In this beautifully written account, Julian Young provides the most comprehensive biography available today of the life and philosophy of the nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Young deals with the many puzzles created by the conjunction of Nietzsche's personal history and his work: why the son of a Lutheran pastor developed into the self-styled "Antichrist"; why this archetypical Prussian came to loathe Bismarck's Prussia; and why this enemy of feminism preferred the company of feminist women. Setting Nietzsche's thought in the context of his times – the rise of Prussian militarism, anti-Semitism, Darwinian science, the "Youth" and emancipationist movements, as well as the "death of God" – Young emphasizes the decisive influence of Plato and of Richard Wagner on Nietzsche's attempt to reform Western culture. He also describes the devastating effect on Nietzsche's personality of his unhappy love for Lou Salomé and attempts to understand why, at the age of forty-four, he went mad. This book includes a selection of more than thirty photographs of Nietzsche, his friends and his work sites. Seventeen of the philosopher's musical compositions, which are key to a deeper understanding of his intellectual project are available online.

". . . serious and readable . . ."
--Francis Fukuyama, The New York Times Book ReviewSee more reviews
"Sets the German philosopher's thought in the context of Prussian militarism, anti-Semitism, Darwinian science, and other phenomena of his era..."
--The Chronicle of Higher Education
"Julian Young brings together his fine scholarly skills, his delightful writing style, and a solid grasp of Nietzsche's thought to produce a philosophical biography that will be unparalleled for years to come. Especially valuable is Young's way of showing how events in Nietzsche's life hooked up with intellectual developments in this multi-faceted philosopher. A pleasure to read and a valuable source of information."
--Charles Guignon, University of South Florida
"A first in the history of Nietzsche studies: a richly detailed biography written by a leading scholar of Nietzsche's philosophy. The volume nicely mixes the intriguing particulars of Nietzsche's life with intelligent analyses of his philosophical work that are well-informed, always clear, sometimes controversial, but consistently interesting. It will now be the starting place for the philosophically-minded reader of Nietzsche seeking a comprehensive treatment of the life and the work."
--Brian Leiter, University of Chicago
"Simply put, this is an excellent biography of Nietzsche, and a model of what a philosophical biography should be. Young offers a smooth integration of biographical detail and philosophical analysis so that one can readily see how Nietzsche's life and thought informed one another. He stakes out some controversial interpretive claims, but even setting these aside, Young has produced a study that must be read by every Nietzsche scholar and by anyone interested more generally in the shaping of the modern philosophical landscape..."
--Charlie Huenemann, Utah State University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"...masterly biography of Nietzsche... "
--Joachim Krueger, Brown University, Psychology Today
"A biography as profound and disturbing as its subject." -
--Christensen, Bryce, American Library Association's Booklist Magazine
"...Julian Young's Friedrich Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography is marvelous, meticulously researched, artfully written, and genuinely insightful. Young has managed to produce a work of the highest caliber on the slippery terrain of Nietzsche's thought. He offers a total vision of Nietzsche's intellectual development that is at times critical, as well as giving clear accounting for the many implicit arguments found in Nietzsche's work... The volume's style is artful, far exceeding the norms of philosophical treatises... Young's book is remarkable, and easily recommended. One will find value in it as an overview to or introduction to Nietzsche's thought. While invaluable as a work for those interested in Nietzsche, it is perhaps even more important for philosophers, given how regularly Nietzsche is misunderstood or misinterpreted. On the whole, Young's book is outstanding... In sum, not only has Young produced a masterful study of Nietzsche, fit for slow reading (296), but a work that opens avenues for further inquiry. The superlative quality of the whole towers well over what blemishes it has. Young's philosophical biography of Nietzsche is certainly essential for any serious study of Nietzsche henceforth."
--Eric Chelstrom, Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Grand Valley State University, Metapsychology
"...In this massive work, Young (Univ. of Auckland, NZ; Wake Forest) presents the most comprehensive biography of Nietzsche available in English... Young offers interpretations of all of Nietzsche's works, often tying these interpretations to interesting details about Nietzsche's locale, his health, and events in his life... This volume is indispensable for anyone interested in Nietzsche's life and thought... Essential..."
A. D. Schrift, Grinnell College, CHOICE
"...This strenuously researched biography serves well to give one a clear understanding of Nietzsche's radical philosophy.... delightful and richly detailed biography of Nietzsche. It provides new readings and perspectives on Nietzsche's life and work, questioning the conventional interpretation of his "nihilistic" underpinnings. It brings out the huge impact of Nietzsche on 20th-century philosophy and literature and its well-grounded notions of beliefs and values, casting a "long shadow" on the complex cultural and philosophical central themes of postmodernist thinking...."
"This is the longest and most thorough account of Nietzsche's life available in English. It might also be the best. It uses Nietzsche's letters to good effect along with generous helpings of the existing correspondence from his acquaintances. The pace is crisp and the writing is situated in the present day, often drawing parallels with contemporary events, objects and characters. There are 32 black and white photos, 28 chapters, a Chronology, Notes, a Bibliography and an Index. Young discusses several musical compositions by Nietzsche, recordings of which can be listened to free of charge at the Cambridge University Press Web Site, where further commentary can be found as well."
Bryan Finken, University of Colorado at Denver, Philosophy in Review
"Presenting such a unified account is particularly impressive given that Young does not appear to deprive us of any of the details of Nietzsche's life. We get definitive treatments of his childhood, the Pforta years, his turbulent relationships, and his heartbreaking demise. From the biographical perspective, Young pulls all of this together through some adept storytelling: he uses flashbacks, flashforwards, overlapping events relayed successively, and a host of other devices to tell a coherent and fascinating tale. This book is a must read for those interested in Nietzsche, as well as for students of the intellectual history of late nineteenth-century Europe, and for anyone looking for ideas on how to craft a unified philosophical biography."
--Iain Morrisson, The Honors College, University of Houston, Journal of the History of Philosophy
"....incisive, provocative and elegant writing.... a highly worthwhile read.... Young's arguments are persuasive, yet leave enough space for the reader to form his/her own interpretation. This is a welcome improvement on Hollingdale's version from 1965, full of orthodox certainties.... An important asset of Young's Philosophical biography is that it portrays both Nietzsche the philosopher and Nietzsche the man amidst the backdrop of historical, political and cultural events, including the Franco-Prussian war, Bismarck's rise to power, the ascent of the sciences, and the growing fame of his friend Richard Wagner...."
--Dr. Eva Cybulska, Independent Scholar, Philosophy Now
"....Julian Young's biography, Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography, is unusual, given the author's academic repute as a Nietzsche scholar. Young acutely surveys Nietzsche's life, while offering erudite accounts of his philosophy.... In terms of its content, this book makes several important contributions to Nietzschean scholarship.... Young's book compellingly shows that, as a cultural critic, Nietzsche is as relevant as ever."
--Jack Reynolds, La Trobe University, Australian Book Review
"Those of us interested in the mercurial and ever-mysterious Nietzsche are indebted to Julian Young for the production of this extremely fine biography.... connoisseurs of the details of Nietzsche's life will discover intriguing new information.... It also provides overviews of the intellectual work he was undertaking at each stage of his life.... clear, well organized, and intelligent...."
--Ruth Abbey, University of Notre Dame, Interpretation: A Journal of Political Philosophy P

I have fallen in love with this book. I have a background in philosophy and theology. If youre interested in atheism, the death of God movement, or in analysis of modern culture, including art, music,linguistics, and ancient Greek culture, this book I highly recommend and Frederick Nietzsche is your man. Its worth the struggle in beautifully written even with a sense of humor. And its actually relevant to many issues of the 21st-century that we face as a human family.

