The current design of the Château Laurier’s controversial proposed addition will move forward unimpeded after a last-ditch effort to block council approval of the project failed to garner enough support for another debate.
Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s call to revoke Château-owner Larco Investment’s heritage permit – at the risk of legal action against the city – was defeated at Wednesday’s council meeting, but a last-minute move to reconsider the motion at a special meeting Thursday seemingly gave the proposal another life.
In fact, reconsidering a motion – a move that council hasn’t used in a decade – needed a majority of councillors to vote in favour of another debate first. Councillors Rick Chiarelli and Diane Deans, who collectively proposed reconsideration on Wednesday, urged their colleagues to allow further debate on the matter that has inspired an outpouring of public opinion.
Deans pushed especially hard against councillors Glen Gower, Laura Dudas, Matthew Luloff and Jenna Sudds, who voted against Fleury’s motion but sent a letter to Larco following Wednesday’s council meeting asking the owners of the iconic hotel to reconsider the much-maligned designs for the seven-storey, 147-suite addition. If these four councillors indeed wanted to put any pressure on Larco, Deans suggested, reconsidering and approving Fleury’s motion was the only viable option.
“The disconnect between actions and words is monumental,” she said.
Ultimately, the reconsideration motion was voted down 13 to 10.
After applying for a minor variance with regards to the Château’s heritage overlay, Larco can now obtain a building permit and begin construction on the addition.

The Create Grid Corner Points tool creates a point at each corner on an input polygon feature class. It also
provides the option to add midpoints for each side of the polygon. The output Point feature class will
contain a field called PolygonOID which contains the OID of the polygon it was created from. It will also
have a field called Position which contains the cardinal direction of each point in relation to the polygon.
Be sure to view the Tool Help within the tool dialog box for detailed instructions. Also, check the
Geoprocessing Results for any error messages.
Here’s a screenshot of the parameters:
I hope someone can find this tool useful. Please leave a comment if you have any questions or problems, and be sure to check out the other tools I’ve created!

Sony is releasing the Playstation 4 for a retail price of $399/€399/£349/¥38,980
Different bundles are also available and the prices may vary. The variation in prices depends on what version you're getting: normal bundle or basic bundle. If we look at Gamestop.com, the basic bundles are being sold at $459.98 while the normal bundle goes up to $519.97 and here's a list of a few of these games that are known to be included so far:
Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida isn’t above adjusting the price of the PS4 after launch to better compete with other gaming consoles either, so you may want to consider a wait-and-see approach before leaping at the first chance to own your own PS4. Remember the launch price of $799 for the PS3? Yeah, those were dark times.
Updates about the PlayStation 4's price can be found on the following page:

A classic Victoria sponge: light, tender, buttery cake sandwiching a tangy-sweet layer of raspberry jam and buttercream.
Don’t tell any of them in the WI, but I filled the sponge with homemade raspberry honey lemongrass jam. You can of course use any raspberry jam you want–perhaps choose one which isn’t overly sweet so it balances the buttercream and sponge. I feel raspberry desserts are best when you have the bright, slightly tart fruit commingling with another soft and gentle vanilla-sweet element. But it’s your cake, so do it how you like.
One thing: you’ll need scales for this recipe, ideally digital, but I have winged it with mechanical. You weigh the egg in its shell, then use the same weight each of butter, sugar, and flour, ensuring a perfect cake each time. (But if you don’t have any scales and are set on making this cake, get familiar with egg sizes in your country, this page of conversions, and doing some maths.)
A standard 8 inch sandwich cake isn’t exactly a huge amount, particularly as this cake doesn’t have much frosting, but a 4 inch sandwich is still much more comfortable for my household to finish while still soft and fresh. I’ve linked the original recipe below if you want larger amounts, so you can please yourself about making enough cake to suit your appetite.
This is the dreamiest thing to make for a little tea party. If, like me, you find yourself eating cake alone, this is the best thing to have at any time of day. Of all the cakes I’ve made so far, this is the one I’ve eaten the fastest.
4-INCH VICTORIA SPONGE
This makes a 10 cm/4 inch sandwich cake, yielding 4 – 6 smallish slices. You can also get 6 cupcakes out of this.
Keeps well for 3 days at room temperature, very well wrapped in foil/clingfilm. If making in advance, sprinkle with sugar just before serving.
Adapted from the perfect Victoria sponge recipe. (The original recipe yields a full-size 21 cm/8 inch sandwich cake, serving 8 – 10.)
I also like this just with some fresh whipped cream instead of buttercream, though I think you’d want to eat that on the day of making.
For reference, UK large eggs weigh between 63g – 73g. I winged it with mechanical scales and it was fine. If your egg weighs 73g in its shell, measure out 73g of butter, 73g of sugar, etc etc.
for the cake:
1 UK large egg, weighed in its shell
The same weight each of soft lightly salted butter, caster sugar and self-raising flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp fine salt
1 – 2 tsp milk, more if needed
for the buttercream:
25g/1 3/4 tbsp lightly salted butter, softened
50g icing sugar, sifted if necessary
1 tbsp double cream or 1 tsp full-fat milk (cream gives a richer finish)
Pinch of salt
A little lemon zest (optional)
for the filling & topping:
2 tbsp raspberry honey lemongrass preserves (recipe), or any raspberry jam you want. I also love plum jam.
Caster sugar, to sprinkle
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/160 fan (350 degrees F). Grease and line the bottoms of 2 x 10 cm/4 inch cake tins.
Make the cake layers. Using an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar in a small-medium bowl. It should become so light and fluffy that it’s mousse-like and paler in colour–a good few minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. (No mixer? Cream by hand with a fork!)
Beat the egg in a small bowl and add to the creamed butter a little at a time. Scrape the sides of the bowl down again to ensure everything is thoroughly combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt by hand, then stir in just enough milk, teaspoon by teaspoon, so the mixture drops easily off a spoon in a plush dollop.
Divide evenly between the tins, smooth the tops and bake for 15 – 20 minutes (do check at the earlier time) until golden and well risen, with a cake tester coming out totally clean from the middle.
Cool cakes in the tin for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, flattest-side down, to cool completely–probably another hour or so at room temperature, or 20 – 30 minutes in the fridge.
Make the buttercream by hand with a fork (the amounts are much too scanty to bother with a mixer). In a small mixing bowl, beat the soft butter a little, just to ensure it’s pliable. Beat in the sifted icing sugar half a time, working the mixture until smooth and completely combined.
Mix in the double cream (or milk), salt, and lemon zest, if using, until airy and creamy. Taste, adding more salt, sugar, or cream as necessary. You want this to have a rounded sweetness. Set aside until you’re ready to assemble the cake.
Prepare jam: If using raspberry honey lemongrass jam, remove any lemongrass pieces before proceeding. You can sieve the preserves if you want it smooth and seedless. It may be easier to gently heat preserves until just runny before sieving; allow to cool before proceeding, chilling briefly to quickly re-thicken preserve if needed.
To assemble the cake, set your least favoured cake layer on a plate or stand and spread generously with raspberry preserves, leaving just a small margin round the edges so it doesn’t ooze out under everything else. Spoon over a layer of buttercream, then centre the second cake on top, flattest side-down.
Just before serving, sprinkle come caster sugar on top. If you want neat slices, let the cake sit for about 10 minutes before serving (in the fridge, if the weather’s warm), but it doesn’t matter too much: eat up!

Bachelor in Business Administration (Professional Accountancy), The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Mandarin, Cantonese, English
My name is Qianwen. I am from China and currently in my first year at ESSEC Singapore. Before joining in ESSEC, I was a accounting major student from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. After my graduation, I faced a tough choice: either working in a financial institution in Hong Kong or pursuing a master degree abroad.
After careful considerations, I decided to apply for ESSEC. At first, the multinational and multicultural identity of ESSEC is very appealing. As an adventurous person, I always want to explore different possibilities and experience more. ESSEC has campuses in three continents, and its strong bilateral ties with other prestigious business schools can provide a lot of exchange opportunities. Since I started my courses, I have found that ESSEC surprises me every and each day. My classmates are from various countries, such as France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Morocco and so on. Interacting with them makes me learn more about different cultures and become more open-minded. Furthermore, I will go to Cergy campus in France next year, which will enable me to explore the Europe and learn a new language.
The reason why I choose Grande Ecole is that the program provides a lot of choices with students, who can select different specialized tracks based on their interests and career goals. As I am determined to work in finance sector in the future, I choose Corporate Finance Track. The course structure is very integrated. It not only teaches us the textbook knowledge, but also develop our business sense and thinking pattern, as well as the professional attitudes and qualities such as cooperative and creative, which are vital to success in one’s career. In addition to the coursework, ESSEC also provides good career services. We have experienced consultants helping with the career choices and interview preparations. School also organizes networking events to enable us to get interacted with firms in industries. I believe that in ESSEC, I will be trained into a real business profession who has leadership, competences and global perspectives.
Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more about ESSEC, the GE program - its application process, course structure, student life and so on. I am looking forward to speaking to you!

Update Alert No. 10
23 March, 2012
New Data Features
Release of the UCDP GED Conflict Polygons Dataset
Next week, on 28 March, the UCDP will release the UCDP GED Conflict Polygons Dataset, a dataset describing the spatial extent and geographical areas affected by armed conflict, non-state violence and one-sided violence. Covering Africa during the 1989-2010 period, the dataset provides access to data constructed both as yearly sets as well as aggregated sets for the entire period. The dataset is a derivative product of the GED (Georeferenced Event Dataset) project, being built in a fully standardized fashion, thus being fully compatible with all other UCDP products.
Based on fully disaggregated data available down to village level, the UCDP GED Polygons Dataset is unique in the sense of no longer treating or even using the country as the main unit of analysis. As such, the product fully reveals the regional, sub-national or trans-national extent of various forms of organized violence. Thus, it is hoped the UCDP GED Conflict Polygons will shed new light on armed conflict for both quantitative- and qualitative-oriented researchers.
The UCDP GED Conflict Polygons will be available for download starting with next week, free of charge, on the UCDP GED webpage (http://www.ucdp.uu.se/ged/), in a number of formats suitable for both analysis and visualisation (KML, ESRI Shapefile and CSV).
A sneak preview of the data, in the form of a short video clip, is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeLgr-b3E-E.
Release of UCDP GED film: Organized Violence in Africa 1989-2010
The UCDP has now released a short film that depicts the extent of organized violence in Africa from 1989-2010, as contained in the UCDP’s Georeferenced Event Dataset (UCDP GED). Using a visualization software called Spatialkey (produced by Universal Mind, http://www.spatialkey.com) the film shows the expansion and contraction of organized violence in Africa over calendar months from 1989-2010.
The film shows not only the trends of violence over months, years and five-year intervals, but also gives a hint regarding how the UCDP GED can be used to model the outbreak, spread and resolution of violent conflicts over time and space. Future releases of films will track specific actors, conflicts and countries over time and space.
The film is available on Youtube at this address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KiQTDFJdtY (or search for Organized Violence 1989-2010 in Youtube’s search engine).

Stunning. . .Readers are irresistibly drawn into Weaver's dogged struggle to unravel a complicated game of cat and mouse. . .Steinhauer is at the top of his game--but when isn't he? (USA Today)
The action is lickety-split and spiked with exceedingly satisfying spy craft. (The New York Times)
Not since Le Carre has a writer so vividly evoked the multilayered, multifaceted, deeply paranoid world of espionage, in which identities and allegiances are malleable and ever shifting, the mirrors of loyalty and betrayal reflecting one another to infinity. In this intensely clever, sometimes baffling book, it's never quite clear who is manipulating whom, and which side is up. (The New York Times Book Review)
This ambitious, complex story spans the globe. Even when the intricacies of its plot are most challenging, we are fascinated and swept forward. Steinhauer has been likened to John le Carre and rightly so. Both men carry readers deep into a rival spy agency, one Soviet, one Chinese. . .Zhu may in time be to Weaver what the Soviet spymaster Karla was to le Carre's George Smiley. Olen Steinhauer's Milo Weaver novels are must-reads for lovers of the genre. (The Washington Post)
OLEN STEINHAUER, the New York Times bestselling author of eight novels, is a two-time Edgar award finalist, a Dashiell Hammett award winner and has been shortlisted for the Anthony, the Macavity, the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger, the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger, and the Barry awards.

Baseball's protective hat should be a no-brainer for pitchers
JUL 01, 2014 11:31p ET
Say this for Padres reliever Alex Torres: We do not know where the future will take this promising 26-year-old left-hander. But we do know a part of him already has made it to the Hall of Fame.
Yes, that goofy looking thing that makes his head look top-heavy and rivals gawk and joke.
And, you know, the thing that eventually might save a life in the major leagues.
So far, nobody else is wearing the prototype protective cap that major league baseball has developed to prevent what happened to former Padre Chris Young, the Rays' Alex Cobb, the Diamondbacks' Brandon McCarthy and the Reds' Aroldis Chapman from happening to others.
But that's not stopping Torres, who has worn the cap in his past five outings and has no plans to abandon it now.
"I don't really care what others think," says Torres, a friendly, soft-spoken native of Venezuela. "I just care about myself.
"If I don't put up zeroes out there because I'm hurt, then I can't make money."
Torres came to the Padres along with starter Jesse Hahn in a January trade from Tampa Bay, which is where his trailblazing ways trace back to.
It was Torres who was summoned from the Tampa Bay bullpen last June when Rays starter Alex Cobb was drilled in the skull by an Eric Hosmer line drive. Cobb missed two months with a concussion and vertigo. Torres pitched 1 2/3 innings immediately thereafter and earned the victory.
But it wasn't the "W" that stuck with Torres.
"When I came into the game, he was already on his way to the hospital," Torres says. "That was a really tough moment, after the pitching coach [Jim Hickey] said I was going to pitch after that happened.
“I prefer to look ugly than to hear from other players, 'Sorry you're on the disabled list.' ”
"I was really shaking. My legs were shaking. It's not easy to take that off of your mind, especially when you're there. It was a really bad moment. A really bad situation.
"I don't want to spend three or four months on the disabled list, or to not be able to play baseball again."
MLB officials toured spring training in February and March with an early prototype of a protective cap that was greeted with great interest and overwhelming apathy. No thanks, most pitchers said. Good idea, but way too cumbersome.
What you're seeing now is a refined version of that idea.
The Padres received the current version of the cap from the manufacturer in early June, and Todd Hutcheson, the club's head athletic trainer, has been wearing it regularly during batting practice ever since.
"My whole plan was, nobody was ever going to wear it because it looks silly," Hutcheson says. "So my goal was to desensitize guys to it so they won't [mock] it."
Slowly but surely, the Padres have become accustomed to the cap and rarely anymore does Hutcheson hear any wise cracks.
But Torres has.
And Dodgers set-up man Brian Wilson cracked, "Are you bringing your speakers home with you, or what?" Because it looks like a small book or something is tucked inside the cap on each side of the head to protect the temples.
Like Brian Freaking Wilson, of all people, with that shoe-polish-enhanced beard, and that Mohawk, and that stringy long hair and all of those tattoos, has any room whatsoever to critique what another human being looks like.
Know what Torres told them? This: "I prefer to look ugly than to hear from other players, 'Sorry you're on the disabled list.'"
You can define courage any number of ways, but one of them surely is to act on your convictions and do what you think is right despite what others around you think. Kids, you could do a whole lot worse than to remember THAT around the ol' schoolyard.
"It goes well beyond the game, wearing a protective hat," Hutcheson says. "It says a lot about our society. Without going too deep, you hear a lot of comments."
Anyone who remembers Young hitting the ground after Albert Pujols' line drive connected with his forehead at Petco Park on May 21, 2008, can understand why Torres is wearing the cap ... and why others should follow suit.
Torres, in fact, received a text from his former Tampa Bay teammate David Price shortly after Price saw Torres wearing the cap in a game on television.
Torres said the text read along these lines: "Funny. Ha ha ha. You look like a Super Mario. That's awesome. You look really good. Keep doing what you're doing."
"I asked him in a text back, 'Are you going to wear it?" Torres said. "He said, 'I don't think so. Maybe later.' I said, 'You should use it because you're a starter. You pitch longer. I only pitch one or two innings.'
"As a starter, you never know. It can be today, or tomorrow."
You never know. Exactly. Which is why it is incumbent upon MLB to continue to refine the cap as best it can, and why other pitchers should feel a responsibility to follow in Torres the Trailblazer's path.
This extends way beyond baseball. A guy gets drilled in the head, it affects wives, children and other loved ones.
"Everyone knows," Torres says, "a line drive on my head, that maybe will cost me my life.
"That's why I wear it."
It's a no-brainer. At least, it should be.
Meanwhile, Torres' original protective cap was scheduled to arrive in Cooperstown this week.
Here's to hoping that, maybe one day, it won't be such a novelty.

We study the determinants of stock market development and the growing migration of capital raising, listing, and trading activity to international exchanges. Economies with
better fundamentals have larger and more liquid markets. As fundamentals improve, however, the degree of migration to international exchanges also increases. This leads to gains for corporations in the form of lower costs and more liquidly-traded shares. Fullyfledged local stock exchanges are thus becoming less necessary for many economies. Furthermore, migration can leave too little domestic activity to sustain a local exchange. Therefore, the functions and forms of stock exchanges in many economies need rethinking.

What does it mean to be organic? By choosing organic products, you can feel confident that the produce you eat or products you use don’t contain chemicals that could potentially cause serious health problems in the future. There is so much more to the benefits of using organic products. In case you need help deciding if you should, here's four reasons to win you over!
1. Organic Ingredients Have Fewer Toxins
In the United States, there are few safety regulations within the skin care industry. And that’s a scary thing for your health. Skin care products can play host to a number of chemical ingredients that are skin and health irritants - including parabens, carcinogens, and allergens. An eye-opening fact: there are currently 12,500 ingredients used in skincare products, but the United States has tested only 11% and banned only 8. Choosing products made with non-toxic and organic ingredients helps to keep your skin and body performing at their very best.
2. Mainstream Cosmetics Lack Nutrients
Most commercial cosmetics contain very little in the way of nutritional ingredients that can truly benefit your beauty. Instead of helping boost the health of your hair, skin or nails they use chemicals to temporarily mask any issues you may have. Organic products, on the other hand, are often rich in ingredients like:
Vitamin C: a superpower when it comes to antioxidants and it fights free radicals, which attack the skin’s support structure and leads to imparting collagen and the aging of skin.
Vitamin E: another powerful antioxidant that soothes out the skin and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Vitamin A: vital for the repair of skin. If you notice your skin is dull, flaky, or quite brass, look for products that include this.
3. Organic Products Help the Environment
Using natural and organic products in much better for the environment. Skincare products that contain chemicals can have a very damaging impact on the environment, sprays and perfumes that are released into the atmosphere can be very harmful, as well as the manufacturing process that takes place to create them.
If you use natural and organic skincare products not only will you reap the benefits of beautiful skin, but also can enjoy them guilt-free without harming the environment.
4. Value for Money
There’s a misconception that organic skincare and makeup is more expensive than mainstream brands, but that’s far from true. Organic and natural skincare products are actually very cost effective when compared to their non-natural alternatives, especially as the quality of the ingredients means you can use less, which in turn means the product will last longer over time.

