When we planned our first trip to the Galapagos, we weren't sure what to expect about safety. We didn't know if we would be able to travel without a guide, or how safe it would be at night. We had been living in Cuenca, Ecuador for more than two years and we were comfortable with the level of safety in Ecuador. But our visit to the Galapagos really surprised us.
In terms of safety, Galapagos is like small town Canada. People are friendly and crime is virtually non-existent. But in terms of everything else, Galapagos is like nothing we've ever seen before.
The front desk staff even encouraged us to walk into town after dinner. Another employee told us that you can leave your wallet out in the open and no one will take it. Just like small town's across Canada or the United States. Crime just isn't a concern there.
Is it Safe To Visit the Galapagos?
While visiting again a few months ago, we were walking through Puerto Ayora – the main town on Santa Cruz Island. It was about 8 pm and we were taking in the sights. The pier is beautiful in the evening and there are lots of people out – mostly tourists but many locals as well. We were all taking photos and it wasn't until I saw the two police officers that the issue of safety even entered my mind. I had my dSLR camera around my neck, shooting videos and photos for the blog.
I stopped to speak to the two officers and what they said surprised me. I told them that we lived in Cuenca – they were both from Ecuador's mainland as well. One was from near Quito (in the northern Andes) and the other officer was from the coast (Manabi Province). They get assigned to the Galapagos on a rotation (not a bad assignment!). I asked them what the crime was like in Puerto Ayora. They both kind of laughed and said: "There isn't any". What about the other islands? "Tampoco" they say, meaning: "None there either."
I asked them about the large camera that was hanging around my neck – is it safe to have it out at night? "Tranquilo," they said "no pasa nada". Which means: "Relax, nothing's going to happen".
"Now, on the mainland – you need to be careful" they said. This is obvious. Big cities can be dangerous anywhere. Walking around any large city (in any country) at night with a large, expensive camera probably isn't ever a good idea. From our experience, Ecuador is a safe during the day – just use some common sense. From our travels to the Galapagos we've learned that you can even forget your common sense and not have any problems.

American School of Dog Obedience
Using Gentle Methods
The American School of Dog Obedience techniques combine praise, exercise and discipline, bringing dogs under their owner's control and promoting a happier and more enjoyable pet.
Teaches your dog, off leash, to:
- Move and wait away from you when told
- Wait away from doors or gates while they're being opened or closed
- Stop "playful" biting
- Not jump on humans
- Stop doing whatever they're doing when told
- Be calm, plus
- Walk on a leash without pulling
- Come on command
- Sit and stay sitting until released
- Lay down and stay down until released
Any breed of dog, 3 ½ months of age and older can be taught to be a better pet.
All programs include teaching the owner as well as the dog. This assures the dog respects and obeys his/her owner and not just the professional instructor.

Generous former MG Rover workers have donated more than £23,000 to terminally-ill children, after seeing their hopes of four-figure payouts crushed.
Former Longbridge car workers agreed to give a total of £23,352 to Acorns Hospice after losing a near eight-year battle for compensation following the closure of MG Rover in April 2005.
The money, allocated to cover administration costs, will pay for 31 days of care.
The end of the long-running MG Rover Trust Fund saga was marked with a special official visit by trustees Carl Chinn, Eric McDonald and Nigel Petrie to the Selly Oak Hospice.
Carl Chinn said: "The Trust Fund has been a long and unhappy saga – it was a difficult decision to come to, to say that there was no more money coming in to help former workers.
"We tried to consult as much as we could and there was overwhelming support for Acorns. It has been an unhappy experience for the workers but I would like to pay tribute to them for wanting the money to go to such a good cause."
Promises of cash payouts by the Phoenix Four had faded after banking giant HBOS withdrew £12.5 million earmarked for ex-workers and the High Court rejected a courtroom bid last year for a reprieve.
Eric McDonald, a former TGWU union official, said: "I do not think they could have given the money to a better cause. This brings an end to the fund."
Oliver Thomas, of the Justice For Rover Workers campaign, said: "This was not the outcome we had been hoping for – we were promised something different but those promises never materialised.
"But the goodwill and morale of former Longbridge workers remain."
David Strudley, chief executive of Acorns, said: "We appreciate this has been a long and ultimately disappointing struggle for the former Longbridge workers.
"This is an extremely generous and hugely appreciated gesture.
"The £23,352 will go toward providing vital care and support to life-limited and life-threatened children and their families, funding the equivalent of 31 days of care."

Just released a Doom snapmap called "Hellbound". I spent alot of time on this one, completely remaking a room so that it is what it wasn't - added lots of random gameplay, some hell modules and what I hope you will consider a kickass time. You will start off in a completely remade module. One of 3 random timers will start you off after you kill the first zombie you see then it's game on from there. You will get 90 seconds, 120 seconds or 180 seconds of blood splattering fun. Then, after getting into the blue skull key room you will be greeted by a tremendous fight that will open up the portal to Hell where you will be greeted by one of three randomly chosen wave events - how difficult it is depends on what the randomizer chooses. Keep on playing, it ain't over yet and no matter how many times you play this, you WILL NOT see the same gameplay twice. I hope you enjoy.

As always, feedback and upvotes are welcome.

Project Genesis Is Coming From Empress Miniatures
September 7, 2015 by stvitusdancern
Empress Miniatures is releasing a post apocalyptic miniatures range in 28mm. The range will be called Project Genesis, and the background is that a mission went to Mars to investigate an object believed to be from a alien civilization.
Something happened to the team, and upon returning to earth an infection happens and causes devastation. Earth, thankfully has a response in a special operations team, called Project Genesis and they were created to handle all sorts of unusual circumstances.
In the releases shown you can see some military operatives and civilians with whatever weapons they can get their hands on. The other packs include what appears to be infected soldiers and infected special characters to include Santa Claus, a clown, a bunny waitress and yes Elvis of all people. This can make for some very interesting game play.
Are you ready to handle the apocalypse?
"...upon returning to earth an infection happens and causes devastation."

