Zagreb was the fourth stop on my interrail trip. We'd already been to Split but Zagreb is very different. I mean I wasn't expecting any ocean or beach but the architecture of the city is also very different to Split. We only had one full day in Zagreb and it was surprisingly hot! We also decided to have our first night out of the trip in Zagreb. On a Tuesday night. Probably not the best day of the week to see what Zagreb had on offer but all the bars were surprisingly busy. More on that later!
This museum is definitely worth seeing. We didn't visit that many museums on our interrail trip but we wanted to see this one as it seemed like it was more our thing. None of us are museum people and while we don't mind going to some I imagine a lot of other people would visit a lot more than we would. I get bored quite easily but this museum was a little quirky. The museum is full of items people have sent in and each is accompanied with a message or quote from that person. Each item is something that has/had meaning in their relationship. All these relationships have now ended, hence the name of the museum. Some are funny and others are sad. You only need around 1-2 hours here. There's also a cafe if you need to refuel.
I think this was only a temporary thing while I was in Zagreb but I've included it anyway just incase it became permanent or they do something similar. The Art Park, I guess, you'd describe as an outside installation or gallery. It didn't have pictures but there was quite a lot of graffiti and installations to look at. The park was abandoned until they created the Art Park, I think things like this are such a good idea as they allow unused spaces to be used again. The area also had one the entries into the underground tunnels which was fun to explore.
The park was located near to the Museum of Broken Relationships, just off of the tree sheltered promenade. The promenade was also a nice place to sit and had a few stalls where people were selling post cards and art. I'm guessing if you were visiting in the winter or colder months then these wouldn't be there but if you're visiting in the summer then it's a nice place to wander.
Leading on from the last point the tunnel is a walk way under Zagreb. However, it does eventually lead to a dead end but there are other various exits. I think it is just a walk way but it was still fun to explore and escape the heat of the sun.
I don't like spending too much time shopping when I'm away as it's something you can quite easily do at home. However, we did end up popping into Zara for a quick look (maybe a bit more than a quick look). I also ended up buying some clothes which I don't regret buying but at the same time adding more stuff to my already heavy backpack wasn't the best idea! Zagreb has plenty of shops if you want to take a break from sightseeing or escape the sun/ rain.
Located on one of the smaller streets in the centre of Zagreb this cute bar is a great place to grab a bite to eat. It's called a bar but it is definitely more of a restaurant. Well, in the afternoon anyway. I imagine it has a good bar atmosphere in the evening. There is an upstairs and downstairs inside and then an outside area upstairs. This is where we sat. I think downstairs is the bar area or if you just want a cup of coffee in the day while the upstairs is where you go to get a bite to eat. The staff were friendly and the food was good and fairly reasonably priced.
The food was on the healthier side but not trying to be one of these healthy eating places if that makes sense! I had what you'd describe as a mixture between a pizza and a sandwich. I wouldn't say it was a pizza sandwich but it was a pizza base folded over and cut into four with the filling inside. I chose to have the one with prosciutto, parmesan, mozzarella and tomato. I was a bit worried I wouldn't like it but it was really good! Soph had a salad which looked equally as good but I'm not a salad kinda girl.
The hostel we stayed at recommended this restaurant for us. We ate here on our first evening, we had arrived quite late in the afternoon and wanted somewhere nice to eat. This place was reasonably priced and the portions were good. We couldn't decide between pizza or pasta so decided to get one of each and share. We also treated ourselves to a glass of wine (or two). This is located about 5 minutes from the main square, near the cathedral. If you like Italian food then it's worth a visit.
This cute cafe/restaurant is located in the main square. Because it was such a nice day we sat in the outside area. It is undercover just in case it does start raining, it was also nice to enjoy the weather without the sun being on me constantly. I'm very much a hide in the shade girl, I like the sun but I get hot very easily. We had one of the breakfast options. You can definitely tell you're in Europe as there's no fry up option. We ordered the omelette with bacon. I have to be honest and say it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I was a bit confused why I had pineapple and orange next to lettuce and tomatoes but maybe that's just me. It tasted good though. Orange juice and a coffee came with the meal. The portion was a little of the small side but seeing as this was breakfast/ brunch it wasn't too much of an issue.
Have you visited Zagreb? What did you get up to during your visit?
did you take the funicular to the upper town?

1990 - PG-13 - Mins.
"The Hunt for Red October" is taken off of military-expert Tom Clancy's gripping novel. Tom Clancy has a knack for the inner-psyche of our fears. He doesn't openly thrill us, but rather opens our minds to the potential hazards in the US government. Most government/military thrillers skim the surface and gather us a few good things to make us go, "Whoo," but Tom Clancy's books make us fall over in amazement. The man has an incredible knowledge of the government and its subsidaries, and his novels show this.
His film adaptations normally make good. All four are at least good, and one of them, "The Hunt for Red October," is taut, tense, and powerfully moving. The plot of the film is fictional, but it is right out of the headlines.
It is about a submarine, a Russian, and an American. It sounds like the setup for a bar-joke, but it's not. The Russian man is named Ramius (Sean Connery), who, along with his crew, takes a Soviet submarine out to the North Atlantic ocean. The sub is the best-of-the-best, with an all-new propolsion system (it's faster than other submarines), and uses advanced techniques to literally disappear off radar.
After a few days out at sea, the submarine vanishes off radar, and the Russians, frantic, tell the American government that Ramius has taken the sub to America's mainland to launch a missile attack. However, CIA Analyst Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) thinks otherwise. He believes Ramius is defecting to the States along with his crew. Further, he believes the Russians don't want to admit this for fear of losing their best submarine.
The film is directed by John McTiernan, who brought us "Predator," "Die Hard," "The Thomas Crown Affair" (remake) and "Die Hard with a Vengeance." All of the preceding films are very good, most of them great, and "The Hunt for Red October" qualifies as "very good."
Sean Connery gives a commanding performance as the leading character, Ramius. His second-hand-man is played by Sam Neil, faking a Russian accent very badly. But Neil is lovable in his role, despite having the worst Russian accent ever. Tim Curry joins along for the ride on the misfortuned sub as well, and Alec Baldwin gives his best performance as Jack Ryan.
As much as I don't like to admit it, Harrison Ford isn't the ideal Jack Ryan for me. He differs too much from the character in the novel. Neither Ben Affleck nor Alec Baldwin take the cake, either. But if you look past the book persona, you will enjoy the performances in all the films much more.
I don't tend to like military thrillers most of the time. Most likely because they are put together sloppily on the whole. But "The Hunt for Red October" isn't sloppy, careless, nor boring. It's thrilling, exciting, and entertaining.
But the book is better.

