This is my attempt for the theme of Chicken for Illustration Friday and it is also an entry for 52 Designs. My good friend Jannie Ho over at Chicken Girl Design suggested the topic this week. I loved drawing this and I am loving seeing my other talented friends interpret the theme over here, here and here. Chickens are taking over the world!
It wasn't all wonderful and fun though, the painting is still growing on me. Positive critique first: I love the blending between the sky and grass, the blending on the trees and the action of my little chicken. I am not all that pleased with the trampoline or the sky. Living and learning with this medium, so that is the bottom of my positive/negative/positive sandwich. ;) It would look nice as a print though. The jury is still out on this one.

by Mike –
"An all-new Jensen Interceptor will be launched next year, after CPP Global Holdings was appointed to engineer, develop and build the new car by the brands' owners, Healey Sports Cars Switzerland Ltd (HSCS)."
So begins a press release from Jensen Sports Cars.
They do not say what the engine will be but they say the chassis and body will be aluminum. Customer deliveries are planned for 2014 and oh, one more rather odd quote from the press release. "Annual production numbers and pricing are yet to be confirmed, but will be fixed to ensure ultra-exclusivity."
I take this to mean few cars that cost a lot.
The second, most popular and most well known Jensen model to be called the Interceptor was produced from 1966 to 1976 and was styled by Carrozzeria Touring of Italy. This Interceptor used steel for the body instead of aluminum or fiberglass as previous Jensen models.
Initially the 383 cid Chrysler V8 was used and later cars used the 440 cid V8.
The early bodies were made by Vignale in Italy and later body production was moved to Jensen's in house facilities. The Interceptor was offered in fastback, convertible and a few coupes were made.
Most were made with the Torqueflite automatic transmission but 22 were made with a manual transmission.
There were more than 6,000 Interceptors produced between 1966 and 1976 including a few convertibles, fewer coupes; most were 2+2 models.
They still remain very popular collector cars and are highly sought after.
Let's hope that the new version is as good.
You can read more about Jensen cars in my book, European Style with American Muscle.

Canon PIXMA iX7000 Download Driver
Canon PIXMA iX7000 Download Driver - As you might assume, this isn't really a compact system. It's wider than nearly all the printers we've examined as well as and when absolutely open for A3+ print, it is nearly as deep as it's far broad. Fortunately, and when printing small dimensions, both its entrance and also output trays can be telescoped in, saving loads of area, as well as the rear tray, that is scheduled for a picture file, may be folded down onto the printer's pinnacle cover.
Canon PIXMA iX7000
There are three different paper assets at the Pixma iX7000, via the 250-sheet paper cassette slotting in on the front, a 20-sheet rear feed tray and a similarly 10-sheet guide feed on the front, over the outcome tray. This makes the system very flexible, as you could hold ordinary paper loaded, even as printing out of either of the opposite two assets.
There's a 6th cartridge, even though, positioned under a cover to the left of the ink-jet printer carriage. Marked Clear, this ink coat is carried out through the roller to each sheet of simple record so that Canon's 'Lucia' pigment inks sit on the coating and no longer without delay on the document. Canon says this results in brighter, a lot more distinctive prints on untreated papers.

**Warning: TMI post on female issues** you have been warned
A few years ago I had to have a full abdominal hysterectomy much to my dismay. Though we were sure that our child birthing days were over it hurt to have to give up what was one of my most essential woman parts. The womb that grew my 2 amazing daughters. But as time went on after having my children things just weren't working properly and I was heading towards more serious troubles so the decision was made.
One other problem I was dealing with at the same time, was mild to moderate incontinence due to who knows. But the specialist performing the hysterectomy decided she would put a "tape" on the tubing leading to the bladder to stop the leaking and I was THRILLED! After my long and very painful recovery (6 weeks) I thought that all had taken nicely and healing was on the right track. I remember talking to one of my nurses on my 3rd and final day in the hospital about how much money we were going to save not having to purchase pads and the freedom of no more periods ever! It helped to lift my spirits during my silent mourning.
Here we are years later and unfortunately the leaking has returned. I've gone to see one specialist a little over a year ago who wasn't sure if it were bad enough yet and told me to contact them whenever I got to a point I couldn't take it anymore and wanted surgery or something like that. From that point I figured I would just try and deal with it. Go to the restroom more, try out those Poise pads. But here's the thing, I am enjoying my "Freedom from the Pad" where I had to wear something for a week once a month only to trade off to EVERY day? That hardly seems fair. The discomfort and embarrassment (well silent embarrassment because I haven't shared this with anyone until now) is starting to over take my thoughts, my moods and dammit it's getting pretty depressing. I'm struggling with whether or not to contact the urologist and have a serious heart to heart with him about my options. If we agree that I just need to accept my current situation and change my thoughts on it, I will I'm just not in a place yet where I can feel that way.
With my joint problems, arthritis, fatigue, etc I'm already feeling old beyond my years and that scares me. What will be my quality of life in my 50s? 60s? If I'm already struggling at 39? So I'm feeling the urge to dispense with the tough-guy routine and go to my doctors and say I can't hack this I want to feel confident, strong, well and not worry or feel like I want to hide. Fix-ME! please?
I release my wishes into the universe to go with confidence forward in seeking relief and peace of mind.
in love and light

PASTORAL CARE COURSE Here is an exciting opportunity to explore and learn more about Christian pastoral care.
It's a 10-session course, certificated by Pastoral Care UK and the Association of Christian Counsellors, which will be run at St John's in late Autumn and early New Year. It is not so much an academic, as experiential course, whereby people will be encouraged to engage with God as they look to develop their pastoral care.
Whilst the course has a flavour of pastoral care for marriages, plenty of the core material is relevant for general pastoral care training. To that end, the course suits anyone wishing to learn more about pastoral care, those in need of a refresher, or simply people who want to be better equipped to attend to the needs in the community/workplace.
If you want to know more, please speak to Barry and Chrissy Turner (0208 462 6925 or 07513 586 873) or pick up a flyer in church or the Beacon Centre.

