KINGSTON, Jamaica:
A defence lawyer in the murder case involving three policemen from Clarendon charged with a 2012 murder is to write to the Director of Public Prosecutions for certain disclosures to be made in the case.
Attorney-at-law, Carolyn Reid-Cameron, told a court of her decision when the matter was called up yesterday.
Constables Whitney Hutchinson, Shannon-Ceon Allen and Sergeant Mario Taylor are charged with the murder of Adolphus Reader from Clarendon in 2012.
Reid-Cameron, who represents Allen and Taylor, told the court that disclosure is to be made in relation to a statement from a deputy superintendent.
However, the lawyer representing the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) said the statement was not necessary.
Reid-Cameron then indicated to the court that she would still be writing the Director of Public Prosecution in order to get the statement.
The case was adjourned until January 14.
The Crown is alleging that on February 28, 2012, two of the cops entered a room where 25-year-old Reader also called 'Big Eye' was fatally shot during a confrontation.
Witnesses said the police had a conversation with the man before shooting him.
INDECOM brought the charges against the three cops earlier this year as part of an investigation into claims that teams of police are set up to kill alleged gangsters.

PIESTANY, Slovakia - Mathew Barzal scored the winning goal and an assist as Canada opened its defence of its U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup title with a 5-1 win over Switzerland on Monday.
Canada has won the summer hockey tournament six years in a row, and 18 of the past 23 times since it began in 1991.
The Canadians took a step toward adding another title by spreading the scoring out and getting a solid performance in goal from Zachary Sawchenko.
Dylan Strome, Lawson Crouse, Mitchell Vande Sompel and Mitchell Stephens had the other goals for Canada, while Sawchenko made 20 saves.
"We've jelled together quite a bit lately, and it's really easy for me to play in front of this group," Sawchenko said.
Canada coach Jody Hull said the team is coming together despite having just three practices and one exhibition game before Monday's contest.
"Everything's happening pretty quick with this group of guys, but they're all professional and they all understand what it takes to win," Hull said.
Dominik Schmid had the lone goal for Switzerland. Tim Guggisberg gave up all five Canada goals on 27 shots, while Joren Van Pottelberghe stopped all nine shots he faced in relief.
Canada continues group play against Sweden on Tuesday.
"We're going to expect speed," goaltending coach Corey Hirsch said of the Swedes. "They're always a quick team and they'll be well coached. You've got to be patient, attack when you can attack and play a smarter game."
Canada started quickly with Strome scoring at 7:27 of the first period. Barzal, who played with Canada's bronze-winning team at the U18 world championships earlier this year, made it 2-0 under three minutes later.
Crouse and Vande Sompel scored in the first half of the second period to give Canada a 4-0 lead halfway though the game.
Schmid scored one minute after Vande Sompel's goal to give Switzerland some life.
"We got out of our comfort zone a little bit, but as the game wet on I thought we got back to playing the proper way," Hull said.
Stephens got Canada back on track with a goal at 2:21 of the third period, and the Canadians shut Switzerland down for the victory.
Both teams struggled on the power play, with Canada going 0-for-6 and Switzerland going 0-for-5.

Apple retook the No. 1 spot in global smartphone shipments in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to a new report from research firm IHS.
In doing so, Apple managed to knock Samsung out of the top-ranked position it held in the third quarter. From store shelves to courtrooms, the two companies are locked in a vicious battle for mobile-device supremacy.
"Apple's introduction of the [iPhone] 4S in the fourth quarter unleashed tremendous pent-up demand for the iPhone as consumers awaited the arrival of the latest model," Wayne Lam, an IHS analyst, wrote in a statement accompanying that research note. "This caused the company's smartphone shipments to surge, allowing it to retake market leadership by a slight margin."
That sets up Apple and Samsung for a grand battle in 2012, one where victoryor at least the top spot in global smartphone shipmentswill hinge on the success or failure of two very different strategies. Samsung will almost certainly opt to continue its approach from 2011, which Lam defines as "offering a complete line of smartphone products, spanning a variety of price points, features and operating systems." Chances are likewise excellent that Apple will maintain its own longtime stratagem: Market a single current-generation "hero device," with price cuts to its limited line of older smartphones.
Right now, Apple's hero device is the iPhone 4S. It's widely expected, however, that the company will release an iPhone 5 in either the summer or fall timeframe. According to current rumors, the next iPhone will deviate radically from its predecessors, with a larger screen and perhaps a more powerful processor.
Meanwhile, Samsung is reportedly prepping its own hero device for 2012, the Galaxy S III. But that's just one of the multiple smartphones offered by the manufacturer. Google is prepping its next major upgrade to Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, which could bring the platform more on parity with Apple's iOS. And the Android Marketplace continues to fill with third-party apps, the better to battle toe-to-toe with Apple's App Store.
In other words, Apple's spectacular fourth quarter may have given it momentum heading into 2012but Samsung (and other Android device makers) won't let Cupertino solidify those gains without a fight. With regard to the broader mobile-device arena, Apple's iPad will also compete with Samsung's Galaxy Tab franchise (and other Android tablets) for touch-screen dominance.

