US university students ignore tanning lamp risks – from The Lancet
by admin on Jul.29, 2009, under Skin Care
"Despite awareness of the risks associated with ultraviolet light exposure, university students continue to use tanning lamps to get a so-called "healthy" tan, US researchers report this week. "This is a highly educated segment of society. If anybody should have knowledge of the risks, they should", says study author Evan Farmer, dean of Eastern Virginia Medical School (Norfolk, VA, USA). "But awareness of the dangers doesn't alter behavior in the face of enormous pressures to conform and achieve the 'right' image."" – Read the whole article here: "US university students ignore tanning lamp risks".

Temperature and Weight and AC in the summer
by Jane on Jul.02, 2009, under Keep In Shape
We all know that taking a hot bath can help lose some weight. In fact, heat does help people lose weight or keep in shape. People who live in a hot weather tend to weight less than people who live in a cold weather.
I think the availability of air conditioning in the summer may play a role in keeping people from losing weight in the summer. That may be another reason for people in the developed world to be more likely to be overweight.
Air conditioning may keep us more awake and energetic. But it also makes us eat more to keep ourselves warm. So if you are serious in trying to lose weight, do not turn on the air conditioner in the summer. Just let yourself sweat and you will lose some weight.
Weight Gain and Loss with Noodles and Potatoes
by Jane on Jul.02, 2009, under Keep In Shape
I am not sure anyone else has experienced weight gain and weight loss with eating noodles and potatoes. My experience is that when I eat noodles or pasta regularly, I gain weight and grow a little pop belly. And when I eat potatoes regularly, I lose weight and my belly goes flat.
If you are interested in finding ways to keep in shape, you may want to find out by yourself what kind of food makes you gain weight and what kind of food makes you lose weight.
Synertek Colostrum Skin Cream
by Jane on Feb.16, 2009, under Skin Care
Why do I want to recommend Synertek Colostrum products? I have been using them for years. And every time I used one of the Synertek Colostrum products, I found it to be so helpful.
For skin care, Synertek Colostrum Skin Cream is the best. After using it for a few months, my face looks a lot more smooth and shiny, giving me a good look that I have never had since my face was severely damaged by a heavily polluted environment when I was still a teenager. Fourteen years of damage by the environment since my teenage years and another thirteen years later, at age 41, my facial skin could still be restored by Synertek Colostrum Skin Cream. What a product!
Other benefits of Synertek Colostrum products that I have experienced include instant healing after small surgeries, thus stopping pains from surgeries, stopping the development of hemorrhoids, and stopping colds (getting rid of the colds before they start bothering you).
Prom tips for locating the ideal prom dress
by Sorinel on Jul.04, 2008, under Prom
Once you've used these prom tips to find the best style for your body type, where do you find this elusive dress? With the increasing popularity of classic and retro dress styles, you could head to vintage clothing stores or second hand shops. A benefit to vintage shopping is the expense. It is much more affordable to buy a second hand prom dress than a brand-new gown. The downside is that finding the dress you love in your size is not guaranteed. So here's another essential prom tip: When planning a vintage shopping trip, allow plenty of time to visit many stores. It may take a while.
Prom tips wouldn't be complete without advising you to make your prom dress personal. The 2008 prom dresses trends combine the classic J-Lo inspired sultry sheath with a jewel embroidered butterfly bodice. Talk about an individual take on red-carpet inspired fashion. While you won't find this high-fashion trend in a vintage shop- it's not beyond your reach.
In the age of the internet, there are many online prom dresses boutiques that specialize in formal and prom wear. You can save a lot of money buying a prom dress online. Once you find the shops online, the web-based store will offer you a myriad of choices for prom wear. Even if you need alterations, many bridal or formal shops will do them as long as you schedule ahead of time.
The final word in prom tips is to find a gown that suits your perfectly and inspires your confidence. Prom night is more that a dance and a night out with friends. Prom night is your introduction to the adult world; enter it with the glow and confidence of a shining spirit.
Sex, Weight, Health, and Beauty
by Jane on Nov.19, 2007, under Keep In Shape
This is an old topic. But I would like to give my opinion on it because I think my point of view has never been made by anyone else.
I believe health is the basis for real beauty. To be attractive, one does not just need to look attractive, but also needs to have passion and desire, which only exist in a healthy person.
Being overweight is not healthy. Being too slim is not healthy either.
Can you eat enough to stay healthy but not too much to get overweight? I guess so. Most of us know that keeping a healthy diet and exercising will help.
But here is my trick, keep yourself busy with work so that you won't be looking for food to eat all the time. Some people can really get so busy and worried that they do not have time to eat or do not have the desire to eat. Just make sure that you do eat when you get hungry. Otherwise, you will fall into the unhealthy category opposite to being overweight.
When you do need to eat, always pick the kind of food that need more preparation. This is because the more time you spend on preparing your food, the less time and desire you have to eat it. Also, pick the kind of food that need more chewing. Chewing is what we really want when we feel like eating. Chewing gums are not recommended all the time though. Most chewing gums have sugar and some other ingredients that are not good for health. Eat fruits, including dried fruits (preferably without preservatives), and vegetables instead.
Another important trick is to refrain from sex, especially when you are still young. The more sex you have, the more difficult it is to control your weight, or more specifically, your waistline. Some women, especially young American women, seem to think that if they get a guy to have sex with them, they are better than other women. So they look for sex wherever they can. That kind of women are more likely to gain weight, and then feel bad about their inability to control their weight, and then look harder for guys to have sex with to prove that they are still attractive and to feel good about themselves, thus getting into a vicious cycle.
Another issue is, do you need to be tall and thin? Like the twin towers, things that are tall and thin look more attractive. So models need to be tall and thin to help promote fashion designers' products, and men who need to prove their wealth or success or attractiveness need to date tall and thin women, and women who need to prove their attractiveness need to be tall and thin. Other than that, there is not much need for women to be tall and thin. Enjoy your life, and don't let others control your perception of your worthiness.
Anyway, if you still want to be tall, here is one suggestion I would like to make an attempt to make. If you can have the same good life in the north as in the south, growing up in the north, that is, farther away from the equator, may help you grow a little taller than growing up in the south, that is, closer to the equator. The farther away from the equator, the bigger a living creature, be it a plant or an animal, can grow.
By the way, I prefer cheer leaders and marching band girls over fashion models.
Johnson & Johnson's Clean & Clear Daily Pore Scrub
by Jane on Jun.25, 2007, under Skin Care
I am not getting paid writing this. But I am really thankful to have this skin care product. My face used to be plagued by acne. After using it, my face is now "clean and clear", as the name of the product says.

