I interviewed the lovely Burn Gorman to discuss Up There, his film about getting stuck in the bureaucracy of the afterlife, for BBC News Online.
Up There: Finding laughs in limbo
It can be tough adjusting to your own death. That is the premise of a new British film called Up There, which sees the dead living among us, tied up in bureaucracy as they wait to be transferred 'up there'.
Torchwood's Burn Gorman plays the long-dead Martin – tasked with guiding the recently-deceased to their local 'Moving On' centre, complete with regular progress checks and seemingly endless group counselling sessions.
But when Martin's new partner frightens his very first client into running away, the pair are forced to travel cross-country to track him down.
The film, set in anonymous Glasgow alleyways and a sleepy Scottish coastal town, makes the afterlife seem as mundane as what comes before. And that's what attracted Gorman to the project.
"[Martin] doesn't deal with his issues in the film, or his emotional incontinence… he's just getting on with death, just like he did in life, like most of us.
"We know what we should do, or what we could do, but we more or less procrastinate and just bumble on, don't we?"
Director Zam Salim said the story was inspired by "the experience of being unemployed, and wandering around town for a bit – I thought that was quite amusing".
"But also, it's about how you cope with loss. I thought it was quite funny to think, 'well if the living struggle to come to terms with loved ones being deceased, then how do the deceased come to terms with it in the afterlife?'"
Like many films that deal with life after death – Beetlejuice, Heaven Can Wait, and Defending Your Life – Up There draws comedy from the plight of the newly-deceased.
These ghosts cannot walk through walls. They cannot even open doors, forced instead to wait until a member of the living lets them through.
Meanwhile, Martin's partner Rash (Aymen Hamdouchi), when he's not bragging about his death in a televised car chase, spends much of his time thinking of ways to spy on the living having sex.
"But after you've done that a few times, after you've been a bit of a peeping Tom, then what you do?" asks Gorman.
"You look around the shops! At things that you could've bought, but you didn't buy.
"Or perhaps you become interested in some mundane hobby. It's just the unremarkable nature of their existence, just faffing around."
Money matters
Up There started life as a 10-minute YouTube short, made in conjunction with the Glasgow Film Office.
It has taken six years to turn it into a full-length, big screen movie. After securing funding from Creative Scotland and the BFI, "it all seemed to go quickly," says Salim.
"That was until we got to the bit where we had to secure that last 10%, which felt endless. An experience a lot of independent films have, I'm told."
In the run-up to its release, Up There has received Scottish Bafta nominations, as well as awards from the Santa Barbara and Rhode Island Film Festivals.
Producer Annalise Davis hopes the attention will help pique audiences' interest.
"If you're a smaller, more independent film… it's really crucial for two reasons," she says.
"Firstly for getting the word out about the film, but also that stamp of approval that this is a good quality film, and that people aren't going to regret putting their money down. And it feels nice as well!"
The producers have also been busy on social media, allowing audiences to vote for the location of the film's premiere – held recently in Borehamwood – while also distributing a series of 'How To Be Dead' clips on YouTube.
Davis thinks this is how independent films will be forced to survive in the future.
"Film is going to become ever more on-demand, and audiences are going to want to demand where and when they see it.
"It's exciting for us that we are the first film to fully commit to that."
For Gorman, the low-budget independent is in stark contrast to his appearance in Hollywood superhero blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises.
But he says the process of film-making was the same, no matter how many Batmobiles were on set.
"Christopher [Nolan, Batman director] has a very focused, calm, disciplined way of working," he says.
"You turn up on set – these immense sets with thousands of extras – and he's still very quiet and focused and very much into the performance.
"On something like Up There, Zam was again, quiet, focused, disciplined.
"He knew what he wanted but would say 'okay, this is my idea, why don't we do one [take] how I'd do it, and then why don't we just go for it?'
"So on both projects, the wonderful similar thing was that it did feel collaborative."
Next year sees Gorman appearing alongside giant robots in Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim.
"I've had a great, great couple of years," he admits.
The actor insists he'll continue to juggle his A-list appointments with smaller fare – reckoning that all film-makers face the same challenges.
"I've become aware of the frustrations of trying to get something made – anywhere, not just in Britain," he says.
"But things are changing. Things seem to be more accessible in terms of the hardware you need to make films, and the post-production.
"It's an exciting time."

STREAM: Zemial – "Pharos"
Greece's Zemial's come a long way since their 1992 stripped-down and fuzzy black metal stomper Sleeping Under Tartarus, but even back then they had some experimental and progressive tendencies. On that album, interesting rhythmic switch-ups and a playful sense of melody stand side-by-side with typical-of-the-times blastbeats and trebled-out guitars. Twenty-some years on, Zemial's a black/thrash/you name it jack-of-all-trades, expert at crafting the sort of epics that are as operatic in scope as they are wonky. It totally works, too.
Here's "Pharos" off of Zemial's forthcoming album, Nykta, the band's latest since 2005's In Monumentum. It's huge, and not just in length–clocking it at fourteen minutes, this goes from death metal ripper to dungeon master monologue to prog jam-out to cinematic soundscape. Killer bass. Sit back and listen.
Nykta is out October 31 on Hell's Headbangers.

