Reports on the British Junior Chess Championship
Report of Week 1 from Tim Kett :
The British Championships are becoming a happy hunting ground in recent years for a growing band of young Welsh chessplayers and we hope this excellent trend will continue in years to come. In 2011 in Sheffield we returned with 3 British titles - and I set off last week on the long journey to Newcastle (with three more youngsters about to make their debut in the back seat) full of hope and confidence …...
While the main Championship events themselves stretch over the full two weeks, for juniors the schedule can basically be divided into 3 parts i.e.
Week 1 – U16, U13 and U11
Middle Weekend – U8 and U9's
Week 2 – U14, U12 and U10
Week 1 :
The biggest highlight was Tom Thorpe's joint 4th place in the U16's. Tom was in tremendous form - he stayed unbeaten throughout scoring 4.5/7. Five draws might sound a bit cautious (!) but I can vouch that he was definitely going for it in the last 2 - 3 rounds ! He beat the no.1 seed early on in the week and was always playing the other top contenders after that. His last round game could have gone either way – and if it had gone his, then he'd have been in the medals. Unlucky – but he can look forward to gaining a load of rating points.
The Middle Weekend:
Two of the best-supported age-group categories are the U8's and U9's …. this year there were around 45 in each section.
Wales had 4 players in the Under 8's, and recorded the following scores:
9th= Blake Fisher (4.0/6)
14th= Chirag Guha (3.5)
19th= Venetia Sivarajasingham (3.0)
30th= Duncan MacDonald (2.0)
Congratulations to all, but especially Blake and Chirag – both debutants at this level. They adapted very quickly to the idea of a tough battle every round (no easy games at this level !) and soon began listening harder to their coaches advice, learning their openings and digging in for a long fight every time they sat down. The improvement in their play was clear in just the 72 hours they were up there.
In the U9's we had an even more impressive 7 entries
=8th Arjan Bolina (4.5/7)
=14th Aishwarya Lutchman-Singh & Blake Fisher (4.0)
=21st Neya Govindaraj (3.5)
=28th Chirag Guha (3.0)
=34th Venetia Sivarajasingham & Duncan MacDonald (2.5)
=43rd Emily Wang (1.5)
Terrific performances here from Arjan and Aishwarya. Arjan was top Welsh player and really looked like our No.1 too, with his very correct and alert play. He only made a few small mistakes and was especially eager to detect and correct them in the post-game analysis with the coach.
Aishwarya made a valiant defence of her 'title' (she was U8 Girls Champion last year) and played brave and spectacular attacking chess to reach an excellent 4/6 in this company. Unfortunately it was a bridge too far in the last round and she was overtaken by one of her rivals after a long battle.
Blake and Neya also deserve a mention, the former for his continued improvement (I'm still hoping to publish his last round effort – perhaps even a candidate for Best Game Prize) and the latter for another steady effort and a well-deserved 50% in a very tough field.

Week 2 Report from Audrey Yong ~ Publicity Director :
After an exciting week 1 and weekend with the U8s, U9s and U16s, it was the turn of the Welsh U10s and U12s to pitch their chess play against the best juniors in the country.
There were 44 players in the U10 category, including our very own 2011 U9 and U8 British Girls Champions, Stephanie du Toit and Aishwarya Lutchman-Singh. Also competing in this section were Karanvir Lutchman-Singh, Michael Burger, Shayanna Sivarajasingam and Venetia Sivarajasingam – all hoping to gain valuable long play experience for the WYCC in November. Joining them were Neya Govinderaj and Emily Wang.
The girls' title was particularly hard fought this year and, due to the vagaries of the draw, at the end of round 6, Stephanie was on 4/6 but could be caught by one girl on 3.5/6 and three girls on 3/6 including Aishwarya. Stephanie was upfloated to an ECF 141 (Elo 1778) in the final round but played a solid game to draw and was crowned British Girls U10 Champion! She was also awarded the Roy Clues Trophy for best Welsh performance.
Final scores:
Stephanie du Toit 4.5/7
Aishwarya Lutchman-Singh 3.5/7
Karanvir Lutchman-Singh 3/7
Shayanna Sivarajasingam 3/7
Neya Govinderaj 2.5/7
Emily Wang 2.5/7
Venetia Sivarajasingam 2.5/7
Michael Burger 2/7
Competing in the U12 category were Alyssa Wang and Imogen Camp. Alyssa in particular had a tough draw due to the use of her old ECF grade for pairings - opponent average graded at ECF 136 (Elo 1738) - but played solid chess, securing some good wins and draws. Going into the final round there were 4 girls tied on 3/6, including Alyssa and Imogen. Unfortunately both girls lost but valuable lessons were learned which should definitely enhance their chess play in the future.
Throughout the whole tournament there was great camaraderie and support, which helped to lift the mood after less than favourable results. Ed was on hand to provide game analysis and one player improved significantly after a poor showing in the U9s by simply following advice to 'protect your pieces and compete for the centre'.
The final scores do not reflect how close some of the games were and how well our juniors played. Given how young they are and how they have improved even during the course of this tournament, I have no doubt that we are nurturing real chess talent for the future!
Many thanks to the parents for braving the long drive to North Shields. Next year the tournament is in Torquay, a much shorter journey from South Wales (unfortunately still a trek from North Wales) – hopefully we can get an even larger number of juniors to compete!

January was a wild ride for our facility. I can't really remember a month in the previous 7 years that resembled the level of awesomeness that we (a staff of 5 total) shelled out. We added 35 new athletes to our program, started up with 3 collegiate teams for the spring semester, while maintaining the 4 team training contacts that carried through the month.
It was a lot of fun and positioned us well for the rest of 2018, however, it shined a big light on some things that had previously gone under the radar. I want to share those three things with you...
1) As you grow, make sure your systems do too
This was by far the biggest punch in the neck I received. I've always considered myself a 'systems' guy. We dial in everything from how to answer the phone, how to greet new faces at the door, and programming, BUT what I struggled with was how some of our systems started to deteriorate with an immediate influx of bodies coming in to our space. Huge plug here for the crew at Strength Faction, specifically Co-Founder Chris Merritt, who helped me identify what was happening EARLY on to help avoid issues down the road
Our facility was absolutely getting chaotic. This prompted us to immediately put everything under the microscope. Gym lay out, flow of traffic, storage, coach positioning on the floor, when we station a Coach at the desk, etc. It all was being assessed.
This led us to alter the lay out of our gym space, change some of the verbiage when talking to prospects, and also changing some of our session times to better space the traffic through out our day. All have yielded very positive feedback from our members and have kept our staff sane in the growth process.
2) Working with teams is more than providing strength and conditioning
I made a post in the "Parisi Speed School Coaches Corner" private facebook page last fall when we started at Saint Michael's College working with three of their programs. I wanted to reiterate this point - the services we deliver go far beyond strength and conditioning. If you think that is your only role on a team, you are doing a disservice to the players and coaching staff and also discrediting yourself as a leader. After ramping up the spring semester last month, this point has become more relevant with two of those teams going in to their main competitive season.
When you are a part of the team your duties expand to staying in contact with the sports med staff, talking to administration, communicating with alumni who may be on campus, talking to recruits who may in for a visit with the team, referring out for nutritional questions, helping with fund raisers (that pay for your services...) and so much more. When you are a part of the team, you are ON the team, don't take your role lightly.
3) Communication is the glue to your successful staff (development).
In January we started to implement a second 'in-service' day to our weeks. On Monday's we meet for an hour as a staff to talk operations and keep this meeting purely administrative. We cover everything from how to answer the phone, who's a new athlete coming in, injured athletes that may need programming adjustments, how to explain our pricing structure, and tough customer service questions or interactions. We follow that up with a 'Fri-yay' in-service where we talk all things Coaching. Training concepts, programming strategies, industry trends, etc. It's just pure coaching development.
What I think is important to highlight why we do it this way is two things. 1) it separates the two types of 'coach'...emotional engagement and x's and o's. Our staff comes in prepared for the topics on their respective day and can engage better. 2) We doubled the amount of time we spent on group staff development. I meet with coaches privately each week some candid some planned, but as a group we sit down for two hours a week and just focus on getting better as a group. Going back to point 1 on this post, making sure we scaled our staff development to match our growing business is a key priority.
Hoping that these three things help you and your facility thrive as we all jump head first in to 2018!

