20th Anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer [1]
Submitted by Chris on
The story of a teenage girl destined to repeatedly save the world from monsters, witches, demons, and (obviously) vampires is celebrating its twenty-year anniversary today.
Created by Joss Whedon (who later wrote and directed the Avengers movies) Buffy the Vampire Slayer used monsters as metaphors for real life issues facing kids growing up in America. He mixed genres to create a show that was by turns, scary, hilarious, and heartbreaking, often all within the same episode. He created characters that defied expectations and stereotypes. He invented a formula that is still influencing television twenty years later. And according to an article at io9.com [2], he turned the word Google into a verb.
All seven seasons of Buffy are available on DVD at Eisenhower and they're all worth your time.
Season One [3] | Season Two [4] | Season Three [5] | Season Four [6] | Season Five [7] | Season Six [8] | Season Seven [9]

After traveling to Paris a few times, I've decided to give you some tips to navigate the city!
- Paris is divided into twenty arrondissements. Every arrondissement, or district, is a little different and has its own feel to it. Fun fact: The number of the arrondissement is indicated by the last two digits in most Parisian postal codes. I have stayed in the 6th arr, Luxembourg/Saint Germain area on the left bank of the River Seine twice and I think it is the best location! There are so many art galleries, cafes and restaurants, educational institutes, and fashion boutiques in this neighborhood.
- Take the RER Train from Charles de Gaulle airport into the city. Taking the train to the heart of the city saves time and money! Follow signs for the RER train from the airport – you may have to switch terminals depending on what terminal you land at, but there are directions to follow inside the airport and a tram will take you. We took the train about 40 minutes to Saint Michel Notre Dame and walked less than 10 minutes to our hotel. The train also stops at a main train station called Gare Nord- and you can transfer at Saint Michel Notre Dame to get to your final destination! The train tickets were 10 euro each which is much cheaper than taking a taxi. You need your ticket when you leave the train station as well, so keep it on hand!
- Walking is the best way to get around. Other than getting to the city from the airport, we rarely took the metro in Paris – just because walking is so easy. There are helpful signs and maps located near metro stops, and the best way to see any city is to walk! You may stumble across a cute street, cafe, or neighborhood that you wouldn't have found if you took a cab or metro.
- Most people speak English. Don't worry about perfecting your French before visiting, most people speak English. It is nice to learn some helpful words to be polite, but once you speak them most will respond back to you in English (at least that's what happened to me!).
- Bonjour – hello/good day
- Au revoir – goodbye
- Bonsoir – good evening/good night
- Merci – thank you
- Du rein – you're welcome
- Madame – woman/ma'am
- Monsieur- man/Mr./sir
- Je ne parle pas français – I do not speak French
- All museums are free on the first Sunday of each month. Finding this out before my trip was a great tip! We ended up going into the Louvre on Sunday while we were there and saved some euros on tickets. The museum was mobbed but I'm happy we were able to squeeze in and see the famous Mona Lisa (she's not as big as you think).
- Boat cruise. Take a boat cruise, no matter what time of day! We took one at 5:00PM as the sun was setting, which was so beautiful. The cruise takes about an hour and tells you about the main sights along the River Seine. Here is a link to one cruise you can take, but viator.com and trip advisor have different deals to choose from.
- See all the main sights! Last but certainly not least, see all of the main sights. There are SO many in Paris.
- Eiffel Tower (go to the way top!)
- Museums: Musee d'Orsay, Musee Louvre, Musee Rodin
- Tuileries Garden
- Notre Dame
- Arc de Triomphe
- Champs -Élysées
- Pont Alexandre III
- Sacre Coeur

Hope these small tips help you in preparing your journey to the beautiful city of Paris. It will be one to remember!

