And with practice efficiency comes improved patient satisfaction. I had the opportunity to hear a healthcare consultant speak recently and she was discussing IT and patient portals. Staff is spending a lot of time on tasks that could be eliminated and allowing their time to be better served in other capacities.
Of all the calls the practices receive, 25% of them are repeat calls. Patients calling to followup on a call they already placed. In addition, staff have to reenter information that the patients fill out when checking in and registering as a new patient. Patient portals allow quick followup communication to take place with patients and reduce staff time. Also, if patients fill out their forms online themselves when registering then your staff doesn't have to waste time completing this task upon the patient's arrival.
So where is the best place to introduce the patient portal to the patient? Research has shown the exam room is when patients are most receptive to learning about the patient portal. The nurse is a good person to share the information and the doctor is even better. After all you want to do what the doctor tells you! Portals offer more convenience for patients and in this day in age, patients (aka consumers) are all about convenience. Think about it for your practice.Tags: Crown Tenant Advisors, dental real estate, Georgia Dental Real Estate, Georgia Healthcare Real Estate, Georgia veterinary real estate, healthcare real estate, Indiana dental real estate, Indiana healthcare real estate, Indiana veterinary real estate, patient portal, tenant representation, Tennessee dental real estate, Tennessee healthcare real estate, Tennessee veterinary real estate, veterinary real estate

Interesting interview with Timothy Snyder, a historian with some ideas about how to resist Trump. This part resonated with me, because I believe that as lawyers it falls to us to prevent the normalization of bigotry and totalitarianism:
This is not to say, by any means, that resistance by laypersons is any less valuable-- in most ways I think it is more important. I believe that our glamor profession has a specialized role, just as we do in society generally. The machinery of government is what we depend on, and work with daily, so it falls to us to recognize and repair any malfunctions.Also on the positive side so far are the lawyers. I don't mean all the lawyers. I don't mean Kellyanne Conway. I don't mean Jeff Sessions, both of whom seem to have violated professional ethics pretty drastically. I do mean the lawyers who had got out in front already in November, December, and started to think about what the necessary lawsuits might be and then were ready to file in January and February. The reason I think of the lawyers is that, like Germany in the '20s and '30s, we pride ourselves on being a rule-of-law state. You can't undo a rule-of-law state without lawyers. In the Nazi example, most of the lawyers switched over. In fact, a lot of the lawyers were right at the forefront of some of the most atrocious policies of that regime.

Painting Great War British Infantry - Part 2 (Shade Colouring)
I continued today with the shade colours. The way I work is to block in the shade first, basically covering just about all of the black undercoat save for the very deep shade in recesses such as elbow folds and under the tunic at the thighs.
This does lead to a very dull and dark looking model. Any satisfaction I get at this stage by seeing the models covered with paint tends to be diminished by the fact that the models at this stage look very flat and unexciting indeed!
For this reason, on some of the figures I do try and keep my interest going by painting a something a bit more interesting. So, you can see the flags of the signaller , the riding breeches of the Major and the gas masks of a couple of the figures having been worked on more, probably at a point when I found my interest flagging …
Generally though, it's a process of painting shade colour quickly, trying to be as neat as possible and trying to cover the figures in such a way that makes painting the mid colour and highlight colour as easy as possible.
Most the paints used in this part were Vallejo. So, for the uniform it was Brown Violet; for the helmets German Grey; the webbing and packs were painted Leather Brown; the boots in a mix of German Grey and Black; any helmet cloth covers were shaded with Burnt Umber; and the gas masks Green-Brown.
The only other paint used was Plaka Braun for the rifles, bayonet scabbards and shovel handles.
On a number of figures (but not yet all), I ran a very fine brush of Vallejo Black mixed with the shade colour to bring out more deep shade. You can see this best on the figures for the Company command stand.
I tend to use Windsor & Newton Artists Acrylic Flow Improver a fair amount just to keep the paint consistency smooth. The Vallejo paints work very well with this, although the Plaka hardly needs it.
About two or three hours to go for these chaps before they're finished. With luck, I'll be able to posted the finished results on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Until then…..

Very interesting to see your process, stage-by-stage. I always marvel at seeing both the similarities and differences in other's approach to painting. Great work!ReplyDelete
Great info! Stooopid question, but what exactly does the flow improver do and how do you use it??ReplyDelete
Very interesting and I really enjoy reading how others paint. The work looks really nice.ReplyDelete
I find myself painting in a variety of techniques and often not the same for each project. I like to change up the style from time to time. Do you do that as well?
Great info Sidney. Very interesting.ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone.ReplyDelete
@Curt - variety….it's the spice of life. Very glad you're enjoying, Curt.
@Ray - according to the Windsor & Newton website, Acrylic Flow Improver "increases the flow of acrylic colours, allowing the application of areas of flat, even colour without changing colour strength. It maintains the stability of the colour and slightly slows drying. This medium maintains no colour shift from wet to dry when used with Winsor & Newton Artists' Acrylic." For me, it's a very good way of improving the flow of the paint, the viscosity, without thinning the paint with water. I've found it seems to give a better, more even result than diluting with water all the time. A small bottle isn't too expensive - I got mine for about £5 in January, and it's lasted for almost a year with about two-thirds used so far. It doesn't work miracles, but I like using it.
@Christopher - Yes, absolutely! My style changes a lot depending no the project and the effect I'm going for. I'm doing some Dark Age early Saxons from Gripping Beast at present for a club project which I am going to try with the "Army Dip" method. Very much a different approach needed for those chaps.
@Rodger - thank you Sir!
Wonderful progress; I tempted to try the acrylic flow medium as you seem to get a very even distribution of paint. The little tabs are there, I assume, to make handling easier, do you just glue gun them to the base?ReplyDelete
Finally the Wizard pulls back the curtain to reveal his secrets! LOL. Awesome work, as usual.ReplyDelete
Have you seen the previews for "War Horse"? Looks very promising.
Lovely work, you have a great style. It's always good to see how someone else paints, one never stops learning and there is always a good tip or two to pick up.ReplyDelete
Thanks Gentlemen. I did a little more on the figures last night and the Command Stand is almost done. Aiming to get some finished pictures posted on Wednesday evening (30th December).ReplyDelete
@Michael - have a go with the acrylic flow improver. It is interesting using it. It's really useful when you're covering a larger area - horses, uniforms. The other use it really excels at is keeping the paint on a very small brush (say 1, 0 or 00) liquid for long enough to paint into the fine detail.
@Colonel Hessler - always, always awesome to hear from you Colonel. That, coming from you, is very kind indeed. Not so much Wizard as sorcerer's apprentice perhaps! The "War Horse" does look very good. It's a great book (my daughter enjoyed it), and Dr David Kenyon who helped me with a couple of the articles on Great War cavalry in one of the TooFatLardies' Specials was one of the advisers on it. So, all in all a pretty good bloodline!
@OldSchool - very kind indeed Sir. Thank you!
Thanks Sidney, will certainly look out for some next time I'm in town.ReplyDelete
They look lovely, Sid. Just the chaps to go in and take those funky colourful Boche guns you painted recently.ReplyDelete
Can you take a moment to share how you did the lenses in the gas masks? I am painting a fellow with eyeglasses, and I want to do something similar for the lenses.
Thanks so much for posting these. I'm trying to get back to the painting table and this really does encourage me to pick up the brush again. I've never used Acrylic flow medium, but will definitely give it a try. Hope to post the results in a few days on my blog.