Our Father, God, and King!
Thy glorious power we sing.
And all therein are thine.
Over men and angels reign.
Out of thy hand receive.
a road for the redeemed to pass?
and with everlasting joy upon their heads.
let grief and groaning flee.
I, I am the one who comforts you.
mortals who are treated like grass?
a fear by which they intend to destroy you.
Where now is the oppressor’s wrath?
Brothers and sisters, we have a request for you concerning our Lord Jesus Christ’s coming and when we are gathered together to be with him. We don’t want you to be easily confused in your mind or upset if you hear that the day of the Lord is already here, whether you hear it through some spirit, a message, or a letter supposedly from us. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. That day won’t come unless the rebellion comes first and the person who is lawless is revealed, who is headed for destruction. He is the opponent of every so-called god or object of worship and promotes himself over them. So he sits in God’s temple, displaying himself to show that he is God. You remember that I used to tell you these things while I was with you, don’t you? Now you know what holds him back so that he can be revealed when his time comes. The hidden plan to live without any law is at work now, but it will be secret only until the one who is holding it back is out of the way. Then the person who is lawless will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath from his mouth. When the Lord comes, his appearance will put an end to him. When the person who is lawless comes, it will happen through Satan’s effort, with all kinds of fake power, signs, and wonders. It will happen with every sort of wicked deception of those who are heading toward destruction because they have refused to love the truth that would allow them to be saved. This is why God will send them an influence that will mislead them so that they will believe the lie. The result will be that everyone will be judged who is not convinced by the truth but is happy with injustice.
But we always must thank God for you, brothers and sisters who are loved by God. This is because he chose you from the beginning to be the first crop of the harvest. This brought salvation, through your dedication to God by the Spirit and through your belief in the truth. God called all of you through our good news so you could possess the honor of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold on to the traditions we taught you, whether we taught you in person or through our letter. Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and a good hope. May he encourage your hearts and give you strength in every good thing you do or say.

I won’t lie, I have a soft spot for bowling. I mean, who doesn’t love throwing a ball to try to knock over things? Anyway, I have been meaning to check out Linbrook Bowl, Orange County’s oldest bowling alley (according to the OC Register) for sometime, and earlier this week we finally made it with some friends.
Linbrook has a lot going for it in terms of Americana. It’s been around since 1958, and is still family owned. It’s open 24 hours, because why not? Of course you want to go bowling at two a.m.! It has a coffee shop that makes you question what year it is. It even has a cocktail lounge with a button tufted bar. Oh, and it has one hell of a sign.
The coffee shop is spectacular in its own right, with a counter, rock wall, and caution cone orange vinyl upholstery. If bowling isn’t your thing, I still highly recommend eating at the coffee shop! It’s that fabulous. And the pizza wasn’t bad either! You can also order and take food to your lane if you are bowling.
At Linbrook you really get to “look through the layers of time” as Charles Phoenix would say. There is a lot happening here, and you can see the new on top of the old.
In the Kopa Room, I am obsessed with the above bar detailing that for some reason just reminds me of like the faux arctic habitats at the zoo for penguins. Like, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if a penguin just hopped up on bar stool here and asked for a drink. But, as I said, layers of time…you can see the new beer posters and banners slapped on top of wood paneling, new beer banners tack on top of the par with vintage beer lights hanging behind, and the insane tufted bar paired with chairs from the 80s. What I honestly wouldn’t give to go back in time and visit this place to see what it looked like originally.
If you love neon, Linbrook Bowl is a must. And if you just love a good ol’fashion time warp, it’s definitely worth the visit. Learn more on their website.
Linbrook Bowl is located at 201 S. Brookhurst Street in Anaheim.
Oh this is definitely going on my list of to do’s for Anaheim! Thanks for sharing!

Situated across the northern Utah city of Ogden, the Weber School District is composed of 45 school facilities, a mix of elementary, junior high and high schools. The district is responsible for the safety and security of over 31,000 students to go along with more than 3,500 faculty and staff as the seventh largest school district in the state.
The chief concern for these schools is the safety of their students. With that, there is always a concern for knowing who is on campuses, when they arrive and leave and if they are supposed to be there or not. Each school level provides its own focuses, such as elementary schools adding extra coverage of playgrounds and outdoor areas to make sure students are secure and only leaving with the right people.
As each individual school spent years buying their own cameras and DVRs for safety reasons, they eventually gathered with the district’s IT Department to find a unified solution. Over a couple of years, the IT Department switched the schools all over to a central VMS, supplying Axis video encoders to bring the analog system onto a network and focusing all future efforts on IP cameras.
While the number of cameras per property varies anywhere from 15 at a smaller elementary up to 80 or more at a larger high school, the Weber School District initially used design tools from Axis to determine an efficient solution now implemented across the board with a simple mix of network cameras.
In outdoor spaces, the district decided on bullet-style cameras that help to monitor parking lots and playgrounds. Moving indoors to the common hallway spaces, mini fixed domes help to capture the interactions among students in order to deter from any negative activity.
Centralized at a data center with the IT Department, each school has fiber infrastructure in place to transmit feeds. The district relies on a Genetec platform for its video management system to process what amounts to more than three weeks’ worth of footage from about 945 total cameras.
The priority camera placements are the entrances to school buildings, so light-sensitive cameras are commonly found in these spaces. Where windows and doorways are prominent, Dalpias settled on cameras with the ability to pick up both dark and well-lit areas within the same image. “It’s got that wide dynamic capture, which is way better for us so we’re going to actually see out of the doors rather than just a glare," he said.
Most recently, the district mounted a multi-sensor camera in one of its gymnasiums, proving that efficiency with one powerful camera can accomplish the tasks of an entire group of analog cameras. Using its panoramic view, the district is able to observe the entire basketball court and bleacher space in 4K resolution.
Minor incidents continue to arise throughout the academic year, and the schools respond quicker than ever with video evidence supporting them. When a principal reported that somebody was letting air out of all of the tires in a section of the parking lot not covered by a camera, the IT Department swiftly moved in to install one. The result: a student was instantly caught with clear recognition of their identity.
In a different instance, a group of people came over to one of the portable units at a school during off hours and started a fire. While somebody in the area noticed the smoke and called the fire department, the school was then able to look at the video and identify the individuals.
The cameras have added a complimentary resource for the schools as well when identifying catalysts behind facility problems. When one school had flooding from a water purifier in a back room, administrators used footage to reveal that nobody had entered that area for twoplus days prior. In proving that it was a mechanical error, the manufacturer had to foot the bill.
The results have proven to be numerous for the district, as many administrators who may have been reluctant at first are now commonly seen using the footage to solve problems and keep more peaceful school environments.
While break-ins, theft and vandalism are of importance, the District maintains that most significantly they are now prepared for any higher profile incidents should they occur. Administrators can even access video on their mobile devices should they get an alarm call.

