Gillingham 1 - 2 Cardiff City
LEE BULLOCK ensured Cardiff City's play-off flame keeps on flickering and took another step towards making his stay at Ninian Park a permanent one.
The midfielder, on loan from Third Division strugglers York until the end of the season, headed City's late winner at Gillingham on Saturday just five minutes after coming off the bench to replace John Robinson.
Lennie Lawrence is looking to see if the Teesider can make the grade in the First Division before paying York the #75,000 fee they want for the 22-year-old.
And Bullock - who netted on his City debut last month in the home defeat against Reading - has given the Bluebirds manager something more to think about with his second goal in five outings.
"It would be a dream, an absolutely dream, if I could earn a contract with Cardiff," said the man from Stockton after this 2-1 victory in windy Gillingham.
"I love it at Cardiff. It's a great club and I'm trying my hardest to win a contract.
"I'm getting my head down in training and in the matches I'm involved with."
He went on, "I'm over the moon to be at Cardiff. I got used to losing at York but here it's a winning mentality.
"Getting goals from midfield is what I'm all about. We've got Robert Earnshaw who doesn't seem to stop scoring but it's a bonus if other players in the side can chip in with a few as well.
"I had a bad first touch after I came on. I got tackled and Gillingham went down the other end and nearly scored.
"But thankfully I made up for that a few minutes later by getting our winner."
He added, "When I came to Cardiff I was hoping I would get some reserve games and maybe make the bench a couple of times.
"But because key players are injured I've been given my chance earlier than expected. I just hope the gaffer thinks I've taken it."
Bullock's 85th-minute header during a dramatic finale inside the Priestfield Stadium could turn out to be one of the most important goals in City's roller-coaster season.
Not only did it give the Welsh club their first win in this corner of Kent since February 1983, it cut the gap that separates City and the top six from eight points to five.
A win against FA Cup finalists Millwall at the New Den on Wednesday and Lawrence' s men will go into Saturday's home fixture with Crystal Palace just two points adrift of the play-off pack.
"Millwall is a big game for us now. They're flying so it's a massive fixture," added Bullock.
"But they will have played in an FA Cup semi-final a few days before they play us so fingers crossed that will work to our advantage."
Apart from thanking Bullock, the City players should also raise a glass to Gillingham midfielder Alan Pouton.
The former Grimsby man played an integral part in the Bluebirds' triumph - missing a penalty which was awarded just a minute after Bullock had restored City's lead.
Suffolk referee Mike Thorpe pointed to the spot after Tony Vidmar brought down striker Gary Wales.
Pouton - who, ironically, played alongside Bullock at York - had a great opportunity to rescue a point for the relegation-haunted Gills but drilled his spot-kick wide of the target.
"I thought we had blown it when the referee gave them a penalty right after I scored," admitted Bullock.
"After what happened in the Reading match I thought, 'Oh no, not again'."
Bullock looked to have secured a point for the Bluebirds when he made it 2-2 against the Royals only for Steve Coppell's side to snatch a winner right at the end.
"When Pouton put his penalty wide you could see what that meant to us by the way we reacted," he continued.
"That miss has given us a great chance of carrying on our push for the play-offs.
"I know 'Pouts' because he was at York with me and I've never seen him take a penalty before.
"But he's done me a favour today by putting his penalty wide!"
It was indeed an afternoon of missed penalties. City's Robert Earnshaw saw Steve Banks stop his spot-kick on 18 minutes.
But Banks, at fault for both goals, soon went from hero to villain.
With the interval 10 minutes away the goalkeeper crazily sprinted out of the area to clear Gareth Whalley's pass but lost his race with City winger Paul Parry whose cross was headed into the unguarded net by Earnshaw.
City's second was almost an action replay. After failing to deal with Chris Barker's cross he inexplicably left his six-yard box to try and clear.
But this time he watched Richard Langley whip in an inch-perfect ball for Bullock to head into the empty net.
City's winner came against the run of play. Andy Hessenthaler's side were the better team in the final 45 minutes and deserved at least a point from this contest.
The Gills put the visitors under severe pressure early in the second half and were rewarded with an equaliser on the hour, Chris Hope heading Nicky Southall's corner home from point-blank range.
"They were putting us under pressure in the second half. They've got a lot of big lads in their team and they were pumping high balls into our box and winning corners," said City's match-winner.
"But nine times out of 10 we dealt with what they had to offer. We've managed to win three league games in a row which is pleasing.
"The day before the game the gaffer said we hadn't managed to win three in a row this season and that we should go out and do it against Gillingham. We managed to do that."
So can City do it? The game to go...
April 7: MILLWALL (a) Dennis Wise's men might be distracted after winning a place in the FA Cup final.
VERDICT: Tough, but suddenly winnable
Apr 10: CRYSTAL PALACE (h) Palace have improved under Iain Dowie, but have lost their last three on the road.
VERDICT: Three City points
Apr 13: WIGAN (a) Tough to beat at the JJB Stadium and also gunning for the play-offs.
VERDICT: Probable defeat
Apr 17: BURNLEY (h) The Clarets are struggling near the bottom and have shipped 40 goals on their travels.
VERDICT: Three-point banker
Apr 24: PRESTON (a) One win in their last seven has seen Craig Brown's men fall out of the play-off race.
VERDICT: Probable draw
May 1: WIMBLEDON (h) The bottom club have lost 15 on their travels and will be relegated by the time they come to Cardiff.
