"This is the first time for a number of years that I have used a recruitment agency and immediately contacted Andy File Associates. I knew Andy socially and professionally so I asked if he could help find the right person for an accounts assistant for my small accountancy practice. Andy introduced me to Debra, one of his associates, and she was very helpful in understanding what I was looking for and also the professional requirements for the role. This resulted in finding the right candidate in a fairly short space of time. I would not hesitate to use Andy File Associates again and would highly recommend them – quick to respond, professional and understanding"

Natalie Abel – Apprenticeship Recruitment Supervisor – Sheffield College
My experience with Andy File Associates began when I started looking for a new role within apprenticeships when I had been made redundant from my previous role. Rebecca Thomas contacted me about a temp to perm role as an Apprenticeship Recruitment Consultant at The Sheffield College which suited me down to the ground. Then I met Dan Owen to discuss the role further and worked with me on my CV. They organised an interview with the recruiting manager at within a week. During this process Dan was very professional and kept me informed at every step of the way, safe to say I was very pleased when I was offered the position.
I now have the pleasure of working with Andy File Associates as a client rather than a candidate helping to recruit the right people in to our team here at The Sheffield College. So far we have had 2 more apprenticeship recruitment consultants from them and would recommend their services to local businesses within the area.
Faye – Customer Care Agent
I uploaded my CV onto the internet when I was looking for work, I was fortunate enough to be contacted by Daniel at Andy File Associates, Daniel had found a job matching my previous experience and arranged an interview straight away, he kept in constant contact and informed me throughout the whole process.
It was the first placement I was sent for and was successful in my interview, even though I was now working, Daniel continued to stay in contact and offer help. I am happy to say this position has now become permanent.
I have to say should I ever be in the position where I need to look for employment again Andy File will be top of the list to assist me, they were professional, friendly put most important, got me a job.
Katy Edmonds – HR Manager – Independent Forgings and Alloys
"I have worked with a number of agencies in my career in HR but none have them have been able to develop the working relationship that I have with Andy File and Dan Owen. They have spent significant time understanding our business and both guys are really excellent at sourcing candidates that are suitable for our vacancies. Dan is extremely helpful and is keen to meet and screen the candidates before our initial meeting with each candidate and will go the extra mile to make sure that they are effectively set up for any meetings. His sum up of candidates is useful and honest and his ability to work as a go between for candidates is personable and professional. It is a pleasure to work with these guys and they are an integral part of our recruitment strategy. I have and will continue to recommend their service to anyone who is needing to recruit in the local area."
Tara Gough – Sales Manager at Premier Storage and Office Solutions
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Andy File Associates for many years now. We first met when I was myself looking for a new role. Dan had more than enough time to spend with me which was brilliant considering this day and age every recruiter is interviewing over Skype and email. Dan found me the perfect role and he will continue to be my first point of contact if I ever need recruiting again!
Since starting my role now over 2 years ago, I have been involved in the recruitment side of things from a hiring perspective. We didn't deal with Andy File as a company initially but they were one of the companies I wanted to use as they had been so thorough with finding me the perfect fit. We have used Andy File for recruitment ever since and they have found us some fantastic key members of staff always taking the time to come in, see us face to face and learn about which part of the business we need to expand.
Keep up the good work!
Mark Jackman – Director at MKM Building Supplies
"MKM Building Supplies was recommended to contact Andy File Associates when we needed a new member of staff to work here in branch. Andy came and met with me and the team to get the feel of the working environment. They created a accurate job specification for we were looking for. They advertised the role and shortlisted to 3 suitable candidates for us to interview. The successful candidate was offered and is working out fantastically. Since then we have used Andy File Associates again for a temporary assignment got the same great level of service. We would highly recommend Andy File Associates."
Tom Thurlow – Company Director at Ninehundred Communications Group Ltd
"Ninehundred Communications have worked in partnership with Andy File Associates Limited in relation to our recruitment requirements for the past 6 years and have previously worked with Andy for many years before that. Andy and his team have successfully placed a wide array of staff to include a Business Development Manager, CCTV and Security Installation Engineers, Accounts, HR Manager, Field Sales and Telesales. The main reason that we have continued to use Andy File Associates Ltd exclusively is the quality of the candidates, the speed they turn things around and their prices are very reasonable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andy File Associates Ltd and if you require any further information please don't hesitate to contact me."
Lawrence Della Valle – Director New Business, Professional Services at Countrywide
"Being able to attract good talent to your business is key. Yet talent without the right cultural fit can cause you just as many problems. So finding the right recruiting partner is vitally important to your business. A good recruiter is like having your own scout. I don't mean campfires and canvas tents but the professional sporting type of scout.
These are the men and women who spend long lonely hours looking for new talent and bringing them to your attention. They are out there day in day out meeting new and exciting people and assessing if they would be right for your business and then bringing them to your door.
It is all about matchmaking. So what do I look for in a recruiter? Well firstly they are not all the same. Some are genuinely happy to get you anyone just so they can fill that seat but I am looking for 'the' person not only for today but also for tomorrow. Anyone will just not do. Then, I want to know "do they get the business" and "do they understand the culture". Finally are they in it for the long term or are they just in it for today?
At Countrywide we have been dealing with Anne Braithwaite at Andy File Associates for over 10 years now and for me Anne is that professional field side scout. Anne and the team spend time making sure they understand my business and the type of person I am looking for. They meet the people I go on to hire and do all those delicate but detailed things before I need to make the final decision. In short they assess the cultural fit as well as the operational fit.
Andy & Anne have become one of the team. Our relationship has lasted the test of time and has endured many changes of leadership. What has continued is their understanding and investment in our business. They have seen our business change and know the reasons for it. They also make time to listen and are patient whilst we finally decide.
For me, Andy File Associates are those field side scouts that add value to my business & talent to my teams."
Gail Morris – Senior Manager, Conveyancing Services at Countrywide
"Andy File Associates are the perfect business partner for our recruitment needs. Anne Braithwaite has established a wonderful relationship with me, in the 12 months that we have been specifically working together. Anne is very unique with her approach to ensuring we receive exactly the right candidates. Saving us valuable time by speaking directly with candidates, calling them to run through their CV's and the job specifications and once they have been triaged by her they undertake a competency based interview before being submitted to us for consideration. She is very knowledgeable of our business having spent time personally with us to understand exactly what our requirements are and acts with the upmost of professionalism.
The end result is quality candidates come through the door and our vacancies are always filled by Anne. But, the service from Anne doesn't stop there. Anne will call us periodically to check on the recruits and ensure all is going well."
Candidate – Joanne Robinson – Private Conveyancing Property Lawyer
"Anne you were very supportive and persuasive in getting me to look at a role I wouldn't normally have done. You took the time to get to know me and to understand me as an Individual that I felt able to make the move.
Keep up the good work !"
Damien Gaunt – Managing Director, Waste Recycling and Destruction Limited
Candidate – Natalie Moore – Procurement Administrator
"Andy File Associates were recommended to me by a friend who had utilised their services before. I was unfortunate to be made redundant unexpectedly and was worried about the prospect of becoming unemployed. They arranged a meeting with me and by the end of the same week they had found me a Temporary Position with an immediate start date. I was therefore out of work for less than a week. When the position was due to end, they found me another position which began straight away. This position has since developed into a permanent job and new and exciting career. I can't thank Andy File Associates enough for their excellent service and support in helping me begin my new career – and I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking employment."
Candidate – Ian Lovelock – Sales Manager
Candidate – Alfred – Quantity Surveyor
"I have been with Andy File Associates for seven months and I am pleased with their services.
From my experience, I can firmly say they are a top notch recruitment team who value their candidate clients. I have been fortunate enough to have Anne Braithwaite as my direct point of contact. With her excellent communication skills and timely response to all queries, I have always been provided with the necessary information I have required. I am very pleased with their services and words can only say so much. So, for anyone seeking a new job opportunity, I would say Anne at Andy File Associates is the way to go."
Pauline – Practice Manager at Grainger Appleyard Solicitors
Mike Pound – Director at Qualsys Limited
We have used Andy's service regularly over the last 6 years. His team are always very professional and provide a focused service. They understand both the candidates we require and the company ethos ensuring appropriate candidates are proposed. I would recommend Andy File Associates to any prospective employer.
Sarah Beck – Business Manager at Allurban
"Having known Andy from working for him in recruitment I had no hesitation in giving him a call when I needed someone within my team. Andy found me a good selection of candidates saving me valuable time and resources. I have no hesitation in recommending Andy File Associates Ltd and hope to use their services again in the near future as the business continues to grow"
Tom Yates – Active Moulds
My experience of working with Andy File Associates has been pleasurable if I am honest the response I get from AFA staff is nothing other than brilliant they are all efficient at what they do. I would recommend Andy File Associates to any one and will always aim to use Andy File Associates for my staff requirements in the future.
Kate Levick – Business Centre Manager at Aizlewood's Mill
At Aizlewood's Mill we have excellent staff retention so don't often hire additional staff. However when we needed a handy person we turned to Andy who is a tenant within the Aizlewood's Mill. The process was quick, easy and a good price, the only problem was to select from the decent pool of candidates put in front of us. With Andy's help we made the right selection!
Candidate – Allison – Internal Communications Executive
Dear Debra,
Andy File Associates are truly first class in providing a recruitment service for candidates. The level of service given along with the support was excellent. Communication between candidate and client is efficient and effective throughout the whole process – before, during, and after interview. I fully recommend this company for all candidates seeking the next move in their career. I was initially unsure of the recruitment process but was guided throughout by a friendly, approachable member of the team – I was very impressed .
Marketing Manager – SIG plc
"Having used many recruitment agencies in the past, we were very impressed with the speed that candidates were identified and the quality of the candidates put forward, with Andy File Associates having already done a detailed filter so saving us time. So much so we have recruited one new member of staff already and are looking at another opportunity as we speak! Speedy service and great for finding the right 'fit' for our team!"
Candidate – Stuart
Hi Kelly,
I have worked with a number of agencies over the years but it has been so refreshing to work with someone who actually reads your CV and takes the time to understand a candidate's background and aspirations. You made me feel like I was the only and most important candidate you were working with, which I have not experienced with other agencies where their attitudes have leaned towards just filling positions rather than filling with the correct calibre person. My new role matches the level I was looking for with plenty of room to grow and draws on lots of my previous experience with more to be gained.
Anyway the brief version, enjoying the new challenge and don't be a stranger next time you are in London.
Thank you
Hugh Davies – Managing Director – Beta Engineering
"After an informal introduction it was refreshing to come across the approach from Andy File Associates in regards to recruitment. Our industry was new to Andy at the time, but his in depth research quickly resulted in appropriate candidates being presented and employed. On a new assignment all we now need, is a quick call to define the role and experience required, and await the candidates. I have already referred Andy to several of my colleagues and would not hesitate to do so again in the future."
Sarah Mitchell – HR Manager – Stauff
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andy and his team for their assistance with our recruitment over the past 4 years. During this time Stauff has gone through a period of growth from 90 – 140 staff and Andy and the team have been a pleasure to work with, finding the right candidates with the correct skills, ability and personality to fit."
Paul Collings – Managing Director – Timberplay
"I have used Andy for our recruitment needs over many years and have always been impressed with his service. He has a knack for understanding our requirements and provides a small number of good quality suitable candidates, thereby streamlining the recruitment process. We have no reservation in recommending him to other potential clients."