Earth Song Ranch Is Passionate About Natural Health & Alternative
Supplement Choices for Horses, Cats, Dogs & You as Well
We have been delighting our customers since 1998!
Our Natural Supplements are Blended & Packed Fresh the Day they Ship
Earth Song Ranch has been designing and manufacturing natural horse supplements since 1998 - along with dog and cat products too. Our probiotic, digestive enzymes, herbal mixes, and herbal wormers are blended and packaged fresh the day they are shipped - not many companies can say that!
When you buy a foil bag or pail of our product (or the other manufacturer's products you'll find here), you are guaranteed a pure, fresh, nutrient-rich product, that is not pre-packaged and does not sit on warehouse or store shelves where it loses potency. In fact, if you select one of our herbal blends (some cut and sifted herbs - some powdered) it is like getting a custom blend because the cut and sifted blends are mostly wild crafted and the powdered herbs are blended with yeast, yeast cultures, & MOS, with a little rice bran the day it ships. It may take a bit longer to get your order, but it is worth it.
Our natural, nutrient-rich blends are made in the USA - and contain no unnecessary fillers, artificial, GMO, or other non-essential ingredients. Read more about us >.
Happy Customer Testimonial
"I thank you for your continued love and support. You're so knowledgeable and love to help no questions asked. Not to mention your amazing products! :) You're not your typical company owner and that's what makes you so special. Your time and effort that you put into each client is greatly appreciated.
All the animals thank you so much too! Sid our little rescue dog can't thank you enough!"
Mel G, Los Angeles, CA
The Earth Song Ranch Team - Dedicated to Natural Health
Passionate about safe, natural and non-drug animal health, Earth Song Ranch formed a team of progressive, holistic thinking veterinarians, herbologists, a microbiologist and other animal health professionals to help us create the Earth Song Ranch line of immune supporting and boosting products. The Earth Song Ranch team was also the original designer of the Smooth Run herbal product line in 2001.
We had a vision of bringing natural health products to the market for horses, cats and dogs - then added a dose of our passion and inspiration - coupled with our life-long love and ownership of horses, cats and dogs. We took a deeper look at what health challenges our customers were experiencing with their animals, especially the horses, and began our quest for searching out what solutions nature had to offer.
Using herbs, natural immune boosting ingredients, and no drugs or chemicals, Earth Song Ranch was able to combine various essential ingredients to create products that work consistently and improve the health of your animals - be it horses, cats or dogs. The rest is history.
Jessica Lynn, Earth Song Ranch owner, is a life-long equestrian and professional animal nutritionist. Natural Health is her passion and her work. Jessica is a graduate of the University of Edinbergh Equine Nutrition Course.
Because she has owned horses much of her life she totally understands an owners' dedication to their horses as well as their desire to ensure top-quality care for them, and that is whom she has always designed her products for.
Natural Cushings/IR/PPID/Metabolic Support - Featured Herbal Blends & Diet Consultations
With so many of our clients' horses showing signs of metabolic issues, including Pre-Cushing's / Cushing's / Insulin Resistance (IR) - including the cresty necks and long hair coats that do not shed - we developed a cost-effective blend of herbs to support their specific needs.
The herbs selected for our Cushing's/Metabolic/IR blend are ones that can help to regulate and balance hormonal cycles, promote blood sugar metabolism and support liver and pancreatic health, all the while strengthening the immune system.
We've had such success with these natural formulas that we now offer our Sunny's Cushings Support Kit, which includes our recommended natural herbal products and Equine-Zyme - along with a free 15 minute nutritional consultation to review feeding and diet recommendations and FREE SHIPPING. The synergistic effect of all four products has produced great results time and time again over the last 10 years.
Read (or listen to) how the Cushing's Support Kit helped Sunny, a Florida horse owned by NBC's The Horse Talk Show Host and Executive Producer Louisa Barton, reduce his ACTH levels from 293 to 27 in under four months. Listen also to Why the Fall is More of a Concern for Cushings & Pre-Fall Prevention Tips.
We are also happy to do diet and nutritional consulting for those of you looking to prevent Cushing's /IR/ Metabolic disorders from developing. See our consultation options. All 1 hour consult clients receive $25 off their first product order of $100 or more.
Restoring Digestive Health - Natural Probiotic Blends
Primary among equine issues, digestive disorders give rise to a myriad of other complications, also compromising the immune system, causing some colics or lack of assimilation of nutrients and vitamins, which can lead to hoof issues and laminitis. See our FAQ: Why Are Probiotics Good for My Horse?
With that in mind, we developed our Equine Zyme and Equine Zyme Plus probiotic/digestive enzyme blends. These natural supplements address horses' key issues from multiple angles:
Our Equine Zyme and Equine Zyme Plus Probiotic/Digestive Enzyme natural blends are manufactured in Iowa by Horse Tech. All Horse Tech Products we have on our site, including our own Equine Zyme and Equine Zyme Plus, come with FREE SHIPPING.
Well known and respected, Horse Tech is a member of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), whose membership requires them to manufacturer to a higher standard.
These products are generally shipped USPS, but the drop-shipped packages are usually sent via UPS, so please be sure to include not only a mailing but a physical address when you fill out your order form.
If you live in Canada you will received an invoice for the additional shipping costs. We will generally ship via US Mail to Alaska and Hawaii, and to Canada as well.
Natural Ulcer Support & Prevention Blends
In helping many horses over the years, Earth Song Ranch has found a specific combination of several herbs that work synergistically together to help a horse who has ulcers or is prone to ulcers. These supportive herbs have been a favorite natural approach to helping horses with ulcers for 12+ years - and are found in our Tummy Tamer and Tummy Tamer Show Formula blends - and in our Ulcer 911 Support Kit. See our FAQ: Ulcers in Horses – Natural Remedies/Treatments, Signs/Symptoms & Feeding.
EPM Support Kits - A Natural Approach
There are alternative options for supporting a horse with EPM and helping to prevent EPM. Earth Song Ranch, along with a holistic veterinarian, formulated affordable natural homeopathic and herbal alternatives to allopathic treatments to support horses that have been diagnosed with - or are suspected to have - EPM. We offer our EPM Support Kit and EPM Support Kit + Immune Booster & Vitamin E, as many horse owners may already have Vitamin E on hand. All kit products are available for purchase separately as well. See our FAQ: EPM in Horses - Symptoms, Prevention Tips & Natural Support Solutions.