VERDICT: Another three points
May 9: IPSWICH (a) They outclassed City at Ninian Park and are also hoping to book a play-off spot.
VERDICT: Likely Ipswich win

NRMA Insurance Research Finds Drivers Are Losing Their Cool At School
(PRWEB) April 24, 2010
Car Insurance provider, NRMA Insurance is urging all NSW drivers to keep their cool when school goes back this week, after research reveals that almost 40 per cent of drivers are getting stressed when dropping off or collecting their children from school*.
The insurer also found that one in four drivers admitted to ignoring parking signs or rules when dropping off or picking up kids from school.
NRMA Car Insurance spokesperson Emily Gatt said we encourage all drivers to stay calm and follow the rules when in school drop-off zones.
We understand that everyone leads busy lives, which often means we can run late, however drivers should still make childrens safety a priority and be alert to the increased activity around schools.
Dropping children at school can be a stressful experience – there is often traffic congestion which can lead to drivers being distracted and frustrated.
Our research also showed us that 65 per cent of people get stressed about the behaviour of other parents and drivers in school drop-off zones.
More and more parents and carers drive kids to and from school rather than the child walking so there are a number of cars in the drop-off zones.
So we urge all drivers to follow the rules and keep their stress levels down when doing the school run for the safety of the children and their own benefit, Ms Gatt said.
[NRMA Car Insurance] http://www.nrma.com.au/car-insurance/index.shtmloffers some tips to drivers:
Try and leave home early to avoid the peak school drop-off and collection time;
Consider car pooling with other drivers to avoid doing the school run five days a week;
If you have the time, perhaps park away from the school and walk the child;
If youre caught in traffic remember to take a deep breath, sit back and enjoy the time getting frustrated can affect your ability to concentrate on the road.

Monterey College of Law — First Law School in US to go iPad
Seaside, CA (PRWEB) August 25, 2010
Monterey College of Law, a California accredited law school located in Seaside, California is the first law school in the US to adopt the iPad as an integral part of the law school curriculum. Law students at Monterey College of Law returned from summer break to the exciting news that they are part of a unique pilot program that will provide iPads to each law student at the school. Through an innovative program developed by the law school with BAR BRI, the countrys largest bar exam review company, each MCL law student receives an iPad when they enroll in the BAR BRI supplemental curriculum program that the students use while attending school and in preparation for the California Bar Exam.
Law schools are rarely found close to the leading edge of technology, said Mitchel Winick, President and Dean of the law school. However, it is clear to me that combining this technology with interactive, portable, timely content and harnessing the energy of on-line social networking provides a number of immediate educational opportunities. This is particularly true for an evening law school like MCL that has a traditional classroom-based legal education program in which many students are balancing a full work and family schedule while attending law school.
Many of our law students work the equivalent of three jobs, said Wendy LaRiviere, Dean of Admissions. Between law school, work, and family, it is a constant challenge for them to set aside enough time during the week to study. Winick believes that the iPad will provide time-challenged students an easy way to add 30 to 45 minutes of studying each day . . . during a lunch break, waiting in the car-pool line, or even getting their oil changed. The result will be an additional 3 to 5 hours per week of valuable study time. It is a compelling argument because it has the potential to add 200 to 250 hours of study time per year and possibly as much as 600 to 700 additional hours over the course of the law degree program. If our students use this found time to do additional reading and incorporate a more extensive use of their class notes, study guides, and practice exams . . . we expect to see a positive result in law school performance and continued improvement in the bar pass rates of our graduates, said Winick.
Chris Marohn, a third-year MCL law student who is the immediate-past President of the Student Bar Association noted that excited Facebook posts about the iPad program were circulating through the rest of the student body before the Dean finished announcing the new program to the first-year class. There was a lot of excitement among my classmates, particularly once Dean Winick started handing out iPads," said Marohn. Winick noted that 100% of the entering first-year students and approximately 70% of the upper level students enrolled in the new program by the end of the first week of law school. He expects that most of the remaining students will enroll over the next few weeks as students begin experimenting with new ways to study using the iPads. It is only a matter of time before virtual study groups are formed to support each of the core law school classes.
The second step of the program is to provide access to iPads for MCL law faculty members who are interested in integrating the iPad into their regular course materials and classroom presentations. Historically, law faculty members are known to be very traditional in their approach to teaching. In some law schools, classes have been taught the same way, with very few changes, for more than 100 years said Winick. The objective of the MCL faculty pilot program will be to develop examples of using iPad technology to enhance and expand traditional legal education without diminishing any of the core academic values, said Stephen Wagner, law professor and President of the faculty senate. The law school will pilot-test the faculty program during the current academic year and anticipates expanding the program to include all interested faculty members next year.
Being the first law school out of approximately 220 accredited law schools in the US to broadly adopt the iPad is a bold step. However it is not the only innovative program announced this year at MCL. In April, the law school celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day by hosting a ribbon-cutting of its new Community Justice Center, a LEED Platinum registered project. LEED Platinum is the highest green-building standard for sustainable design and construction. According to the US Green Building Council, MCL is only the third law school in the US to open a LEED Platinum facility. The new center is home to a courtroom, regional mediation center, and a new community legal clinic that will be staffed by MCL law students. We are fortunate to live, study, and work in one of the most beautiful and ecologically unique regions of the country, said Winick. We not only teach about environmental rights and responsibilities in the law school classroom . . . through our LEED Platinum facility we are providing a tangible example of the importance of sustainability and stewardship of our precious environmental resources.
