If you are on this website you are interested in photographs and horses.
We are looking for someone interested in horses and photography enough to stand in a field all day. Ideally you should have your own SLR camera of at least 8M pixel and telephoto lens and you must be able to get to the events. Experience of horse photography is not essential as we will show you the photos we want, but just look at ours as a guide.
We are looking for help 31st Aug to 4th Sept at Scope this year to ensure we cover every horse in every class in every ring. As a minimum you must be willing to photograph at least a whole class from start to finish including presentation of rosettes. We need at least 4 jumps photographed without missing a horse. The timing is critical, we need a photograph immediately the horse has left the ground, in level flight and just about to land for each horse. Classes (two to four a day per ring) normally start at 8.00am and finish between 5.00 and 7.00pm.
I envisage someone already going to Scope and looking to earn some money while they are there, but you may be an experienced equestrian photographer looking for mid week work. The important thing is you must be reliable and committed to taking the best photograph in the sun, cold, wind and rain without a break until the class finishes. If you live a distance you may be able to stay in a tent or caravan at the showground.
If you are interested please email me some information about yourself including, if you ride, where you are based

Jimmi Simpson on his possible return for Westworld's second season
I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from HBO's Westworld, especially with the delays leading up to its release, but the final product managed to blow me away on a weekly basis and definitely left me hungry for more. HBO quickly renewed the series for a second season, but unfortunately for us, that second season may not arrive until 2018. Jimmi Simpson, who played William on the series, recently spoke with GQ to discuss the show and whether or not he'll be back for more.
Be warned, if you haven't watched Westworld's first season, there will be spoilers!
In the finale, it was revealed that Jimmi Simpson's character was in fact a younger version of Ed Harris' Man in Black and the story we witnessed involving William actually took place in the early days of the park. Much of that story seemed to be wrapped up at the close of the first season, but, as we know that Ed Harris will be returning for season two, is there more story to tell involving his younger self? Even Jimmi Simpson didn't seem sure while speaking with GQ, but he's not about to rule anything out, even mentioning that he wouldn't be surprised if William showed up for season three or beyond.
So far, my involvement in that is unclear. If they have more for William, I would assume it would be a whole new kind of story. Because I feel like this story, the love affair [with Evan Rachel Wood's character, Dolores], we know everything, we know what happens, we don't have to belabor that point. But if they have a reason—I mean, it was the greatest set I've ever worked on. But we're all speculating what season two will be, and I think it'll be something that will blow our minds, to the degree that the first season did. But I wouldn't be surprised if William showed up season three or something.
Which other characters are you hoping to see return for Westworld's second season?

One of the few good things about this winter is that the deep cold killed off a lot of pests and parasites. But they will rebound when it warms up and you need to think ahead for effective prevention.

On 15 May 2015 I boarded the M/S Stockholm with 11 guests to start my third photographic expedition in Svalbard.
Photographs are great and I look forward to sharing some of my own and our guest images in future posts but even with mind-blowing visuals it's very difficult to share the Svalbard experience and tell people what it's like. It's a place that touches you deep inside, changes the way you see the world and yourself and truly qualifies as the quintessential bucket list destination.
During our 11 day expedition I used my iPhone to record short video clips and images of the expedition experience, sightings and some behind the scenes action to try and share what it's like to immerse yourself in Svalbard. All the images and videos in the videos were shot using my iPhone so just imagine what you could do with a normal DSLR camera.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to visit Svalbard on a small expedition vessel grab a cup of coffee, sit back and join me as I take you on a day by day journey of our photographic experience.
2015 Svalbard Expedition Video Diary
Thanks a lot to al the staff on the M/S Stockholm, our guides and all the guests who shared in this amazing experience. Spectacular photography aside, the many laughs shared and memories made is really the most important thing we will all take with us.
It has been an incredible adventure.
Our next Svalbard Photo Expedition will take place from 20 August 2016 so drop me a mail or leave a comment if you are keen to join me on a truly bucket list experience!
Until next time.

I Lost Jesus - No Fooling
I lost Jesus.
We have this beautiful wooden wreath to countdown Lent and Jesus' path to the cross.
I had all kinds of marvelous ideas about how this year celebrating the Resurrection was going to be different.
I wanted for our family to balance out this Christmas/Easter thing.
So many times we've let Easter go by with barely a blip.
We lose Jesus.
We lose Him in the midst of school holidays, chocolate, bunnies, marketing and plans.
My plans got way-laid by trying to finish last year's books, mission trips and going on a vacation.
I didn't even know Jesus was lost until I got back from that vacation because I hadn't even looked for Him yet.
But last week, my girls said what about Easter? We haven't prepared anything. And they were right.
In the past we've celebrated Passover, such a beautiful way to remember...we missed that, it was the same day in the Holy Week when the Pharisees decided that they needed to do something about the Jesus problem, they wanted desperately to lose him.
So my sweet little girl, on her birthday, took down the snowman collection and started digging around. She found the wreath, we put up a more springy looking wall quilt that reminds me that I'm wanting more than just surviving. My husband bought daffodils and an Easter Lily.
We bought some special food, we made plans with Grandpa and Grandma. We attended the Good Friday service which finally started stirring my weary soul into some flame.
And we found Jesus.
She found Him stuffed in the decorating closet and she brought Him out and put Him on the table.
And He died for them, too. He died in my unpreparedness. He rose in my hurry and haste. He came to save all of us, to love us whether we'd lost Him or not.
He found me when I was lost.
No fooling.

