You're looking for a new pair of sunglasses, and you want that classic look. But here's where the dilemma begins. The two most well-known vintage-style sunglasses are the Ray Ban Wayfarer and Aviator – and they're both just that – too well known.
They're classics, but if everyone from your dad to the hipster kid on the bus is wearing them, you might want to find something a little more unique. There are plenty ofstyles out there with the retro revival going on, but if you're looking for something a little different, it's difficult to know what to go for.
So, here's our pick of the five best vintage sunglasses that aren't Wayfarers or Aviators.
1. Ray Ban Clubmaster
These are the famous browline-style glasses that have been popular since the 50s, as they can give anyone that effortlessly cool Rockabilly look. Half of all glasses sold in the 50s were in this style, and they're gaining popularity once again, as Ray Ban have put a modern spin on this vintage classic.
It's a look the A-List love, and both Beyonce and Robert Pattinson have been seen sporting them recently. The Clubmaster's design blends a metal nosepiece into the browline, and the collection includes a good range of colours in bothplastic and metal rims.
Arguably, the most stylish pair in the Clubmaster collection are the gold and tortoiseshell sunglasses, which are available here.
2. Carrera Champion
Carrera Champion sunglasses optimise that classic 80s on-piste/off-piste look. However, they look fabulous whether you're on the slopes, relaxing in the VIP section of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or sunbathing in your garden.
The Carrera Champion collection includes plastic frames in a huge amount of colourways – everything from black/red to violet/white to tortoiseshell. So if you want frames with that 80s retro edge, these are a cut above everything else on the market in both look and quality.
Carrera use Optyl plastic to make their frames, making them anallergic and lightweight with a memory-effect for comfort. If you're looking for a pair of Carrera Champion sunglasses at a bargain price, check out our collection now.
3. Ray Ban Round Metal
You know that 'John Lennon look', with the round, metal framed glasses that are once again gaining popularity? Well, these are the sunglasses that create that look.
Lady Gaga and fahionista Mary-Kate Olsen have both been pictured in them recently, but this vintage-chic look is great on anyone – if you're willing to make a statement. Ray Ban Round Metal sunglasses come with a good selection of fames and lenses, so you can go Lennon with gold frames and green lenses, or Gaga with matt black frames and grey lenses.
Check out our collection of cheap Ray-Ban Round Metal sunglasses by clicking here now.
4. Armarni EA 9703/S
This Armarni number epitomises that Jackie O look –big, bold and beautiful. Popular since the 60s, largeplastic-framed sunglasses are favourites with the A-List today, and the 9703/S range exude glamour. The wide, round frames and dark lenses are also perfect for blocking out the glare of the paparazzi's cameras (or, y'know, the sun), and the straight arms have a strong, powerful air to them.
To check out our collection of cheapEmporio Armani sunglasses in a wide range of colours, click here now.
5. CarreraGrand Prix 1
These glasses embody sports-chic, but with a powerful twist. They're a blend of the classic Carrera Champion glasses and the aviator style, producing a sleek metal frame, with a strong browline and slightly larger lenses than you'll find with the classic Ray Ban Aviator. Consequently, Carrera 1 sunglasses are flattering for virtually every face.
If you like the sound of Carrera Grand Prix 1 sunglasses, you can grab a pair at a bargain price by clicking here.
So there you have it. Five vintage sunglasses that are just a little bit out of the ordinary – perfect for making a statement, orif you're looking for a classic pair of frames that will last as long as you do.

This kit provides you with a J hook stem in the popular Sherlock shape, a Lotus vapor cap, a water pipe adapter, and a torch lighter. Put them together and you have a clear-stemmed vaporizer. If you want, use only the vapor cap and water pipe adapter to convert your 14 mm water pipe into a vaporizer. All this at a price below our standard aluminum stemmed Lotus pipe and way below our standard combination Lotus pipe/WPA adapter kit.
The Lotus J-hook kit includes:
Vapor Cap
A maple vapor cap which attaches magnetically to the water pipe adapter. The vapor cap is easily removed and completely separates the vaporizing air from any butane fumes. More details A stir stick is bonded to the cap for convenience in mixing the bowl contents.
Three vapor cap options are available; Herbal, Original and Black.
The Herbal and Original vapor caps are both for flowers. The Herbal cap heats faster, cleans easier
and has a shorter learning curve than our original vapor cap.
The Black cap is both for flowers and high temperature or concentrate use. More details
The hot plate of the Black Cap is not warrantied due to its expected operating conditions.
14 mm J-hook by Grav Labs. (The J-hook does not fit into our carry bags.)
Single Flame Torch
Two torch options are available
The Honest torch is our most economical single flame torch. Not the prettiest torch but one of the most rugged.
The Jobon torch is our new standard torch. It's the same size as the Honest torch but with a larger tank,
larger flame and a flame lock (and a lot more style).
Torches are shipped without fuel. Use 3X or 5X filtered butane for longevity.
A 1/2" to 5/8" torch flame length is key to the operation of the Lotus.
14mm Water Pipe Adapter More details
One year warranty on the hot plate of the model 226 vapor cap.
90 day warranty on the hot plate of the model 234 vapor cap (Black cap).
Three year warranty on the rest of the vapor cap and the Lotus stem.
60 warranty on the torch.
We do not warranty any glass items.

