Holkham Hall praised for "much better organisation" at UB40 concert
PUBLISHED: 19:14 28 August 2017
Concert goers have praised Holkham Hall for its organisation of Sunday's UB40 show.
The gig was the first concert since Sir Tom Jones played at the estate in July, which saw Holkham criticised for its organisation of the event.
The evening, on July 23, saw people queuing for hours to get in and out of the carparks, and wheelchair users even being piggybacked to their cars.
However, visitors left a series of positive comments on the estate's Facebook page after the gig on Sunday, August 27, with one satisfied customer describing it as a "perfect venue".

A visitor stated: "Much better organisation for getting people out... [sic] was really great, thanks Holkham".
Another visitor wrote: "Can I just say a big thank you, to Lord Leicester, who donned a high-vis vest and helped direct traffic for the concert at the junction of the Victoria Hotel and Park Road, and Main Roa."
"Yes, his Lordship cares about what happens on his estate, and rightly so, other estates can take note of his leadership, and maybe follow....!!!"
Another comment reads: "Yet another great concert at Holkham Hall. UB40 & Radio Ridler were excellent. Thank you."
Holkham Hall also posted a number of responses to visitors concerns. They said they had not been made aware of any traffic problems, and added that everyone seemed to have arrived in plenty of time.

The estate also confirmed that more lighting and more experienced car park staff had been arranged for the event, to ensure parking ran smoothly.
They also said that Holkham and the promoters had reviewed the policy on food and drink, and people were able to bring picnics to UB40, which weren't permitted at Sir Tom Jones.
The organisers of the event stated: "Following the difficult situation and recent criticism of the Sir Tom Jones concert, the estate and organisers reviewed various policies to ensure that the UB40 concert would run as smoothly as possible.
"A traffic management plan was instigated with earlier opening of the gates. The no food and drink policy was reversed and the facilities for visitors with access requirements were addressed".
They added that: "The hard work of the estate's team ensured that the UB40 concert was a success."

James Tuckett (born c. 1984-1985[1]) was a student who began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1996[1] and was sorted into Hufflepuff House. In his first year, he caught Draco Malfoy trying to steal the birds in the Seventh-floor corridor, but was too frightened to tell anyone about it due to being intimidated by Draco and his friends. Harry Potter gave him some Cauldron Cakes and afterward he felt good enough to tell Harry what he knew. James also played informal Quidditch matches with other students during his first year.
The name "James" is the English form of the Late Latin name Iacobus which was derived from Ιακωβος (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name Ya'aqov.

Self Care in 2011 (3)
Okay, this isn't really an update on my self-care progress for the year. But after a full day of massaging on Sunday, my hands were a little sore yesterday. I reached into my bag of aromatherapy balms and pulled out a pain/inflammation butter (palm kernel oil, arnica, calendula, St. John's Wort, beeswax) and rubbed it into my hands and wrists. Today my hands feel fantastic! All this without having to resort to a chemical anti-inflammatory. Nice!

Seriously? Robo-signing a bill?
Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.) is questioning President Obama's use of an autopen in signing an extension of the Patriot Act.
In a letter Friday, Graves asks Obama to confirm that he saw the law prior to its autopen signing.
[…] Obama signed the bill into law late Thursday night. The autopen was used because the president was in France, meeting with G8 leaders, and the bill's provisions expired at midnight.
Graves cited Article 1 Section 7 of the Constitution, which says that the president must sign a bill to approve it into law.
Who has legal standing to challenge the constitutionality of this?
President Obama DID NOT SIGN THIS BILL.

Let's see....
I got up a little later than planned, so I drove Alex to school and then we came home. Daniel had a doctor's appointment for his kindergarten physical (seriously? kindergarten already?) so I got him ready and fed him breakfast, and then got myself ready. We got to the doctor, did what we had to do there, and then took off to the library to return all of our overdue crap and get some more stuff.
Then what....oh yeah, ran to Sonic to get drinks - I had to bribe him with that since he had to get a shot and a blood draw at the doctor. Then we went to the carwash to vacuum the nastiness out of the van. I did wash it yesterday, so it actually looked clean inside and out for a change.
We came home for a little bit and I flipped some laundry around and worked on the kitchen for a bit, then we took off to get him to school. I ran over to The Dude's house and picked up his mom and we went in town and went shopping at one of the thrift stores for a while. Then I took her home, hung out with The Dude for a bit, and then came home and parked the van so that I could walk to get Alex. After I got Alex, we walked to get Daniel.
In the meantime, I was texting back and forth with my friend who moved back to the area because I had some stuff for her that I had gotten off of one of the local free sites. She was going to be home tonight, and the meeting that I was supposed to go to got cancelled (oh, darn) so I told her we'd be down there a bit later.
The boys and I got home and I flipped some more laundry, made them a snack, and then we went and got gas (another $86 - ouch) and we took off to her place. She lives about 45 miles from here, and I love to drive there. I take the back roads, and it is always gorgeous...
We weren't going to stay for very long because the kids were getting hungry, but then we shifted gears and decided to go to a nearby drive-in and grab some supper.
Who knew that candy cigarettes were still available? I thought they disappeared years ago?
I got one of the best bacon cheeseburgers ever at this place. The food was wonderful - the kids practically inhaled it - and the prices were fantastic too.
And of course, the obligatory shot of me and Dawn...
We took off for home quite a bit later than I had planned, but it was a great evening and we had fun catching up and watching the kids playing together. It was getting dark so I had to take my time and we didn't get back here until about 8:45 so the boys went straight to bed with no arguments (yay!) and immediately passed out cold.
So much for my clean windshield, but the sunset looked so cool that I couldn't resist a shot...
And now that I'm home, I have got to do more laundry and get the kitchen straightened up a bit more. I have to get up a little earlier than usual to make it to the girls' school in time for an honor roll assembly, so tomorrow is already looking crazy.
Can you imagine? I'm going to have a crazy day.

