Hiking on Angel Island is an inspiring way to take in the sights of San Francisco Bay step by step. San Francisco Bay is the largest estuary on the west coasts of North and South America! Estuaries are highly productive ecosystems playing critical roles as fish nurseries and providing habitat for many bird species.
It was an invigorating day full of variety and outdoor exploration for everyone onboard the inaugural voyage of National Geographic Venture! Angel Island served as a backdrop to our water activities; buildings from the mid-1800s to mid-1900s reminding us of the island’s history with its military garrisons, old hospitals, guard houses, and quarantine and immigration stations. Later, we put our legs to work and hiked all over Angel Island, taking in 360-degree views of San Francisco Bay: the Golden Gate Bridge, city skyline, Alcatraz, Treasure Island, Marin Headlands, and so much more. Red-tailed hawks soared overhead and vultures rode thermals over the coastline. Black-tailed deer were completely at peace with our presence as we shared their trails amongst eucalyptus and oak. Angel Island is truly a jewel in the backyard of San Francisco with its incredible views, abundant wildlife, and rich history.

The field includes four teams from the SEC, three from the ACC and Pac 12, one from the Big 10 and one from the Big 12.
This will be Clemson’s sixth tournament of the year and second this spring. The Tigers have a 48-32-2 record against the field in the previous five events. Clemson returned Tuesday night from a 16th place finish at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic. J.T. Horton’s team will take two freshmen, two juniors and a sophomore to this year’s All-state Sugar Bowl Tournament.
Field: Alabama, Arizona, Clemson, Denver, Florida, LSU, Miami (FL), Michigan State, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Texas, Tulane, UC Davis, UCF, UCLA, Virginia.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Kevin Durant scored 25 points, James Harden added a spark with 23 points off the bench while returning from an injury and the Oklahoma City Thunder ended a string of futility against the Houston Rockets with a 122-104 victory.
The Thunder got out to a sizzling start and opened a 23-point lead within the first 14 minutes. Their lead was never in jeopardy against a Houston team desperately needing a late charge to make the playoffs.
Instead, Oklahoma City used its second-best shooting performance of the season to take a big step toward solidifying its spot in the postseason.
Luis Scola scored 25 and Trevor Ariza added 20 points for Houston, which fell seven games behind Oklahoma City and 51/2 behind eighth-place Portland in the Western Conference.
BOSTON - Paul Pierce scored 27 points, Kevin Garnett had 20 and the Boston Celtics clinched a playoff berth with a win over the Denver Nuggets.
The Celtics dominated inside and the Nuggets, one day after losing to the Knicks in New York, slipped a half-game behind the Dallas Mavericks and into a third-place tie with Utah in the Western Conference with their third consecutive loss.
Boston led by 21 points twice in the third quarter before Denver cut the lead to 87-80 going into the fourth. But the Celtics stayed ahead by seven to 16 the rest of the way for their fifth win in six games. Rajon Rondo had a triple-double with 11 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds.
Carmelo Anthony led Denver with 32 points and J.R. Smith added 21.
TORONTO - Deron Williams had 18 points, 16 assists and eight rebounds, leading the Utah Jazz to victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Carlos Boozer added 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Mehmet Okur and rookie Wesley Matthews had 16 points apiece for the Jazz, who won their third straight. Seven Jazz players finished with at least 12 points.
Chris Bosh celebrated his 26th birthday with a 20-point performance for the Raptors (35-35), who fell 11/2 games behind Charlotte and Miami in the race for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
Antoine Wright had 10 of his 15 points in the second quarter for the Raptors, while Andrea Bargnani added 12 and Jose Calderon 10.
ATLANTA - Josh Smith swooped in to slam through Joe Johnson's missed shot just ahead of the buzzer and the Atlanta Hawks finally beat the Orlando Magic, clinching a third straight trip to the playoffs.
The Hawks bounced back from an early 15-2 deficit and overcame going 8:45 in the fourth quarter without a field goal against a division rival that had routed them three times this season. For Atlanta, it came down to the final shot of regulation for the fifth straight game.
INDIANAPOLIS - Danny Granger scored 31 points to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Washington Wizards and extend Washington's losing streak to a franchise record-tying 13 games.
Andray Blatche started for the Wizards a night after he was benched for most of the game following a spat with coach Flip Saunders.
The Wizards last lost 13 straight in 1995. They can set a record for futility Friday at Charlotte.