Linspire rises from the dead (in name only) [3]
Linspire is a Linux distribution that's designed to be easy for Windows users to learn. In fact, the original developers used to call the operating system Lindows, before changing the name.
Lindows rises from the grave! Freespire 3.0 and Linspire 7.0 Linux distros now available [4]
About 16 years ago, a for-pay Linux distribution caused quite a stir all because of its name -- Lindows. Yes, someone actually thought kicking the billion dollar hornets nest that is Microsoft by playing off of the "Windows" name was a good idea. To be honest, from a marketing perspective, it was brilliant -- it got tons of free press. Microsoft eventually killed the Lindows name by use of money and the legal system, however. Ultimately, the Linux distro was renamed "Linspire." Comically, there was a Lindows Insiders program way before Windows Insiders!
After losing the Lindows name, the operating system largely fell out of the spotlight, and its 15 minutes of fame ended. After all, without the gimmicky name, it was hard to compete with free Linux distros. Not to mention, Richard Stallman famously denounced the OS for its non-free ways. The company eventually created a free version of its OS called Freespire, but by 2008, both projects were shut down by its then-owner, Xandros. Today, however, a new Linspire owner emerges -- PC/OpenSystems LLC. And yes, Lindows is rising from the grave -- as Freespire 3.0 and Linspire 7.0!

Things to do in September
September is for fresh starts and new beginnings. It's time to head back to school and welcome the university freshers to our great city, time to enjoy the last of the balmy summer evenings and get ready to embrace the cosiness of Autumn. Whether you're arriving in Bath for the first time, or returning for the beginning of term, there is plenty happening in the city to help welcome in the new season. We have put together a list of some of top things to do in Bath this September. Enjoy!
From 8th to 17th September 2017
To celebrate the 200th anniversary since Jane Austen's death, the Jane Austen Festival is set to be bigger and better than before. From 8th September 2017, the streets will fill with regency-costumed fans, celebrating one of Bath's most famous literary figures. With promenades, readings, tours, workshops, costumed balls and much more, the 9-day festival will celebrate and educate even the most dedicated Janeite.
23rd September – 8th October 2017
Our restaurant at Combe Grove serves a variety of locally-sourced, seasonal dishes and we're looking forward to showcasing these at the Great Bath Feast, a celebration of Bath's fantastic food offering, local producers, artisans and chefs.

With authors such as Julia Donaldson, Cressida Cowell and Jacqueline Wilson, the grown-ups will want to join in as well!
Various dates including 9th September 2017
Why not perfect the art of getting 'cosy' and join a restorative Hygge Yoga mini retreat this September? YOGADOO's last summer Hygge instalment takes place on 9th September here at Combe Grove.