Best Buy Briefly Sells Palm Pre for $99 -- Oops!
There were some happy shoppers coming out of Best Buy over the weekend after the big box retailer slashed the price of the Palm Pre by 50 percent. The only problem was it may have been a mistake, as other Palm Pre retail outlets including the Sprint Store did not drop their prices.
After news of the mixup broke yesterday on PreCentral.net, many blog readers stormed their local Best Buy locations to grab a Pre for $99 with a two-year contract, instead of the original $199 price. But the Pre spree didn't last long, as John Bernier of Best Buy's Twelp Force -- the retail chain's customer-service team on Twitter -- let the world know the new Pre pricing was an accident. "Actually, [the Palm Pre is] $199, we corrected an unintentional pricing error," Bernier said in one of his many tweets discussing the Pre issue.
Even though the new price tag may have been an error, the big box retailer still delivered price-dropping joy to many happy Pre fans. Over on Pre Central.net, commenter d2globalinc claims to have received a credit of $214 after taking back two Palm Pres purchased at Best Buy within the last thirty days. Both FV and JG on CrunchGear said they received a similar rebate on Sunday as a result of Best Buy's Palm Pre sleeper sale.
But the happiest people may have been those able to get their hands on a cheap Pre after months of lusting after the device. MERGATROYDER on PreCentral claimed to get the last available Pre at the commenter's local Best Buy, paying just $144 plus some reward points for the device, screen protector and case. JKOnTheRun readers Shawn and Justine also claimed to have picked up Palm's iPhone killer at the bargain basement price.
Amid the joys there were also moments of outrage from some who had already bought their Pre's from other retailers.
Pre Price drop: Honest Mistake or Foreshadowing?
While not exactly parallels, the Best Buy price mix-up is a reminder of a similar situation with the original iPhone. Apple's wonder device was launched on June 29, 2007, but just over two months later, on September 5, Apple announced it was dropping the iPhone's price from $599 to $399.
Apple's announcement -- while spurring sales towards one million iPhones sold just five days later -- enraged early iPhone adopters who were now out $200 compared to those who waited a few months. In fact, user anger got so loud that Steve Jobs was forced to issue an open letter offering early iPhone adopters a $100 rebate as compensation.
The Best Buy situation is different since the retailer claims the 50 percent drop in price was a simple human error. But I'm not so sure. Could it be this price cut was originally planned for late summer or early fall to spur sales into the back-to-school and Holiday seasons, just as Apple did two years ago? A $99 price tag may also make more sense since, feature-for-feature, it puts the Pre against the more comparable iPhone 3G instead of the 3GS, as PC World contributing editor Harry McCracken points out on Technologizer.
So, what do you say? Did Best Buy jump the gun on an upcoming price drop or was this really just a simple mistake?

L-G Anil Baijal, who is the DDA chairperson, highlighted the need to create public spaces as an alternative for people to come together outside homes and offices.
A senior DDA official said an integral part of the Master Plan will be planning ahead of time in terms of transport and other infrastructure development.
The Delhi Development Authority’s focus in the ‘Master Plan for Delhi-2041’ will be on sustainable and green mobility, along with accessible high-quality public transport. The agency’s focus will also be on walkable humane neighbourhoods and public areas.
The focus, Agarwal said, should be not just on increasing the number of buses, but also the kind of buses that have to be brought in so that car owners can switch to it. “Private players must be allowed to come into the business with luxury buses,” he said.
The Master Plan, developed by the DDA every 20 years, looks at a long-term perspective for planned development of the city. It is a written document comprising planning guidelines, policies, development codes and space requirements for various socio-economic activities that will support the city’s population during the period. The DDA is in the process of creating ‘Master Plan 2041’ as ‘Master Plan 2021’ will end in two years.
“Second, we are also looking at how master plans have been formed in other countries and if the good things from their experiences could be incorporated, if it suits Delhi,” he said. DDA vice-chairman Tarun Kapoor said the prime focus, at present, is feedback of people.
Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra were also at the event. Puri, in his address, said the slow development of unauthorised colonies was because of delays at the end of the Delhi government — a charge that the AAP government has denied.
L-G Anil Baijal, who is the DDA chairperson, highlighted the need to create public spaces as an alternative for people to come together outside homes and offices. “There is a need to redesign roads and plazas as a space for public activities, and negotiate for public spaces even in private projects,” he said.