It was Granger's third straight game with at least 30 points. Josh McRoberts had 14 points and a career-high 12 rebounds for the Pacers, who have won four in a row overall and six straight at home.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Stephen Jackson shook off a sore hand and busted out of his shooting slump with 37 points, leading the Charlotte Bobcats past Minnesota to send the reeling Timberwolves to their 14th straight loss.
Jackson, who a night earlier revealed he had been plagued by a bruised ligament near his left index finger, hit 15-of-24 shots after shooting 37 percent in the previous 10 games. Gerald Wallace added 23 points as the Bobcats shot 54 percent from the field and moved into sixth place in the Eastern Conference with their sixth straight home win.
Al Jefferson scored 21 points for the Timberwolves, who came apart in a 20-0 Charlotte run in the second quarter to drop to 5-32 on the road.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Brook Lopez had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and New Jersey Nets moved a step closer to avoiding a dubious date with NBA history by beating the Sacramento Kings to snap an eight-game losing streak and a franchise-record, 14-game skid at home.
Devin Harris added 24 points and nine assists for the Nets (8-63), who need to win once in their last 11 games to avoid breaking the league mark for fewest wins in a season (9-73), set by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1972-73.
Nets interim coach Kiki Vandeweghe guided the team despite learning of the death of his mother, former Miss America Colleen Kay Hutchins, earlier in the day.
Beno Udrih had 19 points for the Kings, who lost the eighth time in 11 games.
MILWAUKEE - Rookie Jrue Holiday had 15 points and seven assists, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a victory over the Bucks that snapped Milwaukee's longest home winning streak in six years at eight games.
It was a dismal display for Milwaukee, which had won 15 of the last 17 to virtually assure a postseason berth for the first time since 2006.
Instead, Samuel Dalembert had 12 points and 10 rebounds, Willie Green scored 16 points and Andre Iguodala 14 as the Sixers poured it on for their third win in the last 16 games.
Jerry Stackhouse scored 15 points and rookie Brandon Jennings added 12 for Milwaukee, but the Bucks shot 5 of 28 from 3-point range and led only once in the game, 3-0.
NEW ORLEANS - LeBron James scored an efficient 38 points on 15 of 22 shooting to go with nine assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers won their eighth straight game, over the New Orleans Hornets.
J.J. Hickson scored 20 for the Cavs, who led by as many as 17 and never trailed after James' floater tied it at 10 in the first quarter. Delonte West added 15 points and Antawn Jamison had 11 points and 11 rebounds as Cleveland won its 27th straight over a team with a losing record.
Marcus Thornton scored 20 points and Darren Collison added 17 for the Hornets, who will be eliminated from the playoffs if Portland wins today. David West added 16 points.

Apparently when you have a blog, one of the obligatory posts at the end of each year is some sort of year in review. I’m going to do a couple things. First, I’m going to highlight the top 10 posts from the past year. By that, I mean the most clicked-on posts according to the stat counter. I have no idea if objectively they are the “top” posts.
This is an important topic, to be sure, but Top 10? Okay.
9. My ______ Isn’t Producing! What’s Wrong?
This is definitely one of the most common questions we get every year. People want fresh veggies as soon as possible, and it’s perturbing when they don’t appear right away!
8. What is the “Best” Tomato to Plant?
Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone reading this post got their question answered, since I essentially told them that they are asking the wrong question. First, determine what you value in a tomato plant, then pick the plant that fits!
7. What’s Eating the Spinach?
I know no one got a satisfactory answer from this post when they visited, because we never really determined what was eating our spinach either.
A closeup picture of the tomato trellis we used in the Family of 4 Garden. I think this post is hanging on the coat-tails of one of the top 5 posts.
5. My Tomato is Rotting!
Ah, Blossom End Rot, the disease that is not a disease. Such a ghastly looking tomato it causes too!
Okay, I’ll guarantee you that people ended up on this post because they were searching for “fuzzy white caterpillar.” I hope they weren’t looking for anything other than pictures of cute, fuzzy white caterpillars. FYI, they are probably some type of tussock moth, but I’m not a bug girl, so don’t quote me on that.
The Family of 4 Garden and the plan for the garden that launched this whole blog project!
What’s not to love about big, orange, gooey, gloppy balls of stuff that show up on cedar trees in the rainy weather of spring? Well, a lot, actually. They don’t hurt the cedar trees, but I’m not a fan of what they do to apples!
