Super League
Littlehampton A lost 5-4 in a top-of-the-table thriller against Worthing.
With the teams level at the top of the Sussex west division, the match lived up to expectations.
First blood went to the visitors when the unbeaten Cliff Prior (24.51) lost 3-1 to Dayle Smith (28.46). Despite a 120 checkout in the opening leg, Prior missed his chance to level the match in the fourth leg.
Littlehampton levelled when Andy Hills (23.29) beat Micky Hide (20.50). Lee Gladman (24.84) put the visitors ahead, winning 3-1 against Adi Linfield (22.13). But Gary Blackwood (22.77) beat Richard Stanford (22.90) to make it 2-2.
Worthing took the next two games with wins from Mick Daube (24.88) beating Matt Bourner (23.43) 3-1 and MoM James Greenfield (32.67) prevailing 3-0 over Jason Hills (24.82). Littlehampton responded with back-to-back wins to level the match at 4-4 through Craig Stoner (23.50), winning 3-1 against Ken Sowerby (20.58), and Mick Rowland (23.48) beating Paul Pace (23.10) 3-0.
The final match was tense with Terry Howse (22.96) playing Richard Dixon (27.83), but Howse failed to produce his best form and lost 3-0, giving the visitors top spot.
County SCENE
Cleveland 21 Sussex 15
Sussex's journey to meet the top side Cleveland in division three of the Rileys British Inter County Championship wasn't a happy one.
By Saturday night Sussex were 11-8 down.
When the ladies' A team produced a 3-3 draw the gap was only four points. Despite a good start from the men's A team, Cleveland produced a 7-5 win for an overall match win by Cleveland.
Chichester's Hayley Gatford picked up the lady-of-the-match award on Saturday with a 16.52 average and Littlehampton's Karen Winter had a win. Gary Blackwood and Terry Howse both lost.
Observer Cup

text: All this talk about failure in school or in life actually just means that you have given up. Thrown in the towel. Now, this does not apply for leaving what you do not believe in. But more to something that you have been pursuing and giving that up because it got too hard. That is failure. Not the marks that you get on your report card or the failed attempts that you have committed in the name of pursuing success. Those are badges of honour. One you should wear with pride especially after you have achieved the success that you desire with much persistence.

Days 17-21 It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better
Truly I don't even know what to say. I gasped when I realized that I had not written this week; it's shocking to realize how overwhelming I find change. It seems that right now I am in the midst of very tumultuous change. I am still clinging to old ideas, old behaviors, old fears, old habits of thought, and so on. There really are no adequate words for this part of the process. In all honesty, I really thought this would be easier - I wanted it to be easier. Instead, something just is aching and I can't quite figure it out.
Joan said something to me the other day about the old story of the teacup in the china shop. I think the story is something like this:
The teacup tells that she wasn't always so lovely. At first she was just clay, messy, wet and lumpy. A potter began to fashion the clay; as he pinched and poked and spun her, she complained that it hurt and wished the rough handling would stop. After a while, the pinching did stop - and then she was locked up. She got warmer and warmer and wondered how it could be that she was going through something even more uncomfortable - no, painful - than all that pinching. She realized with shock that she was in a kiln - burning! She desperately wanted the burning to stop. Eventually it did, and she was sure that the hurt and discomfort was over and done with for good. The potter then started smearing paint all over her - it stung, it was wet and gross feeling, and she just wanted to be left alone. Once more she found herself burning in the kiln, disbelieving her wild misfortune. Suddenly, it was over. She was carefully polished and placed on a shelf. All who saw her admired her exquisite beauty, not to mention the skill of the potter. (Me, being a tea drinker, would dare to add that all who saw her also secretly desired the feelings of warmth and calm that being with her would bring.)
This finding my worth business is like most things worth having: it's hard work. And this week I don't know that I've been up to the challenge. I feel battered and bruised, teetering on the brink of some sort of abyss. I really don't know why - it just doesn't seem like it should be this hard. Right now I don't want a shortcut to get to the end - I just want to be left lumpy and messy. The mess and chaos are familiar, even if they are destructive in the end. (A moment of dark humor here: I blame my rekindled passion of reading. I have torn through five novels and am on the sixth right now - all of them about higher ideals, love, loss, and... change. Stupid books - they make me feel.)
Lest anyone think I'm on the brink of despair, I'm not, I assure you. Or maybe I say that to assure me? In any case, there is a part of me that realizes that this is temporary, no matter how eternal it feels. I do wish I could turn off my emotions right now, though that would prevent me from actually becoming the person the Lord wants me to become. I am worth... something. I think this week I have to just cling to the fact that I am worth something, but right now that something is elusive and undefinable. I just have to ride out whatever this storm is. It's just very difficult - and because I have read a few good books in my life, I know the standard plot: it gets worse before it gets better.