Awesome Lani. Simply beautiful and totally awesome. Lets strive together to not lose another moment with Him for the rest of these 365 days...
Hey there! Loved your pictures. I also have the same wreath from Ann Voskamp. I, too, feel like Easter came and went this year. But, as you said, I'm glad He has risen despite my unpreparedness.
Could you tell me where you got the cute button for your one word for 2013? I've seen them all over the place and haven't found the source. Mine is trust!
Thanks again for your words!

The lovely lady over at Only a Breath made it for me. She was doing a wonderful ministry making them for free in January. Not sure she still is, but you can always ask! :)

Lani, I can surely identify with last week. Easter seemed to come without any announcement in our home this year. until sunday morning. It was a very different easter than I think we've ever had. We have entered into that age where the adult kids have plans of their own to do with their littles that sometimes does not include holidays with us. We are ok with it, it's just that this year was suddenly upon us and I looked up and it was Easter. we may lose sight of Him in all the everyday, but thankfully He never loses us once we are in His hands.

Ah, what a great post. I hear ya - busy lives, busy people. But He's still here. I'm so glad you found Him again. xoxox ~ Debi

Monarchs are one of the many incredible pollinators found in the area surrounding Lansdowne that help to keep the flowers blooming and abundant produce growing. This butterfly is considered to be a "natural wonder" as they are the only species of butterfly to hatch four generations each year. While three out of the four generations have a brief lifespan like other butterflies, the fourth generation lives a staggering nine months!
These butterfly beauties can first be seen at Lansdowne in late summer as they journey to the northern United States and Canada as part of the most spectacular butterfly migration in the world. But monarchs are unable to survive the winter's cold and each fall these long-lived butterflies stop through the resort once again during their annual 3,000-mile migration back south. Incredibly, this fourth generation of monarchs travel to the species' ancestral winter home in Mexico, despite the fact that they themselves were not born there and have never been there before.
Throughout their arduous journey, monarchs rely on milkweed plants for survival. Milkweed is the only plant monarchs will lay their eggs on, as well as the main source of food for monarch caterpillars. Late blooming nectar plants are also vital in replenishing the monarch's energy during their flight back to Mexico.
However, the uptick in herbicides have led to a steep decline in these ecologically-important plants. Estimates suggest that U.S. milkweed plants decreased 21 percent between 1995 and 2013, resulting in a staggering impact on monarch populations.
In recent years, conservationists and butterfly enthusiasts alike have flocked to the monarchs' aid. One of the ways that people are encouraged to help is by planting pesticide-free milkweed and nectar plants to create monarch waystations. Lansdowne team members are passionate about celebrating the incredible richness of the local land by giving back to the many native plants, insects and animals that call it home. In an effort to help give these butterfly beauties a place to rest their wings, two years ago a monarch waystation was built right on the resort grounds!
To begin, an area was selected that could be dedicated solely for the butterflies, but one that could also be accessible by guests for their education and enjoyment. (This little slice of butterfly heaven can be found by Fanny's Garden when walking towards the Clubhouse.) Then, soil was added and two types of milkweed frequently found in the area were planted: common milkweed and swamp milkweed.
To further enhance the butterfly-saving efforts, Lansdowne recently collaborated with its partner, Legacy Farms, to build a more robust waystation for this fall's migration. As a part of Lansdowne's Heartfelt Hospitality program, team members diligently search the milkweed for Monarch eggs during the migration.
When eggs are found, they are taken inside where they can be nurtured in a safe environment for the four weeks it takes for the eggs to transform into a beautiful monarch. Lansdowne's monarch madness doesn't stop there! Director of People Services, Alison Wooten, also has a "Care Team" who watches over the caterpillars until they become butterflies. These butterflies are released during the associates' monthly heartfelt classes.
All this effort truly pays off for the monarchs. In nature, only about 15% of eggs make it to the butterfly stage. When protected, the success rate is a whopping 95%! All guests are invited to stop by Lansdowne's waystation to marvel at the migration for themselves. And don't miss the special "Meet the Monarchs" event each Saturday morning this fall, where members and resort guests can participate in a guided tour of the monarch waystation with Lansdowne's knowledgeable Event Concierge and Resident Monarch Expert, Caroline Kuhfahl.

