Marilyn Monroe Shower Curtain
A post about our new tribute shower curtains selection to one of the most famous women of the last century. Marilyn Monroe was an American actress, model, and singer. Although she died on August 5th, 1962 she's still one of the most popular sex symbols and plays a significant rule in pop culture.
Marilyn Monroe shower curtain prints and other bathroom accessories are quite popular to this day even though she passed away more than 50 years ago. Her sexy portraits are spread all over the globe, Marilyn Monroe curtains make a great decoration and provide beauty and retro chic.
Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1st, 1926 at Los Angeles. While working in a Radioplane factory in 1944 as part of the war effort, she was introduced to a photographer from the First Motion Picture Unit and began a successful pin-up modeling career. Since then, her stage appearance, beauty, and her famous lovers make her one of the most known sex symbols and pop icons.
Shower curtains with her print aren't a rare thing in today's culture, and probably will stay with us for a long time. Marilyn Monroe bath decor theme can be suitable for men and women, although her sexual image, Marilyn was a symbol of independence and women's power, Time magazine called her a "shrewd businesswoman," after her win over 20th Century-Fox for a new contract.
Marilyn Monroe shower curtain designs are beautiful like she was, sexy like she was and are the symbol of change in young actresses against the big studios and women's rights.
Make your own Marilyn Monroe bathroom and immortalize her beautifulness forever.

SENA14: Food Of Interest
--Joel Robuchon
One of the great joys of attending Seafood Expo North America is the opportunity to explore the bounty of the Seven Seas, to gorge yourself on a vast variety of seafood samples. The exhibitors provide food samples to lure and entice potential purchasers, to show them the quality and taste of their products. Without sampling the seafood, how would a purchaser know whether he should buy it or not? You'll find cold and hot seafood samples, from oysters to fried catfish, and recipes that are simple to complex. I always encourage people attending the Expo to broaden their palates and taste new foods, different seafoods that they have never tried before. You might find a new favorite.
Overall, much of the seafood is prepared very simply, and in some respects, creativity takes a back seat. However, you still will find a handful of chefs creating some intriguing dishes. The Expo might not be the best venue to cook a more complex dish, especially as many booths possess only rudimentary cooking devices, but it can be done. For example, the Louisiana Seafood pavilion always seems to do a good job of creating some delicious and inventive dishes.
I taste many different items at the show, though certainly not everything that is offered as there is just too much for any single person to taste. In general, I enjoy most of what I eat but only a few items truly merit to be highlighted here. I want to share with my readers those foods which were my favorites, what I consider some of the tastiest, most compelling and interesting of all the samples I enjoyed. If you attended the Seafood Show, and have your own favorite samples, feel free to tell me about them in the comments.
British Columbia pavilion and our Canadian neighbor does an excellent job of offering fresh, sustainable seafood. In British Colombia, they produce over 100 species of seafood, exporting about 80% and the U.S. receives about 57% of those exports. And what is important is that their seafood tastes great, from their salmon to their caviar. As I enjoyed their samples so much last year, it was a no brainer that I would return again this year to see what they were serving. And I wasn't disappointed in the least. Next year, make sure you stop by this pavilion.
Nathan Fong, a food stylist, journalist, and TV personality, who was born in Vancouver, presided at the pavilion, investing his deep passion and creativity into his cooking. Last year, he produced my favorite samples at the Expo and has repeated that honor this year. With lots of energy, he sourced some of the best seafood of B.C., and created at least seven different dishes for attendees to sample and savor.
Nextjen Gluten-Free batter blend, he made a fried fish. This is a batter which you'll never realize is gluten-free as there is no sacrifice of taste. And this list was not even complete.
Jacqueline Church, a writer and private cooking coach.
Ocean Approved, which was founded in 2006, was the first kelp farm in the U.S. and they grow it sustainability in the cold, clean waters of Maine. What a fascinating local story and this is the first time I had learned anything about it.
They see kelp farming as an industry and not just something done by their own company, and in fact, even have a Kelp Farming Manual on their website. They want to share their knowledge and experience with others, a noble sentiment. They start the annual growth process in September by creating seed in their nursery, and then plant it from October to December, finally harvesting it around March.
Upon harvesting, the kelp is cut, blanched and then froze. Interestingly, the kelp's biological composition allows it to freeze and thaw twice a day, with the tides. It is fresh frozen, never dried, and sold in one pound frozen pouches. To serve it, you just have to thaw, drain and serve. Kelp is very healthy for you, being gluten free and low in calories, carbohydrates and fat. It also is an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron, as well as one of the few foods with the nutrient iodine, which is essential for hormone balance.
Manjun Foods Co., which is currently seeking a distributor. Their Laverland Crunch products are made from laver, which is what the Japanese call nori, the "seaweed" wrap you find on some sushi. They sell a Seaweed Salad Topping, which can easily be sprinkled on any salad, and I found it to have a flavorful crunch, which would enhance the savoriness of any salad. It is not bland in the least, having a nice, spiced taste.
California Sea Urchin Commission supports sustainable caught sea urchin and has established best practices for divers and processors. Diving for sea urchins generally occurs from on the coast from San Diego to Fort Bragg, and there are about 300 divers, engaged in a rather dangerous profession. It used to be that most of the urchin would be sold to Japan, but about 1/3 of the catch now is sold within the U.S. I do love the rich, briny creaminess of sea urchin.
I praised the smoked Salmon from the Santa Barbara Smokehouse, which hangs their Scottish salmon in a brick kiln for a slow smoke. This year, I enjoyed the earthy flavor of their Prime Tenderloin With Black Truffle. This is part of their Cambridge House Private Reserve Traditional Rope Hung Salmon line, and the salmon was meaty and rich, with a light coating of black truffle that enhanced the savoriness of the salmon. It was a decadent addition to an already silky and compelling salmon.
Rumi Japan is a seafood wholesaler and processor, with a large portfolio of different seafood, but their main attraction at the Expo was their Hamachi Nigiri. Rumi Japan uses a special technique, called Ikijime, to prepare their Yellowtail. This is a nerve-removal processing where the head and gut are removed and cut into three pieces. The bones are then removed so only the meat remains and this is supposed to preserve freshness for a very long time. The Hamachi is superb, dense and firm with luxurious fatty flesh. One of the best Hamachi you will taste.
Mussels cookbook coming out next month.

