A New Measure of Core Inflation
AbstractWhile the Bank of Canada's inflation-control target is specified in terms of the rate of increase in the total consumer price index, the Bank uses a measure of trend or "core" inflation as a short-term guide for its monetary policy actions. When the inflation targets were renewed in May 2001, the Bank announced that it was adopting a new measure of core inflation. This measure excludes the eight most volatile components of the CPI and adjusts the remaining components for the effect of changes in indirect taxes. In this article, the author discusses the definition of the new measure of core inflation and describes some of its advantages relative to the previous measure. He notes that the new measure has a firmer statistical basis, has a better correspondence with economic theory, and does a better job of predicting future changes in overall inflation. While the new measure has these advantages, the Bank will continue to monitor a broad range of indicators when assessing the likely future path for inflation.

Topic - Looking for winter work in scotland
BenAlsford - on 09 Nov 2012
Hi everyone,
I'm an instructor currently based in Llanberis. I've been working at a crisis center for young people with very challenging behaviours and I'm looking at getting away to Scotland for the winter season to get as much climbing and skiing in as I can.
I currently don't have any winter qualifications but I'm hoping to start on my WML this year. I am a bangor university graduate, have SPA and ML, have done a bit of rope access, have worked for Collett's Mountain holidays, done a winter in Utah and have worked in bars/on building sites so can turn my hand to most things. Does anyone know of any work going in the Cairngorms/Glencoe/Fort William areas? I'm not looking to make loads of money, just a job to get enough for accommodation etc but still have time to get out.
Any help would be greatly Appriciated,

Nissan Sentra vs. Toyota Yaris Reliability Comparisons
You won't find Nissan Sentra or Toyota Yaris reliability information like this anywhere else. Actual repair frequencies, not just vague dots, to make it clear how much the Nissan Sentra and the Toyota Yaris truly differ in reliability.
These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to much more closely track Nissan Sentra and Toyota Yaris reliability as the cars age. Others tell you how reliable the Nissan Sentra and the Toyota Yaris were a year ago, when the cars were a year younger and had 12,000 fewer miles on them. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Nissan Sentra and the Toyota Yaris have been recently.
See only powertrain and chassis results
Nissan Sentra and Toyota Yaris Reliability for the Year Ending June 30, 2014
Any result under 5 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.
An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

Depression Health Center
Drug + Therapy Combo Best for Teen Depression
Aug. 17, 2004 -- Treating depressed teenagers with a combination of antidepressants and psychotherapy is better than either treatment approach alone, according to a major new study.
The results also suggest that combining antidepressant treatment with talk therapy may help alleviate some of the potentially harmful or suicidal behaviors that may be associated with antidepressant use.
Researchers found more teenagers with major depression got relief and were effectively treated for their condition with a combination of Prozac, one of a class of commonly used antidepressants known as SSRIs, and cognitive behavioral therapy than with antidepressants, psychotherapy, or placebo alone.
The study also showed that the combination of Prozac and cognitive behavioral therapy produced the greatest reduction in suicidal thinking among the different treatment approaches. However, researchers found an increase in harm-related adverse events associated with antidepressant use that may be tempered by behavioral therapy.
"The greatest benefit at the lowest risk is not to use medication alone but to use it in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy," says researcher John March, MD, MPH, of Duke University Medical Center.
Earlier this year, the FDA warned parents and health care providers that children and adolescents taking antidepressants should be closely monitored for worsening depression and suicidal thinking, especially at the start of treatment. FDA officials are currently reviewing data on a possible link between antidepressant use and suicide risk in children and is expected to discuss their findings at a meeting next month.
Comparing Teen Depression Treatments
Researchers say antidepressants are widely used in treating children and adolescents with depression, but previous studies have produced mixed results on the benefits vs. risks associated with these medications.
In this study, published in the Aug. 18 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers compared the effectiveness of four different treatment approaches in 439 children and teens aged 12-17 with major depression. The children were randomly assigned to receive a combination of Prozac and behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy alone, Prozac alone, or a placebo (sugar pill) for 12 weeks.
The cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) used in the study was a skills-oriented treatment that is based on changing negative thought patterns and increasing active, positive behaviors. The treatment consisted of 15, 50-60 minute sessions.
At the end of the treatment period, researchers found 71% of the patients responded to the combination depression treatment compared with 61% of those on Prozac alone, 43% of those who received behavioral therapy, and 35% of those on placebo.
"The take-home message is that the initial treatment of choice for kids with major depression should be the combination of [Prozac] and cognitive behavioral therapy," March tells WebMD.
Antidepressants and Suicide Risk
Last year, the FDA and health officials in the U.K. issued safety warnings regarding another SSRI, Paxil, after a study showed an increased risk of suicidal thinking and attempts among children taking the drug. But officials say it is not yet clear whether antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in depressed persons who inherently face a higher risk of suicide without adequate treatment.