Fab 5 not formed from blind need
Fab Five Band. The Fabulous Five. Once known as The Broncos, they are now famed for their expert presentations and their impressive collection of veteran musicians, some of whom are blind or visually impaired. Asley 'Grub' Cooper told The Sunday Gleaner, "Fab Five probably could have been called Unique Vision (the name of another popular band, which consists of visually impaired musicians) in that sense. But we weren't formed out of that kind of necessity. I am visually impaired, and my brother, who was there, was visually impaired, but the band was not formed out of that."
Cooper is currently the subject of TVJ's Profile, with host Fae Ellington taking a deep dive into the annals of the award-winning musician and songwriter, who happens to be visually impaired.
"I was at the School of Agriculture, Twickenham Park, then. Frankie (Fab Five's bassist) was in KC choir. My brother Conroy went to Excelsior, but by then he had graduated. He was always into music - that was more or less his career at the time. I was more on the fringes. I wasn't the real bona fide musician. I knew a couple of things," Cooper divulged.
Then came a vacancy in Union Square, Cross Roads, at the Bronco Club. "It was a small lounge, but very prestigious," Cooper recalled. This was during a time Cooper calls the 'big band' era, when ska music grew in popularity and having residencies were the order of the day. After Conroy learned of the vacancy, he, Asley and Campbell, having never played together before, discussed three songs and let the owner hear it then.
"The boss told us we could start, but we faked and said we had another gig." This gave time to increase the band, taking on Junior Bailey (guitarist), and Peter Scarlett (vocalist) and rehearse the following day in preparation for the night. "We became five persons there. We were The Broncos at the time," Cooper said. He calls the initial members of Fab Five a mixed bag of everyday people. Scarlett, Campbell, Bailey and Stevie Golding were all coming from Kingston College. "Unique Vision was also a mixed bag, but all of them were visually impaired except on a couple of occasions they had a lead vocalist who was regular, 20/20 vision," Cooper said.
Campbell's uncle was the owner of Hotel Kingston, located where the Kingston School of Nursing currently stands. They were hired as the resident band there, abandoning the Broncos titling. It was when the band was requested to play by the hotel's poolside that the boss had to consider a new name for the band - then introduced them as The Fabulous Five.
"As for Unique Vision, they were formed after the Fab Five. "We kinda took them under our wings and push them. But one of the problems is that people in general do not accept people with a disability," Cooper told The Sunday Gleaner.
Cooper maintains that there are social issues and stigma against visually impaired musicians, despite the fact that Fab Five and Unique Vision continues as a staple in the local music industry. "If there were two bands up for grabs - if there was Johnny T and the Dreadlocks and Unique Vision - they would probably go for Johnny T, even though Unique Vision is a better band," he analogised.
Fab Five band consists of manager Frankie Campbell (bass), Harold (Jr) Bailey (guitar, flute, saxophone and now part-time sound engineer), musical director Grub Cooper (drums and lead vocals), Sidney Thorpe (keyboards), Donovan Lee Palmer (keyboards), Romeo Gray (trombone), Andre Palmer (trumpet), Andrew Cassanova (vocals), and Cleveland Manderson (guitar and vocals), who has been working with the Unique Vision band for more than 27 years. Other people perform from time to time as part of the wider Stage Records family. Among dozens of other national awards, Grub Cooper and Frankie Campbell have each been awarded the Order of Distinction (OD) by the Government for their contribution to the development of Jamaican music.

Today's technology has blessed us with so many ways of accessing the living prophets. The General Conference pages on lds.org have each talk in varous formats ... text, audio and visual. The audio component of each talk is downloadable. So I downloaded all the talks (except the Priesthood session because they don't have .mp3s for those) and I burned them onto a CD. My car stero plays .mp3s and so now I instead of listening to talk radio or music, I listen to the prophets. And what a blessing it has been these last couple of weeks. The Spirit has been in my life a lot more now because of me listening to those talks.
This morning I finished listening to all the talks. Elder Holland's talk was a perfect bookend to the October General Conference. He spoke of how General Conference is not only for members of the Church but for the entire world. He said of the General Conferences,
they declare eagerly and unequivocally that there is again a living prophet on the earth speaking in the name of the Lord. And how we need such guidance! Our times are turbulent and difficult. We see wars internationally and distress domestically. Neighbors all around us face personal heartaches and family sorrows. Legions know fear and troubles of a hundred kinds. This reminds us that when those mists of darkness enveloped the travelers in Lehi's vision of the tree of life, it enveloped all of the participants—the righteous as well as the unrighteous, the young along with the elderly, the new convert and seasoned member alike. In that allegory all face opposition and travail, and only the rod of iron—the declared word of God—can bring them safely through. We all need that rod. We all need that word. No one is safe without it, for in its absence any can "[fall] away into forbidden paths and [be] lost," as the record says.4 How grateful we are to have heard God's voice and felt the strength of that iron rod in this conference these past two days.
I am looking forward to listening to General Conference again in a couple of weeks. The Spirit indeed fills our lives when we listen to General Conference.
As I listented to Elder Holland and then President Hinckley conclude the October 2006 conference, my heart strings were pulled a little bit ... much like they are pulled when you have to go home from a family reunion ... you are sad to leave your loved ones, but you know you'll see them again. But again, technology saved the day and my mp3 player looped my CD as I listened again to President Hinckley's opening remarks!
As a side note, there are many, many talks on the Internet in mp3 format. BYU Speeches has many devotionals in mp3 format ... if I just take the time to rip and burn these files to CD, I doubt I'll ever listen to the radio in the car again!

Year 2008? – Good Riddance!!
"Every New Year is a direct descendant of a long line of proven criminals" – Ogden Nash (1902-1971), American poet
How true one would consider this quote to be considering how the previous year passed by. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I term the year as the MOTHER OF ALL TRAGEDIES!. Was there anything left in the list of tragedies that didn't happen in 2008? Mmm.. lemme think..
It remains the grand DADDY of all tragedies that happened last year. It resulted in mass unemployment in most of the count
ries, big banks going bankrupt, car companies running out of gas, nations getting burdened by inflation, bulls turning bearish, realty rates tumbling like a pack of cards and millionaire CEOs accepting wages which pretty much puts them below the poverty line (wage-wise of course)!
Natural Disasters
Mother Earth hath no fury spared on her children! She rampaged the earth with all madness that any mother would to a child who has treated her like garbage(read global warming). Cyclone Nargis, Bihar floods, China earthquakes, Hurricane Gustav, other landslides, flash floods, tropical storms, you name it, we got it.
I'm sure, putting war into the caegory of tragedies would be vehemently objected by George Bush, but what else can be said other than pity the old guy; he himself had his own shoe err.. share of tragedies. The long continuing Iraq war, the Afghanisthan war, Israel war made sure that war had its own quota wrestled in the 2008.
Our very own faithful tragedy. This is something that has made sure that no year ever goes boring. In fact, it would be quite a surprise if any year goes by peacefully. Be it suicide bombings, hostage situations, infiltrations, terrorism was at its zenith.
A sensational comback indeed! The pirates of Somalia made sure that piracy be not left out from tragedies. Pirates have infact been demanding to provide reservation in the tragedies scenario so they can have their fair share. They have shown how piracy is a lucrative business and people have been wrong in ignoring it.
When so many events making headlines in the year, why should politicians be left behind? From US Senatior Rob Blagojevich, to our own Left party in India, scandals sure rocked the nations.
In terms of a movie-goer, I would rather say year 2008 was quite action packed! Other than the electrifying news (on a positive note) of Barack Obama making history and Olympics underlining the proverbial opportunity in situations of adversity, good news was hard to come by. No wonder, on the eve on New Year, the world rejoiced not as much as for the new year and what belies in the future but for the year that had thankfully passed. When the clock struck 12, people could be heard saying Good Riddance 2008 rather that Welcome 2009!
January 12, 2009 8:46 pm
I am gonna tell you something. The high point of 2008 was that at some point of time we had a bright market with the sensex reaching 21000.
2009 seems to be the worse. We have hope in Obama, but not very sure as to what a lone man can do in such hard times.
If I am wrong, consider yourself lucky.