Scilla Bulbs (Squill)
"Squill" may not be the prettiest of common names for a plant, so perhaps you'll prefer calling them by their more gentrified name. Scillas are charming little plants that happily weather the years. It would be difficult to find more intense shades of blue, and like Grape Hyacinths, they make striking companions for taller blooms. Like Crocuses, they're wonderful for creating a meadow-like effect in lawn. Cuteness warning: prepare to be utterly charmed!
Scilla peruviana £5.95
Scilla siberica (siberian squill) £3.20
Scilla siberica alba £4.20
Scilla mischtschenkoana tubergeniana £6.50

Creatures of the Bomb!
5 comments:
I used to own that strange galaxy mag great cover, nice story thanks alot
- 4/21/2013
- Mestiere said...
Creatures of the Bomb!, I like that title.
"These monsters... they're like... like moles in human shape... ". No, not really.
I wonder why the creatures bothered to learn English if they were not going to negotiate.
I guess the mole men could be seen as a metaphor for the underclass. When they become too numerous they'll rise to destroy us all!
The mole men of this story were surely "inspired" in the ones from the movie Superman and the Mole Men from 1951. In that movie the mole men turned everything they touched phosphorescent, with the implication that they were radioactive. That movie was shot on a studio backlot over 12 days.
I wonder about the wisdom of causing radioactive monsters to explode on the streets.
"The Earth is free... free... But there will be more atomic explosions and then... what new creatures will be released? I mustn't think of that... I mustn't.. I mustn't...!!!" That's the American way, Dr. Lucas. When there is a serious problem we just don't think about it!
Entertaining read!

- Mr. Cavin said...
Certainly, since the key to destroying these monsters was the super realistic atomic science of their introduction, the next atomic monsters to be introduced in the same way should be just as easily dealt with, right? Maybe we can even come up with something more practical than spears?
I love this! I love it when there are so many awesome covers to look at (though the Witches Tales cover by Lee Elias is still the best, eye em oh). I also love the last panel on page four. That art's so great it deserves better dialog. I can't understand why the same writer who gave us "... A SHATTERED MASS OF FETID FLESH -- A RUIN OF HORROR AND LOATHING!!..." couldn't come up with some better raving bugeyed scientist lines there.