Guest Reviews | Key West Hotel Reviews
Absolutely and tremendously a wonderful hotel that by far exceeded expectations for our honeymoon! Started at check-in with staff member Melissa, who was overly welcoming and made us feel comfortable enough to feel at home! She helped us store our bags, gave us parking advice, and informed us of some fun Key West attractions since it was our first visit! Room had plenty of space and was kept very clean! Staff did acknowledge and left a lovely note and gift since it was our honeymoon too, which we were very thankful for! Pool and courtyard sitting area was very accommodating and extremely relaxing!! Daily breakfast and afternoon snack was amazing and makes the Cypress House one of a kind! Was a memorable time for several reasons and we are thankful we choose the Cypress House Hotel for our stay, for its staff, and its incomparable offerings!

It was all very civilised until we got to the bridleway, when Saf, feeling the spring grass, decided to demonstrate her entire repertoire of advanced dressage moves – including but not limited to – full pass in trot, passage, pirouettes and a couple of steps of piaffe. It was a dreadful display of disobedience, but I was grinning from ear to ear! Saf reputation as a stereotypical mad Welsh chestnut mare was well and truly cemented our cohorts' minds. Misty, on the other hand, was perfectly behaved as always. Well, one out of two's not bad!

There's more than just the stock market that's soaring this hot July.
Buyers in the Hamptons are taking some of their equity in stocks and plunking down more for homes along the South Fork resort towns.
The median sale price for a single-family Hamptons house has reached a record $1.07 million, up 7.5 percent from a year ago, according to a report late last week by appraiser Miller Samuel and brokerage Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
And the higher end seems to be flourishing as well, with 48 homes priced at $5 million or higher being sold in the three months leading up to the summer season — the most for any quarter since the end of 2015.
But that doesn't mean the sky's the limit.
Buyers still demanded a deal, however, with 86 percent of houses and condos bought in the quarter selling for less than what the seller sought, said Jonathan Miller, president of Miller Samuel. The average discount was 12 percent from the last asking price.
"Even when the numbers make sense, buyers will still say, 'I don't want to pay full ask,' " Raymond Lord, a local Douglas Elliman broker, told Bloomberg. "They always want to negotiate."

Although many people think of a school as a building where children go to learn, in DPS, we also use our facilities in a variety of innovative ways. In some cases, a single school is independently housed in a DPS facility. In others, two or more schools may share a campus.
Sometimes a school may be temporarily placed in a DPS facility until a more permanent location is available. And there may be circumstances in which the Denver Board of Education approves a school based on its quality, but votes not to place it in a district facility, because another quality school better meets the needs of the community that the school would serve.
In all cases, DPS uses the Facility Allocation Policy to guide our decision-making process, and to support our goal of ensuring great schools in every neighborhood.

The Bundian Way is an ancient shared pathway, used by Aboriginal people for thousands of years, which connects the high regions of Mt Kosciuszko with the southern coast of New South Wales. Around Balawan is a personal response to two field trips
made to the Bundian Way.
These photographs aim to highlight aspects of the environment that may be ignored. Through documenting small, everyday details of my immediate environment, I aim to call attention to these often overlooked elements of country. A way of appreciating and noticing
the environment on the trip to the Bundian Way, for me, was to be present and to pause. The use of a medium format film camera allowed me to do this, as it takes a lot of time and care to set up one photograph.

Gourmet Chef Wannabe 2018 — photo 30 of 34: Two pineapple boats, stained with my homemade Korean gochujang hot sauce, remain after a meal inspired by an Instagram post by PDXFoodLove of a pineapple boat from Trap Kitchen PDX. I had filled the pineapples with stir-fried beef teriyaki, my homemade fermented kimchi (cabbage, carrot, onion, radish, garlic, green onion), and jasmine rice. Heating the pineapples in the oven before filling them caused their leaves to turn gray. April 2018. Camera used: Olympus OM-D E-M5 with Olympus 12-100mm f/4.0 zoom lens.

Award winning author Hilary Mantel writes an article about how to walk the fine line between authentic dialogue in historically-based fiction and being able to engage your reader with clear language use. She uses Tudor English as an example.
A writer must broker a compromise between then and now, and choose a plain style that can be adapted to different characters: not just to their ages and personalities and intelligence level, but to their place in life. I use modern English but shift it sideways a little, so that there are some unusual words, some Tudor rhythms, a suggestion of otherness.
I studied Elizabethan literature at university, and there are certainly unintended confusions and deliberate puns that either make no sense to the modern reader, or not enough. 'Quaint', for example, was pronounced in a way that made it easy to pun on a vulgar word for female genitals which rhymes with 'hunt'.
Hilary gives her own example:
The verb "let" for example, now means "permit"; to the Tudors it meant "forbid." What we call a clever man, they called a "witty" man.
Definitely worth a read if you base or intend to base your dialogue on historical languages: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303459004577363870847167262.html

This year is shaping up to be the most extensively covered year of Bobcat football in history, with three, count them three new websites and/or blogs which are covering the Cats.
Rob Ash Football: This is a site that I believe was created by Rob Ash and associates. They have audio/video interviews with players and coaches, and Coach Ash himself has even pitched in a blog entry so far. I look forward to seeing what kind of video they offer during the season, as I've also felt MSU was lacking in this department.
Chronicle's Blue & Gold: The brain child of departed editor Jeff Welsch, has been taken to new blogging heights by recently hired Will Holden, who has been attending every practice and blogging his thoughts. He has mentioned that video may be in the works for the Chronicle website as well; let's cross some fingers. Make sure to check out the blog portion of the site here.
ABC's Tenzone: Last but not least, ABC has a sports blog that recently was installed on their website. Dave Griffiths has been attending weekday practices, and reporting about them on the blog. Also, on the right side of the page you can view the 10 @ 10 videos, which often show clips of the practices, as well as a quick interview or two.
Now onto some gridiron news. Starting center Jim Verlanic went down with a knee injury earlier today. This is bad news for the Cats as depth at C was the thinnest pretty much anywhere on the team. First reports indicate the injury isn't too serious and we could see him back in a month or less. Freshman WR Colby Kinna injured his knee last week as well, but he will miss the entire season. He was not a projected starter.
The QB battle continues to heat up, with no clear starter emerging at this point. Sophomore Mark Desin (Billings, MT), junior Mark Iddins (Santa Ana JC), and sophomore Cody Kempt (U of Oregon) have all been getting equal reps. All three are very mobile, but Desin has the size disadvantage at 5'10, while Iddins and Kempt are both 6'2. No one has stood out yet, but all three have shown flashes.
The new turf is getting close to complete: pictures can be seen here. RB Demetrius Crawford cannot wait to play on it, and I can't wait to see him play on it either. The turf may be completed in time for the planned scrimmage Saturday, August 16th.