The gf and I bought art. At a craft fair. Actually, for all you local readers, there is the 3rd rated craft fair in the country going on right now in Northampton, MA. Monday too! While there is a cover of $8-10 dollars, there are online coupons and the place is really just a HUGE MUSEUM. And most of it is pricey. But not all. Anyway, the gf and i walked around at a pretty good pace and it still took us 2 hours just to cover the grounds. And that's not including the lobster roll i housed (not as good as the Cape, but WAY better than no lobster roll at all) and live music.
And we bought something. Well, we were going to buy something, but then my parents bought it for us as an early bday gift (thanks m&d). So now we have art, and it makes me so so happy.
Here is our new art rooting for Michigan football soon after arriving home (unfortunately it was not our art's first Michigan victory with us).
For those of you who aren't experts at the removal of hats from pictures, i will describe our new art. It is a heart, made out of what looks like an industrial sized bike chain. It's pretty big. The heart is, as my mother pointed out, not symmetrical. in what i can only describe as a moment of brilliance, my gf replied, "Love's not perfect." How well she knows me.
The funny side story here is that the artist, who was a large sized guy (tall not fat) had a personality that was bubbly. Well, as bubbly as a 6 foot 5 lumberjack sized guy, can be. And as soon as we asked about the price of the heart sculpture, he started talking about how he knew this sculpture would be bought by some hopeless romantics. Almost everything he said to us after this point ended in hopeless romantic.
I am not a hopeless romantic. I am decidedly hopeful as a person, and even more-so with love (cause i got lucky). But it became obvious that the sculptor had his mind set on where his heart should be going, and i didn't want to disappoint him. The piece is pretty heavy, and the artist volunteered to carry it to the car for us (because on my back surgery, i felt it best to accept the offer--gf had to pull her car around). As he walked our art through the fair, he stopped at probably 7 or 9 different stations, every time saying, "this was bought by some hopeless romantics . . . Look what some hopeless romantic's jsut bought." It was juuuuuust starting to get a little creepy when we got to the tent's entrance/exit. He obviously loves love. And he seems like a genuinely happy-go-lucky guy. I may not be a hopeless romantic, but im not so jaded that i can't enjoy his hopeless romance with our art/love.

I went to Mass this morning, and received the ashes on my forehead. This wasn't some quick smudge of dirt; it was a clearly inscribed black cross. I had been very careful today to avoid rubbing or scratching it. Truth be told, I wanted to see how people reacted to this visible sign of my faith.
Well, at some point this afternoon, I must have unconsciously rubbed my forehead. The guy who sits across from me just pointed that out. I went to the bathroom, and sure enough, my black ash cross was now a gray streak of dirt across the left side of my head.
I was annoyed at this, and mentioned to my coworker how I had wanted to preserve this ash cross through the rest of the day. He asked me why that was so important to me, and as I answered him, I realized that it wasn't a matter of penance, it was a matter of pride. The ash cross was supposed to be a mark of humility and repentance, and here I was trying to show it off, treating it like carefully applied stage makeup.
I was humbled by that thought, and will try to spend this evening focusing on the real purpose of Lent; a time to prostrate ourselves before God with a penitent and contrite heart.

During the cultural rebellion of the sixties, like many white kids, I tried to reach across the racial divide by emulating black slang and embracing soul music. My dark brown hair grew longer, and by the time I returned home from the University of Wisconsin that first summer of 1966 it had curled into a tangle that looked vaguely like an Afro. My great-uncle Ben, with whom I had always got along, said “I didn’t know we had anything like that in the family.” We never spoke civilly to each other again. In Madison, Wisconsin the following year, some boys drove to campus to beat up kids who looked like me. They jumped out of their car, threw me to the ground and kicked me for a while to let me know that long hair was against the American way.
A memoir by Henry Louis Gates called “Colored People” made me think more about that incident. After all, this is the Melting Pot. We’re supposed to be able to absorb all kinds of people — the northern Europeans with their blond hair, Irish with their red hair, Mediterraneans, with their jet black hair. My own ancestors, eastern European Jews, inherited dark curly hair from our Semitic ancestors. Blending hasn’t always been easy. As each group arrived, a cry went throughout the land “We already know who we are and you are not us.” After a couple of generations, the children lost their accents and adopted clothes and customs that helped us blend. We intermarried. Voila. We’re in the mix.
But the resistance to blacks has persisted longer than for most other groups. I’ve thought about the reasons and the problems of that lack of mixture my whole life, but I’ve never thought about it as clearly as I did when I read Gates’ memoir, in which he explains what it was like growing up in the segregated south. As I listen to Gates, the magic of story reading takes over and I’m with him in the 1950’s and 60’s. At home he saw people of one color, and on television he saw another. As he ponders this contrast, and tries to sort out his place in the mix, one of the most revealing insights is the chapter on hair.
Through Gates’ story, I begin to see that hair has deep significance, and the more I think about how it fits into our emotional lives, the more of its power I see. Absence of hair is important to men who lose it at middle age, and the loss of hair during chemotherapy is one of the demoralizing marks of cancer. Prison camp inmates and new military recruits often have their hair shaved to reduce their individuality. Older people hide their gray to look young, while young people enhance sexual charisma by primping, extending, dying, or spiking.
So I shouldn’t be surprised that black people, to improve their image, would like to manage the impression their hair conveys. Working in my dad’s drugstore in the early 60’s I often saw black guys wearing these tight caps, or “do rags” as they were called. And my dad stocked a whole section of specialized hair products. Looking at it from the outside it seemed mysterious. Now I see they were trying to do the same thing Americans had been doing for centuries, trying to achieve entry into the Melting Pot, so they could participate in the American dream.
Hair defines the group a person is in. That simple, yet profound observation sends me searching. Surely something so important must insinuate itself in other aspects of my life. As I look for more evidence of the importance of hair I spot another crucial period.
Before I turned forty, my prematurely gray hair made me look like an old guy, an outsider among the young people I walked past every day at the university where I worked. I decided to dye it back to its original color, to reclaim my membership in the younger generation. The first time I went to visit my friends Larry and Ivy for lunch, their eyes opened wide. “It’s like instant youth.” My membership restored, I have been dying my hair ever since, despite research that suggested prolonged hair dying might cause a deadly form of cancer. When I was knocked down and kicked because my hair was too long, it never occurred to me to cut it. Now, I am once again placing my acceptance into a group above my own safety. With my dark hair, I’ll signal my membership in the youthful American Melting pot, even if it kills me.
Write a story about times in your life when you liked your hair, or didn’t like your hair. What message was your hair broadcasting?
When have you changed your hair to try to redefine or accentuate your acceptance into a group?
When has some one else’s hair sent you a message you had a hard time accepting?
Have you ever had the experience of being an outsider because of your hair, like the time I came home with long hair and was outside my family’s comfort zone, or like the way my friend’s blond daughter provoked cat calls in Egypt, where she stuck out like a… blond in Egypt.
It turns out that my college hair style now has a name. It wasn’t really an Afro. It was a Jewfro.
To learn more about the African American attitude towards hair in the melting pot, see the documentary called “Good Hair” by producer and performer Chris Rock.