BikeWalkKC has Taught Above 1000 Young children in the Kansas City Region how to Safely Walk and Bike to School: With Your Assist, BikeWalkKC can Teach 1000 a lot more!
Kansas City, Missouri (PRWEB) October 31, 2011
The Kansas City area has a generation of young children who are lost without having the automobile. They are driven to school in the back of cars and are dangerously illiterate when it comes to targeted traffic signals, crosswalks and navigating intersections. School districts are pulling bus applications due to lack of funding and families are stretched to the limit for the duration of these difficult financial instances. Young children need to go to school, and it is portion of BikeWalkKC's mission to aid the children in the Kansas City Region walk and bike safely to school.
BikeWalkKC's nationally recognized employees is functioning with local schools and households to repair this predicament.

This year BikeWalkKC's education system has reached above a thousand individuals across the metro location. BikeWalkKC teaches young children about helmet safety, rules of the road, how to remain visible and bike upkeep. The tools kids learn in bike class also help youngsters in life. Young children learn advocacy, patience and the value of teamwork. In addition to operating directly with young children, BikeWalkKC teaches schools and other nonprofit groups about "walking school busses", bike and site visitors parking lot safety, and how to do extensive walking and biking neighborhood assessments.
BikeWalkKC's classes have gone to the Whatsoever Community Center in Old Northeast, Lees Summit summer day camp, Overland Park Farmers Market, the KC North Community Center, and in many other communities about the region. Walking to School positive aspects children, parents, schools and neighborhoods alike. Walking to school encourages activity before school and prepares children for their day. Walking to school also teaches youngsters how to navigate streets and site visitors. Walking and biking to school is very good for the environment around schools simply because it cuts down on the air pollution around schools from the vehicle pool lines and it creates a sense of community about neighborhoods when young children are walking and biking to school.

Separating Predictive Genetic Testing from Snake Oil: Regulation, Liabilities, and Lost Opportunities
This article explores the extent to which completion of maps of the human genome, coupled with the introduction of technology that will accelerate the identification of gene and protein function, have introduced immeasurable potential to advance life science and health care through genetic profiling. In light of definitional uncertainly, the regulatory and legal environment surrounding predictive genetic testing threatens to impede clinical utilization of genetic profiling technologies that could significantly improve human health. Especially given that genetic testing technologies have been stigmatized in the public and medical community, they must enter the marketplace with a regulatory framework that assures safety, efficacy, and market responsibility.

Browne Jacobson LLP's 'attentive' team handles LMA syndicated facilities and international transactions in healthcare, social housing and residential property sectors, among other matters. Emma Hinton, who splits her time between Nottingham and Birmingham, led a team advising Clydesdale Bank on providing a £10.5m revolving credit facility – based on a bilateralised LMA agreement – to Horizon Care & Education. Together with Paul Ray, who is 'exceptionally helpful in complex situations', Hinton assisted Local Space Housing Association with its £250m funding needed to refinance existing facilities and to acquire 800 new homes. Ray also acted for the Fogarty Group on raising £9.9m of funding from Close Brothers and assisted RBS with the provision of an £8.2m loan for the acquisition of three hotels to Fico Corporation and Singha Estate. Shaun McCabe rejoined the team from Shoosmiths LLP. HSBC, Business Growth Fund and HCAI are also clients.
Freeths LLP's group includes acquisition finance specialist John Heaphy, property finance expert Chris Freeston, and Phil Baigent, who specialises in the healthcare sector transactions. The firm is also known for project finance as well as handling distressed finance transactions. It acts predominantly for borrowers but also receives instructions from major banks. Work highlights have included acting for a fund manager on the eight-figure investment in a real estate portfolio of over 50 properties and pursuing a mezzanine loan to fund a major development project.
Gateley Plc's team utilises a 'great deal of industry knowledge and relevant experience' to deliver 'consistently high-quality' advice to lenders, developers and investors. Banking head Anna Mayfield's 'wealth of experience in the healthcare sector' is combined with a 'great ability to assess the deal and protect the client's position'. The group is strong on the private equity and acquisition finance side, and also has an extensive property finance practice led by Andy Matthews. Mayfield advised National Westminster Bank on the funding of retail development projects in the UK and assisted Lloyds Bank with lending facilities provided to a charity. Other highlights included handling the amendment of a senior facilities agreement for a syndicate of banks and advising a bank on a base term loan provided for a management buyout. Svenska Handelsbanken, HSBC, Allied Irish Bank, Santander Group and Leumi ABL are also clients.
Geldards LLP's group has an 'extensive professional and sector knowledge' as well as a 'commercial approach'. It assists local authorities with public sector financing and also acts for lenders in a range of matters. 'Thorough, commercial and proactive' practice head Jenny Chatten led a team advising Russell Building Products on new priority arrangements between new and continuing lenders as part of the refinancing of a revolving credit facility, and assisting Coleman Investments with the £3m refinancing of a Santander facility. David Watson advised HSBC on a £2m loan for the refinancing of Downtown Garden Centre, which involved the bank taking charge of Oldrids & Co. The team also advised Santander on the provision of a £7.5m term loan for the refinancing of Fort Halstead Estates and Marlborough Estates; assisted JJH Enterprises with a six-figure loan to finance the purchase of Microsoft licenses; and secured a loan from ICSA Development Finance for Holmewood Homes.
