Arts@Lehigh would like to remind our readers that the university's annual Move Out Collection Drive has started this week, and will run through Friday, May 24th.
Students who will be packing up at the end of the semester are encouraged to donate unwanted clothing, linens, electronics, school supplies, household items, furniture, and unopened food at designated locations within each residence hall or at Windish Hall (across from Rauch Business Center on East Packer Avenue).
Students, staff and faculty are also welcome to participate by volunteering to help by picking up donations and/or sorting them at Windish Hall in any shift from today through May 24th. Volunteers also needed to support the incredibly large, and amazingly heart warming Great South Side Sale coming up on Saturday, June 1st, at St. John's Windish Church (corner of Fourth and Buchanan streets).
To volunteer in any capacity, please to go to http://www.lehigh.edu/~inserve/moveout.shtml
Proceeds from this sale will fund Lehigh University's Afterschool Homework Clubs for South Bethlehem children; an important piece of our community school partnerships, and support for education in our community.
In addition to benefiting this worthwhile cause, the sale also helps recycle much-needed items back into the community, at extremely affordable prices. We really don't want to see shameful waste in the dumpsters.
Unwanted items can be taken directly to Windish Hall from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m – Monday through Friday until May 24th, or at approved locations in Residence Halls.
More information can be found at http://www.lehigh.edu/moveout or by calling 610-758-6674 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. To read more about the Move Out Sale, please read this news article by Lehigh Communications writer, Bill Doherty (2010).
Remember that great family feeling we had at the Lehigh MOOV-in last August? This is another way to know you're doing good in the world.

Check this out: Lil Wayne may not know the exact release date for his final album, but he does know that'll be his swan song to rap.
The New Orleans artist will release "I Am Not A Human Being II" in February, and then, as he told MTV, he'll look ahead to ending his career with "Tha Carter V."
Now I understand about wanting to walk away but before you walk away you have to have a plan b sometimes even a plan c but check out his back up plan: "I'd be a skater/sports analyst," Wayne told MTV of his post-rap plans. "My day job will probably be sports analyst, and I'll skate all night instead of being in the studio all night."
So what do you think is this lil wayne's next career move. Leave your comment.
Know what you do and do what you know.

Yes, it's too long. Yes, it's confusing at times. And no, the logic doesn't necessarily hold up. But anyone who doesn't love this film is just a grouchy old curmudgeon.
As Captain Jack Sparrow replies to "You're the worst pirate I've ever heard of," spoken by the Commodore: "But you have heard of me."
By now the whole world has heard of Captain Jack Sparrow. And is a richer world for it.

Zac Efron who recently completed his rehab for cocaine steps out for a movie date night with actress Lily Collins. After the movie, the pair were all smiles while walking side by side to the car.
'The Lucky One' star seemed to be very much into the young actress as he kept looking in her direction with a smile on his face. Once the twosome reached the parking structure, they hopped into Zac's car and made their way out together. Could this be the beginning of a new relationship? Photos: GSI MEdia.

The good news for the solar industry keeps on comin'.
Each year, the industry has been growing -- not hard when you're so small, but still.
Now, or the first time, solar energy accounted for all new utility electricity generation capacity added to the U.S. grid in March, the Solar Energy Industries Association is announcing. The group cites the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC's) March 2013 "Energy Infrastructure Update."
More than 44 megawatts of solar electric capacity was brought online from seven projects in California, Nevada, New Jersey, Hawaii, Arizona, and North Carolina.
And with it, no new coal, no new nuclear, no new natural gas. No anything other than solar.
"This speaks to the extraordinary strides we have made in the past several years to bring down costs and ramp up deployment," said Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, in a press release.
"Since 2008, the amount of solar powering U.S. homes, businesses and military bases has grown by more than 600 percent—from 1,100 megawatts to more than 7,700 megawatts today. As FERC's report suggests, and many analysts predict, solar will grow to be our nation's largest new source of energy over the next four years."
New Jersey is a national leader -- albeit No. 3 lately, instead of No 2, a position it held onto for years.
Pennsylvania is far down on the list, but interesting things are happening nonetheless. In Monday's Health & Science section, I'll be writing about the new array of 11,000 solar panels -- and 14 small wind turbines -- at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles' stadium.

I thought I'd pay tribute to shockabilly pioneers, The Cramps. I'm afraid that I took them for granted over the years--they were just always THERE, playing on a constant basis since the mid-70s. That is until singer/songwriter Lux Interior's sudden and tragic death last year. He and his wife, Poison Ivy (such an underrated and fantastic guitarist) were as much about rock & roll as any classic performers before or since.
Footage from the Prelinger Archives, the archive that makes filmmaking fun and affordable. (It's a model of a larynx--get your minds out of the gutter.)
Most memorable Cramps show for me: The Fillmore one Halloween many years ago. I was wearing a blond wig and dressed in a vinyl Barbie kids-costume while subbing for a janitor that couldn't work the show. So I was cleaning out the women's room and sweeping up broken glass throughout the night. They didn't make me mop the vomit on the dance floor though--the twin-brother janitors had to do that--thank you Bill Graham Presents! I think I made $50 for a night's work and the Fillmore was glamorous for me never more. But that's what rock is all about.

Happy Day! I made both of these cards yesterday for the free for all challenge on SCS to use orange on our projects. The top card uses MFP's Just Dandy stamp set. I stamped it in versamark and clear embossed. Next, I brayered on pink pirouette and only orange. Used a sponge to add the pink passion.
My second card uses the Three flowers with butterfly image and welcome sentiment from DRS Designs. I colored the image in with shimmerz paints and used a crinkled up piece of paper for the shimmerz background. Liquid pearls used as well and the fun baker's twine from MFP's.