Thousands of megawatts of new renewable energy potential in Africa, Asia, South and Central America have been discovered by a pioneering project to map the solar and wind resource of 13 developing countries. The multi-million dollar project, called the Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA), is proving that the potential for deploying solar panels and wind turbines in these countries is far greater than previously supposed.
Thousands of megawatts of new renewable energy potential in Africa, Asia, South and Central America have been discovered by a pioneering project to map the solar and wind resource of 13 developing countries.
The multi-million dollar project, called the Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA), is proving that the potential for deploying solar panels and wind turbines in these countries is far greater than previously supposed.
"In developing countries all over the world we have removed some of the uncertainty about the size and intensity of the solar and wind resource," said Klaus Toepfer, UNEP's Executive Director. "These countries need greatly expanded energy services to help in the fight against poverty and to power sustainable development. SWERA offers them the technical and policy assistance to capture the potential that renewable energy can offer," he said.
Since its beginning in 2001 and with substantial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the US$9.3 million SWERA project (http://swera.unep.net) has been developing a range of new information tools to stimulate renewable energy development, including detailed maps of wind and solar resources.
"As energy planners seek cleaner energy solutions using renewable energy technologies, the availability of reliable, accurate, and accessible solar and wind energy information is critical and can significantly accelerate the deployment of these technologies," says Toepfer.
Toepfer cited the case of California, where the availability of good wind data greatly accelerated the development of windfarms and a global wind industry. Likewise, he says, SWERA's aim is to support informed decision-making, develop energy policy based on science and technology, and increase investor confidence in renewable energy projects.
The SWERA team has assessed wind and solar energy resources using a range of data from satellites and ground-based instruments -- often with surprising results. In Nicaragua, for example, SWERA assessments of wind resources demonstrated a much greater potential than the 200 megawatts (MW) estimated in the 1980s.
The results prompted the Nicaraguan National Assembly to pass the Decree on Promotion of Wind Energy of Nicaragua 2004 that gives wind generated electricity "first dispatch," meaning it has the first priority over other options when fed into electricity grids. The US Trade and Development Agency and Inter-American Development Bank have subsequently launched wind energy feasibility studies in Nicaragua, and wind investment projects are now advancing with 40 MW planned in two projects and two more exploration licenses granted.
SWERA information is also providing solar resource information for a range of cooperative efforts in Nicaragua between groups such as the World Bank and GEF for projects focused on rural electrification. Six thousand (6000) solar PV systems, for example, are being installed in the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank rural electrification programs.
In Guatemala, wind estimates before SWERA were mostly unknown, but are now estimated at 7000 megawatts, based on SWERA products. The Guatemala Ministry of Energy has established, with support from SWERA, the Centre for Renewable Energy and Investment within the Ministry to carry out validation studies and identify sites for wind energy development.
In Sri Lanka, the SWERA assessment found a land wind power potential of about 26,000 MW representing more than ten times the country's installed electrical capacity.
While an initial assessment in Ghana, reveals more than 2,000 MW of wind energy potential, mainly along the border with Togo. In Africa, this is quite a significant amount, as by some estimates, the continent needs just 40,000 MW of electricity to power its industrialization (see UNEP Governing Council, http://www.unep.org/gc/gc23/).
SWERA's data collection and analysis network of international and national agencies is also creating a global archive of solar and wind energy resources and maps that is available on CDROM or through the website. Another important SWERA tool, the Geospatial Toolkit, allows wind and solar maps to be combined with electrical distribution grids and other information to provide high quality information that supports energy planning and policy development, while lowering the risk for renewable energy project developers and reducing project lead times.
Speaking from Washington D.C., Tom Hamlin, SWERA Project Manager, said the project is now under evaluation and will be seeking support to service requests from renewable energy development programs in other developing countries.
"SWERA has clearly demonstrated that the modest of amounts needed to support renewable energy assessments can significantly change the way countries pursue their energy goals," he said.
The countries where SWERA has carried out surveys to date are: Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Cuba, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, Kenya, Nepal, Nicaragua and Sri Lanka.
According to Toepfer, SWERA is a good example of international cooperation that can produce a range of positive environmental and social outcomes. "In the case of renewable energy," he concludes, "knowledge is literally power."

"The leads are weak," Jack Lemmon's character, Shelley Levene, tells Alec Baldwin in "Glengarry Glen Ross."
By Shelley Hall, principal, managing director, Catalytic Management LLC
Sales executives consistently are told to "build or rebuild your sales process to match your customer's buying process." This is sound advice that can shorten your sales cycle, but the question is how?
By deploying "Value Stream Mapping," or a more in-depth version of a process flow chart, you can create a picture of your current sales process and your customer's buying process, and then compare the two. Value Stream Mapping is a tool most often used by manufacturing companies implementing Lean manufacturing principles. But this graphical tool increasingly is being deployed to examine non-manufacturing processes such as order entry, shipping, product development, customer service, and other critical business processes.
The foundation of Value Stream Mapping is to identify waste in your process. Waste is defined as activity that does not add value for your customer. Applying the principle to a sales process can do more than just eliminate waste—it can help you:
There are two aspects to undertaking a Value Stream Mapping initiative that must be addressed:
Designing the Project Plan
When designing the project plan, using the basic framework of another process tool, Six Sigma, will keep the project on track and insure success. The Six Sigma methodology is as follows:
Define >> Measure >> Analyze >> Improve >> Control
Your Value Stream Mapping project should be planned using this methodology.
Define: Define your different customer segments. Examine them for buying differences and select the segment that either most closely resembles the norm or select the segment that represents your highest margin contribution and focus on this group. Once identified, invite two or more customers in this segment to participate in a joint Value Stream Mapping of their buying/decision process. Customers benefit in two ways: By highlighting opportunities to eliminate waste in their process, the process itself will be improved, and by having a partner who is willing to change their selling process, customers will find it easier to buy. (Note: focus on one customer at a time.)
Measure: In this step, the goal is to objectively examine and understand the current buying and selling processes and their performance. Using Value Stream Mapping, you will map your customer's "current state buying process" and your "current state selling process." During this phase, you should focus on the reality and not what you want the process to be. Focus on what it is without judgment.
Analyze:In this step, you and your customers analyze the buying process map to identify redundant activities, reworks, multiple approvals or reviews, and gaps where the process slows downs. The goal is to work with your customers to improve their buying process and gain insight into how to make your sales process mirror their buying process. Upon completion of the analysis, you should create a "future state buying process" map that will become the customer's new and improved method of buying.
Improve:Improvement now focuses on your selling process. Examine your selling process in comparison to the new future state map of your customer's buying process and the variances and differences will become obvious. You are likely to see that you have placed emphasis on the wrong steps in the selling process. You'll see where the customers may "wait" for you to take action and, thus, where you slow their buying process. Armed with the knowledge of where your process doesn't align with theirs, you now can reconfigure your sales process to streamline the activities and get to "yes" faster and more efficiently.
Control:The new selling process should be documented and the sales team should receive training in skills that now may have increased in importance based on the critical touch points of the buying and selling process. Your CRM and CDM systems should be customized to accommodate, support, and speed the new selling process.
The Tool: Value Stream Mapping
Value Stream Mapping is the critical tool used in measuring and analyzing your selling process and your customer's buying process. As mentioned above, Value Stream Mapping is a more in-depth version of a process flow chart:
The addition of mapping the communication flow in a Value Stream Map distinguishes it from a process flow map and gives it additional value over the basic process flow. Don't listen to the skeptic who will tell you that Value Stream Mapping is overly complicated and beyond what you need. In the hands of experts, it can be. But there is no need to make the project difficult, and even a simple Value Stream map will help you rebuild your sales process to parallel your customer's buying process. Here are some suggestions on how to approach the mapping project:
The greatest value in Value Stream Mapping is its view of the communication flow—a practice always ripe for improvement. I recommend taking things one step further once you have created the new sales process and adding the communication flow to the process map (this flow is depicted above the main process flow blocks). My bet is you will find several "aha," moments when you look at the strings of communication and see how much it resembles a plate of spaghetti. This is your opportunity to improve internal efficiency by reducing approvals or reviews, eliminating reworks, combining information, and limiting ineffective back-and-forth communication as much as possible.
Creating a sales and marketing process that mirrors your customer's buying process will shorten the cycle, increase your closing percentage, reduce sale team frustration and create happy long-term customers. Value Stream Mapping is the perfect tool to accomplish this.