As a higher education marketer, you need to represent your university in the best way possible to increase its appeal to potential students and increase enrollment rates.
Online marketing for educational institutions is extremely important. In this article, we'll explain some of the best practices in higher education marketing, from website optimization for search engines to content marketing, and also give you some ideas you can use to improve your existing programs.
We'll start by examining why online marketing for higher education has become so important. So keep reading if you want to learn more, and give us a call at 855-661-3350.
Years ago, marketing methods like television and radio advertisements, direct mail, paid website banner advertisements, and press releases were the preferred methods to reach your audience.
However, with technology becoming a prevalent part of every-day life, these methods have lost their effectiveness.
The first change occurred with the widespread availability of the Internet. Because consumers no longer have to rely on mass media, or word-of-mouth to learn about an institution—they simply turn to the Internet where they can get their answer at the drop of a pin.
This is why online marketing has become so effective. Using inbound marketing—a collection of marketing methods that prompt a consumer to take action after they are already seeking you out online—you can educate, instruct, and convince, rather than push and shove.
If you wonder where to start when marketing for educational institutions, read on! These tips will help you put together a cohesive inbound marketing plan that will allow you to reach, educate, and convince more students and their families like never before.
With the use of inbound marketing, you can reach more potential students naturally through search engines, communicate with them and answer questions via social media, and educate them on topics they're curious about by creating helpful content.
Let's examine some of the best online marketing methods for colleges and higher education institutions.
Search engine optimization, or SEO, refers to the practice of improving specific factors of your institution's website to improve its visibility and rankings in search engines. SEO typically has a very high ROI.
The general premise of SEO involves optimizing your website for the words and phrases potential students and their families associate with your institution. For example, if you are marketing a college in Denver, you would optimize your website for keywords like "Denver college," or "Colorado college."
Optimizing your website involves placing these important keywords in multiple locations so that search engines like Google associate them with your site, and rank you higher in searches for them. So if "Denver college" appears in the titles of your pages, in your body copy, in your page navigation, and so on, you have a much better chance at showing up in searches for "Denver college" than if that phrase only appeared once on a single page.
SEO also involves some other factors, including the number of links pointing to your website from other sites, how fast your website loads, and whether or not it is mobile-friendly. You can get a very quick overview of search engine optimization in five minutes or less by reading our CEO's guide to SEO.
Social media is a fantastic way to communicate directly with those who are making a decision about their educational future, and show them why your institution is the best choice.
You can use platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to start conversations with potential students and to also let them know that you are available to answer any questions they might have about your institution.
Not only is social media a great place to answer questions, but it's also a great way to draw potential students to your university's website. For example, you could write a blog that lists what you should pack for your first semester away at college. Not only will you gain traffic to your site, but soon-to-be college students will share your blog with their friends. Just like that you have the potential to double your website traffic.
Pinterest allows you to get a little more creative. For example, you could create a board where you curate pins about dorm decorating or easy foods to cook in the microwave.
Instagram, on the other hand, is an ideal place to share behind-the-scenes photos of your campus or institution's staff, showing what life and studies are like—all giving potential students more reasons to tour your grounds.
Bill Craig WebFX President
Content marketing is extremely important to gaining traffic to your institution's website, and it's fairly simple to implement.
Content marketing refers to the act of attracting and appealing to potential customers or leads through the use of interesting, helpful, and unique content. This content could take many forms, including blog posts, articles, webinars, infographics, videos, and so on.
Although content does not often directly lead to conversions or new enrollments on its own, it can increase the trust that potential students or their families have in your institution. Because of its usage of important keywords, it can also help boost your SEO so that your ranking improves.
One of the quickest and easiest ways to implement a content marketing strategy is to start a blog. This blog can contain a variety of topics, as long as it is relevant to your target audience of students. You could write about events on your campus, educational choices and majors, future career paths, and other related topics.
Finally, one of the best ways to communicate with potential students is through the use of email marketing. This method allows you to engage almost one-on-one with interested leads that have opted into receiving messaging from you.
There are a few ways you can use email marketing. If you offer content on your website, you may find some of it valuable enough that you wish to "email gate" it—that is, only offer it for download in exchange for an email address (and subscription to your list). You can then start sending information about your campus or educational programs to the addresses you receive through this method.
You may also consider simply creating an email list where potential students can sign up to receive information, or parents of college-age students can receive updates about enrollment dates, and so on. No matter how you choose to use email, ensure the sign up locations are highly visible on your website, and the benefits of receiving messages from you are clearly stated.
Now that you know all the best practices for marketing your higher education website and programs, it's time to get started!

Recently, this stadium (Qatar's new Al-Wakrah sports stadium) became news because it looks a bit like a vagina.
So, in the spirit of the stadium, here are seven other vaguely rude buildings. Because we're really mature.
7. The Gherkin.
6. This Church.
(An image captured on GoogleMaps)
5. This vagina.
(Actually, this one is a bit of a cheat because it is a work of art by Amsterdam-based photographers Blommers and Niels Schumm.)
4. This staircase.
(By Edeltrud Taschner, though little more information can be found.)
3. THIS staircase.
(Livraria Lello is in actual fact a bookstore located in central Porto, Portugal.)
2. This vaguely vaginal roof.
(Source: Architecturallibido.wordpress.com)
1. Whatever this Chinese building is.
(OK, another vague cheat. This is the People's Daily headquarters in Beijing, during construction. On completion and after the scaffolding was removed it does look a lot less phallic.)

We married with a plan; we continued with none. It was easy to tell ourselves that the next step was to have a baby, to grow a family, to show that indeed we were moving along a perfectly calculated timeline. But that didn't happen, of course. Things don't always go our way, of course.
And looking back at the almost two years we had to just you and me, I'm ever so grateful that life brought us somewhere else.
If I squint, I can find ourselves on our wedding day and remember exactly who we were in the folds and creases of our bodies and our souls: such wide-eyed, ecstatic newlyweds with a perfect image of each other, hoping and expecting nothing but the best. It was adorable; we were immaculate. And then life happened and hit us like a truck...Read More