- Brian Barnes said...
These were the most considerate evil creatures of all time. They are going to destroy us, but just so no more like these creatures come through. It's downright pleasant of them!
I always had one problem with these "small groups of indestructible creatures." How fast do they move? Just keep getting people out of the way! Once they pass through, move back in! The destruction will suck, but you can also start building a giant concrete wall, of increasing thickness, around them.
We always make fun of the colorist, but kudos to this one, he actually takes time to make sure the drool shows! Drool was always a draw for getting a story into an Eerie pub!
(Speaking of that, Mykal, I know you are out there. Bloody Pulp needs to live again!)
- 4/22/2013
- Karswell said...
If Mykal has indeed retired, maybe I'll start posting more Eerie Pub stuff, if that's what everybody wants... I kind of backed off cuz he was doing a better job of the black and whites at Bloody Pulp than I could ever do.
Thanks for the comments, more monster action up next!

Good Wednesday everyone!
So we're halfway through the week already! And my has it been a good week so far.
It's funny really, even the bad parts have been good.
Monday evening I did a bit more work on CRYPTS and completed the 3 Aspect cards for the starting 3 Aspects. They will be going out in this week's update, but I hope before then to complete the Beasty cards for Others.
I'm also thinking about duel weapons and if they should have an effect? My initial thoughts are that if you have 2 of the same type (and by type I mean 2 1handed melee or 2 1handed range) then whichever you decide to attack with you roll +1 d6 to hit. Not sure about that, will need to test it out.
We've also had a few issues at home what with the fireworks and my little one having a bad cold/cough. For the past couple of days she's been waking up in the late evening and needing attention and soothing to calm her back down, but then what do I expect by having neighbours who think it's ok to launch fireworks in a residential area where people have young children that need their sleep? It's just selfish twats being selfish twats and wasting their money on gunpowder rather than actually putting it where it matters (like bringing their family out of a lifestyle a-kin to a Jeremy Kyle contestant) but no matter, they'll keep doing what they do, and we'll keep reassuring our Mini Moo that she's safe and loved, and she'll give us that loving smile as we take her back to bed.
Yesterday I had the joy of winning an eBay auction for Sarah! It's a present that I hope she'll love for Christmas.
You see over the past few years I've been constantly upping and upping the grade on presents. It all started when I got her a Slanket (a blanket with sleeves) and ever since I've had to outdo the year previous.
The Slanket was beaten by a Onesie with inbuilt feet and hood with detachable mittens and last year that was beaten by among other things, a replacement ring for her old and damaged engagement ring along with a ThinkGeek charm bracelet and USB powered toasty hand warmers. This year is looking to be the best yet, but obviously I can't reveal why here (yet).
Anyway, things are looking good, my studies for my next exam are coming along and I hope to be ready for it in time on 30th November but until then, I still have a lot to go over, but not much time to do so, but still it's the last exam of this year, and assuming I pass it first time, in January/February I'll be sitting my final exam of the level. If that's all good, then that's AAT Level 2 done! Then it's on with level 3! :'(
Anywho, time to let you all get back to your own wonderful lives! Thanks for stopping by, take care, stay safe and I'll see you Cryptside!

Hello Alex! Why don't you introduce yourselves to our listeners and tell us more about you? Where are you from?
Hello guys! Thanks for having me here, happy to be part of your podcasts. I'm Alexander Malyutin from Arkhangelsk city, which is in the North of Russia. I produce music as Spieltape and work with such labels as Moodmusic, Save Room, I Records, Stranjjur, etc. Also I'm label manager of the amazing Highway Records, which is my home label.
How did you get in touch with electronic music and how is it that you have decided to make your own project? What or who has inspired you to such a project?
I was a fan of electronic music since my childhood. I've come through IDM, trance and even hard techno before I finally reached house music. I've started Spieltape in 2006 with some melodic releases, inspired by stuff like Lawrence, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, James Holden and labels like Border Community, Kompakt, just to name a few. Now I'm more into deep house and tech house, but melodies are still very important for me.
What equipment do you use for creating your sets?
Everything's quite simple. Ableton for sets. And Logic for music production.
What are currently your five favourite tunes?
Oh, it's a difficult question. There's a lot of good music which I'm playing in my sets. But as for top tunes for the home listening — I can't listen anything but The Killers last album after their show in Helsinki. :)
Where do you normally discover new music?
I usually try to check out promos (but I'm not really good in it, because there are too much promos), tracks by my friends, my own ones and, of course, I buy new music on Beatport.
Where do you usually go for a drink?
To the bar, like everybody does I think. :) But I also like to have some drinks with my friends at home.
How do you imagine your future musical career?
Everything will be fine! Hope so.
Now one of my favourite questions: What was the craziest thing you've ever experienced when playing in a club or suchlike?
I'm not doing any live acts, but as for my sets — I always like to play in Moscow. Arma 17, Propaganda, Pravda are my favorite places to spin some records. People there are very open minded.
Would you like to get rid of something else?
Thanks for everybody for reading this and listening to my podcast!