Katy Art Mixer: ALL SHAPES on February 2nd
The Katy Culture & Arts Alliance and Multiplicity present
the Art of CAROL ADAMS & MIKE HORN for the first time!
Carol is a native Houstonian residing in Katy since 1992. She describes her works as:
"I love the freedom of working with wood. I don't always know what I am working with, so I never know what I'll find as the wood turns on the lathe. Each piece creates itself and as the rings and grain are revealed you learn about what may have happened both to the tree and in the world it grew in. You don't get a second chance when working with wood, if you mess up it is ruined. So this medium, like life, comes with the potential for great disappointment or great satisfaction."
Mike is a newcomer to Katy, recently moving to our area a few months ago. He is originally from Rifle, Colorado and has been working with his ink and metal medium for 12 years.

Since the candy canes melted all over our tree decorations back in 1997, we haven't bothered with a Christmas tree. On a whim, we decided to put up our own Charlie Brown kind of tree last Thursday.
We cleaned out a corner of the living room and went to find the perfect tree. The perfect tree is the first one I saw. Easy! After finding a tall and wide vase and round stones to stabilize the tree, we begin to rummage around the house for the tree decor. We find cardboard and foil for the star and man in the moon and use three bits of foil to create round ornaments using paper clips to hang them with care. Large gaudy earrings make great light weight sparkle. I find sewing notions in red and gold to drape on the tree. Some saved silver ribbon gift packaging works great for tinsel. The tree skirt is an unfinished quilt piece. We also found three small ribbon and a few bits of fake holly leaves and berries to add to the tree.
Otis is proud of his first Christmas with us!
This is our 'dog chair'; we don't care how it looks.
I decided to make some paper candy canes for our little Charlie Brown tree.
Enjoy your day!

Alastair Magnaldo
Changement de quartierAbout this photograph
The reproduction of the landscape is the source of his work. In effect, the photographic representation of landscapes although excellently executed by many authors has limits: a landscape goes well beyond its strict representation, it is an invitation. For Alastair Magnaldo it is an invitation to dreams and poetry, where each detail has its own sense, each element its use, each scene its story to tell.Who has never dreamt of sleeping in cotton-wool clouds, to twirl amongst the stars and to rub shoulders with the moon? These are childish, simple emotions, inevitably constrained in some place by a traditional photographic reduction that he wanted to bring out in all simplicity.When his children invaded the field of vision, it was them of course that he began to direct. It is their false naivety and their freshness, which during a beautiful moment makes it believable.It is to this almost magical moment removed from real and daily life, which comes from the bottom of everyone?s dreams, that this work of creation is completely dedicated.Everything, or nearly everything converges there: the almost systematic insertion of an observer to which the spectator cannot prevent themselves from embodying, with a play on distances and dimensions to delete the fullness of photographic paper and the absence of aesthetic effect not exclusively serving the creative cause. His reasoning is a product of a creative gesture subjected to the originality of each story. Each photograph must be a totally separate creation with its own idea.Read more Read less

Alastair Magnaldo first encountered photography when he was ten years old, captivated by illuminated black and white prints. This luminous vision of photography has stayed with him. He tries to capture this light in his compositions. Colour is used for the unique purpose of adding atmosphere. Alastair Magnaldo is a scientist by training and remains attached to an experimental and creative approach. He decided to perfect his technique in order to free himself from technical constraints. Some of his photographs are photomontage, but others not and the viewer cannot be certain. What the photographer calls 'digital prints' result from this approach.

'Blue is the Warmest Color' Wins Top Honor at Cannes
CANNES:–Amid tears, embraces and a rousing standing ovation, the 66th Cannes Festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or for best film was won by "Blue is the Warmest Color," by Franco-Tunisian director, Abdellatif Kechiche. In an unusual gesture, Steven Spielberg and his jury decided that the award is to be shared between the director and the film's two leading actresses, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, whose exceptional performances were the talk of the town.
"Blue is the Warmest Color" ("La Vie d'Adèle"), a passionate lesbian love story between between a 15-year-old girl, Adèle, and Emma a sensual blue-haired painter, has been the critics' favorite since it screened last Thursday.

