A crisp, fast-moving, tough-minded but often comic play about love, language, memory, culture and commitment.
Brodie, a gifted linguist, learns unsettling news about the baby she carries. Unable to get comfort from her girlfriend, she finds it in the two least likely sources imaginable: the elderly speaker of a vanishing language…and a gorilla at the zoo.
Madeleine George’s irreverent and charming new play reveals the beauty and the limits of human language.
Just sit in your chair and let George's ideas and words flood over you and raise you up. Her use of language is at the same time incredibly economic and hugely expansive.
An 80-minute little gem that makes a big impression.
Premiere Production: Precious Little was first produced in June 2009, as part of the Summerworks series, by Clubbed Thumb, under artistic director Maria Striar, where it was directed by Hal Brooks. The play received its Chicago premiere in March 2011 by Rivendell Theatre Ensemble, where it was produced by Tara Mallen and Mary Cross and directed by Julieanne Ehre. The play was subsequently produced in April 2011 by City Theatre in Pittsburgh, under artistic director Tracy Brigden, directed by Tracy Brigden, and in August 2012 by Shotgun Players in Berkeley, under artistic director Patrick Dooley, where it was directed by Marissa Wolf.
Casting Notes: The Ape does not wear an ape suit. The Zoogoers are a single character - the multivoiced character of a crowd - rather than one actor playing many roles.

Farewell to the Führer, farewell to all Führers who have been or who will be.
while his tanks fed upon the roads of Europe.
be they clean-shaven, bearded or sporting a big moustache.
after killing Eva and Blondi, her faithful dog.
but neither by sea nor by land can they find him.
even though we haven’t raped, or robbed, or murdered.
or to cut cane under the Utopian sun.
even though he sometimes preaches better than the Christ of Elqui.
When one can’t take off for Chillán on a bicycle.
And farewell for those who want us to say yes when we Love No.
to conquer Venezuela as his ancestors had.
Enrique Lafourcade, count of La Fourchette.
Not able to get even as far as the Parque Forestal.
on pale and fragile nocturnal doves.
looking to sign autographs for Mayors and grade-school teachers.
with pig’s feet in Los Buenos Muchachos.
while he sings I am the King, thinking himself to be Pedro Vargas.
To sing I had a comrade in unison.
Thinking that like him we’re hardly sensitive.
in the arrogant and maddened hour of skeletons.
of the novel with homonymous title by Enrique Lafourcade.
Note: Extensive notes on “Farewell to the Führer” have not been printed here.

Truth: this just might be *THE* most delicious recipe on Vegan Chickpea to date. I know there are a lot of ways to define delicious and it’s basically impossible to compare the deliciousness of a savory dinner entree like my popular Broccoli, Kale & Rice Casserole to this sweet, salted chocolate peanut butter combo; they’re just not even on the same playing field – though both fields are REALLY tasty ones that I want to play on!
Peanut Butter… oh, Peanut Butter Pie!
No – Chocolate… Salted Chocolate!
AH – Chocolate AND Peanut Butter!
…Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie!!!
Oh, and I’ll add some protein for good measure. And make them in muffin cups because they’ll look cute, and be easier to cut that way.
And THUS… the leaning tower of Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Protein Cups was born.
I suppose I’m biased when it comes to this recipe though because I don’t think there is a better combination in the world than chocolate peanut butter. Am I right?
As a kid my favorite candy was Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. In fact, me and both my siblings all loved those things and have fond memories of getting the different shaped candies at different holidays – Reeses trees at Christmas, eggs at Easter, hearts at Valentine’s Day, pumpkins at Halloween. Those holiday editions always had extra peanut butter in the filling. C’mon, who else knows what I’m talking about!?!
I was in the Netherlands at the time and a few Dutch people looked skeptically at the pie, as it’s not a combination they grew up with or really have in their country (I know, it’s hard not to pity them, right?! Haha! Just kidding… sort of!).
? —> That was my jaw proceeding to hit the floor.
Uhhmmm WHAAAATT!!!!??? “Well then you must try it!” I said.
As it turns out, my Dutch friends we’re overly impressed. They didn’t dislike the pie, but didn’t go nuts for it (pun intended). My friend Roel said, “The taste takes some getting used to.” Well OKAY fine, fair enough, but no more pie for you then – leave it for the rest of us who absolutely it! ?
And that’s my story! I hoped you liked it, because I have another (much shorter) one.
A similar thing happened but in the reverse when I studied abroad in Brisbane, Australia for a semester in college and I was introduced to the infamous Vegemite spread. I literally thought I might throw up in my mouth when I tried a bite of it on my toast. It was the saltiest, most bitter and nauseating thing I had ever tasted. Meanwhile, my Aussie housemates are chomping away with huge smiles, enjoying one of their favorite breakfasts.
To be fair, perhaps I’d like Vegemite now as my taste buds have drastically changed since college, but my gag reflex just might still have that memory from 11 years ago. I’d actually be curious to test this out and see if I still have the same reaction! Alas, it’s not gluten free (it’s made from barley) so I (un?)fortunately wont have the chance. It IS vegan, however, if any of you are interested!
In all seriousness though, I find this all a really fascinating cultural experience because it just goes to show how influenced we are by what we grow up with; our taste buds and preferences literally get defined through what we are exposed to. Makes you think, right? What if we only exposed our children to healthy, clean, nourishing, real foods – they would likely never even develop a desire or taste for high sugary junk foods! I imagine that artificially processed and packaged foods especially would taste pretty icky to them.
Now that I’ve gone off on the biggest tangent of all time, let’s circle back and talk about this delectable and healthified recipe.
There is only 1/3 cup + 2 Tablespoons of date syrup in this entire recipe (which makes 12 servings). Date syrup has probably become my favorite sweetener recently. It’s just dates, so it’s natural, unrefined, vegan and lower glycemic than maple syrup and agave ( = less of a blood sugar spike and better for people with conditions like diabetes).
For Europe: So Free – a new line of vegan chocolates from Plamil (makers of vegan mayo). Some are xylitol sweetened (they have flavors like plain dark chocolate, hemp seed, mint and espresso) and one flavor of dark chocolate is coconut sugar sweetened (the rest of their line has regular sugar so look for that if you don’t eat sugar!). I found that these melt nicely for this recipe.
I used plain sprouted rice protein in this recipe. I was in the Netherlands at the time and my favorite European brand is Pulsin’s Unflavored Rice Protein . For USA options, there are many, but a good, high quality, plain flavored protein powder is Amazing Grass Protein Superfood (The Original) . Whole Foods brand of 365 Everyday Value products also has a plain pea protein powder that would probably work well.
I have not tested this recipe with any protein powders other than Pulsin but I think any powder that you enjoy will work here, as it’s not getting baked, so no need to worry about the texture getting funky from the powder (but I do recommend plain flavor, or vanilla).
I love my silicone muffin molds !
Why use silicon pans? They’re non stick, so your peanut butter cups will pop right out (or your muffins, if you use this for its intended purpose!). Therefore washing this is also easier – no scrubbing required.
You can use these to make other frozen desserts (like mini cheesecakes) or warm savory mini pies that won’t stick to the pan. For baking, I’ve also found them to cook more evenly than traditional pans.
They’re 100% silicon so are BPA and filler free. Also dishwasher, freezer and microwave safe.
If you don’t have a silicon muffin pan you can use a metal one, but I recommend creating tabs from parchment paper that will help make removing the cups from the muffin tins once frozen much easier. The tabs should be about 4″ long and 1/2″ wide. Lay them in each slot of the muffin tin before pressing in the crust.
I seriously could NOT STOP eating these when I made them… it was kind of a problem. At least as far as sweets go they’re much healthier than some alternatives, right?!
I hope you love this recipe just as much as I do!
For the crust: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Divide evenly into 6 portions and press into a silicone muffin pan . IIf you don't have a silicon muffin pan you can use a metal one, but I recommend creating tabs from parchment paper that will help make removing the cups from the muffin tins once frozen much easier. The tabs should be about 4? long and 1/2? wide. Lay them in each slot of the muffin tin before pressing in the crust.
For the filling: Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour evenly on top of the 6 crusts. Freeze for at least 2 hours to set.
For the topping: Melt the chocolate in a double broiler or slowly in a saucepan on low heat, stirring frequently. Distribute evenly on top of the 6 cups. Top with coarse sea salt, to taste. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Keep these refrigerated - they'll last at least 5 days. You can also freeze them and remove them as needed, but allow to thaw at room temperature for AT LEAST 20 minutes first so they're not rock solid!
*I've also tested this with coconut flour and enjoyed the flavor. It gives more of a contrasting flavor and texture than the almond does, but is a little drier. Given that the coconut flour crust will be drier, you need to double the amount of oil to compensate - so 1/4 cup of coconut oil.
**I have not tested this recipe with any protein powders other than Pulsin but I think any powder that you enjoy will work here, as it's not getting baked, so no need to worry about a resulting funky texture (though I do recommend a plain flavor, or vanilla). Whole Foods brand of 365 Everyday Value products also has a plain pea protein powder that would probably work well.
Yummy!!! This peanut butter pie looks delicious and so rich!
Love the product suggestions and info, makes baking a lil bit easier for amateurs like me hah! There's no way mine are going to turn out like yours!
Awesome! Thank you Kate, I hope you love them!
These look and sounds amazing! Gotta try these soon.

Origin of life: It is generally agreed that all life today evolved by common descent from a single primitive lifeform. We do not know how this early form came about, but scientists think it was a natural process which took place perhaps 3,900 million years ago.
Origin of earth and its atmosphere:Earth is believed to have formed about 5 billion years ago. In the first 500 million years a dense atmosphere emerged from the vapor and gases that were expelled during degassing of the planet's interior. These gases may have consisted of hydrogen (H2), water vapor, methane (CH4) , and carbon oxides. Prior to 3.5 billion years ago the atmosphere probably consisted of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), water (H2O), nitrogen (N2), and hydrogen. The hydrosphere was formed 4 billion years ago from the condensation of water vapor, resulting in oceans of water in which sedimentation occurred. Evolution is a branch of science deals with the unfolding of new and complex species from simple species.

We are a pediatric dentist office in Park City UT. We provide comprehensive dental care so that children can stay in excellent oral health. With ongoing, regular appointments, we can identify and treat infections early so that your child can avoid feeling any discomfort or having premature tooth loss. As a kids dentist, we understand how important it is for your child to remain in good health and do our best to make that a reality.
Many people ask why it is so important to visit a pediatric dentist, and the answer is simple – experience. While many dentists may treat children if they are not a kids dentist, they may lack the experience necessary to keep a child comfortable during their dental treatments. When treating children, it is not enough to get the job done, how it is done is equally important. At Mountain Dentistry, we understand that how a child feels during their first several dental visits, will influence how they react to dentistry throughout their lifetime. A positive experience now can set the tone for ongoing, regular dental care throughout their adult life. A negative or scary dental visit can have the opposite effect and make them not want to visit the dentist anymore. In our office, we can treat children and take active steps to ensure their emotional and physical comfort. To learn more or to schedule a dental exam, call (435) 465-3213.
Our children's dentist office is conveniently located in Park City. We treat children from a very young age, believing that preventative oral health care is essential for their ability to eat and speak clearly, avoid discomfort, and decrease the need for braces later on. We also know that most families have an extremely busy schedule, and it can be difficult to make a dental appointment in between school, soccer, and ballet. As a kids dentist, we will work with you to schedule appointments for a time that is convenient so that you do not have to pull the kids out of school or take too much time off work. Let us know what your scheduling restrictions are when calling our office so that we can provide you with a convenient appointment time.
As a children's dentist, we will discuss all of these treatment options, including the possibility of sedation, with you. This way you can make an informed decision as to the dental work you want to have completed and the timing of it. In some cases, parents prefer to postpone treating minor cavities for a few months if they feel their child may experience a developmental milestone, for example turning four years old, that may make them more prepared for the treatment. At Mountain Dentistry, we will work with you to ensure that both you and your child are confident in the decisions that you make regarding their oral health care.
When you get to our dental office, you will instantly see the difference. As a children's dentist office, we have designed our lobby and exam rooms to be kid friendly. You will find age appropriate books, toys and warm colors that can help your child to relax and feel at ease. We also recommend that if you live in the Park City area, bring your child by our office before their first dental exam. When a child is familiar with an environment, they are more likely to be relaxed and to feel safe. Stop by and say hello to our friendly office staff so that when you return to our children's dentist office for a teeth cleaning, your child will feel at ease during their appointment.
When it comes time to clean and examine their teeth, our team has the necessary skills and training to act as a pediatric dentist, that can help your child to feel comfortable during their appointment. With a friendly demeanor and conversation, we can help your child to feel right at home. We also believe in letting children set the pace so if cleaning teeth is too much for the first visit, we will start with an exam and schedule a second appointment for the actual teeth cleaning. The goal is to set a trend for lifelong oral health, and that starts with a positive experience. To schedule an appointment with our Park City kids' dentist office, call 435-465-3213.

Software development can be considered a team “sport”. You won’t be able to develop your product all by yourself. You need a number of people behind you who will be responsible for different areas of your development process. A good software development company provides all the vital roles. Take a look who a perfect team would consist of and what skills they would need.
It’s probably you, the founder, CEO or CTO of the company but sometimes a product manager or the product owner may perform this function.
Deliverables: a well written document with a product idea, initial designs or mockups, and user stories.
A person who is able to turn the founder’s idea into prototypes and designs.
A person who makes sure that the project proceeds smoothly and keeps every team member in the communication loop. The project’s informal leader.
Deliverables: division of tasks, schedule monitoring, priorities definition.
Team of people responsible for turning images into a working software.
Deliverables: high-quality and well-documented code.
Lots of experience is not always needed. What you need instead is also the perspective of less experienced programmers who can have a lot of abilities unrelated to programming itself, e.g. strong communication skills or the understanding of client’s business.
A person whose work may seem invisible, but if a QA does not pull his/her weight, the effect becomes striking for everyone, because of the number of bugs soars. QAs know the project better than anyone involved in the development process. They check every single feature multiple times and create documentation on how to test them after next iterations.
Deliverables: accepted or rejected tickets with detailed explanations.
Courage to speak their mind – a QA is person who is always willing to prove you that you’re wrong.
During different stages of the development process, you will need different abilities of the people involved. For example, after some time, the presence of a product designer may become less useful than more effort from a front-end developer. In order to feel secure about your product’s development, you need to have the option to switch roles in the process.
You also need to take into account the fact that people will take days off, they will fall ill and some of them will even leave the company altogether during the development process. None of those events should affect the development process. Having some additional people on the players’ bench will guarantee the consistency and continuity of work.
Last but not least, don’t forget about the processes and the game strategy. In football, there is a saying that the fans are the 12th man on the pitch. In the development process, your 12th man is the variety of processes that will organize the work of your team. You need to have your processes worked out and written down BEFORE you get to work. Determine the duration of iterations, velocity of releases and communication rules. You can download our Project Management ebook, where we collected our know-how and experience gained over 8 years of working on processes with clients ranging from startups to big corporations. It will help you manage your projects more effectively, master the best communication tactics and successfully motivate your employees.

Later topic: Removing tall sprayer arm from Heidelberg?
Earlier topic: Press movers in Toronto/SW Ontario?
The abby I’m working with has what I think is a reliance cutter, or at least one very similar. It needs a lot of TLC the two major items of which are the back gauge is crooked and I have no idea if the blade height is set right. They’ve been using it with a piece of fine grain pine for a stick, but it was propped up at least a 1/4” above the bed with leads and is split on all 8 edges almost half way through. They have a carpentry shop and I told them if I can’t find plastic sticks to have ones made of a hard wood. There’s a single bolt on the back gauge so I presume that’s straight forward. Loosen the bolt, square up the gauge and tighten it back down? The height of the blade I’m much less sure of. I know how to adjust modern cutters. I’d doubting though that there will be height setting bolts on the top of the blade to adjust it. The handle has to slots in, but I’m thinking those are just to adjust the handle to a comfortable position for the operator? Is there typically a stop somewhere on the handle mechanism to keep the blade from going to deep into the stick?
This is going to be the first thing I tackle up there since it’s no good doing nice letterpress printing if they can’t cut paper to use or finish!
Lammy…. I used to own one of those old beasts. On the top of the blade holder there should be two screws that adjust the blade height. To adjust it, set the blade in the DOWN position, and loosen the bolts that hold the blade. ( I wouldn’t recommend loosening them with the blade in the UP position since that would probably result in the loss of a finger or two.) Then using the adjustment screws on the top of the blade holder, set it level and at the right height. When set right, the blade should cut ~1/32 into the stick, and no more.
About the sticks: If it has the old, wide stick slot you probably will not be able to find plastic sticks for it. I used poplar sticks milled to size and they worked fine.
yes the slot looked very wide to me. I’m waiting on a measurement to see what I can find. They have a carpentry shop on the premises so I told them to have ones made of a hard wood, cherry or maple.