Pseudoautosomal region
The pseudoautosomal regions, PAR1, PAR2,[1] and PAR3,[2] are homologous sequences of nucleotides on the X and Y chromosomes. Although recombination is known to be limited only to the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) of the X and Y chromosomes, a 2013 study reports allelic unequal recombination between the XTR region Yp11.2 and Xq21.3, indicating the presence of a new PAR, which has been named PAR3.[3] This PAR3 region, like PAR2, is exhibited in 2% of the general population. Also, the additional layer of justification has been provided from another study on six dyslexic cases[4] which were shown to harbor duplications and deletions in the same Xq21.3 and Yp11.2 regions through allelic unequal recombination.
The pseudoautosomal regions get their name because any genes within them (so far at least 29 have been found)[5] are inherited just like any autosomal genes. PAR1 comprises 2.6 Mbp of the short-arm tips of both X and Y chromosomes in humans and great apes (X and Y are 155 Mbp and 59 Mbp in total). PAR2 is at the tips of the long arms, spanning 320 kbp.[6]
The location of PAR1 and PAR2 on GRCh38 are:[7][8]
chrY:10,000-2,781,479 and chrY:56,887,902-57,217,415
chrX:10,000-2,781,479 and chrX:155,701,382-156,030,895
Inheritance and function
Normal male mammals have two copies of these genes: one in the pseudoautosomal region of their Y chromosome, the other in the corresponding portion of their X chromosome. Normal females also possess two copies of pseudoautosomal genes, as each of their two X chromosomes contains a pseudoautosomal region. Crossing over between the X and Y chromosomes is normally restricted to the pseudoautosomal regions; thus, pseudoautosomal genes exhibit an autosomal, rather than sex-linked, pattern of inheritance. So, females can inherit an allele originally present on the Y chromosome of their father and males can inherit an allele originally present on the X chromosome of their father.
The function of these pseudoautosomal regions is that they allow the X and Y chromosomes to pair and properly segregate during meiosis in males.[9]
Pseudoautosomal genes are found in two different locations: PAR1 and PAR2. These are believed to have evolved independently.[10]
- pseudoautosomal PAR1
in mice, some PAR1 genes have transferred to autosomes.[11]
- pseudoautosomal PAR2
~5–6 Mya, the Xq21.3 region has a history of duplication and transposition activity by means of a duplicated and later transposed block of 3.5 Mb from the X to the Y chromosome. This process is very similar to the origination of the PAR2. The PARs have a large amount of homology to each other, whereas the XTR alone has 98.78% identity. The genes PCDH11X and TGIF2LX have 99.1% identity with their PCDH11Y and TGIF2LY homologues in the XTR. A few genes in PAR1 and PAR2 are known to escape inactivation in the inactivated chromosome. Likewise, a few genes in Xq21.3 escape inactivation. Exon duplication and shuffling, as well as gene fusion, represent common features of the origination of the PARs. Similarly, gene duplication and recombination has been found between the Xq21.3 and the Yp11.2 regions in the present study. PAR2 and PAR3 share a similar type of origin and creation. PAR2 is found to exhibit a much lower frequency of pairing and recombination than PAR1. Thus, one can expect varied frequency of recombination in each of these PAR regions. Since PAR3 is located 700 kb away from the pseudoautosomal boundary (PB) 1 of PAR1 and Yp regions, the PAR3 might also be the extensions of PB of PAR1, but the flanking sequences suggest otherwise as the sequences do not show any homology with the PAR1 of X chromosome. Since Xq21.3 and XTR of Yp11.2 PAR3 share >98 % sequence homology, it is more likely that the recombination is possible between the PAR3 regions. In support of this, authors have found 2% of the control population showing the presence of Yp11.2 chromosomal segment in the X chromosomes of the normal female. Thus, these recombination events confirm XTR as a PAR3 region. These shared features between the PARs and the XTR suggest that the XTR of the human sex chromosomes is a new PAR, namely, PAR3.[3]
Pairing (synapsis) of the X and Y chromosomes and crossing over (recombination) between their pseudoautosomal regions appear to be necessary for the normal progression of male meiosis.[citation needed] Thus, those cells in which X-Y recombination does not occur will fail to complete meiosis. Structural and/or genetic dissimilarity (due to hybridization or mutation) between the pseudoautosomal regions of the X and Y chromosomes can disrupt pairing and recombination, and consequently cause male infertility.
The SHOX gene in the PAR1 region is the gene most commonly associated with and well understood with regards to disorders in humans,[13] but all pseudoautosomal genes escape X-inactivation and are therefore candidates for having gene dosage effects in sex chromosome aneuploidy conditions (45,X, 47,XXX, 47,XXY, 47,XYY, etc.).
Deletions have also been associated with Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis[14] and Madelung's deformity.

______Is it already time for me to post on teh BLOGE???/
______I wasn't actually ready to post any outfits, so instead my final lithograph from last semester shall be unveiled. I've been busier than my paternal grandmother would be at a male strip club this past week. I imagine that my grandma would rather enjoy those, simply because of her choice in a 21st birthday card she sent me: "Red Rover, Red Rover, send cute, financially stable men right over!" Scrawled fiercely inside the card was a request: "Send the OLD guys to me!"
______She is a wild one and I am forever driven by her electric personality and frankness. In a world of processed orange cheeses, she is spicy and decadent, like well-aged Parmesan with flakes of pepper scattered throughout.
______But yeah, busy week. I had to get my laptop fixed, so I was without it for three days, and those three days were probably the most productive of my summer. I started a 4'x4' painting in the basement, transforming half of my dad's man-cave into a temporary studio, took senior pictures for my neighbor, worked on a good chunk of illustration-comics for my job, and finished two books I had been slogging through. Writing things out makes me feel like I've actually been doing things. Hooray, things!
______Oh! Oh! I'm sure most of you have seen my cake, but since Sunday I have officially been a real 21-year old! I keep forgetting it, too. I'm honestly unfazed by alcohol and still haven't had my first drink, but I'm sure I'll give a darn and sip on some fancy fermented grapes one day.
______Pinkie up.