Original Link: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2009/04/22/the_conservative_cries_of_fascism/
By Scot Lehigh
I'M NOT ONE who thinks the right is dead in this country. If conservatism can learn from its losses, adapt, and modernize, the movement should continue to play an important role in American politics.
And yet, analytic introspection is hardly what we've seen since November. Instead, any number of conservative commentators have come down with the vapors.
That hysteria is regularly in evidence on "fair and balanced" Fox News. Witness, for example, Cody Willard, who reported for Fox from the anti-tax "tea party" on Boston Common last week. Inveighing against "the $800 billion Republican-Democrat fascist stimulus package," Willard posed this question: "Guys, when are we gonna wake up and start fighting the fascism that seems to be permeating this country?"
Willard managed to give his charge a veneer of nonpartisanship by including Republicans as among the sinners. Make no mistake, however: Cries of fascism are fast emerging as the favored conservative criticism of the Obama administration. You can see why: Given its inextricable link to Mussolini and Hitler, fascism carries no end of unsavory connotations. And, of course, charges of socialism haven't stuck to Obama.
But wait. Where is the extreme militaristic nationalism that the Encyclopedia Britannica tells us is fundamental to fascism? The contempt for electoral democracy and cultural liberalism? The effort to subordinate the individual to an authoritarian state?
Those are matters an intelligent commentator would want to consider before invoking the term. Not that that would deter Willard, who obviously won't be winning a MacArthur Foundation genius grant anytime soon. Fascism, he explained, is "big business and government gettin' in bed together." Still, it's puzzling that conservatives, who have waxed wroth about CNN's Susan Roesgen's hostile, unprofessional reporting from the Chicago tea party, have hardly uttered a peep about Willard's ludicrous performance.
He's not the only Fox personality who sees fascism around every corner, mind you.
"Like it or not, fascism is on the rise," Fox host Glenn Beck told his viewers this month. Sly Foxie that he is, Beck quickly added this qualifier: "That doesn't mean the Adolf Hitler kind of fascism."
Now, I'm confused. If it doesn't mean that, then why did Beck feature Nazi footage on the screen behind him as he launched into his rant? And why is he so prone to drawing analogies between contemporary America and Nazi Germany?
Here's one measure of how wacky he's become: His repeated assertions that Obama is moving the country toward fascism has provoked deep skepticism from fellow Fox host Bill O'Reilly, who, let's remember, is no stranger to simple-minded conservative bombast. Noting that his phones aren't tapped and that the government wasn't harassing him, O'Reilly recently told Beck that "I have just as much freedom now as I've ever had."
Ah, but the government is merely gathering its power, explained Beck, who issued this ominous warning: "You're about to not have freedom."
Proceed a few steps further toward tinfoil hat territory, and there you find Sean Hannity, who takes a back seat to no one - well, perhaps Michael Savage - in the cause of advancing idiocy on the nation's airwaves. Hannity, you'll recall, is the one who last fall gave kooky character assassin Andy Martin a platform to claim that Obama's time as a Chicago community organizer was actually "training for a radical overthrow of the government."
"The administration is on a mission to hijack capitalism in favor of collectivism," Hannity recently proclaimed. "The Bolsheviks have already arrived."
Nor are the squawking heads the only conservatives trafficking in the preposterous. Newt Gingrich recently asserted that Democrats are trying to move the country "towards a political dictatorship." Texas Governor Rick Perry last week suggested that his state might someday secede from the union.
No, this lunacy doesn't represent the totality of the right or even of its commentators. Yet it's prominent enough that starboard-side writer David Horowitz has expressed concern over the movement's "over-the-top hysteria" about Obama.
It's a problem that thinking conservatives should care about. After all, political rebuilding won't be easy if conservatism's loudest voices are those who sound as though they've just escaped from the asylum.

Haven't gave much of an update on my life so here are the highlights:
-I had shitty grades last semester. No really i simply gave up and stopped going. I literally made all f's. How the fuck does that happen? Oh right.
-My pipe broke. Tragic I know. So my collection now consists of: a bong named Aqua'nisha, a bong i gave sole custody to Jay named Penelope, a broken pipe, a hookah named Genie. My first pipe has been missing for years now.
-This is old news now but i got fired from my job for smoking weed on the patio. It was so fucking stupid but no customers were buying and the employees were in the back. Isn't that awesome sauce. They fired me based off a customer complaint about it. Needless to say at least i learned my lesson smoking at work.
-Back in classes now. Im taking a class called beverage survey where you get to try all type of wine and beers n other drinks. Im also retaking a few classes this semester.
Take lots of illegal drugs and drink 3 gallons of watee a day!

So I knocked out another 900 words yesterday afternoon and am feeling much better about my productivity. They were for a different story – The Curacao Caper, which I'm writing with Mark – not Bones, but at least my fingers were kept busy on the keyboard.
Sometimes that's enough.
I'd discuss the whole concept of setting yourself a word quota, but that'll have to wait for another time. Right now I've got an errand that MUST be run this morning. When I get back in an hour (or less, I hope) I'll dive back into Bones, where I am beginning to see my way through again.