These would be fantastic for a dinner party, happy hour or even a wedding (like shown here)! I don't remember the source (sorry! has been in my clip folder for way too long!). These would even be cute as card holder with description of an appetizer or menu item on your buffet.... now to get to drinking enough bottles to save up the corks! (the fun part!)
here) or you could make your own. Chalkboard paint is sold at every craft store now and little mini frames are easy to come by too!

A strategy is a plan, method or a series of manoeuvres that you employ to achieve a specific result.
If a person wants to move from Point A to Point B, he asks "how do I get there?"
Whatever plan he comes up with, is his strategy for getting to Point B. Strategy also answers the question "what is the best way to get there?" Sometimes, there are various answers to the question. He therefore has to decide what the best option is that uses the least amount of resources.
For example, it is faster to travel by air than walking and it is easier to use a bottle opener instead of one's teeth.
When you are a strategic thinker, you want to achieve big results while employing the least effort. That way, you maximise your potentials and increase your results. On the other hand, prayer is communication with God.
When we combine the two, strategic prayer can be defined as communication with God so as to download God's plans, methods or manoeuvres for achieving God's results.
Prayer is not an opportunity for downloading God's strategies to achieve your own results.
The Bible tells us that wanting to use God to achieve our own objectives is manipulation and it is described as witchcraft.
Many people are guilty of this and it is one of the reasons why many prayers remain unanswered (James 4: 3). Prayer in itself is a strategy which gives each individual a tremendous advantage.
It helps you to leverage on God's resources to achieve great results. Through prayer, you have access to God's wisdom and power which help you to achieve results beyond human capabilities.
Zacchaeus is a good example of a strategic thinker. He wanted to see Jesus; that is the objective.
He got to where Jesus was and there is a big crowd. Zacchaeus is described as a short man. As human beings, we will always have limitations but he did not give up because of his stature.
So his strategy was to run ahead of everyone in the direction Jesus was going and to find a sycamore tree to leverage on. His action caused destiny to happen because Jesus decided to dine with him. (Luke 19: 1-7).
Prayer gives you access to revelation which gives you leverage (Jeremiah 33:3). For us, prayer is the sycamore tree because it gives us access to God's wisdom and power.
Prayer helps us to involve the Holy Spirit in our affairs. Through prayer, we step into a supernatural dimension (Romans 8:26). Without the help of the Holy Spirit, our prayer points are sometimes inaccurate.
Prayer also gives us access to God's resources. Daniel leveraged on prayer. He was a young captive of war who had influence on four different administrations.
They did not like him but they could not do without him (Daniel 2). When you have found prayer as your strategy, Satan wants to attack your prayer life just like he did with Daniel.
He was thrown into the lions' den because he prayed to God but God showed up there. Prayer, in itself, is a divine strategy (James 5:13-18; Galatians 6:1).