"We carry our own soundtrack with us wherever we go, and the world around us is overlaid with our music. Our whole life becomes a movie, and we can alter the score for it over and over again…Energetic, dreamy, or ominous and dark: everyone has their own private movie going on in their heads, and no two are the same. That said, the twentieth-century philosopher Theodor Adorno, ever the complainer, called this situation "accompanied solitude," a situation where we might be alone, but we have the ability via music to create the illusion that we are not. In his somewhat Marxist way, he viewed music as an opiate, especially popular music." -David Byrne, How Music Works.

|GRN Recycle Talk FAQ
Date: Fri, 3 Jan 97 09:09 WET From: firstname.lastname@example.com (Fred Friedman) Subject: Re: Solvents to remove labels (Eric Acha)
January 3, 1997
Dear Eric Acha,
I ve conducted a little research into your question. The direct answer is that, yes there are solvents for this, but what one you use depends upon the context in which you are using it, i.e. an industrial context will be able to handle some of the more problemmatic solvents that will say a municipally-owned Materials Recovery Facility. The problem lies in the toxicity/hazardous nature of many solvents adequate to the job. You don t want to be creating a worse environmental problem than the one you were trying to solve. Acetone, for example, would probably work on most labels bonded to most plastics, but will cause more hazardous waste than you will want to deal with.
The environmentally sounder alternatives have to do with changing the stock used in labels and especially in adhesives. However, if you aren t in a position to influence the front end (yet) I would call the manufacturer of the plastic and get their recommendation for a solvent for the labels (and you should specifically ask after the Context in which their recommendation is appropriate.
Now, generally in the literature, there are some specific nonhazardous alternatives that have been posed, which you might also investigate. One of them is talc; another is very dilute acetic acid; another is so-called dispersants or dispergers (but these are for industrial contexts).
Call the Research Library for RCRA (617-565-3282) if none of these suggestions are relevant, and we can talk further.