Heroic? Not to be unAmerican or anything, but what's heroic about 40 or so professional killers breaking into a private home in the middle of the night to murder an unarmed, and apparently sick on kidney dialysis old man together with other unarmed men, women and children?
Not to mention, that we only have the unsupported word of a proven liar, George 2nd, and his minions and cohorts, that the old man was even involved. Why the rush to secretly dispose of the body? Why the refusal to publish the pictures? Life magazine published pictures of the Nazi death camps and other instances of man's inhumanity, probably as brutal or more so, and we weren't hurt by them. Was the old man even murdered by our new Assassin in Chief, G. Bush Jr., aka Obama? What are they hiding?
If he was in fact guilty, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? A trial would have been inconvenient, slowing down if not stopping the blood lust of the US. What if he'd stood trial and been proven innocent? Or if he was guilty why not take him alive, (after all it would only have required the restraint of one killers trigger finger), and bring him here to find out what he knew? I'm sure if guilty he'd have known a lot we should know and now never will because Obama the Assassin preferred him dead. Why? Obama keeps saying that justice has been done. I find that just as offensive, how is murdering a defenseless, sick old man justice? Even if guilty as sin the actions of vigilantes performing a defacto lynching is wrong. He should have been brought here and tried. Calling it an act of war is just another lie, he did not resist.
Final point why does the kill squad, (who ever thought the US would condone, let alone use murder squads like some Central American dictatorship), feel the need to hide their identities, if this was in fact on the up and up? If it was on the up and up, I'd be proud to take credit, if it were me.
This is NOT the USA that I was born in, when and why did it turn into Nazi Germany, the USSR, Cambodia, or some Central American murder capital? This country is on a fast slide down the tubes, and our "leaders" seem to be pushing us to slide faster.
Here is a link to the article Link to Article
One thing I've come across since posting this is, and I wasn't aware of this, there was a huge reward, 25 million or so, for the capture of Osama, dead or alive I guess. Of course dead is easier. So in fact the killers were less military "heros" and more bounty hunters. Are they going to split up the money between the whole team including the dog that may or may not have been there, or just give it to the one killer who shot him in the head.
Or perhaps because they were military, Obama gets the 25 million as the "leader"???? Better yet the government keeps it, not paying it out to employees, they really can't afford to pay it out anyway.

I'm a lover of nappies in a pail. Not so much the soiled stinky ones, but I do get real satisfaction from filling up the nappy pail with cloth nappies. After washing them, I enjoy pulling them out the machine and oh hanging them on the line. Yes that is satisfying especially if there's a breeze.
I use shaped nappies and wraps, prefolds, bamboo squares, Bumgenious, Nature babies, Diddy Diapers, Bambino Mio, One Life, fleece liners - I got a huge pile of seconds from a local supplier. And they're all great. I even use cloth wipes, and thinking about buying some for me apres wees to save loo roll.
Today as I was soaking them, I wondered how many do we use? In the first few months of having twins we used about 14 nappies a day between them, as they got older they use less but I'd say we use 6-8 a day now. So being a year old.. Let me estimate they have used 2,779 nappies. By the time they have decided to use no nappies, I estimate that we'll have used 7,159 nappies. Apparently most babies use 8,000-10,000 each in 3 years so I've grossly underestimated. I guess if we used only disposables, that'd fill a room or two? So I personally couldn't live with putting that much waste in landfill.
But it's so easy to do. So easy to throw those nappies in the bin and never think of them again, conveniently lost in the fortnightly collection.
I admit, at the moment I still use Eco disposables at night, if I can really call them that. Perhaps if I work out how many we will use in the next two years I'll make the change to total cloth nappies. Right 1,465 nappies. Okay... That's a lot. It's worth a try especially at 13p a nappy. So I'd save £189.80 by not using a disposable at night.
I think about buying any friend that's had a baby just one cloth nappy and a couple of cloth wipes - if that nappy is used just twice a week for two years - then that's saving 208 nappies going to landfill.
Come on! Let's make the change.

Sometimes you come across some little gems – in this case the Medicare Local in the Hunter Valley has produced a 5 minute video on pain and placed it on YouTube. This is an excellent practical example of collaboration between the Hunter Medicare Local and the Hunter Integrated Pain Services (HIPS) at the John Hunter Hospital. The aim of the project is to improve access to pain management in primary care.
The project began with sponsorship from the National Prescribing Service to strengthen the links between primary care and specialist pain clinic clinicians.
One of the first outcomes of this project has been the development of a short educational video "Understanding pain and what to do about it in less than five minutes". The development of the video was seen as particularly important because it allows communication of the pain message in a clear and concise format and more importantly is one that patients are comfortable and familiar with. Additionally the benefit of a short educational video is that it provides busy clinicians with a tool that can be utilized during patient consultations.

The Department of Health and Ageing will be rolling out a program to provide a single supplementary dose of Prevenar13® from 1 October 2011 to those children aged between 12 and 35 months who have completed their primary pneumococcal vaccination with Prevenar7®. This will give these children protection against an additional six serotypes of pneumococcal disease.
Over the next six months the Commonwealth will notify by mail the parents of those children who are eligible for this supplementary dose of Prevenar13®. If parents or providers need further information, it will be available at http://immunise.health.gov.au/
The Australian Childhood Immunisation Register or ACIR is working to ensure that all Prevenar13® data is captured when entered by providers. They have been interacting with the software providers to deal with recent issues and are also looking to capture the data which has been lodged as Prevenar7® instead of Prevenar13® by checking the batch numbers.
DoHA has issued an alert regarding a recently identified cluster of cases of oseltamivir resistant pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza identified in the Hunter New England area of NSW. At this stage, the trivalent seasonal vaccine remains the most effective prevention for influenza. Visit www.racgp.org.au/healthalerts/44116.
The latest Immunisation Newsletter from Dept of Health is here.
When prescribing a medication you reach the Enter dose window where you can select:
· Product supplied here (for samples)
· Advised or prescribed elsewhere (e.g. by a specialist)
The problem with this is that the Quantity isn't specified, once you complete the script. Rather than using the above 2 options, prescribe as normal and once finished prescribing remove the printer icon by double clicking on it.
Question: Do you know how to add in the doctor's name on the recall letters when we generate recall letters for care plans/health assessments etc.?
Answer: Yes you can add the recall doctor's name. You can even go that one step further and include the recall date (although if the one patient has more than one recall, it doesn't put both dates in). You need to modify your recall template by adding fields as shown below.
Dear <<Patient Demographics:Greeting>>