I'm linking up with 4 Moms, 35 Kids to continue "chatting" about the book Large Family Logistics by Kim Brenneman. This week is about the second half of Part 2 – chapters 28-47. The chapters are short, to-the-point, and most of all – encouraging!
Now, if I was telling you about this book in person, I'd probably gush, "It's so helpful and encouraging – GET IT NOW!" and then jump from topic to topic about my favorite points, and how much it energizes me when I read it. For this post, however, I'll briefly highlight and comment on the main points of some of the chapters. 😉
Morning and Evening Routines
In this chapter, Kim stresses that the way the mornings go determines the rest of the day. She says that "a good morning starts the evening before" with laying out plans and finishing tasks to make the next day begin smoothly. I have found this to be so true! We get up and rolling earlier in the day when we know it has a plan. She really hit a sore spot when she said to not ignore the alarm in the mornings. Ever since my teen years, I've been way too good at hitting the snooze button in the mornings! Lately I've noticed I'm more tempted to do that whenever I know I've not fully prepared for the next day. When I'm ready, I often wake up before my alarm, happy to get going.
Table Time
This is about taking time every single day to gather together as a family and study God's Word, memorize, sing, and pray. This has been a mainstay in our family from day one, and I've written about how Bible is the foundation of our homeschool.
15 minutes of phonics
Yes, it really doesn't take long to teach your children how to read. We just need to be consistent – sometimes this can be difficult in a large family (speaking from experience here). My 4 and 6 year olds are reading simple short-vowel words right now – and are beginning to spread their reading wings.
Read Aloud Time
One of our favorite times each day – the time to read aloud from excellent books. Some days we've blown the schedule and read for 3 hours – it's that much fun.
Afternoon Chore Time
Another great chapter on having a consistent time each day to clean the house. Kim suggests having this time just before Daddy arrives home each day – so he's greeted with happy children, a clean home, and supper ready. She also lays out some great ideas for doing regular deep cleaning at this time each day, in short segments, in order to avoid a huge 3-4 hour cleaning time once per week. In our house, Daddy has rotating shift work and has several different arrival times. We have simply chosen 3-4pm as our ideal afternoon chore time, with a quick pickup just before he arrives home (7:30am, 7:30pm, 3:30pm – you get the idea). I already posted a list of our afternoon chores – just doing that each day really makes a huge difference.
Bathroom Management
I love where Kim says, "The main users should be the main cleaners." Exactly! When my kids were little, of course I did most of the bathroom cleanup, but now they are the main bathroom cleaners. She gives great ideas for how to break bathroom cleaning down into little steps that get done each time someone is in the bathroom. With one of our bathrooms being shared by 6 girls, this is critical. When things fall apart, which they can very quickly, I have the children put everything back together, and stress doing a little here and there in the future.
Bedroom Management
This is about having bedrooms being mainly that – a place where we use our beds to sleep. Kim suggest cleaning out clutter and other items in order to make cleanup in bedrooms simple and quick. One thing I've always done for my younger kids is to not require that they fold their clothes – they roll them up, or just get them into the proper drawers. I've been pleasantly surprised to see that by making things easier for them at first, they learn to fold their clothes neatly and quickly – they want to be like the big kids.
The Children's Hour
A wonderful chapter on setting aside a time every day to interact together as a family – and this time specifically to do things with our children that they like to do. This will look different for every family, and even at different seasons.
Family Worship
This is about setting aside a time to worship the Lord as a family each and every day.
Home Crafts
All about letting children create and make things – an area where I've really struggled. After all, a lot of children making/inventing a lot of things makes a lot of mess! This year, however, I made drastic improvements in this area by finally getting our sewing/craft room cleaned out and set up, and now we have all sorts of projects going on – like cotton loop potholders, earrings, paper crafts, and tons of other ideas the kids have. We're all having so much fun, and many business ideas are budding.
Homeschooling the Large Family
She gives a lot of great suggestions for homeschooling the large family. One of her goals is the same as ours – to get the children to be self-teaching as soon as possible. It really makes a world of difference. I wish I'd had this book about 10 years ago as I was learning how to homeschool.
Health and Wellness
A chapter about the importance of taking care of our families and ourselves. The seemingly simple things of adequate rest, food, exercise, and perhaps supplements are highlighted.
Feast Night
This chapter is extremely short, yet I had "pages" of thoughts in my mind after reading it. The idea is to have a regular feast night where you use your best china, dress up, eat favorite foods and special desserts, even awards ceremonies – simply to be thankful to God because we are alive and He has been so good to us. Wow! How often do we save our best for weddings, church get-togethers, and other occasions – while neglecting to be joyful at home with "just" our family? This simple chapter gave me such joy and tons of ideas.
Meal Planning
I don't really want to write about this chapter – but I will, because this is an area where I struggle with consistency. You might think I have this down after being married for 17 years and having a husband and 9 children to feed on a regular basis. (Ahem.) Of course, we eat regularly, but I am still working on getting it all organized so I don't have to do so much last-minute thinking on the fly. When I plan meals, it's amazing how much "extra time" we seem to have. This chapter is full of ideas of how to develop a workable and nutritious plan. I have written before about our favorite breakfasts (see? I can plan…). Kim also has two great lunch plans that we use frequently – everything is delicious: crockpot lunch menu plan and homeschool lunch menu plan with grocery lists.
If you don't have a book – you really should get your own copy!

[VIDEO] Cast of The Wire Reunited for New Prius Commercial
Any sane person who made the smart decision to watch the HBO series The Wire was probably on the edge of their seats during last night's Super Bowl 50, as the TV show's Sobotka family were reunited in a commercial starring the Toyota Prius in a high-speed car chase. Although Ziggy Sobotka typically prefers his Chevy Camaro, Princess, it was a Prius that caught his, his father Frank's, and his cousin Nick's eyes as they looked for a getaway car after a bank heist.
Now, most people probably wouldn't pick a Prius as a getaway car, but the Sobotka family and their friend decide to steal a Prius after their original getaway car is towed while they are busy in the bank. They load up the hybrid and speed off, leaving a bag of money in its place for the Prius' owner. Police pursue the car, making comments such as, "How hard is it to catch a Prius?" and "This thing is actually pretty fast."
This commercial is Toyota's way of introducing its recently-released fourth-generation Prius to America during the most-watched commercial break of the year. And to appeal to The Wire's many fans, of course. While not everyone who saw the commercial and recognized the actors will be rushing to buy a Prius, there's no doubt that they appreciated Toyota's mini-reunion of one of the best shows ever made.

