Jim Hacker is engaged in a verbal battle with his Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby (with contributions from Bernard, his Principal Private Secretary) regarding the third draft of a policy review relating to overmanning in the civil service. Hacker seeks a phased reduction of around 200,000 staff and, despite Sir Humphrey's assertions to the contrary, he is unhappy that this is the translation of the "totally unintelligible" report that he has received. Hacker is concerned that Sir Humphrey does not share his views on the matter and presses him for a straight "yes or no" answer. Sir Humphrey gives his usual ambiguous reply, which vexes the Minister.
Sometime later, Sir Humphrey invites Bernard for an informal chat. He has not yet seen the Minister's redraft of the policy review and wonders why. At first, Bernard is tightlipped, reminding Sir Humphrey that he is the Minister's Principal Private Secretary. His superior does not like this approach and points out that ministers come and go, whereas Bernard would be hoping for a long career in the civil service. Bernard takes the hint and asks Sir Humphrey if he had a duty to inform him if — to take a purely hypothetical example — a minister and his political advisors had decided to redraft a report between them and then submit it to committee at the last moment, before it could be amended by anyone else. Sir Humphrey tells him that he should not, particularly if such information was given in confidence. However, he is now sufficiently pleased to offer Bernard a drink.
Sir Humphrey confronts Hacker over the report and firmly requests that he be allowed to see the Minister's draft. At first Hacker brushes him off but eventually comes clean and informs him that he is happy with his own version and the report needs no further amendment. He tells Sir Humphrey that he has done nothing but stand in his way ever since he came into office and he is now determined to push this through. His Permanent Secretary remains implacably opposed and when Hacker demands a simple explanation, Sir Humphrey is uncharacteristically blunt, telling him, "If you're going to do this damn silly thing, don't do it in this damn silly way."
While the Minister is in a Cabinet meeting, Sir Humphrey and his colleague Sir Frederick Stewart wait outside. Also there is Daniel Hughes, the Prime Minister's senior policy advisor. He lets slip to the two civil servants that the PM has decided to take on the overmanning problem himself and is favourable to the abolition of the Department of Administrative Affairs.
Now Hacker and Sir Humphrey are of one mind and agree that they are appalled. They know they have to work together to save their careers, and try to formulate a plan. They enlist the help of Frank Weisel, Hacker's political advisor, and ask him to mobilise the backbench MPs, but he is pessimistic. Bernard then brings up the controversial policy of the Europass: the introduction of a Europe-wide identity card, which is set to be the last piece of legislation supervised by the DAA. Sir Humphrey explains that no other department wanted to handle it and expands on the reasons for Britain going into the Common Market. (Apparently because the civil service was opposed to it — on the grounds that a disunited Europe has always worked in the past, and if they were on the inside, they stood a better chance of disrupting it.) Hacker is paranoid that he has only been chosen for the job so the PM can be certain that he needs to be removed. He, Weisel and Sir Humphrey decide to visit Martin, the Foreign Secretary.
They learn that the Prime Minister is in the running for the Napoleon Prize, which is awarded for making the greatest contribution to European unity. However, he doesn't want any mention of the Europass before the ceremony for fear of rocking the boat. When they are joined by Daniel Hughes, Hacker obliquely threatens to table a question in the House of Commons, asking the PM to make an unequivocal commitment to the policy — which would infuriate either the British or the rest of Europe, depending on his answer — unless the plan to dismantle the DAA is abolished.

Is Your Nest Egg Enough to Carry You Through Your Retirement Years?
Managing Your Portfolio Now That You are Retired
You worked so hard to build your nest egg and now that you are retired, you want to hold onto as much of it as you can. Your number one goal is to have that nest egg carry you for the rest of your life, no matter how long that may be.
In its simplest form, our advice is:
- Take Charge of Your Own Destiny – Self Manage Your Portfolio
- Learn the Rules of Engagement – Before You Make Your First Move!
- Devour Information on the Internet and Apply Your Own Judgment
- Build a Library of Books and Tools
- Subscribe to Timely Newsletters
Depending on the size of your nest egg and the size and age of your family, you may still want to provide for them in some fashion, but now is the time to think long and hard about ways to retain your wealth so it carries you past your income generating years.
There are plenty of people who provide advice on how to start, grow, and manage a portfolio, but there are very few who offer assistance in holding onto the money you accumulated against the ravages of inflation, the cost of living, and the never-ending devaluation of the dollar.
Self-Managing Your Retirement Portfolio
The one thing you now have that you did not have during your active working years is time. As the Rolling Stones first observed in 1964, "Time in on my side." How you use that time, is entirely up to you, but may we suggest that this is a good time to become an active manager of your investment portfolio. If you played an active role in building your portfolio, this will be easy. If not, you can learn how to manage your portfolio and invest some of that new found time in an avocation that will surely pay dividends down the road.
Certainly recognize you are moving into uncharted waters as your own portfolio manager and, as they say in London, be careful to "mind the gap." An old proverb says, "A fool and his money are soon parted," so we urge you to begin slowly and build in plenty of safeguards. You are, after all not playing with the house's money but your own and when it is gone, it is much harder to retrieve. You no longer have your wealth building years and skills to rely upon.
Rules of Engagement
Like any new venture, spend the time to learn the rules of engagement and rest assured, dear friend, investing is not a game. Investing is a serious, serious business and one that will require all the skills, acumen and dedication you used to build your wealth in the first place.
Build yourself a library of books about investing and be sure to take everything that everyone says with that proverbial grain of salt. There are literally thousands of books for making money in the stock market and for every piece of advice; you can find someone else offering the exact opposite advice.
Best Resources for Retirees
Having quoted the old proverb about fools, reading the Motley Fool is one place to begin your journey into the uncharted waters of portfolio management. Here is a link to what Investopedia considers the Ten Books Every Investor Should Read. We suggest reading them all before making any moves.
Go into the stock market with your eyes wide open and both hands firmly placed on your wallet. There are plenty of sharks who would like nothing more than to take your money and they are good at it.
Using the Internet as a Resource
While the old maxim that you get what you pay for is true most of the time, there are plenty of tools available via the internet that can help you hold onto what you have. With the exception of making an actual trade, nearly everything you need to manage your portfolio is available at no cost through the internet.
Finding the Tools
We set out to find the tools that were formerly available through a brokerage account and were surprised to see that nearly everything we used to pay for is now available at no cost. The easiest way is to simply google the term(s) you are looking for and click through the first few pages. It is also a good idea to read some reviews about the various tools you find to see what other people think about them.
We organized our tools into the following categories and then went looking for free versions for each category. You can do the same. Simply create bookmarks for each category, google them, tag them and get to work. You will be amazed at the amount of information available. Now it's time to apply your own judgment. Try a few things "on paper," test the water, and observe the results. If there is one rule about investing and the stock market, it is that "anything can happen at any time for any reason." Just because something worked last year or even five minutes ago, does not mean it will work the same way again.