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

here. This kind of reflection can:
be abstract or philosophical;
focus on characters in any work of fiction;
address real persons and situations.
Because we are on the Poul Anderson Appreciation blog, we can stay with Flandry. In one novel, he gathers crucial intelligence by having sex with a married woman. Conventionally, this is immoral. In Flandry's view, and also in my view, it is not. It harms no one, gives pleasure to two people and advances Flandry's mission when the fates of worlds are at stake.
Let's return to a more abstract level of discussion. Example: Flandry wants to perform action x but believes that x is wrong and is very strong willed. Outcome: Flandry does not do x because his will is stronger than his want. However, Flandry did not choose to want x, did not choose to believe that x was wrong and did not choose to be strong willed. He might have been weak willed in which case he would have done x. For social and legal purposes, we must continue to regard Flandry as responsible for his actions unless a medical report says otherwise. But ultimately Flandry did not choose any of the factors that determined whether or not he did x. Philosophically, I cannot avoid a determinist conclusion.

I really, really LOATHE the Baen Books covers for the Flandry stories! They make Dominic Flandry look like a goon whose preference was to cavort with naked bimbos! And Flandry was so much MORE than a luxury loving sybarite!

Hot off the success of PBS's series Victoria, we have our first trailer for Victoria & Abdul, a film that covers the English queen's later life.
Victoria & Abdul chronicles an unexpected friendship late in the rule of Queen Victoria. When Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he ends up striking up an odd but warm friendship with the aging monarch, much to the disappointment of her household and inner circle.
Directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, Philomena), Victoria & Abdul looks sure to charm its viewers with this strange and little known pairing based on the book Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen's Closest Confidant by Shrabani Basu. Also starring Michael Gambon and Eddie Izzard, Victoria & Abdul comes to theaters this fall on September 29, 2017.

Toxins in water under Tennessee power plant causing alarm
Source: Associated Press
Adrian Sainz, Associated Press Updated
7:05 pm, Friday, July 14, 2017
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Memphis residents are as proud of their sweet-tasting water as their barbecue and blues. The water drawn from the Memphis Sand aquifer beneath this Tennessee city is so revered that a city utility called it a "community treasure" in an online report on its cleanliness.
So alarms went off after state environmental officials and the Tennessee Valley Authority revealed this week that high levels of arsenic and lead had been found in groundwater beneath the coal-fired Allen Fossil Plant in southwest Memphis. The toxins were detected in wells where pollution is monitored from ponds that hold coal ash the dirty byproduct left from burning coal to generate electricity.
One well had arsenic at levels more than 300 times the federal drinking-water standard. The monitoring wells run about 50 feet (15 meters) deep and are about a half-mile (.8 kilometer) from far deeper wells drilled by the TVA directly into the Memphis Sand aquifer. Next year, the TVA plans to pump 3.5 million gallons (13.2 million liters) of water out of the aquifer per day to cool a natural gas power plant that is replacing the aging Allen coal plant.
A layer of clay lies between the groundwater and the aquifer. This prompted the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, through spokesman Eric Ward, to state that it is "confident the contaminants found in TVA wells at the Allen Fossil Plant are not impacting drinking water."

16. Can't forget this about Perrier though
The company that made bottled mineral water chic is voluntarily recalling its entire inventory of Perrier from store shelves throughout the United States after tests showed the presence of the chemical benzene in a small sample of bottles.
The impurity was discovered in North Carolina by county officials who so prized the purity of Perrier that they used it as a standard in tests of other water supplies.
The Food and Drug Administration said it is testing supplies in California and other states. In a written statement issued last night, Ronald V. Davis, president of the Perrier Group of America Inc., said there was no significant health risk to the public. But the statement did not go into the details of the recall, how it would work, the number of bottles to be recalled and the impact on a company that has built its success on its product's image of purity and stylishness.
William M. Grigg, a spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration, said his agency's Hazard Evaluation Board had collected samples of Perrier and found no immediate risk to the public from the benzene in the water.
The company took a big hit after the recall.

5. I always like the stories to be complete.
If there's Pb and As at 300 times the federal limit, I like them to say the actual amounts with error bars to show repeated sampling, and I like them to explicitly say that the levels have increased by saying what the previous tests in that spot were and what levels are farther from the hot spot they're discussing.
It lets the inference everybody draw just possibly be valid. Perhaps that would put the kibosh on the story except as pure information, or make it a huge problem that's been there forever. Either way, change suddenly isn't the issue.
I've been caught too many times by articles that are like this, but if you dig and *can* find the numbers you realize the story's warped. Either the data are part of a much larger problem or an older problem. So there were instances of water catching on fire because of dissolved methane near where fracking was occurring; inference is fracking caused it, but you could find news stories decades before fracking dealing with the same problem in the same area. Or there are high levels of As in one pumping station, but it turns out it's not because of industry but because of the kind of rock that the well's digging through, or it's widespread and not at that one station. Or they tested water 20 times, and 19 times it showed 0.002 ppm of whatever and one time 150 ppm--but the story only cites the outlier, without mentioning it's probably a mistake.
Even the Flint, MI, story was annoying. It was like pulling hen's teeth to get distribution data, which showed that much of the town was unaffected. But in those areas reporters still managed to find water samples that were contaminated because of lead pipes in the building not contaminated water entering the building--the contamination starting in the walls and probably having happened for decades. The truth should never be subservient to a reporter's Truth. Even if reducing the sensationalism reduces the outrage.
At the same time, there have been a lot of stories like this where the inference--"there's contamination and something must be done"--is exactly right. Then adding the background would confirm the rightness of the inference and it's appropriate to be outraged. Either way, the background is a win.