Service Stream's (ASX:SSM) 1H earnings were impacted by writedowns from lost revenue at a large infrastructure project and a shortfall in its telecom business, CEO Graeme Sumner said today.
The company, which provides end-to-end services for the telecom and utilities industries, reported an $8.6 million net loss on Friday.
Service Stream was forced to write down $15.8 million in costs from the McCourt Dando GCDA civil engineering project, when a contractual dispute resulted in the company not being paid for works rendered, Sumner said in an Open Briefing.
While Service Stream is suing to recoup the lost revenues, the fact that it chose to write down the costs is an indication that the company is not confident it will be successful, he added.
The company has taken moves to stimulate a turnaround, including exiting the civil construction business and implementing structural and personnel changes, he said. But the company is expecting 2H10 to be in-line with the first half, and does not expect to pay a dividend.

The Communist Party of Israel (CPI) has condemned and denounced as unacceptable the conviction of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), Kemal Okuyan, by the Turkish courts to 11 months and 20 days in prison on the pretext that, in an article he wrote, "he insulted the President of Turkey, Erdogan.

To fraternal parties and friends of TKP
Kemal Okuyan, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey, has been sentenced to 11 months and 20 days of imprisonment on the grounds that he libeled President Erdoğan in an article published on July 28, 2015. The fact that Kemal Okuyan will not serve time provided that he pays a pecuniary fine determined by the court, does not make any difference.
Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) released a comprehensive public declaration calling on the working people to get organized within the party to strengthen the people's true alternative.
ICP, 17 January 2017
According to the newsportal soL, the Communist Party of Turkey released a comprehensive public declaration on January 15 with the titlle 'In order to enlighten 2018, TKP says that.
The World Federation of Trade Unions, which is the militant voice of more than 92 million members in 126 countries all over the world, extends its internationalist solidarity with Nakliyat-Is and the workers of Zeytinburnu Nakliyeciler Site in Istanbul against the decision of its demolition and against the oppression towards the workers by the riot police.
The Governorship and Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul decided to demolish Zeytinburnu Nakliyeciler Site where 1000 workers are employed, in order to make profits from its exploitation since it is at the centre of Istanbul, sending by this way 1.000 families to impoverishment and hunger.
The World Federation of Trade Unions, which is the militant voice of 92 million members in 126 countries in the 5 continents, expresses its firm solidarity and support to the workers of Tekno Maccaferri factory in Düzce and their union, Birleşik Metal-İş.
The workers went on strike on July 31, after Tekno Maccaferri company denied the demands of workers during collective bargaining discussions. Yesterday 20 workers, who have been on strike for 25 days, gathered in front of the factory and did not allow the trucks enter into the factory.
The Conference process of the 12th Congress of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) has been completed with the two day meeting of the delegates in İstanbul on 27-28 May 2017. At the 12th Congress of TKP, important decisions for the forthcoming year of struggle have been decided on at the sessions by the participation of the 383 delegates, 14 of which from abroad.
The World Federation of Trade Unions, representing 92 million workers all over the world, strongly condemns the ban of the glass workers' strike under the pretext of 'threat to national security'.
The government of Turkey proves once more its anti-worker character, the postponement for 60 days of the strike, practically means that the workers of Şişecam, Turkey's biggest glassware company, have to submit to their employer's demands regarding the collective bargaining process that started on December 12, 2016.
TKP on May Day demonstration in Istanbul. Photo: haber.sol.org.trThe Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) celebrated the May 1st with massive participation of people who do not surrender. TKP hold mass rallies in the big cities of Turkey, including, Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Adana. Tens of thousands of people marched with TKP.
Before May Day, the TKP issued the following statement:
May 1st of 2017 should be celebrated with massive participation of our people who do not submit. Our working class, our hope for the future, should prove its strength. For that, we call all the working men and women, all the educated and youth to march with TKP. TKP will take place with its own rally ranks at the meetings to be held in İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Adana. We announce our participation to those meetings to be held by the initiative of DİSK, KESK, TMMOB and TTB.
For the 23rd April Grup Yorum planned its traditionally concert with the title »independent Turkey« in Istanbul/Yenikapi. In the past years the concerts were over and over banned and also Germany has more and more joined the AKP politics by refusing visas for the band, which has also organized peaceful concerts with up to ten thousands fans for decades in Europe.
Grup Yorum could count up to a million visitors at its concerts for an »independent Turkey« in Istanbul. Despite of preventions by the governemnt in the past years, it was still able to organize concerts with hundred thousands, or in worst case spontanous concerts with its fans in several neighborhoods and streets of Istanbul. We translated the latest statement of Grup Yorum, concerning the ban of the concert.
We publish a statement issued today by the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) on the referendum results:
The referandum results, which are designated with tyranny, cheating and stealing, do not have any legitimacy. Those who attempt to celebrate this result mock the people.
We call our people, who do not submit, to unite, to act organized and not to accept 'fait accomplis'.

Today I am introducing a new weekly column My Lifestyle Must-Haves & Favorites, which gives you a peek into my everyday life on things I love + do the most.
This week its all about my bathroom essentials, I am a minimalist and when it comes to the necessities of a bathroom I don't use much, I don't even own a hairbrush, so now you are probably wondering What Do I even know about the essentials. Well I am not a woman of many products + my list may not be anything new but here are a few of my favorite things that my bathroom is never without.
1. Crisp clean white linens make every bathroom feel luxurious
2. Every bathroom needs soap + I can't seem to get enough of the Aesop Hand Soap. The scent Mandarin Rind, Rosemary Leaf, Cedar Atlas is so relaxing + not overpowering.
3. My one regime that is a must is taking care of my skin. Chanel Hydra Beauty Gel Face Cream, Le Lift Eye Cream + toner are the only products you find in my cabinet, living in Colorado's dry climate I can't express enough how important it is to keep my face moisturized.
4. Like I said I am a minimalist so marble container is the perfect thing to fit all my daily essentials like mascara, eye lash curler, make-up brush + lotion. + what I like the most is that it looks good left out on the counter for easy access to your items.
5. My Diptyque Paris Baies Scent Oval is just the perfect amount of scent to keep my bathroom filled with sublime.
That's all folks stay tuned next week , xo jamie

Tracheal Mite
The parasitic mite Acarapis woodi causes Acarine disease in honeybees by infesting the breathing tubes (tracheae) of the adult bee, piercing the trachea wall and feeding on the bee haemolymph.
Tracheal mites are invisible to the naked eye - they measure only 125 and 174 microns - and can therefore be seen only with a microscope. They are oval in shape and translucent-white in colour.[Fig 1]
Adult bees can be seen crawling on the ground or on grass in front of hives of heavily infested colonies. But this evidence may suggest more than a tracheal mite infestation - it may indicate the presence of other diseases.
To check for infection: adult bees are decapitated and the prothoracic collar removed with a scalpel. The thoracic tracheae can then be inspected. When stained, infested honeybee tracheae will show up as brown or black scabs or may be entirely black depending on the infestation level.[Fig 2]
Selective bee breeding is the first measure that beekeepers should employ to counteract tracheal mites. Buckfast bees, for example, are known to be highly resistant to this mite, while New Zealand strains are very susceptible.
Menthol crystals have been used with considerable success in North America although relatively high temperatures are required and the effects are variable.
Apiguard has been shown to work well in several countries in controlling tracheal mite numbers.