Subscribe to Timely Newsletters
As the publisher of a paid investment newsletter, we are admittedly biased, but we think timely newsletters are a very good investment for the average investor. Good newsletters provide current and objective advice and insights that are not necessarily available from free resources and newsletters.
A Summary and a Guide to Retaining Your Wealth after Retirement
When you are ready to begin managing your own portfolio, here are some tips to make the journey successful:
- Diversify – Never put all your assets in one basket – consider stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, CD's – there are plenty of ways to diversify
- Watch Your Money Like a Hawk – Pay careful attention to everything that happens with your money because it is very hard to replace
- Consider Second Career – Look for ways to supplement your nest egg before you get too old and consider managing your own portfolio as a great avocation and second career.

Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
Few books have enjoyed the acclaim that Bonhoefferby Eric Metaxas has garnered this year. Multiple news shows have invited Metaxas to come in and share about the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Even President George Bush has taken on Metaxas book as his personal reading project. Sales of the book have been beyond the wildest expectations for a biography from a Christian publisher. Having recently read Bonhoeffer, I can honestly say all of the acclaim and praise that the book is getting is truly deserved.
Bonhoeffer is a powerful book. In many ways, Metaxas tells Bonhoeffers story with such passion and urgency that one could easily mistake the book as a novel. The book begins by sharing about Bonhoeffers family and his early years. It quickly moves along into Dietrichs youth and early adulthood. As Bonhoeffer comes of age, his native Germany moves more and more toward Nazi rule. As the evils of Hitler rise, so does the character of Dietrich Bonhoeffer to oppose the lies of the Nazi party and its influence on the church. The reader is able to see Bonhoeffers courage in the face of tremendous opposition and in the end the reader witnesses Dietrichs death for his Christian convictions.
Bonhoeffer is thoroughly Christian without being preachy. This is because Metaxas writes this book as a witness to an amazing man and that mans witness to God, allowing Bonhoeffers life to speak for itself. He tells of his struggles and his victories. Whether we see Bonhoeffers passion for spiritual development of his trainees in the Confessing Church or his desperate pursuit of a place to worship that preached theologically grounded sermons when he came to America, we come to discover a man full of Christian conviction. By the end of the book, we discover a genius, scholar, and leader that refused to flee from evil in the world, but fought against evil courageously. The reader is left longing for their life to matter in the same way that Bonhoeffers did.
Bonhoeffer is not an easy read. The text is nearly 600 pages long. At times, reading about the middle of Bonhoeffers life can be tedious. Both of these realities may be enough to scare some readers off. However, those scared off by the books size and thoroughness will be missing out. Metaxas has written a biography that will not only be treasured by the person who purchases the book today. This book will be a book that grows in influence and respect in both faith and academic circles for years to come. Clint Walker, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
Book Jacket:
After discovering the fire of true faith in a Harlem church, Bonhoeffer returned to Germany and became one of the first to speak out against Hitler. As a double-agent, he joined the plot to assassinate the Führer, and was hanged in Flossenberg concentration camp at age 39. Since his death, Bonhoeffer has grown to be one of the most fascinating, complex figures of the 20th century.

Actor and filmmaker Casey Affleck will reportedly no longer be directing his forthcoming passion project Light Of My Life.
The 41-year-old star, a frontrunner to win the Best Actor Oscar next month (Feb17) for his role in Manchester by the Sea, wrote the script and will star in the new movie about a man who finds himself trapped in a forest with his young daughter.
He was also slated to be in the director's chair for the project, the first time he would have taken the reins on a movie since 2010's I'm Still Here, the controversial mockumentary he made about his friend Joaquin Phoenix's plans to launch a rap career.
According to Baz Bamigboye, a columnist in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper Affleck has said he is no longer directing the movie and instead wants a first-time filmmaker to take charge.
The actor has won huge critical acclaim for his role as a grieving brother in Kenneth Lonergan's drama Manchester by the Sea.
His directing career has so far been less stellar however, as I'm Still Here earned critical derision and tarnished his reputation after a female producer and cinematographer working on the movie filed lawsuits accusing him and his crew of sexual harassment during filming.
The star settled the lawsuits out of court in September 2010, the same month the movie debuted to scathing reviews, but denies the allegations.
"People say whatever they want. Sometimes it doesn't matter how you respond," he told Variety when speaking about the lawsuits last year (16). "I guess people think if you're well-known, it's perfectly fine to say anything you want. I don't know why that is. But it shouldn't be, because everybody has families and lives."
Light of My Life is scheduled for release next year (18).

Anne Hathaway Didn't Love It When James Franco Called Her a 'Tasmanian Devil'
She had another, better metaphor in mind.
A month after his sleepy stint hosting the Oscars, James Franco appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman and explained himself thusly: "People said I was under the influence ... I think I know why. I love her, but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway." In the current issue of Bazaar, Hathaway is asked about his remark, and it turns out that she would have preferred a descriptor that wasn't from the golden age of Looney Tunes. "How did I take it?" she says. "I let James know that a whirling dervish is a more flattering comparison than a Tasmanian devil. I called him, and we e-mailed a bit." Still, Hathaway has made her peace with critics who found her Oscar performance too buoyant: "Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars." [Harper's Bazaar]