Well, it's about a week late in posting, but another personal note on another first kill for our guild. Last Sunday, we dropped Hydross on our 2nd night of attempts.
In all honesty, we would have downed this guy on our first night had I not missed one important piece of information. During the transition from one phase to the next, I was under the assumption that it was a total and complete aggro wipe. This is not the case, it is only a partial aggro wipe. I am not sure of the exact mechanics, but know that it is not a 100% complete aggro wipe.
I was tanking Nature, so our Frost tank would initiate aggro. Since I was going to pick it up after the transition, I mainly focused on conserving rage and making sure debuffs were applied. I did not concern myself with building threat (again, I assumed complete aggro wipe). When we transitioned to poison, every time, Hydross would be line it for someone, often going back across into Frost, spawning more adds, and ensuring a wipe.
I kept chalking it up to too many dots, or overaggro. I did not realize that it was my fault in not having built up any threat before the transition.
After the 6th attempt of the night, I finally realized that the transition was not a complete wipe. On the next attempt, I concentrated more on building threat with the frost tank during the first phase. Upon the transition, Hydross stuck to me like glue, as expected. That was the first strong attempt we had and we got him down to 40%. Unfortunately it was late and we had to call it a night.
The next time we saw him, we were better prepared and we took Hydross down with zero deaths. Ahhh, I love it when a plan comes together!
We used a hybrid resist prot paly to tank 2 – 3 of the adds and AoE'd them down during each transition. An additional frost resist tank grabbed 2 frost adds during frost phase and 1 nature add during the poison phase. This worked very well for us.
Some tips for our readers!
Tip #1 : I learned this one the hard way. The transition from phase to phase is NOT a complete aggro wipe, so make sure you are always building threat.
Tip #2 : Some of the strangest things can aggro him after the transition, ie, for us it was a Searing Totem. Tell your shammies to keep 'em in their pants because it could cause a silly wipe.
Tip #3 : Use a weapon swap macro to swap to dual wield when you are not the focus tank in order to generate more rage. Just make sure you swap back to your sword and board before you take over tanking!
Tip #4 : Get your guild to start working on resist gear early! This stuff is pricey and takes a while to accumulate.
Tip #5 : You can back Hydross across the transition line, but if you find you need to move quickly, strafe run instead of turning your back to Hydross. Strafe running is very important as you can move full speed yet still block and parry.
Do you have any tips to add to taking down Hydross?

23 Kan. App. 2d 730
No. 77,161
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. ROBERT ALAN BOOKLESS, Appellant.
An action brought under K.S.A. 60-1507 is not the appropriate procedure to challenge decisions of the Kansas Parole Board or the Kansas Sentencing Commission.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; RICHARD T. BALLINGER, judge. Opinion filed March 28, 1997. Affirmed.
Ryan Kipling Elliot, assistant appellate defender, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
No appearance by appellee.
Before PIERRON, P.J., ROYSE and KNUDSON, JJ.
KNUDSON, J.: Robert Alan Bookless was convicted of aggravated robbery and aggravated battery in 1978. In 1996, Bookless filed a motion under K.S.A. 60-1507, seeking conversion of his indeterminate sentences under the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act (KSGA), K.S.A. 21-4701 et seq. The district court denied Bookless' motion.
Bookless has moved for summary disposition of his appeal without briefing pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4721(g) and (h). The State has filed no response. We affirm.
On appeal, Bookless argues that the limited retroactivity provision of the KSGA is unconstitutional. The Kansas Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the KSGA's retroactivity provision in Chiles v. State, 254 Kan. 888, 903, 869 P.2d 707, cert. denied 130 L. Ed. 2d 88 (1994). In his motion, Bookless concedes that Chiles is controlling. Therefore, this claim must be rejected.
Bookless raises three additional arguments in his appeal. First, Bookless contends that the Kansas Parole Board is partial and biased in its own favor. Second, he claims that refusal to convert his sentence violates K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 22-3717(n) and K.A.R. 44-6-107. Finally, Bookless argues that his constitutional rights have been violated by the Kansas Sentencing Commission's alleged failure to adhere to its statutory mandate to maintain prison populations. All of these arguments must be rejected.
Bookless brought this action in the district court of Sedgwick County, where he was originally sentenced. Bookless is incarcerated, however, in Leavenworth County. An action under K.S.A. 60-1507 is not the appropriate means to raise challenges to the action or inaction of the Kansas Parole Board or the Kansas Sentencing Commission. Cf. Lamb v. Kansas Parole Board, 15 Kan. App. 2d 606, 608, 812 P.2d 761 (1991) (habeas corpus action under K.S.A. 60-1501 is the proper means to challenge any decision of the Kansas Parole Board).
Moreover, neither the Kansas Parole Board nor the Kansas Sentencing Commission has final say in determining the standards for which inmates are eligible for sentence conversion under the KSGA. The conversion of an indeterminate sentence "is an act of grace on the part of the legislature." State v. Fierro, 257 Kan. 639, 649, 895 P.2d 186 (1995). Because the legislature's standards for determining eligibility for conversion have been found to be constitutional, Bookless' claims in this regard must be rejected.
Finally, Bookless' reliance on K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 22-3717(n) and K.A.R. 44-6-107 is misplaced. Those provisions dealt with matters relating to parole eligibility. Such provisions cannot override the clear legislative intent in providing for only limited retroactivity of KSGA determinate sentences as set forth in K.S.A. 21-4724(b).