Benjamin T. Burchett, Esq.
He's the man
Mr. Burchett shot me straight from the get go. He listened to me, took a lot of time to explain things to me, and seemed to care about my case from the moment I walked through the door. He wasn't the kind of guy who seems like he's only out for the money. He actually told me to consult with another lawyer if I wanted to so I could get another perspective on my case. He got me a good result. I will use him again.
- Anonomous
Ben Burchett Truly Cares
Ben Burchett is a fine man. When he represented our son recently, we found him to be caring and empathetic. He treats his clients with dignity and compassion. When one finds oneself in the criminal justice system it is easy to become discouraged, distraught and/or angry. At such a time, it is good to have a lawyer who not only works hard but who also respects the dignity of all persons.
Just perfect
I have a lot to say about Mr Burchett but one thing that made him the best of all was how he told me everything was going to be alright before i even told him my case…he was like a big brother nd was there every step of the way. He was just there, kept me informed was making sure i was alright nd his talk was just comforting. All the staffs are called by God to work there and i will recommend him a zillion times……they are all just perfect!!
- Mary
Mr. Burchett is wonderful
Mr. Burchett was my son's attorney for what seemed an impossible situation. He handled my son's case with true professionalism and honesty. He worked hard and fought hard for my son and I'm thankful that he won this case for us. He and Patrice were always available to speak with us and answer any questions. I believe Mr. Burchett has his clients best interests at heart. He has an incredible assistant, Patrice, who is friendly, caring and makes your phone call as important to her as it is to you.
I'm thankful for Mr. Burchett and would and have recommended him to others.

Ashley E. Mroczek, Esq.
She got me my kids
She got me my kids. She said she would and she delivered. I thought it would be hard for me bc I'm a man but she did it. Thank u
- John
Aggressive yet compassionate & helpful
Ms. Mroczek helped me with my divorce & custody issues. I felt like she really cared about me and had my children's best interests at heart. She was well prepared and aggressive in the courtroom with my ex. I feel confident recommending her.
- Shelly
Kind Compassionate Tough
Ms. Mroczek represented me in a divorce and custody case. From the beginning I knew she was the right fit. Even just in the consultation I felt like she really listened and really wanted to help me. I went into the consultation feeling like my husband had the upper hand and that I was going to get screwed in court but when I left I felt empowered. She explained to me why in all actuality I had the upper hand and my ex was just bullying me (again). She helped me figure out what was important to me and she helped settle issues that could be settled. When it came to court though she did a great job. I felt like she was really fighting for me and I felt like I knew what was going on. She does a really good job of explaining everything and was really upfront with cost. I have told all my friends about her in case they have to go through anything similar. Divorce sucks but having a good lawyer helps.
- Kate
Ashely did a fabulous job with my divorce and custody of my boys. Any questions I had, she responded quickly and was knowledgeable. She was honest even if it didn't work for me and I could appreciate that. I would absolutely recommend Ashley.
- Anonymous
Ashley's Awesome!
She did an amazing job and i'm so glad i chose her to represent me! She's very easy to talk to and explained everything to me thoroughly… She really has a way of making you feel more comfortable. I was so nervous and just having her there with me made all the difference. She went in for the win and that's exactly what we got!

Mrs. Mroczek is an awesome Lawyer
I have been a client of Mrs. Mroczek's for a couple of years now and she has helped me tremendously over the past several years. I have had to go back to court on several occasions with my ex-husband over lots of things such as summer vacation, child support, visitation, clothing issues for my children. We lost once on the summer vacation issue, mostly because Mrs. Mroczek was new into the lawyer seen and did not understand who she was dealing with (my ex). I expressed my concern with her and told her we will be better prepared next time we go into court. Well we have not lost another case since. She has taken each case and reviewed all the documents I have provided to her and she has fought with my ex-husband's lawyer who is much like my ex-husband. Our most recent case over child support, she did an excellent job of preparing for court and dealing with the issues of what my ex-husband wanted and of course things did not go exactly like I wanted but I still say it was a win because my ex-husband did not get what he wanted. She responds to emails in a timely manner and will return your calls in a timely manner. She does her homework and is not afraid to fight for you. She is very resourceful and is everything that I would expect from a great Lawyer.

She's does an outstanding job!
Ashley Mroczek was the first lawyer I have ever had to use, and now she will be the only one. She helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. She broke everything down for me and helped me understand. She always responded in a timely matter to my questions and concerns. She helped me win the custody I wanted for my child and be extremely happy with the results of all my court cases. I would recommend her to everyone!

List of diamonds
List of diamonds
A number of large or extraordinary diamonds have gained fame, both as exquisite examples of the beautiful nature of diamonds, and because of the famous people who wore, bought, and sold them. A partial list of famous diamonds in history follows.
- The Akbar Shah, an Indian diamond with a roughly pear-shaped outline and random faceting, including two Arabic inscriptions, the first reading "Shah Akbar, the Grand King, 1028 A.H." (the letters mean "After Hegira", the first year of the Muslim era, AD 622). The second inscription read "To the Lord of Two Worlds, 1039 A.H. Shah Jehan". The diamond was reportedly part of the original Peacock Throne. Purchased in 1886 in Istanbul by London merchant George Blogg, who re-cut it from 116 carats to a pear-shape of 71.70 carats, thus destroying the historic inscriptions. Blogg was the last known owner and the stone's whereabouts are presently unknown.