Welcome To The *Lodnon Oimplycs*
LONDON - The telephone at Stephen Holt's tailoring business hasn't stopped ringing for days. Photos of his shop-front window in the English town of Surbiton are all over the Internet. Holt wanted to feature the Olympics somehow in his window display, but as a "non-sponsor" of the Games, he was strictly forbidden to do so: Nobody is allowed to use images of the Olympic rings, or the words "London", "Gold", "Games" or even "Summer" for advertising purposes. Altogether, 20 words and symbols are on the list of no-nos known as "the Index".
But that wasn't going to stop Holt. For weeks, his window has been sporting "Lodnon 2102 Oimplycs" with the Olympic rings -- squared off -- below it. Passersby love it, especially as there is quite a bit of general resentment in the UK towards the harsh restrictions on advertising imposed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Since mid-July, 300 "brand cops" have been scouring the country on the look-out for violations.
Big companies like General Electric (GE), McDonalds, Visa and British Telecom (BT) have shelled out some 1.8 billion euros to sponsor the Games, which works out about half the running costs. Each sponsor is promised that it will have exclusive advertising rights in its sector. And British Games organizers are being very tough in defending that promise, with 25,600 euro fines facing anyone who breaks the rules.
Their zeal has reached ridiculous proportions, as in the case of 81-year-old grandmother Joy Tomkins who knit a doll sweater that said "GB 2012" worth 1.3 euros and was going to donate to the church lottery -- only to find out that she was forbidden to put the sweater on the doll by Games controllers.
Things weren't much better at a South London café that hung five bagels clustered like the Olympic rings in its window. The Games cops were there within 20 minutes and took the display down. And in Plymouth, a restaurant was forced to take its "Flaming Torch Baguette" off the menu: the cops considered the reference to the Olympic Torch inadmissible.
As absurd is the fate of Café Olympic near the stadium in London-Stratford. The Games cops thought the name unsuitable, so owner Kamel Kichane had the "O" painted out on the shop sign. Until the end of the Games, the name of the café is Lympic.

MSI has teased the first CGI renderings of their next-generation TwinFrozr V cooling solution that will be used on the upcoming GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards as well as other high-end graphics cards under its Gaming Series.
The cooler itself features a large dual-stack aluminum fin heatsink array with five 8 mm thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes. The cooling system makes use of what seems to be dual 100 mm fans. MSI is said to be innovating a new impeller design that helps with the air-flow to noise ratio.
Taking a closer look at the rendering it shows a PCB with two NVIDIA SLI bridge fingers and two 6pin PCI-Express inputs. We are going to just assume this is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, that would make the card shown here the MSI GTX 980 Gaming OC? I guess we will have to wait till the 19th of September to find out.

A few weeks back I proposed I should go forth into the city and take on a few restaurants that one reading craveDFW on a regular basis not deem as craveable. I solicited a list of what soon became a dare with those commenting on Facebook. I am sometimes referred to as food snobbish, and nothing could be further than the truth. As long time readers are aware we will write about things we love, and leave the rest of the chaff for those that prefer writing more hateful tomes.
Negative is so much more fun and easier to write. A critical expression is also more entertaining to write, I can guarantee. However, we wish to give our gentle readers something they might actually be able to use on a date night with their loved ones as opposed to a half hour of dredge that is totally unusable. Take all this how you will. Continue reading

SSH Gallery Presents "Kapakahi"
Art is one of the best ways to deal with hard issues facing us all. One exhibit in South Santiam Hall recently tried to do just that.
The exhibit, entitled "Kapakahi", showed the work of three Linn-Benton Community College students, James-Harley Parr, Michael Bosch, and Elizabeth Gleason.
Kapakahi is a Hawaiian word for something that is one sided, crooked or messed up.
Their work was focused on exploring gender and sexuality.
Anne Magratten, the faculty advisor of the LBCC galleries for the past two years, called the works "profound".
"I have been in the gallery multiple times, and everytime I look at the work that's up it makes me ask really important questions about contemporary issues of gender and the different cultures we have that surround sexual violence." Magratten said. "The show runs a spectrum of genderless or gender-neutral and also explores stereotypes of masculinity and femininity."
James-Harley Parr, a first-year art student, had his work displayed in the gallery.
"[My work] is currently in it's beginning stages. I am experimenting a lot with different medias and different topics, mostly controversial topics." Parr said.
Parr's work focuses mostly on exploring gender.
"I'm often times asked what gender my pieces are, and I'm just like 'I dunno'. I'm not really interested in drawing specific genders."
Parr also doesn't expect his artwork to be relatable to most people.
"I don't think you need to relate to it all all, you can just look at it and appreciate the fact there are people out there who prefer to not be in society's box that is gender, I think that if you feel something about it, it's really go, but if you don't, it's okay. Not everyone relates to the gender spectrum," he said.
Parr also likes using art to tackle controversial issues.
"I feel as though art is a great way to bring up those topics and make them a little bit of an easier introduction to those controversial or harsh topics." he said.
Elizabeth Gleason, a second-year art student, also had her work displayed in the gallery.
"It's a bit of a reflection of a lot of different kinds of femininity in a way." Gleason said. "I really like to comment on my feminine side and a lot of emotions that I feel. It doesn't have to be about being a woman, but sort of questioning the feelings that come with it. It's a very personal reflection, and some of the pieces are ways that I've dealt with feelings."
Gleason made her first foray into collage work during a figure drawing class.
"I was inspired by some scraps and magazines I've collected. I've always liked scrapbooking when I was younger and I sort of took advantage and just went with that." Gleason said. "I ended up kinda going in a different direction, I really wanted to express emotion using paper, which I've never really done before, and kind of being able to address feelings and emotions."
Gleason also spoke on what inspires her.
"A lot of my inspiration comes from trying to identify myself as a woman, what kind of a woman I am and not feeling like I fit into this stereotype as a woman and it's really hard for me feeling like I need to be this kind of feminine and a lot of the pieces question femininity as a whole and not feeling like I fit into that idea and wanting to really embrace sides of me that feel more masculine."
One of the common themes in her work is destruction.
"What I really like about doing collage work is that I get to destroy something… It's more about the destruction of something to create something new, and it's completely different from what it was." Gleason said.
Michael Bosch, a second-year art student, is another student that had their work displayed at the gallery.
"The work I currently have in the show is really content driven. Very conceptual in it's foundation." Bosch said. "I'm not trying to do hyper-realistic. If it got too hyper-realistic I think I'd have people trying to pay more attention to the reflections on my windows and the grain and the texture, when I just want them to go straight to content.
Bosch has various works in the exhibit, including three paintings entitled "Frat House".
"Just hearing about the amount of sexual assault and rape that goes on in there and I felt I needed to do something. I feel often the presence of alcohol gets blamed and I don't think it's to blame, I think it's a while male thing, and as a white male I have the authority to step up and say something. I thought that there was an injustice going and I had a responsibility to insert myself into it." Bosch said.
"When something wrong happens it's wrong no matter how many people are participating."
Bosch also did a political artwork. A group of basketball jerseys with the names of political parties written on them.
"The goal of those are to emphasize the hierarchy in our political structure" Bosch said "just how people can be really tribal and act like fans when it comes to politics rather than it being issue driven."
Magratten is proud of the exhibitors for presenting their work. "I am so incredibly proud of the work that they made because I think all of them took big creative risks and it takes a lot to lay yourself out on the line like that as an artist and a creator. All of them did a wonderful job. It's one of those moments where I'm just like 'Wow this makes my job easy because people are willing to really put that effort into their art practice.'" she said.