Hewitsons' 'responsive' and 'experienced' team is led by the 'highly regarded, proactive and knowledgeable' Neil Harpham. The workload spans the banking and finance spectrum but the firm is particularly recommended for matters with a commercial property angle. The group is appointed to panels of Santander, Lloyds Bank, Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, Svenska Handelsbanken and Home & Communities Agency. Perrys Group is also a client.
Nelsons Solicitors Limited acts for lenders and borrowers in a range of transactions including refinancings, syndicated and bilateral financing, and property funding. On the lender side, the client base includes RBS, Bank of Ireland, Nottingham Building Society, Bradgate Business Finance, Yorkshire Bank and Cambridge & Counties Bank; Simon Trees advised the latter on the appointment of a fixed-charge receiver. On the borrower side, David Kaplan assisted PKF Cooper Parry with its funding arrangements with National Westminster Bank pertaining to the company's merger with Clement Keys. Highlights also included refinancing an eight-figure loan facility for a longstanding corporate client and handling assignment and novation of loans for the trustees of an international trust. Michael Lodge is also recommended.
'Ultimately there are as many barriers as you put up yourself, you can put up being female and black as an excuse or use it as a weapon of defiance.'

Let me answer that question for you. YES!… and here's why:
Disney Vacation Club
If you're not sure what it is, Disney Vacation Club, or DVC as it is often called, is Disney's version of timeshare ownership, except they do it a little bit differently than the traditional timeshares like the one my parents bought into when I was a kid. For a more thorough look at DVC, read our Disney Vacation Club Overview
Is it Worth It?
Now, when I first sat down to write this post, I had this plan to stay completely neutral and list all the pros and cons I could find. The real question I kept coming back to was: Are you going to take Disney vacations every year or every couple of years? Because if you were, then DVC makes sense. If not… then it doesn't.
So the real question is: Are Disney Vacations worth it?
Why DVC is Worth it
1. Savings. We get to stay in Deluxe Resorts for the price of a Moderate. Sometimes it's on par with value pricing. When all is said and done after financing and maintenance fees, we're coming out WAY ahead.
2. Flexibility. We've taken multiple short trips some years, and longer trips in others. Before DVC, we were locked into the same old week-long vacation habit.
3. Resort Variety. We've been able to try 8 different DVC resorts so far. Each resort has its own unique theme and experiences. We've even done some split stays to enjoy the best of two different resorts on the same trip. With two beach resorts, we've also been able to change things up with non-park vacations that still have that Disney touch.
4. No Pressure. Knowing we'll be back again and again makes it so much easier to relax and enjoy ourselves. We can really take advantage of all the amazing resorts have to offer. No more commando vacations spending every waking moment in the parks!
5. Perks. Discounts on shopping, dining and experiences are welcome benefits. The biggest for us are the discounts on Annual Passes and Tables In Wonderland Membership. To this day, one of our most memorable Disney experiences was the free Merry Member Mixer.
In hindsight, I wish we had bought more points. But we'll be adding to our membership in the next couple of years.
Love Disney vacations? You should look into DVC. If the price is what's holding you back, consider a resale purchase.

Man, January went by quickly. Now, I just hope the rest of the horrid winter follows suit...ugh. This month, I continued my goal of using lots of products instead of letting them pile up untouched. However, there are a few things I kept coming back to! Here are the things I was really loving in January.
Pixi Magic Tink Tint - This is a great product. It goes on very sheer, but adjusts itself to a custom shade determined by your skin's PH! On me, it turns into a pretty magenta. It's a little bit glossy and super moisturizing...my favorite product like this I've tried! Makes a great daily lip tint, super easy to wear.
Too Faced sparkle liquid liner - This is kind of sheer, with black and silver glitters. I like to paint it over regular liquid liner to add a little sparkle. On its own, it doesn't provide enough definition for me, but I love it for layering!
Sprout makeup remover - Odd inclusion, I know. But this is a blend of olive, sweet almond, and jojoba oils and nothing more. It removes my makeup easily, and my favorite part is that you can just massage what's left after removing into your skin for extra moisturization. Love.
theBalm Tall, Dark, and Handsome mascara - This has become my HG mascara...it's lengthening and gives some volume without being too dramatic for daily use.
Color Tattoo in Too Cool - I use this almost every day as an eyeshadow base. With it, my colors are brighter and even cheapo shadows last all day. It's also nice for an inner corner highlight, has a bit of shimmer to it and goes on sheer.
Starlooks mascara guard - This weird gadget is awesome...I use it when applying my mascara and I never smudge mascara on my eyeshadow! Nothing more frustrating than having your shadow perfectly applied and blended, and then smearing mascara on it and ruining everything. It's something I never would have thought to buy, but have found endlessly useful.
Cargo eyeshadow quad in Barcelona - I have five quads from Cargo, and I love all of them...but I am loving this one the most, lately! Cargo shadows are really nice - pigmented and easy to work with. The packaging is pretty and sturdy and the shadows themselves are huge! This one is purples, blue, and green - my most loved and used colors. These shadows last all day on me, no problem.
That's it for my January favorites. What products have you been loving this winter?

Little Shop of Goodies!
Happy Friday!!