House Groups
There are things that you can do with a small group of people that you can't in a Sunday service, and for that reason we'd encourage everyone to join one of our House Groups. They meet weekly and are great opportunities to get to know a few people really well, to study the Bible and pray with them, and generally to encourage each other in living out the Christian life. We currently have two that meet on a Tuesday evening and two on a Thursday evening. For people who prefer to meet during the day rather than the evening our Wednesday Fellowship combines elements of House Group Life with some other things too. To find out more or to join a house group please get in touch with Henry.
Wednesday Fellowship
There is a meeting every Wednesday afternoon at 2:00pm in the Church Hall to which anyone is welcome to come. Twice a month the format is a very informal service (1st Wednesday of each month it is Songs of Praise, where you choose your favourite hymns, and on the 3rd Wednesday it is Holy Communion). On the other Wednesdays the format is much more like a house group where we study the Bible, pray together, and consume large quantities of cake. On the 3rd Wednesday, before the communion service, some of us meet for a game of Scrabble at 11:00am, and at 12:00pm we take orders for a takeaway lunch from a local fish and chip shop, which we share together at about 1:00pm. If you'd like to join us please just turn up!

"An overtly spicy nose of plum, violets and black currants is followed by velvety and ripe medium-bodied flavors that are underpinned by firm and ever-so-slightly rustic tannins on the complex, balanced and impressively long finish.