The most popular post for the year: a look at the 3 different methods of training and trellising tomatoes that we used in the Demonstration Garden this summer!
There you have it! I’ll be back after the New Year to start sharing our plans for the 2010 Demonstration Garden.
Not much going on in the garden this week, and there probably won’t be for a few weeks. You’ll have to excuse me if all I get around to for the next few weeks is a couple posts here and there. Next Friday is Christmas! Can you believe it? Things will start happening again by the end of January, when we start planning the garden for next year!
This week I’m reviewing the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange Catalog. SESE is a lot like Seed Savers Exchange, except, well…they’re Southern! They are based in Virginia, and a lot of their seed growers also reside in the south. The reason this is important, is their seeds are grown and saved in hot, humid regions, so they are likely well-adapted to dealing with our hot climate. It might be interesting to try the same varieties from both Seed Savers and Southern Exposure just to see if there are any differences in how they perform for us here in Kansas.
SESE has a number of “new” items this year, but I’m mostly going to highlight some varieties that they have, but might be hard to find elsewhere.
Purple Podded Yard Long Bean – This pole bean is a type of asparagus bean, or Chinese yard long bean. This particular bean is a very vigorous grower and has gorgeous dark purple beans that retain the purple color when stir-fried. You need a big trellis!
Pole Lima Beans – SESE has a nice selection of Pole Lima Beans that are hard to find otherwise. Black Knight Butterbean is a new variety that sounds intriguing. Violet’s Multi-Colored Butterbean is hilarious to grow, because every pod yields different colored beans. I’ve always thought it would be fun to try to isolate and breed individual varieties out of this variety.
Tashkent French Marigold – Okay, this seems like a really interesting French Marigold variety, but I have to be honest that it is mostly intriguing to me because it was found in Uzbekistan, and I find Uzbekistan an intriguing country. It is also supposedly sweet smelling, rather than astringent like most marigolds.
Asian Tempest Garlic – What’s not to love with a name like Asian Tempest? This is a very hot garlic raw, but mellow after roasting. Of course, we are past the planting window for garlic now, but keep it in mind for next year!
Grey Griselle Shallot – SESE is one of the only sources I’ve found in the U.S. for French Grey Shallots. Prized for French cooking, some consider these shallots the only “true” shallot. As with the garlic, we are past the planting time for this year.
Have a great weekend! Get all that Christmas shopping done!
I finally received my 2010 Johnny’s catalog this week. Not that I’m impatient or anything, but they have had their new 2010 items up on their brand new, sparkly website for a couple weeks now. I had to work really hard to wait to do this review until I actually had a catalog. So, without further ado, here are 5 interesting items from their catalog this year.
‘Albion’ Strawberry – This is a day-neutral (potential to fruit from spring to frost, but often doesn’t in the middle of the hot summer here), that has a great flavor. I tried these out in Oregon and found them quite delicious. They also have good disease resistance, not to mention that perfect strawberry shape.
‘Tempo’ Artichoke – A purple globe artichoke that produces in only 100 days, so it can be grown as an annual. I’m curious to see how well it tolerates our heat.
‘Purple Pak’ & ‘Deep Purple’ Carrots – This whole purple carrot business is making me a little dizzy. Last year they had ‘Purple Rain’ which is nowhere to be seen this year, and ‘Deep Purple’ was on the website, but had a seed failure. Now there is ‘Purple Pak’ and ‘Deep Purple’ is apparently in stock. Still, I have a fondness for purple carrots, so I doubt I’ll be able to resist.
Ice Plant – Buried in the Micro Mix Varieties is this gem. Ice plants are frequently grown as ornamentals, but their succulent leaves are also edible. They have juicy leaves that are flavored with a hint of saltiness and lemon.
‘Red Cardinal’ Spinach – This is a replacement for the ‘Bordeaux’ Spinach that we had out in the garden this year. It has more oval leaves than ‘Bordeaux’ and a more upright habit. It also has red stems and veins.
‘Sprite’ Honeydew – This isn’t exactly new, but it is new to Johnny’s. You might have seen the “Sprite” honeydew melons in grocery stores, but now you can grow them at home! These are little, 1 lb. melons with white flesh.
The wintery weather followed by cold temperatures today has frozen the garden pretty solid.