Radiation Oncology Corner: Advocacy Day at the Capitol
WSRS Advocacy Day
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend Advocacy Day through our ACR state chapter, the Washington State Radiological Society (WSRS). This was my first foray into direct advocacy and I was pleasantly surprised by what a successful, informative, and important day it was.
We started the morning as a group on a bus that took us from Seattle to Olympia, the state capital. We were debriefed on several issues at hand and also had a great discussion about our stance on several issues as a society. We arrived at the capitol building and split into groups to represent our districts.
At our district meetings, we were able to meet with various state senate and house legislators, as well as aids, interns, and other representatives. We were also able to listen to a public debate on one of the key bills being brought to focus during that session. One of the members of our group actually got up to represent our society and debate our stance on a key issue.
The meetings offered meaningful and key insights into how the legislative system works at this level — and just how crucial it is to stay engaged with what issues are being brought to debate as they relate to our specialties and to the medical profession at large. Being given the opportunity to be a voice was very empowering. I encourage others to get involved in their state chapters, as well as look into attending the ACR Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill during the 2018 Annual Meeting.

Fewer Women Taking Maternity Leave And The Risks Could Be Higher for Black Women
The higher you rise in a company, the more you may need to look over your shoulder for people looking to take your position. This could be one reason more and more executive women are skipping maternity leave—and many of them work right up to delivery.
Marissa Mayer, who became CEO of Yahoo when she was six months pregnant, raised eyebrows when she announced she would be back to work as soon as possible upon giving birth. But it turns out Mayer is part of a new trend, according to Forbes, where women in power positions are foregoing maternity leave.
"The trend is growing because women are simply overachievers and competitive. Not to mention when you have the CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer, saying she is only taking a few weeks off for maternity leave [then] coming back to work, the landscape in the workplace begins to shift. The message is that if she can do it perhaps maternity leave is not necessary," says Karen Taylor Bass, author/PR expert and mommy commentator at The Brand New Mommy.com in an interview with Madame Noire. Experts who spoke with Forbes speculate that HR departments and managers might now frown upon women who request leave because of the precedent Mayer has set.
Even setting the precedent, Mayer tells HollywoodLife.com that being a working mom is hard. "Most working moms may love their careers and babies but mostly they just feel EXHAUSTED and overwhelmed," she says.
"Women are competing for job security, and proving to the world that they are just as capable as men to do it all and break through the glass ceiling. The real problem is women are not men and we have certain hormones, which need to normalize after pregnancy not to mention the high rate of post-partum for career women," notes Bass, author of The Brand New Mommy: From Babies To Branding To Bliss. "Women must not allow HR directors to dictate the terms of their maternity leave; it's critical for women to take time to heal, reinvent as 'brand' moms and bond with their children."
But it is not just corporate women who are not taking maternity leave. According to independent nonpartisan educational institute Center For American Progress (CAP) data most "non-college" mothers do not get paid leave for maternity leave. So rather than skip a pay check, many just keep working because they cannot afford time off.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 allows for both women and men to take time off from work after birth. But while it is a job-protected leave, it is unpaid. Also, you must qualify. A "worker must have been employed for at least 12 months and have worked a minimum of 1,250 hours during that time for an employer with at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius," explains CAP. Because of these requirements, says CAP, young people and people of color are most likely excluded from taking job-protected FMLA leave.
Birth complications around the country are on the rise as well. Between 1998 and 2009, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say the rate of serious complications including heart attack, stroke, severe bleeding and kidney failure during or after childbirth almost doubled, reports Reuters. And a recent CDC study found that minority women are at particular risk. "Between 1993 and 2006, minority women accounted for 41 percent of all births nationwide, but 62 percent of all pregnancy-related deaths," the story says. "Black women were at greatest risk. For every 100,000 babies born to African Americans, 32 to 35 mothers died. That was roughly four times the rate among white mothers."
"Having a baby is one of the greatest gifts a woman will experience. The notion of skipping maternity leave is a scary idea when we think how society has simply become a microwave lifestyle. Women/mom/dad need time to heal physically, emotionally, spiritually and not to mention bond with their newborn and allow self a moment to simply experience a new chapter. I am an advocate for moms and dads taking time off from their career to enjoy the miracle," concludes Bass.