This a truly great post and may be one that should be followed up to see how things go

In Cirencester this morning, to have my hair done, I called into Crew Clothing to peruse their bargains. As I waited to pay, a woman came over to speak to the assistant, describing in great detail her son who had gone missing.
"He's wearing a red and green check poncho, a cap with earflaps turned up and jeans". She added that he was pretty vacant at times and had a habit of wandering off when she wasn't looking. Oh, and he was eighteen. If he came back to the shop, she asked, would they tell him she'd gone back to the car. I must admit, she sounded pretty exasperated but only after she'd gone did we all look round and say "mobile phone?"
I did what I had to do, pottering around bakers, butchers and card shop (whose idea was it to have a birthday in early January?) and finally, checking that there were supplies of sugar mice on hand for Christmas stockings. As I started back to the car, I found myself walking alongside a young man fitting the description his mother had shared in Crew Clothing at least an hour earlier.
"Excuse me, but did you come out shopping with your mother this morning?" I asked. "If so, she's gone back to the car".
"Oh, thanks!" he said, with a grin.
I hoped she'd been able to have a nap, listen to something good on the radio or even gone home without him

On Saturday night with my former piano teacher P to see the Australia Ensemble.
The program was:
+ Peter WARLOCK (1894-1930): The Curlew for tenor voice, flute, cor anglais and string quartet (1922) – words by Yeats
+ Elliott CARTER (b 1908): Con leggerezza pensosa – Omaggio a Italo Calvino (With thoughtful levity – Homage to Italo Calvino) for clarinet, violin and cello (1991) – 100th anniversary of the composer's birth
+ Elliott CARTER (b 1908): Canon for 4, Homage to William [Glock] for flute, bass clarinet, violin and cello (1984) – 100th anniversary of the composer's birth
+ Leoš JANÁČEK (1854-1928): String Quartet No 1 (The Kreutzer Sonata) – after Tolstoy (1923)
Maurice RAVEL (1875-1937): Piano Trio in A minor (1914)
The first half (marked +) was billed as "Homage to authors," though William Glock was stretching it a bit for this category.
The bookends to that half, the Warlock and the Janáček, made a sombre pair. The Warlock (1922) inhabits a rather bleak pastoral world – it's hard to describe – something which perhaps could be a GPO Films Unit documentary a few years later. Henry Choo – a singer I admire (seen last year as Almaviva, amongst other roles) – sang these well and with terrific composure – broken only by one high and loud note which came from nowhere near the end.
Warlock, incidentally, must be one of the most fictionalised ever composers in English literature. To quote Wikipedia (but a warning: you need to go there for any of these links to work):
An intriguing figure, Warlock has served to inspire several characters in English-language literature, among them: Coleman in Aldous Huxley's Antic Hay (1923), Roy Hartle in Osbert Sitwell's Those Were the Days (1938), Giles Revelstoke in Robertson Davies' A Mixture of Frailties (1958) and Maclintick in Casanova's Chinese Restaurant (1960) by Anthony Powell. D. H. Lawrence's use of Warlock as the model for Julius Halliday in novel Women in Love (1920) led to a threat of a lawsuit, followed by an out of court settlement.
I was amused to read in the program notes that at a rehearsal prior to the premiere, Janáček urged the quartet to play faster in order to struggle against the subjugation of women. Janáček had an unhappy marriage. It's not clear what if anything he did to struggle against the subjugation of his own wife: most of his struggle in this area seems to have been against the subjugation of other men's women.
The audience was smaller than usual and I am not quite sure why. Of course, it may have been the suddenly cold weather. Perhaps this is the time of year when retired academics fly to Europe to preempt summer, now that they are not confined by the semester break. Perhaps people don't like sombre. Quite possibly they took fright at two pieces by Elliott Carter, though the audience is usually quite receptive to modern works. All the same, I have to confess that my own reaction when those two pieces came to an end involved a reflexive sense of relief – I found myself thinking "Well, they weren't so bad at all."
For the Ravel piano trio in the second half we had a Steinway, as the Ensemble's Stuart & Sons piano is away for reconditioning. This made for a possibly more beautiful sound at the beginning, but a blurrier wall of sound at the big finish, which was less favourable for the violin and cello to be heard through.
The Ravel trio is one of the earliest piano trios with which I became familiar. The first movement is my favourite, followed by the second and then the third. The final movement includes some rhythmic reminiscence of the first, but for me doesn't quite live up to it. I could just as easily have heard the entire first movement again instead – especially since first time round about a sixth of it was accompanied by a noisy husband and wife sweet-unwrapping team towards the end of my row. I know they were trying to do it quietly, but that just made them take longer. If only they had just ripped into it, like tearing an adhesive bandage off hairy skin. Otherwise, why can people not muffle the unwrapping crackles underneath a jumper or scarf, or even in a pocket?
Enough grumbling about that.
The other big news is that on Saturday I finally committed to buying a new bicycle, which I expect to pick up on Sunday. The bike I chose (I first looked at it a few weeks ago) cost rather more than the amount which D considered proper for me to spend. In the car on the way home from the shop, D rehearsed an amazingly comprehensive catalogue of what he considered to be expensive and ill-considered purchases where I had ignored his advice or acted without it. I expect I shall be hearing some more of this for a while, and of course, the bike will now be added to the series.
The ushers at the Australia Ensemble concert are recruited from musically inclined students at UNSW. I recognized one as a salesman at Inner City Cycles in Glebe who a few weeks ago almost succeeded in selling me a perfectly acceptable (including acceptable to D on the price front) bike – except that by the time I had made up my mind and returned they no longer had my size. In the circumstances, I didn't think it was necessary to remind him where we had met, or mention that I had now made my purchase elsewhere.

In this video we're talking about 4 new marketing experiments we're doing to grow our brand and exposure for our business.
To be honest, we've been feeling a little stuck lately.
We had been feeling like we had just been doing more of the same-old, same old: more webinars, more blog posts, more of the same. And doing the same thing over and over brings the same results (great results in our case - our business is killing it. But the "same" month after month). We are ready to do another big push and take it to the next level again.
We also hit a plateau in the number of new subscribers and readers we were adding every month. Again, we were still adding thousands of subscribers - but it was the same "rate of growth" as the month before.
So it's time for a change. Time to take new risks and do some experiments.
Our goal is to honestly just connect better with our audience (Experiment #1 and #4 are all about this one goal), and then grow that audience far beyond what it is now. We have a message that more people need to hear, and we're doing everything we can to get it out there.Read More

Public relations has always been an interesting component of the B2B marketing mix. It's not like advertising because you don't pay for placement or performance. And it's not like direct mail because you can't directly track results. What you have is a marketing method that can't guarantee placement and doesn't produce measureable results. Marvelous!
That all changes on the Internet, however. Not the bit about guaranteeing placement; you still have to influence other media to take up your story. But public relations activities on the Web can be tracked, and you can measure direct results—the number of leads that are generated from a given PR effort.
In addition, there's a lot more you can do online with your public relations ...