Anybody have any luck fishing the Upper James? I'm planning a fishing trip this month on the Jackson but want to get started wetting my line on the James or the Cowpasture River.
I havent fished the James or Cowpasture in a while - but the Jackson is still one of my favorites to fly fish. I cant help you on the others though.
My favorite fly spot is gathright dam - tailwaters- #20/#22 midges. If you are floating, there are numerous trips between Moomaw and Covington. If you are wading, hit the tailwaters or Hidden Valley. If you have canoe or kayak, put in under the 220 bridge at Iron Gate and work your way upstream to intersection of Jackson and Cowpasture - Smallmouth City!

The final movie of Satyajit Ray, a giant in Indian, as well as, world cinema, Agantuk beautifully portrayed the distrust and paranoia that have become parts of urban social fabric and milieu. The movie, adapted from a short story from Ray himself, is about the unexpected arrival of a long-lost uncle (Utpal Dutt), who had left home at a young age in order to lead the life of a wanderlust, into the lives of an upper middle-class Bengali family (played by Dipankar Dey and Mamata Shankar). The repercussions of his return, after 35 years of complete absence, makes the family traverse the complete cycle of distrust, dilemma, redemption and contentment. The swansong of the master auteur also ironically tells us, that howsoever much might we know the genius (Ray, or for that matter, any artiste), the man behind the social veneer would always remain a stranger to us all. The movie was also a swansong for the veteran thespian and one of the most versatile actors ever to face a camera in India, Utpal Dutt, who played the eponymous role of the stranger. The evolving character dynamics between the three principal protagonists as also the couple’s young son and their inquisitive friends (both Rabi Ghosh and Dhritiman Chatterjee provided interesting cameos), have been exceptionally well covered – with subtlety as also with conviction, in this gently paced and wonderfully enacted movie. The movie – in equal portions an affecting drama and a light comedy – also provided a number of probing questions on what constitutes a civilization and what it means to be a part of the human race – covered through a number of powerful dialogues.
Duck Soup is often cited as the greatest work of the inimitable Marx Brothers. Brisk to the point of keeping one off-guard right through its crisp length, this was a madcap political satire on warmongering dictators – the kind of people who were especially in vogue when the movie was made. This unapologetically irreverent, outrageously funny, and incredibly witty movie is set in a fictitious country called Freedonia which is nearly broke. The country’s principal benefactress agrees to donate money to save the country, and in return the wisecracking Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) is made its President. Chicolini (Chico Marx) and Pinky (Harpo Marx) are two bumbling spies sent by the ambassador of the neighbouring country Sylvania, but end up becoming parts of Freedonia’s army when war breaks out between the two countries. The brilliant and acerbic one-liners delivered by Groucho in his unique style, as well as the movie’s various plot elements in general, lampooned everything on sight and beyond. And some of the gags it is filled with are worth their weights in gold – the extended mirror pantomime sequence could very well feature amongst the most astounding and ingenuous sequences ever concocted and captured on a motion picture camera. The three brothers, at times, seemed to be in a zone of their own. The degree of farce and slapstick did at times dilute its underlying theme, but it remains a landmark film for its no-holes-barred indictment on the absurdities of war, as also for its sheer entertainment quotient.
John Ford reveled in the making of Westerns, for what is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence if not an expression of his love affair with the genre? With its overarching themes of nostalgia and melancholia concerning the slow but sure demise of the iconic landscape, the movie remains a heartfelt and elegiac tone-poem to it. A popular US senator Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart), to the immense surprise of the local journalists, has made an unlikely stop at a dusty, godforsaken town with his wife Hallie (Vera Miles), in order to attend the funeral of one Tom Doniphon (John Wayne). Upon the press-men’s insistence, Stoddard recounts his unlikely stopover in this town, through sheer circumstances, many years back; his love-hate friendship with Doniphon, one of the last true symbols for everything that the West stood for – ruggedness, courage and honour; and the events leading to and following the creation of a legend, that of the shooting down of the notorious outlaw Liberty Valence. The tales of the two principal characters have been exceptionally juxtaposed to provide a sense to the direction America took at the turn of the 20th century – while Doniphon, for all his machismo, charisma and larger-than-life persona, slowly disappears into anonymity and obscurity, Stoddard, despite being so out of place, even anachronistic, as a law-abiding citizen in the frontier town, goes on to become an all-American poster boy. Though not without its share of over-dramatizations and some clichéd tropes, this elegantly-paced and well-acted film does stand on its own as a superb Western.
Martin Scorsese seemed to have been losing his touch through most of the 90’s and 2000’s (the documentary No Direction Home was perhaps the sole exception). With The Departed he made a spectacular return to the kind of high-voltage and pulsating gangster movies he last attempted with Goodfellas and Casino. Gritty, edgy, hyper-violent, unabashedly profane, terrific use of background score, the city playing a vital role in character-building – it sure seemed like a work by the Marty of the old. An American rendition of the popular Hong Kong undercover-cop thriller Infernal Affairs – the movie is set in the Irish-Catholic milieu of Boston. The labyrinthine plot goes as follows: Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), who’s freshly out of the police academy, is coaxed by his bosses (Martin Sheen and Mark Whalberg) into becoming a “rat” in the outfit of the psychotic and powerful mobster Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson); meanwhile Collin Sullivan (Matt Damon), who was handpicked at a young age by Costello, has managed to infiltrate the Boston police force; and thus starts an arresting game of cat-and-mouse. A tale of shifting and dubious loyalties and identities, this compelling and visceral character-study is reminiscent of the kind of gang violence and street justice Scorsese unforgettably portrayed in Mean Streets. Nearly everything worked for the movie – powerhouse performances by the superlative ensemble cast, kinetic and near-flawless script filled with darkly funny irony, exceptional editing (the movie managed to proceed at a frenetic pace without ever resorting to over-editing), great buildup of mood and tension – thus making this, the cover version, far superior than the original itself.
Adapted from The Ten Little Indians, the enormously popular novel by the legendary British mystery novelist Agatha Christie, Rene Clair’s And Then There Were None provided a classic template that has been used and rehashed numerous times over. The brilliant and ingenuous plot dealt with the bumping off of each of ten strangers who’ve assembled on an island one by one – possibly by someone who’s part of that motley group. Each of the ten people has some dark and violent past, thus making the carefully orchestrated murders acts of extra-judicial punishments for their sins. To make matters more interesting, the popular and grotesque nursery rhyme that formed the basis for the titles of both the book and movie is followed almost like a ritual by the mysterious judge, jury and executioner with cold and ruthless precision. Technically or as a piece of art the movie might not have been groundbreaking, but that’s not to say the movie was short of merits – rather far from it. Though the narrative never moves at the kind of breakneck speed today’s thrillers tend to, the elegant pacing worked very well by ensuring slow but quietly engaging buildup of suspense and mystery. Though some of the performances do border on the theatrics, on the whole the movie was well enacted, especially by the excellent character actor Barry Fitzgerald as an odd-looking former judge with a sinister smile perpetually attached to his face, among others. Interestingly, the director was loyal to the source material for most parts, but chose for some drastic deviations for the finale.
Though not a samurai film per se, the kind of movies Japanese maestro Akira Kurosawa is most renowned for, his High and Low essentially propounded similar themes of courage, heroism and high tragedy. Adapted from the novel King’s Ransom by Ed McBain, this police procedural was made in the tradition of a film noir, but with enough cultural detailing thrown in to make it a quintessentially Japanese movie. The plot concerns Gondo (powerfully performed by Toshiro Mifune), a wealthy corporate honcho whose chauffeur’s son gets kidnapped mistakenly (the kidnapper's intent was to abduct Gondo's son), and he ends up putting his professional and even personal life at stake by agreeing to a hefty ransom demand. The first half of the movie deals with the debilitating emotional dilemma faced by Goldo, while the second details the massive manhunt launched by the cops. The sharp black-and-white photography and the sparsely used soundtrack did a fine job at complementing the ambiguity of the characters and the psychological nature of the plot. Despite the potent socio-cultural commentary and detailed deconstruction of the crime investigation, the movie dragged a bit at times – resulting in flagging of interest in the middle sections. Further, the final denouement, by being too fatalistic, didn’t leave too lasting an impression. Interestingly, this was remade into a Hindi movie released in 1978 called Inkaar, which too was a reasonably good police procedural.

Lamar Odom isn't the only guy in Khloe Kardashian's life that needs some help from the reality TV star.
In a new interview with People, the 31-year-old reveals that she "can't win life" for her younger brother, Rob Kardashian, who has been struggling with depression and weight issues over the past two years.
"Rob is such a great guy," Khloe says. "He's charming, charismatic, everything. That's what's so infuriating. I'm like, 'Where is your will to live life? Let's be around people!'"
Rob, 28, currently lives with Khloe in her Calabasas, California, home and has been keeping a low profile from the public for nearly 18 months, staying far away from the Keeping Up With the Kardashians cameras that constantly follow his famous family.
"I've been working on my patience," Khloe continues. "I've been really trying. But I have my moments and I do snap. I've offered to get a chef, I'm like, 'What's your excuse?' But it's not just that. I can't win life for Rob. I have to wait until [he's] ready to do it for himself."
Though Khloe and Lamar have recently called off their divorce, she explains that life has been extra hard on Rob ever since she and Lamar originally split in December 2013.
"My dad died when Rob was 16. Rob doesn't have a father figure in his life," she explains. "When [our stepdad] Bruce [now Caitlyn Jenner] was around, he was great, but he was going through his own things that none of us understood at the time. Lamar was [Rob's father figure]. Once Lamar left -- and it's not Lamar's fault at all -- I think Rob didn't know where to go. He was like, 'I don't have guidance anymore.'"
"It's sad, because he's only wasting his life more and more," she adds. "But he has to figure it out for himself. And he has so many people who want to help him."
WATCH: Khloe Kardashian Chops Off Her Long Hair -- See the Pics!
Earlier today, Khloe took to Twitter to respond to critics over her People interview, specifically the points where she made comments about Lamar's recovery.
"Shame on you all for thinking the worst of me. It's been a tough few weeks. I don't need your f---- up energy!" she tweeted. "Know the facts before you throw stones."
The 35-year-old former NBA pro is continuing recovery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was transferred to the hospital last week from Las Vegas, where he was being treated after he was found unresponsive at a Nevada brothel on Oct. 13. Khloe has remained by his side nearly the entire time.
"There is a very long road ahead of [Lamar]," Khloe says. "He has to walk that road by himself, and, most importantly, he has to want to walk that road. I will be there supporting him every step of the way." To hear more, watch the video below.

Understanding Southern Yellow Pine | Wood. It's Real. | Wood. It's Real.
How Much Do You Know About SYP?
Take a walk around any lumber yard, and odds are good you’ll be treated to the distinctive aroma of Southern Yellow Pine. SYP – the nickname given to this wood by those in the know – is hugely popular in construction; it’s also making a comeback for decorative use in everything from floorboards to small woodworking projects.
But how much do you know about SYP? The truth is, you don’t have to have an encyclopedic knowledge of this wood to get the most out of it, but you’ll enjoy working with it more if you know a few facts about this workhorse material.
Southern Yellow Pine isn’t just one species of wood; it is actually a group of four types of pine. However, the wood is so similar that people have difficulties telling the species apart with a microscope. For your next round of pub trivia, you may be interested to know that the four tree types are loblolly pine, longleaf pine, shortleaf pine and slash pine.
Southern Yellow Pine is so named because – surprise! – it grows mainly in the American Southeast, most prolifically from Texas to Maryland. It can grow as far north as Massachusetts, but it thrives in the heavy red clay you find across the red hills of Georgia and the rest of the Southland.
There’s a reason that much of the lumber you find when you patrol the aisles of your favorite home store is Southern Yellow Pine: It’s super strong. SYP’s famous strength comes from its density. This makes it ideal for framing buildings (hence all those SYP studs at the lumber yard) and for building anything that needs to bear weight, like your deck or a child’s swing set. The density of the wood also allows it to hold tight to nails and screws, which are less likely to pop once you get them in place.
The one-two punch of strength and density means that SYP is a great choice for almost all of your building needs. Whether you choose plain boards for indoor projects or pressure-treated lumber for weather-resistant outdoor work, Southern Yellow Pine is a wood that adapts to just about any purpose.

Has your horse ever “popped a splint”? Bone splints can range from a cosmetic blemish to serious lameness that requires surgery to correct. The horse develops a painful bony swelling that arises from inflammation of one of the two small bones (splint bones) on either side of the cannon bone below the knee and hock.
Splints are common in young horses that are too active or over-lunged at an early age. The inflammation can be the result of blunt trauma from a kick or interference, and can also be caused by excessive strain from overwork or excessive activity, tight circles, or torque on the lower limb. Lots of excessive work on hard ground can cause a splint and it can be anything from a small lump growth to a fracture. Quite often vets describe a splint as a ‘shin splint humans get when running on tarmac’.
Mild splints involve damage to the ligament that holds the splint bone to the cannon bone. The result is mild or no lameness and a painful bony swelling. With more severe splints, especially when they arise from blunt trauma, the splint bone could be fractured, and lameness can range from mild to severe.
Splints can be prevented by using splint boots or polo wraps when working young horses, or for turnout if your horse is playful and active. It is also important to avoid overworking young horses (i.e., no riding until three years of age, and no high impact work until five years) and to limit tight circles and lunging.
To properly diagnose a splint, your veterinarian will lift up the horse’s lower leg and palpate the splint bones. If the bony swelling is associated with the splint bone, then a splint will be suspected. The veterinarian will check to see how much pain any pressure (palpation) on the swelling causes the horse, and if there is lameness present.
• If there is no pain on palpation and no lameness, then it is likely the splint has been there for some time and has already healed – it’s not an “active” splint. At this point, the splint is simply cosmetic and should not cause further problems. If you are certain the splint just came up and you think your horse is just being stoic about it, it doesn’t hurt to treat it like a mild splint. Otherwise, treatment is not indicated.
• Mild splints are commonly painful on palpation, but there will be no lameness. In this case, a basic treatment plan should be started and continued until there is no longer any pain on palpation.
• If there is lameness present, or the pain or swelling is more severe than your veterinarian usually sees with a mild splint, x-rays will be necessary to rule out a fractured splint bone. In most cases, splints are mild and x-rays are not necessary, but when in doubt, have the diagnostics done so you know what you’re dealing with and how to treat it.
The treatment of all active splints consists of cold therapy, wrapping, anti-inflammatories and rest. Cold therapy: Apply ice or cold hosing for at least 15 minutes twice a day.
1. Cold therapy can be applied for one hour three to four times a day or more, if needed in more severe cases. Continue treatment until there is no more inflammation. It is important to note, however, that it is unlikely the bony swelling will ever resolve completely. To tell if the inflammation has resolved, monitor the swelling for heat and pain. It should not be getting bigger, and may even shrink a bit.
2. Wrapping: The limb should initially be wrapped with a pressure wrap (during the first one to two weeks), then support wraps can be applied (12 hours on, 12 hours off) to help minimize complications of long term wrapping. In severe cases, constant wrapping may need to be continued long term, so be sure to consult your veterinarian for an individual time frame.
3. Anti-inflammatories: Most veterinarians will prescribe an NSAID such as Bute or Equioxx for bone splints. Depending on the severity, many cases respond well to herbal anti-inflammatories such as Equilite’s Ani-Motion, which contains devil’s claw, yucca, chamomile, white willow and rosehips, and NSAIDs can be avoided. In cases of moderate inflammation, the topical NSAID Surpass in addition to an oral herbal formula could help; there are fewer side effects with topical NSAIDs. When lameness is present or inflammation is severe, it is best to use oral NSAIDs (Bute, etc.), as the long term benefits to your horse outweigh the risks. Topical DMSO treatment can also be very helpful for anti-inflammatory treatment and seems to give the best cosmetic results by reducing the size of the bony swelling. Monitor for skin irritation, however, especially if the leg is wrapped, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Otherwise, DMSO can be used for the first month – beyond that, it is unlikely to reduce the size of the bony swelling.
4. Rest: This is the most important part of splint treatment. Mild cases can take three to six weeks to heal, and more severe cases can take three to six months or longer. Basically, the horse should be rested until the splint has completely healed, then slowly returned to work once there is no lameness or pain on palpation of the splint. He should be hand walked during the rest period after the first two to four weeks. As with all injuries requiring rest, your horse’s emotional health must be taken into consideration. A horse that is stressed out, pacing and circling in the stall, and whinnying for his friends is not a horse on rest. In some cases, it is better for the horse to be turned out where he may trot once or twice across the pasture, but be generally calm and quiet, rather than have him separated from his buddies. Ideally, the horse would be stalled or in a small paddock with a buddy next door on the same schedule so that he remains calm and quiet.
• A new treatment that has proven highly effective in acute injuries such as splints is SCENAR therapy. SCENAR is similar to acupuncture with E-stim (which would also be helpful for treating a splint), but it works through the biofeedback system to treat the problem with an electrical impulse.
The SCENAR device uses skin electro-stimulation and the signal is very close to a natural nerve impulse enabling the body to recognise and respond to it.
• A number of natural topical creams/salves can also be highly effective such as Traumeel (a homeopathic cream with Arnica) for many acute injuries to help decrease bruising and inflammation. Topical SOD cream (free radical scavenger) can also help decrease pain and inflammation. Dynamite Wound Balm is another wonder salve that seems to help treat most wounds and injuries. Additional herbal treatments containing comfrey and calendula, or in case of fracture, a Chinese medicine herbal liniment such as Zheng Gu Shui (Setting Bone Liquid) can help accelerate healing.
• Local magnet treatment may also be useful after the acute inflammatory phase to help bring circulation to the area. Such as EQU Streamz.
There are many things you can do to treat splints, so in most cases, have no fear – there will not be any lasting lameness or problem other than a cosmetic blemish. Splints are quite common, and if they are mild and no lameness is present, they often go unnoticed until your horse’s annual health check. If you find your horse has a splint, be sure to consult with your veterinarian to have the injury properly diagnosed. A treatment plan can then be tailored to your horse, depending on the diagnosis.