Buried deep underground through a winding series of tunnels is the hidden oasis of Talei. While the cramped caverns that lead to the city are damp and stuffy, the city itself is the exact opposite and bustles with life. For generations the Mithyrn has called this place home and the world was unaware of their existence beneath their feet. Because of their seclusion, their culture and architecture developed independently of trends and fads throughout the years, and their capital is considered one of the most unique and intriguing cities in Valindir.
To journey to Talei takes a guide or at least an excellent sense of direction since the winding tunnels around the metropolis twist and curve for miles without ever passing through the city. The Mithyrn can navigate them easily, but travelers often find themselves lost a few times before arriving to the grand archways before the entrance to the city. The stone arches have been carved with talismans in both Sylvan and the ancient language of the gods and shimmer veins of natural gemstones. A common misconception is that this is simply an ornate gateway only for aesthetic beauty, but they are actually an integral part of the city's protection. With just a simple incantation the magic stones and spells inlaid in the rock activate and sparkling shields envelop the only way in or out of Talei, protecting its inhabitants from harm.
The natural beauty of the caves has been preserved and the Mithyrn have built around the wonders that were already within their home. One of the most stunning sights is the cascading waterfall that showers down from high in the ceiling and empties into the river that slices the city in half. This powerful current is drawn into underground jetties that eventually make their way to the ocean, but those passages are as tangled as the dry ones that lead into the city. Jutting out from the smooth, stone walls are intricate, sparkling clusters of crystals. These magical gems actually provide the light source for the city as well as add to the enchanting feeling for which Talei is known. The entire Mithyrn territory is not this unspoiled however, and some of the walkways lead towards the mines where they procure their gemstones and precious metals. It is these mines that have lead to the Mithyrn becoming a wealthy race, as their jewelry has become a coveted item all over the world.
Because of their handiwork with gems, the Jewelers Guild has opened a grand chapterhouse in Talei and found the Mithyrn are quite accepting to their presence. They were shocked by how quickly the building itself was constructed because of the Mithyrn's mix of magic and stone that forms what someone might consider rubble into usable material. The pebbles are fused into rock bricks and are then placed to form the walls but without the need for mortar. They are then solidified into one, continuous building bound through magic and inlaid with veins of magnificent crystals and swirling patterns of metals. This is how the entirety of the metropolis is constructed, with buildings and homes jutting out from the sides of the caverns and along the smooth streets they have built.
The Guild of the Faithful has rather large guild hall in Talei and they find that the Mithyrn are natural oracles and embrace their way of life. It was the first of any outside guild to establish itself within the walls of the town, but it was not the last. The youngest of the guilds is a chapter of the Emerald Courtesan House that has enjoyed quite a bit of prosperity since opening its doors to the Mithyrn. They often find married couples come not to find a new companion, but for guidance on how to infuse their own relationship with a bit of unique magic. In either case, the courtesans there have been incredibly patient and the city has embraced their views, even if it was a tentative relationship at first.

Romain Veillon's photos capturing abandoned houses
Thirty-year-old Paris based photographer Romain Veillon is the first artists we're going to present in our new category "photography". His extraordinary photographs all revolve around the same theme: abandoned churches, abandoned hospitals, prisons, and abandoned nests. They radiate magic, past, and evanescence at the same time. One day, Romain stumbled upon pictures taken of the city Kolmanskop while browsing the National Geographic. Kolmanskop, once a mining town in which white miners settled to operate diamond mining, was abandoned in 1954. Romain was fascinated by this unusual place and planned to travel to Namibia to take pictures of the town. We are happy that Romain agreed to share some of his awesome images from his series "Kolmanskop" and other fantastic photos of abandoned nests, which he took while wandering through Paris.
Your photographic work is concerned with scenes of abandoned places. How and when did this idea arise?
I have been inspired for a long time by abandoned places and the universe and atmosphere that comes with it. Since I was a kid, I always loved wandering in these locations, it was like playing Indiana Jones. My grandmother used to run a transport company; I remember playing in the wharehouse and in the abandoned houses of the workers for hours. Then, taking pictures of it was the next step of the process. Now, I try to show the beauty left in these abandoned nests.
What fascinates you about these abandoned nests?
Mostly, being a witness to underline the strength of nature that always takes back what's hers, but also the ephemeral aspect of human constructions; symbolized here by the progress of vegetation through what remains of humans' past lives. There is also a post-apocalyptic style with this decay. Trying to capture what is beautiful in what remains is important to me and showing how the disappearance of man can create a strange and magical atmosphere.
Isn't this topic a little bit depressing?
I don't think so. Well, at least not for me. Living in Paris, going in this kind of places is relaxing. There is nobody, it's calm and peaceful, you can finally be alone with yourself and take some time off. There is some poetry in this place, and I prefer to think about what's left over what is missing. Castles, factories, hospitals, churches… Everything is ephemeral. And I try not to live in the past. Everything goes back to earth in the end, so let's enjoy it before it's gone.
What was the scariest and what was the most remarkable place you've ever walked into while searching for a scene?
Of course, Kolmanskop was the most remarkable place I have seen! You feel very alone in a deserted town like this one when you stay several days, but I was ok and feeling very lucky to spend some relaxing time in this special place. And Namibia was definetely an incredible country where I want to go back to as soon as I can (in the desert of Namib and to the skeleton coast). During the entire week it took to take the pictures, I focused a lot on the lighting and thought about the time when I could have the best light for the important shots I wanted to make. Then, I guess, I enjoyed just exploring the entire city and trying to imagine the stories of the miners that worked there. I am not easily scared as I said earlier but I guess it would have been the prison in the north of France. You can really feel what these people, locked in a 3m square cell, were thinking and how hard it was. You can imagine the pain that this place has witnessed!
How do you find these abandoned nests?
I spend a lot of time on the internet researching abandoned places. Sometimes you have to find clues on pictures of others photographers and investigate to find the location. Sometimes you just have to read a lot of architectural and historical documents to find what could be a great place. Or sometimes you are in your car, you keep your eyes open, and you just find these locations by chance.
Do you think about the people who lived in these rooms in the past?
Of course! One of the thing I really enjoy in this world of decay is the exploration of an abandoned house, for example, and trying to figure out what was the life of the residents like, and why this place has been abandoned. Imagining and creating the stories of a past long forgotten with the help of objects or documents that are still there is really something I enjoy.
What is your plan for the future? Are you going to continue your work documenting abandoned places?
I will continue to take pictures of these abandoned nests every time I have the chance. But in the future, I think, I will focus on travelling very far to find other types of abandoned places—more exotic, of course (as Kolmanskop had been last year)! My next project will take me to Argentina, for example. And I will also organize exhibitions where I will find partners who are interested in my photographs. And I am also trying to find a publisher for a book on Kolmanskop.