So we have Sethji-head of the absp, a crucial coalition partner in the government, a toad of a man who scratches his groin whenever he's thinking hard, and has "warts, moles, discoloured patches, infected hair roots, summer boils and a pink stain on his groin that is steadily growing". Then there's his luscious toad-kissing daughter-in-law Amrita, who is "so hungry for power that she would gladly change her FIL's soiled adult diapers to achieve it". In this surreal, parallel De-scape, whenever Sethji gets it on with Amrita (which is often), she finds herself, inexplicably, sexually aroused. Maybe this is because Amrita has a wimpy husband dealing with borderline impotence? She also has a bed-wetting nut job of a brother-in-law whom she finds attractive, except for the fact that, when the book begins, he has just brutally raped a 'pahadi' girl and become a major embarrassment to his politician father, who is facing some kind of crisis in the party (it's never clearly explained what the crisis is) while also trying to get a big highways contract allocated to his industrialist pals.
Amrita is put in charge of putting everything right, which she proceeds to do, with the help of a fixer with a fixation for pretty servant boys and a Bollywood producer-cum-slick lawyer ex-lover called MK. The baddies (as in enemies of Sethji) are Mumbai based, and led by an ailing, religious old man who wears saffron, calls bandhs, and has two loser sons. Any resemblance to people living or dead is entirely coincidental.
De works hard at making Sethji slimy (even citing Sitaram Kesri as her inspiration, who, God rest his soul, had a face only a mother could love). And the book's biggest achievement is that, at the end, you can't help applauding the old man when he comes up tops. As for Amrita, who, as the book ends, "is planning to make Delhi nestle in the palm of her hand", she may well feature in a book of her own soon-titled Bhabhiji, perhaps.

We could all use another convention, right? Maybe you didn't have a whole weekend to spend in New York City for one of the two largest shows in the world! Or maybe you had an awesome time at the Boston Comic Con and, like many, feel they deserve more convention-ing this year because, obviously! This weekend, travel south for the biggest show in the smallest state, Rhode Island Comic Con on Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3. Here is what we are looking forward to this weekend.
Last November, the day my MacBook (white, 2007, RIP) literally up and died after Q from Star Trek touched it (a connection) we took in our first Rhode Island Comic Con. We met Xander, had an intimate panel experience with Thor mastermind Walter Simonson hosted by Forces of Geek'sStefan Blitz, and delighted in the autumnal vibes of Downtown Providence over a deep dish pizza. This Saturday I aim to recreate those good vibes and see what RICC 2013 has to offer.
Like many conventions these days, the celebrity appearances often trump any comic news or artists appearing at the convention.
This convention is no exception. Last year we had the Batmobile from Batman '66, this year, Batman himself Adam West (and Family Guy mayor of Quohog, RI) with faithful sidekick Robin Burt Ward are scheduled to appear. That's not all, Bat-fans! Rounding out an almost unprecedented reunion of sorts is Catwoman Julie Newmar, who will knock you out with her cat-claws. Now that DC Comics is publishing a Batman '66 series, I'm sure these stars will be signing a lot of comics with their likenesses this weekend–perhaps for the first time! Saturday, Stefan hosts a Bat-panel from 3pm-4:30pm in Room A.

Nonlinear Effects in Graphene Membranes Show promise for New Telecommunication Technology
Next-generation ICT can now be developed using the nonlinear effects present in graphene membranes.
Similar to drums in usual drumsets, nanoscale graphene membranes have a unique set of oscillating modes that relate to particular oscillation frequencies. An external voltage can be applied to excite these oscillating modes.
Researchers have demonstrated that a circular graphene membrane can be played like a drumset if a suitable external force is applied. The research, undertaken by researchers from Cornell University and the University of Jyväskylä, has been reported in the Nature Nanotechnology journal. The work was funded by the Academy of Finland.
The main idea of this research revolves around the fact that when the system is excited at a specific frequency (by playing a certain note) the behavior of the graphene membrane can be controlled at a different frequency. This in turn suppresses or increases the vibrations based on definite excitation conditions.
In principle, the researchers were able to attain the results when they applied the graphene membrane with an external constant and used it like a 'tuning peg'. This enabled the team to regulate the tension of the membrane and alter the coupling that was required to regulate a single oscillation mode by stimulating the other. The unique mechanical properties of graphene, particularly its stiffness, made it possible to establish coupling between different modes.
This latest research shows promise for the use of graphene mechanical resonators in the field of telecommunication, for example, as frequency mixers. Additionally, these resonators, when cooled down to temperatures near absolute zero, could play a significant role in detecting even the mildest quantum signals as well as in the domain of advanced telecommunication technologies, where counterintuitive properties arising at quantum the scale can pave the way for inherently secure data exchange.
Pictorial view of the system: the graphene membrane (white) oscillates at three different frequencies. By exciting the central frequency mode (green) it is possible to transfer energy from the fundamental mode (blue) to the highest frequency mode (red), hence effectively cooling the former. Conversely, driving the highest mode (red) will lead to a transfer of energy to the central and fundamental mode (green and blue respectively), resulting in the amplification of the latter.