9. In Flint, the lead pipes have always been there, but the change in the water started leaching lead
at a much higher rate. The water previously reacted with the lead to form a protective layer in the pipes. So while there was some level of lead leaching into the water all along, it used to be so small as to not be a major hazard. Your notion that "the contamination starting in the walls and probably having happened for decades" contains the very concept you are railing against.
Doesn't matter where the lead enters the water, it was the predicable change in the water's ability to pull lead from the pipes that was the story.
Suggesting that the reporting of lead and arsenic in ground water under where coal ash is stored is based on one outlier test is ridiculous. Having worked in an environmental testing lab, doing inorganic and metals analysis, I can safely say that when gets a result 300 times the federal limit for drinking water, you immediately retest the hell out that well. You certainly don't report it to the media, you don't report it at all until you conclusively prove that you haven't screwed up.
I once detected mercury from a monitoring well at an auto wrecking site at just above the detection limit, the absolute minimum of what can be found. It was cause for resampling and retesting by multiple analysts before the results were accepted as an actual finding. A detection at 300 times the drinking water standards would be cause for a full study.
Your post tries to cast doubt on two cases of environmental contamination and only serves the "business as usual" corporate line. Yes, details matter, but the general public doesn't understand the details of chemical analysis, they are rarely reported in a main stream media release.

15. If the information is from monitoring wells
then these are actually monitoring the areas where the material was landfilled. A bunch of different heavy metals leach out of coal ash if it is allowed to get wet. By definition, fly and bottom ash in not handled as a hazardous waste even if the material actually meets the definition of hazardous waste via standard leaching methods. Coal ash is kind of nasty to begin with. Besides heavy metals, some of the material can actually be slightly radioactive (depending on the source).
My guess is the disposal area is old and there is little to no lining material underneath the ash. In a worst case scenario the material may actually be inundated by ground water. The fact that the monitoring wells are that contaminated tells me the material was not properly disposed of. Either the cap material to prevent water from seeping down into the coal ash has been compromised or the liner (if there is anything at the bottom of the material at all other than "natural clay" has failed. If it's in the monitoring wells then it is quite capable of migrating off site.

Stored coal ash is a huge water quality issue. Virginia Dominion Power almost succeeded in getting permission to dump a huge quantity of stored coal ash into the James River, the water supply for Richmond. It took a suit by local activists to stop that.
As for Memphis, they would be advised to refrain from using clean water from a vital water-supply aquifer to cool a power plant.

17. I was thinking the same thing about the power plant
Why the hell do they need clean water for cooling? Not to mention, why would they need a continuous supply? Can't they recycle it? Pump the used water to the surface, let it cool and reuse it. Apologies in advance if that's a stupid idea.

Applying Leadership Theories 3
Applying Leadership Theories Essay
Leeann Dooley
Grand Canyon University: EDA 575
May 4th, 2011
Leadership styles are similar to teaching styles in that they require a certain amount of flexibility and adaptability; in reality, there is no singular ideal theory. In this way, the study of leadership and the management of the same, as shown by the previous discussion theories about leadership, are multidimensional. However, in reading through various studies on the subject, two come to the forefront as being more applicable than others: Transformational Leadership Theory and the Servant Leadership Theory since both stress the importance of communication and trust amongst administration, staff, and faculty. Transformational Leadership Theory
Transformational Leadership theory was developed in 1978 by James McGregor Burns, "who saw leadership as the motivation of followers to achieve goals that met individual as well as the changing needs of the organization" (Giles, 2006, p. 259). "Transformational leaders are visionaries, role models, and facilitators who prepare their employees to work in dynamic environment" (Hawkins, 2009, p 43). Burns later expanded his theory, by adding that "transformational leaders manage with morals, tenacity, selflessness and have good political skills" (Hawkins, 2009, p 43). This leadership theory has continued to evolve over time with the changing of the world. A more modern take on transformational leadership theory in education would be as follows: "A transformational leader typically has a charismatic vision and personality and is able to inspire his followers to accept change at their school. This leader acts as a moral agent who raises consciousness about professional practices and values in the school. He encourages educational creativity and innovation and fosters a sense of ownership by motivating others to commit to his vision. He does this by considering the specific needs of those who answer to him, thereby empowering them to change. (Cleary, 2011)
Transformational Leadership Theory Flaws
Although in theory a Transformational leader appears to encompass the mind set to lead a school district into the future, this study is also not without flaws. "Because environmental conditions are constantly changing, leadership must be able to manipulate the organizational culture to ensure the system's ability to adapt to and survive in the environment through the evolution of new cultural assumptions" (Razik, 2010, p.95). Major problems arise when "assumptions" become almost impossible to predict in an expanded school culture. Schools now need to adapt to conditions beyond their control as mandates from the State are increasing at a rapid rate while funding is decreasing just as quickly from both a state and local level. Transformational Leaders who have expressed their goals and ideals and been have been able to put them into practice with the support and cooperation of the faculty and staff are now faced with watching those goals suddenly stalled by unforeseen circumstances that go beyond the theory of being able to adapt and change. Any plans for the future become nearly impossible to implement under these conditions since the future, due to funding, is now so unpredictable. The practice of a unified vision under the realm of a well-liked and respected leader becomes non-existent when monies are limited, agreements become severed, and everyone views his or her concepts as being the most important to the needs of the district. The "consistency and constancy" that created the trust and unity amongst the administration, staff/faculty, and the community is no longer apparent, causing distention within the school organization (Hawkin, 2009).
Servant Leadership Theory
Although similar to the theory of Transformational Leadership in its use of open communication between the faculty and...

The One with the Secret Closet is amusing enough, but it seemed more of the same. Monica stays in character as disorganized in a plot line that she doesn't even appear in - Chandler wanting to find out what's in Monica's closet.
Rachel has false labor pains: it's an overused sit-com theme line. The twist on the doctor's confusion about who the father is is cut, but hardly ground breaking.
The final sub-plot deals with Phoebe's unwillingness to keep Monica on as a massage client, because of the perceived sexual responses. Again, it was amusing enough, but the stereotypes of the role characters were too exaggerated.