13th Annual BCMFest – Boston Celtic Music Fest at Passim
January 8th and 9th
It's Lucky Number 13 for Passim's Annual BCMFest January 8th and 9th in Harvard Square
The Boston area's annual homegrown celebration of Celtic music and dance, BCMFest marks 13 years on January 8th and 9th, 2016 at Club Passim and other locations in Harvard Square.
The family-friendly festival draws performers of all ages from around Greater Boston, presenting music, song and dance from Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and other Celtic-related traditions.
BCMFest begins on Friday January 8th with the Roots & Branches concert in Club Passim, offering a sample of the innovative, dynamic sounds to be heard in Boston's Celtic music community today. Roots and Branches will showcase After the Morning, a program of "chamber trad" for Irish flute, voice and strings led by Shannon Heaton; singer/guitarist Lindsay Straw, whose repertoire spans Scottish, Northern Irish and Irish traditions; and the Irish traditional music trio of Nathan Gourley (fiddle, guitar), Laura Fedderson (fiddle) and John Coyne (bouzouki).
Boston Urban Ceilidh, BCMFest's popular Celtic dance party on Friday night at The Atrium features participatory and social dances from the Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton traditions, all with live music. No experience is necessary – and all dances will be taught.
Festival performances continue on Saturday, January 9th with BCMFest's Dayfest, starting with children's and family entertainment in the morning, at Club Passim and on three different stages in First Church, Cambridge and continues with programming all afternoon. Dayfest is noted for its special collaborations and workshops, in which performers often unite around a particular theme or focus. Highlights of day fest ranging from "Sliabh Luachra," a sampling of the unique music tradition from the west of Ireland, with The Rushy Mountaineers and the duo of Caroline O'Shea and Tim Buckley to "Singing Along in The Attic," a perfect session to get warm on a cold winter's day with singing some good songs, with fun, spirited performers like Oran Mor and The Kelly Girls to lead the way.
The festival's crowning event, the BCMFest Nightcap finale concert, takes place Saturday night at First Church, Cambridge. Alba's Edge (Neil Pearlman, keyboards and mandolin; Lilly Pearlman, fiddle; Doug Berns, bass; Jacob Cole, drums and percussion) a quartet that creatively weaves Scottish fiddle music together with funk, jazz and Latin influences, will lead the Nightcap with a number of special guests.
BCMFest is a program of Passim, a Cambridge-based non-profit seeking to build a vibrant music community through its legendary listening venue, music school, artist grants and outreach initiatives.
Performers confirmed to appear at the festival include: Lindsay Straw; Nathan Gourley, Laura Fedderson and John Coyne; Joe Deleaut; Fresh Haggis; Nancy Bell; Scottish Fish; Realta Geala; Elizabeth and Ben Anderson; the Friends of Kyte MacKillop; Mari Black; Gus LaCasse; Buttons and Keys; Molly Pinto Madigan; Fellswater; Royal Scottish Country Dance Society of Boston; Oran Mor; Soulsha; The Kelly Girls; Jigs and Saws; Kieran Jordan; Colleen White and Sean Smith; After the Morning; Liz and Dan Faiella; Corsa; The Rushy Mountaineers; Caroline O'Shea and Tim Buckley; and Highland Dance Boston. Additional performers will be added to the lineup.
Passim's School of Music will once again offer a series of classes taught by festival performers on Saturday as part of BCMFest. Information and registration will be available via the festival website at passim.org/bcmfest. (BCMFest classes are not included in the full festival pass.)

Freda Love Smith presents Red Velvet Underground: A Rock Memoir, with Recipes
in conversation with Juliana Hatfield at Harvard Book Store
January 8th
This event includes a book signing
Harvard Book Store welcomes FREDA LOVE SMITH and her former Blake Babies bandmate, local singer-songwriter JULIANA HATFIELD for a presentation of Smith's book Red Velvet Underground: A Rock Memoir, with Recipes.
Part memoir, part cookbook, and all rock and roll, Red Velvet Underground tells the story of how musician Freda Love Smith's indie-rock past grew into her family- and food-centric present.
Interspersed throughout these stories are 45 flexitarian recipes—mostly, but not exclusively, vegetarian—such as red pepper-cashew spread, spinach and brazil nut pesto, and vegan strawberry-cream scones. Throughout the book, Smith reveals how food, in addition to music, has evolved into an important means for creativity and improvisation. Red Velvet Underground is an engaging exploration of the ways food and music have informed identity through every stage of one woman's life.

Marine Life in the Putnam Family Gallery at the Harvard Museum of Natural History
The centerpiece of the new Marine Life exhibition—a floor-to-ceiling recreation of life in New England's coastal waters—will immerse visitors in the astounding diversity and dynamic interplay among animals in marine communities just off local shores. As models of glowing jellies, a giant sea turtle, and other sea animals appear to swim above their heads, museum goers will learn about new research and explore displays of real fishes, mollusks, crustaceans, corals, and other marine organisms selected from the world-renowned collections of Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. A special interactive display will introduce visitors of all ages to the amazing world of jellyfish, and the ocean exploration theater will take them on a multimedia journey of discovery into the surface and deep oceans of the world, guided by Harvard biologists.