Eucerin's Original Healing Soothing Repair Cream is a rich formula with rich emollients. Eucerin's Original Healing Soothing Repair Cream uses simple, trusted ingredients, and no irritating fragrances or dyes, to soothe and help heal even severely dry skin, for noticeably healthier-looking skin that's moisturized all day long.
Soothing treatments with rich emollients that repair and protect very dry and sensitive skin.
Your skin is a reflection of your health.
Sleep, exercise and eating a balanced diet are important to ensure your skin looks and feels its best-but so is a good daily skincare regimen. Skin is our body's protective shield, so its health affects our overall health. And when our skin is healthy and radiant, we feel confident, and it shows.
That's why Eucerin has made healthy skin their mission for over 100 years. With high quality, clinically proven products that can repair and help maintain the health of your skin, Eucerin is the brand trusted by dermatologists and pharmacists around the world.
Make healthy skin a priority by learning about your skin type, skin concern, or about the elements beyond your skin that can affect your skin health. Find skincare products that are appropriate for a particular condition and your skin's daily needs. And learn how elements beyond your skin can affect your overall skin health.
The information provided herein is not intended to be medical advice. Nor is it intended to treat the underlying skin disease or condition. The information is provided solely to:
Normal Skin
Normal skin demonstrates the ideal balance of moisture and cell turnover in the topmost protective layers of skin. In normal, healthy skin, pores are barely visible; skin is moist, clear and glowing.
Our skin acts as a two-way barrier protecting the internal body from damaging external elements and preventing the excessive outward passage of moisture, which is needed to keep skin healthy. Crucial to this barrier function is a hydrolipid film composed of moisture and natural oils (including fatty acids and lipids) that protects and covers the skin's surface. In normal skin, this hydrolipid film is doing its job to keep the right moisture in and damaging bacteria out.
This hydrolipid film is fragile and must maintain a pH between 4.5 and 5.5 to function optimally. So even normal, healthy skin needs the proper daily skincare to maintain the right balance of moisture and lipids. Environmental factors can cause imbalances in the skin's pH, increasing the risk of breakouts and dry skin. Prolonged exposure to UV rays is one of the most damaging environmental factors, and can lead to wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, brown spots, dryness, and serious diseases like skin cancer.
Care & Treatment
The first step to maintaining healthy skin is keeping your skin clean. Use the right cleanser that removes dirt without stripping those protective lipids, and always use warm water, not hot. Hot water and abrasive soaps can remove protective lipids and can damage your skin over time.
Moisturizing lotions, creams and gels are vital because they help bind water to the skin and prevent moisture loss. For normal skin, it's important to find gentle products that support the skin's protective properties. Even the healthiest skin can become irritated and imbalanced with products that contain harsh ingredients or fragrances.
Sunscreen is also recommended to protect skin from the cellular damage caused by the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Dry Skin
Dry skin is extremely common and is experienced by almost everyone at some point in his or her lifetime. In some cases it can be genetic-one can be predisposed to having a drier type of skin. But in many cases, dry skin occurs due to external factors like extremes in climate, UV sunlight rays, and from exposure to chemicals and detergents that strip moisture away from the topmost protective layers of skin.
Our skin acts as a two-way barrier protecting the internal body from external elements and preventing the excessive outward passage of water and electrolytes. Dry skin is the result of decreased moisture in the top layers of our skin's epidermis (the stratum corneum), which weakens its protective function and can affect the appearance of skin. Maintaining the right moisture balance in the top layers of the skin's epidermis is important in managing dry skin conditions and keeping skin healthy, hydrated and smooth.
Helping to keep the skin's balance of moisture and protection is a hydrolipid film composed of moisture and natural oils (including fatty acids and lipids) that covers the skin's surface. In dry skin, this film has become impaired, leading to moisture loss and dryness. Excessive showering and bathing, especially in hot water, washes away these protective oils. And many soaps and detergents can strip natural moisture. Cold winter weather, wind, heat and excessive sun exposure can all disturb skin's natural hydration levels and lead to dry skin.
In addition to external factors, there are many conditions, such as eczema and atopic dermatitis and psoriasis that can cause extremely dry skin. Dry skin is also a side effect of diabetes. And as aging skin loses its capacity to retain moisture, the result is often dryness and wrinkles.
Dry skin can also become flaky, rough or bumpy. Keratosis Pilaris is a common dry skin condition that causes rough skin bumps, usually on arms and legs.
Care & Treatment
When treating dry skin, always use a mild, soap-free cleanser. Avoid hot water, which can dry out skin further, and within a few minutes after bathing, apply an effective moisturizer to seal moisture into the skin. Whether caused by genetics, temperature changes or chemical irritants, dry skin needs the right skincare products designed to increase the skin's water-binding capacities and prevent the loss of moisture from the deepest skin layers. Contact your dermatologist if your dry skin conditions persist or appear to worsen, even with treatment.
Don't forget your hands! Exposed to hot water, soil and weather extremes, the skin on your hands can easily become overburdened and damaged. Dry and cracked hands are prone to more serious conditions like eczema and dermatitis. So keep them well moisturized, and protect them with gloves in cold weather, when using cleaning products or gardening.
Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin has a lower resistance to irritants. If you're prone to sensitive skin, you know that it can be unpredictable and challenging to identify exactly what is irritating your skin. While some people are predisposed to having sensitive skin, many external factors, including climate, UV exposure, hot water and harsh chemicals can make any skin more sensitive. Today 50-60% of the U.S. population reports having sensitive skin.
Fragrances are a frequent irritant to sensitive skin, which can be found in many skin and hair care products, as well as in detergents and soaps. Allergens are another class of skin irritants that can cause inflammation and rashes for those who have allergic contact dermatitis. Common allergens include nickel (found in many eyeglass frames) and latex, which can cause allergic skin reactions.
Care & Treatment
Sensitive skin tends to show redness, swelling and scaling when irritated. It may also prickle or burn, feel tight or itch. However, establishing a good daily skincare regimen will help to minimize sensitive skin reactions. Start by washing skin with warm (not hot) water and using mild soap and fragrance-free cleansers. Avoid harsh, grainy scrubs and stiff, scratchy loofahs, which can also irritate your skin.
When choosing a moisturizer, look for one that's formulated for sensitive skin and fragrance-free. Be wary of "botanical" ingredients, too; some essential oils can irritate sensitive skin. Heat and sun exposure can also be an irritant to sensitive skin, so always remember the sunscreen. And unless you're using a line of products designed to work together, don't layer too many different products on your skin. If you do have a reaction, this can make it difficult to identify which product caused the problem.
If your conditions persist or appear to worsen, your dermatologist may prescribe a treatment to help manage sensitive skin flare-ups.
Baby Skin
A baby's delicate skin requires special care. As its protective barrier is developing and adapting to a new environment, infant skin is sensitive and especially vulnerable to chapping, chafing and rashes. Dry baby skin is also a common concern, so you need to take additional steps to ensure the best health for your baby's skin.
Care & Treatment
One place to start is with your baby's clothing and any garments that touch his or her skin. Newborns may be susceptible to chemicals found in new clothing, so be sure to wash clothes thoroughly before they're worn. Also, a baby's skin can easily be irritated by soap and harsh detergents, so use products that are free of fragrances and dyes. Check the labels to ensure that the detergent you choose is safe for sensitive skin.
Frequent bathing can dry out baby's delicate skin. During the first year, a bath two or three times a week is all that's needed. Avoid long baths and hot water, since both can cause dry baby skin. Gently cleanse your baby, paying special attention to skin folds and the diaper area. Soaps can be drying and fragrances may irritate, so look for a soap-free, fragrance-free cleanser. After bathing, gently pat away excess water with a soft, absorbent towel.
No one can resist a baby's soft, tender skin. To keep it that way, smooth on a moisturizer within three minutes of bathing to seal in moisture. To avoid dry baby skin and potential irritation, use moisturizers without fragrances.
To prevent and help heal diaper rash, change diapers frequently to avoid prolonged contact with irritating wetness, and wash the diaper area with each diaper change. Always wipe a baby's bottom from front to back to help avoid infection. Allow skin to air dry, or use a soft cloth. Then apply a thin layer of ointment to create a barrier between skin and wetness. Call your pediatrician if diaper rash doesn't improve, or worsens.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use Eucerin body cremes and lotions on my face?
A: Yes! Eucerin and Aquaphor products are non-comedogenic, gentle and formulated for sensitive skin, so they can be used on the face. However, since these products are designed primarily for use on the hands and body, you may prefer the feel of a moisturizer formulated specifically for facial use. Additionally, many of these hand and body products don't provide sun protection.
Eucerin Extra Protective Moisture Lotion SPF 30, Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Creme and Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Lotion SPF 15 are all formulated for use on the face.
If your skin is visibly red, Eucerin Redness Relief has a line of three products specifically developed for your facial skin's unique needs.
Q: Can I use Eucerin body cremes and lotions on my hands?
A: Sure, but Eucerin suggests Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand Creme and Eucerin Daily Skin Balance Hand Creme. These non-greasy, fast-absorbing formulas soften and smooth rough, dry hands without leaving a sticky after-feel.
Q: Can Eucerin and Aquaphor products be used on children?
A: The Eucerin Original Creme, Eucerin Original Lotion, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Aquaphor Gentle Wash and Eucerin Calming Creme are appropriate for use on children over 2 years of age. For children under 2 or if you have any questions about the suitability of any product for your child, please consult your pediatrician.
Q: Can I use Eucerin and Aquaphor products if I'm pregnant?
A: All of Eucerin's skincare products are tested and formulated to be safe. If you have specific concerns or questions about using any of Eucerin's products while pregnant, check with your doctor.
Q: My infant has diaper rash. Will Eucerin Calming Creme help?
A: Eucerin Calming Creme is not appropriate for use on diaper rash. Aquaphor Healing Ointment protects chafed skin associated with diaper rash and helps protect from wetness. It's clinically proven to reduce the symptoms of diaper rash within six hours.
Q: What is the shelf life for Eucerin and Aquaphor products? Can I use them after their expiration date has passed?
A: Shelf life varies by product, but most Eucerin and Aquaphor products are safe to use for two years after being produced. Although they will not be harmful after their expiration date has passed, products may begin to deteriorate and active ingredients may become less effective. For this reason, Eucerin recommends that you replace any unused product after the expiration date has passed, or if the product doesn't look or feel right.
Q: Can I get the ingredient list for a particular Eucerin or Aquaphor product?
A: The ingredient list for each Eucerin and Aquaphor product is displayed on its packaging and on its product page, under the "Ingredients" tab, on this website. If you are sensitive to a particular ingredient, or have any other concern, Eucerin suggests that you consult your dermatologist.
Q: I've heard that alcohol can dry out the skin. Why do Eucerin products contain alcohol if they are supposed to be moisturizing?
A: In chemistry, there is a group of substances with the collective name "alcohols." They have many different properties. Cetyl alcohol and lanolin alcohol are often used as emulsifying agents and actually have a moisturizing-not drying-effect on the skin.
If you have any concerns regarding the suitability of a product for use on you or your child, please consult a dermatologist or pediatrician.
Q: I think I may be sensitive to lanolin and I see that several Eucerin products contain lanolin alcohol. Should I be concerned?
A: Lanolin alcohol is a purified derivative of lanolin. It retains the moisturizing properties of lanolin; however, because natural impurities are removed, lanolin alcohol has a much lower potential for irritation than lanolin does. The lanolin alcohol used in Eucerin and Aquaphor products must meet extremely strict quality and purity standards. Further, all Eucerin and Aquaphor products are clinically proven to be gentle for sensitive skin.
However, if you are concerned about lanolin, Eucerin suggests that you consult your dermatologist before using any product you haven't used in the past.
Q: I see that Eucerin products are fragrance-free. What's the difference between fragrance-free and unscented?
A: Fragrances are a leading cause of irritation for sensitive skin. A product labeled "unscented" may contain subtle masking fragrances, which are used to cover up medicinal or unpleasant product odors. "Fragrance-free" means that a product contains absolutely no fragrance. Most dermatologists recommend fragrance-free products.
Q: I see that some Eucerin products contain urea. What is urea, where does it come from and what does it do?
A: Urea is a skin conditioner and humectant (meaning that it draws moisture into the skin). It occurs naturally in the skin, as part of skin's natural moisturizing factor. The urea in Eucerin products is synthetically produced from inorganic salts and does NOT come from humans or any animals.
Q: Do Eucerin lotions with SPF protect against UVA and UVB rays?
A: Yes. All Eucerin products with SPF contain sunscreens to help protect against both UVA and UVB radiation.
Q: Can I use a sunscreen on top of a Eucerin moisturizer?
A: Yes. Apply your Eucerin moisturizer first, and then the sunscreen (or a foundation with sunscreen) over it.
Q: Can I use Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Night Creme during the day?
A: Yes, although Eucerin recommends that you use Eucerin Redness Relief Daily Perfecting Lotion SPF 15 during the day, instead. This product contains Green Color Neutralizers, which instantly counteract visible redness, and also contains sun protection, making it a great choice for the daytime. However, if you prefer Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Night Creme, just remember to use a sunscreen over it.
Q: Can I use Eucerin Redness Relief products if my dermatologist has prescribed topical medications for rosacea?
A: Eucerin Redness Relief is clinically proven compatible with metronidazole and azelaic acid, two of the most commonly prescribed topical Rx rosacea medications.
Q: I don't know if I have rosacea, but my face gets red a lot. How do I know for sure?
A: In some cases, facial redness is a symptom of a skin condition called rosacea. If you think you may have rosacea, or if your skin is persistently red, Eucerin suggests you consult a dermatologist.
Q: When should I use Aquaphor instead of Eucerin?
A: As a general rule, use Aquaphor when skin is healing. Aquaphor intensively moisturizes, soothes and protects dry, cracked or irritated skin to help it heal. Aquaphor will also help prevent chafing and chapping.
Eucerin moisturizers are also very effective, but are more suitable for use under clothing and makeup, because they absorb into the skin more quickly than Aquaphor does.
Q: Is there a difference between Aquaphor Healing Ointment and Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment? Why do the packages look different if the product is the same?
A: There's no difference between these two products. Eucerin made Aquaphor Healing Ointment available in a baby package to better help moms locate it in the store.
Q: What research does Eucerin conduct to support their advertising claims?
A: Eucerin conducts extensive scientific research and laboratory testing, as well as in-home and clinical testing, to make sure their advertising claims are factual. Because of the competitive nature of their business, Eucerin does not provide details to individuals about any specific research they conduct.
Q: Are Eucerin products tested on animals?
A: No, Eucerin does not test their products on animals. Product safety is important to them. Eucerin conducts product clinical and use tests with human volunteers. Other product safety tests are conducted using high-technology testing methods that do not involve animals.