Yesterday I picked up some beautiful fluroescent pink and cornflower blue risograph Alphabet posters I designed- printed by the awesome Colour Code Print studio here in Toronto. Today I set up virtual shop! Check them out– the colours are so vibrant. See if you can figure out what I chose for each letter! There's only a couple of goodies available right now, but there will be more soon– stay tuned!
april showers
I have sent off my booth fabric, my illustration portfolio and my lookbook for printing– all to bring to Surtex in May. Phew!! So today I celebrated and made a new pattern. I've been working on this one for a while, in my spare time, and I'm so happy with it I thought I would share a sneak peek! It's very timely- April has been fully bringing the showers (including hail!) for the past few days. I have to remind myself of the May flowers at the other end of these dreary, cold, no-fun-for-biking days. Drawing this pattern also helped offset the grey outside. Plus there's totally some green out there FINALLY, and my daffodils even bloomed so things are definitely looking up!!
La La Land
I've been working on some patterns in series and I thought I would share a bit! This is from a new collection I've been working on called La La Land. La La Land is a place where I spend a fair bit of my time to be honest, and I really like it there. As you can see, it's a colourful, whimsical place. I've been hanging out in La La Land doing a lot of drawing and painting and dreaming lately. I think La La Land would be pretty sweet all over a kids room, or a nursery- definitely some velvet and soft corduroy would be ideal here in La La Land. I see curtains, pillows, bed linens, lampshades, wallpaper and even some cozy jammies– the perfect setting for imagining, playing and dreaming sweet dreams!
Studio Peek
Today I thought I'd share a little peek into my work space. I decided it was time to refresh the wall in front of my work table – I wanted to have a look at some of the ink paintings I've been working on, and also my new postcards from Sou Sou of artwork by Katsuji Wakisaka. I also put up my new little marimekko gift cards- I love how they're printed on the front and back with bright and graphic images. The envelopes were really nice too- patterned in bold colours on the inside, white on the outside. The fabulous pencil sketch of a moose is by my 7 yr old, as is the lily pad lake drawing beside it- both inspired by our trip to Algonquin (we saw a moose!) I also took a pic of my messy work table… sigh.
I'm loving having a set up for painting- I just skiddle up here whenever I have a moment and pick up a paintbrush- it's working for me. However the whole concept of cleaning up and organazizing is not really happening at the moment.. one day! Check out my amazing work apron… I got it years ago at a thrift shop- it's a screen printed inuit image by Nanogak! I have held onto it for all these years and kept it so pristine, but now I think– I should give it some life! And you know if it gets a little paint on it, c'est la vie. Also check out my new mug… LOVE this unikko colorway from this summer. Mmm tea. Now back to work!
What Colour Means to Me
Hello! I'm back from a lovely time in the wilds of Algonquin park- more on this later. While I was away I got word that my piece on COLOUR and what it means to me was chosen for the current issue of Uppercase Magazine, #22. And what an issue it looks to be- I cant wait to get my copy in the mail!! There's some great preview tidbits here including a video with lots of tantalizing and colorful pictures. My piece along with my photo of bright and fuzzy yarns is in the top right corner of the above spread… pretty nifty! This magazine is so great- it's really hefty and jam-packed with awesome art, craft, and design goodness. I am a subscriber, and I recommend it to all!!!!
Up With Creativity!
I am getting very excited !!
Eight weeks ago I signed up for Surtex, and now it's almost here… WOW! These last few days I have been seeing lots of incredible work out there on pinterest, Facebook and in the blogosphere- flyers with beautiful patterns, illustrations and designs on display announcing all the talent who'll be at Surtex this year (including mine over at print and pattern and the uppercase magazine blog how exciting!) I'm really looking forward to meeting these bold and creative peeps- as a relative newbie to this scene I am kind of in awe of their professionalism and mad design skillz.
I was also very thrilled to have my PATCH project orientation yesterday. There I met an inspiring group of artists, working in such a diverse range of media and with really varied backgrounds– it was an honour to be a part of such a fantastic gathering!! I'm looking forward to seeing this project unfold and transform our city through all the amazing public art we will create!!
Hooray for art and creativity!
Press Kits and Business Cards
Getting ready for Surtex is really fun. I love working on all the accoutrements of the business- postcards, business cards and now, for the first time, press kits. In all my years of running a design business, I never really got the hang of press kits. I think I made some years ago for the DUDE show (downtown urban design event)- a rockin craft and design show I used to organize with my pals Kristin and Kaz) but it has been a long time. The press kit was on my list of Fearless Things to Do Fearlessly, so I set about making them. I decided to make something that I would love to have – something useful and lovely. The result: a flowery folder, with postcard samples of my work, plus some info, with lots of room for other stuff. There's always lots to collect, mostly business cards and postcards, so hopefully this will come in very handy for the press peeps who wander through.
My business cards arrived yesterday and I am very pleased with them! Moo once again delivers the goods. Luxe cards with a red stripe on the side, these puppies are SOLID, and feel quite gorgeous. I chose five of my new patterns to adorn them, and they all look great. Can't wait to give all this stuff away!!! Twelve sleeps to kickoff….

Headlines were made by the latest results of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. Yet nobody should have been surprised, since our students have been doing badly on international tests for decades.
American 12th-graders fell below the international average in general mathematics and general science. In advanced mathematics, our students were tied for last place and in physics they had sole possession of last place.
Students from Asian nations, who usually do very well on such tests, did not take part in these particular tests. So American students are trailing the pack among the also-rans.
While the American educational system is falling behind academically, it is leading the world in excuses. One of these excuses is that more of our students reach the 12th grade, so that we are comparing our average with other countries' elites.
While that may be true for some countries, there are other countries that have as high a percentage of their students finish secondary school as we do - and some have a higher percentage completing secondary education. Both kinds of countries beat out our students.