Get Involved in the Sharing Economy
Ditch outright ownership in favour of borrowing or loaning goods and services, simultaneously helping your pocket and the environment.
Built on a premise of peer-to-peer exchanges of personal items or services, the sharing economy is a platform that provides access to said items or services (sometimes for a set period of time) meaning users avoid having to procure them outright. The online landscape is bursting with portals of so-called collaborative consumption where people can list items that they wish to rent out or borrow such as bicycles, cars, apartments and even parking spaces.
Services offering accommodation, ridesharing and book swapping are gathering momentum in the online world and more are developing all the time. Below are a few portals allowing you to get in on the sharing spirit:
Swapping, loaning, helping:
- The app Yerdle is like an online marketplace of sorts but without cash. Instead, the idea is to trade your unwanted goods against credits which you can then use to 'purchase' other secondhand goods that other members of the community are looking to trade. The team behind the app has a pretty clear and direct mission of reducing the number of new items people purchase by 25 percent. Download the app for iPhone here.
- Bookswapping via BookMooch. Kind of like an online library, book swapping allows you to loan your books out temporarily or browse the site for books that others are willing to loan.
- Freecycling (basically swapping or giving away your unwanted goods) has been around in some form or other for eons and the advent of technology has helped freecyclers around the world in keeping their storage closets empty. The Freecycle Network has a worldwide database of more than eight million freecyclers. Simply search on their website for groups in your area and start swapping.
- Upgraded your mobile phone this year but your old one still works? On the hunt for a decent used camera and want to offer guitar-playing tips? The website TradeYa allows users to do a good ol' fashioned barter deal to trade not just secondhand goods but also services and skills.
- Need an extra pair of hands around the house or want to help out a neighbour? TaskRabbit (currently operating in the US and the UK) lets you look for volunteers in your local area that can assist with household tasks.
Share a ride:
- Carpooling or ridesharing via RideFinder, BlaBlaCar or RideshareOnline. Car pooling cuts the number of cars on the road which has countless benefits for the environment (as well as cutting down traffic) and you can even save some cash by asking participants to pitch in for gas. The platform also lets you offer a spot in your car, find a carpool to join, seek bikeriding buddies as well or find fellow passengers to share bus or rail journeys.
Find or offer accommodation:
- Airbnb allows people to rent out or offer rooms and apartments for short term stays and has operations in hundreds of countries and is constantly expanding while CouchSurfing sees people provide a couch, bed a place to sleep free of charge to traveller could be an option for the more budget-conscious holidaymaker.
- Compare and share also lists a range of accommodation options as well as mealsharing and carpooling possibilities.
Share a meal:
- Mealsharing is designed to get people out of their comfort zones and binding with new people over food. People can 'sign up' to a dinner party, pay their share of the food and go and enjoy a meal with a group of potential new friends.
- Platforms like Leftoverswap and Foodsharing allow people to share leftover food, meals or groceries with others while Cropmobster (US only) sees excess crops that otherwise be tossed being donated to charity.
- Grab your laptop and join like-minded freelancers, contracters and solopreneurs in one of the many coworking spaces popping up around the world. Copass is a global coworking network and connects users to over 500 coworking spaces worldwide.

OuiShare is a global network of sharers and collaborators that create and develop ideas and projects within the realm of collaborative consumption.

The Danish meaning of hygge
Hygge is as Danish as pork roast and it goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. In essence, hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm glow of candlelight is hygge. Friends and family – that's hygge too. There's nothing more hygge than sitting round a table, discussing the big and small things in life. Perhaps hygge explains why the Danes are the happiest people in the world?
The Danish word hygge (pronounced hue-gah) is a feeling or mood that comes from taking genuine pleasure in making ordinary everyday things simply extraordinary; whether it's making coffee a verb by lingering over a cup to a cosy evening in with friends to lighting a candle with every meal.
Some refer to Hygge as the Art of Creating Intimacy (with yourself, friends and home). Words like cosiness, security, familiarity, comfort, reassurance, fellowship, simpleness and living well are often used to describe the idea of Hygge.
Technology and modern day busy-ness has removed so many of us from ourselves, our homes and ordinary tasks, making them feel as though these things are hard to do, have no importance or are too time-consuming. It's stopped us from being authentic and conscious. Hygge is about celebrating reality and present.
Danes are the happiest nation in the world for good reason – they make enjoyment a priority and take the time to celebrate/acknowledge simple, wonderful moments (like meals, visiting, being active or even just sitting by the beach) that nourish the soul. They find ways to incorporate hygge into their daily life so it becomes a natural extension rather than a forced and stressful event.
By creating simple rituals without effort {such as brewing real tea with a little china cup every evening to stopping at the flower shop every week} the Danes see both the domestic and personal life as an art form and not every drudgery to get away from. Hygge is about being present and recognizing (and enjoying) the moment.
Think of it as what chic is to the French; a lifestyle that can explain a table top to a dinner party to a charming house or a personal way of being. Basic, uncomplicated, un-exaggerated – Hygge!

Sticker shock: I pulled into the gas station one week ago. It was like any other Thursday with the sun shining a buttery color and tinting the whole upcoming weekend with beautiful prospects. And just as I was beginning to let my workweek unwind, replacing my shallow breathing with deeper, life-affirming breaths, the pump stopped and I took a peek at the price. $52.16. Oh my.
I swear I started to break a sweat. As soon as I got home I began to research ways to save money on gas—I must have been doing something wrong for such a punishing bill, right? I looked up my car's miles per gallon data, and found that it has a measly 18 mpg in city driving, and 26 mpg in highway driving. Combined, I should be getting 21 mpg. Then I went outside and turned the car on to fiddle with the information system, which gives out a lot of useful information such as average mpg, average mph, and how many miles you have left until E.
Over the course of the next several days I played with this system on our vehicle. One really neat window I found was a videogame-like barometer that tells you if you are high on fuel efficiency or low on fuel efficiency with immediate feedback according to how you are driving. To begin with, my average mile per hour was 29, and my average miles per gallon was 21.6. I remember about a year ago I had an average of 22 mpg, and I began to wonder what had happened to my fuel efficiency.
Using the barometer window, I played around with different techniques to figure out how to keep the ticker further right towards fuel efficiency rather than further left. Each time the barometer hit all the way up to the fuel efficient way, I could hear a bell in my head going ding ding ding! It became a game. My foot began to hone in on the various tensions of the gas pedal. Drifting to a slow and steady stop half a mile up the road instead of hurrying up and waiting behind a row of cars was the order of the day. Bonus points were to be had for each red light that I successfully did not have to stop at due to slowing down half a mile or so ahead of time (I assure you I did not become a nuisance to other drivers) and deftly cruising through them once they hit green again. After three days of this, I got the best feedback of all: my mpg finally changed to 21.7. Triumph!
Even though I am beating the combined average mpg for my vehicle, I would much rather be closer to the 26 mpg average for highway driving, and so I have made it my goal to continue playing this game to see how many extra miles I can get out of each tank of gas. Wish me luck!
In the meantime, I have put together links for articles on how to save money on gas from several personal finance bloggers that I work with through the Yakezie Network. Here's to finding some gas relief for all of us (I couldn't help myself)!

Remember all those times "Snooki & JWOWW" wanted to film in various New Jersey places only to be summarily denied?
Well Assemblyman Ronald Dancer is aiming to assert some kind of order when it comes to "reality"-driven productions that do film in N.J. towns.
Dancer, a Republican from Ocean County, named "Snookiville," his proposed legislation, after Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of "Jersey Shore." Basically he wants government to exercise a kind of uniform control over reality shows.
One specific request: Dancer would like reality show productions to foot the bill for any increased police presence. He's cited crowd control as another need that may arise when — as in Seaside Heights — people are wont to gawk at the stars of the show as they go about their normal affairs for the camera. Witness any recent episode of "Jersey Shore" — the cast has even attracted its own "stalkers."
Yet reality series are prized for their own "drama." If ratings are any indication — "Jersey Shore" is the highest-rated series in MTV history — this is often one huge reason why they prove successful at all.
In June, "Jersey Shore" cast member Deena Cortese was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct during the taping of the sixth and last season, which premieres 10 p.m. Oct. 4 on MTV. (The charge was later dropped). That incident resulted in another complaint, but it wasn't the first time the cast had a run in with police. Several incidents have been captured on camera, others involving Polizzi as well as fellow cast member Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.
Meanwhile production has started on a second season of the Polizzi spinoff "Snooki & JWOWW" in Manchester, safely in Ocean County, Assemblyman Dancer's home turf.
As usual, "Jersey Shore" filmed its last season in Seaside Heights. Other scenes from the first episode were shot in cast members' homes in Toms River and New Egypt.