Join Taleena and me as we discuss what may be turmoil-filled episode 16 of Hyde, Jekyll, and I.
Watch episode 16:
Aunnie: Oh, it hurts to be right and I'm not being sarcastic, it actually hurt to be right about Seo Jin and Ha Na. I was prepare for her to give this lovingly gushy response to Seo Jin and be an outcast to how these two felt about each other but I was not prepare for her to turn him down flat.
Taleena: I just have to think that Ha Na is fooling herself. Every time someone, most often Robin, asked about Seo Jin's feelings and her feelings for Seo Jin, Ha Na put it down to gratitude and the forced intimacy of a highly charged situation. I can see how that is the logical construction and why she is saying it, BUT when Robin asked point blank WHY she cares about Seo Jin if she really only loved Robin she would say, "I care because what Seo Jin does affects YOU." or "I care because all people need kindness." She answered no one directly. Either in the general, "I care about all people" or the affirmative, "I care because of Robin." That leaves, "She cares about Seo Jin in himself but can not admit it for fear of being hurt."
Aunnie: Oh man . . . we just will never agree on this. I just think her response of "I care because he's been through something traumatic and it just starting to get his life back together" is a pretty reasonable explanation. It's like kicking a dog while he's down--he just dealt with a boatload of his past issues and now Robin wants to announce to the world "Hey, I know Seo Jin is went through this traumatic event but guess what? He's also been harboring this huge secret for fifteen years. Yay! Let's deal with this now!" And even I would be like "Dude . . . calm down."
Taleena: I am not saying that it is an unreasonable or illogical response for Ha Na to say that. I am just saying she is not selling it very well. Which is why Robin's Love Reading Meter is going off like crazy. Robin is understandably concerned by Seo Jin 'stealing' everything from him. The huge issue comes down to this: Robin made a pitch to Seo Jin that they both try to learn to live and love, and now Seo Jin is doing that Robin is regretting it.
Aunnie: I don't know, she sold it pretty well when she put on her b*tch-face when confronting Seo Jin about him spending time with her crew. She may a little "too calm" when talking to Robin, but to Seo Jin, she has clearly drawn a line, cemented the crap out of it and is ready to put up a barbed fence worthy of the Demilitarized zone.
Taleena: Seo Jin is the ONLY person who is buying it. Seo Jin is the only person she feels compelled to put up a clear defensive front with. Because he is the one SHE HAS UNRESOLVED feelings for.
Aunnie: Okay, change of topics: Robin wanting to establish himself as a real person is a noble, noble goal and I'm torn between wanting to support him and wanting to say . . . why can't things be just like they used to be? Although he does have a point, everyone is trying to get rid of him so he has to do something drastic so they can't get rid of him.
Taleena: Something I noticed all episode is how much more alike Robin and Seo Jin are becoming. The wardrobe is just the illustration for it. Suddenly Seo Jin is wearing open collars and relaxing quite a bit, and Robin is buying a suit and being forward thinking about business.
Aunnie: I'm gonna stop you right there . . . for two seconds. Seo Jin wore a turtleneck shirt under a collared shirt in that last scene with his dad. What the hell is that fashion??
Taleena: Only a K drama actor could wear that and make it look non nerdy. That is all. BUT I think that Robin's frantic attempts to establish himself as his own person is simply a reflection of Seo Jin's own drive to succeed and be his own person.
Aunnie: I kind of agree that they are starting to become one but I think Robin wanting to establish himself has more to do with the basic human nature of not wanting to be forgot--even if it's in the hearts of family. We all want to be remembered on a basic level, we want to leave a mark on someone's life and unfortunately, Robin will always be remembered as Seo Jin if he gets extinguished now.
Taleena: I am not disagreeing that his motives are his own, that desire for acknowledgement and legacy, but the ability that drives those motives are derived from the side of his personality that he labels "Seo Jin".
Aunnie: I swear, we should just bring our individual psychologist family members into this discussion--like we need a board of experts to help figure out motivations. Haha! Also, I'm just done with DNP.. Director No Pants needs to switch occupations and be a detective with Honey Badger at his side. She'd be a good side kick. His "Eur-ika" moment was great! The look of utter triumph in his face--I want to see this guy act more.
Taleena: I could watch a show of nothing but Director No Pants and Honey Trap figuring stuff out. With cake lots and lots of cake. Honey Trap's face of perfect innocence while eavesdropping on Dr. Kang and Alfred was delightful. I want Director No Pants to take over the company for good. I want Seo Jin to integrate his personality, but eschew CEOness to be the webtoon author he always wanted to be.
Aunnie: Speaking of the webtoon and drawing, I very nearly got emotional watching Seo Jin and Soo Hyun's conversation in the interrogation room. Sung Joon's acting is incredible--just a few episodes we were going "he's so evil!" and now we're (or at least I am) going "awww, poor guy never even had a chance!"
Taleena: I think we are going to be on opposite sides here again.
Aunnie: Of course we are, nothing can be easy between us. Haha
Taleena: It's what makes us the dynamic duo. While I had the tiniest of feels for Soo Hyun, he did, after all, go through trauma and find out that he had been hiding from himself all along, HE made the choice to do bad things. HE did. It may have been based on faulty information and assumptions. BUT there comes a time when you need to be accountable. The first attack on Dr. Kang was a mistake, the rest a choice. You can forgive someone, as Seo Jin has done, but you must live with the consequences of your actions.
Aunnie: Oh no, of course, I agree with all of that. I've always told people that you can only blame so much on other people before you just have to hold yourself accountable. I agree, he should see jail time and pay for what he did to all the parties involved. But it would also have been easier to see him just continue his wicked ways and be evil than to see him honestly regret what he did and the decisions he made and knowing he'll have to live with his actions for the rest of his life. That's the part that's sad, at least to me.
Taleena: Yeah, it's sad. There is always an element of sadness when people's choices are destructive, and Sung Joon's remorseful sadness is played well. I don't trust it 100%, but that is because I am a nasty suspicious person. There was always a heavy element of envy and self centeredness to Soo Hyun's motives that I think are not so easily swept away.
Aunnie: BUT THOSE BIG PUPPY EYES!!! No, just kidding. I'm too trusting--which is totally no true--but I try to believe the best in people unless they've shown that they can't be trusted. So far, this is the first time he's really tried to be honest with himself and Seo Jin. And the fact that he asked Seo Jin not to come back just screams sincerity. I wonder if we'll keep seeing him from here on out or if his story is done? The dad though . . . even having asked Ha Na to leave, I love him. Can't understand why he's so damn mean to Seo Jin's face though!
Taleena: See I am not nearly so convinced that the Dad is wonderful as you are. (We're taking opposite tacks as we did in King's Face.)
Aunnie: Ugh, I had nearly gotten myself to forget about King's Face . . . then you gotta bring it up again.
Taleena: I loved that dad in that. Anyhoo, no one is trying to assassinate the Dad in this show so he doesn't get a pass.
Aunnie: I beg to differ!! Pretty sure Director No Pants is trying an assassination of sorts . . . it's just not a feudal-esque assassination.
Taleena: See, it is not the same, and hyperbole will get you nothing. NOTHING! One is actual death and the other is just board room maneuvering. Direct No Pants is awesome and I love him.
Although Taleena and I seem to be at odds about this whole Seo Jin/Robin/Ha Na thing, it seems we can't agree on anything this episode. How do you guys feel about the turn Hyde, Jekyll and I has taken? Do you think Ha Na is harboring feelings she's not prepared to deal with? Do you think Seo Jin will try and get rid of Robin and do you think Robin will make his identity known to the world? Let us know in your comments and we'll see you next week for episode 17 and 18!!