The spinach leaves are like ice cubes. They will probably thaw out in a couple days when it is warmer and do just fine. In fact, this picture was from yesterday morning, and even this afternoon, they are thawing out.
Likewise the Swiss Chard…while the bigger leaves are probably toast, the young central leaves will probably keep growing if it warms up again.
The Brussels Sprouts have reached the end of their lives…not because they can’t take the cold, but because I sawed them off this afternoon.
I sawed them off with a pruning saw. Rather interesting – the center of the stems was hollow. I don’t know if this was just the result of normal growth or if some insect had bored in. The plants are frozen solid, but they should thaw out just fine in the corner of my office. I’ll snap the sprouts off in a day or two.

Apparently when you have a blog , one of the obligatory posts at the end of each year is some sort of year in review . I ’m going to do a couple things . First , I ’m going to highlight the top 10 posts from the past year . By that , I mean the most clicked - on posts according to the stat counter . I have no idea if objectively they are the “ top ” posts .
 This is an important topic , to be sure , but Top 10 ? Okay .
 9 . My _ _ _ _ _ _ Is n’t Producing ! What ’s Wrong ?
 This is definitely one of the most common questions we get every year . People want fresh veggies as soon as possible , and it ’s perturbing when they do n’t appear right away !
 8 . What is the “ Best ” Tomato to Plant ?
 Unfortunately , I do n’t think anyone reading this post got their question answered , since I essentially told them that they are asking the wrong question . First , determine what you value in a tomato plant , then pick the plant that fits !
 7 . What ’s Eating the Spinach ?
 I know no one got a satisfactory answer from this post when they visited , because we never really determined what was eating our spinach either .
 A closeup picture of the tomato trellis we used in the Family of 4 Garden . I think this post is hanging on the coat - tails of one of the top 5 posts .
 5 . My Tomato is Rotting !
 Ah , Blossom End Rot , the disease that is not a disease . Such a ghastly looking tomato it causes too !
 Okay , I ’ll guarantee you that people ended up on this post because they were searching for “ fuzzy white caterpillar . ” I hope they were n’t looking for anything other than pictures of cute , fuzzy white caterpillars . FYI , they are probably some type of tussock moth , but I ’m not a bug girl , so do n’t quote me on that .
 The Family of 4 Garden and the plan for the garden that launched this whole blog project !
 What ’s not to love about big , orange , gooey , gloppy balls of stuff that show up on cedar trees in the rainy weather of spring ? Well , a lot , actually . They do n’t hurt the cedar trees , but I ’m not a fan of what they do to apples !
 The most popular post for the year : a look at the 3 different methods of training and trellising tomatoes that we used in the Demonstration Garden this summer !
 There you have it ! I ’ll be back after the New Year to start sharing our plans for the 2010 Demonstration Garden .
 Not much going on in the garden this week , and there probably wo n’t be for a few weeks . You ’ll have to excuse me if all I get around to for the next few weeks is a couple posts here and there . Next Friday is Christmas ! Can you believe it ? Things will start happening again by the end of January , when we start planning the garden for next year !
 This week I ’m reviewing the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange Catalog . SESE is a lot like Seed Savers Exchange , except , well … they’re Southern ! They are based in Virginia , and a lot of their seed growers also reside in the south . The reason this is important , is their seeds are grown and saved in hot , humid regions , so they are likely well - adapted to dealing with our hot climate . It might be interesting to try the same varieties from both Seed Savers and Southern Exposure just to see if there are any differences in how they perform for us here in Kansas .
 SESE has a number of “ new ” items this year , but I ’m mostly going to highlight some varieties that they have , but might be hard to find elsewhere .
 Purple Podded Yard Long Bean – This pole bean is a type of asparagus bean , or Chinese yard long bean . This particular bean is a very vigorous grower and has gorgeous dark purple beans that retain the purple color when stir - fried . You need a big trellis !
 Pole Lima Beans – SESE has a nice selection of Pole Lima Beans that are hard to find otherwise . Black Knight Butterbean is a new variety that sounds intriguing . Violet ’s Multi - Colored Butterbean is hilarious to grow , because every pod yields different colored beans . I ’ve always thought it would be fun to try to isolate and breed individual varieties out of this variety .
 Tashkent French Marigold – Okay , this seems like a really interesting French Marigold variety , but I have to be honest that it is mostly intriguing to me because it was found in Uzbekistan , and I find Uzbekistan an intriguing country . It is also supposedly sweet smelling , rather than astringent like most marigolds .