Chicken Stock in Crock Pot
- gansu girl Sep 28, 2008 06:12 AM
OK, I'll admit it. I'm a stock novice. I haven't made it on the stove b/c it takes too long. But lately I've been reading about making it in the Crock Pot. My kid is HEAVY into Campbell's soup right now, and it's freaking me out . . . would like to make my own chicken stock w/fun noodles and real chicken and save her from all that salt, BPA, artificial color, etc. etc.
I've searched the board and found some posts, but it seems folks are using leftover bones from roasted chicken. I also understand that people think that using cooked bones can add flavor complexity - but I do not often have cooked bones around, and I'm not sure how much my Campbell's-lovin' kindergartener will appreciate the complexity anyway!
Can I just stick some RAW chicken parts in there, fill the pot w/water, add some seasonings and veggies and let 'er rip for 12 hours or so?
Your idea is fine. I have never liked the notion (or even the smell) of using dry old bones from the freezer. I use a pressure cooker to save time, but I have used the crock pot overnight, with good results. Two suggestions: cram those chicken parts into the pot densely, and then fill with water to the top of the chicken and vegs, lightly salted; add 1/2 pig's foot to increase the gel content. You'll get a rich stock for soup and sauces, and you can probably get some shredded meat from the parts.
My main source for chicken parts (backs and necks) is an Asian market where they are fresh and inexpensive.
re: jayt90
Any idea of the ratio of pig feet to chicken feet for the same effect? I know my grandmother used chicken feet. It's mazto ball soup season and pork is banned from my home.
re: TampaAurora
One-half pig's foot is about 8 ounces. This works well for a yield of 4 qt or 1 gal. stock. so 1/2 pound chicken feet should be OK, but if there is more, it will be slightly richer. I haven't had this but my Mennonite relatives say chicken feet and lots of fresh savory makes the best soup!
I do it all the time now. Often with bones left over from de-boning chicken breasts, but sometimes with fresh chicken parts when they're on sale. When drumsticks are cheap, I'll pick up a bunch, throw them in the crock pot with carrots, an onion or leek, parsley, celery, a garlic clove or two, a spoonful of peppercorns and just a touch of salt. Add water to cover generously and switch the cooker to high. Cook for a couple of hours, then turn down to low and let it go for 8 to 10 hours. I'll often start the stock after dinner and let it cook overnight.
In the morning, strain the broth, discard the solids (or feed to dog/cat/husband) and chill so that you can easily remove the fat. I prefer to leave skin on the chicken when I do this because I think it adds flavour, but it does also add plenty of fat so you have to get rid of it.
Once you have your de-fatted stock, add fresh carrots, celery, noodles and whatever else you like and you have the best, easiest, cheapest, healthiest chicken soup possible. If you're trying to wean your kid off canned stuff, make sure that you use plenty of chicken when making the stock so that the flavour isn't wishy-washy. Also more salt than you think is healthy - you can reduce this as your child gets accustomed to the more natural flavours of real soup. But at first she/he may find it lacks punch because the canned stuff is full of flavour-enhancers.
I go to the Asian market near me and they have bags of chicken or beef bones for making stock. For chicken I use raw but for beef I brown them in the oven first. The crock pot sounds like a good idea, but we threw ours out a year or so ago as we never seemed to use it & it took up valuable space.
I started making chicken stock in my crock pot about a year ago after reading about it on this board. It really is the easiest, most foolproof way of getting lovely, clear stock. Yes, you can use raw chicken parts with no problem. However, if you want a deeper color, you can always toss all your chicken parts into a 450 degree oven for a bit to roast 'em up before dropping them into your crock pot. The veggies can be roasted, too, if you'd like. And Nyleve is so right about the sodium content of pre-made broths/soups. Your son may find your homemade soup "bland" at first, so definitely make sure you salt your soup sufficiently. Trust me, regardless of how much salt you add yourself, it will still be significantly less sodium than a can of Campbell's soup! BTW, I tend to add salt after making the stock, rather than adding salt to the crock pot mixture. I find it easier to control the final taste that way.
Good suggestions. Something I did for my soup lover kid was make a batch of noodles boiled in salted water and keep them in a zip lock bag or container. They will last several days. Leave them a bit wet before storing and they won't stick too much. The stock/broth should be made ahead of time so you can de-fat it properly. Chicken can be pre-poached and shredded. Then your "instant chicken soup" is simply a matter of heating the stock/broth (maybe have to de-frost first if you are storing quantity), simmer some carrots in it, adjust seasoning, and toss in noodles and chicken meat to heat through before serving. A steaming bowl in barely more than it takes to open the can and heat. You may have to play with the seasoning to get it to your child's liking. Mine liked it with a bit of Maggi powder (I know) and asked for his own pepper grinder.
Thanks for all these helpful replies - an update: I went to our Asian supermarket and got myself a chicken carcass ($1.29!) and tossed that, a couple of huge onions, a couple of huge carrots and a few cloves of smashed garlic in the crock last night around 7 p.m. This a.m. the house smells delicious and there is a bubbling crock of beautiful golden stock in the kitchen! I'm going to get busy w/it after I do the school run, but I think this is going to be a big success. Thanks everyone!
re: MaxCaviar
Even with a large Dutch oven, the convenience of the crock pot for relatively small amounts of stock is still worth it. If I need a huge vat of chicken broth for a big dinner, I'll do it the conventional stove-top way. If I have a pound or two of chicken bits to use up, I'll do the crock pot. I just would never leave a Dutch oven cooking on the stove top overnight, no matter how low the heat.
re: Nyleve
No argument, the crock pot is more convenient. After all, you just remove the ceramic bowl and toss in the dishwasher, whereas I have to scrub my DO thoroughly. But I'm one of those people who has an irrational like for anything cast iron.
As to the matter of unattended heat, I can put the DO in my oven and set the timer so it shuts off by itself.
You can absolutely use raw chicken parts. Wings, necks, and feet will give you an unctuous and tasty stock. If you're using thighs, legs, or breasts, I'd pull them out once the meat is done, pull the meat off the bone, and toss the bones back in to cook some more. Then you can add the meat back to the soup when it's time to serve it up. If you let the meat cook the whole time, it will be flavorless, dry, and stringy.
I routinely make chicken stock in the crock pot. Put four raw leg-thigh pieces in with one large chopped onion and two or three chopped ribs of celery, plus salt. I fill the crockpot with water within an inch of the top and nothing terrible has happened. Cook a long time (like overnight). Strain through a colander into a mixing bowl. You can then refrigerate the stock conveniently in large Mason jars or freeze it in pints or quarts or just make soup of it. If you want to de-fat it, the jars make this easy as the fat congeals on top. BTW the chicken meat will be useless for further duty---the flavor is played out and it's very shreddy, plus it's full of treacherous little bone bits. I have valiantly tried to utilize it and have given up. Also, I have made crock-pot stock using the carcass of a roast chicken. The stock is not as chickeny and flavorful but the method is do-able.
re: Querencia
Whenever we pick up a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store we do that. I just remove the meat for whatever meal we are having then chuck the carcass in the crock pot with the usual accompaniments. Perfect every time. And stock is EXPENSIVE these days, not to mention flavorless.
re: MaxCaviar
This is how I made my chicken broth. I strained it twice and put it in containers in the fridge. I just took a peek. It isn't gelatinous and has quite a bit of sediment on the bottom. Should I toss it? Everyone says how easy it is, but it took a lot of my attention for two days, and the result was disappointing. I'm not sure I'll try it again. Not even sure what I did wrong.
re: Maremacd
Well, no, of course don't toss it. Just simmer it down until it has enough flavor. You probably just didn't use enough bones for the amount of water you used. Basically the water should just cover the solids.
If the sediment bothers you just leave it behind when you pour the broth out of the containers.
re: acgold7
Thanks. Actually, I decided to strain it through a couple layers of cheese cloth. I used some last night to cook some rice and vegetables. It was great!
re: Querencia
I'm planning to buy a crock pot and wondering what size is the most useful. I'm planning to cook stews and soup stock for a family of three. It seems like a large capacity (like 9 quart) one would make sense for stock but that size may not be as useful for cooking other things for a family my size. What do you suggest?
re: matsutake
I have a 4-quart that's marginally useful - it tends to be too small for many jobs. I had a 9-quart that was problematic, too - the crock was very large, heavy, and unwieldy, and I ended up breaking it by dropping it in the sink while attempting to wash it. I replaced it with a 6-quart, which seems to hit the sweet spot.
re: chez cherie
But once you hit 140, all the bacteria are dead within a minute or two. Unless you taste the stock while it's tepid, you've got nothing to worry about.
re: chez cherie
I pressure can my stock in the end anyway. I've been doing crock pot stock for years.
I'll frequently take a whole chicken, season it, and place it in the crockpot over potatoes, onions, carrots and any other veggies I have on hand (no liquid). Cook it on low for 6-8 hours. At the end of that time, the chicken will be more tender than any rotisserie chicken. The only drawback is that the skin doesn't get crisp or brown but since I'm watching my weight, it's better to not have the temptation. The bones practically fall out of the chicken when removing it from the crockpot. I usually get two to three meals out of the cooked chicken.
With the bones and veggies still in the crockpot, I add water and any additional seasonings then put the crockpot on low and let it go all night. In the morning, after straining the liquid, I have a minimal effort but amazingly tasty stock.
Not totally On topic?!? My SIL makes this crock pot chicken that is really tasty. She puts an oven-stuffer in crock pot and pours small bottle of fat-free Italian dressing over top. Then just slaps on the lid and goes to work. Don't know where it comes from, but she ends up with a crock pot FULL of tasty broth/stock and a chicken that's falling apart! She adds diced celery, carrots, onions and rice, noodles or little pasta for soup.
Last time I made stock was back in the dead of winter... too cold to do anything outdoors and I was looking for ANY excuse to avoid house work! One of the supermarkets I go to has a great policy of seriously reducing prices on beef/chicken/pork when it's 203 BEFORE sell by date. The had packages (2 each) of cornish hens at half price, so that's what I used. BIG pot, little birds, celery/onions/carrots, bay leaf, etc. I don't salt until I know what I'm gonna do with the stock. If already salted & reduced can be WAY to salty.
I just cannot toss chicken bones (from grilled, baked, roasted... whole or pieces) without getting every last drop of goodness outta them. Bones + water +CCO + a simmer = several cups of stock at the least to cook things like rice in, instead of water.
Chicken feet make great stock; they're loaded with keratin. And they can be had very cheaply at most Asian markets.