It's no secret that different languages are different. One particularly well-known dimension along which languages differ is in their morphological structure[1], which refers to how words[2] are formed in a language.
Some languages have pretty simple words, meaning there are relatively few morphemes, or units of meaning, per word. For an example in English, the phrase "the dog" consists of two words, each composed of only one morpheme.
But other languages (or other words in English) have words containing many more morphemes. Here, an example in English would be the word "dehumidification", which contains at least four morphemes: de + humid + ify + cation. Some of these are root morphemes and can appear on their own (e.g. "humid"), while others can only be used to change the meaning or grammatical category of an existing root word (e.g. "-ify").
As a linguist – or perhaps as a citizen of the world – one question that might arise is: why are languages so different?
Words on the move
No language is a static entity. Languages are constantly acquiring new words, removing old words from their vocabulary, inventing new expressions and repurposing old ones for new meanings, and more. And despite the eternal complaints of stodgy prescriptivists, the slang of today is the grammar of tomorrow.
One way to think about this change over time is as a form of evolution. Just as different species adapt and evolve to the demands of their environment, languages adapt and evolve to fit the needs of their speakers. Certain features of a language are preserved, while others are left behind.
Dingemase et al (2015) argue that the main pressures influencing language change are communicative utility and learnability. That is, roughly:
- Communicative utility: How effectively the language allows you to communicate what you want to communicate.
- Learnability: How easy the language is to learn.
Previously, I discussed some of the language factors that affect a language's communicative utility and learnability. For example, languages with simpler morphological structure are probably easier to learn than languages with very complex morphological structure[3].
Importantly, however, these pressures might manifest in different ways across the world. Different language communities have different sorts of needs, meaning that (1) and (2) above will both be manifested and emphasized in different ways, according to the needs of the speakers.
This really isn't so different from how we think about fitness in biological evolution. Broadly, fitness refers to the contribution of one organism's genotype to the gene pool of the following generation. But fitness manifests in wildly different ways across different species, different habitats, and different biological communities; a feature that is highly advantageous in one species might be a disastrous mutation in another.
Now it seems like we're in a position to better reframe our question from earlier: what – if any – are the variables that shape which features or communicative pressures are emphasized in a language? In particular, how do features of the language community predict features of the language?
A Niche for Every Language
The idea that social variables influence language change is called the linguistic niche hypothesis. One such social variable is the proportion of non-native speakers that speak a language, sometimes called the L2 population (Lupyan and Dale, 2010). The argument goes something like this:
- An important feature of a language is that it is learnable.
- Non-native speakers must learn a language later in life, which is generally agreed to be more difficult than learning a language in early childhood.
- Therefore: If social features, such as (2), can affect language features, such as (1), then as the number of non-native speakers increases, a language should adapt over time to become more learnable.
There are a few ways one could test this hypothesis, and they mostly depend on how one operationalizes the learnability of a language. Here, we'll focus on learnability as a function of the morphological complexity of a language. That is: languages with simpler morphology should be easier to learn than languages with more difficult morphology.
In an analysis of 2,236 languages across the world, from a number of different language families, Lupyan and Dale (2010) found that languages with more non-native speakers (as estimated by the authors[4]) tended to have simpler morphological systems. For example, Figure 1 below shows that as the number of non-native speakers increased, verbs tended to have fewer conjugations (e.g. in English, the past tense of "run" is "ran" for I/you/he/they/we, whereas Spanish would have different conjugations for each of those subjects):
This theory has been corroborated by a few other studies. Notably, Bentz and Winter (2013) looked at 226 languages across the world[5], and found that languages with more non-native speakers have less nominal cases. A nominal case is a marker specifying that a noun is the subject of a verb – some languages have over 20 nominal cases, and some have none at all. Crucially, Bentz and Winter (2013) found that a key variable predicting the number of nominal cases was the size of an L2 population.
The theory is also supported by analytical work from John McWhorter (2001). McWhorter argued that creole languages – e.g. languages that arise from pidgins (a simplified grammar that combines elements from multiple languages) – are systematically less grammatically complex than older grammars. McWhorter also argues that, left alone, languages naturally tend towards complexity and irregularity (2007); thus, the simplification of a language is promoted by the number of adult learners, e.g. non-native speakers.
Of course, it's difficult to determine the direction of causality. It's possible, for example that language complexity affects the number of non-native speakers; that is, non-native speakers orient towards learning languages that are easier to learn. But as Bentz and Winter (2013) point out, this "reverse hypothesis" is unlikely, since historically, speakers have not had a choice in which languages they learn – usually this "choice" is heavily restricted by imperialism, as well as economic and political factors. It's still possible, however, that there's a third, intervening variable, and we just haven't figured that out yet.
The Takeaway
Hopefully, this short essay has made a few things clear. First, languages are different across the world and across time. Second, just as species evolve to fit the needs of their environment, languages evolve to fit the needs of the communities in which they are spoken. And finally, one crucial variable that predicts language structure – in particular, language complexity – is the number of non-native speakers that speak that language.
So why should the average non-linguist care?
Well, pretty much everyone speaks at least one language, and over half the world's population speaks two or more. But despite using language every day, we rarely think about why the language we speak is the way it is – and why other languages are different. The linguistic niche hypothesis sheds light on why these differences arise, and offers a convincing explanation for why certain languages are more difficult to learn than others.

[1] Two other prominent dimensions are phonemic inventory and syntax. Phonemic inventory refers, roughly, to the sounds that speakers make to form words. Syntax refers to the way in which speakers order their words – for example, English has what's called an SVO word-order, meaning Subject-Verb-Object (e.g. "John kicked the ball").
[2] The question of what constitutes a "word" is a surprisingly deep and difficult one to answer thoroughly. The standard definition is that a "word" is something which can be uttered on its own to produce meaning; this is distinguished from a "morpheme", which can be a word, but can also be a part of a word (e.g. the plural "-s"). Apart from the philosophical difficulties of pinning down precisely what "meaning" entails, we also face the difficulty of determining how it is that people learn what words are through spoken interactions with others, in which the gaps between syllables of separate words are not necessarily greater than syllables in the same word.
[3] This is a hot topic, research-wise, hence the probably. Early arguments regarding language complexity originated from fundamentally racist and imperialistic sentiments, i.e. the belief that languages with morphological systems corresponding to those widely used in European languages were "the best". This sort of misguided thinking eventually petered out in most academic circles, but was unfortunately followed by a kind of blind insistence that all languages are "equally complex" or "equally difficult to learn", despite languages being obviously very different. This is partly a PR problem; saying something is "complex" or "simple" has all sorts of unfortunate or unintended connotations, so people shied away from using the terms at all to avoid evoking these connotations. The important thing to realize, however, is that difference does not imply superiority or inferiority. Languages are simply different in many ways – that's hardly a controversial point – and those differences don't need to reflect differences in the intelligence or abilities of their speakers, but rather an incredibly complicated history involving the degree of contact with other language communities, the geographical regions in which the language is spoken, the size of the language community, and so on.
[4] Here, it's important to note that the authors operationalized number of non-native speakers as a function of: 1) population measures; 2) geographic spread; and 3) degree of linguistic contact.
[5] Importantly, Bentz and Winter (2013) used langauges for which non-native speaker data was actually available – as opposed to Lupyan and Dale (2010).