Read the “Hair” story and it really took me right back to Philly in the 60’s. What we saw in the mirror, other people didn’t see. I was a teen working in my father’s store, and trying hard to grow a beatnik beard/goatee for a week or so. My Dad never noticed until one day a customer came into the store and said, “Hey man, cool beard!” Dad turned, stared, and his face grew red with rage. “Get rid of that, NOW!” I knew then that he looked at me, but sometimes just didn’t “see”.
Thanks for sharing your story. This brief incident, so many years ago comes alive. Now, thanks to your hair memories, I know something about you and your relationship to your dad. Fascinating.
Excellent post, Jerry. And some very nice memoir! Your prompts got me thinking about the time I added some highlights to my hair. I have always had really black hair, and I wanted to, well, do something new. No real pressure to be like anyone else. Also, on the morning of wedding, I had longer hair than my wife. Before the ceremony, I snuck off and had a friend cut it all off. She was shocked!
Now, I wear hats . . .
I love your story. It’s so amazing how much life force comes through these micro-stories about hair.
When I went back to color, it was at my daughter’s urging. I rode along with her as she moved out to Seattle after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. One night we stopped relatively early in a small town in Idaho. There was nothing else to do, so she suggested we color our hair. “You can wash it out if you don’t like it.” (Not true, as I later learned.) We had a great time rubbing goo into each other’s scalps and trashing the white Motel Six towels. The initial color was awful, but I found one that worked better and kept it up for a dozen years.
Finally this same daughter came home for a visit and declared, “Mom, I think you’d look better if you let your hair go natural.” I didn’t tell her then, but the process was already underway.
I love my natural “honest” hair. I love the way it looks, the ease of caring for it, its healthy feel, and the money I save on coloring and premium hair care products. I love that the color is the same every day, month in, month out. The roots are the same color as the tips. The way I see things now, my dark brown hair was my beginner hair. This is my real color, and I will never go back. This whole issue reminds me of a comment by Linda Ellerbee in her latest memoir, TAKE BIG BITES: those who most need makeup are the least likely to benefit from it. Ah so, and perhaps also true of hair color.
But hey, if the rest of you want to continue smooshing goo into your hair every few weeks, or forking over the dough to pay someone to do it for you, I’m cool with that. After all, it’s a great responsibility having naturally frosty hair.
Thanks for the story, Ritergal. And I love that you bring your mother and daughter’s reaction into it. Hair binds us to each other in more ways than we realize until we start telling our stories.
Your story about your mother and daughter reminded me that my mother colored her hair to the very end of her life at 89. Mom loved to swim for exercise, but she always had to arrange her swims around trips to the beauty parlor because the swimming would mess up her hair.
Well written and clearly evocative! I went from brownish to blonde to red highlights, etc. Long hair never suited my round face, but I kept trying. My high school senior picture was taken the day after the prom. Now that hairdo looks as if one could keep a big flock of bees in it….
That would be the tail he’d shed the day before to look more conservatively presentable to my aunt and uncle.
Now we say “Your pony tail is showing” when anyone in our circle of friends lets loose a comment that dates them, or reveals a liberal status.
Drop on by my blog to see more elderstories and pictures if you wish.
You’ve offered a lot of yourself in this tiny story. Thanks! I visited your blog and find it lovely. I’m so glad you stopped by and connected your world with ours.
Thank you! What a nice way to state that. I’m an old English major by original trade, but my interests are a lot broader now, a bit of hands-on with art and gardening. There’s a Buddhist monastery in our very small town, and the orange-robed gentle folk who live and retreat there are of both sexes. Their shaved heads match their serene smiles, it seems to me.
Once in the late 70’s when I was briefly editor of a small town press, I got to interview their Roshi, an enormous British woman with a white bulldog to match. Quite a sight with their leader, the happy dog and a row of smiling monks against the background of our Mt. Shasta!
Another great comment. Look at how your little stories of you make you so knowable and accessible. This is one of the many things I love about the whole project of memoir writing. Now that we have this magical internet, we can “meet” each other across miles, in an instant. But how do we “know” each other? The answer, I believe, is through stories. I love your line “English major by original trade.” Isn’t it amazing how life extends our capabilities, meandering across places, people, and skills we never imagined possible when we started? Thanks so much for sharing the Roshi story. It evokes a scene. I couldn’t be there then, but you’ve transported me back into your memory to join you now.
Wow, you sure do an ego good, sir! I’ve just been catching up on the emails which were still inadvertantly going to my husband’s email box, because I didn’t realize I had to confirm that I was unsubscribing to that mailbox, and I certainly enjoyed all the recent comments about “voice” in that they also stimulated me to think of voice objectively.
2) The specific vocabulary words I choose, the ‘color’ of my adjectives;setting scenes with a very sparse set of possibilities, etc. depend I think on the tone I’m trying to achieve—serious,ironic,revelatory, sad, etc. A false word, like a false step, just feels wrong or bumpy or ajar to my ear and head.
Well, I can see I need to think on these things some more, but feel free to make these clickable to the group in the main thread if you like, and I’ll try to trundle along in a short time! Thanks very much again for the comments, which I consider very complimentary!!
~Kathi, from a nice cool morning in the many-treed woods where we live, though it will heat up close to 100 before the day has flowed along to a fire-smokey sunset….
In rereading my post just now, I spotted something. Check my last paragraph where I say, “Well I can SEE I need to THINK…” If we as writers remember to consider our primary learning style, we might have another clue to our processing.
Even though I emphasized my auditory side in sharing how I process my sentences and paragraphs, I concluded (unconsciously) with the visual sense which predominates for me. I am a very visual learner and processor, seeing pictures in my head and imagination, but I also use my secondary style, auditory, to check the overall tone or feeling or effect of my written words.
The third major style we can use, other than a combination of any of the main three, is kinesthetic, or tactile. “I can really get my arms around that,” or “That remark really touched me” alerts us to the preference (often unconscious) we are using (or hearing or seeing or touching)!
Paying attention to thoughts, our cogntive realm, or feelings, our emotional one, is of course another point of differing focus we should be consciously using and creating.