Levy proposed for vacant city propertiesBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | December 13,2012A proposed ordinance would charge the owners of vacant Rutland City properties a $500 fee.
The ordinance, the first product of the blighted properties steering committee, is expected to go before the Board of Aldermen on Monday; then it will likely be referred to the boards Charter and Ordinance Committee.
The proposal also creates a registry of vacant properties in the city.
What were looking for is the ability of the city to keep better track of whats vacant, said Brennan Duffy, executive director of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority.
The fee, he said, helps create a financial incentive against leaving a property vacant. Owners can get $450 back, Duffy said, if they demonstrate the property is being actively marketed, under renovation or slated for demolition. Duffy pointed out that the refund would apply to the vacant properties downtown.
They are all being actively marketed by a responsible property owner, he said.
The steering committee was formed from different elements of city government to look at procedures for addressing blighted properties. The building and zoning office has reported a total of 140 city properties have been abandoned by their owners, and the city recently took possession of an occupied apartment building, effectively abandoned by its owner following a tax sale.
A recent housing study suggested a number of strategies for neighborhood stabilization in Rutland and even suggested a neighborhood to start in a section of the northwest quadrant.
One piece missing from the ordinance is the fine for not registering a vacant property and paying the fee. Duffy said that would be worked out, along with some language issues, before the board presentation Monday.
This has been an ongoing process, Duffy said. I think this is a step in the right direction.
The next step, he said, is for the committee to look at ways to encourage rehabilitation of blighted properties. He said he expected that work to start in January.