Sviten Special: The Greatest Poker Game Ever
The title might seem sensational but I assure you this is the greatest poker variant I have ever played.
This is a game guaranteed to spice up that otherwise dull home game. In fact, this game is so awesome, so terrifically badass, so freakin amazing! I felt I had to write a blog and share it with all of you.
The game is called Sviten Special and it was invented by some Swedish guy named Anders Bengtsson.
Obviously this Bengtsson guy is a player with a sick need for constant degenerate action on every hand. Although I've never met the guy, I'm sure him and I would get along well.
I learned the game from a friend of his, Franke Boy. All I have to say is thank you.
How to Play Sviten Special Poker
Sviten Special is a split pot game, but not in the way you're thinking. The game is basically a mix of Pot-Limit Omaha and Five-Card Draw.
Half the pot goes to best draw hand, half the pot to the best Omaha hand.
The blinds and button all function the same as Omaha (or Hold'em). If you don't know what that means you should head to the rules section before you read on.
Each player is dealt five cards (all face down), and the first betting round ensues.
Just like Omaha, this game is typically played as a Pot-Limit game, since the action is already degenerate enough without allowing over-pot ships; I'd recommend you only play it as so.
After the completion of the first betting round a standard 3-card flop is dealt, (so far we're just playing 5-card Omaha).
Once that betting round is complete, each player must "lock in" the total number of cards they wish to exchange. Players are allowed to keep all cards (stand pat) or exchange up to all five (assuming you're playing with five or less players. With six or seven players you must limit the draw round to three cards per player). There is only one draw, so choose wisely.
Players announce the number of cards they would like to exchange (separating them from their hand so that they can't be changed after announcing) in the standard betting order. This means the button will always be the last player to lock in.
Once all players have locked in, the dealer deals new cards to all players just like in standard 5-card draw.
The Twist of the Sviten Special Draw
Just to make things more fun, there's a little twist to the draw portion of the hand. If you choose to exchange only one card, the dealer will turn over the top card of the deck, letting all players see that one card. You have the choice to take that card, or receive the next card in the deck face down.
Once all players have received their new cards the flop betting round begins. Once the betting round is over the turn is dealt. The game functions the same as Omaha from this point on, until the showdown.
At the showdown the player with the best Omaha hand (2 cards from their hand, 3 from the board) wins half the pot, and the player with the best draw hand (all five cards from their hand) wins the second half.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Sviten Special Notes:
- Take care in building side-pots. Splitting the pot with side pots is not difficult if you know what you're doing, but if you're new to split pots and side pots make sure to build the side pots before you go to the showdown, and deal with each pot in turn (starting with the smallest side pots). This will keep confusion to a minimum.
- Because of the discards there is a maximum number of players for this game. If you're allowing a full 5-card discard you can only play with 5 players max, for 6 or 7 you need to limit the discard to 3 cards.
- If you run out of cards in the stub, all mucked cards (excluding the board burn cards) are re-shuffled back into the deck. The deck is cut, and play continues as normal.
Basic Sviten Special Strategy
Just like any split-pot game, you're playing to dominate for half of the pot, with as decent a chance as possible to scoop for the whole thing. Because you get to see the flop first before you commit to a draw, you want to evaluate your hand at that point.
If you have the nuts, or a good chance at making the nuts in Omaha, you want to keep all cards needed for that, and drop the rest to try and improve on your draw hand.
If you miss the board entirely, chances are you want to fold, unless you have a very strong draw hand. Most players are playing for the Omaha pot first, the Draw hand second. If you have two-pair or better in the draw hand, you should often feel very confident about your standings.
Pay attention to how many cards each player exchanges. Although a player who drops 4 cards can pick up a monster, chances are they'll have nothing better than a pair. If a player draws just one card, they will be on a strong made hand (trips or two pair) or are drawing 1 to a flush or straight.
Since they get two chances at hitting by drawing one, a player dropping just one card is a very dangerous player to pit your draw hand against.
There you have it, Sviten Special - the best poker game ever invented. Print this page out and bring it to your next home game, just be sure to bring along a handful of re-buys: the action is furious.

Mixing Drinks
Laws on which alcoholic drinks can be sold in grocery stores vary by state.
Beer and wine
Beer only
No alcohol
Beer, wine and spirits
Note: Local laws and other requirements may restrict sales of certain alcoholic beverages.
Source: National Alcohol Beverage Control Association
Spirits companies have fought for decades to convince consumers and regulators that liquor should be treated the same as beer and wine. Now they're taking on the U.S. military.
The Defense Department this summer began allowing military commissaries—the equivalent of grocery stores on bases—to sell beer and wine for the first time but not vodka, whiskey and other types of liquor. The ruling sparked an outcry among spirits makers who have since lobbied lawmakers to ensure their products can be sold in commissaries, too.
At stake isn't so much revenue but reputation.
Military bases account for a small slice of liquor sales and spirits are available on bases at exchanges, akin to department stores. But liquor makers bristle at what they see as the stigma tied to being excluded.
"If your product is discriminated against, that sends a very negative image," said Frank Coleman, a senior vice president at the Distilled Spirits Council, a trade body that counts Johnnie Walker owner Diageo PLC and Absolut owner Pernod Ricard SA among its ranks.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee asked the defense secretary for a study on adding liquor to commissary shelves. The findings are due this month.
The Pentagon's ruling is seen as a setback for spirits makers, who have made progress in reducing liquor's association—going back to Prohibition—with inebriation and bad behavior. In recent years distillers have won the right to sell liquor on Sundays and offer in-store tastings in many states. Liquor also is increasingly available in grocery stores, helping the industry take market share from beer.
Spirits reached a 35% share of U.S. alcohol servings last year, up from 27.7% in 2000, according to the Beer Institute, the trade body for big brewers. Beer's share over this time dropped to 49.7% from 59.5%.
The Defense Department's reasons for banning liquor sales are multifold: It doesn't want to dislodge essentials like diapers and fresh vegetables from shelves; spirits aren't sold in all grocery stores; and the move is in line with its strategy to make alcohol less glamorous. A 2015 study from Western Washington University shows that military service appears to encourage young men to consume more alcohol.
The spirits trade body argues the decision was misguided because liquor is available in grocery stores across 28 states in some form and that if the government wants to deglamorize alcohol it also shouldn't allow sales of beer or wine.
The Beer Institute said the decision was justified because the alcohol content of cocktails varies, and is often much higher than in a standard drink.
Brewers have been particularly eager to defend their position at a time when spirits are attracting new drinkers, boosted by a return to TV advertising in the mid 1990s and the liquor industry's increased efforts to woo women.
Spirits makers have complained for years that beer gets preferential treatment stemming from its reputation as the alcoholic beverage of moderation, which they argue is undeserved.
After Prohibition ended in 1933, beer regained its legal status months before other alcoholic beverages. Alcohol-control measures in many states included stores designated specifically to sell distilled liquor and wine, often not selling food or cigarettes. Beer, however, was made more widely available at some grocery stores and small markets.
Today, vestiges of those times still hamper the spirits industry, liquor makers say. Big spirits companies have to pay higher taxes than beer or winemakers on alcohol sold. Grocery-store liquor sales are legal in far fewer states than beer.
"Unfortunately there was this perception that beer was soft alcohol and spirits was hard," said David Culver, chief lobbyist for Distilled Spirits Council. "Modern science tells us alcohol is alcohol. It's not what you drink, it's how much you drink."
Negative perceptions about spirits in particular still exist.
Earlier this month, the North American Interfraternity Conference, a trade body for male fraternities, voted to ban what it described as "hard alcohol" at chapter facilities and events, saying the move would make campuses safer and prevent alcohol abuse.
"While well-intentioned, implementing a policy that bans distilled spirits products while continuing to permit beer and wine is misguided and not supported by the science," Mr. Coleman said.
On military bases, alcohol can be bought through 122 exchanges and 500 convenience stores. A small handful of commissaries began selling beer and wine in July on a trial basis. The Defense Department plans to gradually roll out beer and wine sales to most of its 237 commissaries in 13 countries.
A spokeswoman for the department said selling some beer and wine at commissaries makes its convenient for "shoppers to pick up a bottle of wine for dinner or a case of beer for a weekend cookout with the rest of their groceries."

Board OKs job details of innovation post
BIDDEFORD – The Biddeford School department is proposing a new position in its budget to help create a more cohesive curriculum throughout the district.
The position, titled director of innovation and instruction, is similar to that of a curriculum coordinator.
The position would aid in establishing vertical alignment throughout the Biddeford school system to ensure that all levels of education are performing in unison.
The job description was approved unanimously during the April 24 school board meeting, with Assistant Superintendent Christopher Indorf detailing the requirements for the job, calling the position description "pretty exhaustive," to which school board member Lisa Vadnais replied, "I'm tired just reading it."
The job description has 22 bullet points listing the responsibilities for the position, including working with the superintendent on strategic planning for the district, making policy recommendations regarding elementary and secondary education, and assisting with the inculcation of new staff. According to the description, he position will be considered a "go-to" resource for educators in the district, and will help with the advancement of the district.
"This position will liaise between all these (school) buildings to make sure they're all on the same page. They'll be doing everything," said Indorf in a separate interview.
"Right now, elementary school students go to three schools. That's three staffs, three curriculums. We need to make sure there is alignment between all of them, kindergarten-12," said Jeremy Ray, superintendent of Biddeford schools..
According to Ray, the position will be paid between $80,000 and $90,000.
A portion of this is included in the curriculum section of the budget, however the rest is anticipated to be funded by federal dollars, and therefore not included in the budget. This will be a multiyear position within the school department, but is contingent on the passing of this year's budget and will not eliminate any current position.
As of May 7, the school department has completed the first round of interviews with three to four candidates.
The candidates are interviewing for what Indorf calls an "anticipated position," and are aware that the offers are contingent on the budget. A second round of interviews will take place with Ray.
The proposed school budget for fiscal year 2018-2019 is $21,999,427, a .08 percent increase of $17,688 from the previous budget.
"It is effectively a zero increase to the mill rate," Indorf said.
Indorf holds that less-than 1 percent increase to the budget as a point of pride.
"Other districts want to pass 5, 6, 7 percent increases every year, but we try to keep it as low as possible, usually between zero-1 percent," Indorf said.
Indorf also spoke highly of the grants the school applies for and receives that help offset inflation and annual increases to the budget. Indorf said the district works to be "super entrepreneurial" in working to bring in money to the district without having to ask taxpayers.
The Biddeford School District also receives contracted funds from Dayton to run the school department, which it can in turn use as revenue to pay for additions such as this position.
The proposed revenue from the shared service with Dayton for the 2018-2019 fiscal year is $158,000.
"Any other district this size has a position like this. It has been a vacancy in this district for years, and is needed to move forward," Indorf said.

What is International Labors Day?
Each year, people across the globe take to the streets to commemorate International Workers' Day, or May Day.
In dozens of countries, May Day is an official holiday, and for labour rights campaigners it is particularly important.
In the United States, it is symbolic of past labour struggles against a host of workers' rights violations, including lengthy work days and weeks, poor conditions and child labour.
Why is International Workers' Day on May 1?
In the late-19th century, socialists, communists and TRADE unionists chose May 1 to become International Workers' Day.
The date was symbolic, commemorating the Haymarket affair, which took place in Chicago, in the US, in 1886.
For years, the working class - often forced to work up to 16 hours a day in unsafe conditions - had been fighting for an eight-hour workday.

Several years ago I was reading a novel titled The Historian when I encountered a passage that seemed to come from the same set of insights that are at the foundation of my current work. The central male character in the novel talks about taking a train from Istanbul to Budapest in the early 1900s. He reflects on how the landscape and culture change as the the train moves north. He marvels that 'the landscape itself seemed saturated with history'. I was struck by that observation and mesmerized by the word 'saturated'. It occurred to me that those few sentences in the novel captured a small piece of a larger experience. It is not just that 'the landscape is saturated in history', but more globally every place is saturated with every other place. Every time is saturated with every other time. Every thing is saturated with every other thing. Further, one can sense place infused not with just one moment in time and history, but saturated with Time itself. Place, Time, and Phenomena, become living dynamic entities of which any place, time or phenomena is only a localized instance.
Something like this is at the heart of my current work. My experience is that every place, time, and thing seem to echo the heartbeat (even the heartbreak) of every other place, time and thing. Every place summons up the ghosts of each and every instance of history in that and other places. The world abounds in 'echo structures', never issuing one sound, but a wealth of echoes through time, place, and phenomena. And any moment in time seems like a small and contained room in which the floor and ceiling have dropped away revealing Everything echoing Everything: Past, Present, and Future. My current work grows out of these insights. It is a celebration of Ontological mystery.

Do you have those stores that you hate going into because you know that you are going to end up spending way more money than you intended?
Blog content is free to the reader right? Well today my RSS feeds cost me.
The Friday Traffic Report had a post on the Big Word Project, which is essentially a tag site. Site owners can buy the tag with a link to their site at the cost of $1 per letter.
Developed by masters students Paddy Donnelly and Lee Munroe from the University of Ulster, the site launched on February 25, 2008. The idea sprang from a desire to create a project that utilized concepts in their Multi-Disciplinary Design program.
The "buy a space" concept gained prominence in 2005 with the success of the Million Dollar Homepage by Alex Tew who, like the Big Word Project founders, was a college student trying to raise money to pay tuition.
Since the launch of the Million Dollar Homepage numerous copycat sites have sprung up, although none have had the success of the original.
The difference between The Big Word Project and the majority of the tag sites out there is that the tag must be an actual word in the dictionary (no phrases) and the tag is priced by the letter.
Another nice little feature is the option to purchase the tagged word as a gift for a friend. I bought the word "Bows" for a friend who designs custom hair bows.
Along with a list of other words. I'll warn you now, it gets addicting. You buy one word and then think of another that would be good to have.
Should you buy a word for your business? If a related word is available, I don't think you can go wrong with getting it. Just be sure that you enter the url to link correctly, it can't be changed later.

JOIN The Region V Fatherhood ListservOn March 24, 2004, Region V launched the Region V ACF Fatherhood Listserv. Listserv participants share a commitment to fatherhood and male involvement efforts for the sake of the children and their families. The initial participants were Early Head Start and Head Start grantees including grantees that received the FSI grant, the Region V Early Head Start Demonstration grantees and ACF program partners who expressed interest in fatherhood topics. The listserv expanded within its first year to include more than 300 interested partners from Child Welfare, Runaway and Homeless Youth Services and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs, state agencies, and many community-based organizations. Listserv members receive grant information, recent research, new training materials, and announcements of upcoming events. They also exchange information and answer questions to help each other in the development or enhancement of fatherhood/male involvement efforts. They have assisted each other in searches for trainers on topics such as parenting classes for ex-felons, speakers for conference agendas and pertinent website sources.
On July 13, 2004 the Region V office of the Administration of Children and Families launched a series of quarterly calls to address issues related to fatherhood programming and practices. The calls are announced on the Region V Fatherhood Listserv and are open to public and private agency representatives throughout Region V.

By Rachael Whitlock
Phillis Wheatley once said, "In every human beast, God has implanted a principle, which we call love of freedom; it is impatient of oppression, and pants for deliverance." When people think of February, Valentine's Day is typically what first comes to mind. But February isn't only the month for celebrating love, it is also Black History Month. It is a time to celebrate the most prominent African American leaders in history, and their contributions to society. It is also a time to celebrate the African Americans who, after centuries of oppression, challenged molds and societal roles that were once forced on them. Although there were plenty of well-known leaders who fought for human rights, there were also many artists, musicians, writers, and poets that used their talents to challenge the oppression they faced. One of these people was Phillis Wheatley, the first African American poet whose work helped set the stage for the abolitionist movement in the late 1700s.
After being kidnapped and enslaved when she was just eight years old, Phillis Wheatley became the first African American, and one of the first women, to publish a book of poetry in the colonies. Wheatley's owner, John Wheatley, who originally purchased her to be a servant for his wife Susanna, quickly realized the girl's intelligence. Although most slave owners at the time discouraged their slaves to read and write, John and Susanna Wheatley were different. The family began to educate Wheatley in theology, Latin, mythology, and Greek, and greatly encouraged her literary pursuits. By the time she was thirteen, Phillis Wheatley had her first poem published in a local newspaper, and continued to publish work as a teenager.
In 1773, Wheatley became the first African American to publish a book of poems when she wrote Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. This was a landmark achievement in American history, as it began to change colonists' perspective on African Americans' capabilities. Not only was Wheatley now an accomplished poet, she was also a strong supporter of American independence from Britain. She even wrote several poems in honor of George Washington, who eventually invited her to visit him in Washington.
Unfortunately, the years to follow her first book's publishing became more difficult for Wheatley. Both John and Susanna died a few years apart, which devastated Wheatley, who had come to see them as her own parents. In 1778, Wheatley married a free African American and had three children, but they all died in infancy. The couple's marriage was constantly strained by poverty because, as growing tensions between America and Britain grew, Wheatley couldn't find a publisher in London to take any more of her work. Ultimately, Wheatley spent the rest of her life working as a maid in a boarding house and died in her early thirties.
However, despite Wheatley's hardships and struggles as a writer, she is still regarded as one of the most prominent poets and influential figures in African American history. Her work as a woman, and as a slave, presented opportunities that many previously didn't think possible. She also proved that African Americans were equally as capable, creative, and intelligent as anyone else, and should be encouraged to read and write. In this way, Wheatley's work was instrumental in setting the stage of the abolitionist movement and helped pave the way for other African American poets throughout history.

Now that America is becoming more and more familiar with the names inside the Trump administration (since so many of them are being investigated), maybe you'll recognize this one: Gary Cohn. He's Trump's Chief Economic Adviser, and maybe the best example of the kind of lies we knew to expect from Donald Trump's claim that he planned to "drain the swamp" in Washington, D.C.
Up until he was hired by Trump, Gary Cohn was the head of operations at Goldman Sachs, the bazillionaire investment firm that played a huge role in the Bush recession that began in late 2007 and early 2008.
As you may remember, Bush signed the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, into law in October of that year. It became known as the "bank bailout" for institutions that were "too big to fail." Goldman Sachs, as a landmark example of such an institution, took pride in the fact that it paid back its TARP money to the government almost immediately, claiming to have achieved solvency well before many of the other large banks, some of which went under entirely. It wasn't until 2010 that the public found out that Bush's Federal Reserve had fronted Goldman the money to pay back the TARP "loan," and accepted mortgage-backed securities from Goldman in return. You may recognize that phrase as "the reason the banks needed a bailout to begin with."
Gary Cohn was the president of Goldman Sachs at that time, and that guy is the current president's top adviser on economic policy.
Whew! That's a lot to process.
Anyway, it's hard to get a guy like that to tell the truth about things relating to money. I mean, it's kind of been his job for more than a decade to keep people in the dark, even if only to avoid bank panics and stock sell-offs and that sort of thing.
But today Gary finally told the truth about the GOP's current tax plan, and he said that the GOP is giving tax cuts to the rich. And that they did it entirely by accident.
Cohn sat down with CNBC's John Harwood for an interview at American University, where he went to school. During the course of the conversation, Cohn seemed to reverse the administration's position that the wealthy would not be getting a tax cut under the current GOP outline. In fact, Cohn seemed to celebrate the possibility, while insisting that cuts for the rich were a byproduct of their effort to stimulate wage growth:
I don't believe that we've set out to create a tax cut for the wealthy. If someone's getting a tax cut, I'm not upset that they're getting a tax cut. I'm really not upset."
In other words: Trickle-down.
For an administration that claims to be doing everything differently than previous administrations, working outside "the establishment" and doing "unconventional" things, this GOP tax plan sure looks a lot like every GOP tax plan always has. Less than six weeks since Cohn went on Good Morning America and personally insisted that the wealthy were NOT getting a tax cut, he did a quiet interview early on a Thursday morning on a channel that only economy wonks watch in the first place, and admitted that they are.
And Cohn is definitely not upset about it.

MEANING OF WORDS. riginal.
For the student heading for the halls of knowledge.Or,the local pub. Transitory step in liquid form after a hard day's study discussing why Social Media scrum is so darn important to ACQUIRE. Finger flexing good feel. Don't leave home without your digits.
ACQUIRE: He was a young man possessed of a wonderful stretch of tonsil reverberation. As a result of A CHOIR he joined to learn to sing. A quiet lad at first, though bursting into song enabled him to shrug off his shyness ACQUIRED when he was told as a little inquiring tike- to shut up. His singing was of course an ACQUIRED taste. That's not to say, his father, who had very sensitive eardrums, developed an ACQUIRED brain injury as a result of listening to his screeching son in his formative foray endeavor to impress his dad.
His dad as it turned out, was driven to ACQUIRE and REQUIRE,very large amounts of alcohol to enable him to bear the resonance of his growing songster. Practice prior to Jack's requirement; that of performing in the aforesaid choir. The lad eventually ACQUIRED, or came into possession of...a singing prowess lauded in the echoing halls of knowledge. IE: The local pub. Jack's father ACQUIRED the excuse for his drinking himself silly, tendering the excuse that the calming effect of drinking not only quietened Jack's tonal onslaught...it made him AC QUIETER man.
See students you can if you want to, twist and inject incoherent words much the same as our revered politician's do. Just to make sure you haven't dozed off. I must ask. WHAT! do our politician's DO with monotonous regularly? Can't think? Well, they do BUGGER ALL. Without having to think.You see politicians learn their craft (crafty ways?), in the HALL of knowledge. They then ACQUIRE status at the local pub. Upon stumbling out of the pub with their doctorates in tow they twist and inject venom at each other, verbally bash each other...then sing each others praises. They then set out to ACQUIRE lots and lots of money to gamble with. Some of the more adventurous get on the revolving wheel of fortune and end up ACQUIRING bugger all.
Don't get me wrong students. Politicians in the main, when they're not staggering round in the main hall with bugger all after their wives are totally sick of pouring them into the back of their pickups-leave them. Pickups to make them look like they are in tune with middle income, duh, poor people? Sick of their philandering. I think that means Senator Phil landering on something he shouldn't have ACQUIRED. Before...or after?
moral: All seriousness aside students, be careful when you graduate which 'ALL you head in the direction of. Don't end up like Jack singing for his supper. Or drinking to calm the eardrums because eventually it will go in one ear and out t other... I mean aren't humans 70% water? Couple that with a skinful of Bourbon on the rocks and perhaps you'll end up sloshing if you don't ACQUIRE commonsense. Do they still dispense that in Kentucky? Or does the common Kentucky still still dispense? My apologies to all politicians but i had to present an example of excess to be avoided at all costs to the weary taxed people with bugger all...trying to send their kids to college to ACQUIRE knowledge. My apologies if i've offended anyone from Kentucky standing upright...as local law- abiding citizens of meritorious behavior and upstanding ACQUIRED Kentucky sediments...sorry, sentiments. No students, i'm not asking for remuneration for this lesson. Perhaps though, the next time i'm in Kentucky you might shout me one drink? An ACQUIRED taste? Isn't there a song that goes..."Kentucky woman..." Just hope she's married to someone with a bit of commonsense. That sends me on my way...with my ACQUIRED tail between my legs. Where else after all is a tail supposed to be? Have a great life and do whatever makes you wake up singing. Not too loud though, the neighbors might moan in unison. Best of luck. :>)

When planning for a new trip it's always useful to have a base of operations. It allows you to collate all your information in one place for easy access when planning.
After a few months in limbo I've finally found my new base of operations. I moved into my new flat on the weekend and have already started to set myself up for some serious planning. It was with great excitement I headed off to check out Stanfords map (http://www.stanfords.co.uk/) store in central London on Monday evening. A little sad I know, but Stanfords is know as map heaven to those who research expeditions. I went into buy one Central Asia map and left with three!!
As you can see from the photo's they are now proudly attached to my wall, reminding my on a daily basis of my trip to come. It also clearly shows just how big a journey I have in front of me (and hopefully some other willing souls). Central Asia is huge!!
Night of Adventure
On Monday evening was lucky enough to attend a Night of Adventure. The evening consisted of 11 adventurers speaking about their amazing exploits, all in aid of the amazing charity Hope and Homes for Children. What made the evening unique is that each adventurer gets only 20 seconds to speak about 20 slides. 400 seconds of adventure!! It was a great night out for a great cause.
Banff Mountain Film Festival
Tuesday nights fun was the world tour of the Banff Mountain Film Festival. I'd heard great things about this evening and I wasn't disappointed. There were a range of films showcasing both the crazy, and brave, of the adventure world. The film makers have done a fabulous job. If you get the chance, check it out. I'd recommend it. Watch the promo video. It'll blow you away.
Yes Man Challenge – Stand Up Paddleboarding
This Sunday sees my first Yes Man Challenge. Will has challenged me to Stand Up Paddleboarding on the Thames in the middle of winter. It promises to be a fun and potentially very chilly day out. There are spaces available if anybody is daft enough to join us.
Wish us luck!!

Earlier this year I got a new tattoo on my forearm. It's the first part of one of my all time favourite quotes - hope begins in the dark. I named my blog after that quote, so it was probably only a matter of time before I went one step further and had it inked onto myself.
|Note also the attractive bruise above "dark" from where Remic gave me a love bite last weekend
It's an important quote to me, massively so, and one I've recited to myself daily over the past few years when personal griefs and family tragedies seemed to come one after the other. But it's really the last line of the quote that's been playing on my mind lately:
You wait and watch and work; you don't give up. Oh sweet Cthulhu, this. This! You can't just sit around waiting for the world to change. You have to make it change. I laid a lot of groundwork for myself in 2014. I bloody well worked to get back to where I wanted to be.
And in 2015, the Year of the Basilisk, that work is paying off. I've already produced more new stuff than I did for the past two years. I've signed three publishing contracts, two under my pen name, and I'm writing more regularly (almost daily, which I really never thought I'd be able to manage again). I'm writing in new genres, as well as the one I love most, and I'm having a shit-ton of fun on both fronts.
I'm so excited about BLOOD WITCH, I can't even tell you! A brand new world, new characters that I adore, and a story that made me really fucking love writing again. The provisional publication date is June, so I'm expected all the fun stuff like edits and cover art to start appearing soon. My first Amber Morgan title, THROUGH HER EYES, is out on 8th May, and my second, EXILED ALPHA, will be appearing in a summer-released anthology. I've got a new Ethan Banning short story brewing in my head, and plans for at least two more Blood Canticle books. I used to feel like I had to have a set schedule for my writing - "I will work on A, and then B, and then C" - and if I didn't stick to that, I'd feel like I was failing at something. I'm trying to shrug off that attitude and I'm stumbling into new stories and worlds along the way.
Spring is here. There's no denying there's something magical in the air at this time of year. But I'm inclined to believe it's magic we've created through our own hard work. The first few months of 2015 have been pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year brings.

Justice League might be missing one major character if an early test screening is to be believed.
Warner Bros held a screening earlier this week with everyone in attendance required to sign heavy embargoes, but that hasn't stopped Batman News from uncovering that Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor apparently didn't make the cut.
This would fit with a report last month that any subplot involving Lex had been cut from Justice League during the movie's reshoots under Joss Whedon.
We last saw Lex at the end of Batman v Superman when Batman (Ben Affleck) visited him in prison, leading to Lex teasing the arrival of Steppenwolf who is the main villain of Justice League.
However, we're not too devastated if Lex has been cut, since there's already enough characters in the team-up movie, so it could mean it has been streamlined a touch.
It also doesn't rule out a more suitable return for Lex when Superman comes back from the dead, likely during Justice League, but definitely by the time that the planned Superman sequel rolls around.
Last year, Eisenberg revealed he was excited at the prospect of appearing with everyone in Justice League: "I love everybody who's in it. You know, it's a really talented group of people."
Justice League is out in cinemas on November 17.

LIFE IN MY GRANDPARENTS' TIME, by Irene Tineo
Yesterday, I called my grandmother, and she explained me something to me about her house in the 40's. She was born in a house. She lived in Los Alcázares, in Múrcia, in a little village with her 3 brothers, her 2 sisters and her parents. Also, her cousin was living with she for a few time. There, they were working on the field, growing lemons and oranges. Her mother staied at home until all the family arrive with the food. She was not going to school, but she said me that my grandphader sudied a little bit until he was 11 years old.
They had to work a lot to get some money, and then, to eat. In their house, they had not any computer, any dishwasher, any microwave... but they could live without all this machines. She said me, that when my mother was born, in her neighborhood, they only had a radio, and they and the rest of the neighbors meet in a square for listen it. They had to wash their clothes in a big laundry in the centre of the village. They had not a car, so they had to walk and load all the lemons with big baskets.

Listen to Fare of the Free Child (Unschooling) Podcast
If we want a world where compassion, empathy, understanding, and equity are normal, well-practiced interpersonal skills, our learning spaces have to reflect that. So many families and the communities they live in, believe in social justice work. And by that I mean we believe the world isn't always going to be filled with race, class, gender, ability biases in favor of the few people in power, and reflective of the harmful social systems that inform our actions, and that are embedded in our schools. Some of us—parents, educators, other village members—believe that Self-Directed Education and its tendency to center social justice, is a powerful potential way to bridge the gaps between cultures, classes, and all sorts of other social systems. But, what we're seeing in the SDE movement is that access and understanding of these options outside of traditional school tend to shut out non-White families. The reasons vary, but the common threads are systemic and personal biases, often rooted in normalized anti-blackness, patterns of exclusion, and a lack of practice treating all people like people. This work aims to nurture safe space for adults committed to more partnership and liberation centered relationships with children and each other. My name is Akilah S. Richards, and I write and speak to unschool, and to share the ways Self-Directed Education supports decolonizing, deschooling, & getting free.

It is hard to imagine at a time when Liverpool is on the Unesco "In Danger" List that this placement of an advertising hoarding on our Town Hall could be done.
Some time ago the Mayor Anderson helped me remove an advertisement for a giant advert for A Burger In A Bun next to the Listed Lyceum at the bottom of Bold Street.
I have today written to him asking how this unfortunate occasion has been sanctioned.
I wrote this for LPT at the time
Read the letter about illegal hoardings. click above
Mr Anderson,
It is very disappointing to note that Liverpool's town hall has been turned into a giant advertising placard for mobile phones.
I know you think that Liverpool's World Heritage Site status is no more than a plaque on the wall in the Town Hall and that the city is now about making money out of heritage sites, but this is a step too far.
You will recall agreeing with me that a advert for Burger King was inappropriate for the adjacent building to the Lyceum. You claimed to have it removed.
So how can you find this acceptable.
I am not aware of any planning applications for this event of placing a huge tacky advertisement in a WHS, which is also in a conservation area and on a listed building.
Would you please advise me of any planning applications that have been considered by the planning committee.
Would you also advise me who sanctioned this idea.
Also would you advise me how much is being paid by the advertisers.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Wayne Colquhoun.

Our School
Like many voluntary aided Church of England Primary Schools, St Matthew's can trace its roots back to the eighteenth century when it was established as a charity school. By 1833 the school was affiliated to the National Society and held in conjunction with Sunday schools.In 1877 a new school building was built on a site given by the Vicar of Cainscross, opposite the church. The school moved to its present location in 1980. Whilst the school remains committed to its Christian foundation and traditional values of hard work, courtesy and selflessness, we are equally determined to be at the forefront of the educational process. Embracing the potential of modern technology is, of course, part of that process and in developing this website we are aiming to make that technology work for us, to help us provide information more effectively and to reach the widest audience possible. So whether you are a parent or a child, whether you have a child at St Matthew's or are looking for the right school for your child, or even if you are an ex-pupil or parent of an ex-pupil, you are most welcome. Whatever your reason for accessing our site we hope you find it interesting, informative and useful. We will do our best to keep it up to date but if you have ideas as to how we might improve it, please let us know. Likewise if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.We look forward to hearing from you.mission statement

Studied protecting wildlife at Tokyo Communication Arts College. Kimbara is my senior.
I'm passionate about animal. I was captured by Iriomote for its unique biological diversity – wildlife I could only see on picture books. So, I made up my mind to settle down here in this island.
My favorite activity is shooting photos of animal and post them to FaceBook.
Experience the best-kept secrets of natural wonderland of Iriomote. Mangrove-fringed rivers, sea of coral reef and undersea life and tropical jungle and a lot more. Let me help you to fully enjoy this fabulous and magnificent nature. Let's talk about wild animal, vegetation, food, culture and history of this island to make your tour an unforgettable experience.
Helped the baseball team win the league pennant by driving in 2 runs in 2014 season. Drank Awamori (Okinawa's local hard liquor) my fill at the celebration party.
In my student days, I studied vegetation after forest fire in Borneo, Indonesia. After engaging in soybean curd production in Osaka, I decided to move to Iriomote because I definitely wanted to work infields – the island surrounded by blue ocean and green jungle.
I'm a kind of easygoing person. Ocean swimming is my favorite pastime.
"If you travel to a south-eastern Asian country during your youth, you would become hooked on it." As someone said, I was captivated by jungles in Borneo. That's why I moved to Iriomote.
Iriomote is the last hidden charm in Japan, vast tropical jungle and coral reef sea of multiple blue color mix.
Here in this island, time flows in a leisurely pace.
Why not surrender yourself to the greatness of nature in Iriomote.

Death Guard Tactical Squad #2, Lord of Contagion & Noxious Blightbringer
Starting to smash out my Dark Imperium Death Guard. 2nd Tactical squad finished along with a Lord of Contagion and my first Noxious Blightbringer. The Blightbringer models are actually pretty cool and look better as Psykers than the Plaguecasters which to me look a bit stupid. Still they're good models to paint. Slowly trying to add edge highlights to varying degrees of success.

Melbourne Health CEO Linda Sorrell aims to fix the organisation's fiscal woes by 2009. The prognosis? The former nurse and 2007 Telstra Victorian Business Woman of the Year is on target to do just that. By Georgina Jerums
For many, taking up the CEO role at an organisation that's carrying a $13.3 million deficit would provoke an "er, thanks, but I'll pass" response. Particularly when that organisation is in public health and under the intense scrutiny of government. Poisoned chalice alert, right?
Well, no, not everyone sees it like that. Certainly not Linda Sorrell. When appointed to lead public health provider Melbourne Health in April 2007, inheriting a $13.3 million debt plus some 7800 staff and a $680 million annual operating budget, she knew full well the finances needed emergency resuscitation. And, far from backing off, this nurse-turned-executive is relishing the task at hand.
Perhaps that's because it's familiar territory, and Sorrell, viewed in health circles as a troubleshooter, knows how to get the job done. Before accepting the tenure at Melbourne Health – which operates The Royal Melbourne, Australia's busiest hospital, where she's the first female CEO in 160 years – Sorrell was Chief Executive of Southern Health, one of Victoria's 14 big public health services.
In just three years at Southern, Sorrell erased a $16.5 million deficit; a turnaround lauded as something of a health management miracle. Can a similar budget miracle occur at Melbourne Health by 2009? It looks that way, given promising year-to-date figures, but first there's the pesky finance responsibility issue to be addressed.
Cultural issues
"The challenge has been to build a culture of accountability," admits Sorrell, speaking from her office at Parkville's Royal Melbourne where Norman Lindsay sketches soften the walls, and binders fat with spreadsheets line the shelves. Nearby, trams rattle past and it's only a short walk to the bluestone surrounds and clipped green lawns of the University of Melbourne.
She's 15 months into the job and while the Royal Melbourne is not exactly The Ritz (compounded by a redevelopment that has the entrance scaffolded and abuzz with ear-splitting drills), there's no question Sorrell loves it here in the hospital's crowded, buzzy corporate wing, from where she oversees the Melbourne Health network. Created in July 2000, Melbourne Health includes aged care and takes in The Royal Melbourne, NorthWestern Mental Health, North West Dialysis Service and the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory.
The CEO gig – to manage the network's 1000 beds, 55,000 emergency patients and 700,000 occasions of care annually – is not for faint hearts, particularly when long waiting lists and bed shortages hit the headlines, but constant, meticulous goal setting makes the role achievable. In fact, although she tries not to work weekends and refuses to own a BlackBerry for work/life balance reasons, it is by being intensely goal driven Sorrell gets the job done. It's common knowledge her meetings always start and finish on time. The secret?
"I schedule meetings back-to-back. If anyone goes overtime, I can't stay. People get used to it." That razor focus rarely lets up: you'll find Sorrell at her desk early, usually after striding out at the ungodly hour of 5.20am for a 60-minute walk to prep her mind for the day.
Prior to her appointment, the elephant in the room at Melbourne Health was inefficient spending. The brand needed to get more corporate. And fast.
Sorrell knew a cultural shift was crucial. "Managing a public hospital system is no different from running a corporation," she says, holding a direct gaze. "You have revenue, you have expenditure. If you don't deliver on that, you're wasting public money. We all pay our taxes and we expect a certain service.
"For me, one of the things about coming to Melbourne Health was the financial state of the organisation; that's been a challenge. We provided very high quality clinical care, but when you have press coverage about the financial state of the organisation, it does have an impact on your brand."
Lean thinking
To turn that around, lean thinking management (used by Qantas, National Australia Bank, Toyota, Woolworths and the UK's National Health Service) has been rolled out at Melbourne Health.
"Based on the principles of lean thinking, we focus on the needs of patients rather than the needs of the organisation," explains Sorrell.
The strategy encourages clinicians, bed management, surgical staff and administration to all work together to improve the flow of patients, providing safer patient care and reducing waiting time for treatment. Lean thinking also works to eliminate duplication, delays and the potential for errors, ensuring every step improves outcomes for patients and staff. It's a focused approach to delivering whole-of-system innovation and ensures executive sponsorship is linked to frontline staff to drive change.
So adept is Sorrell at applying lean thinking and reining in hospital budget blowouts that in 2007 she won Telstra's Victorian Business Woman of the Year and the National IBM Community and Government Award. A Melbourne Health balanced budget by mid-2009 is possible, she hedges, provided emergency admissions don't skyrocket.
"We closed the 2006-07 financial year with a $13.3 million deficit and we've set ourselves three years to turn it around. We may achieve that sooner, we may not. You have no control over patients that come through the emergency department. That drives a lot of costs."
It has to, as emergency care is a public health priority. In private health, the management mantra is "attract the specialists, and the profit and patients will follow". Working with the public purse, however, Melbourne Health must serve the community, and that includes operating one of Victoria's two trauma centres plus facilitating education and research such as clinical trials into a Type 1 diabetes intranasal vaccine. An ageing population means services for age-related diseases such as cancer also take priority.
Given most staff weren't aware of just how grim the spreadsheet was at Melbourne Health before Sorrell came on board, transparency and a collective ownership is key to wrestling the budget under control.
"We all have a responsibility to turn it around," points out Sorrell. "I, as the chief executive, can't do it on my own. We've had a focus on improvement and innovation. We need to start to look at how we can do things differently and get everyone aware of the costs. The culture's different."
Where the buck stops
Since the buck stops with the CEO, does the immensity of that task – leading, managing and nurturing not only the health care, but also staff, finances and stakeholders – make her lose sleep occasionally? "No," Sorrell says after a pause. "It doesn't weigh too heavily because I know we can reduce patient costs and still deliver the same care. And we can grow our business."
Having a tight executive team "with differing yet complementary skills and experiences", who lead by example and give her feedback is essential. Sorrell quips that she hasn't personally met all 7800 staff yet, but, when time allows, she schedules visits throughout the hospital network and the intensive care unit or the emergency department.
Once all the talking is done, the tightening of costs is the hard part and Sorrell has to make tough, at times unpopular, decisions, which is why accessing the latest data to support a budget argument is key. "You've got to be fair and equitable," she says. "You look where demand is occurring and allocate the funding with those things in mind. You need proof that an area has substantial growth for the future."
Sorrell says that she always wanted to manage a hospital. "When I was working in nursing, I always wanted to do more. I've got two sisters who are nurses. I think you have to be a certain type of person to move into the field. Caring for people, you have to have a lot of compassion. That's what drives me. I love working at a public hospital."