Deathwing and Ravenwing Box Options
Yesterday we had some rumors that required quite a bit of salt and included plasma rounds for Assault Cannons and some other things. This morning we are stepping back a little bit, with some rumors that sound much more logical and very doable. Lets take a look.
Please remember that these are rumors
via Dave (from the Faeit 212 Inbox)
I just read yesterdays rumor post about Deathwing, this is nothing like what I have been told by the Games Workshop source I know. This is what I was told.
*HQ models will be recast into finecast. Same models
*New Belial model robes, powersword, stormbolter, or plasma bolter combi
*New Chaplain
*Deathwing Box Set: Comes with 3 options; Normal DW Terminator Squad, Command/HQ Squad with Banner and Apothecary, and an Elite Squad with Plasma Cannon options
*Ravenwing Box Set: Bikes remodeled and look like the Ravenwing bikes from Dark Vengeance, but same build as normal bikes, also with added weapons for the new Ravenwing Elite unit.

Ramana Maharshi Quotes About ProgressQuotes about: Progress
Awareness Birth Bliss Books Concentration Consciousness Creation Desire Devotion Doubt Duty Dying Earth Effort Ego Eyes Feelings Giving Giving Up Goals Grace Guru Heart Ignorance Inspiration Liberation Meditation Mindfulness Past Perception Pleasure Progress Reality Self Awareness Silence Sleep Spirituality Suffering Surrender Universe Wisdom Worry Yoga
Willpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. It is not synonymous with certain success. Why should one's attempts always be attended by success? Success breeds arrogance and man's spiritual progress is thus arrested. Failure, on the other hand, is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens his eyes to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself. Self surrender is synonymous with eternal happiness.

Justice Minister David Ford has praised seizures which have taken drugs worth nearly £1.2m off the streets across Northern Ireland in recent weeks.
Since January 5, drugs, including heroin and cannabis, worth £1,182,000 have been seized in Londonderry, Coleraine, Magherafelt, Ballymoney, Hillsborough, Poyntzpass and Belfast. There were 14 arrests, including three in connection with the production and supply of cocaine.
Minister Ford, who is chairman of the Organised Crime Task Force, commended the work of the PSNI, saying: "We remain committed to removing these harmful substances from our streets.
"These seizures send a very clear message to those intent on destroying our communities that we will continue to pursue and bring them before the courts.
"I urge anyone with information to pass it to the PSNI on the 101 number or to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."

He graduated with a degree in botany and a minor in English from University of Minnesota. He began his photography career after moving to Portland, Oregon in 1938. After serving in military intelligence during World War II, White settled in New York. He studied at Columbia with art historian Meyer Shapiro and became involved with a circle of talented photographers including Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, and Ansel Adams. White adapted Stieglitz's idea of "equivalents," producing photographs of specific objects through which he sought to convey emotional and spiritual states. From 1946 to 1953 he taught at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. In 1952 he was one of the founders of the magazine Aperture, and the following year he moved to Rochester, New York, teaching at the Rochester Institute of Technology from 1956 to 1964. He later taught at MIT. His famous students include Paul Caponigro and Jerry Uelsmann.Related worksBlurred Woman, Nob Hill, San FranciscoBrowse All

(Yes I've been reminded that fish don't fall into the "animal" classification -thanks Mom - but they are a living creature, and that's good enough for me. : ) This is a sample background of their layered project. I rather like it just by itself. The ocean was created with plastic wrap and watered down tempera in blue, turquoise, green and purple. Note to self .... be sure to buy a name brand plastic wrap that won't tear and get stuck on the roll while children are scrambling to place it on their piece before the paint dries. Next week they will add the seaweed and coral effects with matt board edge and sponge printing with acrylics. And of course, they have some large and colorful cut Angelfish to glue to their backgrounds. Stay tuned.