Another excuse is that our population has so many disadvantaged minorities that this drags down the average. But when you compare our very top students with the top students from other countries, ours still get clobbered.
U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley has responded to the sad results from these international tests by calling them "unacceptable."Nonsense! Such dismal results have been accepted for years and will be accepted for years to come, so long as the National Education Association continues to contribute millions of dollars to political campaigns.
From the standpoint of the NEA, the American public schools are not a failure but a big great success. These schools provide NEA members with jobs where they have iron-clad tenure, automatic raises, and no accountability for bad performances by their students or themselves.

Ocean Tracking Project Garners Data on
by Staff
A first-ever sampling of juvenile salmon survival during the initial leg of their ocean journey would indicate they do not suffer negative after-effects from their journey down through the Columbia-Snake river hydro projects, according to a research paper published in the peer-reviewed Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences.
"It is not correct to conclude that the dams currently play no role in affecting survival, simply that any contributory effect appears to be small," the paper concludes.
Data collected in 2006 as part of the long-term study showed that yearling hatchery spring chinook that traveled through eight dams survived as well to southeast Washington's Willapa Bay as did young fish that only had to hurdle four dams.
The paper, "Experimental measurement of hydrosystem-induced delayed mortality in juvenile Snake River spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) using a large-scale acoustic array," was produced by Erin L. Rechisky, David W. Welch, Aswea D. Porter, Melinda C. Jacobs and Adrian Ladouceur.
The research paper can be found here.
Lead author Erin Rechisky is doctoral candidate at the Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia. Welch is president of Kintama Research, the chief architect of the design for the current "POST" array and principal investigator on the research program reported in the paper. Porter, Jacobs, and Ladouceur were all Kintama Research employees at the time of the study.
POST, the Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking project, is a tool for tracking the movements of marine animals along the west coast of North America using acoustic transmitters implanted in a variety of species and a series of receivers in lines across the continental shelf.
The telemetry receiver arrays implemented and operated by Kintama that were used in this study are part of Kintama's contribution to the POST array and through POST to the Census of Marine Life. Kintama's contribution to the west coast POST array currently spans more then 2,500 kilometers of the Pacific Northwest, from the Snake River to southeast Alaska.
The paper says that "survival from out-migration until adult return is substantially lower for wild and hatchery Snake River spring chinook salmon relative to some mainstem Columbia River populations" so it has been hypothesized that the cause is cumulative stress from dam passage. To test the theory, the authors say, survival data must be measured downstream of the hydrosystem and in the ocean. Until recently, the technology was not available to collect that data.
As exciting as the results themselves is the fact that, with new technology, "we can actually measure survival in the ocean," Rechisky said.
"Our study is the first to estimate survival in the coastal ocean and demonstrates the utility of a large-scale array in testing previously intractable hypothese," the paper says.
For the study, 800 young spring chinook were outfitted with acoustic and PIT tags. Half of the fish were produced at Dworshak National Fish Hatchery in the Clearwater River drainage in central Idaho and half were produced at the Cle Elum supplementation and Research Facility on the Yakima River, a tributary to the Columbia River. The Clearwater feeds into the Snake River and then the Columbia.
The Snake River fish pass through four lower Snake River dams and four lower Columbia River dams on the way to the Pacific Ocean. The Yakima salmon only have to negotiate the lower Columbia River dams.
Willapa Bay is located on the south Washington coast north of the Columbia's mouth. The first ocean detection line there is about five days swim (for the juvenile salmon), or 274 kilometers from the lowest dam in the Columbia system, Bonneville.
"There was no detectable difference in survivorship from release to Willapa Bay between populations, and the mean time for smolts to reach this line after passing Bonneville dam was five days for both," the paper says. "Therefore, delayed mortality was not evident after several days in the coastal ocean at a point located 274 km beyond the hydrosystem." The researchers estimated that 29 percent of the tagged Snake River fish and 28 percent of the Yakima fish survived to Willapa Bay.
The 2006 data indicates that 40 percent of the Snake River releases and 36 percent of the Yakima fish survived from their release to a point just below Bonneville Dam.
"Our results imply that if delayed mortality causes the disparity in adult return rates of hatchery-origin Snake River spring chinook salmon, it is at a time and place more distant from the Columbia River; however it is plausible that delayed mortality may operate on smaller fish that were not tested here." The study employed fish that were 140 millimeters long or longer.

In the final frustrating game of Georgia Tech's season, even the one thing that was working for the Yellow Jackets didn't work quite well enough.
With Georgia defenders flowing with the pre-snap motion of Tech's A-backs and also committing extra help to stop the B-back dive, the Bulldogs were vulnerable to counter plays against the expected direction of the play. The Jackets ran a counter off a fake toss at least six times, often with considerable success.
On the play, one A-back began his standard tail motion looping behind the quarterback. At the snap, quarterback Justin Thomas faked a toss to the motioning A-back before spinning and handing off to the opposite A-back running the other way.
It was effective because it sent an A-back speeding with the ball in the opposite direction of the Georgia defense, which was also jumping a linebacker into the gap where the Bulldogs expected a B-back dive on a triple-option play, but it also meant he couldn't chase down the A-back with the ball. Linebackers and safeties were also cheating in the same direction as the motioning A-back, leaving the backside side of the field more open.
Tech's first two offensive plays of the game were identical counters off the fake toss, one to the left and the next to the right, and A-backs Clinton Lynch and Isiah Willis picked up 19 and 11 yards, respectively.