Great Barrier Reef recovering from coral bleaching
Canberra, Sep 12 (IANS) Australia's Great Barrier Reef has almost fully recovered from the worst coral bleaching ever known in recent history, authorities said on Monday.
A three-minute video clip recorded on September 2 by Quicksilver Group, a private tour operator specialising in Great Barrier Reef tours in Queensland showed several international and local tourists attesting to that fact, Xinhua news agency reported.
Quicksilver Group's environment and compliance manager and marine biologist Doug Baird said coral on Agincourt Reef number three off Port Douglas at the Great Barrier Reef was "well in the process recovery" from a bleaching event six months ago.
"It was a very robust reef going into the bleaching event. It was healthy, the water quality was good out here," Baird said.
"In fact, it was the best-managed reef system anywhere on the planet."
"This builds up the resilience of the reef which gives it that opportunity under these natural events to actually cope and recover," he said.
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority tourism and stewardship director Roger Beeden said he was aware of reports Agincourt Reef coral was recovering.
He said in-water surveys to be conducted in October would enable scientists to closely monitor the recovery and survival rates across the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
"The extent of recovery for heat-affected corals will vary across the marine park, and will largely depend on how stressed the corals were locally," Beeden said.
"On the most resilient reefs and in ideal circumstances, bleached corals can regain their colour within a period of weeks to months once water temperatures return to normal."
"However, corals experiencing chronic poor water quality or other stressors are unlikely to recover within these short time frames and recovery will be impeded," he added.

Reflexions and interviews on Dance to the people's first open class series at bax
An elementary school student might think her teacher lives under her desk to awaken only to teach and to retreat under after the school day terminates. Adults know that teachers lead lives outside of the classroom, though not necessarily separate from teaching. My definition of a teacher is one who began to study because of a strong pull or desire to master a certain area. A teacher knows more than a book or paper can explain and has experienced the lessons she passes on to the students. A teacher has the aptitude to convey knowledge and simultaneously gain knowledge. He is an improviser, a leader, a sage, and a life changer. I am interested in how teachers become a master of their subject and what knowledge they have learned from other teachers, from life experiences, and from mistakes. I interviewed two teachers, Angel Kaba and Melissa Lohman, who both taught for Dance to the People's (DTTP) Open Class series at Brooklyn Art's Exchange (BAX) this past fall (another series will start in the Spring). Here's what they had to say about teaching.
"I must have been 9 years old and My body was changing and I remember feeling stiff and awkward. My teacher simply stated out loud that I was struggling, without making me feel bad or good about it. Acknowledging that I was going through a change, but that the disaster was not the end-all, was a crucial lesson for me that I still grapple with today. "
Do you have a story of a dance class that you can share or a dance class experience that you remember and think of often?
Angel: One day I was packing my bag in the dance studio and a 5 year old girl came with her mother to ask me to teach her dance classes. I had never worked with someone so young, so I said no. Persistently, the mother asked me to put on music and watch her daughter dance. Her name is Elya and as of today it's been 11 years that I have taught her. She is one of the best dancers in my company.
Melissa: I must have been 9 years old and for some reason my jazz class choreography became a challenge for me. My body was changing and I remember feeling stiff and awkward. My teacher simply stated out loud that I was struggling, without making me feel bad or good about it. Acknowledging that I was going through a change, but that the disaster was not the end-all, was a crucial lesson for me that I still grapple with today.
What inspires you to teach?
Angel: Life and People.
Melissa: I learn things that I want to share with others and I believe that part of the learning process is sharing.
How do you think that non-dancers view your profession?
Angel: Some people will say that dance is not a real job, just a passion, but I think it's funny when they say that.
Melissa: I think in general non-dancers are in awe of the dance world. It is a kind of mysterious profession that entails a lot of training and dedication in order to make beautiful things with the human body. A general stigma attached to dance and art at large is that it is not a necessity for society and so, the hesitation to view dance as a profession and to be paid fairly for one's work remains a problem.
If there was one lesson you could teach, one idea you would want to convey, one aspect of people's life you would like to augment through teaching, what would it be?
Angel: Love, especially how to love oneself.
Melissa: I don't think I am wise enough to answer. For now, I would like to convey the importance of truly allowing yourself time. When you take class everything else remains outside the door. When you are working on something, enter into your own space and allow yourself to stay there for the amount of time you need to fully immerse in your process, without distraction.
What is one word or phrase you think about for your classes?
Angel: Keeping it real.
Melissa: Openness.
Where else do you teach?
Angel: Chelsea Piers and Steps on Broadway
Melissa: In Rome, Italy. I mostly work with actors and non-dancers.
Angel's class was Hip Hop and Ka'frican (a mixture of the new generation of African influences and American street dance) and Melissa's class was The Conductive Body (Japanese Butoh and Noguchi gymnastics). I taught the Contact Improvisation Fundamentals class with a mini jam during the series. After interviewing both Angel and Melissa I explored my personal teacher inspiration. I began moving young and began a somatic exploration of the body before I knew what that meant. Years of empirical research and years of practical body training combined with a desire to encourage equality and peaceful communication strategies lead me to teaching contact improvisation. Like Melissa and Angel, I'm drawn to teach to share life with people. One word for my class would be inclusiveness.
Maira Duarte, Director of DTTP, reflects that teaching is not easy. She remembers a colleague who once compared teaching to leading a group of people in the dark with one lamp. The people, reliant on you, can be at ease and even party a bit because you take the responsibility. Teachers depend on other colleagues and support systems when the time comes to guide the way, so DTTP decided to connect teachers from the New York area by partnering with BAX on the Open Class series. Thanks to the Creating Space Program at BAX, funded in large part by the Lambent Foundation, the classes were donation based. Teachers were able to explore new territory without the pressure of having to deliver a polished class. DTTP was able to let teachers discover and question with others as they held the lamp.
The teachers of the DTTP Open Class series
The eight teachers chosen this round to lead a class came from all over the world, the metroplex, and the dance spectrum. As part of the application process, the teacher had to share what she/he personally proposed to explore. Here is a condensed version of each:
Donna Costello: How to transfer the abilities of teaching improvisational-based techniques and creative movement for children into teaching adult ballroom dance? How to be inclusive of
different levels of experience, but rigorous to the dance form?
Charlotte Colmant: Do the images I use to create movement work for other people?
Can I transfer what is prompting movement in my body to other people?
Angel Kaba: How do we help students find themselves as individual performers in the material given by the teacher?
Kate Digby: How do I stay present in my interoceptive process, while leading and modeling? How do I create a safe space to make the private public?
Billy Schultz: How to find a balance between structure and play? How to give a structure where
there's exploration without expectation?
Melissa Lohman: How to balance the "technical/training" part with the physical experimentation?
What is the bridge for someone who doesn't do Butoh?
Clarisse Roud: Is the technique an enjoyable part of class, or only what we call dancing
(sequencing, variation)? How to dissolve that barrier?
Joanna Stone: How to teach without being didactic? How to allow students to find their own self within the partner improvisation?
After each class the participants and the teacher shared discoveries and feedback. Some cool discoveries were:
Maira adds: "Teaching is, for performing artists, one of our main forms of communicating our art form,
maybe simply because, unlike performing, we're most conscious of our audience, for we face and talk directly to it (and then our audience repeats in movement what we just taught). That's why Dance to the People, being about making dance happen, can't ignore our need to develop our
teaching, the need to learn from other's processes, to connect and understand a wider world
beyond our own experience. I am always amazed of how the dance world is so wide that it
allows each of us to find ourselves within it, but we can't continue doing it while ignoring others.
We're striving to make experiences like these a mutual exchange of precious knowledge,
to expand our horizons and defeat the idea that only through competition we can excel.
Maybe we can do it by taking each other's class."