Obama Timeline: First 100 Days of Green
To say that hopes were high for Obama's first 100 days would be the understatement of the decade—especially for those hoping for green progress. After enduring years of an administration that put the environment about as far on the back burner as possible, we suddenly had a president who promised to fund renewable energy, create green jobs, embrace science, and perhaps most importantly, finally lead the US to tackle climate change. So how's he doing so far? You decide. Check out TreeHugger's timeline of all Barack Obama's major accomplishments (and missteps) during the whirlwind that was his first 100 days in office. To help you get a better idea of what exactly went down during Obama's first 100 days in office, we used the timeline tool Dipity to create this interactive timeline of TreeHugger's coverage of Obama's most important actions.
And as you can see, Obama's been a busy man putting his best green ideas into action. Just scan from January to April to see what he and his administration has been up to, and zoom in to get a more detailed look at the green goings on in the Obama administration thus far.
Obama's First 100 Green Days
As you can see, there's quite a bit for environmentalists to be glad about--Obama installed his green team with qualified (and often brilliant) scientists and climate change fighting champions, he immediately reversed or halted a number of harmful Bush era rulings, he loaded his economic stimulus bill and budget with a number of green initiatives, and his EPA has been on the warpath against both polluters and stagnant policy. And most recently, the EPA announced that it deemed greenhouse gases threatening to public welfare--a landmark motion that opens the door to finally regulating carbon dioxide emissions, and making real progress towards slowing global warming.
Of course, it hasn't all been rosy--Obama is still behind "clean coal," he looks to be slowing his support for enacting a cap and trade this year, and many of his greenest projects--like the high speed rail--are underfunded.
Nonetheless, the ideas put forward combined with some tangible, exciting progress make for what may be the greenest first 100 days of any president in decades--let's hope Obama keeps the momentum going.

after david sung kavi his goodnight song, i cuddled up in bed with my boy and talked to him. we talked about his friends, his most recent owie and he asked for a story. i told him one from my childhood of how i got my first stitches. i love this time with my boy. he is so sweet when i just sit down and listen to his little life. his perspective is so precious to me.
he then told me about a nightmare he had last night. with the most serious face, this is what he said:" daddy sent a robot into the bathroom to save carter. but there was an invisible man in there who shot something onto the wall, and the toilet was fired. then the invisible man shot daddy. but he was okay."
tears ran down my face as i listened to my boy. what an innocent imagination he holds. i love him so much and am so grateful to be his mom. i told him this after we closed our eyes to pray that he would have good dreams tonight. and i know he will.

text: I woke up this morning and at 5:30 this is what I saw -14.6 F I took the dog for a walk very short I might add and it was -15 F. My indoor outdoor is only hung a few inches away from the siding so most cases its about one degree warmer. Starting my 2000 GMC 2500 with a quarter million miles on it was a testament to GMC as it spun over and lit right up. Even with the plow on and up I drove 30 minutes before I felt a hint of heat coming out of the dash and it normally drives you out. I got to work and looked for the official temperature and they showed it was still dropping at 7:00 and was at -20 F. now thats getting a little cold for even me. I feel a little bad sitting in a warm office as my girlfriend just texted from her job milking cows saying the cows are a little slow getting moving today. I wonder if Im doing any damage to my deck walking on it this morning as each step sounded like shot gun rounds going off. :help:

and for a super days heelwork to music. Thank you to the above for timing, music and commentary and to the stewards for giving their time during the running of this class; very much appreciated. This class was of very mixed ability. Overall standard of this class was very good with still some hand targeting which I do not expect to see at this level but we did have some young and/or experienced dogs in the class that may still need this help.
That said the placings were as follows:
1st. Joanna Mayston with Mists of Tawny, performing to I'd Do Anything For Love by Meatloaf
. Nice clean routine; good story; no hand luring to keep the dog in position; some transitions a bit messy but generally a good competent routine. Overall score: 27.15
2nd. Louise Ince with Decoymans Piper Edward, performing to Shine by Bond
. Another good routine with very little hand luring of the dog. Again transitional moves were a bit messy and Troy had trouble keeping in position at times which seems to be just a little lack of confidence but Louise handled the situation well with lots of encouragement. Overall score 24.25
3rd. Alison Wilde with Shemella Badgers Moon performing to Wings by Birdy.
For some reason touched her dog at one point to praise him which lost marks; needed some hand luring but otherwise was a very controlled and flowing round. Very well done. Overall score 22.40
4th. Cathy Bates with Ruskath Lyrical Image performing to A Thousand Years by Christina Perry
. Very nice routine but for some reason today the dog did not respond to cues promptly and seemed to lack confidence which lost points. Cathy handled her very well and always stays calm and collected which helped her dog immensely. Overall score 22.20
1st. E
llis O'Grady and Jackpotstud First Spot. Score 21.05
An interesting round with a good mix of positions, and good lengths of sideways, backwards and rotational moves. The choreography is good – well orientated and recognising the dynamics of the music. This is a large, powerful dog who works best once he has got going, so this smaller venue was not ideal for him. But a pleasure to watch.
2. Jennifer Stevens and Acquitrino Phil's Emerald. Score 20.8
This is a lovely young dog who did a fabulous job for the first part of the round, but who then lost a bit of concentration. The choreography is good and flowing, with a variety of positions. Some very nice sideways moves. Good use of space and moves well orientated.
oanna Mayston and Cloudmist of Tawny. Score 20.75
This round contained some very accurate heelwork, and the choreography respected the dynamics of the music for the most part. The dog was getting a bit stressed and vocal, with the handler stopping to let the dog calm, which disrupted the flow. A good mix of heelwork positions, including good stretches of sideways, backwards and rotational moves.
4. Jackie Field and Careg Cennen Sir William. Score 19.85.
Another round with a good mix of heelwork positions and some sideways, backwards and rotational moves. The choreography is well orientated and makes good use of the space available.
Jan Debnam, Head Judge.