A strike by the in-form Ryan Campbell on 55 minutes was enough to earn Ballinamallard United all three points at Ferney Park.
It was Campbell's third goal in a week and keeps the Fermanagh side out of the relegation zone.
The goal came after McMenamin, playing in an unaccustomed midfield holding role, set up dangerman Liam Martin and when he crossed from the byline Campbell was on hand to steady himself before shooting past keeper James McGrath from 10 yards.
Glenavon did have chances with Eoin Bradley shooting over from point blank range and again hitting the side netting when a goal looked on.
Forsythe should have levelled when he was put through on goal, but skewed his effort just past the far post.
Ballinamallard could have added more towards the end of the game when Jason McCartney was through one on one with the keeper, but shot wide.
Ballinamallard United: McCusker, McMenamin, Stafford, Martin, Lafferty, McCartney Foy (McKenna 72), Feeney, Campbell (Curie 77), Crilly, McLoughlin

Today was my sweet, baby girl's "graduation" from elementary school and while Stanley makes fun of it for all of the pomp and circumstance, I defend it, not as a true graduation but a marking of yet another milestone in the lives of our kiddos. Today, my tears fell in earnest as I listened to the achievements and accolades each of these kids earned in their years at Rivers Edge. Today, I listened in awe as our beloved principal broke down in tears reading first a poem she wrote and then telling a story of a mother eagle pushing her kids out of their nest to go achieve what they are supposed to achieve. These are her kiddos. They are ones who began their elementary school journey as she began her first year as a principal. These were her group of children and she saw go from shy kindergartner to leaders of the school. And her tears fell.
My darling girl looked so grown up and ready for the challenges of the middle school years as she received her awards and was presented with her graduation medal. But as she and her chorus sang their closing song, I saw the quiver of her chin and her tears fell. I know why. It's her last time performing on the stage of her cherished elementary school. And as I watched her tears I flashed back to times gone by and I saw her as a kindergartner up on stage for the first time singing for the parents and my tears fell too.
I know most of you know how much I adore elementary school. And today solidified, once again, why I cherish these years. All three of my kiddos were loved...they may have screwed up, goofed off, gotten into trouble but they were always loved in elementary school.
I can't believe Claire's time at Rivers Edge is at an end...it seems like just yesterday she walked into Mrs. Ciucci's kindergarten class where she was taught how much she was loved and respected as a student. Claire moved on to Mrs. Hodges, and first grade, where she was taught that she was terrific and magnificent and the class rule was to never hurt anyone on the inside or outside. Mrs. Bowles became Claire's fabulous second grade teacher who taught her to love learning and challenged her to always try new and different approaches to learning everything. Third grade was the year she stepped into Mrs. Livesay's marvelous classroom full of enthusiasm and a passion for teaching. Claire was then given the gift of Mrs. Boyer in fourth grade who continued to show these kiddos the joys of learning...excitement and energy abounded in her class. Fifth grade...what can I say? Claire, and Rivers Edge, has been blessed with the best of teachers and fifth grade was no exception. Mr. Friedman's devotion to teaching knows no bounds and Mrs. Dussault rounded out Claire's fifth grade experience with a joy at imparting the love of learning. She couldn't be more blessed...and neither could we.
Claire is the only one of my three to go from kindergarten to fifth grade in one school so for her, and me, this time is a little harder. The teachers who have had Zach and Lucas have also had Claire. These teachers were not only my kids' teachers they have become my friends...sharing the joys and pitfall of our journey in raising these kiddos. To all of you, know how much you are loved, appreciated and admired for all you have given not only my kids but to me as well.
So, today my tears fell for the love of my children...
|The Fabulous Mr. Friedman and Claire
|Marking Claire's milestone
|Nana and Granddad came too
|Our wonderful Mrs. Dussault and Claire

10."We capitalize on your nostalgia."
In the market for a new-in-package Transformer toy from the 1980s? Be prepared to shell out well into the four figures, Lindsay says. (New Transformers today go for about $10 to $50.) "People are trying to reclaim their childhood," he says. "The market for Star Wars and Transformer memorabilia has been on a consistent upswing over the past decade," he says. And in the past five years, it's exploded. Reagan-era toys of all sorts are hot these days among bidders entering middle age.
Many adults today enjoy buying new versions of their childhood favorites — such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and that old curvaceous standby, Barbie — for their kids. They tend to become collectors, buying vintage toys made during their youth, after the kids leave the house, says Christopher Bensch, chief curator of The Strong, a museum in Rochester, N.Y., dedicated to play. "It's their chance before they begin downsizing to enjoy, relive, and perhaps get what those evil parents and grandparents never did," he says.
On top of that, auction houses are drawing in customers by promoting collectibles as an investment. Just be careful to buy things you're well-educated about, insiders advise. Stouder says it's no coincidence that she gravitates toward farm equipment at auctions. Her grandfather was a dairy farmer in Vermont, and she spent her youth playing in his barn.