Crusted scabies: a clinical marker of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 infection in central Australia
To the Editor: Scabies continues to cause significant morbidity among residents of Indigenous communities.1 In the Northern Territory, scabies underlies most cases of Streptococcus pyogenes pyoderma, a major cause of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis and rheumatic fever.1,2 The increased risk of scabies resulting from infection with the human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) has received little attention. This human retrovirus is endemic to much of Western Australia, South Australia and the NT. In a recent study, 33% of nearly 1600 Indigenous adults tested at Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) were infected.3
We report the case of a 36-year-old HTLV-1-infected Indigenous man from an Alice Springs town camp who was admitted to ASH with severe crusted scabies. Since early childhood, he had been hospitalised six times with recurrent scabies and had also been admitted with intestinal strongyloidiasis and chronic suppurative lung disease. On examination, he had confluent areas of hyperkeratosis with profuse skin shedding, deep skin cracks, bleeding and ooze involving the lower half of his body (Box). Skin scrapings revealed numerous scabies mites. Full blood examination showed an eosinophilia (2.6 × 10

They say you can't be a writer without being a reader. And whatever you may think of our writing skills, we've definitely got a lot of readers here on staff at IGN. And the smelliest dead horse of all at the IGN book club meetings is wondering when George Martin's coming out with the next installment in the Game of Thrones series. Seven years in, Martin's managed to make most of us believe in epic fantasy again, despite the fact that his series is currently only halfway complete.
I bring this up because I think MMO gamers are a lot like readers of epic fantasy. When you pick up the latest novel by Robert Jordan or Tad Williams, you have to know you're in for the long haul. Fans of these doorstop-sized fantasy series, often published in ever-lengthening installments at wider and wider intervals, have to be patient, hoping that the smaller individual payoffs are sufficient to keep the interest level up.
So it is with almost every MMO on the market. As a genre it embodies the ideas of long-term investment and delayed gratification. The rewards here are those you find yourself. Luckily there's plenty of content to be found in the starting areas of the game. Once you start to venture further from your starting point, you'll find that the content is harder to find. We've already covered a lot of the game in our initial previews and our recent first impressions article. But believe it or not, there's still plenty more to be said about this game.
The use of the Star Wars license is easily the most impressive aspect of the game. The worlds and environments here are instantly recognizable to any one who's seen the films. (Believe it or not, we actually do know a guy who's never seen any of them. He's from Ireland.) The locations and characters are all handled almost perfectly, from the golden, gothic architecture of Theed to the vast dunes of Tatooine. Some of the monsters pull double duty on multiple planets. There's a version of the mynock almost anywhere you go and some scary red tauntauns on Tatooine. Small power droids race through the halls of the starports while bizarre aliens carry on conversations in dim cantinas.

god or God: A Review of Two Works on the Names of God
Eliezer Brodt
Eliezer Brodt
Last week I picked up a new sefer titled Nekadesh es Shimcha. What caught my attention was that it included not only Nekadesh es Shimcha but also the work Meleches haKodesh from R. Eleazar Fleckeles (most well-known for his Teshuva m'Ahava). What follows is a short biography of R. Fleckes, a review of Meleches haKodesh, and a review of the new sefer - Nekadesh es Shimcha.
R. Eleazar Fleckeles was born in 1754 in Prague. He was a direct descendant of R. Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz, author of the Keli Yakar, whom R. Fleckeles quotes many times throughout his writings. When R. Fleckeles was 14, he went to study with R. Ezekiel Landau and spent ten years studying there. R. Landau, as is evident from his haskamot to R. Fleckeles works, held R. Fleckeles in high regard. Additionally, many teshuvot in Noda b'Yehuda are penned to R. Fleckeles. In R. Fleckeles's writings, he quotes many interesting statements from R. Landau [for one example see here]. When R. Fleckeles was twenty-four, he became the Rabbi of Kojetin, a town in Moravia. After four years, however, R. Fleckeles returned to Prague to sit on R. Landau's Bet Din and serve as a head of a yeshiva.
R. Fleckeles authored many works, works covering halakha, derush, and a commentary on the Haggadah. R. Fleckeles was a skilled halakhist as is evident from his Teshuva m'Ahavah, but his fame also rests on his skills as a darshan. His derashot were published in a four volumes, Olat Chodesh. The fourth volume contains, R. Fleckeles series of derashot he gave against Shabbatai Tzvi and Jacob Frank (this section has a seperate title, Ahavat Dovid). One of themes which run throughout his derashot is an emphasis on learning Shas and Poskim and not Kabbalah. Recently, Professor Marc B. Shapiro printed an interesting correspondence between R. Fleckeles and Karl Fischer, a government censor, about Nittel Nacht, which first appeared as "Torah Study on Christmas Eve," Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 8 (1999): 350-55, and then as "A Letter of R. Eleazar Fleckeles Concerning Torah Study on Christmas Eve," Ohr Yisrael 30 (2002): 165-168. This was not the only correspondence between the two, as a well-known teshuva appears in Teshuva m'Ahavah in response to Fischer's question about Jew's taking oaths. Teshuvah m'Ahavah, vol. 1, no. 26.]. In 1826, R. Fleckeles died after serving for 43 years on the Prague Bet Din.
Amongst R. Fleckeles lesser known seforim is the Meleches ha'Kodesh. The book differentiates between the names of Hashem, which are kodesh and which are chol, using the Bavli, Yerushalmi, Midrash, three Targumim, and all the various m'farshim on the Chumash. The reason the differentiation is important is that every time a sofer writes a kodesh name of Hashem, he needs to makes sure it is l'Shem Kedushas HaShem. If the sofer does not do so, the Sefer Torah is invalid. Although there are many instances it is obvious when the name is kodesh, there are many times it is unclear. Over time, there have arguments amongst the various poskim what to do in the ambiguous situations. R. Fleckeles collected all the prior opinions and provides his own conclusion for these questionable Shems.