text: The novel biodegradable aromatic–aliphatic polyester, poly(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzoate), was explored through thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, dynamic mechanical analysis and comparative bio and catalysed degradation. The polyester is a product of ring opening polymerisation (ROP) of 2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-benzodioxepin-5-one catalysed by an aluminium salen catalyst. Thermal and mechanical characterisation showed that the polyester had a Tg of nearly 27 °C and crystallisation ability when cooled from melt, providing insight into potential biomedical and compatibiliser applications. These thermal and mechanical properties can be tuned by altering the polymer's molecular weight. The crystal structure has also been determined through wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The polymer can be enzymatically degraded, but this process is slow compared to the rapid degradation by exploiting the monomer–polymer equilibrium catalysed by the aforementioned aluminium salen complex.

There are currently two main ways in which dentists look for cavities: visual inspections and x-rays. Visual inspections usually only detect cavities once they're relatively advanced, however, and x-rays can sometimes miss cavities on the tooth's biting surface. Now, technology being developed at Toronto's York University could provide a more effective alternative.
In the non-invasive new process, each of a patient's teeth would first be exposed to a laser light source. A low-cost device known as a thermophotonic lock-in imaging (TPLI) tool would then use a long-wavelength infrared camera to image those teeth. If any cavities were present, the light exposure would cause them to still be emitting a small amount of thermal infrared radiation, which would be detected by the camera.
Although it's still in the developmental phase, the technology has already been successfully tested on extracted human molars. These were made to start demineralizing by being immersed in an acid solution for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days. While the TPLI was able to detect cavity-causing lesions after just two days, a visual inspection didn't detect them until the 10-day mark.
A paper on the research was recently published in the Journal of Biomedical Optics.

Lilium Floral Design has been published in the following press releases.
Tropical flowers, sometimes referred to as exotics, are those that thrive naturally in tropical climates. Favorite varieties include heliconia, ginger, pincushions, bird of paradise, orchids, anthurium and protea. These bright, eye-catching blooms make for unique arrangements that pack a powerful visual punch.
This tall tropical beauty features ginger, heliconia, orchids and anthurium.
Tropicals are versatile flowers that make stunning arrangements on their own, or when combined with traditional blooms. As a rule, cut tropicals last longer than their more temperate relatives, usually 10 days to two weeks. Generally, tropicals feature bright colors and unique shapes not found in traditional varieties.
One of the most requested tropicals is bird of paradise. Aptly named, it resembles the plumage and beak of an exotic bird. It is sometimes confused with heliconia, particularly hanging heliconia. Both are staples in Lilium tropical arrangements, although heliconia is more readily available.
Heliconia is often thought to resemble lobster claws.
Anthurium is another favorite tropical. The heart-shaped, waxy leaf (spathe) surrounds a spike (spadix) that is actually made up of tiny flowers. The wide variety of color options range from white to green, pale pink to vibrant red.
After extensive research and product testing, Lilium opts to purchase tropicals from growers in Hawaii. Compared with product from growers in Costa Rica, Columbia, and Indonesia, we have found Hawaiian tropicals to be fresher and longer lasting. In addition, Hawaiian farms focus on sustainable farming practices, including a state-wide ban on certain pesticides, to protect their natural resources.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature has targeted the Hawaiian islands in recent months, creating a major impact on their flower production. Lava flows from eruption of Mount Kilauea in May destroyed most of one of the largest orchid farms on the Big Island. Over 25 years of growth were quickly destroyed. Put into perspective, it takes an orchid two to three years to grow from a seedling to a mature plant. Recovery will take time.
As if the Hawaiian growers weren’t dealing with enough, Hurricane Lane is now bearing down on the islands. Rainfall to date is measured in feet, not inches. Maui, Oahu and Hawaii are being hardest hit, with flooding further damaging their flower farms.
What does that mean locally? Florists have had to seek out new resources. Some flower varieties, including tuberoses, are difficult to obtain at all. Of course, prices rise as the demand exceeds the supply. In short, tropicals are still available. We continue to receive shipments from Hawaii weekly. Be flexible, and allow the floral designers to create arrangements using the best florals and foliage available.
Orchids were among the crops hard hit by Hawaii’s volcano and flooding. Shown here, cymbidium orchids are paired with popular tropical protea and monstera leaves.
Tropical flowers and foliage make beautiful vased arrangements, but why stop there? We love to mix and match tropicals with traditional blooms in a variety of designs. The completed look is always unique and eye-catching.
This one-of-a-kind bridal bouquet features plumeria, bird of paradise, ginger, pincushions and orchids, combined with traditional roses and greenery.
Sympathy easel sprays need not be traditional. This tropical spray features mokara orchids, ginger, anthurium, pincushions, oncidium orchids, monstera leaf and foxtail fern.
If a sunny tropical vacation is not in your immediate future, but you want to invoke the spirit of the islands, a tropical arrangement is a great option. Their unique shapes, stunning colors and fragrant blooms are sure to brighten your day.