Samsung teasing 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab for CTIA?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Rumors
Samsung may announce an 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab tablet at the CTIA Wireless trade show on March 22, according to a press conference invitation sent out by Samsung this morning.
The invite asks "What's your Tab life?" with the numbers "78910." The Android-powered Galaxy Tab already exists in 7-inch and 10.1-inch sizes. Last month, rumors said Samsung was prepping an 8.9-inch version, which would fit the "89" between the 7 and 10 on the invitation.
"Curious about the secret behind 78910? Come discover what the buzz is all about and join us on our journey as we experience a world of endless technological possibility. We'll unveil our latest mobile products and innovations and explore the exciting new consumer lifestyles they make possible," the invite reads.
Samsung's 7-inch Galaxy Tab is currently the top-selling tablet behind Apple's iPad, leading Apple CEO Steve Jobs to take potshots at the product during his iPad 2 presentation earlier this week. Jobs repeated a notorious misquote where a Samsung executive supposedly said sales were "small" when the executive actually said "smooth." Samung says it has shipped more than 2 million Galaxy Tabs since it first went on sale in November 2010.
Yesterday, Rob Mesirow, vice president of the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), said a
We'll be at CTIA from March 22-24 providing full coverage.

You wouldn't buy the first and only house a real estate agent shows you, so why are policymakers so quick to jump on policy that is today's solution, but tomorrow's problem?
Crafting public policies that will meet the needs of current and future populations is by no means an easy feat. More often than not there is no 'right' policy; societies' needs shift with time, so striving to find it can feel like being lost in the Labyrinth. Yet, people desire the 'right' policy and berate policymakers when it isn't delivered, so what we get often get instead is the right policy, for right now – something to quell the fires of public opinion and poor media coverage.
This approach doesn't really serve anyone well. Yes, we get a 'solution' today, but quite often today's solutions are the cause of tomorrow's problems. Perhaps there are lessons that we all, the general public and policymakers alike, could learn from buying a house.
If you want to buy a house, you don't buy the first one you see because the agent tells you this is the best and only option. You don't pick a suburb because your mother likes it or a style of property because it's currently in vogue. Rather, you think about why you're buying a house, how long you might want to live there or own it for, who or what might live there with you, if you want a garden or a garage, if it's a safe neighbourhood, if your quality of life will be improved by the purchase.
You look into your finances, see how much you have saved, what kind of loan you can get with your income, and make an educated guess as to whether you're likely to be able to rely on that income into the future. Then you consider your options, inspect a few properties, and when you've found something that meets most of these requirements, you put in an offer.
It takes time to do all this thinking, identifying, and comparing of options. So why do it? Most people would prefer not to spend their evenings scanning Internet sites, Saturday mornings going from inspection to inspection, or for that matter having to deal with estate agents. And the worst that can happen? The worst case scenario? Is that if you make a poor choice, if you hate it, you just move again.
But you do invest a considerable amount of time in developing an informed opinion. You don't just buy the first house you see. And you do this because there are considerable economic, emotional, and social costs associated with buying and moving house. While you could just move again, it is not a costless exercise. So, it seems prudent to invest some time in considering your current needs and reasonably anticipating your future ones. After all, if options exist to address both now, why wouldn't you preference these?
Making uninformed policy decisions is like buying the first house you see. Policy decisions can be remade, but doing so will be costly, stressful, and ultimately unnecessary had the initial thinking been turned to both the current and future needs of society. Wouldn't you rather policymakers considered all the available options before choosing the house, or policy, society has to live with?
When policymakers apply Ecologically Sustainable Development principles during the policy development process it helps them to make sure that they do this. The problem is that, despite this approach being accepted and internationally agreed to by many countries, these principles are not being applied.
Current public policy development approaches tend to focus on diving into solutions to address short term symptoms, rather than assessing the evidence to understand the issue holistically and basing choices on balanced consideration of the broader ranging consequences and longer term needs of all. In effect, public policy development has become a series of, sometimes very costly, poorly monitored, social experiments with no ethics approval. As a result, society reaps poorer outcomes. We, through the governments we elect and institutional approaches we accept, are collectively buying the first house we see without consideration of its suitability now and into the future.
Why do we accept this incomplete approach to determining the rules and structure of our society when we don't have to? How can we better use the available knowledge to inform our decisions and achieve more balanced outcomes? It is questions such as these which must be answered, to ensure that when those acting on our behalf decide which metaphorical houses we all have to live in, they do so in a more considered way. If they did that, perhaps society would finally find its 'forever home'.