R. Fleckes begins each of his discussions by quoting an earlier work on the topic Meir Netiv by R. Yehuda Piza [this first appeared in the Chumash R. Piza published in Amsterdam in 1767, Ezras HaSofer - R. Piza will be the subject a forthcoming post at the Seforim blog.] R. Fleckeles then provides additional sources not considered or quoted by R. Piza and then R. Fleckeles comes to his conclusion. In the process, R. Fleckeles demonstrates a tremendous breadth of knowledge in the works of Chazal, the Rishonim, and Achronim. What is extremely interesting about both of these works are the sources used to reach their conclusions. They use, amongst others, the Ibn Ezra, Abarbanel, and the Ralbag, these sources are not typically used to form a halachic conclusion. Even more noteworthy, are some of the sources R. Fleckeles uses, the Me'or Eynaim by R. Azariah di Rossi, as well as Mendelssohn's Biur (pp. 4, 52, and 88). R. Fleckeles also quotes R. Shlomo Dubnow a few times (pp. 92, 115). What is particularly striking about the quotes from Mendelssohn, is that R. Fleckeles, like R. Landau [although R. Landau's opinion is subject to some debate] was firmly against the Biur. (See Alexander Altman, Moses Mendelssohn, pp. 486-88; Moshe Samet, Chadash Assur Min haTorah, pp. 76-7; Meir Hildesheimer, "Moses Mendelssohn in Nineteenth Century Rabbinical Literature," Proceedings of the American Academy for Jewish Research (PAAJR) 55 (1988): 79-133, esp. p. 87 n. 23.)
The Meleches haKodesh is divided into two parts, the first, discussing the ambiguous verses, and the second, a through exposition of writing holy-names more generally. Throughout the book, while discussing the specific questions, he includes many of his own explanations of the pesukim. Additionally, he discusses many things of interest in halacha and aggadah not directly related to the main topic. Both of these factors make this an important work even for someone not involved in the topic of the usage of Hashem. [The second part is not reprinted in this new work.]
For instance, there is a discussion when did the author of Onkoles live. (pp. 4, 77). A discussion about the famous controversy of reciting Machnesei Rachamim. R. Fleckeles cites his teacher, R. Landau, that R. Landua when he said Neliah was careful not to pray to the angels. (p. 15). R. Fleckeles writes that tzadikim are greater than angels. (p. 42). Elsewhere he writes that even regular people are greater than angels. (pp. 104-5). At least twice he quotes Torah he thought of in his dreams. (pp. 14, 95). He records an interesting rule that wherever Chazal use "lamah" (למה) it is because they want to find out the reason for doing something that they do not know any reason for. This is in contrast to the usage of mipneh mah (מפני מה) which is used when there is a known reason but are not satisfied with that reason. (p. 110).
When it comes to the Zohar, R. Fleckeles uses interesting language. After quoting one statement from the Midrash of R. Shimon bar Yochi, he notes that there is a contradictory statement found in the Zohar, to which R. Fleckeles writes:
(pp. 5-6). Elsewhere he writes with regard to having special kavanot when saying the name of God "ומעולם לא עלה על הדעת קדושים הראשונים חכמים וסופרים לחשוב מחשבות וספירות כי בימיהם לא ידע מאומה, בלי מה מספירה." (p. 133).
והיא נפלאת בעיני כפי המפורסם זה שלש מאות שנים חבור הספר הזוהר מהתנא האלקי רשב"י עליו השלום . . . יאמר נא יראי ה' אם זה הספר תולדות אדם גדול וקודש רשב"י הוא הוי ליה על פנים להזכיר דעתו בזה וצריך עיון רב ליישב על פי פשוטו
In general, throughout R. Fleckeles writings, there are interesting statements about Kabbalah and the Zohar especially, in the above mentioned Ahavat Dovid. In the introduction to that work he quotes a letter from R. Naftai Hertz Wessley which says
Aside from the content of the letter, it is noteworthy that R. Fleckeles quotes R. Wessley at all, as Wessley was one of the early leaders of the haskalah movement and close to Mendelssohn.
כי שמעתי מפי הגאון המקובל הגדול שהי' ידוע הזוהר וכל ספרי האר"י ז"ל בעל פה הוא הרב ר' יהונתן אייבשיטץ זצ"ל שהיה אומר לשומעי דבריו בעיני הקבלה כשראה שהם מפקפקים בהם ואמר אם לא תאמינו אין בכך כלום כי אין אלו מעיקרי אמונתנו, וכן היה אומר לאלו המביאים הקדמות מדברי קבלה לישב איזה גמרא או מדרש לא חפצתי בזאת ומה חדוש על פי קבלה תוכל ליישב מה שתרצה אמור לי הפשט הברור על ידי נגלה ואז אודך וכל זה אמת עי"ש עוד
The book ends with eulogies and has a separate title, Kuntres Nefesh Dovid v'Nefesh Chayah. This section is comprised of eulogies R. Fleckeles said on his parents, and includes many wonderful explanations of derush on all kinds of topics.
All of this is included in the back of the new work, Nekadesh es Shimcha. This work also is on the topic of the names and status thereof, of God in the Torah. Its author, R. Yehuda Farakas, includes many haskmos including that of R. Elyashiv. The main purpose of this book is to update R. Fleckeles work with the many sources which were unavailable to R. Fleckeles. There are also discussions of pesukim R. Fleckeles did not discuss at all.
Again, R. Farkas uses many works which are not typically used in a halachic context, this includes recently published manuscripts. Amongst the more noteworthy are the Pirush R. Avrohom ben HaRambam, Radak, and Bechor Shor. The use of these runs counter to the well-known opinion of the Chazon Ish regarding newly published manuscripts. R. Farkas also uses many commentaries on the Targumim and Ibn Ezra not otherwise used by most. Throughout, he quotes the pesakim of R. Elyashiv.
In conclusion, this an impressive, encyclopedic work on the topic of God's name. This is helpful in understanding the meaning of various pesukim in the Chumash. It is noteworthy that the controversial quotes remained, such as that of Mendelsshon. It is possible R. Farkas was unaware the Nesivos Shalom is the title of Mendelssohn's Biur. The one criticism is R. Farkas's decision not to republish the second part of Meleches haKodesh which would have made this a complete one-volume compendium on this topic.