Health & Pregnancy
Pregnant Pause: Should Expectant Moms Work Into the Third Trimester?
March 6, 2001 -- Women who work outside their homes late into their pregnancies have higher blood pressures on the days they clock in than on the days they stay home. The increase in blood pressure was small but significant, according to Australian research published in the March issue of the medical journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.
To arrive at their conclusion, researchers measured the blood pressures of 100 pregnant working women while on the job, right after work, at sleep, and over the entire 24 hours of a workday. They then compared these readings to those taken on a non-workday. In addition to a general rise in blood pressure on workdays, they noted that the bigger the gain, the more chance the woman had to become hypertensive -- that is, to go on to develop chronic high blood pressure.
The differences between blood pressure readings on workdays and non-workdays also were greater if women had high blood pressure to begin with, or if they described their jobs as stressful.
"We observed significant differences in the magnitude of [blood pressure] increases between work and non-workdays in women who developed pregnancy hypertension," the authors write. "... Analysis found that this change in [blood pressure] was a significant predictor of subsequent pregnancy hypertension."
The authors say their results ought to be confirmed by additional research -- but they point out that other studies already have shown that working pregnant women are at higher risk for developing preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and swelling.
"Preeclampsia used to be called toxemia," says William M. Manger, MD, PhD, chairman of the National Hypertension Association. "It occurs in 3% of all pregnancies."
First-time pregnant women are most at risk of developing preeclampsia -- at either end of the age spectrum, from young teens to those in their 40s -- as are women with a personal or family history of preeclampsia, those carrying multiple fetuses, diabetics, and women with a history of chronic high blood pressure.
The great danger is that preeclampsia, untreated, will become full-blown eclampsia.
"That's serious because it can cause the death of the patient," Manger says. "[Eclampsia is characterized by] pronounced hypertension, headache, abdominal pain, seizures, and [in some cases] the death of mother and fetus. It's a very severe condition."
While the changes in blood pressure related to working may seem small, they might prompt some women to reconsider whether to continue working into the third trimester -- that is, if they have the luxury of considering such an option.
Cindia Cameron, organizing director for group 9to5 National Association of Working Women, says employers can, by their actions, sometimes force a woman to choose between her health and a paycheck. While all employers with a certain number of employees are required to offer unpaid maternity leave, usually 12 weeks, there's nothing saying they can't start the clock early and require her to return immediately after delivery, she points out.

We believe that every human being deserves access to medically accurate and inclusive information about sex and sexuality. Many abstinence-only-until-marriage programs censor vital information and are not inclusive of information pertaining to LGB and non-gender-conforming people.