How do B2B brands get broken? (Chapter 1: Inattention)
A three-part series about B2B brand management – highlighting the symptoms, causes and cures for a broken brand.
Like the proverbial frog in boiling water, companies generally don't jump into a brand that is confusing, misaligned, antiquated or irrelevant. But left unchecked, the steady trickle of strategic shifts, shiny new technologies, sub-brands, extensions, acquisitions, special cases and other everyday adaptations can conspire to turn the corporate brand into as much a hurdle as an asset.
So what does it mean when a brand is broken?
In bottom line terms: declining sales; ceding market position to competitors (even some with clearly inferior offerings); doubt in the minds of partners and customers; fewer inbound inquiries AND a lower hit rate when the phone does ring; it can lead to challenges in recruiting; it can foster silos and a disruptive culture; and a range of other symptoms. Safe to say, a broken brand is not conducive to a company's health and long-term growth.
For all the symptoms of a broken brand, the factors that create these issues can be grouped into three categories: Inattention, Evolution and Age. This article will focus on Inattention. The next two categories will each be discussed in future posts.
Chapter 1: Inattention: The easiest way to lose control of your brand and how to get the control back.
Like anything else, brands suffer with inattention. And, as a brand withers, it sparks a cycle of activity that can hasten further deterioration.
If the corporate brand becomes less relevant, internal teams look to invest in new names or sub-brands at the expense of the corporate brand; or they may leverage partner or ingredient brands in lieu of their own. Or there may simply be a variety of day-to-day communication needs across sales and marketing that an under-resourced brand just doesn't have the tools to address - so a little cutting, a little pasting, a little resourcefulness and a little modification all team to fill the void, and before long you've got something of a brand diaspora.
Symptoms of Inattention
• Sub-brand proliferation. For B2B companies – especially those with limited marketing budgets – fewer brands (or even one master brand) drive efficiency in communication and in relationship building or cross-selling. It is simply less practical and efficient for every new product or technology or application to its own name or brand.
• Brand dissonance, visually and/or verbally. This can manifest in: multiple formats and styles on PowerPoint slides; sales collateral from different parts of the company looking and sounding very different; internal solution teams looking and sounding like two (or more) separate companies.
• Misalignment across sales and marketing messages. At the extreme, marketing is touting the bleeding edge while sales is highlighting applications built on Windows 95.
Causes of Inattention
• The vicious cycle of a weak corporate brand fosters need to excessively "brand" or promote various products, services, solutions, features etc. - further diffusing and weakening the promise of the corporate brand, thus reinforcing the need for all these other branded elements.
• The message and story is controlled by partner brand or ingredient brand.
• Short-term objectives incentivize competitive "arms race" around pricing or incremental feature-enhancements at the expense of bigger, more sustainable points of differentiation
• Inefficient brand management resources drive internal teams to customize brand assets to their own needs
• Tools and templates. The blocking and tackling of brand management, standardized communication tools that leverage common visual and verbal language while allowing for necessary flexibility across teams.
• Prune the brand portfolio. Use brand equity research to help simplify the portfolio to better address the needs of your customers. (Brand architecture)
• Decision tools. Model different scenarios to guide decision making around naming, sub-branding and co-branding.
• Establish protocols. Create guidance and processes to govern naming, sub-branding.
• Measure perceptions of the brand – both internally and externally.
• Actively manage the brand. In other words, grow internal understanding for the importance of a strong brand – and give someone the responsibility, authority and support to accomplish the "Cures" on this list.
Next up, Chapter 2: Evolution, how a shifting business strategy can break your brand – and how to fix it.

We've all heard them, right? The crazy ideas that sound either so silly, or so illogical that we're left wondering why anyone said them out loud in the first place. It's what we call a stupid idea. At least that may be what we say in our head. Rarely do we call them stupid ideas out loud.
But we know they're stupid. Because we know better. We've been around long enough to be able to distinguish good ideas from bad ones.
That's the logic, we think, behind our judgement.
But then someone, somewhere, executes on a completely ridiculous idea that has no business working, and it does.
It's an anomaly. It's a rare situation. It's unprecedented.
But nevertheless, sometimes stupid ideas work.
And that's when we need to ask ourselves – is there really such a thing as a stupid idea?
There are ideas that work. And there are ideas that don't work.
But if a stupid idea works, can we really call it stupid? Or should we simply put it in the "ideas that work" category?
I write these posts for me as much as for you. I categorize ideas as stupid all the time (many of them my own). And when I do, I rarely test them out. I protect myself from failure but in so doing, I am also limiting my opportunities to see some of these ideas work.
How are you treating "stupid" ideas?
I hope, unlike me, you refrain from putting any ideas in the stupid bucket. I hope you simply classify them as ideas that work, ones that don't work, and ones you have yet to try.
And then I hope you try the ones you haven't yet, and double down on the ones that work.