Ships pollute more than planes
More CO2 overall, not vessel for vessel
Ships pump out twice as much carbon dioxide as planes, according to new figures from the maritime industry body Intertanko.
The body also warns that the industry should brace itself for the attentions of various governments. Bill Box, from Intertanko, told the Independent newspaper: "Shipping has not yet been regulated and for politicians it is the last low hanging fruit."
Previous studies from the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) have shown that ships emitted levels of CO2 similar to those from the aviation industry. But Intertanko says emissions have risen steeply over the last six years as ships are sailed faster to meet the demands of the planet's growing economy.
It said there had also been a general increase in global trade which contributed to the increase in emissions. Ships transport some 90 per cent of goods around the world.
Although mile for mile, shipping is still much more efficient than driving or flying goods from place to place, it is the sheer volume of the traffic criss-crossing the seas that is the problem. Some 90,000 vessels cut regular channels through the oceans, burning low-grade "bunker fuel" that churns out choking fumes that contribute to air pollution over land.
The shipping industry is also under pressure to reduce the amount of these other pollutants it produces, such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide and sulphuric acid. ®

When the new government takes over in the Maharashtra state, it will find itself sitting on a financial time bomb. The Comptroller & Auditor General of India (CAG) has pointed out that the state has failed to provide valid data on the utilisation of Rs 71,563 crore spent from the state treasury.
For each and every rupee spent from the state government's kitty, it is mandatory to submit a utilization certificate (UC) to the state wing of the CAG, which is tasked with keeping a check on government expenditure. The state has, however, failed to submit UCs for Rs 71,563 crore and the non-compliance has been going on since the financial year 2004-05.
According to government sources, the fact that UCs have not been submitted indicates that the funds have either been misused or diverted for pecuniary gains. A senior government official said even state funds said to be spent during the 2005 floods were under question as UCs in many cases were yet to be submitted.
According to a CAG report submitted to the state legislature in June, 1.49 lakh UCs were pending till March 2013. The amount involved was R45,008 crore up to financial year 2010-11 and another Rs 11,737 crore got added on in 2011-12. Nearly Rs 15,000 crore was unaccounted for between 2011-12 and March 31, 2014.
The CAG has also expressed surprise over the state government's policy to continue to disburse funds despite UCs being pending in such a large number of cases. In a recent meeting of CAG representatives and state government officials, it was decided that additional funds would not be disbursed unless UCs for amounts utilised till March 31, 2013, were submitted within a month. A copy of the decisions taken at the meeting are with this newspaper.
"The department which disbursed the amount but failed to submit UCs is responsible for ensuring proper utilisation of funds," said an officer from the finance department. As per the rules, the funds have to be utilised for the purpose for which they were disbursed and any deviation is treated as a serious breach.
"If no UC has been submitted for years together, there is a possibility that the funds could have been misused. These are financial irregularities," added the officer. During the meeting between state officials and CAG representatives, it was also decided to file FIRs as early as possible in cases where misuse and misappropriation of state funds is suspected. The state has been asked to undertake a review of cases pending since the last 10 years.

Salford's Lowry and Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre and Hallé orchestra yesterday launched their production of Wonderful Town, the musical that Leonard Bernstein knocked off in just over a month.
This is the first time the three major arts organisations have collaborated on such a major project. The production, which has taken five years rather than five weeks to put together, will be directed by Braham Murray, long-serving artistic director of the Royal Exchange.
The Hallé, under its music director Sir Mark Elder, will be in the pit for the first two weeks of the three-week run at the Lowry's Lyric theatre. Lee Menzies, one of the producers, says:
This is the largest orchestra used for a musical anywhere in the world ever
The cast is led by Connie Fisher, star first of the BBC's How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria and then of The Sound of Music, and the show plays at the Lowry from 31 March until 21 April before heading off on an 11-week tour. A 17-piece band will take over from the 65 Hallé players for the final Salford week and then the tour.
Sir Mark suggested the production after seeing the New York revival of Wonderful Town in 2003. Murray, who retires from the Royal Exchange this year, knew nothing about the show. He says:
It's the great unknown musical. It's an absolute knockout, totally amazing. It's zany, it's crazy, it's wonderful.
The most recent major British revival was the 1986 production starring Maureen Lipman.
Bernstein's biographer Humphrey Burton claims that
the sustained musical innovation [of Wonderful Town] lifts it into the highest league of Broadway musicals.
Bernstein, composer of West Side Story and passionate advocate of the symphonies of Mahler, relished the tightest of tight composition deadlines he was given. He worked with legendary writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green who had been hired to produce the lyrics as quickly. According to Burton, the three locked themselves in a room with daylight shut out and walls painted grey.
The air was so blue with cigarette smoke that they could barely see each other across the room from piano to typewriter.
The show, with Rosalind Russell in the lead role of Ruth, took New York by storm in 1953 after busting box office records in Boston (where Russell was apparently dropped by one of the men in the chorus) and Philadelphia. The story, set in Greenwich Village, is based on My Sister Eileen, a collection of autobiographical short stories by Ruth McKenney. Ruth and her beautiful younger sister Eileen quit Ohio for New York where they meet a bunch of colourful characters as they search for love, success and free food.
The Guardian's Michael Billington has written that Wonderful Town:
...does something rare: it gives civilised pleasure. There is wit in the score which embraces pastiche jazz, a Latin-American conga, and Irish jigs and Aaron Copland while still retaining its own distinctive flavour. And there is wit in the lyrics which are crisp as a Manhattan morning.
The big numbers are that riotous conga and Ohio ("Why, oh why-oh, why did we ever leave Ohio"), plus a sleazy night-club ballet, a Wrong Note Rag and the simply lyricism of Quiet Girl.
All the Lowry-Royal Exchange-Hallé team has to work out now is how to pronounce Bernstein, whose final syllable alternated between steen and styne at yesterday's launch.