Research Interest(s)
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of morphogenesis
Research Description
The goal of our research is to learn the cellular, molecular and biomechanical mechanisms underlying morphogenetic movements during embryogenesis. One of the fundamental problems in developmental biology is determining what local cellular activities underlie the morphogenesis of cell populations. Analysis of this problem requires an integrated, multilevel approach. We examine the cell motility or shape changes that constitute the "motor" of morphogenetic movement with time lapse recording of low light videomicroscopy, or with confocal microscopy of labeled cells both in the whole embryo and explants. We learn how these types of cell motility generate forces, and determine the mechanical properties of the tissues transmitting these forces, by correlating videomicroscopy of cell behavior with mechanical measurements, using a computer-controlled biomechanical measuring device. To understand the molecular mechanisms of cell motility, and the biomechanics of how it is harnessed, we use pharmacologcal and molecular biological manipulations to alter the function of molecular components and analyze the resulting changes in cell behavior, force production, and mechanical properties of the tissue. Since the mechanical function of a region-specific cell motility is dependent on the spatial and temporal pattern of its expression, we test what tissue interactions induce and pattern specific cell motilities by making microsurgical rearrangements of inducing and responding tissues. Since movements feedback on inductions, we also physically block movements and monitor changes in patterning of motility.
Our analysis of the convergent extension movements in the embryo of the frog, Xenopus laevis, serves as an example of this approach. The dorsal tissues of the vertebrate embryo narrow (converge) and elongate (extend) greatly during gastrulation and neurulation in movements collectively called "convergent extension." We used videomicroscopy of fluorescently labeled cells to show that cells bias their protrusive activity in the mediolateral direction, exert traction on adjacent cells in this direction, and pull themselves between one another along the mediolateral axis, to form a longer, narrower array. Mechanical measurements showed that the tissue becomes stiffer as it extends, enabling it to push strongly enough to stretch the remaining passive tissues of the embryo without buckling. Our current work seeks to learn the molecular and mechanical basis of this directed protrusive activity and stiffening, and also how these properties are induced. We inject RNAs coding for proteins that act as dominant inhibitors of molecules thought to be important in organizing the directed protrusive activity, along with RNA coding for green fluorescent protein (GFP). This enables us to visualize the resulting changes in behavior of the affected cells, with low light fluorescence videomicroscopy. Correlated changes in the forces produced and in tissue mechanics are measured, and changes in the terminal cell phenotype are monitored with molecular marker expression. With this multilevel, integrated approach, we can perturb a molecular function and directly analyze the effect on cell motility, tissue mechanics, patterning, and cell differentiation, enabling us to learn what components function in a particular morphogenetic event, and the mechanism of that function.

Now that Apple has released iOS 8 on the eve of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus hitting Future Shop shelves, the new update to the operating system is less the interface coat of paint that iOS 7 was, and more a pack of features that bring it up to speed with what competitors are doing, along with a twist here and there. It's free to download and is compatible with iPhone 4S (and later), the iPad 2 (and later), both iPad minis and the fifth-generation iPod touch.

Motorcyclists face roadside MoT-style inspections and restrictions on fitting accessories under proposals from Brussels.
The UK's MoT system will be replaced with a new Europe-wide roadworthiness inspection regime under the plans.
As well as roadside spot checks just for bikes, the European Commission is proposing:

Will it be to have standardised MoT testing.
In the case of motorcycles, such Big Brother interference will close a whole raft of businesses who supply the aftermarket accessory economy. So long as the product is CE approved is that not enough?

What are the manufacturers doing with regards to opposing this propsed EU wide MOT? Nothing as usual, or are they going to fight their customers corner for a change? Once again it seems like it's being left to MAG and the like and motorcyclists themselves to stand up against legislation that harms motorcycling.

Not entirely sure if they plan on charging you for said roadside inspections - but i bet so
read it carefully anyway and spread the link just in case our government decides to pay attention to the EU for once, hopefully we just say "pah we do it our way"
and lol at " Raising the cost of inspections by up to £30%."
and as a channel islander eg. Jersey, Guernsey, etc... we do not come under the UK or the EU as we have our own laws and governments, so go stick that up ya arses in brussels you twats

I can see why a standardised certificate of roadworthiness might be a good idea. If you are travelling across different countries, you have no idea to what standard vehicles have been tested, Italy might be a bunch of slack Friday afternoon box tickers whereas Germany would have a strict policy in place. If your tyre pressure is 1 degree below the manufacturer recommended pressure they might declare war on the offending person's country!
That said, I've tried to be impartial but I would rather stick with our current system and have told the Eurocrats exactly that. I don't want to have random roadside MOT's for f**ks sake. Journey times, congestion and emissions will all increase and thousands of bike accessory manufacturers will be down the Jobcentre adding to our crap economy. It's another example of blanket wide legislation that hasn't been thought through properly.