James Goldstein isn't just another basketball fan. A Lakers season ticket holder since 1961, you may have seen him sitting with Kanye West during fashion week, noticed his house on the cover of Architectural Digest, or read about his romance with Jayne Mansfield. He keeps the specifics of his wealth and power vague, but his clout is unmistakable. Always courtside, draped in couture and topped off with those signature wide brimmed hats, he's recognizable during any broadcast. During the regular season, Goldstein attends practices and press conferences, even occasionally popping up in the locker room. During the NBA Playoffs, he criss-crosses the map, attending as many games as possible and constantly reminding us how enmeshed he is in the league's fabric. There's been much written about Jimmy, but it's still rare to hear from the man himself. So GQ asked him to check in with us periodically during this year's playoffs and tell us about his experiences. This is his fourth dispatch. Click here, here and here for the first three.
As told to Myles Brown:
I'm pulling for Oklahoma, but LeBron winning his first championship is the other side of the equation for me. Compared to last year, there's a huge difference. LeBron deserves a championship, so that would certainly please me no matter my disappointment with Oklahoma losing.
I've always liked all of the Big Three individually, but in the back of my mind, I kind of resent the way the team was put together. If they had come together organically, if they were all drafted, I wouldn't have the same reservation. My background is a time when free agents didn't exist, so that's where I'm coming from. I certainly understood the player's standpoint, why they wanted it, but as a fan, from my perspective, I wasn't happy with free agency when the concept began. I want the playing field level--teams like the Lakers have a supreme advantage--and I'm hopeful that more Oklahoma situations will come about.
I sat with Lil Wayne Sunday night. He had a child and his brother was sitting in between us, but I was in his group of tickets so to speak. We didn't speak much other than greeting each other and saying goodbye to each other, but I talked to his brother while Lil Wayne was busy. I was a little shocked that he didn't arrive until there were three minutes left in the first quarter. I don't know what he usually does, but he didn't arrive on time when we were seated in Oklahoma either.
From my personal experience, the Miami fans are at the bottom of the league when it comes to enthusiasm and support. It's one of the few places where the fans are less enthusiastic than Los Angeles. Maybe it's because they all come from somewhere else and they don't have the same local pride, but whatever the reason is, when I come here for a regular season game, there's a very small percentage of seats being occupied when the game starts. People come late and at halftime they'll go to get a drink and not come back until the middle of the third quarter. Then they leave before the game is over. I would always prefer to see the local fans that are really into it, rather than some corporate fans who didn't show up until the Finals.
I'm living basketball 24 hours a day in certain cities, but not in Miami. It's my favorite city in the United States. I love the beaches, I love the nightlife, I love the fact that it's international compared to the rest of the country. Chances are after the game I will go to Prime 112 restaurant, where a lot of basketball people hang out, including the players sometimes, whereas in these other cities I have nothing else to do except hang out with the basketball media and go to all the media sessions.
The overall experiences in Oklahoma consisted of going to Mickey Mantle's restaurant after games. In the daytime, an Oklahoma fan I barely knew took me to his country club to play tennis. The fans there have received me in such an amazing way that I've never experienced anywhere. He stopped me at the game and thanked me for coming to Oklahoma. He asked me what I would be doing in between games. I said that I would like to play tennis and sit by the pool and he said that he would invite me to his country club. I assumed the country club was somewhere within Oklahoma City, but it was twenty miles away. He came all the way in, picked me up, took me out there and he took me all the way back. The people there just couldn't get enough of me.
I read about Tony Parker's injury during a brawl the other day. It sounds like he wasn't part of the fight. He was just an innocent bystander and got hit with some flying glass, which incidentally reminded me of what happened to me one time. This was probably thirty years ago in Los Angeles. It was exactly the same thing. I was at a nightclub and a fight broke out, I got hit the forehead with a piece of flying glass and had a severe wound that I still have a scar from.
I don't see that type of thing often. In Saint Tropez, when the clubs are so crowded and there's too much drinking, you almost expect for fights to break out, because people get pushed around by other people and all that. But there are very aggressive bouncers there and at the beginning of anything that looks like trouble, they just drag people out of the club. So I really haven't seen much fighting.
I don't like drinking that much. I don't enjoy the taste of it, I don't feel that it's good for me, so it's pretty easy for me to resist. When I was very young, I felt social pressure to drink hard alcohol like all my friends, but I moved past that stage pretty quickly.
In Europe I get out and dance. In the U.S., in recent years, the hip hop music taken away the amount of dancing that goes on in my opinion. But it's going the other way. I keep reading about how House and European music has taken over Las Vegas and I get the feeling that there's going to be a trend back to dancing in the U.S. I enjoy hip hop music, but I don't think that it provokes the feeling in people to get up and dance. Not because it's more aggressive, it just doesn't have the dancing rhythms that house music has.
I've run into Kanye West a few times at Laker games, but most of the time that I have spent with him has been in Paris during Fashion Week. It was a matter of running into each other at various shows and I could see that he admired my style and a natural friendship evolved. I can't recall ever discussing basketball with him though. We discuss fashion and I've told him about my house. He's expressed interest in seeing it, but it hasn't happened yet.
He's extremely nice to me. I've always been impressed by the fact that he doesn't have a group security guards around him. He's always around by himself and talks to everybody. He seems like a regular guy. He's gotten into the designing of clothes with his own line and has had a fashion show the last two seasons in Paris, which has had a very small, private audience and I've been one of the invited guests.
I could see tremendous improvement from his first one to his second one. The style of clothes that he presented is pretty much along the lines of what I like. So I was quite pleased with his show.
A lot of people encourage me to get into fashion design, but I don't want to do that. I prefer to have fun with it. I don't want to do the work and I haven't been trained in fashion. I have a knack for putting together stylish work, but that's a far cry from knowing all the ins and outs of designing and finding fabrics. That requires formal training like anything else, so I've never seriously considered it.

Well, Animazement once again got Yuu Watase as a guest - which meant another trip for my sister & I to North Carolina. I didn't get all that many good pictures this time, my camera was flaky and hated the lighting. I will be slowly adding pictures, as I am having to edit the majority of them as too dark or blurry.
After you look at the pictures, you can visit Melissa's Anime Fanart Page or you can go back to my main page at Melissa's Convention Pictures.

Cum in the eye. It happens even to the best of us.
While on the air with former Penthouse pet Sam Phillips on The Single Life, she told us that porn star and director Kimberly Kane had told her that semen is particularly painful when it gets in the eye because the sperm present are trying to impregnate the eyeball.
Say what? We hit up psychiatrist and sex therapist, Dr. Madeleine Castellanos to weigh in on the statement.
“Anything that gets in your eye that is not like normal saline will sting or bother,” Dr. Castellanos told us over Twitter. “[Sperm] can’t pass the cornea. Shampoo in the eye is much worse than sperm or semen. Tell them just to rinse already!”
To make sure we did our due diligence to the topic, we also presented the same question to Scicurious, who holds a PhD in physiology and a BS in biology:
“Getting semen in the eye might hurt,” she responded over e-mail. “But that’s probably not because the sperm are trying to get in the eyeball — though the sperm might be like ‘OMG! BIG ROUND THING! MUST IMPREGNATE!!!’ But let’s be honest, sperm aren’t much for deep thought. Sperm, and semen, contain a lot of enzymes which are used to dissolve the egg’s protective coat under normal conditions, and those might cause the pain if it gets in your eye. In addition, putting pretty much anything in the eye is going to hurt, so there’s that as well.”
It’s funny that Dr. Castellanos mentions shampoo being more painful because shampoo appears to have the preferred pH when it comes to dealing with the removal of freshly ejaculated semen. But use cool water! Warm water can cause the semen to clump around the lashes into a superglue-like mess. You don’t want that.
“Of course, swallowing eliminates that problem altogether,” Dr. Castellanos added.
Just make sure everyone has been tested for sexually transmitted illnesses and you’re set to go!

While I was on the train with my “train buddies” one of them said:
train buddy, “You know, I took the stairs yesterday instead of the elevator.”
train buddy, “Yes, I thought about you and all your riding. You inspired me to try it.”
Me, “Great! Now what are you doing for lunch today? Maybe you could do the stairs for 20 minutes and then eat your lunch in the last 10 minutes of your break.”
If I can inspire one person a day to move their body towards a healthier life than I have served my purpose for the day. Now get out there and move!
all for now

Slapping, punching, kicking, bruising, rape, ridicule, constant criticism, threats, manipulation, sleep deprivation, social isolation, and controlling behaviour all count as abuse.

modul21 came about through the idea of developing a high-quality sectional seating system that is not only timelessly modern in look but which – thanks to its innovative modular concept – also enables a wide variety of individual solutions, whether for commercial and institutional interiors or the residential field. As such it provides architects, planners and interior designers a highly-versatile tool for responding to the daily challenges of meeting requirements regarding spatial situations, functionality, variability and aesthetics. The puristic design of the seating elements will add prestige to formal waiting areas as well as lounges, office breakout zones and also private spaces. The modul21 furniture system fits all architectural styles and with its striking presence will lend rooms a distinctive ambience. Modern and yet timeless, the furniture creations will fulfil every prerequisite of becoming a classic.
modul21 is based on a system of individual cushion modules that come in a width and depth that adhere to one and the same grid size, and lend themselves to any type of combination thanks to an aluminium base frame system especially developed for the sectional seating programme. Both the simplicity of this concept and the small 20 cm grid make it possible to join modules of all types together with practically no limitations. The modular design also enables the furniture to be easily adapted to changing needs or spatial situations. The construction of the base frame is designed to enable equipping the items with feet of differing types as well as gliders and castors.
modul21 evolved and underwent fine-tuning during our 25-plus years of award-winning design and development work for noted furniture manufacturers. The design concept is clear, uncompromising and highly distinctive, no matter whether a simple ottoman bench is concerned or a room-dividing breakout zone complete with sound-absorbing elements.
Our society is having to counter new challenges and orient itself every day anew, and thus living spaces change. System furniture has to withstand such a scenario and retain its validity with the changing of times. Varied requirements need to be fulfilled in terms of flexibility, functionality and variability and are as equally important as good design and high aesthetic quality. It is only in this way that the longevity of a product can be ensured for the sake of sustainability and our world’s resources.

The last Sunday of September is Gold Star Mother’s Day. GSM are those who have lost their child(ren) from war wounds.
I thought about the color GOLD and all that it represents and how it fits these strong women who many have taken their losses and turned them into triumphs by helping others.
Gold is known for its’ great worth and its’ rarity. You must sift through a lot of dirt and stones to find the solid rock that shines brightly. Gold is strong and though you can beat it with another stone, it will withstand the pressure. Gold is admired and used as a measure of great worth; gold standard, gold seal of approval, worth its’ weight in gold.
There is also a saying “All that shines is not gold”. But, I know for sure from the many Gold Star Mothers The Arms Forces is blessed to know, that these women SHINE in the face of great adversity and along with their family members have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
If you think you don’t know a GSM, think again. Most likely there is one involved at your child’s school, or a grandma who volunteers, or the lady in the other cubicle, or your insurance agent or real estate agent. Maybe she is your hairdresser or your nurse. Sadly, she could be the woman who is homeless, the woman you see crying at the grocery store, the woman who used to have many friends and smile broadly and now isolates.
Today, as you watch football, eat some great food, spend time with your children and grandchildren, REMEMBER, many have paid a high price for the rest of us to enjoy our freedoms. Keep enjoying life and find ways to keep our country’s freedoms intact in our daily life. This is how we can honor the fallen and their families. A free USA is why they died. May God CONTINUE to bless our country with the freedoms we have known and the reason so many have become Gold Star Mothers. God bless each and every one of you who are Gold Star Mothers. Today and every day, we honor you and remember!

PENN STATE VOTED IN PRESEASON POLLS
Nittany Lions garnered a pair of preseason rankings from the USILA coaches poll and Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll on Jan. 28. Both rankings put Penn State 15th, second in the CAA after Massachusetts (12).
NITTANY LIONS TABBED SECOND IN CAA
Penn State was voted second in the preseason Colonial Athletic Association poll and earned four student-athletes on the preseason All-CAA team on Friday, Feb. 1. The voting was conducted by each of the league's head coaches.
Penn State earned 31 votes, second most to defending champion Massachusetts (35). The Nittany Lions garnered two first-place votes, while the Minutemen earned the other five. Drexel and Hofstra were voted third, while Delaware, Towson and Saint Joseph's rounded out the seven-team conference.
Four Nittany Lions - Jack Forster, Nick Dolik, Kessler Brown and Austin Kaut - were named to the 2013 Preseason All-CAA Team. Kaut is a two-time All-CAA First Team honoree, while Forster and Dolik each have made appearances in the postseason awards list for the CAA.
KAUT A PRESEASON ALL-AMERICAN
On Dec. 4, junior Austin Kaut was named to the Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-America Second Team. A 2012 second-team USILA All-American honoree is a two-time All-CAA First Team goaltender.
Penn State went 9-6 last season and returns the core of its team with just three starters graduating and 31 letterwinners returning for the 2013 season. The 2013 team will see 77 percent of its scoring from a year ago back on the field led by senior Jack Forster, who earned an extra year of eligibility from the NCAA for two knee injuries. Forster, who tallied 40 points last year, sits nine points shy of 100 for his career entering the 2013 campaign.
Aiding Forster's offensive capabilities are Shane Sturgis, Nick Dolik and Gavin Ahern who all scored double digit goals in 2012. Sturgis found the back of the net 19 times, Dolik had 18 markers and Ahern scored 13 goals.
Penn State's potent attack has four Nittany Lions riding point streaks from last season. Leaidng the way is Jack Forster whose 12-game streak started on March 3 against Ohio State. Nick Dolik has an 11-game streak, while Shane Sturgis and Gavin Ahern are at six and three games, respectively.
On Dec. 5, 2013, head coach Jeff Tambroni announced that senior leaders Travis Crane and Jack Forster earned the distinction of captains. Crane, a fifth-year senior in his secon season in Happy Valley, is a midfielder out of Parkville, Md, while Forster of Jenkintown, Pa. is at Penn State for his sixth year.
"Our coaching staff and team are very confident that they will do a wonderful job as we make our way through the spring season," Tambroni said. "Both of [these] guys have been around for a long time, one a fifth-year (Crane) the other a sixth-year senior (Forster), and have fought through a lot of adversity in their own right. I think their experience is going to be great for this team at the time that Penn State lacrosse is in its history, and hopefully going to give us an opportunity to turn the page."
RUNNING THE GAUNTLET
After this weekend's game at Michigan, Penn State faces off against five straight ranked foes including two in the top 10 in No. 3 Notre Dame (Feb. 24) and No. 9 Denver (Feb. 17). Two other teams, No. 11 Lehigh (March 9) and No. 12 Massachusetts (March 16) are ranked just outside the top 10, while No. 19 Ohio State visits Happy Valley on March 2.
Two other Penn State opponents, No. 18 Bucknell (March 28) and No. 20 Hofstra (April 27) are also ranked. Drexel (April 6) and Villanova (March 31) are the next two teams out of the poll.
Of the 14 regular-season contests, Penn State will be home for just five of them, making the Nittany Lions one of the most road tested teams in the country. In total, seven games are true road contests along with two neutral site games.
HOME SWEET HOME
Penn State hosts five games starting with exciting battles with No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 19 Ohio State on Feb. 24 and March 2, respectively. The Nittany Lions host their final three games in CAA play against Saint Joseph's (March 23), Drexel (April 6) and Towson (April 13).
NITTANY LIONS ON TV
Penn State is slated to play two games on television this season: Feb. 17 against Denver at Jacksonville, Fla. on NBC Sports Network and March 9 vs. Lehigh in Chester, Pa. on Comcast Sports Net. The Lehigh game is also scheduled to be broadcast live on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app.
COACH TAMBRONI IN YEAR THREE
Head coach Jeff Tambroni is in his third year on the Penn State sidelines, winning 16 games in the past two years after a 2-11 season in 2010 before his arrival. Last year, Tambroni led the Nittany Lions one win shy of their first 10-win season since 2009 and on the cusp of the CAA Championship. Penn State cracked the top 10 in the USILA poll for the first time in program history on March 5 after wins over Notre dame nad Ohio State. Tambroni has also led Penn State to back-to-back second-place finishes in the CAA and has a 9-3 regular-season record in the conference.
PSU WELCOMES NEWCOMERS
Fourteen new Penn State student-athletes joined the lacrosse team this season. The Nittany Lions welcomed two attakmen, five midfielders, five defenders and two goalies in the class.
NEXT TIME OUT
Penn State flies down to Jacksonville, Fla. for the Moe's Southwest Grill Classic against No. 9 Denver on Sunday, Feb. 17. The game will be broadcast live on NBC Sports Network to a national audience at 1 p.m. It is believed to be the first nationally televised Penn State men's lacrosse match.

National Railcards can save you a lot if you're using the train. Depending on your age and your situation, you are able to get one of the five existing railcards: Disabled persons, 16-25, Two together, Senior or Family and Friends railcards. Railcards can help you pay less for your Edinburgh London train ticket.
A = the cost of the railcard (i.e.: £30)
B = average price cut with the railcard (i.e.: 34%)
C = average cost for a Edinburgh London ticket (i.e.: £50.00)(1)
The first step is to divide A by B: this will give you the budget from which the card will be efficient. You can now divide that number by C. It will give you the approximate number of journeys needed across the year to be profitable.
In our example, A/B = £30/34% = £88.00. Then, 88/£50.00 = 1.76. Your railcard will be profitable if you're doing around 2 trips from Edinburgh to London (one way trip).

Aaron Gracey is a former Royal Artillery officer, and is now System Operator Policy Advisor at Network Rail. He shares his insights on what you should say to a new contact.
An effective elevator pitch is a clear, concise direct message, which outlines why you could be an excellent employee to new contacts. Like everything you do in the Armed Forces, to make things look easy takes a lot of effort, and developing an elevator pitch involves intense preparation, research and practice. So how do you develop the killer pitch?
Step 1: Information gathering and intelligent planning
Tailor the elevator pitch to suit your audience, by researching the organisations and industries that interest you. Research online and ask your contacts in the relevant industry for insight. Understanding the terrain you want to operate within will demonstrate that you are serious about the role, and help to set your elevator pitch into the right context.
Step 2: Identify your target
After researching, identify who can help with your career development. It is pointless attending open days, recruitment fayres and networking events if the right decision-makers are not there. You can see if useful potential contacts are attending an event, by looking at the programme of speakers are and the delegate list.
Step 3: Plan your pitch
Use your research to decide how your skills and experiences make you an excellent match for the role. Develop your pitch by listing your achievements, which includes outlining your actions, their impact and what you learnt. This approach is detailed, succinct and evidence-based.
Step 4: Red-team your pitch
Practice your pitch on friends and family, giving them if possible the job advert to test its relevancy. They can give invaluable feedback on the quality of your pitch, such as the information you share and your presentation style. Video yourself delivering your pitch to others, and during the play back you will notice how you can improve your presentation style.
Step 5: Pick your battleground
Identify where is best to meet the right people. Use social media to identify workshops, networking events or conferences to attend. LinkedIn is also a good platform to demonstrate your knowledge of the environment.
Step 6: Be yourself
When you deliver the pitch, do it as yourself. Avoid second guessing what the person wants, because this will put you immediately on the back foot. Be natural and you will come across as authentic. Remember that the 30 second elevator pitch is to make you memorable and lead to a longer conversation, where you can talk in greater detail about your career ambitions.