Manadel al-Jamadi hung from the rusty rungs of a barred window, his hands behind his back in a style known as a Palestinian hanging. American troops beat him and demanded the unconscious prisoner reveal the whereabouts of a non-existent weapons cache. His face was hidden under a green bag and hanging down over his droopy shoulders, displacing from their sockets from gravity's force, pushing his limp body down to the cold ground of his cell.
Half an hour passed, and the exuberant Americans soldiers started to think that the sorry Iraqi man was cheating them by playing dead 'like a possum', and released him from his stress position. They then realised that the prisoner had no pulse.
Such harrowing scenes from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq would forever remain unknown to the American public who pay the soldiers in question if it weren't for the relentless muck-raking of the world's most accomplished investigative reporter, Seymour Hersh. Hersh won the Orwell award for his exposé, to add to his collection alongside his Pulitzer he gained in 1970 for his work on the My Lai massacre in Vietnam.
However, for the 'fake news'-conscious crop of journalists in 2017, Hersh is a 'far-right conspiracist' and 'unhinged' for his willingness to confront power rather than parrot its claims ad nauseam.
In his Guardian column, George Monbiot argues that Hersh, alongside journalist and documentary maker John Pilger, and – even more strangely – the left-wing academic Noam Chomsky are all guilty of spreading 'far-right conspiracy theories' surrounding the sarin attack on the Syrian town of Khan Shaykhun.
He makes the point that a couple of months ago the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) released a report which conclusively determined that the Assad regime is responsible for the atrocity. Therefore, according to Monbiot, every journalist who dared question Donald Trump's retaliatory strikes on a Syrian airbase which occurred almost six months before the official report concluded that Assad was guilty, and before third-party actors were allowed anywhere near the scene, were responsible of huge crimes against journalism.
For their attempts to balance out the various facts and potential theories – none of which that had yet been proven nor disproven due to the lack of access that international bodies had to the site, and , by extension, the lack of an official verdict on the culpability – these three men are equatable to talk-show conspiracist Alex Jones and various Twitter trolls, Monbiot argues.
George Orwell once said, 'journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations'. For the current iteration of reporters and commentators who line the halls of the Guardian and the New York Times, however, being branded a PR man is no longer the cardinal journalistic sin; instead, the constant fear of being forever confined to the tin foil zone – of cabals, conspiracies and the government putting chemicals in the water to turn the frogs gay – is the real career killer.
A healthy dose of cynicism is needed in order to balance the media playing field towards the people using the information to shape their world view. Cold, hard, news-wire style reporting is, of course, naturally weighted in favour of the establishment. Government ministers are considered more 'relevant' than think-tanks or academic institutions, even if experts are more likely to fall in the last two categories. The result is that politicians are effectively handed blank space on the front page of newspapers in which they can shape the narrative however they wish.
This atmosphere of press sub-ordinance led to us jumping head first into the Iraq War; a mindless US grab of resources and geopolitical capital which cost a million innocent lives. The man who Monbiot criticises, John Pilger, researches this in his documentary 'The War You Don't See'.
At a time when the free press is increasingly under attack – when Google is increasingly censoring alternative news outlets and public broadcasters are having to register as foreign agents – it isn't helpful for a journalist to turn on his own and accuse the most accomplished members of his profession of being 'conspiracy theorists' for asking questions.
One of the more promising side-effects of the Trump era is that mainstream press outlets are beginning to once again show some spine; the Washington Post and the New York Times have regained a belligerence that was suspiciously absent during Obama's drone wars and his expansion of the NSA. Better late than never.
The glare of the media spotlight has meant that Trump's most potentially damaging policies – the wall, the repeal of Obamacare, the Muslim ban – have either failed or been significantly stripped-back as a result of relentless press interrogation , by journalists who could be derided as 'conspiracists' but instead are more accurately lauded as fearless muckrakers.
When it comes to war, however, it remains business as usual. The government line is the the only line, and anyone who dares poke their nose into proceedings must be wearing a tin foil hat.

From April 2014, GP practices were required to promote and offer the facility for patients to view online or print the information held in their Summary Care Record (i.e. medications, allergies and adverse reactions and any additional information the patient had explicitly consented to). However, it was recognised by NHS England that not all systems would have the functionality to enable GP practices to comply with this requirement from April 2014.
Where practices did not have access to necessary GPSoC approved systems, they were required to publicise their intention to provide online access to the record by 30 September 2014, by publishing a statement of intent at the practice premises and on the practice website (where applicable) to achieve the requirement by 31 March 2015.
Eligible patients wishing to access their records online are enabled on a patient-by-patient basis by the practice. A range of resources to help practices implement this requirement are available, see 'Further guidance for practices' below.
Following the 2015-2016 GP contract negotiations, GP practices will also be required to offer online access to the detailed information from the medical record i.e. information held in coded form. However, where the necessary systems are not available to practices during 2015-2016, practices are required to publish a plan by 30 September 2015 on how they intend to achieve the requirement by 31 March 2016.
Safeguards have been negotiated in implementing expanded records access. There are circumstances where a GP may believe it is not in the best interests of the patient to share all information in the record, for example where it could cause harm to their physical or mental health. GP software will be configured to offer all coded data by default, but GPs will be provided with the tools to withhold coded information where they judge it to be in the patient's interests or where there is reference to a third party.
Where free text is currently embedded within coded information, technical amendments will be made to GP software, through the GPSoC contract, to allow coded information to be separated from free text to allow GPs to withhold free text whilst still meeting the contractual obligation to provide coded information. Practices are only expected to meet the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 requirements for patient online access to their record when they have been provided with the GPSoC approved and funded IT systems. See later section on 'Availability of GPSoC approved systems'.
Summary: practices should prepare for patient online record access, providing access to the summary information from 31 March 2015, where requested by the patient, and where the practice has access to the necessary GPSoC approved systems.
Where systems are not yet available, practices should publish a statement of intent to provide this facility.