Everyone has a story about a perfect sign, one so poorly worded or perfectly phrased that it makes them crack up every time. This might be why the Internet is chock full of stories like these, ones that compile some of the absolute greatest signs. Whether they're on the side of a road, outside a store, in a bathroom or just in an entirely random location for no apparent reason, some signs are just too good to ignore. Below, you'll find a list of signs that are equal parts random and hilarious. Enjoy, and get ready to laugh.
1. Here's hoping whoever made this sign did so on purpose... that wouldn't be a fun fall.
2. The sign guy wants you to know...
3. How do you obey this sign?
4. This sign never learned how to swim.
5. This fella is feeling a little neglected.
6. What a nice sign.
7. Brutal, but honest.
8. Someone has spent a little too much time on social media.
9. Is the cashier a puppy? Let's hope so.
10. There's a fine line between the two, you see.
11. Wouldn't dream of it.
12. What an adorable mistake.
13. Well, he definitely gets points for honesty.
14. They don't have a lot, but they protect what they've got.
15. The rules are simple, but the stakes are high.
16. And just what are we supposed to do during this time?
17. Ask the big questions.
18. Do I have to?
19. It's a foolproof plan.
20. They're not going to sugarcoat this.
21. You're not really giving me a choice, but you're welcome.
22. If you can see the grass, you've gone too far.
23. I don't really want to know why this sign was necessary...
Well, there you have it. Sometimes, it's best to just do what the sign says. Other times, it's best to take a picture of it and let everyone else enjoy.

Holy Olate Dogs Sonoma! We are having such a blast hosting the Olate Dogs and their humans at the shelter. If you haven't had a chance to see them, please come to the children's program at the Film Festival from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday, where they will perform after their film, "Le Sauvetage."
The children's program also screens a sweet film titled, "Fortissimo" and will feature an amazing performance from Everybody is a Star led by the one and only Nicholas Olate. This show is courtesy of local producer Howard Sapper and Halo, Purely for Pets. Children under 12 are free and only $10 for adults.
I know I mentioned this in my last column, but Pets Lifeline is so grateful to Halo for their incredible donation to the shelter of 10,000 meals of Spot's Stew through FreeKibbile.com. It's gourmet dining for the cats and dogs for months. Halo has an incredible product line that is made with all natural ingredients to promote good health in cats and dogs.
We are still looking for a home for our sweet Bessie. She is the lab/boxer mix who is the mother of my dog Doc. We just don't know why she is still here. She is an absolute doll who adores all things on two legs (kangaroos are the exception). She does not do well with anything on four legs and needs to be in a home with no other animal. She is awesome with all people and kids. If you are currently petless and looking for some unconditional love to last the ages, please come meet our wonderful Bessie girl.
We also have a pretty cute little 8-week-old puppy named Bruno. A very unusual greyish/brown lab/spaniel/doodly mix with brilliant blue eyes. He will be available soon pending a health check but we will take applications if you are interested. We also just took in five very nice dogs from another shelter. Two min-pin mixes, one tan and one black and tan, and another small chi mix. There are also two beautiful medium sized dogs that are bazenji/terrier/shepherd mixes or as we like to call them American Shelter Dogs. Please come to the shelter to meet our dogs. Feel free to talk to any staff if you have any questions.
We are just waiting with kitten chow for the first of the kittens to come in. We are at an all time low and have been transferring some of our adult cats to other shelters who are also low. Could it be that all our spay/neuter efforts are working? Wow! Wouldn't that be great.
On other event fronts, please join the more than 20 nonprofit organizations of Executive Director's Round Table on April 16 at the Sonoma Valley Veterans Memorial Building from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for Volunteer Sonoma. The event is sponsored by Rabobank with generous in kind contributions from Whole Foods, the Sonoma Index-Tribune and the Sonoma Sun. The first 100 people get a free box lunch from Whole Foods.
Then, on Saturday, April 26, the Echelon Gran Fondo of Sonoma hits the Plaza. Please support yours truly's Ride For The Animals as I traverse the 40-mile ride. Go to petslifeline.org or call 996-4577, ext. 106, to make your donation today.

Probate and Estate Management
What to do when someone dies – Applying for Probate When someone dies you suddenly find yourself thrust into a world of new and unfamiliar concepts and language. This is quite apart from the emotional trauma that death can cause. The whole process can be entirely daunting or overwhelming. We have experts who understand the process, and can explain it all to you in a way that makes it easy to understand and follow. We can guide you through the maze of forms, administrative processes and tax issues. We pride ourselves in offering a professional yet completely personal service in helping with the administration of a person's estate during what sadly will often be difficult times.
The actual process for administering an estate is something we do all the time and whilst no two people's affairs are the same, they do generally follow a standard pattern:
- Finding out what money, property or other assets the person had
- Confirming what debts or liabilities the person had
- Submission of tax forms to the Inland Revenue and arranging the payment of any Inheritance Tax or income tax
- Applying for the 'grant of probate' (This is the legal document which confirms that a person has died and that the executor has the authority to deal with their assets).
- Collecting in all assets and paying all liabilities
- Preparing accounts and making final payments to the beneficiaries of the Will The specific process will depend upon whether the person who has died left a valid Will.
If the person who has died leaves a will If a person dies having made a valid Will, then they will have appointed one or more 'executors' to deal with their affairs. The executor is the person responsible for carrying out the wishes set out in the Will of the person who has died. Our expert team can advise you every step of the way on the administration of a person's estate, and in maximising its value by applying all relevant tax allowances. If the person who has died didn't leave a will – called "intestacy" If there is no will, it will be generally down to a close family member or a beneficiary of the estate to apply for a 'grant of letters of administration'. This document has the same legal effect as a Grant of Probate, authorising the Administrator to deal with the assets of the person who has died. Whilst similar steps need to be taken to those outlined above insofar as collecting in assets and paying liabilities are concerned, the distribution of money to beneficiaries is very different. Instead of there being a Will setting out what is to happen, it is necessary to follow the strict intestacy rules which set out how a person's assets should be divided. These rules can be complex and confusing, and not necessarily what you may expect, and as such you should always seek professional legal advice where a person has died without a Will. How we can help Responsibility The administration of a person's estate after they have died is a significant one. By taking on the role, the Executors/Administrators become personally liable and responsible for the administration of the estate, including ensuring that all assets are identified and collected in, that all taxes and liabilities are paid, and then correctly accounting for all payments to beneficiaries.
This is a very onerous burden on an individual, particularly if you have little or no experience of it. We have a dedicated team of expert Solicitors and lawyers who can relieve you of that responsibility, by taking on the administration of all aspects of a person's estate. Although based in our main offices in Worthing, Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton from where we provide our services, we are quite happy to visit you at home or elsewhere as necessary. We will endeavour to deal with all probate matters as quickly and efficiently as possible, as often closure in terms of your personal grieving cannot be obtained until the deceased's affairs are settled. The Human Side of being a Probate Lawyer – Grief & Personal Loss Dealing with the loss of a loved one is regarded as one of the most stressful times in a person's life, without having to worry about the taxman or other legal matters. The process of sorting out a person's affairs after they have died can be long and complicated. By putting the legal issues into the hands of our expert team, you are then able to focus on dealing with the personal issues the loss of a loved one can bring.