Mark Wahlberg is going back to the “Fighter” well one more time.
Wahlberg’s feature “The Fighter” was nominated for an Oscar, and now it has inspired a docu- reality series that has received a pilot order from A&E. He exec produces the half-hour project through his Closest to the Hole productions.
The project is inspired by the loud-mouth, big-haired, pushy, fighting sisters of Micky Ward (played by Wahlberg) and Dicky Eklung (played by Christian Bale) in “The Fighter.” The untitled project is intending to show some of the real women of Boston, Massachusetts, showing the real daily life of these tough ladies who juggle family, work and relationships while remaining hard as nails.
Frequent collaborator Stephen Levinson of Leverage and Bill Thompson of Bill Thompson Productions are also participating. Levinson and Wahlberg were executive producers on the long-running HBO series “Entourage.” The three men also did a pilot called “Teamsters” for A&E, about Teamsters Local 25 in Boston.
“The Fighter” received seven Oscar nominations, and Bale and Melissa Leo won Best Supporting Actor awards.
Filming will begin in a few weeks.
Wahlberg recently starred in “Ted” last summer. He will also play the lead in the newest “Transformers” film.

My recent visit to San Antonio began with not knowing if I was even going to be able to go. It was at that time in the path of Hurricane Harvey, which ultimately took a turn towards Houston as we all now know, I was debating whether or not I should even attempt to visit the city. If I did go, would I be able to visit all of the attractions I wanted to see? Would it be raining and miserable? Would the city be flooded as predicted? Well I decided to roll the dice and flew into San Antonio a day early to arrive before the storm hit. It would be my first time visiting the city, so I didn’t want to lose this opportunity.
My home for the next few days was the beautiful Westin Riverwalk, located along one of the city’s most stunning features. Riverwalk stretches for miles, dotted by hotels, shops, museums, and cafes. Walking along the trail is one of the most beautiful ways to see the city. My room at The Westin Riverwalk was spacious and luxurious, but still felt like home. A separate sitting area boasted a sofa and arm chair in addition to a large desk situated beneath a flat screen television. The views off the balcony were breathtaking and the bathroom was large enough to have a cocktail party in.
The first day in San Antonio was a bit rainy, so I chose to visit The Shops of La Cantera, a beautiful outdoor shopping center about 25 minutes north of the city. At the time, they were exhibiting the works of iconic pop artist, Peter Max. This month they are welcoming renowned Miami-based artist, Romero Britto. The indoor-outdoor experience was the perfect way to spend the day and escape the sporadic outer bands of Hurricane Harvey as they travelled through the region.
The following afternoon, I decided to check out the much talked about Sunday drag brunch at Paramour Bar. Paramour offers stellar views of downtown San Antonio. Joey and I decided to go all out and order a bottle of Prosecco along with a few items off their small but tasty menu curated by local chef, Jason Dady. Drag brunch at Paramour takes place the last Sunday of every month. The theme of that afternoon was Broadway Babes, and the babes brought it. It was really a fun experience.
Without a doubt, one of the city’s most popular sites is The Alamo. Most people know the story of The Alamo, but what is interesting is that British rocker Phil Collins amassed one of the largest privately-owned collections of Alamo artifacts. In the summer of 2014, Collins generously donated his collection to the Texas General Land Office, guardian of the Alamo on behalf of the people of Texas. Collins built the collection over several decades, purchasing some items and even discovering some others just steps away from the Alamo itself. Collins fell in love with the Alamo’s inspiring story as a 5-year-old boy, when he saw the Disney production of Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. When other children were out playing cops and robbers or other childhood games, Collins says that he was re-enacting the Battle of the Alamo.
Not too far away is the city’s tallest attraction, the Tower of the Americas. Located in Hemisfair Park, the 750-foot structure was built for the 1968 World’s Fair and offers panoramic views of the city. One floor below the observation deck is a great restaurant which offers one of the best happy hours in town.
For dinner, I walked to Market Square, a three-block outdoor plaza and currently the largest Mexican market in the United States. There was no shortage of restaurants to choose from. I actually visited Market Square two nights in a row for dinner, opting to try Mi Tierra on the first night and then Viva Villa Taqueria the second night, where I had one of the best tacos I’ve ever had in my entire life. On the way to Market Square, be sure to stop by San Fernando Cathedral.
Gay nightlife in San Antonio is abundant. One of my favorite spots was Pegasus, a friendly neighborhood bar, or should I say complex of bars, all under one roof. There really is something for everyone here and after a few shots, I built up enough liquid courage to jump on stage for some karaoke. Luckily, to my knowledge there is no video recording of me rocking Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart.”
On my final day in San Antonio I visited The Pearl District, a historic brewery that’s been transformed into a mixed-use complex filled with chef-owned restaurants and independent retail stores. Pearl has a rich history dating back to 1883 and is one of the coolest neighborhoods I visited during this trip. My lunch guest and I decided to stop by Cured, a beautiful restaurant featuring the widest selection of cured meats I’ve ever seen. We began our meal with a selection of three meats, my favorite being the Smoked Duck Ham. For my entree, I opted for something a bit lighter, the Crabmeat Ravigote with avocado, tomato, citrus and beets. The sweet crab paired very well with the creaminess of the avocado and firmness of the beets to make for a healthy, but filling dish.
Finally, I had time for one last stop before my journey home. I heard that the Witte Museum had a cool dinosaur exhibit, so of course I had to visit. While there, I got a chance to see the skeleton of Acrocanthosaurus, Deinosuchus (giant crocodile), and a full-size Tyrannosaurus Rex.
San Antonio really does have a little bit of something for everyone. It’s great for budget conscious travelers and the people are extremely warm and friendly. My friends told me about a cave system which I didn’t have time to explore this time around, so I guess it warrants another visit. Time to plan my next visit back to San Antonio, Texas!

Gus had his game day collar on. He is very camera shy, so I got this picture when he was sleeping.
This is Lindsay's freshman year at The Ohio State University. The BIG football game between OSU and Michigan is today. It is a tradition that everyone jumps in Mirror Lake the Thursday night before the game. Of course my girl jumped in and went under~twice!! It was in the 20's and snowing in Columbus, Ohio. Lindsay and her friends weren't arrested. LOL!! She's the one on the left in the pictures. Go Bucks!!

I had posted a picture of this rug a couple posts back. It was on Ebay. I had a question from someone asking if I could change the year from 1841 to 1849. She said that she was from Loudonville and bought the Nelson Beem cabin on Pine Run Road. I asked her who she was and I knew who she is. My son is very good friends with her daughter. In fact my son is going to be in her daughter's wedding in April. What a small world.
Anyways, the next day she asked me if I could change the house into a cabin. First I said no then I thought why not. LOL! So here is the edited version.

Yesterday I went to the Simple goods Show in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. There were so many people there. I bought this, it lights up. I'm going to put pine around it, haven't decided where to put it yet. I ran into Bobbie from Michigan. I saw her there last year, she's in BlestB and PRHG. I saw Kaye from PRHG. Kaye's famous now LOL!! Her house was featured in the Rug Hooking Celebrations Magazine. It was nice seeing them.
I also bought some dried oranges, gourds, pomegranates and a couple candles. I'm going to make garlands. Still need to go outside and collect Black Walnuts to put in the garlands.

There are alot of oaks on our land. All the pine trees were planted by my husband's grandparents. It is so nice to look out and see green in the winter. Most of the other leaves have fallen. I've always wanted to build a house here. But we will leave it just like it is.
This is the last cutting of hay.

I became an atheist when I was about ten years old. God, Jesus, Creation, angels, Satan, wise men from the east, miracles etcetera - it just didn't add up. And now over fifty years later, I am more secure than ever in my godlessness. Strange then that last weekend I acquired a whacking great Bible.
It's more than a hundred years old and if I had a thousand of them I could build a solid house - The Bible House. It's sitting on our living room carpet as I write this blogpost - "The National Comprehenive Family Bible" edited by The Reverend John Eadie, a Scottish theologian who died in 1876. It's like a lump of concrete and about as much use to me.
So why have I acquired it? It belonged to my great grandfather John Thomas White and his wife Annie Holt. They were married on August 22nd 1898 and lived in a humble miner's cottage in Rawmarsh, close to the coal mine where my great grandfather and later my grandfather Wilfred Henry Jackson both worked.
I imagine a Bible salesman knocking on miners' doors, peddling these family bibles - a penny a week perhaps and many homes would have succumbed to his sales techniques even though his customers were generally very poor, living from wage packet to wage packet and from rent collection to rent collection. But never mind they could now find solace within the pages of their comprehensive family bibles, couldn't they?
It is a shame that my great grandparents and later my grandmother didn't keep up the family section at the beginning of this old bible. There's very little to see but what I did discover is that John Thomas died a mile from this house - in Fulwood, Sheffield, a year after my birth. He would have been eighty two. I guess I will never know if my mother attended his funeral nor why he was residing so far from his previous home.
The Bible is filled with fanciful pictures which are more meaningful to me than all that tired verbiage, for I reside like Cain in the land of Nod:-

Dr. Neil Zemmel discusses how patients may benefit from a tummy tuck, liposuction, or a combination of the two.
Richmond, VA — Dr. Neil Zemmel, a plastic surgeon in Richmond, says his patients often express frustration over the difficulty of losing fat deposits on their body that seem resistant to diet and exercise. For these areas, surgical intervention is sometimes necessary. He acknowledges that all bodies are different and says a solution for one person may not be appropriate for another. Depending on each patient’s situation, Dr. Zemmel says he might recommend liposuction, a tummy tuck, or a combination of the two procedures. “Our comprehensive treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s individual body shape, goals, and desires,” he says.
In a blog post entitled, “What You Need To Know About The Tummy Tuck,” Dr. Zemmel says many patients consider a full or mini tummy tuck in order to remove excess skin after a pregnancy or extreme weight loss, get rid of severe stretch marks, or simply to flatten their abdominal wall and tighten the muscles underneath. He notes that some patients might also seek a tummy tuck to improve the shape or contour of their belly button. Dr. Zemmel explains some patients may also elect to undergo liposuction in combination with their tummy tuck in order to remove fatty deposits found in areas such as the flanks, back, and inner or outer thighs.
When considering a tummy tuck or liposuction, Dr. Zemmel cautions patients to be aware that there can be risks associated with these surgeries. He stresses the importance of patient safety, noting that at his Richmond plastic surgery practice he strives to provide the highest level of patient care through methods that will minimize complications and maximize healing at the surgical sites. He says this can lead to not only an excellent cosmetic result, but also a safe surgical recovery:
“Most of our body contouring patients are admitted to the hospital overnight for observation. This allows us to carefully monitor their recovery during the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery. This period of time is critical in obtaining a safe and uncomplicated recovery and we believe is one of the main reasons our patients have an extremely low complication rate after surgery.”
The Richmond plastic surgeon urges those who feel these procedures may be right for them to seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. In consultations with his patients, Dr. Zemmel says he takes the time to get to know his patients on an individual level, discusses their surgical options, then conducts a physical exam in order to determine a comprehensive treatment plan that is personalized to them.
About Neil J. Zemmel, MD, FACS
Dr. Neil Zemmel is a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Medicine and is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. After medical school, he was selected to train in a highly competitive six-year plastic and reconstructive surgery program at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he received comprehensive surgical training and performed many complex reconstructive procedures. He is currently an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Zemmel is available for interview upon request.

Henschke, an Australian icon
Henschke is synonymous with Australia’s viticultural history: six generations have given their knowledge and secrets to their winemaking philosophy over 145 years. From the first vines being planted in 1860, through to the latest vintage, provenance and quality is paramount. The wines occupy a unique place in Australia, and indeed on the world stage.
Viticulture leading the way…
Stephen is the fifth generation of the Henschke family and, like his forbears, carries an inundating passion and respect for the vineyards. By his side is Henschke viticulturist Prue, renowned for her impact on Australian Wine evolution and hailed as one of the country’s best viticulturists.. Following in their footsteps is their son, Johann, who has diligently studied by their side before touring the world to become an accomplished winemaker in his own right.
Prue has held her post since the late 1980s. Her holistic approach to the treatment of the vines across the picturesque vineyards, and the re-introduction of native flora to the area, has been instrumental in helping produce some of the best wines in the country.
‘My mantra is living within the landscape. We owe it to the world to live within the landscape where you are. It’s really, really important to look after it.’
What does this all mean? It means that Henschke consistently produce wines of great poise and elegance: these are wines that speak of the place from which they hail. The festive season calls for something special, so get one of these beauties on your list today!
This wine was named after great-aunt Ottilie Mathilde ‘Tilly’ Henschke, a big accolade to live up to. Immediately, a striking pale straw yellow colour with hues of shimmering gold and lime green, capture the eye. On the nose you are treated to fragrant aromas of gooseberries, guava, honeysuckle and white nectarine with hints of blackcurrant leaf and lemongrass. The crisp blend of Semillion, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Chardonnay produce a perfectly balanced and structured palate. Succulent flavours of nashi pear, white currant and lemon thyme are perfectly complemented by crunchy acidity and texture. The finish is long and refreshing.
Another family eponym, Henschke ancestor Julius, a highly acclaimed artist and sculptor gives his name to this dry Riesling. A reputation for premium Rieslings has been apparent since 1950s, the sandy loam over gravel and bedrock with patches of clay on which the vineyard sits, along with the regional climate, make for superb growing and ageing conditions. A fragrant nose strikes you first, with frangipani, white rose petal and citrus blossom florals. Lime zest, mineral notes and a hint of green peppercorn add some balance. The slightly cooler conditions of 2016 give this bottle an impeccably floral and vibrant feel, with sweet lime flavours and crisp acidity in a very long, dry finish.
This vintage is characterised by the below-average rainfall across all the seasons during 2015. A warm and dry spring enhanced flowering and was followed by one of the hottest Decembers on record. Cooler temperatures and sporadic rainfall in the early new year, brought some relief to the vines. The resulting airy canopies allowed for intense flavour, sugar and colour with mature tannins to develop at harvest, producing exceptional quality grapes. Aromas of spiced plum, red currants and blue and black berry fruits rise from the glass first, followed wisps of floral violets and a grind of black pepper spice. The smooth and supple palate bursts with the same juicy berries and dances with notes of liquorice and crushed tarragon on a long, peppery finish.
Like a phoenix from the ashes, this vintage prevailed through one of the worst bushfires in Eden Valley and certainly came out blazing. It is as though this wine took in the fiery heat of the flames, with spicy red currant, satsuma, plum, and black pepper coming to the fore. A delightful herbaceous mix is then introduced, with a layer of bramble, sage and rosemary. On the tongue are concentrated flavours of redcurrant and blue berries, balanced with black pepper and a hint of floral violet. Length and texture are added to the finish by fine-grained tannins and a clean line of acidity.
The man behind the name
Coming from a line of exceptional winemakers, from a young age Stephen showed an interest in the family business and headed to Adelaide University to study science. This was where he met Prue, and together they ventured overseas to the Geisenheim Institute of Viticulture and Wine Technology, for another two years building their knowledge. They rounded off their studies with the Wine Science course at Charles Sturt University, which honed their skills around Australian grape growing and winemaking exponentially.
In 1979 Stephen took these learnings back home to the vineyards, and the result has been a crafted range of stunning wines. We look forward to seeing Johann take over his legacy and continue to develop the sought-after wines that embody the passion, history and commitment of the Henschke family.

In September I had to pay dorm fees. It's the only money I have to pay to my college. This year the cost of living in the dorms slightly rose, at least for me.
In the past every student used to pay the same fixed amount of money, but this year the dorm fee correlates with one's electricity consumption, which is calculated on the number of electric devices one has in their room. In the beginning of September one was to make a list of devices and hand it in. Nobody knew if any formal checks would be made to verify the list. (I think now that such checks are probable but highly unlikely.) I honestly declared that I used a desktop computer, a printer, a microwave, a mini-stove, a fridge, a teakettle, a hair-drier and an iron. Even after my roommate paid me for the devices we share, I was still a person who seemingly paid more than anybody else. All my acquaintances decided that hair-driers, irons and printers were not worth mentioning, and as laptops were sort of inferior to desktops, they could be forgotten too. Some people were even surprised at my honesty. They told me I could have saved money by omitting several items. But I decided there were other ways of saving money, which would keep my conscience clear. At least now I know that everything I use is absolutely legal, so if any check occurs I'll be okay.
And, by the way, do you know how much I paid? It was only $246 for the whole year. I really find this sum very affordable, especially when I remind myself that I'm getting an education for free, and I'm paying only a fraction of the actual cost of living in the dorms. If I had come up with a blank list, I would have saved about $130. I personally think it's not worth the lying and tricking.

In 2010, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) director Thomas Insel proposed an overhaul in the way scientists think about conditions that affect the mind and brain: Instead of putting people into diagnostic boxes — autism, say, or schizophrenia — based on their symptoms, Insel lobbied for a classification system, called Research Domain Criteria (RDoC), with a strong foundation in biology.
In September, Insel announced his departure from the NIMH for a job with the life sciences team at Google, raising questions about RDoC’s future. But the agency’s new leaders say they plan to forge ahead with the program.
“We don’t see RDoC as being wedded to any one person. It’s a priority within NIMH,” says Sarah Morris, acting director of the RDoC unit.
Insel sought to transform mental health research by moving away from traditional, behavior-based diagnoses. Current diagnostic categories, such as those outlined in the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” (DSM-5), don’t map neatly onto findings about brain circuits and genetic variants, he wrote in a February 2010 blog post. And effective treatments for brain disorders remain elusive.
To lay the groundwork for a new diagnostic rubric, Insel introduced a set of guidelines that encourage researchers to explore mental health through the lens of psychology and neuroscience. These criteria focus on parsing traits and abilities, such as fear and memory, to trace biological and genetic paths to mental illness.
Insel put financial firepower behind his strategy in April 2013, when he announced that the NIMH would shy away from funding proposals based on diagnostic categories in favor of projects rooted in RDoC principles.
The agency plans to continue to back projects based on RDoC guidelines, and researchers are pooling data from these studies in a database, says Morris.
The autism community has mixed feelings about RDoC. Many researchers agree that symptom-based diagnoses need more biological backing, but others say that reducing complex behaviors to specific circuits and genetic mutations misses the forest for the trees.
“Ultimately, what we want to change is behavior,” says Catherine Lord, director of the Center for Autism and the Developing Brain in New York City.
Conceptions of mental illness shift over time, a history painstakingly chronicled in the DSM, the U.S. diagnostic bible that is revised periodically. The DSM diagnoses provide a common reference point for doctors as well as researchers, so that one study’s reference to ‘autism’ is consistent with another’s.
But the boundaries between mental disorders are often messy. Symptoms common to more than one condition blur these lines, and individual differences in the expression of certain behaviors obscure the areas in between, experts say.
“Brain disorders and other chronic medical disorders that physicians deal with are multifactorial and won’t settle neatly into categories,” says Eric London, director of the Autism Treatment Research Laboratory at the New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities.
The RDoC framework is an initial attempt to address this imperfect fit. It shifts the focus from the more than 100 diagnostic boxes in the DSM-5 to five dimensions of thought and behavior: cognition, social processes, arousal, and responses to aversive and rewarding situations. Researchers can explore parts of a dimension — for example, looking into working memory or language within ‘cognition’ — as they relate to mental health.
The idea is for researchers to use various techniques, such as brain imaging and genetic analyses, to identify neural circuits and biomarkers underlying these dimensions. The approach may ultimately serve as a stepping stone to treatments tailored to specific groups or individuals.
The criteria also break diagnostic barriers by encouraging researchers to study the full range of behavior, rather than labeling it as ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal.’ Looking at behavior on a continuum may provide a richer understanding of mental illness, Morris says. “We miss out on important information if we only study individuals with diagnosable disorders.”
London says he would like to see RDoC extended to the clinic. In a 2014 editorial, he called for doctors to keep in-depth medical records that detail a person’s every symptom instead of simply naming a diagnostic category1. This approach could inform research by identifying patterns of symptoms across individuals.
The criteria are still in their infancy, and implementing them is likely to be an incremental, dynamic process, Morris says. For instance, researchers still have to identify the optimal areas to explore within each domain, as well as the best ways to explore them.
They also have to figure out how to balance the goals of RDoC with the behavioral focus of other diagnostic systems, such as the DSM. If they don’t, some experts say the emphasis on brain circuits and animal models threatens to relegate behavior to the sidelines.
“It’s a well-intentioned goal to link biology to behavior; the bad thing is that it demotes behavior to this minor thing,” says Lord, who helped to craft the DSM-5.
Many proponents of RDoC advocate for a hybrid approach in which researchers investigate RDoC domains within DSM-defined conditions. For example, scientists could break the diagnosis of ‘autism’ into subtypes according to certain behavioral or cognitive traits. Some research already suggests that individuals with autism fall into different categories based on their symptoms and patterns of gene expression2.
“RDoC and the DSM are not mutually exclusive,” says Bruce Cuthbert, acting director of the NIMH, who led the RDoC unit until Insel left the institute in November.
Even so, making progress will require a major shift in mindset. Diverging from the long-held silos of traditional diagnoses is likely to take more than just a few decades, London says. “This is probably close to an infinite process.”

