So the question always comes up, what kind of light should I use in my exposure unit?
Before we discuss what is the best type of light for burning screens, two important questions must be asked first.
- What type of emulsion or capillary film will you be using?
- What type of artwork will you be working with?

Epworth is now one of the only centres in Australia to offer patients a new technique for treating achalasia, an uncommon condition resulting in swallowing difficulties due to a non-functioning oesophageal muscle.Treatment is aimed at improving swallowing by dividing the lower oesophageal sphincter muscle. This is commonly done laparoscopically (with key hole surgery), allowing food to pass more freely into the stomach.
The new Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) technique allows the same operation to be done using a conventional gastroscope, thereby avoiding incisions.
So far a small number of POEM procedures have been performed at Epworth Richmond with excellent results by Mr Gary Crosthwaite, Director of the Clinical Institute of General Surgery and Gastroenterology, who undertook training for the technique in both the United States and Germany.
"This is an exciting new development in the treatment of achalasia, which allows an even more non-invasive way of treating this condition than we had previously," Mr Crosthwait said.
"Treatment has progressed from open surgery where the recovery was lengthy to laparoscopic surgery which reduced pain and shortened recovery to a procedure that has no incisions at all."
"Preliminary procedures around the world have been shown to be very safe and effective in allowing patients much better or even normal swallowing.
Epworth has been important in encouraging development of innovative techniques across many disciplines to bring world leading treatment to patients," Mr Crosthwaite said.

Beware of DR planning recipes
Disaster recovery is not to be taken lightly. Here are some tips for implementing a full-fledged DR plan.
In the wake of the Sept. 11 disaster, we have seen a flood of disaster recovery planning or business continuity planning-oriented products and services in the market. I have personally received offers to endorse several "canned plans" -- fill-in-the-blank planning templates intended to aid novice planners in building their plan document without the expense or effort of figuring it out for themselves. Needless to say, I passed on all of them.
Not only were the dollar amounts of the endorsement offers well below what, say, Nike offered to Michael Jordan, I also took issue with the underlying notion of a one-size-fits-most DR planning template. The hassle of developing a plan is the purpose of planning itself: It helps you define what you've got so you can consider options for sustaining or replacing it in the wake of an event. It's a mental exercise that, in the final analysis, teaches you to respond rationally in the face of the great irrationality of a disaster.
The time and expense of planning is a big issue for many companies, especially now when staff and budget resources are in short supply. As a veteran of some 68 planning efforts and author of four books on the subject, I am frequently approached by folks looking for a recipe for a disaster recovery planning process that won't break the bank -- a kind of DRP lite.
Of course, there is no such thing as DRP lite. But, I understand and sympathize with the motives of those who are asking the question. So, here is the best guidance I can offer.
Generically, there are about nine parts to a full-fledged DR planning effort. The first step is project initiation, which involves obtaining management buy-in, setting up a planning team, etc. Next is risk analysis, which involves undertaking a process to identify what you have, how critical it is, what its exposures are, what an interruption will cost you, how long you could sustain an outage, and gathering info on what others are doing to protect their environments.
The third component of DR planning involves the deployment of disaster prevention capabilities: Everything from smoke alarms and sprinkler systems to facility, network and application security systems to systems, network and storage management systems. Then, you need to develop a data protection strategy. Since data cannot be replaced, it must be protected through some sort of redundancy.
The balance of planning involves, first, the development of strategies and logistics for application, network and user work area recovery or replacement. Then, the ideal DR plan includes the development of training and testing regimes, and a change management plan.
If you have limited funds, should you spread your dollars thinly across all of these activities or just focus on a few? That isn't an easy question, but common sense provides some clarity. In any organization, the two most irreplaceable assets are people and data. Skilled workers are protected through the judicious application of disaster prevention capabilities, while data protection entails the use of a backup/restore or mirroring strategy. So, I would encourage you to focus on these, but only after you have done a risk assessment. Without risk analysis, you don't know which applications or data are critical so you can target these assets for protection first.
This is not to minimize the importance of logistics planning for recovery of other infrastructure components or the need for training, testing and change management. Fact is, however, that most of the well-defined and well-rehearsed system/network/work area recovery strategies tend to be abandoned as a matter of expediency in an actual disaster. Just as all the work you invest in mapping out every second of your next Mexican vacation may prove irrelevant when you inadvertently drink some tap water at Cozumel, the best laid recovery plans often fall prey to unforeseen events.
As you move ahead, consider making disaster recovery part of all other activities from application design to hosting platform architecture and even middleware selection in n-tier client server systems. The more that disaster recovery considerations are built into your applications and infrastructure upfront, the easier and less expensive your job will be to protect these assets after the fact.

