -- it sounds really fun. I have unofficial agreement with the local bookseller to help them stay in business, so hopefully I will get it soon!
PS, how hot is it? We are supposed to be having Autumn, but we hit 90 yesterday in AZ!

Post subject: Forbidden Rice: A simple recipe (with chocolate!)
Forbidden rice is called "pirurutong" in the Philippines. It is almost black uncooked, but turns into lovely dark brownish purple hue when cooked. The most common use probably is in a Filipino delicacy, called
"puto bumbong"
. It is often sold by street vendors around Christmastime. Said vendors can be found just outside in the churchyards as you attend the 9 days of early-morning masses before Christmas. I'm not providing a recipe for
puto bumbong
because it can be a bit tricky to prepare without the necessary equipment, traditionally thin bamboo tubes. After cooking, the rice is slid out of the tubes and onto banana leaves, where they are spread with a bit of butter and sprinkled with fresh grated coconut and sugar. I've heard that similar preparations are done in China and Malaysia.
What I will share is a dish we call "champorado", different from the Mexican champurrado which is a drink. Our champorado is basically a chocolate rice porridge, a favorite comfort food especially during the rainy season.
To prepare champorado, cook the forbidden rice in a saucepan, in water about 2 1/2-3 x the amount of rice -- it is supposed to be a bit soupy, but adjust according to individual tastes. Add cocoa powder and sugar to taste. (The traditional preparation uses cocoa tablets called "tablea", so if you can find a brand called Antonio Pueo (Asian stores, Filipino aisle) you'd be closer to the real thing.) Serve hot, topped with a swirling of evaporated milk.

Thanks so much for the advice, Madame and Stefoodie!
I wanted to try the custard idea, with some coconut milk in it maybe and some mangoes -- I thought something brightly colored would set off the rice so nicely. But, even the guy at the India Market didn't have ripe mangoes.
So, I tried a risotto recipe -- I thought arborio was needed for risotto? Anyhoo, the recipe (http://www.balancetv.ca/balancetv/client/en/home/DetailRecipe.asp?id=256&pg=) was simple and my roommates (fiance and daughter) liked it. I thought it was okay but not that exciting.
More experimentation required... have to try champorado next...

Perhaps one may wonder what a day in the life of one of the world's leading glaucoma specialists is like. (Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged in a characteristic pattern. This can permanently damage vision in the affected eye[s] and lead to blindness if left untreated. It is normally associated with increased fluid pressure in the eye.)
And perhaps the wonder becomes even more fascinating when one learns said specialist is also an 80-year-old, 50-plus year Chestnut Hill resident and Renaissance Man (poet, fiction writer, pianist and organist, composer, award-winning gardener) who weaves his time spent with patients and the pen together like a master Persian rug maker.
For George Spaeth, M.D., the day begins around 5:30 a.m. On June 13, Spaeth's public day concluded with a reading from "Family Voices" (Xlibris Corporation, 2011), his collection of poems, stories and editorials written by himself and four generations of various family members, at St. Paul's Church in Chestnut Hill at 7 p.m.
Before he headed to work that morning at the Wills Eye Institute in Center City, where he now serves as the Louis J. Esposito Research Professor and served as its director of glaucoma service and research laboratories from 1968 to 2007, Spaeth looked over papers for a talk he was scheduled to give in Copenhagen in the days that followed his "Family Voices" event.
He arrived at Wills around 6:30 a.m. and began to see patients. His visits included a patient afflicted with a rare form of glaucoma that presented challenges for Spaeth and required a creative treatment.
"Some of them I can't quite figure out what's happening," said Spaeth about his patients' varying conditions. "I have to put on my thinking cap and try to find ways that work."
The day continued. He discussed research projects with young medical residents. One voiced her interest in furthering a study that purports that there is a direct relationship between the rate one walks 40 feet and how long that person will live. The young researcher is interested in expanding that study to include figures that investigate the relationship between the change in the rate an individual walks 40 feet as it's recorded at different times. She wondered, how could Spaeth help?
Spaeth left Wills around 6 p.m. and on his way home talked to the Local before he slipped into his kitchen for a brief meal and hustled out to make it to St. Paul's for his "Family Voices" reading.
"I am now eighty/Younger people question me/I answer: wisely?" writes Spaeth, who was raised in Mt. Airy and attended Germantown Friends School ('50) before studying history at Yale University ('54).
He then went to Harvard Medical School (HMS), where a sickness caused him to miss a year. During his absence he started to write poetry. He graduated from HMS in 1959, then interned at the University of Michigan before attending the University of Pennsylvania for graduate school ('61). That was followed by a two-year residency at Wills. He worked in his father's ophthalmology practice in the city before focusing on glaucoma. In 1959 he bought a home in Chestnut Hill and has lived there since, where he and his wife, Ann Ward Spaeth, raised three children — Kristin, George Jr. and Eric. They also have three grandchildren.
"I don't know whether I'm wiser," said Spaeth about what he knows at age 80 versus what he knew at 20. "At age 20 I think I was just doing things. Now I think I'm much more aware."
He's more aware about his passion for life. He listens better. And is more in awe of the wonder of the miracle of this thing called living. He points to the teachings of Socrates to indicate out how little he knows, how much he has to learn.
"The only thing that made [Socrates] wiser than his compatriots is that he knew he didn't know too much," said Spaeth.
It's those insights one learns along the way, tributes to life and more that fill the 600 pages of "Family Voices." His family's unusual history, including many of whom attended Harvard and a best-selling New York Times author, inspired Spaeth to create the book. To compile the writing he wrote to relatives, introduced the idea and asked for anyone who wanted their work to be published in the book to send it his way.
If his family members have anything close to the vibrancy running through their veins that Spaeth's life demonstrates, the book must be provocative.
Throughout his career, Spaeth has published more than 360 articles in peer-reviewed journals, hundreds of commentaries in various formats, over 100 book chapters, around 200 editorials and 18 books, which have been translated into other languages, including Chinese. His surgical text, now in its fourth edition, is used in various countries around the world, and he serves on the editorial board for six journals.
Fellows he has trained work in 34 countries on six continents and include the current or past presidents of the American, European, Chinese, Pan-Arab-African, Brazilian and Chilean Glaucoma Societies. Spaeth himself founded and served as the first president of the American Glaucoma Society. And as a young resident at Wills, he discovered the disease homocystinuria and published the early work on the condition.
In addition, Dr. Spaeth is an emeritus member of the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Ballet and the Philadelphia Bach Festival, and composes and plays music on the piano and organ at his summer home on Squirrel Island in Maine. His flower and vegetable garden won first prize in the City Garden's contest of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society in 2004.
Perhaps it his outlook on life and his understanding that have contributed to his success. "A physician's job is to try to create environments which will encourage people to be healthy," he said. "We don't heal anybody. We make it possible for people to heal themselves … The scientific part is the easy part … Nobody can take care of anyone else unless they know who they are."
Well, who is George Spaeth?
"I'm still learning," he said.
"Family Voices" is available online at Amazon.com