The Script are like one of them all-you-can-eat buffets popular in the Midwest: there's a little something here for everybody. The group's overall sound is a fusion of U2-inspired piano rock and Maroon 5's blue-eyed soul (just without Adam Levine's stubble). There also lurk shades of Sugar Ray, Fall Out Boy, the Fray, Timbaland and the Counting Crows. So yeah, what we have here is Ireland's answer to OneRepublic, more or less. Danny O'Donoghue and Mark Sheehan met in Dublin when they were just restless teenagers. Bonding over a love for American soul and R&B, they put together a short-lived boy-band project called mytown. O'Donoghue and Sheehan, meanwhile, grew into a talented songwriting and production duo, eventually relocating to America to work with hotshot producer Dallas Austin (Pink, Madonna, Gwen Stefani and others). The pair soon returned to Ireland, however, and hooked up with drummer Glen Power. A year after signing to the Phonogenic label, the trio scored its first hit, "We Cry." They followed with the even bigger "The Man Who Can't Be Moved." International success necessitated a move to London, which is the Script's current base of operations.

The aim of my research is to identify the molecular and genetic mechanisms that control energy distribution in crop plants and cyanobacteria, and to manipulate them for the improvement of agronomic traits. We depend upon agricultural plants to supply our food and fossil plants to support most of our energy needs. This is possible because their autotrophic activity provides the energy to assimilate inorganic molecules and synthesize an incredible variety of useful products. Since the inception of agriculture, plant breeding has selected for advantageous traits. Current systems and ‘omics approaches provide the opportunity to precisely identify the genetics of the regulatory and metabolic pathways that produce specific desirable compounds. A fundamental part of improving traditional agricultural crops and generating new microbial bioenergy crops will be to optimize energy distribution into metabolically engineered pathways.
In oxygenic photosynthesis, the flow of electrons through membrane complexes in the thylakoids of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria generates a proton gradient, which drives ATP synthesis, and a supply of electrons. The reducing power of these electrons is harnessed primarily in fixation of C, but also in bioassimilation of S and N, biosynthesis of amino and fatty acids, co-factors and pigments, and in redox signaling and stress remediation, among many other processes. Electrons generated at the membrane are connected to soluble enzymes by an electron transfer protein: ferredoxin (Fd). Fd can distribute these electrons to many different enzymes, including the Fd:NADP(H) oxidoreductase (FNR) that supplies the NADPH used in C fixation. There is great diversity in Fds and FNRs, sometimes conserved across great evolutionary distance, and sometimes restricted to specific tissues, such as the bundle sheath of C4 plants. My research uses a combination of genetic, ‘omics, structural, cell biology and biophysical techniques to understand the specific functions behind this diversity. We have helped establish the principle of variable electron partitioning by different ferredoxin proteins as a universal concept in photosynthetic organisms and contributed to understanding of how the structural factors and protein-protein interactions that control electron transport between proteins impact on the physiology of a plant.

Muc-Off go from caring and protecting bikes to caring and protecting cyclists with their range of Athlete Performance products.
As a cyclist, there is probably one brand’s products that we all have somewhere in the garage, shed or wherever we store our cycling stuff. Muc-Off has been helping cyclists clean, protect and lube for over 20 years.
Muc-Off bike cleaner and degreaser are the two must-have products that I always have to hand. They are just two of the 20 products in the cleaning range, with a further 20 to choose from in the protect and lube depts.
So having established themselves firmly in bike care and protection market, they’ve decided to care and protect cyclists with the launch of their Athlete Performance product range.
Athlete Performance Range
The product range consists of shaving products, skincare products, chamois cream and recovery aids. Prices are at the luxury end of the market, with shaving cream at £15.00 for a 250ml tube. This matches other luxury shaving creams and gels, such as the Clinique for Men shaving gel, although the Muc-Off shaving cream is twice the size (250ml vs 125ml).
The shaving range consists of Shaving Cream, a Shaving Brush and a combo gift pack, which at £40.00 is possibly out of reach of some people.
Chamois Cream is an essential aid for cyclists spending more than a few hours in the saddle. Prices are again at the luxury end, with a 100ml tube seeking £13.99 from punters, which compares to £12.99 for a 140ml tub of Assos Chamois Cream. Muc-Off have also added a 250ml pack (£20.00) and 10ml sachets, perfect as a travel pack.
The Muc-Off skincare & recovery range of products kicks-off with a general skin moisturising cream. It contains natural ingredients, like avocado oil and cocoa butter, plus SPF 15 skin protection against harmful UVB rays produced by the sun. The moisturiser is formulated to hydrate, calm and refresh. Other skincare products include;
- Amino Explosive Power Cream (£24): Amino Explosive Power Cream improves the availability of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, which helps to increase strength and energy. Arginine Amino’s are used to make nitric oxide in the body, which leads to an increased blood supply to the treated muscles, and in turn increased oxygen and nutrient levels strengthening the muscles and immune system. The benefit of using Amino acids in a cream is that you can feel them working almost instantly, they are being delivered into the bloodstream directly through the muscles rather than having to be ingested like tablets. Using a cream also allows you to target specific muscles, perfect for cyclists and runners.
- Amino Recovery Balm (£24): Amino Recovery Balm revives, reconditions and freshens your body whilst providing a gentle cooling sensation. The balm calms, relaxes and rejuvenates your body to help regeneration and boost energy levels using the amino acid Glutamine which is the most abundant amino acid in the muscle cells.
- Amino Ultra Endurance Cream (£24;): If you want to ensure your body is maximised for serious endurance then Muc-Off’s Amino Ultra Endurance Cream will condition your body to be ready for anything. During intense training and competition, waste products like lactic acid and ammoniac can build up and decrease your performance. Muscles are also naturally broken down during exercise and proteins, which are built from groups of amino acids, play a vital role in building and repairing muscles.
- Luxury Warm Up Cream (£15): Muc-Off Luxury Warm Up Cream will warm, strengthen and stimulate your body, to ensure you are in the best possible condition, ready to face whatever weather mother nature throws at you! This cream combines a mix of natural extracts and the Muc-Off heating system, which actively controls the warming temperature provided to your muscles. This primes the treated areas to ensure you are in an optimal condition before you start a training session or competition.
I haven’t used the Muc-Off products for long enough to give an extensive review so I’ll withhold judgement for a short while and will update this article in a few weeks.

There are some things you love in your youth that you know you'll love forever. Hello Kitty and Sanrio are some of those things. I hope my future daughters are prepared to love them too.
I came across this post by DollyBeast a little while ago about The Small Gift Los Angeles Art Show and loved every single inch of it. They invited 50 artists including Buff Monster and Audrey Kawasaki to recreate the Sanrio characters, and the results are awesome. I can't pick a favourite, but I would very much like the $14,500 Buff Monster "All My Favourite Flavours" piece.
Check out Japan L.A. for more and to buy what's left of the pieces.

Introduction Live Chat Box For Website
Provide Support is a Live Chat Service that can be implemented on sites and operated as a third party client. There are many customizable aspects of the particular tool, and using live chat available on your own website is a process that can be completed in a couple of minutes. As a personal favorite of the staff at Flytonic, we are pleased to review and break down the varied elements of Live Chat by ProvideSupport.com. Live Chat Box For Website
The Live chat app itself is much more involved than your normal customer. You’ll be able to see each of those visitors that are on your website at any given time, in addition to their own IP address, their referral source, their local time, working system and a whole lot more. While some of this info will be a whole lot more beneficial than the rest, it is going to help keep you (or your designated chat operators) as educated on your visitors as possible should they be in need of any help. They offer 10 days free trial, no credit card required.
After you install an account, You are attracted to a site that seems a little old fashioned. It looks like it is packed with advertisements, but it is just a website edition of ProvideSupport. If you won’t let this bother you too much, you may read the upcoming steps that you ought to take, like customizing your conversation messenger window, add chat buttons for your emails, produce a set of predefined replies and a lot more.
Provide Support Advantages
In Provide Support you can Personalize your operator’s console along with your own greeting message and company’s emblem. You can also put in your operator’s image so the chat appears more private. The live chat button on the site can be chosen from an existing gallery, or you may upload your own image. The chat messenger can be customized with colour schemes and styles that fit your site’s main theme.
If You Would like to match your own Site’s style, you can customize the conversation messenger with offered fashions and colour schemes.
Real-time visitor monitoring
The real time visitor Feature allows you to view your visitor’s IP address, server name, referrer address, pages visited . It is also possible to find a world map and a spot where a user writes to you.
Transfer chats between customer service reps
Provide Support offers She ability to move ongoing discussions between representatives. The other agent can follow-up the case and answer within minutes. It is helpful when an agent doesn’t possess the knowledge to solve the instance. Thanks to transferring talks there’s no delay, which increases client satisfaction.
Spell checker with a few Languages such as US, Canadian, Brazilian Portuguese, French, French, German, Italian, Spanish and several others is built in the Operator Console. It automatically checks your spelling while you’re typing your message from the Live Chat Operator Console and highlight words that might be spelled incorrectly.
Additionally, it has a suggestion list. If you’re on the fly you spell something incorrectly at a live chat session, then this spell checker will give you a drop down box with a list of possible spellings and you’re able to choose the right word. Live Chat Box For Website
Provide Support Disadvantages
I am not an avid fan of The look of Provide Support interface. I miss that the personalization when it comes to the whole website. The image on the home page is a Stock picture which provides you the belief that everything there doesn’t have any character as well. The video tutorial I watched felt automatic, like it was not the actual person speaking.
I like brands with personalities. While the dearth of personality here might have no effect on customer service on your site, it definitely discourages individuals like me by using this program.
Provide support provides 24 integrations. They integrate with Content Management and Shopping Cart Systems such as WordPress, Magento and Shopify and many others. I didn’t find the integration with Google Analytics though.
When it comes to pricing, Provide Support provides”live chat packages for businesses of any size.”
They allow four Kinds of Payments, every month every 2 months, every six months and annually. Paying annually is the best alternative or all of the plans. They provide 3 plans — little company using 1 operator, Corporate aims with 3 operator and Business with 10 operators. If you are interested in more operators, then you can take a look at the PDF file where they specified costs per operator profile. It looks like this:
The conclusion for Provide Support
With ProvideSupport you Can provide personalized support. A geographical demonstration of real time visitor information provides you an insight in what customers are looking for. You’ve got a lot of customization options that you may use in your chat.
If you’re not bothered by A little old expression of the application, you may discover there what you want to give customer support to your customers.
Free Trial Period
Live Chat From Provide Support could be attempted without any price for 30 days. All attributes (outside of further operators) could be accessed with this absolutely free time trial period. Provide Support won’t always harass you if you don’t take advantage of their offer, possibly, and billing going forward is very straightforward.
In our Opinion, one of our favorite things about this service is how smooth and easy it’s to use together with the”no hassle” form of charging and support that is provided. Not one of the writers at Flytonic have personally run into any problems using Live Chat from ProvideSupport.com and we could confidently recommend it to all our customers. If you’re on the fence about whether or not to implement a live chat option on your site, our very best suggestion would be to give this program a download, check it out for 30 days, and choose at the end of the free period if you’d like to keep from there.

Contributes historical perspective to topics such as "11 year old shot dead in pub car park". I have not read all 412 posts but it seems to be about the welfare state as something we have lost.

So Blair was socialist? That makes even less sense.
We're gradually paring down this 50 year experiment to a realistic few months after 1845.
This 1845 probably means 1945, so people assume

"We're gradually paring down this 50 year experiment to a realistic few months after 1845."
Its true, the Welfare State ceased to exist in June 1946.
About tea time.

Official dealers around the nation will hold free Harley Street Parties on February 21 when they officially begin selling the Street 500, although dealers have already taken hundreds of paid deposits around the country from learners, women, novices and even Harley riders wanting a second bike for urban duties.
Riders and even those without a licence, will be able to take the new learner-approved 500cc motorcycle for a “spin” with demo rides and a Jump Start demo at the Street Parties.
The Jump Start program that has been run by Harley for years allows non-riders to experience the sensation of letting out the clutch and going through the gears on a Harley safely harnessed to a “rolling road” machine.
The experience has led many a non-rider to become a rider. Unfortunately for Harley they have had to learn and begin their riding career on other brand bikes.
Now the Harley Street 500 gives Harley the chance to get novices on their bikes and develop brand loyalty from the start of their riding career.

Origin and development
It is unclear when exactly Bhavageethe started but in 1920's and 30's there were many attempts to set tunes to poetry. By the 1950s it started taking a good shape and a highly talented musician - P. Kalinga Rao was instrumental in spreading this art form. He set tunes to the poems of many famous Navodaya poets, and gave performances on All India Radio as well as public gatherings. The art form started gaining popularity through his rendering of Udayavaagali Namma Cheluvu Kannada Naadu, Yaaru Hitavaru Ninage,Anathadim Digantadim,Baarayya Beladingale, Brahma Ninge Jodistheeni etc., He laid the foundation of Sugama Sangeetha and hence is considered to be the father of this form.
The 60s and 70s saw lot of emerging musicians contributing to this field. H.R.Leelavathi, Padmacharan, H. K. Narayana in South Karnataka and Balappa Hukkeri in North Karnataka played a significant role in popularising the art across Karnataka. Their service to the field through lot of compositions also is commendable.
The next major personality in the field was the unparalleled Mysore Ananthaswamy. Till then, though there were a lot of compositions, they remained as more or less a subset of classical music from the musical perspective. It was Ananthaswamy who could think out of the box. He not only crossed the barrier of classical music, but was instrumental in adding its own subtleties to Bhaavageethe. With instrumentation also taking different shape by that time, he introduced lot of changes to Orchestration. By that time, Bhavageethe was quite popular and businessmen dared bringing out cassettes of the same. With that, 'Nithyotsava' became the first Bhavageethe Album to be released. There were a lot of popular albums to his credit. 'Nithyotsava', 'Bhava Sangama', 'Minchu', 'Rathnana Padagalu' to mention a few.
Another young and dynamic talent emerged in the 70s - C. Aswath. Highly talented and a great visionary was Aswath, that, his way of blending the lyrical and musical dynamics was hard to match. His unique way of rendering a song, with emphasis on lyrical dynamics and word power was amazing. He also bought about lot of changes to the art. Dramatic elements, virtual picturization etc., could be observed in abundance in his compositions. He was instrumental in making Shishunala Sharif's poems popular across the length and breadth of Karnataka. His popular albums are 'Mysooru Mallige', 'Shishunala Sharif Sahebara Geethegalu', 'Chaitra', 'Kannadave Satya' etc.,
P.Kalinga Rao, Mysore Ananthaswamy and C.Aswath are considered to be the trinity of Sugama Sangeetha. The mid 70s to mid 90s probably the golden age since, in this period,
- The art form had matured enough to be considered an independent genre
- It started adding its own theories through lot of experiments.
- In the majority of this period, the major exponents Ananthaswamy and Aswath were at the peak of their careers
- Commercialisation due to increasing popularity and subsequent dilution of the art had not started.
A lot of musicians have been successful in popularising Sugama Sangeetha through their compositions or singing. Following is the summary.
P.Kalinga Rao, Mysore Ananthaswamy, C.Aswath, H. K. Narayana, Padmacharan, H.R.Leelavathi, Baalappa Hukkeri, Raju Ananthaswamy, N.S.Prasad, B.K.Chandrashekar, B.V.Srinivas, Sunitha Ananthaswamy, Jayashree Arvind, Praveen D Rao, Pravin Godkhindi, M.D.Pallavi, Archana Udupa,chidambara kalamanji, Upasana Mohan,vasantha kanakapur, Gartikere Raganna, Manjula Gururaj

Current situation and future of Sugama Sangeetha
Post Ananthaswamy and Aswath era (2000s), there are very few notable and dedicated contributors to the field. Though there were some exceptions like 'Kannadave Satya' event, Sugama Sangeetha could not get a wide base of audience. Another reason could be, the dip in standard of Kannada poetry at the same time. Even today, a full-fledged Sugama Sangeetha concert without the compositions of Kalinga Rao, Mysore Ananthaswamy and C.Aswath is hard to imagine.
Karnataka Sugama Sangeetha Pariashath's 11th annual Sugama Sangeeth conference "Geethotsava – 2014" in Bangalore, on 7–9 February on National College ground, Basavanagudi Bangalore.