1. Get ready for a barrage from these New Look Wings.
Yes, the Red Wings are without Nik Lidstrom, Brad Stuart and Tomas Holmstrom from last year's squad, but they still have Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and one of the best coaches in the league in Mike Babcock. He stated last night he wants to play as much of the game as he can in Chicagos end of the ice. Get ready for a ferocious forecheck.
2. Special Teams may be the decider.
Last year, Detroit was the second-least penalized team in the league. This year they are the second most, having taken eight minor penalties in their last win against Minnesota. Chicagos penalty kill still ranks among the tops in the league, having killed off 16 of 17 short handed situations, but they will be tested by a Detroit powerplay that scored its first goals of they year (2) against the Wild.
3. Wings taste best when theyre b-eaten at home.
The Red Wings are still the best rival the Chicago Blackhawks have. There is a lot of history between these two storied franchises. Detroit has fallen on hard times, and they are not the Wings of the past. But they still have what it takes to be spoilers, and they feel if they can win in Chicago, it may help change the mindset of their team. Chicago can set a new franchise record for consecutive wins to start a season. The United Center will be rocking.

PIKEVILLE — A Pike County magistrate seeking re-election is the target of a so-called unauthorized campaign group that is the first formed in Kentucky since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled corporations can support or oppose candidates, not just issues, in elections.
The group Citizens for Eastern Kentucky Government has received $2,500 from The Law Office of Ray Jones & Bill Hickman and $15,000 from Utility Management Group, which operates Pike County's Mountain Water District. Ray Jones, a state senator, does legal work for UMG. They are targeting a magistrate who has been highly critical of the company in the past year.
The group began airing a television ad last week that includes images of a woman in racy clothes and says Magistrate Chris Harris "and his cronies" in the Kentucky Association of Counties have spent "our tax money on expensive hotels in New York and Washington, Christmas presents, Derby tickets, casinos, strip clubs, even call girls." The ad cites Herald-Leader articles about the spending and is airing on Suddenlink and Intermountain Cable stations, said the group's spokesman, Georgia lawyer Howard Mead. WYMT-TV in Hazard pulled the ad because of questions about its accuracy, station officials said last week.
Harris was critical of UMG's close ties to public officials and its running of the Pike County water service. Last year, he called for a state audit of the district, which he says has seen a "tremendous decline in financial condition." That audit is still pending.
"I don't make any apologies for my efforts to clean up the mess there. If I have to stand up for the people I represent against the folks from Louisville, against liars from Atlanta, I'm going to stand for them," Harris said.
In articles published last year, the Herald-Leader never linked Harris, who is now KACo's president-elect, directly to questionable spending. A state auditor's report did not specifically implicate Harris, who was elected to be a member of the KACo board for several years, left in 2007, and returned as a member of the executive committee in November 2008.
Mead said receipts for a $2,177 three-night Washington hotel stay, including an $83 breakfast and $237 beverage tab, show Harris participated in excessive spending by the semi-public KACo, which provides various services, including insurance and legal defense, to Pike and other counties.
Harris said he stands by the trip to Washington in March 2009. He said he met with state senators and representatives, and helped secure recertification of South Williamson's floodwall on the Tug Fork. Harris said he has never submitted any expense for reimbursement by Pike County taxpayers.
Harris said he contacted Intermountain Cable and Suddenlink about the ad but does not know if they are considering pulling it.
"There has to be more to this story than what we know already. Why would these people go so far, to such great lengths, to hide their identity?" Harris said.
Early Tuesday, Mead said the "citizens of Pike County" who paid for the ad wanted to be anonymous because they feared retaliation by an elected official. Mead said he was contacted by the group's Louisville chairman and did not know who footed the bill for the ad.
Jones said he has gotten involved because "I don't like seeing good, honest people impugned," defending employees of UMG and the Mountain Water District board.
Jones said he didn't know the organizers of the Citizens for Eastern Kentucky Government, but he agreed with its aims, and "a friend" — meaning UMG officer Greg May and Mountain Water District board members — needed help.
Jones said Harris wants to take too much credit for any accomplishments on the 2009 Washington trip, and Harris criticized Mountain Water District for seeking coal severance funds to pay its debt service while asking for the same funding to pay debt service on county dump and jail projects.
Utility Management Group did not answer phone calls Tuesday. The chairman of Citizens for Eastern Kentucky Government, Ryan Stansbury, did not return phone calls from the Herald-Leader, and the man listed as the group's treasurer, Doug Wise in Louisville, said he did not want to comment.
There might have been unauthorized campaign groups before this year, said Emily Dennis, general counsel for the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance, but they were supported by individuals, not corporations. Unauthorized campaign groups have to provide proof after the election that they have not coordinated with or given money to a candidate, but they are allowed to independently oppose or support a candidate. Citizens for Eastern Kentucky Government, which according to documents in the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance accepted its first donation on April 29, is the first unauthorized campaign group to register since the Supreme Court's January ruling, Dennis said.
Harris, a Democrat, is challenged in the May 18 primary by two other candidates for Pike County's 6th District magistrate's seat: Gary Bruce Thacker of Canada, and Michael Smith of Sidney.

One of the more fascinating aspects of cultural history is the tracing of patterns of influence. The focus may be on an idea that becomes a widespread model of feeling or conduct; or it can rest on objects whose form or decoration has an appeal that reaches to unlikely places. Either way, the process is the same. One tracks the familiar through many transformations.
``Blue and White: Chinese Porcelain and Its Impact on the Western World,`` through Dec. 1 at the Smart Gallery, 5550 S. Greenwood Ave., is a specialist`s exhibition that at the same time conveys to a wider audience some of the excitement of a detective`s search. A great many of the 114 pieces are beautiful examples of ceramic art, but several others are ugly and, in any case, such values are not always the point. Our interest is meant to be held by a network of cultural interactions.