My first try at a map. It is still WIP but I would appreciate comments and any helpful suggestions.
Attachment 51233
The map could have been nice. But there are two main reasons I don't like it.
1. It is to dark. I've got problems to read the small names.
2. You should have paid more attention to typography.
a) Avoid to many different fonts and sizes and choose better font combinations.
b) Each time you stretch or compress a font a typographer dies. Don't do it. if you want to run wider better insert some spacing.
c) Choose the place of typography more esthetically.
The stamp doesn't need a 3D-effect. Better give it some interesting colour and an inky look instead.
Don't bend the stamp typo. That's wrong. Set it on a round line instead.
The graphics of the mountains could have more variants.
But besides all those details, I think you're on the right way.
I like the color choices; they don't feel too dark to me. I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with the mountain icons either; I like keeping them fairly uniform in my maps too, for the most part.
I do agree with Freehand about the font selection and placement though. Keep the number of different fonts to a minimum and I think you'll be pleased at how it looks. The placement, especially on the seas, is jarring. Try not to angle text like that - it looks unnatural. Either keep it totally horizontal, or give it a proper aesthetic bend. In my opinion, there's no need to diagonally tilt any of that text, just select a smaller size and keep it horizontal.
Definitely on the right track though; it has potential.
The main font is okay - it's a bit hard to read, but if it's your peoples' typical script, I'm sure the locals read it just fine :-). One way to get the variety you need to distinguish easily between feature types is to vary size, weight, color, and style, all within the same font family. If that's only available in the one variant, you will have to be creative, but with most graphics tools you should be able to gen a reasonable outline version, as you might want for the city state label. You could gen an initial cap variant just by upping the font size on first characters. Area labels are well done by spreading a typical font for the map out w i t h w i d e r s p a c i n g. If you can master text-on-curve you'll improve your look; I've used free tools like Inkscape JUST for that one capability and imported the resulting labels back into my prefered main app.
I understand where you're headed with the embossed ownership mark - my city library does the same thing. A different font there is fine, since one would hardly to expect the Bureau Of Bureaucratic Engraving to match the Cartographer's Department standards.
If the sea-filling texture is supposed to just be parchment, I'm puzzled why it is almost invisible across land.
The rivers are nicely tapered, the forests are pleasantly scattered, the mountains show as much variety as you could expect from ones not hand-drawn. Postulate a map department that uses literal stamps for such symbols, and you're golden :-). THe land outlines are OK, and river placement works. I like the overall effect a lot. I do have to agree the tilty text is askew from a design sense too.
One thing: The outlines of the lakes do not fit so well with the rivers.
You could try to erase them.
Or you can paint the outlines of the lakes in the dark blue of the rivers and fill the lakes with a bit lighter blue.
*sorry, I somehow have to earn that river police badge* ;)
First of all thanks guys I really appreciate your input it's uber helpful.
In terms of fonts you are absolutely right I was just playing around to see if it would make the map more interesting but I really like the idea of italics, bold and caps within the same font style. Can't believe I didn't think of it on my own >:( but it's a learning process as all of you know :) I will also address the placement problem in the next try.
The reason I tried to make it darker is because I though it would give it more "authentic"/old feel. The overlay layer didn't come out on the land because of the burn color being too similar to the base color of the land. Dutifully noted I need to play around with parchment textures or land color.
I'm glad jbgibson mentioned rivers. That's something I had troubles with. I loved the idea of putting the lakes on separate layer and outlining them with river color. What do you think of making them simply black coming out of black or dark blue outline (Effects>Stroke)?
In terms of mountains I was going to try the overlay tutorial to see if I can make them more diverse.
Once again thanks for your comments.
I also wanted to ask you: Do you make makes in PS or GIMP and then hand draw the mountains or do you draw them with tools available in those programs?
I'm really interested in doing my own original art for my maps but just don't understand the process of combining generated maps with hand drawing. Help!
BTW awesome maps, man!
Not too bad for a first try : Besides what was already said, I'd say that the map is too filled. You should remove some elements, reduce font size to make it "breath"

What if I told you that you could have designer clothing comfortable enough to workout in? No, you aren't dreaming or too dizzy from that yoga class, it's true! Heidi Klum and New Balance have teamed up on a Project Runway-inspired line available exclusively through Amazon.com.
I can't wait to get my hands on some of these pieces and just had to share them with you, too.
This line blends style and comfort in a way I've never seen before and infuses winning looks from Project Runway, giving it a truly "designer" look and feel with most pieces under $100. There are even a couple of dresses nice enough for fun night out!
There are some REALLY creative combinations shown on the website. With just a few accessories and a shoe change, I think some of these pieces could easily go from work, to running errands to happy hour. Leave it to Project Runway to "make it work!"

