There is a science experiment underway at the Palm Room in Ballard and it's far more pleasing to the eye than those concoctions you made as a kid. Among the plant store's usual assortment of easy-to-grow greenery, mini-landscapes flourish inside cast-off chem-lab bottles and beakers. The Lilliputian gardens are masterminded by Palm Room employee and botanical wiz Lisa Haglund.

I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I predict the future. Every Friday I take a largely accurate reading of the things you're going to want to see and do in the week to come. You can plan your entire week, Monday through Sunday, from soup to nuts. I really want you to get on board with this, because once I have enough believers I think I'll be able to predict bigger things, like traffic jams, horse races and the plot twists of the "Heroes" 2008 season. Let's all be quiet and concentrate. Hiro Nakamura, are you out there?

Enjoy an evening of gorgeous baubles, great vino and waterfront views at the Be Jeweled event, August 16 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Browse for jewelry from seven talented independent designers while sipping wine from Precept Brands (whose labels include Avery Lane, Washington Hills, Painted Stone and Pine & Post) and watching the glow of the sunset over Lake Union. (It sounds so romantic; maybe you should bring your beau to buy you a bangle or two.)