Bernanke Heads to Congress Battling Calls to Tame the Fed
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke helped steer the economy away from what he calls "Depression 2.0." Now he's trying to defend the Fed itself.
As Mr. Bernanke heads to Capitol Hill today for two days of testimony on the economy, the central bank is fending off attacks on many fronts from critics who want to rein in its power and autonomy.
Rallying one charge is Ron Paul, an iconoclastic Texas Republican who wants to abolish the central bank entirely. Mr. Paul's economic ideas sometimes make him the target of ridicule -- in the new film "Bruno," shock comedian Sacha Baron Cohen tries to seduce the startled congressman in a hidden-camera scene while discussing economic theory.
Still, Mr. Paul has persuaded nearly two-thirds of the House to co-sponsor a bill requiring far-reaching congressional audits of the Fed. Audits would show "that it's the Fed that has caused all the mischief" in the U.S. economy, Mr. Paul says.
President Barack Obama has proposed giving the Fed some new powers to oversee financial institutions -- but he also wants to limit its authority to make emergency loans like the ones used to bail out American International Group Inc. and Bear Stearns. Meanwhile, the Fed is being pushed to rethink its structure amid concerns that bank-industry executives have too much influence in its actions.
Many Fed critics blame it for the economic crisis. They say it failed as a bank regulator and also fueled a bubble by keeping interest rates too low for years. They also feel Mr. Bernanke, who became chairman in 2006, stretched the Fed's powers too far by bailing out firms like AIG, pushing Bank of America to complete its Merrill Lynch takeover, and pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into the financial system.
"My colleagues and I believe that accommodative policies will likely be warranted for an extended period. At some point, however, as economic recovery takes hold, we will need to tighten monetary policy to prevent the emergence of an inflation problem down the road." – Ben Bernanke
Mr. Bernanke defends his actions. "I don't regret anything we've done," he said in a recent interview. "If the Fed and the Treasury hadn't acted" as they did, "then the global economic environment would have been much, much worse than it is today," he said. "There would have been some risk of a 1930s-style Great Depression. We averted that."
He strongly opposes the proposal to audit the Fed, calling it "self-defeating and dangerous." The risk: If investors see the Fed facing new political oversight, they will doubt its ability to take unpopular steps to fight inflation -- one of the Fed's top jobs. Fearing inflation, bond investors will push interest rates up, hurting the weak economy.
Mr. Bernanke has plenty of support -- 43 of 46 private economists surveyed by WSJ.com say he should be reappointed. Mr. Obama, though he hasn't tipped his hand on reappointment, recently has said Mr. Bernanke has done a "fine job under very difficult circumstances."
Mr. Bernanke will face a tough audience in his semiannual report to Congress Tuesday and Wednesday. The Fed "went too far in bailing out companies and exposing taxpayers" to the costs, says Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the senior Republican on the Senate Banking Committee. "They utterly failed the American people as a bank regulator."
Mr. Shelby says he doesn't want to impede the central bank's ability to conduct monetary policy independently, but he is also skeptical of giving it new powers.
The central bank has three influential roles in the national economy: Preventing inflation, keeping unemployment low, and acting as a "lender of last resort" to prevent financial panics. If it fails, the consequences can be grave -- an inflation outbreak like the 1970s, or a Great Depression like the 1930s.
Most economists agree that fighting inflation requires political independence because it involves unpopular decisions to raise interest rates and slow economic growth that can fuel unemployment.
"We're at a crossroads," says Frederic Mishkin, a Columbia University economist and Bernanke supporter who was a Fed governor in the early stages of the crisis. "We're going to be facing much more scrutiny and attacks on the independence of the Federal Reserve."
Complicating matters for Mr. Bernanke: His own job is on the line. His term as Fed chairman is up in January, and President Obama must decide whether to offer another four-year term. One possible contender for the job is Lawrence Summers, Mr. Obama's top economic adviser.
While fighting hard on some issues, Mr. Bernanke has found other compromises. He has agreed with administration officials on new checks on the Fed's ability to make emergency loans.
Mr. Bernanke is also reaching out to lawmakers to make his case. On Monday, Linda Robertson, a former Treasury official and Enron lobbyist, started working at the Fed to improve its relations with Congress. Mr. Bernanke has held 25 one-on-one meetings with lawmakers the past six months, as well as nine group sessions.
Despite the public tongue-lashings Mr. Bernanke has received, his private meetings have been notably civil. "Mr. Chairman, I just want to let you know you're doing a fine job," Rep. Don Manzullo (R., Ill.) told him at one meeting recently, according to a person familiar with the matter. It came just a few weeks after the two clashed at a hearing in which Mr. Manzullo began demanding "yes" or "no" answers from him, and Mr. Bernanke retorted: "It's a poorly posed question."
Looking Back at Fed Power Struggles
Journal articles on clashes over powers of the Fed in the late 1970s.
- Burns Proposes an Economic Blueprint That Blends Radical, Reactionary Ideas (Sept. 22, 1975)
- Fed's Course in 1972 Becomes a 1976 Issue That May Affect Policy (Jan. 12, 1976)
- Plan to Cut the Fed's Overseeing of Banks Weakens Its Monetary Powers, Burns Says (March 19, 1976)
- President Denies Any Clash With the Fed in Attempt to Soothe Business Uneasiness (Nov. 11, 1977)
A spokesman for Mr. Manzullo says he respects Mr. Bernanke as a "man of integrity" who "gives straight answers."
Most major democracies let their central banks act without political interference. The Fed is afforded unusual autonomy. Fed officials have long terms -- 14 years for a board governor. Congress controls the purse strings of government departments and agencies -- but not the Fed's.
More than 250 prominent economists recently signed a statement warning that the Fed's independence is at risk. Mr. Bernanke's predecessor, Alan Greenspan, calls Mr. Paul's bill in particular a "serious problem" that could "change the [Fed's] deliberations process and significantly lower the quality of what comes out of the system."
Markets present their own kind of test of the Fed's actions. As part of its economic rescue, the Fed is buying $300 billion of medium- and long-term U.S. Treasury debt, one of the many unusual steps it has taken to lower interest rates. The move has prompted some worry among Fed officials that it could be seen as an effort to help the U.S. government finance soaring budget deficits.
Mr. Bernanke has been working the phones to reassure officials in other countries that this isn't happening. The Fed's holdings of U.S.-government bonds, in fact, have gone down the past two years because it sold off a stockpile of Treasurys in the first half of 2008 to help other lending.
"We absolutely will not monetize the debt," Mr. Bernanke says, using economist-speak that means he won't let the Fed become the government's source of cash for deficits. Fed-fueled deficits would be inflationary. Mr. Bernanke says, "we will not abandon price stability."
Yields on 10-year Treasury notes, at 3.60%, are still historically low. That's a sign the debate about the Fed's independence hasn't unsettled the markets.
But the market balance can be delicate. David Kotok, chairman of Cumberland Advisors, a Vineland, N.J., money-management firm, says he worries politics will make it harder for the Fed to fight inflation. "I have one eye on the barn door," and if there is a whiff of inflation, he says, he'll start selling bonds, which pushes up interest rates.
It has taken decades for the Fed to establish its independence. Until the 1930s, the Treasury secretary sat on the Fed's Washington board, and in the early 1950s, the Fed fought with the Treasury for more autonomy. But it wasn't until after former Fed chairman Paul Volcker jacked up interest rates in the early 1980s to kill inflation that full central-bank autonomy became an accepted part of political life. Today, Mr. Volcker is an adviser to President Obama.
When Mr. Bernanke first met Mr. Obama last July in the Fed chairman's stately office, Mr. Obama, then a candidate, began the conversation by saying, "The first thing I want to tell you, Mr. Chairman, is I have great respect for the independence of the Federal Reserve," according to attendees.
Mr. Bernanke got most of what he wanted in the Obama administration's blueprint for renovating the financial system -- including a plan to close big failing financial institutions in the future so they don't land in the Fed's lap, and more authority to keep overseeing those institutions.
The Obama plan gives the Fed some additional powers, but also takes some power away. Mr. Bernanke agreed to a proposal that the Fed must get executive-branch approval for unusual lending, such as the emergency AIG loans.
At the same time, both Congress and the White House are pressing for reviews of the Fed's structure. A prime target: The 12 regional Fed banks that have a say in interest-rate decisions and bank regulation.
Under the 1913 law that created these regional Fed banks -- in places like New York, Richmond, San Francisco and Kansas City -- local boards choose each bank's president. The regional boards are composed in part of private bankers.
Critics say this setup makes the regional banks unaccountable and too close to private bankers. "There's a definite conflict of interest when the banks are involved in selecting their regulators," says Sen. Shelby.
One solution could be subjecting the presidents to Senate confirmation, but Fed officials oppose that. The Fed could try to head off a fight over the banks by proposing its own reforms, for instance by seeking to change the rules overseeing the private sector directors.
The proposal by Mr. Paul, the Texas lawmaker, for a Fed audit by Congress is the most obvious symptom of skepticism toward the Fed's autonomous status. Mr. Paul says a "natural consequence" of an audit would be that the public "would be so outraged" about the findings that they will decide to kill the institution entirely.
Mr. Paul, an obstetrician and two-time presidential candidate, considers the Fed to be unconstitutional. He sells "Audit the Fed" T-shirts on his Web site, and his movement has a small but deeply committed following: Supporters even have a dating Web site in his name, "Ron Paul Singles," where users seek others displeased with the Fed.
Mr. Paul's bill would repeal limits on audits of the Fed by the Government Accountability Office, opening it to much closer scrutiny from Congress. The GAO already audits some Fed activities, such as its regulation of banks. Mr. Paul's bill opens other Fed activities -- such as interest-rate decisions or trading with other central banks -- to more scrutiny.
In May, Mr. Bernanke left a hearing bristling after an exchange with Mr. Paul. Mr. Bernanke said Mr. Paul's bill would interfere with the Fed's interest-rate decisions. "I certainly would resist any attempt to dictate to the Federal Reserve how to make monetary policy," Mr. Bernanke said.
Mr. Paul shot back: "It's the policy that's the only thing that really counts."
Few lawmakers share Mr. Paul's wish to eliminate the central bank altogether. But his demands for more scrutiny have struck a chord. Some lawmakers want at least a one-time independent review.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, who has signed onto the Paul bill, argues that even the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency are subject to GAO audits, albeit classified ones. (The Fed's wouldn't be classified.) A full review, he says, wouldn't put Congress in charge of "day-to-day operations," but would have value. It "may expose extraordinary stupidity. It may expose risk-taking."
A companion bill in the Senate faces more resistance. Eighteen lawmakers have signed on so far. "Anyone who doesn't like the Fed's independence should wait until the politicians can control it," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York. Then, "they'll wish for independence."