Love yourself in order to love others fully
1. Be your OWN best friend. Why not buy yourself a gift? When we show our self love we can show others more love. This isn't selfish. If you haven't already got something, how can you give it away? Love is just the same; you must have it in you to give out before you can receive it. If you want more love you first have to give it.
Gain knowledge
and seek understanding
2. Be compassionate. Give others the attention they need during the festivities by being more understanding. We can never walk in someone else's shoes, so best not to judge. The Christmas Season brings up all kinds of emotions for people and we never know all the details and emotions that someone harbours in their subconscious mind.
The atmosphere both at home and at work becomes more challenging at this time of year. The pressure builds as we all try to make the festivities perfect, adding extra work onto an already busy schedule. PATIENCE is the key.
Be honest with yourself and take responsibility
3. Take responsibility for the comments you make and choose your words wisely. Words are all open to interpretation and we have no control over how someone else interprets what we say. Be honest with yourself and others. Were the words that came out of your mouth your true feelings? Honesty is the best policy but if honesty is likely to hurt someone, perhaps wait until after Christmas and discuss patiently from a heart-centred place, considering the other person's emotions and feelings before yours. As always, be aware that over 90% of communication is non-verbal. Check if your body language is reflecting your spoken words.
Have a deep inner belief that all is as it should be
4. Have faith in each other. Most people do not set out to hurt others. Arguments are usually linked to something other than the subject being argued about. The Christmas Season brings up all kinds of memories for people, even if they are not aware of them. Perhaps some of these memories lead to a person not feeling good enough and lacking self-esteem. They are probably trying to right a wrong from childhood. You hear about people who never received a great deal at Christmas as a child and often that person will over indulge their children at this time of year. This is not always the best move for those involved but it is their way of putting the past right. If you disagree with someone, be gentle and seek understanding. As Stephen Covey is famous for saying "first seek to understand, then be understood."
You don't always get what you want
5. Always put others' needs first, take your mind OFF what YOU want and on what others want. This way you avoid disappointment over gifts because your mind will have been full of how you can help others and what you can give others. You won't have time to think about yourself so anything you receive is a bonus. Remember other people, husbands, wives, partners are trying their best to buy gifts that bring joy and happiness. Sometimes people get it right and sometimes people get it wrong. It is just the way it is, you get what you get and it has come from someone's heart, just say a big thank you to the universe that you have enough love in your life that someone cared to buy you a gift.
Have fun!!!
Summary – Be patient, be kind, be loving and make sure you put time to one side to share dreams for 2014 and to plan some dreams together. By being forgiving to others and excusing their faults and your own, you are sure to have a great Christmas and New Year together.
It may be that your relationship is on the brink of a break up. Are you dreading Christmas? Do you constantly ask yourself "should I stay, should I go or should I leave it until after Christmas?"
Whether you are planning a break up or are fearful of what the future holds, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We have been getting great results helping couples, either helping them to grow together, realising they have become blind to life or helping people to see that it is time to separate and they separate as friends.
The important thing is to relax and enjoy Christmas.

Logitech Squeezebox DuetFrom CES 2008, Natali Del Conte takes a look at the Logitech Squeezebox Duet, a system which controls your media library from any PC, Mac, or Linux machine, running over your home network.
>> Hey there I'm Natali del Conte with CNET TV here from the CES floor with a first look at the Logitech Squeezbox Duet. Now the Squeezbox is not a new product from Logitech. What's new about it is they've got a new controller. Now the controller in like the old one, which mounted on your wall, is actually a portable device. It looks a bit like an iPod, in fact it's even got the scroll wheel like the iPod. The display is really nice, it's a 2 point 4 inch LCD screen. Now about the Squeezbox, it controls your media library from any PC, MAC, or Linux machine. It runs over your home network on an 802 11 router. You upload your library into the Squeezbox network and then play whatever you've got. A cool thing about this, you also don't need a PC because it connects to the internet, so it can play any online radio, it can play with rhapsody, pandora, and logitech says they have a new partnership with Last FM as well, so you'll be able to network within the Squeezbox community. It costs 399 dollars, if you want an extra controller that's 299 dollars. You might want an extra receiver as well, the receiver is 149 dollars and you'll want one of these either one per room, or one per speaker set up. So this is the Logitech Squeezbox Duet and it is available this month. I'm Natali del Conte with CNET TV coming to you from CES 2008. [ music ]

The scapula and the sternum are the two bones connected to the clavicle. The scapula is commonly referred to as the shoulder blade, while the sternum is better known as the breastbone. The clavicle is also called the collarbone.Continue Reading
The human body has two clavicles, as well as a pair of scapulas. Clavicles are normally prominent in thin people. The clavicle, which belongs to the class of long bones, is the only long bone in the human body that lies horizontally. It can be divided into three parts: the sternal or medial end, the acromial or lateral end, and the shaft. The acromial end of each clavicle attaches to the acromion of each scapula, while each sternal end attaches to the sternum.Learn more about Bones

Don Meredith on what not to do
3 comments:
- DC Reid said...
The Goose
Don Meredith is a good man and a fellow member of the Outdoor Writers of Canada. His current post on Access Copyright has lots of meat and is worthy of thought. Go and read his comments at: http://donwrites.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/killing-the-goose/.
The comments I make here refer to his comments. On The Goose: I would say, no, reprography was not started for writers and publishers. It was brought in by the conservative government of the day, and Flora McDonald spoke more than once on the subject in 1988, to give writers some revenue from, to that point, unauthorized copying of their works. You can read her speeches, if you wish to – you have to go to Hansard and request a paper copy as they have not been put on the web, to my knowledge.
It is clear from her speeches that reprography was intended for writers, as in 100% of the money. There are one or two mushy spots where a publisher could claim some coverage, but only one or two.
The reason publishers are part of the reprography system today is that writers, when they were writing the bylaws of the society, decided to extend an invitation to the regional, cultural publishers who by in large were and are the publishers of our printed-page books. We are the good guys. There are about 600 publishers involved today, and most are still in the class of publishers that writers extended that invitation to so many years ago. I know the person who wrote the bylaws, and she is shocked at where reprography has gone in Canada.
In a nutshell, reprography has moved toward more than 70% of the revenue going to the large educational publishers. Many Canadian cultural publishers that I know have been sliced out of reprography completely because the repertoire class on the publisher's side was rejigged along the way to reward dollar value of sales. This rewarded the large educational publishers primarily.
The other loser was the original people who were intended to be the sole beneficiaries of the program: writers. Contracts have reduced educational writers to fee for service, and had their royalties eliminated, so that these publishers now receive all rights at the front end, make all the money on sales to our children – texts costing $100 to $300 these days - and then come at the end to claim 70% of the money from reprography because they eliminated royalties from writers at the front end. (Oh, and fee per page, also favours them, but that is another subject).
So, no, reprography was intended pretty much solely for writers and it has ended up pretty much only paid to a select group of publishers. And to pick up the last sentence of this section of Don's comments: no, the repertoire category has not been given solely to creators. This is one of the myths of AC. When I first came to look at AC, I calculated using the actual figures in the Friedland Report that creators received only 10% of revenues. AC claimed it was 36%. Wrong. What they did not tell creators is that publishers share in the repertoire category, too. Seventy percent goes to the large educational publishers. And that left the 10% that I calculated for writers. I will do a post in the weeks to come on How to Lie With Statistics that goes more deeply into how figures are massaged to tell the tale the teller wants told, in this case AC is the teller.