Have I said often enough that "I don't fry?" Ok, I take that back. When you live in one of the most overcast, drizzly, damp cities, sometimes you need to fry just to have some fun and warm you up. Once in a while an exception is ok, if you eat in moderation and don't go crazy! In India we fry bhajias during monsoon. I only wish that every time we fry, it could recreate the charm of monsoon!
I tried to recreate monsoon in my head as I fried these bhajias, but it isn't really like monsoon here in Seattle. Monsoon means really heavy showers but with warm temperatures. In monsoon, it was warm enough that we would run up to the terrace on top of our building and enjoy getting soaked 🙂 Then we would quickly come down, dry off, and have a warm cup of chai with freshly fried bhajias made by mom. What can I say, it's an Indian thing — rain=> bhajias + chai — ask any Indian 🙂
For me, the best part of frying was learning how to fry from my mom, because it brought back that nostalgia — hers and mine! I learnt about her quirky techniques, and she remembered learning to fry when she was growing up, or remembered stories from when my brother and I were young.
We talked about "Mohan's bhajias," the one-man business in my hometown whose thinly-sliced potato bhajias were simply the best! Mohan had a small hand cart which he parked a few blocks away from our home. Whenever some of my out-of-town cousins would visit us, we'd wait in long lines to get Mohan's potato bhajias, because that's all our guests wanted.
My mom remembered how it was her dad who taught her to fry, and she was so afraid of making mistakes. She made the same mistake I was making when she taught me; then she'd say — you get the hang of it as you do more, it's all about practice. For me, it's not quite the case because I don't fry often. For me, frying has always been associated with scary things.
There is something scary about hot oil flying all over, like the first time I decided to make corn fritters. Mostly though, the fear I have of frying is because I've lost a lot of my family to serious cholesterol and heart problems. I'd hate to see more fall victim to eating too much fried food.
On the other hand, I admit that fried foods bring out the fun & cheer in everyone. We act like we are all happy five year olds 🙂 When I made these bhajias, my husband put a little music on and did a dance! and we made some chai, and pretended like it was monsoon, and we just enjoyed. Bhajias are like a lot of common food wherever you go — cheap and what the majority enjoy, whether in fast food chains or off the street from a little hand cart. They can take you back home, wherever you are and wherever you are from!
So once in a blue moon, we fry like it's monsoon in cold, rainy Seattle, filling up our home with freshly fried fritters of many different kinds. Since I'm only doing it rarely, I pretty much slice up everything I can — potatoes, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, paneer, cheddar, tofu, chilies, bananas, and the list can go on.
Yes, paneer — as in the Indian cottage cheese. I have a local supplier whose paneer comes very close to the great home-made paneer we're used to eating in India. There it's made with fresh, raw, whole milk, straight from the guy who milks the cows every day, and delivered to your doorstep every day, too. Paneer-making will be another post someday, but right now Appel Farms in Washington State have done the job of supplying good quality paneer to our local grocery stores, so that is what you see here.
This is the basic bhajia batter recipe I learnt from my mother. I hope you enjoy and make it your own, to share smiles and stories with your family in the kitchen and over the dining table!
I used:
1.5 cups chana flour (chickpea flour)
3 teaspoons rice flour
1 tablsepoon wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
pinch of chili powder
pinch of amja (carom seeds)
1 tablespoon oil
1.25 cups cold water
My method:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
2. Add the oil, and mix it in with your hand, making sure all the lumps are broken down.
3. Slowly add the water 1/4 cup at a time, while you mix the batter with your other hand to make sure you don't get any lumps.
4. Once all the water is combined, and smoothed nicely with your hand, you should have a smooth batter. It should be just thick enough to coat any of the vegetables and other ingredients mentioned above while they are dipped and fried.
5. Make sure you have vegetable oil or other good, light oil to fry on medium-high heat. Fry as you please without crowding up the frying pan too much. I like using a small, but deep pot to fry, in which I can only put a few bhajias at a time. After you've dropped one in, check in a minute or so. As one side gets lightly browned, flip them over to do the same with the other side. Drain off the oil by holding them with a slotted spoon or a spider, then set them on a plate lined with a few paper towels, to soak up excess oil.
6. Sprinkle with some chaat masala or flavored salt and enjoy with a cup of chai!