It is sad that the $380 million renovation of the St. Louis Gateway Arch will take longer than expected.
People had hoped it would be done in time for the 50th anniversary of the Arch being finished in October 1965. It won't be completed until the end of 2016.
Construction on the Arch began in June 1962. St. Louis residents living miles away from downtown would watch the legs of the Arch grow longer and come together as construction reached its end.
The Arch has been called the Gateway to the West, signaling the country's westward expansion. However, Kansas City and Independence would take exception because people in those western Missouri cities consider themselves that gateway.
St. Louis just put up a national monument first. The renovation will include improvements to the park grounds, riverfront and museum beneath the Arch. It is being financed with public and private funds.
St. Louis celebrates its 250th anniversary this year. Yes, the red-brick city on the Mississippi River is older than the country.

Any person who believes someone has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability may file a grievance under this procedure. It is against the law for Arkansas Dentistry & Braces to retaliate against anyone who opposes discrimination, files a grievance, or participates in the investigation of a grievance.
Grievances must be submitted to the Section 1557 Coordinator, James Maus, within (60 days) of the date the person filing the grievance becomes aware of the alleged discriminatory action. A complaint must be in writing, containing the name and address of the person filing it. The complaint must state the problem or action alleged to be discriminatory and the remedy or relief sought.

MANILA, Philippines -- Communist negotiators said Monday that a cease-fire scheduled to begin in two days could be jeopardized by a military order allowing troops to patrol in rebel areas and to seize weapons from insurgents.
They said they had written President Corazon C. Aquino saying that unless the ``bellicose`` posture of the military is changed, ``we are afraid that the guns on both sides may not be stilled at all on Dec. 10.``
Aquino met late Monday with military leaders and with the government`s cease-fire negotiators, apparently to resolve this question.
The issues involved points of contention that were left unresolved in the agreement signed Nov. 27. A Communist negotiator, Antonio Zumel, said Monday that these issues could lead to immediate conflict even if the cease-fire goes into effect on schedule.
Also Monday, another Communist negotiator, Carolina Malay, said she did not believe a lasting peace could be achieved as long as American bases remained in the Philippines. ``The bases have to go,`` she said. ``They are the cornerstone of American domination.``
The points left unresolved in the cease-fire agreement and raised Monday by the Communists involved key issues of sovereignty.
The government refused in the cease-fire agreement to allow the Communists to designate zones of influence into which the armed forces could not intrude, leaving the possiblity of armed clashes if soldiers continue to patrol freely. It also refused to prohibit military seizure of unauthorized firearms, raising the possibility of military attempts to disarm the insurgents.

Want to immigrate to Australia - Sponsor (Sydney)
Hello there,
I am a French national who wishes to immigrate to Australia in Protected content , since my partner is currently living in Sydney and I love the Australian lifestyle. I have a PhD in International Law and worked in the humanitarian sector (development, human rights and refugee law) for the past 8 years. I have worked for NGOs and the United Nations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
It seems that my best chance to get a work visa to Australia would be to find a sponsor in the legal or non for profit sector. Would you have any advice for me? What shall I do to increase my chances to get sponsored in the next few months?
Many thanks in advance for your advice and I am looking forward to meeting some of you when I visit Sydney at the end of November (hope there will be an Internations event at that time).