Puddles Pity Party at The Sinclair
January 12th
A 7-foot clown walks into a bar. He motions for a soda water and sits there staring at his drink. The year was 1998 and Puddles the Clown had wandered into the Star Community Bar in Atlanta, US where bartender Big Mike Geier first laid eyes on the sad, silent clown.
"There was a heaviness about him," says Geier. "I could tell he wasn't in the mood to chat, so I pretty much left him alone except to pass him the mustard when he pulled an onion and a heel of bread out of his pocket. A couple weeks later, he came by the bar and gave me a flyer to a show he was doing at a flea market. The sound system was crap, but his voice blew me away. I've been in my share of bands and wasn't expecting much from a clown singing karaoke from a boombox. But I'll be damned if his singing didn't get me all choked up."
Since then, the two have become close friends, with Big Mike becoming somewhat of a tour manager/confidant as the pair travel around the globe with Puddles Pity Party, Mike speaking on behalf of Puddles as the clown chooses to stay silent.

Nice Fish: A Midwestern Tale Starring Mark Rylance at American Repertory Theater
January 17th – February 7th
On a lake in frozen Minnesota, the ice is beginning to creak and groan. It's the end of the fishing season, and two men are out on the ice one last time, angling for answers to life's larger questions. A play woven together from the acclaimed prose poems of Louis Jenkins, Nice Fish reflects nature with a wry surreality. As Jenkins writes, they "are after something big, something down there that is pure need, something that, had it the wherewithal, would swallow them whole."

January 23rd
Soul Singer/Songwriter
Candice set sail for New York University's heralded Tisch School of the Arts and immersed herself in the fertile artistic environs of New York City. Enrolled in a self-scripting curriculum, Candice was molded into the image of a triple threat.Embodying the subtle rapture of Joan Armatrading, the robust confidence of Meshell Ndegeocello, and the thespian gender inquisition of Cheryl Dunye, the left-of-soul singer-songwriter has learned that it's much easier to buck convention than to live a futile existence of the square peg in a round hole.

Beginning January 23rd
The art of Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516) is characterized by fantastic creatures, fire-breathing monsters, and apocalyptic visions of Hell.

This exhibition, organized by the Saint Louis Art Museum, explores the phenomenon of Bosch's wide-reaching impact through the print medium from the 16th century to the present. The more than 30 prints on display, mostly from a single private collection, are joined by a selection from the Harvard Art Museums collections, presenting a unique opportunity to view these riveting works.

Not that far away
ALLEN PARK Rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford, who started in 10 games this season, thinks the Lions are not that far away from becoming a respectable NFL team.
I dont think its too far, I really dont. Add a couple pieces here and there, another year together is going to be a big thing too, just experience playing with each other again for another year, Stafford said.
All in all he said it was a good rookie year. Obviously I wanted to win more games, but I learned a lot and I feel Im going to be getting healthy here pretty soon and Ill be good to go, Stafford said.
He underwent minor knee surgery a week ago and said it went well. Hes still resting his shoulder which was separated late in the season. Stafford is taking it slow in getting back in shape, but expects to be 100 percent when offseason training begins in mid-March.
For more on the Lions' 2-14 season, see Tuesdays Oakland Press.

Art, exhibits, booths, festival food, and entertainment were everywhere, and families and groups of friends wandered around enjoying seeing everything. The first thing we saw going into the festival was a bike exhibit, pictures, and decorated trees. None of the pictures of the trees came out well, unfortunately.
My favorites were the giant spiders, a display we got to see while heading to one of the tents to listen to Bill Harley, an amazing storyteller who was holding a workshop at the festival.
While I enjoyed what I did get to see, I'm a little bummed about all the things I didn't get to see. But I won't dwell on it. This gives me another reason to continue working out and getting into better shape. Next year I hope to be able to spend a full day there, not only joining the fun walk, but wandering around and enjoying all the sights, sounds, and smells.
Who knows? Maybe I'll even stay and dance during the evening entertainment.