Optimization Solutions For
Maintaining refrigeration facilities is uniquely demanding. From delivery and shipping schedules, to on-site logistics, to temperature and performance logging, to maintenance and replacement, to compliance and reporting… it all requires significant human investment. It can be even worse for dining services. Not only do the same demands apply, providing a pleasant dining experience is equally important. Plating dozens or hundreds of meals during a rush, every one of them on-time, requires a well-tuned machine. Life in a dining service kitchen is not just about being a great cook, it is about building human systems that produce consistently excellent results. Your front-line results are only as good as your inventory, prep, weakest station, and food storage practices.
View advanced diagnostics and detailed operating data anytime. Receive real-time alerts before temperature goes out of range, access historical performance data for audits and reporting, and recoup an average of 30% of the system's energy consumption. Detect malfunctions before you have a product loss, and filter nuisance alerts from real problems on the fly, on your phone. And if you manage multiple locations, the web-based platform can connect all of your refrigeration systems through a single hub. Best of all, the system pays for itself through energy savings. Financing options are available that can often make the system effectively zero out-of-pocket cost. Your kitchen gets state-of-the-art web management, and your facility gets significant energy and cost savings, without having to fight for budget authorizations.
Never be in the dark about a mechanical issue again. NRM's platform keeps you connected to your equipment 24/7, from anywhere. Many mechanical issues can occur when you least expect them, or when you're not even there to notice them. Evaporator coil icing up on a Saturday? Receive an alert to your phone, schedule extra defrosts from your mobile browser, and resolve the issue. Cooler or freezer door left open? Get an alert and call the onsite staff before it becomes a temperature problem.
Scalable, real-time oversight, tested and proven across tens of thousands of coolers and freezers. Track temperatures, equipment run-times, on/off status, compressor operation, energy consumption, and more. Refrigerant leak detection, lead/lag, load shifting, adaptive defrost, demand limiting, superheat and sub-cooling performance, and custom management strategies can all be easily implemented.
NRM's controls are designed from the ground up to be serviceable by anyone. One-button bypass instantly restores the system to pure mechanical control. If the NRM controls fail or lose power, they immediately go to bypass, and come back online with all settings intact. Simple, user-friendly interfaces and operation makes it easy to get state-of-the-art diagnostics without needing to be a computer expert or an engineer. Automated temperature logging eliminates the need for manual recording.
Deliveries and inventory are two instances where your refrigeration equipment can waste the most energy and experience the most potential for trouble. Doors get left open, breakers get flipped off, and people get distracted. With NRM's system, a bright red button lets delivery people or crewmembers taking inventory safely shut down the walk-in temporarily, preventing them from accidentally leaving a breaker or disconnect turned off.
When the energy-efficiency industry thinks refrigeration, they think NRM. Our award-winning solution is multi-faceted—comprehensive smart controls, predictive diagnostics, a web-based platform, hardware upgrades—allowing it to provide unmatched optimization. Across tens of thousands of coolers and freezers, NRM solutions reduce energy consumption by 30% or more.
With unique 24/7 technical support, dozens of service and installation trucks on real-time GPS tracking, automated work-order management and dispatching, NRM is fully equipped to make sure you get the best possible outcome. Our true turn-key approach to implementation, commissioning, training, and post-installation support, means that one company is accountable: NRM. And our ongoing support also allows for continuous training. When roles change or new service professionals need training, we're only a phone call away.
Motor upgrades, run-time control, adaptive defrost strategies, and precision temperature management all extend the life of the equipment, and reduce the frequency of emergency repair calls.
Whether you have one cold room, a dozen cold rooms, or multiple sites, NRM can help streamline and improve your oversight for all of them. Remote Site Manager's online dashboard provides a convenient, centralized location to see how any of them are performing at any given time. NRM's award-winning controls and monitoring platform can also be integrated into existing EMS/BMS systems easil with Modbus TCP support.
"In our Annenberg dining hall freezer, our compressors were on the verge of burning out, and we would never have picked up on it if not for the monitoring software. Not only did the alert save the compressor, which is a multi-thousand -dollar repair in itself, but potentially a freezer's worth of product that might have been lost otherwise. We've had the monitoring software for 10 years, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. It is one of the best things I did to save money on this campus."

New Updated Artworks Collection From Original Style/
The Artworks collection was first created in 1986 and has been one of Original Style's most popular and successful ranges since then. But even cherished brands need regular updates to keep them relevant and up to date with changes in taste and fashion.

Our Wine of the Week, Inman Family 2013 Russian River Valley OGV Estate Pinot Noir ($68), is an earthy beauty, suave, sophisticated and a tad beguiling, as the best pinot noirs are. It is a grown-up wine, one that does not pander to novices with a lot of forward fruit or any suggestion of sweetness.
Flavors are subtle and elusive. Here's a bit of sour cherry, nope, it's gone, but look, there's some sassafras, no, wait, I think it's nutmeg ... on and on the wine goes, teasing and pleasing all the while. Suggestions of rose petals, dried sage, rhubarb, strawberry all make their ethereal appearances and vanish, only to show again, on the next sip or the long seductive finish.
Tannins are silky and smooth, with a slightly dusty quality towards the outer palate, a quality that reinforces the wine's earthy, forest-y quality.
The wine is extraordinary with mushrooms, especially maitake, oyster or porcini fried in butter until the edges are a bit crisp. Set a slow-roasted salmon fillet on top, add a little beurre rouge and you have an elegant dish that rises to the level of this special-occasion wine. You can find this recipe at "Eat This Now" at pantry.blogs.pressdemocrat.com.
It is also excellent with rare duck breast, duck meatballs, Korean-style beef ribs, grilled quail, slow-cooked eggplant, roasted beets, roasted parsnips and parsnip soup. It's also wonderful, in a perverse sort of way, with a well-made BLT, which means the bacon must be very crisp, the tomatoes perfectly ripe and thinly sliced, and the bread tender, not overly toasted and slathered with a lot of mayonnaise.
Because it is summer and we seem to be riding a few heat waves, I'm suggesting a more casual dish, something you can prepare the ingredients for early in the day when it is cool and bring them up to room temperature in the evening just before tossing them together and adding the dressing, which must be hot.
Sausage, Rice & Bean Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
Serves 3 to 4
3 bacon slices
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons best-quality red wine vinegar, such as Zinfandel or Cabarnet Sauvignon or B. R. Cohn Cabarnet Sauvignon, plus more to taste
— Kosher salt
— Black pepper in a mill
5 tablespoons best-quality extra virgin olive oil, plus more to taste
1 cup cooked short grain rice, preferably Spanish or Italian, warm
1 cup cooked black beans, warm
2 smoked sausage of choice, hot and cut into half rounds
1 small red onion, cut into small dice
½ cup quartered cherry tomatoes
½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
Set a heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, turning a time or two, until it is quite crisp. Transfer the bacon to absorbent paper to drain and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
With the heat on medium low, add the shallot and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, sauté 1 minute more. Add the vinegar, swirl the pan and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat, add the olive oil, stir, taste and correct for salt, pepper and acid balance. Set aside.