Libraries and universities are two services that have taken a battering during the Coalition years. Both have been haunted by the spectres of budget cuts, marketisation and outsourcing. While public libraries have often been unwilling victims in the Conservatives' ravenous small-statist maw, the higher education sector has often been a ready and willing partner in the embrace of market structures in the provision of university education. Compare and contrast, for example, the fate of Lincolnshire Libraries and the recent repression of protest by the University of London.
In the library sector, public libraries aren't the only game in town, with university libraries making up one of several different sectors employing information professionals. A necessary step for any budding librarian in the UK is to undertake a CILIP-accredited qualification, at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and/or CILIP Chartership. As a recent graduate of London Metropolitan University's now-defunct MA Information Management, I was interested to see how many other UK universities have shut down their librarianship courses, and how that has intersected with policy introduced by the current government.
Aside from London Metropolitan University's librarianship course, the University of Brighton has also frozen its information management courses, subject to a review of postgraduate teaching. These aren't the only recent casualties though; a quick trawl of archived CILIP webpages in the Internet Archive revealed a drop from 17 to 13 in the number of UK Universities offering CILIP accredited courses (note: CILIP's current qualifications page hasn't been updated to include the withdrawal of the University of Brighton's courses).
The other institutions to have withdrawn their librarianship courses since 2009 are the University of Central England, Edinburgh Napier University and Leeds Metropolitan University. In the meantime, two new UK course providers, Glyndŵr University and the University of Ulster, have been added to CILIP's offer, along with one overseas provider, the Cologne University of Applied Sciences .
Even with the inclusion of Glyndŵr University and Ulster, the drop in CILIP accredited course providers in the UK still stands at 24% in just a little over three years. The start of the drop coincides almost exactly with the election of the coalition government in 2010.
The number of students undertaking information management courses is also on a downward course, with a 14% drop in numbers between 2007/2008 and 2011/2012 (source: HESA) There are no figures available for 2012/2013, but a drop from a high of 4560 students in the 2007/2008 academic year to 3920 in 2011/2012 represents a significant shrinkage of the student population studying on librarianship degree courses.
It seems that since then, librarianship courses have become less attractive to both students and to the university sector that provides them. From the available figures, applications for librarianship courses have recovered slightly from a 14% drop between 2009/2010 and 2010/2011, but on the whole student numbers for information management courses are decreasing at a greater rate than the current average for postgraduate (-3%) and undergraduate courses (+1%) in the UK.
The fall in student numbers can of course be partly attributed to a drop in the amount of equivalent course places, but it is unlikely that the withdrawal of three course providers would account for the 640 fewer students studying librarianship in 2011/2012 compared to four years previously.
Universities saw a £940 million pound cut to their government funding in 2011, compounding the impact of a £449 million pound cut under the previous Labour government. At the same time, post-Browne review undergraduate students began paying up to £9000 a year in tuition fees and postgraduates experienced an average 24% hike in prices.
In this context, it is easy to see how the pressure to concentrate on financially viable courses on the university's side, and the pressure on students to apply for courses with a high level of post-degree employability and pay, has led to relatively niche courses like information management being dropped.
Put simply, universities are less keen to commit resources to running them, and students are apparently less likely to commit to an increasingly uncertain career in librarianship. Public libraries, a key sector of employment for new librarians, have been decimated by the coalition's commitment to shrinking expenditure on local government, with another 70 public library closures and a 4.4% fall in library budgets recorded in 2013.
We've arrived, in the five post-recession years since 2008, at a situation where libraries across all sectors are threatened, where students are seemingly less keen on a career in librarianship, and where universities are less likely to facilitate that career through providing courses. By the next election in 2015, who knows which other aspects of the library sector will be plummeting off the graph?

We are happy to announce that we have won the Third Prize Award – "A Hanging Marketplace" by Stefan Lengen and Henrik Cheung, from FELT Architecture, London – UK.
The Jury praised this typological experiment that translates formally into a stratified structure. The sense of community is generated by merging people and space through the formal and informal commercial activities that happen at the different platforms. Due to its essential form, the project could look very independent in the context of the neighborhood, but with the dynamic usage it presents a great potential to be a unique spatial experience.

Great swing mat for more experienced golfers
39 of 41 people found the following review helpful
I am no Jack Nicklaus, but I can hit off this mat and it feels like those driving mats they use on the range, only smaller. I use this in my backyard, and it lets me do a full drive on it without worrying about ripping it to shreds as I have done to other swing mats. I buy one every year since I do wear it down smooth, but if you ever go to the driving range, you will see the driving mats there wear-out as well. This is what I think:
Good but it's small
34 of 36 people found the following review helpful
This hitting mat is perfect for what I wanted for hitting into a net in our back yard. The feel is great and it is very durable so far. Don't be surprised though, it is very small. This is no driving range mat, it's only a bit larger than a piece of paper. Then again if you aren't precise enough to hit a ball off of a mat this size, you have larger problems than a hitting mat will solve. It does weigh enough to keep from moving when you hit off of it unless you take a really big divot.
Perfect mat that has met my need