The Isle of Dogs (London Borough of Tower Hamlets and Middlesex sector) is a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the tidal Thames in east London and includes Cubitt Town, Poplar, Blackwall and Millwall and was once known as North Greenwich!
At one time the Isle of Dogs could be said to boast the greatest density of council housing anywhere in the country and today is still an area of social extremes with some of the country's most prosperous and deprived areas cheek by jowl; the stunning Canary Wharf complex clearly belonging to the former.
The first mention in the literature occurs in 1588 and it has been speculated that the area acquired its name on account of Henry VIII having his hunting dogs kennelled on the peninsula. Originally riverside marshland and sparsely populated before the onset of drainage and planting in the 1200s, the area itself has inspired many dark and sinister tales. In 1488, the Thames breached the river defence system (as it was) and re-flooded the area; it wasn't until the 1600's that it was eventually re-drained (by Dutch engineers) thereby allowing its 'modern' history to get underway.
Urbanisation began in the 1800's following on from the digging of the West India Docks. East India Dock opened in 1806 followed by Millwall Dock in 1868 and in 1909 the three docks were co-joined when the Port of London Authority gained charge. With these docks cutting East to West across the peninsula (with locks at each extremity) it could almost have been described as a true island.
By 1901, some 21,000 people were inhabiting the isle, all of which were very much dependent on river trade to make a living.
Come the second world war and the Isle of Dogs was clearly a high priority (for obvious reasons) on Luftwaffe target lists and, infamously, the area was massively bombed. Terribly high numbers of local people were killed and the docks were rendered completely unworkable for a lengthy period. Following the war, the docks had a brief upturn in fortunes and in 1967 even recieved an upgrade. However, the coming of containerisation in the shipping industry, which the docks were not equipped to handle, saw the area fall progressively into decline and dereliction. The economic misfortunes of the isle led to vehement expressions of anger and disillusionment by local people and events culminated bizzarely when in March 1973 the Isle of Dogs was declared an 'independent republic', even going so far as to elect its own president! The docks finally closed in 1980.
In 1981, the London Docklands Development Corporation was convened to redevelop the whole area which went on to include new housing, the Docklands Light Railway, and later on the Jubilee Line extension. Nowadays, the Isle of Dogs still retains an air of times gone by in certain areas, yet in others is highly illustrative of a progressive 21st century city. As such it has never lost its reputation as an area of stark contrasts.
A Ring-billed Gull wintered regularly on the Thames foreshore at Saunders Ness until 2009. Mediterranean and Yellow-legged Gulls are fairly regular here and rarer sightings include Iceland Gull, Little Gull and Kittiwake. Low tide is best. Nearby areas such as the docks, East India Dock Basin and the Mudchute Farm area are all worth checking.

Writings of Albert Morris
82 - Bucket-and-spade Hulot-holiday days in Spain
WHEN I was a little lad, with a
heigh-ho, the school-belt and the pain, one of my playground peer group
closely scrutinised my six Miracles of Seashore Life cigarette cards and
gave me, in generous exchange, one small, silken sample from the Flags of
the Nations' series produced by the firm of Kensitas that showed, in
chromatic glory, the banner of Spain.
How superior it was compared
with cards showing glossy-haired, fixed-grin features of famous
footballers, languid-looking cricketers, and, when war loomed, air-raid
precautions, including one of a refined-looking female, genteelly dousing
an incendiary bomb with a stirrup-pump as if pouring afternoon tea.
The flag was
the fabric to arouse the imagination. For receptive minds, its colours
could have evoked a land of bullfighting blood and sand, haughty hidalgos,
remote and ineffectual dons, colour-riotous sunsets, flouncing flamenco
skirts, clicking castanets and photogenic fishermen with lined faces
resembling aerial views of the Sierra Nevada.
At eight, my mind was not up to
that but, as the school echoed to the classroom Buddhist-type chants of
multiplication tables, the sharp, chameleon-tongued strike of the
Lochgelly tawse and sounds of a piano accompanying a ragged chorus of Hey,
Johnny Cope, Are Ye Waukin' Yet?, I sensed that Spain, sun-bright and hot
and undoubtedly bothered - it was having a civil war - was somewhere I
would get to on holiday, perhaps in a less serious chapter of the story of
my life.
HOLIDAYS in Britain in the late 1940s and 50s could
be character-forming ordeals. While the sand in the sandwiches was always
rare and crisp and the sun, although sometimes pale and watery, often
shone, many days were battleship-grey and North Sea bathing was a
teeth-chattering, goose-pimpling experience followed, in my childhood, by
a parental, brisk, sand-flecked towelling.
Then, in 1954, just before the
great, package-holidays' upsurge, resembling Dark Ages' race migrations, I
and a colleague spent a fortnight in Tossa de Mar, then a small cobble-streeted,
unspoilt resort on the Costa Brava.
It was like emerging from a
railway tunnel into daylight of azure skies, warm seas, soft, silken winds
and a large beach, albeit pebbly, that was daily occupied by little more
than 100 sun-soakers.
The atmosphere resembled that of the Brittany
seaside resort in Jacques Tati's 1952 film, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, in
which life moved like a sun-drugged saraband.
Inert and eyes-closed on the
warm beach, one could hear distant snatches of damp, salty dialogue, the
soft susurrus of the waves, the occasional joyful, spasmodic cries of
bathers and an inner voice emphasising that there was a holiday life
beyond even the many excellent resorts around Britain's stern and
rockbound coast.
OUR hotel was small but comfortable and the guests,
mainly British and middle-aged, showed no desire to dance until dawn or,
in a fit of madcap gaiety, fling chairs into the swimming pool (the hotel
had none) or otherwise behave in a riotous manner as has happened in some
Iberian hotels where I have stayed. All was placid and restful, a world
away from the Mediterranean's concrete and glass, over-developed
coastlines that we see today.
I revisited Tossa for a day in
1975 and saw it, like nearby resorts, changed utterly to meet the mass
tourist migrations, its littoral lined with multi-storey flats and hotels
and, on its beach, a sun-lotioned mass of humanity, simmering in a
semi-nude Nirvana. The effect was, you could say, tatty.
Now, such
so-called British bucket-and-spade resorts are considered outdated by
First Choice, a main British tourist operator, which, alleging that the
Costa Brava fails to provide extra activities for more sophisticated
customers, has dropped it from its summer brochure. Other operators could
I regret any dimming of the tourist sun beaming down
on Tossa, a resort, like other sea-and-sand enclaves that has experienced
the mixed blessings of package holidays - increasing prosperity along with
the tag, "We came, we saw, we spoiled everything."
While my
Hulot-type holiday has vanished, engulfed by touristic waves, my interest
in the cultural, architectural, historical and scenic treasures of Spain
is, thanks to its start from that tiny strip of coloured silk, unflagging.