Michael Brennan: 'No polling card and local TDs just ignore us' -- why Travellers won't cast vote
It is not as if there are no problems for politicians to deal with in Dunsink Lane, which is hidden away from passing drivers
WINNIE Keenan is not going to vote on Friday --and neither will any of the 60 Traveller families living nearby.
There will be no polling card arriving at her caravan in the Dunsink Lane halting site in Dublin -- because there is no postal service.
And even if she wanted to go to the polling station, she would be unable to get a taxi -- because taxis don't call out to the lane.
Winnie, who has worked as a mediator in Traveller disputes, said there was not a single election poster up in the halting site or the nearby roadside camp.
"I don't think anyone anywhere would be voting in Dunsink because you wouldn't get the (polling) card and there's no encouragement. The local TDs and councillors, in the two years I've been here, I've never seen them on site," she told the Irish Independent.
But it is not as if there are no problems for politicians to deal with in Dunsink Lane in Finglas, which is hidden away from the view of passing motorists on the M50.
One key issue is fire safety -- Winnie's grandson Michael (2) burnt to death in a caravan fire last year.
He was playing with other children in the disused caravan when the fire started accidentally, and there was no hose on the water connection point nearby.
"I'm not saying it would have saved his life but at least he would have had a chance. We were in the caravan, but we couldn't find him," Winnie said.
The fire crews had to get their water connection from under a manhole instead -- and the hose was delivered a week later.
Winnie pointed out the burnt ground close to her own caravan where the fire took place. Her grandson's little green bike is tied to a lamppost and surrounded by flowers from a recent Traveller wedding.
"The young bridesmaids came over and asked permission to put the bouquets there. It was nice of them to think of him," she said.
But there is little chance that the problems of the 36,000-strong Travelling community will be a priority in the general election due to their lack of voting power and the lack of a single Traveller candidate.
Yet the unemployment rate among Travellers is around 86pc (most of those in Dunsink Lane are on social welfare) compared to 14pc nationally.
Dunsink Lane itself resembles an apocalyptic scene out of Cormac McCarthy's novel 'The Road', with thousands of tonnes of foul-smelling rubbish dumped along the side.
Winnie said the rubbish was being dumped there illegally by settled people and Travellers from other areas -- despite the issue being brought up at council level by Sinn Fein councillor Dessie Ellis and Socialist Party councillor Clare Daly.
"There's a €50 fine, but it's (a) slap on the wrist. They will clean it up, but the issue of the illegal dumping is not getting addressed whatsoever," she said.
A local resident, Eileen, stopped her car to complain about the health risks posed by the rubbish. She said the contaminated run-off was going straight into the leaking pipes on the road that provided the site's water supply.
"The health conditions here are so bad. That's why my kids are getting sick -- my young fellow has leukaemia and my other son has diarrhoea," she said.
The Environmental Protection Agency is taking a prosecution against a truck driver spotted dumping rubbish on the lane and is in discussions with gardai about putting up security cameras.
Dunsink Lane acquired a notorious reputation after clashes there between some Travellers and gardai in 2004. There were also stoning attacks on fire crews responding to emergency calls.
But Winnie said the "small minority" of Traveller families involved in such incidents had moved on and there was now a good relationship with gardai, who patrolled the site every day.
"If there is any trouble, there wouldn't be any hesitation in ringing the guards," she said.
The Traveller support group Pavee Point has proposed reserving a seat in the Dail for a Traveller -- as a way of getting the community involved in politics.
"We do engage with ministers and we would like to see them engage with the community at a much more real level.
"It would be nice to see Travellers going to the Dail," said the group's joint co-ordinator, Maria Daly.

Hormonology uses hundreds of scientific studies to show you how your hormones impact you in virtually every way every day of your monthly cycle. The Hormone Horoscope is a nifty little way of dispensing this information daily. To get started, find the week you're on in your monthly cycle (you can use this easy guide if you're not sure), then read your Hormone Horoscope for today!
Which week are you on in your monthly cycle? Find out what it reveals about what your day has in store:
Week 1
Day 1 (first day of period) to Day 7
Estrogen rises
This weekend's Hormone Horoscope: Your Week 1 may start off slow as the combination of low estrogen and menstruation saps your pep. However, by the middle of this week, you'll likely be piling more on your plate as estrogen rises and menstruation peters off, prompting a higher energy level. In fact, by the end of your Week 1, you may astound friends and family with the seemingly endless to-do list you've made for yourself!
Week 2
Day 8 to Day 14 or ovulation (here's how to tell when you're ovulating)
Estrogen and testosterone rise till they peak
This weekend's Hormone Horoscope: It's roll up your sleeves time. High estrogen and testosterone are pumping up your resolve and inner strength, making you feel like you can (and will) accomplish just about anything you set your mind to. This can-do spirit may spill over to other people as well, making you want to push friends, family and co-workers to do more. Unfortunately, they may not share your over-achieving frame of mind. And, if that's the case, you may be happier refocusing all that cheerleading back on yourself and your own goals rather than waste it on those undeserving slackers.
Week 3
Day 15 (or the day after ovulation) to Day 22
Progesterone rises; estrogen and testosterone drop for half the week, then estrogen rises again
This weekend's Hormone Horoscope: It's probably apparent by now that the high energy, super-sized libido, killer memory, sharp wit and buoyant optimism you enjoyed during the first half of your cycle has been replaced with fatigue, a low sex drive, mental fogginess and a more realistic outlook. Blame goes to lower levels of estrogen and testosterone coupled with rising progesterone. But fret not: The second half of your cycle has its benefits, too! That's because it gives you a chance to sit back and reflect on past decisions and their outcomes, which helps you make sure you're still on the right course; it prompts you to relax, which helps you recharge after all those high-hormone days of running around; and it slows you down, which gives you a chance to enjoy the subtler things in life, like your first sip of coffee or the warm rays of sunshine on your skin.
Week 4
Day 23 to the end of cycle
Estrogen and progesterone plunge
This weekend's Hormone Horoscope: Plunging estrogen turns you into less of a people-person today as it makes everyone's most annoying characteristics far more prominent. As a result, you may be craving a little alone time to watch a movie, read a book, eat your lunch, practice guitar, exercise or just do some work without being interrupted. And you may wonder (aloud and loudly) why some people simply can't respect your need for space.

The gas system is oversupplied this morning, according to npower's daily market report.
The linepack is currently forecast to close more than 12mcm long despite strong demand.
Gemma Bruce from npower's optimisation desk said: "With temperatures below seasonal normal and gas-fired generation dominating the power stack, demand is 19% above seasonal normal levels today."
However, healthy LNG send-out and strong Norwegian flows are helping to compensate for the increased demand.
Ms Bruce added: "Norwegian production was affected by unplanned outages at the weekend with the UK taking the brunt of the reduced flows. However they turned out to be short-lived and Norwegian exports to the UK are higher than Friday's levels."
The power system's peak margin is more than 12GW with wind generation "reasonably healthy", currently at 2.7GW.
Forecasts suggest it will remain around this level for the next couple of days which will help compensate for very low coal generation, currently at just 5.5GW.
Imports from the continent continue to be in the direction of the UK at full capacity.
Oil is currently trading at $54.6 a barrel (£35/Bbl).

Question about Kodak EASYSHARE 5500 All-In-One InkJet Printer
Yesterday I changed both the black and the color cartridges. Before that the printer was working fine. Now it will copy from the printer, but it won't print from the computer. I have checked everything the "Troubleshooter" suggested, but it still doesn't work. Please help me!
Thank you.
Posted by stinson221 on
With the machine on. Press "Copy" and "Delete" at the same time and hold for 3 seconds. Then print "demo sheet". If the print and picture are OK try the next step.
Then try to print from a file in your computer.
If that doesn't work call Kodak Support at 1-800-421-6699. They are excellent.