What a great review, I felt every hill you described. I was born and bred here and raced and trained on these very roads. So good to hear you guys enjoying the rides so much. Well done.
I've got a cycling mate who defines 'hill' as a gradient steep enough to come off the big ring. There were 16 such hills on the Tour of the Peak last weekend, meaning a good baker's dozen to test the legs as well as the three major headliners of Cat & Fiddle, Winnats Pass and Holme Moss. And if that wasn't enough, torrential rain and high winds were on the menu. The result: a sportive to remember.
At the start, there was no hint of the drama to come. The town of Chapel-en-le-Frith seemed sleepy. The weather was a bit damp, but not too cold. There wasn't the usual eager queue to get started though, so maybe some riders had seen the future and decided to stay in bed.
I was riding with three club-mates, and we took it easy on the first few miles down to Whaley Bridge, before turning south for the first climb of the day, up past Wingather Rocks. Knowing this was the first of many hills, we took it easy up here too, despite several fast-starters sprinting by. We were up in the mist as well – another foretaste of things to come.
A right turn at the top took us down Dead Man's Hill, appropriately named as it turned out, because this was the site of some serious pile-ups. Some riders were simply descending too fast, then losing control on the narrow wet roads covered in leaves.
Next came Cat & Fiddle; about 7 miles of steady climbing over the Pennines. The gradient was fine – just sit and steady-pedal - but the mist turned to rain, and as we crested the summit the wind hit us too, making for a tough couple of miles across the moors before descending towards Buxton. We got a bit of respite as the route wound through the pretty lanes of Derbyshire, with just a little grunt up Millers Dale to reach the first feed at Tideswell.
The next descent took us down into the Hope Valley. Another appropriate name? Most riders used their brains, and their brakes, but an optimistic few threw caution to the wind and went down pretty fast. Lo and behold, this was another site of several serious crashes.
Through the streets of Castleton, then came Winnats Pass, a narrow road snaking up between limestone cliffs. It started steep, then got steeper, with the hardest bit about 25%. Fortunately the wind was behind up here, but still a few people ran out of steam and had to walk.
Just beyond the top the routes split, with the shorter option winding back towards Chapel-en-le-Frith, and the longer option throwing in another steep little climb over Mam Nick. Hard on legs still recovering from Winnats but at least there was time to recover on the decent into Edale, although just in case there was any danger of starting to enjoy ourselves, the rain got heavier.
The next few miles on the long route seemed innocuous on the map, but held some surprises: a drag up through Bamford to Ladybower Reservoir, another long steady climb to Moscar and then the Strines Road, running parallel to the crest of the Pennines, so crossing lots of steep-sided river valleys with lots of steep little ups and downs. Once again, leaves on the road meant careful descents and a few wheel-spins on the other side.
The second feed was at Langsett. By this time the hills and weather had taken their toll. Fast boys who would usually run in and grab a banana were sitting down for a rest in the dry. There were queues for food and drink but few riders seemed to mind. It was good to be out of the rain. The hot soup was a nice touch too.
Refuelled, we pushed on for more miles over bleak moors and then descended into Holmfirth, the start of the classic climb up Holme Moss. And that was where the fun really started. This is a testing ascent on a good day – around 5 miles, with plenty at 5-7%, some at 10%, increasing to 14% near the top – but on Saturday the wind was absolutely howling down the road, making it very tough indeed. We were in a group of about eight and tried to stay together, but it was hard to hold a wheel in the gusts. As we got higher, the wind got stronger and we were slowed to about 2 miles per hour. Any slower and we'd have simply fallen off. Then the road turned so the wind was on the side, and three guys in front of us did fall off. Literally blown over. Lucky the crash barrier was there or they might have rolled down the hillside.
So the options were: (A) walk; or ( B lean into it at 45 degrees and hope for the best. We took option B, and managed to get to the summit. Not a good day for deep section rims.
The wind was just as gusty on the descent. Only down near the Woodhead Pass road did the bulk of the Pennines finally shelter the route from the worse of it.
In Glossop, the road signs showed Chapel-en-le-Frith within grasp, less than 10 miles along the A624, but there was still more climbing: the long drag up Chunal, then another to Chinley Head. Not major hills usually, but enough to come off the big ring today. My mate was right. And just when we thought it was all over, a sharp right turn took us off the main road, back onto narrow lanes for a final few miles – and one last bugger of a hill – before descending to the finish.
I've never seen so many looks of sheer relief at the end of a sportive. It had been an epic. Organisers Kilotogo reported 900 entries. Of these, around 600 finished - about 350 on the short route (64 miles) and about 260 on the long route (originally billed as 97 miles, but actually nearer 100). Times on the short route included 40 riders under 5 hours and another 150 under 6 hours. On the long route, 30 riders got under 7 hours, and another 80 under 8 hours. Chapeau as well to all the riders who were just out for an enjoyable ride, and happy to take all day. I use the terms 'happy' and 'enjoy' very loosely, of course…

Kitchen Experiment posts are for the times that I don't use a recipe and just improvise. I put down what I used, but the technique is more important due to the wide range of substitutions and variations available.
So for a while I've wanted to try my hand at a scalloped potato dish because I've only ever relied on the packaged style and been too much of a chicken to try it myself. I didn't want to make one of those cheesy, saucy, fat-laden sides though. I wanted something with the same layered texture I love so much about scalloped potatoes, but with a bit more flavor and spice, and a prettier appearance.
Well, I made some mistakes, but I was able to troubleshoot them this time. This dish is tasty, lovely, and absolutely unique. It can be used as a side or as the main event, with a little dressing up. If you're looking for something subtle to impress your guests, this is the ticket.
Kitchen Experiment #1: Layered Potatoes
Notes: You can make this ahead. Get past the baking portion and then cool in the fridge while weighing the foil down until you're ready to cut the pieces out and warm.
Ingredients: (4 Servings plus "leftovers")
- 1 large russet potato, sliced into discs with a mandolin. (1/8 inch-ish)
- 1 large sweet potato, sliced into discs with a mandolin.
- 3 red-skinned potatoes, sliced into discs with a mandolin.
- fresh thyme (or whatever herbs you like)
- olive oil
- fresh ground pepper & salt
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Get a baking dish that's a square of about 9″x9″ and line the bottom with parchment paper. If you want to scale up, go for it. The potato amounts can be scaled up to layer as much as you want, as long as they fill the dish completely without gaps.
Start with the sweet potato and layer with overlapping the first level. Build on that with the red potato, and then the russet. Do another three layers, but this time make sure the russet is extra dense (make your overlapping more extreme). Season with herbs, pepper, and salt, and then a drizzle of olive oil. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
When the potatoes are done, vent the foil and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then, press the foil down to the surface of the potatoes and set a heavy pot or panini weight on the top. You want to compress these layers so as they cool the starch helps "glue" them together.
If you're planning on serving the same day, allow to compress for 30 minutes or until room temperature. Then, grab a corner of the parchment and slide the whole thing out onto a cutting board. Grab the corners quickly and flip over, so the sweet potatoes are now facing up.The sweet potatoes are the easiest to cut through with the cutter, so that's why they're up top. If you try it from the other side, it could disrupt the layers.
Use a pretty cookie cutter (preferably a circle) and sigh-measure where to place it to get the most out of your potatoes. I started with the upper corner. Press quickly through all the layers, and then give it a sharp smack with the palm of your hand to send it through the bottom layer. Cut away the excess carefully around the cutter (if it's sticking) and transfer to a plate. Lift the cutter up carefully to reveal your tower. You can serve these at room temperature. If you want to warm them, place them on a lined cookie sheet and put them in the oven for a spell until warmed through.
Because they is a test recipe, I encourage you to get creative. There are a lot of very good possibilities with something like this, be it garnish, sauces, or even turning it into a sweet dish.