Frank John Gorshin, Jr. (April 5, 1933 – May 17, 2005) was an American character actor, impressionist, and comedian. He was perhaps best known as an impressionist, with many guest appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and Tonight Starring Steve Allen. His most famous acting role was as The Riddler on the live-action television series Batman.
Early life
Gorshin was born on April 5, 1933 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Catholic parents Frances, a seamstress, and Frank Gorshin, Sr., a railroad worker.[1][2][3] He was of Slovenian ancestry. Frank Gorshin's father, Frank Sr., was a second-generation Slovenian American whose parents emigrated to America from Dolenjska, Slovenia. His mother, Frances or Fanny, née Prešeren, came as a young girl from Regerča Vas, near Novo Mesto, the main city of Dolenjska, or Lower Carniola, in Slovenia. Both of Frank's parents were active in Pittsburgh's thriving Slovenian community. They sang in the Slovenian Singing Society Prešeren, named after the great Slovenian poet France Prešeren. In an interview, Frances said that her son, Frank, being the product of a Slovenian home, spoke mostly Slovene before going to school.[4][5] At the age of 15, he took a part-time job as a cinema usher at the Sheridan Square Theatre.[6] He memorized the mannerisms of the screen stars he saw and created an impressionist act. He was still in high school when he obtained his first paid employment, which he secured as the prize in a Pittsburgh talent contest in 1951: a one-week engagement at Jackie Heller's New York nightclub, Carousel. His parents insisted that he take the engagement, even though his 15-year-old brother had been hit by a car and killed just two nights before.[6]
After graduation from Peabody High School, Gorshin attended the Carnegie Tech School of Drama (now known as Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh. When not studying, he worked in local plays and nightclubs.[6]
In 1953, Gorshin was drafted into the United States Army and posted to Germany. He served for a year and a half as an entertainer attached to Special Services. While in the Army, Gorshin met Maurice Bergman, who later introduced him to Hollywood agent Paul Kohner. Frank Gorshin's entire Army service record was later destroyed in the U.S. National Personnel Records Center fire of 1973.
When Gorshin left the Army, he returned to public performance, and in 1956, he became a prolific film actor. He also appeared on various television series, including the role of Hank Butts, with Michael Landon cast as Jim Mason, in the 1958 episode "Shadow of Belle Starr" of the syndicated Western series Frontier Doctor, starring Rex Allen. In 1959, he was cast in three episodes as Seaman Pulaski on Jackie Cooper's CBS military sitcom/drama, Hennesey. Thereafter, Gorshin played roles in ABC's crime drama The Untouchables. He guest-starred twelve times on CBS's The Ed Sullivan Show, the first having been on February 9, 1964, the same night that The Beatles and Davy Jones debuted.[7]
Gorshin was a popular act at nightclubs, notably those of Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was the first impressionist to headline the main showrooms.[6] He was also the first impressionist headliner at the Empire Room of New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.[6] Among his most popular impressions were of Burt Lancaster (exaggerating Lancaster's hand gestures) and Kirk Douglas (exaggerating Douglas' gritted teeth), as well as Marlon Brando (spoofing his squint).
Gorshin's slender athletic build, wide mouth, and pale eyes under strong brows were ideal characteristics for screen henchmen. In 1957, he fell asleep at the wheel of his car after driving from Pittsburgh for thirty-nine hours without sleep and crashed his car. He was on his way to a Hollywood screen test for the role of Petty Officer Ruby in Run Silent, Run Deep. He sustained a fractured skull and spent four days in a coma; a Los Angeles newspaper incorrectly reported that he had been killed.[6] The role went to Don Rickles.[8]
Gorshin's first film role was Between Heaven and Hell. In the late 1950s, Gorshin had roles in B-movies such as Hot Rod Girl (1956), Dragstrip Girl (1957) and Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957). In 1960, he was featured in Bells are Ringing, playing the Method Actor while doing a Marlon Brando impression. As a dramatic actor, he often played "tough guys" like those played by one of his favorite targets of impressions, James Cagney, whom he was said to resemble. He did take a comic turn, though, as the hipster jazz bassist Basil (paired with singer Connie Francis) in Where the Boys Are (1960), as a bumbling kidnapper in the Hayley Mills vehicle That Darn Cat! (1965), and as a boss-behind-bars for laughs in Otto Preminger's comedy Skidoo (1968).
In 1962, Gorshin was cast as Billy Roy Fix in the episode "The Fire Dancer" of the NBC modern Western television series Empire, starring Richard Egan as the rancher Jim Redigo.
He was nominated for an Emmy Award (Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Comedy) for his best remembered role as The Riddler on ABC's 1960s live-action television series Batman, starring Adam West. Gorshin's portrayal of the character included a high, deranged cackle, inspired by that of Tommy Udo (Richard Widmark) in Kiss of Death (1947). He played the Riddler in ten episodes of the series as well as the theatrical movie, although John Astin made one appearance in the role when Gorshin was unavailable. He reprised the role in the 1979 television movie Legends of the Superheroes.
Gorshin also had a memorable role in the 1969 Star Trek episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" as the bigoted half-whiteface, half-blackface alien Bele. Contrary to popular rumor and articles[9][10][11] Gorshin was not Emmy nominated for this role.[12]
In the early 1970s, Gorshin appeared on Broadway in Jimmy (1969) and Guys and Dolls (1971).
He made numerous guest-starring appearances on such television series as The Name of the Game (1969) Ironside (1974), Hawaii Five-O (1974), Get Christie Love! (1975), Charlie's Angels (1977) and Wonder Woman (1977). In 1979, he played interplanetary assassin Seton Kellogg in a two-part episode of the television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century titled "Plot to Kill a City".
During the 1980s, he appeared as the villainous Dan Wesker in the miniseries Goliath Awaits (1981), as the cantankerous King Gama in the opera Princess Ida (1982) as part of the PBS series The Compleat Gilbert and Sullivan. He played the role of Smiley Wilson on the ABC soap opera The Edge of Night (1981–82), where he used his impersonation talents to mimic other performers on the series. During this decade, he also guest starred in episodes of series like The Fall Guy (1984), Murder, She Wrote (1988) and Monsters (1989).
During the 1990s, he featured as a mobster kingpin in The Meteor Man (1993), played the evil sorcerer Brother Septimus in "The Tale of the Carved Stone" episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1993), voiced the character of Reverend Jack Cheese in an episode of The Ren and Stimpy Show (1995). Notably, he appeared in Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys (1995) as the gruff superior to Madeleine Stowe's psychiatrist.
In his final years, Gorshin portrayed comedian George Burns on Broadway in the one-man show Say Goodnight, Gracie (2002), which was nominated for a 2003 Tony Award for best play[13][14] and was reunited with several of his Batman colleagues in the television movie Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt, in which he appeared as himself. Gorshin died on the day of the telefilm's DVD release. He played the strict legendary Harvard Law School Professor, John H. Keynes, in the Korean drama Love Story in Harvard (2004), voiced villain Hugo Strange in three 2005 episodes of The Batman animated series. He also voiced the characters Marius and Lysander in the computer role playing game Diablo II.
Gorshin's last television appearance was in "Grave Danger", an episode of the CBS series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation which aired two days after his death; the episode, which was directed by Quentin Tarantino, was dedicated to his memory. While he was known for his impressions, his role on CSI was as himself.
Personal life
On April 8, 1957, Gorshin married Christina Randazzo. They had one son, Mitchell, and later separated but remained married until his death.[8]
Gorshin's final live appearance was a Memphis performance of Say Goodnight, Gracie. He finished his performance and boarded a plane for Los Angeles on April 25, 2005. After he experienced severe breathing difficulty during the flight, the attendants gave him an emergency oxygen mask. Upon landing, Gorshin was met by an ambulance which took him to the hospital, where he later died on May 17, 2005, at age 72 from lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia. Gorshin had been a heavy smoker for most of his adult life, consuming up to five packs of cigarettes a day. Adam West claimed that "Frank could reduce a cigarette to ash with one draw." When he did nightclub performances or live shows, audiences were warned not to attend if they disliked smoking, as he would often smoke onstage.
He is interred at the Calvary Catholic Cemetery in the Hazelwood section of Pittsburgh.