Thanks have a good day :)

As most of you know, I love to drive so I spend a lot of time in my car. We bought my little Yaris two and a half years ago and have put 65,000 miles on it.
So I have decorated my car with items that others have blessed me with.
There is a sweet heart hanging off the rear view mirror that Natalie DeMiguel, a high school friend gave me. I rotate it with hearts Mom and Nina gave me so I can enjoy all of them.
On the little shelf by the dashboard clock I have a heart B gave me, a silver coin that says 'Live Well' that I found in Erica's speech room after she moved to Ohio.
There is a little ring from my granddaughter and a button from Ron.
Even my turn signal is decorated with a lime green bracelet that says Joy from Jenn and a jelly bracelet that Savannah made me in Seahawks colors.
My bumper has a Seahawks sticker and my rear view window has a 'Be Joyful' sign that I can see when I back up. There is a Young Life sticker on my side window.
When I get in my car I feel the love of others around me.
Their generous, thoughtful gifts fill my vision and my heart.
When I pull into the driveway and walk in our home there are even more treasures
that fill my heart. Pictures on the walls of family and friends and a lifetime of collectibles that are only precious to Ron and I because of the memories they bring back.
My fridge is even covered in drawings from my grandkids and pictures that smile back at me.
There are days when my 'orphan spirit' tries to convince me that I am not loved and cherished.
The truth is the evidence is everywhere that I am. I just have to believe what is real.
Even my Facebook page fills with hearts that others send me.
I adore the hearts they share but mostly I am humbled that others think of me and my Ryan when they see hearts. Ryan brought me more sweet heart rocks than I remember.
My friends and family keep him alive in my heart and in my space with their generous gifts.
Whenever I throw my pity party that I am not loved enough.
I just have to walk through our house or take a seat in my car.
I am loved. The proof is right before my eyes.
In Him,

LONDON: An incredible game gained the incredible ending it deserved when Tim Southee and Trent Boult combined to complete a remarkable boundary catch.
With England requiring 24 runs from the final seven deliveries of an enthralling ODI – which had been interrupted by rain after 43.5 overs remaining and England needed 54 off 37 balls – it appeared Adil Rashid had drilled the final ball of the penultimate over for six.
But Southee, covering good ground and getting two hands to the chance on the long-on boundary, displayed not just the athleticism but the presence of mind to know that his momentum was going to carry him over the boundary. Throwing the ball back to Boult, running towards him from long-off, he ensured his side claimed the catch that ended England's hopes of victory.
But if proof were required that the "new England" on display at Edgbaston on Tuesday was no aberration, it was provided in this match at the Kia Oval. Just three days after setting their record score in an ODI, England registered their record score batting second.
However, it was not enough to prevent New Zealand from levelling the Royal London series after another run-soaked game on the sort of batting track that must leave bowlers wishing they had become plumbers or electricians.
The match after England set their record ODI score of 408 at Edgbaston, New Zealand hit back with a total of 398 for 5, their second-highest in ODI cricket after their 402 for 2 against Ireland in 2008 and their highest against a Test nation.
But England – first powered by Alex Hales' maiden ODI half-century and then Eoin Morgan's 47-ball innings of 88 – sustained their chase long after it looked impossible. Even after the loss of their seventh-wicket and last recognised batsman, Sam Billings, with 124 runs required and only 14 overs left, England kept charging towards their target.
Rashid and Liam Plunkett thrashed 76 runs in 8.3 overs – equalling the England record they set on Tuesday of hitting 14 sixes in an ODI innings – until Southee and Boult's intervention on the boundary.
But while England eventually fell 14 runs short of their D/L target – the revised target was 34 runs from 13 balls upon the resumption – they will take heart from a second record-breaking batting effort within four days. A few weeks ago, as a timid England were jettisoned from the World Cup in the group stages, such boldness looked beyond them.
Never have more runs been scored in an ODI in England and only twice, in the 3,655 game history of ODIs, have more runs been scored in a match anywhere in the world. Before this week, England had only scored more runs once in a 100-over ODI.
Ross Taylor's 13th ODI century – an innings of increasing dominance – underpinned New Zealand's vast total, but there were strong, selfless contributions throughout their batting line-up.
Given a customarily positive start by Brendon McCullum, who had elected to bat first upon winning the toss, they were boosted by half-centuries from Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson before Grant Elliott and Luke Ronchi thrashed quick 30s towards the end of the innings.
At one stage McCullum, charging down the pitch to hit Chris Jordan off his length, took 20 from four deliveries and, while Plunkett's extra pace resulted in a mis-hit to midwicket, Williamson made his first half-century in 10 ODI innings to keep New Zealand on track.
It was a largely conventional innings. He scored just 3 from his first 11 deliveries and only hit one boundary in his first 35 balls – and that from a misfield from Hales that should have been a single – but then plundered three off-side fours in an over as Ben Stokes struggled to maintain the required line before taking Rashid for 14 in four balls with two lofted drives following a pull for six.
In between times, he late cut beautifully, hit anything pitched up over the in-field and punished the short ball. Only Steven Finn, who twice found Williamson's inside edge with well-directed back of a length deliveries, demanded any respect.
In the end, it was a full toss from Stokes that ended Williamson's innings. Although Steve Davis, the square leg umpire, originally signalled no-ball in the belief that the delivery was above waist height, the TV umpire – Bruce Oxenford – judged it to be a legal delivery.
But if England thought they had made the key breakthrough, they were quickly disillusioned as Taylor started to accelerate. Having taken 50 deliveries to make his first 43 runs, his next 76 came from only 46 balls. Moving into top gear with a trademark slog-sweep for six off Rashid, he then cut Ben Stokes for another before heaving Jordan over midwicket for his third in 10 balls. In the same period, Jordan was also taken for two leg side fours as he struggled to hit the correct lengths.
Taylor was dropped twice. The first came when he had seven and cut Plunkett hard to Jason Roy's right at point and the second when he had 40 and drove Stokes hard to Joe Root at short extra-cover. Neither was easy.
England's bowling figures were ugly. Jordan, who was unable to bowl his final over after appearing to sustain a side strain that seems sure to keep him out of the third ODI, equalled Steve Harmison's record for the most expensive analysis by an England bowler in an ODI, while Stokes, Rashid and Plunkett all conceded in excess of seven an over.
England were ahead of New Zealand on an over-by-over comparison basis for much of their innings. But each time it seemed they were on target, New Zealand struck back with a key wicket.
Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, gaining assistance from the surface that was absent for all other bowlers, claimed two wickets in three balls as first Joe Root and then Hales hit attempted slog-sweeps to fielders and when Morgan sliced to deep point and Jos Buttler edged one angled across him from the excellent Boult, it seemed the end was nigh.
But England kept charging and, had it not been for Southee's intervention might have pulled off a memorable chase.