In the final edition of our Big Board series we'll be taking a look at an array of prospects slated to be available in the second round of the 2012 NBA Draft. Because this half of the draft is so unpredictable and because I did not get a chance to watch some of these players, there will not be a designated order in which they appear. These are simply the best players, in no specific order, forecasted to land outside of the first round in the eyes of most draft aficionados.
It's been nearly a year since Roundball Mining Company unveiled its last Big Board. The man who held the No. 1 spot on that list ended up being the man who the Nuggets drafted with the 22nd pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. That worked out pretty well. Now after months of scouting and analyzing the NCAA's best prospects, I finally get the opportunity to do one of my favorite things in the world: speculate on the NBA Draft. This is Roundball Mining Company's first Big Board of the year.
According to SI.com's Sam Amick, the Nuggets have shown interest in drafting Iowa State's Royce White with the 20th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. Amick also mentions Baylor's Quincy Miller and St. Johns' Moe Harkless as possibilities with the team's first-round selection. All three have one thing in common: Each is projected to play small forward in the NBA.
On Tuesday, May 22, the Nuggets worked out two of the better shooting guards in the 2012 NBA Draft class: Terrence Ross from Washington and John Jenkins from Vanderbilt. Ross is a 6-6 sophomore who's extremely athletic and has made large strides in his defense. Meanwhile Jenkins is a 6-4 junior, known as perhaps the best pure shooter in all of college basketball this past season. Though each is comprised of their own individual basketball DNA, they both share a common bond in that they're shooters who are somewhat limited in other areas of the game.

What great shots. He is a handsome young man. Thanks for linking up with us.
Mr. B
I don't normally share pictures of Mr. B just to share. Usually just when they happen to fall under other categories, like monochromatic colors or something. But I saw where Amber's Articles was doing a Top 5 of your kids and thought I would play along this time.
Mr. B starts 2nd grade. Not sure he was all too excited to go back to school.
Both of these were taken in Old Town when we went on our little camera toting adventure.
Mr. B turns 8
Mr. B blows a big bubble with the help of Papa at the NM State Fair. I love how the bubble stretches out over the other people in the photo.
Pictures of Mr. B also make me smile, so I am also sharing over at Simplicity

Exactly!! Before WLK, it was a huge pain to level up characters on a friend's realm or something even if they were running me through dungeons and such b/c I just didn't have the gold to buy anything at all. But with DKs and their starting chain, one could do this several times in a row, sell all your stuff, send the gold to your low level character and have a pretty good chunk of it to support yourself as your leveling and need gear upgrades and riding training and such.
I'm more willing to dabble on my friends' servers now that I have a source of easy, quick gold. It's not a lot, but it's a lot to a lowbie character with a few silver in their pocket. :D

Camp Quest Fun Zone
We are proud to be working again with Camp Quest West, the secular summer camp for children here in California, to the Family Fun Zone.
This designated area is designed for families with children between the ages of 6 and 12.
Planned Activities
Bounce House
Get your bounce on! Stop by the bounce house any time, take off your shoes, and have blast!
Learn to Be a Psychic
Ever wonder how they do it? Let your children explore the world of psychics and cold-readings with this reveal-all activity that teaches the tricks of the game. Great for ages 10 and up.

Take a bit of history home with you with our fossil rubbing activity. Stop by and time; we've got all the supplies you'll need. Fun for all ages.
Take a Walk in My Shoes
A lesson in empathy and overcoming fears, this dialog-encouraging exercise will help kids understand what it's like to be someone else. Perfect for children ages 6 - 12.
Coloring Activities
See how creative you can be! Stop by and do a little coloring and show your work to the world, or just come by and see what other creative kids have made.
Teen Networking
Looking to connect with new friends? Have questions about life, the universe, and everything? Stop by and connect with other teens while we talk about some of life's most mysterious and interesting topics.
About Camp Quest West
Camp Quest West is designed for children from non-religious families: atheists, humanists, agnostics, freethinkers and others with a naturalistic world view.
We blend world-class science and critical thinking games with the traditional all-American outdoor camp experience. Think the glories of evolution paired with campfires and canoeing! Along the way, we build community, letting kids know that the skeptical community has something special to offer the world and role models to emulate.
Get ready for 2015! Our summer camp will be in Nevada City (near Sacramento) and Wrightwood (near Los Angeles) in the summer of next year.

Sunday 16th January - The upside of preparing for a crazy two-week existence without sugar, gluten/wheat, yeast or dairy (and reducing caffeine) means I have an excuse and the motivation to try all kinds of mysterious foods. I'm really curious.
I'm avoiding thinking about the down sides to this. No cheese, normal bread, marmite, booze, muffins, or indeed fun until the 31st January. If I liked junk food I'd be pretty devastated.