Zambia will never be led by a Tonga president- Masebo
Tourism Minister Sylvia Masebo says Zambia will never be led by a Tonga president because the Southerners are not willing to embrace other tribes.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Livingstone today, Masebo said the Tonga people were being used to perpetrate tribal politics.
But Garry Nkombo, said people should vote for Hakainde Hichilema on merit.
"Let us vote for HH because he is good and not because he is Tonga, don't be used in politics of tribalism. We should not agree to tribalism. We should reject this because some of you are married to Bembas; some of you are married to Lozis. We can't have a country based on tribe," she said.
Masebo charged that Hichilema was a president for Southern Province only.
She said the candidate that the UPND had fielded in the Livingstone parliamentary by-election was bad.
"They think you are blind, so you must say no.

It isn't really difficult to find winners in horse racing just like it isn't difficult to buy shares in stocks that rise. The reason why people don't make money buying shares or why most of them don't is because of dealer spreads, slippage and not following the fundamentals of trading. Transaction costs are the death knell of people that trade on shares as well as having insufficient information. The transaction costs in horse racing are given to us in the form of the bookmakers overround. When all of the odds of the all of the competitors are added together then the figure should be 100%.
The fact that it isn't means that the difference between what the real figure should be and what the bookmakers give you is their potential profit margin! It isn't difficult to find a winner in a horse race……a novice with no knowledge of horse racing could find the likely winner simply by looking at who the favourite was. The bookmakers allow you to bet on whatever horse you want with one exception……you have to take the odds that they present to you.
I often discuss betting on my poker blog quite a lot and whether you are betting in horse racing or poker, betting skill is still the same. To beat the bookmakers then you need an edge and that comes from either them being wrong about the odds or you having inside knowledge. Unfortunately for us the betting firms are not often wrong.
Most of the industry follows the leaders who have the best odds compilers and the best contacts. So when they make their first show then the rest of the betting firms quickly base their tissue around that. So you are in effect taking on an industry that has the collective wisdom that encompasses the finest betting minds in the country and the best contacts.
There is simply no room for error but there is a way to get the better of bookmakers and it is to bet against the mug money. Quite often the betting firms will price up a race knowing that certain odds are wrong but are willing to allow that to happen because they know that the mugs will steam into much shorter odds than they should about a well hyped horse.
So the answer to the question of "can you beat the bookies" is that essentially you cannot. This is simply because you cannot possibly stop them from taking money from mugs and so essentially you cannot defeat their strategy by stopping them from making money. What your goal is in betting is to divert some of their profits from the mugs across to you and that is how you beat them. Essentially you are fighting for a percentage of the mug money and the mug money travels from the mugs to the bookmakers and then rapidly to shrewd punters.

text: A remarkably candid book on what we know and (mostly) what we don't know about evolution and extinction. Raup, a ``statistical'' paleontologist at the Univ. of Chicago, is best known for his popular exposition of a theory that extinctions come in 25-million- year cycles, an idea that spawned the notion that the sun had a dark companion (``Nemesis'') that periodically triggered cometary showers that wrecked havoc on earth. Maybe not Nemesis, Raup says, but he still holds out for periodicity and mass killing via meteor impact. Before reviewing theories of extinction, Raup provides useful insights and details on evolution and a number of tables illustrating time scales, percentages of organisms dying, etc., as well as a philosophical discussion of the value of extinction. He argues that an extinction-free world might not lead to as much diversity as the world has enjoyed. We can't be sure, but would birds or whales or humans have evolved in the absence of the terrain created after mass killings of other species? Everywhere, he urges caution--the data are not available; people are distressingly anthropomorphic as well as suspicious of unearthly theories of extinction. In a wonderful tour de force, he lays out the arguments and counterarguments for the theory that large impact craters are the cause for mass extinctions. Both sides are convincing. In the end, Raup makes a strong case that extinction is necessary for evolution and largely blind to the fitness of organisms. A first strike, such as human intervention or an epidemic disease, may trigger the beginning of extinction. So may bad genes. But, overall, bad luck is more likely. While the book is important for what it has to say about life on earth, it is also a marvelous exposition of think and double-think in science.