It's 29 days until the General Election but it does seem as if the campaign has been going on in earnest since the beginning of the year. And what a lack-lustre campaign it has been so far. The essence of the arguments from the three major UK parties seems to be: 'don't elect Labour, let us finish the economic job we've already started', 'we'll basically continue with the Conservative austerity measures but do it a little more slowly and with more humanity' and 'if you elect us and we have another coalition government, we can prevent the excesses of the other parties'. With the Conservatives focussing on the economy, Labour on the NHS and the Lib-Dems, well focusing on surviving I suspect, there is really little new in what has been promised so far…that is if you believe politicians' promises in the first place. Labour bangs on about creeping privatisation in the NHS forgetting that there was more privatisation before 2010 than after. The Conservatives keep talking about how poor Miliband would be as Prime Minister and they are perhaps right though, as Tony Blair pointed out yesterday in a passionate and well-argued defence of the EU, he did have the courage to resist calls from within his own party to commit himself to a referendum on Europe. The Lib-Dems' message seems to be, please don't punish us for being in the coalition. Given this negative campaigning, it's hardly surprising that the polls have moved little since the campaign began with both Labour and the Conservatives neck and neck around 33 per cent.
Yes, it's breakfast at Tiffany's!
This election is being spun as the most important election for a generation—aren't all elections—but the indications seem to be that there will be a hung parliament. Neither Conservative nor Labour have yet made the electoral breakthrough suggesting that they will form a majority government. But what is significant is that Labour look like being massacred in Scotland by the SNP and their position in Wales, though perhaps less precarious, is coming under sustained fire from Plaid Cymru. If the polls are right, then it is unlikely that Labour could form a majority government or, in fact, end up being the largest party in the new parliament. It simply looks tired in Scotland where its natural right to rule had been increasingly questioned since the mid-2000s while in Wales it has failed to deliver effective government in the National Assembly particularly in the NHS and education. The first past the post system makes it difficult for the Greens and UKIP to make electoral headway but any MPS at all could make them influential in a hung parliament. It is, however, UKIP that is making heavy weather of the election largely because it needs the oxygen of publicity to get its message across and during an election that is diluted. The only way it can grab the headlines—and it has failed to do so—is to make outlandish claims that may well appeal to their core voters but are liable to put everyone else off.
So two weeks in to the campaign proper, the Conservatives and Labour are constantly recycling their rather worn mantra, the Lib-Dems are praying for forgiveness for supporting an increase in tuition fees while the smaller parties are desperately seeking votes to give them a say in a hung parliament. So little new there then.

Singer Fille Mutoni's manager, Mc Kats, who doubles as her boyfriend claims that he is not looking for any profits from Fille's concert slated to happen today at Golf Course hotel.
While at Club Amnesia during the Campus Night on Thursday, Mc Kats stepped on stage before singer Winnie Nwagi performance to promote the upcoming show by dishing out free tickets.
"I am not targeting profits from this concert but I want us to celebrate Fille's musical journey. She has been doing music for the last four years. If I had a chance, I would give everyone a ticket," he said.
He added that four years ago, he hired a BMW car from a garage in Bakuli and went on to shoot Fille's first video outside a rich man's apartment who accused them of transpassing and police extorted some money from them.
Let's all be there and support Fille as she belts out all her fine tunes.

Brings back lots of memories, mostly good. But what I remember most is the smell and the feel of the fleece. Soft soft hands from all the lanolin.
Thank you for the smile for today.
- 16 February 2011 at 17:05
Hope it doesn't get too cold for them! My parents are heading to NZ in two weeks time for a couple of weeks holiday too!

Hello Nicky,
Thanks for sharing your shed with us. Brings back memories of life on the farm growing up. I think my Mum must have cooked so much when the shearers came.
Happy days.

Thanks for those photos. I am definitely not 'country folk' so this is all new to me!
- 17 February 2011 at 00:45
- RobynK said...
I am country but we have beef cattle so this is a new view for me! I'm wondering if the shearers have regular visits to the physio after all that bending and stretching?
- 17 February 2011 at 02:38
Those little sheepies are just so cute - you do put band-aids and Neosporin on their little nicks and cuts so they don't roll in the dirt and get infected, right? :) I've always lived in the city but I've certainly had my exposure to country life too at my grandparents - loved reading your post.
- 17 February 2011 at 03:31
- Michelle said...
Great photo's, Did you have to cook for them all?
I bet the sheep feel a lot cooler now with their new looks!
- 17 February 2011 at 08:57
- dls said...
Thank you for sharing this process. I have seen it in the movies.... but it's never been explained. Would love to see it in person.
So, do the shearing gangs travel from farm to farm? What happens if the all the sheep in an area need shearing at once? How do you grade the wool? How do the sheep react to being sheared the first time? Do you eat lamb? So many questions ... it's all fascinating to me. Thanks again.
Any time you want to share|show your sheep|farm, I'm happy to listen.
- 17 February 2011 at 13:23
- dls said...
PS: Here in Oklahoma, we have crews that travel from Texas up north through the plains states harvesting during the wheat season. Quite different from the farms in the mid-west (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, etc.) where individual farmers harvest their own crops.
All so interesting!
- 17 February 2011 at 13:29
- Carol said...
What a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into life at your farm, Nicky! The shorn sheep are so scrawny and pinkish aren't they. I'm glad to hear that their wool grows in quickly :)
- 18 February 2011 at 02:36
- Suzanne said...
Great photos! Having witnessed hundreds of sheep being sheared, I know how much hard work goes into it all.
- 18 February 2011 at 11:14
- Daffycat said...
Oh, how interesting! These photos are awesome. The sheep do look rather bare after shearing, don't they?