Coach Paul Johnson was prepared for it after the Jackets' success last year in Athens (399 rushing yards).
"The B-backs gashed 'em last year so bad, I knew they'd do something," Johnson said. "They would pop in a linebacker so they were losing the linebacker popping. The guy was getting washed down."
Given the inconsistency of the offense, the Jackets could have well used a 40- or 50-yard play, or particularly a long touchdown, from the counter to ease the pressure of having to repeatedly churn our first downs. But it didn't happen.
The counter off the fake toss has the potential to be a home-run play – Orwin Smith's 95-yard touchdown run against Kansas in 2011 and Charles Perkins' 63-yard run against Georgia Southern last season were off that fake-toss counter, for example. Tech's longest gain of the day on any play was a 28-yard run by Lynch, on a counter option.
"It was kind of a jailbreak out there (on the fake-toss counter)," Johnson said. "But our two guys pulling, I don't know if they ever blocked anybody."
Johnson said that on one counter, two blockers led an A-back on one Georgia defender, "and their kid made a play."
It was emblematic of Tech's offensive struggles against the Bulldogs.
"We can't seem to finish plays on offense," he said. "We get in the clear, one block away or one whatever. I think three times I counted we drove down to the 30-yard line and we had guys with missed assignments, forget to go in motion – tail motion to catch the pitch – (or) block the read key on the option. I wish I could explain it. I guess it's being young."
More fumbles
The same reasoning might explain Tech's final fumble numbers. Last year, Tech averaged one fumble for every 53.3 offensive plays or returns (special teams or defense). This season, the number was a fumble for every 23.2 offensive plays or returns. That's a pretty staggering backslide, one that players or coaches seemed unable to stop. The rate, while the poorest for one season in Johnson's tenure, is closer to Tech's fumble rates in Johnson's tenure than the 2014 average.
For the sake of comparison, the rate was 49.3 in Johnson's last year at Navy. This season, Navy is at 59.4 and, not surprisingly, 9-2.
Fumbles were costly again Saturday. On the opening drive of the second half, the Jackets appeared to have picked up a third-and-13 with a catch by Ricky Jeune from Thomas. Further, the catch had moved Tech into field-goal range for kicker Harrison Butker. But Jeune was stripped and Tech lost the ball.
Tech had two other fumbles. One preceded Jeune's fumble – on a handoff on another fake toss counter to Lynn Griffin that killed the play and put Tech in second-and-11 – and the other was on Tech's touchdown drive. If memory serves, it was a botched center-quarterback exchange that resulted in a two-yard loss and put the Jackets in position to try to convert the third-and-7 that ended with the debatable unsportsmanlike conduct penalty call against Georgia.
Ball security isn't merely holding onto the ball more tightly, although that's not a small part of it. It includes exchanging the ball safely, backs being in the right spot to accept it, the line giving the quarterback and backs enough space to handle the ball without interference from the defense and the quarterback making good decisions on whom to give the ball to and when.
It's not unreasonable to think that the maturation of players like Jeune and B-back Marcus Marshall will improve the Jackets' fumbling issues. But a critical look at how the fumbles happened and how they can be avoided going forward has to be on the to-do list.
Had Tech managed to avoid both turnovers Saturday – hardly an outrageous proposition, as neither turnover was the result of a superior play by Georgia – the Jackets would have been in position for, at the least, two field-goal tries by Harrison Butker. In a 13-7 game, six points probably could have come in handy.

Penalty on Ganus
Had Tech somehow stolen the game from Georgia on its final possession, the visitors from Athens would have been quite reasonably perturbed at the impact of the unsportsmanlike penalty called on linebacker Jake Ganus in the final result.
With Tech down 13-0 and driving late in the game, Thomas threw incomplete to Jeune from the Georgia 47-yard line. Ganus waved his arms, signaling an incomplete pass and was hit with the penalty. Rather than face fourth-and-7, Tech was set up with a first-and-10 on the Georgia 32. The Jackets were in the end zone two plays later on Jeune's acrobatic catch for a 15-yard touchdown reception.
Defensive players waving their arms after an incomplete pass is commonplace and I'm not sure I've ever seen it draw a penalty. Rather questionable call.
As it was, it helped Tech avoid a shutout, which would have snapped the Jackets' 236-game streak without a shutout. In his 19 seasons as a head coach, Johnson had only been shut out once before, in his first season at Navy, 38-0 to Connecticut. Perhaps most remarkably, Tech's last shutout at Grant Field was in 1957 (in a 7-0 loss to Georgia).
Davis' ejection
Tech linebacker P.J. Davis made a costly mistake in the third quarter when he hit a Georgia player with his hand or elbow after they got tied up in the third quarter. It's difficult to tease out the impact of Davis' absence, but the Jackets obviously could have used their leading tackler in the final quarter and a half. Johnson said he had no problem with the call.
"I was watching dead on it," he said. "He punched a guy. I think the guy was probably holding him. I'm sure it was going back and forth and he's the guy that got caught, but it was a valid call."
Bradley: Tech wrecked: From the Orange Bowl to 3-9
Bradley: This just in: Paul Johnson isn't happy
Georgia Tech done in again by third-down failures
Big play eludes Georgia Tech defense
Mistakes doom Tech against Georgia
Defense gives up yards, but not points
I mentioned in my story for myajc and the Sunday paper that the 13 points that Tech allowed was the fewest that Georgia has scored against the Jackets going back to the 1977 game (won 16-7 by Tech).