So I've Had My Lips Done
"Lip augmentation is a type of cosmetic surgery or non-surgical procedure that aims to alter the appearance of the lips by increasing their fullness through enlargement using fillers." – Wikipedia
I suppose this is a very taboo subject in society at the minute with the rise of cosmetic procedures. To be precise, stats by the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) reveal that there has been a 12.6% rise in the UK in 2015 which is a far cry from a 9% dip in 2014. So why are cosmetic procedures becoming so popular? Why are we as a nation turning to cosmetic surgery? Is it the media, celebs perhaps? Or are we as individuals unhappy with how we look? Not necessarily… says me.
I've made no attempt to hide the fact that I've had a breast augmentation, in fact I want people to know. I'm proud of my breasts and my decision, I'm actually planning on putting together a post on my breast enlargement journey because I know other young girls like me would want to read an honest, personal account of the process. I've also had my lips done, four times now and I'm only 20 years old *gasps* which is why I want to discuss this subject. I want to mention too that personally, I think I am confident young women, I don't dislike the way I look, I do not struggle with low self esteem, I do not hate myself. In fact people make comments all the time that I love myself and I'm vain but my reply? Who's gunna' love if I don't love myself? (HAHA!) I can hear you asking me now, so why did I/do I feel the need to get cosmetic procedures? Simply to better myself.

There are so many negative rumors spread around the internet, the television especially shows like botched up bodies around cosmetic procedures that are often wrongly portraying the final outcomes and experiences. I feel the people that are shown on these shows are very unlucky, they are the 1 out of 100 examples of when things can go wrong and also people who have extreme obsession with cosmetic procedures. I'm not saying these people didn't do their research and consider the risks because I'm sure they did but again I hear time and time again stories, in particular Marnie from Geordie Shore when she was offered a free breast up lift which went drastically wrong. I've actually watched a program where she admits she just rushed into the idea and things like cosmetic surgery can not be rushed. When I got my boobs done, I researched the company I went with, the surgeon I went with, the implants I choose, the size I choose, when I would need them re-doing and also thought about how it would change my figure, my posture, my pose and my size and this also applied to when I choose to get my lips done. Research and thought is key!
When I say I've had my lips done done four times, I mean once every year. You are recommend to get them done every 6 months however due to funds and because I am so scared of ruining my rose bud shape, I don't want to over do it! On Monday I had them done and I wanted to share what it's actually like and my experience.
A lip injection contains substances similar to hyaluronic acid which is a natural substance found in the body and helps improve the volume in your lips. It's a pretty useful beauty ingredient because it's able to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. I had 1ml of Juvederm injected around my lip on Monday which is the most commonly used dermal filler now days, when fillers first came about Collagen was mainly used as filler. The benefits of using Hyaluronic acid fillers include:
- Lip volume and Shaping. The amount of substance injected can be controlled, so the nurse or doctor has better control over how much lip volume is created and where in your lip shape.
- Bumps dissolve easily. Any lumps and bumps created by movement of the lips can be dissolved easily.
- Less bruising. There may be less bruising and swelling compared to other dermal fillers (however this time I've had quite a bit of bruising around my top lip, who said beauty wasn't pain ey?)
- Reasonably lasting results. The results are reasonably long-lasting, around 3-6 months to be exact depending how your body reacts to it.
- Allergic reaction unlikely. Because hyaluronic acid fillers are made from substances similar to those found in the body, they are unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.
If your considering getting lip fillers, I'd advise you do your research on the company or nurse/doctor your considering taking the procedure with. Be willing to pay the price, don't cut corners this is a serious procedure that can affect your appearance. Make sure you take into consideration the risks, the swelling, the bruising. Don't be scared, you apply numbing cream before and then by the time the needle is injected you don't feel a thing. And lastly, don't get caught up in the desired luck, I might have had 1ml injected but that doesn't mean I'm going to look like a Kylie Jenner or botched for that matter!
If anyone has any questions for me on lip fillers please feel free to drop me a line or comment.
Me having a pout with my new lips…