Happy October DNS Families! It's such a beautiful time of year, and we always enjoy getting outside with students in the fall. We have lots of fun things going on including upcoming field trips to places like Gray Animal Park, and the LOCAL Garden.
We are also continuing our focus on our three school rules - Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible. We kicked off a recognition program where staff are recognizing students for being "kind" - if they are caught being kind, they get a ticket from staff for their classroom, and when classrooms collect ten tickets they get to put a bee in our hive. When our hive is full of bees, we will have a school-wide celebration!
And speaking of celebrations, at Dike-Newell School, our motto is to be a community where everyone matters. In order to ensure that all students feel included and are members of our community, we do not dress up for Halloween or wear costumes to school as it can be very disruptive to the learning environment, and many families choose not to celebrate Halloween. Please feel free to dress your child in orange and black for Halloween if you would like, but no costumes - thank you in advance!

Will Smoking Give You Wrinkles – Smoker Alert!
Are you lighting up as you read this? Have you tried to give up smoking umpteen times, but failed time and time again – and now you've just given up on giving up? If you're a woman – or maybe, in these male beauty-conscious times, even if not – then there's a factor you might do well to consider before you open up that tempting new packet of coffin nails.
Did you know that according to some studies, there is a statistical association between smoking and level of skin wrinkling? Yes, I think the implication is that, possibly, smoking causes wrinkles! You may indeed have been warned of this by a friend or relative – perhaps an elderly one, pointing at her haggard visage in a spirit of awful warning as she tried to get you off the demon weed. The younger you were at the time, the less likely it is that you really took any notice of her, any more than you did of any of the other physical effects of smoking. But in fact there are a number of serious peer-reviewed academic papers on this very subject.
If you're still young, with nice, smooth skin, then don't underrate the value of that! If you don't take proper care of what is one of your greatest aesthetic assets, then you'll surely live to regret it later on (especially when you're forced to read anti-wrinkle cream reviews, searching for an answer.) Wrinkles are a tragic by-product of the accumulation of wisdom, taste and an antipathy to loud popular music which we know as 'ageing'. And they come to us all: but the later the better.
Buy Smoking Products On Amazon
Once you actually have wrinkles then you'll certainly care about them: so why not try caring about them a little more now, when you can perhaps actually take some preventative action regarding them? Check out the price of fancy anti-wrinkle creams on the beauty counter at your local department store. They ain't cheap, are they? Maybe you can save yourself some dollars too!
A 1995 study by Ernster et al[1] found that there was an association between cigarette smoking and the development of wrinkles. It rendered assessors of severity of wrinkling 'blind' to the smoker/ex-smoker or non-smoker status of the test subjects and controlled for other factors such as the extent of sunbathing done by test subjects. Current and past smokers were assessed according to the number of 'smoking years' they had accrued, judged by the number of packs they had got through.
Not all academic studies have entirely agreed with these findings. A 2006 study by O'Hare et al[2] was tellingly titled 'Tobacco smoking contributes little to facial wrinkling', and suggested that a lack of blinding and experimental rigour could account for previous associations found between smoking and skin wrinkling. However, even this study conceded that six per cent of the variance in actual wrinkling levels in test subjects, as opposed to expected mean (average) levels, could be attributed to smoking. Now, to me, six per cent seems like a fairly significant number, even if, or indeed especially if, all potential risk-factors e.g. sunbed use, don't apply to you. If an anti-wrinkle cream promised to reduce wrinkles by six per cent, then women would be beating down department store doors to get at it!
A 2007 study by Helfrich et al[3] told a different story, looking at skin not exposed to sun damage (the inner upper arm) in a range of subjects in order to determine the extent of influence of factors such as smoking status on wrinkling. The researchers 'blinded' the study, i.e. the assessors were not aware of the status of the test subjects and a standardised visual assessment tool was used to score the wrinkling of test subject skin. Smoking again was found to be a significant risk factor in relation to wrinkling.
Personally it doesn't seem surprising to me that smoking would have some correlation with a greater than average degree of skin wrinkling. Half the female smokers I know will put their hands up to the charge that they smoke in order to reduce their appetite for food and thus keep their weight down. Now, it's not unreasonable to suppose that the skin – along with every other organ of the body – needs a certain level of nutrients to stay young and pert and pretty. (Not that I'm sure how pert my pancreas is, but you get my drift). If you're deliberately reducing your intake of useful nutrients, I humbly propose that your skin, along with everything else, will suffer the ill-effects. Girls, eat your veggies! And your chicken, nuts, milk, fruit and veggie burgers, too. Just eat. Anorexic is not a good look, supermodels be damned. Because, you know, looking old and wrinkly is not a good look. It's not a cool look, either, even with a cigarette dangling from your puckered smeared lips.
And bear in mind the financial advantages of giving up in the light of this information. If you succeed in kicking the demon weed, then you're not just saving the money you used to spend on cancer sticks. You're also saving, somewhere down the line, the money you would otherwise be fruitlessly wasting on appallingly expensive anti-wrinkle eye creams. And also, quite possibly, on facelifts that will make you look like a shop window dummy. Seriously, that's several weekends in Paris, a smartphone and a Wii Fit right there. At least.