John Deere Classic: Brian Harman leads by one after third round 65
Last Updated: 13/07/14 9:31am
Brian Harman claimed a one-shot lead going into the final day of the John Deere Classic after he carded a third round of 65 on Saturday.
The 27-year-old American recorded eagles on both the par-five second and 17th holes along with birdies on the fourth, eighth, 10th and 15th, but bogeys on the 12th and last meant he did not match his opening round of 63.
Steve Stricker went one better on the day with a round of seven-under 64 and will head into the final day as Harman's nearest challenger.
Stricker, who has qualified for the Open Championship at Hoylake this coming week, shot four birdies on the front nine and matched the feat on his way back to the clubhouse, with the only blot on his day a bogey on the par-four 11th.
Harman, who is seeking his first win in his 88th start on the PGA Tour, said: "I'm going to try to shoot the lowest score I possibly can. If it's good enough, great. If not, I'll be chilling on the boat next week.
Third round leaderboard

-17 B Harman

"It's a first shot golf course. You've got to really get in good position to attack those pins. They were decently accessible today and I made a couple of putts and shot a good score."
Scott Brown shot a superb 61 to move into third place after a flawless round which contained 10 birdies and he will start Sunday two shots off the lead.
South Africa's Tim Clark, Americans Jerry Kelly, William McGirt and Zach Johnson were tied for fourth place on 14-under-par.

My Before and After Gym Photos and some Tips
I was about to post another "Life Lately" segment, unfortunately I am not in mood of editing bunch of photos saved in my phone. Maybe tomorrow though.
For today, I will be posting some updated photos of my body after working out for almost 2 months now. If you are new here, I decided to be a member of Reaxion Fitness Center near my area last month.
Luckily, I met this uber nice trainer who is very patient in spotting me every time I over-lift during my last set. Anyway, this is the before and after photo of me.
I really do hope that you are seeing the improvements I have had.
I can't say that I have achieved the body that I desire but somehow, I know that I am getting there. A little push, patience and hard work and I will get there for sure!
My friends especially my very supportive mom said that I am getting fatter or I must say, getting bigger. I am not sure if those compliments were true but somehow, it builds my confidence and determination up to the next level.
Summer is not yet over. I still have time. lol!
Anyway, enjoy these before and after gym photo of mine I took a while back. Thanks to my very supportive friends who are willing to be my photographer. ;)
|Big Word and I agree!
I am wearing my backpack again because I like flexing those gigantic baby muscles! lol! Not bad for 2 months gym achievement for a bony guy like me.
Let me share these helpful tips in building muscles for people like me who has an ectomorph kind of body.
My Very Own Bony To Beastly Muscle Guide for Slim Guys!
- Apply for a gym membership.
- Be consistent. (Atleast 4-5 days per week)
- Carbo and Protein overload is a must!
- Buy and take supplements like whey protein.
- Lift heavy equipment.
- Push yourself to limits every gym session!
I will write a separate entry for this so I can elaborate everything I pointed out. In the meantime, I will sleep again because I am already tired. Been blogging for 3 hours now.
Ciao everyone!

Allyn was sick the whole Christmas vacation. It started Christmas night. She had fevers between 104-105. I was nervous about it so I took her into the ER on that Sunday. They gave her some medicine to help her keep stuff down and then sent her home. By Wed she was still not feeling better. The fevers were not so high, but she felt horrible. David took her into the Dr. and he said that when she was in the ER they found a bladder infection and never told us. I was really annoyed by it. So the Dr gave her an antibiotic for the bladder infection. I called the "man in charge" of the ER just to let him know what happened. The next day Dr #2 called and said there was no bladder infection after all. What??? He said to keep taking the meds though. So she was still not better and I took her in on that Sat. Dr #3 took x-rays and blood. Turns out she had pneumonia. My poor girl. So he gave her some new medicine. Now she is on 2 antibiotics. I took her in on Monday for a follow up and she was feeling much much better. Finally yesterday she went back to school, but getting ready for school I made a OOPPSS...
I was going to give her medicine to her and I stuck it in Judah's mouth and gave it to him. I felt horrible because he is allergic to penicillin. Luckily it was not penicillin and he did not have a reaction. I was freaking out so bad I could hardly figure out how to use my phone to call the Dr.

The madness !!!
It is amazing to see how a person puts in very little effort and gets the trophee while another one puts their heart & soul out and never get to even have a chance to leave the starting line. But always remember, in life nothing is what it seems, that trophee might actually turn out to be just a plain vase....imagine that.

Wikipedia: George Herman "Babe" Ruth
George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), best known as "Babe" Ruth and nicknamed "the Bambino" and "the Sultan of Swat", was an American baseball player who spent 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) playing for three teams (1914–1935). Known for his hitting brilliance, Ruth set career records in his time for home runs (714 since broken), slugging percentage (.690), runs batted in (RBI) (2,213 since broken), and on-base plus slugging (OPS) (1.164). Ruth originally entered the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox as a starting pitcher, but after he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1919, he converted to a full-time right fielder. He subsequently became one of the league's most prolific hitters and with his home run hitting prowess, he helped the Yankees win seven pennants and four World Series titles. Ruth retired in 1935 after a short stint with the Boston Braves, and the following year, he became one of the first five players to be elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — New York City saw one of the hottest Oct. 18ths on record this Tuesday, as a week of unseasonably warm weather continues throughout the Tri-State.
A record high temperature of 82 degrees was set in Newark this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. This breaks the old record of 80 degrees set in 1964.
A record high of 83 was forecast for New York City.
The current record high for Central Park on Oct. 18 is 82 degrees. LaGuardia tied their record high of 81 degrees late Tuesday morning.
Temperatures were already in the 60s by the time most people started their day, CBS2's Elise Finch reported. By 11 a.m., temperatures had already hit 74 degrees in Central Park — typically the normal high for May 29.
Many people held on to their jackets as they opted for a nice stroll in the sun Tuesday morning on the East Side at Central Park.
"This has been great, outside all day going to the park, walking around town, Matthew Weissman, of the Upper West Side, said. "It's been the perfect day for us."
"It's amazing, absolutely glorious," Australian tourist Zoe Poulso said. "It's our first day in New York so we're going to go to the park and walk around and have an amazing time."
"I got my iced coffee and I'm wearing my cut-low pants and I'm ready," one New Yorker told 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck.
As CBS2's Elise Finch reported, the beach at Coney Island is officially closed for swimming, but some people just couldn't resist.
"I'm a bookkeeper. I'm supposed to be locked up in an office somewhere, crunching numbers and posting stuff," Tiffany Hernandez said.
Mindy said she and her husband were married at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden on an equally warm October day in 1989. They chose to enjoy Tuesday, at the beach.
"It's very nice, calming and relaxing here," she said.
Jaime Casanova planned an entire day of fun to make the most of the mid-October warm up.
"Get down to Coney Island, walk on the boardwalk. Stopped at Nathan's already, and later we'll go to Sheepshead Bay to Randazzo's for my favorite Calamari," he said.
Others weren't as thrilled.
"I think it's time for it to be a little bit more crisp and cool — you gotta take what you get," another woman said.
New York City was nearly 20 degrees above the normal temperature Monday. The high in the city was 81 degrees. The normal this time of year is supposed to be 63.
The warm spell will be broken by the weekend, when temperatures are expected to drop back down to the low 60s.