She captured my heart as soon as I started to watch her Mayesh Design Star contest video intro and she did it again upon meeting many of my team members when she arrived in Los Angeles last week to begin filming our 2012 video series. She is THE Mandy Majerik, Mayesh's 2012 Design Star! Before debuting our new and exciting video series next week, we wanted to take a moment to formally introduce Mandy to the rest of the world. Please read on and be sure to stay tuned next week!!
Connect with Mandy Majerik, AIFD, PFCI:
When did you realize this was the career for you?
I began this floral journey at a very early age – growing up with a Grandmother who owned a florist. In my elementary school days, there were many occasions she would find me taking naps in flower boxes. Flowers have always been in my life and upon receiving my degree in interior design, I decided to take over the family floral business with a fresh approach to wedding and event design. After the first few years, I began to really see just how broad the floral industry was – I knew there was a great future for me in this beautiful world full of flowers. I knew then, I would have to take risks and dream big – and well, here I am – the MAYESH DESIGN STAR.

How did you start your business?
I was very blessed to have inherited a very solid customer base from my mother's everyday floral business. All the while serving these customers, I began to focus on emerging into the world of weddings and letting my name and my studio become known as the cutting edge, new-age attraction for brides and corporate clients. I wanted to offer my Birmingham clients a style that hadn't been seen and of course, being different – makes people notice and start talking. All in all, I listened a lot when I started. I listened to business owners, I listened to designers, I listened to magazine editors – I listened to see what they had learned and their forecasts for the future – I wanted to make sure I would be a part of it.

How would you describe your design style?
Stylish. Southern. Sophisticated. My challenge is to always incorporate the unexpected – whether it be a unique awesome blossom or a simple natural element or a button or tiny tidbit of inspiration – I always give my client something to talk about.
What or who inspires you?
This is always the magic question. Inspiration is everywhere – you just have to take time to see it. Whether it is the unique line of a crack in the sidewalk or a Chinese fortune cookie from dinner – I find in the most unusual places. As far as people go, so many designers to name. I learn something from international designers as well as the designer that looks back at me from across the work table. Everyone/Everything has inspiration to give.

I loved your red tool box. What floral tool can you not live without?
Well, a girl can keep a lot of tools in a red tool box! There are the necessities of floral life, including clippers, scissors, knives – but one of the most recent additions to my traveling toolbox would be UGlu Dashes. Those little squares could do everything from hold my cell phone onto my dash board to keeping Donald Trump in tact. The reason I love them – they are quick and easy. So.many.uses.
If had to pick just one (I know it is nearly impossible) what would be your favorite flower and why?
Always the ultimate question for a flower lover…. I would have to say as a designer, I have a love affair with calla lilies. I love their sleek, slender shape and the way they lend themselves to being manipulated. They can have beautiful curves and come in amazing colors. Now, ask me this question next week, and see what I have to say.

Tell us a short floral story. Have you ever had a strange floral request? Created something wonderful out of a sticky situation? Have you ever felt like MacGyver and used your mad floral skills in a non-floral situation?
When you have done as many weddings/events as I have, there are many stories to choose from! I would have to say, I once arrived to decorate a pergola (that was already supposed to be constructed) with flowers and when I came to the site – no pergola. I quickly had to rely on my available, within a one block radius-in the middle of a wine vineyard, resources to find something to use as a wedding backdrop. I found an old wooden picnic table and stood it up on its side to provide a unique backdrop for the couple's vows. I adorned it with a moss letter and branches curved over the sides to create some interesting movement and a little camouflage! It was perfect for the wine vineyard and well, you can just call me MacGyver Majerik.
What is your favorite color combination right now?
I tend to love to use shades, tints and tones of the same color family. I am very attracted to the Juliet garden rose – peach – mixed with the soft, sensual texture of lamb's ear, that soft silvery, green.

What is your best piece of advice for new comers into the floral industry?
Listen.Listen.Listen. The best way to learn is to listen to those who have come before you and learn from their journeys, their mistakes, their miracles…then make sure you make your adventure just as interesting. Take chances, compete in contests, let your voice be heard and your talent be seen. You never know who might be looking your way.

Our current gas central heating is an old one pipe system which is very inefficient and needs replacing. We are considering having electric underfloor heating mats with individual room contols installed in the whole of the ground floor. Upstairs we are thinking of having a two pipe gas central heating sytem to heat the rooms, with a new boiler being sited in the loft. The pipes for the heating will drop down through the ceilings from the loft into each room. The ground floor is concrete. We are really keen on underfloor heating, especially as it will do away with the radiators and all the exposed pipework that we currently have.It also seems as though it will cause less disruption than installing a complete new GCH system as we have already done a lot of work in the upstairs rooms. Does this sound like a good idea? Would it be an unusual way of heating a home? The other alternative is to have the electric underfloor heating downstairs and install electric radiators unpstairs. I would be really grateful for your thoughts, advice and comments. Many thanks, Ruth.
Retrofit electric UFH downstairs with gas CH upstairs
Hi Ruth,
If it was me, I'd opt for wet UFH downstairs, then radiators on the first floor. All run from the boiler. What's swaying you more towards the electric underfloor system for downstairs?