This mat has been perfect for what I needed. I'm a high handicap golfer that is just getting back into the game. I recently purchased a golf net
Excellent Mat
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful
The first one I received was used so I returned it for a replacement. So far, it is holding up very well — even with my modifications for using it at the driving range. I removed the wooden or plastic tee holder and drilled two more holes in it the mat spaced apart evenly. I then inserted 3 rubber tees I also bought. The mat is solid enough so that even when I put down 3 balls on my tees and hit it, the mat doesn't move or shake enough to knock of the other 2 balls. This is exactly what I was looking for. Some of the other mats may be too flimsy to accommodate this use. I haven't used the wooden tee holder that comes with the mat so I can't speak on that. Despite the wrong start by the vendor (Amazon) when I received the used mat, I am pleased with this mat and would strongly recommend it.
Great Mat
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful
It is a great little hitting mat. I've purchased two now one for home and one for work. I'm more of a digger and the mat has withstood all the abuse and beatings I have given it over the last few months. The only complaint is that the little tee holder because I got tired of chasing my tees after I launched them. To fix that I picked up a 5 pack of 2″ rubber tees. Photo attached is a picture of me (camera on the ground) launching the ball. You can faintly see the club and the ball moving.
Good quality
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
Don't let the size fool you. It is quite rugged will take a lot of punishment even when not using tees. Anchor it in the turf with a 40d or 50d nail or spike and you are ready. I would advise buying a set of rubber tees (the kind you see at driving ranges) unless your willing to break and replace a wooden one after every tee shot. The rubber one fits neatly into the hole where you would otherwise place a wooden tee in the original holder.
Great portable aid
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
This little mat is surprisingly heavy duty. Just carrying it around you can feel the heft, and it stays in place nicely when you swing at it. Out in the yard it definitely doesn't go anywhere, and on concrete it shifts only a couple inches. For such a small pad, this is impressive. One thing I did to help cushion the impacts in the garage is place it on a horsestall mat that I use for dropping weights while working out, and it feels a lot better. I typically take decent divots out of the grass (I'm not the kind of player who can 'pick' it cleanly off a smooth surface), so I am thumping on this unit fairly hard with each swing. The rubber base is incredibly thick and durable, and so far the grassy surface has held up well (about 5 months of use). In the past I've had problems with tearing up the artificial surface on mats fairly quickly, but not with this one. A side benefit is that I can remove the tee holder and take it to my local driving range where it fits perfectly in their mats. Now I can use my own regular tees to hit off of instead of a rubber tee.
Realistic feel, a little small.

Realistic feel, a little small. Two real problems with this: the height differential between the ball/surface and your feet/surface and the size of the hitting surface. The actual hitting surface it 7″ x 13″. Pretty small, considering. Miss hits are going to grab a piece of the ground (or deck in my case). Would be perfect at like 3′ by 5′ where you could stand on the turf at the same height as the ball. I use this on my deck, coupled with the Calloway net (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005THTIES?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01). The provided tee holder is wonderful, with one small exception. You're really limited to the depth of the tee holder before it bottoms out on whatever hard surface you're placing it on. No fault of the manufacturer. But, if you're using the 3 1/4 inch tees like me, you're not able to place the tee as far in the 'ground' as you normally would, so the ball is higher than you would normally place it.

We Love Introducing Children to the Love of Jesus
At Avoca Christian, we value your kids. We know how important they are to you, and they are just as important to us. But even more, we know how important they are to Jesus. Our goal is to share the love of Jesus with children of every age, from infancy through 5th grade. Through our curriculum, we want to teach children how to then share the love of Jesus with their family and friends. It's the same as our vision for our church: Helping Kids Take Their Next Step Toward Jesus. It's that simple.
So how do we introduce kids to the love of jesus?
- We know that children learn differently than adults, and we target our lessons to meet them on their level.
- We focus on teaching them a Christ-centered worldview with specific and practical lessons about how they can apply the lessons in the Bible to their own lives. In addition to teaching them about God's love, we also teach them about God's law so that they can learn at any early age how to be obedient to Christ.
- We also make learning fun! We incorporate lots of exciting and creative activities into our weekly programs to make the lessons memorable and fun.
- Safety and security is important it us, just as it is to you as a parent. Our volunteers take the safety of your children very seriously. From the moment you leave them in our care, your children are never left unsupervised.
Each week, we offer a wide variety of opportunities for your kids to join us as we learn about God.
9:15 AM - Sunday School
10:45 AM - Worship Service with age-specific instruction periods
6:30 PM - Wonderful Wednesdays with age-specific instruction periods
Our Children's Ministry is broken down into two groups:
Tadpole Park
Tadpole Park is specifically for our littlest visitors, from infancy through preschool. It is located behind the Worship Center.
Kids from kindergarten through 6th grade are invited to join us in KidzTown, and it is located on the second level of the old sanctuary building.