Fudo9 and Fudo13 are versions of a program by Hideki Kato, which has previously competed as 'ggmcbot'.
The event was remarkable for the number of unjustified resignations.
From now on, when I include diagrams in my reports, I will add headings and captions to them. The headings follow the usual convention, that the white player is named first.
In round 1, Fudo9 and break both arrived late for their game, but were able to play normally.
MoGoBot1 was doing rather badly in its game against Fudo9. For move 27, it made a pointless move on the one-line; Fudo9 passed (believing, reasonably, that it could win anyway); and MoGoBot1 resigned.
In round 2, break played the worst Go I have ever seen, against MoGoBot1. Its first, and only, move was on a one-one point. Thereafter it passed, until MoGoBot1 was convinced that further moves were unnecessary, and also passed. Now the players disagreed about the status of the solitary white stone, so play resumed. Break continued to pass, while MoGoBot1 strengthened its position (while making no attempt to capture the white stone). Then, for break's move 24, it consumed its remaining ten minutes, and timed out. This was to be MoGoBot1's only win in the event.
In its round 3 game with LeelaBot, MoGoBot1 passed for its move 7, getting a very poor position as a result. After move 16, it resigned, in a lost potition.
In round 4 MoGoBot1 resigned to botnoid after move 4. Admitttedly it was in a poor position already.
In round 5 MoGoBot1 arrived late for its game against Fudo9, played poorly, and resigned, in a lost position, after move 22.
LeelaBot obtained a strong position against break, and then passed whenever it was sure that a pass was good enough to win the game. It eventually won by half a point, after 160 moves.
The position after move 97.
In round 7 MoGoBot1 resigned against break after move 6.
The position after move 160. Black passed, and White resigned. The position after move 3. White resigned.
Round 8 provided the two most remarkable resignations of the event.
Fudo9 was White and botnoid was Black in the first position shown. Fudo9 had over seven minutes left, botnoid had 20 seconds. Botnoid, understandably, passed; and Fudo9 resigned.
In the second position shown, MoGoBot1 resigned for its second move, in a perfectly good position.
The position after move 80. Black passed, and White passed.
In round 1, Fudo13 did not at first appear for its game with Idiotbot, as its operator Hideki Kato was having a problem installing the Java virtual machine on its platform. When it eventually appeared, it had only eight minutes left of its initial allocation of 28 minutes. It appeared to be unaware of this, and started playing rather slowly. When its time dropped below 90 seconds it speeded up, and it speeded up again when it dropped below 50 seconds. But it had not left itself enough time for the pointless territory-filling that it likes to do, and eventually lost on time in a won position.
In the game shown to the left, both players passed in this unfinished position. By some criteria, this would be a win for Black, scottbot. However scottbot had a problem, and kept disconnecting (or crashing) and reconnecting. I assume that the players had disagreed about the result, but scottbot had not implemented the clean-up phase correctly. I had to decide how to assign a result to this game. I decided that, as the players were only failing to finish the game becasue of a failure by scottbot, and SimpleBot had done nothing wrong, I should assign the win to SimpleBot, just as I would have done if scottbot had crashed during the game.
White has played the marked stone.
In its round 2 game against GNU, SimpleBot performed the "two-stone edge squeeze" tesuji, as shown on the right. In this position the teusuji doesn't quite work, and SimpleBot probably only played it in the hope of saving a stone that was in atari; but it looked kind of impressive.
After round 2, I noted that all the seven entrants were present, so I removed IdiotBot from the draw to avoid byes, as previously agreed with its owner Aloril.
White has just played move 82.
In its round 4 game against WeakBot50k, scottbot as Black in the position shown to the left decided that it could afford to pass. WeakBot50k made a pointless move inside scottbot's territory. Scottbot then reconsidered the score, this time possibly allowing for komi, decided that its win was so not so clear, and resigned. In fact it was a secure 20 points ahead when it resigned.
This allowed WeakBot50k to finish the tournament in second place, with three wins from four games – a very good result for WeakBot50k, and a reminder that making legal moves within the time limit without resigning can be a powerful startegy.

Every successful physical therapy practice needs a healthy, sustainable model for patient acquisition. However, the unfortunate reality is that very few practices actually have one.
Most physical therapists rely on intermittent doctor referrals and participation in local events as a source of new patients. A pattern that is both inefficient and risky. Ask yourself this question, if those intermittent referrals stopped coming in tomorrow, would my practice survive?
It is a scary proposition.
But that’s where today’s guest, Jeffery Hirz, comes in.
Jeffery owns a digital marketing agency called Hemmingway Marketing. His company partners with chiropractors and other medical practice owners like physical therapists to bring new patients in the door with predictability.
Jeffery’s mission is to help doctors and therapists eliminate the pain-point of patient acquisition, so they can better focus on eliminating the pain-points of patients.
Through strategic Google and Facebook ad campaigns that place an emphasis on advertising the condition (pain) as opposed to the therapy practice (solution), Jeff can bring his clients anywhere from20-30 new patients every month.
Taken over a year, that’s anywhere from 240 to 360 additional patients and revenue streams.
Think about that for a moment. What would an extra 240 to 360 patients do for your billing hours? How much would that help your bottom line?
Tune in to hear Jeff and I speak in greater detail about how his company is changing the game for several therapy practices, and learn why he believes every therapy practice—yes, even the successful ones—could benefit from the services of Hemmingway Marketing.
32:00 – Please leave us a review on iTunes!
Market the condition, NOT the service itself—people don’t care about the service, they care more about the pain.
Marketing is an upfront investment; hire an expert that will give you results.
Hiring out for your marketing frees you up to focus on what really matters—patient care.

Any food plans for the Bean?
Brownies! (not the dessert, the place) I depend on the vendors after Thursday, will bring a few food items for myself, but have really appreciated the group meals. If anyone wants to host a meal Tuesday or Wednesday, I bet many of us could pitch in with a side dish, desert etc. I know Neil appreciated all of the support for his Friday morning breakfast all of those years, but has no plans to re-vive it this year.
Kenny wants me to post that he is bringing vegetable soup for Thursday night dinner at the FarSide.
Sorry about fri morn breakfast everyone. Im just back home for 1 day before leaving for the bean. We have been in Illinois caring for my Dad.
Billy and I are going to to pulled pork sliders like usual.
Made some BBQ slaw as well. Sides and deserts welcomed!
Not what days as the Bean is so fluid so keep your noses / ears peeled.
Kenny are you still bringing bisquits for the sausage gravy.?

Joining our Academy back in 2003, Tanner first played his football for our U8s side. Eight years later, the striker put pen to paper signing his long term future to the club alongside another Academy star Aaron Tshibola.
He’s played an important part in our U21s roster, scoring on numerous occasions season after season.
Throughout the 2012/13 campaign, he was part of the squad that lifted the U21s Premier League Cup in its inaugural year – the Royals beating Manchester City 4-3 on aggregate with Tanner himself chipping in with a first leg goal.
Martin Kuhl’s U21s side lifted yet more silverware last season, and Tanner played his part as they achieved promotion to Premier League Division One as runners-up to Middlesbrough.
Contracted to the club until the summer of 2017, he made his debut for the senior team in our opening Capital One Cup fixture last season against Newport County. The striker scored our third of the night after being introduced as an 89th minute substitute, replacing another goalscorer in Nick Blackman.
Tanner played in 1(+4) games up until January where he looked to further develop his natural ability with a loan spell at League Two’s AFC Wimbledon.

A Speyside whisky which holds all the flavours of the Glenfarclas in one glass. The smoothness makes the 105 drinkable at cask strength, but add a little water to explore its great depth.
Glenfarclas Distillery based in the Speyside region of Scotland has been family owned for 6 generations.
Taste: Dry and assertive. Develops quickly to reveal a rich spiciness, combined with a hint of oak and sherried fruit.
Finish: Amazingly smooth for the strength, wonderful warming with a lingering spiciness, yet very rounded.

Segolene Royal favourite to become the next president of France.
Royal called for unity in the Socialist Party, saying: "I have need of everyone, of everybody's talents, of all the Socialists and this victory is the victory of all the Socialists."
Jacques Chirac, France’s current president, has not ruled out seeking a third term.
However, a serious bid is unlikely given his lack of popular support and his age - he turns 74 on Wednesday.
Nicolas Sarkozy, who leads Chirac's conservative Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), is the only politician on the right who can mount a serious challenge for the presidency.
However, a long-running feud with Chirac has hampered his chances of success.
On the right, Dominique de Villepin, the French prime minister, and Michele Alliot-Marie, the defence minister, are potential rival candidates to Sarkozy, despite possessing less popular support.
Sarkozy has said he will declare his presidential ambitions within the coming days.
Philippe Douste-Blazy, foreign minister, warned against divisions in the ruling party, saying that "... anybody who tries to go against the candidate chosen by the UMP after a debate will be creating a major risk of defeat for our side".
A survey carried out by the BVA institute, published on Thursday, found that 42 per cent of French voters thought Royal would make a better president than Sarkozy, who had 36 per cent support.

I'm trying to access data on a TheThingsNetwork server via HttpWebRequest. All works fine in a simple C# command line application.
GearVR Manifest Issues? “OperationFailedException: No activity in the manifest with action MAIN…” I'm using 2017.1.0f3 and Oculus Utilities version 1.15 to attempt to 'Build & Run' a simple 360 video player prototype to a Note 4, which used to work fine with past apps built to GearVR - so I'm pretty sure it's not an issue with any USB drivers, developer mode etc. The app runs fine when I launch it manually via dragging a built .apk on the device and opening, so I believe it is not an osig issue either.

Render different texture for each eye with single-pass pipeline? I just need to render an unlit transparent quad, but with a different texture for each eye.
I suspect this is possible with a custom shader. Does anybody have such a beast lying around? Or even know whether it is possible?
[solved]Vuforia Web Services API I am currently trying to work with and understand the VWS API, and I am struggling with figuring out how to properly utilize this API with the given documentation. Are there more resources available beyond the literature on Vuforia's website?
Can I create a website that uses this API to upload images into the cloud DB?
If so, I would truly appreciate any resources or assistance in figuring out how to accomplish this.
If not, what are the suggested ways to utilize the API?
Rendering different content to each eye with SteamVR plugin I'm having a hard time figuring out how to render different things to each eye with the SteamVR plugin for Unity. When I google around for this, I just find posts that are outdated (back when the plugin still had separate camera objects for each eye, so you could just put different culling masks on them). But these days, there's only one camera which gets moved between eyes for two rendering passes. Either culling masks or an event before each eye would do the trick for me.

I've been working on a VR app for Cardboards using GoogleVR for Unity. I'm having probles with the screen resolution while testing on Huawei P20. After the app starts it changes the screen resolution to half.
I need to be able to run my VR app on a full res. Who is responsible for switching the resolution? Is it Unity / GoogleVR library / Android itself? Where can I disable a screen resolution switch?
[Urgent] Dynamically “update” Image Target from one dataset There is a way to update image targets by deactivating one dataset and activating other dataset.
However, I just want to use one dataset that includes multiple image data.
If it's possible, how can I elegantly update multiple Image Targets from one dataset?
Your help would be very appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Backstops prevent a run-back of the belt and load when the power supply is off. Since such a stop is installed directly at the rotor shaft and operates mechanically, no electrical connection is required: The bearing runs only in one direction. This principle achieves a higher holding torque than does an electromagnetic brake.
Note: Backstops are available only for asynchronous drum motors.
Rotational direction looking from the connector side: Available for clockwise (standard) or counterclockwise direction.

GLENN: I want to talk to you about your state elections for a second. I've got calls. I get hammered every single day from all sides. This has not been a friend nor has it ever been a show that has friends. We don't have any friends. I mean, I still have some friends, but we don't and that is because we don't pull any punches, we don't we're not out to make friends. We're here to tell the truth. And sometimes people are good, sometimes people are bad. I don't ever endorse anybody, nor do I want to. I'll tell you what I think about individuals but I don't endorse them. I don't lend my credibility to anybody. I struggle to keep my credibility with myself. For instance, Jim DeMint, I like the guy. I think he's the real deal. Could Jim DeMint would I like to recommend that we never let Jim DeMint go to Argentina? Yeah, yeah. Do I think he's going to be, you know, do you think he's got some babe on the side in Argentina? No. But I didn't think Sanford did, either! I mean, you don't know the heart of an individual. The way you can judge them is really through their record.
Now, we've got a lot of people coming up out of the out of nowhere that have no record at all. So now what do you do? How do you judge these people? For instance, in Texas Rick Perry who's always been kind to me, always been nice, I think I've been the same to him, I think I've been fair, he's been fair with me. The things that I have witnessed firsthand on Rick Perry I like. For instance, we were standing backstage and at one point we were talking about the guy, you know, the guy who's getting the death penalty. What was the guy's name that killed all those people in Houston, the illegal immigrant, Pat?
PAT: There's several. Are you talking about Angel what's his face?
GLENN: Yeah, got the death penalty, Bush tried to push it off. And Rick Perry said to me, "I'll throw the switch myself. He is going to die." And I loved him for that.
GLENN: He's bad on the border. You know, I think he talks out of both sides of his mouth on that. However, he's great right now talking about the Tenth Amendment. States rights. I want to believe that he's right on that, that he would do it. But you are in a campaign, so you don't know. Now we have somebody who had 4% of the vote, has no money for ad campaigns and now she's up to in three, four weeks she's up to 24%? I know Kay Bailey Hutchison, forget about it. That's just, I'm sure she's a very nice lady. I've had her on the show before. I just, I'm not impressed with her at all. And again I don't mean anything about her personally, I just don't think she's the answer for Texas. So I guess for me it would be between Debra and Rick. Wanted to get Debra on the phone because I don't know anything about her.
Welcome to the program, Debra Medina. How are you?
MEDINA: Great. Good to be with you, Glenn.
GLENN: Tell me a little bit about yourself because, you know, the tea party people, they are coming out of the woodwork. People are just popping up, and I think that's good but it's also a little dangerous because we don't know anything about you. Tell me who you are.
MEDINA: Registered Nurse, long time Republican Party grassroots activist from South Texas, entered the gubernatorial race a year ago today, which was before the first tea parties because I saw neither Kay Hutchison or Rick Perry bringing conservative constitutional government to our state. Had been watching both of them in office for a long time and I've got to take issue with you saying the governor's strong on states rights. He has said we're not going to nullify, we're not going to interpose. He hasn't done anything to stop the federal government as it steps time and time again outside the Constitution. He's been in office for nine years. And even in the first debate when he was specifically asked whether or not he would stand to stop healthcare, he declined to do that. We're looking to see what's going to happen. All of America knows there's no constitutional basis for nationalizing healthcare. He's singing a song for the campaign and I think most of Texas sees that. I've been very gratified to have people from all over the state standing shoulder to shoulder with me. That's how we take back our country and that's what's happening here in Texas.
GLENN: Okay. The question was tell me about you. Who are you?
MEDINA: Registered Nurse, grassroots activist, 20 years in Republican Party, grassroots politics from south Texas, businesswoman, wife, mother, rancher, farmer, grew up on a farm, learned the value of hard work early, married, two kids.
GLENN: What did you you say small business person. What did you do in small business?
CALLER: I'm a Registered Nurse. I worked in and around corporate healthcare since 1984, private for profit healthcare. I opened a small business in Wharton which is a town of about 12,000 people just southwest of Houston, Texas. I do medical billing and consulting for a living. My clients are physicians and ambulance services, insurance companies and attorneys looking at the pricing, revenue, payment of healthcare as well as quality issues. So still actively practicing Registered Nurse in the State of Texas.
GLENN: I have when I said that I was going to have you on, you can't imagine the mail pro and con that I received. There was a theme that ran against you and that is you are a 9/11 Truther.
MEDINA: Well, there's lots of mud that people would like to throw at Debra Medina and make stick. The truth is I'm an everyday ordinary person. I am fighting for the things that our founders fought for, those very basic principles of a constitutional republic, and I'm going to champion people that hold their government accountable, hold me accountable but that's the first time I've heard that accusation. So that's an interesting one.
GLENN: Right. Here's then let me be more frank and ask you the question: Do you believe the government was any way involved with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?
MEDINA: I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn. So I don't I'm not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that. I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there. So I've not taken a position on that.
GLENN: I think the people of America might think that might be a yes.
MEDINA: I'm not going to take a position.
MEDINA: These questions have been raised and they are not answered.
GLENN: Do you have advisors that advise you or people that are around you that are 9/11 Truthers?
MEDINA: Not to my knowledge.
GLENN: Would you, if you found out that there were, would you disavow them like the president should have but I mean, he escorted them out in the middle of the night. Van Jones was a 9/11 Truther. If you found out that people around you are advising you were 9/11 Truthers, would you disavow them or allow them to continue to advise you?
MEDINA: Well, you know, that's a federal issue. We're very focused on issues in Texas, on Texas state government. I'm certainly not into mind control or thought policing people.
GLENN: No, that's a pretty big one.
MEDINA: We've got a very diverse team in this state and that's because Texans are standing shoulder to shoulder to support and defend the Constitution. I frankly don't have time, you know, to go through and do psychological testing on people and know every thought or detail that they have.
GLENN: No, I don't think it's psychological at all.
MEDINA: I don't see us having a team of radical individuals, if you will. I think that there are certainly some that are looking, trying to use scare tactics. I you know, are there people?
GLENN: No, I don't think they're scare tactics. Debra, you've answered the question.
GLENN: Yeah, I understand. Debra, you've answered the question.
MEDINA: You know, I don't know. That's so out of context, it's difficult for me to answer.
MEDINA: I think it would depend on, you know, how vocal they were about that and how much I thought it colored whatever other talent they brought to the table.
GLENN: Yeah. Okay, Debra, thank you very much. I appreciate it and best of luck to you.
GLENN: I think I can write her off the list. Let me take another look at Kay Bailey Hutchison if I have to. Rick, I think you and I could French kiss right now.
PAT: Let me tell you something. He's a damn handsome man.
GLENN: He's a damn handsome man.
PAT: Looks good in a pair of jeans.
PAT: He's a handsome man.
GLENN: Wow. The fastest way back to 4%.
PAT: I mean, and we're going to I'm going to hear from people in Texas. How can you take her we just asked the question!
PAT: Because we got all the rumors, I expected her to say oh, absolutely not.
PAT: That is not what she said.
PAT: Absolutely not, I am not a 9/11 Truther.
GLENN: I mean, but at least give her credit.
STU: Give her credit, she told the truth.
GLENN: Give her credit for telling the truth.