text: HomeNEWSGENERALCouncil objects to some HS2 proposals February 24, 2014 GENERAL, LOCAL By Daniel Burton and Jessica Charles The HS2 (High Speed Rail) proposals have sparked a huge debate around the country with many cities questioning whether it will even benefit them. Coventry lies on the outskirts of the proposed rail link and in order to make sure the city gets the best from HS2, Coventry City Council have planned to object to some of the proposals. HS2 is also set to cause a huge problem for rural towns along its route, with one village in Warwickshire saying that they are 'Britain's most blighted village.' Below is a timeline showing the developments of HS2 up until its completion and how Coventry may be affected.

Yesterday was an exciting day for this large parrot- I met a woman who I loved watching perform during the 90s, when I was in High School and definitely watching myself a lot of Saturday Night Live. Funny, because recently there was a Chris Farley Celebration Show on the tv when I came home one night and at the end I saw her and shrieked: "Ellen Cleghorne! She was my favorite!" You may not remember her, but I loved watching Zoraida the NBC Page who would harass the guests and Afrocentric Queen Sheniqua, with her big hair wraps.
My friend Sandi invited to be on a panel to offer criticism to undergrad NYU Performance majors, but I had to be late due to extenuating lunch circumstances with some out-of-town friends... which booted me off the panel, but I managed to sneak in and enjoy the performances. First, the students were great, and let's just say I wasn't expecting it to be that good. They all had their theory down and did a good job explaining themselves. Secondly, after the performance was over I was chatting with Ellen and this hot shit lesbian named Karen who was also on the panel, and I told her that she looked like Ellen Cleghorne from SNL. "That is me" she said, and of course I said "No, it's not" and proceeded to argue with her for a few minutes about it, until Karen reminded me that her name was Ellen and she did look like her.
In any case, I calmed down and tried to be cool, which meant I had to forgo telling her she was my favorite, but as Whitney says, it's not right but it's okay. We ended up going to dinner and having a lovely time. That woman is still a riot and it was so much fun to hang out with someone who I had admired for so long, especially during a time when I really was developing my own sense of humor.

Pat Neshek & Autographs: A Family Affair
|From www.PatNeshek.com — the pitcher has a
section entitled "Proof Shots." He invites collectors to
send in photos of him signing. As you see, Pat
will go to great lengths to please fans.
If you were fighting for your professional future, would you still have time for fans, collectors and signing autographs?
I wanted to get word to Pat Neshek that we appreciate his upbeat attitudes about autographs. After my last blog post, I sent a note to his wife Stephanee.
Here's her reply!
"Thanks Tom! Pat's mom actually found your blog post awhile back and sent it to us:)
He loves the hobby and is happy to give back to the sport and fans who made it possible for him to play the game he loves :)"
As long as baseball still has a few Pat Nesheks, we still have hope.
One Response to "Pat Neshek & Autographs: A Family Affair"
Love love LOVE Neshek. I actually live just down the street from where he went to High School. That guy will sign just about anything and usually for nothing more than a SASE. Great guy!

What is an appropriate tag line for the character Hamlet in Hamlet, with an explanation?
- print Print
- list Cite
You might use Hamlet's own description of Fortinbras and apply it to Hamlet:
a delicate and tender prince
Hamlet describes Fortinbras in this way in his soliloquy in Act 4. Fortinbras in his mission to attack Poland with his thousands of troops seems hardly a delicate and tender prince. The description applies more aptly to Hamlet, who has
a father killed, a mother stained,
Excitements of my reason and my blood
And let all sleep . . .
Hamlet has the motive and will to exact revenge on Claudius, and yet such a mission is very difficult for him. Hamlet's keen sensibilities and insight prevent him from acting rashly. A lesser intellect, a more forceful personality would have plunged headlong into such a mission and perhaps failed just as miserably. But Hamlet wants perfect revenge: he must be sure of Claudius' guilt, he must be certain that Claudius' soul goes to hell, he must convince his mother that he is right.
Hamlet, unlike Fortinbras, is not a warlike individual and is thrust into a situation in which he must act against his tender and delicate nature. He must become what he naturally is not--a killer. This transformation takes its toll of the meditative and melancholy prince.
I assume you want a tag line to describe Hamlet?
I would say, "Hamlet: a man with a plan...kind of."
He knows that he needs to take revenge on his uncle, so first he makes a plan to see if his uncle is really guilty. He tries to get Ophelia to tell him, but just ends up treating her really badly, leading her to kill herself.
Then he has the players act out his father's murder. That goes okay and he does find that his uncle killed his father. After that, the plan goes somewhat off the path he has chosen.
Hamlet cannot seem to bring himself to actually kill his uncle, even when he knows he is guilty. Hamlet tries to stab Claudius, but he does so through a curtain (not the plan) and ends up killing Polonius!
No matter what, Hamlet seems to make a plan, but he can never actually follow through all the way. He is a man with a plan, but it never works out for him and he dies tragically.