Despite the unquestionably tough time faced by Labour in the upcoming election, it is still a time of opportunity. It is my hope that those MPs who have been working against the party from within, who are still working against the party, even at this crucial time, will be rewarded by their constituents by losing their seats. Better Labour candidates will hopefully rise around the country to replace them in Westminster, people with genuine belief in Labour and the politics that Labour's rejuvenated membership believes in. Labour has carried too much dross for too long, the current leadership have begun the process of reclaiming Labour from the wealthy 'donors' that plague British politics, shuffling their money around the parties, buying influence, tax exemptions and tax payer funded government contracts. Whatever the outcome of the 8th June 2017, it is my genuine hope that Labour will continue to move forward, lighter for losing the deadwood that has clung to it since 2007.
The wealthy, the privileged, the indulged who would rather undermine opposition to the ruinous Tories in government than consider the impact on the rest of us 95% (even those foolhardy enough to still think voting Tory is a good thing or in some way in their best interests) will almost certainly continue their petulant rants against Labour and the 100,000s of members right the way up to the 8th June. Bollocks to them and their self-interest. I hope the 9th June 2017 signals them finally paying their fair share of tax.
After 'brexit' and Trump, we were told that the march to the Right was inevitable but France has rejected Le Pen by a thumping margin. Britain can also step back from being frog-marched off a cliff by the 'establishment', it's shills and its hirelings. The march to the Right, off a cliff, is not inevitable.

New from Paris Conf (IMCAS) For women – improving vaginal dryness and health and appearance
Many women, as they age, develop vaginal dryness which can impair sexual enjoyment and cause discomfort. This is particularly true in post menopausal or post breast cancer women who can't take estrogens.
A new device which is called the ThermiVa uses radiofrequency (sounds waves) to stimulate growth of cells in the vaginal and vulvar area and improve dryness and discomfort. Interestingly, there are also reports of improvement in mild to moderate incontinence (losing a little urine when you cough, sneeze, bear down). I'm waiting for more data on this incontinence result. It is very comfortable and takes about 45 minutes. I was so skeptical about this that I had a friend do a treatment on me, and I can confirm that it's very comfortable. It also has the interesting side effect of making the vulvar area look younger, if that is of concern to you.
The ThermiVa treatments for vaginal dryness are usually done once a month for 3 months and results appear to last about a year. Unfortunately insurance will not cover this (yet).
Hope this helps, Dr. I

Hi, everyone!
I hope you're all excited that we're inching closer and closer to Christmas with every passing day.
All you dog fanciers, especially dog show fanciers, probably know that the annual AKC (American Kennel Club) Eukanuba National Championship took place on Saturday and Sunday night.
I didn't manage to find the time to watch the live stream those nights, so I was happy to see that the full show was on the Eukanuba live website, separated into the two different nights.
In total, the show was over eight hours long, though a good hour of it was spent with dog commercials, the kind of commercials that were cute the first time but not cute the five hundredth time.
That's right!
They played the same commercials over and over!
Just ask me to recite the Eukanuba commercial with the seventeen year old black Labs...ugh, it's still in my head.
I've been a huge dog show fancier for a while, and as you know I've recently entered the sport with a mini Dachshund who we got recently.
I'm sure you've seen Christmas (that's the dog's name) around the blog these past couple months!
Okay, if you haven't watched the show and plan to watch it because it's totally amazing and it's impossible not to watch, do not read this post!
Spoiler alert!
I enjoyed watching the Hound group, especially because this is my favorite of the seven groups and my dog's breed is in the Hound group. I really liked seeing the Bloodhound, Mongo, who was handled by Heather Helmer, Nathan the Bloodhound's handler in Westminster and other big shows. He retired recently, but I'm sure you know who I'm talking about!
It was a close call, but here's what the results look like in the Hound group!
1st: GCH Sporting Field's Shameless (Whippet)
2nd: GCH CH Vin-Melca's Daggarwood Delight (Norwegian Elkhound)
3rd: GCH CH Torquay Midnight Victory (15 inch Beagle)
4th: GCH CH Passport What Did You Say Ss
Brazen the Whippet won her group with her handler, Amanda Giles! This is Brazen after her win.
Here's a picture of GCH CH Vin-Melca's Daggarwood Delight! This image is not from this show...I can't find a photo of her during the championship. I can't even find out what her call name is!
I can't find out the Beagle's call name either! This photo also isn't from this show, but it's still the same head-tilting pooch!
I also can't find out what this smooth Dachshund's name is, but I know the handsome fella won fourth in the group!
Next the Non-Sporting group appeared in the ring. There are a wide variety of breeds in this ring, and though quite a few of the dogs in this group was cute little companion dogs, some of the breeds, such as the Dalmatian and Chow Chow, are larger and tougher. So, who won this interesting group? The Chow Chow, if you please!
Here's what it looks like on paper!
1st: GCH CH Eastern-Magic Fly Me Safe (Chow Chow)
2nd: GCH CH Sabe's Simply Invincible (Boston Terrier)
3rd: GCH CH Ashbrook's Easy Rider (Keeshond)
4th: GCH CH Wilson's I'm Your Handyman (English Bulldog)
This is Pilot strutting his stuff! His handler, Michael Brantley, must be proud of his dog!
Vinnie won second!
I can't even find a pic of Rider at this show...at least I know what his name is!
Decker placed fourth in his group!
It's time to see how the Toy group did! Do you like little dogs, the kind that will be your best friend, lapdog, and tiny companion? You'll really enjoy these results if you like these fellas! Here's what really happened out there.
1st: Hidden Valley B R8 (Toy Poodle)
2nd: GCH CH Hill Country's Tag I'M It (Pug)
3rd: GCH CH Hallmark Jolei Rocket Power (Shih Tzu)
4th: GCH CH Marchwind Barbara Ann (Italian Greyhound)
Look how dignified little R8 is! After all, the pup came all the way from Asia with handler Gil-Je Seong in hopes of winning!
JJ was second best in the group!
Guess who got third in the group? Rocket, of course! I've met this sweet little pooch before!
Now let's cover fourth place! Say hello to Barbara Ann!
I'll post the rest tomorrow! You just might be surprised with the results, or maybe you won't be at all. It doesn't matter, the top dog will end up winning anyway!