“All literacy practices can be considered creative.” Discuss.(2000 words)Prior to any discussion on the topic, it is imperative that the definitions for the key terms are given so as to ensure complete clarity.Literacy practices refers to “people’s everyday practices of producing and interacting with texts.” (Papen and Tusting, p312) This can include basic and tedious practices such as filling in forms, to more interesting practices such as writing a newspaper article, or composing a song perhaps.Creativity refers to “making something which is new, which did not exist before the creative act,” or “making something which is original, which is unlike things that have been made before.” (ibid, p.315) While the term is particularly fluid and open to different interpretations, this definition will suffice here for the purpose of this assignment.Although there are various approaches to the study of creativity – Carter (2004, cited in Maybin, p. 414) coined the term inherency model for creativity relating to the “formal aspects of language as an abstract system of sounds, grammar and meaning” – for the purpose of this paper, Carter’s second identified approach to understanding creativity in language – the sociocultural model – will be utilised.
In this model, creativity in language is seen as determined to a greater or lesser degree, by social, cultural and historical factors.Studying specified texts and drawing out elements of creativity, in for an example a poem, is a specific task with a specific purpose, and is generally something pupils may do in school, but the real creativity, as highlighted by Camitta (Papen and Tusting: Reading A), is the collaborated effort to create a poem, song or rap purely for personal reasons.In her case study over three years at a Philadelphia high school, Camitta studied varieties of literacy among students who believed that “writing is central to transacting social relationships,, to making meaning out of their lives, and that the act of writing signals that the truth is being told about them.” (Camitta, cited in Papen and Tusting, p332) For them writing was an active form of self-expression, much similar to music, dance, and drawing.
The types of texts they produced were vernacular – unofficial and closely related to culture, and as such, collaboration and performance were central processes to producing the texts. The author, in his/her free time, would read out or perform their text – be it rap, song, poem, letter – to an audience, who would then collaborate and suggest changes. This highlights the author’s creativity in the first instance, but also the creativity of the audience. As is evident, this is quite different to the classroom setting, as these are texts that the collaborators can make suggestions about for changes which will actually lead to amendments, as opposed to commenting on set-in-stone texts. Context is an important factor in creating creative literacy practices. Camitta’s study focused on pupils who were constrained to a degree by the need to be in certain places at certain times, and hence had to fit their writing around that, but there are people who are much more constrained, and in that sense, their creativity is much more astounding.
Wilson’s research focused on prisoners’ use of creativity. While the Philadelphia high school students used language as a form of self-expression, and also for play and innate creativity, Wilson states that “the vast majority of innovation in the prison setting is used not for play, humour or dalliance, but in order to “keep your mind” … “and to encourage a sense of mental agility in a world designed to reduce everything and everyone to conformity and orthodoxy.” (Wilson Papen and Tusting, Reading B, p.341)Wilson goes on to highlight an important factor, that creativity and language are situated and contextualised by the environments, spaces, times and cultures in which they are located. In the case of the prisoners, their creativity was evident in the spatial and material forms as well. Spatially the prisoners formed a “third space” for themselves, which was separate from the prison and the “outside,” in which to “live” out their sentence. (Wilson, 1999, p.20)
In terms of material creativity, Wilson gives examples of pressing mugs against heating pipes, using the toilet bowl for communication, hiding notes inside tennis balls, and “swinging lines.” (Wilson, Reading B, in Papen and Tusting, p.344) In terms of creativity in literacy practices, prisoners write letters, poems and raps, in a sense similar to the high school pupils. The difference here is that their literacy practices are a result of the “third space,” i.e. to retain a sense of individual identity and a “desire and need to maintain a sense of self agent and not just as subject to other people’s desires and rules.” (Papen and Tusting, p.322).“The possibilities associated with a setting do not determine what is created within any given context; but they do shape what is possible.” (Papen and Tusting, p.320) With this in mind, the reader’s attention is not turned to a different type of affordances and constraints – that relating to new technologies.Bodomo and Lee (2002, cited in Papen and Tusting, p.323) claim that new forms of language and literacy emerge from the introduction of new communicative tools and media,” which in turn give way to the introduction of techno jargon, literary jargon and new types of digital literacies.
The literacy practices associated with new technologies can be categorised into two concepts of creativity as outlined by Kress (2003, p.36). The first is the concept of ‘transformation’, which is the way “the producer of a text can alter and adapt the forms of signs within a mode in relation to their needs and interests” (Kress, cited in Papen and Tusting, p.323). This can be found in modern literacy practices such as emailing or texting. The use of emoticons is an altering and adapting of signs to create a new meaning in a situation where the texter/emailer is constrained by the symbols available to him via the keyboard/keypad, for example, when a colon and a closed bracket are put together thus: : ) they produce: – a smiley face.Kress’ second concept is that of ‘transduction’ which “refers to the moving of ‘semiotic material’ across modes, where meaning that was originally configured in one (or several) modes is moved across to a different one” (Kress, cited in Papen and Tusting, p.323).
Papen and Tusting cite the example of the students in Reading A, who “performed” the poems they wrote, changing from the written to the oral mode. Another very clear example is that of online chatting. Friends usually make plans to meet up in the evening at the local McDonalds for example, but now via internet chat rooms and other forms of internet relay chat (e.g. MSN, Skype), friends can virtually meet up with each other while individually remaining in their own homes. Speech becomes writing, and in many cases still has the feeling of verbal communication, for example with the use of certain greeting words, acronyms, code switching, etc. The author’ has her own experiences of transduction as three of her brothers live abroad and her main communication with them, although previously was via face-to-face or telephone conversations, is now via computer-mediated-conversations. It becomes immediately apparent to her if one of their spouses is pretending to be a brother and is chatting to her from their use of language and the individual creativity inherent in it.
Although the examples above highlight literacy practices that are constrained through the medium (for example, the limited number of symbols on a keyboard/keypad), new technology also offers many affordances for the user. In the practice of ‘blogging,’ “blogs can include visual and other material, producing a kind of virtual scrapbook” (Maybin, p.266), thus drawing on the affordances offered by the Internet. Maybin comments on the dialogic nature of blogging (page 269); in the blog ‘The Story of an Aspiring Romance Writer’, the author’s posts are answered by other ‘bloggers’, who discuss the points raised and provide support and feedback for the author. One act of creativity present in this type of feedback and response is “the dialogic construction of the self” (Maybin, p.269), which is “the shaping of self in the course of responding to others” (ibid). Collaboration – discussed previously in the paper – plays an important role in this particular literacy practice.
Creativity also exists in the chosen medium of a literacy practice; for instance, advertising in Katutura is written on whatever material is to hand, whether it is wood, cardboard or on the wall of a house. Papen notes “creativity here has a material aspect” (p.352); this is clearly evident in Colour Figure 10, which is an example of heteroglossic diversity; this sign contains not only a multitude of voices, but also a multitude of genres. The phrase “Just find me here anytime…” is deliberately informal, even friendly in nature. It implies that the owner is an easygoing person, ready to help whenever is most convenient for his customer. This contrasts with the final line, “Thank you so much for your cooperation”, which adopts a typically business-like ‘official’ voice. Papen sees this sign as containing “a bricolage of genres and registers” (p.352) that is the result of “some careful thinking and creative appropriation of a new language” (ibid).
There may be some parts of speech, or literacy practices, which are seen as creative “in the moment”, but perhaps not deemed creative later on, because there is no knowledge of what went before or after or the context. (Maybin, p.415). A poignant example of this is the author’s mother who came to England from India in her teens with very little knowledge of English, verbal or written. A very clear memory remains of shopping lists on the fridge door. In terms of “material creativity,” as discussed previously, the shopping list is not at all Indian in nature, and most people in India probably do not write them, but having come to England, the author’s mother was creative in that she adopted this simple practice for herself. Furthermore, bearing in mind her little knowledge of English, instead of writing in her mother-tongue Gujarati, she would write in English, in her Indian scroll, spelling items the way she heard them: shugr, bred, weetbiks, etc.
The statement at the heart of this paper was: “All literacy practices can be considered creative.” The approach taken to explore this was the sociocultural model which allowed certain aspects to have a bearing on literacy practices, such as collaboration, performance, context, transformation, and transduction, highlighting that cultural and social change have caused creativity within literacy practices, but it would be a gross misjudgement here to fail to acknowledge that writing and literacy are also causal factors in the process of social change.Crystal distinguished between amateur and ‘professional’ users and uses of playful language. Amateur creativity is in the form of everyday language in riddles, jokes, limericks, playful uses of accents and dialects, nonce words in popular songs and sayings, while ‘professional’ creativity refers to language play in the work of headline and advertising copy-writers, professional collectors of ludic language, comedians and writers of humorous texts. (Crystal, in Carter, R. p.72)
Regardless of which of these a literacy practice fits in to, as Papen and Tusting highlight: “There is an argument that all meaning-making processes have a creative element” (p.315). Furthermore, if one thinks about “language as […] a system that is constantly created and re-created, changed and adapted, then creativity even at this level turns into a normal event.” (Papen and Tusting, p.324)Hence, as a final note, one may state, that every literacy practice, whether for personal pleasure, or for needs, in open and also restricted contexts, to more or lesser degrees are indeed creative..

Rigg, L.S., N.J. Enright, T. Jaffré, G.L.W. Perry and B.P. Miller (2010) Contrasting population dynamics of the endemic New Caledonian conifer, Araucaria laubenfelsii, in maquis and rainforest. Biotropica: 42:49-483
This study compares demographic parameters and population dynamics for high disturbance (maquis) and low disturbance (rain forest) environments of the montane conifer, Araucaria laubenfelsii, in New Caledonia. The establishment, growth, survival and reproduction of ca 2500 individuals were followed in permanent plots over 10 yr. Growth and survival rates for A. laubenfelsii show that it is a long-lived, slow growing tree, with evidence of suppression in the sapling size classes in mature rain forest. Growth rates for all size classes are generally faster in maquis than rain forest. Transition matrix analyses estimated positive rates of population increase (λ values>1), with populations expanding in maquis, and stable in mature forest. Araucaria laubenfelsii is able to regenerate continuously in maquis and early successional rain forest, but recruitment is limited in older stands. Life table response experiment analyses showed that reproduction, and transitions from sapling to mature tree stage, contributed positively to λ in maquis, but negatively in forest. Araucaria laubenfelsii on Mont Do can be considered a long-lived pioneer, with early maquis colonizers helping to drive succession from maquis to forest. While opportunities for recruitment decline with time as rain forest sites develop a closed canopy, occasional gap phase recruitment, combined with disturbance by cyclones, landslides and fire, provide opportunities to ensure species persistence. Understanding contrasting population dynamics of A. laubenfelsii in maquis and rain forest will better facilitate conservation management of this species, particularly given current high rates of land conversion and degradation in New Caledonia.

The ability to model forest distributions in light of anthropogenic disturbance requires a thorough understanding of how trees respond to their physical and climatic environment. The primary objective of this study is to determine how four environmental variables (elevation, latitude, slope angle, and slope aspect) affect the distribution of seven common tree species (Acer saccharum, Betula alleghaniensis, Betula papyifera, Abies balsamea, Picea glauca, Thuja occidentalis, and Acer spicatum) using both regression tree analysis (RTA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) techniques. In general, within the study area, Acer saccharum, Abies balsamea, and Thuja occidentalis abundance was controlled by elevation and latitude, whereas the other species showed limited response to the measured environmental variables. While CCA and RTA showed similar patterns, RTA allows for a more nuanced evaluation of species-environment interactions. Given that the study area encompasses Acer saccharum's northern limit, there were differences in the response of Abies balsamea to environmental conditions in the absence of Acer saccharum.
Goldblum, D. and L.S. Rigg. 2010. The deciduous forest – boreal forest ecotone. Geography Compass. 4: 701-717.
Ecotones have been subject to significant attention over the past 25 years as a consensus emerged that they might be uniquely sensitive to the effects of climate change. Most ecotone field studies and modeling efforts have focused on transitions between forest and non-forest biomes (e.g. boreal forest to Arctic tundra, forest to prairie, subalpine forests to alpine tundra) while little effort has been made to evaluate or simply understand forest–forest ecotones, specifically the deciduous forest – boreal forest ecotone. Geographical shifts and changes at this ecotone because of anthropogenic factors are tied to the broader survival of both the boreal and deciduous forest communities as well as global factors such as biodiversity loss and dynamics of the carbon cycle. This review summarizes what is known about the location, controlling mechanisms, disturbance regimes, anthropogenic impacts, and sensitivity to climate change of the deciduous forest – boreal forest ecotone.

Abstract: Dendrochronological analysis is used to determine white oak’s (Quercus alba L.) sensitivity to mean monthly temperature and monthly precipitation for the entirety of its range in the United States. Throughout much of its range, white oak is sensitive to summer precipitation (positive), summer temperature (negative), and previous season latesummer and fall precipitation (positive). Spatially, populations of white oak in the western and central portion of its range are most highly correlated with these variables, while Appalachian and eastern populations show little sensitivity to monthly climate variables. White oak’s radial growth rate in light of anthropogenic climate change (based on regional and downscaled climate models) may be most reduced in the far western portion of its range (Illinois and Missouri), whereas eastern populations are less likely to be adversely affected.

We analyzed variation in microbial community richness and function in soils associated with a fire-induced vegetation successional gradient from low maquis (shrubland) through tall maquis to rainforest on metal-rich ultramafic soils at Mt Do, New Caledonia. Random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting was used to determine the extent of genetic relatedness among the microbial communities and indicated that the open and tall maquis microbial communities were more similar to each other than they were to the rainforest community. Sole-source carbon utilization indicated variation in the microbial communities, again with greater diversity in rainforest soils. Plate counts showed that both rainforest and maquis soils contained bacteria that can grow in the presence of up to 20 mmol L−1 nickel and 10 mmol L−1 chromium. Understanding microbial community composition and dynamics in these ultramafic soils may lead to a better understanding of the processes facilitating vegetation succession from shrubland to forest on these high-metal substrates, and of approaches to successful revegetation following mining for metals including nickel, chromium and cobalt.
Goldblum, D. and L. S. Rigg. (2009). Throughfall pH in a mixed deciduous-coniferous forest, Ontario, Canada: the effect of overstory species composition. Michigan Botanis. 48: 65-71.
Abstract: Throughfall and precipitation pH were observed for one growing season in an undisturbed mixed deciduous-conifer forest on the east shore of Lake Superior in Ontario. Rainfall and throughfall were collected for pH analysis from late-May through mid-August under the dominant tree species. From a total of 18 measureable rainfall events, pH of deciduous (sugar maple and paper birch) and coniferous (white spruce and balsam fir) throughfall was significantly less acidic than the incident rainfall for nine of the events; particularly for events following deciduous canopy leafout. Deciduous and coniferous throughfall pH differed significantly from each other for four of the 18 rain events throughout the middle of the growing season. Paper birch had the least acidic throughfall and sugar maple, white spruce, and balsam fir throughfall were generally similar and more acidic. The spatial heterogeneity of throughfall chemistry as controlled by overstory species composition, in addition to numerous other environmental factors that differ at fine spatial scales in forest understories, may play an important role in mediating germination, growth rates, carbon assimilation rates, and mortality of understory tree seedlings.
Stan, A.B., L.S. Rigg, and L.S. Jones, (2006) Dynamics of a managed oak woodland in northeastern Illinois , USA . Natural Areas Journal 26 : 187-197
Abstract: We examined the current composition and structure of a woodland in northeastern Illinois and evaluated the early effect of two prescribed burns. In an effort to increase white oak ( Quercus alba L.) regeneration, managers are reintroducing fire into the woodland understory. We assessed canopy species and compared understory vegetation and light, along with soil nutrient characteristics, between a burned and an unburned area. In addition, we monitored transplanted white oak seedlings to better understand their growth and survivorship in the woodland. The canopy was dominated by white oak, but non-oak species, particularly slippery elm ( Ulmus rubra Muhl.), ash (Fraxinus spp. L), and black cherry ( Prunus serotina Ehrh.), dominated the smaller size classes. There were no differences in woody and herbaceous vegetation, soil, and light characteristics between the burned and unburned area. White oak regeneration was poor which appeared to be due to low understory light levels associated with high density of the shrub prickly ash ( Zanthoxylum americanum Mill.) and high numbers of non-oak saplings. Transplanted seedlings also performed poorly, with low survival rates throughout the woodland as a whole. Mammalian herbivory is a likely cause of additional stress to white oak regeneration. Evidence of browsing of transplanted white oak seedlings was apparent throughout the study area. If white oak is to be a component of the future woodland, managers should consider: (1) implementing a more intensive management program aimed at reducing competition from non-oak species and (2) increasing light in the understory.
Goldblum, D. and L.S. Rigg, (2005) Dominant tree species growth responses to climate at the deciduous/boreal ecotone . Canadian Journal of Forest Research 35 : 2709-2718.
Abstract: We consider the implications of climate change on the future of the three dominant forest species, sugar maple (Acer saccharum), white spruce (Picea glauca), and balsam fir (Abies balsamea) at the deciduous/boreal forest ecotone, Ontario, Canada. Our analysis is based upon individual species responses to past monthly temperature and precipitation conditions in light of GCM modeled monthly temperature and precipitation conditions in the study area for the 2080s. We then consider the tree species sensitivity to past climate with predicted conditions for the 2080 period. Sugar maple, located at its northern limit in the study area, shows the greatest potential for increased growth rates under the predicted warming and altered precipitation regime. White spruce is likely to benefit less, while the understory dominant, balsam fir, is likely to experience a decrease in growth potential. These projected changes would enhance the future status of sugar maple at its northern limit and facilitate range expansion northward in response to global warming.
Rigg, L.S. (2005) “Disturbance processes in maquis and forest, and the resulting spatial patterns of two emergent maquis conifers, New Caledonia” (Austral Ecology)..
Abstract: Araucaria laubenfelsii and Araucaria montana are emergent conifers in maquis and forest communities which are subjected to a combination of fire and cyclonic disturbances. Both species are able to survive fire once stems reach a critical size, but most seedlings and saplings are killed. Both species were found to be clumped at most spatial scales for both saplings and trees in maquis, resulting from a combination of patchy fire and a limited ability to disperse seeds. The high degree of clumping indicated that fire disturbances may occur relatively frequently in the field sites. Comparisons of burned and unburned Araucaria montana sites suggest that clumping increases only slightly after fire. Cyclonic disturbances are infrequent but may result in blow-down of large individuals within both maquis and forest. All of the individuals blown-down during the study had been previously fire scarred. Around tree blow-downs, seedling and sapling densities can be high. This likely reflects both the low dispersability of Araucaria seeds and enhanced moisture from the shading of the adult, when it was alive. Disturbance by fire and wind play an important role in the regeneration dynamics and spatial pattern of these species in maquis in New Caledonia.
Rigg, L.S. and S. W. Beatty (2004) “The abundance and spatial distribution of herbaceous and woody vegetation along old field margins in three upstate New York fields” The Great Lakes Geographer.
Abstract: Abandoned agricultural fields are a prominent landscape feature of the Great Lakes region of North America. When fields are abandoned, species are influenced by the nature of the surrounding landscape. This study examined the abundance and spatial distribution of woody and herbaceous vegetation species along old field margins (within 25 m of field edge or hedgerow) and the structure and composition of adjacent hedgerows. Ordination and regression analysis examined the preference of certain species, both herbaceous and woody, for either edge or field interior environments. No herbaceous species were found to decrease significantly with distance from the field edge, although many species were found to occur with greater frequency in the "interior" 10 meters of the transects. A group of "edge" species was easily identified with many occurring more in the first 10 meters of transects. In general, total tree seedling densities significantly decreased with distance from the edge, but this study found no correlation between woody species establishment and species composition of hedgerows, except for sugar maple. Since this study was able to quantify an edge community for both herbaceous and woody species, given time, the edge communities may be used as a possible indicator of vegetation change for the old field community.