Medical resources, I believe, are one of the main reasons many adults do research on the internet. I remember the Canadian Health Network from one of the ref courses I took during my MLIS and it's where I go first to look up health related sites.
This morning my sorority sister emailed me to say her newborn son died earlier today. She had called me Tuesday to let me know she had him (he wasn't due for another 2 weeks) and that she was in London at the children's hospital; she was hoping I still lived there and could visit (although she knows I'm in Kitchener now, but when someone is upset, they don't really think straight, do they?). There's no way I can afford to go to Windsor for the funeral or visitation, but how else do I help a grieving friend? And so, to the Internet I turn.
Here's a couple useful sites found via CHN:
The Grief of Parents When A Child Dies which has pointers on "How To Help Someone Else"
Let time do the healing on Griefworks BC.
Also, one of Google's first hits for a search on "baby grief" is:
Empty Cradles which I think is actually pretty cool, well, as cool as death can be; actually it's quite depressing when you start to look at the "galaxies". Some people try to forget what's happened, but of course that's the worst possible solution.
[BTW, I have posted other entries this week, but "Blog this" doesn't seem to be working and they've disappeared into oblivion; when I have time I'll try to repost]

Source : https://academic.oup.com/cid/article...o-and-In-VitroAbstract
Ivermectin is increasingly being used to treat scabies, especially crusted (Norwegian) scabies. However, treatment failures, recrudescence, and reinfection can occur, even after multiple doses. Ivermectin resistance has been documented for some intestinal helminths in animals with intensive ivermectin exposure. Ivermectin resistance has also been induced in arthropods in laboratory experiments but, to date, has not been documented among arthropods in nature. We report clinical and in vitro evidence of ivermectin resistance in 2 patients with multiple recurrences of crusted scabies who had previously received 30 and 58 doses of ivermectin over 4 and 4.5 years, respectively. As predicted, ivermectin resistance in scabies mites can develop after intensive ivermectin use.
Ivermectin is increasingly being used to treat scabies, especially in those with hyperinfestation (crusted or Norwegian scabies) [1, 2]. Scabies is endemic in many remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory of Australia, and a minority of patients develop crusted scabies. Unlike in most reports of crusted scabies, the cases we treat in these communities often involve no overt immunosuppression, and the reason that this select cohort develops hyperinfestation remains unclear [3]. We have been using ivermectin since 1992 to treat >50 patients with crusted scabies. However, treatment failure or early recrudescence is common after single-dose ivermectin, and multiple doses have usually been required to achieve a cure [3]. With adequate treatment, there is excellent clinical response, with crusts fully resolved and normal skin or residual patchy depigmentation. Nevertheless, exposure of these susceptible individuals to scabies in their communities continues, and recurrent crusted scabies several months to a year after initial cure is common [4]. By means of genotyping of Sarcoptes scabiei mites from patients with repeated infestations, we found that, although the majority of recurrent scabies are probably the result of reinfestation from inadequately treated contacts, there was evidence that, in cases of severe crusted scabies, even treatment with 3 doses of ivermectin administered 14 days apart may be inadequate to prevent relapse [5]. We therefore increased the ivermectin regimen for patients with severe crusted scabies to 5 doses (each 200 µg/kg) administered on treatment days 1, 2, 15, 16, and 29, on the basis of a protocol for strongyloidiasis complicating AIDS [6].
By use of a simple in vitro assay to assess the survival of scabies mites on petri dishes coated with various acaricides, we previously found no evidence of decreased ivermectin sensitivity in mites obtained from patients who were administered multiple courses of ivermectin [7], including 1 patient who had had received >50 doses. However, we now report 2 patients with recurrent severe crusted scabies who developed in vivo and in vitro resistance to ivermectin after receiving multiple ivermectin doses.
Materials and Methods
Larvae, nymphal instars, and adult S. scabiei were separated from skin scrapings obtained from patients with crusted scabies before and during treatment. Ovicidal activity was not measured. To circumvent differences in survival ability, all mites were tested within 3 h of being obtained, as described elsewhere [7]. The determination of sensitivity to ivermectin of mite populations was assessed at a concentration of 100 µg/g of ivermectin (Equimec Paste; Merial Australia) diluted in Emulsifying Ointment British Pharmacopoeia 88 (BP88) (Sigma Pharmaceuticals). In earlier studies in our laboratory, we had established 100 µg/g as the ivermectin concentration for in vitro testing, which was adapted from the in vitro acaricidal experiments of Brimer et al. [8]. At a concentration of 100 µg/g ivermectin, we demonstrated a mean S. scabiei mite killing time of 60 min [7]. Approximately 0.1 g of the test product was applied in a thin layer with cotton swabs to the bottom, top, and sides of 36-mm petri dishes. BP88-coated petri dishes were used as controls. Determination of mite survival after placement on the petri dishes was as described elsewhere [7].
Results were analyzed by use of a log-rank test for survival (SPSS software, version 10.0.5; SPSS). The study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Northern Territory Department of Health and Community Services and Menzies School of Health Research.
Case report 1. A 36-year-old Aboriginal woman from a remote coastal community in the tropical Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia sought care in January 2000 for severe crusted scabies involving hands and feet, thighs, trunk, and buttocks. She had a history of recurrent crusted scabies since 1992. The results of multiple immunological investigations, including serological testing for HIV and human T cell leukemia virus 1 (HTLV-1), were negative, and T cell subsets were normal. Since 1995, the patient had received 30 doses of ivermectin, 17 of which were administered during 1999, including 2 doses that were administered in December 1999. A further course of therapy with ivermectin together with topical 5% permethrin cream and topical keratolytic therapy with 10% urea and 5% lactic acid in sorbolene cream was initiated. Live S. scabiei mites from skin scrapings were seen microscopically up to day 26 after commencement of ivermectin therapy, by which time in vitro testing had shown decreased sensitivity of mites, with some mites alive 9 h after in vitro exposure to ivermectin at a concentration of 100 µg/g (figure 1). Because no in vitro resistance to the other acaricides tested was observed, topical 5% permethrin cream was increased to treatment on alternate days, and the condition of the patient's skin steadily improved, with the first clear skin scrapings occurring on day 30 after initiation of therapy. Two months later, the patient had no evidence of scabies, but there was considerable depigmentation of her hands and feet. In April 2001, she again presented with crusted scabies, but in vitro testing showed no ivermectin resistance (figure 1), and she responded to 7 doses of ivermectin administered at a higher dose (21 mg per dose, at a concentration of 280 µg/kg) over a 28-day period with topical 25% benzyl benzoate and keratolytic therapy.