It's getting harder to make a bundle buying up foreclosures and renting them out.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) (January 2, 2014)
The auction prices of homes climbed faster than rents in 2013, so returns on investment dropped, according to a report from CoreLogic.
That's a change from the past several years. In many cities where mortgage defaults spiked after the housing crash, investors were able to buy foreclosed homes at prices so low they were able to make big rental profits.
The practice is still profitable, but in many places not as much as it was.
Read more about it at CNNMoney
Commentary by Bob Karp, Karp Properties: While Sierra Vista, Arizona has not seen the dramatic increase in prices found in other parts of the country, the rental market for single family homes is very soft. Call our office to get more information on current local market conditions.

Asclera® Warnings
Asclera (generic name polidocanol) is a prescription medicine injected into the veins during sclerotherapy. The treatment aims to remove or reduce the appearance of two types of unwanted veins: reticular veins (diameter between 1 and 3 mm) and uncomplicated spider veins (diameter ≤ 1 mm).
The safety and effectiveness of Asclera on varicose veins with diameters ≤ 3 mm has not been studied.
Important Safety Information for Patients
For intravenous use only.
Asclera (polidocanol) injection is contraindicated for patients with known allergy (anaphylaxis) to polidocanol and patients with acute vein and blood clotting diseases.
Warnings and Precautions
- Anaphylaxis. Severe allergic reactions have been reported following polidocanol use, including anaphylactic reactions, some of them fatal. Severe reactions are most frequent with use of larger volumes (> 3 mL). The dose of polidocanol should therefore be minimized. Please notify your healthcare provider if you have a known history of severe allergies or allergy to polidocanol.
- Accidental injection into an artery can cause severe necrosis, ischemia, or gangrene. If this occurs, consult your healthcare provider or a vascular surgeon immediately.
- Unintentional injection outside of the vein can cause pain. If pain is severe, a local anesthetic (without adrenaline) may be injected by your healthcare provider.
Severe adverse local effects, including tissue necrosis, may occur following flow of the product outside of the vein; therefore, the smallest effective volume at each injection site should be used.
After the injection session is completed, apply compression with a stocking or bandage and walk for 15 to 20 minutes. Your healthcare provider will provide monitoring during this period to treat any possible anaphylactic or allergic reactions.
Maintain compression for two to three days after treatment of spider veins and for five to seven days for reticular veins, or as directed by your Healthcare Provider. For extensive varicosities, longer compression treatment with compression bandages or a gradient compression stocking of a higher compression class is recommended. Post-treatment compression is necessary to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis.
Adverse Reactions
In clinical studies, the following adverse reactions at the injection site were observed after using Asclera and were more common with Asclera than placebo: hematoma, irritation, discoloration, pain, itching, warmth and clotting.
You are encouraged to report any suspected adverse events to your healthcare provider or the FDA at (800) FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

JACKSON, Miss. � For Drew Brees, training camp is a breeze � compared to this time last year, at least.
There�s no predetermined limit on how many throws he gets per day, no uncertainty about the health of his throwing arm, no worrying about whether the Saints are any good.
�Offensively, I feel so much farther along now than last year,� Brees said. �It�s incredible, I think, the change.�
If that�s truly the case, defenses could be in trouble, since Brees led the league in passing last season.
A year ago, Brees was a very determined and very doubted man. The San Diego Chargers had let him become a free agent after a severe shoulder injury during the last game of the 2005 season. The Miami Dolphins refused to outbid the Saints for Brees� services, believing Daunte Culpepper and his surgically repaired knee was less of a risk.
Brees entered 2006 training camp with a six-year contract in which only the first year was guaranteed.
He knew he�d have to perform well right away. He did.
After completing 356 of 554 passes (64.3 percent) for 4,418 yards and 26 TDs, leading the Saints to a 10-6 regular season record and the franchise�s first NFC championship game appearance, Brees was voted an AP All-Pro and the NFC starter in the Pro Bowl. All the while, he was thrusting himself into community service projects in hurricane-battered New Orleans, and in doing so became co-recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
Looking back, even Brees seemed a little mystified by how his circumstances improved so much, so fast, last season.
�Last year, I think the thoughts running through my head were just hoping that gradually, each day, I�d be able to throw the ball a little bit better, throw it a little bit further,� Brees recalled. �Last year I had a pitch count at this time, so this afternoon�s practice, last year, I wouldn�t be throwing, whereas this year I�ll throw as many times as I want. So that feels a lot better.
�I can really focus now on some of the little things. I�ve set goals for myself for this camp. There�s things I want to work on, so now I can focus on those things as opposed to just trying to be able to throw again.�
Brees wouldn�t specify his new goals for training camp, but it�s clear he wants to work on building relationships with some new receivers. He knows what he has in two of his top targets, second-year receiver Marques Colston and fourth-year wideout Devery Henderson. Two new receivers who are almost certain to contribute are free agent veteran David Patten and first-round pick Robert Meachem. There�s also newly acquired tight end Eric Johnson, once a leading pass catcher in San Francisco before injuries limited him the past couple seasons.
Also back are off-and-on starting receiver Terrance Copper, as well as reserves Jamal Jones and Lance Moore.
�Those guys are really competing. We�re going to be in a situation where throughout the season we�re going to need every one of those guys, so at this point, I�m not worried about who�s going to start,� Brees said. �I�m just trying to help these guys get better. They�re trying to help me get better, and I feel like as a unit we can really be a special group.�
Brees thrives on being doubted. Last season, he drew a lot of motivation from parallel rebuilding-themed subplots. He was rebuilding his arm. The Saints were rebuilding their roster after a 3-13 2005 season. New Orleans was literally rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina.
Brees bought and renovated an old house in the heart of New Orleans� uptown neighborhood and immersed himself in the city�s cultural landscape, raving about charbroiled oysters, shaved ice and syrup �sno-ball� stands, the beauty of the historic architecture and the warmth of his new neighbors. He has hosted charity events, and this past summer paid for college students in his old fraternity to visit New Orleans and help build Habitat for Humanity homes in a neighborhood that flooded badly during Katrina.
New Orleans will be rebuilding for years, but life has returned nearly to normal in many parts of town. Beloved institutions, restaurants, museums, music clubs and the like have reopened splendidly in the last year or so.
And the Saints are now a favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, while Brees says his arm feels as strong as ever.
So what will make this season special? What will motivate him this time?
�Once you taste that level of success, I think human nature is to just relax,� Brees said. �But our case? We�re trying to take this thing to the next level.
�We fell a game short of our ultimate goal last year. Our ultimate goal was not to make it to the NFC championship, it was to win a Super Bowl. ... And I think the attitude really, now, should be: Expect more.
�That�s for our team. That�s for all of New Orleans. Expect more. We�re where we are because we worked extremely hard to get here, but there�s still another level we can get to � so let�s get there.�
Healthy this time, Brees challenges team, city to do better
JACKSON, Miss. � For Drew Brees, training camp is a breeze � compared to this time last year, at least.

