This postage-sized garden is made up of about 10,000 succulents. I took this picture at Wisley Gardens, the Royal Horticultural Society garden southwest of London. Though impractical in modern gardens, this kind of gardening was widely practiced by wealthy Victorians, who had access to relatively cheap labor.

1. Favorite author Tom Robbins (right now)*
2. Favorite book If on a winter’s night a traveler – Italo Calvino
3. Favorite poem OR poet The River-Merchant's Wife by Ezra Pound
4. Favorite genre character driven fiction
5. Favorite non-fiction category fairy tales (398.2)
6. Favorite book as a child OR first book you remember from childhood The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton**
7. What book are you reading now? The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe
8. Favorite fictional character Clare of The Time Traveler’s Wife
9. Worst book you ever read Strawberry Girl by Lois Lenski
10. A book that changed your life Forever by Judy Blume
11. A movie that's BETTER than the book Carrie by Stephen King
12. The most disappointing movie adaptation from a book (you know - you love the book and HATE the movie) Interview with a Vampire or Dune
1.Stephen King, Barbara Kingsolver, William Goldman, David Sedaris, John Irving…
2. It's different and still brilliant every time I read it.
3. I cry when I think about the time that has passed.
5. yes that is the dewey classification. geek.
6.I have NO idea what Blu Sun and COTU have to do with The Little House but it made soda come out my nose when it showed up in the search.
8. TTW is in my top 5 favorite books.
9. I was forced to read it and give a book report in 5th grade. I hated it out of spite and made sure to convey that in my oral report.
10. I'm sure I'm not the only one. My sharing of the "best parts" in elementary parochial school (and getting busted for it) only points to my later destiny of being a public librarian.
11. seriously. a dull book that makes a scary scary movie. Piper Laurie helps.
12. what a way to ruin a good story, Mr. Cruise. (And Dune should have been a 6 hour movie)

This micrograph shows a confocal section of a whole-mounted Drosophila retina belonging to a late pupa. To take this image, I used a strain that contains a genetic construct which induces the expression of RFP (magenta) in the nuclei of both pigment and photoreceptor cells. All cell nuclei appear stained with Hoechst (cyan), and membranes were immunostained for E-cadherin (yellow). Imaging was performed on a Leica SP5 confocal microscope.
A diversity of cell types can be observed in this image of a fruit fly retina. Cell membranes appear in yellow, and their nuclei either in magenta—pigment and photoreceptor cell nuclei—or in cyan—all nuclei—. Importantly, the number and the position of cells is precisely regulated during development, which causes the appearance of a highly stereotypical pattern. This arises from the orderly repetition of rossette-shaped, hexagonal structures called ommatidia, which are light-sensing units that, together, form the insect compound eye. As a whole, these images show a tremendous degree of order and complexity within such a small biological structure as an eye belonging to a fruit fly. ¦ Image#1_35
complications breed complications and so on and so forth
I showed part of this before, but wanted to put a bigger version up to show just how complicated it is.

Lee Graham at the Amazing Meeting 5 in Las Vegas, talking about his Java applet.
One of the creationist arguments against evolution is built around "Irreducible Complexity" - if there's a mechanism that doesn't work if any of its pieces is missing, that mechanism can't have evolved. Lee Graham has written a relatively simple game (which, however, doesn't run in my browser, well, that's Java applets for ya), and a genetic algorithm to evolve players for the game, that refutes that theory by frequently - in about half the trials - evolving irreducibly complex players!
This was a good talk. Although Lee is an Artificial Intelligence grad student, he explained genetic algorithms without AI jargon, and his software does things like animate motion between game "DNA" and the center of the screen where mutations take place to really make clear what's going on.
In front of the speaker: Probably the ugliest poster of an event I've actually been to, ever.
The line continued to grow as people waited for their chance to get an autograph from the OpTic Gaming squad.