The Farha Foundation merges with
Fondation québécoise du sida
After tirelessly working since 1992 to support the HIV/AIDS community of Quebec and distributing almost $10 million to those in need, the Farha Foundation is pleased to announce that it will be merging with the Fondation québécoise du sida. Both organizations have enjoyed a long and deep-rooted relationship and similar passions: the support and commitment to those living with HIV/AIDS in Quebec.
The Farha Foundation is the legacy of founder Ron Farha, and he would be proud to see how the contributions made went to support so many in need in the province of Quebec. We sincerely thank our generous volunteers, corporate sponsors and individual donors for their commitment, support and dedication in the past twenty years.
As we unite in our common cause, the Farha Foundation will now bear the name Fondation québécoise du sida. All donations earmarked for the Farha Foundation received after April 1, 2017 will be thoughtfully managed by the merged entity. This includes matching donations, planned giving and all forms of donations. Net proceeds of these funds will be distributed to most of the same partner community groups and for the same services that the Farha Foundation has always supported.
Once again, thank you for your continued support.
"We are excited at the new energy this merger will bring to the fight against HIV/AIDS now and in the future." - Evelyn Farha, Honourary President.

Specifically issue #2 of the series, according to Geoff Johns.
"Brightest Day' is about second chances. I think it's been obvious from day one that there are major plans for the heroes and villains from Aquaman to take center stage in the DC Universe, among many others, post-Blackest Night. 'Brightest Day' is not a banner or a vague catch-all direction for the DC Universe, it is a story. Nor is 'Brightest Day' a sign that the DC Universe is going to be all about 'light and brighty' superheroes. Some second chances work out…some don't.â€