I've never liked giving introductions. I'd like to think there's more to me than just a sentence or two, dashed off for quick reference and easy recall. I'd like to think that people are deeper and more complex than they may seem at first glance, that initial impressions aren't always accurate. And, most of all, I'd like to believe that we are genuinely interested in each other, that we actually want to know more about each other than "Hi, my name's X and I'm from Y and next year I'm going to Z."
If you agree with me - then you're in the right place.
Welcome to Emergent.
This blog is not just about me and my life - it is also about you. Without you, this blog would have no reason to exist. I'm writing this, not because I believe I have anything special to say, but because I know have nothing special to say. Most of what I write about is simply going to be my life, my everyday adventures and misadventures, the small sorrows and the tiny joys that make up human existence. But my life is not your life; your life is not mine. We both have things to learn from each other, and I think that is the true joy and power of blogging.
If this is all getting too heavy and philosophical - I'm kind of beginning to bore myself - I apologize. Hopefully you are still awake and haven't yet clicked your back button.
Please, stay a while. It can only get better from here.

I had a job interview allllll the way back in July and got told i got the job on the 17 or so of July. I will be finally starting the job in a couple of weeks including trainging in York. Dont really know why its taken so long its been dis-hearting.
Got to see old friends recently and catch up it was nice and fun, started playing monkey island and the Alice maddness returns game. And a random vampire PC game its been okies so far even tho i little complicated.
Instead of doing a fashion/girly item this week decided to show you my new room. My parents were kind enough to get me a new bed and a new shelf and make my room pretty. Ive had my room and bed in a cluttered way for years so it really needed it.
Oh the things that have happened in this room.
Since i have became a book hoarder and collector of odd things over time i did need the extra shelf space.
Things such as ornaments and my Beatix Potter collection but thats for another time and another post.
Hoorah new bed!
Birdie curtains always the best! Like a boss!
Im sure i will enjoy my new...space. Now on to fix the art room and it will not be kind.
Also the Charity Exhibition im in starts tomorrow so excited!
I made tinfoilroses and bussiness cards for it to be taken for it.
If i dont see you there hope you have a good weekend, see you on Monday Muse!

Mavericks Introduction
2010 the start of our journey.
After reading Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman and reaching 40 and over, it became obvious to my husband,Tony Gedge, and myself that although our lives were full and rewarding, it lacked purpose, a sort of gap that we needed to move into.
More importantly, I believe that purpose creates passion, fulfilment and helps your life flow with energy and adventure that goes beyond money.
Since that time, we have been working towards a sustainable oral health programme in Morocco, for children.
The original Mavericks took on our massive challenge in year one, need to be thanked. First off, as without them, the Dental Mavericks Charity would not have been born.
In no particular order …
Jaspal Sandhu (High Street Dental Practice) — he was put forward for the trip by his daughter, did not know any of the team and is now a valued member of the Mavericks' family. He is a special guy who lifts a team up when most needed and always keeps his amazing sense of humour at all times.
In September 2015, Jas honoured Dental Mavericks by becoming a valued trustee.
Michael Oliver (Oliver's Dental) — the stunning photography Michael has taken on our trips to Morocco has in no doubt grown the project quicker than expected.
Who can resist those amazing images, bringing to life our purpose and work in Morocco, but more importantly transferring into everyone's hearts the beautiful smiles of the Moroccan children.
Chris Branfield (Castle Park Dental Care) — Chris did not hesitate year one in our fumbled first project and now is a valued trustee and advisor to the project, his passion for the kids of Morocco shines through each year and in 2012 he was our biggest fundraiser for Mavericks.
Teresa Day (Appledore Dental Clinic) — Teresa took the challenge with us in 2010 and has since been back in 2012 and 2016. She is a valued member of the team and her restorative work last year was a gift to the kids and put beautiful smiles back on their faces.
And Domien Doms!
Domien first introduced us to El Jebah way back in 2010, when he discovered the village on a cycling trip with his dad, and is a major communicator for our organisation. Using his gift of languages and charm he puts a smile on anyone's face whatever the situation.
Who else ?
Richard Howarth joined Mavericks in 2011 and is now a trustee and advisor to the Charity, a much needed mentor on our monthly calls. Richard and his team at Smile Style Dental Care Centre have carried out some amazing fundraising projects. In 2012 Richard dived with sharks!
In 2013 the Smile Style team did a Smile Style Ride, Run and Row at their local gym, Virgin Active, Stafford, to El Jebha covering 1778 miles and raising over 1200 pounds for Dental Mavericks. Because of all that Richard was awarded the Maverick of Mavericks 2013.
Dental Mavericks is also now working with many practices, nurses and dentists who again will leave a legacy in Morocco in the years to come by taking children in the Rif and Atlas Mountains out of daily dental pain.
A massive task which takes commitment time and unbelievable energy from everyone involved.
I salute all of you, for your time and energy on these projects.
The legacy is the gift of oral health for children, given by the amazing team of Dental Mavericks .
What next?
We are collaborating with the Eve Branson Foundation who have projects set up in the Atlas to take the children from the village of Azni out of daily dental pain.
Finally, we are totally inspired by Rifcom.org, this group of extraordinary forward thinking people have invited Dental Mavericks to collaborate on projects where they have built schools and trust in rural communities of the Rif Mountains.