Greater Ohio attended the 2009 New Partners for Smart Growth Conference last week which focused on Building Safe, Healthy and Livable Communities. The conference addressed issues many states are facing today as they try to revitalize their economy and become internationally competitive. One breakout session particularly relevant to Ohio and the Restoring Prosperity Initiative was Best Practices: Downsizing Cities to Right Size Sustainable Growth.
The breakout session proposed that "Since vital communities are critical to sustainable growth, a number of older industrial cities are developing innovative planning strategies that downsize communities as the route to long-term economic sustainability and better quality of life." The panel, which included Hunter Morrison from Youngstown State University, discussed downsizing as a land use tool, implementation options, and best practices that are occurring in cities across the country.
Comment from speakers included:
Dan Kildee (speaker): "Population is not a true measure of quality." Qualitative and not quantitative measures are what matter.
Hunter Morrison: Cities that need to right-size are "weak-market cities" with a declining population. It's a regional issue, primarily in Great Lakes states and old industrial core cities. -AND- We need to look to assets and create civic engagement (i.e. accept that we are a smaller city, define our role in a new regional economy, improve communities' image of city, and make a call for action)
Although some cities, such as Youngstown, are embracing the idea of right sizing, it proves to be a controversial issue that requires deliberation and delicate handling. First we need to address the question,
Is it OK to aspire to be smaller?
If so, how can we communicate the concept? Is it effective to use terms such as "right sizing" and "resizing"?

The Best Boston Area Home and Design Events - Spring 2016
We love spring in Boston for a whole host of reasons. Of course, there are the obvious things, like better weather, blooming flowers, and the start of the Red Sox season, but it's also one of our favorite times of year for an entirely different reason, too: Spring is when some of the city's best home and design events take place. Whether you're a fellow design aficionado, you love nothing more than scouring a world-class flea market, or you're simply looking for inspiration for your home decor, you'll want to mark your calendars for these top happenings.
CraftBoston Spring Show, April 29-May 1, 2016.CraftBoston takes place each spring, drawing more than 90 local craftsman, artists and artisans to The Cyclorama in the city's quintessential South End neighborhood. While the show is intimate, the variety you'll find among exhibitors is wide: expect to see everything from ceramics, to handmade baskets, to works on paper, and jewelry (It's also the perfect place to pick up a unique, last-minute Mother's Day gift!).
Brimfield Antiques Market, May 10-15, 2016. If you live in the New England area and consider yourself a decor enthusiast, there's a good chance you've had Brimfield's opening weekend marked on your calendar for months. The world-renowned show is about a 90-minute drive from Boston, but well worth it. You'll find more than a half mile of fields where upwards of 5,000 vendors sell antique and vintage furniture, decor, art, books, and much more. If it's your first visit, we'll offer you one piece of advice: The earlier you go, the better.
South End Open Market, weekends, May-October 2016. Opening day for the 2016 South End Open Market (formerly SOWA), is Sunday, May 1. While we love the food trucks and farmer's market stands that dot this popular weekend event, our favorite aspect is the arts market which draws more than 130 local vendors selling everything from art prints, to handmade decor, and artisanal soaps and candles.

Assos Chamois Cream 140ml
Assos Chamois Cream 140ml Description
Cycling is inherently tough on the body and the mind, so why suffer more than you have to? Don't add saddle sores to the list of elements you're battling while riding your bike. That's why we first developed our ASSOS Chamois Crème around the turn of the millennium (after intensive research and multiple prototypes). There's been an air of mystery surrounding this ultra-luxe cycling essential ever since. Now in its fifth iteration, our invaluable ASSOS Chamois Crème relies on natural extracts to protect your skin from irritation due to friction and the build-up of bacteria. With 10,000s of pots sold each year, this sensitive cream for cycling also rehydrates and replenishes the skin in this sensitive area, meaning a reduced chance of rubbing and inflammation from hours spent in the saddle. By eliminating the risk of saddle sores and discomfort while road riding, mountain biking or gravel grinding, our ASSOS Chamois Créme ensures that at least one comfort factor won't suffer whilst riding—the other comfort elements of pace and power are firmly in your court.

Mapping and assessing the key management issues influencing UK public healthcare purchaser-provider cooperation
Purpose - The purpose is to examine the bases of positive relations between suppliers and purchasers of healthcare services. In doing so, the paper examines the nature of cooperation between the providers of healthcare services (hospitals) and those who commission and purchase healthcare on behalf of patients (regional health authorities). Design/methodology/approach - The paper employs a qualitative interview approach for gathering and analysing major stakeholder (provider and purchaser) perceptions of their interorganisational relations and how these interactions impact on the quest of the healthcare provider to meet the needs of the community they serve. Findings - The paper identifies group relevant variables into four major themes or "core categories" that characterise purchaser-provider stakeholder cooperation. These themes represent provider and purchaser views on those factors characterising stakeholder relationships within the purchaser-provider dyad. Practical implications - The paper suggests that extending practitioners' understanding of the nature of these interrelated factors may lead to better insights of how interorganisational relations and partnerships might be managed more proactively throughout the healthcare value chain. Originality/value - In the extant literature, there is a paucity of research that has illustrated multi-stakeholder perspectives in the public sector. This paper explores the perceptions of two main stakeholders in public healthcare to map and assess management issues influencing purchaser-provider cooperation.