Abstract: The transition from deciduous forest to boreal forest is abrupt regionally and topographically in Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. The northern range limit of Acer saccharum is coincident with the forest transition to boreal forest. The goal of our study was to characterize the distribution of A. saccharum seedlings at the transition zone to determine if variability in seedling demographics and genetics with topographic position and along a short north-south gradient was evident. Seedling density, size, age, and growth were evaluated in permanent plots across the regional transition zone, and at the south-facing, ridge top and north-facing limits across the topographic transition. Growth over five years was determined by measuring the distance between terminal bud scars, and compared with regional climate data. Genetic material was collected and analyzed from two of these sites. No significant differences were detected in density or growth of Acer saccharum across the regional transition, but mean age increased and height decreased as the limit was approached. Across the topographic transition, ridge top seedling densities were greater than south-facing or north-facing limits. Genetic variability was substantial with no cohort preference for topographic position detected.
Goldblum, D. and L.S. Rigg. (2002) Age structure and regeneration dynamics of sugar maple at the deciduous/boreal forest ecotone, Ontario, Canada. Physical Geography. 23(2): 115-129.
Abstract: Sugar maple reaches its northern limit along the eastern shore of Lake Superior marking the transition from the deciduous forest of eastern North America to a predominantly boreal forest community. In light of regional warming trends over the past 100 years and projections for even warmer conditions in the future we sought to characterize the current age structure and regeneration status of both sugar maple and boreal tree species within this ecotone zone. Within Lake Superior Provincial Park (Ontario, Canada) a series of west-east trending hills create numerous deciduous-boreal transition zones as sugar maple occupy uplands and boreal species occupy valley bottoms, then once north of the sugar maple limit, boreal species dominate all topographic positions. Unlogged forest stands were sampled in the transition zone on ridges and slopes both north and south of the sugar maple limit. Overall tree density and basal area in sugar maple and boreal stands was similar across the ecotone, but seedling density was significantly higher in plots dominated by sugar maple. Moreover, sugar maple seedlings, but not saplings, were found slightly beyond the adult sugar maple tree limit indicating the potential for range expansion may be limited by microclimatic variables, namely cold air drainage.

Abstract: This study examined the role of shading and cloud-combing of moisture by scattered trees of the emergent conifer, Araucaria laubenfelsii (Corbass.), in montane shrubland-maquis at Mt Do, New Caledonia, in facilitating the succession from shrubland to rainforest. Water collection experiments showed that these trees combed significant amounts of water from low clouds on days when no rainfall was recorded, and deposited this moisture on the ground beneath the tree canopy. Analysis of photosystem II function in Araucaria laubenfelsii and five other plant species using fluorometry revealed much lower photosystem stress in plants beneath scattered Araucaria laubenfelsii than for individuals exposed to full sunlight in the open maquis. Transition matrix analyses of vegetation change based on 'the most likely recruit to succeed' indicated that the transition from maquis to forest was markedly faster when emergent trees of Araucaria laubenfelsii acted as nuclei for forest species invasion of the maquis. On the basis of these lines of evidence it is argued that increased moisture and shading supplied to the area directly below the crown of isolated trees of Araucaria laubenfelsii in the maquis facilitates the establishment of both conifer seedlings and other rainforest tree and shrub species. In the absence of fire, rainforest can re-establish through spread in two ways; first, by expansion from remnant patches, and second, from coalescence of small rainforest patches formed around individual trees of Araucaria laubenfelsii.

Abstract: The stand structure of shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) and soil properties in an extremely fragmented woodlot were examined in northeastern Illinois. The goal of this preliminary study was to examine the effect of extreme forest fragmentation (in a golf course environment) on the structure of oak-hickory remnants and the impact of golf course management on soil properties associated with the remnants. Seedling densities for shagbark hickory, density and basal area for all trees present, and soil samples (pH, bulk density, organic matter, and macronutrient concentrations) were obtained for each remnant and compared to a larger forest plot (11 hectares). Shagbark hickory seeds collected from the study site were germinated and grown under two different conditions: fertilized and non-fertilized to assess the effect of nutrient amendments on seedling growth and persistence. Seedling densities in woodlot remnants indicated shagbark hickory is capable of establishing within a fragmented environment, however, the stand structures indicated a lack of recent recruitment to the sub-canopy. Soil nutrient concentrations were highly variable with no clear trends among remnants. Fertilizer application to germinants indicated that shagbark hickory seedlings have a negative sensitivity to golf course levels of nutrient application. This research suggests that golf course management practices need to take into consideration the persistence of long-lived tree species within fragments to maintain a wooded course environment.

Abstract: The landscape scale pattern of distribution of maquis, maquis with emergent conifers (Araucaria laubenfelsii), and rainforest, on ultramafic substrate at Mt Do, New Caledonia is investigated in relation to soil and plant chemistry, light and moisture. The structure and composition of these vegetation types reflects the impacts of disturbance on the one hand, and of physiological stresses on the other. Disturbance by fire is important in determining the presence and abundance of maquis and rainforest at the landscape level and is discussed in detail by Perry et al. elsewhere in this issue 1. The impacts of light environments, water availability and soil chemistry on the succession of vegetation from maquis to forest are also important. The chemistry of iron-crust and eroded oxisol soils does not vary greatly between vegetation types, and does not appear to define the distribution of species at the local scale. Nevertheless, low concentrations of macronutrients (such as P) and slow rates of biomass accumulation associated with this ultramafic landscape may be important in slowing the rate of progression of the vegetation from maquis to forest. Chlorophyll fluorescence studies of seedlings, saplings and trees in maquis and forest provide strong evidence for severe reductions in photosynthetic efficiency in photosystem II on clear days for seedlings growing in maquis. The importance of increased water supply to plants establishing beneath emergent araucarians in maquis through cloud-combing is also illustrated.
Enright, N. J., J. Ogden, and L.S. Rigg (1999) Dynamics of forests with Araucariaceae in the western Pacific. Journal of Vegetation Science. 10(6): 793-804.
Abstract: Several species of Araucaria and Agathis (Araucariaceae) occur as canopy emergents in rain forests of the western pacific region, often representing major components of total stand biomass. New data from permanent forest plots (and other published work) for three species (Araucaria hunsteinii from New Guinea, A. laubenfelsii from New Caledonia, and Agathis australis from New Zealand) are used to test the validity of the temporal stand replacement model proposed by Ogden (1985) and Ogden & Stewart (1995) to explain the structural and compositional properties of New Zealand rain forests containing the conifer Agathis australis. Here we propose the model as a general one which explains the stand dynamics of rain forests with Araucariaceae across a range of sites and species in the western Pacific. Forest stands representing putative stages in the model were examined for changes through time in species recruitment, growth and survivorship, and stand richness, density and basal area. Support for the model was found on the basis of: 1. Evidence for a phase of massive conifer recruitment following landscape-scale disturbances (e.g. by fire at the Huapai site, New Zealand for Agathis australis); 2. Increasing species richness of angiosperm trees in the pole stage of forest stand development (i.e. as the initial cohort of conifers reach tree size; > 10 cm DBH); 3. A high turnover rate for angiosperms (< 100 yr), and low turnover for conifers (>> 100 yr) in the pole stage, but similar turnover rates for both components (50 - 100 yr) as forests enter the mature to senescent phase for the initial conifer cohort; 4. Very low rates of recruitment for conifers within mature stands, and projected forest compositions which show increasing dominance by angiosperm tree species; 5. A low probability of conifer recruitment in large canopy gaps created by conifer tree falls during the initial cohort senescent phase, which could produce a second generation low density stand in the absence of landscape scale disturbance; 6. Evidence that each of the three species examined required open canopy conditions (canopy openness > 10 %) for successful recruitment. The evidence presented here supports the temporal stand replacement model, but more long-term supporting data are needed, especially for the phase immediately following landscape level disturbance.

1. Composition, growth and turnover of trees in two species-rich tropical gallery forests were examined to evaluate what community reorganization may be needed to transform recently created tropical forest fragments into stable refugia for regional forest biotas.
2. Rates of tree growth and turnover over a 5-year interval were comparable to those recorded in continuous forests and in both communities there had been some tree species turnover in the measured stem size classes during the 5-year interval.

Project Summary: Forest response to climate change is well documented and significant. During past warming and cooling espisodes associated with glaciation, the forests of North America have tracked climate by shifting there ranges north and south across the continent. However, projections of human-induced climate change over the next several hundred years suggest that warming may be much faster than tree species have experienced in the past 18,000 years – in fact, probably over the past two million years. This rapid rate of climate change may severely impact many species' ability to reproduce and persist in regions where they are currently found. This problem may result in altered forest communities dominated largely of species with wide ecological tolerances. Sugar maple, an ecologically and economically important species in the deciduous forests of North America, is likely to be affected by altered climates near its northen limit. These effects may include altered growth rates, changes in survivorship and changes in the plant/soil community dynamics including long term associations with soil microbial partners. This project will evaluate the impact of anthropogenic climate change on soil microbial communities associated with sugar maple seedlings under an artificial temperature and precipitation manipulation experiment. It is designed to complement an ongoing project (NSF 0724256; Rigg and Goldblum) examining growth of sugar maple seedlings in response to human-induced temperature and precipitation change the boreal-deciduous forest boundary located in Lake Superior Provincial Park, Canada. Experimental plots, outfitted with rain-exclusion structures and infrared heat lamps, were established in May 2008. Since sugar maple is a dominant species in these forests it may drive much of the ecological change under modified climates. Soil microbial communities play a key role in geochemical processes including nutrient mineralization and soil organic matter transformation, but feedbacks between soil microorganisms and plant community composition/diversity are largely unknown. We will address two broad questions in habitats undergoing experimental climate change, 1) how will climate change alter soil microbial diversity and soil microbe community structure and 2) what role does the soil microbe community play in the feedback between climate change and soil respiration at the boreal-deciduous forest boundary where sugar maple is dominant. Microbial diversity will be evaluated in a three-fold manner: a) via polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based product analysis, b) via cultivation of microbes, and c) via phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis.
There is no doubt that over long periods of time plant and microbial species respond to climate changes by range shifts, but using analogs from past climate change may not be entirely appropriate if forest ecologists wish to model biotic (both above- and belowground) response to climate change over the next century. Thus, field experiments that simulate the more pronounced and rapid temperature changes can provide constructive results identifying specific responses to alterations in temperature and atmospheric concentrations mimicking anthropogenic impacts. Thus, we aim to add to the growing knowledge base in forest ecology and microbiology that investigates the impact of climate change on natural ecosystems. Fully understanding and quantifying aspects of the carbon cycle in the plant-soil-atmosphere continuum will be critical in determining whether forest soils will become net sinks or sources of atmospheric carbon. A detailed understanding of the largely unstudied impact of climate change on soil microbes and how soil microbes affect carbon sequestration may prove to be a vital component in the expanding field of ecological impacts of global climate change. Further, we expect that our results will provide information on whether ecological thresholds exist beyond which sugar maples and their associated microorganisms may not survive, so that forest managers, soil scientists, modelers, and policy makers can begin to consider when environmental changes may become irreparably detrimental and monitor the environment for indications that those changes are imminent.

The Co-op Food store in Straits Parade, Fishponds, reopened today after a refurbishment costing almost £600,000.
The Co-op says the transformation has creates an “entirely new shopping experience for customers”.
Local man Bob Netherway, who is visually impaired in both eyes due to glaucoma, was invited to open the store. Manager Colston Davidge said: “Bob is known well in the area, everyone knows who he is.
“He is helpful, nice and he is the kind of guy you associate with the word ‘community’.”
Mr Davidge said the new store had a focus on meal ideas, essentials and healthy, fresh foods, with ideas and tips on every aisle. Staff at the store have received additional training to enable them to provide expert advice.
As part of the £587,000 investment, the in-store bakery has been increased, and there are extended ranges of fresh produce, ready meals and pizzas.
Mr Davidge added: “As a co-operative, our staff and members play an active role in the areas in which we trade, and the new store will embrace the fantastic community spirit. Customers will be able to find out what is going on locally, list their own events on a new calendar board and find out more about how The Co-operative’s Community Fund can benefit local groups.”

Mission to Mission Charity Bike Tour
San Antonio, TX
The tour(s) will start and end at Mission County Park Pavilion, with routes going covering up to four of the Spanish Colonial Missions. This year we will also be offering a virtual ride experience, which means there will be an opportunity for everyone to participate!
Mission to Mission is a non-competitive event set in the heart of the Missions National Historic Park. All routes are easily rideable, level to gently rolling and include paved roads maintained by the city, county and state.
The “Family Tour” touches four Spanish Colonial Missions along the San Antonio River and provides a family opportunity for historic tours or just enjoying the restored missions’ grounds. The Family Tour features small rider groups along dedicated bike lanes & hike/bike paths, and as a result can be adjusted to fit interests and skills.
The extended tours offer a self paced historic route that crosses the original Missions Trails, El Camino Real, rural neighborhoods, and Braunig & Calaveras Lakes. In addition, mobile SAG and staffed break points provide support for all three tours.

Looking at the current situation of digital currency market, thinking of investing in cryptocurrency for long term is nothing less than an act of courage. As they say, higher degree of risk attracts higher profit. However, it has been a dark period for all the investors as it is the lowest market capitalization of Blockchain, as observed in past nine months. When you talk about Bitcoin, the monarch of digital currency, has been unsustainable for the past few months. Being a cryptocurrency investor, I too have experienced both rise and fall in Bitcoin prices. I recall the moment when I first invested in Bitcoin, when it was around $800 per BTC and sold a fraction of it when it touched $18000. But, a lot happened between this price range that taught me the key to invest in cryptocurrency for long term success.
The only thing that holds your steps to go for long term is ‘you’. Well, I don’t blame you, it took me a good time as well to understand and not fear the temporary bumps on the path. When you accept the fact that this market is volatile, you must also know that even the best of the investors fail to buy the currency at its lowest and sell at its peak. So, it is okay to miss the best opportunity. Based on my experience with crypto market, in this blog I will share with you how to build a strategy to invest in digital currency for long term.
What is the Strategy to Invest for Long Term?
Before you jump on the bandwagon, it is important to form a strategy prior to investing in cryptocurrency as you will not be day trading. Blocking an amount for a long term that too in a highly volatile market requires you to be calm and patient. You should consider the below points before deciding to go long term:
This is the most important entity of your investment. Personally I have invested a sum that I can bear to lose. Hopefully, I prefer not to lose my hard-earned money to a market that doesn’t guarantee assured profits. . It is important that you don’t take high risks and invest only as much as you can bear to lose. The reason being that higher amount invested would directly affect your risk taking and decision-making skills.
2. Selecting the Exchange:
Don’t take it lightly! Your chosen exchange plays a big role in your long-term investment in cryptocurrency. You must learn that from the scams that make the headlines every other day. You surely don’t want to lose your money to a non-trustworthy exchange, which may shut the business overnight and runaway. Always go for the trustworthy organization and check for big countable names associated with it. Do your homework before investing, no matter how small or big the amount it is!
3. Don’t Predict:
This is the most common mistake that people make. And I say that from experience, as I did that too. But, with time, I got to know that it is not a share market and those beliefs and assumptions wouldn’t work here. So, don’t predict and draw a conclusion without a careful analysis. Unlike, share markets, if you see a severe economy crisis in some Asian country, don’t panic and sellout your digital asset as you may end up losing your own economy.
4. Go with the Flow:
Again, don’t rush into making decisions. Don’t let the temporary bumps and bubbles affect your decisions. It is good to grab the opportunity but it has to be done wisely. I remember selling all my currency when it hit the highest of all the time and then regretting moments later when it rose to $4000 more to what I had sold on. Not just that, I repurchased on the increased prices and then, it collapsed. Yes! That really did hit bad!. Had I followed my instincts and not shown any cupidity, although less but I would have some agreeable units.
Control and Convince Yourself to Face the Fear:
I understand the waves of thoughts and ideas that hit your mind when you see Bitcoin price fluctuating. It is obvious to feel this way. But, you ought to control your moves. You are not supposed to let your decisions be price-centric. Be informed that the biggest hurdle towards long term investment in cryptocurrency is ‘you’. Also, you must control your emotions and take a look at the following:
1. Don’t Invest in Something you Don’t Know:
Cryptocurrency includes thousands of digital currencies and counting. There’s a new asset added almost every day. But, you must know and understand the digital currency you’re investing in. Don’t go after the fancy names and the advertisements about how great they are and how soon they are going to occupy every bit of the market. If you’re really carried away by a currency, hold your steps, research and then make a decision.
2. The Unfelt Fear of Bubble:
Bubble is the most common incident that takes place in cryptocurrency. It means a peculiar rise in the prices of a currency. This is when the most of investors lose their cool and end up selling off or buying more at higher prices to ensure they do not miss this “opportunity”. Before investing in cryptocurrency for long term, it is important that you don’t let your instincts get affected by temporary bumps. If you have to make profit out of this bubble, sell off a fraction but control buying them at higher prices.
If you are thinking of overtrading, you are about to open a can of worms. Remember, digital currency is not sustainable and frequent changes in its price are highly expected to influence your trading skills. You must restrict your trading to a specific limit as it may turn to something you never wanted.
4. Spread your Investment:
Now that the market is unpredictable, it is good to spread your investment among various currencies and not go after just one. In an unlikely event of a currency failure in future, you would still have some hope in the form of other cryptocurrencies and you hopefully will not lose your entire investment. For example, if the Bitcoin price falls, you would have Ether to help you. On the other hand, dividing your investment in multiple currencies may also help you gain the best results due to their improvements over time.
Research your Project:
When it’s about investing, you must not join the rat race. It is good to hear the “success stories” of your friend’s friend who claims to have earned in millions. But, don’t let entertaining stories influence your investments. It has to be done carefully and after all the necessary researches. Before putting money into a currency, make sure of the below points:
1. Project Owner:
Before handing your money to someone unknown, find out the person behind the project. You must know whose venture is that you’re interested in. If the person has a clean record and possesses goodwill in market, it’s a go-go. On the other hand, if the person is new to this industry or has some charges against him, you would probably want to rethink.
2. White Paper:
White paper of a currency is a guide or an authorized set of policies and methodologies of the unit. If you’re planning to block a large sum, you must go through the white papers of it and ensure the potential of this digital asset. The white paper reveals almost every information which nobody would tell you.
As we are dealing with cryptocurrency, it has its own way of working. Every cryptocurrency has its set of rules and algorithm that it follows. You may not be a techie, but going through its art of working may help you cultivate the trust, if it deserves.
Once you have sufficient information about the path you’re going to follow, it makes the journey pleasant and less hectic. Although, above suggestions don’t promise any return, but they’re helpful in avoiding any possible loss. Make sure you start with a tiny amount and increase it to up to your bearable loss limits and don’t cross it. The rate of volatility of cryptocurrency is dramatically high. It may become zero in no time. You must know and be ready to accept any repugnant situation.

Summary: In this lesson, we are continuing our long journey with directives. As I discussed few lessons ago, directives play a key role in Angular and we need to spend some time exploring them. Today, I will start with the ng-hide and ng-show. We are using the same book controller as before. We will create another column with spans that are driven by the directives. Then, we will take the same example and edit it to support ng-if instead. This will show us different ways of working with these directives. But keep in mind that the data is hidden but still occupies space as far as the browser is concerned (we are simply hiding the data, and not removing it). Finally, we will see how to add filters to ng-repeat to filter the sets of data we are interested in.