The Pharm.D. Professional Program is an upper division program. What does upper division mean?
The term upper divison refers to the college years beyond the pre-pharmacy course work that must be completed prior to beginning the pharmacy curriculum. Students are not directly enrolled into the Pharm.D. Program as freshmen. Instead, they typically enroll as pre-pharmacy students through the Academic Center for Exploratory Students (ACES) and complete their pre-pharmacy coursework (lower division) through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Academic advisors in ACES are instrumental in helping pre-pharmacy students navigate through the pre-pharmacy requirements.
What is a Pharm.D. Degree?
A Pharm.D. Degree is neither an undergraduate degree nor a graduate degree, but rather is a professional degree. It is the only degree that will allow the graduate to sit for the licensing exam to become a licensed, practicing pharmacist. Regardless of the level of a student’s prior education, the student enrolls into the Pharm.D. Professional Program as an undergraduate student.
AP credit will transfer into UCONN if a score of 4 or 5 was received on the exam. However, our Program strongly recommend’s that students DO NOT use their AP credits towards their math and science prerequisite course work. Students are often better prepared for the Pharm.D. curriculum when they take their math and science prerequisite courses in college.
Does the UConn School of Pharmacy participate with PharmCAS?
Yes. For further details, visit the PharmCAS website.
To be considered a competitive applicant, what is the suggested minimum for GPA requirement and PCAT score?
Although there is not a set minimum GPA requirement, it is highly recommended that applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA in the math and science prerequisites and have a composite score at the 60th percentile, or higher, on the PCAT in order to be considered competitive.
The PCAT is a Pharmacy College Admission Test. It is a standardized test that helps to identify qualified applicants by measuring general academic ability and scientific knowledge with an emphasis on verbal skills, biology, reading comprehension, quantitative ability, chemistry, and writing skills. Private courses / test prep guides are available.
What are my options if I am not enrolled as a pharmacy student?
Students who do not become enrolled in the Pharm.D. Program might choose to change their major. The prerequisites that they have taken for the School of Pharmacy meet many of the requirements for other programs at the University of Connecticut as well as general education requirements necessary for obtaining a bachelor’s degree. Advisors will work with the student to help facilitate this degree transition. Students might choose to re-apply the following year. If this be the case, it is recommended that the student declare a degree track other than pre-pharmacy and work toward meeting that program’s requirements. Keep in mind that at the end of 4 years, the ultimate goal is to obtain a bachelor’s degree. Other students might choose to transfer out of UConn. For information on other Schools of Pharmacy, please log onto the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy website.
Can non-pharmacy students take pharmacy courses?
No. Students must be enrolled in the School of Pharmacy to take pharmacy courses.
Does the School of Pharmacy offer summer / winter session courses?
Can my previous college work be ignored so that I can start over as a freshman?
No. All previous colleges that have been attended must be reported and official transcripts submitted. All previous grades and courses will be considered.
I am a transfer student. How do I apply?
You must submit separate applications and apply to BOTH UConn and the School of Pharmacy. and January 6th is the PharmCAS application deadline for the Pharm.D. program and February 1 is the application deadline for UCONN.
Students enrolled at colleges other than the University of Connecticut will have their transcripts evaluated by Transfer Admissions after they have been admitted to the university and have confirmed their intention to enroll. If you are enrolled at a Connecticut college or university, you can use the Transfer Equivalencies tool to see how your course will transfer to UConn. Read Transfer Admissions FAQ’s for more information on transfer of courses.
The Pharm.D. Professional Program is a 4-year, full-time program. Enrolled students must expect three years of full-time, didactic coursework to be completed on the Storrs Campus of the University of Connecticut. The fourth year consists of 9, one-month rotations.
I already have a degree. Can the program be completed at a faster pace or can any of the program requirements be waived?
We do not offer non-traditional or accelerated programs, nor are program requirements waived, to shorten the duration of the program. All students admitted in a given year, regardless of prior education, begin their classroom experience at the same time and move through the program as a cohort.
I’m an international student with a Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy. Can I come to UConn to get my Pharm.D.?
No. Unfortunately, the School of Pharmacy at UConn does not offer a program that would be appropriate. You may wish to consider post-baccalaureate pharmacy degree or non-traditional Pharm.D. programs. A list of colleges and schools that offer these types of programs may be found on www.aacp.org.
Is there any financial assistance offered to pharmacy students?
Once enrolled, pharmacy students are eligible to apply for scholarships through the school. In 2017-2018, $181,700 was given to pharmacy students (including transfers) through various scholarships that ranged from $500 to $10,000. Outside of these scholarships, traditional financial aid through the University of Connecticut is available in the form of grants and loans.
The added expense is in support of the clinical rotation portion of the program (e.g. finances, hospital contracts, preceptor fees, liability insurance, etc.) Instead of having the full added payment in the fourth professional year, it is divided between the last two years to make it more manageable.

Eli and Tom came home from school early on Tuesday. They found their mother in the kitchen. She was cleaning an old table.

In a previous post, I wrote about just how much we’re loving Eye Level Learning Center. Well, another thing I love about it is being able to choose our own schedule. We’re there Tuesdays and Saturdays at 10 am. Saturdays are a no-brainer because I have no work and we’re able to do our own “thing” after class.
SM Lanang Premier is just a couple of minutes away from Eye Level, which means it’s going to be a bit harder to resist a sale. Speaking of sale, Etude House went on sale last weekend. Being a self-confessed fanatic of all things Korean, I frequent Etude House, so of course, I went!
All the time, Yuri was just following me, playing with the store’s little baskets hehe. I thought he would be tired and cranky because he just came from school, but he was really patient. So I took my time choosing the more affordable products. I was eyeing the new Berry AHA line, but it’s out of my self-restricted budget, so maybe next time.
Or I’ll probably just wait for them on Althea Philippines. Korean products are so much cheaper there!
In lieu of toys, I got Yuri a set of washable markers from Maped. This comes with an app, too! I have yet to try it.
What fab and frugal finds have you had lately?
I’m a makeup junkie but I haven’t tried any of Etude House’s products. I’ll give it a go one day.
When Etude opened in Manila years before, I’d go there just to see the store. Oh how I love to just stay and see and feel that pink store!
I’ve never tried Etude House products before but really hope I can try some too because I’ve read so many nice reviews. I’m also eyeing their new berry line because I just love berries. Haha!
Janice recently posted…#SootheandProtect Your Baby’s Skin With Oilatum’s New Range of Products!
I love Etude too! That Drawing eyebrow pencil is a MUST have!
I love Etude House’s Bubble Hair Coloring in Wine Red 🙂 I bet you would be happy to shop make up in Korea. I recently bought 4 tubes of hand lotion there for only 12000 Korean Won (around 500 pesos).
Gaaaah! That’s why going to Korea is on top of my bucket list!
I’ve got a little man starting school this August so I’m eyeing on some of the materials you bought from NBS. I like the dry erase writing board!
I haven’t given Etude house a try except for the foundation that I did not like much. Medyo pangit ang color/shade sa akin. Maybe I’ll give the eyebrow makeup a chance hehe. Naghahanap kasi ako ng mga pangkilay ngayon.
Confession: I don’t buy foundation from Korean stores because they’re ashy. Japanese brands are better.
I love shopping at National Bookstore. It’s like my candy shop. My husband likes to joke that I can spend hours and hours in there.