A variant of the Alina malware family that first appeared in late 2013 and has been observed in the wild as recently as last month, also shares traits with JackPOS but exhibits some distinct "behavioral differences" from those versions, according to researchers at Trustwave's SpiderLabs.
Dubbed Spark by Trustwave security researcher Eric Merritt, the variant is unique in the way several samples are "embedded in a compiled AutoIt script, which then loads the malware into memory," he wrote in a Thursday blog post.
"The script has a binary in a variable that is loaded into dynamic memory and fixes up all the addresses required for execution," Merritt wrote. "Like all such loaders, the binary is initially obfuscated artifacts such as strings and import tables from the malicious binary."
While the Trustwave researcher told SCMagazine.com in a Thursday email correspondence that AutoIt, a freeware scripting language that resembles BASIC and is geared for both automating the Windows GUI as well as general scripting, "has been used for malware in the past in a very simple, unsophisticated manner," the way Spark uses AutoIt "to perform memory loading is a much more difficult process."
Since the loader is modular, it "can be used with any malware it wants with a simple copy and paste," he said. "Attackers can easily alter the malware's file signature to avoid AV detection."
Ultimately, the technique "makes it simple to quickly deploy different malware with different signatures," said Merritt.
Spark also differs from Alina in Startup and in the way that it uses black lists. While the newer variant uses the same black list employed by Alina for processes "not scraped for CC data" it adds more applications, Merritt wrote.
The final two differences in this variant have to do with communication with the C&C server. Where previous versions used "Alina vx.x" as the User-Agent, Spark now uses "something that is supposed to look legitimate," Merritt wrote.
While "the POST data communication with the C&C server retains the same structure as Alina from v5.2 on, however, Spark chose to reverse the order of the XOR scheme used," the blog said.

If you couldn't tell there was a different breed of people in our city last week, just consider the line my friend Kimiko heard from a racing fan during the Speed Street festivities. After telling her she was the prettiest girl of all time, the guy added a little get-to-know-you question: "Who's your favorite number?"
She considered telling him her lucky number was 14, but the man had asked "who?"
Then she noticed the man was wearing a huge number eight on his shirt and realized he was asking for her favorite race car driver. She told him she didn't follow NASCAR, and shortly afterwards he asked her if she would be his baby's mama. Kimi, aka the Heartbreaker, politely declined.
Creative Loafing decided to get to know some of Charlotte's visitors during Speed Street this year by setting up a confessional booth, which we called an "Asphalt Confessional," for people to pop in and share their stories. Of the 250 confessions we recorded, here are some highlights.
The best introduction to a confession: "Several of the things I would like to confess to involve perversion, debauchery and just plain sex."
Actually, most of the confessions could have begun that way. Take this one:
"I'm running 33, 34 years old. Hell, when I was 18 one time, there was this big ole girl. I was at this country party back in the woods. She was one of them butterfaces ... What ended up happening was, she caught me in the crowd and she called me out on being danggone small -- having a small pecker and everything. But she did label me as a grower. She was about 350 pounds."
Or this one:
"Last night, I had too many beers. I kind of blacked out and everything. I woke up this morning in a hotel with a girl I didn't know. She wasn't really very pretty. Or very skinny. She looked like James Dean on drugs, and overweight."
In NASCARspeak, "messin' around" can mean tinkering with cars, bikes, humans or in one woman's story, more than one of the above:
"Me and my brothers were outside and so were my neighbors. We were just messin' around, we were riding trick bikes and going up ramps. Then my neighbor realized I had a tongue ring, so I guess he wanted to know what it was used for ..." (The story gets too graphic for print after that, but basically she shows her neighbor what the tongue ring is used for, despite being best friends with the man's wife.)
Then there were the driver-related stories. In the course of 20 minutes, two people recounted unrelated Rusty Wallace tales. One lady said Rusty was her favorite driver because he paid a NASCAR fine in pennies just like she did when she got a traffic violation. Another lady said she dropped a camera on Rusty's head; five years later he still recognized her. There were also quite a few automotive tales, including one that ended up with 15 jeeps stuck in mud.
Several people used the booth to confess things that would be more appropriate in a therapy session:
"I've been here struggling with myself. I'm a recovering addict. Almost 10 months ago, I met a nice lady. She helped me get sober and clean, even though we went through some bad times. As of last Saturday she left me abandoned. Pretty much left me on the street with no money, and no love and support. I've been almost attempting suicide the last several days."
And, of course, there were the crazies:
"It's not a story, but let me tell you about the demise of social order as we know it. The correct door is the door on the right. Here in Charlotte, every door you enter is the left door. CVS has actually locked the right door, forcing people to go through the left door, going against all social order. It started here. I've been looking around. Atlanta is doing the same thing. It's a left-door conspiracy."
On Sunday night, I had infield passes for the race. The best place to watch in the infield is on platforms built on the tops of campers, trucks and buses. But even there, you could only see a tiny section of the track, which is why many people had TVs to watch the race on while they were watching the race. For those not interested in the race, cruising down the infield road on Razor scooters was a popular activity, as was throwing glass bottles off the platforms to shatter by innocent spectators.
Many of the 200,000 race fans looked as if they were pretending to be in the pit crew. Wearing racing headphones they purchased outside the speedway, fans could pick up the frequencies the pit crews and drivers communicated on. With all the noise from the cars, races are quite antisocial. The grandstand fans were like zombies, staring ahead at the track without making an attempt to interact with the people around them.
To make watching the sport in which cars drive in a circle a little less mundane, it's fun to pick your favorite number and root for him. I chose number 12, Ryan Newman, because when the other 40 cars were all bunched together, 12 was adorably a quarter lap behind the pack -- like the ugly duckling working so hard to catch up to his brothers. My friend picked number 29, Kevin Harvick, because of his sponsor: Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. At the end of the race, when winner Kasey Kahne was shown celebrating on the jumbotron, splashing milk like the dairy hater he is, we imagined the camera panning over to Kevin crying over his 34th place finish and stuffing his face with consolatory chocolates.
Another car of note was Bobby Labontie's Gogurt car, number 43. The Gogurt car sparked a debate between my friend and me on whether or not it would be enjoyable to take a bath in Gogurt. My friend was anti-Gogurt bath, on the grounds of gooeyness. Arguing the opposite, I offered a point of information that berries are fragrant and therefore conducive to cleanliness.
A NASCAR race is a spectacle everyone should see at least once. If you've never gone before, don't make the mistake I did. Unlike at football or basketball games, bringing your own booze to auto racing is pretty much a requirement not an option.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and China continue to escalate, accentuating disagreements on economic policy and fueling competition over emerging technologies.
Since its unveiling in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has developed into a sweeping global project with profound implications for the international financial system, China's own growth model, and governance in China and in countries along the Belt.
It is Trump administration policies and attitudes that have provided China a rhetorical opening in Latin America at a time when China's economic and political relations with the region face serious challenges.
Four years after recording the first episode of the podcast, U.S. former national security advisor Stephen Hadley joined Paul Haenle again on the 100th episode to discuss how U.S. foreign policy has adapted to new realities in the bilateral relationship amidst a shifting global order.
President Trump's policies have called into question the United States' role in the world while China's economic and political clout grows. What is the future of the U.S.-led order and the implications of a rising China?
Transformations brought about by automation, technology, and artificial intelligence are one of the defining issues of the 21st century. How can China and the United States cooperate on these and other commerce issues?
While China and other significant countries already treat economic power as a core part of their statecraft, there is a disconnect in U.S. grand strategy in linking foreign policy with national economic policies.
As the Belt and Road Initiative moves forward, countries and local communities more directly in the initiative's path could learn from Latin American countries' labor practices.
Before experts can understand China's growing role in global development finance, and its impact on development outcomes more generally, they must decide on the meaning and content of development itself.
Setting aside the shortcomings of the Belt and Road concept, the "OBOR hype' around the world points to a real and fundamental trend — the ascent of China as a truly global economic and military power.
Chinese businesses, both privately owned and state-controlled, must compete in an increasingly integrated world market which is firmly dominated by powerful global companies from the West. The expansion of multinationals in China is hindered not only by state control but also by the opacity of the economic system that is undergoing radical changes.
The Global Business and Economics program examines actual business transactions that span across national borders and institutional boundaries, identifies emerging patterns in the dynamic world market of which China is an integral part, and seeks intellectual breakthroughs for shaping corporate strategies, national policies, and global initiatives.