Connecting with SSH
All NERSC computers (except HPSS) are reached using either the Secure Shell (SSH) communication and encryption protocol (version 2) or by Grid tools that use trusted certificates.
HPSS can be accessed securely with ftp or hsi, via the use of encrypted tokens. Please see the HPSS pages for a description of this procedure.
Secure Shell (SSH)
SSH (Secure Shell) is an encryted network protocol used to log into computers over an unsecured network. On UNIX/LINUX/BSD type sytems, SSH is also the name of a suite of software applications for connecting via the SSH protocol. The SSH applications can execute commands on a remote machine and transfer files from one machine to another. All communications are automatically and transparently encrypted, including passwords. Most versions of SSH provide login (ssh, slogin) a remote copy operation (scp), and many also provide a secure ftp client (sftp). Additionally, SSH allows secure X Window connections.
SSH Example
Run ssh on your local workstation, specifying the remote destination machine as follows:
myhost% ssh email@example.com
Password + OTP: enter NIM password for user elvis, immediately followed by the 6-digit one-time password
... (message truncated for this purpose)
In the above, a NERSC user named "elvis" connects via a workstation named "myhost" to the system named "cori".
Passwordless logins and file transfers via sshproxy
You can use SSH to set up a convenient environment for connecting and copying files remotely without being prompted for a password each time. We give the basic outline for setting this up below; if you need further help please contact your system administrator.
NERSC no longer allows public/private key pairs, but the sshproxy tool can allow a user to generate a key that is valid for 24 hours. Once you have obtained a key, you can use it to ssh to NERSC systems (e.g., Cori, Denovo, Genepool, PDSF, DTN, ...) without further authentication until the key expires.
The sshproxy service uses a RESTful API for requesting keys. NERSC provides a bash client script that you can use from the command line on a Unix-like computer. A python script will be also available. A Windows client that supports PuTTY will be available soon.
Installing the Client
On Unix-like machines (macOS included), you can download the bash client sshproxy.sh from a project directory:
$ scp firstname.lastname@example.com:/project/projectdirs/mfa/NERSC-MFA/sshproxy.sh .
where myusername is your NERSC login ID.
Using sshproxy
The sshproxy client, without any arguments, will use your local username, and obtain an ssh key with the default lifetime (24 hours). The private and public key will have the names 'nersc' and 'nersc-cert.pub," and will be stored in your ~/.ssh directory.
Run the sshproxy.sh script from where you installed it. For example, if the script is in your current directory, type:
$ ./sshproxy.sh
The script will prompt you to enter your password and OTP, in the same manner as you would do to ssh to a NERSC system with MFA:
Enter your password+OTP:
Enter your NIM password immediately followed by OTP as a single string, as before. Upon successfully authenticating, the client will install an ssh key and display a message showing the path to the key pair installed on your local computer and the expiration date and time for the keys. By default, the name of the files will be ~/.ssh/nersc and ~/.ssh/nersc-cert.pub (you can change the name with a command-line argument).
$ ./sshproxy.sh
Enter your password+OTP:
Successfully obtained ssh key /Users/wyang/.ssh/nersc
Key /Users/wyang/.ssh/nersc is valid: from 2018-08-30T12:24:00 to 2018-08-31T12:25:52
You will see three ssh key files (private and public keys, and a certificate containing the corresponding public key) installed in the ~/.ssh directory on your computer:
$ ls -l ~/.ssh/nersc*
-rw------- 1 wyang wyang 3179 Aug 30 12:25 /Users/wyang/.ssh/nersc
-rw------- 1 wyang wyang 1501 Aug 30 12:25 /Users/wyang/.ssh/nersc-cert.pub
-rw------- 1 wyang wyang 1501 Aug 30 12:25 /Users/wyang/.ssh/nersc.pub
The above example shows that an ssh key pair has been created on your local machine. With these keys, you can ssh to NERSC machines without further authentication until these keys expire.
Checking Certificate Expiration
You can check the expiration date and time of an existing ssh key pair. If the ssh key certificate file is ~/.ssh/nersc-cert.pub, run the following command on your local computer:
$ ssh-keygen -L -f ~/.ssh/nersc-cert.pub | grep Valid
Valid: from 2018-08-30T12:24:00 to 2018-08-31T12:25:52
Please note that the times printed are local time (your time), not NERSC time (Pacific Time).
Using sshproxy Keys
You can use the keys you get from the sshproxy to login to NERSC systems by specifying the key file on the command line. For example, to login to cori.nersc.gov with a key named 'nersc':
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/nersc cori.nersc.gov
This will allow you to login without having to authenticate again.
sshproxy Command-line Options
sshproxy.sh has several command-line options to override its default behavior. You can run 'sshproxy.sh -h' to get a help message.
$ ./sshproxy.sh -h
Usage: sshproxy.sh [-u <user>] [-s <scope>] [-o <filename>] [-U <server URL>]
-u <user> Specify remote username (default: <your_login_name>)
-o <filename> Specify pathname for private key (default: /Users/<your_login_name>/.ssh/nersc)
-s <scope> Specify scope (default: 'default')
-a Add key to ssh-agent (with expiration)
-U <URL> Specify alternate URL for sshproxy server (generally only used for testing purposes)
If your NERSC username is not the same as your local username, you can specify your NERSC username with the '-u' option:
$ ./sshproxy.sh -u myusername
If you would like to have a different name for the ssh key file, you can use the -o option to specify the output filename:
$ ./sshproxy.sh -o mynersc
Note the -a option can be used to automatically add the new key to your ssh-agent. It will also be set with an expiration that matches the keys expiration so that ssh does not try to use the key after it has expired.
If your computer has an old version of ssh (e.g., OpenSSH_7.2), you may have to use the -a flag. Otherwise, ssh and scp commands will require additional flags to work as in the example cases shown below. To see the version info, run the command, 'ssh -V'.
Long-term SSH Keys
The scope option (-s flag) is to accommodate special needs for your work. If automatic workflow needs keys for a long term, you can make a request in a ticket. Click here to submit a request. We will grant such a request only after a review. When your request is approved, we will provide information on how to set the scope.
SSH Configuration File Options
We recommend some options to put in your ssh config file. These options help avoid some potential problems with expiring ssh keys, and provide default key filenames to ssh so that you don't have to specify the key on the command line every time you use ssh. These options can all be overridden on the command-line at any time.
If you typically use only the default 'nersc' key from sshproxy, you can modify your ssh config file to automatically use that key, instead of having to specify it on the command line every time. To do so, edit the file ~/.ssh/config on your local computer to include the following lines:
Host cori*.nersc.gov denovo.nersc.gov gpint*.nersc.gov gpweb*.nersc.gov genepool.nersc.gov pdsf.nersc.gov dtn*.nersc.gov
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/nersc
With that entry, whenever you ssh to one of those NERSC systems, your ssh client will automatically use your proxy key.
If your ssh client does not present a valid ssh key to the ssh server, the server will prompt you to authenticate with NIM password + OTP. Neither the server nor the client will tell you that your key has expired.
Logging in with sshproxy Keys
Once you have generated a valid key, you do not need to provide any further authentication to get into NERSC resources. You can simply connect in the usual ways without providing a password:
$ ssh email@example.com
$ scp myfile firstname.lastname@example.com:.
Secure Connections from Macs and PCs Using SSH
You will need an SSH-capable application in order to login to NERSC computers. A number of applications are available, both freeware and commercial products. Your local workplace, school, or organization may have a site license for an SSH software package.
Troubleshooting SSH Problems
Some common error messages are:
- "Access Denied" or "Permission Denied" -This is likely a username or password problem. Make sure you are using the proper NERSC user name. You may also have too many login failures or may have been disabled due to extended inactivity. To clear your login failures, simply login to NIM. If you are still unable to login, contact the Account Support Office at 1-800-66-NERSC, menu option 2.
The authenticity of host 'cori.nersc.gov' can't be established.You may get this message the first time you connect to a new machine. Note that many NERSC systems have several distinct login nodes, so you might see the above message for each login node. Just type "yes" to continue.
RSA key fingerprint is <omitted>
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
NERSC consultants will attempt to help you solve problems concerning access to NERSC machines. However, our consultants have expertise only on software installed by NERSC and running on NERSC computers. This does not include software running locally on users' computers.
The best source of information for configuring your local computer is your local system administrator. Local coworkers can often help. Our consultants are not always able to provide help for the myriad of different programs and platforms that could be used to connect to the Internet.