Tony Blair flies out to Kuwait today as part of a six-day tour
that will see him become the first Western leader to visit post-war
Iraq. George Bush is also expected to make a triumphal visit to
"liberated" Iraq in the next two or three days. In Kuwait
today, Mr Blair will meet British troops and congratulate them
on their success.
But both leaders would do well to keep the rhetoric to the minimum.
I know, of course, how the official briefings will go. Fallujah
was a Saddam stronghold where the Americans could expect "remnants"
of the old regime to fight on - "remnants", like the
"remnants" of the Taliban and al-Qa'ida who are flooding
back into Afghanistan and who appear to be arriving in battalion
strength. More troops are on the way, Messrs Blair and Bush will
be told. Order is being restored.
Most people in Baghdad get only two hours of electricity a day.
The petrol queues - in a country whose oilfields have already
been corralled by the US military, with the lucrative clean-up
contracts given to American companies - stretch for up to two
Driving down some streets necessitates a journey over solid garbage,
muck crunching between the tyres. In some parts of Baghdad, the
stench of open sewers is overpowering.
Children are being withdrawn from newly opened schools after
reports of child kidnapping and rape. The police stations, now
guarded by US troops, look like the RUC's old blockhouses in Andersonstown
and Derry: surrounded by armour and guards with heavy machine-guns
and netting.
Yes, there are free newspapers in the streets. Yes, electricity
workers are now being paid. Yes, there's a little economic miracle
in internet cafés. Yes, political parties are issuing tracts
and claims and threats. Yes, you can even buy booze in the streets
although Shia clerics are promising to burn down every shop that
sells it. Prostitution - the most obvious free-market symbol in
town - is back (the Saddam Fedayeen had a propensity for chopping
off prostitutes' heads). And you can say what you like about anyone.
Isn't that freedom?
But three days ago, near the site of one of Saddam's mass graves,
I asked directions from a group of men in a car. Only when I leant
through the window did I see that two of them nursed Kalashnikov
rifles on their knees. Why the guns, I asked innocently? "Because
we're not going to let thieves steal our car," one of them
replied. Was this the only reason? They were sitting in their
vehicle alongside the American army's main supply route to Baghdad.
A week ago, two American soldiers were shot dead in Baghdad.
It was reported in the United States as if they were victims of
some natural disaster, such as an earthquake or a minor traffic
There is a willing suspension of disbelief in which all here
have to live. Caged inside the marble halls of Saddam's finest
palace, thousands of American officers and civil servants - utterly
cut off from the five million Iraqis around them - battle over
their laptops to create the neo-conservative "democracy"
dreamed up by Messrs Rumsfeld, Perle and the rest. When they venture
outside, they do so in flak jackets, perched inside armoured vehicles
with heavily armed troops as escorts.
In Iraq, the anti-American attacks have begun within a month
of the arrival of US forces who are now being assaulted almost
daily. It was like this back in Beirut in 1982. First came the
US Marines and the French and Italians to protect the Palestinians
and support the new right wing Lebanese government. The first
little hint of trouble came about six months later when Shia Muslim
school children began throwing stones at American troops along
a disused railway line. Then "Death to America" was
painted on the walls. It was almost a year before the first Americans
were shot at, the first grenades thrown. It was more than a year
before the US Marine base was blown up by a suicide bomber with
the loss of 241 Americans.
What, does that tell us? "Death to America" can already
be seen on walls of Baghdad.
The Fallujah shooting yesterday was about the most serious to
date. The Americans said they came under fire from many directions,
including a mosque, although witnesses spoke of two men climbing
from a pick-up truck and opening fire on the troops, all from
the US Third Armoured Cavalry Regiment. The soldiers returned
fire with machine-guns mounted on Bradley Fighting Vehicles, one
of which - in the chaos of the battle - smashed into a helicopter
that had arrived to evacuate the wounded. Fallujah has been the
most dangerous town in Iraq ever since soldiers fired on a crowd
of protesters last month, killing 18 Iraqis and wounding 78. On
that occasion, the Americans claimed they were shot at from the
crowd, though not a single bullet appeared to hit the US position.
American forces now drive through Baghdad ordering motorists
to stay away from the military vehicles and make no attempt to
overtake them into the same lane. But it's other features of their
behaviour Iraqis don't like. Yesterday, for example, I found a
Bradley Fighting Vehicle parked on Yasser Arafat Street with a
crowd of children in front. On top stood an American soldier in
shades, staring over their heads, hands on hips and puffing on
a huge cigar while his colleagues pointed their guns at passing
cars. What was the message here supposed to be? I know how it
can be made to look different.
There's even a story that the new US ambassador to Iraq took
a helicopter flight to the south of the country last week and
asked to view the archeological sites of Mesopotamia from the
air. When they saw an army of looters at one of the locations,
the ambassador's guards allegedly fired warning shots. And what
did the looters do? They fired back.