There were rumors that Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops could be out the door last season, but Sooners fans have to be glad he stayed. Stoops won Chuck Neinas Coach of the Year to lead a banner award season for the Sooners.
He might have been snubbed from Heisman Trophy voting, but Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield won Offensive Player of the Year. The former walk-on threw for 3,389 yards and 35 touchdowns in his first year starting for the Sooners. One of his favorite targets, wide receiver Dede Westbrook, took home Offensive Newcomer of the Year. The transfer compiled 674 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
In all, 15 Oklahoma players were named All-Big 12. Nine of those players were named first team: quarterback Baker Mayfield (3,389 yards, 35 touchdowns), running back Samaje Perine (1,291 yards, 15 TDs), wide receiver Sterling Shepard (1,201 yards, 11 TDs), offensive linemen Ty Darlington and Nila Kasitati on offense, defensive lineman Charles Tapper (10.0 tackles for loss), linebackers Eric Striker (16.0 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks) and Dominique Alexander (91 tackles) and cornerback Zack Sanchez (13 passes defended, six picks).
Defensive lineman Charles Walker (10.0 tackles for loss), linebacker Jordan Evans (79 tackles), defensive backs Ahmad Thomas (68 tackles, 5 passes defended) and Jordan Thomas (9 passes defended, 5 INTs), tight end Mark Andrews (286 yards, 6 TDs) and punter Austin Seibert (42.4 yards per punt) were also honored on the second team.
Baylor football tied the Sooners with three conference awards. Junior defensive tackle and USA Today All-American Andrew Billings (15.5 tackles for loss) won Defensive Lineman of the Year and Co-Defensive Player of the Year. Left tackle Spencer Drango also won Offensive Lineman of the Year for the second consecutive season. Both were named unanimous All-Big 12 First Team players.
Biletnikoff finalist Corey Coleman (1,363 yards, 20 touchdowns) and cornerback Xavien Howard (5 interceptions) joined those two on the first team. Offensive lineman Jarrell Broxton and Kyle Fuller led five Bears on the second team. They were joined by running back Shock Linwood (1,329 yards, 10 TDs), true sophomore wide receiver KD Cannon (828 yards, 6 TDs) and former All-American Shawn Oakman (14.5 TFLs).
Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah was also named Co-Defensive Player of the Year and a unanimous first team pick after leading the Big 12 with 13 sacks and 19 QB hurries. He was joined on the first team by tight end Blake Jarwin (190 yards, 2 TDs) and defensive back Kevin Peterson (7 passes defended, 4.5 TFLs).
Defensive lineman Jimmy Bean (10.5 tackles for loss) had a blazing start to the season through eight games, but injuries kept him to the second team. He was joined by breakout wide receiver James Washington (1,077 yards, 10 TDs) and defensive back Jordan Sterns (103 tackles).
TCU wide receiver Josh Doctson missed two games, but still had the yardage to be named the lone unanimous wide receiver pick to the All-Big 12 Second Team. He was joined on the first team by offensive lineman Joey Hunt, safety Derrick Kindred (79 tackles) and defensive tackle Davion Pierson (6.0 tackles for loss).
Former Heisman hopeful quarterback Trevone Boykin (3,575 passing yards, 612 rushing yards, 40 total TDs) was relegated to the second team, along with offensive lineman Halapoulivaati Vaitai and kicker Jaden Oberkrom (107 points).
Texas Tech left tackle Le'Raven Clark was named unanimously to the first team. He was joined by running back DeAndre Washington (1,455 yards, 14 TDs), who edged West Virginia running back Wendell Smallwood for the league lead in rushing yards. Jakeem Grant was named second team as both a wide receiver and returner.
Texas freshman linebacker Malik Jefferson won Defensive Freshman of the Year after posting 61 tackles and 9.5 tackles for loss in 10 games. The Longhorns had only two representative on the second team: linebacker Peter Jinkens (75 tackles) and fullback Alex De La Torre.

If you're on Instagram, which almost everyone is now, chances are you've seen pictures of Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and the Grand Canyon. These are some of the most beautiful places in the United States, and they all happen to be within a couple of hours drive from each other in Arizona! We did this road trip all in one day, but to actually make the most of it you may want to break it up into a long weekend.
Luckily Phoenix is an American Airlines and Southwest hub, so it should be pretty easy to find either direct or one-stop flights from anywhere in the United States. We were able to get a rental car there for less than $200 for a week or about $33/day. Phoenix is in the lower third of the state, so all of our destinations were to the north. We stayed in Sedona the whole time, but I'll cover that in a separate post. This itinerary is for a four-day road trip through the state.
Page is at the tippy top of Arizona near Utah, so it is kind of a hike from Phoenix – about four and a half hours. Although Page is a small town, there is quite a bit to do there. I'd recommend making your reservations at Dixie Ellis Lower Antelope Canyon Tours, which cost about $30 per person for an hour-long tour. Your guides will help you get some amazing photos, and I guarantee that you will be blown away by the beauty of the canyon. The next stop is just 4.5 miles away on Highway 89 – Horseshoe Bend.
There aren't any signs stating how far the bend was from the parking area, but make sure you have water. Especially if you are visiting Horseshoe Bend during the hot summer months. The walk took us about 15-20 minutes, and it was so worth it. The pictures you see on Instagram don't do it any justice. You need to see this in person to fully appreciate its true beauty.
If you're looking for a place to cool off after hiking two of Arizona's most beautiful sites- head over to Lake Powell and rent a boat or a kayak at the beautiful Lake Powell! Antelope Point Marina offers hourly, daily, and weekly rentals of power boats and kayaks.
While Page doesn't have any luxury resorts, there are some pretty amazing looking Airbnbs including whole house, apartment, and glamping options like this huge tent on Navajoland. Houseboats are also very popular on Lake Powell. I'd love to stay on a houseboat for a couple of days, but our itinerary didn't have time. You can see reviews for all of the hotels and even book them using TripAdvisor
We only spent a couple of hours in Grand Canyon National park, and we wished we had more time! We entered at the South Rim gate because it is a more direct way in and happened to be on our way back to Sedona. This entrance also gives you the most direct access to many of the popular viewpoints in the park including Desert View Watchtower, Grandview Point, and Hermit's Rest. Grand Canyon Village also happens to lie along this route, so this is your best bet for find accommodations within the park if you don't plan on camping.
The Yavapai Lodge is right in the heart of the park and Grand Canyon Village. Yavapai is ideal for families because it is less than $150/night and some of the rooms have bunk beds! Another option in Grand Canyon Village is the historic El Tovar Hotel. A bit pricier rooms range from $200-$350 per night for the only available night in August, with the premium price comes a premium product. The rooms were all renovated in 2005, and the dining options are getting rebooted beginning in January 2018. However, if I were to stay in the Grand Canyon National Park overnight the hotel I would choose is The Grand Hotel at the Grand Canyon. About 8 miles south of Grand Canyon village the Grand looks beautifully updated, and the dining options look like they belong in Arizona! Book using this link and save up to 25%!
With just one exit on I-17 if you blinked while driving down the highway you may miss Sedona. If you miss Sedona on your ultimate Arizona road trip, you would definitely regret it. Sedona is home to some of Arizona's best hiking trails, amazing red rock scenery, and has been a place for spiritual journeys for thousands of years. I can confirm that the energy in Sedona is different than anywhere else I've visited, and everyone is super friendly. I'll talk more about Sedona in detail in another post since we actually stayed in Sedona for most of our week in Arizona.
Again there are some excellent Airbnb options in Sedona with direct access to hiking trails. There are two hotels that stood out when I was looking for a place to stay, and the locals told us that these two hotels are indeed the best in town. L'auberge de Sedona is where we stayed. It has beautiful Creekside or mountain view cottages and is also home to two of the best restaurants in Sedona. The other option that everyone raved about was the Enchantment Resort, which is built within the red rocks of Boynton Canyon its accommodations look top-notch.
The final day of this ultimate Arizona road trip itinerary takes you back to Phoenix, where you can spend the day exploring the city or driving over to Scottsdale for some high-end shopping! The airport is one of the easiest when it comes to security and has been undergoing renovations over the past year or so. There is plenty of great restaurants, and it is very convenient to downtown, which is why it is number 1 on my rating of best airports in America!
I made a video detailing our adventures in Arizona, so be sure to check that out here! Be sure you like our facebook page and follow me on Instagram where I share part of my journey every day! I am trying to be more active on Pinterest for travel inspiration, and tips so give me a follow there too!