We have two hearts that beat as one: we are consultants and designers but also "augmented artisans"
What we do for our clients is looking for new opportunities in the market to be more competitive by developing borderline products that intersect the different specializations and move from one sector to another with unexplored specificity.
Consulting & Design
We deliver a 360 ° plan, working in synergy with all protagonists involved in the creative process to create innovation: through the ideas, the use of technological materials and teamwork we can build a coherent and integrated design process that reduces the time of the innovation process, thus improving the results.
Thanks to the different specificities, each project is considered in its entirety to leave nothing to chance and provide a turnkey service.
We have designed the following:
– A product (Barbieri products, Martini products, Easy Garden, Il Coccio, La Cipressa, Vexell);
– A space (stand Cosmoprof, Cosmopak, VinItaly, stores);
– A car (Pagani, Carter Brothers, Lotus car, EVQ the car to wear, FORTASSE prototype for a vehicle with two separate seats);
– A motorcycle (Yamaha, Polini, tecnologic);
– Other (Fantacar, Martini spa, Giorm, Carbone-a–porter).
Our strength lies in the relationships with workers and professionals selected over the years, which in turn are involved according to the needs of the project and allow us to realize projects from the idea to the prototype to the pre-series, to the product, ready to be marketed.
We are looking for partners for the development of innovative ideas for a constantly expanding market, to export ideas Made in Italy and produce as well as market them worldwide. We are, in fact, trying to create the base for an e-project: global projects for a global market and a higher quality of the products.
Finesse, craftsmanship, technology: a modern "workshop"
In addition to the experience in the field of design and consultation, we also boast capabilities that lead us to be called "augmented craftsmen." We are talking about a kind of "workshop" 2.0 that combines the passion and meticulousness of the artisans of the past with modern technology, such as 3D printers.
Carbone-a-porter: an example of Strategic Branding
Through the creation of an image and the launching of a brand we have patented a business idea itself: the precious line "new-wave".
This jewelry is made from carbon fiber, (series of jewelry slides) used for the first time in combination with gold and diamonds, reinterpreting a millennial sector: the art of the goldsmiths. Not only have we thought of a "nice shape" but researched innovative materials, reinforcing the idea that we call "brand strategy".
EVG: Making each car a unique piece
Another concept we've been working on for about a year, is the design of a car.
The goal is to create a means of transport niche that excites the way cars of the past did, but with all the elements that the most successful car manufacturers of today are providing: Modularity that allows you to customize the vehicle to your liking (for example, the choice of propulsion, or other elements that make each car a unique piece).
EVQ (photo) is a car designed as a "product" of consumption, just like a pair of glasses or a t-shirt. It is an object to be worn according to our moods and our needs, a product that is not only functional but also to our personal taste. It is going to allow customization to meet in depth the individual needs that can't be found in products offered by car manufacturers today – the object of your dreams.
In both cases that we just talked about, we have built the base for a process of communication (brand identity and strategy), aimed at communicating the values of the brand through the stores and the stands (trade show and retail desig), which is extremely useful in order to create a strong and recognizable brand image over time. This work is to be developed in collaboration with relevant partners, able to grab our challenge of the niche market, to create and imagine new ways for the dissemination and distribution and perhaps even through new channels.
This is what we did for Martini Spa, for which we started as a product designer for the line "coccole di sapone" thatresulted in the famous "Arome", the first three-dimensional aromatized sponges. In the process we have taken care of the communication, branding and trade show stand – when we approach a project we like to leave no stone unturned and we try to think of every aspect. Like we did withe first "garden in the kitchen", Easy Garden, for which we relized:
– Brand design
– Naming
– Logo
– Packaging
– Methods of marketing at point of sale
– Stand
The product consists of peat pellet cubes ofs 3×3 cm, obtained with a particular production process. For the packaging we proposed a blister sealed packaging and considering the distribution in supermarkets, used a strong graphic impact.
In addition to aspects related to the brand design, we have also restyled several corporate logos, for example, for the historical manufacturer of evaporators "Il coccio" for which we created , in addition to the design of each individual evaporator, also to the packaging, communication and product catalogs.
Designing for two and four wheels
Not only communication, but a lot of design, cars and motorcycles in the front line. One of our projects is, for example, the first hybrid GT and Superbike: it's unique motion was presented at the Verona Motor Bike Expo 2012 commissioned by Motoshop Parma in collaboration with Diapason Racing. Our part was the design and realization. The windshield was printed with the technology of rapid prototyping, while the front was completely redesigned to improve aerodynamics and comfort.
Another example, was commissioned to us by Carter Brothers, an American company of vehicles for leisure, involving the vehicle with an engine-derived motorcycle called UTV Utility transport vehicles. The design was chosen to give a more "automotive" and young look, an aspect not considered by the competition.
Three variants were produced, Matrix 300 and Buggy Revo 150, the latter is designed for the entertainment of children up to 14 years, with the possibility of accommodating an adult as a passenger. This vehicle is particularly suitable for a medium-extreme off-road use.

The Cavs host Stroudsburg in a showdown that should give some shape to the Mountain Valley Conference race. But it's the Cavaliers who are perfect at this point and that has coach Ed Christian thinking his team might have enough wind in its sails to upend the defending conference champion Mounties.
Two games equalled two close victories for East Stroudsburg South to start the 2012 season.
Now let's see what the Cavaliers can do with the momentum they've gained.
Tonight, the Cavs host Stroudsburg in a showdown that should give some shape to the Mountain Valley Conference race. But it's the Cavaliers (2-0, 1-0) who are perfect at this point and that has coach Ed Christian thinking his team might have enough wind in its sails to upend the defending conference champion Mounties (1-1, 1-0 MVC).
"Yeah, we tell the kids they did a lot of good things," Christian said of last week's victory. "I think we played, I know we played a good Freedom team, and West is a decent team. They got a kid (QB Jeff Krisiak), he's a four-year starter, he should be good."
The Cavaliers came from behind to beat both Freedom (16-14) on opening night, and then last week from 14 points down to beat Pocono Mountain West, 22-21. What the Cavaliers haven't done lately is beat Stroudsburg. Eastburg South's last victory against the Mounties came Oct. 1, 2010, a 42-14 victory.
Since then the Cavaliers have lost three straight to Stroudsburg, including a pair of routs a year ago, 59-19 and 21-0 on Thanksgiving Day.
ES South has won with defense so far. Christian said the three key players defensively have been senior defensive end Stanly Acosta, junior defensive end Darrion Alkema and junior corner Dylan Romanow.
The Mounties head to Eastburg with mixed feelings so far — an upset loss to Northampton (20-14) on opening night followed by an expected 35-7 victory over Lehighton.
What are Christian's biggest concerns about Stroudsburg?
"Offensively, probably the speed of the backs," Christian said, "and defensively, their aggressiveness."
Stroudsburg running back Altarique Mosley-Dew has run for 251 yards this year, while Gerald Douglas has added 108.
Stroudsburg has allowed just 150 yards rushing in two games.
"The telling part for us will be the aggressiveness of our offensive line," Christian said. "I think that will be a real big factor in what we want to do and how we want to do it."
The pick: Stroudsburg has an offensive line that will counter ES South's strength on defense. Mounties, 28-20.
Here's a look at the rest of tonight's games
Pocono East faces an important week — getting back on its feet after a tough loss to East Stroudsburg North on Monday.
Lehighton has scored 17 points in two games (10 vs. Marian and 7 vs. Stroudsburg).
The pick: Pocono East shouldn't take any team lightly at this point. Cardinals 28-14.
In two games, Pleasant Valley has shown it's a team on the rise this year. Freshman RB Austyn Borre has over 300 yards rushing, but the Panthers' defense is better than Dieruff's D.
The Panthers let a victory slip through their fingers against ES South last week, falling 22-21. That can be tough on an inexperienced club with high hopes.
The pick: PV's defensive line is going to cause problems for the Panthers up front. Bears, 21-19.
A huge kickoff return in the closing seconds by Abdul Murphy against Pocono East on Monday night has the Timberwolves in position tonight — with a victory — to start with the program's first 3-0 start.
Allen is 0-2 after a 33-6 loss to Tamaqua last week.
The pick: Tough year for the Canaries. North is in route to its second straight postseason berth. ES North, 42-7.