GHANA: Woman Aborts Baby At A Hospital In Ghana
An unidentified woman has reportedly aborted a baby at the Koforidua Government Hospital in the Eastern region in Ghana.
The incident occurred at the male washroom of the health facility Saturday morning.
The aborted fetus was five months old, Starr News' Eastern regional correspondent Kojo Ansah reported.
The development was first reported by a patient who saw it in the bathroom while visiting to ease himself.
The New Juaben Police Command has ordered for the burial of the fetus after they visited the scene following an official report by management of the hospital.
The Municipal Police Commander DSP Richardson Kumeko told Starr News investigations have commenced into the matter.
He urged the public to volunteer information to help identify the culprit.

7 years of rain in 12 hours – this is the result
You may remember that we were sitting in Valle de Elqui , after our efforts to enter Argentina across Paso Agua Negra were stymied by a weather event in Northern Chile. We waited for just over a week in the hope that it might still be possible to make the crossing, but were then convinced that there was no chance. However, in the meantime Ruta 5 going north was open again. We don't like back-tracking so north it was, towards Antofagasta.
Once again we wanted to avoid the major highway, when possible. Chile is very narrow at this point so there aren't many other options. Along the way that brought us finally to Antofagasta we saw firsthand some of the dreadful devastation caused by the recent heavy rain. Roads in some places were no longer passable and in others were completely gone. Masses of mud, and everything it had swept along in its path, were the focal points in several places we passed through. By the time we reached Antofagasta we were no longer complaining about our failed plans – we had seen people in much worse situations trying to get their lives back to some sort of normality.
Our first experience came less than 150Km from La Serena. The hardest hit area was Chile's 3rd region – Atacama – and we had just crossed into it. We had left the Ruta 5 to take a road along the ocean and then we had to turn a little inland. As we travelled into the coastal mountains, the road was good and the scenery great. The mountains were anything but boring and the coastal fog started to lift so the sun could highlight their colours. We left the road we were driving, which was headed back to the highway, and turned north on a road to Freirina.
There was a sign at the beginning of it telling us that there were workers on the road ahead. Initially the road was fine but then it became narrower, following a river gorge, and had obviously been heavily damaged by the recent weather. In places it looked like the road had been rebuilt with truckloads of dirt. We finally got to a place where there was a river of dried mud, right up to the edge of the road. Shortly after it there were some workmen who turned us around because the road was impassable. A shame that this detail was omitted on the sign at the start of the road! We turned around and headed back the way we had come – about 20Km! On the way back we took more notice of the surroundings and discovered road signs pointing to roads that no longer existed – you could barely identify where they had been.
Despite this experience, after reaching Freirina via the highway, we persevered with the small roads and had some success until we reached Puerto Viejo and followed sign-posting to Caldera – the next major town we were heading for. Less than 5Km down the road it came to an end. Where the road had been, the Rio Copiapo had rushed through and destroyed everything in its path. The city of Copiapo, further up-river, had been one of the hardest hit areas and we had come this way to avoid the chaos there. We spent the night nearby and walked up to the top of a hill to view the whole situation – we could understand the disaster in Copiapo a little better seeing the state of the river valley close to its mouth! Fortunately for us we only had to backtrack a few kilometres to another road which crossed the Copiapo River with a bridge. This bridge also gave us a clear view of the results of a river in heavy flood.
We reached Caldera without further back-tracking. From there the only way north is along the highway to Chañaral. This was another town that had been very badly affected by the flooding. We had been warned that there would be a wait, but we were totally unprepared for the devastation we would witness as we eventually drove through the town. The highway which normally bypasses the town centre on the ocean side had completely disappeared. The roads we followed on the detour through the streets gave us a clear view of the masses of mud towards the beach with cars covered to their windows. These streets were also covered in a thick layer of mud. Some buildings appeared to be damaged beyond repair.
Once we left the town centre and re-joined the Ruta 5 the full story emerged. On either side of the road there was mud as far as the eye could see and many partly submerged vehicles – cars, trucks, heavy mining machinery – buildings almost completely destroyed and people working everywhere to clean up. There was a constant stream of empty and full trucks driving into and out of the work spaces to dump the excess rubble and mud. It will take months, if not years, to clean this up. It was a shocking sight, and we just had to stop. There was devastation everywhere around us and it was too much to absorb.
Once back on the highway we thought it was all behind us – but, wrong again! A few kilometres up the road we had to take a long detour onto a very rough side track, which could have been the old highway. Soon we saw that parts of the highway had disappeared, and other parts were so undercut by water as to be unsafe to use. Once we got back on the highway, there was mud and debris on one or both sides of the road for many kilometres. You could see where the water had rushed down the sides of the mountains into the valley of the Rio Salado! The first road into Pan de Azucar National Park had a row of stones across the entrance indicating that it was closed. The second road into the park just wasn't there! There was some mud along the highway for almost the whole way to the turn off to Taltal.
We decided to leave the highway towards Taltal to find somewhere to spend the night. It's on the coast so we imagined a sleepy little town with maybe a beach carpark… wrong again!!! As we descended from 770m towards sea level we once again began to see evidence of mud along the sides of the road. The closer we got to the town, the more mud there was. It then became obvious that the road had been a river. The government had several huge signs along the road proclaiming their work to improve the management of water run-off down this valley. As we reached the outskirts of the town there was heavy machinery trying to clear mud, that was metres deep and rock hard, from this newly completed work! We did stay the night, in a parking lot overlooking the beach on the edge of town.
The next morning we took time to walk around this attractive little town and were shocked by how little help they seemed to be getting to clean up. The roads were still caked with mud causing dust problems and many buildings were showing signs of being damaged by water and mud with no real clean-up under way. It is a lovely town with a lush central plaza, a very simple, but cute church and many old timber buildings, some in good repair. Had the times been different we may have stayed a few days.
We left Taltal and followed a stunning coastal road to Poposa and then wound up another serpentine road to a plateau at around 2300m. This took us through a barren but stunning landscape for close to 100Km before we rejoined Ruta 5 and eventually arrived in Antofagasta. We parked on the beach, south of the city, and were treated to a magnificent sunset.
The trip from La Serena to Antofagasta is a little less than 1000Km and we had taken 7 days to do it. At home we would maybe have been prepared for the sights we saw along the way – television news would have shown us endless footage. But here we don't have television and we don't read newspapers and all of our information had come by word of mouth. To actually witness the aftermath and what it does to people's lives is quite shocking.
We previously published a gallery on our Facebook Page showing photos of the flood damage (many are the same only bigger). This is an impressive video , someone published on youtube, documenting the force of the flood waters.

It is a very serious decision, but sometimes a woman just knows that she is in no way ready to give birth to or to support and nurture a baby. So if she is responsible, she takes birth control measures. However, no birth control measure is absolutely fool proof and that is why abortion must be a legal and moral option in case contraceptive methods fail.
If you are not ready to have a baby, then don't have sex. Or at least make sure you are educated enough on contraceptive methods. If those fail, which may sometimes be the case, the pregnancy will have to be dealt with. And if you have sex after marriage it shouldn't be a problem. I believe that abortion is only acceptable when the baby's life threatens the mother's life or if the fetus is diagnosed with a severe or deadly illness before birth.
I believe that abortion is utilized like this way to often. Having an abortion is a negative experience no matter what the circumstances are or where you get it. The way that it happens it is hard on your body and the psychological effects of it are usually worse than that. So even if the procedure goes well then it is still harmful psychologically.

These stomach-churning photos feature the stars on the Idiots on Ladders hall of shame.
The Ladder Association launched the scheme to highlight ladder loonies who balance them on one leg, over stairs and across rooftops.
The competition, which aims to shame dangerous users into changing their ways, offers people the chance to vote on Facebook to decide which picture is the worst.
Cameron Clow, Chairman of the Ladder Association, said: "Ladders are arguably the most common type of equipment used for work at height – it is estimated that three million are in use in the UK alone.
"Reported ladder accidents have fallen by over 30% over the last 10 years, but more clearly needs to be done."

The MAJ-V34 Jiachong (aka Jiachong), is a tank unit of the Human Reform League in season 1 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The MAJ-V34 Jiachong is tank-like mobile armor used by the Human Reform League prior to the introduction of mobile suits. Though rendered obsolete by the Fanton, it remained in service as a patrol and fire support unit even after the Fanton itself was replaced by the Tieren. The Jiachong In addition to the standard model, the HRL also produced the unmanned MAJ-V34AI Jiachong AI-Controlled Type and an unarmed engineer version equipped with a bulldozer blade.
- 85mm x 50 Smoothbore Cannon
- 30mm Machine Gun
The Jiachong is seen to battle with the three Throne Gundams in an HRL base in Guangzhou, China. The base's Tierens and Jiachongs open fire, but they become easy targets for the Thrones before the GN-X squad(led by Sergei Smrinov) arrived.
In A.D.2312 the Jiachong managed to remain in service as a patrol and fire support unit even after Jiachong itself was replaced by the GN-XIII. Although it was not a front line combat unit, it was still utilized for other purposes such as guarding the Federation prison where Allelujah Haptism was being kept. Although they're weapons were not affected by humidity caused by the tidal wave generated by the CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2 crashing into the ocean, they were clearly outmatched by Celestial Being's new GN-008 Seravee Gundam and GN-0000 00 Gundam.