A common issue I have whenever I'm going back and forth between buying a piece and not buying a piece – I want, and NEED, photos to push me into buying! Yet, I find this is such a struggle, so I felt that I would maybe have luck in the future if I started publishing my own.
The last dress I can remember struggling with was my Milky Cross OP. As someone who is quite dedicated to older style sweet Angelic Pretty, I could not explain my mysterious love for Milky Cross. So, when it came up for a ridiculously cheap price, I umm-ed and ahh-ed and almost lost it because I couldn't hunt down enough detail shots in a reasonable amount of time.
But I got it so that's what matters. 😉
Angelic Pretty – Milky Cross OP in Pink
These are the stock photos supplied by Angelic Pretty. Although they are appealing in themselves, there are so many details that are left to the imagination.
This is a 2015 re-release of Milky Cross – this colour was not part of the original release. As I do not own this dress from the original release, I can't confirm that they are the same.
The Print and Fabric:
Here is the official print via Angelic Pretty. However, on the dress, it looks different:
The print has been printed onto the sheer overlay of the dress, so it is not nearly as intense as the image implies. The purple sections of the print are also very….vibrantly blue? Not a bad thing, but there's definitely a colour difference between the print sample and the real-life dress. I personally like the effect of a sheer print, however as the sheer chiffon is what it is, this means it is delicate. A good thing to keep in mind if you're looking for a more hardy dress.
The crosses are also not as obnoxiously apparent as I would have thought. Due to the nature of the fabric, the little bears, cats and unicorns stand out a lot more.
Dress Details:
The bodice of the dress features lots of starry buttons and studs on the chest and bow. They're a really nice touch, and bring out the faint gold details of the print.
There's also a precious little gold cross hiding amongst the layers of bust lace and bows! This lace is very beautiful and soft, and can also be found on the sleeves. 🙂
The sleeves feature soft chiffon bows and beautiful layers of lace, just like the neckline of the bodice. The sleeves are also shirred – as the bulk of the sleeves are quite balloon-ey, this was a very smart touch on AP's behalf.
Waist Bow:
I admit, this is the part of this dress that made me want it so desperately – the tails of this bow are so incredibly spectacular~
A note for curious buyers: the special set version of the Milky Cross OP does NOT have this beautiful bow. It is quite extravagant and eye-catching, so I suppose if you're looking for a more casual version of this dress then I would definitely suggest the special set, however if you're like me and love things like this, be strong and stick to the original release of Milky Cross. 😀
The back of this dress features ANGEL WINGS! They are such a beautiful touch, and really give this dress an extra sense of angelic inspiration.
Whilst this OP features angel wings, the JSK cut of Milky Cross features lace-up shirring in the pattern of a pentagram. So basically what I'm saying is you get the choice to be angelic or satanic. :'D I thought it's probably important to mention this in case anyone has particularly strong religious views – The OP is probably a much better option for you…but then again, this dress is covered in fashionable crosses, so… \o/ …your call haha.
There is a gold back zipper to this dress, which is the same cross design found on the bodice.
The waist ties are….disappointing, in my personal opinion. I'll get to sizing issues later, but even without that being considered, I expected them to be…bigger? Wider? Stronger? Perhaps made of the material/print of the rest of the dress? They're pretty cheap looking and feeling in my personal opinion. For such a detailed dress, they don't seem to fit in.
(They're also extremely difficult to tie, as you can see with my tragic excuse of a bow) ^^;
The lace shares the same starry design as the lace found on the bodice and the sleeves, but has the signature 'AP' found on most AP dresses, which I think is a nice touch. the lace is sewn onto the bottom layer of the material, so the top layer can freely move about without too much trouble. 🙂
The sizing of this dress is….peculiar. Official measurements state the following:
About 91cm
About 88cm
About 88cm + lace 3cm
About 34cm
About 67cm + lace 4cm
This is something to pay very close attention to. Not sure what I'm talking about? I'll guide you to look specifically at the difference (or, rather, lack of) between the bust and waist measurements.
This dress is really a moo-moo, there's no avoiding this, haha. My waist measurement is no bigger than 60cm, so I have to rely on the (flimsy) waist ties to pull this dress in 28cm for me. :'D It doesn't look so bad, but due to the high waist, you'll have to be very careful about where you sit your petticoats underneath – the baby bump look isn't exactly what you'll be desiring. ^^;
Another thing to add is that the shoulders are very small in comparison to these quite forgiving torso measurements. I was unable to feel safe in raising my arms very high, as I feared that I would tear the fabric. Although the sleeve appears to have a bit of room at the top, it really does not. I really would not suggest this dress for anybody whose shoulder measurement (from armpit to armpit) does not exceed 35cm. (For reference, I am 32cm).
This really is a very beautiful, delicate dress, which really captures the spirit of Angelic Pretty's name. If you are a lover of chiffon overlays, soft prints, layers of lace and AP's cross trend, then this is the piece for you. I believe it could easily be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion, either working as the feature piece with minimal accessories, or presenting the excuse to go all out and be beautifully OTT. 🙂
It is not a dress I would advise for someone who is fearful of damaging their pieces – It is a piece I would personally save for events where I know I won't encounter dangerous situations. It is also the only dress that I have in a dress bag, simply due to the fact that I'm very scared that even the slightest of mishaps could see the end of some of this delicate chiffon overlaying or bows. ;w;
I hope this review helps anybody who has been on the fence about purchasing their own Milky Cross! If there are any other dresses that you've seen in my wardrobe that you'd like a little rundown on, feel free to ask. I'm more than happy to help out! 😀

State estimates of not only the number of uninsured children but their characteristics have attracted growing interest with the passage of legislation establishing the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The Current Population Survey (CPS), the most widely cited source of data on the uninsured, has been criticized because its state samples are inadequate to provide state estimates of uninsured children with sufficient statistical precision to serve policy needs. To produce detailed breakdowns of uninsured children goes well beyond what most of the state samples can support. But while it may be inappropriate to rely on "direct sample" estimation to produce the tabulations that policymakers require, there exist innovative but well-grounded techniques for developing state and substate estimates by the application of statistical procedures that "borrow strength" from other data sources. This report employs statistical procedures that allow us to (1) make use of the entire CPS sample in developing estimates for each state and (2) incorporate data from a wide variety of other sources. We apply these procedures to the March 1998 CPS to develop state estimates of the number of uninsured children in January 1998 by poverty level and age. The report also includes illustrative estimates of the number of children simulated to be eligible for Medicaid and the number who would be eligible for coverage under the SCHIP if the September 1999 rules had been in effect in 1997.
Part I of this report is organized as follows. Section B discusses the purpose of the tables in this report, and Section C provides a brief description of the methodology. Section D presents estimates of uninsured rates among children for the 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC), and Section E presents illustrative estimates of the number of children who are eligible for Medicaid and SCHIP, by state. These estimates are based on a simulation model that incorporates state program detail. Finally, Section F discusses some caveats regarding these estimates.
Part II of the report consists primarily of the state tables--10 per state. Three of the tables are based entirely on the March 1998 CPS data without any of the enhancements that we have introduced. They are included to demonstrate, first, how limiting they are for most states and, second, to show how closely (or not) our enhanced estimates match in broad terms certain state characteristics that can be estimated directly from the CPS sample data. A Technical Appendix follows the state tables and outlines the procedures that we employed to develop the estimates.