The controversial battle for the Hale County probate judge position was settled after a successful write-in campaign by challenger Arthur Crawford Sr.
The controversial battle for the Hale County probate judge position was settled after a successful write-in campaign by challenger Arthur Crawford Sr.
Crawford won the Democratic primary, but was disqualified after rulings that he didn't follow new campaign finance reporting rules. He launched a write-in campaign and defeated three-term incumbent Leland Avery at the polls earlier this month. Crawford was certified as the winner on Nov. 16. His 3,729 votes surpassed Avery's 3,353 and Republican challenger Bob Hoggle's 1,409.
"Thanks to all for your congratulations," Crawford wrote on his
Facebook page. "God is good and his word is truth." The retired U.S. Army veteran from Sawyerville couldn't be reached for comment Monday.
In the April Democratic primary runoff, Crawford won 80 more votes than Avery, but Avery challenged the results, stating that the challenger didn't comply with new campaign finance disclosure laws that require weekly reports to be filed during a runoff. A subcommittee of the Hale County Democratic Party voted 3-2 to disqualify Crawford in May.
But a month later, a five-member committee of the state Democratic Party reversed that decision, making Crawford the nominee. Avery became the nominee again in September, after a Montgomery County circuit judge ruled Crawford ineligible. Crawford filed a lawsuit, hoping to stop the election, and launched the write-in campaign.
Preliminary election results were unavailable the night of the Nov. 6 election because of problems with a data pack in a voting machine in Sawyerville. Numbers were reported the next day, but it took longer for the write-in votes to be counted and certified by Nov. 16. Crawford will begin the six-year term in January.