InterView – Alan Sanchez
Alan Sanchez – Good Day Sacramento
by Chris Murphy
ModestoView goes way back with Alan Sanchez. We always knew Alan was going to go big. From his early days at Hilmar High and MJC and Central Valley Report, his way with people and his energy in front of the camera was engaging and everyone he talked to related to him. Alan soon became "The Intern". Alan sensed an opportunity to break into the TV world. Since Modesto is not it's own demographic market (a position we strongly disagree with) Alan decided to take his "fun man on the Modesto street message" to Sacramento in 2006.
Fast forward to today, Alan is no longer an intern, but one of central California's favorite TV personalities. Alan is still Modesto based and the good things in Modesto have been front and center daily on the popular Good Day Sacramento thanks to the efforts of Alan Sanchez. Alan has the honor of hosting the Modesto Area Music Awards (the MAMAs) more than anyone else and has showcased Modesto musicians on his show.
We all want to change the way people perceive Modesto, and what Alan is doing is one of the most high profile ways to do it. Let's get to know our highly televised, energetic and caffeinated Modesto Ambassador, Alan Sanchez.
ModestoView: Tell us about your Modesto roots.
Alan Sanchez: I was born and raised in Turlock. I went to a Turlock School until I was in 6th grade. Then moved schools and went to Hilmar until graduation. Before Freshman year, my family and I moved to Keyes and that's where my parents still live. As for Modesto, my family and I were poor, and couldn't afford many things, even the 15-20 minute trip to Modesto. We would shop at the mall when we had a chance and check out the American Graffiti celebrations downtown. Which are always great memories. I finally got a job in Modesto at the Longs Drugs (now CVS) off of Scenic and Oakdale and haven't left Modesto since. Only a few moths before my 21st birthday, I decided to try school out, and signed up for classes at Modesto JC. My initial plan was to go for pharmacy tech. Yet I took 1 Beginning TV class and it happened to be my 1st class. I was in that class for 5 minutes and that was it. I knew that I wanted to be a reporter, and NOTHING was going to stop me. I made sure to involve myself into school. Thus allowing me to discover Modesto. And I love it.
MV: How did you get the Good Day Sacramento gig?
AS: When I was an intern a reporter called in sick, they needed a someone to help out. They took a big chance with me, and I did the segment. I did ok, but they saw the passion in my eyes. they kept me on every weekend for the next 6 months. After that, they offered me part time reporter job. I did that for a year and then they offered me a contract. becoming the youngest reporter in Sacramento market history.
MV: You have traveled throughout the valley covering a variety of events, what is it that makes Modesto special?
AS: Modesto truly has people who love the town. Who have passion for the city, to keep it thriving more everyday. They get excited about event and charities. That makes it easy to cover event and positive stories about Modesto.
MV: You recently have gotten super fit. This is a great healthy message how did you do it?
AS: I knew for over a year that I was going to Miami this past April. I kept telling myself I had to get fit, then it was only 2 months to Miami and I had done nothing about getting fit. I got into the gym lost a few pounds, started to feel great. And I was off and now I've lost over 50 lbs. With a nutritional plan from locally owned Max Muscle and Fitness at Cross Fit Modesto. I'm stronger and more fit than ever.
MV: Tell us about one of your interviews that went surprisingly different than you expected.
AS: About 4 years ago, I did an interview with a Blue Angels Jet Pilot, while flying just under 800 mph. Doing turns, flying upside down, and rolls was fun and a bit scary. It was a wonderful experience but doing an interview was a bit hard because I was in amazement. MV: Modesto is a giving community, what is your perspective about how the people of Modesto support each other? AS: The Love Modesto event is a wonderful example. Getting thousand of people to take over all parts of Modesto to help in anyway possible. Modesto does a great job in making sure they're opportunities for anyone with any skill to help.
MV: What is something you have learned about Modesto that most people don't know?
AS: There is so much to do, see, and shop. From great events like X-fest, MAMAs, and fun charity events. Cool movies at the State Theater, plus so many shops that you can only find in Modesto that get people from outside of town coming in.
MV: What is your dream job?
AS: I have it. When I was 5 years old living in the poor side of Turlock. I always wanted to be a TV reporter. Then when I was 12 I saw this show called GOOD DAY SACRAMENTO, and I saw how fun they were and are. I knew that was the show for me
MV: Who would you most like to interview?
AS: I'm a big WWE fan. Wrestling has been in my life from day one. I'd love to interview Stone Cold Steve Austin.
MV: Do you have any New Year's resolutions?
AS: Not a resolution, but keep working hard, and staying positive. Knowing that you only live once and no promise for tomorrow, I do my best to love and live life.
MV: What would you like to see Modesto do differently in 2013?
AS: I'd love to see more kids and teen programs for Modesto. I know the boys and girls club is starting back up, that would be awesome. If we help out kids with positive programs they will grow up to be positive people for the area.
MV: Describe the perfect Alan Sanchez Modesto day.
AS: Going to downtown Modesto sitting at one of our local cafes, jamming some music on my I phone. Have a chai tea while talking to my long time buddy and local video photographer Dan Zampa.
MV: Our legendary question: Beatles or Stones? AS: BEATLES!!! I have dozen and dozens of their song all over my IPod

But here we are on November 15th and that is where we are. Here are my thoughts on Georgia's bowl chances:
BCS National Championship: This ain't 2007, y'all.
Sugar: Clearly, this is the crown jewel of bowl talk for the Georgia fan. The path is simple, but not easy. Beat Kentucky this week, then beat the SEC West Champion in Atlanta. We'll likely get Houston or the loser of the OU vs Oklahoma State game.
CapitolOne and Cotton (updated to reflect reality, not my perception..see comments): CapOne picks immediately after the BCS picks are off the table, and is obligated to take the top remaining team or a team within one game of that team. Traditionally, CapOne picks the top non-BCS team from the East and the Cotton the top non-BCS team from the West. Last year, 'Bama was picked over South Carolina, due to their better record. 2005 was the last Cotton Bowl to feature a team from the East (Tennessee). In fact, Tennessee is the only team from the East to play in the Cotton Bowl under the current bowl alignment agreement.
So where does that leave us? A combination of 'Bama, LSU and Arkansas are BCS teams, with the other West team going to the Cotton Bowl. However, there is a
In the Cotton Bowl, we'd get Kansas State, Texas or Baylor, unless Oklahoma or Oklahoma State don't get a BCS nod. My money is on KState.
In the CapOne, we'd play some combination of Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska, or Michigan State. My money is on Wisconsin.
Outback: If we lose to Kentucky, this is the very best we can hope for. If we lose to Tech after beating Kentucky, it gets murkier. The more likely scenario, of course, is beat Kentucky, lose to Tech and have the CapOne and Cotton pass on us. Go to the Outback and we face some crappy B1G team, likely Michigan, which is far better than Nashville facing some crappy ACC team. I think this is the 'worse' bowl game we'll go to if we beat Kentucky, but lose to Tech.
There is one other way we end up in Tampa: if Arkansas is the only BCS team from the SEC, which is frankly not very plausible. If that happens, LSU and Bama will go to the CapOne and Cotton.
Peach...or worse: Lose both of the remaining games. Face regret and the Dawg Vent crashing. It is possible, but not conceivable, given the other options, that the Dawgs could win one/both regular season games, then lose the SECCG and end up getting South Carolina'ed, but considering that'd mean three bowls would have passed over a 9-10 win Georgia for 7 win teams, I don't see it happening.
Right now, let's win this week and see what happens in Atlanta. Win the first one in Atlanta and we are nearly assured at least the Cotton/CapOne. Lose both in Atlanta, CapOne is the very best we can hope for and are likely looking at Outback.
I'd love to go to Dallas if we aren't in New Orleans. Wouldn't you?