The Color of Light, The Treasury of Shadows
The Color of Light, The Treasury of Shadows: Pastels by Louis I. Kahn
From the Collections of His Children
In pastels that have been acknowledged as the most sublime examples of his drawing, Louis I. Kahn portrayed the vivid colors of light and shadow illuminating the public spaces of Italy and the ancient sites of Greece and Egypt. These pastels were made during a three-month period in 1950–51 when Kahn was Architect in Residence at the American Academy in Rome. While architects throughout history have recorded these monuments, Kahn's drawings are no mere portraits of architecture. They can be experienced purely as the deepest rendering of light and the complementary colors of its shadows.
Trained from early years to be an artist, Kahn was intrigued all his life by the color of daylight and its complementary hues. In speaking of his inspirations for the pastels, he excitedly recalled, "the magenta sunset gave you an inky green—it wasn't just an ordinary green. The green was so green that I had to feel that [it] wasn't paint; and on the shadow of my hands was also green, that's how green it was. And that cast a shadow on the stones, which were a golden color, and this green cast itself a purple shadow, because it had so much light in the green. So within iridescent stone there was a shadow caused by the green shadow on the stone itself, and that really set me off because I thought I could independently paint all of these things" (conversation with Jan Hochstim, 1972).
As much as concrete, brick, or travertine, Kahn used the changing light of the day and the seasons as a central building block of architecture. It is particularly fitting that these pastels are exhibited here in the Kimbell, of which Kahn said, "depending on the character of the light . . . the museum has as many moods as there are moments in time. Never, as long as the museum remains as a building, will there be a single day like the other"(The Kimbell: Year One, 1974).
Special thanks to the children of Louis I. Kahn, Sue Ann Kahn, Alexandra Tyng, and Nathaniel Kahn, for generously lending their works for this exhibition.

This has been a labour intensive project, but one in which all the building blocks of design and development have been taught.
I did feel at times that the instructions were 'wordy' - I had to read and re-read to get an understanding of where my work should be heading.
Overall though I enjoyed creating, designing and developing my sketches.
Did I manage to 'make space move'?
Yes I did!
I worked through Stage 1 which concentrated on using black squares and lines to create static and dynamic arrangements.
I then applied these practices to the rest of the project.
I was able to work out which images were static and calm, and which were dynamic and full of visual energy.
The knowledge acquired by working through this stage will help me in the planning stage and composition of any piece of art that I want to create.
It was also helpful when I was deciding on which images to work on and develop throughout the rest of the project - which images would be interesting and for what reason.
Was I pleased with the drawings that I did in Stage 3?
Yes I was.
I used Stage 3 mainly as an exercise in which to choose drawings with potential for Stage 4.
I completed design and development work throughout all the exercises in Project 4, but I sometimes felt that it was difficult to separate the work into the individual exercises.
Was I able to use my drawings successfully as a basis for further work?
I was.
I really enjoyed making the repeat patterns, I am looking forward to making stencils to screen print with from these designs.
I also felt that some of the sketches that were developed took me away from the original image, so I was able to look at it with fresh eyes.
The resulting developed images were often much livelier and interesting.
The worrying part for this section was knowing where to stop.
The development of an image is endless, and fun.
Having developed a good working method - do I feel confident that I can now carry on working in this way on my own?
Yes I do.
I enjoy painting and drawing, but the results are always more interesting when the image has been developed, and the composition has been thought about.
I think the methods and techniques that have been taught throughout this project will make me think harder about what I want to achieve before I put pencil to paper.
I should now be able to make more considered pieces of art.

On to life...
Yesterday my son and I went to see the Chipmunks movie. I must say I am not a huge Chipmunks fan. My son found it hillarious. It was nice to do some hang out time. Trying to make the point to be more active over summer this year. This means I get more done suprisingly because I have a smaller window and spend last time.. surfingggg and pinning. But it was a good movie and the best part was his giggling and laughing. We went to the grocery store after and picked up some cereal and added to my stash for school lunches. I am a couponer... The laziest couponer you have EVER seen. I usually save at least the amount I pay and usually half as more of what I pay. I rarely get a paper to do the clippity clip. I mostly just print out a coupon for what we would use. We go through Cereal like you would not believe and right now my guys favorite is on sale so I got a few boxes of those. And I got some granola bars to add to the school year supply stash. They can be so pricey so 1.00 for a box of 8 name brand granola bars makes me happy. And I got those weird apple sauce in the go go tubes.. am I saying that right? they are squeezers? well I had a coupon for abox of those so I got some for our trip to California this summer. Perfect for in the car on the drive and a little healthier then gas station food on the way. If you have any secret tips for car drives and keeping 8 year olds from saying ARE WE THERE YET? well let me know. I'd love to know... :) My plan is to give him the little protable gps we have with addresses programmed in ahead of time.
And we got supplies for the Father's Day project we are working on tomorrow. woohoo! Pictures of that after Sunday. I hope it comes out uber cute.
Okay on to a few other things.. ...
I mentioned a SWEEEET Deal at the beginning of the week. And here it is. I have a chunk of older files that have never made it to the store. I have grouped them up in a bundle for $5.00 for these 24 zip downloads. For sale until June 17th. The files included have lots of cuts in them. I think one has 20 different cuts all on its own. I am giving you the opportunity to purchase them at a bulk rate before I load them to the store individually. If you have been with me from the beginning you would have gotten these files about 7-8 years ago. They are much older. So check your sku numbers which I will list at the store in the product description.
File types included: AI, GSD(v2.4), DXF, KNK, MTC, SVG, WPC(v14)
And then on to the freebie!!!
I am reworking this and have to convert. I will add it to this post within the next few hours. Gotta make my kiddo some breakfast. :-) Sorry for the delay but there will be one today. I wanted to post the winner early for those who are entering the drawing again today!
Okay sorry it took me so long to get back to this. Lost track of the day running around with my son to get supplies to finish our Father's Day project. and our freebie is the tag for this project.
which I will have to post after Sunday. but it basically read
For a Fungi... pronounced FUN GUY. and there are mushrooms involved. Really I think this was the project my son chose to do because it reminded him of a Super Mario Bros. character. haha. but I hope my husband likes it. It has been fun to work on with my son.
So project next week check back in with me. but free file today.
You can download here. and if it asks for a password it is iagreetou.