The Golden Egg
The permitting legislation for reprography set out that there be a repertoire class for photocopied works. The introduction of Payback changed all this.
The main problem with this is that it essentially eliminates the concept of reprography being a collective - the whole point of its being set up. This is a big issue that writers have not been told about - it is not in AC interests to do so.
In addition, adding visual creators reduces money for writers, and many can quite rightly say that visual creators should be handled by another collective. Those who are both written and visual creators simply become members of two collectives. This means a reduction of 40% of income to writers in the current Payback system and is a big reason why 80% of writers received less this year under Payback than previously under the unstratified repertoire system.
The other thing is that Payback was not discussed with members of the reprographic mechanism. We had no say in it. As AC likes to use the concept of 'fiduciary duty' in a pegorative way that means signatory reps do not answer to their organizations, but only support AC, writers do not have any say in any kind of change to the methods of money distribution.
Writers are at about 10% of revenue, and should, at minimum, be at 50% This is very simple. Our reps are not able to represent us at the table.
Writers did not ask for Payback, in fact, writers did not have a clue what it was about until it was already in place.
The system arbitrarily chops off works of 20 years, even though writers own copyright for their entire lives, say, as much as another 50 years. In addition we own copyright for 50 years after death. In other words, Payback has eliminated a practical means for gaining this revenue.
Writers need a new mechanism for that 100 years or so of copyright that we own. The creator reps are so tightly controlled by the reprographic mechanism that they do not represent writer interests.
So, no, the golden egg, that sits now at $104 million should have $52 million of it come to writers, rather than the much smaller amount of $4 million that came last year.
I lose a book next year, from a system that had one of its goals to help writers with income in their later years when they were not publishing as much. Payback has eliminated this purpose of reprography and further erodes the income of writers, and those when they are older and need the income as a form of pension.
$175 dollar writers don't think the system is fair, and our elders, who have no pension or benefits, unlike our own staff at the reprography mechanism, are further pushed below the poverty line.

I feel that we all wrestle with God now and then. We struggle with our faith and we battle our beliefs. But at the end of the day, He wants us to struggle and grow and learn for ourselves. That is how we build ourselves.

This is a commissioned piece I did for a local musician that fell in love with my paintings "Ghosts". She's amazing, look her up! She has plans to use this painting for an album cover later this year.
Commission. Not for sale.
This was equal parts fun and frustrating. It's easier to paint someone else because you don't have to get everything exactly right. But I had to rework my face several times to make it look like me without a nose job. But I finally fulfilled my dream of having a pet dragon! So. It was worth it. -Lexi

This was my first experimentation into a simpler, more illustrative style. I avoided textures and implemented graphic design elements where I could. It was fun to do and it kept me sane while working on my detailed self-portrait. -Lexi
Original for sale. 8"x10". Oil on cradled wood panel. $600.
I took another class from Howard Lyon in the fall of 2016 and this time it was a Master Copy class. I chose a Bouguereau and it was a blast! I learned so much about skin tones and fabrics. -Lexi
Original for sale. Email for price.
I have a gorgeous friend with amazing green hair that inspired me and modeled for this piece. This was an experiment in textures- the fabric, the leather, the metal accessories, and the horns- they were all new to me and I indulged in the experience. - Lexi
Original for sale. 8"x10". Oil on aluminum panel. $1000.
I did this piece at a Fantasty Portrait class that Howard Lyon taught of the summer of 2016. It was my first serious oil painting. I don't mean to brag, but it definitely encouraged me to pursue art again. - Lexi

Bed Rear
He is the most attractive man in the film (love the glasses), and based on the distant rear view and how he fills out a towel, he has a great ass. Too bad we didn't get to see more. Before his death, there is a lengthy sequence of his glasses being pulled off and him and Anna trying to rut on a slab. Then after he's killed one of the villians yanks and cuts his clothes off of him (they only let us see up to when he's in his boxers). Strange, but not unarousing.
Hot guy
Very, very cute actor. We see him lying naked on his stomach on a bed, and can see his ass, but it is from a bit of a distance so it's not the best shot. But, oh well. This is after he couldn't get it up to have sex with Gretchen, and she later jokes about it.
Great looking actor -- but shot at a distance
When Franka Potente walks into her flat, she sees him lying in her roommate's bed. He is completely naked, but we see it only at a distance. This is a great-looking actor who became famous as a model.
Butt when lying in bed
After having sex with Anna Loos, he's lying in the bed and we get to see his bum. He is really handsome, but the view of his Butt is not the best!
Holger's Tight Ass!
In this violent German horror flick, we get too see a passable amount of the male 'Anatomy.' Halfway through the film, Franke Potente enter's her friends apartment, startled to find a fully nude Holger Speckhahn asleep on his stomach without any sheets covering his smooth body. During this scene we get a somewhat distant glance at his tight, muscular cheeks that make you drool with lust. C'est manifique!
Fighting and death
Arndt has one of those cute punk-boy looks, with his multiple piercings and shaggy black hair. From about 17-22 minutes you can see several views of his plump, pleasing buttocks as he fights and is killed by very thorough guards.
Good butt, but mildly cute
Plays mildly cute young student who finds himself strapped to an operating table, about to be injected with some kind of blood hardening poison. He surprises one of the villains by jumping him, and we see that's completely naked. Nice, but quick shots of his not-bad butt in the struggle, but then he's killed by one of the villains and falls on the floor. Good overall shots of his butt lying dead on the floor.
Nice view of butt while lying on floor
Has a punk-look in this film. Only moderately handsome, but shows his butt quite extensively as he fights his murderer completely naked. When he is dead, we see him lying naked on the floor for a long time and get the sense that his butt is his best "ass"et.
Male Butt on Display
Arndt Schwering gives us the most exposure of flesh in Anatomy but I wish it were Benno and not him. Not to say Arndt isn't handsome in his own way, but his nudity can't compare to the wanted yearning of seeing more Benno body. Anyways...Arndt is on display for an extended amount of time. He wakes up, fully nude, and tries to escape the lab. We get fleeting images of his dimpled, round ass in many shots and even quick glimpses at his big balls. Overall a terrific scene.
Butt Kisser
At around 37 minutes, this Adonis has his bicycle shorts pulled down so the ladies can ogle at a close-up view of his great ass. Then one of them kisses a supple cheek. Very brief nudity, although hot. This scene suffers if you see the US dubbed version (this was on the Encore channel version I watched), so you may want to hit mute.
naked ass
nice ass, german
Top of hot butt
Very, very hot actor. Plays this beautiful stud the women lust over. In one scene, Gretchen objectifies him in the park, showing off what a beautiful specimen he is. She pulls down the side of his spandex shorts to display how hot his butt muscles are, and then she kisses his cheek. Would have liked to see more of this babe.
Bubble butt kissed
Finally we get to see his butt. This actor has too many films in which he teases but shows nothing. Here is looks great -- better than in his other films. His girlfriend pulls down his bicycle shorts twice in succession and displays perfectly shaped mounds. Then she kisses then and sends him on his way.
We get to see his super bum, when Anna Loos drops his pants to see his butt. She later kisses it. He has such a great bum!I'm waiting for the frontal!
Benno's God mage cheek--s
The handsome Benno Furmann is briefly and somewhat partially on display in 'Anatomy.' A female character calls Benno over from a football game so she can use him as an example for the male anatomy. As she points on the structure of his body with scientific names, she decides to pull down his shorts and point out his luscious glutious maximus. And maximus indeed! We get to see his right cheeks and most of his left, leaving us with an almost wholesome image of his God-given cheeks. I just wish we saw more....
Naked, but not much
Cute actor plays love interest of lead character. Near the end, he's strapped to a table to be operated on by the AAA villains (must see the film to understand) and he's clearly naked, although his mid-section is covered. But we do get a great look at his pubes.
Pubic hair only
Great-looking actor is naked on table, but he is covered right where he shouldn't be! We get a nice look at his pubic hair and can catch a glimpse of a small bit of penis, but not nearly the whole thing.
Lying backside on the lab table. We see pubes, but that's it.
The scene comes near the end of the movie. This film wins my award for showing more nude males without ever showing a crotch area (pity)! All the more surprising since this is a German film, and didn't they invent Naturism itself?
Movie tells the story of a group of doctors who need bodies for medical specimens. Only thing is they incapacitate the victims and dissect them alive! The plot bears some resemblence to the 1978 American film, "Coma." But this one is better.
With all its twists & turns , the second half of the movie will have you on the edge of your seat. Kudos to all involved who provide us with many shocks along the way.