Following up on the Mark Ferrandino kiss picture
There's a common journalistic shorthand for an update on a story we've written: it's called the "follow" (sometimes written folo). Given next week's Time Magazine cover, brought to my attention by AmericaBlog.com's roundup of notable gay kisses, I thought I'd follow up on the reaction to the Page One picture of House Speaker Mark Ferrandino kissing his partner.
In all, response to the coverage was pretty split on technology:
Phone: Most readers who called the office were vehemently against our decision to publish the picture. In all, we fielded more than 100 calls. (While this is a notable amount, we have received more calls when there's a mistake in the puzzles or when, about three years ago, we didn't acknowledge Veteran's Day on Page One.)
Letters: Letters editor Cohen Peart reports that he received dozens of letters, with only two supporting the publication of the photo. (One of those was in response to a column by guest columnist Mike Rosen on "lavender journalism" that ran about a week later).
Internet: On the Editor's Note blog post (as well as one by Capitol reporter Lynn Bartels on our politics blog, The Spot), the reactions in the comments sections were overwhelmingly in favor of our decision to publish the picture.
It'll be interesting to watch the reaction to the Time Magazine covers. You can read about the people in the pictures and find comments here.

A crew of nine mechanics help keep the District's buses and vans on the road. Five of the nine District 211 mechanics are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, a professional certification group that certifies professionals and shops in the automotive repair and service industry, while the other four mechanics are working towards their national certification.
High School District 211 is proud to provide these transportation services with its own crew of drivers, totaling 126 bus and 64 van drivers with 27 aides.

C.C. Claimant-Respondent v. TRINITY YACHTS and RELIANCE NATIONAL INDEMNITY COMPANY c/o LOUISIANA INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION Employer/Carrier- Petitioners
) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
Employer appeals the Decision and Order and Order Denying Request for Rehearing (2006-LHC-1981) of Administrative Law Judge Clement J. Kennington rendered on a claim filed pursuant to the provisions of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. §901 et seq. (the Act). Claimant has filed a motion to dismiss employer's appeal on the grounds that its Petition for Review and brief to the Board were untimely filed and that the issues raised by employer have been addressed by the United States District Court during the proceedings claimant brought to enforce the award of benefits. Employer has not responded to claimant's motion to dismiss.
Claimant and employer settled claimant's claim for benefits pursuant to Section 8(i), 33 U.S.C. §908(i), for $30,000. The district director approved this settlement and filed an order awarding benefits on February 27, 2006. Employer paid the benefits on March 20, 2006. Claimant sought a Section 14(f) assessment, 33 U.S.C. §914(f), due to employer's late payment of benefits. 1 In his decision, the administrative law judge found claimant entitled to an additional 20 percent assessment of $6,000 pursuant to Section 14(f) as employer did not timely pay the compensation benefits awarded. The administrative law judge rejected employer's contention that Louisiana Insurance Guaranty Association (LIGA) cannot be held liable for this assessment pursuant to state law as the Act preempts any conflicting law. The administrative law judge also rejected employer's contention that proper mailing of the compensation order was not effected. The administrative law judge denied employer's subsequent motion for reconsideration.
We grant claimant's motion to dismiss employer's appeal. 2 The Board lacks jurisdiction over an order imposing a Section 14(f) assessment in cases where employer has not paid the assessment. Tidelands Marine Serv. v. Patterson, 719 F.2d 126, 16 BRBS 10(CRT) (5 th Cir. 1983); see also Snowden v. Director, OWCP, 253 F.3d 725, 35 BRBS 81(CRT) (D.C. Cir. 2001); Sea-Land Serv., Inc. v. Barry, 41 F.3d 903, 29 BRBS 1(CRT) (3 d Cir. 1994); Providence Washington Ins. Co. v. Director, OWCP, 765 F.2d 1381, 17 BRBS 135(CRT) (9 th Cir. 1985). In this case, by virtue of the proceedings in federal district court, it is apparent that employer did not pay the Section 14(f) assessment awarded by the administrative law judge. Therefore, we dismiss employer's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Id.
Moreover, we note that employer has had the opportunity for review of its substantive contentions concerning the procedural propriety of the Section 14(f) assessment. See Abbott v. Louisiana Ins. Guar. Ass'n, 889 F.2d 626, 23 BRBS 3(CRT) (5 th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 494 U.S. 1082 (1990). In a decision issued on October 22, 2007, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana denied LIGA's motion to dismiss claimant's motion to enforce the award of benefits. Carillo v. Reliance Nat. Indem. Co., No. 07-04060, 2007 WL 3125300 (E.D. La. Oct. 27, 2007). The court stated that LIGA "points to no language" in the Louisiana statute excluding its liability for post-insolvency costs and interest. The court also stated that "mailing" the compensation order is not part of the "filing" requirement of 20 C.F.R. §702.349, such that the time for paying the compensation due is tolled until proper mailing was effected. In a subsequent decision, the court held that claimant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, and the court enforced the administrative law judge's award of the Section 14(f) assessment. 3 Carillo v. Reliance Nat. Indem. Co., No. 07-4060, 2008 WL 576273 (E.D. La. Feb. 29, 2008). Employer has appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
For these reasons, the Board is without jurisdiction over employer's appeal. Therefore, we grant claimant's motion to dismiss it.