Ajit Chauhan, Candela Bado, Dimitra Kousteridou Curated by Antonakis
Snehta Residency is pleased to present a show by current artists-in-residence, Ajit Chauhan from San Francisco, Candela Bado from Uruguay who is based in The Hague and Dimitra Kousteridou, who lives and works in Amsterdam. The exhibition is a map to decipher "materials" the three artists encountered during the period they stayed and worked in Athens. A handbook - in narrative form - for the deconstruction of objecthood.
Ajit Chauhan's work is characterized by slow, minimalist, often repetitive gestures. He has a preference for working with modest materials. One body of work that will be shown was made by erasing selected portions of record album covers. They are housed inside crates that function as architectural models of the Art Deco apartment buildings in and around Kypseli. Another body of work is a series of textiles that are unwoven, a process of removing material to find an inner essence or structure within the material.

- Portable Water Filters
- Go Berkey Water Filter Purifier Kit And Sport Bottle
Due to state regulations, we are currently not shipping this product to Iowa
As its name suggests, the Go Berkey Water Purifier Kit and Sport Bottle (1 Quart Capacity) is a slim, lightweight water filter with a single Black Berkey purification element along with an easy to carry sport bottle. The bottle can be used alone or in combination with the standing filter.
This bottle slips easily into a backpack and is great for when you're on the trail, camping or hunting in the backwoods, traveling, or anywhere else you need high quality filtered water supplied without water pressure or electricity (since the Berkey model is a highly efficient gravity feed).
- Purifies both treated and untreated water, from the tap, rivers, puddles, lakes, springs, etc.
- Does not need water pressure or electricity to work.
- Includes sport bottle for priming the element plus extra filtration options.
- Filters 1 gallon per hour; lower chamber stores 1 quart.
- Upper chamber nests in lower chamber for transport or storage.
- 4" in diameter, 10" high when nested, 14" tall when deployed; weighs 2.4 pounds.
- 30-day money-back guarantee, 6 month limited manufacturer's warranty, two year prorated manufacturer's warranty on Black Berkey element.
- Tough, durable, effective.
The Go Berkey, like its larger Berkey brethren, provides excellent filtration surpassing anything that an ordinary countertop filter offers. In these filters, water is forced through the media under pressure and only spends a fraction of second in contact with them. In the Go Berkey, the water percolates through a tortuous channel at a natural flow rate, thus staying in contact with the media for a long period of time and being filtered very thoroughly.
- Removes cloudiness, silt, sand, rust, sediment, and unpleasant odors, tastes, and colors.
- Eliminates 99.999% of viruses and 99.9999% of bacteria and parasitic cysts, including Giardia, cryptosporidium, E. coli, and many other foul denizens of polluted water.
- Reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) below detectable levels, including trihalomethanes, benzene, MTBEs, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, solvents, fertilizers, and dozens of other dangerous industrial or agricultural chemicals.
- Reduces radon 222 below detectable levels.
- Cuts heavy metals – lead, mercury, copper, cadmium, aluminum, chromium – by 95% or more, keeping you far safer from both immediate sickness and long term health effects.
- Can even remove red food dye – use dye every 3 to 6 months to test the filter's effectiveness.
- Great system for the water drinker on the go!
Configured with one Black Berkey® Purification Element the system will purify up to 1 Gallon (3.8 liters) per hour; that's 24 gallons per day if the system is refilled continuously.* Please Note: Due to the outdoor use of this system, the PF-2 Post Reduction element is typically not necessary, nor do they fit within the Go Berkey® system. * Flow rate calculated with upper chamber full to top. Flow rate decreases as water level declines
QUESTIONS & ANSWERSAsk a Question
Can I buy a fluoride filter to fit a Burki go kit?
Yes the Aquacera Cerametix filter will work. You can choose the 7" or the 5" filter here is the link to them CeraMetix Filters.
If you are using it with chlorine treated water or water that does not have bacteria in it you can use the Quickdrip AquMetix filter and you will get a higher flow rate. Here is the link to them AquaMetix Quick drip Just choose the AquaMetix in the drop down menu.

A lot to learn
You're far enough apart in age that you actually get along really well. You just understand each other, in a way that doesn't have to rely on having come from the same cultural references. You grew up watching different TV shows and different movies, listening to different music and thinking about different political ideas, but that isn't a problem so much as a point of interest.
You were different ages when important events in history happened, so you have different takes on the importance of various events -- and all these differences only serve to make your relationship more colorful. You love talking about your pasts, about the influences that have shaped each of you into the people you are today. The key between you is respect, and it has to go both ways in order to work. But that isn't too hard for either of you. The younger of the two of you always looks up to the older, and that's as it should be. But you both have plenty to teach each other, and you both know that. As long as you stay open to the experiences this relationship offers you, you both get a lot out of it.

Soccer-Belgium v England
ST PETERSBURG, July 12 (Reuters) - Belgium play England in the World Cup third-place playoff in St Petersburg on Saturday.
Where: Saint Petersburg Stadium, St Petersburg
Capacity: 68,134
When: Saturday July 14, 1700 local (1400 GMT/1000 ET)
Referee: To be announced
Key stats:
- Belgium play in a third-place playoff match for a second time, having lost 4-2 after extra time to France in Mexico in 1986.
- England are also battling for bronze for a second time, denied by hosts Italy in 1990 when Salvatore Schillaci netted a late penalty winner in a 2-1 victory.
- Belgium were beaten by France in their semi-final on Tuesday, the only game in which they failed to score in Russia, where their 14 goals still make them the top-scoring side.
- England captain Harry Kane is the leader in the race for the 'Golden Boot' award for the tournament's top scorer with six goals, and is level with former striker Gary Lineker for most goals scored by an England player at one World Cup.
- Belgium won their first five matches in Russia to set a new Belgian record for consecutive victories at the World Cup. It included beating England in Kaliningrad in the group phase.
- There have been nine different scorers for Belgium at this World Cup, just one off the record of 10 set by France in 1982 and matched by Italy in 2006.
- England have scored nine out of their 12 goals at this World Cup from set pieces including penalties. It is also a record haul of goals at a single World Cup for them, beating their previous record of 11 set back in 1966, when they won the title.
- Midfielder Jordan Henderson lost his first England match in 31 games in Wednesday's semi-final defeat to Croatia, ending the longest unbeaten run of any England player ever.
- There are 11 of the 23 Belgian squad members who play at English clubs.
Previous meetings:
- Belgium and England have played each other 22 times. Their first clash was 97 years ago in Brussels, which England won 2-0. Since then England have won 14 more of their meetings while Belgium have won just twice, including victory in the group phase on June 28.
- Apart from their earlier encounter in Russia, England and Belgium have faced off twice before at the World Cup: a 4-4 draw in Switzerland in 1954 followed by a Round of 16 encounter in Italy in 1990 where England's David Platt scored an extra-time winner.