The general idea for this protocol is based on a novel mechanism for the selective production of Nitric oxide from nitrite, using human hemoglobin as nitrate reductase. This reaction is favored in tissues with low oxygen tension and low pH, such as the environment most likely to occur at leg ulcer sites. This is an open label, Phase I study of topical sodium nitrite for subjects with leg ulcers, of more than 4 weeks duration, who have sickle cell disease or other hemolytic disorders. Twelve subjects with homozygous sickle cell disease (HbSS), sickle-thalassemia (Hb S- thalassemia) or HbSC, HBSD or other hemoglobinopathies or hemolytic disorders will be enrolled at the NIH Clinical Center. Four cohorts of subjects, with three subjects at each dose level, have been treated with escalating doses of topical sodium nitrite cream twice a week based on the modified Fibonacci schema. For dose levels 1 - 4, subjects will have 0.1 cm of sodium nitrite cream applied per 1 square cm of the ulcer. All subjects receive topical application of the drug twice a week for four weeks total. Three subjects are treated at each dose level. The subjects are evaluated at the Clinical Center to determine eligibility, obtain informed consent, detailed medical history and physical examination. A plain x-ray of the leg(s) involved is performed to rule out underlying osteomyelitis, which represents an exclusion criterion. Doppler ultrasound of the leg(s) is performed to assess the presence of venous insufficiency and/or thrombosis. Subjects have a detailed wound assessment performed by the wound ostomy continence nurse service (WOCN) to include a wound culture. A seven-day pain inventory tool and a quality of life assessment is completed prior to initiating therapy. Routine laboratory studies are obtained along with additional research laboratory tests at baseline and at specified times during the study. The subjects are then be scheduled for a 4-5-day inpatient hospitalization, in order to allow for extensive additional studies, and pharmacokinetics of nitric oxide, sodium nitrite and methemoglobin. The hospitalization facilitates close monitoring for safety of administration of sodium nitrite cream and the occurrence of side effects. While in the hospital, all subjects have the following baseline tests: laboratory assessments, measurement of the ulcers size, and a non-contrast MRI. Subjects then undergo infrared photography in order to measure the perimeter of the ulcers and to identify surface blood vessels that will guide the placement of wireless thermo-patches. Infrared and laser perfusion imaging are repeated throughout the study at defined time points. In order to assess histopathological changes in the skin of individuals who have sickle cell disease or other hemolytic disorders, one punch biopsy is performed in consenting subjects who have more than one leg ulcer and it is on the opposite leg as an optional part of their evaluation. If a subject declines participation in the biopsy portion of the study, he/she is not excluded from participation in the other portions of the study. The primary expected toxicity during this portion of the study, is low grade, asymptomatic methemoglobinemia, therefore, blood is tested for methemoglobin at each visit. At the completion of the 4 weeks of therapy, baseline studies are repeated on an outpatient basis. To date we have completed all 12 subjects in this study. No subject has suffered serious complications from the application of the cream and we have not observed dose-limiting methemoglobinemia. The cream seems to be well tolerated at each of the strengths used so far. On the basis of these results, the study has been extended to add six more patients to study more detailed dosing characteristics. The ulcer decreased in size in many patients, with an improvement of the wound characteristics, but the evaluation of response to therapy was a secondary goal and will be assessed when all subjects have completed the study.

A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty. ~ John Grogan, Marley and Me

How to Get Free Envelopes
If you've ever bought envelopes in college, you know how stupid it feels. You use about two per year. Why buy a box of 40 for way too much money from the bookstore?
Instead, plan ahead by saving the envelopes included with your bills that you'd usually discard. Everything from your student account bills to junk mail will provide you with a blank envelope and most just have windows — no address or anything. They're good as new. You're probably not using them, especially if you pay bills online.
Plus, the whole process is also a great testament to reuse. You might be wasting paper by opting out of an electronic bill — according to your bank's incessant notifications — but at least you're putting their envelopes to good use. Now that's what I call PUSHING THE ENVELOPE. HA!

I was starting to think this whole cicada thing was just a big hoax until this weekend. I still think it's a hoax, just not such a big one.
If you don't know the story, this is the year that the Chicagoland area is going to experience a cicada invasion of biblical proportions. These are the cicadas that live underground for 17 years and then come out, have sex and die. They leave their nasty brown shells all over the place, then fly up in the trees, make a lot of noise and just cause chaos in general.
The newspapers and T.V. have been all over the story; it's getting almost as much coverage as Lindsay Lohan going to jail. They all agreed that May 22 was going to be the big day; the cicadas were going to emerge from the dirt and have their way with our beautiful suburban ecosystem. Well, May 22 came and went, and I didn't see one stupid cicada. I got all riled up for nothing. I'm not sure whose fault it was really; do the news people have no idea what they're talking about (likely), or are the cicadas just taking their sweet time? As time passed I started hearing a few stories of cicada sightings, but nothing monumental and all rather disappointing.
Finally, on Friday night, I saw my first live cicada during a bonfire in a friend's backyard. It was crawling up a little tree stump. I made the mistake of calling attention to it which set the guys off into a frenzy of cicada hunting in the backyard. They found maybe 8. I was led to believe we'd be scraping them off the sides of the trees, hundreds at a time. On Sunday, we saw approximately 10 cicada skins and a whopping one alive cicada near my mom's. She was rather excited and got some "amazing footage" with her video camera. Then I drove through Westmont which for some reason does seem to be ridden with them. The noise was quite impressive, but I'm not satisfied with the fact that downtown Westmont is the only place they seem to be. Where is the invasion I was promised??
So far the press is rather slow to admit what a huge disappointment this is. Probably because they're the ones that made it such a big deal in the first place and Lord knows they're not going to admit they may have exaggerated just a bit. I've only found one legitimate article (if an article from a DeKalb newspaper can be called legitimate) admitting that the "invasion" is not all it was cracked up to be.
Meanwhile, the Brookfield Zoo got their hands on some cicadas and is now feeding them to the animals. They're also providing video to make sure we are sufficiently grossed out.