Administrative Appeals Judge
1. Section 14(f) of the Act states:
If any compensation, payable under the terms of an award, is not paid within ten days after it becomes due, there shall be added to such unpaid compensation an amount equal to 20 per centum thereof, which shall be paid at the same time as, but in addition to, such compensation, unless review of the compensation order making such award is had as provided in section 921 of this title and an order staying payment has been issued by the Board or court.
33 U.S.C. §914(f).
2. The Board, however, has the discretion to accept employer's Petition for Review and brief, which were timely filed in response to the Board's Order to Show Cause dated February 26, 2008. 20 C.F.R. §§802.211, 802.218.
3. Interestingly, the district court stated that the administrative law judge's award had become final because LIGA did not "assert or present documentation that it has filed an appeal to the Benefits Review Board," Carillo v. Reliance Nat. Indem. Co., No. 07-4060, 2008 WL 576273 at *2 (E.D. La. Feb. 29, 2008), even though this appeal was pending before the Board. Nonetheless, absent the grant of a stay of payments, employer must pay the compensation due even if an appeal is filed. Providence Washington Ins. Co. v. Director, OWCP, 765 F.2d 1381, 17 BRBS 135(CRT) (9th Cir. 1985).

Across the state of Missouri, dog rescue programs set up by the state's Department of Corrections are thriving in prisons, creating a more humane inmate population while getting shelter dogs ready for adoption.
The dogs have a remarkable impact on the offenders training them. Their behavior improves, with the built-in incentive to maintain good conduct records so they continue training the dogs. Offenders not directly involved in the program are also softening, with staff morale enhanced by the presence of the dogs.
As the program evolved, the idea of removing from shelters the dogs that were deaf, and thus hard to adopt, and teaching them sign language, has led to dogs being delivered to a school for deaf children.
A deaf dachshund, Sparky, now is "right at home with the school's youngsters," who have taught him additional sign language. And a second deaf dog, a Boston Terrier named Petie, may be on his way to the school soon.
Read the sign language story from Reuters News.

You might not expect a Victoria's Secret model to gravitate toward esoteric films, but Bridget Malcolm defies the stereotypes. Favoring trippy Jodorowsky tales and Chaplin flicks over standard blockbuster fare, Malcolm's selection of her all-time favorites is more art house than multiplex. Avant-garde leanings aside, Malcolm is no snob—her list balances highbrow with guilty pleasure via the addition of an '80s teen horror classic. Read on for her movie musts....
"I have always loved Charlie Chaplin, so any of his movies are number one for me. His character The Tramp is so multifaceted, which is incredible to witness in silent films, and Charlie Chaplin has always fascinated me as a human!"
"Two words: Jason Patric. It also has an incredible soundtrack, outfits...and I'm a sucker for '80s vampires."
"I listened to this soundtrack a lot before actually watching the movie, and both are amazing. I've yet to meet a Wes Anderson movie I didn't love!"
"I struggle with violence in movies, but I have never found it more perfectly pulled off than in a Quentin Tarantino movie. He manages to make it hilariously brutal, and the California surf music accompaniment in this movie makes me so happy."

It certainly doesn't seem like it would be easy to find true love in middle age. By then you've had your heart broken and have been through multiple life events. Everyone gathers extra baggage as the age. Group that with modern technology and how people approach dating these days, and you don't exactly have the perfect recipe. Everyone has their individual circumstances and lives. There is someone out there for you, and you just have to think about how to find your true love in middle age.
Technology to the Rescue to Help You Find the Right Partner
While you might not be fond of finding a date using technology, it can be an advantageous tool. Especially if you're trying to find true love in middle age, this may not seem right for you, but more for younger people who are comfortable with technology. But you need to know that there are all kinds of dating sites and dating apps that allow you to connect with people. Technology allows you to connect with people on all kinds of levels outside of dating even. You don't want to sit at a computer or use your laptop, tablet or phone all day. But it does help to explore those online dating options.
Think about what you like to do in your spare time. Maybe at the end of the week, you've worked a lot, you're tired and you've got things to catch up on. Don't we all. So you don't really have much spare time. Or perhaps you have plenty of spare time and a flexible schedule, yet you just don't know what to do with that time. It could be that you have quite a lot of fun, but you would like to find that special someone.
Having the Right Mental Attitude can Help You Meet Mr. or Mrs. Right
Two words come to mind when it comes to finding true love in middle age. It requires the right approach, and to have the right approach, you must practice patience and perseverance. If you're not patient, you're going to go down the wrong roads, or you're going to look in the wrong places. You're not going to be happy; you're not going to be ready. And if you become impatient, you lack perseverance, and you're not going to try. Life is more than about finding that special someone. It is about all things, so you need to be happy in all things as you look for your true love.
Don't Lose Hope That You'll Find Your True Love
I only know of one way to be happy in all things. I am a person of faith, and that's where it starts. You have to keep hope, and you have to keep searching for that special someone. Now go back to thinking about what you like to do for a minute. Perhaps it's not things you're doing already but things you would like to do now. Would any of those things put you in front of other people that you haven't met yet?
If so, then you need to pursue those avenues. You are going to have to bring yourself outside your own comfort zone. You never know what's going to be happening when you meet your true love. And, of course, we know it doesn't usually happen like as if someone waved a magic wand. Be yourself, be aware, and be patient as you persevere looking for new friends, new opportunities and the possibility of true love.

So here we are….. poised for greatness!
D-day was Thursday as I took an extra day's holiday ahead of the Easter break and I'm very glad I did as it was pretty much the perfect blue sky spring day with temperatures around 12o. I also managed to avoid storm Katie!
My sowing method:
- Last Autumn I filled a raised bed with homemade compost and covered over for the winter. A couple of weeks ago I then mixed through a few handfuls of chicken manure pellets to give everything a boost of goodness
- Directly before sowing I added 2 inches of shop bought sterile compost on top of the bed. I drew three rows (I find a garden cane produces the perfect drill), watered, taking care only to water the drill and not the surrounding soil, sprinkled the line with Nantes 2 carrots and then smoothed the dry soil back over the top. I'm hopeful this technique will mean the tiny carrot seedlings will not have to compete with any weed seedlings until they've established. Our homemade compost is also a bit on the heavy side so I want the carrots to be a reasonable size before the long tap root hits the heavier layer
- Apart from any ad-hoc rain they may encounter I will not water again for at least 2 weeks
It's worth mentioning that I chose Nantes 2 because they are recommended as a good reliable variety for early sowing under protection. Fast maturing, should grow to 15cm long and out the ground and on a plate by June so that I can then sow Autumn King and Eskimo's for a winter crop. Bonus!
Once the weather improves I'll replace the fleece with hoops and netting as a barrier to carrot root fly. I'll also sow the Purple Haze carrots as they are a bit trickier to establish in uncertain weather!
All I need to do now is keep the slugs at bay!