As the growing season draws to a close and your equipment finishes its last pass through the field, it's reassuring to know that yet another successful year is complete. However, your next growing season is just over the horizon. As every grower knows, when your equipment is operating smoothly, efficiency improves and stress levels decrease. One of the most important pieces of equipment to have operating flawlessly, pass after pass, is your center pivot or linear irrigation machine. The simplest way to avoid nuisance breakdowns and component wear is to stay on top of machine maintenance, especially after a long growing season.
The following tips, provided by Valley Irrigation, are just some of the practices that will keep your irrigation system operating year after year.
Water and gears have never gotten along with each other, so don't force your drive train to operate with water. To avoid this issue, regularly drain any accumulated water in gearboxes and center drives. Additionally, check your gearbox oil levels, as well as your tire air pressures, to make sure they're not too high or too low.
When your center pivot is parked for the offseason, it is important to check even the little things. Checking the placement of machine micro-switches allows you to avoid sporadic shutdowns so that you can keep irrigating and save time. Not only can your micro-switches wreak havoc on your machine if ignored, but so can foreign material in span piping. Flushing your pipe periodically during the irrigating season and before the off-season can keep your machine free of accumulated sediments and prevent accelerated pipe corrosion or troublesome clogging.
Like many mechanical systems, your irrigation machine's moving parts require lubrication to minimize steel-on-steel contact. Frequent greasing of your pivot point bearing, towable hubs, corner rollers and any other moving parts is the best way to avoid accelerated wear of components. To further prevent machine stress and protect other equipment from damage, be sure to fill deep wheel tracks during the offseason. If battling wheel track conditions is a consistent or worsening issue for your operation, it may be time to look at Valley's line of high-flotation tire options or a new custom sprinkler package to keep your wheel tracks dry.
Similar to your truck or tractor, frequent maintenance of your center pivot or linear is always recommended. Taking note of total machine hours from a pivot's smart panel prior to servicing can help you keep track of your maintenance periods and habits. Additionally, utilizing features in your smart panel, like the built-in history log or the tire pressure monitor/shutdown option, can keep you updated on what is happening on your farm.

Rachana Sivadasan
A Pack of Lies
Urmila Deshpande
Price: 295; Pages: 291
First and foremost, you do not feel like touching the book. It is too wet, oops, slimy to say. The colour the reviewer meant, dummy. The you stand vindicated, when the writing is mostly crosses the delicate barrier of pornography and erotica. Oh, well, is it another tale of a nymphomaniac's account, warts and all? Oh, again, read through, bet. Not the book. This review.
Since this review is written from a women's point of view, here it goes: A man would like the first half for its salacious details; and a woman would like it for the second half for its escape and facing life. Ooohm, ha. Now here it goes, the continual virtue of the uninvited.
The story revolves around Virginia, or rather Ginny, and her view of the world, first through the cunt (a favourite word she uses all through and where she came from) and then through a well-meaning head-upon-stronger shoulders, whatever you make out to be. It takes the reader lightly, or headily, yet held very close, always bosom-like, through the tumultuous story of childhood lost and never found, tiresome they most of them all.
A circle of friends who stays with them all, with the protagonist throughout her very disturbing growth, whatever it accounts to. Ginny belongs to that great world of glamour and fashion, but, subtly, the author keeps the reader tethered, far away, from the arc lights, treating us, yes us, instead to a myriad flashbacks and events of a heart-wrenching quality, of uselessness, we are not sure.
It's an oft-repeated tale of lost childhood and a broken family, and trying hard to regain that loss, which loss is not anyone's prerogative. What holds true is this very simple story together, put together, is Ms Urmila Deshpande's use of the language, which is simple, you know… filling the gap for the reader and to make the reader, for, for the protagonist.
The storyline meanders along like the 80's obsession with Anglo-Indian (or is Anglo-Saxon?) themes, were alcoholism was a common vice and young girls got carried away with sexual interludes and almost ruin their lives. If you have watched the movie Julie, the one with the south Indian actress Lakshmi doing the honours, well, then, you have a little bit of a background with a bit of Fashion thrown in.
Character sketches are done with a lot of detail; good. There's the creepy old man of a photographer who almost messes with Ginny's life, taking her under his wing. The loyal man-buddy, Roy, and Bree that close girlfriend without whom no girl is complete. Millie and Simi, the half-sisters, come out clear and there is no extra frill to highlight any nuance of their natures. The author deserves due credit for economy of melodrama when it could have been stretched out to fill another hundred pages.
Definitely a woman's world dissected for study, Ginny is never described in complete detail. The reader is left clueless, looking for meaning (or insights?) into the fact that she has fizzy hair, of all the things, aha, and she never feels comfortable in her skin, thanks to the ugly duckling syndrome, ahem.
A mix of Mills and Boons, should we say, and an emotional pot-boiler, at its best, A Pack of Lies makes sure that the reader gets the required amount of the thrills in just about every sphere; well, barring science fiction and history. Good to keep you for a day-long train journey — you know, if you are a woman or a man, not necessarily in that order, curious about the 'womanly torments'; which the author is in full command of.