This month, we’re interviewing women from all over the world and asking them about their experiences traveling to Indonesia. We had the privilege of speaking with Carole Terwiliger Meyers about her experience traveling to Bali and Flores. Here’s a glimpse into our conversation.
I am a professional travel writer, and I live in Berkeley, California. My career began with a colicky baby. When I realized he was happiest in a bouncy car, away we all went! My son and daughter now live respectively in Los Angeles and NYC, and so I do a lot of traveling just to visit family. Each of my children now have three children of their own, and when my daughter recently had twin girls I found myself going back and forth to New York more frequently than ever. When I am not traveling, I am luxuriating in being home. Over this last year I have been on the road more than ever before.
I decided to go to Indonesia because I was invited on a press trip, it had always been on my bucket list, and I knew most of the other people going. It was an opportunity I couldn’t say no to.
The trip was for a week–part of the time on Bali and part of the time on Flores Island, the jumping off point for seeing the infamous Komodo Dragons–and our itinerary was packed. Press trips are different from independent travel in that you have a regimented schedule and very little free time. But on the other hand, you are traveling with people who know the area and can provide interesting background. Plus they take care of all the logistics. The down side on this trip is that on Bali we spent too much time in a van and too little time at the beach. The up side was that we spent very little time in a van on Flores Island and had plenty of time on the beach.
I was so pleased with experiencing real Indonesian food, but was surprised to find that some of my fellow travel writers weren’t as enthused. The night we went for a rijsttafel banquet, three or four of them actually bowed out and went out on their own for Italian. I was so excited to see the Komodo dragons on their own turf, and that experience lived up to my expectations. The island is remote and a protected national park, so even though we only saw four dragons we did hear lots of interesting stories about them and we did get a nice souvenir picture with one taken by a ranger! I also adored a picnic at a pink-sand beach after, where we had a yummy Indonesian picnic and then sat in the warm, crystal-clear water and laughed and enjoyed.
The biggest disappointment was not getting to spend any time on the beaches on Bali. I do wonder what the trip organizer was thinking by depriving us of that!
I do wish I’d known in advance that I didn’t need to take malaria pills. Bali itself does not have malaria problems, but because our trip was relatively last minute that information was hard to confirm before we got there. Fortunately, I didn’t take the pills anyway because I was not able to get them in time from my doctor, but I did fret. Flores Island has mosquitoes, but I never needed to use any repellent.
Also, we had been traveling to Indonesia at a time when they were having air problems because a volcano was erupting, and some flights had been cancelled on and off for a while. When I got to the airport, they told me that I had a 50-50 chance of being turned away from my connecting flight from Taipei to Bali. Though I would have liked to know in advance that the trip was going to actually happen, I decided I would go with the flow of it, and if my connecting flight was cancelled I would go into Taipei and explore for a few days. As fate would have it, my next trip would be to Taiwan and Taipei.
My favorite hotel was the Swiss-Belresort Watu Jimbar in Sanur. It was a block from the beach, which I finally had a chance to walk along. I loved the landscaped pool, with tepid water, and I loved that lounge chairs were actually in the water in a shallow area. This hotel felt like Bali should feel.
I also really enjoyed the Indus restaurant up in the hills of Ubud. It is inside a vintage building, very open-air and comfortable, and the Asian fusion cuisine was delicious.
It is good to know that the majority of Indonesia is Muslim, so dress is generally conservative. Bali is a little less so, but to be respectful men and women both should cover their shoulders, and shorts and miniskirts are not appropriate. I was surprised by the inappropriate clothing of some of my fellow travelers and of tourists in general. I also recommend that you plan to buy a lovely batik sarong as a souvenir (they are very inexpensive) and wear it to cover up when you go to temples.

This pregnancy center used to operate out of the basement at Oasis of Hope Church on 7 Mile by Woodward. The new Director knew she needed to move it out of the church to reach the women they hoped to show the love of God to as they support them to choose life. They are located right by Summit abortuary on McNichols and Forrer. Please pray for their protection – this area as many of you know is spiritually dark, we know the enemy does not want them there saving lives. Pray for the strength of the Director and staff to endure attacks. They will not be providing ultrasounds yet and will refer to us or other pregnancy centers as needed until they can get a medical director and medical staff.
The wonderful volunteers with Guadelupe Workers have been shining the light into that corner for years and for that we are all so grateful!! So many lives have been saved. Now they have someone close by to send the moms to and Detroit Pregnancy test and Help Center will be a great new partner in the fight to support moms to choose life.
We are always in need for Volunteers to help out with the Guadalupe Workers monthly meeting for families!
The address is 4300 Central St, Detroit, MI 48210.
The moms are in one room with their activity while the children are in 3 rooms by age; infants, little kids, and the big kids.
We can never have too many volunteers! The best volunteers will take initiative to engage the children one-on-one toward building relationships. Volunteers have something to give, something to gain. We miss out when we stand on the sidelines. So if and when we find ourselves standing in a crowded room of kids, wondering what in the world to do….. let’s introduce ourselves by name and start getting to know someone of these wonderful children. Spend time. We are family! Give voice to other’s gifts, encourage them in their strengths. That’s our main job. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VOLUNTEERING. You make a difference!

“Here they come,” a woman calls out to the crowd gathered along Norvell-Bryant Highway to see a re-enactment of Florida history at the 2014 Southern Heritage Festival. A quarter mile west, cattle emerge from the Withlacoochee Trail flanked by cattlemen and women on horses and travel towards the festival grounds. Traffic stops as the cattle cross N. Florida Avenue. The ranch hands maneuver the herd past the crowd and into a penned area at the festival. It is a glimpse of Florida’s past when cattle, that roamed freely in meadows and open woodlands, were rounded up and driven to the Tampa markets.
The event raised funds for the restoration of the historic Hernando Elementary School, constructed in 1940 and occupied by students until 1994. The grounds featured food vendors, craft booths and a petting zoo as well as the 4-H Club.
Cattle were introduced to North America in Florida by Ponce de Leon in 1521. The cattle industry in Florida has been in existence for nearly 500 years and remains a significant agriculture industry in the Florida landscape today.

President Barack Obama would surely not compare himself to a Biblical prophet. But by going this week to Riyadh to take part in a summit meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council, he might as well be like Daniel in the Old Testament, thrown into the lions’ den. Although his hosts will no doubt be civil and courteous, they nevertheless cast themselves in the role of lions—with the exception of the Sultan of Oman, America’s only true friend in the region.

I’ve came across a bunch of stuff like this when I was decluttering! I am much more mindful of the danger of replacements now. It’s best to pass things on straight away, as they are most useful to others now than after sitting in your drawers going musty for 5 years. Recently I helped my mum start a big declutter of her kitchen. She no longer had a need for a cast iron casserole dish she got as a wedding present 40 years ago. I have always loved it and it is the perfect size for my family. So I took it, but only after thinking of what existing piece of ovenware it was going to be a substitute for – one in, one out!

Born at an entertainment compound in Los Angeles in 1986, Boma was Oopsie's first offspring. She was taken from her mother at a very early age so that she could be trained to work in television commercials and movies—just as Oopsie had been.
When she grew too large to be handled in entertainment, Boma was kept at the California compound to breed with other chimpanzees. Her first baby was stillborn. Her next infant was Knuckles, who was born in 1999 with a condition diagnosed as cerebral palsy.
Boma's owner retired in 2005 from the business of working and breeding great apes for the entertainment industry. At that point, Boma, along with 15 other chimpanzees at the California facility—including her mother and her sister—was sent to the Center for Great Apes’ sanctuary.
Boma is part of a social group of seven chimpanzees consisting of her mother, Oopsie; her younger sister, Jessie; her niece and nephew, Kodua and Stryker; and the adult males Bubbles and Ripley. She grooms, plays with, and otherwise interacts with her companions, even to the point of nagging the males as a way of stirring things up and, shall we say, keeping them on their toes! There's never a dull moment with Boma, it seems.
Boma has a hearty appetite for her regular diet of fresh produce, especially grapes, bananas, and frozen juice treats.

As your Trustee, I have successfully led the fight to obtain millions of dollars in funding for school improvements in York South-Weston. Last year, we obtained funding to rebuild Dennis Avenue C.S and to build an addition at George Syme C.S. Our community has some of the oldest schools in the city of Toronto and are in serious need of repair or need to be rebuilt entirely. I look forward to continue working together with all of our local communities to fight for funding to modernize our schools and build healthy learning environments for our children.
I know the challenges faced by parents in finding quality affordable child care in their local communities. Whether you require before and after care, or daycare for pre-school age children, accessible child care is critical in supporting working families. I believe that schools play an important role in this objective. During this past term, we have announced child care expansions at Weston Memorial Jr. P.S, Pelmo Park P.S, Bala Avenue P.S, Dennis Avenue P.S, and George Syme C.S. If re-elected I will continue to advocate for local child care solutions centered in our local schools as I believe our schools provide the safest and best option in supporting parents and their child care needs.
Many school communities have expressed their support for K to 8 education and the phasing out of middle schools. The benefits of keeping children in one school during their most formative years is well known. Working together, we have transitioned many local schools to the K to 8 delivery model. Recently, the TDSB approved George Syme C.S, Roselands Jr. P.S, Lambton Park C.S, and Dennis Avenue C.S to transition to K to 8 schools. If re-elected, I will continue working with other local school communities in pursuit of further expansion of K to 8 education.
Elections campaigns are expensive. Candidates rely on the generosity of donors to get there message out to the public. All contributions are appreciated.
Please note, only individuals can contribute to municipal campaigns. Contributions from corporations and trade union groups are prohibited.

A pleasant ten-minute walk across the field leads to our flagship Silverdale park, where Hollins Farm guests are welcome to use the splendid leisure facilities, bar and restaurant. A 20-minute walk takes you to the nearest pub, and a further ten minutes to the hostelries, shops and restaurants of Silverdale village. Silverdale is also home to the RSPB’s Leighton Moss, where some of the UK’s rarest birds, including the elusive Bittern and the Marsh Harrier.
Bring your tourer or tent to Hollins Farm and relax for a weekend or longer off the beaten track. Meet our friendly farm animals, visit the goats and ponies, and, if you're lucky, enjoy freshly laid eggs for breakfast courtesy of our pampered hens.
Our touring pitches are hardstanding with well drained gravel, connection to electricity (16 amps), individual water tap, grey waste and TV connection to BBC1 & 2, ITV, Ch 4, and Freeview (please note that a coaxial lead is required to access the TV connection. These can be purchased from our shop if needed.
NB. Access to the park is limited and unsuitable for particularly long motorhomes, please call before booking.
Hollins Farm is often described as a ‘proper’ campsite, with just a friendly site warden, decent loos and washing facilities, like-minded campers plus acres of trees and green fields. Well that's the way we want to keep it, but anyone who knows Holgates knows we don't do 'decent' loos! Our modern facilities block features under-floor heating, is fully tiled and accessible with family changing and a new launderette facility.
Of course none of this takes away from the fantastic back-to-nature feel of the farm, nor indeed the sea views or characteristic farm animals all around. If you visit during spring time you may get the opportunity to pet our baby lambs and pygmy goats.

Why don't I see "Boot from CD" drive after I press F8?
Is it possible that the system doesn't see the cd/dvd drive because the hard drives are hooked up via raid cables, and the cd/dvd is hooked up with the old cable select style cable?
To boot from CD you have to enter the BIOS.
Pressing the F8 key simply gives you options for troubleshooting Windows problems that aren't available if you boot directly into your complete Windows installation.
That will take you into a page that offers options within the system boot sequence, however this all depends on how modern your system and motherboard/BIOS are.
Otherwise, as Ron K suggested, enter the BIOS and make the optical drive the first entry in the system boot sequence.
Once the DC/DVD drive has priority in the boot sequence, you will find that if you boot WITH a disc already in the optical drive, a legend will appear in the top left-hand corner saying "Press any key to boot from CD...".
This message will time out after 5 seconds if the keyboard remains untouched. The message will NOT appear if the optical drive is empty.

The status of Viking women may be underestimated due to the way we interpret burial findings.
“To assume that Viking men were ranked above women is to impose modern values on the past, which would be misleading,” cautions Marianne Moen. She has been studying how women’s status and power is expressed through Viking burial findings. Her master’s thesis The Gendered Landscape argues that viking gender roles may have been more complex than we assume.
Exploring new perspectives of Viking society is a theme which also will be the focus of the forthcoming Viking Worlds conference in March 2013, where Moen is a member of the organising committee.
Our assumptions of gender roles in viking society could skew the way we interpret burial findings, Moen points out. She uses the 1904 excavation of the Oseberg long boat to illustrate the point. Rather than the skeleton of a powerful king or chieftain, the ship surprisingly contained two female skeletons.
“The first theories suggested that this must be the grave of queen Åsa mentioned in Snorri’s Ynglinga saga, and that the other skeleton was her slave servant,” says Moen. Åsa Haraldsdottir was the mother of Viking king Halfdan the Black.
However, later carbon dating revealed that the buried ship was from around 834 AD - a date which made this theory unfeasible. But the idea of a queen mother and her servant became persistent amongst archaeologists.
”Since the Oseberg mound contained two women, the burial site has been analysed as a unique find, without reference to similar sites. The finding is very similar to the Gokstadskipet long boat, which is regarded as the grave of a powerful and influential king. So why isn’t Osebergskipet regarded in the same way?” asks Moen.
And although we accept that some Viking women may have had a role as religious figures (as a ‘volve’) performing rites, we do not accord them the corresponding power they would have had in a society where religious and political power was intertwined, Moen argues.
Moen feels many archaeologists have put too much emphasis on historical texts, such as Snorri Sturluson’s sagas.
The fact that far more graves of men than women have been found from this era has also been seen as an indication that men were more powerful. But it might not be that straightforward to identify a grave as male or female, Moen suggests.
Usually archaeologists have to rely on artefacts to gender identify a grave, due to a lack of human remains. But the presence of male objects (such as swords, shields or spears) or female objects (jewellery, fabric and weaving artefacts) does not conclusively prove the gender.
Added to this, the larger metal objects usually found in male graves are more likely to be discovered after hundreds of years - while smaller female objects such as brooches (and hence, female graves) can remain undetected.
“If it is the case that women belonged to the private sphere of the home and men were in the public sphere of society, this should be reflected in the burial landscape,” Moen points out. But in the Kaupang area she has studied, female graves are side by side with male graves – and just as prominent.
“Since the Viking era became an important part of building Norwegian national identity in the 19th century, early archaeology was influenced by Victorian ideals. The contemporary ideals of women belonging to the home and men being out in the public was imposed on Viking society,” says Moen.