 Asian Tempest Garlic – What ’s not to love with a name like Asian Tempest ? This is a very hot garlic raw , but mellow after roasting . Of course , we are past the planting window for garlic now , but keep it in mind for next year !
 Grey Griselle Shallot – SESE is one of the only sources I ’ve found in the U.S. for French Grey Shallots . Prized for French cooking , some consider these shallots the only “ true ” shallot . As with the garlic , we are past the planting time for this year .
 Have a great weekend ! Get all that Christmas shopping done !
 I finally received my 2010 Johnny ’s catalog this week . Not that I ’m impatient or anything , but they have had their new 2010 items up on their brand new , sparkly website for a couple weeks now . I had to work really hard to wait to do this review until I actually had a catalog . So , without further ado , here are 5 interesting items from their catalog this year .
 ‘ Albion ’ Strawberry – This is a day - neutral ( potential to fruit from spring to frost , but often does n’t in the middle of the hot summer here ) , that has a great flavor . I tried these out in Oregon and found them quite delicious . They also have good disease resistance , not to mention that perfect strawberry shape .
 ‘ Tempo ’ Artichoke – A purple globe artichoke that produces in only 100 days , so it can be grown as an annual . I ’m curious to see how well it tolerates our heat .
 ‘ Purple Pak ’ & ‘ Deep Purple ’ Carrots – This whole purple carrot business is making me a little dizzy . Last year they had ‘ Purple Rain ’ which is nowhere to be seen this year , and ‘ Deep Purple ’ was on the website , but had a seed failure . Now there is ‘ Purple Pak ’ and ‘ Deep Purple ’ is apparently in stock . Still , I have a fondness for purple carrots , so I doubt I ’ll be able to resist .
 Ice Plant – Buried in the Micro Mix Varieties is this gem . Ice plants are frequently grown as ornamentals , but their succulent leaves are also edible . They have juicy leaves that are flavored with a hint of saltiness and lemon .
 ‘ Red Cardinal ’ Spinach – This is a replacement for the ‘ Bordeaux ’ Spinach that we had out in the garden this year . It has more oval leaves than ‘ Bordeaux ’ and a more upright habit . It also has red stems and veins .
 ‘ Sprite ’ Honeydew – This is n’t exactly new , but it is new to Johnny ’s . You might have seen the “ Sprite ” honeydew melons in grocery stores , but now you can grow them at home ! These are little , 1 lb . melons with white flesh .
 The wintery weather followed by cold temperatures today has frozen the garden pretty solid .
 The spinach leaves are like ice cubes . They will probably thaw out in a couple days when it is warmer and do just fine . In fact , this picture was from yesterday morning , and even this afternoon , they are thawing out .
 Likewise the Swiss Chard … while the bigger leaves are probably toast , the young central leaves will probably keep growing if it warms up again .
 The Brussels Sprouts have reached the end of their lives … not because they ca n’t take the cold , but because I sawed them off this afternoon .
 I sawed them off with a pruning saw . Rather interesting – the center of the stems was hollow . I do n’t know if this was just the result of normal growth or if some insect had bored in . The plants are frozen solid , but they should thaw out just fine in the corner of my office . I ’ll snap the sprouts off in a day or two .

Sean performed a magic/disco show at my 6 year old's birthday party. The kids had a wonderful time and his magic show kept their attention throughout. A number of parents commented that it was the best they had seen.
I would just like to thank you very much for your Magic and Mayhem show you put on at Lewis's 6th birthday party. Your show was excellent and well worth it. I thought you managed the 30+ kids extremely well and they all went home with big smiles on their faces, especially Lewis. You never stopped for the full 2 hours (and bit more) your manner and way with the kids was well received. I will definitely recommend you to anybody who asks.
Thanks again for a terrific show on Saturday. I have had lots of comments about how good you were, and I hope it generates more business for you. The kids had a whale of a time, and I think the grown-ups enjoyed themselves too! Thanks a lot.
Just a quick note to say thanks for the fantastic show you did for Chloe today. Chloe and everyone else really enjoyed it. Thanks again.