Beginning Sewing - Setting Up Your Sewing Area
What you really need is a work surface where you can use your sewing machine. You can make do with a kitchen table or office desk if you must. You will probably become tired or sore more quickly at a workstation of this type because it is really too high. A better choice is a sewing machine cabinet. There are cabinets where your sewing machine actually attaches to the inside of the cabinet or cabinets where your machine sits in a lowered area of the top surface and can be lifted out. Either type of table only requires a small amount of floor space and some of the built-in types allow the machine to drop down when not in use then half of the table top folds over, turning the unit into a small multi-purpose table.
Most sewing cabinets also have some sort of storage. Some have cabinet doors that swing open to allow knee room when you are sitting at them and, mounted inside the doors, there are spindles for storing thread spools. Some cabinets have drawers for your sewing tools and accessories. You will undoubtedly need more storage space than your sewing cabinet provides so you might want to consider some other storage as well.
Sets of plastic drawers on casters normally sold for craft storage, scrapbooking storage, etc. are a good alternative because you can easily roll them wherever you need them. Other options are stackable plastic boxes. They can even be hidden away in a closet. The storage boxes that fit under your bed can be used too. Better yet, sew a storage device! You can find creative projects for storage in all kinds of places. Just keep your eyes open.
12-14" long magnetic bars for holding tools can be mounted to a wall. They can be found for about $10 a pair at the hardware store. The magnets are strong and easily hold sheers, scissors, seam rippers, and even whole packages of needles.
Fabric storage and pattern storage are the two biggest issues. For fabric, if you don't have a dedicated sewing room, some choices are those under-the-bed boxes with lids to keep the dust out. Another option is to fold each piece of fabric over a wire clothes hanger and hang in it a closet.
There are cardboard boxes you can buy that are just the right size for patterns but if you don't fold the pattern just right to get it back in the original package, they won't fit anymore. Standard file folder storage boxes from any office supply store work better. Two patterns will fit side by side along the longer (legal size) side and if you have one that won't go back in the package, stick it in a clear ziplock freezer bag to keep all the pieces together and it will still fit in the file folder box.
A great way to store current projects you are working on, whether it's a pattern being altered or cut pieces you haven't sewn together yet, is to fold them over a wire clothes hanger and clip a regular clothes-pin or two on to hold everything. Then put the hanger in a closet. When you are ready to work again, simply pull the hanger out and everything is there together and flat and ready to go. If you have several projects on the go at once, make sure the pattern name or number is facing out when you hang it. Then you can easily look through the hangers to find the one you want. You can even attach the original pattern envelope to the hanger with a clothespin for easy identification.
For cutting out patterns, most people use their kitchen table, a craft table, the floor, or even their bed. Any large flat surface will do. Again, if the surface is too high or too low for you, you will find you get tired or sore quickly. An ideal surface is a table with a hard, smooth surface that is 30-36" high (if you stand to cut). If you like to sit down to cut, a 26-30" high table is better. The table should ideally be about 4 -6 feet long and a width you can comfortably reach across. If you prefer to cut from a sitting position, make your table narrow enough that you can reach across it from your chair.
If you can afford it, the largest size cutting mat available for use with a rotary cutter makes a great table top. I actually use my table more for pattern adjusting and pressing than I do for cutting. A layer of ¼" thick cork is glued (with contact cement) to the arborite top of the table, allowing me to pin straight down into it. The cork seems to be heat resistant too. I plan to glue another layer of cork to the existing one to give the pins a little more to stick into. I tape a layer of plain white paper over the cork and use a marking pen to mark a grid or part of a grid on the paper. I need these lines to keep everything square when altering patterns. When needed, I replace the paper.
If I want a large surface for use with the rotary cutter, I use two cutting mats taped together on the bottom side with duct tape. I have to snip a thread or two the blade misses where the joint in the cutting board is but that's not a big deal. These smaller mats fold up for easy storage and I'm back to my cork table again.
Next you need to think about a pressing area. As you sew, it is necessary to press seams. An iron and ironing board will do the job but, in a pinch, you can layer several towels on an arborite table or counter and use that. (The iron's heat may damage some surfaces.) You can even buy special heat-resistant material to cover your surface with, making it more suitable for ironing on. The cork table works well to press on too.
An ironing board isn't ideal for pressing while sewing. It really isn't wide enough or sturdy enough. When you are adhering interfacing, for example, you need to put quite a lot of pressure on the iron. Your ironing board may crumble under that pressure but a counter-top or a table can take the pressure as long as it can also take the heat and steam.
The chair you sit in while sewing is very important. A comfortable one that swivels and rolls is a very good choice. Bear in mind that your feet must reach the floor to work the sewing machine pedal. Good back support will enable you to sew in comfort for longer periods of time.
Flooring in your sewing area is a bit controversial. I prefer linoleum so when pins drop they are easy to pick up (use a magnetic pin holder for quick retrieval) and for smooth and easy rolling of the chair but some people prefer carpet because it's softer to stand on.
A smooth floor has the disadvantage of allowing the foot pedal to scoot around. This can be solved by putting a small rectangle of rubber shelf liner under the pedal. The same material under a serger will keep it from vibrating around on its table too.
One of the most important reasons I have a dedicated sewing room with a door is to keep my cats out. Not only don't I want their hair on every project I make but if they play with spools of thread and get it caught on their rough tongues, they will swallow a bunch of it that will hurt them internally. Cats and thread don't mix!
My sewing room also has a TV and a DVD/VCR so I can watch sewing programs or whatever as I sew. If you're not a TV addict like me, perhaps you would enjoy some music or a relaxing mix of nature sounds while you sew.
A window is nice if you can manage that. With or without a window, excellent lighting is extremely important (especially as your eyes get older). Set up whatever lamps you need so your eyes are not straining. Try to find natural daylight simulation bulbs so colors will appear accurate. You don't want to put a dark navy zipper in a black pair of pants by accident!
For convenience, I also keep a portable phone handy while I'm sewing. It never fails, the phone always rings when my hands are full. Also keep a bottle of water nearby. Bottles don't spill as easily as glasses.
Sewing can be such an enjoyable, relaxing experience that you might be surprised how many hours will fly by. I try to set aside 1 or 2 days each weekend to sew. That's my little treat to myself after working all week. My washer and dryer are in the sewing room so I do laundry as I sew and I find it a very efficient use of my time. Sewing makes the tedious chore of laundry more enjoyable.
Happy Sewing!