Thanks to John for the inspiration (I couldn't find a comment button on your blog to ask permission, so I will just beg forgiveness);
I had planned to do this for some time but it was on the nice to do list. Then one of the ballasts began to give out. I have a spare ballast but the installation was above my pay grade.
John's article is excellent so I won't repeat it here. Suffice to say that I took the "non-soldering" route with components from 1000bulbs.com. My solution was more expensive but any failed components can simply be popped out and replaced. Unit cost of the LED upgrade is approx $30. Labor, as usual, is about $0.01 per hour. Power usage should be approx .3 amps on white and .25amps on red.
I really like the Alpenglow company and I have no doubt that their upgrade would be better quality, but hey, I'm a sailor. I would certainly recommend their new LED fittings as an initial installation.

Sliding companionway hatch.....finally!
Aft sliding companionway hatch design finally completed and ready to be bolted down. The forward cross bar will obviously be removed. I know it's not to everyone's taste but it ties in with my no teak on deck concept. Existing forward hatch shown for comparison. That will also be replaced with a sliding Perspex hatch.

We are honored that the Kitsap Navy Base Commander has allowed us to have our Luncheons onboard the Navy Base. This enables many of our active duty guests to attend. Recent security changes will have an impact on how we get on base.
Our current practice requires a registration one week in advance of the meeting by calling Shannon at Evergreen Moving and Storage 360-674-2762. For those members with base access this is sufficient notice to tell the cooks how many people to plan for.
For members with out base access we need to know much sooner (weeks) to allow for security to review and develop a base access list to be positioned at the gates. Please call Shannon as early as possible to allow for a smooth process.
If this process isn't completed the only other option is to ride with
someone who does have base access.
Access Information Required:

#BLOGTRENDS – Remembering Why We Blog – 5/5/14
In this #BlogTrends chat, a few of us revealed our ages when we admitted that some of us have been blogging (or at least reading them) since back in LiveJournal's heyday! More importantly, we got to the reasons why we've kept going and what our plans are for the future. Read on to see what our #blogtrends crew had to say about how long they've been blogging, why they started, and where they're going:

Feb. 18 — The Securities and Exchange Commission sent its first settlement offers to municipal securities issuers that, if accepted, would resolve allegations of faulty disclosures, people with knowledge of the agreements told Bloomberg BNA.
A lawyer who has seen the "offer of settlement" sent to a client by the SEC told Bloomberg BNA the document includes a set of facts describing the alleged deficiencies, a list of remedies the issuer must undertake as part of the settlement and a certification affirming that the person signing the settlement has the authority to act at the issuer's behest.
The settlement offers are the second phase of the SEC Municipalities Continuing Disclosure Cooperation Initiative, or MCDC, and follow a series of enforcement cases involving municipal securities underwriters. Still to come: the initiative's enforcement cases against individuals found liable for the deficiencies and cases against underwriters and issuers electing not to participate in MCDC by self-reporting past deficiencies.
Practitioners said the enforcement initiative, announced in March 2014, has focused the municipal securities industry's attention on deficient disclosure practices involving municipal securities, including heightening an awareness of the consequences of noncompliance with associated securities laws . Many SEC officials, including former Chairman Elisse Walter, have for years voiced concerns about municipal bond disclosures and the relatively opaque nature of municipal securities transactions.
SEC spokeswoman Judith Burns didn't respond immediately to a request for comment regarding the latest MCDC enforcement cases.
The cases against issuers follow the completion of MCDC cases against underwriters. On Feb. 2, the SEC announced the completion of cases against underwriters that self-reported their own deficiencies under the initiative—a total of 72 underwriters representing 96 percent of the market share for municipal underwritings ).
As the SEC begins rolling out cases against issuers, practitioners wondered just which issuers would be targeted, and how many. Many practitioners said the SEC is likely to follow its own practice established in dealing with underwriters: grouping cases into bunches and then announcing bunches of enforcement actions at separate times.
Overarching elements the SEC will have to consider when contemplating which cases to bring are fairness and materiality, practitioners said. The SEC has said it is looking to detect material deficiencies, but just how the agency will decide what is material is largely unknown. It is possible the SEC will elect not to proceed with an enforcement action against issuers that decided to self-report, for instance. It is also possible issuers participating in a particular transaction aren't targeted by an enforcement action, while underwriters involved in that same transaction were the subject of an enforcement case.
"I think that the SEC will likely take into consideration the concept of fairness with regard to determining which issuers will be the subjects of enforcement actions," Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's Elaine Greenberg, a former SEC municipal securities enforcement official, told Bloomberg BNA. "If the SEC decided a violation involving an underwriter, in connection with a specific offering, reached a materiality threshold resulting in an enforcement action, the SEC may believe it would be appropriate to also bring an enforcement action against an issuer involved in that same transaction," she said.
"The materiality inquiry has been front and center throughout this entire MCDC initiative. And that really has been the heart of, in my view, the decisionmaking as to whether or not the self-reporter warrants an enforcement action," Greenberg said.
In recent weeks, SEC enforcement officials placed telephone calls to issuers notifying them that the settlement documents were in the mail, sources said. Dustin McDonald, Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) director, told Bloomberg BNA that issuers should be ready to review the settlement documents quickly and respond to the settlement offers expeditiously.
He added, however, that GFOA was told by SEC officials that issuers will likely receive additional time to review the settlement documents if requested—partly because some issuers such as municipal entities don't meet weekly or even monthly.
"If issuers ask for more time, they will get more time," McDonald said.
A person reviewing the settlement terms said issuers have one week to suggest corrections to the allegations and another three weeks to accept the settlement. That person said the settlement terms were substantially similar to those outlined by the SEC when it announced the MCDC initiative. Those issuers accepting the settlement must:
LeeAnn Gaunt, the current chief of the SEC municipal securities and public pensions enforcement specialized unit, will likely review any enforcement recommendation before SEC commissioners decide whether to agree to offer any settlement to an issuer.
Under terms outlined by the SEC, issuers will neither admit nor deny the SEC findings. And, unlike cases brought against underwriters, no payment of a civil penalty will be required.
The initiative encouraged municipal securities underwriters and issuers to report prior violations of federal securities laws no later than Dec. 1, 2014. In exchange, participants in the initiative could expect to receive less severe, more uniform sanctions in subsequent enforcement actions.
Industry observers concede that underwriters and issuers often didn't fully comply with SEC rules regarding the accuracy of disclosures intended to enhance investor protections for years, and the initiative seeks to address that deficiency.