Sean is absolutely amazing. So funny, the kids love him! He made my boys birthday party amazing! I literally can't fault this company at all! The pair of them are flawless. They spoke to me about the party and all it will include, it ran so smoothly, effortlessly and my son and all his friends loved it! Even the adults were enjoying the show. Normally at parties the adults are bored waiting for the party to be over so they can get home but that certainly wasn't the case this time! I've definitely found an entertainer that I love in this company!! Definitely will be booking these again next year!! Cannot recommend enough!!

ITEMS regarding the Niagara Cafe in Hunter Street reminded me of once when I was a young girl standing in the queue with my mother waiting to go into the Strand Theatre we saw a protest across the road.Waitresses were parading outside the cafe demonstrating their anger about something. I wouldn’t know what it was. Perhaps other older readers might know.
Elaine Richards,Salt AshSTEVEN Busch (Short Takes, 4/10) I agree with you when you say that, when daylight savings begins, there is some disruption to our daily lives. But the emphasisshould be on the word “some” (as it’s definitely not a great deal). I believe that daylight savings does actually serve a useful and practical purpose (many in fact), so yes, I would say that the adjustment period is necessary. Especially when considering that said adjustment period is all of a few days at most.
Adam Carter,Adamstown HeightsWHYare they wasting money on advertising about revitalising Newcastle instead of just getting on with the job?
Debra Forbes,WickhamI UNDERSTAND how you feel Mr Cooper-Johnston (Letters, 5/10), as residents of the Lambton area living close to the Hunter Stadium, Lambton pool and Lambton junior football fields we are constantly unable to park anywhere near home during summer and winter, and we have never been consulted by the NRL or Newcastle council to see if the traffic impacts on our everyday coming and going. We sort of just get on with it.
Grant Conway,LambtonANSWER to the poll of ‘will the Jets improve on eighth?’ is: Next question.
Michael Casey,MerewetherI WOULD like to thank the staff of Ward F3 at John Hunter Hospital for the wonderful care that was given to me. Nothing was too much trouble and they always showed care and kindness. Once again, thank you all so much.
J Greentree,TamworthTHE people living inside the proposed Supercars track who aren’t interested in racing, should look into renting their houses out for the week to the race teams or corporate sponsors. This is what most of the residents around the Mount Panorama track at Bathurst will be doing this weekend.

In this case study for 90 Flax Road in Fairfield, CT, you will learn how Zillow is often wrong in determining the “zestimate” or price of the house, especially in Fairfield County, CT. Realtor, Judy Mitchell explains why this is and how not to fall into the Zillow trap. Using a house she sold in Fairfield, CT, Judy shows you how she was able to achieve a sale price of almost $20,000 over what Zillow said this house was worth. There is now more money in the pocket of the sellers because of an accurate market value analysis done on this house and by presenting this house properly to the buyers who were willing to pay top dollar for it.
Here is what the buyers saw when we listed and sold the house for $620,000.
The Zillow Zestimate was $19,000 less than the price at which we sold the house! Sice Zillow has 72% market share of buyers looking for new homes, we had our work cut out for us. We needed to prove to the buyers that house was worth more. How did we do it?
We always use professional photography.
We always provide accurate floor plans.
We present the house to the buyers in way that builds value for our sellers.
We use 4 color brochures and make open houses an experience that buyers will not forget. They may see 4 or 5 houses on a Sunday, but they won’t forget seeing an open house by the Judy Mitchell Group.
We negotiate skillfully on behalf of our clients.

But it does take quite a lot of effort to ensure that the whole season does not become completely overwhelming.
It is always a very busy time. There are Christmas cards to send, presents to make for family and friends, decorations to hang, food to prepare and practices and performances for concerts and plays.
I find it helpful to use a Christmas planner I designed for our church’s Sunday school to keep track of all the events and all the things which must be done.
Sprite uses the planner now too; but she has very high expectations about what Christmas should be like. P’est Pour Parfait, the perfectionist poodle, always insists that everything must be perfect for Christmas and causes Sprite anxiety about every aspect of the season, especially about performing in the concerts and plays.
Now her concerns are more often for others who are not celebrating and do not receive any gifts and this can cause her to be upset as she opens her own presents.
But the main difficulties associated with the holiday season are in the areas of sensory overload. All the Dabrowski Dogs become very involved with all the holiday activities. This is both a blessing and a problem. It is always easier to manage if the holidays are spent at home but can be harder if visiting.
There is always so much noise and excitement. Often sugar and artificial colouring laden foods are being served.
These can all affect moods and behaviour and it is often are not understood by other people. The Black Dogs try to creep in and ruin the season for her.
Sprite does love Christmas at a deep spiritual level. Every sight, sound and scent is magnified for her and she finds significance even in shades of colour.
She needs time and space to escape from the hurly-burly to be quiet and just enjoy Christmas in her own way.

GI disease Visualization of only the open end of the stainless steel tube in rigid sigmoidoscopy. See Sigmoidoscopy.
Also keep plants low--avoid tall ones that create a tunnel effect.
Developers Urban Solutions submitted the new plans after tests revealed passers-by could get caught in a wind tunnel effect created by the original design.
Alps TuMR element consists of an insulating layer sandwiched between highly magnetic layers that, when applied with a magnetic field, exhibits a tunnel effect in which an electric signal runs through the insulating body.
Long, narrow rooms such as hallways have a natural tunnel effect, which can be reduced by painting the end walls in a deeper colour to the side walls.
ANYONE who walked past Lime Street station today could not fail to notice how the design of the buildings creates a wind tunnel effect, forcing visitors to fight their way through strong gusts to get to their train.
By creating a tunnel effect with hedging or planting that leads to hidden points of interest you will add greatly to the level of intrigue and excitement achieved by your design.
Fibre-optic displays can also be moulded by the kids into different shapes while an interactive 'infinity tunnel' gives them total control over colour choices and produces a never-ending tunnel effect.
Ground-mounted lights installed in proximity to bushes or shrubs may, for example, produce shadows that cause a black tunnel effect at entrances and windows.
This was caused by a tunnel effect, an ability on the part of electrons to penetrate barriers that were perhaps a hundred atoms thick, as though they were tunneling through.
I was intrigued with the idea if doing a variation of Georgia O'Keeffe's bone paintings, using that sort of tunnel effect.
The patio sits between Adobe's three office towers, which create a wind tunnel effect from sustained winds off the Pacific Ocean.
Despite backing the new scheme, at the back of the Lloyd House police headquarters, councillors were concerned about the block creating a wind tunnel effect and called for tests ahead of construction.

"Simulation in nursing education : iPod as a teaching tool for undergra" by Jennifer Evans, Sue Webster et al.
Most people with psychosis and schizophrenia experience auditory hallucinations, particularly the hearing of voices. A common cause of frustration and alienation for consumers is the lack of understanding by therapists, family members and caregivers, who find it difficult to relate to the consumers’ experiences. The purpose of this study is to examine and evaluate whether students’ participation in a simulated auditory hallucination will increase their understanding and knowledge about psychosis and auditory hallucinations. The design method consisted of a lecture on psychosis and schizophrenia disorders, followed by a simulation of auditory hallucinations using iPods. Students’ knowledge and perceptions of psychosis and hallucinations was assessed using quasi-experimental pre-post matched-design questionnaires. The questionnaire was divided into two parts, the first comprised closed questions to assess students’ knowledge, and the second part consisted of open-ended questions to collect information about students’ perceptions of auditory hallucinations. The results confirmed that students’ knowledge of psychosis and hallucination increased following the teaching session and simulation is a useful tool to prepare students for clinical placements in mental health practice.

Only within the last 16 months, the world has seen the emergence of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the Paris agreement which has just recently come into force, and the so called New Urban Agenda (NUA). All three of them represent bold and (more or less) legally binding agreements by the Member States of the United Nations. The New Urban Agenda should be the most concrete and practical one since it addresses the smaller scale of government, i.e. cities – the place where we will win or lose our struggle for a more just, equitable and indeed sustainable world.
November 8, 2016 Comments Off on The New Urban Agenda: More Power to Cities? Yes, but how?
On September 22 2013, 50.9% of the Hamburg citizens voted in a referendum for the full remunicipalisation of the energy distribution grids in the city. The referendum was initiated by the citizen’s initiative ‘Our Hamburg – Our Grid’ (OHOG) and constituted the climax of an intense political controversy that lasted for more than three years. Through this vote Hamburg has received international attention and became a flagship example for remarkable civil engagement. In the international best-seller “This Changes Everything” (2014), Naomi Klein sees the driving motive in the people’s ‘desire for local power’. Indeed it is true that under the constitution of the City of Hamburg, a successful referendum has a binding effect, which left the City government no other option than to announce the implementation of the referendum decision and to start the remunicipalisation process immediately after the vote. Now, three years after the referendum, it is time to evaluate what has been achieved so far. A series of interviews with key actors that were and, for the most part, still are involved in the remunicipalisation process shed some light on the remunicipalisation process and recent developments.