Charity calls for welfare re-think
By: Lexi Metherell
TONY EASTLEY: The Federal Government is under pressure to lift the Newstart Allowance, and now another front has opened up in the welfare debate.
A leading charity has called for the Government to do more to get people off the Disability Support Pension and into work.
In an opinion piece in today's News Limited papers, the chief executive of Mission Australia says the welfare system needs a big re-think.
Lexi Metherell reports.
LEXI METHERILL: The Treasurer's in the middle of putting together May's budget, with about $380 billion in revenue. He will devote approximately one third of that to welfare payments.
TOBY HALL: The welfare budget is massive in Australia; it's one of the hugest components of our tax system, and we don't think it should be that big.
LEXI METHERILL: Toby Hall is the chief executive of Mission Australia. He wants to see more people off welfare and in work, and he's targeting the number of people receiving the Disability Support Pension.
TOBY HALL: There's 825,000 people on that benefit. It's grown 280 per cent over the last 30 years, and we're saying the system is failing; those people want to work, they need the right support to work. Let's actually start doing that rather than leaving them on this benefit for some time; it's what seems like a lifetime.
LEXI METHERILL: The Community Services Minister Jenny Macklin's office says the Government has introduced reforms to the system such as tighter eligibility criteria and better support measures. And the number of DSP recipients has been declining since 2011 for the first time since 2006.
Mission Australia's Toby Hall concedes the Government has been getting people off the DSP, but he says at too slow a rate.
TOBY HALL: And if you look at the total number - 825,000 - we've seen one of the first decreases in the last 30 years take place of 6,000 recently, but that's a pretty small number and historically there's been very few people going back into work off this benefit. And we're saying it's time to arrest that; let's actually go full scale, let's put the effort and investment in and help those people back into our workforce.
LEXI METHERILL: What needs to change for that to happen, and how much will it cost?
TOBY HALL: It needs proper investment from the Government. Firstly, they need to assess the real issues that people with disability have properly to make sure that the barriers they have to employment are fully understood.
Then it needs investment: help those people in training and development to get them job-ready. It needs to assess also the additional supports they need to get into work. So in some cases, computer adjustment or hearing support adjustment within the workplace people need, that needs investment. And thirdly, it needs corporates to stand up and say, we will help in the journey to get people with disabilities back into our workforces as well.
LEXI METHERILL: The last major review of the welfare system was carried out in the year 2000. It's time for another one, says Toby Hall.
TOBY HALL: There needs to be a full review of the welfare system to actually say, how do we actually create a welfare system which is helping those people who need help, who can't work - but actually making sure that everyone else who can that they're given them every support we can to get them back in to the workforce.
TONY EASTLEY: The chief executive of Mission Australia, Toby Hall, ending Lexi Metherell's report.

+Alzheimer's Reading Room
"I have to tell you something horrible, Marie. I was beaten this morning."
I gasped. How could this be?
|Subscribe to the Alzheimer's Reading Room
"My body hurts all over," he continued, his voice cracking. "They knocked me on the floor and beat me with their fists and kicked me with their feet. I wish you had been here to make them stop. They wouldn't stop."
He sounded so coherent and convincing that in a moment of sheer terror I found myself wondering if maybe someone had hit him. News of abuse in nursing homes flashed before my eyes and I felt nauseous. I knew mistreatment did occur in such facilities, but it couldn't possibly happen at the Alois Center.
Could it?
I closed my eyes and a vivid picture of Ed, so frail and helpless, being punched in the face came into my mind's eye. I winced as though someone had just hit me full force. I jumped up from the sofa and started pacing the floor. I always paced the floor when I was upset.
"Six aides beat me for half an hour without stopping a moment," he cried out. "And it was led by my good friend – my aide, June. I called out for help but no one paid any attention. No one came to help. They just kept hitting me."
I struggled to breathe.
It was conceivable that one bad apple could have found its way onto the Alois Center's superb staff, but not six. While one aide could hit a resident in a closed-door room, six could never hide their actions. So I was convinced that the whole story was a delusion.
Nonetheless, I was still shaking and felt dizzy. I sat down on the sofa again and collapsed into the cushions. He seemed so lucid – more so than he'd been for months – and he made this whole sordid story sound so real. It stalled me for a while until I finally figured out an appropriate response.
"Ed, I think you're a little confused," I said, trying to calm both him and myself. "I think you must have had a bad dream. I don't think anyone there beat you."
"I can understand why you're skeptical," he said, still sounding perfectly cogent. "I understand why you think it was a dream because it's such a horrible thing no one would believe it."
He lowered his voice.
"But I can assure you Kitty, it wasn't a dream. It's true. I have the bruises to prove it. And I have witnesses," he said, his voice trembling. Then he resumed in a louder tone of voice, "I called my lawyer, Stuart Susskind, and there's going to be a trial. It will be proven that they beat me. They will all go to jail for a long time."
His tone of voice and all the details he provided made me waver. He even remembered his lawyer's name.
I was devastated because it was obvious Ed was suffering emotionally just as much as if he had been beaten. Worse still, there was nothing I could do to make his nightmare go away. Ed was in distress and I couldn't help him at all.
Although when I went to visit Ed the next day, he had forgotten all about the supposed incident, memories of that conversation haunted me for days.

STREAM: The Radio Dept. - Never Follow Suit EP
Updated with official "Never Follow Suit" video.
Though Swedish indie pop trio The Radio Dept. have only released three LP's in nearly a decade, they have always put out a string of EP's in between. 2009's David EP created quite a buzz amidst the blogosphere in anticipation of this year's acclaimed Clinging On A Scheme. Supported with songs as endearing and unforgettable as "Heaven's On Fire" and "Never Follow Suit," the record received a glowing response from fans and critics, the former released as a single in February, the latter a few days ago as an EP.
Alongside three new songs, and a lengthy trip hop remix by Pistol Disco, Never Follow Suit EP finds the outfit meddling with the familiar shoegaze and dream pop genres, whilst shifting into the land of dub. It kind of plays like a long single, with the exception of the tedious remix, "The One's" hazy keyboards leading into "Never Follow Suit," instrumental "Stay Off Route"'s gradual blend of dub and bass reoccurring in "On Your Side." Johan Duncanson's distinct reverberated vocalization helps fabricate the dreamy landscapes and certain inkling of nostalgia The Radio Dept is infamous for; backed with the aforementioned dub, Never Follow Suit indicates the trio is broadening their horizons, if only slightly. Let's hope we don't have to wait four years til their next album. Listen to the whole EP:

The Jersey Canoe Club Nordkapp meet got under way on Friday evening with a small reception and a photo opportunity at the Club premises at St Catherine's.
There were 22 Nordkapp's on showing, varying not just in model type but also in age. The oldest was an orange and white Nordkapp HM, which had been produced before the introduction of recessed deck fittings. This probably dates it to about 1977. The most recent kayak was a Nordkapp Forti, which was available for people to try.
The evening was an opportunity to look at kayaks, chat with friends about paddling and to meet Sam Cook, our weekend guest. In addition planning the paddle for Saturday, from Ouaisne around Corbiere and into the reefs near La Rocco Tower.
On the Saturday we were able to show Sam some of the most interesting paddling in Jersey waters, granite cliffs, tide races and lighthouses, offshore reefs and North Atlantic swells. A perfect backdrop to our Nordkapp meet. It was just amazing to see so many of the classic kayaks out on the water at the same time.
On Saturday evening Sam gave a talk on the 1975 Nordkapp expedition, which was fascinating. So many things that we take for granted came about as a result of that innovative trip:
Buoyancy aids (PFD's) with pockets
Asymmetric paddle blades
It was a truly ground breaking expedition, which set the scene for so many more which followed. Without the Norkapp meet people would have not had the opportunity to experience and learn what an influence this sea kayak has had on modern paddling. There was still two days of paddling to go!

FRANKFURT, Germany — The dollar rose Tuesday against the euro and other major currencies amid concern over the future of European integration ahead of the Dutch referendum on the European Union's constitution.
In afternoon European trading Tuesday, the 12-nation euro dropped as low as $1.2312 before edging back up to $1.2318 — more than a cent below the $1.2466 it bought late Monday.
The British pound fell to $1.8180 from $1.8227 on Monday. The dollar rose to 108.22 Japanese yen from 107.97 yen.
On Sunday, French voters roundly rejected the document — creating uncertainty about the European Union's future and raising the prospect that international investors could become more wary of putting money in European assets.
The EU constitution faces another test when the Netherlands votes Wednesday, with polls indicating strong resistance toward it there. Nine countries, including Germany have approved the document — mostly through parliamentary votes.
Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank, said the continent is facing a difficult time in the aftermath of the French vote.
"After the French referendum and before the Dutch referendum, we are facing today a difficult moment for Europe and for our 458 million European fellow citizens," he said during a speech in Montreal on Monday.
But he was optimistic that the EU would weather any crisis.
"I am sure that Europeans will together find the way allowing them to overcome present difficulties as they did it in the past."
While it has taken a knock this week, the euro remains strong overall. It dropped against the U.S. currency after its 1999 introduction, but surged to an all-time high of $1.3667 at the end of last year amid worries about the wide U.S. trade and budget deficits.

Home / Travel Guides / Peru
If you like natural history and archaeological sites, Peru is for you. Incan ruins and spread throughout the country, including the grand daddy of them all, Machu Picchu. Peru also has the Cordillera Blanca range in the Andes that will satisfy all your hiking and mountain climbing needs. Don't forget to grab a bottle of Inca Kola. Drink what the Incans drank!
City Guides
The Girls
The girls are significantly better than across the border in Ecuador or Bolivia. Their faces are less harsh with gentler slops, more appealing eyes, and curvier bodies with meatier asses—but you are still hurting when compared to the girls in a large American city. Head to Lima for the hottest girls the country has to offer and Cuzco for aggressive girls that will do almost anything to get the attention of a gringo.
Basic set lunch: $1.50
Bottle of big beer: $1.50
Cappuccino: $1.00
Internet per hour: $0.50
Hostel dorm bed per night: $7.00
Nice steak dinner: $6.00
Short taxi ride: $1.00
Postcard stamp: $0.80
Lima suffers the usual crime like any other typical large South American city. Most small to medium sized towns are pretty safe, but there are reports of robberies in Cuzco and Huaraz on trails outside the city.

Peru Guidebook
If you're only going to visit only Peru then I recommend you get this guide, which is far more detailed than the continental guide below, with options that cater to a range of budgets instead of only the shoestring backpacking crowd. Also it gives more respectable treatment to small cities and towns that the larger guide breezes over with a paragraph or two.
South America On A Shoestring Guidebook
This is the guidebook that I used in my six month trip in South America. The maps are excellent, the information is complete and thorough, and the reviews are accurate, which is why it's often called "the bible" by many travelers. The only problem is that everyone else has this book so if you are the type of person that wants to hit the isolated small towns you will be disappointed. My advice is to use this book for its maps and information on getting from city to city, but talk to the locals and other travelers for those isolated gems that Lonely Planet for some reason didn't find worthy to include.
Spanish For Beginners
My copy of this book is so beat up and weathered it's disintegrating before my eyes. I took it with me to South America because I loved how it was organized in a logical way that kept me motivated to keep studying. Lessons start short and easy and increase in complexity as you tackle frustrating readings that help take you to the next level. The only downside of this book is that it was originally published in 1957 so some of the vocabulary is very dated. Still, you'll be hard-pressed to find a modern equivalent of this book whose teachings approach the same quality. Last time I checked you can grab a used copy from Amazon for less than a dollar.
Great place that Peru, but one has to take extra precautions against illnesses, fraud and theft…
The latter ones are often forgotten by travelers.
Naive Gringos and Japanese tourists stop and talk with almost anyone…
I guess the best way to keep yourself from possible problems is to be polite, yet categorical and say "No, gracias!"
As for attractions… I guess Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley and the Titicaca region top everything 🙂11 years, 4 months ago
I agree on Machu Picchu being the top of the tops…
But places like Kuelap and Iquitos are far more interesting than Titicaca… in my opinion
Hey I'm a big guy 6'3″ approx 300 lbs will I have problems with the ladies in Peru?my other draw back is I speak very little spainish. What's your opinion?
good write up, a fun country where the girls really like gringos

Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in [our] protection from suffering.
The Love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering.
The Love of God did not protect His own Son...
...He will not necessarily protect us - not from anything it takes to make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process.~ Elisabeth Elliot
{Passion and Purity, Pg 84}
So God is love. He is the Love that many persons abuse, saying "If God is love then I should be happy." Or "I should have this or that." Oh no, because God is Love you shan't have this or that; you will live on caster oil, weekly baths, early bedtime, early rising, hours of prayer on your knees, and learning how to deal with annoying so-and-so.
Love does not protect us from everything, certainly not hardship and difficulty. Love allows trials in order to make us like Christ Jesus Himself. It is Love which desires our best, not what is easy. It is Love that calls for discipline when we sin, for discipleship as a way of life. It is Love that won't let us "get away with murder" - or gossip, or slander, or lust, or white lies, or anything else we pass off as "minor sin".
Oh God, why do You have to love me? It hurts so much!
No wait, He doesn't have to love me. He chooses to. And I choose to attempt loving Him back, though my efforts are feeble. My love for Him is not a correcting, consuming fire (how can the imperfect creation be the standard for the perfect Creator?). Instead, my love is humble gratitude for His patience with me, for His desire to not leave me as I am, for His willingness to redeem me with the blood of His own Son.
Oh Love, You feel like death because you prune wickedness out of my heart! Oh Love, Your sharp shears clip selfishness off at the root over and over again! Oh Love, You cannot leave me wild and overgrown like You found me. You carefully prune and tame me, cleaning dirty branches, clipping others, shearing some off completely. By helping me say "no" to the bondage of sin I am free to live righteously. In obedience there is freedom. In discipline and trimming there is order and life.
What feels like death is death, and yet it is life, too. What a paradox and great mystery. What painful kindness of Him called Love.

The SearchLarge Print - 2010
To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life-a quaint house on an island off Seattle's coast, a thriving dog-training school, and a challenging volunteer job performing canine search and rescues. Not to mention her three intensely loyal Labs. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare...
Several years ago, Fiona was the only survivor of the Red Scarf serial killer, who shot and killed Fiona's cop fiancé and his K-9 partner.
On Orcas Island, Fiona found the peace and solitude she needed to rebuild her life. But all that changes on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her drive, desperate for her help. He's the reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, foisted upon him by his mother. Jaws has eaten through Simon's house, and he's at his wit's end.
To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can't handle. Simon, however, is another matter. A newcomer to Orcas, he's a rugged and in-tensely private artist, known for the exquisite furniture he creates from wood. Simon never wanted a puppy-and he most definitely doesn't want a woman. Besides, the lanky redhead is not his type. But tell that to his hormones.
As Fiona embarks on training Jaws, and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona's life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands...

I really enjoyed this book -- Nora has done a great job, as always. I loved the dogs, the training and the search and rescue segments. The reluctant romance between Fiona and Simon was at times frustrating and you wanted to 'kick both of them in the backside' but it was also touching and I loved it. I recommend this book for everyone -- and especially Nora Roberts fans. Enjoy.
One of my favorite Nora Roberts books. Suspense, humor, devotion, love, stubburn, dogs--has it all.
I really enjoyed this book. The dog training and search and rescue was great. The romance between Fiona and Simon was wonderful. The language wasn't necessary.
Sorry, but I really hated this book. It's more like everything you want to know about dog training and not much story. I found the women to be vulgar - do they really need to say f**k so many times? Simon is extremely obnoxious and not likeable from beginning to end. Not one of Roberts' best.
Excellent read. Five stars for a reason. Loved the dogs. Loved the search and rescue sections, also enjoyed the somewhat quirky romance. Would recommend both to dog lovers, and to love story, with scary moments, readers.
Enjoyed this book, but more for the dog lore than anything else. Not a romance fan, so she could've went a little softer on that angle for me and played up the canine-search-team angle a bit more.
Very enjoyable, in particular if you are both a Nora Roberts fan and a dog lover like me. I also loved the Pacific Northwest setting.

Aiki in the interstices
1 comment:
Nice post-- once again, as soon as thought i knew something, some uppety black belt goes and blows my mind and makes me think of everything differently. (insert chuckle here) I'll be mulling over that one for a while, Patriclus.ReplyDelete
I've got a cool story by the way, in the same theme of mytchiko kicking ass though blind.
My mother was born without one hip, and broke the other at the age of three, resulting in around thirty surgeries to date including several hip replacements, and surgery on her back. Needless, to say, she does not move too well on her feet.
Anyway, to the point. At work last week, she was physically attacked by a woman. The woman ran into her full speed and tried to knock my mother on her ass. My mother instinctively grabbed onto two points on the woman torso, used the womans forward momentum to spin her around, and pinned the woman on the floor, almost giving her attacker a concusion from the fall.
I would like to take some credit for her reaction-- ive showed her the dramatic effects that simple lateral motion can have on an attacker who is attached to you-- but i dont think i deserve it. I just think its cool that my mother, who can barely walk, completely nuetralized such a potentially dangerous situation with some rather bitchin aiki/judo. Anyway, i just thought I'd share that.
Later, Patriclus.

Teaching Resource
Grammar Game – Name That Noun!
A fun game for students to play in small groups to consolidate their understanding of nouns.
Students will love challenging each other using this fun, engaging grammar game. Perfect for use during literacy group rotations!
Print out and laminate copies of the score sheets and letter cards. Four different versions of the score sheets are included to provide variety for repeated play.
A letter card is flipped over at the beginning of each round. Students must use this letter to write nouns next to every category on their score sheet within a limited time period e.g. one minute. Students then compare their responses to the other players in the group and allocate points according to the rules set out on the instruction page.
More comprehensive instructions on how to play the game are included in the resource.