A number of the cheaper ironworkers are constructed to employ a fulcrum where the ram shakes back and forth, building the punch go into the succumb at a small angle. This normally leads to the erosion of the punch and succumb on the front rims. The higher quality machines integrate a ram which moves in a direct vertical line and utilizes modifiable gibs and guidebooks to assure a constant traveling path.

When a microprocessor-based system is controlled by Operating System software that has task prioritization capabilities, a lower level task is executed when higher level tasks are idle. For energy conservation purposes, the lowest level task should put the processor into some idle, low-power mode. When the lowest level task is reached (all other tasks are idle) a large portion of the operating time of the system, this indicates that the clock rate of the microprocessor can be slowed down to con- serve energy without sacrificing system performance. When the system is operating at its low speed and the lowest level task is only reached a very small portion of the time (or possibly never), this indicates that the pro- cessor may not be performing the low-level tasks often enough to insure proper system performance, so the clock should be sped up. There may also be identifiable "critical" operations which require the processor to oper- ate at the highest possible speed to ensure performance compliance; clock control should be disabled for the duration of the "critical" operation.
In order to establish whether the processor is spend- ing too much or too little time in the lowest level (WAIT) task, two counters should be established. One counter is active when the processor is in the WAIT task, and one is active when the processor is not in the WAIT task. Many modern microcontrollers provide a free-running counter and output compare registers, Also, real-time clock devices exist that readily interface to microprocessor systems.

KOKAKO GARDEN: Welcome to term 2 in the Kokako garden!
And welcome to our new blog!!
My name is Amandine, I am a parent at Oropi school and I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the Kokako garden project at Oropi school, which started in September 2015. I have been loving getting to know the children as we explore and learn essential skills in our fabulous outdoor classroom!
In this blog we will be sharing what we are up to in the Kokako garden as the weeks and seasons pass by, and we hope to interact with you via this medium too.
The Kokako garden is also Oropi community garden, and we really encourage families to come in, share their skills, their passions or simply their free time, and get involved in any way that works for them. In exchange for a small contribution (volunteering or donation) the beautiful garden produce is there for you to harvest and enjoy.

We have a shed at our refuse station in town that has a place for you to bring things that could be recycled. There are always books, dishes and other things there. When I spied this wreath online I knew I could come up with a bit easier way to make it and I knew where I could get my book! With that in mind, I picked up Charlotte Brontë book, Jane Eyre, in paperback. It is a romantic book as Jane gives her heart to her dear Rochester……won’t those pages of a love story make a lovely wreath? Although not as popular as Pride and Prejudice (it has a much more complex story) it stills pulls at your romantic heart strings. I also made another easy Valentine’s Clothespin Wreath to decorate for Valentine’s.
Are you a classic romantic reader?
I remember being in my first book club many, many years ago and we decided to read Pride and Prejudice. I struggled with it and kept thinking when is this going to grab me. Just about halfway, I couldn’t put it down. Then to finish off we watched the movie from 1940 with Lawrence Olivier. When the 1995 BBC Production was on TV, I taped them all and dreamed of being Elizabeth to Mr. Darcy’s Colin Firth. I have to say I also enjoyed loved the 2005 Edition with Kierra Knightly, which doesn’t take quite as much time to watch as the 1995 version. Ahhh, to live in the regency period. Nah, I like showers and washing machines and all the things that go with living in the 21st century. I guess I could just crawl through a closet and be part of it for a bit like in the 2008, Lost in Austenland.
Let’s get back to the wreath…..
I have to say, I’ve never ripped apart a book before (I hope there’s not a gasp from any of you!) but there is no other way to make this. Well, I guess I could take newspaper and cut it into squares……..well someone was getting rid of it, so I just found a new use. It took me just over 300 pages and just a few little burns from the glue gun. This certainly can be made with a low melt glue gun.
Remove pencil, twist slightly at the point of paper and fold the tip over.
When you’re done with the paper, take the yard of lace or ribbon, fold in half and glue onto the back of the wreath in the center. Tie into a bow with room to hang.
Hang on wall or, as I did, my front door!
If you liked this post, please pin and share. Happy Valentine’s!

Gillian Sloan & Gwyn Moses have been stalwarts of DIYframing since the framing bug took hold in January 2008. It started with Gwyn booking a weekend’s training as a birthday present, in Beaconsfield, with Alex. Not only did Gill enjoy this new venture, she also turned out to be pretty good at it. Since then she has completed the 3 additional, practical modules of the Business Week: 3D(box) Framing; Conservation Framing; Framing Fabrics. The interest in taking her framing skills even further was intensified after taking part in the first set of Master Classes that DIYframing ran with David Wilkie.
Picture framing started out as a natural progression to Gill’s and Gwyn’s shared hobby (well, passion), which is photography: in particular wildlife and landscape photography. In fact they never travel without their cameras and lenses. Even when visiting DIYframing in Beaconsfield, they always have a weather eye out for the red kites, parakeets and deer that constantly make an appearance. As usually follows in these articles, what started out as a means to presenting and exhibiting their own work, quickly “morphed” when friends and family brought projects for Gill frame.
Now that Gill & Gwyn have moved to Invernesshire, the hobby has become Gillian Sloan Framing. Gill had been a self employed IT trainer, travelling all around the UK. Nowadays the daily commute to her framing workshop, an outbuilding in the garden, is infinitely preferable. The core of her new set up is the picture framing business, although the photography is never far away: another strand of the business is pet photography. Having your work close at hand and under your own control means that you can set your own work hours and determine how busy you are.
Following on from the training with DIYframing, Gill had become aware of the Fine Art Trade Guild and the Guild Commended Framers Award. She researched it further at trade shows where she was able to talk to staff from the FATG. The notion of sitting the GCF award not only made good business sense, there is also an amount of personal pride in having “GCF” after your name. Ahead of even booking the exams, Gill bought the GCF study guide: in fact this is essential reading whether you intend to sit the exams or not. It provides an ideal reference source for methods and materials used in picture framing: it has always been one of the foundations on which the DIYframing training programme has been based. Other ways of preparing were to do a great deal of research about product , making sure the correct one was used for each element of the three framed pieces being examined. Also, looking up framers forums on the Internet helps with keeping an eye on current issues and solutions. To really ensure that she was properly prepared, Gill also booked in on a “Guild Commended Framer preparation day” with Lyn Hall GCF Adv.
In simple terms the GCF exam is a test of basic framing skills. There are 3 elements to it. Ahead of the practical exam there is a written test: the FATG give excellent guidance on the type and content of questions posed. Also prior to the examination day, you bring in 3 framed pieces, each one prepared to specific requirements set by the FATG for the exam. These will be discussed with the examiner, who looks at the quality and accuracy of your work, product choice and the aesthetic appeal of each piece. Finally there is a practical exam where you will be asked to carry out tasks, with the examiner in attendance. For more guidance click GCF Award: this will open an area of the FATG website in a new window.
Good preparation on Gill’s part meant that the written element was not as scary as she had anticipated. Stretching the canvas was difficult for her, but mainly because she had injured her hand. And, although nerves took hold making drawing coloured lines on the mount a little fraught, she was fine after a couple of “practice” efforts. All in all there were no other major problems; unless you count getting lost on the way to the examiner’s workshop. Of course they all pale into insignificance when compared to the high of receiving the email to say you’ve passed. Having passed so recently, Gill hasn’t yet received her certificate so no cheesy photos to mark the occasion ... yet!
Think about the examples you need to take with you; you will probably be asked to explain every choice you made, even down to the image choice.

The island of Inis Mór (Inishmore) meaning the big island, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ireland. It is Well known internationally with over 50 different monuments of Christian, pre Christian and Celtic mythological heritage. There isn’t far you can go before being somewhere where there’s something of historical interest and little reason to question its importance in modern Irish Culture. The main monuments are listed in the attractions. If you wish to have a mor thorough investigation of the island then checkout the Aran Islands history section which lists a more comprehensive list of sights.
Hotel and Bed and Breakfast accommodation is available on the island as well as Bike Rental or Bike hire. When travelling to Inis Mór it is recommended that you would organise accommodation prior to arriving. Ferries to the Aran Islands are available from Rossaveal (leaving Galway city) all year and from Doolin (Cliffs of Moher) from April to October.
Visitors to Inis Mor can explore the island by bike using one of the bicycles provided by Aran Bike Hire. This family owned business has dozens of well maintained bicycles to choose from, suitable for people of all ages. They can also suggest routes and places to see depending on how long you intend to spend on the island. Aran Bike Hire have bicycles available to hire by the day or by the week, and they can be found at the pier where passengers leave the boat.
Ferries to The Aran Islands and to Aran Camping and Glamping on Inis Mor can be reached by both ferry and air all through the year. This guide to how to get to Inis Mor and the Aran Islands will help you plan your trip.
Where is Inis Mor located?
Inis Mor is one of the 3 Aran Islands located off the west coast of Ireland outside of Galway Bay. There are year around connections with the mainland with two ferry services and also air transport. Please note - it is not possible to bring your car over to the Aran islands, as the ferry services do not allow for this. Vehicles can be left at the ports and the airport before boarding.
The Rossaveal port is located about 20 miles away from the centre of Galway, and is the more popular access point to the Aran Islands. It is a natural stop along the Wild Atlantic Way, and also well connected with Dublin, which is just a few hours drive away using the M6. Galway is also well connected to Dublin and other parts of Ireland with a good train service.
A shuttle service runs from the centre of Galway to the port at Rossaveal and takes about an hour. This leaves from outside The Victoria Hotel which is around the corner from Eyre Square (Click Here for a google Map). If you are travelling by car, you can leave your vehicle at the port before boarding the ferry to the Aran Islands. Taxis are available from the centre of Galway.
The ferry crossing from Rossaveal to Inis Mor takes around 40 minutes. As mentioned, no vehicles can be taken on the ferries. The ferry service from Rossaveal to Inis Mor runs all through the year, although the number of crossing may be reduced in the winter.
The alternative crossing to Inis Mor from the mainland of Ireland leaves from Doolin, although this is only a seasonal service running from April to October. The journey time is approximately 90 minutes, and no vehicles can be taken on the ferries. Anyone travelling by car can leave their vehicle at the newly renovated pier before boarding. The ferry crossing from Doolin is more popular with people travelling along the Wild Atlantic Way from South to North.
Doolin itself is a relatively small rural town, although it is quite spread out, with the port at the far end. People travelling by car will have no problem reaching it, but anyone who is using public transport to travel around Ireland may need to consider taking a taxi to the port. As with the Rossaveal ferry, we would strongly suggest booking your ferry tickets in advance if you intend to stay at Aran Camping and Glamping during the popular summer months to ensure you have a place.
No matter which ferry you decide to take to Inis Mor, you will find yourself arriving at the terminal in Kilronan, which is the main town on the island. This is a little hub of activity, where the majority of the island’s shops, bars and restaurants can be found. Aran Islands Camping and Glamping is just a short walk away, and well sign-posted. If in doubt, just ask anyone - they all know where we are!
Flights to Inis Mor are available via Aer Arann Islands based at Inverin (just outside of Galway). The plane only flies in good weather, and the timetable such as it is, subject to change.
For further information on how to get to Aran Islands Camping and Glamping, or what to see and do on Inis Mor, please contact us today. We’d love to answer any questions you may have, and help you plan your holiday with us. Please remember to check our gift vouchers page and bookings page before you go as well.
Please note * In case of adverse weather conditions please contact your Ferry/flight operator in advance to ensure your ferry is departing on time. Times may be affected by weather conditions.
Located in the heart of Galway Bay, the Aran Islands offer visitors a glimpse into a way of life that has long since disappeared from most of the country. The Islands' raw beauty and charm leaves visitors longing to return again and again. While the South - West coast of the island battles with the Atlantic, the North - East coast offers smooth passage for visitors between the mainland at Ros a' Mhíl and the Islands.
Who Aongus was is unknown. According to legend , Aonghas belonged to a high ranking dynasty who were displaced from their lands in Co. Meath in the early centuries AD. Another possible candidate, is Aonghus Mac Natfraich, King of Cashel in the 5th Century AD, who had dynastic affilliations with Aran.
Recent excavations by a team from the Discovery programme found evidence for human activity on the hilltop stretching over two and half thousand years (ca. 1500Bc – 1000 AD). First enclosed ca. 1100 BC , the most dynamic period in the history of this hillfort was around 800BC. At that time, Dun Aonghasa was probably the political, economic and ritual centre for a group of people with a common ancestry. Only the elite members of this group would have lived in the fort. After 700BC, the importance of the site waned and, over the the following thousand years, it seems to have been occupied only intermittantly. A major rebuilding programme was undertaken in the early Medievel period (500 – 1000 AD) but the fort was abandoned shortly afterwards. Dun Aonghasa became a National Monument at the end of the 19th century and was extensively repaired shortly afterwards. It is now conserved by the Office of Public Works.
Covering an area of 5.7 hectares (14 acres), the interior of the hillfort is divided into an outer, middle and inner enclosure by three curvilinear walls terminating at the cliff. An additional stretch of wall runs along west side and, when the fort was occupied, there was probably a 'safety wall' along the cliff-edge . Outside the middle closure is a broad band of chevaux de frise (closely-set stone pillars) that even today are difficult to negotiate.
The original approach to the fort was from the north and the main entrances through the outer and middle walls face in this direction. Today, the entry point is through a breach in the outer wall, but the original doorway can be seen at some distance to the right.
The original doorway to the middle enclosure, about 50m to the right of the present entrance, is now blocked up because of the poor condition of the roof lintals. The entrance would have been closed off by a wooden gate and the sudden drop inside the threshold was probably designed to trip any unwanted visitors. The bodies of two young men were interred in the paved entrance around 1000 AD. These may have had Viking connections, but there was no evidence to suggest that they died violently.
The inner enclosing wall measuring 5m in width, was built up in layers so that the foundations could be stepped over rising ground. Originally, it was probably about 6m high and ca. 6,500 tonnes of stone were used in its construction. The terrace on the interior gave access to the wall top and a small chamber in the west side of the wall may have been used for storng precious or perishable goods.
The stone foundations of seven houses were found in the inner enclosure. The floors were paved and a number had a stone hearth. The outline of a circular house, ca. 5M in diameter, is still visible near thewest wall. Its foundations are partly covered by the enclosing wall , indicating that the house predates the final alterations to the defences. A stone trough outside the door was probably used either for storing water, keeping shellfish fresh, or for boiling meat using the hot-stone cooking method. In addition to meat and cereals, fish and shellfish were an important part of the diet of the late bronze Age occupants. Almost 8 tonnes of limpet shells were found during the excavations. Most of the tools in everyday use (hammers, axes, whetstones, and quern stones) were made of stones) were made of stone. Clothing was made from wool or leather and fastened with bone pins; the range of needle types found also showed that the Late Bronze Age people used a variety of organic materials.
The rock platform at the edge may have had a ritual or ceremonial function and hoard of four bronze rings deliberately buried beside it was probably an offering to a deity. At the opposite end of the inner inclosure, a large hearth seems to have been associated with communal feasting and with the casting of bronze weapons and tools.
Kilmurvery craft village is located at the foot of Dun Aonghas and contains an eclectic mix of Irish Arts and crafts shops. Many visitors to the island browse through before entering Dun Aonghasa.