Recently I picked up and could not put down L.S. Hilton's Maestra. I must recommend it to my readers. Judith Rashleith works at a posh art auction house in London. Although she has an advanced degree and has done the art instruction tour in Italy, she is treated like a janitorial assistant by the Oxbridge educated who run the British art establishment. Despite Judith's efforts to improve her accent and even walk correctly she never quite fits in and is given crummy assignments, including visiting the home of the owner of an art piece who also happens to be a rapist.
Judith is at times sarcastic and is always witty and wields her words like a sword. Later we learn she's physically tough and willing to use her beauty to manipulate her foes.
To supplement her meager, slightly-above-minimum wage income, and while attempting to make ends meet in one of the most expensive cities in the world, Judith takes a gig at a dreary nightclub that specializes in selling cheap champagne at expensive prices for the pleasure of lonely older men to talk to lovely young women. Just talk. One of the dreary customers is loathsomely fat and boring but takes a shine to Judith and every Friday night leaves her a tip of several hundred pounds just so she can listen to his tedious life story.
The art house sends Judith to evaluate a painting which it intends to offer for auction. Using her experience and expertise, Judith concludes that the painting, while nice, is not by the proported painter and will not nearly bring as much money at auction as the house had hoped. Unfortunately for Judith this is not what her boss wanted to hear. When she tried to surreptitiously look further into the authenticity of the painting she gets caught and promptly fired.
Judith grabs what cash she can and flees, eventually winding up on a very wealthy guy's yacht, hiding out from any link to her and the fat man's death. While traveling in Italy, Judith learns that the painting she believes to be a fake is being offered by her former art house for an extravagant sum, far beyond its actual worth.
Judith arranges to meet the local agent for the sale by representing herself as still employed by the art house in London. The novel's shocking turning point is what she does to the seller of the fake painting when they get together in Rome.
The death of the art dealer and the theft of the painting puts Judith on the run. Her evasion attempts are brilliant and along the way she puts in a couple of appearances at expensive secret sex orgies. I thought the second big sex scene was perhaps unnecessary but later in another plot twist Hilton ties that romp in nicely with the eventual capture of Judith by an Italian policeman who had coupled with her.
The ending is again quite a twist and totally unexpected, so much so that the reader may come away from the book not liking Judith. She can certainly be ruthless. I'll leave that decision for the readers.
Still I see similarities between Judith and Kristen. Both are on the fringes of society due to their backgrounds and miserable childhoods. Both strive to excel and surpass all those who believe themselves to be superior. They accomplish more than their enemies ever expected. Neither is afraid of violence–Kristen when necessary–Judith when she wants to. And both are very sexy and beautiful. What more could one want in a book?

Help cometh from on high;
From God who never slumbers,
Whose care is ever nigh.
My foot shall not be movèd,
My keeper is the Lord;
He never shall forsake me;
I trust me to His Word.
2. God keepeth me from falling,
Fulfilleth all my need;
His love doth e'er uphold me,
In faithful word and deed.
He keepeth me from evil,

My going and my coming,
He crowneth with His grace.Source: The Cyber Hymnal #4195

DME and the competitive bidding rules: Freezing out mom-and-pops and patients
Will Congress rip away the ability of independent and small chain pharmacies to sell diabetic supplies and durable medical equipment to Medicare patients?
That's the essential question being debated by the U.S. House Small Business Subcommittee on Healthcare and Technology. The congressional panel is mulling a proposal from some lawmakers to exempt smaller pharmacy operators — defined as those with 10 or fewer locations — from the new Medicare competitive bidding program.
Freeing small pharmacies from those burdensome bidding regulations is critically important, both to patient access to needed health supplies, and to the notion of free-market competition and a level playing field, the National Community Pharmacists Association said. One of its members, independent pharmacy owner Randy Mire of Gem Drugs in Louisiana, testified before the House subcommittee last week in support of H.R. 1936, The Medicare Access to Diabetes Supplies Act. The bipartisan legislation would allow small pharmacies to continue to furnish patients with diabetes testing supplies and personalized counseling on their proper use, without having to submit to lengthy and cost-prohibitive competitive bidding rules.
Mire serves patients in small-town and rural parts of the Bayou State, where access to DME supplies is severely limited for many Medicare beneficiaries. Gem Drugs, he told congressional representatives, "is one of the very few pharmacies still in the area that provides these essential DME supplies to patients." Mire said he wouldn't be able to continue providing diabetic supplies, wheelchairs and other DME if he's forced to bid for the business and accept sharply reduced payments.
He isn't alone. In a survey conducted by NCPA, more than 9-out-of-10 independent pharmacy owners said they would have to exit the Medicare diabetes test supply program if presented with a sharp reduction in payments. And 83% of them said the impact on patients if they had to obtain diabetes supplies from mail order would be significant.
As Drug Store News senior editor Mike Johnsen put it, reducing the costs that the government pays for DME for Medicare patients through competitive bidding would "succeed in reducing the overall cost of care in much the same way the cost of sugarcane would be reduced in a sugar-free zone.
"If you can't access the care, you can't pay for it and, consequently, the cost of that care is less expensive," Johnsen writes. "How's that for backward math?"
Are Mire, NCPA and Johnsen right? Should small pharmacy owners be exempted from competitive bidding, or are they overstating the potential damage to pharmacies and patients that the new bidding requirements would cause? Let us know what you think.

Healthcare-reform supporters show altruism
A lot of people have quite a few things to say about healthcare reform, whether they favor or oppose it. But supporters of the law show an altruistic sensibility and an understanding of how the law would benefit other Americans, according to an exclusive survey of nearly 800 patients conducted by AccentHealth and DSN in late July and early August.
Among the 486 polled supporters of the law, 67% said it would allow coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, while almost the same percentage, 66%, said millions of Americans would have coverage, and exactly half said it would be good for the American public, and 44% said it would provide cost savings for seniors. They also showed an understanding of the benefits to themselves. Forty-eight percent said they would have access to new and extended healthcare benefits, while 47% foresaw preventive care at no additional cost, and 42% said they would save on prescription drugs.