"Kevin Lucia's "When We All Meet at the Ofrenda" made me truly care about the protagonist and continued that theme I liked at the beginning of what we'd do for our loved ones. "
Gutted releases June 24th, featuring an all-star lineup which, quite frankly, leaves me feeling more than a little unworthy. That, and I feel like this is one of the best stories I've ever written. Check out the synopsis and TOC below:
Awe and ache. Terror and transcendence. Regret and rebirth. Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories is coming this June! Imagine a series of stories that explores the tension between beauty and horror, wonder and terror, sorrow and transcendence. A book where the only choices are "bad" and "worse." It's a book of scars, regret and loneliness. But through it all, it's a book where hope can still exist and beauty can still thrive. Where goodness, if not rewarded, is at least acknowledged. A flower in the barrel of a rifle. A rose rising defiantly through a crack in the concrete. This is GUTTED: An anthology of terrible wonder and darkness. With a foreword by Cemetery Dance magazine founder Richard Chizmar.

The Brutal Boxer
Reviewed by
on 2002-04-18
: Plenty of punching
Ray Lui spends much of his screen time punching at nearly everything that moves. Kwan Shan has a more relaxed time, as his character is fancied by the lovely Tim Lei. The talent in this film should have made it enjoyable, but unfortunately the story wavers between nasty and dull.
I'm not sure where this film is supposed to be set, but it was filmed in Thailand (there are signs everywhere in Thai), probably on the outskirts of Bangkok. Mainly of interest for an early appearance by Jackie Chan as one of the thugs, and his frequent co-actor and good friend Mars plays another.
The English language credits on the copy I saw incorrectly listed the stars as King Chan (this is Chan Sing's character) and Alan Tang (must be getting confused with the later film of the same name - no sign of The Prince here). And the awful jerking pan-and-scan made the movie even harder to watch, and look even cheaper.
I tuned out after thirty minutes. Not recommended.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects
I can do British, French, Russian and Italian. I also can do regional American accents: New Yorker, Bostonian, Southerner, etc. Since I am from New Jersey the New Yorker accent is the easiest for me. My favorite British impression to do is Sean Connery. I can do impressions of many cartoon and children's characters, most notably Bugs Bunny and Kermit The Frog.

Before my return to class in the fall I will have other promotional work to do for WSFX. There are three commercials we will be recording. In the three I will be different characters. The first one features "Rush Limbaugh", the second "Bugs Bunny and Marvin The Martian" and the third is a Pokemon spoof and I will be voicing "Pikachu" and "Meowth".
My Training
Currently I am attending LCCC seeking a degree in Broadcasting. My voice-overs and characterizations are self taught.
My Studio Equipment
I have access to the campus recording equipment and the assistance of staff when necessary. I am still learning how to use the programs. At this time it would mostly be best if someone wanted my voice to bring me in to do the work, but I can handle it myself and submit the work as requested to the client.

Does your dog love you? Well of course he does. But how do you know? You just do, right? Well dogs have a sense about these things as well. They can tell how their owner is feeling, and they always know exactly how much you love them. They don't just feel that love, though. They give it right back in all kinds of ways. While we might "just know" that our dogs love us, here are a few ways dogs communicate that to their non-furry friends.
That puppy-dog stare? It's like a visual hug. Dogs love eye contact and love to give it.
When your dog yawns along with you, that's a connection that says, "I'm one of the family!"
If you find your dog leaning against you, think of it as a big, off-balance hug. Body contact is important for happy dogs.
A post-meal cuddle is a sure sign your dog is thrilled you came into his life.
Those eyes! Studies have shown that dogs are far more expressive, especially with their eyes and eyebrows, with people they know and love.
Watching you leave. Calmy staying put as you take off is a sign of trust and comfort from your pooch.
Not so calmly welcoming your back home let's you know just how much he missed you, and how glad he is you're back.
Sleeping in your room, whether you're there or not, is your pup showing his affinity for you.
When Fido offers you up his favorite toy, he might want to play, but it's more of a "share the wealth" type thing. Much better than the birds and mice cats offer up.
And remember, your dog needs you to show him how much you love him as much as he shows you. So find that little guy and give him a big hug.