Last year I gave away some wishlists to folks that don't even own a cutter anymore.( wew really wow? the thought of giving up one of my four machines makes me cringe and have heart palpitations.)

This seventh entry in the 'Halloween' series is also the first since 'Halloween 2' to feature Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), the sister and victim of psychopath Michael Myers.
Apparently killed in a car crash, Laurie in fact faked her death so that she could adopt a new identity.
She is now Keri Tate, headmistress of a private school in California, and mother of a teenage son, John.
Unfortunately, Halloween 1998 - the twentieth anniversary of Michael's original attack - sees the slasher decide that the time is now right to get back in touch with his family.

the xperia z owns xperia zl by a longshot. the zl is just a watered down, loser version of the nice sleek xperia z. and canada could beat you any day.
sony xperia z is much better tha xperia zl in terms of battery life...im upgrading my phone sooner i can to xperia z...thanks sony for the amazing battery,,but not quiet satisfied,,please sony,,make the battery life to 20hrs talk time,,,standby time to 33days..that would be amazzing...and be charge by portable perpetual motion machine..good luck,,please make it.,sony,,please...
AnonD-100110, 12 Jan 2013So what about the Middle East?Saudi Arabia will just get ZL, UAE will get the z as stated right now , as stated for Lebanon it will get ZL and Z
AnonD-99764, 11 Jan 2013I think that Z is better than the ZL in almost all areas. If they have the same price - what's... moreI would have asked the same about Z. There are dozen phones like it from other companies so I don't see why you'd want it... on the other hand the zl is a true innovation.
5 inches and its smaller and better looking than the 4.5 lumia. Sony should had skipped Z altogether and make ZL her flagship
Finally Sony has come out with a real flagship product Xperia Z. I wish if they can shift the "Sony" to the back of the phone then it would be perfect!
In other hand, theXperia ZL looks "inferior" due to the poor design of removal back cover. Sony should not have launched this model!
Banana republic, 12 Jan 2013Why does Canada have 3 year contracts not 2 year, like all other world? Why you can't buy unlo... moreBecause Canada is the real banana republic, just that bananas does not grow there.
In countries where consumer rights stand strong even 2 year contracts are ilegal. In Norway for example, it was decided years and years ago that its unreasonable to force people into contracts longer than one year as that will stop people from having up to date devices. Another thing is that most phones on contract are SIM free in Norway.
12 months contract is already a bit stiff for me, i prefer to pay my phones in cash and off contract, and NEVER with sim lock. I can upgrade when ever i want to, i will get Xperia Z in March, if i was a contract slave i would have to live with the Note 2 untill september 2014, not very tempting is it? It totally fails to be exiting if i wrote "i will buy a Xperia Z in September 2014, yehey im so exited..."
Why does Canada have 3 year contracts not 2 year, like all other world? Why you can't buy unlocked phones (except iPhone) in Canada? Why Canada has mobile carrier oligopoly?
Lot of the people in Canada still paying for incoming calls and called ID. Amazing country :)
Hi now i'm using xperia arc s its very good phone & before it i had w995 its also very good phone. i like sony ericsson (sony) phones, i always uses sony , and Sony ZL will be my next phone, when it will launch in india i'll buy than.
Nze 1, 11 Jan 2013Those words are easier said than done. If u were'nt interested u wouldn't have been here in th... moreYes am interested but a bought my S3 on day 1 pre-order. Am not rich but I would like to. Beside the S3 is really a good. My only down side on the xperia Z is that their no Usb on the go option. I use it almost every day to plug my portable HDD to watch movie on my 40" tv and samsung dungle.
AnonD-99764, 11 Jan 2013I think that Z is better than the ZL in almost all areas. If they have the same price - what's... moreYou think but i dont..The ZL have thinner screen bezel compare to Z..I will buy the white one with matte white back cover..Woot

Long weekends give you a chance to do something special. Take, for example, the recent it-is-some-President's-birthday-so-no-trash-gets-picked-up-on- Monday weekend.
Long before the actual three-day respite hit, one local wine collector called to invite me to a dinner party he was throwing that weekend where the wines were going to be older than George Washington. Another woman called me up to invite me along on a trip that weekend to California. In the Golden State, she promised me, I could taste new varieties of fish and experiment with new varieties of sun tan oil.
I told the wine pourer and California-bound mermaid no, I could not go with them. I had promised to spend the weekend drinking water.

|Shannon and Jessica are smiling because I have just whispered to them them magic words "Pretend you're learning something." It's a light moment in a fairly serious day of lectures, exams, discussions. It's a good moment to recover from a fairly rigorous quiz on our visits in Paris. These daily quizzes are a part of each class, but they are as much an exercise in review, discussion, and analysis as a means of obtaining a grade. The major portion of each student's grade will derive from her or his participation in class and in visits, and from the journal and individual cultural project.

Tail biting and tail docking are major welfare concerns for pigs, particularly for those kept in barren intensive housing. Most piglets housed in these systems have their tails docked within days of birth to prevent tail biting later in life.
What is tail biting?
Tail biting is a behaviour whereby pigs use their teeth to bite and chew other pigs' tails. It is a significant welfare problem in commercial pig production. Tail biting can lead to injuries in the victim, and the victim can experience pain and fear, which can be exacerbated in an outbreak where pigs performing the biting can target victims with persistency, and the problem can spread throughout a group. Tail biting can also be associated with a variety of conditions including spinal abscesses, septicaemia, and a reduced growth rate.
Tail biting is affected by a number of factors, and is thought to predominantly occur in barren environments, as the need to perform exploration and foraging behaviours are considered a major underlying motivation.
What is tail docking?
Tail biting on commercial farms has led to the widespread adoption of tail docking. While it is a common management practice to prevent tail biting, it causes acute trauma and pain since the tail has lots of nerves. There is evidence that tail docking causes piglets to struggle, scream, and clamp their tails between their hind limbs, indicating that it is likely highly aversive. Further, pigs which have had their tails docked may experience long-term pain, and may render tail-docked pigs susceptible to infection.
Tail docking reduces the frequency of tail biting but does not completely eliminate it, and does not address the underlying causes.
In the European Union, tail docking on a routine basis has been prohibited, and there is further legislation limiting its use in countries including Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. In Australia, the Model Code of Practice suggests that where tail docking is performed as a routine preventative measure, it should be carried out before pigs are 7 days of age.
The RSPCA is opposed to the docking of the tails of any species of animal unless under veterinary advice to improve an individual animal's health, and the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme Standards - Pigs do not permit tail docking.
Methods to address tail biting and alternatives to tail docking
Although multifactorial, one of the main factors which contributes to the incidence of tail biting is a barren environment and the inability for pigs to perform exploration and foraging behaviour. In order to reduce the incidence of tail biting, pigs should be provided with an environment that provides appropriate stimulation and satisfies their motivation to explore and chew, such as the provision of straw. Good stockpersonship and a good pig-to-stockperson ratio are essential to abate tail biting.
Hazards for tail biting include an absence of straw bedding, high stocking density, inadequate diet, competition for resources, poor health status, season, air quality and speed, and stress. In addition to this, the heritability of tail biting has been found to be high enough for genetic selection against the behaviour. Genetic selection may therefore be a promising route to addressing tail biting.
Since tail biting can cause very poor welfare and tail docking is painful both in the short and long term, measures other than tail docking should be implemented to control tail biting.