If you are here looking for any of my add-ons (SyncPlaces, SortPlaces, CheckPlaces or SearchPlaces) then I'm sad to inform you that these are no longer available.
Unfortunately I do not have the time or the motivation to continue to support these in light of the organisation that Mozilla has become. Apparently spending 1000's of hours promoting their products and providing add-ons to fill the gaps in their product and repair bookmarks destroyed by Firefox Sync, counts for little and does not deserve any flexibility or support from them. Whatever they may claim, add-on developers are actually second-class citizens that are seen as obstructing the development of Firefox. Surprising, as many like myself believe that add-ons are the main USP of Firefox. I've seen many popular and useful add-ons die as authors give up trying to keep up with their constant changes or just get hacked-off with their holier than thou treatment. The stats appear to reflect this misjudgement as the use of Firefox is in decline, no doubt driven in part by users moving away as their favourite add-ons disappear, or former add-on authors suggest alternatives to family, friends, and colleagues.
My decision was taken after a series of problems with them the last one being the final straw. I will not be answering any further emails on this matter as I do not wish to waste any more of my time on this. Also, as I no longer wish in any way to promote Mozilla's products, I will not be hosting or providing these extensions to anyone.
Thanks for all the emails of support. Unfortunately, too many to respond to individually. Thanks also for the many positive suggestions as to where my time and effort may be more appreciated and I am already investigating several of these.

Morrison gung-ho about proving himself to new team
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Don't try telling Logan Morrison these are only Spring Training games. That Cactus League results count for nothing. That games in February and March will be long forgotten as soon as the calendar flips to April.
The new Mariners first baseman and designated hitter cranked out two hits in each of his first two games this spring, putting up a cool .800 batting average that includes a double and two RBIs. And nobody had a bigger smile on their face afterward.View Full Game Coverage
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Don't try telling Logan Morrison these are only Spring Training games. That Cactus League results count for nothing. That games in February and March will be long forgotten as soon as the calendar flips to April.
The new Mariners first baseman and designated hitter cranked out two hits in each of his first two games this spring, putting up a cool .800 batting average that includes a double and two RBIs. And nobody had a bigger smile on their face afterward.View Full Game Coverage
"It was just fun to be out there playing in a Spring Training game," Morrison said. "The stadium is beautiful, the grass and dirt and all that stuff, just the feeling of competing against somebody else. It's what you play for, you know? Yeah, it was Spring Training games. But it was fun.
"I probably won't ever take a Spring Training game for granted again after those two years."
Those two years were Morrison's last two seasons with the Marlins, the team that drafted him in the 22nd round in 2005 out of Maple Woods Community College in Kansas City and then watched him develop into one of baseball's best young prospects while breaking in with 23 home runs and 72 RBIs as a rookie outfielder in 2011.
Then came the health issues, with Morrison getting just 15 at-bats in Spring Training 2012 as he tried to come back too quickly from patella tendon surgery in his knee, then missing all of last spring following a second surgery on the same knee.
Morrison's numbers and rising-star reputation plummeted as his playing time and production were limited in back-to-back seasons. He hit .230 with 11 homers and 36 RBIs in 93 games in 2012 and .242 with six homers and 36 RBIs in 85 games last year.
The Mariners think there might be more in there now that Morrison is regaining his health. Morrison thinks so as well, though he's careful not to put the weight of the world on this upcoming season.
"I think every year is important," he said. "So, yeah, I think this season is important, but I don't want to make it this big heavy thing. I just want to play and show what I can do."
Morrison is something of a free spirit, a guy who keeps things loose and loves to interact with teammates in lighthearted ways and with fans on his popular @CupofLoMo Twitter account, which has more than 122,000 followers.
Manager Lloyd McClendon has little interest in Morrison's healthy following, but he has a great deal of interest in Morrison's own health. The new skipper has limited the 26-year-old to first-base duties in workouts and designated hitter at-bats in his first two games, wanting to make sure his knee regains full strength before pushing him further.
At some point this spring, McClendon plans to move Morrison into the mix in the corner outfield positions he played with the Marlins prior to his surgeries. But for now, he's backing up Justin Smoak at first base and looking like a strong contender for at-bats at the DH spot while showing some prodigious power in batting practices.
"I will slow-play it with him," McClendon said. "I just want to make sure he's healthy. I know he feels great, but he's a very gung-ho type of young man and I'm going to pull the reins back on him to make sure that he continues to move at a good pace."
McClendon loves the aggressive spirit. Gung-ho works fine for the skipper. But the Mariners want to see Morrison play it smart and not feel the need to impress them with his work ethic now, only to wind up back on the disabled list when the games do start to count.
"I'm just going to help him a little bit," McClendon said with a smile.
After four and a half months on the disabled list over the past two seasons, Morrison understands. Though he does insist the knee really does finally feel fine.
"Obviously I want to be out there playing every day," he said. "I want to be hitting extra and doing all that stuff. But given the past history, you kind of have to pace yourself and realize it is still February. I think it's more of keeping it to where I don't feel anything. There's no pain or anything in the knee."
As for what position he sees himself filling this year?
"Baseball player," Morrison said. "I don't care. DH, first base, outfield, it doesn't matter, as long as I'm in the game helping my team win. If we're competing and in a race and doing all the things we need to do, then I'm happy."
And for now? There is no race in Spring Training, which is merely a warmup session for the coming marathon of the regular season. But for Morrison, there's plenty of reason to be happy now as well.
Yeah, it's early. But he's healthy. And he's hitting. So far, so good. Two games, four hits, an .800 batting average. What's not to like?
"Two hits a day keeps the doctor away," Morrison said with a laugh.
And that's exactly where he wants things to stay.

Businesses located near national parks, historic sites and canals run by Parks Canada could be asked to pay fees to help offset upkeep and operating costs.
Environment Minister Peter Kent openly talked about the potential fees this week, while also suggesting that a plan to cut the operating hours of those sites — in some cases by half — could be reversed or scaled back, The Tyee, Vancouver, British Columbia, reported.
Kent made the comments after meeting with municipal leaders from 13 communities along Ontario's historic Rideau Canal system.
"There are quite a few beneficiaries along the Rideau Canal system, as in our national parks, who in this context pay absolutely nothing for the privilege of operating those businesses," Kent said. "Whereas in the national parks there are franchise fees to be paid by those who benefit economically."
One of those attending Tuesday's meeting with Kent was Doug Struthers, the mayor of Merrickville-Wolford, Ontario. Struthers said the minister never spoke at the gathering about the possibility of charging fees to commercial operators on the canal. And he said such a move could pit local businesses against each other.
"It would be an interesting conversation, I'm sure," he said. "Nobody likes to have a fee to be in business."
The meeting focused on the government's current plan to cut back the canal's hours of operation, and its potentially devastating impact on local businesses. Kent acknowledged that he heard the concern loud and clear.
"The initial inclination was to reduce operating hours on the shoulder periods, in the early spring and the late fall," Kent said. "The mayors have been very effective in communicating that there would be significant impact economically."
No decisions have been made, however, and Kent was merely being frank about his discussions with communities and businesses that would be affected by any changes, said spokesman Adam Sweet, who stressed Thursday that the minister is not advocating charging new fees.
The plan to trim operating hours is still scheduled to go ahead in the spring, Sweet added. A number of measures are also being considered to boost revenues and cut the cost of running the parks and other national tourist attractions.