We have provided the STEM Experiment setup to the Nicora High School having 60 experiments. It is giving excellent understanding of principles of physics. The students are also very enthusiastic to learn from this. I think it will help a lot in future for the Quality Education. Thank you very much.
Only imagining how things work from the textbook did not give the required knowledge. But due to this science working model we now understand how are these concepts applied. These science models have explained the concepts so well that we cannot forget them easily.
We have a mini science centre in our school now. Usually we used to study science laws only from textbooks, but today we have seen them practically. Now we can study in a much better way. This will help us in our higher standards.
Earlier our students had to view these science models from a distance at other places, but now they can touch and see these science models themselves.
We wish STEM Learning keeps on providing us with new science models.
Earlier teaching only theory would not actually make the students understand the experiments. But after this practical approach they understand things faster and better.

"Night-Dark Wasting Time!"
Send Letters to email@example.com
Letter from Andrew G. Eggleston Sr.
In response to Mr. Smith's most recent article listed on the bighead press site [and TLE, "New Maps of Bulgaria"Editor]:
The Libertarian Printing Press?
Editor L.Neil Smith?
As a reader I would venture that a publishing house run by Mr. L. Neil Smith would be a great success. All libertairians should consider the success of such a publisher as a victory in the idealogical war waged against libertarians and all who would avoid the statist ideal.
Please Mr Smith start a publishing house if you sell shares for a reasonable rate I will buy as many shares as I can afford. I think many of your fans might as well, a small buisness loan and sales in advance of printing could get you off of the ground.
Your buisness model could include contracting out printing, as well as all other aspects: you could even ask for volunteers to read submisions.
You could even sell copies by accepting advance payment to pay for printing.
Don Wilson
Regarding the Letter by Ann Morgan:
Yes. It is a waste of activists' time and energy, and that is an opportunity cost to the cause of freedom. Writing letters to advertisers should be viewed much like buying lottery tickets, homeopathic medicine, prayer, and voting. Helpful results are so rare that we should regard the practice as a superstition.
The One Laptop Per Child machine is claimed to start shipping to the US on November 12th for $400. I expect ebay will quickly lower the US price from $400 to $200 + DHL shipping.
I haven't put my hands on a machine, and it could be a dog. But what if it's pretty good? Consider the effect that just ten machines could have in an oppressed place, if they were used to smuggle videos into youtube of oppressors in uniform beating people. Ten new videos, six days a week. Turn it into a TV show on the Internet, call it THUGS. How many cheap machines roaming around a city does it take to update the location of oppressors on a layer in google maps? What's the PR value of a google earth model of a city of bombed-out wreckage? Could beatings be displayed in real-time in Second Life?
Naah. You'd rather write advertisers, so the old media would eventually screen less propaganda, so the majority would eventually vote better, so new legislators would eventually pass better laws, and more freedom would result. How much leverage are you working against?
J. Martin
Thank Whoever is listening for the Renaissance.
Back before the Big R a person's identity and value was tied into his membership in a group such as his family, sect, fraternal orders, etc.
He was expected to behave in a way that reinforced group solidarity. If a member of the group was lynched for witchcraft and this got rid of tensions threatening solidarity this was Okay, even desirable if the lynching reinforced the sense of solidarity.
During the Renaissance value was redefined as being intrinsic to the individual. You actually had to have some evidence that he was a witch before you could execute him for witchcraft. This evidence included left handedness and being green eyed (guess two bits of data that would be used to describe me in an APB), keeping familiars, prospering when his enemies failed etc.. Hey, it's a step up.
This would evolve into the more modern concept that it's ok for someone to be a witch as long as they don't abuse the Craft to try to harm people. For example, a few years ago there was a case in Mississippi of people being convicted of assault because they tried to cast harmful hexes on their local law enforcement.
This evolution from group identity over all to the state existing to protect individual rights is a consequence of the Renaissance and its humanist philosophy. Of course, tyrants would like to return to the days when any person and any right could be sacrificed to maintain group solidarity, especially if they get to pick who and what rights. It doesn't help that human nature as a social animal militates to support this collectivist point of view.
Notice how wannabe tyrants of right and left wish to dump reason and humanism as principals used to set government agenda and argue that rights, such as the right to keep and bear arms (from knives over 4" to machineguns), are collective and may be restricted for the general good. And notice how lonely it feels sometimes when you defend your rights and personal integrity.
Worth it though, isn't it?

Be afraid; be very afraid!!
Andrew G. Eggleston Sr.
When I was younger I viewed guns as just another tool or piece of sporting gear. Meeting the responsibilities of everyday life I got in in a situation where I believed I need money more than I needed a gun. So I became a man without firearms.
As I got older I realized that owning guns is necessary to both assert and defend my rights under the Bill of Rights. Next month, next bonus, next pay raise, next paid off bill, I'll finally rearm. My support for the Second Amendment became and remains a part of a frenetic struggle to buy at least one gun and cartridges before the supporters of gun control find a way to cut off honest people's access to guns.
Gun ownership is a political right, like speaking up for your beliefs and voting. If you do not assert these rights you will eventually lose them and those who hate those rights will say "Well he wasn't using them anyhow."
Guns are tools and why not sell tools you aren't using. Then one day you realize that simply owning a gun is a chore, the task of asserting your freedom and thus protecting freedom for yourself, your family, and your fellow Americans. Your guns are tools you use simply by possessing them and thus exercising and defending the Bill of Rights.
And now I scramble to correct a mistake.
All your rights are tools to protect the life, liberty, and prosperity of yourself and your family. Fail to exercise these rights and you risk losing them and failing your obligation to yourself and your kin.

JPFO ALERT: Another Glimmer of Hope
Last week we introduced L. Neil Smith's article "A Glimmer of Hope", which can be found at www.jpfo.org/smith-glimmer.htm. Based on the novel Hope, which Smith penned in conjunction with JPFO's own Aaron Zelman, "A Glimmer of Hope" details the qualities of the novel's protagonist (and presidential candidate) Alexander Hope.
Today we introduce the second part of that article, "Another Glimmer of Hope", which you can view at www.jpfo.org/smith-glimmer2.htm. What would happen if we had a government of the Bill of Rights, by the Bill of Rights, and for the Bill of Rights . . . and we no longer feared our government?
Read "Another Glimmer of Hope" and decide if 2008 will give us Hope.