It is undoubtedly a reflection on Georgia's offense, which had been held to 10 or fewer points three times previously this season, but not awful work by the Tech defense, which forced five punts and stopped the Bulldogs on downs once on 10 possessions. Also, beneficial field position created by special teams sometimes helped Tech. The 13-point effort is particularly worth noting as the Jackets were again without defensive tackle Adam Gotsis.
Georgia averaged a massive 6.8 yards per carry (a yard more than in last year's game) on the strength of a number of explosive plays, including running back Sony Michel's 34-yard touchdown run, a 34-yard pass from Greyson Lambert to wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell on an absolute strike, a 33-yard run by Michel and the 25-yard pass from Lambert to tight end Jed Blazevich that got the Bulldogs out of trouble on their final possession.
There were too many missed tackles; though some might be expected against a team with superior athletes. Tech held Michel to three or fewer yards on 13 of his 24 carries, but a player with his speed, balance and quickness can't be held down forever.
It was a lot of what the defense has shown this season - playing effective sometimes, and even often, but then sometimes lapsing with big plays allowed. But, again, 13 points is commendable.
Johnson quotes
"Disappointing, but it's all stuff I think we can fix, (that I can fix). And I'm hellbent to get it fixed, I can tell you that. I'm not going to go through this again."
On Thomas' season: "I don't think I was disappointed, because he's a really tough kid. I don't think he played as well as he played a year ago, but I'm not sure that's all his fault. I think a year ago, he was surrounded by experienced senior players and this year he was surrounded by a bunch of young players. At times, there was six freshmen on the field on offense a lot. When Marcus (Marshall) is out there at B-back and you've got Clinton (Lynch) and Mikell (Lands-Davis) and some of those guys at A-back and two offensive tackles that are freshmen and the receiver's a freshman (Brad Stewart), there's a lot of freshmen out there that haven't played, and I think instead of getting a lot of the support and help he got (in 2014), he was trying to direct and trying to help out. And we didn't protect him very well, to say the least."
Also: "He was under pressure a little bit. You're not going to hit a lot of (passes). You've got to protect him better, give him a chance to set his feet. That's one thing I can promise we're going to be better at."
Player quotes
"It's been real special. I grew up a Georgia Tech fan. I followed the team back since the Calvin Johnson days, as far as I can remember. So it was really special for me to come stay in-state, go to my favorite school growing up, get a chance, not just to play but make plays on a big stage. Things didn't go the way we wanted to this season, but the memories that we created these last four years, they'll last a lifetime, and the relationships." - cornerback D.J. White
"It just kind of sucks that it's a bad taste in your mouth that you can't really do anything about now. But it's going to help me in life. Life's not over just because this season's over. You have to move on." safety Jamal Golden
Congratulations are in order
The day wasn't a total loss for Golden. After the game, Golden proposed to his girlfriend, who accepted.

We have had a number of pleasant surprises in this house as we undo the work of previous owners in an effort to return the house to its former configuration. Since the house had been turned into 3 apartments in the 1940s, some odd things happened - like the closing off of the foyer so that a bathroom could be placed there! Access to the living room was probably closed off to the front door as well, since the front door probably accessed the upstairs apartment. The exterior door in the living room accessed the apartment on the right side of the house and the exterior door into the former doctor's office accessed the third apartment on the left side of the house.
For those of you familiar with houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s, there was often a set of French doors separating what most of us use as a living room now from the main foyer. The previous owners of our house had re-opened the doorway from the foyer to the living room, but only to the width of a single door. It was obvious to us that there had been a wider doorway there. There was a square indentation in the floor for the French door to lock one of the doors closed and the framing was new. When we were at the stage of removing walls that didn't belong, we found that - yes, indeed! - the original opening was wide enough for French doors!
Unfortunately, though some of the trim and doors that had been removed had been stored in the basement by some forward thinking person (or pack rat!), we did not still have the French doors. Fortunately, Black Dog Salvage is nearby. Now, if you enjoy looking at treasures from old buildings, check out your nearest architectural salvage store. It's great fun and you can find details you didn't even know you needed. Fortunately for us, we found a great set of oak French doors that are stained the color of the rest of our woodwork. My husband swears they might be our original doors.
Because we needed to build the oak door frame and had far more important tasks on our plate, these doors have been languishing in our doctor's office waiting room/library/dining room/office for far too long. As part of The Great Rearrangement, it is finally time to install the doors. As of Sunday afternoon, we have the stationary French door installed. The little matters of some missing hinge pins and a need to rearrange the living room so that the other door has room to swing kept us from completing this task, but those are quick fixes that should happen this week. The door looks great and really adds some class to our foyer!

Every Sunday, Bac Ha hosts the biggest fair near the mountainous highlands and the Chinese border.
The market was very crowded, local products for sale or barter are carried on horseback. Besides the usual items like pigs, cows, chickens, and ducks, the Bac Ha market sold dogs. As dogs were available as cuts of meat, they were also available live, right next to the live pigs, chickens, and other livestock.
Rounding the corner and pungent fumes of alcohol accosted our senses of smell, from corn whiskey, a Bac Ha specialty. The potent moonshine is decanted by vendors from large white plastic jugs to used bottled water containers. If you doubt the ability of a vendor's hooch to peel paint or light your senses on fire, you can try a shot for free.
At the fair, adventurous gastronomes can try thang co blood porridge, a popular dish of the H'Mong and other local people.