One hobby that I haven't indulged in as much as I'd like to lately is geeky board-gaming. I still play the occasional game of Settlers of Catan, or Cards Against Humanity, but every once-in-a-while I get the hankering for a game that involves moving minis around a board and stompin' monsters. I still remember getting a copy of Hero Quest as a kid, which forever after made Monopoly seem positively quaint.
A couple of events over the past month re-kindled my interest in these games. First, a buddy introduced me to a very cool, if devilishly brutal, board game called Kingdom Death: Monster. Second, our family moved to a new town where I discovered that I live just a few blocks away from a table-top gaming store (Heretic Games).
I've been particularly interested in 'cooperative' games, where the players either work together against some ultimate objective, or otherwise take turns playing both pro- and antagonists [1]. Perusing my local shop's wares, I came across a game called Castle Ravenloft, which scratches a certain classic D&D nostalgic itch.
Ravenloft has a pretty cool set up. You form a party from between one and five of the playable heroes and explore the dungeons below the Vampire Lord Strahd's eponymous castle (yes, you can 'solo' the game, which is great when you're the father of a baby and don't get out much). Rather than a board, you shuffle a number of room/corridor tiles into a stack and build out the dungeon as you explore, leading to a unique layout with each play session. The game is played over a series of 'adventures', each involving swapping in special tiles/items/monsters into an otherwise default pool and varying the specific victory conditions in order to keep things interesting.
As the dude at the store remarked, however, the game is tough: the is deck firmly stacked against the players [2]. Exploration is a war of attrition - uncovering new rooms activates new monsters who always get a free attack on the exploring hero. Conversely, failure to explore (in order to defeat monsters, heal party members, etc.) provokes random events that themselves can be utterly devastating. Ravenloft's overall strategy involves a trade-off between being thorough in exploration, taking time to carefully defeat foes and traps, versus making steady progress before insane random dungeon events whittle down your health. If you succeed, it's often by the skin of your teeth.
A few neat aspects of the game bear mention: First, monsters follow 'AI' routines via a series of if/else if/else statements and exploiting these behaviors is part of the strategy. Second, the game uses the D&D concept of experience gained from defeating foes in an interesting way. While you can spend it to buff your characters, you can also 'pay' experience points in order to avoid encounters entirely - often a necessity in order to survive. Finally, Ravenloft has a built-in difficulty setting in the form of extra lives, called 'healing surges'. When a party member is defeated, the player must spend one healing surge token to recover ~1/2 their hp. Otherwise, the game is over for everyone [3]. The default option gives the party two surge tokens, but you can begin with up to five if the challenge is overwhelming. It's a nice, organic way to tweak the brutality of the game to the tolerance of the audience.
These types of games always skirt a fine line between depth and commitment - the deeper and more involved the game is, the more time it takes to learn, set-up and play. Castle Ravenloft errs toward the simpler side of strategic combat, but games are quick to set up and generally last less than an hour if you're not regularly referring to the rules. That roughly corresponds to the maximum amount of baby-free time we can possibly get before we fall asleep ourselves.
So far, I'm quite pleased with the game - and who doesn't want to return to Ravenloft every once in a while?
[1] I didn't realize that such cooperative games are quite common and popular until relatively recently. It's not that I'm opposed to competition, rather I think that cooperation is generally more sociable and less intimidating to newcomers. The latter is important because I'm always trying to find games that my significant other is willing to try!
[2] Pun intended.
[3] Unlike some of the other games in this vein that I've played, if any hero dies, it's game over. Therefore, 'lives' are a shared, party resource. Honestly, who wants to sit out and watch the rest of the game from the sidelines anyways?

The Alesis DM8 USB Kit brings Alesis quality to drummers and studios. Whether you need quiet practice, tracking quickly into software, or fast on-stage setup, the DM8 USB Kit is a perfect choice.
TRUE SOUNDThe Alesis DM8USB Kit features the barrier-shattering DM8 high-definition drum module with Dynamic Articulation. The latest drum module in a line now spanning 20 years, the DM8 builds on the success of the top-of-the-line DM10. The DM8 shares the DM10âs essential architecture, including playback of genuine recordings of real drums and cymbals and advanced Dynamic Articulation multi-samples.
You'll find the DM8 to be packed with over 750 first-call studio and live drums and cymbals, dozens of play-along tracks, and an advanced metronome for practice and performance. The DM8 features professional audio and trigger inputs and outputs including USB MIDI for expansive flexibility and connection to a wide range of sounds and controllers.
It's an ultra-compact module, which means integrating components of the DM8 USB Kit or the entire setup into acoustic drum setups and percussion rigs is easy and comfortable. Imagine adding electronic, percussion and rare, ethnic sounds without giving up the organic, primal power of an acoustic set.
QUIET DOWNWhether you want to practice late night, or just keep the studio noise down, the rubberized pads of the DM8 USB Kit keep the acoustic noise down, while still giving you the ability to crank it up!
The DM8 USB Kit features a dual-zone snare, three toms, and a rugged kick pad. You can use virtually any single or double kick pedal for the pedal feel you prefer. The snare and tom pads mount on standard 10.5mm L-rods with low-slip, knurled mounting surfaces. The DM8 USB Kit comes with a compact 8-inch Hi-Hat with continuous-control pedal, a 12-inch Crash with choke, and a large 14-inch dual-zone Ride with choke.
GREAT LOOKSEveryone knows it can be tough to be seen on stage when youâre a drummer. Youâre in the back, usually with no lights. And forget about being able to dance. Thatâs why our designers took great pains to make the DM8 USB Kit look as great as it feels and sounds. Youâll notice the sleek lines of the DM8, bathed in Raw Aluminum painted finish, which just might match your MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod, or iPhone.
COMPACT CONFIGURATIONDrummers know that hardware can make or break a kit. But whatâs ideal for tour oversized, overweight stands arenât necessary in the studio, where space can be at a premium. Thatâs why we designed the DM8 USB Kitâs DMRack to take up minimal space yet offer stability, durability, and total position flexibility.
This rugged, four-post rack features 1 1/2-inch metal tubes for universal compatibility and sturdiness. The clamps on the DMRack adjust with large wingscrews for easy, tool-less adjustments with no drumkey needed. Mini-boom cymbal arms help get your cymbals right where you want them.
SET ON UPBesides size and noise, one of the requests we hear the most from drummers is that they hate building a rack from scratch. Thatâs why the DMRack comes pre-assembled in the box. We love to listen to what drummers have to say, and weâre happy to help save time and effort getting the kit from the boxes to read-to-play!