2 loving boys need new home asap, free - Phoenix, AZ
It may help if I give a little background - my first chin was an ebony named Pillow, who I rescued from an abusive home in 2003. I never knew his age. After a few months of having him, I bought a Black Velvet from a breeder in 2004 who was born In January but 6 months old when I got him. His name is Case. in 2010, Pillow passed away and I had him cremated. However, the year before, I adopted Kip who is a standard who was left alone outside a small family owned pet shop who had no idea how to take care of him and had put out a newspaper article. So I have Case, who I do know for a fact when he was born and Kip, who I do not know when he was born. Both are very loving and have grown very attached to each other after Pillow passed away years ago. Kip loves to ride on my shoulders. I hate to do this but my health has progressively gotten worse over the years and I'm spending a lot of time in the hospital. Ive had to leave against doctors orders several times because I didn't have a babysitter. They are FREE to a GOOD HOME. They come with the cage, treats and a 25 pound of Mazuri feed. It breaks my heart to give them up but I'd rather them go to a good home then them having nothing at all if I can't make it home one day.
Have you tried reaching AZChins? She might be able to take them in and find them a good home.
Chinchillas are not potato chips. You CAN have just one.
However, three is much more fun.
Proud mommy to Shelly, Buttonwillow, and Artemis.

Published at Friday, May 03rd, 2019 - 03:51:26 AM. Curtains. By Solange Raynaud.
The carriers normally contain a nylon axle, two free-rolling nylon wheels, a nylon swivel stern that is designed to be tangle-free and steel hooks that are chrome-plated. Nylon materials are used as curtain carriers since they would not easily break or rust and are highly durable. However, the curtain carrier glide could also be made with a nylon swivel, one-piece nylon spool, and steel hook of chrome plating. Another type of curtain carrier is the breakaway carrier, comprised of nylon wheels, hook, and body. The tracking for curtains would vary from one location to another to suit the type of construction of the room.
NB It is important that you get the sequence 100% correct before you make the marks and the holes, should you realize that you want to change the roses around after the holes have been made you run the risk of having gaping holes in your curtain which could look rather messy. The next step will be to measure the top width of the window frame and then cut the dowel or curtain wire in order to fit (using either a pliers if it is wire or a hand saw if you are cutting the dowel).

Another study confirms the utility of using an incentive spirometer (IS) and performing 'pulmonary toileting' prior to surgery. The study, re-posted below looks at the rate of post-operative pneumonia in cardiac surgery patients.
Patients were stratified into two groups; one group received pre-operative IS teaching several weeks before surgery and the other didn't. Results: a dramatic reduction in post-operative respiratory complications – confirming what we know (and taught our patients about).
If you don't have your incentive spirometer – take the deepest breath you can (inhale slowly.. over 2-3 seconds), hold for ten seconds, slowly exhale. Repeat ten times, then rest.. Do this several times a day – along with coughing exercises.. and WALK frequently.
Article Re-post:
Preop Deep-Breathing Exercises Cut Pneumonia Risk After Cardiac Surgery
By Anne Harding
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jun 03 – Using an incentive inspirometer for a few weeks before cardiac surgery can help high-risk patients avoid pneumonia, new research confirms.
"The idea of the inspiratory muscle training before surgery is that if you increase your inspiratory muscle function before surgery, you can do your deep breathing exercises after surgery better and therefore the pulmonary complications can decrease after surgery," researcher Karin Valkenet of the University Medical Centre Utrecht in the Netherlands told Reuters Health.
On Wednesday at the American College of Sports Medicine's annual meeting in Denver, she reported that cardiac surgery patients in her study who did not receive at least two weeks of preop inspiratory muscle training (IMT) were three times as likely to develop pneumonia.
Valkenet's study follows a 2006 paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association by another team from her center, which reported on 279 high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) In that study, 6.5% of the IMT group developed pneumonia, compared to 16.1% of controls. Overall, 18% of the IMT group had postoperative pulmonary complications, compared to 35% of controls.
In the new study, Valkenet and her colleagues enrolled patients with diabetes, productive coughing in the previous five days, or impaired pulmonary function. Ninety-four such high-risk patients were given incentive inspirometers, trained to use them, and told to practice for 20 minutes a day at home. Their starting load was 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure, which they increased based on their perceived exertion.
Another 252 high-risk patients served as controls.
One patient in the IMT group developed pneumonia, compared to eight patients in the control group. While the difference was not statistically significant given the low number of events, Valkenet and her colleagues were able to show a relative risk of 2.9 for the patients who didn't undergo the training, based on a propensity score analysis.
"The data confirms the randomized, controlled data that was published earlier so that's very good news for us," Valkenet said". [end of re-post]
Remember – this advice goes for all surgical patients – especially lung surgery patients, in addition to heart (cardiac surgery) patients.
Update: February 2012
Another reason to walk as if your life depends on it after surgery – it does!
The latest study on post-operative pneumonia after CABG confirms what we've always known – patients who develop pneumonia after cardiac surgery are much more likely to die than people who don't..
One of the things I often tell my patients is – heart surgery is actually pretty safe (most of the time) and people rarely die from surgery – but LOTS of people die from pneumonia.. So find that inner drive/ strength/ determination to get out of bed and WALK..

Budva or Vertical Mountain Road
Choose Budva If On Your Own
Choose Budva If On Your Own
Choosing the longer route, reluctantly. It is easy to take a junket from Dubrovnik, Croatia, to see this beautiful neighboring country. See map at www.jazztour.ru/images/montenegro/montenegro_map_new. Spend a night Cavtat, Croatia; then drive on around Bay of Kotor to Kotor itself.
You can see some of the old curtain walls going up the mountainside, additional defense. Also, note the palm trees in Kotor. Unexpected, but we understand the bowl formed by the mountains moderates the climate. Is that so?
Kotor, Montenegro, Mountains
Then look again at the surroundings, and the map to find Cetinje, the next stop.
We had two choices after Kotor:
a) the vertical snaking-looking road up through mountains to Cetinje, the old capital. Or,
b) the conservative and coastal road to old beachy Budva first, with the castle, then on more of a level road around to Cetinje.
There is a time for even the Car-Dan Tour Company to be Conservative. Reluctantly. Geography rules. So we went the long way, the scenic old Budva walled city way.
And, looking at the maps, no wonder the Montenegrins moved their capital down from Cetinje in the high karst mountains, to the levels at Podgorice, on the level road way to Cetinje.
Looks very industrial, lots of smokestacks. Accessible. But the new capital over there can have none of the patina, the faded grande dame mystique of Cetinje.
Just business. Next trip, maybe, up we go, over the top, very slowly.