To be a fair king or queen is not easy. You have many duties, you have to defend and protect your people and, sometimes, you have to make choices for the sake of your country, even if they don't make you happy.
This is the first lesson Mary Stuart was taught. She was the Queen of Scots but she was raised in France to marry Francis, Dauphin of France. In this way France and Scotland were united under one crown. When Mary was 9 months, she became queen and her destiny was marked forever.
The TV series "Reign" tells her story, her wishes and her ambition. It will take you inside Queen Mary's world , showing the good aspects of being a Queen and the negative ones.
Naturally, many events, twists and turns in this long tv series have been invented and highly romanticized. Many things didn't happen at all in history and many episodes include fantasy elements.
Reign started in 2013 and this year it is going to end and in a few days we will see the last episode for good.
I have always loved "Reign" and I've seen all its episodes. What I'd like to do here to celebrate this lovely series is to list the best moments in a TOP 5 BEST SCENES. Here we go!
1.How it all started (1x01)
This is the beginning of everything, this is the first dance of Mary and her friends. This scene, taken from the pilot, shows Mary's sweet personality. Here she is still a carefree girl and her only wish is to have fun with her friends. But I think at that very moment Mary and Francis fall in love. The falling feathers create an atmosphere which brings them back in time, when they were just children and played together .
2. Mary deceives Louis Prince of Condé (2x22)
Who would have thought it! His big love, Queen Mary , betrays him. During the battle with King Francis Mary decides to deceive Louis , hurting him. Sincerely I would have never expected Mary to be able to do such a thing. I must tell the truth , I was very happy when I saw this scene because Mary had chosen Francis…. And , well ….I shipped Frary so much, and Francis is my favourite character! Long live the King!!
3. Francis's Letter (3x15)
Well…the last famous words… During this scene I cried lot. What can I say? Francis didn't deserve to die…I loved his personality, he was so sweet and generous . Francis was such a great character, he loved Mary with all his heart even when she had hurt him. He always tried to do the right thing , to be a good King and a good husband. In this scene Francis gives Mary his last gift and he left her a letter to express all his love for her. I love Francis and I was so sad when he died!
4.Brotherhood (1x22)
A short scene but full of feelings. King Henry has just died and now Francis is the new king. But nobody knows Henry had been killed just by his first-born. This scene is one of my favourite because we can see the brotherly love that binds Francis and Bash. Bash is very important for Francis , and we understand it from his gesture, he makes Sebastian stand up and then he hugs him, because Bash isn't one of his subjects any longer: he is his brother, his advisor and his friend.
5. Baby John at the English Court (4x01)
I was struck by this scene. Here, John , Lola and Francis's son, is taken back to the English court because he wants to go to his mother's friend, Queen Elizabeth. In fact, the Queen took Lola as her hostage but with the passing of time they became good friends. Because of John Knox, Lola is deceived and she tries to kill Elizabeth, but when she discovers it , she sentences Lola to death. Elizabeth is forced to kill her best and only friend (we all know queens don't have many friends). Little John is now without parents , he is an orphan just like her. Elizabeth feels guilty and sorry for killing Lola, but she nows that what had happened was caused by the war between her and Mary.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.DEMITRIUS WRIGHT, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County, Indictment No. 08-09-1604.
Per curiam.
Submitted December 13, 2010 - Decided Before Judges Grall and LeWinn.
Defendant Demitrius Wright pled guilty to second-degree possession of a firearm with an unlawful purpose, N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4a. In accordance with a plea agreement, the judge sentenced defendant to a five-year term of imprisonment with a mandatory three-year period of parole ineligibility, imposed the mandatory assessment and penalties and dismissed the remaining counts of the indictment. As authorized by Rule 3:5-7(d), defendant appeals from an order entered prior to his plea denying his motion to suppress the handgun found on his person. Finding no basis to disturb the trial court's factual findings or legal conclusions, we affirm.
On May 8, 2008, Detective David Smith of the New Brunswick Police Department was contacted by a confidential informant who had given him information that led to arrests and convictions in the past. Smith's informant told him that a person known as "Little Bitty" had a gun and was going to shoot Robert Prince, a member of the "G-Shine Blood" gang, because Prince had given a statement to the police in connection with a homicide investigation. According to Smith, his informant had personal knowledge of Little Bitty's plan. Smith also knew that Prince had given the police a statement, that Prince's statement had been disclosed to the defense in the homicide case and that gang rules call for punishment of members who cooperate with the police.
Smith did not know "Little Bitty," but he learned from officers in the department's Street Crimes Unit that defendant was known by that name. Smith acquired a photograph of defendant to show his informant, and the informant identified defendant as "Little Bitty."
On the night of May 17, 2008, Smith and another officer, dressed in plain clothes and using an unmarked car, went to a parking lot of a school in a high crime area that had been the site of numerous assaults and shootings. There they met with other officers working in the area. As they talked, Smith saw defendant walk by with a woman. The officers left the parking lot and followed.
One of the officers stopped his unmarked car in the street in front of defendant. The car did not block defendant's path; defendant and his companion were on the sidewalk. Smith and the others also parked and got out to speak to defendant. They identified themselves as police officers and displayed their badges. As they approached defendant, he "took a bladed stance towards" them and reached with his right hand toward his waistband.
Smith described defendant's "bladed stance" as a "fighting stance." He demonstrated the position defendant assumed for the court, and the judge described for the record what he saw. Smith had placed his right hand at about the midpoint of his pants and pocket near "the belt line."
According to Smith, after defendant assumed that stance and reached for his waistband, one of the detectives ordered defendant to show his hands three times. Defendant complied on the third demand. Out of concern for their safety, which was based on the information that defendant had a handgun and on the bladed stance he had assumed, the officers ordered defendant to the ground and patted him down. They recovered a .380 caliber handgun from the waistband of his pants. There was one bullet in the gun's chamber and three more in its magazine.
The judge found Smith's testimony candid, direct and honest. He found that Smith had information from a reliable informant that defendant was "looking to sanction" a person who had made a statement in a prior murder case. In the judge's view, the information gave the police sufficient reason to look into the allegations and approach defendant with caution. The judge was "convinced, beyond any doubt," that defendant took a bladed stance which gave the officers reason to suspect they were in sufficient danger to warrant their demand for him to show his hands and the frisk that led to discovery and seizure of the gun.
The applicable law is well-settled. "A field inquiry is not considered a seizure 'in the constitutional sense so long as the officer does not deny the individual the right to move.'"
State v. Rodriguez, 172 N.J. 117, 126 (2002) (quoting State v. Sheffield, 62 N.J. 441, 447 (1973)). Consequently, a field inquiry, unlike a detention or an arrest, "may be conducted 'without grounds for suspicion'" or probable cause. Ibid. (quoting State v. Maryland, 167 N.J. 471, 482 (2001)). "An encounter becomes more than a mere field inquiry when an objectively reasonable person feels that his or her right to move has been restricted." Ibid.
We recognize that defendant may have been intimidated by the number of officers that approached. Nonetheless, on this record we cannot conclude that the judge was wide of the mark in finding that the officers did nothing to make a reasonable person in defendant's position feel he could not move until after defendant escalated the encounter by assuming a bladed stance and reaching toward his waistband. See State v. Locurto, 157 N.J. 463, 474-75 (1999) (describing the limits on a reviewing court's authority to ...