Youth Program
LVCT Health has a robust youth program that offers quality HIV, SRH and GBV information and services to adolescents and youth. In partnership with UNICEF, LVCT health has taken leadership in programming for Most At Risk Adolescents (MARA) in Kenya. We conducted a MARA situational analysis study in 2015 that informed us on service needs for this population. We are currently providing a comprehensive package of care to this population with an aim of scaling the model to national level through NASCOP. We employ peer-led approaches to improve identification, linkage, retention and viral suppression among adolescents.
The DREAMS program integrates social protection for vulnerable girls within HIV and SRH programming and has enrolled 30,000 adolescent girls and young women in three counties of Kenya. The program provides social asset building, cash transfers and education subsidies within a combination prevention package of services aimed at reducing HIV and SRH risks and vulnerabilities.
To build girls' agency for self-advocacy, LVCT Health has supported adolescent girls and women led organizations and groups at the grass root level through organizational systems strengthening trainings and mentorship. LVCT Health also supports Youth Advisory Councils (YACs) in 6 counties made of adolescents and young people who elevate young people's voices in various county and national fora. They are linked to and work closely with adolescent technical working groups at the county level. We also mentor girls and young women as PrEP champions to reach out to their peers with HIV prevention messages especially PrEP.
LVCT Health's one2oneTM Integrated Digital Platform (OIDP) is a peer-led, multi-platform safe space designed to respond to SRH, HIV and GBV information needs for adolescents and youth by providing accurate, confidential and credible information and referrals through a toll-free hotline, Short Messages Services (SMS), digital platforms that appeal to adolescents and young people (Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, youtube, and Instagram). Over the years, one2oneTM Integrated Digital Platform has grown to be the preferred information and service linkage platform of choice in Kenya reaching over 3.4 million adolescents and young people annually through social media platforms with over 40,000 calls being received every year and over 6,000 young people being linked to SRH, HIV and GBV services through a robust country-wide referral network. The platform supports confidential virtual and peer-led support groups and chat-rooms for various groups of adolescents including adolescents living with HIV, County-based Youth Advisory Councils and young people trained as Champions for certain causes e.g. PrEP. Discussions in these virtual groups are regulated by peers, and questions that need technical answers are addressed by trained counselors.
LVCT Health has played a critical role in development of National policy, standards and guidelines frameworks in HIV, GBV and SRH fronts with most recent being HIV self-testing Manual and National guidelines on use of Antiretroviral drugs for treatment and prevention of HIV in Kenya.

When I first started sharing a living space with a musician, I quickly noticed the guitar stand in the living room. My initial reaction was that the guitar stand was not appropriate living room decor. Then it became obvious that he really needed to have the guitar close at hand when he needs it. (I was surprised just how often the guitar needed to be close at hand, but that is another post.)
Rather than fighting over the guitar stand in the living room, I chose to embrace it. When shopping for items for the living room to go with the guitar and guitar stand, I found an item here or there but there wasn't a site or store that had a good selection of music or rock star decor.
That's what this site is about. It is for all the musicians, rock stars, music lovers and those who love them that need a place to shop. Let's get our musicians out of the basement and the garage and back into the house.
It starts with the guitar stand in the living room.

Angelique Boyer, TIME's Person of the Year 2019?
- By Elizabeth Sy

- Last updated on
Hot news
- Shocker December 7, 2019
- Love December 3, 2019
- Rumor Central December 2019
According to a well-placed source, Angelique Boyer is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2019. But while the actress' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 07/12/2019 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Boyer for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine's Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 31-year-old actress, as a 2019 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
"What makes Boyer so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done," said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actress have already been named 'Mexican Of The Year' by some major Mexican newspapers and even 'Saint-Claude Citizen Of The Year' by the readers of a local gazette in Saint-Claude (Angelique Boyer's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME's Person of the Year
A representative for the actress was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
"#BoyerPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one."
— @TomMiller, 6 Dec 2019
"Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveAngelique"
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 6 Dec 2019
"Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Angelique Boyer?"
— @TheClassicObserver, 6 Dec 2019
Could 2019 officially be the Year of Angelique Boyer?
Still, TIME's editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine's cover as its 2019 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME's Person of the Year for 2019?