'Brightest Day' is not a banner or a vague catch-all direction for the DC Universe, it is a story."
Okay, right there, you lost me. Officially no longer excited about this. :(
I don't know, Stacy. The part at the end about some people getting second chances that work out and others don't sounds very intriguing.
It's really good to hear that Aquaman's back. Sure, it was obvious, but it's really exciting to have a concrete answer.
cover looks good. it seems that he has both of his hands back
….Or maybe the submerged hand is still "tainted" in some way, since the reflection is of Black Lantquaman… Dun dun DUNNNNN!
…because you really wanted a vague catch-all direction instead of a story ?
^This^, unless the reason for lack of excitement is as follows (and this is just me trying to see other perspectives, not endorsing the following):
"Brightest Day" as a 'banner' leads one to believe that there is an overall change of direction, and change coming to many different facets of the DCU.
"Brightest Day" as a 'defined story-arc' might be discarded at the whim of present/future creative teams. (see: Armageddon 2001/Armageddon Inferno, Countdown To Final Crisis, The Blood Pack, Chain Gang War, etc).
~wyntermute~, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Everyone else, feel free to pick it up. My comments where just meant to show my dissatisfaction with the state of the story telling in the DC Universe.
Hope the series makes a ton of money for DC, because eventually one of these ideas will finally stick.
Sorry, just a little cynical tonight.
Hey!! Another cynic!! :D Despite my generally cheerful and somewhat hopeful demeanor, I too am oft rendered cynical by these pulpy wretches who TERK AR JERRRBS!!… Um, sorry I went all SouthParky for a second. I meant "RUIN OUR COMICS", and I'm not being snarky. I can completely understand from where you is coming, Mr. B. :)
Dey dewk our dawwbs! Dei dook arr dabs! …*cough*
Yeah I was hoping for a banner too. I mean if DN gets one why the hell not BD?
Mr. B
Hey, you know, I like that! Kinda has a Mr. J like feel!
Is this an attempt to distance "Brightest Day" from the "Heroic Age" over at Marvel? I was hoping for more of a direction than a story arc since the DCU had become sort of a depressing place. You're only supposed to get depressed in Gotham.
SWEET! The King Returns !
He returns only to be killed, because, honestly, there is nothing you can do with this guy. Nothing. They should make him evil.
I for one, was hoping for a banner or vague catch-all direction! I mean, we need a break from the grim n gritty stories we've endured at least since identity crisis. And I'm hoping the 'heroic age' over at marvel is the same.
Lord Taz, and the Marvel Universe is not depressing. Civil War, dead coming back, Osborn ruling over everything, lord only knows whats going on with them mutants. Not a lot of parades going on over in the Marvelverse.
IMO, Marvel's always been a more grittier world than DC. Instead of fictional cities Marvel's characters have centered in NYC and their comics have been the ones to address a lot of issues first (discrimination, dysfunctional families, alcoholism, child abuse, drug use, depression, etc.) while DC was generally a more hopeful and upbeat "universe" with the exception of the modern Batman and a few others. Both of them sort of complimented each other in a yin/yang sort of way.
I guess my point was that with Marvel returning their characters to the more "traditional" concept of the hero and with the Blackest Night and the Dark Reign taking a lot of that away from both brands I expected DC to use "Brightest Day" to refresh some characters and also restore the classic "hero". Telling us "well, some of them will do OK but some won't" kind of puts a damper on it and takes away from the "bright" of "Brightest Day". "Oh, great…you're going to bring back some of my favorite characters and then either kill them off or make them go rogue."
I prefer the idea of story rather than a banner event. My only concern is $$$. Though I'm guessing it will still be a banner event in that all DC books will be labeled Brightest Day, so maybe it's both a story and a change of direction? Because to be honest, being a bi-weekly title, it seems a bit like another '52', in that it's a story that fits in with new continuity but it's not necessarily a tale people will need to buy, and will probably be filled with random characters in non-essential but hopefully still good stories (a la '52').
On another note, are we just pretending the second Aquaman never happened? Last time I saw him was in Batman/Superman.
I'm just glad to see that Arthur is back. I hope we get confirmation that Jonn J'onnz is coming back too?
I FIGURED IT OUT! Who likes cloning stuff, who was there when the MM was killed, who recently just made a human/alien clone that has green skin and couldn't be Braniac 2 due to continuity?…LUTHOR! Luthor totally has MM brain in a jar somewhere and the ability to give him his body back.
As a comic store owner and long time comic fan, I enjoy reading both DC and Marvel. Thought I must say that I am especially looking forward to the Brightest Day series. Not often in the comic world does a series get as much publicity as Blackest Night did and live up to expectations. Now it looks like DC is trying to mach that publicity with a follow-up series. I don't see why the Brightest Day won't live up to the expectations.

Young Township doing its part to continue recycling
YOUNG TOWNSHIP — The Young Township Board of Supervisors held its monthly voting meeting Wednesday.
At the meeting, supervisors decided to take action to help the Jefferson County Solid Waste Authority.
Board Chairman Andrew R. Meterko spoke of the committee's efforts.
"We hate to see the recycling bins leave; our's is used frequently by the borough, so we want to do our part," he said.
To prevent recycling centers from closing and to help defray costs in the area, Young Township will give $1,200 twice at year.
Additionally, anyone can donate to the cause. For more information, one can contact the Jefferson County Solid Waste Authority. Without help, sites will inevitably close, the board said.
In addition to recycling trash, the Young Township Supervisors discussed an upcoming drug recycling inititive. Anyone with unused or expired medication may dispose of it on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jefferson County drop-off locations include:
• Jefferson County Courthouse — 200 Main St., Brookville
• Brockway Drug — 135 Main St., Brockway
• McCabe's Drug — 419 Main St., Reynoldsville
• Lindsey Fire Hall — 1010 W. Mahoning St., Punxsutawney.

Proposed city law would let non-citizens vote
'Immigrants who built America came here with a desire to participate in the democratic process, not to dismantle it'
WASHINGTON, DC – Liberal politicians in New York City want to give immigrants who are not yet citizens the right to vote. The City Council, which is composed overwhelmingly of Democrats, is considering a law that would allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections, explained Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens.
"It's not a joke; it's a blatant attempt to begin securing the future for progressive government," Weber said. "The Council tried before to get the law passed, but was confronted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and backed down. But, the current Mayor, Bill DeBlasio, who was described by liberal TV host Jon Stewart as "the socialist Sasquatch," is reportedly amenable to letting non-citizens vote."
It is estimated that there are some one million non-citizens living in New York City. "That's more than enough to boost DeBlasio's chances to win a second term-especially for a mayor whose first term has been fraught with controversy and whose popularity is waning. But the right to vote is the distinct province of citizens and it is the height of cynicism to diminish its value for personal political gain."
Weber noted that the proposed law would allow non-citizens to vote only in municipal elections. "But it provides no mechanism for ensuring that voters will stick to the rules. Both citizens and non-citizens would be using the same polling places and the same ballot boxes. There would be nothing to stop non-citizens from casting ballots for those seeking House and Senate seats or from voting for the next president. It would facilitate voter fraud on a massive scale in state and federal elections. And, that is why it should be of concern not just to those who live in New York City but also among those of us in the rest of the nation."
Those who support the proposed law claim that residents who are not yet citizens are unfairly disenfranchised. They say that they are a large and important part of the population and that they are unfairly "unrepresented" because they cannot vote. But in a recent editorial by Tom Wrobleski, political editor of the Staten Island Advance, he cited a 2014 report by the Colin Powell School of Civic and Global Leadership at CUNY [City University of New York]. It pointed out that the lack of representation is only temporary until citizenship is achieved.
"The immigrants who built America came here with a desire to participate in the democratic process, not to dismantle it," Weber pointed out. "New Americans are welcomed when they first arrive and they are encouraged to take the path to citizenship that their predecessors took. These efforts to disrupt the process is an outrage. They make a mockery of our nation's history and our future."

[...]How many years until Wall can bolt?
Trade him to Miami for Mike Stanton.
"We just play, with no concept of rhyme or reason, understanding what's going on, the concept of the game."
Phil Jackson and Red Auerbach couldn't win with this group. I'm sure Witman did not tell AJ Price to try 7 three pointers and Trevor Ariza to try 8. He doesn't tell Crawford to get a rebound, then keep dribbling until he turns the ball over or launches up some ridiculous shot.
Some players will never play with any concept of rhyme or reason or understand the game. Like many of the current Wizards. No coach could make Jordan Crawford share the ball.
When was the last time the Wizards didn't look like a bad rec league team?
The Wizards are, in fact, third in the NBA in 3-pointers attempted (25.7/match), trailing only Houston and New York...and they're also tied with Sacramento for dead-last in the league in 3-point percentage (.279) (full list: http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/team/_/stat/offense-per-game/sort/avgThreePointFieldGoalsAttempted)---The other winless team, 0-8 Detroit, plays at Philly (4-3) tonight...will either they or the Wizards (at 4-4 Dallas tonight) get a win?
"We be forgetting plays that we be going over a lot and I think that's hurting us," Crawford said.