Very happy to announce the release of my newest, self-published zine. Titled "New Mexico and New York," it is 48 pages of photographs, all shot on 35mm film.
Here's the backstory on the project. I had accumulated a sizable pile of unprocessed film over the past two years, and when I finally had it developed, I found that the majority of the imagery was shot in my adopted home state of New Mexico, or during multiple visits to New York City. Without too much over-thinking, I started to work out pairings of photos that I believe created an interesting juxtaposition between the two locations. The unifying element was that I took all the photos on film. The final body of work is not intended to be a travelogue of the two locations, but instead represent my own pursuit of finding order or connections between two places that are deeply ingrained in my psyche. Lastly, I did not want to drag my feet in presenting the work to the world, but I did want the images to retain some permanence. Hence, publishing the physical copy of the zine.
In order to aid in quick distribution, I only had a small quantity of zines printed, and will be happy to sell them to any local customers. Otherwise, I am selling copies on the "print on demand" website MagCloud.
The price is $12, shipping costs are additional.
You can find the book for sale online, click the following link.
A personal, photographic exploration of two very different places, shot on 35mm film.
You can also see the complete portfolio of photographs on my website now.
Life is short, print your photos.

My comments
Hello, my name is Alison, and I am a retired administrator, and my husband is a builder. We opened our accommodation business in 2008, after much discussion and of course a lot of hard work on my husband's part, who I had pestered for so long to build. We have 2 ensuited bedrooms, with a lovely large lounge and dining area, with their own conservatories, and are able to take up to 6 people. At first, it was all quite daunting, but we have enjoyed every minute, have learnt so much about the tourism side of things, have never looked back, and have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. We live in New Zealand, and we are very privileged to be in a one of the most beautiful parts of our country, with Mt. Ruapehu being on our back doorstep. We are 30 minutes away from the Tongariro Heritage National Park, as well as the Whanganui National Park. Our village is very small, but not lacking in friendliness, generosity or community minded people, and Ron and I have had great pleasure in helping our community in as many ways as possible. The special side to all of this is being able to hear all of our guests' stories, what they do, what their families do, their tales of travel, what their country is like, how does it all compare to ours? and knowing you have made new and great friendships with each of your guests. We wouldn't change that for the world.!
We haven't received any payments as yet, but our commission was taken out automatically, regardless. When we contacted them, we were told that we could ask our bank to reverse the commission payment if wished, but we haven't done that. Hopefully we will receive a payment this month.
Thanks Graham, regardless of the review we received, we still get much pleasure and enjoyment in meeting so many lovely guests. Thank goodness the others are a minority.
Hello Jill, yes the same thing has happened to us. A review we received was full of untruths, with our guest of course being the victim here. Our cottage was left in a terrible state from bed linen, to furniture that had been damaged. The rating we received was so disappointing, and something we had worked so hard for over the years. We wrote 3 times explaining the situation but was told by Book.com that we shouldn't expect positive comments all the time. That we can accept, but not when a review is based on untruths.
Thank you very much David, that's very reassuring.
To be anonymous is one thing, to receive a review full of untruths is another. We've had both. I contacted B.com to express our concern, sadly nothing happened, and the review is still there for all to see. I wrote at least 3 times, but was told everyone had a right to express their opinions and that we shouldn't expect to have positive comments all the time. I agree wholeheartedly , but not when their comments are untrue, and when it affects our ratings, which we've worked so darn hard for.

Spring Landscape Tips
Give Your Property The Best Spring It Can Have By Following Our Spring Landscape Tips
All across the DC Metro area we are seeing trees, shrubs, and flowers beginning to bloom. With the first day of spring this Sunday, March 20th, we can officially say that Spring has sprung! Make sure your landscape has everything it needs to thrive this Spring and throughout the upcoming hot summer months by following our monthly spring landscape tips below.
March Landscape Tips:
- Apply bio-stimulant to your trees to give them the boost they need to combat diseases and insect while having a beautiful and healthy spring.
- Begin preventative treatment for diseases and insects
- Rinse out salt from the soil. If you have trees near sidewalks, roads, or other places where de-incing salt is used over the winter make sure you irrigate them well. Proper irrigation will help rinse the de-incing salt from the soil which can prevent root damage.
April Landscape Tips:
- Inspect shrubs and trees for post winter damage, safety issues, and early season pests. Look for leaf discoloration, dead branches, early leaf drop, etc.
- Prune your trees. Have broken, hanging limbs or other defect pruned from the tree.
- Plant new trees. Remember to plant them where they will thrive. Pay close attention to sunlight, soil composition, and proximity to power lines and structures.
May Landscape Tips:
- Replace old mulch. This will help retain moisture, promote soil activity and soil nutrients and control pests.
- Spray for ticks & mosquitoes. With tick borne diseases becoming more common and the current Zika scare it's vital to make sure your family and landscape is protected.
- Treat your Ash trees for Emerald Ash Borer. EAB is the most destructive pest America has every combated. Without treatment approximately 95% of Ash trees in America will be killed. Find out all the statistics and treatment options for your tree on our Emerald Ash Borer Treatment Site.
The best way to make sure your landscape is ready for spring is by booking a consultation with our Certified Arborists.

How DOES Cal-OSHA define "Serious"?
In 2011, Cal-OSHA enacted Assembly Bill 2774. Part of the new legislation included expanding the definition of "Serious Physical Harm" to include a 4th element. Well, if you are still unsure, fret no longer! Here is the definition straight from the amended labor code:
- "Serious physical harm," as used in this part, means any injury or illness, specific or cumulative, occurring in the place of employment or in connection with any employment, that results in any of the following:
§ (1) Inpatient hospitalization for purposes other than medical observation.
§ (2) The loss of any member of the body.
§ (3) Any serious degree of permanent disfigurement.
§ (4) Impairment sufficient to cause a part of the body or the function of an organ to become permanently and significantly reduced in efficiency on or off the job, including, but not limited to, depending on the severity, second-degree or worse burns, crushing injuries including internal injuries even though skin surface may be intact, respiratory illnesses, or broken bones
- (f) Serious physical harm may be caused by a single, repetitive practice, means, method, operation, or process.
What can you do to minimize your exposure to "Serious Physical Harm"?
- Update your IIPP!
- Initiate a monthly, documented inspection program. Identify the hazards and correct them before they result in an injury. Remember, you don't have to do it all, delegate this responsibility and a reoccurring due date to the department managers.
- Educate your organization on the Cal-OSHA changes and best practices to managing your safety program.