It is almost time. One of the most important international summits is on our doorstep. Next week the UN General Assembly will be gathering in Quito, Ecuador to (hopefully) agree and sign the so called New Urban Agenda, the international urban “constitution” supposed to be guiding sustainable urban development in the next 20 years. Almost 40,000 participants from all around the world have registered. After the successful adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Paris agreement, expectations on the next UN cities summit are high. The question however is: will it deliver? Will delegates agree on a meaningful outcome that ultimately provides guidance for national and local governments? Will it keep up to the promise to be the “SDG implementation summit”? In fact, the goals and principles of the SDGs and the Paris agreement will be confronted with a reality check – since first and foremost much of their substance will have to be implemented by the cities of this world.
October 13, 2016 Comments Off on Habitat III. The upcoming UN cities summit is as important as the Paris Climate Conference – but will it deliver?

Car travel in Europe can be a joy or a nightmare, depending on where and when you drive. During August, when countless millions of Europeans pack up their family cars and drive to the beaches or mountains, traffic jams can rob even the most scenic European touring routes of their charm. And at any time of year, driving in a major city like London, Paris, or Rome can be nerve-wracking (or at least unpleasant) to the foreign tourist.
Spring and fall are the best times for a motoring vacation in Northern and Central Europe. In Southern Europe, winter can also be pleasant if you avoid the Christmas break. If your vacation is tied to the school calendar, try visiting in June, before the summer season reaches its peak.
Many tourists, especially those from North America, make the mistake of planning car itineraries built around Europe's largest cities. They end up having to cope with nerve-wracking traffic, scarce parking, and unfamiliar regulations--all while trying to catch a glimpse of the sights through a mass of cars, motorscooters, bikes, and tour buses.
Take the train between major cities. Rent cars for local or regional excursions, or for legs of your trip (e.g., Paris to the Riviera) where you want to stop and enjoy sights along the way.
Visit a country like Denmark, Norway, or Sweden where even the largest cities are relatively car-friendly and you can leave town for driving excursions with a minimum of hassle.
ABOVE: The Peugeot Traveller van on a European highway. Residents of countries outside the U.S. can save money with short-term tourist leases from Peugeot.
Comparison shop. Check prices at European brokers that specialize in leisure rentals and short-term leasing programs. Check each company's age restrictions if you're under 25 or over 65, and see "Lease for longer trips" below.
Plan carefully. Rent a car for only as long as you'll need it, to avoid early-return penalties. If you're on a budget, avoid drop-off charges by planning a circular itinerary.
Book ahead. If you live outside Europe, you're likely to get a better deal by making arrangements from abroad.
Lease for longer trips. A short-term car lease can save money on rentals of 21 days or more. Such "buy back" or "purchase-repurchase" leases are especially useful for students and senior citizens, since age restrictions are minimal.
Buy a pass. A Rail 'n Drive Pass combines the speed and comfort of train travel with the convenience of a vehicle for local excursions.
Think small. Fuel is expensive in Europe, streets are narrow in many cities, and small cars are easier to park than large ones. Unless you need a large car or van, stick with a small to midsize car.
Important note: If you're picking up a car outside the European Union, you may encounter bureaucratic hassles if you later decide to drop the car off in an EU country. To avoid potential problems, ask for a car that's regisftered in the EU if you plan to drive there.
Prepare at home. European regulations, driving customs, and road signs can be confusing to foreigners, so use the information resources below to learn the basics ahead of time.
Be alert. If you're from North America, forget about turning on the cruise control and floating along in the left lane while listening to Santana and slurping coffee from your MegaMug. You could have a panic attack when a BMW comes tearing up behind you, left flasher blinking, at 250 km/h (156 mph) or faster. And if you've never had to enter or exit a traffic circle (a.k.a. rotary or roundabout) in heavy traffic, get ready for a new experience--especially if local laws give priority to traffic coming from the right.
Carry an International Driving Permit. This passport-like document (sometimes called an International Driver's License) is a translation of your home license. It's required in some countries and optional in others, but it's well worth having to avoid problems if you're stopped by the police or want to rent a car in a foreign country. See our International Driving Permit article.