It's my MOMtor Monday at Mothering From Scratch!
Go check it out! the blessings of parenting a strong willed child
(Oh, and if you haven't gotten the ultimate homemaking bundle yet… go grab it while you can. It's worth it.)
To be honest, the timing could have been a little better. Guest posts get written and submitted long before they are published (in this case about two weeks). When I wrote the post, it was easy to see the blessings from raising two strong willed boys. This morning… not so much.
Today was one of THOSE mornings. It was the kind of morning that has me scrambling for my yelling journal because I have some things to write down.
This morning, we needed grace… like candy. It was loud and messy and chaotic, even for a Monday morning. It was everything my guest post was not. I felt like a fraud.
I strive for authenticity on my blog… for honesty even when it's uncomfortable. Raising strong willed boys isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It gets messy.
It's been a long time since I first locked horns with my son in a two-day long battle over peas. That's when I first learned the importance of picking my battles.
It's been an even longer time since the whole hot dog incident that humbled me and taught me to see divine lessons in messy places.
But as I looked back at those stories (and the countless others too messy or too trivial to share) I began to see the bigger picture.
I could see how God uses those moments to draw me closer to Him and to help me grow. I saw how the breakthrough moments leave my boys with teachable hearts… and how the lesson God has so recently engraved on MY heart is so easily taught in that moment.
I can see God's wisdom in giving me boys who are every bit as strong willed as I am.
With that perspective, I'm able to see the blessing once again.

More than a million residents of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana will have a new broadband option this month in the first large-scale rollout of broadband over power line (BPL) service, despite concerns that the new BPL technology interferes with other radio frequency devices, including ham radios.
Current Communications Group, a BPL vendor, announced Tuesday it is teaming with Cinergy Broadband, a subsidiary of Cinergy, to roll out BPL service in Cinergy's coverage area by March 15, says Brian Lustig, a Current Communications spokesperson. Current Communications has been conducting small-scale trials of BPL in the Cincinnati, Ohio, and Potomac, Maryland, areas for more than a year.
The large-scale rollout will be available to Cinergy's 1.5 million customers in southwestern Ohio, parts of central and southern Indiana and the Cincinnati suburbs in Kentucky.
Drawing Criticism
The rollout follows action by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in mid-February in which commissioners voted to move forward with a process to measure interference caused by BPL service.
The FCC's move drew criticism from groups such as the American Radio Relay League, which contends that BPL interferes with ham radio signals.
An ARRL official wasn't immediately available to comment on Current Communications' announcement.
Alternative Access
BPL vendors pitch the service as a third broadband choice, in addition to cable modem and DSL service. FCC commissioners have trumpeted BPL as a broadband option for customers in rural areas where cable or DSL service aren't available.
Current Communications' service will allow consumers to receive broadband through their electrical outlets. Users can plug in a HomePlug power line modem into an electric socket anywhere in a house or office without professional installation or additional wiring, according to the company.
Current Communications is also planning to offer a voice over Internet Protocol service, possibly through a partnership with another company, Lustig says.
Customers in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky will be able to buy BPL service for $29.95 to $39.95 a month, depending on the connection speed. A second Current Communications joint venture with Cinergy will deploy BPL to smaller municipal and cooperatively owned power companies covering 24 million customers across the U.S. The companies have not announced a date for that second rollout.

Abilene Livestock Auction Abilene, TX.
Round Up for Rehab
Roundup for Rehab is a series of auctions of donated livestock. It was the first fundraiser for West Texas Rehabilitation Center 54 years ago, and continues to help WTRC serve children and adults in West Texas who have disabilities.
"It's not one of (WTRC's) larger fundraiser deals, but it's the only deal Abilene Auction sponsors heavily," owner Randy Carson says. "I've had a son that went through (the rehabilitation center) back in the 1970s, and now I have a grandson. They do tremendous work and I told a countless number of people to just go there and walk down the halls to see what they do."
Randy started helping with the Round-up when he was an employee at the sale barn in 1967.
The West Texas Rehabilitation Center (WTRC) is a private non-profit founded in 1953 as a treatment center for children with cerebral palsy.
WTRC started with one location, one physical therapist, and seventeen patients. Responding to the needs of our communities has resulted in the growth of the organization to three locations and more than two hundred employees.
The WTRC staff works together as an integrated team to provide a wide array of outpatient physical, communication, and hearing services to the thousands of children and adults across West Texas who are challenged by disabilities and/or disorders.
WTRC'S Mission: "...to improve the quality of life of those we serve regardless of financial circumstance."
We Support West Texas Rehabilitation Center with