Luxury Hotels and Resorts in Ischia
Ischia is an Italian volcanic island off the coast of Naples. It somewhat unfairly resides in the shadow of the fame of Capri, yet is capable of offering sights that are just as beautiful – if not more. A vast coastline dotted with many towns and cities, Ischia is filled with interesting places to visit and many beaches to relax on. Villas, parks and museums are among some of the man-made tourist attractions, but the natural beauties manage to also do a good job of entertaining holidaymakers. Luxury hotels and resorts in Ischia are of an extremely high standard, filled with wonderful features, beautiful decor, spa facilities and everything you need to enjoy your stay in Ischia to its full potential.

Packing List For Multipitch Rock Climbing
- Climbing Helmet – Make sure it is rating for climbing.
- Climbing Harness – Ensure your harness is in good repair and well fitted.
- Climbing Shoes– As you’ll be spending a long day in them, size multipitch shoes a touch larger. Not so loose that you’ll lose performance but comfortable enough to accommodate your feel as they swell. These shoes are preferably and neutral lasted rather than downturned and pointed. Popular choices are the La Sportiva Mythos or the new Evolv General.
- Belay Device and Locking Carabiner – For multipitch climbing it is imperative that you have the ability to rappel down a doubled up segment of a single climbing rope so devices such as a GriGri or Edelrid Jul2 are inappropriate. Opt for something like the Petzl Reverso, Black Diamond ATC Guide or the DMM Pivot.
- Three Locking Carabiners – One for attaching your belay device to the anchor, one to secure yourself with a clove hitch, one spare. For an in-depth look at carabiner selection you can check out Essential Gear For Multipitch Rock Climbing.
- Anchor Kit – A double length sling (120cm) with two non-locking carabiners. This can also double as a personal tether.
- Personal Prusik – A Sterling Hollowblock (recommended) or 1.2-1.5m of 7mm cordelette.
- Cordelette – A 5m bundle of 7mm cordelette or accessory cord.
- Bail Kit – Throw an extra bundle of cordelette or webbing and a mallion or a few old carabiners in the bottom of your pack.
- Chalkbag – Optional but recommended.
- Rappel Gloves – Optional but recommended if multiple rappels are anticipated.
- Water and Food – It is important to gauge sustenance levels based on your body size, exertion levels, weather conditions and personal preference. Make sure to fuel prior and include a lunch and enough snacks to stay energetic and alert. If its cold, bring a little extra. For water, make sure to hydrate the night prior and in the morning before the approach. Begin with one litre for the climb and add more as the temperature rises.
- Sun Protection – Bring sunglasses, sunscreen and lip chap and be sure to use it.
- Rain Gear – Throw a lightweight, compact rain jacket in the bottom of your pack. You’ll be grateful to have it. I carry the Outdoor Research Helium 2, which is incredibly light, packs down smaller than a beer can and blocks the elements.
- Headlamp – Whether starting early or finishing late, a headlamp is essential. Don’t depend on your phone for a light, as you may need a full battery for emergencies. If I know I’ll be using a headlamp for approaches or descents I reach for the Reactik from Petzl, otherwise the new Petzl E-Lite lives in my first aid kit. It weighs almost nothing and puts out 50 lumens.
- Extra Clothing – Make sure your clothing system is adequate for the anticipated conditions and be sure to add an extra layer like a thin compressible puffy.
- First Aid Kit – Make sure to have a means to splint an injury, stop bleeding and control pain. For me this means a Sam Splint, various gauze pads and rolls, a tensor bandage, an assortment of bandaids, Tylenol and Advil.
- Personal Kit – Include anything pertinent for your own self care. I always include a spare pair of contact lenses, toilet paper, a lighter, small nail clippers, Benadryl and insect repellent but be sure to include any required medications or the like. Many of these items will carry over with items carried in your first aid kit.
- Trekking Pole – If you have a long approach or descent, a lightweight trekking pole will be a saviour. Make sure it is collapsible and fits inside your pack. I like the Black Diamond FLZ Carbon.
- Camera – Optional
- Emergency Communication Device – Always ensure you have a fully charged cell phone and include a small charger like the Goal Zero Flip 10 if you’re worried. Additionally, a personal locator beacon and a means of two-way communication are invaluable. A VHF radio or sat phone could be a literal lifesaver.
Route Specific Equipment
Make sure you have a printed topo or guidebook for your first and second choices of climbs. Bring along an adequate rack, including all required protection, draws and slings, as well as anchor material. Don’t forget a nut tool if you’re climbing trad.
If you’ve hire a guide for the day they will have a first aid kit, splinting material, emergency shelter, communication devices, bail kit and any route specific gear but have a conversation about what is required prior to the climb.
I keep a printed and laminated copy of this list in my gear bag and double check it each time I leave for a climb to make sure no one has forgotten anything. Feel free to download your own copy of the packing list for multipitch rock climbing by clicking on the link below.

Santa on Horseback
by Scott Thomson
Where did this year go? Seems like only yesterday I was writing about all the things I was thankful for during 2012 and in my horsemanship past. Now 2013 is coming to an end. One of the first attractions of the horse world for me was the need to be in the moment, in "horse time," if you will. When you were with your horse, time sort of stood still. No looking forward or dwelling on the past, just dealing with things as they are right now — the way the horse lives. I found this a great way to put the day-to-day grind of life, business and commitments aside for a few hours.
But if things keep moving as fast as the distance from the numbers on my birth certificate, maybe it's best to look forward with a wish list before the coming year becomes history. If there is a Santa, a genie or someone else who delivers on good wishes, maybe he or she will be reading Desert Exposure this month.
This is a big one, and certainly not possible, but I wish for a home for every horse. I could say the same about every dog, cat or other animal that has been neglected or become unwanted, as they have no say or alternatives in their lives beyond what man decides.
For all the horses that will never find a home, I wish there were more people like Carol Johnson and all the volunteers at End of the Road Ranch in Silver City (firstname.lastname@example.org). Working tirelessly, and at great financial burden, they provide a sanctuary for as many horses as possible, where they are promised a home for life. I wish for a lottery win for Carol and everyone else trying to do the same thing for the literally hundreds of thousands of unwanted horses.
In fact, I wish more people would come out and visit Carol's ranch, especially to meet one of the most inspiring horses I know, Cheyenne. Pushing 37 years old, a bit sway-backed and missing a few teeth, she strolls the grounds greeting volunteers and visitors, and keeping an eye on the herd. She even breaks into a spirited trot up the driveway and back to her field at mealtime. She embodies the magic and wonder of the horse and what kindness and respect can mean to an animal. I'm not sure what 37 years old for a horse translates to in human aging, but I hope I look as good and move as well as she does when I'm that age.
I wish there were more breeders like Heidi Collings of Dripping Springs Ranch in Mule Creek. I spent a good deal of time this past summer helping some good friends and students looking for new horses, and had a chance to meet Heidi and some of her Spanish Barbs. Being in the business, it was inspiring for me to see someone who lets her horses grow up as horses and starts them correctly. She seemed more focused on truly matching the horse and rider, based on the variables that are important to me as a trainer, rather than just trying to sell a horse. I'm sure she would walk away from a sale if she thought the match was simply not going to work. You can't imagine how rare this is. If you're looking for a smaller, handy horse with a great mind and superior foundation, you should go see Heidi and her Barbs (email@example.com).
I wish we could keep the instant gratification, quick-fix, top-line mentality of the Internet age out of the horsemanship business for as long as possible. It just seems like instant and horses don't go together. To think there is a shortcut, a piece of equipment or even, God forbid, an app that will immediately solve a performance or behavioral issue with a horse completely devalues the horse as a living being. I hope the horse/human partnership, and the time and patience it takes to build it, does not get abandoned because it takes too long and is really never finished.
Case in point: I wish I never have to hear another story like the one I heard this summer from a mom in one of my clinics who loved horses and bought a pony for her daughter, who had been begging for her own horse — only to find that her daughter spent more time playing with a virtual horse on her computer than with her real horse in the backyard, because the virtual horse was "nicer, cleaner and easy to take care of."
For the veterinarians in Silver City, and all over for that matter, I wish for no weekend emergencies so they can get some sleep and enjoy their families.
I wish that some of the folks in the cattle industry who have been hit so hard by the drought and other factors would take a look at all their land and see that it might still be profitable as a retirement home for horses. There are so many horse owners who have the means but not the space and want or need to retire their horses. There simply aren't enough safe and well-managed retirement operations with affordable prices to meet the demand.
I wish "buying local" and supporting local small businesses meant something to more horse people. Sure, we're a small town and don't have the population and financial base to be state-of-the-art in everything to do with horses. But there is a lot of talent and experience here that will not be able to survive or improve if horse owners ship their dollars out of town every time they think they need help in some area. I'm sure every business owner in Silver City feels the same way. If we don't want local resources to dry up and blow away in the spring winds, we need to keep some money here.
For some of the people I know who are entering the final phase of their riding lives, I wish their last years on their horses will be happy and safe.
I wish I had the time, the space and years left to take all the knowledge and experience I've gained to bring along a horse that is a blank slate. I have a beautiful young horse in my facility for foundation training for a great owner, and it is simply amazing to watch and be part of the learning process. It confirms one of my strongest beliefs that so much of what happens with horses is based on what happens in the first few years, and that developing a horse doesn't require a fight or that you have to "break" them. I wish I had time to do it for myself.
For every horse owner, I wish for lower hay prices.
I wish someone would design riding pants for men that looked like jeans but were as comfortable as riding tights. We could still look manly but not be as grouchy after a long ride.
I wish researchers could find the definitive cause for laminitis and come up with a cure so horses prone to this awful problem could still get a treat once in awhile. A similar wish for finding a way to keep horses colic-free for their entire life.
I wish designers could find a way to make safety helmets and vests look cool enough that more riders would wear them and not feel they were giving up Western style.
I wish more drivers would respect that a horse trailer probably contains horses and stop tailgating.
I wish there was one Mr. Ed out there who could tell us exactly what horses really think about what we ask them to do.
Finally, I wish our two horses could stay as energetic and entertaining as they are now for as long as we're able to get up in the saddle.
Happy holidays to all and have a great New Year! Stay deep in the saddle and think about just how lucky your are to be able to enjoy the company of one of the most amazing creatures on earth.

In pursuit of liquor sales in their long-dry town, Barling leaders are abandoning a court battle in Sebastian County for a “direct attack” in Little Rock.
“I would have liked that issue to be decided here and now, but that’s not going to happen,” City Attorney Matthew Ketcham said. “(Circuit Court Judge Steve Tabor) is not going to let us in. So I think the fastest, least expensive way to do it is just file a direct action in Little Rock.”
The Barling Board of Directors agreed Tuesday in a 6-0 vote with one abstention.
It was argued in the lawsuit that because the entire southern district of Sebastian County voted to go “dry” in 1944, state law requires the entire district to vote on whether a single city within the district can allow liquor sales.
Tabor ruled that the November liquor vote violated the Arkansas Alcoholic Control Act of 1935. Ketcham filed, but was denied, a motion asking Tabor to reconsider allowing Barling to intervene and declare the 1935 law unconstitutional.
“What we were trying to do is get Tabor to decide the constitutionality issue,” Ketcham said. “But that could be months down the road and after an appeal.”
The new plan is to “directly attack the statute in Little Rock by filing a lawsuit,” Ketcham said.
“We would file it in Pulaski County and the attorney general would get involved,” Ketcham said. “We would file a lawsuit for the express purpose of determining whether or not that statute that creates disparity between cities is constitutional or not.”
Mayor Jerry Barling questioned whether the city should continue the fight.
“I think we need to let it drop,” he said. “The money situation is going to cost us more than we’d make in revenue off it, probably, in five years. I say drop it and let the other people fight it.”
Ketcham said there are legislative efforts in the works to change the law.
“Things are in place right now to see that done, as well,” he said. “It’s going to take some time. My opinion is that’s a game-changer, making it where cities can vote wet-dry across the state of Arkansas. You’re talking about millions and millions of dollars worth of revenue.”
Director Bruce Farrar, who spearheaded the effort to get the liquor vote on November’s ballot, said he wants to see the issue move forward because “70 percent of the people voted for it.”
Ketcham estimated it will cost $5,000 to continue the fight in Little Rock.
“I don’t think you’ll win in court,” Barling said.
“But we might,” Director Francis Trosper replied. “I think we ought to go on through with it.”

This week, we’re looking at Donald Maas’ Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook. My goal is to inspire and educate you to the basics of writing, and hopefully help you find resources to enhance your writing.
Yesterday, we looked at Lessons 1-12, Part I, Character Development from Donald Maas. The lessons covered everything from adding heroic qualities to a protagonist (the one we root for), to antagonists, to enriching the major cast with secondary characters. I listed one point from each, and encouraged you to acquire this workbook and complete the fill-in exercises at the end of each lesson to help you grow your novel.
Today – I’ll be listing the lessons from Plot Development with a “nugget” from each. This unit covers Lessons 13 to 24, everything from raising the stakes, complications, layering plot lines, subplots, turning points, conflict, and adding tension.
Part II – Plot Development
Lesson 13 – Public Stakes: Murphy’s Law is in effect here. What can go wrong? As a writer, think of every possible disaster and use as many as possible against the protagonist.
Lesson 14 – Complications: Arising from conflict, make your hero/heroine face major problems on their way to achieving their goal. Obstacles force them to overcome.
Lesson 15 – Plot Layers: To differentiate between a subplot and a plot layer think of it this way: “Layers are plot lines given to the same character.”
Lesson 16 – Weaving a Story: Connecting the various plot lines (not subplots, plot lines) that seem different and unique, bringing them together to enrich the reader’s experience.
Lesson 17 – Subplots: Subplots are what happens to the secondary characters, as they are woven into the main story. There can be several but they should not overtake the main plot, although they might try.
Lesson 18 – Turning Points: The point at which things change. It can be new information, a shift in events, a reversal, a loss, a twist, a challenge, or a disaster. Make your turning points more powerful.
Lesson 19 – the Inner Journey: the hero’s inner turning point, self-perception shows him where he is now. They come to a realization about themselves, this allows them to change and grow.
Lesson 21 – Bridging Conflict: Not what you think. It’s setting up the main action of the story by creating anticipation and making the reader want to find out what is going to happen.
Lesson 22 – Low Tension Part I – The Problem with Tea: Keep tension in your scenes, even the ones that are seemingly benign type parlor, kitchen, or living room settings with tea and coffee.
Lesson 23 – Low Tension Part II – Burdensome Backstory: Dole it out in pieces throughout the novel, don’t info dump in the first couple of chapters. Not knowing everything adds tension.
Lesson 24 – Low Tension Part III – Tension on Every Page: Disagreements, taut and simmering dialogue, friction in feelings. All these can assist in making every scene sizzle with tension.
We’ve now completed two-thirds of the notebook. Many passages from literary works are used to illustrate the main points each lesson has. Exercises at the end help you make your novel on of breakout quality.

Both of the people in the Hyundai were taken to City Hospital in Martinsburg, W.Va., where they were treated for minor injuries, McCulley said. He declined to release their names.
Lupis' body was sent to the Maryland state medical examiner's office in Baltimore for an autopsy.
Shortly before the wreck, Lupis left his job at World Kitchen in Greencastle, Pa., McCulley said.
A woman driving in front of Lupis told police that she saw Lupis' car in her rearview mirror, and saw him swerve to the left. The side of his car was then hit by the front of the SUV, McCulley said.
Michele Potts, Lupis' sister, said Lupis was the youngest of eight siblings. He was a champion wrestler at Martinsburg High School, she said.
Never married, Lupis had no children. He leaves behind a girlfriend and a large, close family, Potts said.
"He loved being around us a lot," she said.
Over the summer Lupis was diagnosed with Lyme disease and suffered from joint pain and other problems associated with the disease, which is caused by a tick bite, Potts said. He had returned to work in November, with his doctor's permission, she said.
Potts said her brother's doctor had warned that he might have additional problems in the future.
As he headed home from work, Lupis called his girlfriend to tell her he was in a lot of pain, Potts said.
Lupis tended to keep to himself, his sister said. "He was a pretty private kid," she said.
McCulley said he did not believe Lupis was wearing his seat belt and his car did not have air bags. Both people in the SUV were wearing their seat belts and their air bags deployed.
The right-hand lane of Interstate 81 was shut down as police investigated.
Emergency officials with Bedington Volunteer Fire Department and Berkeley County Ambulance Authority responded.

I will soon be posting about our enjoyable time away in the great state of New York but am unable at the moment as I am at work and should be working, not blogging… but I want to quickly post a letter that I wrote to Mega Bus. Tyler & I use the service frequently between Mpls and Chicago. We used it this past week between NYC and Rochester but had a bit of an unfortunate experience that I can elaborate on later but will share with you this letter. Mostly because Mega Bus relies on word of mouth and potential riders should know what can potentially happen!
On Saturday 10/10, I took a bus from Rochester, Ny to NYC. While waiting in Rochester the bus was over 2 hours late. Mega Bus was nice enough to contact some of the riders about the late bus but was inaccurate in their time estimate (over and hour off). Many of the riders, including my husband and myself, were extremely inconvenienced by the delay due to plans and reservations. Most of us contacted Mega Bus frequently regarding updates about our bus. Each of us was told by costumer service representatives that the bus was held up at the border and that the driver was waiting for the bus in Buffalo. Some of us also inquired about refunds or future ride vouchers due to the inconvenience but were immediately told that the issue related to the US/Canadian boarder and therefore the company had nothing to offer us. Upon boarding the bus, riders who started their journey in Toronto informed us that there was absolutely no issue or delay in crossing the border, the bus was delayed over two hours due to bad traffic around Toronto. With that information I am inquiring again if we may be entitled to a future ride voucher because of the significant and inconveniencing delay. My husband and I both speak very highly of Mega Bus and we use the service frequently however this unfortunate experience has changed our views. We completely understand the chance for delays whether due to a border, traffic, or construction; however I cannot understand the misinformation and the lack of effort on the part of Mega Bus to please and accommodate its passengers. Mega Bus relies greatly on word of mouth and unfortunately there will not be much good coming from the mouth’s of Saturday’s NYC bound bus. Mega Bus could have easily remedied this issue and received even more/better word of mouth than usual by refunding/accommodating it’s passengers who were stuck at bus stops and malls across the state of New York. Unfortunately I may have to pass up Mega Bus as a cheap and convenient way to travel when I need to arrive somewhere on time due to plans or additional travel reservations.

Automation Alley, Michigan’s largest technology business association, announced Monday that five companies, a university, a county government and a nonprofit will participate in its first-ever domestic trade mission to the 27th Army Science Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, Fla. Nov. 29 – Dec. 2.
“The companies attending are a working example of Automation Alley’s partnerships of business, government and educational institutions from the region,” said Ken Rogers, executive director of Automation Alley. “At the conference, participating companies will be exposed to the latest in scientific initiatives and modernization activities within the U.S. Army. As they collaborate with conference connections, they’ll retain valuable procurement opportunities vial to our regional workforce.”
The following seven companies and institutions will attend:
* DASI Solutions of Pontiac, which assists emerging sector companies in the implementation of CAD, CAE and PDM collaborative technologies used in the product development process by the designing engineer.
* The Detroit Economic Growth Corp., a private, non-profit organization that combines public sector policy with private sector leadership to strengthen Detroit’s economy.