Case report 2. A 47-year-old Aboriginal man from a different remote Top End community presented in August 2000 with severe crusted scabies involving all limbs, buttocks, and lower back. Since 1996, he had received 58 doses of ivermectin for multiple episodes of recurrent crusted scabies. The results of multiple immunological investigations, including serological testing for HIV and HTLV-1, were negative, and T cell subsets were normal. The patient received seven 18-mg doses of ivermectin at a concentration of 270 µg/kg during the next 30 days, together with topical 5% permethrin cream alternating with topical keratolytic therapy with 10% urea and 5% lactic acid in sorbolene cream, and subsequently 12% salicylic acid in cetomacrogel cream. He also required intravenous antibiotics to treat secondary sepsis. Although there was gradual clinical improvement during a month of treatment, multiple live mites were still present on days 12, 19, and 26 after commencement of ivermectin therapy, and the patient had to leave the hospital for family reasons after receiving his seventh dose of ivermectin. The patient subsequently returned to the hospital 3 weeks after receiving his last dose of ivermectin, and the condition of his crusted scabies was clinically worse than at the time of discharge. There were numerous live mites still present. In vitro testing of mites obtained at admission showed some with prolonged survival, after exposure to ivermectin at a concentration of 100 µg/g (figure 2).

Because of the failure of our standard topical therapy regimen and the apparent in vitro and in vivo ivermectin resistance, we commenced therapy with topical 25% benzyl benzoate with tea tree oil added (to make a 5% tea tree oil solution). The rationale for this was that benzyl benzoate and 5% tea tree oil were consistently the topical scabicides that killed scabies mites the quickest in our earlier in vitro studies [7]. The severe burning sensation that the patient felt for several minutes after application of the benzyl benzoate was controlled by inhalation of 50% nitrous oxide/50% oxygen mixture. He was administered 11 doses of the combination topical therapy over a 4-week period, as well as a further 7-dose course of ivermectin therapy (18 mg/dose), and the condition of his skin rapidly improved. Skin scrapings obtained 10 days after this therapy was initiated showed only 2 of 100 mites to be alive, and at 20 days, no mites were present. At discharge, the patient had no clinical or microscopic evidence of scabies, although there was considerable depigmentation of his feet and lower legs. In May 2001, he again presented with crusted scabies, but in vitro testing showed no evidence of ivermectin resistance (figure 2). His illness responded to 6 doses of ivermectin administered over a 21-day period together with topical 25% benzyl benzoate/5% tea tree oil and topical keratolytics.
Figure 3 shows in vitro survival curves for ivermectin exposure for the mites obtained from patients 1 and 2 after their admissions in 2000 (at which time in vivo ivermectin resistance was present), compared with that for mites obtained from patients 1 and 2 at other admissions and that for mites from 3 other patients with crusted scabies.

To our knowledge, this is the first report of in vivo or in vitro ivermectin resistance in S. scabiei. Ivermectin insensitivity or differential responsiveness has emerged as a major problem in a number of intestinal nematodes of goats, sheep, and cattle, with most cases being related to intensive ivermectin use over a period of several years [9, 10]. No ivermectin-resistant arthropod has previously been reported from any animal or human infestations or field situation [9, 10], although there are reports showing ivermectin resistance can be induced in the laboratory under intense drug exposure in the horn fly (Haematobia irritans) [11], fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) [12], and a species of tick (Boophilus microplus) [13].
The potential for development of ivermectin-resistant S. scabiei was a concern in treating our patients, who have required many doses of ivermectin for treatment of their recurrent crusted scabies [5, 7]. Unlike most patients previously documented with crusted scabies, our patients have not had a severe immunosuppressive illness and, therefore, have survived long enough to require an unprecedented number of ivermectin doses. The reason for the development of crusted scabies in our patients remains uncertain, although the possibility of a specific immune defect predisposing them to hyperinfestation with S. scabiei is currently being investigated. Genotyping studies [5] and the development of ordinary scabies in hospital staff who were infected from these patients with crusted scabies make differences in S. scabiei virulence an unlikely explanation.
The exact mechanisms of ivermectin action and resistance remain to be elucidated and appear to vary between organisms. Ivermectin inhibits signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction of some arthropods by stimulating release of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid from presynaptic nerve terminals [2]. However, paralysis and death of invertebrate nerve and muscle cells has also been attributed to ivermectin binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels, resulting in increased chloride ion permeability and hyperpolarization [14]. Ivermectin is also believed to bind to and be transported by a P-glycoprotein membrane transport protein [15]. These efflux pump proteins are thought to be involved in the multidrug-resistance phenotype seen in some human cancers, and mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum gene encoding the P-glycoprotein homologue have recently been shown to confer antimalarial drug resistance [16]. Alterations in P-glycoprotein gene structure and/or its transcription have been described in ivermectin-resistant sheep nematode parasites, Haemonchus contortus [15]. Another potential mechanism for ivermectin resistance is mutation in the glutamate-gated chloride channels that modulate ivermectin activity. There is also support for this mechanism from other studies with H. contortus [17] and from chemical mutagenesis studies in fruit flies [12]. It is therefore possible that, under intense drug selection pressure, mutations of scabies P-glycoprotein encoding genes and/or of the gene family encoding the glutamate-gated chloride channels may account for our cases of ivermectin resistance.
The presence of ivermectin-sensitive mites in the recurrences that our 2 patients experienced in 2001 suggests that the earlier ivermectin-resistant scabies infections were eradicated, but that our patients were reinfected from contacts after they returned to their communities. These 2 patients have had 74 and 91 doses of ivermectin, respectively. Attempts at prophylaxis against recurrent infection by giving monthly ivermectin doses have failed to prevent the infection in several individuals we have treated (unpublished results). We are currently assessing the administration of topical therapy with permethrin or benzyl benzoate once every 2 weeks as prophylaxis for high-risk individuals who have had recurrent crusted scabies. However, we are concerned about the possible emergence of resistance to these topical therapies with such a program. Although resistance of head lice (Pediculus capitis) to 1% permethrin has been widely reported [2, 18], there has to date been no documented clinical evidence of tolerance of scabies mites to 5% permethrin [19], although we reported evidence for increasing in vitro killing time [7]. Our in vitro testing also showed that 25% benzyl benzoate killed scabies mites more quickly than did 5% permethrin [7], but clinical resistance to benzyl benzoate has been suspected elsewhere [20]. Lindane (1% gamma benzene hexachloride) has been successfully used for many years in treating scabies [21], but in vivo and in vitro mite resistance to lindane has occasionally been documented [2, 2224], and lindane has been withdrawn from sale in several countries, including Australia, because of well-documented but rare instances of neurotoxicity and aplastic anemia [25].
The rapid in vitro scabicidal action of 5% tea tree oil [7, 26] and its successful use in combination with benzyl benzoate in 1 of our patients warrants further study of this (and possibly other) combination topical therapies. We found that the combination of 5% tea tree oil in 25% benzyl benzoate killed scabies mites in vitro at least as quickly as benzyl benzoate alone (unpublished observation).
Initial recommendations for the use of ivermectin to treat crusted scabies were for a single dose at a concentration of 200 µg/kg, with a second dose administered 2 weeks later for refractory cases [1]. The importance of concomitant keratolytic therapy and topical scabicides to kill mites in the thick crusts has been emphasized [1, 2, 27, 28]. The difficulty in eradicating scabies mites in patients with particularly severe crusted scabies was supported by the presence of live mites in 1 patient 19 days after ivermectin therapy was initiated, despite a good (but incomplete) clinical response; in vitro testing showing no evidence of ivermectin resistance [28]. A recent comparative study concluded that, in treating cases of ordinary scabies, a single application of 5% permethrin cream was superior to a single 200 µg/kg dose of ivermectin [29]. It was suggested that ivermectin may not be ovicidal because of inadequate penetration of the thick eggshell, as well as possibly being ineffective against the younger stages of the parasite inside the egg because, at that point in the life cycle, the parasite's nervous system has not yet developed. This supports the rationale for a second dose of ivermectin to kill mites emerging from eggs after administration of the first dose. However, the timing of the second dose may be important: a study of experimental scabies challenge in pigs showed efficacy of ivermectin persisting for only 9 days after administration of a single dose [30]. Therefore, a weekly dosing interval may be superior to dosing every 2 weeks in treating cases of crusted scabies. The possibility of the use of doses exceeding 200 µg/kg has also been raised [27, 31].
In light of concerns that a 2-week dosing interval is inadequate, we have further modified our protocol for treating recurrent crusted scabies to a 5-dose regimen with doses of 200 µg/kg administered on days 1, 2, 8, 9, and 15 of therapy, with an additional 2 doses on days 22 and 29 for the most severe cases. Further dosing and dose-interval studies are required in order to define optimal ivermectin regimens for treating crusted scabies of varying degrees of severity.
The emergence of ivermectin resistance in S. scabiei after intensive ivermectin use over a period of several years reflects the failure to control the current community epidemics of scabies in our region, with treated individuals often being reinfected from untreated contacts. There is now an even more urgent reason to focus on community-based prevention and control programs [4, 23].