HRH Anne, Princess Royal
HRH Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise Windsor, Princess Royal
Born: 15 August 1950
Christened: 21 October 1950
Ascent: 6 February 1952
Lieutenant Mark Andrew Philips, Lieutenant Of the 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards at Westminster Abbey, London
Born: 22 September 1948
Marriage: 17 November 1973
Divorce: 31 August 1991
Anne's first boyfriend was Andrew Parker Bowles. Without her removal from the line of succession, it was not possible to marry him, because he was a Roman Catholic. Andrew knew Camilla Shand, (Prince Charles' mistress and the third person in his marriage to Princess Diana) well from days that he and Princess Anne had spent with she and Prince Charles. When Prince Charles went away to the Navy, Andrew courted Camilla and eventually married her.
In 1972, Lieutenant Mark Philips was a member of the British three-day event team, which won the gold medal at the Munich Olympics. It was through his equestrian activities that he met Princess Anne.
On 14 November 1973, Princess Anne married Mark Philips then a Lieutenant in the 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards, at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony that was televised around the world, with an estimated audience of 100 million. Her attendants were Lady Sarah Armstrong Jones and Prince Edward. It was believed that the Queen had offered Phillips an earldom on his wedding day, as was customary for untitled men marrying into the Royal Family. However, the offer was turned down, perhaps at the behest of Anne, who wanted to shield her future children from the publicity that titles might bring.
The marriage was only shortly considered happy and had been under strain for some time before they eventually separated and divorced.

Carolina Panthers
Panthers camp: 'Old head' Jerricho Cotchery also wants to make plays
Jerricho Cotchery has experience being the most experienced guy in the room.
He has embraced being the "old guy," and he's even comfortable with it. But being a locker room guy is not all the 11th-year wide receiver has to offer.
"I want to be known as a guy who can help individuals, not just on the field but off the field as well. That's fine with me," Cotchery, 32, said Saturday at Wofford College. "But obviously that doesn't get you anywhere in the NFL. Teams don't bring you in to be counselors. They want you to come in and contribute and make plays and help the team win."
Cotchery comes to Wofford College for Panthers training camp with a hold on first-team reps. The most veteran member of an all-new Panthers' receiving corps, Cotchery will be tasked with being a mentor in the locker room and a dependable pass-catcher on the field.
But this isn't the first time Cotchery has dealt with upheaval in a receivers group and questions about the strength of the team entering camp.
Before the 2009 season, the Jets released Laveranues Coles and left Cotchery, then 27, as the leader of the receivers. He caught 57 passes for 821 yards and three touchdowns that season as the Jets went to the AFC Championship Game. The next closest receiver, Braylon Edwards, had 541 receiving yards.
"I was the guy who was looked at to lead the room," Cotchery said. "At the end of the day it's about making plays. You're not going to magically take care of the situation. It's about the work you put in every day. I think the guys have that approach, and I just try to do what I've been doing over the course of my career – just work hard."
Along with Cotchery, veteran Jason Avant will also be looked at to help the younger receivers. Those two and first-round draft pick Kelvin Benjamin are the only locks at that position to make the team, which could retain as many as six receivers on the 53-man roster.
Several Panthers, including tight end Greg Olsen and quarterback Cam Newton, have voiced frustration with all the offseason questions about the receiving group. Carolina is without its top four receivers from last year, most notably all-time leading receiver Steve Smith.
But Cotchery, an old head, gets why people have questions.
"I mean, to be understanding, you had four guys leave," Cotchery said. "You had probably the best player to play in the organization leave. So those questions are going to naturally come up. I understand it from that viewpoint. You don't know much about the guys coming in. I'm understanding. I don't take any of those things to heart. I just know we have a good, hard-working group and let everything play out."
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Cotchery might not be as dynamic as Smith but is still a good route runner and pass catcher.
But one major factor that led to Smith's unceremonious departure from the Panthers was a worry about his relationship with younger players and if he would be able to allow Carolina's young stars to lead. Still, the team needed to replace the experience on the roster.
"When you lose a veteran player, you have to replace him with a veteran player," Rivera said. "It's going to be hard to replace him, but I think we're going to be able to do it."
Cotchery spent the past three seasons in Pittsburgh with the Steelers, and in 2013 he caught 46 passes for 602 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns. Carolina signed Cotchery to a two-year, $5 million contract with the hope that he can replicate that production from a year ago.
But Cotchery, a former N.C. State standout, knows what it takes to win. He went to two AFC Championship Games with the Jets, and he got an idea of how a championship team carries itself after three years with the six-time Super Bowl champion Steelers.
"Being back in the Carolinas, I want to be a part of bringing that first Super Bowl here," Cotchery said. "Coming from Pittsburgh where those guys know how to get it done over there, you got to see how they operated in a sense, how they approached every day with the mindset of winning a championship.
"And now I feel like even though I didn't win one there, I kind of get it. I got close in New York, but we never got over the hump. I have seen what their approach was and hopefully I can help this team accomplish that goal."
At Fan Fest on Friday night, Cotchery ran a seam route but couldn't make the catch on a bullet from Newton. Cotchery likely would have been able to jog into the end zone had he held onto it.
He throttled down for fear of being too far downfield for Newton to make the pass, but Newton threw the ball where he expected Cotchery to be had he kept his speed.
"From my point it's just understanding where he wants to throw the ball on that particular play and what I was thinking on that particular play," Cotchery said. "It's just communicating. It's OK. I'll still get it done."
After an afternoon of meetings before Saturday night's practice, Cotchery asked Newton about the play, and it turned out Cotchery was right.
Now he knows Newton can make that throw, and Cotchery promised that wouldn't happen again.