Growing companies in search of young talent have had to look to new markets to access young talent pools and take advantage of better economics, like lower salaries and real estate costs.
Tech held onto its place as the urban office sector’s dominant industry, capturing 24.2 percent of leasing volume during the first quarter of 2017, according to the latest office report from real estate services firm JLL. By comparison, the second largest occupiers in the sector are insurance and finance firms, which represented 14.2 percent of leasing volume during the first quarter.
The trend of office users “right-sizing” their space for cost efficiency, which emerged during the recession, has continued, says JLL National Research Director Julia Georgules. She notes that office users are renewing their leases, but many are downsizing, shedding excess space or allocating less square footage per employee than previously to deal with rising rents in urban markets.
Early in the cycle it was San Francisco and New York that drove most of that activity. More recently, however, the trend has expanded into other big cities, including Boston, Seattle and Chicago. But as tenant demand increased in these core urban markets, it pushed up rents and reduced the supply of available office space.
As a result, growing companies in search of young talent have had to look to new markets to access those talent pools and take advantage of better economics, like lower salaries and real estate costs. Meanwhile, young professionals are also opting to make a home in some of these smaller markets, due to a high quality of life and lower housing costs.
Many urban markets, including San Francisco and Seattle, have surpassed previous peak rents. For instance, San Francisco’s overall office rent, according to a JLL’s fourth quarter 2016 report, was $73.65 per sq. ft., up from the peak 2007 asking rent of $42.12 per sq. ft.
The rent advantage in secondary urban markets is notable, though office rents in those markets are on the rise. “Smaller markets were slower to recover, so there’s more momentum in rent growth now at the later part of the cycle,” according to Georgules.
This is good news for investors, Georgules adds, as there are still some markets on the upswing that can provide higher yields. She points to Columbus, Ohio, Richmond, Va. and Miami as some of these markets.
“From an investor standpoint, assets in gateway cities are getting pretty pricey at this stage in the cycle and yields are contracting so much, investors are looking at secondary urban or suburban markets,” says Scott Lathan, vice chairman and co-lead of the New York capital markets group with real estate services firm Colliers International. He notes that the trend includes foreign investors, which view U.S. urban markets as more opportunistic and stable than markets at home.
Columbus is good example of these trends. With overall asking rent of $18.96 per sq. ft., according to a mid-year 2016 JLL report, it still has room for rent growth. A number of Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in the city, and a significant talent pool can be found in the Short North neighborhood, which is located just north of downtown, south of the Ohio State University campus and a short walk away from the Nationwide Arena district office market.
The neighborhood began gentrifying in the 1980s and now attracts hip, young professionals. With buildings dating back to the 1920s, it is heavily populated with storefronts along High Street, which include art galleries, specialty shops, pubs, nightclubs and coffee houses. The commercial area is surrounded by old apartment buildings, row houses and newer condominium projects.
Class-B buildings in urban markets often have the architectural features that tech and media companies want, according to Latham. He adds, however, that while there has always been demand for such properties, the current price points might be getting too high, with rents going from $30 per sq. ft. to $50. For the time being, however, this isn’t discouraging users.
Chicago’s 1K Fulton, a former cold storage facility in the city’s Fulton Market sub-market that was redeveloped and leased to Google, is probably the best example of this, says Georgules. Another example is the former Sears building in Uptown Oakland, Calif., which Uber purchased for its headquarters. “This put that sub-market on the map from a demand perspective,” she notes.
The redevelopment of the former Ford Factory in the Los Angeles Arts District is another interesting play, and the first major project to land a tenant in that sub-market, capturing Warner Music. Georgules also notes that in downtown Durham, N.C. several former tobacco factories have been renovated to accommodate office tenants. She cites the American Tobacco campus, which is home to more than 200 start-ups, as a good example.
For investors in office assets, finding the right property has become a question of which neighborhood and street to look at, rather than which market.
“You can’t look from the bottom down any more, you need to look from the center out. That’s where you’re going to see what’s in demand and what’s not,” Georgules says, noting that fringe markets are a natural expansion of the central business districts (CBDs).
Correction: There was a typo in first reference to Scott Latham's name. This has now been fixed.

The weekend started off tough. Dominguez Hills was having an off year and we were surging after a first half slump. We needed to win almost every series to be able to make play offs, so every game was critical. The Friday game went back and forth. We scored first in the game but they quickly answered with 2 runs of their own. We were down 4-5 in the 8th inning and I was up first. Their second relief pitcher grooved me a first pitch fastball and I landed on it down the right field line. I raced to the base with a feet first slide. Safe. The next batter bunted and then I scored on an infield hit. Tie game in the 8th inning in what seemed like a must win game. I was taken out after that for a defensive sub, but they hit a leadoff home run which lead to be the difference in the game. Losing 5-6 to a sub .500 team was hard to swallow, but that feeling didn’t last for long. The next game we came out with a vengeance. We scored 3 in the first, 4 in the second and sprinkled one run innings throughout the rest of the game. Grant Larson, our game 2 starting pitcher, went 8 strong with only a few hits and no runs. We won 13-0, feeling good about ourselves again. The second game of the double header was more of the same from our offense. Not only did we score 3 in the first again, our pitching shut out Dominguez Hills again. We hadn’t had back to back shut outs all year.
extra base hits, however, our offense put up 4 doubles and lots of good at bats all game long. Just as we left off the last 2 games, putting up 12+ total hits. I went 5-14 that weekend with 2 doubles and 3 rbis. The final game of a series is always a grind but we made it out on top with a final of 13-7.

So here I am on my final post of the ten day series Counting My Blessings and I am going to cheat, I am counting three in this post, and will put it under the heading ‘My Family’.
First let’s talk about my son Tom. I chose this picture carefully because he is on top of a peak in the Lake District in England, with the sun behind him, and for me it symbolises how he can do anything he wants, he is young, and his life is in front of him with every opportunity available should he wish to take it.
I am proud of him: how he has coped with mum and dad moving to France, has pursued his dream of working in the gaming industry and has never given that up. I don’t think he realises just how much strength you need to pursue your dream, and exactly how much strength he actually has.
He is full of fun, empathetic and learnt his lesson to walk in others shoes and is loved by so many people. I am proud of him.
Now my second blessing, my sister. She will kill me for putting this photo on, but she has to be in this, not least for the support she has given Tom over the past four years. The second photo is of Tom and I, with Tom getting ready to walk her down the aisle.
We have had our ups and downs, as sisters do! She thinks she’s always right ( and annoyingly more often than not she is!) But she is always there, she cares, and Tom would not have his dream job without her tenacity and love.
If any of you have read my serialisation of my soon to be published book (it will happen this year whatever) https://makingthisbetter.com you will know how Rich I and sailed The Ocean of Despair for a long time, to get to where we are today.
This man fought tooth and nail to keep me; he evolved because he wanted to, not because I asked him to; because I never did! After what happened he had to keep up with me, I wasn’t going to wait for him!
And every minute of every hour of every day he did.
I once had someone say to me that they ‘had never had a man look at them in the way Rich looks at me’ and that was true, I know I am truly blessed to have that in my life.
He is a kind and gentle giant, who enabled me to trust him enough to come on this adventure. He makes me laugh every day, literally every day, with his dry sense of humour, and silliness.
Everyone he meets loves him, because he just sees the funny side of life. Look at him in this picture, he is so naughty he has led them all astray.
I am blessed to have this man in my life, he is sensitive and loving; strong when I need him. I could not be on this adventure without him. We are blessed to be as strong as we are now, and we both count that blessing every day, and NEVER take it for granted.
I know he will cry when he reads this; and that just makes me love him even more.
So my final blessing, my family, but more than that: the pride I have for my son, the hope I have for him too.
The understanding I have of my sister, and the respect too. My book wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for her!
The respect I have for my husband, the love I have for them all. I am truly blessed.
I hope you have enjoyed this series; And I hope it has made people think about the small things, because, trust me, they are the things that keep you going in life. So in this New Year, please take time to stop, and see the small stuff.
You’ll all be glad to know that the Incredible Hulk is now back in his cage.
Yesterday after blogging and writing I spent the afternoon in the garden with hubby and the puppies.
The sun was shining on this late autumn day, and it was cold, with a nippy wind, and I loved it. I let the cold air blow through my brain, and remind me, as the Tao so often does, that what is needed is what you’ve got.
Nearly three years ago we chopped down fourteen pine trees that divided our garden and cut out the light. They were big babies and trying to cut through them with just a chainsaw was nigh on impossible.
They’ve been protection for the chickens, an extra to make sure Wiglet could not get under the wire. They have been used to hold the fencing down around the garden, and they have been used as perches for the chooks. But the time has come to use them, before they rot.
There is nothing more rewarding than using what is available to you, letting nothing go to waste. Add to these the logs we have from the sycamore we pollarded in January, with more to cut; and the oak logs, with more to cut, that will not be ready until the winter after next, and we are set up for the next three winters.
So the log store is full with a mixture of pine and hardwood (you can burn pine providing you mix it with other woods) I’ve burnt calories, the puppies are happy and our garden is getting tidy, in small steps.
I don’t have a lot in material things, but what I do have money cannot buy. I am blessed.
Changes – Follow the trees and go where the wind takes you.
As I sit here on a rainy autumn morning, I am inspired to write in the blog that got me out there. This is the blog that is the sequel to the other one really (makingthisbetter.com) – even though I started writing it first – because this blog is about our next adventure, and in it I hope it shows all the things we learnt on that bomb strewn road that we travelled for so long.
So I am sitting in bed with my second cup of tea, looking out at my favourite tree gently swaying with the breeze and going with it, instead of fighting against it, and I am reminded, as the seasons change, that change happens every minute of every day; and you just have to go with it, bend like the tree, and understand that fighting against it won’t change anything.
Autumn is, for me, a particularly poignant time of year, the leaves are dying, birds are leaving, winter (and harder times) are coming, and the year is drawing to a close. But you can’t fight it, so why not enjoy it, because it is the season where nature puts on one of her most stunning dresses, and shows us how beautiful everything is, even in death.
Even this week, after being extremely busy with Rich doing the roof, and me being main caterer and house maintainer, I have changed our lives again; I have set up my new blog, a serialisation of my book ( The book currently has the title ‘I don’t think I can do this’) and put it out there for the world to see, and our lives have changed again. In less than six days it has had nearly a thousand views all over the world and counting. I know it is not only a good story, and that it would touch the hearts of many, but that it would also help people. We both knew this could make a change to our lives, but we are strong together now and know that it won’t change what we have learnt.
I have to say that it has been an especially brave thing for my husband to do, because right now, where the story is at the moment in his words, he looks like a c**t! I did reply that at that time he was a c**t but the important thing for him to remember is that he is not one now, and it is always the here and now we deal with.
So changes are still happening, we had planned to get out in the garden this weekend, to try our our new log splitter (the things that excite us now!); and to continue with the mammoth task of cutting our wood. But the rain came yesterday and we had to get the final part of the roof watertight, because it is not yet finished; and ‘The Livermore’ and Dylly Dylly have decided to make an impromptu visit and are arriving on Monday, this time with A.N. Other in tow, to see if they fit in with the pack ( see more changes!); and today we planned on going to a vide grenier, but the rain put paid to that.
So, going with the flow, we have spent a morning in bed with the two Welshie snuggle bums, later I will do a little housework and then blog, there is a big story to tell….
But remember folks, this blog, moisfrenchadventure.com is really the adventures of Moisy and Rich here and now, going with the flow, so this one is the one to keep you grounded when the other blog takes your breath away.
A big thank you to you all for your fantastic support.
Changes – The Roof – The history of our house has started to unfold..
Firstly I want to say a big thank you to all those who offered their advice regarding my question on my last post. A new blog will be set up early next week, it may shock some of you, but will show how adversity can, more often than not, bring about change for the good.
The roof is now well underway, as you can see from the picture above the old dormer window has now gone. We had to be realistic we were never going to use the small amount of storage space in the roof, and to keep it would have added additional cost to the work, so it had to go.
Continuing with the theme of change the roof started to help us understand the history of this house. We had always thought that our kitchen was a later ‘addition’ to the house (our house was built in 1812) but we now know that it had been an open ended stable, and the loft above it would have been used to store the hay for the animals. At some point it was bricked up and turned into our kitchen. You can see from the photo how the bricks were put in to create a doorway, and if you look to the left I believe that there used to be a window there also.
It also explains why we have such small windows (soon to be made bigger) in the wall at the side of the house, they would have just been open windows, the type you find in a barn.
The door to our living room from the kitchen is a beautiful, sturdy, solid oak door (shame about the wallpaper on it for some reason French people used to love wallpapering doors!) so we had assumed that this had been an outside door at some stage in our house’s history.
We also had our suspicions because it was clear that at some point the front door to our house was here, leading straight into what is now our big our living room. There is a concrete lintel in the floor under the window, which was a step at one time.
It was probably led into a small kitchen then, as you can see that our living room was originally two rooms, as there is a steel rafter across the centre of the room.
It’s been an exciting and busy time, the cats have loved investigating the old loft space, and our garden looks like a building site, but the first stage of the roof is now watertight and ready for the tiles next week.
We have been blessed with good weather, and I am counting my blessings every day. I realise as I write this now, how we are making more changes to this house, that will add to it’s history that, one day, someone else will uncover.
As I always say the only constant in life is change.
Keep reading, there’s more to come folks.

From 1880s till the 1950s over 90% of Auckland’s wetlands were drained, so this tidal area is prized by wetland birds. It is one of the few significant wetland bird feeding & breeding grounds in the Waitemata Harbour. For over 50 years, Waterview Bay behind Motu Manawa suffered from sewage overflows, but after Forest & Bird got a marine reserve established in 2005, Auckland City Council was forced to clean up this area. Now, we are actively working to ensure the two islands within the marine reserve (Traherne and Pollen Island) are pest-free and weed-free so that native flora and fauna can flourish again.
Motu Manawa: Sewage-free, pest-free, weed-free.
Since 2005, Forest & Bird has undertaken pest-busting and weed-banishing activities to ensure the native plants (harakeke, manuka, karamu, mapou, karo) and animals can thrive.
Currently the islands are accessible by kayak at high tide or on foot at low tide however ultimately we would like to improve public access by creating a safe bird-walk using a marked trial.
We are also conducting field studies to discover what other plants, animals and reptiles live on and around these islands and surrounding lands.
Contact us (details below) to register your interest in being actively involved in this project.

This year I am trying to adhere to Michael Pollan’s tenant of only eating junk food I make myself. This has been very hard as a lover of all fried food, but I think understanding how things are made – and what’s in them – is an important component of eating healthy.
Breading is normally a pain, but this recipe minimizes the steps with a simple batter, though the frying takes some time. Look for unbromulated, unbleached white flour – Bob’s Red Mill is my favorite.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy. Note that one large onion makes a shocking amount of rings but you can double the proportions for a crowd.
1. Cut the ends of the onion and remove the outer papery layer. Cut the onion lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices and separate the rings.
2. Mix all dry ingredients together, then slowly add in seltzer, whisking as you go. Add additional seltzer as needed – the batter should be thick and without clumps.
3. Drop the onions rings into the batter and let sit for a moment.
4. Pour canola oil to depth of 1″ in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Test temperature of oil by spooning a drop of batter into pan. The oil is ready when the batter sizzles and floats.
6. Fry onion rings in batches of three or four, about one to two minutes per side. The onion rings are ready when golden – do not crowd the pan or the temperature of the oil will drop and your rings will be soggy! Add more oil to the pan as needed throughout the frying.
7. Drain cooked onion rings on a paper towel.
*To reheat leftovers, place onion rings on a wire rack over a baking sheet and place in oven set to a 200 F til warmed through.

While I don’t think that I can ascribe great personal significance to any of the comics I’ve covered in this series, I’d have to say that G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #48 is probably one of the most important because this was the series that would become the most read and collected of my brief foray into comics in 1987. This was also a book that when I would read through the back and current issues that I had collected (and by the time my collecting fell off, there were quite a few) would have a cracked cover and rolled spine, showing the beating it had taken since I first got my hand on it at my friend Chris’s birthday party.
That’s basically the main plot of the book, as it’s very much a “bottle episode” of a television show because it takes place mostly at The Pit, which was the nickname for the Joes’ HQ. Back in issue #46, Ripcord had infiltrated Cobra Island in search of his girlfriend Candy and was knocked out cold. Zartan decided that this was a great opportunity for him to infiltrate the Joe headquarters, so he disguised Ripcord as himself and then took Ripcord’s form using his morphing powers. While Ripcord wakes up in a hospital Springfield (a town in the United States that Cobra completely controls) and then proceeds to continue to search for Candy while fighting his way through Cobra operatives, Zartan is “treated” in The Pit’s infirmary, but his cover is quickly blown.
Ripcord’s story continues in the following issue (whose main focus is Destro aiding Dr. Mindbender in the creation of Serpentor), which means that the main focus here is Zartan, who is chased around The Pit and tries to elude capture by changing form several times and nearly gets away with it but is ultimately brought down by a brand new Joe, Sgt. Slaughter, who was a character I always had mixed feelings about because I knew him from the WWF (although in an interesting bit of trivia, Slaughter’s role in G.I. Joe is what led to him leaving the WWF in the mid-1980s, as Vince McMahon did not want to allow him to license himself to Hasbro; Slaughter would return in the early 1990s as an Iraqi-sympathizing heel), and therefore he was more like an “imported” character than one of the more “home grown” characters. And yes, I felt like this when I was nine years old. Plus, his solving the problem, while it definitely was meant to be slightly comedic (two Gung Hos come at Sarge and he punches one. When asked how he knew which one was Zartan, Sarge basically says, “I didn’t.”), also seems a little forced in that “look at how awesome this new character is” sort of way that didn’t always work on television shows, cartoons, or comic books. I haven’t read much beyond this issue recently, so I can’t really say how much of a role Sgt. Slaughter plays in future storylines, and I know that Larry Hama focused more on the ninja-type characters anyway (as we’ll see when I get into the actual “Origin Story” podcast).
The end of the issue is a meeting between Hawk and several of the U.S. military’s top brass, which carries on one of the running subplots of the time–Cobra has its own island and has managed to get “sovereign nation” status from the United Nations and the U.S. is hamstrung as to what to do. Cobra is a terrorist organization, so attacking Cobra Island would be considered an actual act of war, so the brass tell Hawk that the island is off-limits. This sets up what will be a huge story in issue #50, which is where the Joes invade Springfield and ultimately find nothing, something that leads to the team’s downfall (which includes Cobra invading The Pit around issue #53).
It’s a testament to Larry Hama’s writing that he could create such a continuity for an audience whose primary desire in picking up the comic was to see their action figures have adventures, although that’s not something I realized at the time, even though it would be soon enough.
And that’s it for my “Comics Prehistory.” Tune in on September 30, 2016 for the first episode of “Origin Story,” where I will cover G.I. Joe and The Transformers #1.