Which SEC team is on upset alert this weekend?
Following a loss to Alabama in prime time last Saturday night, LSU has dropped out of the College Football Playoff picture and faces an uphill battle to sneak back in.
No. 9 LSU (7-1) looks to rebound from its first loss of the season this Saturday night at home against Arkansas, which has won three games in a row, including a monumental upset of Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss., last weekend.
LSU is a 7.5-point favorite against the Razorbacks, according to VegasInsider.com. But this game could wind up being closer than originally anticipated.
Here are three reasons why Arkansas could pull off the upset of LSU:
Arkansas' streaking offense
At 2-4 through the first six weeks, Arkansas' offense averaged a pedestrian 23.8 points per game.
After a bye week, the Razorbacks fired back with three consecutive games scoring at least 53 points — not surprisingly, all have resulted in wins.
Over the past three contests, Arkansas has scored a combined 170 points (56.7 points per game). The last time an Arkansas team scored 50 or more points against an SEC opponent — prior to this season — was November 2007 against LSU.
Arkansas ranks 36th in the nation in scoring offense (34.8 points per game), which is the highest among any SEC opponents LSU has faced this season. Only Western Kentucky, who LSU beat on Oct. 24, has averaged more points per game.
Winning on the road
Even during the team's struggles early in the season, winning away from Fayetteville, Ark., has not been an issue for the Razorbacks.
Arkansas is 2-1 on the road if you don't pay attention to its 0-2 mark at neutral locations. Arkansas beat Tennessee and Ole Miss on the road and lost its two games at neutral sites by a combined 11 points.
LSU is 5-0 in Death Valley this season, including its de facto home game against South Carolina, which was supposed to be played at Williams-Brice Stadium before flooding struck the Columbia, S.C., region.
However, LSU's home victories have come against teams with a combined 9-14 record on the road.
LSU's home-field advantage could truly be in jeopardy in this game.
The Brandon Allen factor
For a second consecutive week, LSU will have a disadvantage when it comes to the quarterback position.
Last week, Brandon Harris completed just 6 of 19 pass attempts for 128 yards. He was outplayed by Alabama's Jake Coker, who went 18-of-24 and helped the Crimson Tide convert 7-of-15 third downs.
Next up, the LSU defense will have to deal with Brandon Allen, who leads the SEC with a 164.7 passing efficiency and ranks eighth nationally. Allen has led Arkansas to touchdowns on 14 of the offense's last 20 drives.
The Razorbacks quarterback has completed nearly 73 percent of his passes for 825 yards and 10 touchdowns compared to zero interceptions over his last nine quarters of action. Due in part to Allen, the offense hasn't had a dreaded three-and-out in its last 23 drives.
In other words, Allen has the Hogs scoring, and scoring often. The offense has converted 53 percent (19-of-36) of its third downs over the past three games and has not turned the ball over.
Allen leads an offense unlike any that LSU has seen this season and he's playing at an exceptionally high level at this point in the season. Good quarterback play will keep any team in the game.

Ronald E. McNair Life History Center
This museum showcasing the life of astronaut and physicist Dr. Ronald McNair serves to inspire young people to explore science and reach higher.
Opened in 2011, the Ronald E. McNair Life History Center is a museum that pays tribute to the life of Dr. McNair, a Lake City-born astronaut and physicist who died in the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.
Through moving photography and artifacts, the museum tells the story of Dr. McNair from his childhood to his death. A renowned physicist who was a pioneer in the field of lasers, as well as an accomplished saxophonist, Dr. McNair from an early age showed a fascination with science and math and overcame the discrimination of the 1960s South to pursue those interests. Housed in Lake City's old public library, the museum sits next to Dr. McNair's gravesite along with a statue and square erected in his honor.
Plans are in the works to expand this life history center into a science and technology museum, dedicated to helping South Carolina students learn about space, physics, computers and other science-related topics.

Even though I live in New York City and seldom get out to our beaches (I'll miss Fort Tilden, this summer - still being repaired post-Sandy) I look forward to the days where I get to slip into my favorite swimsuit and dive head first into a pool or tiptoe into the ocean. I'm heading to the South of France, this summer, and it'll be the perfect chance to catch up on my Vitamin D and work on getting (just a little bit) of a tan. Continue....
It's been an exciting week for plus-size fashion, with the Clements Ribeiro Swan collection launching as well as the GabiFresh for S4A collection, with an already sold out and highly coveted galaxy print bikini.

Orange Elephant, Chelsea
The Vibe
This is the 'local's' end of the Fulham Road. It's peppered with excellent restaurants, gazillion pound homes, and endless beautiful people you vaguely think you met once. The new kid on the scene is Orange Elephant – a steak joint that is so beautifully designed and so wonderfully managed that you'll be putty in their hands before they even tell you about the Tomahawk steak you can opt for if you're feeling peckish.
The Order
The menu is the size of a postcard, and for good reason. Your choices are limited, in the very best of ways. Thinking is not required here – you'll simply be presented with a delicious starter salad, then the main event of a sirloin steak with chips and the signature sauce. In a real case of first world problems, your only decisions on the night will be a) Do I also want truffle mac and cheese and b) Which cocktail shall I go for?
The Game
Meet at the table. It's small and cosy and you won't feel like a fool whilst you wait. Start with cocktails and move onto a bottle of the Merlot to accompany your meat. Discuss how pleasant it is to have all choices taken out of your hands, catching their eye as you suggest the enjoyment gained from letting others take control…At which point, assertively request the bill and tell them you've got a nightcap at GOAT awaiting you.
The Faults
No veggie options. But come on….
Solid 3.

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our Gardeners' current favorites.
Corylopsis spicata is a another member of the witch hazel family. (Read more about High Line Gardeners' love of witch hazel here and here.)
Better known as spike winter hazel and native to Japan, Corylopsis spicata blooms in the late winter in the Chelsea Thicket, on the High Line between West 20th and West 21st Streets. You can't miss the plant as you pass through the space; this tall shrub is currently covered with thousands of small yellow flowers sending a distinct fragrance into the air. The petals will eventually give way to new spring foliage with a soft pink tinge as the season progresses.PLEASE BE GENTLE
Help us keep the planting beds beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Take plenty of photos, but please do not pick any of the plants or blooms.
Between West 20th and West 21st Streets

My main research interests are kittens and cookies, but nobody was offering positions in those. Instead, I now work in cognitive neuroscience, with a particular interest in attention and short-term memory.
At the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, I work with Duncan Astle to investigate resilience in children. Specifically, our team is trying to figure out what cognitive, character, and brain factors make some children flourish despite adversity. We collect data using iPad tests and neuroimaging (MEG and MRI), and leverage 'Big Data' and machine learning in an attempt to make sense of it.
In addition to my research, I have a keen interest in Open Science, and in teaching researchers how to do programming. Two highlights include PyGaze (an open-source Python library for creating experiments), and my book Python for Experimental Psychologists.