The UK produces millions of waste tyres each year and it is important that they are disposed of legally and in an environmentally safe way. Abandoned tyres cause environmental and health hazards to local communities. Illegally abandoned tyres can for example, pose a serious fire risk.
The tyre recycling industry is growing in response to the expectation to recover materials and recycle. In 2013 the Government implemented it’s Reducing and Managing Waste Policy.
Tyres are usually made of a mixture of rubber, textile and steel and can contain oil and other chemicals. Metal rims from tyres can be separated and refurbished, re-sold or used for scrap metal.
Waste tyres can be used as fuel for cement kilns, furniture and shoes. Bales of tyres can be used in the engineering of flood defences. When tyres are recycled, they can be granulated to a rubber crumb which can be used for sports surfaces, carpet underlay, asphalt for roads and children’s play surfaces.

Quietly plodding on with projects but not in the best of health again at the moment!
Took a quiet wander to flea market on Saturday in pursuit of shabby chic bargains and found lovely set of tins: large one for cakes, small one for biscuits,very pleased with both, look perfect in kitchen for just £3 for the pair!
The pattern is called ‘Nut fresco’ – the irony here for anyone who doesn’t know is that I’m allergic to nuts!

In summertime, the underwater trail is an aquatic ramble in flippers, mask and snorkel, to explore the rich variety of the marine world. At the Domaine du Rayol, summer brings periods of drought and very high temperatures; this is a period of rest for the vegetation. The scents of the maquis and the sound of the cicadas are a real change of scene for visitors… So it’s a good time to put your head underwater and explore the 11th garden on the sea bed.
In peace and quiet and in complete safety, come and explore the underwater flora and fauna in the Baie du Figuier. Starting from the beach, you will be led by one of the Domaine du Rayol’s qualified guides; prepare to be amazed by the treasures to be found in the shallows. You may come across mother-of-pearl, Mediterranean rainbow wrasse, starfish, sea bass, wrasse, sea bream and shoals of dreamfish in the Neptune grass beds; flatfish and sea cucumbers on the sandy beds; white sea bream, bass and barracuda in the deeper waters; and anemones, octopuses, pomfrets, etc. in crevices on the rocky sea bed.
Starting from the beach, you will be led by one of the Domaine du Rayol’s guides. All equipment (wetsuit, flippers, mask and snorkel) is provided. Bring a swimsuit for the activity and suitable clothing for the tour of the gardens.
Basic level, beginners welcome, suitable for all the family from age 8. The only requirement is being able to swim.
Unaccompanied minors must have a letter from their parents giving them permission to take part in this activity. Children must however be accompanied by an adult in the Gardens.

Serena Williams' Dad Restraining Orders All Around!
Serena Williams' Dad: Restraining Orders All Around!
The father of Serena and Venus Williams has finally agreed with his estranged wife on something -- it's best if we stay the hell away from each other!
TMZ Sports has learned 75-year-old Richard Williams and 38-year-old Lakeisha Williams have asked the court to grant a "mutual restraining order" -- barring both sides from contact during their nasty, nasty divorce.
As we previously reported, Lakeisha accused Richard of cutting her off and leaving her and their young child in financial ruin. She also claims he's gun-obsessed and dangerous.
Richard claims Lakeisha is an alcoholic who's been stealing money from him. Both sides deny each other's allegations.
The judge has yet to grant the order -- but we're guessing it's just a matter of time. These two hate each other.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Want to work for Facebook? You’d better be prepared to act like Mark Zuckerberg’s boss.
At a town hall style Q&A at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Wednesday afternoon, the Facebook CEO said he has one rule for hiring people to work for the social network.
Zuckerberg noted that hiring is a problem at Facebook, because there is more work to do than people to accomplish it. That can lead to hiring people who may not be the best candidate for a job.
So the Facebook CEO said that his team looks for people whose values align with the company’s.
“Facebook is not a company for everyone in the world,” he said.
How do you start delegating to other people as you grow your own company?
What’s the best tip you can give to young people with ideas to change the world?
How is Facebook working with governments who request greater censorship?
Recently with Russia and Turkey for example, Facebook deemed the countries’ requests were legal.
“We may not have agreed with them,” Zuckerberg said. But he noted that if Facebook denied the request to take down certain content, then these countries would have blocked Facebook and prevented tens of millions of people from using Facebook.
What is Facebook doing to curb hate speech on the site?
“The line between factually untrue and disagreement of opinion is not always black and white,” Zuckerberg said.
But if a lot of people report the same item, Facebook pays more attention to it. As a result, Facebook will show that piece of content less frequently in News Feed.
What are Facebook’s plans to get into other areas of technology, like Apple and Google are doing with wearables and driverless cars?
Zuckerberg said that content will evolve toward video over the next few years and that the company is excited and focused on virtual and augmented reality.
“We’re definitely looking into future technology,” he said ambiguously.