Customers and friends have been paying tribute to High Barnet’s popular milkman, Tam Hughes, whose franchise with Milk and More was terminated at short notice after he had been delivering milk for over 30 years. A collection to say “thank you” has already raised £220 among former customers in Byng Road and Wentworth Road.
As other households on his round are hearing of his mis-fortune they too are finding ways to express their gratitude with letters, cards and donations.
When Mr Hughes, now 59, became a milkman for Express Dairies in 1986, he was one of six serving High Barnet from a depot in Whetstone. Originally his round was made up of the streets around Alston Road and Stapylton Road.
Over the 32 years that elapsed, and in the face of competition from supermarkets, all six rounds were reduced to one – stretching from the Stirling Corner roundabout, through to Arkley and High Barnet, and on up to Hadley.
“All the support from my customers has been really heartening in recent weeks because to begin with I really did get very down on losing my round.
Mr Hughes’ contract was terminated after a dispute about changes to his delivery schedule.
Milk and More, which is owned the Muller diary business, wants to expand its distribution network by offering customers groceries and other goods, as well as milk, which can all be ordered on line the night before.
In the process Milk and More is moving from a day-time to an overnight delivery schedule with all home deliveries having to be completed before 7 am, so that fresh milk arrives in time for breakfast.
When faced with the prospect of having to change his round to night-time delivery – and having to start work at midnight, rather than 4am in the morning – Mr Hughes made it clear he was not prepared to accept the new conditions.
As a result, Milk and More gave him three months’ notice in October that his franchise would be terminated. He sought advice from the employment conciliation service ACAS and from a solicitor but found there was little he could do as franchise workers had very few rights.
After a further disagreement, he said he was left with no alternative but to resign in order to ensure repayment of bond money of around £6,000 that he had paid to secure the franchise.
Muller acquired Milk and More, formerly operated by Dairy Crest, in 2015 and says its force of 1,100 self-employed franchise milk roundsmen are attracting a growing number of new customers as families prefer their milk to be delivered in a glass bottle, thus helping to reduce their use of plastic.
But Mr Hughes fears that Milk and More’s claim that their business model will preserve the iconic British milkman is misplaced.
From what I understand half my 400 customers have given up their deliveries. They don’t want their milk dropped off at one o’clock in the morning by someone they never see and don’t know. They miss the relationship they had with their milkman.
“I realise, to coin a pun, that it’s no use crying over spilled milk. Milk and More are convinced they are right, but I don’t think they understand their customers.
“I used to deliver inside little estates of retirement houses and blocks of flats. Elderly people just aren’t happy having to give that sort of access to a stranger in the middle of the night.
Mr Hughes’ 32-year career highlights the changing patterns in home delivery. Originally, he was an employee of Express Dairies but that changed when Dairy Crest took over and his round became a franchise.
The depot moved to Kingsbury and later to Watford requiring him to wake up at 4am to get there in time from his home in Mill Hill and then to drive his electric float down the A41 to Stirling Corner at the start of his round.
“I’m from the old school. I loved seeing my customers and getting to know them.
“I suppose the most heart-warming event was the day I probably saved the life of one of my customers in Blenheim Road off Wood Street. There was no reply so together with a neighbour we forced the door and there she was collapsed in the bath.
The collection among former customers in Byng Road and Wentworth Road was organised by Melvyn Sears, membership secretary of the Barnet Residents Association, who said that what happened for Mr Hughes was “a tragedy after so many years of faithful service”.
Among those who donated to the £220 for Mr Hughes, was an “outlier” – a former Wentworth Road resident who moved to the Isle of Wight 17 years ago but wanted to express her appreciation.
One of Mr Hughes’ former customers said that despite her support and sympathy for him, she faced a dilemma as she feared that continuing with Milk and More was probably the only way to encourage greater use of glass rather than plastic.
Sorry to hear about Tam . But good luck to him for standing up to these people who think they can just tell us when we have our milk . I certainly don't want my milk on the door step in the middle of the night to be pinched and I still have to pay for . And how do you leave the money out .
I’ve got a “ring” doorbell because of rising burglaries in the area and the last thing I want is someone approaching my door at 3am every morning and setting it off!
At a time when community is dying it’s such a shame to lose a happy face on our streets.
For Tam and the community he served the termination of his contract by Milk and More is a sorry action. He was a reliable, professional and loyal milkman, always a cheery visitor.
The changes in delivery times made by Milk and More are made to enhance their profits but a dishonourable way to treat an employee and his satisfied customers.
We have had a car and other things stolen from the front garden, and night moochers.Leaving payment for the bill out overnight, to a person I do know nor am ever likely to see, is not the best idea from my point of view.
I know that the money transaction can be done over the Internet but I don't do financial settlement this way.
Thought my story might be interesting. My Father, Robert Victor Ward worked for United Dairies out of Tottenham Depot around 1920's to 1950"s. He started with a horse and cart ,thenprams(hand barrows ultimately electric milk floats. To start his day he had to deliver half a pint to all his customers ensuring them fresh milk for breakfast before going round again o top up their requirements for the day. His work at the depot was broken by call up during the war years 1940- 1945 when he returned to his round at the end of hostilities. He suffered two accident on the milk, the first was when his horse slipped on the ice and pulled him off the top of the cart breaking ribs and the second was when his horse lashed out with hind legs severing his finger. It was a while before he could carry 5 Empty bottles in that hand again. No health and safety and of course no compensation back then. Unfortunately he died at the young age of 61 having been born in the year 1900; the year Queen Victoria came to the throne. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED I have a few Photos.
Shame on them. He was good and reliable. If they treat people like Tam in that way why would anyone want to work for them knowing they could receive the same treatment. Ring doorbells are gaining popularity fast and are audible at night as well as by day so cause disruption to sleep. I hope they lose all of their trade and hope Tam's customers will back him up and use another means of getting their milk.

Tucked away in the enchanting woodland surrounding Hawkwood sits the iconic structure of the Woodland Sanctuary, a tranquil space for quiet contemplation in the spirit of silence. It is the culmination of an 8 year-long project originally conceived by Lawrence Hart and Girish Patel, whose aim was to create a place of refuge and inner stillness. Volunteers worked hard over several years to realise this creative vision and the project was funded entirely by donation. Members of The School of Meditation in London were particularly generous and supported the initiative in memory of Lawrence who sadly died in 2005.
Hawkwood was established in 1948 as a centre for promoting the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. Over the years the expression of this original impulse has moved with the times to become a vibrant centre for future thinking and creative exploration. The 42 acres of sustainably managed land include an organic farm, outdoor classroom, 10 acres of woodland, a walled garden, natural spring, ponds and wetlands, beehives and labyrinth. From the house forecourt there are far-reaching views to the Southwest including the Forest of Dean and South Wales.
By car: From the west and north, take Exit 13 off the M5 and follow signs to Stroud centre. From the east, take Exit 15 off the M4 and follow the A419 past Cirencester to Stroud. If coming from the Oxford area, follow the A429 or B4425 off the A40 to Cirencester. Follow the A419 from Cirencester as above. From Stroud centre, follow the A46, then the Painswick Old Road (which is signposted ‘to Wick St.').
By public transport: By train or bus - take a taxi from the Stroud train or bus station (approx. 2 miles). By Plane - the closest airports are Bristol, Birmingham and Heathrow. Take a bus/train from Bristol, Birmingham or Heathrow to Stroud.
On foot: Walking from Stroud centre takes approximately half an hour. There are footpaths as an alternative to the lane. Please consult ordnance survey map. Hawkwood is not far from The Cotswold Way and The Wysis Way.
Facilities: Regrettably, this is not accessible for wheelchair users, unless with help as the woodland paths are undulating and with uneven surface. There are toilet facilities in the house or converted stables - please ask Reception for directions. There is a compost toilet in the woodland near the walled garden.
There are ornamental gardens around the house and a half-walled garden and orchard which is accessible to some degree, but as it is sited on a hill wheelchair users would need help to access the garden.
Hot drinks (by donation) are available in the dining room, depending on time of day. Natural spring water in the lower garden. Accommodation can be arranged (email info@hawkwoodcollege.co.uk or ring 01453 759034) and quiet days for individuals or group can be arranged. The hospitaller is available Tuesday – Friday 9-5 pm. (or contact the duty manager).

Orthopedic surgeon Tom Price, a Republican congressman from Georgia, is President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the $1 trillion Department of Health and Human Services.
The problem has clearly caught the attention of some in the Price household. Price’s wife, Betty Price, an anesthesiologist who since 2015 has represented the couple’s home district in the Georgia House of Representatives, pushed through the Georgia House this last March a bill that would have liberalized state needle exchange programs. (Dirty needles used by injectable drug users are a prime source of HIV and hepatitis C infections.) Betty Price’s bill would have allowed counselors, programs for the homeless, drug treatment centers, and other organizations, in addition to doctors and pharmacists, to distribute sterile syringes to intravenous drug users. However, the bill failed in the state Senate, “due to some controversial aspects,” Betty Price told Georgia Health News.
The other Dr. Price, on the other hand, voted to block U.S. funding for needle exchange programs in 2009, several years into his now-12-year stint representing Georgia’s sixth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He also voted in 2007 to prevent the District of Columbia from using its own, nonfederal funds on needle exchange programs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Institute of Medicine, and numerous other scientific bodies have found needle exchange programs to be highly effective in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C.
It’s unclear whether, and to what extent, Tom Price’s experience of the opioid epidemic plaguing his home district will influence his priorities should the Senate confirm him as HHS secretary; neither of the doctors Price was available for comment.
At least one advocacy group, however, is not optimistic about the impact of a Tom Price tenure as secretary of the $1 trillion HHS. The Washington, D.C.–based group Communities Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief issued a 30 November statement pronouncing itself “deeply concerned” by Price’s nomination, not least because of his intent to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which has allowed full health insurance coverage for many more people living with HIV.
In the meantime, the new U.S. representative from Georgia’s sixth district could end up voting differently on needle exchange than the current occupant of that seat: Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, reports this week that Betty Price may be running for her husband’s seat.

China’s exporters are increasingly cornering markets on ingredients in prepared foods, some of which will go on to be labeled “local,” reports Wayne Roberts in Toronto’s Now magazine.
Such foods can be deemed local because their packing and packaging costs as much as their ingredients. Customs limitations, however, make it difficult to gauge the quality of Chinese ingredients and the environmental standards under which they were grown.
Chinese ingredients that dominate the prepared foods market, Roberts reports, include apples, apple juice, dried berries, organic frozen broccoli, cinnamon, fish, garlic, honey, vanilla, and xanthum gum.

Last year the Irish Farmer’s Journal ran a comprehensive comparison test, ‘Which magazine style’, on petrol chainsaws. They tested six top-name chainsaws in several categories including semi-professional, professional and hobby.
These machines were from Oleo-Mac, Stihl, Husqvarna, Jonsered and McCulloch. After a series of tough tests the final results were potentially surprising to some critics. In the professional category, the Oleo-Mac CS650 (see below) was deemed to be the best value in the group, with power, performance, easy-starting, the right features customers look for in a contemporary saw and a price that was over a hundred Euros below some of the others.
In fact, across the board in comparison, the Oleo-Mac saws hold up their end in both value, feature and performance terms. This clearly confirms Oleo-Mac’s place up there with the perceived big-boys of powered garden machinery.
And yet, if you ask many people what’s the best chainsaw, they will often go straight to the German or Swedish brands. This is a common phenomenon in chainsaw brand comparison. I mean, a chainsaw from a Mediterranean country like Italy couldn’t possibly be as good as one from the snowy, rough terrains of northern European or Scandinavian countries could they? The answer is yes, of course they could. Italian engineering, when it comes to powered machinery, is up there with the best. If you have to farm in the Italian alps, the rugged Tyrol or on the terraced slopes of the Amalfi coast, you would know you need tough, reliable equipment.
Myths are often built up about big brands but, in fact, in terms of build quality, performance and features, Oleo-Mac chainsaws frequently out perform their competitors and nearly always beat them hands-down on price. The biggest, most famous brand is not necessarily the best brand in the same way that the person who shouts loudest is not necessarily right.
Building a brand is almost always a long and painstaking process involving careful quality control of your products, making sure your marketing strategy is right, ensuring the customer becomes fond of, and loyal to, your products, your ethos and your company. But ultimately you need products that work well, compete with their rivals and that customers want. Over and over Oleo-Mac are proving this. If you offer value and quality at competitive prices people will slowly change their habits. This is happening right now, changing the perceptions of potential customers.
If you’ve not tried an Oleo-Mac Chainsaw, brushcutter or one of their their stylish sleek and heavy-duty mowers, now is the time. MowDirect is the exclusive supplier in the UK at the moment and can offer very good deals. We are proud of this connection with the Italian leaders because we believe, as the growing numbers of happy customers do, this is a brand that is slowly, but surely, going places.

While I am prone to solo travel, I have been asked to lead a few group excursions and while it can indeed be a hair-pulling experiment in frustration, I have learned a thing or two. It’s like an art form – done well, it can be the most glorious of times, done poorly, it can get bad in a hurry. So consider this your guide to traveling with a big group of people—headache avoided.
Anyone who has ever traveled in a large group knows that someone inevitably ends up stepping up to the plate and acts as leader. Do not try to resist this! Having a leader or two will make things much easier for everyone, and likely keep a million emails/text messages from flying around randomly with no direction or solutions. It streamlines everything. Also, use Google Drive and apps to keep things organized.
Are all your group members on the same page about how you like to spend your time?
Do most people in the group prefer to chill out at home or go hit the clubs?
Are people more fearful or more adventurous?
What about introverts and extroverts?
Whenever possible, go for group rates and deals – always ask, people/companies want your business! If you have a larger number of people, look for group airfare rates, ability to waive a change fee, or even swap passenger names. You can also score sweet group deals on your accommodation as most hotels will offer a complimentary suite upgrade if you book more than 10 rooms, and flag you for VIP treatment.
Personally, whenever I travel with more than two people, I skip the hotels and rent houses, which can be more fun and affordable as a group. If you want to go super luxe, check out some upscale home rental sites, like onefinestay,Sonder, and Oasis, in addition to your usual suspects (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.).
Travefy. It lets you gather everyone’s flight and hotel info into one single, shareable itinerary, and you can chat with everyone on your trip in the app. You can also create group polls, enabling you to easily take a crowd vote.
Prava. Similarly, you can share a group itinerary and talk to your friends within this app, but Prava has an additional feature that lets you share your location while doing so.
Doodle. If you only want to create group polls, go for this one. It’s also available in desktop form, which allows you to send a Doodle poll in an email.
Splitwise (free). Everyone enters the amount they paid, and Splitwise tells you who owes what. Thanks to a partnership with Venmo, you can settle your bill directly in the app. One problem: Splitwise doesn’t factor in international currencies, so if you’re traveling abroad, consider downloading Splitwise Pro, which costs $2.99 per month but has currency conversion capabilities, as well as other features, like the ability to scan your receipts.
Splittr ($1.99). It does convert your currency, but it does not incorporate Venmo or payment abilities, so you’ll have to pay your friends back outside of the app.
A lot of your money goes toward food and drinks, so go into your trip thinking about food and drinks – don’t forget to book restaurant reservations in advance (I always use Open Table within the US)! And if you’re taking the rental route, you can cook up big, fun group meals OR hire a local chef. Obviously make one grocery run at the beginning of the trip for basic stuff—think eggs,bread & jam, wine, chips, wine, good cheese…did I say wine?
Hope some of these tips helps you plan a low-stress trip, you’ll be able to enjoy that quality time together even more. In today’s all-too-hectic, digital world, those rare uninterrupted moments of togetherness are precious. And that’s really what traveling with your friends & family is all about.

On the outskirts of Falkirk , on the Edinburgh - Stirling main line.
The station is on the outskirts of the town and is quite rural.
Join the A883 towards Falkirk and follow this road. After the two lines of the railway triangle cross overhead at the roundabout take exit 1 (left turn) and the station will be on your left.
There are some shops on main road at end of station approach. How ever there are no toilet facilities on the station.
Given the east west direction of the line the morning is best for east bound traffic, the afternoon onwards better for west bound traffic. The alternative is a backlit shot.
The driection for trains from Ayrshire, Stirling and Mossend.
The direction for trains from Edinburgh, Grangemouth and Longannet.