If you are able to pay for a higher cost, your funds will help provide for someone else who doesn't experience the same financial ease. We appreciate your honesty and self-reflection in choosing the cost that is appropriate for you. We believe that coming together in mutual support and moving away from valuing dollars over humans will make all of our communities healthier and happier.
The reduced rates we offer are a critical component to making our program inclusive, accessible and equitable. Our equity rates are given to those whose voices have been historically marginalized and silenced, and are therefore underrepresented as yoga and meditation teachers. This means non-white, queer, people with disabilities (visible and non-visible), and people who cannot typically access these kinds of programs due to prohibitive cost and/or cultural insensitivity.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Before you do anything or read the rest of this post, if you love me, you'll answer this poll:
Ticky which of the following represent the "Big Five" Game (must choose five) (also, did I just make you lose the game?):
Chad Michael Murray
T. Rex
Black Rhinoceros
White Russian
White Rhinoceros
Why did you pick Chad Michael Murray?
I didn't because he's too fierce a beast to hunt.
Because he is the Most Dangerous Game.
After you've answered, you may click on the lj cut.
Psych enjoys randomly dropping references about Chad Michael Murray. I gather the reason is due to James Roday not being too impressed with Dr. C.M. Murray, Esquire Lord of Squintvilleshire, B.F.A and licensed bikini inspector.
Therefore, this poll had to happen. You're welcome.
Whoever loves me the most will be granted immorality.*
God, it's been snowing all day. I'm so not looking forward to the afternoon commute. I do get to head off at 4pm so hopefully my subway line continues to run at a decent pace.
I need to focus on things that make me happy. Such as Be Good, Johnny Weir, AKA the most fabulous show on TV right now. Yes, RuPaul's Drag Race is NOT the most fabulous place to be. A lot of the contestants just don't hold a candle to last year's queens. Plus, save for crazy-boring-CRAZY Tyra, almost none of the girls seem to apply their makeup properly. Learn to blend, thanks.
I have also found all of Daria on youtube so I am reliving my teenage years. Goddamn, there was some sweet, sweet music on Daria. I have no idea how the DVDs (DVDs coming out in May! *falls over*) are going to have half of the songs used in an episode. Save for the opening credits and the musical episode, they didn't have any original music.
The first time Daria aired, I remember the next day in middle school (oh god, I was in middle school when the series began), some asshole popular boy (who eventually did say the most awesome thing ever in 10th grade social studies: "It's like the Matrix up in here!" a complaint I still use when I'm being douchey) ragging on the series and how Daria was a bitch, etc. No, Daria is awesome, thank you very much, and shockingly, watching the episodes now after not seeing them since the time I used to watch MTV, goddamn, she's even more relevant.
She makes thoughtful decisions. She's not perfect but she strives to make the right choices and acknowledges when she's in the wrong. WTF is this awesome female character doing and how long before I can dress up as her for Halloween?
I watched the episode about contact lenses during my break and MAN, I felt it so much. It took me until sophomore year of college to get contacts (partially fueled by my mom's insistence that since I couldn't put eyedrops in my eyes, I wouldn't be able to wear contacts). Really, it did wonders for my peripheral vision although I still don't have as good peripheral vision as my two "normal" sighted sisters.
Without a good segue, I link the listing for NBC's airing of the Winter Olympics. All I care about is figure skating and the DRAMA. I am prepared for Johnny Weir to break my heart, for the US Women's team to not be as awesome as other nations, and for the lol factor of pairs skating and the super LOLZ of ice dancing.
Oh, and I will follow speedskating out of loyalty to Colbert Nation.
By immortality, I mean I will write an anonymous limerick.

If you are going to have a booth at a business convention or are participating in a business gathering, the simplest way to get your name out there is with promotional products. Convention promotional items put your business at the forefront of the client's mind, and a more useful product will ensure they remember you after the show. Here are some tricks and ideas that might be effective for your next convention.
Gaming the System
Having a game is a great way to gather a crowd. You might have a bowl full of pens; the attendee will have to guess how many pens are in the bowl in order to win a prize. Yes, your name or logo will be emblazoned on each pen. After they register and fill out the guessing form, you can let them walk away with their own!
Walk Away Stress
Conventions can be stressful for exhibitors and attendees. Why not hand out stress balls featuring your business's name as you walk the aisles? Here are some ideas that can get noticed:
- Tooth Squeezies or Dentist Bert for a dental convention
- Money Wad or Custom Bucks for an accounting convention
- Fun Spinners with a customized logo for those trying to stay on trend
Having a laugh over a squeezie or spinner is a great ice-breaker and will definitely be a positive memory for your potential clients.
Discover how our line of unique stress relievers can help your business.
Coffee Buzz
Attendees and exhibitors can be tired by the afternoon hours. Consider having a coffee maker at your booth and handing out a cup of coffee to those who stop by. The Traveler insulated cup is eco-friendly and a great convention promotional items. Of course, your logo can be displayed right on the side for everyone to see.
Sweet Somethings
If you're looking for an idea that will sweeten up your potential clientele, consider sharing a little sugar. You can put your logo on a piece of Andes Thin Mint chocolate or another sweet treat and have a picker-upper for those who stop by with the munchies.
Keep 'Em Warm
Sports gatherings or sports enthusiast conventions might have you wearing a neon green Sportsman 8″ Knit Beanie or another warm hat with your logo on it. You can wear one while giving them out to other spectators who might find themselves reaching for the beanie on their next outdoor adventure.
There are plenty of fun and unique ways to get your name out to the public. Choose convention promotional items that will have individuals fondly remembering your company long after the convention or gathering. ad cetera, inc can help you find effective promotional items for your business.