The labor organization accuses the carrier of dismissing pilots due to absences and sick slips. This has created a climate of distrust, intimidating the cockpit personnel, the LCGB
claimed at a press conference held today (17 June) in Luxembourg. With reference to ongoing proceedings the Cargolux management declined any comment asked by CargoForwarder
It's tough stuff tabled by the LCGB: "The dismissal of four Cargolux pilots based on the number of sick days, in combination with the almost consistent monitoring of pilots on sick leave by the
Cargolux directorate, have led to considerable uncertainty among the pilots of the freight carrier based in Luxembourg," the union claims. The LCGB goes on to say: "This has created a climate of
mistrust between staff and management and no-one, neither ground staff nor pilots, can be sure that they will not become a victim of such methodology as well."
Bitter reproaches
Monitoring, intimidating, spying! LCGB boss Patrick Dury even compared the practices of the CV management with the methods used by the Stasi, the former East German secret police: "These methods are considered by Cargolux employees to be intimidating and have even been referred to as "Stasi" methods," his organization's press release reads.
Rather strong stuff!
What are these allegations based on?
All that is known right now is that Cargolux has fired four of its pilots, no less no more. Details have not been revealed but what could be heard behind the scenes is that these people have continuously reported sick. Regarding how their absence has been monitored by a company instructed by Cargolux, as alleged by the LCGB is an open issue and cannot be answered at this time due to a lack of information. This might be important to judges, should the pilots oppose their dismissal and appeal to a court of law.
Is CV's safety culture put in jeopardy by the management?
As a consequence of this labor dispute the LCGB warns about the negative consequences this has on the safety culture inside Cargolux. The organization claims that this has been considerably damaging and it remains to be seen how long the carrier's pilots are able to maintain flight operations under conditions such as this.
The LCGB points out that in accordance with the EU directive 965/2012, every pilot is obliged to stay on the ground in case of illness. This regulation also applies in Luxembourg and is designed to ensure that flights are carried out safely, since illness may considerably influence the performance capabilities of flight staff.
The press release goes further:
"In the past, Cargolux has complained that the number of pilot sick days has been too high and has demanded reduction. According to statements from the general director and the president of the supervisory board, the number of sick days reported reduced immediately after the dismissals mentioned above."
An alarming signal, says the LCGB.
The OGBL remains silent
The labor organization appealed to the State of Luxembourg, which controls 65% of Cargolux shares, to take measures to restore the safety culture of Cargolux. Simultaneously it offers the carrier to enter into dialogue to hopefully get the resolve the conflict.
Luxembourg's leading union OGBL has remained guarded so far in this controversy.

Max Gain: 13 dBi(5GHz)
The HELI-12 forms part of a series of Mini-HELI antennas. These antennas are only mini in size relative to their bigger brothers, the HELI-5 & HELI-6, but offer medium to high gain, which makes these antennas ideal for mining tunnels where IoT/M2M connectivity is deployed and can also be used for coverage into the stopes. The HELI-12 is a 5GHz antenna, radiating in one direction (i.e. Uni-directional), which make it ideal for the coverage of the 5GHz in mining and other type of tunnels. These antennas are typically used for the deployment of IoT within the tunnel to provide telemetry and mine automation. These antennas are available in both Left Hand Circular (LHC) & Right Hand Circular (RHC) polarised antenna elements to provide optimal decorrelation within a MIMO deployment, resulting in the best of the two worlds; decorrelation due to the polarisation differences and also spatial diversity to enhance MIMO performance and RF reliability to service the most severe connectivity within a demanding mining tunnel. The WiFi connection propagates around tunnel bends in a non-Line of Sight scenario and provides immunity to many of the WiFi signal disrupting objects such as trains and drilling machinery which appear to obscure the tunnel
- Circular Polarised HELI antenna provides enhanced signal propagation and connection stability within a tunnel
- Left Hand Circular (LHC) & Right Hand Circular (RHC) Polarised options available
- Uni-directional – radiates in one direction in a tunnel
- Ruggedized & water ingress protected
- Ideal for Mining & Tunnel M2M and IoT deployments

There is an increasing need for healthcare practitioners to collaborate with each other to ensure that patients are receiving the correct ongoing care.
Paragraph two of the GMC's new confidentiality guidance states that 'appropriate information-sharing is an essential part of the provision of safe and effective care. Patients may be put at risk if those who are providing their care do not have access to relevant, accurate and up-to-date information about them'.
The GMC differentiates between sharing information for a direct care and disclosures which are for secondary purposes such as clinical audit, service planning and medical research, or which are not connected to the delivery of health or social care.
Implicit and explicit consent
The GMC says you can rely on the patient's 'implied consent' to share information with those 'who provide (or support the provision of) direct care' (paragraph 28) providing certain conditions are met.
In this instance implied consent means 'it would be reasonable to infer that the patient agrees to the use of the information, even though this has not been directly expressed' (paragraph 13b).
You need to make sure that:
- You are satisfied the person with whom you are sharing the information is using it to provide or support the patient's direct care
- Information is readily available to patients (for example by way of posters, leaflets or practice websites, as well as face to face) explaining how their details will be used and their right to object
- You have no reason to believe the patient has objected
- You are satisfied the person to whom you disclose the information understands they must respect the patient's confidentiality
However, if you 'suspect a patient would be surprised to learn about how you are accessing or disclosing their personal information, you should ask for explicit consent' unless this is not practicable (paragraph 29). The GMC defines explicit consent as 'when a patient actively agrees, either orally or in writing, to the use or disclosure of information' (paragraph 13a).
You should ensure that the information which you intend to share is relevant for the purpose (paragraph 27).
Patient objections
Sometimes, a patient may object to information being shared for their direct care. In these cases, the GMC states that in these circumstances you should not disclose information, unless this would be justified in the public interest or the patient lacks capacity and you believe disclosure is of overall benefit to them (paragraph 30).
Sometimes, independent practitioners contact the MDU because a patient doesn't want them to write to their GP, usually because they don't want a particular diagnosis or treatment to be documented in their NHS medical record. In this circumstance, you can explain why you feel it is necessary to share the information and the possible consequences for their future care if their GP is unaware of their full medical history. The GMC also states that 'you should also consider with the patient whether any compromise can be reached' (paragraph 31).
However, if you cannot persuade the patient, it would be difficult to justify sharing the information and you may be unable to share responsibility for their ongoing care with their GP. The MDU advises doctors to record this discussion in their notes and provide the patient with written information in case they change their mind.
On the other hand, if a patient objects to you sharing information which you believe is essential to provide safe care, the GMC says 'you should explain that you cannot refer [the patient] or otherwise arrange for their treatment without also disclosing that information' (paragraph 31).
Patients without capacity
If a patient lacks the capacity to consent to a particular disclosure then you can usually share relevant information with others providing their care, as long as it is of overall benefit to the patient.
The GMC says that when deciding whether to disclose personal information, you must make the patient's care your first concern, respect their dignity and privacy, and support their involvement in decision-making as far as possible. You must also consider:
- Whether the decision could reasonably wait (if their loss of capacity is temporary)
- Evidence of the patient's previously expressed wishes
- The views of anyone the patient has asked you to consult or who has legal authority
- The views of anyone close to the patient
- What you know of the patient's wishes, feelings, beliefs and values (paragraphs 44-45)
In a medical emergency, you can pass on relevant information to those who are treating the patient but if the patient regains the capacity to understand, 'you should inform them how their personal information was disclosed if it was in a way they would not reasonably expect' (paragraphs 32-33).

