More Publicity
themes i'm thinking of for pics
opportunity, technology, development, infrastructure, construction of new road/building, undeveloped fields
local, community, accounting, trade-offs, making multiple groups of people happy, taking into account impacts on all sides
recession, business model, products, labor, innovation, ahead of the pack
people, professionals in their settings

science and policy
UMD just started a new student group, Scientists and Engineers for America. Man, that name kinda makes me hate them. I've been too busy to read up on them so I can hate them properly, but it also reminded me of an article on how sometimes scientists need to butt out of politics and 'expert witness'ing etc. basically, scientists get angry about non-scientists making decisions not based on data, but too often and they also assume that if they're the one with some evidence that they think says what they want, they must be right.
hope that made sense. not enough sleep these days.
and while we're at it, engineers are awesome.

Gardenia lotion
I finally found Gardenia lotion from Shikai. It doesn't smell quite as good as Bath&Body Work's, but I think it works better.
Cleaning Product I'm Into
From Chemfree solutions. They say they use enzymes so that's why it's better. I don't know, but the Tub&Tile stuff seems to work pretty well. I just bought the one for Kitchen, too.
Valentine's Day
flowers are on sale! I guess they'll be more on sale after the holiday...
think I'm going to make some candy this weekend, though. i want to make turtles and chocolate covered strawberries.