Five reasons marketers should code (and how to start)
It's no use letting your ignorance, laziness, or even shame, stand in the way of learning to code. I possessed all three in abundance, until this week I took myself along to a Coding for Digital Professionals course (shock horror, it's run by Econsultancy in London).
The stuff I learned, and the geocities-eat-your-heart-out website I created, got me thinking about all the points in a marketer's life where coding knowledge comes in handy.
In this post I'll reveal more about what I got up to during my first foray into 'the matrix', and I'll list five reasons marketers must have some rudimentary knowledge off HTML, CSS and Javascript.
I'll start with some simple tech info, but read on if you want to see the website I built.
15 awesome mobile website performance optimization slideshows
If you're hoping to cash in on the tablet and smartphone revolution, there's good news and bad news. The good news: internet usage on tablet and smartphone devices continues to surge, creating significant new opportunities in the process. The bad news: expectations are high.
Whether you have a dedicated mobile site or have invested in a responsive design, consumers expect your website to load within seconds on their tablets and smartphones. If it doesn't, you just might have to kiss a sale goodbye.
20 things that could be slowing your website down
Your website could be a visually-stunning conversion machine, but its appearance and functionality won't matter much if it takes too long to load. That's because web users are increasingly impatient and their impatience is likely to continue to grow as tablet and mobile web usage skyrockets.
Unfortunately, the list of things that can cause users to flee a website is long, and in many instances, any one of them can be enough to turn a new customer into a lost opportunity.
Two ways to use CSS in email (yes, that's right, email)
As a follow up to my blog on Creative ways to use mobile in your email marketing campaigns, I wanted to focus on the opportunities which now exist to use CSS in mobile emails.
CSS is generally viewed as bad for email, and on the whole it needs to be used carefully however if you are smart with it you can get some great results.
Will snazzy web fonts soon be a reality?
It's somewhat amazing to think that despite the technological advancement seen on the web over the past decade, web designers are still pretty much relegated to using a relatively small group of web safe fonts when designing websites.
While it's easy to forget about the role fonts play in creating a compelling aesthetic, any decent print designer, for instance, knows just how important they can be.
Adobe's BrowserLab is every web designer's dream come true
Internet technology seems to advance at warp speed but if you're a web designer, the process of testing a website for cross-browser compatibility hasn't improved much since the days when knowledge of Microsoft FrontPage made someone a 'web designer'.
But a new service from Adobe looks set to change that.
Adobe CS4 is out - what's new?
Chances are that if you're a web designer or developer, you use one or more Adobe products.
Adobe's Creative Suite, which includes programs like Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver, is one of the most popular software suites known to web professionals because of this.
Opera - most HTML code isn't standards compliant
Last week, Opera released the results of a survey conducted using its MAMA (Metadata Analysis and Mining Application) search engine.
The engine, which currently indexes 3.5m web pages, is designed to track "how web pages are structured."
Web-based HTML and CSS validation tools
Are you validating your website's HTML/XHTML and CSS? If not, you should be.
How much change does your site really need?
In an online retail market expected to double in size to £78 billion by 2010* the potential rewards for e-commerce businesses are huge. Equally, so is the pressure to stay ahead of their competition.
The desire for online businesses to become bigger and better inevitably affects their approach to redesign. There's a huge temptation to introduce the latest whiz bang functionality and super cool design which will appeal to a whole new generation of customers.
Save web pages forever with Iterasi
Iterasi is a browser-based bookmarking tool that can be used to capture a webpage in the state in which you see it and save it for later.
Unlike some other bookmarking tools, Iterasi doesn't just bookmark a link to the web page you saved, but saves a screenshot of the site in html format.
Five ways to speed up your website
There used to be an 'eight second rule' that predicted how long users would wait for a web page to load before abandoning their efforts and heading off into the sunset.
But this has since come down, with Jakob Nielsen telling E-consultancy recently that the reality is now closer to one second.
With increased connection speeds, users expect pages to load almost instantly and many will hit the back button if they feel they are being kept waiting.

Originally published in the 1920s, this classic Ribbon Art Book shows how to make hundreds of dainty and practical things of ribbons, illustrated in colors with detailed and easy-to-follow instructions. A great resource book for anyone looking for ideas and designs for ribbon accessories and decorations in fashion.
Book Excerpt:
Fashion and Ribbon
More and more, the important costume designers and smart interior decorators employ the ever adaptable and colorful ribbons.
To the return of simple classic lines in dress, we may attribute the increasing appearance of ribbon in fashion.
In accessories to the costume -- by way of adding a necessary color note and hint of frivolity, ribbon fills a most important need.
You will find in this book, over a dozen pages of cocardes and trimmings -- easily and inexpensively made -- which will lend a picturesque quality to the smart gown. And of girdles and corsages there is a wide variety. With a few, simple dark dresses and a half dozen or so of these new accessories, the clever woman can make her costume seem always interesting and different.
For hat trimmings, we are picturing a host of ideas featured by the advance models just now shown in Paris.
These trimmings are essentially simple and therein lies their charm. For a woman with but a slight knack with the needle can make them successfully. And many women will make several trimmings for the one hat -- each trimming entirely changing its character.
On page 29 are shown five ways to trim one hat. And you could multiply the five ways five times without exhausting the ribbon-trimming possibilities.
Purses -- bandeaux -- hair ornaments -- scarfs -- shoe cocardes -- all have been executed for costume effect. We have endeavored in this book to feature only those that can be made without difficulty and that have definite claims to lasting smartness. It is by such accessories as these that the wisely dressed woman wins and holds her reputation for smartness.
In baby things, in boudoir luxuries, and in lingerie, ribbon is more than a fashion. The newest ideas which the exclusive shops are continually originating -- the clever, unusual thoughts -- we are illustrating here in great profusion. They make charming gifts and proud possessions.
For the lamp shades and cushions and various articles of home decoration featured in the following pages, we sought out the smartest interior decorators. It is their opinion that ribbon because of its color value and texture sympathy is the most artistic medium in which to develop the accessories which give a personal touch to the home.
To women who want color and interest in their apparel and clothing, who wish to influence their children's lives by tasteful surroundings, this book is dedicated. It is published with the hope that it may prove to be a practical help and inspiration to those in the quest of beauty.