By Maria Sampalis, OD
Nov. 23, 2016
My practice, an independently owned office located inside a Sears in Warwick, R.I., doesn't have an optical. Accordingly, I knew from the start that I would need good relationships with other eyecare practitioners nearby where I could send patients to get their eyewear. More than the need for the provider of an optical, though, building reciprocal relationships with other optometrists and MDs in my community has enabled me to grow my patient base and provide the best care for my patients.
Watch Dr. Sampalis discuss how she reaches out to other doctors to serve patients best and build her practice.
Build Reciprocal Relationships
I have three local eyecare providers where I regularly send patients. The first is an optician's office that doesn't have an OD or ophthalmologist on staff, so I send patients there to get glasses, and they regularly send patients to me in need of an eyewear prescription, or eye health-related care.
The second office to which I send patients is a LensCrafters that has instrumentation, such as an OCT, that my practice lacks. When I believe a patient should be screened with an OCT, I send them there. LensCrafters bills the patient's insurance $10-$15 for the technical component of the patient's care–strictly the use of the instrument–and we bill about $30 for the evaluation component.
This relationships serves both this LensCrafters and my practice well. I have an easily accessible ECP in the community to send patients to for high-level imaging, and the optician at LensCrafters has a nearby OD to send me patients to when their office is booked and a patient needs an exam or medical eyecare evaluation right away.
The third ECP we have a relationship with is a local ophthalmologist to whom we send patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy, or other conditions beyond my scope of care.
Find ECPs to Work With
It isn't hard to find other ECPs, whether ODs or MDs, to send and receive patients from.
The first step to take is going to your local American Optometric Association meetings. You also should attend contact lens manufacturer-sponsored dinners, and dinners sponsored by eyecare drug companies.
I have found these event good place to meet doctors that I can send patients to for consults. Also, I often meet older doctors nearing retirement. Those doctors frequently can offer a wealth of knowledge about how to build an eyecare practice in your community. For example, they can tell you about products or services they tried offering that didn't work, or experiments they tried with hours and days open, and what seemed to work best with the community's demographics.
You don't have to spend a lot of time at events like vendor-sponsored dinners to make connections. As the mother of two young children, my free time is limited, so I usually tell the sponsor of the dinner at the beginning that I won't be able to stay too long, but that it was important for me to attend. I usually leave shortly after dinner and the vendor's presentation. I'm careful to speak with both the other doctors attending, as well as the dinner's sponsors.
Don't Be Afraid to Introduce Yourself & Ask for Advice
Whether you are a current practice owner, or a new graduate thinking of opening a practice, it isn't hard to connect to a more experienced optometrist. When I'm at a professional meeting or vendor-sponsored dinner, I go up to them and introduce myself, telling them my practice situation and my background. Importantly, I inquire about their practice. Often, more experienced practice owners have tips to offer, and have no worry about me competing with them because they are close to retirement, and many don't practice the same level of medical eyecare that ODs who graduated more recently from optometry school practice.
In addition to gaining the expertise of more experienced ODs, reaching out to these doctors provides yet another opportunity to build your patient base. Since many of these optometrists, who may be in their sixties, seventies, or even eighties, graduated from optometry school when the optometric scope of care was much narrower, they often need more medically oriented ODs to send patients to for care.
Make Time to Network & Connect Via Social Media
I try to set a broad agenda when I attend an optometric conference like Vision Expo East or West or the AOA's Optometry's Meeting. I feel it is important to set aside time for networking, in addition to attending CE purses. These encounters can be as simple as meeting a doctor as you roam the convention hall, or in a CE class, and then suggesting an impromptu coffee or lunch while at the conference.
Be sure to follow-up these off-line meetings online or on the phone, and with connections on Facebook and LinkedIn made. You can find groups of ODs in a similar situation to your own to connect with, such as a group I started myself this year for ODs practicing in corporate retail locations, Corporate Optometry on Facebook.
Maria Sampalis OD, practices at Sampalis Eye Care in Warwick RI. She is also the founder of Corporate Optometry on Facebook. Dr. Sampalis is also founder of the new job site corporateoptometrycareers.com, and is available for practice management consulting. To contact: firstname.lastname@example.com

Starting point of any product that is created with new objectives or that solves a problem springs from concept that engineers have in their mind. A detailed exploration of the idea is vital to take it from the intangible to the tangible, along with the ability to iterate the new model with viability requirements. Once an idea gains traction it's time to develop it into a featured model. Designers use conceptual modelling during early stages of the product development to assist in optimizing their idea for production. With simulation support they can experiment, test and realize the advantages of any conceptual models. Simulation helps designers consider systems, services and products in relation to what they should do, how they should behave, what they look like and whether they will be understood by the users in the manner intended. Conceptual modeling provides designers the possibility of automatically checking the project for errors at the design level.
With MeshWorks we can design anything quickly, with built-in precision and at reduced cost and time. MeshWorks has advanced cutting, blending & stitching functions to create early stage concept FE & CFD models very rapidly. Local regions from the donor FE or CFD model can be cut, morphed and stitched to the target FE/CFD model resulting in a new concept quickly. Concept FE components can be created using sections and director lines. Concept FE features such as ribs, gussets, holes etc. can be created rapidly on existing models.
Functions and Applications:
Cut Stitch Morphing Feature: Early Concept designs can be created in the FE level there by eliminating CAD in the loop. The same shape change could be replicated on the same Model of Different Domain.
Underbody Upper Body Merging Feature: Under Body Platform of one Model and the Upper Body of another model can be merged resulting in a new concept design quickly.
Early Concept designs can be created in the FE level by merging the Underbody of the Model that is performing well in Crash with Upper body of another Model that is performing well in NVH. This could be replicated on the same Model of Different Domain.
- Concept FE Model can be created in one week whereas the conventional method would take around 12weeks
- Makes the model more optimized and more detailed from model aspects
- Powerful in-built concept features save enormous time during simulation
- Visualizing the structural change and analysis on feasibility made possible