NAACP Receives Opposition From Other Blacks; Irrelevant & Lame Organization!
Other Blacks are now beginning to speak out against the NAACP.
People are Not Stupid! They realize that the NAACP hasn't done anything
LATELY to uplift the "regular" American Black Community and has become a tool for White Democrats i.e., a Black Vote Buying scheme.
Sitting back, allowing us to be Destroyed & Forced back into Slavery.
I believe its safe to say that the "new" NAACP is Irrelevant and Lame!
NAACP Receives Opposition From Tea Party Groups With Black Members
Standing with a poster of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., LaNell Babbage-Torres announced the creation of her own Tea Party group, called American Dreams USA Tea Party.
"The Tea Party movement is basically the new civil rights movement," Babbage-Torres said during a news conference in Roswell on Saturday. "It is for everybody who believes in the Constitution of the United States."
She's been involved with Georgia's Tea Party Movement for about a year and said she has never seen any evidence of racism.
"I've had my friends, Democrats, say the Tea Party is another name for the Ku Klux Klan," she said. "And when I heard that, I thought that is so slanderous and mean-spirited. It can incite violence."
The Vice Chair of Policy for the NAACP, Hilary Shelton, had strong words for the Tea Party when he stopped by NBC's Atlanta studio Saturday morning.
"Are you surprised by how much reaction you're getting or was that the goal?" asked 11Alive's Jennifer Leslie.
"We are surprised," Shelton said. "We raised a very legitimate issue. Our offices across the country are getting death threats and other threats because we asked the Tea Party to repudiate those racist elements from within."
The NAACP adopted a resolution during its national meeting on Tuesday condemning "racist elements" in the Tea Party movement and calling on the movement's leaders to repudiate bigotry.
"I think the NAACP is being divisive," said Shelley Wynter, an African-American member of the new Amercian Dreams USA Tea Party who hosts an internet talk show. "I think it's purposely done as an arm of the Democratic Party."
Members of the small new Tea Party group insisted race is a distraction, not an issue.

I'm working on a bit of homework and I don't need someone to do it for me but to help out with this portion. The rest of it is pretty easy to manage since I already have it mostly done but right now I can't figure out how to get the first part to work.
The problem is to ask the user for the name of the file, verify that the file exists and is readable, and if the file does not exist or not readable to issue an error message. I think I have most of it down but I'm just confused how to get the user input to be checked. Basically the error messages and the fact that it is readable or a file just get skipped and the script goes to the sorting part of the assignment. Any ideas? My script is pasted below.
# The purpose of this script is to sort a
# file containing a single line address
# by the zip code, last name, and first
# name and then format it properly.
echo "Please enter a file to sort: \c"
read filename
for file in $1
if test -f $file
echo "$file is a file."
echo "$file is not a file."
if test -r $file
echo "$file is readable"
echo "$file is not readable."
echo "Please enter one of four of the follow selections:\n"
echo "1 to sort by zip code."
echo "2 to sort by last name."
echo "3 to sort by first name."
read choice
case $choice in
1) sort -k8 $1
2) sort -k1 $1
3) sort -k2 $1
*) echo "Please enter a valid choice."

BREMERTON, Wash. –
The Florida State men's golf team finished in 21st place in the team standings as play in the NCAA West Regional Championship on the Olympic Course at the Golf Mountain Golf Course came to a close Saturday. The Seminoles were led in the individual standings by senior All-American Jonas Blixt who finished in a tied for 30th place. Neither the Seminoles as a team nor Blixt as an individual qualified to advance to next week's NCAA Championship finals.
No. 2 ranked Southern California won the regional championship with a two stroke victory over Oregon and a five stroke margin over Clemson of the ACC. The Trojans trailed the Ducks after the first round but took over the lead in the second round and held on to win the event. The top five team finishers had a decidedly Pac-10 flavor with Southern California, Oregon, Washington and UCLA taking four of the five final team finishes. Joey Benedetti of Oregon won the individual championship with a nine-under par score of 207.
Blixt (Hammaro, Sweden) led Florida State in the final standings with a five-over par score of 221 and led the Seminoles during the final round of the event with a two-under par score of 70. It marked the third time in his last five regional championship rounds that he had carded a single round score of even par or better. Blixt's score of 70 tied his regional championship career-low score; he also carded a 70 in the third round of the 2007 NCAA East Regional Championship.
Blixt closes his Florida State career as one of the most decorated golfers in school history. He is certain to earn All-America honors for the second time this season, is a two-time All-ACC honoree, became the first ACC individual Champion in school history in 2007 and led the Seminoles back to national prominence. Blixt helped the Seminoles to the 2008 ACC Championship – the first ACC championship in school history.
Sophomore Seath Lauer (Huntington, Ind.) finished in second among his Seminole teammates and in a tie for 71st place in the individual standings. He carded scores of 74-76-78 for a three round total of 228. He was followed in the team standings by freshman Drew Kittleson (tied for 114th place), sophomore Cameron Knight (tied for 114th place) and junior Matt Savage (tied for 121st place).
Florida State and ACC Coach of the Year Trey Jones enjoyed one of the top seasons in school history. In addition to advancing to the NCAA regional championship for the third consecutive season the Seminoles won three events this season – the Inverness Intercollegiate in the fall and the Seminole Intercollegiate and the ACC Championship in the spring. The Seminoles' victory at the Inverness Intercollegiate was Florida State's first team championship since the 1998 season. The three team wins for the Seminoles this year marked the first time since the 1994-95 fall and spring seasons that they have won at least three tournaments in a single year.
Additionally, Jones was named the ACC Coach of the Year and Blixt and Savage earned All-ACC honors for the second consecutive season. The Seminoles, who lose only Blixt to graduation, earned six top-five team finishes in its six events during the spring 2008 season. The Seminoles finished in the top five in eight of their 10 tournaments during the fall 2007 and spring 2008 seasons.