Boards of Canada – Geogaddi
Rarely does one scope around a bin of cheap CDs and find one that is actually on one's want list. Boards of Canada's "Geogaddi" had been a target of mine ever since it had been named one of the better CDs of the last decade. I had read articles referencing it and heard a few people speaking high praise for it. There was no way it was going to sit there collecting dust.
Boards of Canada are a Scottish duo with guys named Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. They've only put out three full records, including this one, but their adeptness at sweeping, soothing compositions is quite impressive. "Geogaddi", when listened from beginning to end, might send you into a state of rolling your eyes into your head. Disclaimer: If you listen to this record based on my review, I am in no way responsible for if your eyes do not roll back to their usual forward position. Instead, please accept my apologies for the likelihood that you now resemble a zombie.
The record consists of the interweaving of transitional tracks (a minute or so) and longer players. Most of the shorter tunes are curious blips, though the pretty tones used in "Dandelion" and "In the Annexe" could have used a few more minutes. Given that a few of the lengthier tracks have no problem with being repetitive, it's curious as to the reasons why the duo cut these two tracks short. Maybe I'll have to go read around somewhere. I did have to go look up the situation with "Magic Window" and its nearly two minutes of silence. Was this a message from the band that the best calming sound is silence? Or is there an importance to the album run time of 1:05:54? Ah, who knows. I'm just a writer.
I am glad that when Boards of Canada go long, they go for about four minutes or more. "Alpha and Omega" uses the same notes progression for most of its seven minutes, but the infusing of dark static, vocal utterances, and fades makes the whole thing a mesmerizing experience. One could very easily put one's head back in a chair and phaaaase ooooutt. "Sunshine Recorder" sounds like something Rjd2 might appreciate due its introduction that includes a sort of smeared electronic note and an active drum beat. Like "Alpha and Omega", it is a fine tune to listen to when calming down is necessary. A song that feels like it is twice its three minute length, "Corsair" just makes one feel lobotomized. It's just so serene.
After listening to the whole disc a few times, my favorite track is one of the earliest. "Music is Math" is not only a true statement in my mind, but it also epitomizes the beauty that Boards of Canada are capable of constructing. The light, warm tones float above each other while an unobtrusive back beat provides harder texture just works so well. Regardless of what I think about the rest of the album's enjoyment level, this song makes it all worth it for me.
Boards of Canada have the requisite website to seek various information, but I recommend the group's Youtube channel for listening.
As time has gone on, I have grown a deeper appreciation for electronic music. The boom and crash that is rock n roll is still a great thing to have at the ready, but sometimes one just needs to concentrate or cut back on the distraction of vocals. Boards of Canada excel in this type of electronica and will always be worth listening to when they put out new material. The duo's last record, "The Campfire Headphase", came out in 2005 and though six years is about the maximum line where a band is either about to put out a new one, I'm worried. The News section of their website hasn't been updated since 2006! Uh oh.
It's possible that Sandison and Eoin are working on side projects, family, etc. Until an official announcement of the band's existence comes out, people should go out and listen to some Boards of Canada.
Stereolab – Dots and Loops
Elektra Records, 1997
Alright, alright I'm cheating. This blog is dedicated to discs that I find (and usually buy) in dollar bins and I usually prefer to write about the more obscure and random stuff. However, I can't resist writing about a disc I found from an artist I've always enjoyed and really didn't take too much of a risk on picking up. Stereolab has been a long-term casual favorite of mine, which means they're a group that I enjoy listening to but I don't tend to seek them out. Part of that has to do with the fact that I'm not one to listen to jazzy pop music all that often (which I should probably reconsider). The other part is exactly what might be considered a fault with this record.
Stereolab are very predictable. Aside from a few tracks here and there, for the most part, you know what you are getting with a Stereolab album. Warm, comforting swirls of keyboard and guitar compositions draped with the pleasantly smooth vocals of Laetitia Sadler and the effective backup additions of the late Mary Hansen. Every song is very full and animated, yet subtle and unimposing as you get swept up with the complexity of the pop rhythms. I am speaking about pretty much every Stereolab record they've produced that I've come across, and though it doesn't help much to discern whether this record is better than any others, I have to say that I couldn't find a true dud anywhere within these ten tracks. The group will slow things down, or they'll add a peculiar effect in once in awhile, but it's nothing that would make most want to skip ahead. I still like "Miss Modular" very much, which is likely due to its over-familiarity as the Stereolab song even if it is consistent with much of Stereolab's other output. However, if you haven't heard it yet then you must do so now.
This is why I don't write reviews on bands whose material I feel that I know rather well. I will just sit here and glow about them without commenting on how repetitive they might sound or that they could be losing a little interest with age. They are not on everyone's list of favorite or enjoyable bands, yet I think Stereolab can't foul up too much on anything they put out. Even their more recent records of "Chemical Chords" and "Fab Four Suture" still have the fine Stereolab grooves that most have come to know them for. I don't think you will find many Stereolab records in dollar bins, but if you do, pick it up and make sure it finds a good set of ears to listen to it. Stereolab is a wonderful band.

The Health Professions Seminar was implemented in the Fall of 2015 to give Loyola Pre-Health/Pre-Med students a chance to learn more about the wide variety of Health Care careers they can devote their lives to. Developed as a hybrid seminar and online course, students attend University and department sponsored events in which visiting speakers discuss Health Care disciplines and Graduate level programs. The students then submit reflection papers reviewing the message they took away from the speaker's visit. The course also begins the students journey on the path to their application process, by requiring that they prepare a personal statement which describes why they want to enter one of the many fields of Health Care.
This course is .5 credit hours.
It can be found on LORA under SPST-A115-001 (special studies) call # 11273.