My friend Allen is fond of saying "There is never enough time to do it right but always enough time to do it over." Since Allen is a cabinet maker it is a very apt quote. When you make one of a kind furniture, doing it right is very important. Things can go very wrong when you don't do things right the first time.
Trucks and bins if they are not watched can overfill and spill out very fast with only a little bit of inattention at the wrong time. A grain gate left open where a driver cannot see it can spill a lot in a short time. If you are lucky it is only a few scoops of grain. Unlucky or inattentive and there is a lot on the ground.
Recently a semi truck driver was distracted for a bit and his semi was hit by a train. The truck was empty. The driver is alright. The semi is a mess.
When conditions are wet, farmers can attempt to drive their combines into areas they should not. When a combine gets stuck it takes a special understanding of mud and machinery to get unstuck. A combine is made to move on its own power. If you try to pull a combine out in the wrong way it come out in pieces.
My grandfather used to say "The faster I go, the behinder I get." Doing things too fast or with out thinking can get you into a lot of trouble.
It's harvest season and the harvest is late. Farmers, who normally find ways to get the harvest out as fast as possible, are watching the weather to see when the cold and/or snow will bring harvest to a halt. All farmers need to be doing everything right the first time. There may not be time to do it over.

A thought by Maria Goff (2017-03-07) from her book, Love Lives Here: Finding What You Need in a World Telling You What You Want (Kindle Location 1878). B&H Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. (Click on the title to go to Amazon.com to buy the book.)
But it is so tempting to not start, isn't it?
Maria says, "Paul had some advice for his friends. He reminded them that Jesus would finish the good things they were doing. But we need to start it for Him to finish it. If we only run the races we know we'll win, it's no race at all."
She goes on, "What's your big dream? What's your beautiful ambition? Stop waiting. Put the lists away. Take it out of the spin cycle. Will it work? Who knows. We won't know how the race will turn out until we finish it, not before. God doesn't handicap us like horses at a race either. Don't look at who else is running the race; stay in your lane and keep your eyes on the finish line. Winning doesn't mean crossing the finish line in front of everyone else; it's being constantly ready to run in the direction of Jesus. If we're doing it correctly, this will always take us to the poor, the weak, and the helpless."
She then says, "To 'go' simply means to live. Are you ready? Are you finished spending all your time merely getting set? Then go!"
So, what is your dream?

This is Spiritual and Physical: Seventh Gallery
April 3, 2016 § Leave a comment
My work This is Spiritual and Physical is showing at Seventh Gallery in Melbourne, through to 15 April 2016. Thank you to Kate Clark for her work on the soundscape.
This is Spiritual and Physical presents video shot in Scotland and Iceland over several years that documents farming and rural life and sites of pilgrimage. The imagery explores the physical and aesthetic characteristics of landscape use for work and that which is visited for its spiritual significance, and aims to elucidate the correspondence between the output of the work generated by a body performing repetitive labour and that generated by spiritual pilgrimage.

I sing, an improvisation of sorts, within a five-domed concrete sculpture Tvisongur by Lukas Khne. Each dome produces a different tone, and the sculpture can be seen as a visualization of the five-tone harmony tradition. Tvisongur is in Seydisfjordur in the east fjords of Iceland. It is a 15 min hike up the side of a hill.
I took longer recordings, to be used as sound for an upcoming video work.

I am still set on my idea of wayfinding and placemarking as the topic for any eventual PhD I attempt to do. I am still going through all the images from my trip to Finland, Scotland and Iceland.
There is this residency in the Arctic I have been eyeing off for years. Maybe this is the time I actually apply. I don't know.
The below are all from series Farmers 2014.

Boat ride in Greenland Sea from Skagaströnd to Siglufjörður
May 17, 2014 § Leave a comment
The pain of 45-90 degree pitching boat in the Greenland Sea, for 9 hours, oh and stuck in the back with no real beds. In the sea footage towards the end, that pitching of the horizon is the boat…. the camera is in a fixed position. With fave salty dogs Guido van Helten and Linda Ros. Memory of a lifetime. Cannot wait to make more of these over the next 7 months….

These images were taken in Mývatn (which is a shallow eutrophic lake situated in an area of active volcanism in the north of Iceland). Specifically they were taken near the very small town of Reykjahlíð, where there are volcanic outdoor pools and baths. The water in the images is warm. The little islands are volcanic rock, the whole place is dark and silent and misty. I felt very outside myself here.
Then Kim reminded me of Laurie Spiegel and her work, Voices Within… the murmurs, (desires) of machines we have made, calling signs, the sound of process and function. I feel this is perfect music for these images.