JustRite Friday Challenge #122: Card and Envelope Sets
Edited to Add: Having Internet connection issues, so will post w/photos & try to get post written SOON! ;{
For this FUN challenge @ JustRite, I used a clear butterfly stamp from Botanical Butterflies as my focal image, colored with Copic markers and cut with Spellbinders round die. That image is mounted with foam tape to a frame and shape die from Samantha Walker's Butterfly Corner set. The card's lower edge is die cut using A2 Bracket Borders One which I also used to die cut the top flap on my handmade envelope, made using the WeRMemoryKeepers Envelope Punch Board. I tried to show in my second photo that I added a strip of the yellow CS behind the border die cuts on both card/envelope. I also added a butterfly from Botanical Butterflies stamped in black to the front left corner & flap of my envelope for a little taste of what's inside. My sentiment is from JR's clear set With Gratitude Labels One. NOTE: Check this link, as this all-around set is currently on sale for a great price! '~)
I just love to dress up my envelopes to match my cards and have really enjoyed Darsie's recent fabulous videos @ JustRite highlighting all the gorgeous things you can create when using JustRite's various products and the Envelope Punch Board! Sometimes it helps tremendously to be 'reminded' of the many ways to enhance our creativity and to remember to pull out those products we've purchased and possibly forgotten about. Thanks, JR, Darsie & Sheri for the helpful nudges!!! ;~)

It is not safe to repair your own gas line, as trying to repair a gas line without proper professional training can result in a gas leak, which presents a major safety concern. Hire a certified professional to maintain and repair gas lines, and do not repair them yourself.
Have gas lines inspected yearly by certified professionals to avoid dangerous leaks. If you suspect a gas leak, immediately leave the home, shut off gas valves, and call 911 and the utility company. Do not risk your safety to save money. Many national, regional and local professionals offer affordable gas line inspection and repair services.

There were a number of small auctions in and around Paris at this time, but the two that were of the most interest were Piasa at Drouot (where most of the Paris auctions are held) and Argenteuil in the suburb city of the same name.
The latter auction was focused on the German studio team of Sasha and Cami Stone, who later were forced to move to Belgium. Most of the material was from the husband and wife's Berlin period. I previewed at the home of the auction expert Christophe Goeury, who is one of the most research-oriented of all the French auction experts at the moment.
His catalogues are troves of information on the photographers whose estates he has auctioned off, including Brassai, Blanc et Demilly, and now Studio Stone. The information includes biographies in French and English, extensive bibliographies and copies of the artists' stamps and signatures. Christophe works very hard to produce such valuable additions to the photographic literature, and he is a very amiable and helpful person as well. His condition reports are generally very professional and accurate, although, like most auction "experts", he does sometimes make errors in dating prints, although the errors (as we pointed out in our coverage of the Brassai sale) go both ways, often noting a later date on a print than was the reality. With the Stone material this was not so much a problem, because of the material itself, which was very consistent with the period taken. The basic problem was simpler: most of the material was just not that exciting and the print sizes were small (typically about 4 x 6 inches or smaller--some were only tiny contact prints) with numerous condition issues. For me the prints themselves had little "presence", most printed simply on ferrotyped (glossy) paper. Less than a handful of images were printed on a nice matte silver paper that I thought stood out.
I and a number of French dealers and collectors felt that the auction with its rather repetitious imagery might not be that successful, but, surprisingly, I am very pleased to report that Goeury's hard work indeed paid off. Nearly 86% of the lots were sold (although many of the smaller lots reported sold immediately after the sale, and some were still being sold after I received these statistics), and a few at very high prices indeed for these photographs. The total take from the sale including the frais, or buyer's premium (here a more reasonable 19%), was just a hair under 370,000 euro, or about $525,000. That's quite a decent number for the typical photo sale at a French auction house, and very good for a single photographer sale. The exchange rate was about $1.42 per euro at this time. For perspective, that total auction amount was about midway between Sotheby's and Christies' London sales of just two weeks before.
German dealers, collectors and institutions were all participating in the sale. My German friends, dealer Hendrik Berinson and curator/collector Dietmar Siegert, came in person to bid. Sam Stourdzé, a Paris photography consultant, was also there to bid for clients. Several other French dealers and even collectors also participated. Many others were on the phones or left commission bids.
I will give a run down of those lots that came close to or broke over the 5,000 euro mark with the buyers' premium.
Right out of the gate, the auction saw lot 1, consisting of the studio's documentation, including an interesting letter about Atget from André Calmettes sent to Berenice Abbott, sell for more than double its high estimate at 14,727 euro. Lot 5, three photos of a dancing mechanical figure and correspondence from Vilmos Huszar to Sasha Stone, also sold for more than double its high estimate at 5,154 euro. It's nice to see people or institutions valuing such research material.
A self portrait by Sasha Stone (lot 8) went for more than 3-1/2 x its high estimate at 4,295.34 euro. Lot 68, a pair of positive/negative prints of people crossing a street in Berlin, which I thought was a bit more interesting than the average lot, was estimated at 800-1000 euro. It sold for nearly 16,000 euro!
I liked lot 84 because it was one of the few prints on a beautiful matte paper, instead of the rather mediocre ferrotyped paper that most of the prints in this sale were made on. It showed an elevated train and had some presence. It sold for double its high estimate at 1,350 euro--certainly not the highest price in the sale. Lots 82 and 83 were also on this paper but they had condition issues--as did so many other prints in this sale.
Lot 93, showed an interesting image in Berlin's Jewish Quarter. Estimated at 400-600 euro, it sold for 5,645 euro! Yes, I will use a lot of exclamation marks on this auction coverage. Another image of Berlin's Jewish Quarter, lot 97, went even higher over its meager estimate of 600-800 euro--right to nearly 18,000 euro! Lot 98, an image that I liked in the Jewish Quarter sold for 4,541 euro over a similar estimate range.
Lot 99, another positive/negative pair of a man shining shoes (with major condition issues, including tears), sold well over its estimate range of 300-400 euro at 5,400 euro.
Lot 125 looked liked it was just a mistake that photographers occasionally make by tripping the shutter inadvertently. It was a crooked (I suppose some might say a constructivist/modernist view) shot of some feet climbing a stair. Estimated at what I thought at the time was a ridiculous 1,000-1,500 euro, it actually sold for 6,136 euro! What were these bidders thinking?
My favorite image was lot 130, one that Moholy-Nagy had made famous: the shot straight down from the top of the tower. Several observers noted that Stone's version was out of focus, but I still thought it was one of the best in the auction, in good condition and worth about 4,000-5,000 euro in my opinion. Of course it sold for much more: 12,272 euro.
Lot 223 was an interesting shot from a high angle from a building in Stuttgart. It too had serious surface condition issues, but still sold for 14,113 euro (over an estimate of 1,000-1,500 euro). Keep this one in mind for a bit later, because this image also appears in the maquette for a book project by Cami and Sasha Stone (lot 265).
The Stone Studio photomontages were somewhat interesting, but most had condition problems and weren't exactly stunning. The one combining Texas and New York City images (oil derricks gushing oil over New York City skyscrapers) was the best of the lot, although it had condition issues, including tiny holes in the print in several places. But, estimated at only 1,000-1,500 euro, it soared to 11,659 euro! The photo montage of a nude over a factory floor also clobbered its 1,000-1,500 euro estimate by nearly hitting 8,000 euro.
Back to that book maquette, which contained 16 prints. The catalogue showed only 11 of the 16 images. Trust me when I say the other five prints in the maquette didn't add anything. Condition was also an issue here with paper clip rust marks and other problems--most conservable. But that was the same with the rest of the prints in this auction, so why should that make a difference here? And remember that just one print in the maquette had already sold for over 14,000 euro in the auction. In this case, the maquette's print was in better condition. Nonetheless, while the maquette sold for about double its high estimate, it still was a relatively good buy in this sale at only 36,817 euro. These were, after all, the best images of the best, supposedly. Collector Dietmar Siegert later told me that he felt a bit of regret for not bidding this lot higher. I suppose then it could be considered the "bargain" of the auction.
The fact that lot 297 soared over its 600-800 euro estimate was not a surprise in the context of this sale. The group of 13 small images relating to the Antwerp diamond trade brought a whopping 7,363 euro.
Honestly though, someone has to tell me why the last lot, No. 319, a nice nude study in poor stained condition that is sometimes available in good prints for about 70% of the price it got here, would sell for 6,504 euro? If that isn't getting carried away by an auction, I don't know what is.
Just after the sale I had a pleasant dinner with friends Dietmar Siegert and Eduard Planting at one of my favorite Paris restaurants, Maceo's, which is at 15, Rue des Petits-Champs. Planting had just opened a gallery in Amsterdam, Eduard Planting Fine Art Photographs, which is at Eerste Bloemdwarsstraat 2. We were celebrating his birthday this particular evening (you can see the photograph on Eduard's and my pages on Facebook). Also at another table across the room were another group of friends, Paris dealer Alain Paviot and American dealer Charles Isaacs.
Maceo's is a popular place for some in the photo trade, and for good reason: excellent food; good, friendly service; and not outrageous prices--at least for this level of food (three-course prix-fixed meals vary from about 35-42 euro per person, plus drinks). They even offer a "green" vegetarian menu. The restaurant is also convenient to the "action" since it is located close to several dealers and galleries, the Bibliotheque Nationale (the old one) and the auctions at Drouot--not to mention that it is a ten-minute walk from the Carousel de Louvre during Paris Photo.
Run by Mark Williamson, an eccentric but none-the-less professional Englishman, both Maceo's and its sibling, Willi's Wine Bar, are a treat that should be on your schedule when you are in Paris (http://www.maceorestaurant.com/Maceo_English_Home.html). Again, feel free to use my name here too. They know me very well. They are closed, however, from July 14 to August 23. There is no air conditioning, but a light breeze is usually available from the open windows when appropriate.