This 450pp book summarizes Owen's 20+ years of experience in the water/wastewater sector. The message of his book is in the subtitle ("why urban water for all is essential, achievable and affordable") and the means of delivering on that message is in his analysis of how basic water services are allowed to fail through a combination of political neglect, counterproductive ideology, and weak performance incentives.
The book has 10 chapters. It begins with the goal (Safe Water and Risk), defines the situation and explains supply technology (Water Cycle, Supply Management, Sewerage), introduces the user (Demand Management, Affordability and Choice), looks into the main challenges of spending money and aligning incentives (The Paradox of Bottled Water, Fear and Finance, Private Vice; Public Virtue) and then ends with a New Vision.
In all, these chapters provide plenty of detailed, documented information along with a clear analysis of the real (as opposed to imaginary or naive) issues. Owen has degrees in Environmental Biology and Applied Ecology, so his strong quantitive analysis complements his experience in analyzing and advising the sector. If there's one fault in this book, it's that it's too long and too thorough for most people.*
I will not go through the details, but there is plenty here to allow a beginner to grasp the goals, operations and challenges in the water/wastewater sectors as well as how policies and attitudes have kept that sector from delivering water to its many potential customers. In many cases, service failure results from water's paradoxical nature as an essential good that's ridiculously cheap to supply:
Power cuts invariably take place when you have been tapping away at something unusually compelling and lucid on your PC that has not been saved. This is a blip. In water, you don't get outages, you get outrages. This is one of the paradoxes with water, the more value-added the service, the more cheerfully lapses are accepted. But the political media angst when the water utility comes up short is not a pretty sight, and this is why the water and wastewater utilities can be so risk-averse [p 47].That anxiety -- and pressure to minimize prices -- hampers the sector.**
I read this book while "on mission" in Kazahkstan last year. The problems of the water services sector there are identical to those Owen identifies: prices are too low and government transfers too stingy for the sector to maintain -- let alone improve --- services. Owen should get his book translated into Russian and air-dropped in the EX-USSR. They've gone from excellent water services to "developing country" in only 30 years through a combination of mismanagement, corruption and starving the utilities of adequate funding.
The book also discusses several issues that I have covered here but deserve repetition, i.e., why there are more mobile phones than toilets in the developing world (hint: monopolies), how the UN has underestimated (and underserved) the
Bottom Line: I give this book FOUR STARS for providing abundant evidence on the importance of water services for all and clear, documented arguments on how that service can be achieved through "commitment (against corruption and a desire to deliver service extension), consistency (in policy development and implementation, free from conflict between competing regulators), and capacities (build capacity for regulation and implementation so that the benefits of capital spending justify the costs and that utilities have to justify their performance or face financial penalties)" [pp 428-29].
For all my reviews, go here.
* My Living with Water Scarcity boiled down the ideas in my 80,000-word End of Abundance to 30,000 words without much loss for most readers. (TEoA is still useful to those who want a better-documented, deeper exploration of the issues.)
** Owen read an early draft of my paper ("The struggle for residential water metering in England and Wales") and gave me very helpful comments on how the privatized utilities in England are less trusted than the "social enterprise" that runs Welsh Water in a way that directs "profits" to projects customers care about. That paper also explores how competition among Welsh Water, Scottish Water and 15-20 private English firms has led them to better service, without regard to their ownership structure.