What a nice pub- it's the best from our weekend in Stratford, with great beer, nice staff, and atmosphere in spades. Wish we'd eaten in there.
What a nice pub- it's the best from our weekend in Stratford, with great beer, nice staff, and atmosphere in spades. Wish we'd eaten in there.
It's a 'spoons. OK, it's a 'spoons in a nice building, but that isn't unusual. Other than that? Spoons. Exactly what you'd expect, smack in the middle of Stratford's main area. They were pretty rigorously enforcing the use of the family area, I'm glad to say, ID'ing the one member of our party that's lucky enough to look under 18 when we sat in the main area.
This is actually a hotel bar, but it feels like a pub, so I'll let that go. Real ale, bar food, pub-like atmosphere- a real surprise for us when we stayed at the hotel it's attached to.
A pleasant enough riverside pub with outside seating, food, and real ale. Gets packed on a sunny day, and suffers from slow service at busy times ( we waited 15min to get served, and several people walked out), but the food seems OK and it's a pleasant place to drink.
Right on the riverside again, this describes itself as a family pub by the river, which is pretty accurate. It's not the most atmospheric- another stripped-wood-and-modern pub, but the beer was OK, and the location (with outside seating by the river) is very good. There's live music at times too.
Near to the river and town, this is a typical modern trendy bar inside, stripped boards, fashion-statement staff, 'zany' fur-fabric seats. It's OK, with real ale, but a bit soulless. It's related to the Saxon Mill, which when I visited some time ago, was also OK, but a family feedbag soulless place.
A pleasant-looking pub just on the edge of town: There's real ale, food, and very friendly staff. The food was OK, the beer excellent, and the prices more than reasonable considering where it is. It's part of the Old English Inns chain, as is The Dirty Duck, and it's pretty obvious, though thankfully they haven't left it devoid of character.
It's an Ember Inn, which says all you need to know. The staff were OK, as was the food, but it's entirely unexceptional. Didin't try the beer: I was driving :-(.

GOP presidential hopefuls converged on Washington today to voice their staunch support for Israel and curry favor with powerful conservatives at a forum hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition.
All the candidates were there — except one. Texas Rep. Ron Paul wasn't invited.
RCJ organizers dismissed Paul and his foreign policy views as "misguided and extreme," and barred him from attending the forum — despite the fact that Paul consistently ranks among the top three 2012 candidates. To add insult to injury, Paul only found out about the event when reporters asked why he wasn't attending.
Paul's supporters were predictably outraged. But the candidate took the snub in stride.
In an online interview with senior campaign advisor Doug Wead, Paul defended his support for Israel, arguing that it is unfair to dismiss his categorically isolationist foreign policy as anti-Israel. He elaborated that while Israel is a friend and trading partner, it should not be beholden to U.S. interests — including economic and military aid.
"I think that some not only misunderstand the American constitution and the role we should have in the world, they also misunderstand Zionism," Paul told Weade. "Part of the original idea of Zionism, as I understand it, was that there should be Jewish independence and Jewish self-reliance."
He added later:
We should share intelligence for mutually agreed goals. We should honor our pledge to refuse any arms sales that would undermine Israel's qualitative military edge in the region.
But we should stop interfering with them. We should not announce bargaining positions even before she begins her negotiations. We should not dictate what she can and cannot do. We should stop trying to buy her allegiance. And Israel should stop sacrificing their sovereignty as an independent state to us or anybody else, no matter how well intentioned.
Paul's Israel positions are in stark contrast to the rest of the 2012 Republican candidates, who talked all day Wednesday about the need for the U.S. to bolster its special ties to Israel.
"He was excluded precisely because a lot of the policy positions that he espouses and the views that he holds are not only as you're hearing from the speakers here today, but so far outside the mainstream of where Republicans are," RCJ spokesman Matthew Brooks told the Daily Caller. "Having him speak to our group is similar to inviting Barack Obama."
But Paul may not be as much of an outlier as most people believe him to be. The Tea Party godfather has gradually built support for his 2012 bid, expanding beyond his fanatical libertarian base. Given the turbulence of the GOP field, there is now a distinct possibility that Paul could actually win the Iowa caucuses.

Chalk shortage expected
In lieu of a column, I�ve decided to use this space to alert the public to local services that will be affected by the latest government shutdown.
Motorists in Lenoir, Greene, Jones and Duplin counties will be operating with partial stoplight service for the foreseeable future. In order to save money on electricity and LED light maintenance, all yellow lights will cease to function as of midnight on Friday.
Green and red lights will still function as normal from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. After 7 p.m., all traffic lights will be shut down. Drivers are encouraged to use caution and courtesy while driving during non-peak hours.
Drivers in the aforementioned communities will also be seeing fewer STOP and YIELD signs if the government shutdown expands into next week. Emergency personnel have confirmed that crews will be dismantling traffic signs Monday.
�Metal from traffic signs, manhole covers and storm grates can be sold for scrap,� said Jack Nance of the N.C. Department of Energy. �The wood posts used to hold up signs in the rural areas will be beneficial as the temperatures drop over the next few weeks. Many local government buildings still have active wood-burning furnaces, so if funds for heating government buildings are depleted we�ll be prepared.�
Nance said funds raised from selling the traffic signs for scrap would be used to fund an independent study of the effectiveness of road signs, manhole covers and storm grates.
In order to conserve energy for essential services such as law enforcement and health care, all residential electrical service will be shut down between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Anyone working third shift is advised to stock up on flashlights, batteries and Vienna sausages.
If purchasing flashlights is not an option, the federal government will be providing one candle per household free of charge. To receive your free candle, visit www.house.gov and click on the �Leadership� tab for instructions. Your candle should be mailed out within four to six weeks after processing.
Matches will be issued by state and local governments on a first-come/first-serve basis. If the match supply is depleted before you receive yours, the feds suggest you rub two sticks together and hope for the best.
Capturing fireflies in old mayonnaise jars is also an option.
Federal and local authorities are asking all citizens to refrain from breaking any laws during the government shutdown. Without crimes to respond to, police and sheriff�s offices will save thousands of dollars on fuel and vehicle maintenance.
If a crime does occur, citizens are encouraged to handle the situation themselves, be it through persuasive conversation or through the use of baseball bats or stun guns. Anyone feeling the need to take the law into their own hands is asked to subdue and secure the suspects and leave them on the curb to be picked up with the morning trash.
At this very moment, city utility workers are being deputized and equipped with handcuffs and night sticks.
Since schools are already struggling financially, the shutdown is going to hit them the hardest. As of today, there will be no more money in the budget for chalk, so teachers will be holding classes outside in order to draw lessons in the sand with sticks. Curriculum changes known as �Survivalist Core� are also to be enacted immediately.
There will be less of a focus on foreign languages and more time spent on teaching children how to hunt and prepare wild game. Grocery stores and anything associated with an actual society are beginning to fade, so teaching the youth of today how to survive with a bow and arrow is essential.
When the dollar finally collapses, the younger generation will most likely develop its own monetary system based around shiny rocks or those little silver tabs used to open a can of Pepsi. Youngsters who only know how to communicate via social media or texting will be given a grace period to adapt to a world without the Internet.
�After 90 days, children caught rolling their eyes and huffing when an adult asks them a simple question will be paddled with an old phone book,� said Walter White of the N.C. Center for Education. �The parents who raised these snotty children will also receive the same punishment � unless of course they like that sort of thing, which would defeat the whole purpose.�
