Mid-May, Bandon OR
Traveling during the summer is hard. Kids are out of school and campgrounds are full of family vacationers, especially in popular state and national parks. To make matters worse, the weather can be hot making for an uncomfortable boondocking experience.
Last August, we got lucky and snagged a three night stay at South Beach State Park on the coast near Newport, Oregon. It never got above 70° even though temperatures 30 miles inland were in the uppers 90's. We loved being there and it was then that we decided to plan better and return to the Oregon coast for this summer. With commercial RV parks costing lots of $$ and state parks limiting camping to 14 consecutive days, our best alternative was to seek out a volunteer position. So here we are, in Bandon, OR working as interpretive guides pointing out coastal wildlife to the locals and traveling tourists.
We're volunteering with the Shoreline Education for Awareness, Inc., (SEA) a friends organization with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. We'll be here through early August explaining to visitors the habits of wildlife along the Oregon coast. Since our favorite pastime is critter-watching, we couldn't ask for a better assignment.
Cindy and I work atop the cliffs along the mainland. Using high powered spotting scopes, we point out the nesting birds on the rocky islands just off the beach. Common Murres, pigeon guillemots, western gulls, pelagic cormorants and Brandt's cormorants are the most common nesting birds we see but we're also fortunate to have observed nesting peregrine falcons, black oystercatchers and tufted puffins. Visitors come from all over to see the tufted puffins and I hope to have a picture here soon.
Other volunteers work the tide pools at low tide. Cindy and I look forward to spending time down there during our days off.
Since we'll be here for another two months, expect many more photos to come. This place is a photographers dream.

Book Review by Aarene Storms: Mooncop
Saturday, January 13, 2018
The Mooncop makes his rounds every day. He finds a lost dog, locates a wandering museum automaton, eats a doughnut in his car, and submits his reports. There is no crime on the moon; instead, each day there are more machines and fewer people.
Then his favorite doughnut kiosk is upgraded to a cafe, staffed by somebody new.
The last page made me laugh out loud.
No blood, no cussing, no kissing, no sex. This is a simple, powerful, poignant little story. Highly recommended.
The events may not have happened; still, the story is true. --R. Silvern

AS THE TITLEsuggests and as he freely admits, Jimmy Carr is in Edinburgh to make himself immensely famous, writes Darren Hickey.
To achieve this aim, he presents his show as an exposé of his talents, showcasing his best jokes, outlining his plans for a book and West End shows and even extending to a mock TV interview.
He opens with a series of unconnected puns, reminiscent of Tommy Cooper but delivered with the slightly sneering style of Chris Morris.
Though he apologises for his lack of audience engagement, he quite happily picks on crowd members and returns to them throughout the show. He interrupts his litany of jokes with suggested tools to further his comic career, one of which comprises his correspondence with some of society's luminaries.
When it becomes evident that these are genuine stunts and not fabrications, some of the crowd are clearly uncomfortable with jokes at the expense of Amnesty International and Stephen Hawking; this is a show likely to offend, if you're likely to be offended.
That said, it is all done with a knowing approach that solicits the complicity of the audience.
These are the jokes we sometimes guiltily share among ourselves but hesitate to air in the presence of strangers.VENUE AND DETAILS:Until Mon Aug 26, Gilded Balloon Teviot (V14), Bristo Square, 20:15 to 21:15, £8.50 and £9.50, £7.50 to £8.50 concs.

Good day, howdy, my name is Keilly! I am not new or accomplished in the blogging world but I am trying to find my voice and a couple of years ago it was political activism and international scenarios. Now, that does still tickle my fancy but I am very engrossed in the world of technology and Social Networking.
I am no whiz when it comes to computers but I have been able to hold my own to the point where now I do computer tech support to pay the bills and enjoy most every minute of it. Especially learning more about my own laptop. I am a bit partial towards Apple, but I work with Windows and run a virtual machine of Windows 7 on my external hard drive on my Macbook. (Which I may need a new one soon, though this laptop has lasted longer than any I have had in years past.)
So that is my intro, please feel free to comment and even lead me onto the path I need to be on should you feel I have run astray.
A Bien Tot!

I would like to draw a rectangle (or more) which printed on paper shows the rectangle in units of cm. So
Graphics[{Rectangle[{0, 0}, {19, 28}], Orange, Rectangle[{0, 0}, {1, 1}]}]
will print out as two rectangles which can be measured as exactly 1cm x 1cm (orange one) and the black one as 19x28 cm.
It seems that some variables are important:
ImageSize and of course the
I used
AspectRatio->19/28 and for the
ImageSize various settings like
ImageSize->{19*27,28*27} but it keeps being not very accurate.
I export the graphics to TIFF and then print out with windows photo gallery to a full page photo. Does anyone have experience with this? There must be a formula instead of trial and error.
UPDATE: I tried the suggestion of @Szabolcs and I used the following code:
g = Graphics[{White, EdgeForm[Directive[Thick, Black]],
Rectangle[{0, 0}, {18, 28}], Orange, Rectangle[{0, 0}, {10, 10}]}]
final = Show[g, AspectRatio -> Automatic,
PlotRange -> {{-0.5, 18.5}, {-0.5, 28.5}}]
cm = 72/2.54
Export["final.pdf", Show[final, ImageSize -> {19 cm, 29 cm}]]
This works great. The orange rectangle of 10x10cm is when measured exactly 10x10cm
the cm 72/2.54 value was not what I expected since I though Windows uses 96dpi and Mac 72dpi (reading from the www). However 72 is the value that works. I've also beenn playing with the frames but then it gets ugly. Haven't found a way to get the right results dispite playing with all possible settings. What should work is create the frames/ticks etc myself inside the selected boundaries but that's not the path I would like to pursue..

Eli (short for Elisha) Townsend's father was Edward Townsend Sr. Edward's estate in Pickens County, Ga., covered 2,100 acres of land. He owned 18 slaves. Appraisal of land, slaves, and goods, all listed February 3, 1860, showed an evaluation of $10,000. Edward Sr. and Anna Townsend had 16 children. Eli's parents were buried in a family cemetery near Tate, Ga., Pickens County, as was a sister of Eli's. Their tombstones read as follows: Edward Townsend (Aug 9, 1789-Jan 29, 1860); Anna Townsend (April 30, 1796-Sept 19, 1838); and Elizabeth Townsend (Jan. 9, 1836-Jan. 9, 1852).Eli (ca. 1809-1849?) was the first-born of Edward Sr. and Anna (Kimsey or McKinney?) Townsend. He married Sarah "Sally" Dyer sometime before 1830, for they were listed in the Habersham County, Ga., census of 1830, already with three male children under 10 years of age. When Eli married Sally, she already had a child, Micajah Clark Dyer, who was born in 1822 and was being reared by grandparents, Elisha Jr. and Elizabeth Clark Dyer. This son of Sally's became quite well known as the inventor of "the machine for navigating the air," the airplane he built and for which he secured a patent in July 1875.
Eli Townsend, farmer and soldier, served in the Mexican-American War. His war records give valuable information. His statement given at "Perote Castle" stated that Morgan County, Ga., was his place of birth. He was enlisted into service of the United States July 7, 1847 and was 38 years of age at the time of enlistment, which would make his birthdate in 1809. He was a sergeant of Company C of the Georgia Battalion of Foot Volunteers. He was honorably discharged "by reason of Surgeon's Certificate of Disability" on January 7, 1848. How badly he was wounded is not known. It seems that his sixmonths term of service entitled him to a land grant for which he applied on March 4, 1848 at Cassville, Ga. Why the grant was applied for at Cassville (now Bartow County) is not known. His residence was established as being in Union County. He did receive a Land Warrant (15900) on May 23, 1848, but the land was in Wisconsin.
He did not go there to settle on that land, but rather sold his patent to one John Fitzgerald in the Green Bay Land District of Wisconsin. The transaction was authenticated by John Butt, Judge of the Inferior Court of Union County, Georgia on August 30, 1848. This document is the last authentic record of Eli Townsend in Union County.
The 1850 census of Union lists Elizabeth (Sally) Townsend but not her husband, Eli. Some say that he had a second wife in another place, possibly in Cherokee County, Ga. This has not been proven authentically. The children of Eli and Sally Dyer Townsend were Andrew (Andrew Crockett Sr. born in Lumpkin County in 1826); Elisha; Thomas; Mary Ann called Polly; Caleb (called Cale), William and Sarah Elizabeth (called Betsy).
Andrew, the eldest son, also served in the Mexican-American War at about the same time his father Eli served. He enlisted on July 5, 1847 in John S. Fain's Company C, Georgia Battalion of Foot Volunteers. He was honorably discharged on July 13, 1848 at Mobile, Ala., when his year's term was up. Andrew Townsend received a land grant of 160 acres, also in Wisconsin, which he sold.

Instead of waking up with a huge post-holiday spending hangover, complete with regret and credit card debt, start the season intentionally take control. Think about how much you want to spend, suggest your relatives do the same, then stick to your plan.
So what should I do?
First establish a realistic amount that you can set aside for this time of year. What does realistic mean? Well $75 to cover all gifts, parties, and food is probably not going to work but blind over-indulgence won't either. Plan out what you need and put an amount down on paper you are comfortable with. Try to think of the holiday parties you will attend, the list of people you need to buy for, and the amount you are planning on spending for each person, and don't forget your travel expenses. By writing it all down, you can determine both what is most important and what other costs you might want to reconsider.
Often, I hear from clients that they'd like to not participate in family gift exchanges as adults. The cost, and the shopping just get to be too much. But often no one has the courage to bring this up. Why not suggest that your family do a selected gift exchange instead of gifts for everyone. And set a price limit. Suggest homemade gifts or an outing you can all experience. People remember experiences more positively than they do gifts. Studies show that NOBODY can recall what they received for Christmas in February. But, we often remember the cost of the gifts we purchase as we review our bank statements in January.
Now, I am not saying to avoid buying any gifts, or avoid seeing your family for the holidays. However, after taking it all into account, maybe it makes sense to not go to the New Years Eve party that cost $100 just to get in the door, especially when you still have to buy drinks, food, reserve a table etc. It can be hard to say no and have that feeling of "FOMO" (fear of missing out) go through your head.
What's next once I set my amount to spend for the holidays?
Tracking your daily spending is like counting your calories each day. It may sound easy, but it can be a challenge for those that have never done it before. My recommendation is to use either your debit or credit card. (Disclaimer: if you are behind on your credit card bills (meaning you can't pay your balance in full each month) please don't spend additional money you don't have.) By using your debit or credit card, this will allow you to go back and actually look at your purchases online. This can be a pretty sobering experience for some people. My challenge to you is to follow this process of tracking your holiday spending from Black Friday to 12-31-18. This will establish a great habit going into the new year.
Why should I track my spending?
The reason this is important is because it can really set the pace for how your next year is going to be established financially. If you start the year off with lots of debt due to the holiday season, it can really set you back from accomplishing your financial goals for the following year. This is what some witty people call a "Financial Hangover." Not the best way to start a new year. I am a big fan of getting those small victories to encourage you to stay on track. One small victory could be you spent less than what you planned on spending. Another victory could be you have now formed the habit of tracking how much you spend. Lastly, gaining control of your finances usually starts with your daily spending habits. This is very underrated in our instant gratification world but very important to building long-term wealth.
Most of what I am sharing has to do with your daily behaviors and making sure you understand the long-term impact on your finances, going back to counting calories. For some people that find themselves overweight, it usually did not happen over a day, week, or month. It slowly creeps up after years of undisciplined eating habits and lack of exercise. The same can be said with your spending habits. For those that have poor spending habits, the long-term impact can be lots of maxed out credit cards, a very skinny bank account, and a sense of hopelessness with your money.
Once you gain control of your daily spending habits (not just over the holiday season) but year around, you will start to really see the positive impact it has. And, your family may just thank you for having the courage to suggest that you all back off of the holiday spending treadmill and enjoy each other's company instead.

Will small pox and anthrax biosafety concerns undermine vital research?
Last week the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention announced that 6 small pox vials had been discovered on the 1st of July during the clearing out of an old laboratory at the Nationality Institute of Health's (NIH) Bethesda campus, Maryland.
The six glass vials, filled with freeze-dried small pox virus and sealed with melted glass, are still intact and the CDC have stated that there is not evidence to suggest lab workers or the public are at any risk. The CDC are currently testing the samples to see if they had the potential to make a person sick, after which they will be destroyed.
This comes just after the CDC admitted that they had sent live anthrax samples to a lab not able to safely store them. The resulting investigation from the US Department of Agriculture's animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) found numerous violations relating to the storage of anthrax: ill equipped labs, samples stored in unlocked fridges in hallways, missing samples, and storage equipment not up to scratch.
Understandably each of these cases has raised concerns about both biosafety, and the possibility of bio-terrorism. However unlikely the use of small pox or anthrax a mass weapon of terrorism, CDC officials must be feeling the heat from the public sector.
After Yoshihiro Kawaoka, from the University of Wisconsin, developed a deadly strain of avian flu that resembled that of the 1918 Spanish flu, the mainstream press were awash with sensationalist stories about the threat posed by the creation of this mutant flu strain. Will these latest failures add fuel to the fire?
Of course research like as Dr Kawaoka's is necessary to progress of our understanding of flu viruses. But with these latest bio-safety failures from the CDC, growing concern from government regulators, and no small amount of public criticism, could we see a drop in funding for projects looking into dangerous pathogens and deadly viruses?

The Workshop will be held at Mentouri University, Constantine, in Eastern Algeria from the 16-17 June 2010, with the 18th of June devoted to a tourist trip in the region.
are expected to arrive at Constantine on Tuesday June 15, and depart on
the Thursday evening, Friday evening or Saturday morning according to whether or not
they take part in the Friday out-of-town tourist trip.
The Algerian currency is the Dinar (DA), the approximate current exchange rate is: 1 Euro #120 DA. Change can be made at the air terminals at Algiers and Constantine and at various banks in town. (Transactions are rarely carried out using credit cards in Algeria, traveler checks at banks are OK). The currency rate at the banks and in the black market being close to each other, it is not a good idea to change money in the street. Note however that the Algerian currency is not convertible, so you should only change what you need.
Public Transportation
Center city stands on the "main rock" and so is rather compact: all the places to be visited there are at walking distance. You may use " Taxis" to go to other parts of the city. Participants will be taken from the hotel to the University and vice versa by a special bus.
Shopping Hours
Shopping hours are generally from 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays; some shops are closed on Friday. Remember that in Algeria the weekend is on Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday.
Public phones are either pay-phones or card-phones. Pay-phones operate with 5 and 10 DA coins. Card-phones can be used for international calls at some public phone boots: For dialing abroad, start by dialing 00, then dial the country code, etc. Phone calls may be also made from the "taxiphones" and the hotels.
Constantine is situated in the continental temperate zone, the weather in June is usually warm, 26 C and above, but surge of hot weather is quite possible. Rainy conditions can also occur during that period but it is rather uncommon.
Arrival at Constantine
Constantine Mohamed Boudiaf Airport is located at about 10 km from
the center of the city. Participants arriving on Tuesday June 15 and Wednesday
morning June 16, will be met ar the airport. Otherwise special arrangements
will need to be made. Please in all cases, inform the organizing committee
of your exact date and time of arrival.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls are 19 for information, and 17 for the police.
Previous Workshops
Constantine University, renamed Mentouri University in 1998, is an important landmark in the region's geography and culture. When it opened its doors for the first time in 1962, it was an annex of Algiers University and offered a very limited range of academic disciplines. Because of the tremendous increase in the student population, a new University was built on the Ain Bey plateau, visible from most parts of the city and the surrounding area. It is the actual main campus, the so called Ain-Bey campus. Conceived by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, it was inaugurated in 1971. Nowadays, it is the home for 24 departments and 35.000 students. The main library with its 700 seats, is holding some 250.000 books and offers audio-visual, Braille, and Internet services.
Several new campuses were added later: the Chaabat ar-Rassass campus which houses most of the engineering and related departments; the Zarzara campus further along the road to the airport from the main campus, which is housing the architecture, civil engineering, and electronics departments; and the latest major extension,
the imposing Tedjini Haddam campus (In center) was inaugurated in the 2000, and is the home for the business and administrative sciences.
"Constantine is a Toledo in quest of a Greco". Albert Camus.
A Special Place to be:
Once in Constantine, and wherever he goes in the city, the visitor will always meet something which will both puzzle him and satisfy his senses. Just a general glance at the natural beauty of the site will charm any demanding viewer. From the Sidi M'cid Bridge, often called the Suspended Bridge, one can look down upon rocky cliffs and see the Rhummel River. Beginning as a small stream tumbling over a rocky bed, the water course becomes deeper and deeper as it follows a natural course down the canyon. by the time the river has reached the Falls bridge, the air is filled with mist and the noise is deafening. As it continues to roar its way down the valley, finally emerging into the sunshine, the visitor has seen one of the true beauties of Constantine...
In the morning...
Up the slippery rocks, the town wakes up and comes out of the misty morning like a goddess revealing all her jewelry and beauty; the red roofs, the blue skies and the green gardens. Once the visitor has seen al this perfection and splendor, he can with no reluctance say that the legend belongs to him.
Geographic situation:
Constantine, Qacentina in Arabic, is situated at 36°23` of latitude and 6°37`of longitude in the Northeastern part of Algeria. It is 245 km east of the Tunisian border, 431km west of Algiers, 89 km south of Skikda, and 235 km north of Batna. The altitude above sea level varies from between 400 and 800 meters in the North, to 800m to 1200m in the South.
With more than 800.000 inhabitants, Constantine stands as the third largest city in Algeria.
As a way of conclusion
Constantine is one of the few places in the world which can offer a combination of joy, wonderment, serenity, and centuries of majestic history having withstood invaders from many different lands and cultures. Its rocky stature, virtuous waters, mild rehearsal of light, charming silhouettes beyond all reach, resonance of beautiful music flying back and forth under the imposing and silent bridges, served as an inspiration to poets and musicians.
Cirta, Opullentissima, Qacentina, Constantine is like a gift of eternity created as a beautiful and everlasting mosaic encompassing time and space.
Come and enjoy!
Quotable Quotes on Constantine
is one of the strongest places in the world. It dominates vast tracts
of cultivated plains sowed with wheat and barley."
"...La seule
chose importante que j'ai vue jusqu'a présent, c'est Constantine, le pays
de Jugurtha. Il y un ravin démesuré, qui entoure la ville. C'est une chose
formidable et qui donne le vertige, je me suis promené en dessous, a pieds,
et dedans, à cheval. Des gypaètes tournoyaient dans le ciel".
"Un cri
d'admiration, presque de stupeur. Au fond d'une gorge sombre, sur la crête
d'une montagne baignant dans les derniers reflets rougeâtres d'un soleil
couchant, apparaissait une ville fantastique, quelque chose comme l'île
volante de Gulliver".
"Une clef
pour Constantine, une clef pour mon coeur, pour cet itinéraire qui s'en
va et revient dans le merveilleux désordre des refrains décousus... Un
fellah est venu apporter des fleurs et du lait. Des enfants jouent. Un
minaret appelle. Le Rhumel persiste dans son audace...Le Rhumel s'en souvient,
les corneilles s'en souviennent. Et les cigognes qui nichent sur les toits
du quartier des Tanneurs, quand elles nous quittaient aux premiers froids,
s'en allaient raconter aux quatre coins de l'Afrique et du monde arabe
que le jour se levait sur la terre algérienne".

9/8/16 – Energy Office Receives Information on Best Practices for Deployment of a DCFC Charging Corridor
The Governor's Energy Office (GEO), on behalf of the Québec-Maine Electric Vehicle Corridor Task Force, issued a Request-for-Information (RFI) in August 2016. The RFI asked parties interested in the deployment and operation of an EV Charging Station Corridor between the Quebec border and southern Maine to submit any information that would assist the Task Force in its planning and implementation of a reliable and accessible system of charging stations. The GEO received the following responses (listed in alphabetical order):
- ABB, Inc. (PDF)
- Broadband Telecom Power, Inc. (PDF)
- Car Charging Group, Inc. (PDF)
- Chargepoint (PDF)
- Conservation Law Foundation (PDF)
- Energetics, Inc. (PDF)
- EV Charge Solutions (PDF)
- Plug In America (PDF)
- Verdek, LLC (MS Word)
- Zeco Systems, Inc. DBA Greenlots (PDF)
7/21/14 - Energy Office Seeks Public Input on State Energy Plan
The Governor's Energy Office (GEO) is updating the state's Comprehensive Energy Plan, and is seeking comments from the public on how Maine should continue to move forward to reduce energy costs, and plan for the next decade.
"The state's energy outlook has changed dramatically since 2008, which is when the last Comprehensive Energy Plan was developed," stated Energy Office Director Patrick Woodcock. "New technology has reshaped energy markets, creating new opportunities for Maine. At the same time, this past winter revealed that our state's energy challenges are severe. We must work to expand the use of cost-effective and clean energy to power our state's businesses, keep more money in our residents' pockets, and make the strategic energy investments that will make us more economically competitive and a more affordable place to live."
The GEO is using several documents as the foundation for the new plan: The 2013 oil reduction assessment report (PDF) and policy recommendations (PDF), and the 2008 Comprehensive plan (PDF). In addition, the GEO has compiled some "Energy Fast Facts (PDF)" that will also become part of the plan.
The Energy Office is seeking public comments through Friday, August 15, 2014. Please send electronic comments to Lisa Smith, Senior Planner with the GEO: email@example.com. Written comments can also be mailed to: Governor's Energy Office, 62 State House Station, Augusta, Maine, 04333-0062; Attn: Comprehensive Plan Update. The Energy Office also welcomes meeting with the public on development of the plan.
7/21/14 - Energy Office Seeks Proposals to Assess Maine's Unrealized Hydropower Potential with New Technology
The GEO is currently updating the state's Comprehensive Energy Plan, and, as part of this process, has identified a need for a current inventory of the state's hydropower resources, as well as recommendations for regulatory modifications that could expand economic opportunities through additional production, consistent with the state's environmental objectives.
"Maine has not assessed its hydropower resources since the early 1990s," stated Energy Office Director Patrick Woodcock. "Since that time, additional technologies have been developed, some right here in Maine, and numerous studies from the Department of Energy have highlighted significant hydropower potential. It is time to review whether we can expand our hydropower resources with these new technologies, in a manner that works for our environment as well as our economy."
The updated inventory will identify sites that could be developed for small and micro facilities, untapped potential at existing hydropower sites, and hydrokinetic resources (energy produced from currents, waves, and river flows). The study will also provide recommendations for regulatory changes to encourage increased production at existing facilities, as well as from new, smaller, unconventional resources.
"While the state's previous plans envisioned significant new hydro dams, we are reviewing whether smaller facilities with modern technology can produce stable and competitive energy production," stated Woodcock. "We are looking for ways to augment our existing hydropower production, while avoiding the debates of the past."
Potential bidders can obtain a copy of the Request for Proposals from Lisa Smith, RFP Coordinator: firstname.lastname@example.com, or by calling 624-7445. Thank you.

Dear Colleagues
As you are aware earlier this year the Royal Pharmaceutical Society updated the RPS Professional Standards for Hospital Pharmacy Services, a summary of the changes to the standards can be found on the RPS website at www.rpharms.com/hospitalstandards.
The refreshed standards give more emphasis to key themes including the need to increase patient involvement and feedback in the development, delivery and improvement of pharmacy services. One area that members putting the standards into practice locally have asked us for support with is how to capture patient experience in a meaningful way. In response to this we want to identify and share good practice from across GB and as a starting point we are writing to you to ask for examples of how patient experience is being collected and/or measured in your area.
If your organisation currently measures (or has plans to measure) patient experience we would very much like to hear from you; please do get in touch with Miriam Gichuhi ([email protected]) with details by Friday 28th November 2014 . Additionally, if you would like to be involved in the further development of our work around patient experience we would love to hear from you.

As you've probably figured out by now, I'm a big believer that music and fashion go hand in hand. So why oh why are good band T-shirts so hard to come by? Great prints aren't an issue, all my favourite bands have awesome designs, it's the fit that's the problem. Next time you're at a gig, swing by the merch table and take a look at the women's T-shirts. I'll bet you any money you like that you can't find a flattering one.
Presumably most people are under the assumption that women are either completely square-shaped or that girls who go to gigs plain don't care about the way their clothes fit. I'm not sure which of these two notions offends me more, but it's safe to say that no matter how much I love a band, I won't be wearing their T-shirt if it's too short, too wide and printed on cheap fabric that will change shape beyond recognition after one wash.
I've digressed a little… this post wasn't meant to be a rant, but a way to share the solution with my fellow non-square band loving women. The first lesson took me well over a decade to learn (not sure why common sense evaded me for so long!) but it was life changing: ignore the ladies stuff and buy a man's extra small. It will be longer, narrower and so much more flattering!
This solution works fairly well at gigs, but if you're looking for a few classics, my personal recommendation is that you head over to Amplified Clothing. They have a good selection, a great fit and a range of T-shirts, vests and jumpers for men and women. It also feels much more respectable than when your average high-street chain stocks band T-shirts on a whim.
You know what I mean… you happen to see a great design and you're sorely tempted to make a purchase because for once the fit looks great, but you don't. Because you know that up and down the country the very same T-shirt is being mass purchased by an army of tweens who have no idea who the fuck Nirvana were, nor an inclination to find out.
If anyone else knows of any places to buy band T-shirts for girls who care about clothes I'd love to hear about them! In the meantime let's hope bands get their act together. The fact that several guys have thrown men's T-shirts they bought at gigs my way because the size or fit was all wrong just goes to show…. I'm not just being a total princess, boys care about these things too.

So you're a guy. A nice, decent guy; you've got your head screwed on right. And you want to talk about feminism.
Look, it's understandable. You've got all the feelz, all the opinions, and the sexist behaviour of some of your fellow men just makes you sad. Heck, some of your best friends are women.
But bro, there are a few things you've got to realise before you open your mouth.
You are not a feminist. This may come as a shock but there it is. Deal with it.
You are not a feminist. So important, I'm saying it again. That thing between your legs counts you out.
You're barking up the wrong tree. It isn't feminism that men should be talking about; it's sexism. Let's face it, the only reason feminism exists, the only reason it NEEDS to exist is because men have been sexist since day one.
It's not about you. I mean really… what do you think you can add to a debate about feminism that hasn't already been covered by, you know… females?
It's really not about you. Hate to labour the point but here it is. Any guy who publicly stands up for feminism is looking for validation that they are not sexist. Simple as that.
It's really, really not about you. Seriously bro, you need to understand this. Don't hold yourself up as proof that "not all men are bastards" because the only people you're proving it to is other men.
Zip it. The absolute best thing you can do. We blokes have been telling everyone what to do for so long that we don't know how to stop. And the best of intentions don't make it any less AAAARRRGGHHHHH-worthy. So shut up.
Pay attention. This is the tricky bit. Forget about sharing your feelz and try listening for a while. Mull it over, chew on it for a bit, see how it tastes. Chances are it'll taste bitter for a while; it should.
You are not a feminist. I know, I'm repeating myself but this can take a while to sink in.
There's a bunch of other stuff I could say but that pretty much sums it up. It's not rocket science, gentlemen.
Want to talk about feminism?
Leave it to the experts.

Empanelment, sometimes referred to as rostering, is a process that assigns responsibility for the delivery of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative care for individuals and populations to specific health care facilities, teams or providers.
Although elements of empanelment are implemented in health systems across the globe, there is no universally accepted definition of the term. The JLN People-Centered Integrated Care (PCIC) collaborative, facilitated by Ariadne Labs and Qualis Health, is working to refine and harmonize the existing definitions of empanelment into one encompassing understanding to ensure global relevance and incorporate a people-centered, integrated approach to this foundational area of primary care service delivery.
The PCIC collaborative gathered in Accra, Ghana, in March 2018, for its second meeting to continue the work set out at the October 2017 scoping workshop. Country representatives built on their previous work, including the sharing of their experiences and co-creation of a knowledge product that will accelerate two foundational elements of high-functioning primary care systems – empanelment and the effective use of multidisciplinary teams. Twenty-one participants representing Ghana, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Mongolia, South Korea, Sudan and Vietnam attended the three-day workshop.
Country Experiences with Empanelment and Multidisciplinary Teams
The sharing of country experiences with empanelment and multidisciplinary teams was one of the highlights of the collaborative meeting. Dr. Nik Mazlina, a family medicine specialist in Malaysia's Ministry of Health, discussed how they were able to increase patient enrollment from 23 percent to 60 percent in one month by going door-to-door to identify and assign patients to specific clinics. Participants discovered that Indonesia, Ghana and Sudan had also used door-to-door strategies.
Dr. Jargalsaikhan Badarch, an associate professor, researcher and lecturer at the Mongolian National University of Medical Science, described a similar door-to-door household approach performed by Visiting Home Services teams, which provide registration services 2-3 times a year to enroll all populations. These teams – made up of a physician, nurse, public health worker, and a driver – also offer telehealth services that provide free health check-ups and screening tests to remote populations who would not otherwise be able to access these services.
Participants also discussed how empanelment leads to effective utilization of teams, representing an important conceptual link between the collaborative's two areas of focus. Another link occurs when community-based members of a multi-disciplinary primary health care team offer contextual local knowledge of the individuals and families assigned to a facility. These team members are a critical link to individuals in a geographic region who may not be on a list for empanelment due to not utilizing primary care services.
Empanelment in Ghana's Health System
Dr. Isaac Morrison, president of the Society of Private Medical and Dental Practitioners in Ghana, provided the participants with an overview of the Ghanaian health system. Ghana is divided into ten regions, each of which operates within specific legislative frameworks to provide health care to its population. The district, subdistrict and community levels of the Ghanaian health system make up the country's primary health care system.
For example, the community level is the first level of contact a patient would have with a health care worker. These community-level services are provided at community-based health planning and service compounds. These compounds provide cost-effective and basic quality services to up to 5,000 people and are operated by a district management team.
The collaborative organized a site visit to the Shai Osudoku district in the Greater Accra Region with the Ghana Health Services Head Office and the National Health Insurance Authority. Collaborative members visited the Shai Osudoku district offices, Shai Odsukou District Hospital and Ayikuma compound. At each of these facilities, the participants learned about the district's innovative work.
At the Ayikuma compound, participants learned how community health nurses and health workers reach out to members of the community to conduct health screenings, provide antenatal care delivery and deliver health education. At community durbar meetings, community members discuss local priorities for health and sanitation and plan focal activities for the compound. Seeing Ghana's health care system in action provided context for the rest of the discussions and for the collaborative's work going forward.
Next Steps
After considering a range of resources that might be helpful for countries striving to implement or improve empanelment, the collaborative has decided to develop two products. First, the collaborative will prepare a monograph that includes a consensus definition of empanelment and description of its fundamental role in delivering PCIC to individuals and populations in the context of universal health care. The document will outline key steps in the implementation of empanelment.
The collaborative will also co-develop a tool that will allow countries to assess their status and monitor progress towards implementation of effective empanelment. The tool will address domains such as enabling policies, availability of appropriate information systems and use of panels to provide proactive care. The tool will be designed to assist countries in focusing their efforts on the areas that need the most improvement.
The collaborative will continue to work on these resources and will host a third meeting in 2018 to finalize the products.

A Christmas card may be a card sent for a part of this normal celebration of the Christmas whilst to convey between individuals a regarding sentiments associated with the Christmas and vacation season. Christmas cards are exchanged around the weeks continuing Christmas Day by numerous us in Western countries and in Asia.

Seems unlikely (not a defensive midfielder to compete with Gunnar) but who knows?
Was our best outfield player in the last premier season. Strong, direct and always looking to get forward. I think hes a really good fit for a Warnock team.
Injury prone though and hasn't done anything since leaving us, even flopped on loan at reading.
Could go either way
Scraping the barrell.
Spends far too much time injured, I'm shocked that he's only 27, he's been in the wilderness for 3 years.
Who would drop out of the squad to accomodate him, Damour?
Only 2 years older than Ralls
If hes a free transfer, im sure we could be interested.
But wow,always injured and has gone backwards since he left.
Get the feeling it may just happen though
He scored a screamer for the Vancouver Whitecaps recently but he's apparently not a regular starter for them. I'd hope we were aiming higher than a player who isn't first choice for his team in the MLS.
No thanks
Gosh no ,that time has gone if he was any good he'd be in a championship side at least
Never go back.
I don't think the rest of his game was that good though and he's been awfully injury prone since. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Please no
Overwhelmingly no then ?
If this is the standard of player you sign in January relegation is inevitable. We had him on loan st Reading in January 17. He was useless and played a small number of games. You need a lot better than Mutch.
Mutch ado about nothing.
I'm reluctant to be too critical of Vincent Tan because of his large debt to equity conversion in the summer, but, if we are really trying to sign Jordon Mutch, given how his career has gone since he left us, you've got to wonder as to the thinking by those in charge of the club's finances. We're in a league where nineteen of the twenty clubs give the impression that they will fight tooth and nail to stay in the division and the other one is acting almost as if relegation is expected.
What has Mutch done to make anyone think that he can make a difference to the chances of us staying up? My only hope with all of this is that it's been reported Neil Warnock wants someone to give us cover for Gunnar in the defensive midfielder stakes - if that is really the case, then I can't see how there can be anything to this story because that was never Mutch's position,
Surely we would be better off re-signing Gregg Halford as cover than Mutch ? Not that Im advocating this quality of signing for us.
I'd rather give Pilks or Tomlin a shot in the squad than sign someone like Mutch. Hard to believe there is any truth to this, maybe he just has a good agent.
He didn't really stand out at all in MLS, but he didn't seem to get a consistent run until later in the season due to injuries, manager change (Carl Robinson was sacked), etc.
Mutch's agent must have put some media overtime In ,over the last few weeks.

So this last Friday, I took a visit to Barnes & Noble for the first time in a long time and did what I normally do. I scanned the YA aisles.
I find that this proves incredibly useful in surmising what the current trends are in YA, as well as raising the chances of me finding a new favorite book.
While there, I spotted a certain title that I have had my eye on for nearly a year: "Brightly Woven" by Alexandra Bracken. It was in paperback and I took no hesitation to grab it immediately. It also helped that after tweeting about it, I got a strong recommendation from a follower.
The other title was spotted by me accidentially. Right as I was about to pay for the novel I was holding, I spotted a familiar name. "Mandy Hubbard."
I've followed Mrs. Hubbard on Twitter for quite some time, so I quickly grabbed my copy of "Ripple" and proceeded to claim my two new prizes.
I haven't had a chance to read either one yet, but I have a good feeling I'll probably enjoy both.

|At the Theater/ Woman with a Fan 1878-80 lithograph
A Strange New Beauty
Exhibition at MoMA
(Selected Images - Issue #1)
During the 1880s in Paris, a new technique "monotype" emerged and certainly intrigued artist Edgar Degas. A monotype is a transfer print made from an original work being painted on glass or stone, that is then transferred to paper as a UNIQUE one -of-a-kind print. Often the artist would work back into the print with various media.
Most of the works in this exhibition are shown very rarely, and for that reason the exhibition is so very interesting.
Below is a small sample of the exhibition at Museum of Modern Art, NYC titled:
Edgar Degas: A Strange New Beauty.
(There are some seldom shown etchings, lithographs and oil paintings in this exhibition as well.)

When it comes to interactive marketing, where everyone is constantly scanning for the next big thing, there's big potential everywhere, but in the words of Jerry Maguire, it's like popcorn in the pan: some pop, some don't. So lets take a look at some recent properties that had strong buzz in the last year, but didn't quite hit those high expectations.
1. Second Life. Yes, you can argue that certain specific brands were able to effectively leverage a presence in Second Life for some significant ROI, but on the whole, the platform hasn't yet lived up to the hype it received in its early days.
Why not? Because the vast majority of consumers are overtaxed trying to keep up with their first life, much less a digital second one.
2. Myspace. As with Second Life, some industries (the music industry in particular) have had great success with Myspace as a marketing platform. But other industries are rapidly losing interest in favor of its collegiate cousin, Facebook and its inviting open API.
Why not? Because most brands lack the understanding and willingness to commit time and resources to effective social network marketing. And it's just not a great fit for every company.
3. Ask.com. This time last year, industry insider buzz was pointing to Ask.com as a hot contender to seriously challenge Google in search. A year later, Ask has yet to make a serious dent in Google's search dominance.
Why not? It may be that Ask waited too long. Improved results and a snazzier algorithm isn't enough to take on Google, now that their acquisitions take them far beyond search.
4. YouTube. When Google made its historic purchase of the video portal, speculation ran wild that online video was going to completely take over interactive marketing. While video continues to grow, the pace has been decidedly slower than some expected.
Why not? The head geeks at Google are still wrapping their prodigious minds around both the copyright implications of YouTube and developing a workable revenue model. YouTube will probably live up to the buzz eventually, but the industry may have expected too much, too soon.
5. Mobile. Technological innovations that enable marketers to advertise across networks has created tremendous interest in mobile and SMS marketing in the last year, but so far advertisers have been slow to test the waters.
Why not? Considering the wide penetration cell phones and other mobile devices have, this one is probably more a matter of time than anything else. Once an effective infrastructure is in place and some key industry leaders emerge, mobile truly could be the next big thing.

Golf Tip #6: Ball Positioning
During a round it is not timely to make major changes to your golf swing.
However it is vitally important for everyone who wants to play well to pay close attention to these 3 areas:
1. posture
2. ball position
3. pre-shot routine.
Your posture is so important because a small change in how you stand can cause major variations in your shot making.
Be particularly careful with your ball position. The ball flight, the carry and the shape of the shot can all be influenced by the position of the ball.
Now is the time to establish or review your pre-shot routine. Challenge yourself to perform this routine before every shot. Check how many times you actually do this routine on your next round of golf.

State Wars
Posted by Chris Liebenthal on January 20, 2011
With many states being under new management, or in Wisconsin's case, new manglement, there is a shuffling of stances and various states playing different hands while trying to take on their own state's fiscal mess.
Speaking to reporters in Madison, Walker acknowledged tax rates will remain lower in Illinois than in Wisconsin even after the increase is approved. But he promised he would lower Wisconsin's income and corporate tax rates before his term ends in 2015, though he stopped short of saying he would seek to set them below the rates in Illinois.
"If you're a company, you make an assessment not just on where things are today but where they're headed," Walker said.
Comparing taxes between different states can be tricky, but Wisconsin's corporate tax rate is 7.9% and its income tax rates vary from 4.6% to 7.75%, depending on the taxpayer's income. The legislation waiting to be signed by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, would raise the state's corporate tax rate to 7% from 4.8% and raise the state's income tax to 5% from 3%.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, invited Illinois businesses to relocate to his state, but J. Fred Giertz, a University of Illinois economics professor, says an immediate exodus isn't likely.
Companies, he says, weigh workforce availability, transportation and other factors when deciding where to build or expand. "Our state is close to insolvency, and they don't like that either," he says.
"An immediate job killer? Not likely," says Ed Morrison, economic policy adviser at Indiana's Purdue Center for Regional Development. "Much more important is regaining financial stability."