Foto Ruta Recommends: Mastering Michael Cooper
Michael Cooper's (1943-1971) 'exclusive access' photos of The Rolling Stones have marked him as one of the most highly-regarded celebrity portraitist of the 1960's and early 70's. Those currently in Buenos Aires are lucky. Adam Cooper, the son of the late Michael Cooper, has lent his father's work to the Centro Cultural Borges. The exhibition is called 'Stones 50' and features some of their more candid moments.
But what can we take away from Michael Cooper's work to improve our own photography? Here are some thoughts from the Foto Ruta team.
Photo courtesy of The Michael Cooper Collection
As a personal friend of The Rolling Stones, Michael Cooper was right in the centre of the action. He had both context and subject matter on his side. After all, no one can get enough of the swinging 60's and shooting the rich and famous is always a good idea. However, being able to capture the context and the personality of any subject is no easy feat. — Cooper clearly had a few tricks up his sleeve.
The Role of Background
Cooper's subjects consisted primarily of eccentric musicians and other artists. Each photo provides us with clues into their idiosyncrasies. These clues appear in the form of instruments, clothes, cigarettes and the general surroundings. Photographing your subjects, with the background present, helps reveal their character and interests.

Context in the form of props and background were central to Michael Cooper's work.

So much personality and context becomes transparent through this full body-shot of Keith Richards on a hat-shopping expedition.
The Role of Props
Michael Cooper was aware that he was documenting a special period. This is why context is central to each shot. Cooper even liked to make it ambiguous as to what was the centre of attention in the frame, breaking conventional rules of photography. In some pictures, props and objects appear more focused than the actual face of the subject. Consequently, it is often ambiguous as to which is more important to the shot — the person, or his or her boots!
Notice the difference in focus between these two shots, (see below).
'The Voice' (c.1943) Frank Sinatra photographed by Bill Dudas
'Mick Jacket' (1966) Photo courtesy of The Michael Cooper Collection
By naming the photograph 'Mick Jacket', Cooper gives us a hint about the real centre of focus. It is really just a re-vamped version of this portrait of Frank Sinatra in his "The Voice" hey-day (top image). But the change in focus, from face to jacket, is intriguing.
Props not only give an idea of context, but also can help put your subject at ease.
Notice below, the use of Marianne Faithfull's hat as a prop. This is serving as a distraction from the camera's lense. Cooper's subjects have become natural, and almost childlike. Photographing people while they are preoccupied is a prime opportunity to grab your camera.
Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull photographed by Cooper in the late 1960's
Photograph Your Amigos
As a personal friend of The Stones, Cooper could photograph his subjects continuously, without organising a formal photo shoot. Marianne Faithfull referred to Cooper a "lay saint" who "hovered over the scene with single-lens-reflex-eye, invisibly ever present." Photographing people that feel comfortable in your presence is a great start to capturing candid moments.
Capturing Cooper's Candidness
Michael Cooper is 'the king of candid' because he was able to capture the personality of the subject, as well as the mood the moment. Perhaps we can all take notes from Cooper. When shooting people you find interesting or eccentric, include objects and surroundings that act to identify the subject's profession or hobby. By doing so, their personality will become instantly apparent. Also, try out photographing people who feel comfortable with having you around.
Many great photos are taken each week at our Foto Ruta Weekly Tours. Below are a sample taken by some of our Foto Ruta participants.

'Stones 50'
1973, Michael Cooper died of a heroin overdose at just 31 years of age. Leaving his life's work to his son, Cooper wrote of his will, "In it I am putting everything I own and have, my work mostly.. [It] will eventually be worth something, I'm sure."
Stones 50' is featuring at the Centro Culturo Borges in Buenos Aires until the 3rd March 2014.