Steven Holl Architects : Linked Hybrid
Welcome to another edition of Green Tuesdays here at architecture.MNP! This week we've got a video [in two parts] featuring the Linked Hybrid project by Steven Holl Architects. A few of the project's notable green features include:
-green roofs
-bicycle storage [although, its in Beijing – so that was a given]
-600 geothermal wells to heat & cool the building
-a recycled gray-water pond
-green-space made up of 5 distinct 'mounds' created using soil displaced by the underground parking provided for the project – the 5 mounds are meant to speak to historical Chinese culture, and represent the Zen view of the cycle of life : a mound for childhood, adolescence, middle age, old age, and a mound of eternity – each with programmatic elements linking to the others
…and its simply pretty siiick. I just hope it isn't another sponge building in the making.

Upload Music to YouTube Now
Trying to figure out how to upload music to YouTube can be one of those problems that seem it will never have an answer. When you see that so many people now are having their favorite songs uploaded to their channels, it can be a really frustrating to not know how to do it yourself. After all it couldn't be that difficult to do if so many seem to have it all figured out, right? Well, we can't say that it's as easy as you may think, but it is definitely possible if you really focus on all aspects of what needs to happen to upload music to YouTube.
What we have done here is make sure that we have provided some simple and plain steps and advise that are going to be able to help you to understand what is going on with trying to upload your music to YouTube. Hopefully these steps are going to prove to be very simple and easy because we already know that the process can seem very complicated. Are you ready for tackling this challenge? We believe you can definitely do it as long as you pay attention to the details because YouTube seems to be a little particular on those things. Let's get started with a word of advice below that will help prepare you and probably answer a lot of your problems up front.
ADVICE: Before you are going to be able to upload your music to YouTube you are going to need to make sure that your music isn't in the .mp3 format. YouTube can't accept music in that format. In order to prepare your music file for upload to YouTube you are going to need to use a video making software. Add your .mp3 file to a video making software, add a photo or two then save it as a video. That file will be the one you use to upload to YouTube. After you have that, follow the steps below.
1. Open your browser to the YouTube website and make sure that you are logged into your video channel there.
2. Click on the "Upload" button that should be located at the top of your window.
3. Choose to upload a file from your computer.
4. Find the file that you have saved on your computer and select it to be uploaded.
5. From there the process is actually finished. The only other things you will need to do while it uploads are add the title and tags you would like.
In the end, the process isn't really that hard or complicated. The only thing that most people seem to forget about is that YouTube is all about videos. So while people have figured out how to add their music files it has to be in the video format first.
We want to stop and thank you for taking the time out to review our information and learn from us here how to upload music to YouTube on this site. Make sure that you bookmark this page here and check out some of the other topics we have on the right side of this page.