AKA Anthony Visconti
Born: 24-Apr-1944Birthplace: Brooklyn, NY
Gender: MaleRace or Ethnicity: WhiteSexual orientation: StraightOccupation: Music Producer
Nationality: United StatesExecutive summary: Influential rock producer and musician
One of the more influential and versatile producers working in the industry over the past four decades, Brooklyn expatriate Tony Visconti began his exploration of musical forms (as is the case with any musician worth his salt) on the ukelele. The instrument was taught to him by his father when the younger Visconti was only five, and was eventually supplemented in his later childhood by lessons in music theory and guitar from instructor/author Leon Block. Throughout his teens he immersed himself in diverse styles -- playing guitar in rock and roll bands, double bass in his school orchestra, and tuba in a brass band. At the age of 15, Visconti abandoned the classically-oriented direction of his training, left high school and launched his career as a professional musician in the faux-Latin outfit Ricardo and The Latineers. The next several years saw him alternating between bass and guitar in club, cabaret and lounge bands, before making a short-lived attempt as a pop recording artist in a duo with his then-wife Siegrid; Tony and Siegrid managed a regional hit with their first single Long Hair (1967), but when the next release went nowhere the pair's recording future was brought to an end. It was at this point that Visconti (somewhat involuntarily) took the job of house producer for his publisher the Richmond Organization.
After a chance meeting by a water cooler in a publishing house with British producer Denny Cordell in 1968, Visconti found himself abruptly pulled into the big leagues when Cordell brought him to along assist in a session for jazz vocalist Georgie Fame. Within weeks of the session, Visconti had relocated to London (a move that would turn out to be permanent) and began contributing to the output of many of the most popular British musicians of the time. It was his production work for the T-Rex album Prophets, Seers And Sages The Angels Of The Ages (1968) that really set things in motion for the young producer, not only resulting in his involvement with the band's next seven offerings (including the seminal Electric Warrior, 1971), but also instigating his association with singer David Bowie -- an association for which he continues to be best known. Joined by guitarist Mick Ronson and drummer John Cambridge, Bowie and Visconti formed the short-lived outfit Hype and toured about the UK; Cambridge was later replaced with "Woody" Woodmansey, and it was this line-up -- with Visconti also handling production duties -- that recorded Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World in 1970. Visconti continued to act as Bowie's producer for much of the singer's output during the 1970s, adding his skills to the albums Diamond Dogs (1974), Young Americans (1975), Heroes (1977), Low (1977), Lodger (1979) and Scary Monsters (1980). His work for Bowie and T. Rex was far from the sum of his activities during the decade, and contributions to albums by Mary Hopkin (to whom he was married for 10 years), Gentle Giant, The Strawbs, Badfinger. Osibisa, Sparks and Thin Lizzy (amongst several others) kept him more than occupied.
Tony Visconti maintained his diverse workload throughout the 80s and 90s, dividing his time between new artists like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Adam and the Ants, The Alarm and Les Rita Mitsouko, and revitalizing the careers of old work-horses such as The Moody Blues, Jon Anderson and Paul McCartney. His "big league" profile may have declined somewhat towards the late 90s, but he continued to involve himself in a wide variety of musical styles, producing Electric Honey for Luscious Jackson, Leisure Noise by Gay Dad, Soul Candy for Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Dawn of Ananda for Annie Haslam and Moonchild for Debbie Gibson -- all between the years 1999 and 2000. In 2002 he renewed his association with Bowie, taking the helm for both that year's Heathen and the following year's Reality; in the early years of the 00s, he also began several new associations with young artists, the band Placebo and the fiery singer/songwriter Kristeen Young foremost amongst them.

I am still testing the water , as I am much happier in monochrome pieces, soft colours and browns..so hold onto your hats!
So here is the canvas I made for Michelle:
well you know me and my love of hearts and wings, I love blue and would have stuck to that, but Michelle has this whole love of colour thing going on and I embraced it! Had lots of fun and well that's it really..had a go.
I added layers of paintyness, then added some texture paste coloured with paint, through a stencil and left to dry.
When dry I added lots of painty layers through different stencils and some sequin waste ( thanks Mum!).
Then I stamped with PAINT!! I know how mad, but managed to stamp and get stamp clean again..
Finally I added circles using a pot lid dipped in paint and some lines using a thick piece of card and edged with some paint.
The decoration, a heart, ( wound with wire..love wire!),
some textured pasted wings, covered in treasure gold..(silver) and dream big cut from my word play die..
I think sometimes it is good to challenge our creative boundaries and have a go at something new..I will never leave my love of distress and all things vintage behind..and a dash of steampunk thrown in..but may embrace this whole painty thing and colour a bit more!

Brandon Ingram, 17, was arrested at 2:00 a.m. Monday at his home in Apex.
Michael Jordan, 19, and Stephen Forbes, 16, were arrested Sunday. Also in custody is an unidentified 15-year-old.
Ingram, Jordan, Forbes, and the 15-year-old are charged with attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
Ingram is also charged with one count of common law robbery. Forbes and the 15-year-old are also charged with carjacking. Jordan is not, since it was his car they allegedly took.
A series of events was set in motion about 4:30 Saturday afternoon with a shooting in Raleigh. According to police, the victim, Huey Holden of 8317 Rhodes Road in Apex, was walking on Eisenhower Avenue when a car rolled up beside him, turned and came back beside him again. He began to run and was struck in the back by a bullet.
Police say the suspects left the scene, and were eventually stopped by an Apex officer. At that point, the driver stepped out of the car. The others managed to take off and leave him.
Reports say two of the three suspects then were involved in a car accident at the intersection of Highway 54 and Interstate 40. Police say the suspects then fled on foot, and that is when officers began a search. A chase, they said, was not involved.
As teams of officers and police dogs scoured the neighborhoods along Highway 54 near the Durham-Orange County line, surprised residents were ordered inside their homes.
Shortly thereafter, police caught the juvenile suspect.
"We were watching through the windows, and we had no idea that he would be found under our house," says Durham resident John Cohn.
Cohn and his family were shocked when they found out the suspect was hiding in their crawl space.
"The irony is that we were just inside explaining to our 5-year-old that if someone is being sought by the police, then we don't want to be the ones to find him," Cohn said.
Late Sunday afternoon, Holden was reported in stable condition at WakeMed.