New York City subways used to display signs advertising a school for shorthand. “If u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd job,” they declared. I never did try for the “good job” they were dangling in front of me, even though I “could read this” easily. But I did have fun watching people puzzle out the missing letters. SAT sentence completions are only a little more complicated than the missing-letter ads on the subway. The words you see have all their letters — always a plus in reading! Also, the test makers tuck some clues into the sentence so you can figure out what’s missing. The hardest questions include words known only by people who eat dictionaries for breakfast (low carb, but not very tasty).
On the SAT you find from five to eight sentence completions in each Critical Reading section. The usual SAT scoring applies: one point for each correct answer, no points for a skipped question, and a quarter-point deduction for each error. In this chapter, I explain how to approach the easy and mid-level sentence completions. I also provide strategies for the tough questions, including when to guess and when to skip.
If you’re having a small anxiety attack right now worrying about sentence completions, take a deep breath and relax. In this section, you discover how to identify the different types of sentence completions, the first step toward solving them.
Each Critical Reading section on the SAT has some single-blank and some double-blank questions. Don’t assume that the doubles are harder. Some are actually easier than the singles because more words give you more clues. Continue reading to see what the different types look like and to find out some general tips on solving these little buggers.
Because she was upset by the security guard’s close attention, Suzy Sunshine stormed out of the lingerie store and remained _____ for the rest of the day.
The answer is (C). Here’s the deal: Upon reading the sentence, you immediately think of an innocent shopper tailed too closely by a security guard. You picture little Suzy abandoning the piles of luxury underwear and heading home. Real-world experience tells you that Suzy is probably annoyed or even indignant. As you check for clues in the sentence, you notice because and stormed. The because tells you to focus on answers that would be consequences of Suzy’s experience in the store. Stormed tells you about Suzy’s mood. Several words pop into your head when you think about the blank — grouchy, mad, angry, and so forth. When you check the choices, you see (C), annoyed, and that’s the answer.
Upset by the security guard’s attention, Suzy Sunshine stormed out of the lingerie store and remained _____ for the rest of the day.
To answer these questions, be aware of what the sentence implies as well as what it states.
Although she was upset by the security guard’s close attention and stormed out of the lingerie store, Suzy Sunshine remained _____ for the rest of the day.
The answer is (B). The word although sets up a contrast. Because she stormed, you know Suzy was annoyed upon leaving the store. The although tells you that her mood changed and that (C) is the opposite of what you want. Choosing your own fill-in, you may opt for peaceful. (When you create your own fill-in, don’t worry about grammar or proper English. Just concentrate on the meaning.) Serene, or peaceful, is the choice that fits best.
Suppose you create your own fill-in but nothing matches it? For instance, in the preceding question you may have said alone or secluded. Not bad, but not on the answer list. Either create a new fill-in or check out the choices and see what appeals.
Note: More than one choice may work. In the preceding example, joyful contrasts with stormed. However, stormed has an element of anger in it, so serene is better.
Despite her _____ mood, Suzy Sunshine put on a _____ face when she faced the tabloid reporter.
The answer is (B). Even if you’ve never been a celebrity, life in the 21st century has probably given you the impression that tabloid reporters can grasp the tiniest thread and turn it into a rope strong enough to hang a naïve interview subject. So (A), (B), and (C) are all possibilities, unless Suzy is going for the sympathy vote, in which case (E) makes the cut. But the word clue despite tells you to search for opposites. You can rule out (A), (D), and (E) because they’re closer to synonyms. Choice (B) quickly emerges as the best choice — an opposite that also matches real-world clues.
If you’re fairly sure that you know the correct word for either one of the blanks, zero in on the choices that fit and ignore the rest. But don’t jump on an answer simply because it fits one of the blanks. Go for something that fits both because a shortcut may easily lead you astray. As a matter of fact, the SAT writers are crossing their fingers and hoping that you select the quick — but wrong — answer.
If you see a sentence completion with relatively simple words, read extra carefully. Be sure that you understand the meaning of the sentence before choosing an answer. To make your life even more miserable than usual, the SAT writers usually place one very appealing wrong answer among the five choices in this sort of sentence completion. If you space out for even a second or if you overlook one picky little detail, you may fall headfirst into an SAT trap.
The best method of attack is to eliminate the choices that contain words you have never seen before and then concentrate on the remaining answers. Follow the same strategy in reading the sentence that you followed for simple-vocabulary questions: Check for real-world links and look for word clues. Then examine your possible answers. If one fits, go for it. If nothing that you recognize makes sense, turn your attention to the I-have-no-idea-what-these-words-mean choices. Use the usual guessing rule. If you have eliminated one or more of the five choices, take a stab and move on to another question. If not, leave it blank and forget about it.
In her _____ mood, Suzy Sunshine sat frowning and took pleasure in nothing.
No! No! A thousand times no! Not to mention never, but, nor, neither, and other negative words. These word gremlins pop up frequently in sentence completions, a trap for the unwary. When you see a negative word, give yourself an extra moment to be sure you understand the sentence’s meaning. A Grand Canyon-size difference separates Fiona wanted to polish Nick’s teeth more than anything else in the world and Fiona didn’t want to polish Nick’s teeth more than anything else in the world. Also, be careful of double negatives. The SAT has good grammar, so you won’t find a sentence completion saying something like He didn’t want no vegetables. However, you may find this sentence: Because Mattie didn’t understand Martian, she had no interest in that newspaper. Okay, maybe not that exact sentence, but one with a similar structure. Be sure to decode both parts of the sentence before choosing a completion answer.
Al, weary and depressed by the idea of still another meaningless date with Ella instead of an evening with the love of his life, Marcia, begged off by feigning a headache.
After you uncover the word clues and apply real-life logic, you probably have a pretty good idea what the sentence is trying to say. Now you’re ready to complete it and be on your way to a high score in the sentence-completion section.
1. Read the entire sentence.
This step sounds too obvious to state, but some people actually try to choose an answer after reading only a couple of words. The SAT test makers are ready for these “partial readers.” They take care to provide a choice that looks fine but is the verbal equivalent of the halfway point in a dive into a waterless swimming pool.
2. Check for clue words.
3. Decide what the sentence is trying to say.
You may not be able to get the whole meaning yet, but you should have some idea what target the sentence is aiming at. Don’t look at the answer choices yet.
4. If possible, make up a word or phrase that fits the blank(s).
You can’t always do so, but if you can, you’re nearly home free. Check the answers to see whether any choice matches your idea. If so, take that option and move on. If not, think about whether the answer is likely to be a positive or a negative word. Put a little plus or minus sign in the blank to remind you of the type of answer you’re searching for.
You may be able to rule out some choices right away. For example, if you know that the blank indicates a change in direction for the sentence — a contrast, perhaps — you can dump all the choices that seem similar to the idea expressed in the rest of the sentence. If you’ve placed a plus sign in the blank, dump the negative words.
6. Check the remaining answers for the best match.
Even if you weren’t able to come up with a possible fill-in, the answer choices may give you some ideas. Plug each remaining choice into the sentence until one fits snugly. If more than one answer is possible, go for the one that matches a clue in the sentence. In the SAT sentence completions, you’re always looking for the best answer, not just any old answer that may be okay.

Why learn from authentic content as a beginner?
As a new language student, your brain gradually maps out the symbols, sights, and sounds of the target language you are immersed in—even more than you are consciously aware of. Actively listening to natural speech helps you make these important connections the right way from the start.
Natural speech by itself, however, often has too many new words at once and is spoken too quickly for most beginners to decipher. Instreamia helps you overcome this problem by having you iteratively listen for one word at a time as you repeat each sentence again and again. Over time, this incremental approach helps you understand and use language naturally.
How is learning in a MOOC different from studying alone?
Learning a new language is no easy task, and trying to do it all on your own can be overwhelming. It is no wonder why historically people have learned in classes—learning with an instructor, exchange partners, and student peers can increase motivation, improve learning outcomes, and create a more enjoyable learning environment.
Watch the video on the left to meet your instructor and hear more about Spanish’s unique approach.
What learning activities will we do in the course?
The Adaptive Spanish courses include a wide variety of learning activities to interact with your instructor, peers, language coaches, and authentic content.
Click the graphic to the left to see the specific break down.
Spanish utilizes Instreamia’s patent-pending adaptive learning technology to help you learn more effectively.
While learning from authentic videos, Instreamia will periodically probe your comprehension with simple knowledge checks, such as a fill-in-the-blank listening problem. The accuracy of your response in combination with other information in your learning profile helps Instreamia gauge your overall level, the types of problems you need to work on most, and which vocabulary you need more practice with.
By iteratively adjusting questions to your level, Instreamia intelligently adapts to meet your needs and help you learn faster and more effectively.
You’ll learn through native content, and specific goal-oriented scenarios. You’ll learn primarily from video content, which you’ll interact with as you go, and Instreamia and language coaches will evaluate your progress and direct you to exactly the instruction you need to improve. You’ll get the chance to experience the Instreamia Learner Methodology firsthand, and witness significant improvement in just a few hours.
This class will help you like introducing yourself and get to know others.
You’ll be evaluated each step along the way, and you’ll have the chance to submit an assignment and receive evaluation and feedback from a Spanish speaker.
You’ll become familiar with the technology and be well prepared for Spanish 100.

DC United managed to avert a pre-season debacle by finishing up the Carolina Challenge Cup with a 2-0 win over host Charleston Battery and in the process retains the coveted Coffee Pot Cup.
After an uneventful and scoreless first half, United began to pull away behind a much more lively performance in the second half.
United’s first goal was the result of a lovely play by first year player, Ange N’Silu controlling a long ball and laying it off to Emilio who slotted it perfectly into side netting past the charging Charleston keeper for the 1-0 lead.
United put the game away as rookie Andrew Jacobson buried a long shot that deflected and skipped past the helpless Charleston keeper to pretty much seal the game for DC. Brandon Barklage also deserves a lot of credit for digging out a loose ball and making something out of nothing by slipping the ball across the area for Jacobson to fire away at goal.
With the win, United retains the Coffee Pot Cup, a private Cup between DC United and the host Charleston Battery. United also manages to avoid last place in the tournament with the win as the Battery end the tournament winless. Real Salt Lake won the tournament in the first match of the doubleheader by defeating Toronto FC 2-1.
DC United: Winless or Undefeated?

Sweet, tangy, and zesty; Camouflage is accompanied by a “hidden heat” that comes through moments after the initial sweetness. Camouflage makes a perfect wing sauce and is excellent in ground beef, wild game and other lean meats. If grillin’ is your thing than this is your sauce! Mix it with mayo for a delectable spread on sandwiches, or mix it with BBQ sauce for an ultimate dipping sauce; it’s also EGGcellent on breakfast sandwiches and omeletts. Use it on anything and watch it blend right in!
Hank says...Three words. Grilled. Chicken. Wings. Not necessarily in that order though.

The phenomenon of gender segregation has secured a small but firm foothold in Israeli academia and is expected to expand in scope in coming years after an academic supervisory body approved the spread of the practice, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz has reported.
In recent years, some Israeli colleges have begun to offer courses open either to only male or only female students, in response to demands from ultra-Orthodox Jews for gender-segregated education options.
Israel's ultra-Orthodox community represents some 12 percent of the country's population with an estimated one million members of the faith in 2017 - a number that is only growing.
When this protocol was challenged in Israel's Supreme Court in 2014 and 2017, Israel's Council for Higher Education vouched for the practice, stressing that the scope of gender segregation would be limited to separate classrooms for men and women.
"Implementing gender segregation is possible only in the classrooms, and no segregation will be permitted in public spaces across the campus," the council wrote to the high justices at the time.
But of late, the council has reversed its position and granted approval for Israeli universities to further separate men from women as they see fit.
Establishing not only classes that are gender-segregated but even whole campuses with gender-segregated pathways between them, would be permissible under the council's new set of standards.
Rules restricting use of the campus to either men or women depending on the day of the week but never both at the same time, would also be acceptable according to the new guidelines.
"The position of the Council for Higher Education is that there is no restriction on opening separate campuses for men and women, situated in different geographic areas," the council wrote to the High Court this past week, adding that "there is no restriction on establishing different days for learning".
In its submission to the court, the council noted that the segregation of a college or university's public spaces was contingent upon the consent of the students themselves, who could not be removed against their will.
"Institutions that force segregation onto the commons are disciplined," it wrote.
But Or Kashti, Haaretz's education correspondent, says that this caveat is unlikely to impede the spread of gender segregation even if some students are opposed to the practice.
"Forbidding women from entering an academic institution or from going to the library at certain hours does not need to be explicit. It's enough for a sign that announces separate times, and a request for 'consideration'. Few will dare to act differently," Kashti wrote in a tweet.
In practice a number of Israeli academies have gender-segregated their public spaces in recent years, including at school entrances, and in hallways and libraries.
At the Ono Academic College, women's appearances were policed by a modesty patrol that regulated what jewellery and make-up they would be allowed to wear, and how much of their skin and hair could be uncovered.
Kashti notes that in other facets of Israeli society where gender segregation has been permitted - on the condition that it be consensual - the courts had insisted that extra provisions be put in place to ensure that citizens are aware of their right to object to the practice.
In the case of some public bus lines frequented by ultra-Orthodox passengers, for example, buses must include multi-language signage which make clear that gender segregation is only optional not required, and a squad of inspectors are employed to ensure that no coercion occurs.
With regards to Israeli colleges and universities however, the council does not stipulate a need for any such monitoring mechanism.
Academic institutions are not required to offer the same number of classes for women as for men or vice-versa, for example. Rather classes are opened based on "the demand for particular programmes and their economic viability," the council says.

Experience New Energies, Dimensions, and Shapes!
Crop circles offer a rare opportunity for ordinary people to experience extraordinary energies, shapes, and experiences. To be honest, we don't know exactly why crop circles have these effects. Sure some of them, many of them nowadays are manmade, and maybe a few are of unexplaind origin. But about all the cases of battery, camera, and equipment failure? What is causing that?
Based on my research and experience, it seems as if crop circles are a phenomena beyond the realm of current scientific understanding. No one knows exactly why these agroglyphs are associated with such weird phenomena like balls of light, strange sounds, and UFO sightings. It's like the crop circle is a special space with it's own laws of physics. I've seen more cameras stop working in crop circles that I care to remember. And many other devices too. None of them, cameras, GPS devices, and the like, to my knowledge ever behaved that way anywhere else, my devices included.
Visitors to crop circles can often experience these things for themselves. You just walk inside one of these formations, and strange things start happening. A few years I was with an electrical engineer from the University of Oregon, Eugene. He had on a an electronic compass built into his wrist watch. As we walked into a rather large formation on the Ridgeway, in Wiltshire, U.K. something odd happened.
It is this type of experience which shows the crop circle visitor thay they have entered an agricultural "twilight zone." Something is amiss, but you don't know exactly what it is. And that experience opens you to new possibilities and new ideas.
I've never seen things as I strange as those in crop circles, year after year. I still don't know what the causes of this weirdness are, but that isn't the most important thing. The crop circle shows you that don't know everything about the world that you thought you did, and that is reason enough to visit them.

We first met Elle writer Leah Melby Clinton when she turned us into the living embodiment of the blushing emoji with her piece about our black skinny jeans. Leah’s a true-blue denim devotee (one of us, in other words), so as we got to work on our latest version of our Denim Report (in stores and right here), we wanted to get her take on jeans and why they have such a hold on our collective hearts. We won’t say much more other than…yeah, she gets it.
By the time you hit adulthood, you can probably count the amount of good friends you have on both hands. I tuck down one finger for my sister, three for my best college girlfriends, another for my work-wife and…one for a pair of perfect ankle-crop, a-single-hole-in-one-knee pair of skinny jeans. Personifying material things isn’t something everyone does (it’s a bit inevitable that I’m friendly with my clothes, really: I’m a fashion writer and editor), but if you look in your own closet or dresser drawers, I’d venture to say your eyes will land on something that brings up memories and makes you smile, all warm inside, in almost the exact same way you would if your best college friend surprised you at your front door.
My high-ranking jeans didn’t just appear out of the blue, saddled with a fuzzy origin story I can’t fully remember. If I close my eyes, I can still picture the friend I was with (the curly-haired girl referred to with finger #2 in the first paragraph) and where we were (the townhouse-shaped Madewell store in Soho). I remember the friendly person who helped pull our sizes and the way we both ended up buying a pair.
From then on, it’s been a feelings-filled thing that’s difficult to term anything other than a friendship. Like my living-and-breathing BFFs, those jeans can hang casually or somewhere more formal. They’ve never made me feel bad about myself and have rolled with whatever I’ve thrown at them (consider: my jeans have hung in there when I’ve lopped the ends off for a raw-hem look, and my best friends have still talked to me after more than one tear-laced meltdown). In a closet packed to the ceiling with denim, they—my jeans, not the girlfriends—bring back more memories than any of the other pairs stacked alongside them. I’m here to confirm that nothing shouts out “I love my clothes way too much” than physically stroking them, reminiscing about all the memories you both shared. Somewhere in the fibers of those skinnies, engrained like smoke that seeps in, is the same European air I breathed on my honeymoon. There’s the sweet magnolia blossom scent from my mother’s front yard. There’s even a little bit of fairy dust left from when I interviewed that celebrity and she gave me a hug goodbye. Jeans as generic noun are fantastic, but a specific pair of jeans who’ve lived so much of life with you? Those are friends.