* WorkingHabitat Group LLC of Macomb Township, which provides an online project management portal, complete with a database of thousands of qualified and experienced designers, engineers, program managers and analysts, ready to engage on a per project basis.
This year’s bi-annual conference theme, “Transformational Science and Technology – Enabling Full Spectrum Operations,” focuses on force protection and providing mission-critical support to soldiers engaged in hybrid warfare conditions.
The event is sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) whose mission is to educate leaders in Congress, military, business, industry and academia about the Army’s scientific and technological needs. The conference is aimed at management and technical personnel from industry and government.
Participants will exhibit under the Automation Alley pavilion, which will be adjacent to the TARDEC exhibition.

Waikato braces for bug
The number of patients affected with norovirus at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital continues to rise and clinics in the Waikato are on high alert.
Auckland public health officials said more people from the community have been admitted to Middlemore Hospital with gastroenteritis bringing the number of affected patients to 56 while 57 staff have been affected.
Middlemore Hospital has now closed Ward 5 and Ward 34E has been set aside for acute admissions of norovirus.
Visitors are being asked to stay at home if they are unwell and children are only allowed on wards on compassionate grounds.
Strict hygiene procedures remain in place and people are being urged to wash heir hands thoroughly.
General manager at Anglesea Clinic, Andrew Campus said local medical professionals are concerned that the outbreak might spread to the Waikato and are watching developments closely.
''At this stage everyone is monitoring the Waikato situation to see if anything develops from the Middlemore outbreak,'' Mr Campus said.
''You have got be aware that it is possible that it will spread down here.''
Anglesea Clinic has seen a high number of patients with gastric symptoms in recent weeks but Mr Campus said no cases are related to the norovirus outbreak.
''Over the past three weeks we have seen a spike in presentations of people with gastric and vomiting type symptoms but we are thinking it's more of the tail end of the winter flu season more than anything.''
General manager of Radius Hamilton Dr Navin Rajan said his clinic is also experiencing a large number of patients arriving with gastric symptoms.
''We are actually receiving quite a number of cases of diarrhoea and tummy bug so something is definitely happening in Hamilton,'' he said.

I have had in the past months intermittent blood in my stool. Not all the time, so I thought it most likely was the foods I was eating ... jalapenos...or stress, or internal hemmoroids. Anyway, I finally made the decision to see my doc this past Friday. I gave him my symptoms and he seemed quite sure it must be a IBS, since no history of CC in my family. He told me to come in Sat. am for a sigmoid scope. While I felt pretty confident, since I really felt great. he did the scope and said the rectum looked great, but I have a small tumor on the sigmoid part of the colon. Talk about my whole life stopping at that moment. I have a referral to a surgeon on Tuesday, of course its the long holiday weekend, longest weekend I will probably every experience. I guess I'm just looking for some other people that have gone through similar situation, where the surgery lead them... Please post, I feel very alone and inexplainable distraught.
jalapenos...or stress, or internal hemmoroids
Well if I ate jalapenos it would just about kill me.
I've been diagnoised with Anusitis, after having blood w/stools & cronic anal pain for a long time, although no tumors were present, a tumor could easily be benign, I've read it over & over again where people worry needlessly (worry causes stress). I'm told hemmorhoids rarely cause bleeding, but Anusitis is often the case of rectal bleeding (bright red)caused by diet & or stress and should avoid coffee/cola drinks/beer/garlic/spices/spicy sauces/pizza/curries, maybe even citrus fruits/juices & chocolate. So try to enjoy the rest of the holiday wkend & stay away from those hot peppers. Appearantly Anusitis is hard to detect as it is inflammation of the anal canal, which is just inside the anal opening, if a sigmoid is not done very slowly on the way out it won't be seen. Stay calm & please do post back after your Tues. app't.
panic, I understand the fear that the one word can engender. When the doctor said "I'm not saying it is cancer but it isn't a hemorrhoid and I want you to see a surgeon" I went out to my car and cried. I didn't know how to tell my wife.
On the other hand , mine was 2.5 cm across, not particularily small. Yours may well be small enough to be removed using the colonoscope rather than invasive surgery. If so you will be out of hospital in a few hours or perhaps stay overnight.
Worst case would be surgery and a colostomy. In the sigmoid region though they probably will be able to save part of the rectum and therefore reconnect you later(reverse the colostomy).
Best case would be it isn't cancerous and they snip it out to be safe and you have to get a colonoscopy(careful, don't mix up the words ,, colonoscopy and colostomy) every year or two.
At any rate, kick back, have a drink, eat your favorite food and relax. Worrying will not make anything better and will not speed the time to your next appointment.
Thank you soooooo much for the responses. CAn I ask if the doc says its a tumor looks like cancer, is that something that can be told just by looking from a sigmoid scope? He told me the tumor is small> but that it needs to be removed. He said that it was ulcerated and thats where my bleeding is coming from. My bleeding as I said has been on and off for more than several months. I have not been able to sleep or eat since my visit on Sat. Please help.
The doc told me that the tumor is in a spot where they will go in surgical and cut that part of the colon out and reattach. He said it was better place than in the rectum which could not be reattached. He already said I will need abdominal surgery. So maybe the tumor isnt sooooo small like he said? I dont know what to think. How was your outcome and how long ago where you treated? Thanks for listening
Stay calm ,wait until you see your dr.they will probably take a biopsy and send you for a ct scan.Everything caught early even if in the worst case is malignant,which in many many cases is just benign is very treatable.Dont Panic!!
My cancer was in the rectum, only a few inches from the anus so as your doctor said there was no reattachment. I have a permanent colostomy now.( 2 years plus )
Sometimes with tumours such as yours they will put in a colostomy temporarily, for 6 months or a year then reattach later rather than do it all at once. This is usually only if the tumour is large though I believe.
They will probably just do the surgery and remove it then send the tumour to the pathology lab for a full diagnoses. It is then that it will be determined what, if any, further course of action will be taken. The pathology lab will slice the tumour into thin sections and look at them under a microscope. This is how they determine IF it is cancer and if so, how far into the colon it had gone. If it isn't detected past the inner wall or the first layer of muscle tissue (assuming they do find cancerous cells) then they might not do any chemo or radiation. In my case it had gone to the outer wall of the colon but had not involved any other tissue or the lymph nodes. I got 6 months chemo with 5 weeks of radiation.
Where your tumour is , the taking out of a section of colon may result in your stool being a little looser than normal. It depends how much they remove. The further up the more that becomes a problem since the colon's job is to reclaim water.
My recovery was 10 days in hospital but yours isn't as severe so I would expect less time. I did not require any blood transfusion, I didn't lose much blood(good surgeon).
You will probably be advised to get a colonoscopy in one year after the surgery and if a polyp is found then again the year after that. If no polyp then a colonoscopy every 3 to 5 years. This may be recommened regardless of whether or not this growth is determined to be cancer just to be on the safe side.
I know a colonoscopy is expensive in the states but get it done. In Canada they are covered by healthcare but I had one then ignored going back for 6 years. If I had followed the doc's advice and gone in for one the year before I might still sit to poo.(dummy, dummy, dummy!) oh well c'est la vie, c'est la guerre.

Simbu, who was moved by the timely support from Vijay for the smooth release of Vaalu, took on his Twitter page to acknowledge.
“Thanks to @actorvijay anna for his genuine moral support for #Vaalu … Really means a lot. A true brother from another mother 🙂 [sic]” posted Simbu.
He also thanked his fans and said,”With so much of love and support from all of u 🙂 what else would I expect ?Hope I make u all proud .Neenga illama naan illa 🙂 #TrueFans [sic].”
Vijay apparently spoke to his close distributor friends to make sure that Vaalu releases on time.

Dear Friends of the Balkan Rivers,
Much has happened since our last newsletter. The court decision against the planned hydropower plant Poçem on the Vjosa was definitely a highlight. Read about this ruling, and about what else is new at the Vjosa and other rivers between Slovenia and Albania in this newsletter!
Albanian court stops hydropower project on the Vjosa! Our lawsuit against the HPP project Poçem was the first ever environmental lawsuit in Albania. In early May, the Administrative Court ruled in our favour. However, the Albanian government has already appealed the decision. If necessary, we will take this all the way to the Supreme Court! MORE
HPP Kalivaç revisited:
For almost 10 years, the construction of the dam project Kalivaç has been halted, but now it shall be continued. The Albanian Ministry of Energy and Industry has cancelled the contract with the Italian Company Kalivaçi Green Energy only to open the procedures for re-issuing the concession shortly after. We are considering legal actions. MOREScientists for the Vjosa!
In April, 25 scientists from 4 countries researched the Vjosa in the area of the projected Poçem dam for one week (watch the 3-min video
). In an unusual press conference on a gravel island in midst of the Vjosa, they took position against the hydropower plans. First results, confirming the extraordinary biodiversity and complexity of this natural riverscape, will be presented at a press conference in Tirana on September 19. MORENew key country in the campaign:
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) still has many near-natural rivers, some of which hosting the endangered Huchen. Over 300 HPPs are projected throughout the country and the Center for Environment
(CZZS) – our new campaign partner – together with the Coalition for the Protection of Rivers in BiH are working to prevent this exploitation.Huchen protesting at Drina Regatta:
Together with local fishing associations, we protested for the first time at this year’s Drina Regatta in July – Europe’s biggest river-related event – against the planned construction of HPPs on the Drina. The Drina is the most important river for the threatened Huchen (check out the gallery
). Nevertheless, nine dams are projected, including the mega project „Buk Bijela“. With a floating protest slogan and a Huchen-dummy, we raised awareness for the highly threatened fish species. MOREFreedom to our rivers!
The Center for Environment (CZZS) recently attracted international attention with a very special action: a 14-meter-woman is smashing
an already broken and obsolete dam on the Bašćica River in Bosina and Herzegovina with a hammer. Furthermore, CZZS supports local initiatives in the fight for their river
.Kelag: environmental crime against Huchen River Sana!
The Austrian-German Kelag company is constructing a hydropower plant on the Sana in BiH – in midst of a Huchen habitat, a highly endangered fish species particularly vulnerable to dams. Rivers with Huchen occurrences must be no-go areas for dam construction. Watch the protest videoBankwatch Blogs:
Our partners from Bankwatch are reporting about the grievances in relation to the development of hydropower in the Balkans. Read about local communities putting up a fight against a dam
which is threatening important fish habitats in BiH. Learn more about the Rapuni dam
in central Albania, which led to dire consequences for residents; or about the fact that HPPs are popping up in Albania like bunkers in Hoxha’s time
– with little regard for people and nature.Save Defileul Jiului National Park (Romania)
: The Romanian River Defender Calin Dejeu has recently submitted a petition for the protection of the Defileul Jiului National Park
and its overlapping Natura 2000 area to the European Parliament. Signatures are still being collected. Please sign the petition

It's tough to sit here waiting for the game to start.
I think everyone knows the Rays aren't going to win. I think even the Rays know that.
It really is like watching a movie when you already know the ending.
I wish I knew how to bet online, I'd have placed a lot of money on the Sox after their come from behind win.
This probably sounds really negative, but I don't mean to be. In my mind it's just a fact already. The Rays don't have it anymore, and I wouldn't be surprised if this collapse followed them into next season.
Having to go to work here in Boston tomorrow will be no picnic.
But hey it's just a game... Right?

When planning this adventure of ours, American friends asked me what school is like in New Zealand. I told them I had no idea. It had been too long for me to have any frame of reference. I remember my primary school days being full of fun and knucklebones and elastics at lunch time and that one scary teacher in Standard 3 that spoke mainly Russian…
2 years ago, I set up a meeting with the principal of my old primary school. It went very well and she was lovely but the school had grown to a very large size. I wasn’t looking for little house on the prairie small, just small enough that my children might see each other on the play ground at lunchtime and give or receive a hug if needed. Once back in the States, I began researching my options. I found a school with a very good reputation, in a suburb very close to the city, that I had absolutely no familiarity with. I contacted the office and was told that they would be happy to accept my children as long as we lived ‘in the zone’.
It has been very interesting to observe the many differences between our school in Nashville and our school here. The most obvious difference is the amount of schooling. Here in New Zealand, school starts at 9am and ends at 3pm compared with our school in Nashville which starts at 8am and ends at 3pm. Although the school day doesn’t begin until 9am, kids are allowed to get to to school early and play on the playground. My kids like to get to school at 8:30 so they have 30 minutes of playing on the playground and scootering with their friends. Everything is far more relaxed. From what other parents have told me, New Zealand and Australia have purposely implemented a less is more attitude towards homework. My kids just do not have much homework. Poppy has to read a small book each night and Emma and Tate are encouraged to read also. No hours and hours of worksheets and projects.
School work is done…at school. Before coming to New Zealand, I admit that I was a one of those parents that never complained about homework. If that was what it takes to get ahead then pile it on. Within reason of course. Watching my kids grow and prosper over the last 5 months has changed my perspective on school and the role that it plays in my young children’s lives. In Nashville, tests were heavily prepared for and scores were emphasized as paramount. Here, skills such as problem solving and critical thinking are what is valued more than the number at the top of your paper.
One of the most glaring differences was made apparent during our first term (the New Zealand school year is divided in to 4 terms from early February to December). Parent-teacher conferences. Kids were asked to attend which was a first for us. Emma’s conference was first. I showed up, with a few non urgent questions in hand. Emma’s teacher who is well respected in the school asked me to have a seat. Then I watched as he consulted with Emma about her learning to date and how she was feeling. Then he asked her to come up with some goals for the rest of the term. They spent the next 20 minutes articulating those goals. Then she was asked to sign her goal sheet.
Tate and Poppy’s conferences followed suit (yes even 5 year old Poppy had to come up with her own goals). As we all walked home that night, I was struck by the fact that I had barely asked any questions. The conferences were merely a chance for teacher and student to collaborate on goals and expectations for the coming weeks. Not for parents (like me) to ask repetitive questions that I probably knew the answers to and stroke my ego a little. It makes far more sense to involve the students in these conferences. Give them some buy in. I was impressed.
Back in the States, my kids lunch times are staggered throughout the day to accommodate seating everyone in the cafeteria. That means some kids eat lunch at 10:30 in the morning with a small snack at their desk in the afternoon. Kids get 10 minutes to eat silently and then 10 minutes to converse with friends before they can go outside and play. Structure served with a side of more structure. The amount of time allocated for Morning Tea time and lunch time is comparable to our experience in the US. The time is just used differently. In decent weather, kids eat their morning tea and lunch outside. There are not any allocated areas for lunch, just wherever the student would like to sit. It is up to them how much lunch they eat before running off to play. Again, I was happily surprised with the amount of freedom my kids have during their days here.
At my children’s school here, they have composite classes. This means that half of the class are doing Year 5 work and the other half are doing Year 6 work. Perhaps because I have lived in the land of structure for so long but I still can’t comprehend how the teachers can teach effectively. But they do. The truth is that I am quite removed from their day to day learning. Kids are allowed to be kids here. Traits such as independence and thinking outside the box are strongly encouraged. Field trips include ballets and plays and taking the kids on hikes.
I don’t want to give the impression that things have been perfect. Two weeks after the second term started, one of my children started complaining of stomach aches and didn’t want to go to school. Their appetite and activity level were normal so I kept sending them to school. When I got a call from their school telling me that my child wanted to come home but seemed fine, I knew something else was going on. It turns out that my child was being bullied (please refer to Instagram post with a photo of me chugging champagne from the bottle). I would love to say that one meeting with the teacher and the issue was sorted but things got a lot worse. My child started staying that they wanted to leave New Zealand. I went to war or so it felt. I called meeting after meeting with the teacher and the principal. Without a job or a husband, I had time. I wanted action. They were focused on feelings. I am sad to say that the schools response was very 2016. They were far too soft and far too concerned with political correctness. I finally met with the Mother face to face and the bullying stopped. In those 3 weeks, the end of the day couldn’t come soon enough. Jeff was as helpful as he could be on the other side of the world. But it was up to me to handle, and it was exhausting.
When Emma and Tate arrived here, their teachers immediately moved them up to the next year level. In week 3, Emma stood up in front of her class and taught them computer coding. Poppy had the opposite experience. In New Zealand, most children start school either on their 5th birthday or the Monday after they turn 5. When Poppy started school here in Wellington, she was 5 years and 5 months old. Her teacher assumed she would be reading. She wasn’t. I didn’t know for the first term of the year that she was in a reading group by herself. She didn’t complain, she just kept working at it.
So if someone were to ask me the same question today about the difference in education, I would ask that person to define what they mean by education. I brought my kids to New Zealand to have an educational experience and they certainly have. Ask them and they can tell you what Matariki is and they can sing you several songs in our native Maori language. Ask them about our native Kiwi and what a kangaroo smells like or what an Afghan biscuit tastes like just out of the oven. But perhaps what is most important is that you can now ask my children about their family here. They will tell you about their cousins and they will tell you about their Grandad who was so much fun when he came to visit and they will tell you about their Nana, who spoils them with milky bars and most importantly, love.
Just don’t ask them about saying goodbye.

Hello! Welcome to LJP.
Thanks for stopping by my site! I'm a natural light photographer based in Rochester Hills, Michigan. My love of photography started at a very young age. I can remember loading up on the good 'ole Kodak disposable cameras and wasting the end of the roll just so I could go to the drug store and print out my photos. My mind was blown with the digital era...you can actually see the pictures before you have to develop them?! Amazing :)
Every day I'm inspired by my husband, daughter, son, Boston Terrier, family, and all of my friends and their children. My favorite part of this job is hearing and seeing how excited you are about your photos. Making memories and capturing them on film is so important! I’m excited to be able to extend my love of photography to you and your loved ones. My goal is to for you to fall in love with your photos. I'd describe my style as natural, fun, and creative. I hope you'll enjoy looking back on such special and memorable times in you and your families' lives. I'm looking forward to working with you!!
Fun Facts About Me:
- I have a bachelor's degree from Michigan State and that's where I met my husband
- I have a master's degree from Saginaw Valley
- I'm a middle school teacher, too
- If I could have a superpower I would teleport
- I love to read
- My favorite dessert is warm chocolate chip cookies
- truffle fries...that is all
- I am a lover of music and can't wait until concerts are allowed again
- Beach vacations are my favorite
- My favorite color is green

Why does the File/OpenRecent list in Kate NOW take up the ENTIRE SCREEN?
1. When I use Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor), and select File/OpenRecent, when
I place the mouse-arrow over OpenRecent (ie I DON'T click on it), the list of
recently opened files immediately appears. But the list window takes up the
ENTIRE SCREEN (and no borders or anything).
2. But it didn't used to do that (and I've not changed a setting to make it do
that). What it used to do is this (ie the correct behaviour): I select
File/OpenRecent, THEN have to CLICK on OpenRecent. Then a nice average-sized
drop down list appeared of the recent files.
3. Do you know WHY it's changed its behaviour by itself, to that in para 1?
What it's doing now is a real pain.
4. I've used Kate for some time on another identical laptop (Acer Aspire 5755G)
with the same OS (Knoppix installed to HD), and it hasn't displayed the
behaviour in para 1. (I can't presently use the other laptop to do any
Thanks very much. John.
